Wall, who was awarded the CBE, was a regular partner to Dame Margot Fonteyn.
He studied at the Royal Ballet School and joined the ballet's touring company in 1963, becoming principal in 1966.
Wall, who was 67, died at his family home in Croydon, south London, on Tuesday. Friend Christopher Price paid tribute to "a great dancer and artist".
"It has been an honour to know him and he has brought the world and his family so much joy and happiness during his lifetime," said Mr Price.
"His passing will be an enormous loss to us all."
Daria Klimentova, senior principal ballerina with the English National Ballet (ENB), said she would dedicate her Wednesday performance in Swan Lake at the Royal Albert Hall to her former teacher and friend.
She said she would not be at the ENB without him and that she did not know how she was going to be able to perform after hearing the news.
Gary Avis, ballet master and principal character artist at the Royal Ballet, said he would be raising a glass to his friend.
"With admiration, gratitude and respect I thank you David Wall for being a friend, mentor and gentleman!" he said on Twitter.
He said his passing was "unbelievably sad" but called him "a brave and courageous man" adding he was "inspirational but above all a real gent with an amazing sense of humour".
David Wall was accepted into the Royal Ballet school at the age of 10. A school teacher persuaded his mother to let him audition after seeing his potential in the compulsory ballroom dancing lessons at his primary school in Windsor.
But he said he did not always know he wanted to dance professionally. He told Ballet Magazine it was not until he completed his training, at the age of 16 that he decided.
"David Wall came at a particular time in British Ballet. If you think that British ballet started in 1931. So when David was dancing in the 1960s that was really when it grew up.
We had this generation of home-grown male talent that hadn't had to take time out to do national service.
So it really was the first time there was this coterie of male principals and David was at the forefront of that.
I think he combined incredible technical facility and strength but with real acting ability, real interpretive skills.
If you went to see David perform it was akin to really seeing someone at the National Theatre.
You felt you were going into the character, you were not just seeing the steps you were living the life of the character and that was his particular skill.
David had an incredibly masculine presence, he had a real physicality.
When he danced a pas de deux with Lynn Seymour or Alfreda Thorogood, his wife who he danced with, you had no doubt there was that chemistry between them. Because he managed to have this sensuality and real masculinity in his work."
Deborah Bull is a former Royal Ballet dancer and Creative Director at The Royal Opera House.
"At that point, we were witness to two really great ballets: La Fille mal gardee had just been created, and Cranko's Antigone, in which the males took on the leading roles. Also, Nureyev had just defected, so seeing the male get more prominence in the art form spurred me on," he said.
In 1963, Wall joined the Royal Ballet Touring Company and in 1970, he joined the main Royal Ballet company as principal.
It was a golden age of classical ballet and Wall danced all the leading roles with some of the greatest ballerinas, including Doreen Wells and Lynn Seymour.
He admitted at first he felt most comfortable dancing onstage with his wife Alfreda Thorogood, who was a principal dancer at the Royal Ballet.
He was 17 the first time he danced with Dame Margot Fonteyn.
Appearing on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, in 1978, Wall remembered feeling nervous when Dame Margot picked him to be her partner.
"I was doubting and questioning my ability very much for three weeks," he said.
"But as soon as I got into the rehearsal room, she put me totally at my ease and we really started to enjoy working."
Wall was renowned for his acting ability, which he said was due to his first artistic director, John Field, who encouraged his dancers to see plays and watch actors perform.
Wall retired from dancing in 1984, deciding not to continue as a character dancer.
"I had created Rudolf in Mayerling, I think that was the pinnacle of my career, and I probably would have just become complacent doing character roles. I needed other challenges," he told Ballet Magazine.
He became associate director of the Royal Academy and went on to become director.
In 1995, he joined the ENB as ballet master because he felt strongly about the importance of teaching ballet.
Gregory Nash, director of arts for the British Council, said on Wednesday that in 1981 Wall heard about the first National Festival of Youth Dance on the radio and immediately drove straight to Leicester to join them.
Many of his former students have paid tribute to his legacy.
He is survived by his wife, two children and a number of grandchildren. | Ballet dancer David Wall, who became the youngest male principal in the history of the Royal Ballet at the age of 21, has died of cancer. | 22,963,499 | 1,156 | 30 | false |
An EU directive has been adopted that means tests are counted when they conclude, instead of when they begin, making comparisons difficult.
But Home Office staff are "confident" that animal use has, indeed, fallen.
As usual, 50% of the 3.87 million total "procedures" were GM animals, which were created but not used in tests.
That overall figure compares to 4.12 million in 2013. But the Home Office's chief statistician David Blunt emphasised that there was a "discontinuity" between those two figures.
"This means that any comparisons made between 2014 and earlier should be made with caution," Mr Blunt told journalists at a briefing on Thursday.
"The 6% fall is what the data's got, but maybe it's not quite as big as that. But I'm still confident that there's a fall; it may be 3 or 4% or something like that."
Lord Bates, a Home Office minister, said he was "encouraged" to see the number of procedures apparently falling.
"Today's figures indicate the science community continues to respond to the government's firm commitment to adopting measures to replace, reduce and refine animal use," he declared in a written statement.
But the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) condemned the number of "severe" animal experiments taking place.
"The level of suffering animals are experiencing in Britain's laboratories is shameful," said NAVS president Jan Creamer.
"There is an urgent need for greater transparency and accountability in animal research, so these extreme tests can be reviewed and replaced with advanced non-animal methods."
The Home Office sees its collection of "severity" data as a big step forward in terms of transparency. This is the first set of statistics to categorise animal usage into "sub-threshold" (28% in 2014), "non-recovery" (3%), "mild" (49%), "moderate" (14%) and "severe" (5%).
"We wanted to see how best we could inform the public of what goes on, so that there's a clear understanding of what's involved in the process of experimentation," said Prof Dominic Wells, from the Royal Veterinary College, who was part of the working group which drew up this classification.
"Each individual animal is assessed as to the worst pain, suffering or distress that happened. That can be either the single worst event, or a cumulative series of events that on their own are not particularly substantial, but when added together increase the severity."
Animal rights group Peta was unconvinced, describing the severity system as "absurd" and accusing experimenters and regulators of "a complete lack of compassion".
In July 2014 Norman Baker, at that time the Home Office minister responsible for this area, told the BBC he wanted to see animal experiments eventually cease altogether in the UK.
Despite wanting to reduce suffering, scientists and Home Office staff are unsure when, if ever, this target can be achieved.
"I think there is a general view... that the overall goal should be reduction to zero," Prof Wells told the BBC. "And when you look at numbers of animals used, we've come a huge way in 40 years. It's down to about a third.
"[But] I don't personally think zero is realistic, because I do not yet see a way that we can model the really complex interactions that go on within a living organism. You can model elements of it, absolutely… but it's still a long way off the really complex, whole animal."
Dr Judy MacArthur Clark, who heads the Home Office's Animals in Science Regulations Unit, said abolishing animal tests was "an aspiration".
"But you have to balance that against the human benefit, the animal benefit - because many of these experiments are for animal benefit - and the benefits to the environment," she told BBC News.
The accelerating pace of technological developments, some of which can replace the use of animals, makes future-gazing difficult, Dr MacArthur Clark added.
"We're not dealing with a static system.
"From a personal perspective, I don't see... bringing it down to zero as a realistic enough aim to be able to put a time frame on."
Also on Thursday, the Home Office confirmed that a new ban on animal testing of household products, announced in March, will come into effect on 1 November.
This policy forbids any testing of "finished" household products - a practice that has already largely ended in the UK - and places restrictions on testing of individual ingredients. Such tests, in the latest 2014 statistics, affected 138 animals.
Peta said the ban was "a baby step in the right direction".

The charity said Khizar Hayat, who was sentenced to death 12 years ago for killing a colleague, suffers from severe paranoid schizophrenia.
Authorities in Pakistan are about to resume executions after a break for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), the country has executed 176 people since lifting a moratorium in December.
Phelim Kine, deputy Asia director at HRW, said executing people with mental illnesses was "a barbarous affront to decency" that "serves no criminal justice purpose".
"Pakistan's president should immediately commute Khizar Hayat's execution and prevent a ghastly infringement of basic rights," Mr Kine said.
"The Pakistani government should take this opportunity to reaffirm its human rights commitments and explicitly reject the odious practice of executing people with psychosocial disabilities."
The UN Commission on Human Rights adopted resolutions in 1999 and 2000 urging countries not to impose the death penalty "on a person suffering from any form of mental disorder".
Mr Hayat, a former policeman, was arrested in 2001 for allegedly killing a colleague and in 2003 he was sentenced to death.
In 2008, he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and he has been taking antipsychotic medication since.
According to his lawyers, by 2012 Mr Hayat had become so delusional that he was moved to the prison hospital where he has spent the past five years.
Pakistan suspended executions for seven years until December 2014, when they were resumed in the wake of the Peshawar school massacre.
There are more than 8,000 people on death row in the country, according to HRW. About 1,000 have lost their appeals and had clemency petitions rejected.
Supporters of the death penalty in Pakistan argue that fast-track executions are needed to rein in militant attacks.
And the rest of the gulf is due to a monumental clash of expectations between the scope of what can be agreed by the deadline of 30 June.
What is clear both from what the Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis said last night and has released in his blog is that he is still arguing for a once-and-for-ever settlement - that includes a further reconstruction of Greek public sector debts to make them more sustainable.
He is arguing for a buy-out by the eurozone's financing arm, the ESM, of the European Central Bank's 27bn euros of loans to Greece - because the repayment schedule on these loans (or bonds) is yet another accident waiting to happen.
But although Varoufakis is doubtless right that it would be rational to pre-emptively remove this threat of probable future defaults, the eurozone is institutionally incapable of doing so at this juncture. It completely lacks the decision-making capacity - such is the dispersal of power between the member states and their respective parliaments.
Part of the sub-optimal political and economic compromise that is the eurozone, is that it can't chew gum and walk at the same time. Greece needs to wake up to this inescapable if disappointing reality.
And if Greece's government, led by Alexis Tsipras, wants to avoid default, it needs to concentrate on two issues in particular.
First there is the now small gap between Greece and the creditors on the scale of austerity required by 2018 - which has shrunk to the equivalent of just 0.5% of GDP in 2016.
Second is the demand by the creditors for cuts to Greek pensions.
Varoufakis argues persuasively that there have already been 40% cuts imposed on Greek pensioners, and a further cut would be devastating for many poor Greek families - because high unemployment makes them dependent on help from grandparents.
But if further cuts are socially and politically impossible for Syriza's government, it needs to come up with some kind of bankable counter-offer.
Because what was clear from briefings last night after the collapse yet again of the rescue talks is that the eurogroup and IMF are open to credible offers of budget savings to be found in other ways.
If the Greek government could find just one symbolic and money-saving measure, it seems fairly clear that a deal can still be done to release the crucial additional euros desperately needed by Greece to avoid default.
Or to put it another way, Tsipras and Varoufakis need to swallow their pride and see the creditors not as a vicious running dog of capitalism that wants to savage and humiliate their proud country but as a slightly bewildered and still young mongrel that just wants to be thrown some kind of bone.
All but two will make their Games debut with ex-Everton Academy player Michael Barker and Scotland's Jonathan Paterson competing in their third Games.
The squad features seven players who helped England to a fifth-placed finish at last year's Cerebral Palsy Football World Championships.
David Leavy is the sole representative of Northern Ireland in the squad.
The Great Britain team will be hoping to improve on their seventh-placed finish at London 2012.
Among the Paralympic debutants are former Birmingham City FC player Jack Rutter, who will captain the team, and Sean Highdale, who previously played for Liverpool FC and also represented England at Under-16s level. Both joined the national set-up after acquired brain injuries.
The squad also features former Tranmere Rovers forward Ollie Nugent, who currently plays for Chester FC.
As well as Paterson, there are two other Scots included, in Martin Hickman and David Porcher.
"There is no greater honour than to represent your country on the international stage," said Rutter. "We've come together to create a really competitive force and we believe we're up there with the best teams in the world.
"We're going out to Rio to make everyone back at home proud."
Squad: Jack Rutter, Sean Highdale, Emyle Rudder, Matt Crossen, Ollie Nugent, Giles Moore, Ryan Kay, Michael Barker, Liam Irons, Martin Hickman, David Porcher, James Blackwell, Jonathan Patterson, David Leavy
Detectives from the Legacy Investigation Branch (LIB) said they had new information about the shootings.
The two men were John Benedict Devine and John Joseph Gerard O'Hara.
"Both these men were innocent Catholics who were murdered for no other reason than their religion," a police spokesman said.
Both victims were targeted by loyalist gunmen in separate attacks. However, no-one has ever been charged in connection with either murder.
Mr Devine, 37, was shot dead at his home in Fallswater Street, west Belfast, on 23 July 1989.
He was sitting in his living room with his 13-year-old son when three men forced their way in and shot him before escaping in a blue taxi.
On 17 April 1991, John O'Hara, 41, was shot at Dunluce Avenue, south Belfast.
He was working as a taxi driver and had gone to pick up a passenger at 22:15 BST, when he was approached by two masked men who fired several shots at the car, fatally injuring him.
They ran away down an alleyway off Dunluce Avenue.
A police spokesperson said: "Two families were left devastated; two wives lost their husbands and their children lost their fathers at the hands of callous murderers.
"As a result of information we have recently received, we believe we are now in a position to progress both these investigations, however we need the help of the public."
Police want anyone who was in the area at the time of either shooting or who has information about the activities of loyalists in the area in the late 80s and early 90s to come forward.
The LIB took over from the Historical Enquiries Team at the start of this year after the HET was closed down.
It had been set up in 2005 as a special investigative unit attached to the PSNI to re-examine the deaths of 3,260 people in Northern Ireland between 1968 and 1998.
The LIB will operate until a new Historical Investigations Unit (HIU) begins its work.
A decision to set up the HIU was agreed under the Stormont House Agreement in December 2014..
The Stranraer team was called out to Luce Bay to help the vessel which had lost power shortly before 20:00 on Sunday.
It towed the boat away from the rocks before the tow was passed to a crew from Port William.
They were able to bring the vessel safely into harbour.
Over the past few seasons, if the Black Cats have been struggling in March then their trigger-happy owner Ellis Short has made the change of boss, and it has had a positive impact on the team.
That has not happened this time, even though Sunderland are in a terrible position. I don't see them avoiding relegation, and I have thought that for a number of weeks now.
So, it looks like Short is going to stick with Moyes - and I hope he does, because I would like to think he will get the chance to turn the club's fortunes around.
Can Moyes do it? Yes. Although his time at Sunderland so far has been extremely disappointing, I know from my time playing for him that he is the type of manager capable of the kind of rebuilding job that is required at the club.
In an ideal world, if Sunderland do go down then they would bounce straight back up the same way it looks like their north-east rivals Newcastle are going to do.
But if that sort of revival is going to happen at the Stadium of Light too, then there are a number of issues that need to be sorted out.
When Moyes was appointed Sunderland manager, at the end of July 2016, I thought it was a positive appointment.
In the short term, I expected him to do a similar job to his predecessor Sam Allardyce and keep them up - and then enhance the club over a number of years in the way he did with Everton.
I thought he would stop them shipping goals because, having worked with him at Preston and Everton, when things went against us and we did not play well he would make sure we always knew how to be solid and hard to beat.
He has not had that impact on the Sunderland team. Instead, everything about them has been flat right from the start of the season.
They have spent most of the season in the bottom three and there have only been very few moments when they have looked like they might get themselves out of trouble.
Exactly a year ago, Sunderland lost at home to Leicester and were four points from safety with six games to go.
They went on a run where they won three and drew three of their remaining games to dig themselves out of trouble.
This time, they have not even managed a goal in their past seven matches, and there is simply no sign of the spark they need for something similar to happen again.

Moyes has been very negative about the club's situation too, which is very unlike him. Right from the start, I got the sense he was unhappy with his situation.
The interview he gave after his side's defeat by Middlesbrough in August where he told fans to "expect a relegation battle" suggested to me that there was something else on the agenda, and maybe he was not getting the transfer funds he had been promised.
You could argue that Moyes was just being realistic, but he has not really done much to win the fans over with anything he has said, and that is the biggest difference between his situation and Rafael Benitez's at Newcastle when they went down last year.
There was a real positivity about Benitez when he was appointed in March 2016 and, at the end of the season, the fans were right behind him, saying the club had to persuade him to stay. They did, and they are reaping the rewards now.
I don't think there is anything like the same feeling towards Moyes on Wearside as there was towards Benitez on Tyneside.
When I listen to 606 on BBC Radio 5 live and hear Sunderland fans ringing in, there is no affection towards Moyes.
When I've gone to Black Cats games this season, I've not got the impression their supporters have any real confidence in him either.
Media playback is not supported on this device
One of the arguments for keeping Moyes is that Sunderland badly need some stability - he is their sixth permanent manager in just over four years.
They thought they had it under Allardyce - I remember speaking to Black Cats players John O'Shea and Lee Cattermole after they had beaten Everton in the penultimate match of last season to secure their Premier League safety.
The message from them, and from the fans I talked to at the Stadium of Light that day, was that they hoped they had a manager who was going to stay around because, under Allardyce, they were ready to kick on.

When Allardyce took the England job last summer, it changed everything. By the time Moyes came in, around three weeks before the season started, it felt like a last-minute appointment and they have never really recovered from that.
The tone for the season was set in the first few weeks, partly by Moyes himself, and it has just been one thing after another since then.
If Moyes is going to turn things around, then he needs to change the mood around the club, especially in the stands.
Some of the positivity the fans need would come from new signings, but the supporters badly need the manager to talk up their prospects too.
Moyes might have just been being honest but, for the past eight months, he has just not been upbeat enough.
Moyes has already talked about his plans to rebuild the Sunderland team next season with 'British-type' players.
He sees them as fitting into his style of play and being a fit for the region and the fans.
I would go along with that - I don't think the club has had an identity very often over the past 10 or 15 years, because not many managers have hung around long enough to establish one.
When I think of this Sunderland team, I don't picture a certain style of football - the last time they had that was when I was there under Peter Reid, and Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips were up front.
We got the ball into wide areas and got lots of crosses in. It was fast, quick football, with the fans right behind the team.
You could argue Moyes should aim for something similar, and part of that same approach could be to give young players a chance - something he has always been willing to do.

Jordan Pickford, Lynden Gooch, George Honeyman, Paddy McNair and Duncan Watmore are all 23 or under and have all featured for the Black Cats this season. If not for injuries, we would have seen more of them.
I am sure they will feature in the future too, but what we don't know yet is how they will react to the pressure and expectancy that comes if you are chasing promotion in the Championship.
Whatever division they are in next season, Sunderland will also need some new signings who will come in and make an instant impact.
So, Short needs to back his manager in the transfer market - if relegation does happen then rebuilding is not going to come cheap.
Kevin Kilbane was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Football's world governing body has revealed its plans for how the 48 places will be allocated, with 16 Europeans teams set to qualify.
The proposals - approved by Fifa's president and his counterparts at the six confederations - are expected to be ratified by the Fifa Council on 9 May.
Fifa members voted in January to expand the World Cup from 32 to 48 teams.
Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said he was "satisfied" with the proposals and that European nations would be "fairly represented".
All six confederations will have at least one team in the expanded tournament, with no inter-confederation play-offs prior to the play-off tournament.
The World Cup hosts will still qualify automatically, with their slot taken from their confederation's quota.
The recommended places for each confederation are:
Should the proposals be ratified, as expected, it will consist of one team from each confederation except Uefa, with the final team taken from the confederation of the host country.
Two teams will be seeded based on their Fifa ranking, and then face the winners of two knockout games involving the four unseeded teams, with the prize a place in the World Cup.
The play-off will be played in the World Cup's host country, with November 2025 suggested as a possible date for the 2026 qualifying play-off.
It will also double as a test event for the main tournament.
BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway
Uefa has achieved its stated aim of 16 slots. Its president, Aleksander Ceferin, made it clear that would be his demand in return for supporting an expanded tournament.
Ratification will be straightforward given the heads of the confederations have carved this up between them.
The play-off tournament is a new idea.
It may sound the death knell for the Confederations Cup given Fifa has described the new tournament as a test event. Fifa is keen to expand the Club World Cup as a summer tournament, and moving the qualifying tournament to November may create the necessary space in an already packed schedule.
There are significant issues still to be resolved in qualification processes, though.
Conmebol (South America) has been granted six slots. Given there are only 10 countries in the confederation, questions have been raised over how to make qualification an attractive proposition to broadcasters etc, given the ease with which some countries will qualify.
Wales are third in their qualifying group after four consecutive draws, four points behind leaders Serbia with five games remaining.
On Thursday manager Chris Coleman will name his squad for the qualifier against Serbia in Belgrade on 11 June.
"It goes without saying how important it is," the West Bromwich Albion forward Robson-Kanu said.
"We'll come together, be ready and try and get the result which we know we can.
"In every competitive international game to have to try and get points and the one in the summer will be no different."
Wales will hold a training camp at the Vale do Lobo resort in Portugal ahead of the qualifier in Serbia.
Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale and Aston Villa defender Neil Taylor are suspended for the game.
Liverpool youngsters Ben Woodburn and Harry Wilson are set to be included in the senior squad after being omitted from the Wales Under-20 squad at the Toulon Tournament.
Everton defender Gethin Jones, who spent the second half of the 2016-17 season on loan at Championship side Barnsley, could also be named in the squad.
The 21-year-old was born in Perth, Australia, and the Socceroos have been keen to bring the Porthmadog-raised youngster on board.
Jones, who has captained Wales sides at various levels including the Under-21 side, turned down an invitation to join Australia's development squad camp in Spain in March.
Up to 50 jobs are set to be lost as the titles become online-only, but the company said 12 new digital roles will be created.
The Reading Post, getreading and The Wokingham and Bracknell Times will close in Berkshire in December.
The Surrey Herald, Surrey Times and Wokingham Informer will also close as well as the Harrow Observer in west London.
Simon Edgley, managing director of Trinity Mirror Southern, said it was a "bold" move to focus on their websites and a digital-only operation.
"Decisions that impact our staff are never easy to make but they are absolutely necessary if we are to continue our transformation into a modern multiplatform publishing operation," he said.
In Berkshire, about 17 editorial, three administrative and six commercial roles will be lost and about 10 new digital editorial roles and two digital commercial roles will be created.
In Surrey and west London there will be a reduction of about 24 roles across its editorial and commercial departments.
Mr Edgley said: "This is a bold digital-only publishing transformation that will re-establish us as a growing media business that delivers the best quality journalism to our digital-savvy audience.
"We wholeheartedly believe that the future of our business here in Berkshire is online and this is an important and pioneering step that might, in time, be applicable to other existing markets or indeed new ones."
The Reading Post, Surrey Herald and Surrey Times will close on 17 December; The Wokingham and Bracknell Times, Harrow Observer and Woking Informer on 18 December; and getreading on 19 December.
The draft Modern Slavery Bill aims to increase the maximum custodial sentence for offenders from 14 years to life.
The draft bill would also create a new post of anti-slavery commissioner to hold law enforcement and other organisations to account.
The plans were first unveiled by Home Secretary Theresa May in August.
In an article for the Times newspaper, she said then that it was "scarcely believable" there was slavery in Britain, but the "harsh reality" was that there were people in the UK "forced to exist in appalling conditions, often against their will".
The Anti-Slavery Day Act 2010, which established an annual anti-slavery day to raise awareness of the issue, described slavery as including:
The Modern Slavery Bill aims to consolidate the offences used to prosecute those who enslave others into a single act.
According to the Crown Prosecution Service, current legislation contains a range of criminal offences related to human trafficking including:
The new bill would also provide for automatic life sentences for offenders with prior convictions for very serious sexual or violent offences.
One person who has experienced modern slavery, who gave his name as Mark, told BBC Newsnight he was offered work and a place to stay by a man who saw him leaving a soup kitchen.
Mark said he worked long hours, often getting up at 04:00 and labouring until as late as 23:00 with no breaks.
"I was paid nothing at all for the whole time I was working and that was standard," he said.
"There were people who had been here for a very, very long time - 10 or 15 years - and they had never seen a penny in that whole time."
He said workers were punished for behaviour like not working fast enough or dropping things - and punishments included beatings and even being hit with pickaxes and shovels.
Alongside the draft legislation, a review into modern slavery commissioned by the Home Office and carried out by Labour MP Frank Field will also be published.
Mr Field estimates that there are 10,000 victims of slavery in the UK.
But Mrs May told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The honest position is that we don't know whether that is the right figure, or whether there are fewer or indeed more victims in the UK.
"What we do know is that we have seen more referrals to what is called the national referral mechanism, where people are able to refer people who they think have been trafficked, who they think are the victims of modern slavery, into a central mechanism.
"The number of referrals has been increasing, and it's on that basis that we believe that we have seen an increase in this absolutely horrendous and appalling crime."
The founder of human trafficking charity Hope for Justice, Ben Cooley, welcomed the proposals.
"We've learnt from experience that victim welfare is inextricably linked to the prosecution of perpetrators," he said.
"This bill is a critical step towards ending slavery in our country but going forwards we must all ensure that victims are supported so they don't disappear on the other side of initial after-care provision just to be re-trafficked."
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said there was cross-party support for the Bill but it should include legal protection for child victims. She said two thirds of children rescued from trafficking in Britain went missing again after being found by the original gang.
"You would have a legal guardian for those children, so someone is responsible for them, see the whole of their case, make sure the care they got was expert, that it was far away from their abuser, understand that they are still at risk and still need protection," she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Chloe Setter from the children's rights charity ECPAT UK also said she feared the focus of the bill was too narrow.
"There appears to be very little in regards to victim protection for adults or children which is something that we believe is crucial and should be at the heart of any bill trying to tackle slavery and trafficking."
The bill will also include Trafficking Prevention Orders to restrict the activity and movement of convicted traffickers and stop them from committing further offences.
The bill - which the Home Office says will be the first of its kind in Europe - will only apply specifically to England and Wales but ministers said they wanted it to have the "broadest UK-wide effect".
A consultation will be held in Northern Ireland on the way forward while the UK and Scottish governments have agreed to work together while ensuring Scotland's "distinctive approach" to the issue is maintained.
Mohammad Akhlaq was beaten to death by a group of men in Dadri in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
Eighteen people are on trial for his murder.
The slaughter of cows, considered sacred by Hindus, is banned in many Indian states.
The court in Gautam Buddh Nagar, near the Indian capital, Delhi, gave the order after hearing a petition filed by one of Mr Akhlaq's neighbours.
Mohammad Danish, Mr Akhlaq's son, said he "hoped a fresh investigation will bring out the truth".
"I am hoping for a fair probe. The real facts will be revealed then," he told the CNN-IBN news channel.
A lab test cited widely in the aftermath of the killing in September had said that the meat allegedly found in his refrigerator was mutton and not beef.
However, a new lab report, revealed in June by the lawyers of 18 people on trial for his murder, said that the meat in question was, in fact, beef.
Later, it was also revealed that the meat was never in his house, but found inside a bin near his home.
Although police have said that the type of meat is irrelevant to the murder case, the defence team has been using the new test results to demand the release of the 18 suspects on the grounds that they were "provoked" into attacking Mr Akhlaq.
Uttar Pradesh is one of the 10 Indian states where the slaughter of cow, calf, bull and bullock is completely banned.
However, the slaughter of buffaloes and the sale and consumption of its meat is permitted.
Studying data from the Kepler telescope, the team, led by the University of Birmingham, found a star orbited by five planets similar in size to Earth.
The system, 117 light-years away, is the oldest known of its kind, formed 11.2 billion years ago.
Dr Tiago Campante said it could provide a clue to "the existence of ancient life in the galaxy".
"By the time the Earth formed, the planets in this system were already older than our planet is today," he said.
"This discovery may now help to pinpoint the beginning of what we might call the era of planet formation."
The work is published in the Astrophysical Journal.
Researchers said the star, named Kepler-444, and its planets were two and a half times older than earth and dated back to the "dawn of the galaxy".
Planets ranging in size from Mercury to Venus orbit the star within the equivalent of 10 of our days.
While the proximity of the planets to the star ruled out the possibility of life, Dr Campante said the discovery showed planets of an Earth-like size, capable of supporting life, could exist around a similarly ancient star.
"There may be civilisations out there with a head-start of a few billion years. Imagine the level of technology," he said.
Nasa's Kepler mission has so far found hundreds of new worlds since it launched in 2009.
Scientists have studied the occasional dips in light as planets pass in front of their host stars.
Scientists studied the natural resonance of Kepler-444, caused by the sound trapped within it, allowing them to measure its diameter, mass and age.
Dr David Gregory-Kumar, BBC Midlands Today
Planet-hunting is one of the most exciting areas of astronomy. What was once thought of as science fiction is now a reality.
But what makes today's discovery by the University of Birmingham so interesting is that the astronomers have found ancient planets that are similar to those in our own Solar System.
It means Earth-like planets have been around for much of the 13.8-billion-year history of the Universe.
This expands what we know about the early formation of planets and could even have implications for the potential for ancient alien life in our galaxy.
Meanwhile a new generation of planet-hunting telescopes, including one led by the University of Warwick, are just coming online.
Some 33 bodies have been identified, including victims from Finland, Korea and Guatemala.
Crews suspended body-recovery work for several hours due to fears that a damaged wall could collapse.
It is thought 50-100 people were in the venue, known as the Ghost Ship, when the fire broke out late on Friday.
Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley said on Monday that her office has has not yet determined whether a crime occurred.
But she said charges could range from murder to involuntary manslaughter.
US President Barack Obama paid tribute, saying: "Oakland is one of the most diverse and creative cities in our country, and as families and residents pull together in the wake of this awful tragedy, they will have the unwavering support of the American people."
Officials believe they have located the section of the building where the fire was started, but its cause is not yet known.
About 70% of the building has been searched already, Oakland Police tweeted on Monday morning, but investigators had not been able to access the site since late Sunday night.
The city of Oakland has been disclosing the identities of those killed, though withheld the name of the youngest, a 17-year-old.

Most of the victims were located in the centre of the warehouse structure, police said.
"We have 36 families not only grieving for their lost ones, but also they want to have answers. And we as a city collectively are working to find those answers," said Oakland police's Johnna Watson.
The blaze caused the roof to collapse on to the second floor, part of which then fell through to the ground floor.
The opening of a criminal investigation allows authorities to preserve evidence and see if there was any criminal responsibility, whether through arson or negligence.
The building was used to house artists in improvised studios but several reports say people were illegally living there too.
Neighbours had complained to the city about rubbish piling up on the street outside, and about the illegal tenants.
"That place was just a death trap,'' former resident Shelley Mack told the Associated Press. "I didn't think it was going to last this long before it went up or somebody shut it down.''
Families of loved ones were asked to gather things like toothbrushes and combs to aid with DNA identification.
Media in Oakland named Derick Ion Almena as the co-operator of the collective with his partner, Micah Allison.
A Facebook post by him lamenting the loss of his belongings but saying he was "blessed that my children and Micah were at a hotel safe and sound" drew a barrage of criticism online.

Dermot McDonnell said he believes 23 of his flock are buried underneath and with more rain forecast he is worried tonnes of rock and soil could slip further onto the public road and property below.
Helen Jones reports.
By the end of November, the stock of eurozone government bonds that carried negative yields had risen to more than €1.9 trillion (£1.36tn; $2.05tn).
The bond prices are so high that investors will not get their money back on maturity, and the interest rates are not high enough to make up for it.
The BIS blames the European Central Bank's recent comments.
It said that other major government bond markets, including Japan and the UK, had not gone down this path.
Some economists believe quantitative easing (QE) by the European Central Bank (ECB), a programme by which it purchases bonds in secondary markets, has triggered the move by so many euro area bonds into negative territory.
The BIS said in its latest quarterly review that speeches by ECB officials from late October onwards were interpreted "as signals for an expansion in monetary accommodation in early December" and that subsequently "yields continued to fall".
In early December, ECB chairman Mario Draghi did in fact extend the bank's monthly €60bn stimulus programme by six months to March 2017.
He said the QE programme was working, but that an extension was needed to tackle prolonged low inflation.
The analysis by UKactive, which represents the leisure industry, found 13 of the 15 local authorities where people were the most inactive were in the most deprived parts of the country.
Between 35% and 40% of adults in these areas are classed as inactive - that is exercising less than 30 minutes a week.
That compares with a figure of 28% nationally.
Where inactivity levels were at their highest, early deaths also peaked, according to the analysis based on the Active People Survey, which is commissioned by Sport England.
In the 15 most inactive local authorities, there was an average of 342 premature deaths per 100,000 people per year, compared with 242 in those where people exercised the most. The only areas in the 15 most inactive not to be in the most deprived areas of England were Slough and Dudley.
The report urged councils, which took on responsibility for public health last year, to use more of their budgets to promote physical activity.
Data obtained from 85 out of 129 councils under the Freedom of Information Act showed they spent just 2% of their public health budgets on physical activity promotion and investment.
This was in "stark contrast" to the 38% spent on sexual health and 12% on alcohol misuse, the report said.
Researchers also found that the most inactive local authorities have, on average, a third fewer leisure facilities than the least inactive areas.
Cutting physical inactivity by just 1% a year over a five-year period would save the UK economy just under £1.2bn in health and economic gains, the report said.
Fred Turok, chairman of Ukactive, said: "It's no longer acceptable that physical inactivity remains the forgotten cause of death in the UK.
"More deprived areas are faring worse in a physical inactivity pandemic - with no national strategy to improve our fitness levels."
Lord Sebastian Coe, who is backing the report, said: "There is no doubt that the issue requires immediate national attention and urgent action."
But Prof Kevin Fenton, of Public Health England, said his organisation and local government were "committed" to increasing physical activity levels.
"Physical activity is undertaken across communities in a range of ways, from walking and cycling, through fitness, leisure and play to structured amateur and elite sport.
"We need to embrace and support this diversity through cross-sector collaboration and action to embed physical activity within daily life," he added.
Eliza Adamson-Hopper wrote to Durham Chief Constable Mike Barton asking why the force only used dogs.
Now the force has created a cartoon cat based on Eliza's pet Mittens.
Mittens will front the force's Mini Police programme, a youth club which gives children a behind-the-scenes look at Durham Police.
Mr Barton said: "We thought Eliza's idea to have a police cat was a great idea.
"We wanted to recognise Eliza's fantastic suggestion, so what better way than to transform her own cat into our mascot?"
Eliza said: "I love the cartoon of Mittens, I think it's great that Mittens is now famous."
Her mother, Cheryl Adamson, said she was "blown away" by Durham Police's response.
She said: "I would never have dreamed in a million years that when Eliza wrote to the chief constable this would be the end result."
Eliza, from Burnopfield, was made an honorary member of the Mini Police and was given a special print of Mittens.
The mascot will be used as an educational tool in schools across County Durham.
Eliza's original letter read: "A police cat would be good as they have good ears and can listen out for danger.
"Cats are good at finding their way home and could show policemen the way.
"Cats are good at climbing trees and hunting and could rescue people that are stuck."
BBC Radio 4's You & Yours has spoken to people cold-called by Liverpool-based salesmen and persuaded to "unlock" their frozen pensions, with promises of cash upfront, and high returns.
But the BBC has heard support staff were encouraged to lie repeatedly to worried scheme members.
These sales companies are no longer trading, but former bosses deny wrongdoing.
More than five hundred people were persuaded to transfer more than £20m into the two schemes - Henley Retirement Benefit Scheme and Capita Oak.
Henley promised a tax free lump of 25% on the member's 55th birthday, while Capita Oak offered up to 15% cash upfront - regardless of age.
Both schemes promised a guaranteed return by investing the money in Lancashire storage company, Store First Ltd, part of Group First.
But many have struggled for months to receive payments, or get any details of where their pensions are and whether the promised return has been added.
The Liverpool-based sales companies - including Sanderson Clarke Ltd and Jackson Francis Ltd - have now ceased trading, leaving clients with no contact details.
In the case of Henley Retirement Benefit Scheme, BBC Radio 4's You and Yours has learned of at least 150 people who transferred more than £9 million.
Jane Parker from Kidderminster was first contacted by a sales agent in early 2012.
"I had a cold call from a company called Sanderson Clarke, a gentlemen called Dominic, about unlocking frozen pensions, and I agreed to look into it," she says.
"Once they looked into my pensions and said yes, they can be unlocked, they sent a chap called Ian round to have a chat with me.
"He said he was an independent financial adviser, but he only explained about this company called Group First, and that I'd get this 8% return.
"It sounded very good and very believable."
Jane says one of her frozen pensions - worth £30,000 - was transferred into the scheme.
"The letter from Henley Retirement Benefit Scheme looked very legitimate," Jane says, "with a registered number, with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs written on it."
She has since heard nothing from either Sanderson Clarke or Henley Retirement Benefit Scheme.
"I was getting concerned I hadn't heard anything so I tried to ring but nobody ever got back to me."
Eventually the line went dead, Jane says. Now she has no contact details at all.
"I have nothing, no paperwork whatsoever. This is my little pot of money for when I retire, so what I'd like to do is take all that money and put it into a legitimate scheme"
Steve Lomas, from Swinton in Greater Manchester, had a similar experience.
He was persuaded to transfer his £60,000 local authority frozen pension pot into the Henley scheme in the spring of 2013.
He was told he would receive a 25% tax free lump sum after his 55th birthday later that year.
Nothing happened. For a year he called and emailed Sanderson Clarke repeatedly - but they did not phone back.
He did eventually receive his lump sum, after the BBC made enquiries. He is still unsure where his remaining money is.
Graham Williams from Cardiff was persuaded by the Liverpool sales agents to transfer his £117,000 frozen pension into the Capita Oak scheme.
Unlike the Henley scheme members, he received 15% cash up front, almost immediately, although he was only 48, and payments before 55 are illegal.
He, too, has since heard nothing about where the rest of his pension is.
A former employee of the Liverpool sales companies told Shari Vahl from "You & Yours" that staff were frequently told to fob off pension members - many of whom became increasingly desperate.
"Basically I was getting told to lie to them," the employee said.
"It just got too much just listening to grown men crying, literally breaking down on the phone.
"It was not nice at all."
The former employee claims managers lied to clients "millions of times".
It was "things like, I'll follow up the call , I'll give you a call back, I'm writing it into my diary right now"
"They weren't writing anything into their diary, they didn't even have a diary."
The former boss of the sales companies, Stuart Chapman Clark, denies these allegations.
Another person who transferred their pension to Henley - Tony Helps - became so angry he chained himself to building of the Liverpool sales companies and contacted the media.
His gesture largely worked, and his pension was transferred out of the scheme minus £4,000 - which no-one can explain.
The BBC investigation has discovered a web of companies behind the schemes.
The deal to invest Henley Retirement Benefit Scheme money into Store First was brokered by Stuart Chapman Clark, who ran the Liverpool sales companies, and who has denied any wrong-doing.
The BBC did speak to the man who runs the storage company, Store First Ltd, Toby Whittaker.
He confirmed Stuart Chapman Clark came to him with a third of the £9m transferred into the Henley pension scheme, about £3.5m.
Mr Whittaker said that money was invested in Store First.
Mr Whittaker said he paid the guaranteed return - 16% - as promised, up front, on day one.
But he claims he paid it to a company based in Gibraltar, Transeuro Worldwide Holdings Ltd.
The BBC has tried and failed to make contact with that company.
Millions of pounds remain unaccounted for.
Experts say the case highlights the dangers of responding to cold calls, and allowing your pension to be invested in unregulated investments sold by unregulated advisers.
"Always, always check that the people you are dealing with are authorised by the regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority," says Tom McPhail, head of pensions research at Hargreaves Lansdown.
"If they aren't regulated don't deal with them however plausible they seem or enticing the deal they're offering.
"Don't deal with unregulated advisers and don't put your money into unregulated investments; remember, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is."

Staff across all services, including centrally employed teachers, are being offered voluntary redundancy by Calderdale Council.
The authority said it was facing "significant" financial challenges and has made £56m in savings since 2010.
Councillor Geraldine Carter said they wanted to "minimise the need for redundancies".
The council is made up of 25 Labour councillors, 19 Conservatives, six Liberal Democrats and one independent but is under Conservative minority control after Labour was ousted in a no confidence vote in July.
It had recommended that children have no screen time before the age of two.
But it now says children aged over 18 months can use video chat with family, and 18-month to five-year-olds can watch "high quality" programmes with parents.
However, it also says physical activity and face-to-face interaction should be prioritised.
It named programmes such as Sesame Street as examples of appropriate TV shows.
"Families should proactively think about their children's media use and talk with children about it, because too much media use can mean that children don't have enough time during the day to play, study, talk, or sleep," said Jenny Radesky, the lead author of the AAP report Media and Young Minds.
"What's most important is that parents be their child's 'media mentors'. That means teaching them how to use it as a tool to create, connect and learn."
The AAP has launched a tool to help families create a media plan to monitor screen use.
Two- to five-year-olds should be limited to one hour of screen time a day, and "media free times" should be created by carers, the guidelines add.
It also recommends installing "media free locations" in the home, such as bedrooms, for children including over-fives.
Dr Catherine Steiner-Adair, clinical psychologist and Harvard research associate, told the BBC that while she welcomed the new guidelines, they needed more explanation.
"There is a need for paediatricians to be very clear about what the content is, how much is to be co-viewed and what co-viewing is," she said.
"When you watch a video with a 24-month-old you want to be repeating the words over and over, pushing the pause button, the same way we do when we read to a child.
"Not two people sitting side-by-side watching in silence."
Dr Steiner-Adair also called for more research into the benefits of educational apps, describing them as an "unregulated" industry.
"I haven't seen who is developing the measures of learning for young children - what is actually going on?" she said.
"What we do know is the toddler brain lights up for learning language the most when they are being spoken to in real life, face-to-face, by a caring adult.
"I would like to see more of how they assess the actual learning that goes on between 18-24 months [via screens] and how they compare it to learning from being read to by an adult from a real book."
Mikhail Hardzeichuk scored the opener with a spectacular strike in the first half, while Maksim Valadzko drove home the second after the interval.
Burnley defender Stephen Ward pulled one back with a well-struck shot but the Republic were unable to force an equaliser.
It was only a second defeat in 14 games for Martin O'Neill's side
O'Neill suffered a setback before kick-off when Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter was ruled out of the Euro finals with a thigh problem sustained in training on Monday.
Arter had made a strong case for inclusion in the squad with a lively performance in the 1-1 draw with the Netherlands in Dublin on Friday night.
Robbie Keane missed the game because of a calf muscle injury, while James McCarthy, recovering from a thigh problem, also sat out the match.
Both were subsequently deemed fit enough to be included in the 23-man squad announced by O'Neill after the game.
The contest represented a final opportunity for players to force their way into the squad, with a number of tight calls anticipated.
Midfielder Darron Gibson and winger Aiden McGeady, both out of favour at Everton, were handed starting roles, along with versatile Hull City player David Meyler, in a team which showed 11 changes from the side that drew with the Dutch.
Gibson was not named in O'Neill's squad for the finals later in the evening, but Meyler impressed enough to ensure that he will travel to France.
The Irish open their Group E campaign against Sweden on Monday, 13 June.
Belgium will be their next opponents on 18 June, with their final group game against Italy on 22 June.
Having lost 3-0 to Northern Ireland in Belfast four days ago, Belarus belied the fact that they lie 46 places behind their opponents in the Fifa rankings by scoring their first goal in five games in the 20th minute.
Hardzeichuk unleashed a sweet long-range right-foot shot into the top corner for his fourth goal in his 12th international appearance.
The visitors, who failed to qualify for Euro 2016, looked the livelier side throughout the opening half and almost made the Republic pay further for their lack of urgency when Shay Given was forced into a fine save from Valadzko.
The hosts looked livelier after the interval as an unmarked Daryl Murphy headed over from McGeady's right-wing cross and Ciaran Clark went close with another header.
Clark saw a further headed effort palmed away by Syarhey Chernik, with the Belarusian goalkeeper then denying Jeff Hendrick from the rebound.
Valadzko turned inside Cyrus Christie to fire home a right-foot shot on 63 minutes, before Ward's left-foot drive for his third international goal in the 72nd reduced the deficit.
The Baggies turned down four bids from Tottenham for the 22-year-old striker, including two on 1 September.
He went on Twitter to indicate he would never play for Albion again but he came on against Southampton on Saturday.
"The lads have given him some stick. Sometimes it's the best way because it takes away the tension," Fletcher said.
"When somebody comes in and there is a little bit of banter, I'm sure he feels like one of the lads again."
Scotland midfielder Fletcher, who is not on Twitter, said: "It's about emotions really.
"You can do silly things and when you're on Twitter it allows you to voice your opinions. If he had sat quietly for 48 hours he wouldn't have done it."
Acclaimed bass player Kyle Eastwood and his band will play at the Gardyne Theatre on the opening night of the five-day event.
Organisers said the audience should expect "slick modern jazz, blending swing, bop, and soulful funk".
The festival runs from 18-22 November with gigs at a variety of venues in the city.
Other performers during the week include the Red Stripe Band, Ian Siegal and the East Coast of Scotland young jazz musicians.
Mr Eastwood is a double and electric bass player who has had a 17-year career in the music industry.
The festival said he had released seven critically acclaimed albums and was also a composer and arranger.
He has worked on several of his father's films, including Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino and Letters From Iwo Jima.
Rose became the first English winner of the US Open for 43 years in 2013.
The 36-year-old could have doubled his major tally at the Masters in April but lost out in a play-off to Ryder Cup team-mate Sergio Garcia.
"I've played very well at weekends in majors since 2010 and maybe just need to position myself better," he said.
"Then see where we go from there. Hopefully we can get our head around the course.
"Attitude starts earlier on venues that some guys grumble about. Even at Merion in 2013, people weren't delighted with it.
"It's a different type of golf course and the USGA obviously aren't scared to go to different venues, so you've got to accept it and play.
"That's what pulled through for me in 2013; I remember being incredibly patient all week and also not buying into the score.
"I set my strategy up by how I saw the course but I never pressed because and ultimately that's what paid off for me, that patience."
Since his US Open victory, Rose has recorded five top-10 finishes in major championships, three of them coming in a remarkable season in 2015.
The Englishman shot 14 under par in both the Masters and the US PGA, but won neither.
And in this year's Masters, Rose was two shots clear with five to play at Augusta before Spain's Garcia triumphed in the play-off to take his first major title.
"I can only say from the Olympics and the Masters, that was the calmest I've felt on a golf course in recent times," Rose added.
"When I need it the most I can get into that mindset - it's almost a survival mechanism for me. I know I can't afford to get frustrated and lose my head.
"The big situation forces me to stay a little bit more patient because I know how important it is. I have more incentive to be my best in those big events."
The deserted Wiltshire village of Imber was cleared during World War Two and later taken over by the military.
Vintage Routemaster buses have been used to take passengers to the village, for one day each year, since 2009.
The area is normally closed to civilians as it sits in the middle of a Ministry of Defence training zone.
Villagers were given a few weeks' notice to pack their bags and leave before the community was abandoned in December 1943.
It was needed by the army to provide an exercise area for US troops preparing to invade Europe.
In the 1970s, several empty houses were built for use by UK soldiers taking part in training exercises.
St Giles Church, the only original building left intact, was also opened to visitors for the weekend.
Taylor scored 154 off 97 balls in a thrilling 24-run win over Somerset to help Notts progress to the last four.
The former Zimbabwe captain told BBC Radio Nottingham: "We want to field first before the beers kick in.
"But whatever we do we will have to do it very, very well. If we are not on it 110% we can be found out for sure."
Notts last won the trophy in its previous format as a 40-over competition in 2013, beating Glamorgan by 87 runs in the final at Lord's.
The 21-year-old victim suffered leg, arm and head injuries when he was hit in Guildford by the van driven by Raymond Harms.
Harms pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm, damaging property and dangerous driving at an earlier Guildford Crown Court hearing.
He was jailed for a total of six years and four months.
Harms, of Yew Tree Drive, Guildford, was also banned from driving for eight years and two months.
Two other men from Guildford were also sentenced for their involvement in the attack in Bowers Farm Drive, Burpham on 12 May.
Ian Vase, 29, of Pond Meadow, who pleaded guilty to affray, was jailed for six months.
Shaun Ritson, 31, of Lime Grove, who admitted threatening behaviour, was given a 12-month community order including 120 hours' unpaid work.
The charges also related to incidents that took place in Lawrence Close the same evening.
Mr Cuomo led a delegation of business executives from New York state to the island where he held talks with the Cuban minister for external trade.
He said that the isolation of Cuba had not worked.
Relations between the US and Cuba have improved since the announcement in December that the two countries would work towards restoring diplomatic ties.
US President Barack Obama and his Cuban counterpart, Raul Castro, met earlier this month at a regional summit in Panama.
Days after the meeting, President Obama recommended that Cuba should be removed from the list of states the US government considers to be sponsors of terrorism.
A number of US officials and politicians have visited the Communist-run island since the thaw in relations was announced on 17 December, but Mr Cuomo is the first state governor to do so.
He travelled with a delegation of New York-based companies which he said he hoped would become some of the first to operate in Cuba.
Mr Cuomo also said engagement and full relationships were the best way "to have a dialogue on the issues that we agree with and the issues that we disagree about".
The BBC's Will Grant in Havana says US politicians are keen to be seen in a country that was until very recently off-limits and to show their support for the move to normalise ties.
Just 8.3 seconds after San Marino kicked off their World Cup qualifier with England on 17 November 1993, Stuart Pearce's under-hit backpass allowed Gualtieri to nip in and prod the minnows into the most unlikely of leads.
"I will never forget that moment," Gualtieri told BBC Sport. "I had dreamt about it but I never thought it would happen. It was so hard for us to score against anybody, let alone a team as big as England."
"The stage is set for England's last and decisive match in this World Cup qualifying group. England in red, San Marino in blue, England needing to win by a seven-goal margin and hope that Poland can do them a favour in Poznan against Holland. [Whistle sounds to start game.] I'm sure you're aware now what's at stake. And Nicola Bacciocchi the number nine picks the ball up straight away and San Marino launch the first attack, oh and a mistake by Stuart Pearce and San Marino have scored. I don't believe this."
When I spoke to him this week, Taylor could not remember the name of the player who inflicted on him the final ignominy of his time as national manager, but he did not need reminding that the goal remains the fastest scored in a World Cup match - qualifiers or finals.
With for the first meeting between the two nations since, I felt slightly guilty asking Taylor to relive some of the agony it involved - although it clearly hurt him a lot more at the time.
Taylor told me: "When the ball went into the net, I looked up towards the sky and just said quietly to myself 'god, please tell me what I have done wrong'.
"I can laugh about it now because that is a true story. Normally I would accept responsibility for every result, and every goal but, I mean, we were eight seconds into the game. I knew we would go on and win but you think to yourself 'what the hell is happening here?'
"His name hasn't stuck in my memory but I can picture the goal as I'm talking to you now. I can see Stuart and David Seaman and the San Marino player slipping in and putting it into the net. I can see it happening, but I still can't stop it!
"Good luck to the guy, though. I wish him well."
England went on to win 7-1 in what was Taylor's last game in charge, with Ian Wright scoring four goals. But it was a hollow victory.
To reach USA '94, England had been left needing to win their final game of a calamitous campaign by seven goals and hope Poland beat the Netherlands. The score at half-time in Poznan was 1-1 but Dennis Bergkamp put the Dutch ahead before the hour mark and Ronald de Boer's late goal extinguished all hope.
Back in Bologna's Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, where San Marino played their home games, England were by now well on their way to a one-sided victory but the mood was bleak.
"Nearly everyone in the ground was following what was going on in Holland's match," Taylor added. "In fact, it was difficult to stop people telling you what was happening.
"So there wasn't any enjoyment to be had from our game. We had beaten San Marino 6-0 at Wembley so we put 13 goals past them in total but we had still only done what people expected and, of course, we knew the Dutch had won too so we were out no matter how many we scored.
"It was a very hard trip and one of the worst aspects of it was that we flew back to Luton Airport and had to fight our way through the press and photographers.
"We had no security and no-one to meet us and we had to get our luggage and fight our way to our cars on our own. You wouldn't have that now - it's a completely different world.
"I was pushing against the photographers who were deliberately getting in the way of the trolley in the hope I would stop, but I kept pushing. I think I caught a few shins that day but, to tell you the truth, I was quite happy to because cameras were being shoved pretty much into my face."
Taylor resigned six days later. Things were turning out rather more happily for Gualtieri, meanwhile, who got Pearce's shirt as a souvenir at the final whistle but did not speak to any of the England players because "they were all a bit angry".
Gualtieri did not find out his goal was a world record until journalists told him after the game, and he did not realise he had made the front page of several British newspapers until he was sent a copy of the Daily Mirror, with the headline "End of the world" and his picture on it.
England team: David Seaman; Lee Dixon, Gary Pallister, Des Walker, Stuart Pearce; Stuart Ripley, Paul Ince, David Platt, Andy Sinton; Ian Wright, Les Ferdinand.
England scorers: Ince (21 mins), Wright (34), Ferdinand (38), Wright (46), Ince (63), Wright (78), Wright (90).
He has had plenty of attention since then, too, including more than 270,000 views of his goal on YouTube. Gualtieri, who also owns a video of the game, last watched it about six months ago but he is expecting it to get plenty more viewings this week.
Now 41 and a computer salesman in San Marino with a lot less hair than he had in 1993, he does not speak any English but, with his wife Caterina translating, I asked him how he became aware of what turned out to be an enduring fame - and a particular popularity with Scotland supporters.
Tales that Scottish fans paid for his drinks on a night out when they came over for a European Championship qualifier against San Marino a couple of years later turned out to be an invention, but Gualtieri's brother did benefit from some Caledonian hospitality.
"Over here, nobody really knew what was going on but in England there was a big fuss," Gualtieri explained.
"Even now, some fans from around the world are always coming into my shop with pictures of me and shirts for me to sign.
"And, when my brother went to Scotland on holiday, they found out who he was and bought him drinks and a meal too. But that was my brother, not me."
When I ask him which player he used to compare himself to, Gualtieri describes himself with a laugh as "a poor man's Roberto Baggio". But, despite only ever being a part-time player, he is a full-time member of footballing folklore, and will stay that way even if his record is eventually broken.
Vice-Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai said the prize was highly politicised and "a challenge to China's judicial system".
Diplomats in Oslo said China's embassy had sent letters implicitly warning them not to attend the prize-giving.
Liu was jailed in December for subversion after calling for sweeping political reform in China.
China angrily condemned the decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to the dissident. It has said the award was tantamount to "encouraging crime".
"The choice before some European countries and others is clear and simple: do they want to be part of the political game to challenge China's judicial system or do they want to develop a true friendly relationship with the Chinese government and people?" Cui Tiankai said.
"What image do they want to leave for ordinary Chinese people? So, in my view, they are facing such a choice. They have to make the choice according to their own judgement," Mr Cui said.
"If they make the wrong choice, they have to bear the consequences."
A commentary published in Friday in the People's Daily, the Communist
Party's flagship newspaper, described the prize as a Western political tool used to attack a rising China.
The newspaper said the Nobel Prize has become wrapped up in ideology since the end of the Cold War and had become "a tool for Western countries to impose peaceful evolution on powers which do not meet their standards".
Ambassadors in the city normally attend the ceremony, to be held on 10 December in Oslo City Hall.
"We have received a letter which explains the Chinese position and which asks us not to do anything which could destabilise China," Olof Huldtgren, the deputy head of mission at the Swedish embassy in Oslo, told AFP.
Mr Huldtgren said the letter did not explicitly warn against attending the ceremony, but that "the message is clear".
A spokesman for the Foreign Office in London acknowledged the Chinese "have raised the issue with us". But the spokesman stressed: "It is the normal practice of the British ambassador to Norway to attend the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. The ambassador intends to attend this year."
The Dutch foreign ministry said it had "taken note of China's concerns", but had told Beijing that the ambassador would be attending.
It is not known who will pick up Mr Liu's Nobel prize on his behalf. | The Home Office's annual statistics show a 6% drop in animal experiments in the UK - but the office has changed the way it collects these figures.

Jamie Hodson, 35, from Wigan, was fatally injured in Northern Ireland's Dundrod 150 race at the Joey's Windmill section of the course on 10 August.
The road racer won the Supertwins MGP race in 2016, which is held on the Isle of Man TT course.
A service will be held in Douglas at 14:00 BST and another in Wigan.
A spokesman for St Ninian's Church said the Isle of Man service is being held with the "kind permission of the Hodson family" and will be conducted by Rev John Coldwell.
A "celebration of Jamie's life" will also be held in his home town of Wigan, he said.
Hodson's brother Rob was also involved in the same crash but was not seriously hurt.

Witnesses saw the HGV driven by Ian Boyes plough into the back of a tractor pulling a trailer on the A7 near Galashiels.
Huw Jenkins, 54, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown through the rear window of the tractor.
The railway worker died on 1 May 2014.
Selkirk Sheriff Court heard that Mr Boyes was involved in a minor collision in Glasgow with a car while driving the Hawick Plant Auction lorry earlier that afternoon.
Another witness told how she followed the lorry in a queue of traffic when it suddenly stopped in front of the lay-by near the entrance Torwoodlee Golf Course in Galashiels.
She said she assumed it was to let the tractor in front turn into the lay-by but after five or six seconds the lorry moved off again.
The witness said she could see the tractor had gone about 70m ahead but the lorry built up some speed and simply ran into the back of it, causing the fatal collision.
Mr Boyes' medical history was examined in detail and the inquiry was told he passed a medical test in January 2014
He died in August at his home at Newmill-on-Teviot, near Hawick, after suffering a narrowing of the coronary arteries.
The inquiry also heard it was not possible to tell whether Mr Boyes had a black-out and lost consciousness, or a coronary condition led to him losing control.
Police witnesses said that, after the crash, Mr Boyes was confused and had no idea what had happened.
Depute fiscal Fiona Caldwell said officers referred Mr Boyes to hospital for treatment in the immediate aftermath of the accident.
She added: "On balance a medical episode may have been the cause of the accident.
"I am not making any recommendations for further reasonable precautions. However the medical evidence is not conclusive."
Sheriff Michael Wood said he would deliver his determination into the death of Mr Jenkins, of Tonmawr, south Wales, at a future date.
A defensive mistake was punished by Nelson in the 10th minute as Craig Fulton's side took the lead.
After Neal Glassey almost doubled Ireland's advantage, the hosts produced strong pressure either side of half-time in Johannesburg.
However, O'Donoghue's 47th-minute goal deflated the South Africans.

After their impressive start to the tournament, the Irish men face Belgium next on Tuesday at 17:00 BST.
Ireland will qualify for the 2018 World Cup if they finish in the top five in the 10-team tournament.
They will also play Egypt and Germany in Group B.
The Irish go into the tournament as the fifth highest ranked side, indicating that a World Cup qualification spot is very much in reach.
Ireland squad: David Harte (GK), Jamie Carr (GK), John Jackson, Jonathan Bell, Matthew Bell, Chris Cargo, Matthew Nelson, Alan Sothern, Eugene Magee, Neal Glassey, Shane O Donoghue, Sean Murray, John McKee, Paul Gleghorne, Jeremy Duncan, Conor Harte, Stuart Loughrey, Stephen Cole.
Technology used to train the elite military to stay calm as they pull the trigger has been adopted by an Olympic gold medal-winning Team GB athlete, while several clubs in English football's top flight have bought a brain-training device normally used to help improve the peripheral vision of marksmen in battle.
Scanning the brains of Navy Seals has also revealed the power of meditation in developing the mental muscle of both combatants and athletes, and a new piece of naval-funded research could help solve the mystery of unfulfilled talent in sport in the years ahead.
The battle for marginal gains has never been as fierce.
For the past six years, sports psychologist and applied sports scientist Dr John Sullivan has assisted America's elite military and law enforcement to optimise the performance of the brain through advanced training to gain an advantage over the enemy.
One aspect of Sullivan's approach is aimed at helping a soldier to track several targets at the same time.
"It's the same on the pitch; we're processing multiple pieces of information at once," Sullivan told BBC Sport.
"Where is the ball going to end up? Where are my team-mates? Where is the opponent? Where am I going to play the ball? This is what Lionel Messi does incredibly well - he has a quicker processing speed than everyone else. But we can train it."
Sullivan, who has also worked for an unnamed NFL team for the past 15 years and as a consultant with the Football Association and several Premier League football clubs and Premiership rugby union sides, uses a tool called Neurotracker to enhance this skill with soldiers and athletes.
The training system requires the user to sit in front of a screen while wearing a pair of black 3D glasses and track four balls among a moving pack of eight for 30 seconds. The speed is then adjusted dependant on the individual's score, with a typical training session lasting eight minutes and performed a minimum of twice a week.
Manchester United bought the software towards the end of Sir Alex Ferguson's time in charge of the club, where Park Ji-sung recorded the single highest score, although Paul Scholes was consistently the best performer on the device. Southampton have also used Neurotracker as part of a wider assessment to evaluate the mental skills of their players.
Much of Sullivan's work with the US Special Forces involves training snipers to stay calm after each round of fire. The techniques he uses have helped Team GB skeleton star Lizzy Yarnold to keep her nerves in check, and assess the temperament of some of Chelsea's biggest names.
"We start by teaching them to train their mind, because their mind is their biggest weapon," Sullivan added.
"Sensors are attached to a sniper's head to read brain activity in a training situation using live fire. The signals are then compared to the ideal patterns required during combat - a level of arousal that ensures an individual is alert without becoming anxious - with specific sounds indicating when a sniper is in this mental state."
In 2009, Frank Lampard, John Terry and the rest of Chelsea's first-team squad underwent a similar procedure inside a laboratory called the Mind Room at the club's training ground.
Each player took part in a number of tests, including solving a mathematical problem under time restrictions, to measure how they performed under stress, with the results detecting greater nervousness in youngsters compared to senior players.
With the military, Sullivan attaches sensors to a sniper's body to measure the length of time between each heart beat in real time. Stressful situations can result in erratic changes but can be controlled through a technique called tactical breathing.
"I teach snipers to drop their heart rate in two breaths," said Sullivan. "The recoil on a weapon hits back. If you're on that system for an hour, you'll be hit multiple times. It's just like taking a hit in rugby or American football, so the operator has to recover after every shot and drop their heart rate to conserve energy to improve decision making."
In the build-up to the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014, Yarnold integrated the same approach into her training regime. "I wanted complete control of my nerves and how my heart responded under pressure so we used it multiple times every training session," she told BBC Sport.
"In skeleton you have to be really aggressive like a sprinter to get your speed up. You need a high heart rate, but then you have to become a completely different person who thinks very carefully and makes quick decisions.
"My heart rate is about 140 beats per minute during the race, but I've learnt to control it even as I'm sprinting which allows me to think very clearly in stressful situations." Yarnold won gold in Sochi before becoming world and European champion.
A key member of Yarnold's support team is sports psychologist Charlie Unwin. He served as a platoon commander in the Royal Horse Artillery in Iraq before becoming a Team GB pentathlete and now uses his experiences to help performers operate under pressure.
"One thing the Army do really well is teach you about mental rehearsal," he said. "They don't call it that - they call it priming - but you're constantly encouraged to play out possible scenarios in your head.
"The problem-solving doesn't necessarily happen in the moment - it happens in training because you have no idea when a roadside bomb might go off or what resources you'll have available."
Unwin passed on those lessons of war to Yarnold. "Visualisation was very powerful," she said. "You do a certain amount of practice runs, but I do hundreds of runs in my head prior to competing. It's true that when the mind leads the body follows."
Former England rugby union coach Sir Clive Woodward prepared his players for the 2003 World Cup by creating a 'war room' - a term borrowed from the military for a command centre where battles are planned.
The squad were gathered inside the dressing room with a map laid out detailing possible positions of both sets of players. A clock displayed how much time had elapsed in the fictional game, with the scoreboard also set to replicate a possible scoreline.
Woodward then selected a player at random to stand up and say exactly what they would do in that situation and what they would expect from their team-mates. The process was repeated multiple times a week over several years to ensure the players thought and solved problems quickly in the same way under pressure. England won the tournament with a dramatic 20-17 victory over Australia in the final.
The US Special Forces are continuing to invest in identifying and improving areas of the brain that are vital for performance - and their findings have already made an impact on sport.
In 2009, the professor of psychiatry at the University of San Diego in California, Dr Martin Paulus, and his team began a piece of naval-funded research which involved scanning the brains of Navy Seals, elite adventure racers and normal civilians during a restricted breathing test.
Each participant lay down inside a brain scanner before being told their breathing would be interfered with through masks they were wearing. They were only told this between eight and 12 seconds before the interference.
Paulus said: "With the Seals and racers, there was a lot of activity in the area of the brain which is important for resilience and is essentially the link between the brain and the body.
"During and after the test, there was a lot less activity. They were able to anticipate the danger very well and then return to normal quickly. This is an elite response to difficult conditions."
However, a number of civilian participants panicked and had to be removed from the scanner. It prompted Paulus to question whether this part of the brain could be trained like other muscles in the body.
To test this, he prescribed a course of meditation - 20-minute sessions twice a week for 12 weeks - to trainee Royal Marines, who were also subjected to the same breathing test as the Navy Seals.
Paulus added: "We scanned their brains before and after the training and found they modified in the direction we'd seen with the Seals."
Paulus was contacted by the coach of the USA's Olympic BMX team, James Herrera, who wanted to see if meditation could have the same effect on his riders. After winning three medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, they won none at 2012, which Herrera thought might be attributed to a psychological issue.
"We did some scanning before and after the mindfulness training and the changes to their brains were pretty profound," said Paulus. Weeks afterwards, members of the team finished first, second and third at the 2014 USA Cycling Elite BMX National Championships - an annual competition contested by the nation's top 20 riders.
Paulus' vision for the future is an exciting one: "We want to use brain scanning to predict someone's future performance within the military and sport and we're beginning research and setting up experiments around that.
"We hope to be able to scan the brains of athletes and see how their brains react under various conditions and then follow them up to see how their performances relate back to what we see in the scanner.
"There are examples of brilliant junior athletes who don't do well as professionals. We want to solve that mystery."
The findings came from a study of 52,600 people in the US, exploring the "orgasm gap" between the genders and different sexual orientations.
The report in Archives of Sexual Behaviour revealed a "variety of behaviours couples can try to increase orgasm frequency".
These include oral sex and manual stimulation.
The study, by Indiana University, Chapman University and Claremont Graduate University, showed the proportion of people who usually orgasmed was:
The research team said: "The findings, however, indicate that this orgasm gap can be reduced.
"The fact that lesbian women orgasmed more often than heterosexual women indicates that many heterosexual women could experience higher rates of orgasm."
Few heterosexual women climaxed through penetrative sex alone, the report said.
The study showed that "of particular importance was incorporating oral sex along with other activities during a sexual encounter".
There was a clear pattern between more oral sex and more orgasms in heterosexual women, lesbian women, bisexual women, gay men and bisexual men.
Only in straight men was no link detected.
Other behaviours linked to greater orgasms in women were:
The report authors said there were both social and evolutionary ideas around why men and women have different rates of orgasm.
For example a stigma against women expressing sexual desire hampering sexual discovery and a belief in some men that most women orgasm from penetrative sex.
And from an evolutionary perspective they suggested the male and female orgasms served different purposes which could also have an effect.
This male orgasm is all about ejaculation to ensure reproduction while in women it "facilitates bonding with a long-term romantic partner", the report said.
The BBC news website looks at the debate in Finland, where the difference between opinions is clearly defined, even within the government.
Last week, Finland's government said it was willing to double the number of refugees it was willing to accept this year, up to 30,000 from 15,000.
Only 3,600 applications were made last year - and so far this year, most applications were from Iraq and Somalia.
Some may even find themselves living with Prime Minister Juha Sipila, who said on Saturday that he was willing to give up one of his houses to migrants.
Mr Sipila has said he feels Finland, a country of 5.5m people, should set an example to the rest of Europe on migration.
But his coalition partners are the anti-immigration Finns Party, who came second in April's election.
Last month, Jussi Halla-aho, a Finns Party MEP, said some members of society were not integrating well enough, adding there was a risk "the society begins to play by the rules of the Muslim minority rather than expecting the minority to play by the rules of the society".
In July, Olli Immonen, one of the party's MPs, wrote of what he called "this nightmare called multiculturalism" on his Facebook page, adding: "We will fight until the end for our homeland and one true Finnish nation."
While the online responses to his comments were finely balanced between those who were for and against immigration, government colleagues were not supportive.
Finance Minister Alexander Stubb tweeted: "Multiculturalism is an asset. That's all I have to say." Mr Sipila wrote on Twitter that he wanted "to develop Finland as an open, linguistically and culturally international country".
Finns Party chief Timo Soini, who is Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, wrote on his blog last week that Christian and Yazidi minorities could be given priority as refugees.
But he came under heavy criticism and, in what Finnish newspapers noted was a significant swing, he changed course in an interview on Monday.
Concerns among right-wing politicians about the possible Islamisation of Finland, where 78% of the population belongs to the Lutheran Church, are reflected by sections of the public.
In August, before the new talks on migrant quotas, most Finns quoted in a survey said they would rather live next to an alcohol rehabilitation centre than a mosque, though no major polls have been conducted on people's opinions since then.
On 2 September, the head of the Finnish Lutheran Church, Archbishop Kari Makinen, urged members to take in refugees.
Soon after, 196 people resigned from the Church in one day, compared to 80 people on a typical day.
"As the Finnish Church wants to help house IS fighters in Finland, I do not accept it," one person wrote on a website through which members can resign.
"The Church no longer defends Christian values, ​​they support Islam's entry into Finland. Shame on you fools," wrote another.
Among the most common concerns held by Finns, the state broadcaster says, is that:
These are concerns, it says, that are generally unfounded but widely shared.
Many anti-immigration bloggers concentrate on the financial burden of accepting more refugees. Finland's economy has slumped in recent years, having been in recession for three consecutive years.
In one protest against a new refugee centre last week, one demonstrator said: "Everything has been taken from the unemployed, the poor and the sick. But the coffers are empty.
"If these centres open, our taxes will go up."
On social media, there are many tales to be found, true or not, of attacks by immigrants. They are often widely shared, but we could not find confirmation of the attacks in Finnish media.
In one Facebook post written on 6 September, a man in western Finland detailed an alleged assault on two 12-year-old girls, purportedly by immigrants.
"These people are paperless asylum seekers whose backgrounds nobody in authority knows," the post said.
The post went on to be shared by more than 2,000 people and attracted many replies criticising immigrants.
Vitriolic comments are increasingly common. Last week, two large media groups closed comments on their websites because of what state broadcaster Yle called "a flood of hate speech and weak quality discussion".
"Particularly within the past year, the debate has become very sharp and aggressive, even including hate speech," Yle editorial director Atte Jaaskelainen said.
Marches in favour of multiculturalism have taken place in Finnish cities, with one - organised after Olli Immonen's comments in July - drew several thousand people in Helsinki.
In Finland's mainly neutral press, immigration is now rarely off the front pages. Articles concentrate largely on the plight of migrants and the work being done to help them.
Online, the voices speaking on behalf of immigration in Finland are more in evidence than those against.
On 12 September, a picnic to welcome migrants will be held in the capital, and has attracted more than 4,300 supporters on Facebook.
Meanwhile, another Facebook page named Ennenolin Pakolainen (I was a refugee before) has drawn more than 17,000 likes and compiles the stories of people who were refugees and what they are now doing in Finland - among them a trainee pilot, a nurse and a model.
Elsewhere, the Twitter account @TorillaOnTilaa brings together messages welcoming migrants - including many by Finnish national football team players.
"We are all equal," Fortuna Dusseldorf player Joel Pohjanpalo wrote.
Rice, 27, was handed an indefinite ban in September when a video emerged of him punching his fiancee in the face.
The player was released by the Baltimore Ravens, but he is now allowed to play should he sign for a new team.
The appeal, heard on 5 November but announced on Friday, had to decide if the NFL overstepped its authority.
American football's governing body had modified Rice's two-game suspension, making it indefinite after the video of the incident went public.
Rice has been eligible to sign for a new team since his ban was put in place, but he had not yet accepted a contract.
Rice and his wife Janay - who married after the incident - testified at the hearing, as did NFL security chief Jeffrey Miller and Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome.
In her decision, US district judge Barbara S Jones wrote: "Because Rice did not mislead the commissioner and because there were no new facts on which the commissioner could base his increased suspension, I find that the imposition of the indefinite suspension was arbitrary.
"I therefore vacate the second penalty imposed on Rice.
"The provisions of the first discipline - those regarding making continued use of counselling and other professional services, having no further involvement with law enforcement, and not committing any additional violations of league policies -still stand."
The NFL is yet to comment.
Earlier in November the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars Shahid Khan told the BBC the NFL "has to play a leadership role" when it comes to the issue of domestic abuse.
He said the burka did not fit in with Germany's open society and showing the face was essential to social cohesion.
"We call on everyone to show their face," he said.
The proposal would prevent anyone from wearing the veil in schools, universities, nurseries, public offices or while driving.
It requires parliamentary approval to become law.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's governing coalition has been divided over the issue after several attacks in Germany claimed by so-called Islamic State (IS) and amid record numbers of Muslim asylum seekers.
"We reject the full veil - not just the burka but the other forms of full veil where only the eyes are visible," said Mr de Maiziere.
"It doesn't fit in with our open society. Showing the face is a constituent element for our communication, the way we live, our social cohesion. That is why we call on everyone to show their face."
He added: "Whoever wants to work in public service cannot do so while wearing the full veil."
There are no official statistics on the number of women wearing the burka in Germany but Aiman Mazyek, leader of its Central Council of Muslims, has said hardly any women wear it, Reuters news agency reports.
A study carried out by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees in 2009, and reported by Spiegel magazine, found that more than two-thirds of Muslim women in Germany did not even wear a headscarf.

The attack in Tunnmeade, Harlow, in March is being treated as attempted murder by Essex police.
Officers earlier executed search warrants at four separate properties in various parts of Harlow.
Two men, aged 31 and 28, and a woman, 31, all from the town, have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and aggravated burglary.
The father and son were left seriously injured. The three people arrested are currently being interviewed at Harlow police station.
The 37-year-old had been available since his sacking by the Magpies in March, when the club were one place above the League One relegation zone.
Former Crystal Palace and QPR midfielder Derry replaces Richard Money at a side currently 18th in the fourth tier and has signed a deal until 2018.
As a player, he made a total of 652 career appearances for eight clubs.
"I suppose a lot of my career has been following my instinct and it was absolutely right," he told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
"This club is starting to develop and developing rapidly. The potential here has got legs, the community is huge in Cambridge, and it's something we want to take advantage of.
"There are certain football clubs at this level that have got that ability to go higher and this is one of them."
Derry's only previous managerial experience came at Notts County, the club he supported as a boy and at which he made his professional debut.
He helped them escape relegation from League One in 2013-14, but he was dismissed after a run of just three wins in 24 league matches.
Derry's appointment follows the departure of 60-year-old Money, who had led Cambridge out of non-league in 2014 and to the fourth round of the FA Cup last season, where they took Manchester United to a replay.
"I'd like to go on record by saying I felt Richard has done a fantastic job for this football club, there's some good players left behind for me," said Derry.
"Is it a gamble? Some would say so. Do I feel I'm taking a gamble? No, not really, I'm really confident going forward. I want fans to look at the job I'd done, especially in the early part, of Notts County.
"I think it would be wrong of me to explain the depths of the details of why things went from one extreme to the other at Notts County. I know what I can do as a manager and what the staff can do as a group of people."
"Shaun Derry represents a change in philosophy for the U's. They've exchanged the experience of Richard Money for youth and potential.
"Inevitably some fans will see Derry's appointment as a gamble, but he appears to have accrued plenty of goodwill during his relatively brief spell with Notts County.
"Money was given the boot because the U's board no longer believed he could deliver a top-seven finish come May. For Derry, therefore, the task seems clear."
Daredevil Anthony Martin was pushed out of a plane in handcuffs, chained to the inside of a locked yellow box.
He escaped from his shackles whilst plummeting to Earth at 130mph. The 47-year-old thrill-seeker then deployed his parachute to glide safely back to the ground.
Anthony said: "I didn't feel any force, but what I felt was lot a of jostling."
Everyone involved in the stunt landed safely - but don't try it at home!
Organiser Joshua Virasami said black people should come together "to achieve justice and equality in Britain".
The movement has grown over the past three years in protest at police killings of black people in America.
Small-scale protests have been held near Heathrow and in Nottingham on Friday, resulting in some arrests.
Protesters purporting to be part of the Black Lives Matter movement obstructed traffic en route to Heathrow Airport, meanwhile in Nottingham some protesters have laid down on tracks in the city centre causing delays to the tram network.
The Met Police said they had attended the scene at Heathrow, and 10 people had been arrested. The aviation policing team later tweeted that the last cones were being removed from the M4 spur road, and that the road "should be completely open shortly". Heathrow Airport has apologised for any delays.
Newsbeat: Why has Black Lives Matter come to the UK?
Black Lives Matter activist Adam Elliott-Cooper, 29, from London, said the Heathrow location was appropriate as "many people are either being killed at our borders or being sent back to certain death".
He made reference to Angolan deportee Jimmy Mubenga, who suffered a fatal heart attack after being restrained on a flight, in October 2010. Three G4S guards were found not guilty of manslaughter in 2014, having denied acting dangerously or negligently during the incident.
The protests come the day after the fifth anniversary of the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan by police in north London, sparking riots which spread to several English cities.
In 2014, an inquest jury concluded that Mr Duggan had been lawfully killed by police, but his family won the right to appeal in October 2015.
Last month hundreds of people marched through central London to the Houses of Parliament in protest at the shooting of two black men by police in the US.
Mr Virasami said: "We need black people all over the world to come together, groups and individuals, to build this movement to achieve justice and equality in Britain and all over the world.
"We're asking the government to take responsibility, not just to investigate the statistics but to hear the demands of the communities."
Dr Tony Sewell, from the Youth Justice Board, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that in England and Wales 21% of young men under 18 in custody were black - though black people only made up 4% of the general population.
Conversely, he said, 60% of men under 18 in custody were white, when that racial group made up 82% of the population.
"That is a scandal, that's what we should really be looking at," he said.
Kadija Sesay - who is the cousin of Sheku Bayoh, 31, who died after being arrested and restrained in Kirkcaldy in May 2015 - said more needed to be done.
"People need to realise that this happens in the UK all of the time, in state institutions - it happens," she told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.
Toyin Agbetu, who is a British-African social rights activist, told the programme that since the Brexit vote there had been "increased racism" within the UK, and said the problem was "more hidden" compared with the US.
He added that the UK's Black Lives Matter movement was saying "treat us with dignity", and he described deaths after police restraints as a "normalised form of terrorism" that black people faced.
Activist Marcia Rigg said: "It's absolutely vital that there is a platform for the families in the UK and BLM [Black Lives Matter] is perfect for that."
Her brother Sean Rigg, who suffered from schizophrenia, died at Brixton police station in 2008.
An IPCC investigation identified no police misconduct but in 2012 an inquest jury found that police had used "unsuitable" force after arresting Mr Rigg.
Five police officers could face criminal charges following the death of Mr Rigg while in police custody.
"Families like mine have been suffering for a long time and there has been an injustice," Ms Rigg said.
"Deaths are not just happening in the US at the hands of police; they are happening in the UK too, and so therefore it's the perfect platform to highlight those deaths in Britain because people are not aware of them."
Cdr Mak Chishty, National Police Chiefs' Council lead for Race and Religion, told the BBC: "I know that cases like Sean Rigg are infrequent and few and far between, but that doesn't mean they're any less important to us.
"Cases like that are extremely important - we want to learn, we want to improve and we want to give confidence back to the whole of our communities."
In recent weeks in the US, two white officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, killed a black man during an incident and an officer in Minnesota shot and killed a black motorist during a traffic stop, sparking protests.
The 35-year-old striker was injured in last week's Europa League quarter-final second-leg win over Anderlecht.
United boss Mourinho revealed that Ibrahimovic, whose contract expires this summer, will undergo "big" surgery followed by a long period of recovery.
"Now, before such important surgery, it is a waste of time to speak about what next," said Mourinho.
When pressed about the Swede's future, Mourinho replied: "I don't know, I don't want to know, I am not interested in it.
"I just want the difficult surgery to go, for him to recover from the injury and prepare for the next step.
"I think the next step will be something that he really wants, which is what I was saying before the injury in the period of doubt about his future."
Following his injury, Ibrahimovic posted a message on Instagram that read: "I will be out of football for a while. I will go through this like everything else and come back even stronger.
"So far I played with one leg so it shouldn't be any problem. One thing is for sure, I decide when it's time to stop and nothing else. Giving up is not an option."
Speaking before Thursday's Manchester derby, Mourinho added: "It looks to me as though he is not going to give up and is going to fight. I am very pleased. This is the Zlatan I know - he has fought all his life.
"The future is big surgery and long recovery but the future is also in the hands of a very strong guy - mentally very, very strong."
A skull and rose, and a crown and sword are just some of the pictures that will be on £2 coins to represent Shakespeare's work.
To mark 150 years since the birth of Beatrix Potter, a 50p coin has been designed with Peter Rabbit on.
The latest portrait of the Queen also appears on all seven new coins.
The Royal Mint, who make all of the UK's money, say the new coins are meant to give a snapshot of Britain over the past 1,000 years.

The incident, which took place at Ducketts crossing near Pudsey, Leeds, saw a cyclist ignoring warning lights and narrowly avoiding a passing train.
Over the past year and a half, 18 similar incidents have been recorded at the same crossing.
Network Rail said ignoring railway safety procedures can have "life-changing consequences".
Ahmad, currently the head of Madagascar's FA, had already outlined his intention to challenge long-standing Caf ruler Issa Hayatou in March's elections in Ethiopia.
Cosafa announced their backing for Ahmad following a meeting of FA Presidents in Johannesburg on Saturday.
In a statement, Cosafa also announced they would only support sitting FA presidents vying for Caf or Fifa elections.
"This was our first meeting since the new executive was voted into office and we are happy with the resolutions taken by the Council which I think will change the face of the region," said Cosafa President, Dr Phillip Chiyangwa.
Issa Hayatou, who has presided over African football since 1988, is seeking an eighth term.
The Cameroonian was re-elected unopposed during the last Caf presidential elections in 2013.
He had previously stated this term would be his last until a change of regulations altered his stance.
In 2015, Caf voted to change the statutes which previously stopped officials serving past the age of 70.
Party conferences are a great opportunity to test the platform rhetoric against any delivery plans.
Yesterday, Nick Clegg told the Lib Dems that plans for further devolution to Wales could be revealed within months - on the same timetable as Scottish "home rule".
He said: "I'm very keen that [Wales Office Minister Baroness] Jenny [Randerson], and I know Jenny is doing this already, should work within government, so that on the same timetable as the government publishes draft articles - draft legislative articles - on the devolution of powers to Scotland around the beginning of next year - I hope - Jenny's looking rather alarmed by this - but I hope we can seek to do the same for Wales."
So today I asked Lady Randerson to expand on the deputy prime minister's statement.
She told me: "Well he means that we understand that Wales needs to have urgent attention to its devolution settlement and it shouldn't be allowed to lag behind Scotland, it shouldn't in any way be conditional on progress on Scotland - that Wales deserves its own limelight.
"Well we've got a very good foundation there - the Silk Two report has already been produced. We've had some time to think about it. We are getting to work on those bits of the second Silk report that don't need legislation, that can be done quite quickly, and we hope to be able to get an announcement on that in the next few months."
Those parts of the report that don't require legislation are said to be those that relate to the mechanics of intergovernmental changes.
Lady Randerson added: "But I think that the really important thing is that we start to draft some legislation, maybe on the reserved powers model of the legislation that's now being recommended for Wales, and we look at that and we get ready with that so that day one - after the next election - we're ready to go.
"We'll be drafting legislation, I hope we can agree on some aspects of the legislation that we can draft by the beginning part of next year."
Nick Clegg gave the impression it was a UK government initiative - so are the Conservatives onside with these Lib Dem plans?
"Well it's my job as a Liberal Democrat - remember Nick Clegg makes his announcement to a Liberal Democrat conference - and it is my job as a Liberal Democrat to persuade my colleagues in the Wales Office and across government that we need to make rapid progress. But I think it is important to take note that it's already clear that there is support within the Wales Office for the reserved powers model."
There may be cross-party consensus on the need for a reserved powers model but there is no agreement on which powers should be reserved to Westminster and which devolved. That could limit progress by the Lib Dems' deadline, although any draft clauses will, of course, just be draft as there won't be time to legislate before next year's general election.
In other news, the prime minister appears to have ruled out giving the Welsh government extra funding from Westminster.
Activist monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the pull-back in Syria's second city came after days of heavy fighting.
State media confirmed the military had taken over the whole of the old city.
Government forces now control about 75% of eastern Aleppo, held by the rebels for the past four years.
The rebels, who had been left with just a spit of land north-east of the citadel after recent government advances, abandoned it by Wednesday morning, retreating to territory they still hold further south.
In a separate development, Syrian state news agency Sana reported that several Israeli missiles struck the Mazzeh military air base outside the capital Damascus overnight, causing a fire but no casualties.
The SOHR said remaining rebel-held areas in the south-east of the city came under heavy artillery fire overnight.
At least 15 people were killed in government bombardments on Tuesday, it added.
Tens of thousands of civilians are still trapped in the last of the rebel-held districts.
The BBC's Lyse Doucet in Aleppo says officials there are preparing for another exodus, as families try to flee under fire in an extremely dire situation.
A statement by the rebel Aleppo Leadership Council said civilians were in great danger, and it would support any initiative to ease their suffering.
"Civilians should be either protected or evacuated to a safe area where they will not be under the mercy of [Syrian President Bashar al-]Assad and his henchmen," it said.
It proposed:
Food supplies are exhausted in eastern Aleppo and there are no functioning hospitals after months of heavy bombardment.
However, the Syrian government has ruled out any further truces in Aleppo, and Russia and China on Monday vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on a week-long ceasefire.
French President Francois Hollande responded to the veto by accusing Russia of "systematic obstruction" which "bolsters the regime of Bashar al-Assad in its destructive drive which is harming the defenceless civilian population".
In a conference call on Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described all the remaining rebels in eastern Aleppo as "terrorists," saying that they had united around the jihadist group formerly known as al-Nusra Front.
Meanwhile the Russian defence ministry reported that a Russian military adviser in Syria had been killed by rebel artillery fire.
Col Ruslan Galitsky died of his wounds several days after the attack, on a residential area of government-held western Aleppo, it said.
Gwent Police was called to an address in Clarence Place, on Tuesday at about 19:50 GMT.
A 36-year-old man later died from his injuries at the Royal Gwent Hospital and has been named as Rhys Jones from Newport.
Magistrates in the city remanded a 28-year-old man in custody to appear at Newport Crown Court on 30 November.
The bird was first spotted in Earlham Road in Norwich on 17 June and reported to Kevin Murphy, who runs the voluntary Norfolk Wildlife Rescue.
He has tried to coax it from a tree using birdcalls to save it from being attacked, but it ended up on a rooftop.
The peahen escaped again and he is now awaiting more sightings.
More news on the loose in Norfolk
Mr Murphy said he was contacted by a member of the public who saw the bird on Hingham street "with youths attacking it with metal poles".
"By the time I got there the youths and bird had gone," he added.
The bird has been spotted wandering around a water company site and even popped in to an office, but has always disappeared by the time Mr Murphy arrives.
Mr Murphy began chasing the peahen, which is a female peafowl and mates with the more flamboyant peacock, after seeing reports of sightings on social media.
"I don't know for sure where it has escaped from, but I do know that walking around the streets of Norwich isn't the best place for it," he added.
Mr Murphy has been involved in helping to rescue animals, including foxes, badgers, otters, seals and stoats, for about 20 years.
The OBR has cut its estimate of tax income from the North Sea between 2020 and 2041 by a quarter, to £40bn.
The fall is down to lower production forecasts over the next few years.
But its assessment was dismissed as "stuff and nonsense" by Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond.
The Scottish government has argued that the OBR figures are based on a "very low estimate of future total production", which resulted in them being more pessimistic than other estimates, including those produced by industry body Oil and Gas UK.
The OBR was created by George Osborne in 2010 in one of his first acts as chancellor to provide independent economic forecasts and analysis of the UK's public finances.
Its latest fiscal sustainability report predicted that UK government debt will peak in 2015-16, a year earlier than expected, at 78.7% of GDP.
This is 6.9 percentage points lower than previously forecast.
The latest figures also showed total debt at £1.273bn, or 76.1% of GDP. This is the equivalent of £48,200 per household.
The OBR warned that governments will have to raise taxes or implement further spending cuts in the coming decades, mainly because, as life expectancy grows, the cost of health, social care and the state pension will increase.
Lower revenue from taxes on North Sea oil producers will exacerbate the problem, along with falling income from road taxes as cars become more efficient, it added.
OBR chairman Robert Chote said the body was now forecasting revenues of £61.6bn from the North Sea between 2013/14 and 2040/41 - down from £82.2 billion.
If production levels are low, oil and gas receipts could be only £40bn for the period 2018/19 to 2040/41, he said.
But with higher production levels and oil prices, these could be as high as £81.5bn, Mr Chote added.
In May, the Scottish government lowered its own estimates of the country's oil and gas tax revenues over the next five years, although its figures were still higher than those of the OBR.
The Scottish government's figures put the likely total between £2.9bn and £7.8bn in 2016/17, which could be the first full year of independence under its timetable.
Last year, it estimated the sum would be between £4.2bn and £10.7bn for the same period.
And its central prediction suggested that the country could benefit from £34.3bn of North Sea oil and gas and revenues over the next five years - equal to almost £7bn a year.
Speaking to BBC Scotland, the first minister delivered a scathing response to the OBR assessment, describing it as "stuff and nonsense".
Asked about the potential impact of the OBR report on the Scottish independence debate, Mr Salmond said: "The OBR are suggesting 10 billion barrels of oil and gas remaining. Oil and Gas UK say up to 24 billion barrels. Sir Ian Wood, who did the report just last year, says up to 24 billion barrels.
"The Professor of Geology at Aberdeen University says it is more like over 30 billion barrels.
"Now, all of these people know infinitely more about the extent of the reserves remaining in the North Sea than the Office of Budget Responsibility in London does. I think they should start talking to the experts."
But a spokesman for the UK Treasury said it was becoming "harder and more expensive" to extract North Sea oil and gas, which he said was reflected in the OBR's decision to downgrade expected tax receipts.
The spokesman added: "The broad and diverse UK tax base means we are able to support the oil and gas industry, for example through targeted tax reliefs for oil and gas fields that are technically or commercially challenging.
"A separate Scotland would be more reliant on income from the North Sea so is unlikely to be able to provide the same level of support, which comes at a cost in the short-term, and would therefore miss out on the long-term economic potential it has to offer."
But it plans to open 60 new outlets under its Screwfix brand.
"Kingfisher has said for some time that B&Q UK & Ireland can adequately meet local customer needs from fewer stores and that some of the store should be smaller," it said in a statement.
Kingfisher also announced a 15.2% fall in pre-tax profit to £644m for 2014.
And in a separate announcement, it said that Kevin O'Byrne, chief executive for B&Q UK & Ireland, would leave the firm on 15 May 2015 "allowing a smooth handover of his responsibilities" with further details to be announced "in due course".
The store closures, which will result in a £350m one-off cost, mark Veronique Laury's first major move as chief executive. The former Castorama boss took over from Sir Ian Cheshire as chief executive last September.
The firm, which currently has 360 B&Q stores, has so far confirmed the locations of six store closures: Southampton, Dundee, Baums Lane in Mansfield, Station Road in Stechford in Birmingham, Hyde in Greater Manchester, and Barnsley.
But it said the impact on jobs from the B&Q store closure plan is expected to broadly neutral due to the planned Screwfix openings and plans to redeploy staff to other parts of the business.
Ms Laury said it was "clear" the firm needed to organise itself "very differently to unlock our potential", and described the move as part of a set of "first sharp decisions" she was taking.
She said the group could achieve "significant benefits" from unifying the group, noting that "customers needs are already largely the same" with the markets it serves "fundamentally more similar than different".
B&Q said top executives' roles would now be more focused on the entire company, it would cut the number of products it sold, as well as unify its IT platform across the group.
Other plans include making the most of its vacant store space and it said it was in discussions with several retailers about sub-letting opportunities.
"We are getting on with this at real pace," it added.
The announcement comes a day after the group, which also owns Castorama and Brico Depot in France, walked away from its planned €275m purchase of French DIY chain Mr Bricolage after one of the latter's shareholders opposed the deal.
The firm's performance in France continued to be weak, with sales down 6.6% for the year, which it blamed on "an ongoing soft market", driven by weak consumer confidence and a declining housing and construction market.
But in the UK and Ireland, sales rose 5.4%, which it said reflected a stronger UK economy and more buoyant housing construction.

On the morning of 13 February, Raymond Koh was exiting a highway in the leafy suburb of Kelana Jaya just outside of the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur.
A widely circulated CCTV clip appears to show what happened next. A convoy of black SUVs and motorcycles is seen swooping down on his car and boxing it in by the side of the road.
Then, several men jump out and run to Mr Koh. There is a flurry of activity, and the convoy moves off - along with his car. It is allegedly the last time anyone sees him.
At first, it appeared to be an isolated case of a possible kidnapping.
But as the weeks wore on, more reports of missing Malaysians began to surface.
Many now believe these incidents are connected in what some call an "unprecedented" spate of disappearances, which has mystified the country and raised fears of religious vigilantism.
Mr Koh's apparent abduction - an episode that takes place in just under a minute - took place in broad daylight and was witnessed by other drivers who later lodged police reports. Police are investigating the clip.
"The operation was very well planned. They knew who he was, where he was going, and probably had been tracking him," Mr Koh's son Jonathan tells the BBC.
"It was very professionally executed."
Abductions are not unheard of in Malaysia, but kidnappers usually make contact quickly with victims' families for a ransom.
Two months on, however, Mr Koh's family has not heard a single word from him or his alleged abductors.
They believe it is no ordinary kidnapping, and that "religious elements" took the pastor in an act of "vigilantism or terrorism".
Mr Koh runs a non-government organisation called Harapan Komuniti (Hope Community) in Kuala Lumpur, which helps the poor, single mothers, and drug addicts.
"He's passionate, he loves people, he loves God," says the younger Mr Koh.
In 2011, Raymond Koh's organisation was investigated by Malaysia's Islamic authorities.
His group was accused of attempting to convert Muslims when they hosted a party with Muslim attendees at a church. Apostasy is an offence in Muslim-majority Malaysia.
The allegations were later dropped. But he remained a target of online rumours and even received two bullets in the post shortly afterwards, his family claims.
Such accusations have resurfaced with Mr Koh's disappearance.
Last week, it emerged that several people had lodged a police report against Mr Koh, alleging that he tried to convert Muslim youths to Christianity in January.
"He would never ask anyone to leave Islam," says his son, Jonathan Koh.
"His alleged proselytism is not an excuse for kidnapping. If he did anything wrong, he should have the right as any citizen to trial."
Malaysian police have given few updates, other than they were pursuing three angles: that Mr Koh had "personal issues", extremist groups were involved, or that he was kidnapped for ransom.
They did not respond to the BBC's request for comment.
Amid the media blitz over Mr Koh's disappearance and the video clip, stories about other missing Malaysians began to emerge.
All of these cases were recent disappearances and many remain unexplained.
Peter Chong: Social activist and former city councillor who disappeared last weekend near Kuala Lumpur. Police have since said he was seen crossing the border into Thailand.
Joshua and Ruth Hilmy: Pastor and his wife who were last seen near Kuala Lumpur in November.
Amri Che Mat: Muslim social activist allegedly snatched from his car in November, in the northern state of Perlis. His wife has denied allegations that he was spreading Shia Islam, which is banned by religious authorities.
There is no evidence these are in any way linked but in the absence of concrete information, many have come up with their own theories - including that the authorities may have had a hand in all this.
The "unprecedented mysterious" vanishings has led to "public perception and speculation... of forced disappearances", says the Malaysian Bar, using a term which usually refers to state-sponsored abductions.
"It is shocking and outrageous that a growing number of Malaysians could inexplicably disappear and not be found for days, weeks and months."
The police has not taken kindly to such rumours. Last month, the country's top police officer told citizens to "please shut up", and on Wednesday he told reporters there "was no connection".
Others have taken up the Kohs' theory and believe religious vigilante groups may be responsible.
Malaysian Muslims practise a moderate version of Sunni Islam, but in recent years the country has seen the rise of vocal Islamist groups.
Authorities have arrested dozens of suspected extremists, and last year the country saw its first attack by the so-called Islamic State.
Against this backdrop, the disappearances have unnerved many. The Malaysian Bar also says they raised "alarming doubts" about the country's security.
Mr Koh's disappearance in particular has sent a "worrying signal" to Christians, says Hermen Shastri, general secretary of the Council of Churches of Malaysia.
"It's a question on our minds, and some churches are worried it may be a trend... where those involved in activities related to the poor [are targeted by] vigilante groups," he tells the BBC.
Meanwhile, the families of the missing Malaysians can only hope and wait.
The Kohs have offered a reward for information, made repeated public appeals, and held vigils. Last week, senior Christian leaders and various heads of churches held a prayer service for Raymond Koh.
"We have been very stressed, it's been very frustrating," says Jonathan Koh.
"But we are working on leads. I still think he's alive."
The birds were observed bending twigs into hooks to extract food hidden in wooden logs.
Previously this skill had been seen in captive birds kept in laboratories.
The study, published in the journal Open Science, suggests that this talent is part of the birds' natural behaviour.
In 2002, a captive New Caledonian crow - called Betty - astonished scientists.
Researchers at the University of Oxford presented her with an out-of-reach bucket of food.
To retrieve it, she bent a piece of wire into a hook - the first time such tool-making skills had been seen in the animal world.
Betty died in 2005, but over the years, the experiment was successfully repeated with other captive birds - including rooks, which have not been seen to use tools in the wild.
Lead author Dr Christian Rutz, from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, said: "It seemed as if this was something that the birds spontaneously invented in the lab."
While it has long been known that wild New Caledonian crows use twigs to extract grubs from wooden logs, the researchers say there is now enough evidence to confirm that they also bend them into hooks just like their captive counterparts.
In a series of experiments, the researchers captured crows from the tropical forests of New Caledonia, and placed them for short periods of time in make-shift aviaries.
Dr Rutz said: "This means we can test them under highly controlled experimental conditions - but the kind of experiments we do there, they don't look at how smart these animals are, they ask what sort of tool behaviour they express naturally."
The crows were presented with a wooden log, which had some tasty snacks tucked into holes in the surface.
"The only other thing we provided in the aviary was the plant material, which we knew they naturally used for tool-making in the wild," explained Dr Rutz.
"So the task was very simple, we asked our subjects to make tools, then use these tools to extract the hidden food."
The crows did not need to fashion hooks to retrieve the treats, but 10 of the 18 wild-caught birds did so.
The researchers observed them snapping thin branches off of the shrubs, holding the twigs down with a foot, then bending the end into a hook - just as Betty had done with the wire.
During further field research, the scientists also saw the birds manufacturing hook-shaped contraptions outside of the aviaries - confirming that this was part of the crows' natural behaviour.
The researchers say they believe that the New Caledonian crows are fashioning twigs into hooks to improve the performance of the tools.
"We think the bending helps with the tool ergonomics," said Dr Rutz.
"It helps them to position their tools in their bill, and centre the tip of the tool - the functional end they insert into holes and crevices - to centre that in their field of binocular vision."
He said the finding that wild New Caledonian crows had this ability shouldn't detract from Betty's original performance.
"But", he added, "it raises the possibility that she just expressed natural behaviour rather than assessing the task and then coming up with a clever solution."
The researchers now want to find out how tool-use comes about - to see if it is innate or learned as younger birds watch the older generation. The team also want to know whether other species of birds use tools to see whether this behaviour is rare or widespread.
Prof Alex Kacelnik, from the University of Oxford, who carried out the original experiments with Betty, told BBC News: "I'm delighted to see that the findings made one and a half decades ago in the lab are now corroborated by work in the field."
"It would be surprising if an ability displayed by captive animals were not within the range of what wild animals can do."
He added that Betty used a number of different methods to bend wires into hooks, and could also unbend them when required - behaviour not yet seen in the wild.
"We never claimed that Betty was a freak with exceptional intelligence, and as they correctly say, this is evidence neither for or against an exceptional cognitive capacity in the animals."
Also commenting on the research, Dr Nathan Emery, from Queen Mary University of London and author of Bird Brain: An exploration of avian intelligence, said it was an interesting study but added that Betty still deserved some credit.
"Despite the fact that New Caledonian crows naturally bend pliable yet strong material into hooks, there still remains the significant finding that Betty solved a novel problem using an innovative solution with a novel material," he said.
"I think it wouldn't be wise (or fair) to completely dismiss Betty's ability to solve a novel problem using a novel material, even if the means of making a hook were part of her biology."

The company exported 279,000 packets to the country in 2013 - up from 46,000 in the previous year.
The Canadian market now makes up about 40% of Mackie's export sales turnover.
The figures were announced as Commonwealth Games Secretary Shona Robison visited a store in Toronto which stocks the Perthshire firm's products.
Ms Robison has been in the country as the Queen's Baton Relay continues its journey through Canada.
Ms Robison said: "This is another terrific example of a Scottish firm making a big impact on the international stage, and it's great to see Scottish brands on supermarket shelves abroad.
"Mackie's have been working extremely hard to gain a foothold in Canada and this has resulted in tremendous sales figures - a six-fold increase in one year is remarkable."
Ronnie Wilson, commercial director for Mackie's Crisps, said: "The response to our crisps in Canada has been tremendous, and our Scottish provenance has proven to be a key selling point in this market.
"Following the introduction of our dedicated Canadian packaging at the beginning of this year, which is bilingual and features a prominent saltire flag, we now have scope to broaden our distribution into mass grocery channels.
"Furthermore, we are about to launch 13 new lines into the Canadian market - in addition to the nine lines we already supply there."
Mackie's Crisps was founded in 2009 as a joint venture between Aberdeenshire-based Mackie's of Scotland and Perthshire potato company Taypack.
Fans threw bottles onto the field after the home side were all out for 92 in game two of a three-match series.
The match was halted for periods of 20 and 25 minutes during the South Africa reply, and English match referee Chris Broad ordered organisers to improve security before it could resume.
The touring side reached their victory target in 17.1 overs.
Seamer Albie Morkel was the pick of the South Africa bowlers, taking 3-12 as only four India players reached double figures.
In reply, JP Duminy hit 30 not out as South Africa reached 96-4 to take an unassailable 2-0 lead.
Norman Martin, 93, and Islwyn Morgan, 89, joined Treorchy Male Voice Choir in 1947 - and are still going strong.
The pair, who are both vice presidents of the choir, have attended more than 6,500 rehearsals and notched up over 2,000 concerts.
Choir chairman David Bebb said their achievement was "staggering".
"Surely, they must be the longest serving male voice choir members in the world today," he said.
"Their contribution to the choir knows no bounds and we look to them frequently for advice and support when decision-making takes place."
One of 10 children, Mr Morgan was the son of a well-known Treorchy choir conductor, and followed his brothers into the choir when it reformed after World War Two in 1947.
"The Treorchy Male Choir has played such a massive part in my life that I cannot imagine being without it," said the former officer for the old Rhondda District Council.
The chorister, who performs in the ranks of the first tenors, added: "I've made lifelong friends, met some wonderful people and travelled the world - things I would never have done had I not been part of the choir."
Choir colleague Mr Martin also joined up in the same year, after hearing the sound of singing as he walked past a rehearsal at a local school.
He spent 25 years working in the coal industry after becoming a collier at the Park Colliery when he left school at age 14.
Determined to better himself, he studied at night school to gain engineering qualifications, and was eventually appointed as a lecturer at Rhondda College, where he spent the next 27 years until his retirement.
Along with Mr Morgan, the two have performed alongside the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Burt Bacharach, Katherine Jenkins and Julie Andrews, as well as guest appearances on the Royal Variety Show and for the Prince of Monaco.
"To think that one moment you're being introduced to the Queen and the next you're singing in the Sydney Opera House or visiting the White House. It is absolutely unbelievable," added second tenor Mr Martin. | A fatal road accident in the Borders was probably caused by a "medical episode" experienced by a 75-year-old lorry driver, a fatal accident inquiry has heard.

Hales surpassed Robin Smith's 23-year record as England amassed the highest ever ODI total and claimed a series victory in their 169-run win.
The 27-year-old, who averaged 18 in the preceding four-Test series and had a top score of 14 in the ODIs, said: "The last six weeks have been tough, so to perform like that is pleasing."
The right-hander, playing on his home ground at Trent Bridge, added: "When I got past 150 it came into the back of my mind but I was only aware when the guy announced it.
"It was only when I hit the boundary and the cheering started that the penny finally dropped."

It was a record-breaking game for England, as wicketkeeper Jos Buttler struck the quickest half-century by an England player from just 22 balls.
England hit 59 boundaries - the most conceded in an ODI - after a poor fielding display by Pakistan.
"We missed chances, especially getting wickets with no balls and dropping catches, which didn't help," Pakistan captain Azhar Ali said.
"There were always runs on that pitch and we leaked too many. It was hard to take the control back."
Hales' innings showed how far England's one-day cricket has come since their disappointing 2015 World Cup campaign, when they were eliminated in the group stage.
"That's the most exciting thing for us; that we're still improving," added Notts opener Hales.
"To get the world record is a credit to the work we've put in and what we're hoping to achieve."
Ex-England spinner Graeme Swann on Test Match Special: "I've got to take my hat off to Alex Hales - he played the world's worst one-day innings by an opener at Lord's three days ago, but he came out and played an incredible knock here. He rode his luck, but by the end his ball-striking was phenomenal."
Ex-England seamer Isa Guha on Test Match Special: "Someone who can absorb that pressure and come out and play the way Hales did belongs on the international stage. And let's not forget the role Joe Root played."
England captain Eoin Morgan: "Alex Hales' innings today was monumental. He has needed runs this summer and today they have all come at once. International cricket is about managing lower times as well as higher times. He fully deserves all the recognition."
They show 90 people who left care in England between 2012 and 2016 died in the years when they would have turned 19, 20 or 21.
Care leavers make up 1% of the population at these ages, but make up around 7% of the deaths.
The government says it is investing £10m in support for those leaving care.
While an exact comparison is difficult, the official figures, showing people who left care between 2012 and 2016, indicate they are roughly seven times more likely to die when they are aged from 18 to 21 than other young people of a similar age.
An inability to access physical and mental healthcare has been cited by care leavers as key contributory factors.
One young man described being "palmed off with pills" when he tried to get mental health support.
Colin Raggett, 27, explained how, after leaving care, he became reliant on drugs.
"After care I was all alone, I was in a lot of debt, and I was constantly going out trying to make money, committing crimes to fund my drug habit."
He made several suicide attempts and during his last attempt, it was a chance intervention that saved his life.
"It came to the stage when I was stood on a train track one day. And I was spotted by my mental health worker, who completely by chance was also at the station, waiting to get on another train."
His mental health worker raised the alarm to save him.
"The police were there, the fire brigade, ambulances, they closed the line off... It was the road to nowhere. And they were like 'He's got to go in for some psychiatric care.'"
When Colin had reached out for help in the past, he felt it was not forthcoming.
"They were putting me on one drug to try and get me off the drugs I was already on. They tried to put me on Ritalin, and I then got addicted to that.
"I felt they were just trying to palm me off. They just said you will be fine. Just take this pill, just take that pill."
It was the lack of a holistic approach to care leavers that posed the biggest problem for Colin. He resolved this by making contact with The Prince's Trust, a charity that works with vulnerable young people.
These figures from the Department for Education could be an underestimate - as investigations into untimely deaths might not identify that someone was formerly in social care.
"Coroners will not be provided with the care status of a young person whose untimely death they are investigating," says Alice Frank, manager of the National Leaving Care Benchmarking Forum at social enterprise Catch 22.
"Those care leavers who die while out of contact with their councils will not be reported to those councils, and the young person's care status will not be recorded in their death certificate."
Around 500 care leavers are recorded as refusing contact with their local authorities, according to Department for Education statistics.
One care worker, speaking anonymously, explained what this meant in practice.
"We had dealt with the case of one young man, who despite having a history of depression, seemed to be on track at the age of 21.
"As was correct, his case was closed, and we ceased contact with him. However, unfortunately, his life went downhill after that.
"He turned to drink and drugs, and did not receive proper mental health care. He committed suicide at the age of 23.
"We found out that he had died, by complete chance. We recognised his picture in the local paper when it ran a story announcing his death. It was quite a shock."
Keeping a routine after years of disruption can be difficult for care leavers. An inability to manage their own affairs often leaves these young people vulnerable.
Another young man who had a fortunate escape was Daniel Lee-Grabowski.
Daniel, now 24 and a student at the University of the Arts London, found it difficult to stay healthy and organised after leaving the care of Surrey Council.
"Reality hits you quite harshly when you turn 18. You are not really prepared to move out into the real world in the right way.
"When I moved out into my own flat, I was left with bills and I didn't know basic things like that you had to pay to watch television. I couldn't even use a washing machine.
"These are things you just don't get told. If you have a family they would be able to show you what compartment to put the powder in. But I didn't have any of that."
Daniel was kept on on track by an apprenticeship with Surrey Council, which he says gave him a purpose, an income and the support of his colleagues.
A spokesman for the Department for Education said: "We are committed to improving the lives of care leavers and giving them the support they need as they make their way into adulthood.
"That's why we are investing nearly £10m over the next four years in improving mental health support for looked-after young people in secure children's homes, and are changing the law so local authorities have to promote the physical and mental health of children in care."
Councillor Richard Watts, chair of the Local Government Association's children and young people board, said: "It is disappointing that this report treats care leavers as a homogenous group, taking no account of factors such as their individual life experiences, their age at coming into care or the amount of support that councils were able to provide.
"Research shows that the stability provided by carers can help children to achieve consistently better results at school when compared to children living with their families while receiving social work support, particularly when that care started early."
Sajid Hussain, 35, a taxi marshal near Snobs nightclub in Birmingham was convicted of sexual assault and another man was jailed for rape.
The club and a business group said they previously reported the unofficial rank to the council.
Birmingham City Council said it was "really concerned" by the incident.
The 19-year-old was abducted in a transit van and and raped after leaving Snobs in Smallbrook Queensway in the early hours of 20 February, 2015.
Latest on this story, plus more Birmingham news
Hussain, was jailed for six years and her rapist Zaheer Abbas, 30, was jailed for 11 years earlier this month.
Judge Mary Stacy had earlier told Birmingham Crown Court: "Snobs abandoned her on the street where she was prey to the likes of Abbas and Hussain."
A spokesman for Snobs and Southside Business Improvement District (BID), said Hussain was "not employed or associated" with either organisation and the "unofficial" rank he worked for had been reported to the council prior to the rape.
He said in May 2015, Southside instigated an official taxi rank outside the club "out of its own pot" due to the council's budget constraints. "Unfortunately this was too late," he said.
The BID area now has three official ranks with "CRB checked" marshals, he added.
Wayne Tracey, co-owner of Snobs, said the teenager "was found asleep in the toilet", checked by an onsite paramedic and "accompanied out of the building" into a cordoned-off area in front of the venue. Staff tried to find her friends in Snobs and a short time later she made her way to the taxi rank.
"At no point was she abandoned - she was looked after until she decided to make her own way home. Unfortunately, we are unable to compel members of the public to stay on site and no club can be expected to help visitors into taxis," he said.
Mr Tracey added: "We believe that the issue at hand is the licensing of taxi marshals and set-up of official taxi ranks in the city, which affects all clubs and bars."
A spokesman for the council said it was working with firms to improve the arrangements at taxi ranks in the Southside BID, which covers much of Birmingham city centre.
"Licensed Hackney carriages are allowed to operate from official ranks in the Southside BID area, but we advise people not to allow themselves to be put into licensed vehicles other than by a Southside BID marshal, who will put you into a black cab," they said.
The Muslim Council of Wales said leaders from Judaism, Christianity and Islam visited Dar Ul-Isra mosque.
It aimed to show extremism and religious hatred have "no place" in the city.
More than 100 guests from the Jewish and Christian faiths visited the mosque.
The Psychoactive Substances Act - aimed at tackling their supply and distribution - is due to come into force in April.
Seminars on the issue are being held by the region's drug and alcohol partnership in Dumfries and Stranraer.
They hope to raise awareness of the subject and the potential health risks.
Substance misuse co-ordinator, Det Con Scott Jardine, said it was vital the warning went out to the wider community.
"Some of these substances are legal to possess," he said.
"It is just to reiterate to members of the public, or to persons who are likely to take these, about the potential dramatic health effects that may occur."
He said that once the legislation was in place, police would be able to target retailers and people "who are indiscriminately selling these substances" to vulnerable people in Dumfries and Galloway.
The Mr Turner star opened in the 60s classic at the Old Vic on Wednesday in the part of the tramp Davies.
Spall last took to the capital's stage in 1992 playing Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream at the National Theatre.
In Pinter's play, Spall's ragged Davies is helped by a young man, only to have the brother threaten his new peace.
Critics were largely pleased to see the actor back on stage, whose career has for the last few years been on the big screen, notably playing Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter.
They also had kind words for Spall's co-stars, Daniel Mays playing the kindly brother Aston and George MacKay as his scheming brother Mick.
And, though some felt the production was lacking in all but its three-hour length, most, like Dominic Cavendish of The Telegraph, had some words of encouragement for the star for his performance in the notoriously gruelling play.
Spall has "gamely come, at the age of 59, to give the Old Vic an instant touch of box-office magic", says Cavendish.
Below you can read more of his review and highlights from some other critics' assessments.
How does Spall fare? Well enough, I'd say, but while he looks the part with wild grey hair, heavy black overcoat and old pinstripe trousers, he's hobbled rather than helped by aspects of his interpretation...
Matthew Warchus's revival protracts the overall experience to three hours... at least a small part of this excess is attributable to the meal Spall makes of his lines. Almost every utterance is accompanied by a starter of eye-rolling and muttering...

It's a part that Spall, who is also known for Fungus the Bogeyman on Sky TV, slips into like a pair of cheesy old slippers. It allows him to give full vent to the grumpy, inscrutable and tender talents that make him one of our finest actors...
The play may have launched Pinter on a 50-year journey to the Nobel prize and some say it changed the course of British drama. But there's no question that it's dated.

Watching Spall, I was reminded that I was recently twice conned by a man at the door seeking money first for a sponsored walk and then for a substitute latch-key. Spall, like my visitor, shows how the truly desperate often combine rat-like cunning with the ability to refashion themselves in the moment...
But, while Spall is always fun to watch, I feel there is an edge of danger and aggression to Davies that here gets lost.
Read full review
Although Davies is blunt and unkempt, he also resembles a music hall performer, a down-on-his-luck comedian who's perpetually searching for a new audience. Spall vividly expresses his clowning playfulness and the vulnerability it's meant to mask.
Yet it's rising star George MacKay who impresses most as Aston's malign brother Mick. He uses language as a weapon, and sometimes his whole body seems like a sharp, slim blade. His elaborately specific fantasies about interior design are winningly strange, and his stare is memorably pitiless.

This is comic strip Pinter. It's a lovingly drawn comic strip, performed with punch, skill and conviction, but it's still a comic strip...
Mighty performances anchor a broad and slightly bloated production of Pinter's classic tragicomedy.

What happened, why, and who was to blame for a catastrophic failure, that caused misery for tens of thousands of passengers, may cost British Airways over a hundred million pounds and tarnished the image of Britain's aviation flag carrier?
There are LOTS of questions to answer.
Company sources tell me the first question is: whose responsibility was the integrity of mission-critical IT systems?
That sounds like a no brainer - it's BA right? Not necessarily.
BA is part of a wider group called International Airlines Group (IAG) which includes Iberia, Vueling and a new cheap transatlantic service, Level. Part of the rationale for that kind of structure is to consolidate some functions at group level - that includes IT. The blame for this failure may fall at the door of Willie Walsh, former boss of BA and now chief executive of IAG.
Second, I'm told that contingency plans for system failure - well, failed.
The procedure for rebooting the systems is not quite "switch it off and switch it on again". Stuff needs to be done in a certain order, and that didn't happen.
Senior company sources acknowledged this was a "big miss" and I've learned that senior figures will be pushing for an inquiry - by professional outside experts - as to why it didn't work.
Then there was the response. A very senior figure told me: "It would be impossible to pretend that it was great. We need to figure out how, and why, decisions on how to deal with it were taken."
Having said that, other sources were quick to back Willie Walsh - pointing out that IAG is five times more profitable than the similarly-sized Air France KLM.
When I suggested that many people will think that is part of the prosecution rather than part of the defence, the insider changed tack: "What happened could have happened to any company - it was a local, rather than systemic, problem and it was definitely not a consequence of underinvestment or cost-cutting."
That judgement may not be for BA or IAG to make.
I'm told that the board is likely to push for a third party inquiry into exactly what happened, to make sure best practice was followed. It seems unlikely that someone won't get the hairdryer treatment - or worse.
Willie Walsh, the boss of IAG, is in Barcelona to launch a new low-cost service to the US. Some will feel that his first responsibility is to answer questions on why he has not answered publicly to the customers of the established crown jewel of the group that he runs.
Not usually one to shirk his media responsibilities, he has - so far - dodged the tough questions he will surely have to answer.
They have placed flowers at a memorial site high above the railway line at Ladbroke Grove in west London.
Just before 08:10 BST on 5 October 1999, 31 people died when two trains collided almost head-on.
The subsequent inquiry found the Thames Trains service travelling from Paddington to Bedwyn in Wiltshire had gone through a red signal.
It then crashed into the London-bound high-speed First Great Western train which had left Cheltenham Spa in Gloucestershire at 06:03.
The Thames driver, Michael Hodder, 31, and the other train driver, Brian Cooper, 52, were among those killed as the collision led to a fireball in which coach H was burnt out.
As well as the fatalities, more than 220 people were injured.
Paddington Survivors group chairman Jonathan Duckworth, 56, from Stroud in Gloucestershire, was on the First Great Western train.
Father-of-two Mr Duckworth said: "Luckily, I was only in hospital for around 24 hours but then I suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.
"I had to have about 18 months of treatment and was only able after that to take on small, part-time jobs.
"It was six or seven years before I was able to work full-time again."
The Paddington disaster was followed by fatal rail crashes at Hatfield in Hertfordshire in 2000, at Selby in North Yorkshire in 2001 and at Potters Bar in Hertfordshire in 2002.
Michael Roberts, director-general of the Rail Delivery Group, which speaks on behalf of Network Rail and the train operators, said: "We remember those who lost their lives and all those whose lives were changed as a result of the Paddington crash.
"After serious accidents in the early 2000s, changes such as an overhaul of employee training for those doing safety-critical jobs and a better approach to staff working hours have helped improve safety on Britain's railway."
Five of those who died were Malian security guards. The Malian military said the assault had been repulsed and four of the gunmen killed.
No group has claimed Monday's attack. Islamist militants frequently target the UN mission in Mali.
More than 100 members of the force have been killed.
World's most dangerous peacekeeping mission
The country's security has gradually worsened since 2013, when French forces repelled allied Islamist and Tuareg rebel fighters who had much of the north, including Timbuktu.
French troops and a 10,000-strong force of UN peacekeepers have been battling to stabilise the former French colony.
Burleigh, who can operate at fly-half or centre, joined the club in 2014 from New Zealand Super 15 side Highlanders.
"The club's heading in the right direction under Alan Solomons. I see a good future for Edinburgh and I want to be part of it." Burleigh said.
"We're building nicely towards our targets in the league this year and the next couple of seasons I see us challenging for more finals."
Burleigh, 29, has played 11 times for Edinburgh this season - often at fly-half - as the Murrayfield club have forced themselves into contention for a top four finish in the Pro12.
Competition for the number 10 jersey will increase at Edinburgh next season, with the summer arrival of Glasgow Warriors and Scotland fly-half Duncan Weir.
The finance secretary said it would be wrong to strike a bargain which cut Scotland's budget.
Mr Swinney said a "fiscal framework" needed to link Scotland's budget to economic performance.
But the prime minister has insisted "unprecedented devolution on taxes" was being sent to Holyrood.
David Cameron made his comment during clashes with the SNP's Westminster leader Angus Robertson at PMQs in the House of Commons.
In the Scottish Parliament, Mr Swinney said the Scottish government should be given "flexibility and choice to pursue its own distinct policies".
Scotland's deputy first minister was speaking as he led a debate on Westminster's Scotland Bill.
The bill is the legislation drawn up to deliver the recommendations of the Smith Commission, which was set up after the "No" vote in the independence referendum last September.
The commission was intended to deliver the pledges made in the Vow, a last minute pledge by the three main Unionist parties exactly a year ago to give Scotland widespread new powers over tax and welfare.
Mr Swinney told MSPs that the Smith Commission did not meet the promises of the Vow and the Scotland Bill did not at present fully implement the recommendations of the commission.
He called for the UK government to "move significantly" when the Scotland Bill returns to Westminster for its Report Stage and outlined areas where the bill "fell short" such as social security, employment programmes and the Crown estate.
The MSP also complained that the bill allowed UK ministers to veto proposed changes to Universal Credit and energy schemes.
Mr Swinney said there must be a "fiscal framework" to ensure further devolution provides the right incentives, linking the Scottish government's budget to Scottish economic performance.
He told the chamber: "We should retain the rewards of our success, as we will bear the risks.
"When the Scottish economy outperforms that of the rest of the UK, our spending power should increase."
Mr Swinney added: "I want to make very clear again that the Scottish government will not recommend that this parliament gives consent to the bill without an agreed fiscal framework that is fair to Scotland.
"I would have no hesitation to refuse to recommend a proposal that did not provide us with the ability to use our powers properly and flexibly to support the people of Scotland, to address our own priorities and to improve our economy."
Scottish Labour's democracy spokeswoman Claire Baker said her party wanted the devolution of the work programme, which seeks to get the long-term unemployed into work.
She said the Scotland Bill needed to be stronger and did not meet her expectations.
Ms Baker said her party would put forward amendments to the bill at Westminster and was committed to making sure the Scottish Parliament became one of the strongest devolved parliaments in the world.
The debate followed clashes at prime minister's questions when Mr Robertson said the "Vow", made in the closing days of the independence referendum campaign last year, had not been delivered by the Tory government in Westminster.
He added that even former Labour prime minister Gordon Brown said delivery was "falling short".
Mr Cameron said: "We have delivered on all of the promises that we made.
He said: "We said we would introduce a Scotland Bill, we introduced a Scotland Bill.
"We said unprecedented devolution on taxes, there has been unprecedented devolution on taxes.
"We said that we would provide those welfare powers, we have given those welfare powers."
Mr Cameron said the SNP should stop talking about processes and "start telling us what taxes you are going to put up, what welfare changes you are going to make".
Molly Ormond, 19, had the procedure at Newport's Blue Voodoo tattoo and piercing studio.
Newport council investigated the business after five customers suffered serious skin infections in May 2015.
Owner John Cochran, 60, was banned from working as a tattooist and piercer on 16 December this year.
He was given a 16-week suspended prison sentence after admitting several health and safety offences at Cardiff Crown Court.
Cochran also admitted causing the infections and failing to keep needles in suitable containers.
Ms Ormond was given a clean bill of health but said the experience had been "a big rollercoaster".
"I was very nervous, I was very scared. I didn't know what to expect," she said.
"You don't think it will ever be you but there was that slim chance you could end up being positive for one of these horrible diseases.
"He [John Cochran] got what he deserved."
She said there was an unprofessional environment in the shop.
"There were arguments happening at the time I was there between co-workers and people who had gone there to have tattoos and piercings done. Why I didn't walk out, I do not know."
Aneurin Bevan University Health Board set up specialist clinics for Blue Voodoo customers to be checked for viruses like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV.
Councillor Bob Poole, Newport council's member for regulatory functions, said the authority wanted more stringent regulations around the tattooing and piercing industry.
He added it was too easy for people to set up businesses and very difficult for councils to prevent people from trading.
"We can only refuse registration if a court has previously removed their registration and we have to rely on the tattooist or piercer to pass on that information," he said.
A sign on Blue Voodoo's window said it is under new management.
The hosts led twice in the first half, Moussa Dembele diverting in Erik Sviatchenko's header and Kieran Tierney forcing an own goal by Raheem Sterling.
Fernandinho's strike brought City level first time and Sterling showed composure to net the visitors' second.
Nolito equalised for the visitors again after Dembele had netted on the turn.
Barcelona's win over Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany keeps the Spaniards top of the group with City two points behind in second. The top two meet in Barcelona on 19 October.
Brendan Rodgers' Celtic hold a one-point advantage over bottom side Gladbach going into their meeting in Glasgow.
The electricity was crackling around Celtic Park even before a ball had been kicked, the home crowd unleashing noise and colour and every ounce of passion in their bodies on the visitors. All of that emotion came thundering in again when Dembele stunned City.
Scott Sinclair's free-kick, James Forrest's first-time cross, Sviatchenko's diving header and in off Dembele - already a Celtic cult hero at the tender age of 20. In attack, and defence, Dembele was terrific.
In those opening minutes City looked like a team that were not ready for Celtic's intensity. They looked a bit shocked to be involved in a fight. Class will out, though. Fernandinho equalised after latching on to Aleksandar Kolarov's shot and the epic was truly up and running.
Celtic retook the lead with a counter-attack of such quality that it could have carried the Guardiola trademark. Nir Bitton and Tom Rogic did wonderfully to launch it, the Australian setting Tierney free down the left.
The teenager, as beloved a full-back as any in these parts since Danny McGrain was tearing it up, cut in, shot and saw his attempt deflected in off Sterling's boot. Cue more pandemonium.
Cue City's brilliance too. Brown was too easily dispossessed and City sliced through, David Silva playing a sumptuous pass to the magnificent Sterling, who finished with all the class of a player reborn under his new manager.
City's defensive malaise carried on at the start of the second half. Kolarov, playing fitfully at centre-half, was desperately poor in the build-up to Celtic's third. When Tierney put in a cross, City's rearguard was in a comatose state. Dembele had time to take it down and hook it behind him and beyond Claudio Bravo.
This was brilliantly bonkers and the atmosphere intensified when Sergio Aguero forced a fine save from Craig Gordon only for the impressive Nolito to put away the loose ball.
City took control, pinning a tiring Celtic back and threatening to sicken them with a winner. Fernandinho launched a rocket that flew just over. Gundogan's shot hit off Sviatchenko and Gordon and went out. City pressed and pressed.

The heart from the home team was immense. Some of them were out on their feet before the end, but they dug in, throwing themselves in front of shots and crosses, surviving. They deserved to. City could hardly disagree that the underdogs merited their point.
Immense stuff in Glasgow's east end.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola: "It was maybe a good lesson for us, how important it is to start well. It is not easy to recover one goal, imagine two, imagine three.
"It was mentally a shock at the start of each half, to concede a goal after two minutes. In the second half, aside from the first five or 10 minutes we played well, we created chances.
"They scored three and but didn't make many more chances, we created enough chances to win the game."

The men were staying at the Thistle Hotel in Cambridge Street for the Scotland v England game at Celtic Park.
They admitted shouting and taking part in a fight on 18 November 2014 after finding out no tickets were available.
Those fined were George Policelli, 34, from Oxford, Darren Bigglestone, 48, from Berkshire, Charles Kennett, 35, and Lee George, 36, both of Portsmouth.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that because game was being shown live at the hotel it was treated as an offence under the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act.
Sheriff Bill Totten fined the four £1,500 each but told them he was not going to impose a football banning order.
He told them: "The catalyst of this incident, as it has been presented to me was the difficulty with football tickets and is plain from everything I have been told it is recognised the incident had been sparked by the conduct of someone else."
England won the friendly, which was held at Celtic Park, 3-1.
Four other men had not guilty pleas accepted in relation to the incident.
Bowery, 25, who once cost £500,000 when he left Chesterfield for Aston Villa in 2012, has been at Orient since being released by Oxford in June.
He becomes the first signing made by new Crewe boss David Artell.
The Alex are the second lowest scorers in League Two this season, having netted just 25 goals in 26 games.
Bowery made 22 appearances, 15 of them as a substitute, without finding the net in his two years at Villa before being signed for an undisclosed club-record fee by Rotherham, then moving on to Oxford in the January transfer window.
Orient are 20th in League Two, just three points behind Crewe, who have won just two of their last 22 games. But one of them was at Orient in October, in a game in which Bowery was substituted at half-time.
Artell has made it clear that he wants captain Ryan Lowe to remain at the club, despite continued speculation about a move back to one of the 38-year-old Liverpudlian's former clubs Bury as player-coach.
"I don't want Ryan to go," said Artell. "I want him here. Any manager will want to keep hold of their most experienced player and leading scorer, and I am no different.
"Ryan was the first player I spoke to when I got the job. He is a good pro. We will have to play it by ear but I don't want him to go."

President Nicolás Maduro says the constituent assembly is needed to bring peace after months of crisis.
But the opposition says the new body, which has the ability to rewrite the constitution, is a way for the president to cling to power.
In the capital Caracas, police used tear gas against opposition protesters who tried to reach parliament.
Several people were injured as security forces tried to disperse a few hundred demonstrators, reports say.
In other parts of the city, thousands of government supporters gathered to cheer and wave flags as the new members took office. Some carried pictures of late leader Hugo Chávez and the independence hero Simón Bolivar.
Among those sitting for the first time in the 545-member assembly are Mr Maduro's wife and son.
A close ally of Mr Maduro, former foreign minister Delcy Rodriguez, was elected president.
Her opening speech attacked the opposition as "fascist" and warned the international community against interfering.
Katy Watson, BBC South America correspondent, Caracas
Despite the protests and despite the criticism both at home and abroad, the Maduro administration has refused to change tack. This constituent assembly was a "victory" for the government, even though most people see it as anything but.
While the political wrangling continues, the economy is being pushed to the brink. When we arrived in Caracas a week ago, the unofficial exchange rate was around 10,000 bolivares to the dollar. It has now nearly doubled to 19,000.
But how much worse can this country get? The feeling is that things could get worse before they get better and that the opposition will need patience.
But the international community might not sit and wait for things to improve. Mr Maduro and several of his friends are already under sanctions. There is a suggestion that the US may broaden sanctions to cover the oil industry but that would be a very unpopular move. With the country relying on oil for more than 95% of its foreign earnings, the fall-out would hurt the people more than the politicians.
Constituent assemblies are set up for the specific purpose of drafting or adopting a constitution, and as such can fundamentally change how a country is run.
Venezuela is mired in a deep economic crisis and has seen waves of violent protests, and Mr Maduro presented the assembly as a way of promoting "reconciliation and peace".
Ms Rodriguez added in her speech: "The international community should not make a mistake over Venezuela. The message is clear, very clear: we Venezuelans will resolve our conflict, our crisis without any form of foreign interference."
But the opposition has cried foul. The new assembly has the power to bypass and even dissolve the current opposition-led National Assembly.
The two bodies are expected to run in parallel in the Legislative Palace in Caracas.
The election for the constituent assembly was marred by violence and accusations of fraud.
Venezuela's electoral authorities said more than eight million people, or 41.5% of the electorate, had voted, a figure the company that provided the voting system said was inflated.
The opposition boycotted the poll and also held an unofficial referendum in which they said more than seven million Venezuelans voted against the constituent assembly.
They have called for mass protests against the new body but demonstrations so far appear to have been muted.
The Vatican has joined worldwide condemnation of the assembly by calling for it to be suspended. In a statement, it argued the assembly fomented a "climate of tension" rather than reconciliation and peace.
The US has imposed sanctions on Mr Maduro, with the Trump administration calling him a "dictator".
The European Union and major Latin American nations say they will not recognise the new body.
Mr Maduro retains a major ally in Russia, however, and has the support of several left-wing nations in the Americas.
From health insurance to same-sex marriage, global warming and Obamacare - American citizens and people around the world want to know what the future will hold under the new administration. Here we tackle some of the questions being raised online and by BBC audiences.
Five days after the election, Mr Trump told US broadcaster CBS that he would deport or jail between two and three million illegal migrants initially. Those targeted would be migrants with criminal records, such as gang members and drug dealers.
Overall, there are about 11 million illegal immigrants in the US, and Mr Trump has published a 10-point plan on immigration which includes overturning amnesties introduced by President Barack Obama, strictly enforcing immigration laws and deporting those who do not have correct documents.
In the US, though, illegal immigrants do have a right to due process, so many more judges and prosecution lawyers will need to be appointed to practically make this happen and this could clog up the court system for years to come. Congress would need to approve funding for this process.
Mr Trump is expected to revoke President Obama's executive orders of 2014, which gave hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants temporary legal status and an indefinite reprieve from deportation. Executive orders allow presidents to introduce their own legally binding policies without Congressional approval.
Mr Trump has said that on his first day in office he will sign orders to speed up the removal of "criminal illegal immigrants", but that he will also end President Obama's non-enforcement policy and will detain people found illegally entering the US until they are deported. He has promised to increase the number of enforcement officers needed to accomplish this.
In its 2015 report, the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington-based non-partisan think-tank, said there were about 820,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records. Many of them had been arrested for crossing illegally into the US.
Meanwhile, a 2012 report by the non-partisan Congress Research Service think-tank said that only a small minority of all the unauthorised immigrants had committed violent crimes.
"All unauthorised aliens are potentially removable, indicated by crosshatches in the figure, but the majority of them have not been convicted of a crime and are therefore not classified as criminal aliens," the report said.
It did not provide an overall number of illegal immigrants in the US.
Even by the standards of billionaire businessmen, Donald Trump is an unusually litigious man who has been involved in thousands of lawsuits - both those he has launched and those he has defended - over the years.
The president-elect is currently facing 75 active lawsuits, according to an analysis by USA Today newspaper.
By far the most pressing - and potentially embarrassing for the newly elected leader - are several lawsuits launched over the now-defunct Trump University, which centre on former students claiming they were charged tens of thousands of dollars for courses that promised to unlock the secrets of real estate entrepreneurship - and didn't. Mr Trump denies the claims.
Because these were launched long before he assumed office, no presidential immunity statutes apply and Mr Trump will have to attend court when required.
Article II of the US Constitution states that the president "shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors"
If Mr Trump loses the case against him on Trump University that may leave him open to impeachment, some legal scholars suggest.
Christopher L Peterson, professor of Law at the University of Utah, argues that "fraud and racketeering are serious crimes that legally rise to the level of impeachable acts".
Beginning the process of impeachment requires a majority vote in the House of Representatives. Whether the Republicans, who hold the majority of seats, would want to impeach their own president is another matter.
Mr Trump has not proposed reductions on Social Security.
The funding needed for Social Security is expected to balloon over the next decade, and it's unclear where the money to pay for it will come from without tax increases.
The Republican Party's official 2016 platform says: "Current retirees and those close to retirement can be assured of their benefits. Of the many reforms being proposed, all options should be considered to preserve Social Security."
However, Mr Trump has appointed Michael Korbey to his transitional team to head Social Security.
The Associated Press reports that "as a senior adviser to the Social Security Administration, Korbey was an advocate for the George W Bush administration's failed attempt to privatise Social Security".
Indiana Governor Mike Pence has described himself as "a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order".
The 57-year-old has been a loyal supporter of Mr Trump, but - at times - he has not been afraid to speak his own mind.
Prior to being named the business mogul's running mate in July, Mr Pence had criticised Mr Trump's proposed ban on Muslims entering the US as "offensive and unconstitutional".
And during his vice-presidential debate performance on 4 October, Mr Pence defended his own positions - not necessarily those of Mr Trump - when challenged.
Mr Pence has served as governor of Indiana since 2013, but he also has 12 years of legislative experience as a member of the US House of Representatives.
He is a favourite among social conservatives who boasts considerable experience in Washington.
Mr Pence had considered running for president in 2016.

Donald Trump has said in interviews over several years that he is opposed to same-sex marriage, although he's also said he has attended a gay wedding.
He says the issue should be decided at state level, rather than nationally, and that he was unhappy with the 2015 Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that made same-sex marriage legal across the country. After that decision he appeared to agree that it was a "dead issue" and suggested that he didn't support attempts to overturn the ruling.
But earlier this year he told Fox News he would "strongly consider" appointing Supreme Court justices who would reverse it.
He has not made the issue a priority. His Vice President-elect, Mike Pence, is strongly opposed to gay marriage.
Election officials do not finalise the data until about two weeks after polling day. But the US Elections Project estimates that 128.8m Americans voted, out of 231.5m eligible voters - a turnout rate of 55.6%. In 2012, turnout was 58.6%, and in 2008 it was 62.2%.
Hillary Clinton looks set to win the popular vote by a narrow margin.
The latest count shows that Mrs Clinton won 60,981,118 votes, which amounted to 47.8% of the total, compared with Donald Trump's 60,350,241 votes, or 47.3%.
However, the system under which the US elects its president means that candidates need to win races in individual states to pick up "Electoral College" votes. As a result of victories in key "swing" states (those more likely to change hands between the two main parties) carrying large numbers of Electoral College votes, Mr Trump won 290 Electoral College votes - comfortably ahead of Mrs Clinton's 228. Two states, Michigan and New Hampshire, have not yet been declared.
Other candidates polled 6,260,817 votes.
To answer one of the most-asked questions on Google Trends - Donald Trump is 70 and Hillary Clinton is 69.
He will be inaugurated at noon on Friday, 20 January 2017. In the meantime he will name his team, develop policy positions, and have access to government briefings, including classified information on national security and military operations.
In an interview with The Hill website last year, Mr Trump appeared to scotch rumours that he would break with long tradition and not live in the presidential residence and principal workplace in Washington DC.
"Yes, I would live in the White House because it's the appropriate thing to do," he said. He went further, adding that he would "rarely leave the White House because there's so much work to be done".
Since Mr Trump won Tuesday's election, the Federal Aviation Administration has implemented flight restrictions over the area of his home on New York's Manhattan island that expire on 21 January, the day after his planned inauguration and expected move to the White House.
Apparently not. In an interview with CNN, Donald Trump's lawyer said the privately owned Trump Organization - a company with US and international holdings including hotels, golf courses and commercial and residential property - would be held in a "blind trust" run by Mr Trump's adult children, Donald Junior, Ivanka and Eric.
Whether such an arrangement constitutes a true blind trust that avoids conflicts of interest is being questioned by critics, as Mr Trump will still be aware of his business holdings and how policies might affect them, and direct relatives will be running them on a day-to-day basis.
Trump to trust in daughter power
Donald Trump has made building a wall along the border to stop illegal immigration a refrain of his campaign.
In an interview on CBS Mr Trump has said "a wall is more appropriate" in some parts but "there could be some fencing".
A document on his website outlines how he would "make Mexico pay". It would begin on "day one" with amending money transfer rules so that no "alien" would be able to wire money out of the US without showing documents establishing their lawful presence in the country. Mexico has rejected his assertion that it will pay.
Given the expected cost and scale of the wall, the challenges of acquiring privately owned land along the border route to build it on, and Congressional backing from sceptical Republicans, many analysts think it will never be built. Instead, they expect an increase in border policing and tightening of immigration rules. Some Trump advisers have talked of a "virtual" or "technological" wall, though he has insisted it will be built.
Donald Trump has pledged to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act, which he intends to scrap "very, very quickly".
However, Mr Trump has now said he is open to leaving intact key parts of President Barack Obama's healthcare bill.
He has said he will keep the ban on insurers denying coverage for pre-existing conditions.
He told the Wall Street Journal that he also favoured allowing young adults to be insured on their parents' policies.
BBC North America reporter Anthony Zurcher notes that: "the challenge for the president-elect is that the Obamacare features he praises - such as its mandate that insurers cover pre-existing medical conditions - are made possible by portions of the law he has condemned, like requiring all Americans to obtain insurance.
Keeping the law's carrots while abandoning its sticks could prove difficult.
Complicating the matter is that a "revise and reform" effort may not fly with Mr Trump's ardent supporters and the cadre of arch-conservative politicians in Congress, who want to tear up the law "root and branch".
Mr Trump often broke with Republican orthodoxy while campaigning and didn't pay a political price. He may learn that as president he won't get far without his party establishment's help."
A US president has the authority to launch a nuclear attack within minutes. The nuclear briefcase (or "football", as it's known) kept close to him at all times contains the codes he must use to authenticate his identity when ordering military commanders to carry out a nuclear strike. The Defence Secretary is also required to authenticate the codes, but does not have the authority to veto the decision. A complex system of people, procedures and technology then kicks into action to launch a nuclear attack.
The system is designed to allow the US president to respond to an imminent nuclear attack, with as little as 10 minutes warning. The briefcase also contains a "menu" of pre-planned strike options, targeting different parts of the world in different ways.
Donald Trump's critics have questioned whether he has the temperament, and intellectual capacity, to weigh complex information under the pressure of a nuclear alert - and have also raised concerns about someone known for his temper having access to the nuclear codes.
His statements have given mixed messages on his approach, and he has stressed that "unpredictability" is important where military - including nuclear - options are involved.
In April he told NBC he would "be the last to use nuclear weapons" describing their use as "a horror".
"I will not be a happy trigger like some people might be, but I will never, ever rule it out," he said.
But a month earlier he said: "Somebody hits us within ISIS, you wouldn't fight back with a nuke?"
In March, Donald Trump said that abortions should be illegal and he supported "some form of punishment" for women who had them. However, he later backed down from this, saying the legality of abortions should be left up to individual states, with any criminal penalties being reserved for abortion providers.
Mr Trump has said that he supports an abortion ban exception in cases of "rape, incest and [danger to] the life of the mother". He has also said he opposes the use of Medicaid to cover abortions for low-income women, and that with a Republican-controlled Congress he is willing to make that a matter of law.
Most abortions in the US are carried out by clinics, with Planned Parenthood being one of the largest providers of the service. Mr Trump has promised to stop funding the organisation, which provides reproductive healthcare - including birth control measures - to women across the United States.
But Planned Parenthood, whose affiliates operate around 650 health centres nationwide, has vowed to continue its work, tweeting: "Planned Parenthood has been here for 100 years. One thing is clear we'll never back down & we'll never stop providing care for our patients."
Women with health insurance can currently obtain contraceptives for free under the Affordable Healthcare Act - known as Obamacare - which Donald Trump has vowed to dismantle.
According to Vox, he could exclude birth control from the programme simply by changing a definition, rather than as part of wider moves to overturn the act.
But Mr Trump has not said he plans to do this - or said whether he would include contraceptives in a scheme to replace Obamacare. He has said he backs access to contraceptives without a prescription.
There's also concern about Donald Trump's plan to cut Planned Parenthood's funding. He has said the money will be reallocated to other providers, but critics say these would not be able to fill the gap in provision.
Fears that birth control will become harder and more expensive to access have prompted a flurry of interest in long-term contraceptive implants known as IUDs. Women are advised to consult a doctor on contraceptive options.
Mr Trump has stated that he wants jobs to go to American workers first and that he wants to reduce the numbers of foreign workers admitted to the US.
Under his administration he says immigrants will be selected among other things on their ability to be financially self-sufficient and he has said people will be subject to "extreme vetting" and an "ideological test".
There has been no detail given on what this vetting and testing would involve and experts point out that the US immigration code already includes ideological tests and screens those attempting to enter the country.
Mr Trump also wants to temporarily suspend immigration from regions that 'export terrorism and where safe vetting cannot presently be ensured'.
Over the years Congress has granted wide powers to the president to change immigration rules and he could institute even greater background screening checks. However, there is debate about whether he could impose lower limits on the number of people who can immigrate or change current green card categories, without Congressional support.
According to US law the president does hold the authority to "suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens" if the group's entry "would be detrimental to the interests of the United States." That can extend for as long as the president deems necessary.
After last year's mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, when 14 people were killed, Mr Trump issued a press release calling for a "total and complete shutdown" on Muslims entering the US "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".
The statement attracted condemnation from around the globe and significantly from his Vice President-elect Mike Pence, who called the proposal "offensive and unconstitutional".
Over the months it appears Mr Trump may have abandoned his plan. In October, Mr Pence told journalists he no longer protested against the proposed ban "because it's not Donald Trump's position now".
After the election, the page on his website that set out the policy appeared to have been removed, replaced by a redirect to the site's main page. That raised questions about whether it was being dropped, but the page was later restored and the Trump campaign told the Washington Post it had been an error.
Mr Trump has expressed scepticism about the science behind climate change and wants to get the US out of the Paris Climate Agreement deal. He says the deal is "bad for US business" and will allow "foreign bureaucrats control over how much energy we use".
In 2012, he tweeted that the concept of global warming was created by the Chinese to make US manufacturing non-competitive. But last January, he described that comment as a joke.
However, the Paris Agreement has been ratified and is already part of international law. While Mr Trump probably would easily find sufficient political backing to withdraw US support, the formal process to do this would take four years.
Since the election, delegates from 200 countries at the UN climate talks in Morocco have said they are prepared to move ahead with work on the Paris Agreement without the US.
The president-elect's foreign policy, expressed in his "America First" plan, states that it will always prioritise US interests, and that foreign allies should bear more of the cost of military action and defence.
Mr Trump has made it clear he intends to reassess US involvement in the Western military alliance Nato.
In an interview in July with the New York Times, he stated that in the face of a future attack from Russia, Nato members could only expect the US to defend them if they "have fulfilled their obligations to us" - an apparent breach of the alliance's mutual-defence treaty.
Following his election, European leaders have asked Mr Trump to clarify his position, while Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reminded him that the treaty commitment was "something absolutely unconditioned".
Whether a compromise can be reached is, at present, not known.
Former US Assistant Secretary of State PJ Crowley told the BBC: "At some point, probably quite early on, Kim Jong-un will stand up (spreads arms wide) and say to President Trump: 'We're a nuclear power. What are you doing to do about it?' That will be a key test for President Trump."
Much of Donald Trump's foreign policy remain unclear.
In May, he did suggest that he would sit down with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to try to stop Pyongyang's nuclear programme, proposing a major shift in US policy toward the isolated nation by saying: "I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him."
Pyongyang endorsed him and called him a "wise politician" and a "far-sighted candidate", and cheered his comments that South Korea should pay more for US troops to remain on its soil.
But following the election, North Korea has made it clear it does not intend to give up its nuclear weapons.
Addressing this question in the last few days, Graham Allison, one of the world's leading experts on nuclear proliferation and containment, said: "One of the many problems with Trump is that he has apparently not worked his way through any of the possible scenarios regarding a North Korean threat. Our commander-in-chief is the only person who stands between us and the possibility of getting blown to hell. Whether he would be impetuous, or impatient, or not know the material, we just don't know."
Mr Trump has also said he would be open to allowing Japan and South Korea to build their own nuclear arsenals for their protection against North Korea and China.
How might Trump deal with Kim Jong-un?
The US spends billions on Africa through aid and investment, but Donald Trump has said very little about how he intends to deal with the continent.
On foreign aid in general, he has said he would rather see money spent in the US. This raises concerns over the future of US aid schemes such as the Power Africa project, which aims to double the number of people with electricity across the continent and the Pepfar plan to tackle HIV/Aids.
His tough talk on so-called Islamic State, support for torture and anti-Muslim immigration statements all suggest a probable hard-line approach to security in North Africa, where US military involvement has increased in recent years.
Is Africa on Donald Trump's radar?
When the news of a possible Trump victory started to emerge, Canada's immigration website crashed, a phenomenon that was attributed to higher than normal level of traffic. There was also a surge of traffic to the New Zealand immigration website and the Google search "Australia immigration" hit a massive spike.
It is uncertain at this stage if this wave of interest by US citizens will result in people actually deciding to make the move to Canada or elsewhere.
However, while getting a travel visa to Canada would be straightforward for many Americans, moving permanently is a different issue.
Canada has several different immigration programmes and each has different application and eligibility requirements. According to specialist immigration lawyers, having a special skill or profession, joining immediate family members already living in Canada, or claiming political asylum as a "protected person" are the three main ways to make the move.
But for others, factors such as nationality, age, language ability, education and work experience will all be thoroughly scrutinised.
Canadians ready to welcome troubled Yanks
Unlike President Obama, Mr Trump supported Brexit and said in May that Britain would not be at the "back of the queue" for a trade deal outside the EU.
His trade adviser, Dan DiMicco, has said the president-elect wanted to to do a deal with the UK as soon as possible after Brexit but that doesn't mean he had a deal in mind that would necessarily be good for the UK.
Despite the so-called "special relationship", the UK gets no mention in the trade policy plans Mr Trump outlined to voters. He also stated clearly in his "America First" speech, that in both trade and foreign policy: "No country has ever prospered that failed to put its own interests first."
The impact of his policies at home on the American economy as a whole will resonate in the UK, and PM Theresa May will want to protect and grow the UK export market to the US which is currently worth around £3.5bn .
But Mr Trump is unpredictable and the UK is moving into unpredictable times.
In 2015, a petition was drawn up to, "Block Donald J Trump from UK entry" for hate speech. This was in response to a number of comments made by Mr Trump, particularly about Muslims.
The petition had over half a million signatures and was debated in parliament in January 2016. Although current Prime Minister Theresa May, who was the home secretary at the time, condemned Mr Trump's controversial remarks, she rejected the call to ban him from the UK.
Although there was a debate, there was no vote on the issue so there will be no direct action taken.

What the former marine didn't know was that he would be saving the life of the woman who would become his wife.
But less than two years after Mr Dempsey called Heather Krueger to reveal he was a match, the two were married.
The love story began with a conversation overheard in a workplace break room in Frankfort, a village south of Chicago, Illinois.
Miss Krueger had stage four liver disease, and had been ill for about two years already when doctors told her she only had a 50% chance of surviving another two months without a transplant.
Her family were in a race against time to find her a donor - a hugely difficult task in a country with more than 119,000 people on its transplant waiting lists.
That was where code enforcement officer Mr Dempsey came in.
"I heard a co-worker talking about his cousin who needed a liver transplant," Mr Dempsey told the BBC.
"I just thought to myself, I would want someone to help me or my family in that situation."
The 38-year-old decided to get himself tested and discovered he was a match for the then Miss Krueger, now 27.
The first time they spoke was the moment he called to tell her he would be her donor at the start of February 2015. Later, she would tell him how she and her mother had cried tears of joy after receiving the call.
They first met shortly afterwards when Mr Dempsey took Miss Krueger for lunch - and he paid.

In the weeks leading up to the transplant, they began to spend increasing amounts of time together as Mr Dempsey and his motorcycle club threw themselves into fundraising.
"We were going out looking for donations for a benefit, and I just started thinking, she's a really nice girl, she is somebody I would like to get to know."
By the time of the surgery at the University Of Illinois Hospital on March 16, they had already been on a couple of dates, but they only made it official afterwards.
"I was really confident everything was going to be okay," said Mr Dempsey. "I was still nervous - there is always the chance [something might go wrong] - but at no point did I rethink the decision.
"It was just really good knowing she was going to be okay."
The proposal came eight months later, after a horse and carriage ride in Chicago. Then, almost 19 months to the day of the transplant, the healthy couple became Mr and Mrs Dempsey.
"I think it was definitely more emotional - maybe more so for her and her parents - knowing what we had both been through," said Mr Dempsey.
"I never would have thought in a million years when I agreed to all this that I would marry her. It is amazing."
300 fire fighters tackled the blaze and more than 1,400 people had to be evacuated from their homes.
The fire took hold on Sunday, not far from the popular tourist resort of Benidorm.
The Spanish police think some of the fires might have been started on purpose.
The wildfire has destroyed around 790 acres of land and several buildings, local emergency services said.
Many people affected by the fire were evacuated to schools to spend the night.
Residents living nearby also offered those who had been moved places to stay and gave them food and water.
A bill lodged by SNP MSP Mark McDonald should promote "good neighbour" behaviour, according to the local government committee.
MSPs also agreed it would help solve disputes when all other avenues have failed.
The High Hedges (Scotland) Bill defines a high hedge at two metres, formed by a row or two of evergreens.
Scotland does not have specific legislation in this area, but similar laws have been adopted in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as the Isle of Man.
The High Hedges Bill was lodged by Mr McDonald at the Scottish Parliament in October, 10 years after action was first suggested by former Labour MSP Scott Barrie.
Campaigners have said that problems with overgrown vegetation can lead to confrontation between residents, which has been dubbed "hedge rage".
Defines a high hedge at two metres, formed by a row or two of evergreens.
Residents can complain to councils on the basis hedges on neighbouring land are considered to have an "adverse effect on the reasonable enjoyment of domestic property".
Councils aim to settle disputes and would get powers to issue enforcement notice to hedge owners, requiring them to take action.
Failure to comply would let the council go in and do the work, charging the costs to the hedge owner.
Kevin Stewart, convener of the local government committee, said: "Our committee heard first-hand the impact that disputes over high hedges can have in communities and on the lives of ordinary people up and down the country.
"This bill provides an accessible local solution to address these disputes where all other avenues have failed.
"We share the hope of those who gave evidence to our committee, that the mere existence of legislation will promote 'good neighbour' behaviour."
The bill proposes that councils act as mediators to settle disputes between neighbours and, if required, go in to cut back hedges. They would then charge the costs to an owner who failed to take action.
However, wildlife groups have raised concerns that the proposed law may lead to the removal of protected trees.
The bill would need to make it through two more stages of scrutiny at Holyrood, before becoming law.
The 30-year-old Wales captain moved to Salford from Huddersfield in 2016 and has also played for Bradford and Halifax.
He has featured in all seven games for Salford this season as they sit fifth in the league.
"He's a player who gives 100% every time he goes onto the field," head coach Ian Watson told the club website.
The length of the new deal has not been disclosed.
Five men have already been found guilty and a sixth man has been cleared in the case at Mold Crown Court, which heard boys were assaulted at sex parties.
The jury has been considering charges regarding final defendant Keith Stokes, 62, from Farndon, Chester.
The trial began in April.
The men were arrested as part of the Operation Pallial investigation into historical abuse across north Wales. | Alex Hales said he was not aware he was closing in on the highest one-day international score by an Englishman in his scintillating 171 against Pakistan on Tuesday.

A number of brokerage employees, current and former members of the regulatory commission, and a financial journalist are also being investigated for misconduct.
China's volatile stock market dropped sharply on Monday, in its biggest single-day fall since 2007.
It has caused a knock-on effect on other markets globally as worry spread.
Police are investigating:
However, Citic said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange on Wednesday that it had not been informed of an investigation.
The other brokerages had announced their investigations in statements late on Tuesday.
On Wednesday China's benchmark Shanghai Composite fell 1.27% to 2,927.29, despite a fresh rate cut a day earlier by the central bank.
The index had fallen about 16% this week, leading to sharp falls in Asia and the US over the past few days.
On Tuesday, China's central bank cut its key lending rate by 0.25 percentage points to 4.6% in a bid to calm stock markets.

Rivers burst their banks in Cumbria with flooding affecting roads, farmland and train services across the county.
Only a handful of homes are thought to have been affected despite initial fears up to 1,600 properties could be at risk.
Reception centres were set up in the Cumbrian towns of Kendal and Egremont.
In addition to Cumbria, where the main A66 route was flooded at Threlkeld, some of the worst hit areas were in West and North Yorkshire.
The River Wharfe burst its banks in a number of places as it surged through Ilkley, Otley and Pool, north of Leeds.
Northern Trains had to cancel a large number of services after lines were flooded in West Yorkshire, including in Hebden Bridge and Leeds.
In Stockton-on-Tees, three people were taken to hospital for checks after a taxi overturned in what police described as "awful driving conditions".
The A65 in the Settle area of North Yorkshire was also badly affected by localised floods and North Yorkshire Police attended reports of a fallen tree blocking a road in the Ingleton area.
River levels in many parts of England appeared to be dropping, although 39 flood warnings remained in place overnight.
What does the week ahead have in store? BBC Weather's Alex Deakin has the forecast.
The Environment Agency said it was particularly concerned about the town of Tadcaster, further down the River Wharfe.
Neil Davies, Environment Agency flood risk duty manager, said: "Further heavy, persistent rain is expected into Monday and river levels remain extremely high and are continuing to rise in places."
The Army is due to leave the barracks in 2013, when training facilities will be moved elsewhere.
The exhibition is being held by Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) as part of public consultation, Surrey Heath council said.
Proposals for the 117-hectare site include housing, open space, access roads, a primary school and some shops.
Opponents of the plan have questioned whether the infrastructure is adequate to cope with an influx of hundreds of new residents.
Surrey Heath council said this consultation was being carried out by DIO, which is responsible for Ministry of Defence (MoD) property, but the local authority would run its own consultation after a formal planning application was submitted.
The site is being released by the MoD following a national review of training that was prompted by the deaths of four soldiers in unclear circumstances at the Surrey army base.
Privates Sean Benton, Cheryl James, Geoff Gray and James Collinson all died from gunshot wounds between 1995 and 2002.
A coroner recorded a verdict of suicide for Pte Benton, but the inquests into the other three returned open verdicts.
The exhibition was taking place on Wednesday at Deepcut Village Hall.
The man was detained near Casablanca on Friday, the interior ministry said, and had travelled from Syria via Turkey, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
He had fought in Syria with al-Nusra front before joining so-called Islamic State, Morocco said.
The Paris attacks of 13 November killed 130 people.
They are believed to have been at least partly planned in Brussels, and Belgian police have arrested several people as part of their investigation.

The Moroccan interior ministry's statement did not name the suspect, but gave his initials in Arabic, which could be translated as either GA or JA.
The statement said the man, arrested in Mohammediya, had travelled to Syria "with one of the suicide bombers of Saint-Denis".
French police raided a flat in the Saint-Denis district of Paris five days after the attacks, searching for the suspected ringleader, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a Belgian national. He and his cousin Hasna Aitboulahcen died in a fierce gun battle during the raid.
A third person who died during the raid, detonating a suicide bomb, was named by the Paris prosecutor's office last week as Chakib Akrouh, a Belgian-Moroccan national, born in Belgium in 1990. He was identified using DNA from his mother.
Both Akrouh and Abaaoud had spent time in Syria.
The Moroccan statement said the arrested man had "built solid ties with IS leaders, including the ringleader of the Paris attacks".
He would stand trial once investigations finish, it added.
Paris prosecutors would not comment on the arrest.
The focus of the international manhunt remains Frenchman Salah Abdeslam, who is suspected of taking part in the attacks and is still on the run.
In three separate cases, high profile and influential individuals - a Bollywood star, a powerful politician, and a former business baron - were allowed to walk free by appeals court despite being found guilty by lower courts.
The actor was found guilty of running a vehicle over people sleeping on the street, the politician of amassing unaccounted wealth and the former business baron of corporate fraud.
The wheels of justice grind slowly in India - more than 30 million cases are pending in its courts and more than a quarter of them have been unresolved for at least five years. Snail justice ends up benefitting the rich as witnesses can be intimidated and bought and political pressure and money power can be used to influence and subdue prosecutors and sometimes judges.
It took 13 years for a court in Mumbai to convict actor Salman Khan of culpable homicide and sentence him to five years in prison despite prosecution witnesses turning hostile. But it took two days for an appeals court to suspend the sentence and grant him bail. It helped that Khan had access to some of the best and most expensive lawyers. India has over a million registered lawyers, but a large number of them graduate with dubious degrees from indifferent law schools, are poorly educated and, according to lawyer-turned-journalist Kian Ganz, "effectively operate as fixers... hawking for work outside small claims courts or as notaries".
After 18 years, a court last September found former Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayaram Jayalalitha guilty of amassing unaccounted-for-wealth and sentenced her to four years. Some seven months later, on Monday, an appeals court cleared her of corruption charges, saying that the trial court had "exaggerated" her wealth.
The case was moved from Tamil Nadu to neighbouring Karnataka to ensure a fair trial, but that doesn't appear to have helped matters. As Supreme Court lawyer Karuna Nundy pointed out, the high court in Karnataka examined the same evidence and said in its 919-page ruling "repeatedly that the acquittal was a failure of the prosecution".
It took six years for a court in April to declare B Ramalinga Raju, former head of Satyam Computers, guilty of criminal conspiracy and cheating and sentenced him to seven years in jail. A month later, on Monday, the appeals court accepted a defence plea that he had spent 35 months in jail, a "substantial part" of his term, and granted him bail after suspending his sentence.
To be sure, the three rulings really do not mark any sea change and have just happened to come around the same time. It is also true that India's higher courts routinely revoke orders of lower trial courts. For years politicians have evaded corruption charges and the rich and famous have escaped criminal liability through "high-priced lawyering".
At the same time, many believe, the recent rulings are - again - an indictment of India's ailing and unfair justice system which is heavily loaded against the poor, and shabby investigation by the police.
Thousands of undertrials languish in Indian prisons for lesser offences unable to afford bail. Judges are also often blamed for being anti-poor. After the Supreme Court granted bail to Jayalalitha last year, Supreme Court lawyer Rajeev Dhavan wrote tellingly about bail discrimination: "Bail for as many is good, but applying it differentially is not. We do not have clear principles to guide bail decisions - especially in post-conviction cases, where judges look at the crime and behave totally with subjective arbitrariness against the poor."
The recent rulings reminded me of a highly acclaimed recent indie film called Court - possibly the best Indian film of the year so far - which astutely skewers the country's discriminatory and outdated justice system. A part-time teacher and social activist is hauled to a court on trumped up charges of instigating a sewage worker to kill himself after listening to one of the activist's incendiary songs. The case grinds on in drab courtrooms with no end in sight, and effectively destroys the activist.
Of course, as Nick Robinson, a fellow at the Harvard Law School's Program on the Legal Profession and at Delhi's Centre for Policy Research, tells me, there are often good judges trying to do the right thing. "But politics and money is so embedded in the system that it clearly tilts the deck in favour of the powerful," he says. "I also think some judges worry that if they are seen as overly-punitive on those with power, then there might be a backlash against them impacting their careers or the authority of the judiciary."
India needs more judges, more and better educated lawyers and a thorough repair of what academics Devesh Kapur and Milan Vaishnav call the "dilapidated and clogged" plumbing of its courts. Otherwise, as they warn, the judicial process itself will remain the punishment, an enduring shame for the world's biggest democracy.
The Sydney Morning Herald claimed they disagreed over a deadline for proving Clarke's fitness for the World Cup, which begins on 14 February.
Clarke, 33, made 51 playing grade cricket for Western Suburbs on Saturday on his return from hamstring surgery.
"I've copped it my whole career. It's another day, it's another newspaper sold. I don't really care," he said.
"Some people are going to write what they want."
Batsman Clarke has not played since having surgery on a hamstring injury sustained in the first Test against India in December.
In January, he was named in Australia's 15-man World Cup squad, on condition he proved his fitness in time for their second group game against Bangladesh in Brisbane on 21 February.
Clarke is reported to think their fourth match against Afghanistan in Perth on 4 March is more realistic.
However, he said: "I'm really happy and comfortable with my relationship with Cricket Australia, firstly, certainly with my team-mates, so it's water off a duck's back.
"My job is to get fit and healthy and I can't wait to get back on the park for Australia.
"I'm certainly ahead of where the surgeon and the Australian medical staff thought I would be at the six-and-a-half-week stage."
In Clarke's absence, Steve Smith has excelled as stand-in captain, winning the Allan Border Medal and claiming Test and one-day player of the year accolades at Australia's annual cricket awards.
It is one option being looked at by the Department of Health's joint committee on vaccination and immunisation.
The number of cases in England and Wales this year is already three times higher than for the whole of 2011.
The Department of Health said any decision to expand the vaccination programme would not be taken lightly.
Babies are currently offered a whooping cough vaccine at two, three and four months of age.
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) said on Friday that it was very concerned about the surge and warned parents to be on the look-out for symptoms of whooping cough and to ensure their children were vaccinated on time.
The condition is characterised by severe coughing, followed by a gasp or "whoop".
There have been 235 cases this year among babies aged under three months, which is double the number recorded in the last peak in 2008.
Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is more dangerous for young babies because they do not get the benefits from vaccination until about four months.
The Department of Health's committee is considering whether to vaccinate more people to help tackle the outbreak.
This could mean booster doses for teenagers, and jabs for pregnant women and newborn babies and their families.
The HPA said there had been 1,047 whooping cough cases reported in July, bringing the total this year to 3,513. Surges are seen every three to four years.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "We continue to see high uptake of vaccination against whooping cough and are investigating the recent increase in cases. This highlights the importance of vaccination against this and other illnesses.
"The joint committee on vaccination and immunisation is looking at whether more people need to be vaccinated. Careful consideration is always needed around expanding any programme.
"Parents should make sure their children are up to date with all vaccinations, and should speak to their GP if they need advice."
At its peak, 35 firefighters were needed to bring the blaze in Upper Dock Street under control after getting a call just after 03:00 BST On Thursday.
The building consists of a vape shop and two floors of offices and South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the fire was out by about 07:15.
No-one was inside when the fire started, but police evacuated neighbouring buildings as a precaution.
Firefighters remain at the scene and are damping down to prevent any reignition.
The adjacent Kingsway, one of the main roads through the centre of Newport, was closed in both directions for several hours while the blaze was ongoing.
Gwent Police said it had been reopened by 07:50, but High Street and Skinner Street remain closed.
England have clinched the Six Nations title but victory in Paris on Saturday will complete five wins out of five.
"We haven't done anything yet," said Jones. "We've got the Six Nations trophy, but it doesn't feel like that."
Scrum-half Danny Care and prop Mako Vunipola come into the side that beat Wales last weekend.
France have finished in the bottom half of the table in the past four Six Nations while England will be looking to win a Grand Slam for the 13th time.
"If you look at their team, they have got very talented individuals. We are certain they will play a traditional French game based on forward power and off-the-cuff rugby," said Jones.
"We have just got to be intense and physical to not allow them in the game. They have got a new coach who likes a certain style of play and they are trying to develop that play."
Full team news for France v England
Jones also said his predecessor Stuart Lancaster deserved credit for doing a "great job" developing the team.
Lancaster, 46, left his post in November after three and a half years in charge, following England's early exit from their home World Cup and Jones told BBC Sport that Lancaster should be "congratulated on the job he did".
The 56-year-old Australian added: "I'd be remiss not to say that a lot of the success has got to be put down to what Stuart Lancaster did with this group of players."
England had the youngest squad at the World Cup, with an average age of 26.2 years.
Jones, the first foreign coach of the England team, added: "He did a great job developing this team up to the stage they were, so we're all thankful to him."
Police said they were responding to a report of a dispute at a house at Mullach Alainn near Omeath in County Louth at about 18:00 local time on Sunday when the incident occurred.
A woman was also seriously injured in the shooting.
The police officer who died was Anthony Golden, 36, a father of three.
BBC NI's Dublin Correspondent Shane Harrison said the gunman had been named locally as 24-year-old Adrian Crevan Mackin.
He was facing charges of membership of a dissident republican organisation and was out on bail.
Commissioner Noirín O'Sullivan, the head of the Irish police force, said the incident was a "terrible tragedy".
"I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of my colleague in a fatal shooting incident this evening while carrying out their duties," she said.
"This incident highlights the unique nature of the job carried out by the men and women of [the police force], and the dangers they face every day."
Frances Fitzgerald, the Irish justice minister, said the police officer's death would be "mourned by the entire nation".
"The fact that [he] has laid down his life while protecting the community is a cause of great sadness," she said.
"While no words at this time can be expected to console his wife and children, his family, his colleagues and all who loved him, they know that he gave his life protecting the community he was so proud to serve."
Irish President Michael D Higgins contacted Commissioner O'Sullivan to offer his condolences.
"I want to express my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the Garda who has so tragically lost his life while responding to this incident," he said.
"My thoughts at this time are also with all others who have been affected by the events in Omeath earlier this evening."
Northern Ireland Justice Minister David Ford said he was "absolutely horrified" to hear about the deaths.
"I spoke to my colleague Frances Fitzgerald in Dublin to express my sympathy and asked her to pass that on to garda officers," he said.
The Garda Representative Association, which represents rank and file members of the Irish police force, said it was "shocked and saddened" by the officer's death.
Its president Dermot O'Brien said: "This dreadful, dreadful news is the deepest fear of every police family. This puts everything we do into perspective."
The scene of the shooting has been sealed off for a forensic examination.
Firefighters and police were called to the Claire House children's hospice store in Bromborough, Wirral, at about 03:40 GMT.

Mr Cunha is a rival of President Dilma Rousseff, He will be charged with bribery connected to contracts with the state oil company, Petrobras.
The court will rule later on whether Mr Cunha should leave his post. He denies wrongdoing and refuses to stand down.
Mr Cunha has been leading efforts to impeach President Rousseff.
The lower house's Ethics Committee has also approved an investigation into whether Eduardo Cunha should lose his position for lying to a congressional hearing by denying he held bank accounts overseas.
Swiss prosecutors say they later located accounts held by Mr Cunha.
Prosecutors have said Mr Cunha accepted $5m (£3.5m) in bribes between 2006 and 2012 in connection with the construction of two Petrobras drilling ships.
He is charged with corruption and money-laundering. The charges are part of a wide-ranging and complex investigation into a huge corruption scheme at Petrobras.
Under Brazilian law, charges against federal congressmen and other top government officials can only be filed and judged by the Supreme Court.

Some took up positions on top of the minarets, and fired at police engaged in gunfights with militants below.
Police took control of the other mosque in the nearby Model Town area after a two-hour gunfight.
Pakistan's Geo TV channel said the Pakistani Taliban had claimed responsibility for the assaults.
Members of the community have often been mobbed, or gunned down in targeted attacks, says the BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad.
But this is the first time their places of worship have suffered daring and well co-ordinated attacks that bear the mark of Taliban militants, our correspondent adds.
Ali Dayan Hassan of Human Rights Watch told the BBC the worshippers were "easy targets" for militant Sunni groups who consider the Ahmadis to be infidels.
While the Ahmadis consider themselves Muslim and follow all Islamic rituals, they were declared non-Muslim in Pakistan in 1973, and in 1984 they were legally barred from proselytising or identifying themselves as Muslims.
The note will be a limited edition that will be auctioned to raise money for BBC Children in Need this autumn.
Kayla Robson, at Morgan Academy, won the competition which challenged children to design part of the £5 Bank of Scotland banknote.
The theme was What does BBC Children in Need mean to you? The note will be Bank of Scotland's first polymer note.
The circulation will be limited to just 50 notes, which officials believe will make it popular among collectors.
The charity's iconic mascot, Pudsey Bear will be on the note with Kayla's design depicting him wearing a kilt and raising a Saltire on the back.
Graeme Donald, Bank of Scotland competition judge said: "The bank received over 4,000 entries to this competition, a fantastic response, and all the judges were blown away with the quality of the entries and the imagination and creativity shown by the children.
"Choosing a winner was not an easy process but when we looked at Kayla's design, which combines brilliantly the use of colour and shading, we felt it brought home what BBC Children in Need means to so many people as well as having all the right attributes to make a great £5 note.
"This will be the first time the designs of children have been incorporated on a Scottish banknote and we hope to raise lots of money for BBC Children in Need."
The winner Kayla Robson said: "I love drawing and have always enjoyed raising money for BBC Children in Need in school.
"I am very excited at winning and can't wait to see my design on the £5 note."
Last month the bank announced that its next £5 and £10 banknotes will be printed on polymer.
The design of the main replacement polymer £5 note will be unveiled before the end of this year with the note itself issuing in the second half of 2016. It will be followed a year later by the polymer £10 note.
Bath have ruled out surgery for the 24-year-old, who suffered medial ligament damage against Northampton.
Wales play Australia on 5 November before games against Argentina, Japan and South Africa.
"He's had a scan. It's anything from six to eight weeks," said Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder.
Faletau, who joined the Premiership club from Newport Gwent Dragons this summer, was replaced 12 minutes into the 18-14 win at Northampton Saints.
He is one of seven Welsh exiles who will have to rely on being picked as wildcards for international selection during 2016-17.
George North, Jamie Roberts, Rhys Priestland, Dominic Day, Nicky Thomas and Rhodri Williams are the others.
The Welsh Rugby Union's senior player selection policy means only three players who play outside Wales can be picked.
Interim Wales head coach Rob Howley announces his squad for Wales' November Test matches on Tuesday, 18 October.
Hundreds of thousands called for democratic reforms in a peaceful demonstration largely focused on a gathering in Tiananmen Square in the summer of 1989.
Security forces cracked down on the six-week protests on 4 June 1989, killing hundreds in the streets of Beijing. The authorities classify the 1989 protests as counter-revolutionary riots and hold no memorial.
Some Chinese papers discuss the controversial topic of democracy, but without making any direct comment on the Tiananmen Square incident.
A headline in the Global Times' editorial reads: "25 years on, society firmer about its path."
The editorial, which is only available in print and e-paper format, criticises media outlets in the US and Europe for "ramping up" reports on "China's crackdown on illegal activities in the public sphere" leading up to the anniversary.
"China has shielded relevant information in a bid to wield a positive influence on the smooth development of reform and opening-up??? Chinese society has never forgotten the incident 25 years ago but not talking about it indicates the attitude of society," it says.
Adding that the "Chinese society still remembers how poor we were 25 years ago", it quotes examples of Ukraine and Thailand to caution against the "preaching and appeals from the West".
"We will not follow the steps of the West. Even those who are captivated by Western ideology are alert to the possibility of the country sinking into turbulence," it warns.
Echoing similar sentiments, an article in the China Daily praises "socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics".
Making no mention of the incident, Liu Guijun, a researcher with the Communist Party Central Committee's Literature Research office, writes that "China's democracy is people's democracy under the leadership of the party".
"Therefore, if China adheres to the development path it has chosen, it can establish itself as a successful institutional system different from those followed by Western countries," he adds.
Meanwhile, both Hong Kong and Taiwanese news outlets quote China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei as saying that the Chinese government had long ago reached "the conclusion about the political turmoil at the end of the 1980s".
However, the foreign ministry's press conference website is not carrying Mr Hong's remarks.
Hong Kong media outlets also report that support for the 1989 student protests has dropped, although a majority of Hong Kong residents still believe that the central government was wrong in suppressing the protests.
According to a survey conducted by Hong Kong University's Public Opinion Programme, only 48% of the respondents agreed that "the Beijing students did the right thing", in contrast with 54% a year ago.
The South China Morning Post expects "tens of thousands of Hong Kongers" to attend the candlelight vigil on Wednesday as people still remember the "tragedy of the brutal crackdown" and "younger people have taken up the candles from the older generation".
In Taiwan, experts tell the Apple Daily that China's suppression of dissenting voices is stronger than in the past.
Media outlets also report that President Ma Yingjeou has urged the mainland to "think hard about the significance of the Tiananmen massacre" and to turn the "historic scar" into energy to "push forward real reforms of the country's political and social systems".
A report in the Central News Agency observes that the atmosphere is tense in Beijing and that there are "more armed police than tourists in Tiananmen Square" on Wednesday.
"The country's system is reminding the people not to create trouble, but the public are awakening too. Keeping silent does not mean they do not know [about the incident]??? a big country needs to have the courage to face up to the past before it can become a strong country," it adds.

The 23-year-old right-back also rejected offers from Dundee and Polish top-flight club Jagiellonia Bialystok.
Thistle manager Alan Archibald told the club's website: "It's great to bring Ziggy to the club.
"He has a wealth of experience at Premiership level and I'm sure he'll be a great addition to the squad."
Thistle were looking for right-back cover after Mustapha Dumbuya suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and Gary Miller left for Plymouth Argyle.
Gordon, who came through the youth ranks with Accies and made 40 appearances last season, had been viewed by Dundee as a replacement for Paul McGinn, who moved to Chesterfield this summer.
"Paul Hartley is a fantastic manager and he's a great guy as well, but my gut feeling at the time was that it wasn't the right path for me to go on," the Scottish defender told BBC Scotland ahead of Thistle's announcement.
Jagiellonia, from Bialystok in the east of Poland, finished 11th in last season's Ekstraklasa and had a transfer bid for the defender rejected in January 2015.
"These two were really good offers," said Gordon, whose mother's family hail from Krakow. "People would bite your hand off to go to either club - massive clubs with massive opportunities.
"Dundee are a big club here and I'm sure they'll do well this season and Bialystok in Poland, they are a big club and have just got a new stadium as well - 17,000 fans every week.
"So it was a very tough decision and I don't take it lightly. It just didn't sit well enough with me to sign."
Gordon admitted that it was a difficult decision to leave New Douglas Park.
"I'm the kind of person that really needs to think about the decision he makes and I've been at Hamilton for a long time - 13 years, since I was 10 years old," he added.
"This next step is really crucial for my development and my career, so it is not one I take too lightly.
"It is very emotional, especially with the season we had last season. It was a really up and down season - in some parts we looked like a top-six team and then in other parts we looked like relegation candidates.
"It made it more emotional helping to keep them in the Premiership."
They were crossing at Welburn near Malton at about 23:00 BST on Friday, North Yorkshire Police said.
The pair were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. The vehicle driver and his wife, travelling towards Scarborough, were uninjured.
The road was closed in both directions for about four hours but has since reopened.
The force has appealed for any witnesses to contact them.
The Bluebirds have eight Championship games left, starting at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
But rather than thoughts of a summer break Warnock is busy preparing his charges for the next campaign.
"We start next season now. We want to keep the momentum going," said Bamba. "We can't stop talking about it."
Warnock has signed a contract extension to keep him in Wales' capital for 2017-18 and has made no secret of the fact he is aiming to add another promotion to his already formidable record.
The 68-year-old has sought financial backing from the Bluebirds' board and Bamba believes he and his teammates will be contenders to rise to the Premier League.
"Everything we are doing now is for next season. The gaffer says that every day," said Bamba.
"If we don't do things right, he says he is going to get new players or change things, which is fair enough.
"We start now and we are ready for it.
"We believe (we can be promotion contenders). We've got the right manager.
"If you look since the manager has been at the club, I think he said it himself, we would be third in the league from when he took over.
"We want to build on that and we do believe we can be up there, definitely. We've got good players.
"We've beaten some good teams in the league.
"If we do the right things next season and believe in ourselves, we have a good chance."
Such positive talk shows how far the Bluebirds have come since Warnock took charge in October with the Bluebirds sitting one place off the bottom of the Championship.
Victory over Ipswich before the international break took Cardiff above the 'magic' 50 points mark often cited as the amount needed to avoid relegation.
But Bamba, who was one of Warnock's first signings, says it was apparent straight away that, under their new boss, the Bluebirds would be looking up the table rather than down.
The 32-year-old centre-half added: "We were in a relegation battle then, but after a few games we were more looking up than down.
"It's definitely down to the manager. He gave us a lot of confidence. He told the players he believed in us.
"He's a character with a lot of experience in this league. We responded to that and now we are looking up."
Those from the poorest backgrounds, with more loans available to support them, will graduate with debts of over £57,000 says the think tank.
Interest charges are levied as soon as courses begin and the IFS says students on average will have accrued £5,800 in interest charges by the time they have graduated from university.
Report author Chris Belfield describes the interest as "very high", but the Department for Education declined to comment on the increase in charges.
Universities Minister Jo Johnson says that more disadvantaged students than ever are going to university.
The study from the IFS compares England's current student finance system introduced in 2012, where fees were raised to £9,000, with the previous system introduced in 2006, when fees were about £3,000.
Because the level at which graduates have to repay also increased, to £21,000, it meant that those with low incomes were initially better off, says the IFS.
But the repayment threshold has been frozen since 2012 - and the IFS report says that graduates on all income levels are now worse off than under the previous fee regime.
Students from disadvantaged backgrounds can borrow more in maintenance support - but because these are now loans rather than grants, it means that the poorest students will leave with the highest debts.
The increase in interest rates and tuition fees going up to £9,250 per year will push up the cost of loans for all graduates - and higher earners will pay interest of £40,000 on top of the amount borrowed.
Mr Belfield says the 6.1% being charged on loans is "very high compared with current market rates".
But if loans are not repaid after 30 years, they are written off - and the IFS forecasts that about three-quarters of students will not pay off all their debt, despite making payments from their earnings into their 50s.
The government also wants to sell off student loans to private investors - with some pre-2012 loans having already been put up for sale.
The report says there have been two main beneficiaries from the current fee system - universities and the government's finances.
Universities have increased per-student funding by 25% since fees rose to £9,000, says the IFS, after taking into account the money they no longer receive directly from the government.
Last week, Mr Johnson warned against university leaders being paid excessive salaries - with some vice-chancellors earning over £400,000.
Replacing grants with loans and freezing the earnings threshold for repayment has made the system less expensive for the government.
The IFS says that the lowest-earning third of graduates are paying 30% more than in 2012, when the £21,000 threshold was introduced.
The switch in costs to students will mean cutting government borrowing by £3bn in the long term.
Tuition fees became a high-profile issue during the general election - with Labour promising to scrap tuition fees.
The big swing to Labour in university seats was seen as suggesting that young people were concerned about tuition fees - and plans for them to begin rising each year.
Senior Conservative minister Damian Green, speaking last week, recognised that fees had become a big issue, particular for young voters, and that universities needed to show they were providing value for money.
The IFS analysis says scrapping tuition fees would cost £11bn per year. But it also warns that continuing on the current trajectory of "high debts, high interest rates and low repayment rates" would mean problems both for "graduates and the public finances".
The report says that the overall trend has been to increase university funding, reduce government spending on higher education, "while substantially increasing payments by graduates, especially high-earning graduates".
Labour's shadow education minister, Gordon Marsden, said: "This report shows that any argument that the current fee system is progressive is absolute nonsense.
"From scrapping the maintenance grant to freezing the repayment threshold, this government has increased the debt burden of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, who will graduate with debts in excess of £57,000."
"Under the Tories, student debt continues to rise with no end in sight, and students in the UK will now graduate with a shocking average of over £50,000 in debt."
Mr Johnson said: "The government consciously subsidises the studies of those who for a variety of reasons, including family responsibilities, may not repay their loans in full.
"This is a vital and deliberate investment in the skills base of this country, not a symptom of a broken student finance system.
"And the evidence bears this out: young people from poorer backgrounds are now going to university at a record rate - up 43% since 2009."

Tests on 1,414 people showed that part of the immune system - called T-cells - was able to attack regions of the virus that were common to many different strains of flu.
The team at University College London says it may be possible to develop a "universal flu vaccine".
However, virologists warned flu was an expert at mutating.
The body produces antibodies in response to an infection or flu vaccine that bind to the surface of a virus.
But flu is skilled at changing its appearance and rendering antibodies useless, which is why a new flu vaccine is needed each year.
T-cells are a different weapon in the immune system.
They are able to target the hidden parts of flu, which change less frequently.
This means that after being exposed to one strain of flu, people may have resistance to other strains too.
Tests on nearly 1,500 unvaccinated people over the course of four years indicated 43% had "cross-protection" to seasonal and pandemic flus.
The data was published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
However, the flu vaccines given to adults do not generate a T-cells response, meaning a new type of vaccine is needed.
Prof Andrew Hayward, from University College London, told the BBC News website that developing a T-cell vaccine for flu could protect against a wide range of strains - a "universal flu vaccine".
He said: "It may increase the level of protection we can give to elderly people, who currently often have an immune response to the current vaccine which is not as good as in young people.
"From time-to-time we predict the antibodies that go into the seasonal flu vaccine wrong, so we get a mismatch between the vaccine and the circulating flu."
He said this cross-protection could minimise the impact of such a mismatch and play a role in pandemics when new flu viruses emerged.
"Having a cross-protective vaccine could allow it to be used much earlier in the pandemic and could make a difference it the spread and ultimate size of the pandemic," he added.
Prof Jonathan Ball, from the University of Nottingham, said: "Our immune system deploys two types of weapon to combat viral infections - antibodies and T-cells, and both are important.
"The current study shows that the other arm of our adaptive immune response - the T-cells - might offer some protection against genetically different strains of the virus.
"We know that influenza's response to host immunity is mutation - so, whether or not these findings can be translated into a vaccine that can yield a level of cross-protection that the virus can't escape from is still a big unknown. "

Tottenham, the only team who can pip them to the title, lost ground when they drew 1-1 with West Brom on Monday.
Even if they fail to beat United, the Foxes only need three points from three games to be certain of finishing top.
Spurs are now seven points adrift with three games left, but boss Mauricio Pochettino said: "We still need to believe. We are not going to give up."
Tottenham striker Harry Kane added: "Hopefully Manchester United can do us a favour. It has not gone. We need to keep fighting. All we can do is keep fighting."
Claudio Ranieri's Leicester side started the campaign as 5,000-1 outsiders for the title, having narrowly escaped relegation last season.
They are now 1-16 to claim their first top-flight success after leaving Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and defending champions Chelsea in their wake.
"There's still work to do but, in most people's eyes, it is done and dusted," former Foxes defender Matt Elliott told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Leicester can win the title at Old Trafford... it sounds incredible.
"I'm covering it on the radio and there are three of us going up in the car. If they win, it won't be me driving home."
Former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas said Leicester's title win would be one of the "biggest ever" sports stories.
"Everyone's pinching themselves because it's an unbelievable achievement," the Match of the Day pundit added.
"These players will be legends at Leicester. They will have done it with class and quality and it's good for football. It's a beautiful story."
West Brom manager Tony Pulis told BBC Radio 5 live he wanted the East Midlands club to win the title.
"Leicester is such a wonderful story and I don't think it can happen anywhere else but in this country," he said.
"I just think it's a wonderful, wonderful story, but they still have a lot of work to do."
Leicester, owned by Thai billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, have already qualified for the Champions League for the first time.
They started the season as one of the favourites for relegation, with only the three promoted sides - Watford, Norwich and Bournemouth - longer odds for the title.
Ranieri, who took charge when Nigel Pearson was sacked in the summer, was seen as an uninspired choice by some fans and pundits.
"Claudio Ranieri, really?" tweeted former Leicester striker Gary Lineker after the Italian's appointment.

Match of the Day presenter Lineker has previously suggested his hometown club were on the "edge of sporting immortality" and said it would be the "most unlikely triumph in the history of team sport".
MOTD pundit and former England striker Alan Shearer, who won the title with Blackburn Rovers in 1995, has also described a potential Leicester title victory as "the best story of all time".
If Leicester are to win at Old Trafford, they will have to do so without leading goalscorer Jamie Vardy.
He misses the game after the Football Association gave him an additional one-match ban for improper conduct following his dismissal against West Ham.
A blog report by security expert Brian Krebs has suggested that several of its stores in north-east America have been affected by a breach.
If correct, it would make Staples the latest in an increasingly long line of US retailers to have been targeted by hackers.
The US government has called for a swift move to chip-and-pin technology.
Stores are gradually making the move from using magnetic strip payment cards - the most common form of payment in the US - to the more secure chip-and-pin.
Many are now rushing through the changes following a series of high-profile breaches where hackers have put card-stealing malware on cash registers.
Staples, it seems, could be the latest victim.
Mr Krebs, a US security expert who has written widely on retail data breaches, blogged that bank officials were investigating breaches at Staples stores in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
"Multiple banks say they have identified a pattern of credit and debit card fraud suggesting that several Staples Inc. office supply locations in north-eastern United States are currently dealing with a data breach," Mr Krebs wrote.
Staples said it was investigating the matter.
"Staples is in the process of investigating a potential issue involving credit card data and has contacted law enforcement," company spokesman Mark Cautela said in a statement.
Earlier this month, Sears Holdings said it had discovered that point-of-sale registers at its Kmart stores had been compromised by malicious software.
Fast-food chain Dairy Queen also reported that malware had been installed on cash registers in nearly 400 of its stores.
And, at the end of last year, Target suffered a massive data breach which affected up to 70 million customers.
It has led the US government to call for the widespread adoption of chip-and-pin technology.
"With over 100 million Americans falling victim to data breaches over the last year, and millions suffering from credit card fraud and identity crimes, there is a need to act and move our economy toward secure technologies that better secure transactions and safeguard sensitive data," the Obama administration said in a press release.
The young male hen harrier fledged last summer and was found dead a few months later near Newtonmore.
A number of examinations were done of the carcase, including by a laboratory at Scotland's Rural College.
Scientists identified injuries likely to have been caused by a shot gun. Police Scotland said its enquiries into the case were ongoing.
RSPB Scotland became concerned for the bird, known as Lad, in September last year after its tag indicated that it had stopped moving.
The 26-year-old, who has won 12 international caps for Scotland, has made 81 appearances since joining Sarries from Bedford Blues in 2011.
"I don't think he gets the credit for the wonderful work he can do with and without the ball," director of rugby Mark McCall said.
"His work-rate and contribution to this team is enormous."
Sarries have not disclosed the length of Taylor's new deal at Allianz Park.

A win over France in Vannes on Friday would see England complete the Grand Slam and clinch their first Six Nation's title since 2012.
"It's been a few years since we have been battling it out for the Grand Slam," Croker said.
"We have a new group now, we have rebuilt from the World Cup. Last year and at the beginning of the Six Nations this year people started to write us off.
"But we have really grown as a group and we are hoping to put on a good performance in France."
Now technology is becoming available that aims to help the daily battle to stay on-task.
Will Henshall used to play guitar in R&B band Londonbeat, and, while he would not want to question people's music taste, he has some very fixed ideas about what you should be listening to at your desk.
U2 or Snoop Dog on your playlist? Turn it off immediately if you want to get any work done.
"Those are the two most distracting types of music, and it is no coincidence that they also happen to be two of the biggest selling artists. It turns out that listening to music that you like will distract you," he said.
Working with neuroscientists, Mr Henshall has spent several years exploring which music best engages the parts of your brain that aid concentration.
His research indicated the best music was neutral, something that workers neither liked nor disliked. Music with lyrics was too distracting when compared with instrumental tunes.
The trick, according to Mr Henshall, is to occupy your brain just enough to let you work.
He has gathered a bunch of remixed music together on a website, called focusatwill. Users can choose from 10 categories - including Classical, Ambient, Up Tempo and Acoustic and can set the energy level they want.
"It turns out that the music that works best for you is unique to you," he said.
So far the website has 300,000 subscribers, and, according to Mr Henshall, the average user will engage with the site for seven hours a day.
Users are given a month free trial during which they are given tips to find out what music works best for them, and, if they like the system, can subscribe after that for $5 (£3) a month.
In May the firm launched a channel aimed specifically at people with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
Mr Henshall told BBC: "We live in an always-on world and distraction levels are so high. I'm here now at Venice Beach in California, and everyone is looking at their phones and not the sunset. What's going on with that?
"It is increasingly difficult to concentrate on doing anything. I want to create technology that helps us do stuff rather than wasting time and also helps us get our sense of selves back."
But not all neuroscientists are convinced.
"I'm not aware of any convincing research showing that certain types of music can be beneficial to concentration," Dr Matt Wall, from the Imanova centre for imaging sciences, told the BBC.
"It's true that purely instrumental music is better to have in the background while you're working than vocal music (as it interferes less with verbal working memory), but any old instrumental music will do, and arguably it's better to have nothing at all in the background if you're really trying to concentrate," he added.
Digital Red Bull
Thync is a three-year-old start-up founded by engineering and neuroscience experts from Stanford, Harvard and MIT.
Like focusatwill, it wants to use technology to unlock the power of the mind and has come up with a wearable that it claims can literally alter your mood.
"We can tap into pathways we have inside us and trigger a response - it is tapping into the power of the mind," said Issy Goldwasser, co-founder of Thync.
The system works via a headpiece that is connected to a mobile app via wires - there are no pictures yet as the firm does not want to reveal the product until it is launched in 2015. Details of how exactly it will work were also sketchy.
It may sound like a step too far for many, but investors seem to like the idea - so far it has raised $13m in funding.
Talks with the Federal Drug Administration, not always the easiest regulator to please, are also going smoothly, Mr Issy Goldwasser .
"We are in dialogue with them, and so far things are going well," he told the BBC.
"It is not enhancing you in any way. It is more comparable to having a coffee or a Red Bull," he added.
Some electrical brain stimulation equipment already on the market was recently criticised by scientists from Oxford University.
Writing in the Journal of Neuroscience, Roi Cohen Kadosh warned: "It is not something that people should be doing at home at this stage. I do not recommend people buy this equipment. At the moment it's not therapy, it's an experimental tool."
For Dr Wall, the science behind the product seems solid, but he remains to be convinced about how much help it will be to individuals.
"It's hard to evaluate at the moment, as they haven't actually released a product, or even many details about what the product might actually be," he told the BBC.
"My natural instinct with this is to be sceptical, and cautious. It's true that you can get reliable effects with devices like this in the laboratory, and in some ways they do seem to be able to 'enhance' performance, but the effects are generally quite small."
Advances in understanding how the brain and nervous system works will be responsible for some life-changing technology, according to most experts. But for now, any neuroscience-based spin-off industries remain embryonic.
Neuromarketing - a term coined by the marketing industry to describe firms such as Sensum, which offers to measure emotional responses to content in adverts - is particularly unproven, according to Dr Wall.
"I have a quite sceptical approach to these things and to the whole 'brain training' idea and am generally of the opinion that these products are massively over-hyped," he said.
"Most of these products don't really have any solid data behind them and haven't been convincingly shown to produce the effects they claim."
Lithuania and Poland both issued statements of concern.
Russia has not confirmed the report but insists it has every right to station missiles in its western-most region.
Moscow has long threatened to move Iskander short-range missile systems to Kaliningrad in response to the United States' own European missile shield.
Russia sees the missile shield as a threat to its nuclear deterrent.
It was one of the biggest sources of confrontation between Moscow and Washington during the presidencies of George W Bush and Vladimir Putin.
President Barack Obama tried to "reset" relations with Russia, and the shield system was revised - but it survived in a different form and continued to antagonise Russia.
The US insists that the missile shield is not aimed at Russia but designed to defend Europe from attack from "rogue states" - assumed to include Iran.
A Russian defence ministry spokesman, Igor Konashenkov, did not confirm the report - in the German newspaper Bild - that the Iskander system had been deployed to Kaliningrad.
But he did say: "Iskander operational-tactical missile systems have indeed been commissioned by the Western Military District's missile and artillery forces," adding that Russia's deployment "does not violate any international treaties or agreements".
The Western Military District includes parts of western and north-western Russia, including the Kaliningrad exclave, which is separated from Russia proper and wedged between Poland, Lithuania, and the Baltic Sea.
The Russian newspaper Izvestia reported on Monday that the missiles had already been stationed in the area for more than a year.
Lithuania's Defence Minister Juozas Olekas said: "I am worried about signals that Russia is about to modernise missile systems it has deployed in Kaliningrad.
"Further militarisation of this region, bordering the Baltic states and Nato, creates further anxiety, and we will be watching the situation there closely.''
The Polish foreign ministry said: "Plans to deploy new Iskander-M rockets in [Kaliningrad] are worrying."
It added that such a deployment "would contradict effective Polish-Russian co-operation, in particular with respect to this region, and undermine constructive dialogue between Nato and Russia. We will raise this topic in our bilateral contacts with the Russian side."
They have been used to monitor areas where the birds are being persecuted.
It is thought to be the first time the technology has been used in this way in the United Kingdom.
It follows dozens of cases of poisoning across Northern Ireland over the last few years. According to the PSNI, there were 44 reports of birds of prey being killed illegally between 2009 and 2014.
Several peregrines are lost every year to illegal poisoning, shooting or trapping, said the Northern Ireland Raptor Study Group, which has been helping with the survey work.
The Northern Ireland Environment Agency is overseeing the work, which is part of a wider initiative to protect the nests of peregrine falcons.
The species often raise its young in quarries or on cliff faces.
There are around 80 breeding pairs of peregrines in Northern Ireland, but only about half of them fledge young every year.
While numbers of peregrines have increased in recent years they are still being persecuted, said wildlife officer Jon Lees.
"They can also be disturbed to the point of nest abandonment by people who just want a closer look or a photograph," he said.
PSNI wildlife liaison officer, Emma Meredith, said the drones provided the ability to survey hard-to-reach areas.
She added the new technology means that "there is no hiding place for those who seek to persecute wild birds".
Ms Meredith said the PSNI takes "all types of crimes seriously and this includes wildlife crime such as shooting, poisoning or trapping of birds of prey".
"On occasions, baits (such as a rabbit carcass or sausages) have been laid laced with poison in the public domain," she said.
She added that some of the food left out to poison the birds was found to contain the banned and "seriously dangerous" substance, Carbofuran.
"Be under no illusion, this type of poison is an indiscriminate killer and can also be fatal to humans, not only wildlife suffers but also any child, adult or pet could find and ultimately consume these poisoned baits."
A scheme backed by the government will include alternative job training, replanting projects and microloans.
Mangroves are considered to be one of the world's most at-risk habitats, with more than half being lost or destroyed in the past century.
Conservationists hope other mangrove-rich nations will follow suit and adopt a similar protection model.
Commenting on the agreement, Sri Lanka President Maithreepala Sirisena said: "It is the responsibility and the necessity of all government institutions, private institutions, non-government organisations, researchers, intelligentsia and civil community to be united to protect the mangrove ecosystem."
The Sri Lankan government is a joint partner overseeing the measures, alongside global NGO Seacology, and Sri Lanka-based Sudeesa, which was formerly known as the Small Fishers Federation of Lanka.
'Extreme importance'
Seacology executive director Duane Silverstein said the pioneering framework had "extreme importance as a model" that could be used throughout the world.
"No nation in history has ever protected all of its mangrove forests and Sri Lanka is going to be the first one to do so," he told BBC News.
"This is through a combination of laws, sustainable alternative incomes and mangrove nurseries.
It is also very significant considering the importance of mangroves as a means of sequestering carbon."
"It is not only that mangroves sequester an order of magnitude more carbon than other types of forest, but it is sequestered for so much longer.
"In the case of mangroves, it is forecast that this lasts millennia," he observed.
Mangroves are evergreen trees that are found in more than 120 tropical and sub-tropical nations.
They are able to grow in seawater, and their strong, stilt-like root systems allow them to thrive in swamps, deltas or coastal areas.
The trees sequester the carbon in the top few metres of soil, which is primarily an anaerobic environment - without oxygen.
As a result, the organisms that usually lead to the decomposition of organic material are not present, meaning the carbon remains locked in the environment for longer.
Because of their surrounding habitat and the lack of readily available fuel, mangrove forests are also not susceptible to forest fires.
But mangroves also offer coastal communities a more direct and immediate form of protection, explained Mr Silverstein.
"After the 2004 (Indian Ocean) tsunami, it became evident - particularly in Sri Lanka which was severely impacted - that those villages that had intact mangroves suffered significantly less damage than those that did not.
A report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) published 12 months after the devastating tsunami compared two coastal villages in Sri Lanka that were hit by the wall of water.
It showed that two people died in the settlement with dense mangrove and scrub forest, while up to 6,000 people died in the village without similar vegetation.
"Another advantage of a healthy mangrove ecosystem is that the stilted root systems serve as nurseries for many of the fish species that go on to populate coral reefs.
Healthy fish populations, sustained by healthy mangrove forests, have also provided livelihoods and nutrition for millions of small-scale fishermen and their families for generations, allowing coastal communities to sustain themselves.
Costing livelihoods
Anuradha Wickramasinghe, chairman of Sudeesa, said: "People live in these areas because they depend on the mangroves because a lot of the fish they catch come from mangroves.
But he added: "Shrimp farmers have been either legally or illegally cutting down mangroves.
Farmed shrimps, or prawns, account for more than half of the global demand for the crustaceans.
A UN report published in November 2012 warned that the growing demand for prawns meant that valuable mangrove forests were still being felled or were under threat of being felled.
Mr Wickramasinghe told BBC News: "Shrimp farming results in a significant fall in fish catch yields, so fishermen are losing income so it costs them their livelihoods.
"So they know about the importance of mangroves and they are keen to protect them.
Mr Silverstein hoped the Sri Lanka protection model would be adopted by other nations.
"We absolutely believe that Sri Lanka's mangrove model will serve as a model for other nations to follow."
The scheme, which will cost US $3.4m over five years, aims to protect all 8,800 hectares (21,800 acres) of existing mangrove forests by providing alternative job training, funding microloans to people in exchange for protecting local mangroves forests.
It also involves a replanting project, which aims to replace 3,900 hectares of mangroves that had been felled.

Minorities are becoming an increasingly larger portion of the population that votes in US presidential elections, and those voters overwhelmingly support Democrats.
The numbers speak for themselves. In 2012 Republican candidate Mitt Romney won 17% of the non-white vote - Hispanics, blacks, Asians and others - and 59% of the white vote.
Thanks to population changes in the last four years, if the 2016 Republican nominee maintained that non-white percentage, he or she would have to win about 64% of the white vote, according to Republican pollsters Glen Bolger and Neil Newhouse - a seemingly insurmountable margin.
The last Republican to win a presidential election, George W Bush in 2004, carried 58% of the white vote and 26% of the non-white vote. In 2016 those would be losing numbers.
At the National Urban League's presidential forum, the audience favourite was former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton - and she seemed to feed on the crowd's energy.
If there were some concern that Democrats have been taking the black vote for granted, she wanted the community to know that "your issues are deeply personal to me".
"The real test of a candidate's commitment is not if we come to speak at a national conference, as important as that is, it's whether we're still around after the cameras are gone and the votes are counted."
Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush received polite applause throughout his address.
Unlike Mrs Clinton and the other Democrats who spoke today, he gets points just for showing up before this audience. Most of the other Republicans didn't - only Mr Bush and Ben Carson attended.
He noted his defeat during his first run for governor in 1994 as a key turning point that has made him more sensitive to the concerns of the black community.
"I went through what some people might call self-reflection - I call living and learning," he said.
As It Happened: Candidates court black voters
When political analysts and strategists talk about Republican efforts to reach out to minority voters, the focus of late largely has been on Hispanics. They represent the largest, fastest-growing block of the non-white electorate - 10% of the electorate in 2012 - and they are perceived to be more open to a conservative message because of studies showing them to be more religious, with a high value on tight-knit families.
The politics of the immigration issue - including border security and the status of undocumented workers - have complicated the Republican pitch, however. Candidates like Donald Trump, with his now-infamous line about Mexico sending "criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc" to the US, are taking hard line positions that some fear could alienate Hispanic voters.
"All the Latino friendly Republican candidates in the world may be unable to repair the damage done by a primary that seems set to turn on antipathy toward Hispanic immigrant culture," writes Noah Rothman in an essay in Commentary magazine.
As another option, he argues, Republican candidates should try to make inroads in a voting segment that has turned out in record numbers and voted overwhelmingly for the Democrat in the past two presidential elections - blacks.
That Democrat on the ballot in 2008 and 2012, of course, was Barack Obama - and his status as the first black US president likely explains much of the enthusiasm and support for his campaign.
Mr Obama isn't running in 2016, however, leading Rothman to argue that the black vote represents an "untapped well" for Republicans.
"If Republicans were even modestly successful in appealing to African-Americans, it would make winning elections substantially more difficult for Democratic politicians," he writes.
This may explain why Republican candidates like former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and former Texas Governor Rick Perry are leavening their speeches with talk of broadening their party's appeal and advancing issues they believe will attract blacks voters.
Mr Paul, for instance, calls for creating low-tax, low-regulation "economic freedom zones" in black neighbourhoods, restoring voting rights for convicted felons and reforming a federal prison sentencing system that has been criticised as being unfair to blacks.
Mr Bush has pledged to campaign in places where Republicans rarely appear, such as inner cities and black churches.
"I want to be the candidate who goes into the African-American community and says: 'Join our team because our values are the ones that you share'," Mr Bush said recently in New Hampshire.
In a speech in early July, Mr Perry asserted that Republicans were in part to blame for their party's lack of black support by placing too much emphasis on states' rights.
"There has been, and there will continue to be an important and a legitimate role for the federal government in enforcing civil rights," he said. "When we gave up trying to win the support of African-Americans, we lost our moral legitimacy as the party of Lincoln, as the party of equal opportunity for all."
On Friday Mr Bush - along with fellow Republican Ben Carson, the only prominent black candidate for either party, and Democrats Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders - will travel to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to address the annual conference of the National Urban League, a black civil rights organization. Mr Paul was a keynote speaker at its 2014 gathering.
At the conference on Thursday, attendees and speakers grappled with the upcoming 2016 election and the role that black voters will play. Some of the talk could prove encouraging for Republicans.
"We are a part, as black voters, of a coalition that we've given everything to and can't ask anything from," Van Jones, an environmental activist, lawyer and former Obama adviser, said during a panel on the presidential race. "As long as that's our position, we're going to continue to be mistreated within our own party."
Blacks have been supportive of other Democratic priorities, such as immigration reform, the environment and gay rights, but are being ignored on matters that concern their communities.
"The Obama era of black silence on issues that are important to us is over," he said.
That doesn't necessarily mean good news for conservatives, however. Fellow panellist Angela Rye, a political strategist and former executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus, said after the session that she's seen little from the current crop of Republicans that will appeal to black voters.
"Black folks shouldn't be beholden to the Democratic Party, they should be beholden to their interests," she said. "To me, however, the Republicans are style over substance. Anybody can come up with a good talking point or two. I'd love to see what their real agenda looks like."
These spilt sentiments - a dissatisfaction with the Democratic response to black issues but a lack of trust in a viable Republican alternative - were echoed among many convention attendees.
Ludlow Bailey of Miami said that while Mr Bush was "a balanced guy" and a smart politician, his attempts to reach out to the black community were being drowned out by candidates like Mr Trump.
"Donald Trump is really screwing it up for Republicans," he said, adding that it was not just Hispanics who were being put off by his brash style.
If the black community is in turmoil, that could represent a rare opportunity for Republican candidates to tip the balance a bit more in their favour for the first time in more than a generation.
Toward the end of the day on Thursday, the Reverend Al Sharpton - a long time black activist who has a reputation for brashness himself - pointed out that in 2016 Americans will elect the first white president to follow a black president.
"The bar has been raised higher than it has been before," he said. "After Obama you can not get away with what you got away with before."
That is an opportunity and a challenge - for Republicans and Democrats alike. | Chinese police are investigating four securities brokerage firms for possible stock manipulation amid market turmoil.

It is believed they were trying to cross the Mediterranean to Italy.
Migrant deaths have risen to record levels along this smuggling route in recent months.
A torn rubber boat was found nearby, and it is feared more bodies may surface as such vessels usually carry up to 120 people.
Some of those who died are believed to be children.
A spokesman for the Libyan Red Crescent - the country's Red Cross - said the bodies were retrieved by its workers.
Mohammed al-Misrati said local authorities would take the bodies to a cemetery for unidentified people in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
The Red Crescent posted photographs on its Twitter account showing dozens of body bags along the shore.
The UN's migration agency, the International Organisation for Migration, said the boat that sank had left Libya on Saturday with 110 people on board.
At least 5,000 people drowned last year while trying to reach Europe via the Mediterranean.
Libyan coast guard spokesman Ayoub Gassim said over 500 migrants were rescued at sea on Friday and Saturday near the city of Sabratha, to the west of Zawiya.
The boats were between five and seven miles (8-11km) from the coast of Libya.
Mr Gassim said the smugglers were now using larger rubber boats in order to pack more migrants in, some carrying up to 180 people.
The boats are weak, and loading them so heavily dramatically raises the risk of sinking.
"We are seeing the new boats, which are not equipped with anything, but they carry more people," he said.
"This is going to be even more disastrous to the migrants."
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.
Newport striker Lenell John-Lewis had the best chance of the first half but shot wide from an acute angle.
Veteran Dagenham & Redbridge forward Jamie Cureton had an injury-time shot tipped over the bar by Joe Day.
The draw sees Newport stay at the foot of League Two with just two points from eight games, while the Daggers drop to second bottom.
Dagenham assistant coach Darren Currie told BBC London 94.9:

"With the chances we created, certainly in the second half, we're disappointed to have not scored a goal.
"There were words said at half-time, there was no real urgency in the first half.
"We just played at too slow a tempo and didn't really warrant anything out of the first half."
Newport County manager Terry Butcher told BBC Radio Wales:
"It felt good to get the clean sheet and good to come away and get an away point. We played far better last week and lost so we know we can play better.
"Joe Day made some good saves and they missed some opportunities. We had some reasonable chances in the first half and still looked a threat when we went forward in the second half as the game become stretched.
"It is a good point for us. We put in a gritty performance to grind out a point and that feels good."

The now-defunct Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust previously admitted four charges relating to elderly people who died between 2005 and 2014.
Because the trust is defunct and has no funds the Department of Health will pay the fine and costs of £35,000.
A spokesman expressed the trust's "sincere contrition and remorse".
The judge at Stafford Crown Court likened the penalty for an organisation with no funds to a "financial revolving door".
Earlier in the the case, brought by the Health and Safety Executive, the court was told the trust's inadequate measures to protect patients caused the deaths of Lillian Tucker, Ivy Bunn and Patrick Daly.
Mrs Tucker, 77, was injected with penicillin despite her and her relatives' repeated warnings that she was allergic to the antibiotic, the court heard.
Mrs Bunn, 90, and 89-year-old Mr Daly died after suffering falls following poor care, including failures to carry out risk assessments and put in place control measures.
A fourth vulnerable patient - 83-year-old Edith Bourne - also died following a fall but pathological evidence could not conclusively connect mistakes in her care to her death.
Mr Daly died a fortnight after the trust was fined £200,000 for failing diabetic patient Gillian Astbury.
She died at the hospital in April 2007 after not being given insulin.
The special administrator of the Mid Staffordshire trust, Tim Rideout, said: "On behalf of the trust I would like to apologise unreservedly for the shortcomings which have come to light and to place on record our sincere contrition and remorse.
"Today, Stafford Hospital, now named County Hospital, is run by a different organisation entirely, providing very different services."
The dog, described as a Staffordshire bull terrier, barked at swans in Brookfield Park, Littlehampton, before leaping over a fence and attacking one.
The cob swan suffered serious injuries to its face and had to be put down.
A £500 reward for information which leads to a conviction has been offered by the Worthing and District Animal Rescue Service.
Sussex Police said swans had inhabited the pond for about 10 years and had recently hatched six cygnets.
Police community support officer Andy Orpin said the attack, which happened at about 08:00 BST on Saturday, had upset a lot of people in the community and left a family of swans without the protection of its cob.
"This really highlights the consequences of dog owners not maintaining control of their pets when using the park.
"If the people involved in this incident are located, we will consider prosecution," he said.
The owner of the dog was described as a white female, in her early 30s, of medium build, and with long blonde hair.
She was wearing a pink T-shirt and blue jeans.
Police said she had tried to get the dog to come out of the fenced area to prevent the attack but was unable to do so.
"'You are crazy', I told them," the new Caf president told BBC Sport.
A few months on, the 57-year-old holds the future of the African game in his hands.
He sent shockwaves throughout Africa on Thursday when managing what no one else ever had - beating Issa Hayatou, who took power in 1988, in a Caf election.
Prior to announcing his candidacy in January, few had ever heard of Ahmad.
But the reason he was approached by 15 or so FA presidents from across the continent - first in May, and then again in September (when the seed started to germinate) - was because he was on the Executive Committee (ExCo).
And after Hayatou oversaw a rule change in 2012, seen by many as a plot to prevent a rival seeking his job, only voting members of the ExCo can run for the presidency.
So who exactly is Ahmad, what does he hope to achieve during his four-year spell in charge and how did he rise to power?
Firstly, Ahmad - who goes by just the one name - once played and coached in Madagascar's top division.
After quitting football, he ultimately ventured into politics - holding positions as his country's minister of sport, and then of fisheries - before becoming a parliamentary senator, a role he still holds today.
After becoming Madagascar FA president in 2003, he was elected onto Caf's ExCo ten years later - before, in January, he confirmed rumours by announcing he was challenging Hayatou.
"At the beginning, I heard the comments of people - 'he's nothing, he's like a joke,'" he told BBC Sport.
Today, the 'joker' is king and holding all the aces.
Ahmad wants improved governance, greater transparency and to develop African football from the grassroots up.
"The first thing is reform of administration: good governance, financial transparency and to redistribute the Caf money - not only keep it in the office," he told BBC Sport.
As Caf revealed on Thursday, its finances are healthy - with $108m in cash and $131m in equity.
For cash-strapped Malawi, who briefly withdrew from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations because of financial concerns, the redistribution cannot come soon enough.
"The member associations will now have a chance to enjoy the wealth that Caf has had all these years," Malawi FA boss Walter Nyamilandu told BBC Sport.
"We have been marginalised, suffering a lot, paying a lot of expenses for our national teams and exerting unnecessary pressure on our governments. It is now time to be inclusive."
Ahmad also wants to reorganise Caf's competitions, which could mean the expansion of many, including the flagship Nations Cup - 'an idea,' admits Ahmad.
Under Hayatou, secrecy was the watchword when it came to financial dealings but Ahmad's stance is entirely in contrast.
'All contracts signed by Caf will be officially published and their amounts communicated by media releases,' his manifesto boldly pledged.
'Caf will be fully transparent with regards to finances, management and its competitions. Nothing will be hidden or covered during my mandate.'
With that in mind, the BBC can reveal that a Caf insider says the eight-year deal signed with energy company Total last year is worth 'about $190m.'
Having declared that long-term contracts should be 'banished,' could Caf's agency deal with Lagardere - worth a whopping $1 billion to the African football body, and which runs from 2017-2028 - be at risk?
"I can't talk about that because I've never seen the contract. I have to look at all of this," he said on Friday. "My duty is to protect the interest of Caf."
Following his election, Ahmad said his first step would be a thorough managerial and financial audit of the Cairo-based organisation.
To develop the African game to its ultimate potential, he wants to open talks with a range of personnel - 'legends, stars, coaches, referees' etc. - boost women's and youth football as well as, among other measures, stop the talent drain of Africans overseas.
Crucially, with half a dozen of Ahmad's supporters elected onto a new-look ExCo in place of Hayatou's men, the Malagasy has the backing to push through his reforms.
He succeeded because of an overwhelming desire for change among the voters and, says Ahmad, 'government authorities' too.
So long had Hayatou's reign - encompassing 29 of Caf's 60 years - been that the hashtag 'Hayatoumustfall' circulated on social media.
Yet had Gianni Infantino not won last year's Fifa presidential elections, beating Sheikh Salman of Bahrain - who Caf had publicly asked its members to support, Ahmad may not even have run.
"It's one of the arguments that pushed me to go for this election," he told me on Tuesday.
Infantino emerged as a potential kingmaker when attending a party in Harare hosted by Ahmad's campaign manager Phillip Chiyangwa, in what was seen as a sign of support for Hayatou's rival.
"(Infantino) could not go back and support people who did not support him (in the 2016 Fifa elections) - it doesn't make sense," Dennis Idrissa, one of Ahmad's campaign team, told BBC Sport.
"But he did not interfere - he stayed as the president - but in his heart, he liked change."
Members of Hayatou's camp have argued otherwise. Infantino has denied any collusion.
Just like the latter's speech which swayed many voters in Fifa's presidential elections of February 2016, Ahmad spoke in various languages while also promising more cash to member associations (and business class travel) as he addressed delegates before the vote.
"It was a statement full of promises," said Lesotho's Khiba Mohoanyane. "Ahmad's speech changed the mood of the house."
Minutes later, a campaign full of twists and turns - threats and accusations - ended in a 34-20 win for the Malagasy.
Perhaps fittingly, the last man to vote was Zimbabwe FA boss Chiyangwa , who is also president of southern African football region Cosafa.
Cosafa led the call for change and one wonders what would have happened had outgoing president Suketu Patel, a Hayatou ally down the years, decided to contest Cosafa's elections in December - since his absence ultimately handed Chiyangwa a platform upon which he screamed for change.
Will the Egyptian legal case against both Hayatou, 70, and secretary general Hicham El Amrani quietly fade away?
Brought by the once little-known Egyptian Competitions Authority, Caf has firmly dismissed allegations its deal with Lagardere broke the country's anti-monopoly laws.
In a statement earlier this week, the African football body accused Egyptians of trying to tarnish Hayatou's reputation in the run-up to the vote. Whatever the truth, the Cameroonian has now gone.
In one small way, Ahmad can already claim to wield more power than his predecessor.
After Zanzibar was voted in as Caf's latest full member, Africa now has 55 votes at Fifa - so enlarging its status as the most powerful continental voting bloc in world football.
Finally, one thing about his reign is absolutely certain.
He won't be around for three decades since a recent rule change means the maximum tenure for a Caf president is now three terms - or twelve years.
Paul Wilcox, originally from Warwickshire, sustained severe injuries on his right leg at the popular tourist destination in New South Wales.
A swimmer brought him in to the beach but he was pronounced dead.
Beaches in the area have been closed for 24 hours and people have been warned to stay out of the water.
Mr Wilcox, a British information technology specialist, had been living in Australia for more than 10 years.
"At 10:45 police and paramedics were called to Main Beach after reports of a shark attack," New South Wales police said in their initial statement.
"He was in the water when he was bitten. He was seen floating in shallow water, close to the shore line, and dragged onto the beach. An ambulance was called and he was pronounced dead a short time later," the statement said.
Police said Mr Wilcox's wife was watching from the shore, ABC reported.
Witness Mark Hickey said he tried to help.
"I saw what looked like seaweed but it was blood in the water," he said. "I didn't know it was a person but when I realised, I ran out and waded to the bank and grabbed him and did CPR but it was too late."
He told local media he saw a "six or seven foot" shark in the water.
Rescue organisation Surf Lifesaving Australia said the beach was not supervised at the time of the attack as it had occurred a week before seasonal duties.
"At the council's request, lifeguards will be on duty for at least the next 24 hours ensuring the water remains clear," it said in a statement.

There have been several shark attacks off Australia's beaches in recent years.
In April, a woman was killed as she swam off Tathra beach, also in New South Wales.
The Western Australia government, meanwhile, has ordered a cull of sharks, following at least six fatal attacks off the state's beaches in three years.
Baited hooks have been installed off Perth's popular beaches. Any shark more than three metres long - which could include Great White, Tiger and Bull sharks - will be shot.
The controversial move prompted thousands of people to take part in protests against the culls.
The victory was Bury's third in their last four games and saw them put further daylight between themselves and the League One drop zone.
The Addicks thought they had grabbed a seventh-minute lead, only for Patrick Bauer to see his strike cancelled out for a foul on Leon Barnett.
Stephy Mavididi flashed a low drive just wide as the hosts continued to press, but it was Bury who broke the deadlock in the 21st minute after Charlton failed three times to clear their lines before Lowe converted from 10 yards.
Lee Novak came agonisingly close to restoring parity with a header which cannoned back off the crossbar and the striker was denied again moments later by the quick-thinking of Joe Murphy.
Barnett cleared the danger from Mavididi's deflected shot, while Charlton keeper Declan Rudd had to be alert to push behind Hallam Hope's volley at the other end.
An unmarked Novak really should have done much better with his header after getting on the end of an inviting Ricky Holmes cross as Charlton continued to push for an equaliser.
Bury were a threat going forward as well though, and Greg Leigh produced a decent save from Rudd before Jacob Mellis blazed over from the rebound.
Tony Watt's 87th-minute curler tested Murphy but Charlton could not find an equaliser and Bury almost added a second deep into stoppage time when George Miller's shot was somehow kept out by Rudd.

It happened on the Glen River Valley side of Slieve Comedagh shortly after 14:00 BST on Sunday.
Mourne Mountain Rescue team and an ambulance service paramedic helped the man and his partner who was stranded on a ledge above.
The man was taken to a hospital in Belfast and treated for injuries to his legs, pelvis and ankles.
His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Fighting first broke out in December 2013, when President Salva Kiir accused his former deputy Riek Machar of attempting a coup, which he denies.
The UN's aid chief in South Sudan, Toby Lanzer, said the conflict had now resumed in the oil-rich Unity state.
Areas around the regional capital, Bentiu, were worst-hit, he said.
Mr Lanzer added that the fighting was taking place at the peak of planting season, when people need to move around the region to help make a living.
Mr Kiir and Mr Machar signed a ceasefire deal in January this year, but violence has continued in parts of the country.
The UN estimated 10,000 people have been killed and another 1.5 million displaced since the conflict began.
Mr Kiir's term as president ends in July, four years after South Sudan gained independence to become the world's newest country.
The Reuse shop at Wrexham Industrial Estate sells cast-offs dumped at the area's three recycling centres.
A similar site in Neath Port Talbot is saving about 10 tonnes of items a month from landfill or recycling.
Meanwhile, Monmouthshire council plans to open a reuse facility at its Llanfoist depot, near Abergavenny.
It intends to give an array of items, including architectural and building materials, a "second chance" while the Wrexham shop is selling furniture, china, toys, bikes and games.
"You'll be gobsmacked by what people throw away," said Mac Kendrick, manager at the household recycling site in Wrexham.
"There is treasure here. There is always the opportunity to find something of value."
Staff and volunteers from Wrexham's Nightingale House Hospice will run the Reuse shop seven days a week.
It will split the profits with partner FCC Environment, which manages waste and recycling operations on behalf of Wrexham council as well as running other Reuse shops at waste and recycling sites around the country.
Items saved from the skips at those sites include musical instruments, antiques, war-time memorabilia and a human skeleton that was formerly used as a medical teaching aid and which has since been given a new home.
Nightingale House managers are hoping the shop will boost its funds as it has to raise £2.8m a year to cover the hospice's running costs.
Retail development manager John Donnelly said he was no longer surprised by the things people threw away as the hospice had been running its own charity shops for more than 20 years.
FCC Environment helped to set up a Reuse shop at Briton Ferry with local charity Enfys Foundation and Neath Port Talbot council.
Charity co-founder Richard Gaunt-Morris said it was selling in excess of 10 tonnes of goods a month which, in turn, enabled it to provide support to homeless people since it opened in 2013 at the household waste and recycling centre.
"It added a whole new dimension to our charity," he said, adding the charity has to log the weight of goods saved from landfill or recycling as part of its arrangement with the council.
Other local authorities are running similar services to meet the Welsh Government's zero landfill waste target by 2050.
The amount of waste being recycled across Welsh councils hit 60% in the 12 months to the end of March, although the target for 2015-16 was 58%.
It rises to 64% by 2020 and 70% by 2025.
Swansea council runs an online "Swap Shop" for people to trade unwanted goods as well as a "Corner Shop" at its household waste recycling site at Llansamlet, with money going to educational projects.
In Carmarthenshire, a council project is reusing faulty washing machines by turning the drums into planters and selling them on.
Boss Nigel Williams said it was a welcome move as the price of scrap metal had fallen heavily in the last 12 months.
He said it was also providing training and qualifications for people using the council's mental health and learning disabilities service.
Meanwhile, FRAME (Furniture Recycled and Managed Effectively) has been running since 1994 in Pembrokeshire and now has a council contract to deal with householders' bulky waste, as well as saving items dumped at the county's recycling sites.
Last year, Nightingale House Hospice shop volunteers found a 1837 Welsh Bible among a bag of donated items.
David Higgs was spared prison, which was the fate of his boss.
Higgs pleaded guilty in 2012 to a conspiracy charge, was ordered to forfeit $900,000 (£530,000) to the government and pay a $50,000 fine by a judge in New York.
It is one of the few US criminal prosecutions stemming from the financial crisis.
Another trader with the bank, Salmaan Siddiqui, also pleaded guilty in 2012 and is due to be sentenced this month.
Higgs provided "extremely substantial assistance" after agreeing to co-operate with prosecutors.
Higgs's former boss Kareem Serageldin entered his own guilty plea in April 2013 and was sentenced in November to two and a half years in prison.
Prosecutors said that Higgs's co-operation helped build a case against Serageldin and may have encouraged Siddiqui to plead guilty.
They also credited Higgs, a UK national, for his "extraordinary decision" to voluntarily travel to the US to plead guilty.
Prosecutors accused the three men of mispricing bonds secured against the value of mortgages between August 2007 and February 2008, as housing and credit markets were in decline.
Prosecutors said at Serageldin's sentencing that his book was overstated by $100m.
Credit Suisse was not charged and co-operated with investigators.
Deborah Mattinson completed voter research to feed into Dame Margaret Beckett's report, but says her evidence was not published.
Ms Mattinson told BBC Sunday Politics she was "very concerned" lessons from the election would not be learned.
Labour said the Beckett report had "consulted far and wide".
Ms Mattinson, whose research was conducted in marginal constituencies such as Croydon, Watford, Nuneaton and Glasgow, insists she had briefed Dame Margaret before the release of her report.
"I was somewhat disappointed not to see some of that reflected back," she said. "Yes, she picked up on the economy, but there actually was no analysis. It's reduced down to one bullet point in the report."
She added that it was "quite apologetic, lots of defensive stuff in there but nothing that really shone a light on what had gone wrong".
"I feel very concerned that these lessons won't be learned," she said.
"I can't see how they will be learned, because [the report] was the vehicle, that was the moment and if this report didn't address those issues then I am not sure when they will be addressed."
She added: "No political party has a divine right to exist and unless Labour really listens to those people it must persuade, it stands no chance of winning the next election."
The report did say that Labour faced a "huge challenge" to win again in 2020.
Overseen by the former Cabinet minister, Dame Margaret, it summarised four main reasons for Labour's defeat, indicating:
The report also said assumptions that Labour lost the election because it was too left-wing and because its policies were unpopular was overly simplistic and should be treated with caution, adding that the manifesto was an "impressive document."
Labour said the Beckett report had "consulted far and wide", taking input from pollsters, pundits and academics.
The test mine was discovered during dredging work in the main shipping channel off Southsea on Sunday, the Royal Navy said.
Brittany Ferries were stopped for two hours from about 19:00 GMT while navy divers inspected the mine.
After the device was confirmed as non-viable and used for training ferries were allowed to start running again.
Several devices have been found in the harbour since dredging work started in September.
Last month, what was believed to be a German SC250 bomb containing 290lb (131kg) of explosives was found.
Dredging is being carried out to deepen and widen a four-mile (7km) channel to allow the the navy's new 65,000-tonne aircraft carriers to dock.

Calle Jarnkrok opened the scoring for the hosts at Bridgestone Arena before Sidney Crosby equalised for Pittsburgh.
Frederick Gaudreau and Viktor Arvidsson then struck for Nashville in the second period, before Filip Forsberg fired into an empty net late on.
Predators goaltender Pekke Rinne made 23 saves to secure back-to-back victories over the defending champions.
Nashville are playing in their first Stanley Cup final since their inception in 1998.
Game five takes place in Pittsburgh on Thursday (01:00 BST on Friday).
Prior to the game, Predators coach Peter Laviolette asked fans to stop throwing dead catfish onto the ice - a tradition that dates back to 2003.
Instead, a catfish wearing a blue hat, wrapped in a Predators towel and with a toy penguin stuffed in its mouth was thrown onto the ice before the start of the game.
Staff also had to clear other catfish off the ice during the game.
Five were thrown during Nashville's 5-1 victory in game three, while play was delayed to remove a catfish in game one at Pittsburgh's PPG Paints Arena.
Cullen, who has scored 32 times in 79 games for GB, retired after winning Olympic bronze at her home Games.
The 29-year-old has been working in Kenya since 2012 but will join the squad for an autumn training camp,
Britain's women won their World League semi-final in Valencia last month to reach the 2016 Rio Olympics.
"I am excited about the opportunity to return to international hockey and to have a chance once more to compete for a place in the Great Britain Squad," said Cullen.
GB coach Danny Kerry said the return followed a conversation with Cullen in May.
"She will be returning to the Great Britain squad at our training venue at Bisham Abbey for an extended period of assessment through October and November," he said.
"If successful in that assessment period, Crista will be offered a place within the wider squad of athletes as they continue preparations towards the Rio 2016 Olympic Games."
Many of the GB side will be playing when England and Scotland are among the teams competing in the European Hockey Championships being held at Lea Valley and London's Olympic Park from 21-30 August.
The eggs are in a nest on the ledge of the Newton Building at Nottingham Trent University which is being filmed by a Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust webcam.
A wildlife trust spokesman said the eggs were the first in the East Midlands so far this year.
Falcons have been nesting on the building for about 13 years, he said.
"It is always great news that a pair are back using the nest site - it is so important to have such a long successful nesting site," trust spokesman Erin McDaid said.
Peregrine falcons are a protected species and cannot be trapped or shot. A male peregrine falcon found dead at Derbyshire Wildlife Trust's headquarters in Belper earlier this year had been shot in the shoulder, tests revealed.
The Nottingham birds are the first in the East Midlands to lay, beating pairs nesting on cathedrals in Derby and Norwich, Mr McDaid said.
"We have had a huge level of interest on social media over the weekend so it looks like the pair will have a huge following again this year.
"It is great to see them back and see them using the nest. We just have our fingers crossed that the eggs haven't arrived too early."
Three chicks died on the same site in 2012 after severe cold weather.
Met Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said the activity would be led by Portuguese police with the involvement of British officers.
Madeleine was three years old when she went missing from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal in May 2007.
Scotland Yard launched a fresh investigation last July.
Mr Rowley did not give details about what the next phase would involve, but said officers were working through every credible line of inquiry as part of the "slog of a major investigation".
He said: "It's something that you would expect in any major inquiry.
"A thorough serious crime investigation works systematically through all the credible possibilities, and often in an investigation you will have more than one credible possibility.
"Therefore just because we're doing a substantial phase of work in the forthcoming weeks doesn't mean that it's going to immediately lead to answers that will explain everything."
The Metropolitan Police's relationship with officers in Portugal was working well, he added.
Scotland Yard's investigation - codenamed Operation Grange - came two years into a review of the case.
In March, British police said they were seeking an intruder who sexually abused five girls in Portugal between 2004 and 2006.
Detectives say the attacks happened in holiday villas occupied by UK families in the Algarve.

The £365m Pen-y-Cymoedd farm is being built between Neath and Aberdare by Swedish developers Vattenfall.
The company said the breakthrough was "one of the biggest boosts this decade to delivering Wales' green energy targets".
The 250 megawatt, 76-turbine scheme is set for completion early in 2017.
Lesley Griffiths, the Welsh Government's Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs, said the development was "great news".
"Supporting the development of more renewable energy projects is a key priority for the Welsh Government and this marks progress towards our goal of reducing our greenhouse emissions by at least 80% by 2050," she said.
City manager Pep Guardiola has been interested in the Brazilian for some time and made room in his squad by releasing Willy Caballero on Friday.
After Sunday's 2-1 Portuguese Cup final win against Vitoria Guimaraes, Ederson, 23, said he had "probably" played his last game for the club.
Guardiola is also understood to be interested in Monaco and France full-back Benjamin Mendy, 22.
After failing to win a trophy in his first season as City boss, Guardiola is planning big changes this summer.
The Spaniard made his first move of the summer with the £43m signing of Monaco's Portuguese playmaker Bernardo Silva on Friday.
Caballero is one of five out-of-contract players already released by City.
Striker Kelechi Iheanacho has been the subject of a bid from West Ham and the futures of the four players that Guardiola allowed to leave the Etihad Stadium on loan last season - Joe Hart, Samir Nasri, Wilfried Bony and Eliaquim Mangala - is uncertain.
Ederson's arrival will place more pressure on Claudio Bravo.
The Chilean had a torrid time after arriving from Barcelona to take over from Hart as City's number one, but made a succession of mistakes before losing his place to Caballero in January.
Although the 34-year-old was recalled for the win against Hull on April 8, Bravo's season ended just under three weeks later when he suffered a calf injury in the goalless draw with Manchester United.
Nel missed all three of Scotland's Tests last autumn and was in rehab throughout the Six Nations.
But the 31-year-old returned against Italy in Singapore on Saturday.
"There was doubt, definitely," he told BBC Scotland. "Saturday was quite emotional just being back on the pitch. Just realising I had a second chance."
Having initially injured his neck in October and damaged it again in January, Nel was concerned he might have to retire.
"There were times when I thought 'maybe let's just cut it now', especially the second time it happened," he said.
"I missed eight months and I now feel like I can go on for another five or six years."
Nel lasted 50 minutes of the 34-13 win over Italy in a satisfying return to Test rugby after what has been a difficult time.
His first neck injury came in October in a European Challenge Cup game against Harlequins.
He was out injured for two months. His return came in January, in the rematch with Harlequins, and it lasted less than half an hour.
Nel suffered damage to the intervertebral disc in his neck and needed surgery.
It removed any hope of him playing in the Six Nations and, as a consequence, his chances of being selected for the British and Lions.
Before injury befell him, he was deemed a certainty to be part of Warren Gatland's squad.
"It wasn't the easiest eight months, but it's a contact sport and you can't chose when you want to be injured," said Nel, who is a wily tutor for young Scotland tight-heads Zander Fagerson and D'Arcy Rae.
"Mentally, it was really tough, but it's made me strong as well. It was hard to watch the boys playing and not be a part of it, although it was nice to see the likes of Zander coming in.
"The biggest low was when it happened the second time against Quins. You build up to something and think you can crack on and it didn't last.
"You know there's something wrong and something must be done. That's the mental bit.
"The specialist was quite confident and said: 'No, let's give this an opportunity, let's fix it'."
Nel had surgery soon after and is now back in the fold. Saturday was his 16th cap.
"It meant a lot to me," he said. "Just to get that game under my belt and be back with the boys was awesome."
Scotland have arrived at their base in Sydney. They're in the beachside resort of Coogee and overlook the Bay.
On Monday, they took a dip in the waters that were practically freezing compared to the oppressive heat of Singapore. On Saturday, they play the Wallabies.
Nel missed the November near-miss against Australia at Murrayfield but was heavily involved in the World Cup quarter-final the year before.
That too ended in a thrilling one-point victory for the Wallabies.
The prop stressed that their hosts still possess their usual threat in the backline but said their traditional weakness, their scrum, has improved vastly in the last couple of seasons.
"They've come a long way with their pack," he added. "Always, when you analysed them, you would look at how they attacked, but you really must look at their set-piece now.
"Their scrum has definitely improved. It's going to be a difficult challenge. But, come Saturday, we'll take it on."
After a goalless draw in the first leg, Real took the lead when Gareth Bale's cross deflected off City's Fernando.
Fernandinho clipped the post in a rare City chance, but Real dominated as Bale hit the bar and Joe Hart saved from Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Real saw out the win to meet Atletico Madrid in the final later this month.
The English side knew they potentially only needed one away goal to progress, but appeared reluctant to go for broke in the final stages - despite being encouraged to attack by the vocal 4,500 away supporters.
The home side's only other moment of concern came in the closing minutes when Sergio Aguero's speculative effort flew on to the roof of the goal.
Now they will meet Atletico at Milan's San Siro on 28 May, in a repeat of the 2014 final which Real won 4-1 after extra-time.

City started the second leg knowing there would be no potentially awkward meeting with incoming manager Pep Guardiola in the final, his Bayern Munich side having fallen in their last-four tie against Atletico on Tuesday.
Now Pellegrini, like his Spanish successor at Bayern, will end his three-year reign without a dream goodbye in the San Siro.
Nevertheless, the Chilean will always be remembered for taking the Blues into the Champions League knockout stage for the first time.
Pellegrini finally succeeded where predecessor Roberto Mancini failed, but City's demanding owners will be expecting Guardiola to take their club into the latter stages as a minimum requirement.
Judging by their performance over the two legs against Real, the former Barcelona coach may decide his inherited squad needs an injection of world-class talent to regularly compete with Europe's elite.
For large periods, City lacked pace and energy against the Spanish title hopefuls - and, crucially, offered little attacking threat.
Key centre-back Vincent Kompany's early departure through injury left them lacking defensive organisation, while Yaya Toure's return failed to add any intensity to a midfield lacking bite in the Bernabeu.
And mustering only one shot on target in each leg was a telling statistic.
City suffered a cruel blow inside the opening 10 minutes when skipper Kompany trudged off, a familiar sight this season.
The Belgium centre-half's miserable luck with injuries continues, and the English visitors looked far less assured at the back without their leader.
His departure disrupted an encouraging start by the visitors - and they were punished shortly afterwards.
The away defence, still regrouping, stood off a Madrid attack down the right, allowing Bale to run behind them on to right-back Carvajal's pass and thump the ball in off Fernando's outstretched foot.
Hart rightly described the winner as "lucky", but in truth City could have conceded more over the two legs.
At the Bernabeu, the home players - particularly Bale and the returning Ronaldo - often ghosted between centre-halves Eliaquim Mangala and Nicolas Otamendi too easily.
England keeper Hart, who saved City from losing the first leg, again came to the rescue to give City hope until the final whistle.
Raheem Sterling has struggled to live up to his £49m price tag since arriving from Liverpool last summer, but the England international's introduction as a second-half substitute provided a little more spark for the visitors.
The attacking midfielder was scythed down by home substitute Lucas Vazquez, who lunged in with an awful challenge close to the corner flag.
Vazquez was booked by Slovenian referee Damir Skomina - but was lucky to escape a red card for the 83rd-minute tackle.
Had he been dismissed, the numerical advantage might just have given City a better chance in the final 10 minutes.
While all the pre-match talk centred around the threat to City from Ronaldo, Wales forward Bale again demonstrated his emergence as one of Real's most important players - little over a year after he was jeered by fans.
"I feel like I am maturing," said the 26-year-old, who cost a world-record £85m fee when he joined Real in September 2013.
"My Spanish is getting better and I'm integrating more with the team. I feel like I have turned a corner in that sense and I'm enjoying my football here."
City must put this disappointing defeat behind them and focus on making sure they play in the Champions League under Guardiola next season.
The Blues currently occupy the Premier League's fourth and final qualification spot, four points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United who have played a game fewer.
Pellegrini's side host third-placed Arsenal on Sunday - a key game in deciding the top four.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid have a Spanish title race to concentrate on. Zinedine Zidane's third-placed side trail both Barcelona and Atletico by one point with two rounds of matches left.

Abertawe Bro Morgannwg health board (ABMU) is asking patients for opinions on closing Coelbren Health Centre.
Patients would have to travel to Seven Sisters in Neath Port Talbot - three miles (4.8km) away - but a bus service between the villages has stopped.
ABMU said Powys and Neath Port Talbot councils were working to try and find a solution.
John Brunt, Powys council member for highways, said the route was commercial and the council had no control over it being withdrawn.
Vikki Jones, who lives in the village, said: "It's quite shocking and quite upsetting. People just feel increasingly isolated and forgotten about.
"There's a running joke that we're going to put a 'closed' sign up at the entrance to the village."
An ABMU spokeswoman said Dulais Valley Primary Care Centre, which runs both surgeries, has had issues with GP recruitment and has been unable to provide the full range of services at Coelbren for a year.
She said it was not possible to safely run a main surgery in Seven Sisters and a branch surgery in Coelbren with only two doctors, and efforts to recruit more proving unsuccessful due to a national shortage.
Part of the proposal is to base support services, such as counselling and physiotherapy, at Coelbren.
The spokeswoman added there was low-cost community transport available between the villages.
Ms Jones said she had offered lifts and help to elderly and disabled people in the village.
"We're a community and, if we don't fight together as a community and make our voices heard, we are going to lose these things," she said.
"People are becoming prisoners in their own homes, having to pay £5 each way for a taxi to go to the doctor, if they can get one at all."
The community engagement process began on Thursday and continues until 16 February.
A public meeting is being held at Coelbren Welfare Hall at 11:00 GMT on Saturday, which will be attended by Brecon and Radnorshire AM Kirsty Williams.
Ms Williams said: "It is clearly an extremely difficult time for the community. To lose GP services and a key bus route in such a short space of time will be hugely challenging for many people in Coelbren, and is a prime example of the challenges isolated communities face.
"If people can't see their GP in Coelbren it's absolutely essential transport links are maintained to stop them being cut off and to allow them to see someone nearby".
The prime minister said that "on any reasonable assessment", the government is meeting its carbon reduction and sustainability targets.
He also defended a decision to scrap a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project promised in the Tory manifesto.
He was being quizzed by MPs on the Commons Liaison Committee.
Labour MP Huw Irranca-Davis said everyone from the CBI to accountants Ernst and Young had highlighted how the government was falling behind in this area.
But the prime minister cited research suggesting the UK is second only to Denmark in terms of meeting its commitments.
He said the UK's offshore wind market was the largest in the world and 97% of the solar panels in the UK had been installed since he became PM in 2010.
The SNP's Angus MacNeil asked how the government's domestic energy policies would contribute to the worldwide climate agreement.
Mr Cameron said carbon emissions had fallen by 15% since 2010, funding for low carbon energy was being doubled and the UK was the first industrialised country to phase out coal-fired power stations.
"We have been good to doing what we said we would", he said, adding that his government had a "very good record to speak of".
Mr MacNeil then brought up the decision to abandon carbon capture and storage development projects, saying "one hand of government didn't know what the other was doing".
The PM said it was a collective decision taken by the cabinet, arguing that CCS was not as cost-effective as other technologies and the £1bn earmarked for the schemes could be better spent on flood defences and schools.
He had previously said CCS was "absolutely crucial" for the UK, so the decision to scrap a £1bn competition for a large-scale trial was criticised by the MPs.
CCS is the "Holy Grail" of the fossil fuel industry, the BBC's environment analyst Roger Harrabin says.
If it can be made to work economically at industrial scale, it will capture the emissions from power stations that heat the climate, and bury them deep underground.
That would allow coal and gas to be burned in the low-carbon future deemed essential by all governments at the climate summit in Paris.
Mr Barrow, a property developer, said he did not want to lead a nation that was not at "peace with itself".
Mr Jammeh initially accepted defeat in the 1 December poll but then launched court action to annul the result.
The Gambia has not had a smooth transfer of power since independence.
Mr Jammeh has ruled the West African state since taking power in a bloodless coup in 1994.
It is a popular tourist destination because of its beaches.
The West African regional grouping Ecowas has warned it will send troops to oust Mr Jammeh if he refuses to step down when his term expires on 19 January.
Mr Jammeh says the poll was marred by irregularities and has demanded a new election.
The electoral commission has rejected the allegation and Mr Barrow has said he will declare himself president on 19 January.
In a message posted on social media, he urged "all peace-loving Gambians to advocate, pray and work for a peaceful transfer of executive power for the first time in our history since independence".
"If the colonialists could peacefully hand over executive powers in accordance with the dictates of the people of The Gambia, we, the citizens, should be able to show a better example to our children," he added.
The UN and Ecowas have urged Mr Jammeh to respect the will of the people and step down when his term ends.
Last week, a senior Ecowas official said that neighbouring Senegal's troops were ready to intervene if President Jammeh refused to hand over power.
Mr Jammeh said he would not be intimidated, and Ecowas had no right to interfere in The Gambia's affairs.
During his 22-year rule, Mr Jammeh gained a reputation as a ruthless leader who crushed dissent in the tiny west African nation.
According to the electoral commission's final count:
Results were revised by the electoral commission on 5 December, when it emerged that the ballots for one area had been added incorrectly.

The Commonwealth Games silver medallist suffered head injuries in a motorbike accident in Vietnam on 10 May.
She has been woken from an induced coma and has been showing small signs of recovery in a hospital in Thailand.
Her younger sister, Stacey, told the BBC that she was awaiting news that she is to be flown home.
Their parents, Robert and Alison, are at the hospital in Bangkok where Stephanie is receiving treatment. The family is from Daviot, near Inverness.
Stacey told the BBC she has held off flying to Bangkok because of an expectation Stephanie could soon return to Scotland.
She said her sister's condition had gradually been improving from an initial assessment of having a 1% chance of surviving her injuries.
Stacey said: "The signs showing in the last couple of days are of huge progress. We hope and pray that positive news keep coming, though we try not to get overly excited.
"Both her eyes are nearly now open wide."
She said Stephanie had been able to hold Robert's hand and medical staff were working on getting her limbs and body moving.
Stephanie, 27, had been in Vietnam for four months teaching English to underprivileged children when the accident happened.
It is understood that a long skirt she was wearing, and which she had tied up for the bike journey, became unravelled and caught in the wheel of the motorbike, pulling her off the machine and on to the road.
Centre-back Troy Brown made his first start in three months in the 0-0 draw with Luton, and Ryan Harley was on the bench for the first time this season.
City also expect to have Lee Holmes back for their next League Two game.
"We've got a chance to start putting a run of games together because we should have a full squad back," Tisdale said.
City were hit by a host of injuries at the start of the season and have yet to see summer signing Troy Archibald-Henville take the field.
Ryan Harley has not featured since September and Jordan Tillson and Tom McCready are also out.
Exeter have taken four points from their last two games to move out of the League Two relegation places - and went close to beating current leaders Carlisle before eventually going down 3-2 at Brunton Park earlier this month.
"Troy (Brown) has been out a long time, been training very hard, but he hasn't played a reserve game or even done much off the bench," the Exeter boss told BBC Radio Devon.
"He and Jordan Moore-Taylor looked like they were back to their partnership of old and they looked after the attack of Luton really well.
"It's great to have Ryan Harley back on the bench, so gradually we're getting backing to full fitness."
The Zeppelin, a motor-driven rigid airship, was developed by German inventor Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin in 1900.
Before the outbreak of WWI it had been used for passenger flights, but from January 1915 the zeppelin was pressed into action for bombing missions against the English coastline, with Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn first to be hit.
The huge lumbering airships would appear to us now as easy targets for anti-aircraft weaponry, but even basic weapons were not available to counter the threat until the following year.
Blackouts and evacuations were of the most basic kind, and despite being warned of the raid hours in advance, there was little people could do except wait for the bombs to be thrown from the airships.
On the evening of Sunday 2 April 1916, two German Zeppelins reached the Firth of Forth and set about conducting the first ever air raid on Scotland.
It is thought the Zeppelins were supposed to meet up with two other airships, but one turned back because of navigation problems and the other appears to have got lost and released its bomb load over fields in Northumberland.
The targets for the two airships which did make it to the Scottish coast were probably the docks at Rosyth and the fleet moored in the Forth.
However, the Zeppelins appear to have turned inland to the city to find new targets.
The first reports of bombs exploding in the Leith direction came shortly before midnight.
Over the next 35 minutes, 24 bombs were dropped on the city of Edinburgh. Thirteen people died and 24 were injured in the attack.
Ian Brown, assistant curator of aviation with the National Museum of Scotland, based at the National Museum of Flight at East Fortune airport in East Lothian, says bombs, both high explosive and incendiary, were dropped across a large area of Edinburgh and Leith.
He says: "The idea was to destroy property and set fire to them and cause civilian casualties. Basically their aim was terror attacks."
One bomb fell on a bonded warehouse at Leith, lighting up the whole city. Several others fell along the shore at Leith, one hitting St Thomas's Parish Manse in Sheriff Brae and another falling on a railway siding at Bonnington, where a child was killed.
An empty patch of land at Bellevue Terrace was hit, smashing windows in the surrounding streets.
The fire brigade reported that the bomb left a cavity measuring 10ft by 6ft.
One of the airships then appeared to aim for Edinburgh Castle.
A bomb hit the road by the Mound and another ploughed through the home of Dr John McLaren at 39 Lauriston Place.
The bomb hit the tenement and went through the ceilings and floors of four storeys without injuring anyone.
Hamish McLaren, a retired consultant physician from Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow, is the grandson of the man who owned the house at the time.
He told the BBC that his father, who was just eight in 1916, had been in the house, near Edinburgh Castle.
He says: "I don't know whether they were actually trying to bomb the castle and missed it, or whether they were jettisoning the bombs to get away.
"In the house there was my grandfather and my grandmother, their three children, of which my father was one, and two maids.
"The damage was very extensive.
"The bomb exploded on the roof, blew the roof off, and then the nose of the bomb came down through the four floors of the house and ended up in the pantry."
Mr McLaren says the nose of the bomb was recovered from the basement and is now a family heirloom.
He says: "That's been mounted on a bit of oak, which was apparently from the sideboard that was damaged, and my son has that down in Essex."
Hamish McLaren said his father had written an eye witness account of the raid.
The account says: "They heard the bomb, which was a 100lb bomb, coming, and my father said to my mother, 'this has got us'.
"He was right. The bomb exploded on the roof almost mid-way between number 39, us, and 41, the Skins (School for Children with Skin Diseases) school.
"It blew off most of the roof, blew out all the plate-glass windows, and the nose of the bomb, a large lump of steel, continued through all the floors of the house until it reached the pantry where the stone floor stopped it.
"Needless to say I was awakened by this explosion and I was very frightened but did not cry."
Bombs were falling all over the city during this period.
An explosive bomb fell in the grounds of George Watson's College and an incendiary bomb hit the Meadows.
Other bombs hit Edinburgh Castle rock itself, and there is a plaque high up on the rock which commemorates the spot.
Bombs also struck the Grassmarket, in front of the White Hart Hotel, and the County Hotel on Lothian Road.
Six people taking refuge in the entrance of a "working class tenement" in Marshall Street died when a bomb hit the pavement just outside, the police report said.
And a child was killed and two people injured at a tenement on St Leonard's Hill.
A fire brigade report from the time describes a miraculous escape at a house in Marchmont Crescent.
It says: "An explosive bomb struck the roof and penetrated to the ground floor, through the lobbies of each floor, wrecking the lobbies. This bomb failed to explode."
Mr Brown, from the Museum of Flight, says it appeared from the police and fire reports of the time there were only two high explosive bombs that failed to explode.
He says: "We have one unexploded high-explosive bomb at the National Museum of Flight on display there, kindly loaned by Edinburgh City Museums.
"From these reports I am fairly certain that the bomb we have on display is the one that landed at 30 Marchmont Crescent."

The first attack occurred early on Thursday as an officer was shot for unknown reasons in an industrial plant car park, a sheriff said.
Two officers were then fatally shot at a trailer park while investigating the first incident.
Five people are in custody, some with gunshot wounds, police said. They do not think any suspects are still loose.
The two wounded officers are undergoing surgery at local hospitals, they added.
The two officers who died have been identified as Deputies Brandon Nielsen, 34, and Jeremy Triche, 27.
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has ordered the state flags to be flown at half-staff over the state Capitol and all public buildings and institutions until sunset on Friday.
Sheriff Mike Tregre became tearful during a news conference as he described what happened.
The first shooting occurred around 05:00 (10:00 GMT) in the Valero refinery car park, he said.
Officers investigating the incident tracked reports of a speeding car and ended up in a trailer park.
They handcuffed a suspect and knocked on the door of a trailer when a person with a dog answered, said Sheriff Tregre.
"Another person exited that trailer with an assault weapon and ambushed my two officers," he added. "Two deputies were killed and a third was wounded."
The wounded officers are Michael Boyington, 33, and Jason Triche, 30. The Triches are said to be related.

Sometimes political symbolism is impossible to miss.
For much of this US presidential campaign, the New York real estate mogul turned presidential aspirant has seemed to operate at a different altitude from traditional politicians.
Mrs Clinton has been beset by questions about the propriety of her use of a private email server while secretary of state, for instance, and the story has taken a toll on her standing in the polls.
Mr Trump's candidacy, on the other hand, defies gravity. Despite controversial comments and a history of inconsistency on hot-button political issues - flaws that would sink an ordinary candidate - he continues to thrive, fuelled by a mix of showman's pizzazz and an apparent immunity to outrage from the political and media establishment.
That flamboyant air was on full display on Saturday, as Mr Trump's blue helicopter, emblazoned with his name in big white letters, swooped down onto a baseball field parking lot about half a mile away from the fairgrounds.
Trump popped out, sporting his now trademark "Make America Great Again" hat, and addressed a gathering of several dozen reporters, volunteers and families with children who were drawn to the field with promises of free rides on the Trump-copter.
"I love children. I love Iowa," he said to cheers.
From there it didn't take long for the candidate to display the blunderbuss approach he takes to political rhetoric.
Mrs Clinton has "big problems" when it comes to the email story, he said. "The facts aren't looking good for her right now."
Jeb Bush, who visited the fairgrounds the previous day, was next to be criticised. His attempts earlier in the week to justify the Iraq War were "incredible", Trump said. "It can't be justified."
His calls for the US to have "skin in the game" in Iraq "was one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard".
"The Iraqi officials are a bunch of crooks, if there even is an Iraq, which I don't think there is," he continued.
However, perhaps Mr Trump's most notable line of criticism is also the unlikeliest. As he did during the Republican debate just over a week ago, the billionaire issues a pox-on-both-houses condemnation of big-money involvement in political campaigns.
Mr Trump has pledged to finance his entire campaign using his own money, so he can "do the right thing for America" when he's president.
"I know how the system works better than anybody," he said, adding that he was "one of the greats" at buying political influence.
He calls wealthy campaign donors "sophisticated killers". When they give money to Mr Bush, he says, "they have him just like a puppet, he'll do whatever they want".
Mr Trump is later asked whether he's worried that by constantly boasting of his wealth he'll be painted as an out-of-touch one-percenter, the way Republican nominee Mitt Romney was in 2012.
Mr Romney "wasn't that rich," was Trump's dismissive reply.
For Mr Trump's supporters, his vast wealth - estimated at several billion dollars - is a feature not a flaw. It gives him the freedom to say and act as he pleases.
"Trump adds a new dynamic to the campaign," says Sarah Bowman, who is waiting with her husband and their four children - one sporting a Trump T-shirt and another clutching a small toy helicopter - for Mr Trump's arrival at the ball field.
"He's saying things that people who are too afraid to be politically incorrect aren't saying."
About halfway between the field and the fairgrounds, Betty Tully was also eagerly anticipating Mr Trump's arrival. She had been outside all morning, holding a pink sign offering fairgoers the chance to park in her yard for $5.
When she heard that Mr Trump might pass by her lot on the way to the fair, she wrote: "Trump we love you" on the other side of the sign.
"I'll probably have a heart attack or something if he stops," she said.
"What he thinks and what he says, I love him," she continued. "He's outspoken. Other candidates wouldn't tell you how it is, but he does."
When Mr Trump eventually did make it to the fairgrounds, he was mobbed by the crowd. Hundreds packed into the building that houses the famed Iowa butter cow - a life-sized bovine sculpture made of 600lb (272kg) of butter - where Mr Trump was rumoured to be heading.
Instead, the crowd forces him to stay outside and he buys a box of the same stick-skewered pork chops that Mrs Clinton had sampled just over an hour before.
Inside the pavilion, Vern Engel - who had travelled with his wife from Kansas City, Missouri, to see Mr Trump - is disappointed. He stands by his candidate, however.
"He can do very well for the economy, and he's a very successful guy," he says. "The other politicians are controlled by their handlers. He's not."
Of course Mr Trump isn't the only candidate using fiery rhetoric to denounce what he sees as the scourge of money on political campaigns.
On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders - the Vermont senator who has generated enthusiasm on the populist left and set tongues wagging when he placed ahead of Mrs Clinton in a recent New Hampshire poll - regularly condemns what he views as the undue influence of the "billionaire class" on US politics.
As Mr Sanders was speaking to a crowd of around 1,000, Mr Trump's helicopter passed overhead, taking one of the more prominent members of that billionaire class back to his private jet at the Des Moines airport.
Upon hearing the helicopter rotors, the Vermont senator paused from his speech, looked up and quipped that he left his helicopter at home - although he promised to give children a ride in his rental car if they were interested.
The audience laughed, but for Republicans Mr Trump's presidential bid is no joke. He's pouring resources into Iowa - a sign that he's serious about winning the first-in-the-nation caucuses in February.
"You cannot swing a dead cat in Iowa and not hit a Trump person," a director for a competing campaign told The Washington Post.
Mr Trump may be condemning the outsized influence of cash donations on US campaigns, but he's busy showing just what kind of attention money can buy, helicopter rides and all. | While embattled Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton sampled grilled pork chop on a stick and pressed the flesh with potential voters at the Iowa State Fair on Saturday afternoon, Donald Trump circled overhead in a $7m (£4.5m) helicopter - one of three he owns. | 33,954,271 | 1,513 | 65 | false |
The consortium, which also includes George Taylor and Douglas Park, offered to invest £6.5m in the club recently.
They have bought 13m shares at 20p each and are now the group with the single largest shareholding at the club.
And Laxey have revealed they made the deal in a bid to stop Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley taking control.
Laxey were the largest shareholder in the club but have now sold their stake for almost £2.7m.
And the investment firm's chief Colin Kingsnorth has revealed he sold the shares to Park, Letham and Taylor, who have been labelled the Three Bears, in order to stop Ashley taking over at Ibrox.
Ashley, who owns around 9% of Rangers, has loaned the club £3m in recent months but his plan to use a share issue to increase his stake to just under 30% was rejected by the Scottish Football Association because of his dual interests.
Kingsnorth also admitted his disillusionment with the ruling Ibrox regime after Norman Crighton, Laxey's man on the board, decided to quit earlier this month.
"I sold because a fans-based group were hopefully going to be the best placed to take on Ashley's power," Kingsnorth said.
"After Ashley removed Norman Crighton, Ashley's most vocal critic, it was obvious David Somers [chairman] was just a wet fish agreeing anything Ashley wanted.
"I am sure the Three Bears are an upgrade on us for fans and hopefully this is the start of the ownership being in the right hands."
Rangers recently revealed they need £8m of new funding to stay afloat in 2015.

"I thought the performance was good, it was more like the way we play.
"It gives me a lot of belief looking at the last 15 games because we were excellent today.

"We created opportunities, so from the performance perspective, I'm really pleased, but I'm disappointed with the result."
Jaber al-Bakr, who arrived in Germany as a refugee, was detained in a flat in the eastern city of Leipzig early on Monday. He had been tied up there.
He had sought help from another Syrian, who alerted police after letting Mr al-Bakr sleep at his flat, reports say.
The hunt began after police found very volatile explosives at Mr al-Bakr's flat in Chemnitz, south of Leipzig.
In the initial raid in Chemnitz early on Saturday, Mr al-Bakr, 22, evaded capture as officers fired a warning shot in a botched attempt to stop him.
"The methods and behaviour of the suspect suggest an IS context," said Saxony State Police chief Joerg Michaelis.
He said the suspect had researched bomb-making on the internet. "It is reasonable to assume that an explosives belt was nearly ready, or had been prepared already," he said.
Police found a detonator, explosives and a kilo of chemicals in the Chemnitz flat.
Mr Michaelis said the substance appeared to be TATP, a homemade explosive used in the deadly jihadist attacks in Paris last year and Brussels in March.
How Germany caught elusive 'bomb-maker'
Security sources referred to Mr al-Bakr's apartment as a "a virtual bomb-making lab", and carried out a controlled explosion. German authorities feared a possible plan to target an airport in Berlin.
As the search for the suspect broadened, a police commando unit arrested another man in Chemnitz, blasting open the door of his home.
However, it was not until late on Sunday night that police were given a tip-off from another Syrian man living in Leipzig who had been contacted by Jaber al-Bakr from the city's main station.
At 00:42 on Monday morning, police burst into the flat in the Paunsdorf area of the city and found the suspect already tied up, Germany's Spiegel website reported.
Jaber Al-Bakr came to Germany in February 2015 and was granted asylum in November, German media say. He reportedly had links to the so-called Islamic State group. He is expected to be moved to the city of Karlsruhe later on Monday.
Over a million irregular migrants arrived in Germany last year, many fleeing the conflict in Syria. The BBC's Jenny Hill in Berlin says the latest incident will put pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel to reassure a nervous German public that her decision to allow such large numbers into the country has not endangered the country.
A spokesperson for the German interior ministry said on Sunday: "We can't rule out in Germany such attacks that we've seen lately in France and Belgium."
The Bavarian CSU, allied to Mrs Merkel's ruling centre-right Christian Democrats, called on Monday for stricter security reviews for asylum seekers. The party called on the government to focus "even more intensively" in scrutinising migrants for potential extremists.
The 26-year-old made 35 appearances in the top flight for Angers last term, having previously played for Le Havre, Clermont and Olympique de Valence.
"I hope to play many matches and help the club to the Premier League as soon as possible," he told the club website.
The Championship club have added 10 new first-team players this summer.

Jamila Patel was seen boarding the pedestrian ferry, that runs between John O' Groats in Caithness and Orkney, on 1 or 2 September.
Police said there were concerns for the 41-year-old's well-being.
She is described as Asian, about 5ft 6in tall with a slim build and brown hair.
She speaks with a north west English accent and sometimes wears glasses.
Police Scotland said her black 4x4 vehicle was found parked in John O' Groats.
The record, which recently passed the million sales mark in both the UK and the US, last topped the charts in September and, before that, in June.
It has now spent five non-consecutive weeks at number one.
In the singles chart, Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk claimed the top slot for a fourth week, while dance act Tchami had the highest new entry.
The French producer saw his sparse, soulful club track, Promesses, arrive at number seven.
James Bay, who was declared the runner-up in the BBC's Sound Of 2015 last week, also scored a new entry with the ballad Hold Back The River.
The musician, from Hitchin, climbed from 80 to 36, the Official Chart Company said.
US teen band Echosmith also made their Top 40 debut after their uplifting pop anthem Cool Kids rose to 39 from last week's number 60.
But it was bad news for former X Factor judge Tulisa, whose comeback song Living Without You failed to breach the Top 40.
The single had a strong start to the week, ranking 23rd in the midweek sales update, but dropped out of the countdown by the time the final figures were counted on Sunday.
Similarly, the album chart saw no new entries in the quiet post-Christmas period.
However, Australian pop singer Sia - who has written hits for the likes of Beyonce and Rihanna - saw her album 1000 Forms Of Fear leap from 72 to 15.
The sales boost came in the week she unveiled a controversial new video, which sees actor Shia LeBeouf dancing, shirtless, alongside a 12-year-old girl.
Some commentators claimed the video, for the single Elastic Heart, "smacked of child molestation", and accused the singer of promoting paedophilia.
Writing on Twitter, Sia said she was sorry to anyone who felt "triggered" by the clip, in which the dancers were supposed to represent the two warring sides of her psyche.
"My intention was to create some emotional content, not to upset anybody," she added.
The work has seen the creation of a new 300-seat auditorium, extended foyer and refurbished bars and restaurants.
New backstage facilities have also been built, including dressing rooms, wig and make-up departments and set construction areas.
The remodelled theatre is attached to the £189m new library, which also opened on Tuesday.
The reopening of the Rep coincides with its centenary year.
A preview of Alan Bennett's play People starts later, with it opening to the public on Friday. The Rep said ticket sales were going very well.
Executive director Stuart Rogers said hundreds of people had wandered into the theatre on Tuesday, keen to see the results of the redevelopment.
He said the link with the library also seemed to be working well, allowing people to pass between the two venues almost without noticing.
Much of the work at the Rep has focused on stripping back additions to the building over the past 40 years, to reveal Graham Winteringham's original design.
"We feel it's true to the 1970s architecture but also includes the best technology of the 21st Century," Mr Rogers said.
"There's a huge amount of work backstage as well, such as new apartments and rehearsal spaces for visiting directors. That's important for the long-term health of the theatre.
"It allows us to attract the best directors and other talent. People will want to work in Birmingham.
"The new venue, in the middle in terms of scale between the main house and The Door, also allows us to diversify our productions."
The reopening of the Rep also brings to a close two and a half years on the road for the theatre company, staging productions in venues such as community libraries, army barracks and even Chinese restaurants.
Mr Rogers said teams were looking forward to working in the new facilities, but would also miss some of the creative challenges of life on the road.
Mr Peters, 20, was on a night out when he was last seen on Coney Street on 2 October.
He lived in the Hull Road area of the city.
DI Jackie Smart, of North Yorkshire Police, said Mr Peters' family had been informed and were receiving support from specially-trained officers.
The Great British Public Toilet Map has charted the number of publicly accessible toilets across the UK to coincide with World Toilet day.
Flintshire came bottom of the survey, along with five other councils.
Critics argued this is a "public health issue," but the council said it promotes toilets in places like libraries.
The survey said that Darlington, Melton, North Kesteven, Redditch and South Ribble also have just four public toilets each.
In January, Flintshire council proposed closing or offloading the facilities in a bid to save up to £94,000.
The Welsh Government recently tabled plans to ensure every Welsh local authority has a "public toilet strategy".
Gail Ramster at the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, who created the toilet map, said: "Our public toilet analysis can help campaigners to reveal whether their council is underperforming compared to others with similar demographics, geography and industry."
A spokesman from Crohn's and Colitis UK said reducing access to toilets for those in need was "having a major impact on people with incontinence, and is a public health issue".
In response, a Flintshire council spokesman said that a review of its public toilets earlier in the year showed they "regularly attract antisocial behaviour" which deterred people from using them.
"It was therefore proposed that the council should promote the use of its existing toilet facilities within other publically accessible council buildings e.g. libraries, leisure centres and Flintshire Connects Centres," he said.
The data analysis, supported by the Open Data Institute, draws upon data collected by crowdsourcing, open data from councils on toilet provision and FOI requests.
The Scots held New Zealand to an 18-18 draw in the recent Four Nations, becoming the first side from outside the top three to avoid defeat by the Kiwis, Australia or England since 1990.
Australia usurp New Zealand as world number one after hammering their rivals 34-8 in the Four Nations final.
England stay third, with Ireland eighth and Wales ninth.
USA and Canada, who have been jointly awarded the 2025 World Cup, appear in the top 12 nations for the first time at 10th and 12th respectively.
Paint was thrown over the front and back of the memorial at White Brae on the Ligoniel Road.
The vandalism comes less than four weeks since the stone was last damaged.
The organisation said it was with "nauseating regularity" the stone was "desecrated once again".
The memorial was erected in 2009, as a tribute to teenage brothers John and Joseph McCaig, and their 23-year-old colleague Dougald McCaughey.
The three off-duty soldiers were lured to the area and shot dead by the IRA on 10 March 1971.
John MacVicar from the Oldpark-Cavehill branch of the British Legion Association said it is a stone and it does no-one any harm.
"The reality is as determined as those people are to do this, the Oldpark-Cavehill branch and its members are doubly determined to ensure the memorial stays there."
Members of the Royal British Legion took part in fundraising to pay for the memorial, which was installed in 2009 at the site where the soldiers' bodies were discovered.
In previous attacks, corner posts of the monument were broken, wreaths were destroyed and sectarian graffiti daubed on the memorial stone.
With the home of Welsh rugby hosting the Champions League final in June, the Football Association of Wales (FAW) wants to stage a notable football game there as part of its preparations.
It is unclear who Wales would face, but Argentina and Spain are understood to be under consideration.
Wales have not played football at the 72,500-capacity ground since 2011.
They lost 2-0 to England on that occasion, ending an 11-year association with the arena formerly known as the Millennium Stadium.
Wales have since moved to the 33,000-seat Cardiff City Stadium, and Chris Coleman and his players have stressed that they want to stay at the ground where they have been successful recently.
If they do return to the Principality Stadium for a friendly, Coleman hopes it will be against challenging opposition.
"I like a friendly if it's against opposition where we're going to be right up against it, not one where we should win," he said.
"If we're playing Argentina or Spain or teams where we're right up against it, yeah, I'm all for that."
Wales face Ireland in a 2018 World Cup qualifier in Dublin on 24 March, and the friendly would likely take place the week after that fixture.
There would be an option to play a friendly before then in November as well, but Wales are unlikely to do so.
"I prefer that because it gives me a better chance to mould them [Wales' players] into what we're going to be doing for a game," Coleman added.
"To be fair to our FA, a lot of other countries when they've had a friendly and then a competitive game, I've said I don't want a friendly. Give me that time to work with the team and get them ready for the game.
"That costs us money sometimes because we can earn money off good friendlies.
"But the time I get to spend with players is invaluable because we don't get it [time]."
Three women were sexually assaulted on different buses in the city centre between 19 and 27 November last year.
Officers have appealed for anyone who recognises the man, or who may have witnessed the attacks, to contact them.
The man was said to be about 5ft 9in tall and of medium build with short brown hair and a receding hair line.
He was described as being in his mid-30s, and occasionally wears glasses with a thick frame.
The first incident took place on 19 November on a number 57 bus at Jamaica Street around at about 14:45.
The second attack happened on 24 November on a number 6 bus at Argyle Street, in the city centre, at about 15:15.
The final incident took place on 27 November on a number 61 bus at Maryhill Road at about 08:50.
Choi Soon-sil's conviction for soliciting favours for her daughter is the first in a wide-reaching influence-peddling scandal which brought down President Park Geun-hye.
She had acted for years as an adviser to Ms Park, who has been impeached and is also on trial.
Choi also faces charges that she accepted bribes for Ms Park.
Ms Park has denied all allegations of corruption.
Choi was found guilty of using her position to influence officials at a university to admit her daughter, Chung Yoo-ra, as well as give her daughter grades for papers or exams she never took.
The court stated in its verdict that "she committed too much wrongdoing to consider the actions were out of love as a mother who wants the best for her child," according to the Yonhap news agency.
Two former officials at the prestigious Ewha Womans University in Seoul have also been jailed for colluding with Choi.
Choi still faces other charges including abuse of authority, coercion, attempted coercion and attempted fraud.
Prosecutors say Ms Chung, an award-winning dressage rider, was involved in economic crimes, exam fraud, obstructing business and concealing criminal proceeds.
She has denied all these accusations and said she had no knowledge of her mother's dealings, including those with Ms Park.
Ms Chung, 21, was arrested in Denmark earlier this year and extradited to South Korea.
She is currently not in detention in Seoul. On Tuesday a local court said there was no need to detain her and refused the prosecution's request for an arrest warrant.
Choi is on trial accused of using her presidential connections to pressure companies to give millions of dollars in donations to two non-profit foundations she controlled.
In exchange, it is alleged they received preferential treatment from the government.
Ms Park is alleged to have been personally involved, instructing Choi and two presidential aides to collect money for the launch of the foundations.
The claims have swept up some of South Korea's biggest companies, including electronics giant Samsung.
The de-facto head of Samsung, Lee Jae-yong, is on trial. Several other Samsung executives and former presidential aides are also either facing trial or are under investigation.
Choi is also accused of having received confidential government documents from Ms Park.
Ms Park was arrested in April and preliminary hearings began in May.
She has previously admitted to some lapses, such as consulting Choi for advice and letting her edit presidential speeches, and has apologised for them.
Monaghan was the first boxer from the city to win a world title, becoming flyweight champion in 1948.
The 10ft-high sculpture, cast in bronze, has been erected in Cathedral Gardens in the city centre, close to where he grew up.
His family was joined by well-known boxers, Belfast councillors and crowds of boxing fans for the unveiling.
Addressing the ceremony, Lord Mayor of Belfast Arder Carson said boxing was "in the fabric and no doubt in the DNA of this city".
"Belfast as a city, in boxing terms, always punches well above its weight. It's a sport we're very proud of and it's a very important part of our sporting heritage."
Born in 1918, John Joseph Monaghan was better known by his childhood nickname, Rinty.
It was a reference to one of Hollywood's most famous animal actors, Rin Tin Tin, because of the young boxer's love of stray dogs.
When he was 30, Monaghan became the undisputed world flyweight champion after defeating Scottish fighter Jackie Paterson.
When he retired from the sport two years later, he had fought 66 times - winning 51, drawing six and losing nine fights.
Monaghan was also known for singing When Irish Eyes Are Smiling at the end of matches.
Among the special guests at Thursday's ceremony was the current IBF super-bantamweight title holder, Carl Frampton.
He told the BBC Monaghan had "inspired generations" of Belfast boxers.
"Boxing is a sport now where it's full of alphabet titles and no-one really knows who the world champion is," Frampton said.
"When Rinty was the world champion, there only was one and everyone knew him.
"I think, not only me, but the whole of Belfast kind of owes something back to boxing and people like Rinty for doing so much for the community" he added.
The bronze statute was commissioned by Belfast City Council and made in Edinburgh.
Monaghan's great-nephew, Eamon McAuley, told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme the statue was "absolutely beautiful".
"We want to thank the sculptor Alan [Beattie] Herriot and also Belfast City Council who have made this happen."
Mr McAuley described his great-uncle as a "working-class hero" and said after a five-year campaign to erect the statue, his family were going to celebrate "a wonderful day".
The policy being introduced by a south London council is aimed at improving health and stopping littering.
Wandsworth Council will hand over £30 vouchers if someone can prove they have given up smoking.
The policy will apply to those littering all "smoking-related rubbish" - including empty packets.
The council will also hand out pocket ashtrays to promote stop smoking campaigns and "litter education exercises" will be held to support the borough-wide pilot scheme.
Jonathan Cook, the council's environment spokesman, said the approach would "simultaneously help people give up smoking and reduce the amount of smoking-related litter".
The council's health spokesman Jim Maddan added: "We know that 65% of smokers want to quit, but often they don't know where to turn for help. This scheme will help them find that help."
Of the 614 litter-related fines issued in Wandsworth in the last year, 50% were for dropping smoking-related rubbish.
The fine is £80, reduced to £55 if paid within 10 days.
The council reported the cost of smoking to Wandsworth is around £30m a year - through lost productivity from early deaths, smoking breaks, NHS costs, passive smoking, waste disposal and smoking-related fires.
Similar schemes have been introduced in other London boroughs including Enfield, Haringey and Maidstone and the City of London.
He is the first opposition figure to win a presidential election in Nigeria since independence in 1960.
"I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody", he told cheering crowds at the inauguration in the capital, Abuja.
He vowed to tackle "head on" the issues of corruption and the insurgency from militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
Nigeria handover and other African news updates
Mr Buhari, a former military ruler, has taken over from Goodluck Jonathan, who had been in office since 2010.
At the inauguration ceremony at Abuja's Eagle Square - Mr Jonathan handed over the constitution and national flags before Mr Buhari took his oath of office.
In his first speech as president, Mr Buhari reiterated his commitment to tackle Boko Haram, whom he described as "a mindless, godless group, who are as far away from Islam as one can think".
Will Ross, BBC News, Abuja:
As soon as Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in the invited guests in Eagle Square rose to their feet, danced and sang their new president's name. As he was then driven around in an open vehicle, people rushed forward to record the moment on their phones.
This was a time for celebration not just for supporters of the new leader but also for Nigerians who are proud that their country has witnessed this historic transition. By conceding Goodluck Jonathan steered the country away from violence. We will never know how close Nigeria was to the precipice.
Moments after Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in thousands of excited young men ran through the security barriers to Eagle Square and pressed up against the perimeter fence cheered their new leader. It was a stark reminder that so many in Nigeria are expecting change, including jobs, from President Buhari.
As Mr Jonathan is driven away I would not be surprised if he has a sense of relief and feels an almighty weight has just been lifted off his shoulders.
Mr Buhari also announced plans for the Nigerian military's command centre to be moved from Abuja to the strategic north-eastern city of Maiduguri, which is closer to areas where the group operates.
He said Boko Haram could not be said to be defeated without rescuing the more than 200 Chibok girls, whose capture last April sparked a global campaign to bring them back home.
"This government will do all it can to rescue them alive," he said.
Mr Buhari said the Nigerian economy was "in deep trouble", identifying "insecurity, pervasive corruption... and seemingly impossible fuel and power shortages" as key concerns.
The country's power supply crisis was "a national shame", he said, which had brought "darkness, frustration, misery, and resignation" to Nigerians.

Buhari's to-do list
The president rounded off his speech with a quotation from Shakespeare, before issuing a final rallying call to Nigerians: "We have an opportunity. Let us take it."
Among the guests at the ceremony were US Secretary of State John Kerry and African leaders including Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe.
The 65-year-old Italian was sacked in February with the club in a relegation battle.
He will receive a Panchina d'Oro (Golden Bench) award next week.
Ranieri was named coach of the year at the BBC Sports Personality awards in December and also by Fifa in January.
The Italian FA, the FIGC, said: "During the ceremony a special Golden Bench will be given to Claudio Ranieri, the protagonist of the extraordinary journey by Leicester, with whom he won the Premier League."
The event takes place at Italy's national training centre Coverciano on Monday.
Chairman David Cardoza plans to sell the club to ex-Oxford United chairman Kelvin Thomas.
But Mr Thomas warned it is too early to know if he can resolve "the very complicated situation of outstanding debt" to enable the purchase.
The club owes Northampton Borough Council more than £10m.
Mr Thomas said: "We have found a very complicated situation with outstanding debt, parcels of land with different leases, various creditors and winding-up petitions.
"At this stage it is still too early to know whether we will be able to properly resolve these issues to allow a sensible deal to proceed."
Northampton Town chief executive James Whiting had previously said the sale would only go through if Mr Thomas was able to do a deal with the council over a £10.25m loan.
The loan was to have been used to redevelop the club's Sixfields ground, including the building of the new East Stand along with a hotel and conference centre - none of which have been completed.
A winding-up petition has been sought by HM Revenue & Customs, to whom Mr Whiting said the club owed £166,000.
Mr Thomas said that he had "agreed a deal in principal for the purchase... subject to the usual legal and financial due diligence".
He added: "Our interest is to take the football club forward and are prepared to invest significant funds to immediately stabilise the club off the pitch, support the team on the pitch and complete the East Stand."
Manager Chris Wilder said he would relish the prospect of working with Mr Thomas once again.
They were told the application was turned down because of concerns that registration could affect the "peace... [and] good order" in the country.
The 60-member Atheists In Kenya applied for official recognition last year.
More than 97% of Kenyans indentify themselves with a religion, according to Pew Research.
Head of Atheists In Kenya (AIK) Harrison Mumia has accused the official registrar Maria Nyariki of running her office "through guesswork", as she cannot possibly know what impact registration would have.
He also complained that there are "church leaders who have defiled minors" who have been allowed to register.
AIK does have the right to appeal against the decision but Mr Mumia told the BBC that he will be taking the issue to court because he argues the constitutional right to freedom of association had been violated.
AIK believes that official recognition would allow it to participate more fully in public affairs, as well as allow it to do things like open a bank account.
Mr Mumia said that as an atheist in a religious society, he has personally suffered discrimination.
Last year, AIK failed in its court attempt to overturn the government's decision to have a public holiday coinciding with Pope Francis' visit.
This is the full statement to the inquests from his daughter, Lynsey Hankin:
I am the daughter of Eric Hankin, who was killed in the disaster at Hillsborough football stadium on 15 April ,1989. My father was a victim of the crush which occurred in pen 3 on the Leppings Lane terrace. He was 33.
I make this statement at the request of the coroner with a view to providing some personal background about my father. This statement is made on behalf of my family, including my mother, Karen, and my brother, David. I was 12 when my Dad died and David was seven.
Dad was born on 26 October, 1955. Dad was born in Walton, Liverpool. Shortly after leaving school, Dad became a male nurse at Moss Side Hospital in Maghull, where he was to become a staff nurse.
Mum met Dad when she was 14 and Dad was 18. They met on a blind date. The date was part of a plan to separate Dad from his friend, Billy. Mum's friend, Christine wanted Billy to herself. One date was all it was supposed to be!
They married on 19 October, 1976. Mum was 16 and Dad was 20. They had two children: me, on 7 March 1977, and David Eric on 1 July 1981.
Mum and Dad had to adapt to a whole new way of life and it was turbulent - but they did it! Dad strived to move the family from accommodation provided by his employer in the Moss Side Special Hospital into a home of our own.
Mum and Dad achieved in owning their own home, a car and what seemed at the time like a pretty good life with David and I.
Mum says Dad was an ordinary man. He was a son, a brother, a grandson, a son-in-law, uncle and brother-in-law. To Mum, he was the father of her children, her friend, her confidant, her lover and on occasion her sparring partner. He was like every one of us - yet none of us.
My Mum says that Dad wasn't perfect, but who of us here today could stand up and say they are? It was those imperfections, those quirks, those things we still laugh about as a family today that personifies the man he was.
Profiles of all those who died
It was these things that helped Mum and Dad learn about each other, taught them to make allowances and for them to grow together as a couple. Their quirks helped make them the couple they were.
They learnt to own up to their shortcomings, and agree to disagree. They could shout and scream at each other or cuddle and comfort each other in equal measure.
My Dad was dedicated to his job as a staff nurse. He strived at his job to achieve promotion. He worked every hour of overtime to provide for his family.
Dad refused to pay for anything weekly. He would always wait until he had saved up the cash. It used to infuriate Mum, but she would wait, because she knew if it was within my Dad's power, we would have it, and nine times out of 10 we would eventually get what we needed.
Dad tried his best to make us all happy. He would give us his all one minute and then moan about the price of a loaf for an hour. The standing family joke was that Dad could peel an orange in his pocket wearing a boxing glove.
To me, my Dad was like a giant when I was growing up, a big friendly giant.
He made everyone laugh. He never sat down at the table to eat without making the teapot yawn!
He spent hours teaching me how to ride my first bike. He took me to Crosby baths every Sunday to teach me how to swim.
When I was little, he would take me out on the crossbar of his bike, although we did come off a few times as his coordination was as bad as mine! Obviously, it's where I get it from.
We went on holidays every year, both abroad and in caravans, with my Nan and Granddad, my Auntie Gill and Uncle Mark. Our family was full of love and laughter.
One of my earliest memories is when I must have been five years old, standing on a chair in my Great-Nan's bungalow singing his beloved Liverpool songs.
I remember listening to stories of his times on the Kop, watching his favourites, Ian Rush and 'King' Kenny Dalglish.
When David and I were in the car with my Dad, we had to hold our noses every time we drove past Goodison Park, and when we went past Anfield we had to salute! This is something I still do with my kids now.
My favourite days were when it was hot and my Mum and Dad would pick us up from school together. They would have a picnic in the car and we would go to Formby beach for our tea. Every time Dad would say, 'I'll bring you here when you're 17 and I'll teach you how to drive'. He never got the chance to.
He was a good Dad. He loved me and I loved him, although if you saw him chewing his moustache, you knew to run for cover! He was annoyed about something and he had a giant voice as well.
As I got older, our relationship changed. I was not his little girl anymore. I didn't want to sit next to him on the bus into town any more. I sat at the back on my own pretending I was so grown up, even holding my own ticket.
Then came the time I asked could I go to the under-14s night at Fallows nightclub. He went white and said 'no' at first. After some persuasion, he said 'yes', but he was taking me and picking me up, so I agreed and he did collect me, although, when he picked me up, the car wouldn't start and all the other kids gave us a push.
I was dying with embarrassment and he thought it was really funny. I never asked to go again. And I swear there was nothing wrong with that car!
Now I have my own children, Jack-Shankly, Michael Eric and Libby Anne. They know all about their Granddad Eric. I only wish he was here to enjoy them in the way that we do.
As I have said, I loved my Dad and he loved me unconditionally. A big giant-shaped hole has been left in my heart since the day he died.
I've learnt how to live with it, but I don't think the pain will ever leave me. Mum and Dad enjoyed watching a TV programme and one of the quotes from it was, 'I am not a number, I am a free man.'
Describing someone you love is extremely difficult. How do you describe someone in a way only you knew them? How do you put down on paper what someone did, still does and always will mean to you?
This statement is a tiny part of a picture of a man, not a faceless fact or a figure. My family and I hope that this procedure allows us and our loved ones the freedom to finally rest in peace."
The assembly makes laws in areas including health, education and local government, and the next term will see tax powers put in the hands of ministers for the first time.
But the elections can be confusing.
There is a different system used to elect AMs compared to "first past the post", which is used for Westminster polls.
And like any election, to take part you need to register - and that has changed too.
So what are the key dates for the assembly elections, how do you take part and how do they work?
Much like parliament in Westminster, the assembly shuts shop for a month before the election takes place.
Dissolution is when assembly members cease being AMs - and those who are seeking re-election become candidates.
That starts on 6 April.
Confusingly, the last day of assembly business happened on 16 March, when the ceremonial mace was removed from the Senedd chamber.
The period between dissolution and the election is commonly known as purdah, although the Welsh Government calls it the "pre-election period".
The first minister and his cabinet remain in post until a new government is formed, while the Welsh Government continues to implement policy already laid out.
You've got until 18 April to register, if you have not already. You do not have to take part, but it is a legal requirement that you are registered.
There has been a lot of publicity over how the process to register to vote has changed - it is done individually now, rather than by household.
If you are not already registered to vote with your council, you can do it in English here, or in Welsh here. You may need your national insurance number.
There are also forms to register to vote by post.
The deadline for asking for a postal vote is 19 April - the day after the deadline for registering to vote.
To get a postal vote you need to sign a form and post it. The Electoral Commission - the independent elections watchdog - has a u guide with the form available for download.
A proxy vote is where someone else votes for you in person. You need a reason, which you do not for a postal vote. This can include being on holiday or having a physical condition which means you cannot attend a polling station.
Like a postal vote, you also need to fill in a form and post it back to your local council. Forms can be found here.
The deadline for proxy votes is 26 April.
This is the big day. Polling stations across Wales will be open from 07:00 BST to 22:00.
If you choose to vote in person, you will have to attend a polling station within those times.
Details of which station to go to will be included on a polling card that is sent to the address where you registered.
There are 60 assembly members split into two types - 40 that cover constituencies and 20 that cover regions.
Constituency assembly members serve a smaller area than those elected to serve regions. This is currently exactly the same as the area served by Westminster MPs.
Parties nominate lists of candidates to put to the electorate in the regions. Four AMs in each of the five regions will be elected.
The regions are:
Voters are given two ballot papers for the assembly election.
One ballot allows you to vote for a candidate in your constituency. You vote for a party on a separate ballot paper.
The party vote can be for the same party as the person that you voted for in your constituency, or it can be a different one.
The vote on the second ballot paper helps determine the result of the election of regional AMs, which is explained below.
Counts take place at locations across Wales overnight, with BBC TV, radio and online providing results coverage into Friday morning.
Unlike Westminster, the assembly uses the "additional member system". This was implemented to make the assembly more proportional and means the two different types of AMs are elected in two different ways.
The first past the post principle is used to elect constituency AMs - where the candidate with the largest number of votes gets the seat.
For regional seats it is more complicated.
In simple terms, regional AMs' seats are dished out to the different parties according to:
So if Labour gets a large vote in a region but already has lots of AMs elected there, they will not necessarily pick up any regional seats.
Party lists are nominated in the order that candidates will be elected, if they are successful.
For example, if Joe Bloggs is number one for party X, and Bob Jones is number two, but party X only gets one seat in a region, then only Joe Bloggs is elected.
If they get two, Bob Jones gets a seat too.
The Welsh Government is formed from whatever party or group of parties can get enough support in the Senedd to elect a first minister.
If there is a clear majority for one party or another, that will be obvious by 6 May.
If there is not, then the largest party may try to form a minority government.
That could be possible if the other parties do not try to stop that from happening and form their own coalition, like it was in the last assembly term for Labour.
Parties may also try to negotiate a deal to work together, but that could take some time after the election result to emerge.
Yes there is.
There will be another ballot paper given to you for the election of police and crime commissioners, or PCCs.
PCCs are responsible for how police budgets are spent in force areas, and decide the police precept part of council tax. Although they do not determine how forces operate day to day, they do have the power to hire and fire a chief constable.
PCCs serve a force area - so there is a commissioner for Gwent, one for South Wales and so on.
Voters can pick their first and second choice from the ballot. If a candidate receives more than half of all first choice votes, they are elected immediately.
If this does not happen, all other candidates other than the first and second are eliminated.
Secondary votes for the top two, from those eliminated, are then redistributed. The candidate with the highest combined total of first and second votes will be elected.
The statue was taken from the Arcade in a drunken prank in 2005.
It is said to have then been accidentally run over by a police car and spent the next few years in university storage.
The Falmouth Civic Society later discovered the carving and raised enough money for its restoration.
Names of the fundraisers have been engraved onto a metal plaque.
Chairman of the society, Mike Jenks, said: "It's been quite an achievement - to raise that amount of money for something that's been missing for such a long time.
"People had forgotten that it was there. I think that the restoration will mean that they won't forget it for a long time to come."
He added they were keen to find out more about the statue's history: "It's pretty well hidden; we've tried to find out when it was put up".
It is believed the structure could have been carved a long time before 1963, the year that photographs were taken of St George and the Dragon above the Arcade.
Mr Jenks said: "The colours are fantastic and the dragon looks surprisingly alive - so watch out."
Nottinghamshire's Ball, 25, is to have a scan on a knee injury he suffered in a warm-up game on Monday in St Kitts.
It is South Africa-born 21-year-old Curran's first senior call-up and comes in the middle of his involvement with the England Lions in Sri Lanka.
He is the son of late Zimbabwe all-rounder Kevin Curran, and brother of Surrey and Lions player Sam Curran.
"It's all pretty surreal right now, but I'm giddy, I can't wait to get out there," Curran said.
England opener Alex Hales is also set to join the side after recovering from a hand fracture.
West Indies named their 13-man squad for the three-match series on Tuesday.
The squad features batsman Carlos Brathwaite, who hit four successive sixes in the final over from England's Ben Stokes to win the World Twenty20 last year.
The series begins on Friday in Antigua. The second one-day match also takes place in Antigua - on 5 March - with the third game four days later in Barbados.
West Indies squad: Jason Holder (captain), Devendra Bishoo, Carlos Brathwaite, Kraigg Brathwaite, Jonathan Carter, Shannon Gabriel, Shai Hope (wk), Alzarri Joseph, Evin Lewis, Jason Mohammed, Ashley Nurse, Kieran Powell, Rovman Powell.
England squad: Eoin Morgan (captain), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Jake Ball, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler (wk), Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, Steven Finn, Alex Hales, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes.

Katumbi is an opposition leader currently in exile from DR Congo after falling out with President Joseph Kabila.
"This victory is for the Congolese people because football unites everybody," Katumbi told BBC Sport.
Katumbi says the team's vision for next season is to promote young players from his academy to conquer Africa.
"In the next eight years, I foresee my country being a real football force not only in Africa but the whole world," he said.
Katumbi said that winning the title has not been easy.
"We are the only team that doesn't receive any support from the provincial government," he said on the phone from Morocco where he is attending a Confederation of African Football symposium.
"All other teams are given transport money to fulfil their fixtures. Ever since I resigned as Governor of the Katanga province, my team has suffered sanctions."
Katumbi announced his presidential ambitions last year but was convicted of illegal property selling and sentenced to three years in prison in absentia shortly after.
Judge Chantal Ramazani has since said she was pressured to do so by the country's intelligence service in a bid to block his political ambitions.
The intelligence services deny the allegations.
DR Congo's elections were due to be held in late 2016 but have yet to take place. Their timing is still uncertain.
Fisheries Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi said the target would be 210 Pacific whales - about half the current catch.
Japan's defiance of a worldwide ban on whaling has angered environmentalists.
Last month the ICJ ruled that Japan's Antarctic whaling was commercial, not scientific as Tokyo had argued.
"Our basic policy lies with (continuing) research whaling. Research whaling is a means to seek a way out of the current situation of moratorium by collecting scientific data. So, we aim to resume commercial whaling at the earliest possible date, by conducting research whaling," Mr Hayashi said.
In its March ruling the ICJ - a UN body - agreed with Australia, which brought the case against Japan in May 2010. It called on Japan to re-examine its overall whaling policy.
The ICJ said Japan had failed to explain why it needed to kill so many whales simply for research purposes.
The international moratorium on whaling has been in place since 1986. A year later, Japan began what it called scientific whaling.
The meat from the slaughtered whales is sold commercially in Japan.
Mr Hayashi said Japan plans to "submit a new research programme by this autumn to the International Whaling Commission (IWC), reflecting the criteria laid out in the [ICJ] verdict".
IC24 has a contract to provide 111 non-emergency call services and GPs outside normal hours in Norfolk and Wisbech.
A leaked critical report on the business said it had a shortage of GPs and deficiencies in call handling.
IC24 medical director Mark Reynolds told a county council health committee: "We receive £7.50 per person per year - about the price of a pizza delivery."
He told the scrutiny meeting the fee per patient per year had been nearly £14 in 2008.
"The pendulum has swung too far in cost-cutting in the NHS nationally," said Dr Reynolds.
Norwich Clinical Commissioning Group (NCCG), which took on IC24, said it was paying an "appropriate amount" for the service.
Last November, NCCG carried out unannounced checks after staff reported concerns.
It found a lack of doctors, staff saying unseen patients were wiped from the database, and callers waiting more than 12 hours for advice.
Its report said this posed "a significant risk to patient safety".
IC24 told county councillors it had made improvements, including recruiting more call handlers and creating a new senior GP oversight role.
It said it was able to run a "safe and sustainable" out-of-hours service.
The meeting was told annual indemnity insurance costs of up to £20,000 - to be paid by GPs - were putting off many doctors from working out-of-hours shifts.
An NCCG spokesman said: "There are immense financial pressures on all of the NHS.
"We believe Norfolk and Wisbech CCG is paying an appropriate amount of money for this new service."
NHS England said out-of-hours doctors had been given temporary financial support over the winter to cover insurance costs.
Scrutiny committee chairman Michael Cartiss said the report's revelations were "alarming" and the committee would look at IC24's progress in a year's time.
The Team Sky man, 29, pulled away from the other riders in the leading group with 40 kilometres to go.
Stannard finished almost two minutes clear of Graham Briggs of JLT-Condor and ONE Pro Cycling's Kristian House.
The stage had been expected to end in a bunched sprint, but the main peloton, which included Mark Cavendish, finished more than six minutes behind.
Belgium's Julien Vermote, the winner of Monday's second stage, retained the overall lead.
Stannard, who got into a small breakaway soon after the start, said: "I train on these roads every day, since I was 18, so I really enjoyed it today and was giving it some down the descents.
"Cheshire East pulled out all the stops and got an amazing crowd out. Every town, every hill, there was massive crowds, it was great to see."

Students unable to navigate through a complex digital landscape will no longer be able to participate fully in the economic, social and cultural life around them.
But those in charge of educating today's "connected" learners are confronted with challenging issues, from information overload to plagiarism, from protecting children from online risks such as fraud, violations of privacy or online bullying to setting an adequate and appropriate media diet.
We expect schools to educate our children to become critical consumers of internet services and electronic media. And we expect them to raise awareness about the risks that children face online and how to avoid them.
More stories from the BBC's Knowledge economy series looking at education from a global perspective and how to get in touch
The Pisa assessments now provide first-of-its-kind internationally comparative analysis of the digital skills that students have acquired, and of the learning environments designed to develop these skills.
These data show that the reality in schools lags considerably behind the promise of technology.
In 2012, 96% of 15-year-old students in OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries reported that they have a computer at home, but only 72% reported that they use a desktop, laptop or tablet computer at school, and in some countries fewer than one in two students reported doing so.
Even where computers are used in the classroom, their impact on student performance is mixed at best.
Students who use computers moderately at school tend to have somewhat better learning outcomes than students who use computers rarely.
But students who use computers very frequently at school do a lot worse in most learning outcomes, even after accounting for social background and student demographics.
The results also show no appreciable improvements in student achievement in reading, mathematics or science in the countries that had invested heavily in information and communication technology (ICT) for education.
And perhaps the most disappointing finding is that technology seems of little help in bridging the skills divide between advantaged and disadvantaged students.
Put simply, ensuring that every child attains a baseline level of proficiency in reading and mathematics seems to do more to create equal opportunities in a digital world than expanding or subsidising access to hi-tech devices and services.
Last but not least, most parents and teachers will not be surprised by the finding that students who spend more than six hours on line per weekday outside of school are particularly at risk of reporting that they feel lonely at school, and that they arrived late for school or skipped days of school in the two weeks prior to the Pisa test.
One interpretation is that building deep, conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking requires intensive teacher-student interactions, and technology sometimes distracts from this valuable human engagement.
Another interpretation is that schools have not yet become good enough at the kind of pedagogies that make the most of technology; that adding 21st-Century technologies to 20th-Century teaching practices will just dilute the effectiveness of teaching.
If students use smartphones to copy and paste prefabricated answers to questions, it is unlikely to help them to become smarter. Educators who want to ensure that students become smarter than a smartphone need to think harder about the pedagogies they are using to teach them.
Technology can amplify great teaching but it seems technology cannot replace poor teaching.
The impact of technology on education delivery remains sub-optimal, because we may over-estimate the digital skills of both teachers and students, because of naive policy design and implementation strategies, because of a poor understanding of pedagogy, or because of the generally poor quality of educational software and courseware.
The results suggest that the connections among students, computers and learning are neither simple nor hard-wired; and the real contributions ICT can make to teaching and learning have yet to be fully realised and exploited.
But the findings must not lead to despair. School systems need to get the digital agenda right in order to provide educators with learning environments that support 21st Century pedagogies and provide children with the 21st Century skills they need to succeed in tomorrow's world.
Technology is the only way to dramatically expand access to knowledge. Why should students be limited to a textbook that was printed two years ago, and maybe designed 10 years ago, when they could have access to the world's best and most up-to-date textbook?
Equally important, technology allows teachers and students to access specialised materials well beyond textbooks, in multiple formats, with little time and space constraints. Technology provides great platforms for collaboration in knowledge creation where teachers can share and enrich teaching materials.
Perhaps most importantly, technology can support new pedagogies that focus on learners as active participants.
To deliver on the promises technology holds, countries will need a convincing strategy to build teachers' capacity. And policy-makers need to become better at building support for this agenda.
Given the uncertainties that accompany all change, educators will always opt to maintain the status quo. To mobilise support for more technology-rich schools, policy needs to become better at communicating the need and building support for change.
Education systems need to invest in capacity development and change-management skills, develop sound evidence and feed this evidence back to institutions, and back all that up with sustainable financing.
Last but not least, it is vital that teachers become active agents for change, not just in implementing technological innovations, but in designing them too.
Baby Angelina was conceived from sperm taken from Det Wenjian Liu and frozen on the night he was killed in December 2014, at the age of 32.
He and his widow Pei Xia Chen, also known as Sanny, had been planning to start a family, New York police said.
Officer Liu and partner Rafael Ramos were shot by an African-American gunman with a grievance against the police.
Sanny Liu said she had a dream the night after Det Liu was killed in which he handed her a baby girl, the NYPD said on its Facebook page.
She became pregnant through IVF.
"I told my friend 'It's going to be a baby girl'. My friend said 'No, you haven't even checked the sonograms', but I was right!" she said.
Det Liu's killer claimed to be avenging black men killed by white police.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said Mr Liu, who arrived in the US from China with his parents at the age of 12, had lost his life while fighting for "all that is decent and good".
However hundreds of police officers turned their backs on Mr de Blasio at Mr Liu's funeral in protest at his expressions of sympathy for anti-police protesters earlier in 2014.
The killing of Mr Liu and Mr Ramos followed a wave of demonstrations against US police brutality.
The move was announced along with the company's annual results, which show pre-tax profits fell slightly to £1.2bn from last year's £1.26bn.
BSkyB also reported revenues rose by 7%, with strong demand "across the board" for its services.
It said Sky Sports viewing share was at a seven-year high, boosted by the open race for the Premier League title.
Part of BSkyB - 39% - is owned by Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox. That company owns 100% of Sky Italia and 57% of Sky Germany.
By Kamal AhmedBBC Business editor
BSkyB's chief executive, Jeremy Darroch, said: "The three Sky businesses are leaders in their home markets and will be even stronger together. By creating the new Sky, we will be able to use our collective strengths and expertise to serve customers better, grow faster and enhance returns."
Majority stake holder 21st Century Fox wants to pass the ownership of the Sky businesses to BskyB to free up cash for its bid for media giant Time Warner, the company that owns Game of Thrones maker HBO and news business channel CNN.
It also thinks the pay-TV channels will be more profitable if run by one dedicated company.
The company hopes the new structure will save it £200m by the end of the second financial year with further savings to come.
BBC business editor, Kamal Ahmed, points out senior observers say that having pulled the European Sky businesses under one roof, 21st Century Fox could tidy up the business structure further by buying the other 61% of BSkyB it does not already own.
BSkyB shares were down some 5% on the news, as it will also bring higher debt levels and a stop to its current practice of buying back shares.
BSkyB broadcasts to 10 million homes in the UK.
A combined Sky Europe would have 20 million customers.
Firms in some parts of Scotland are paying more than a fifth of their surplus earnings on rates bills.
The average business rates bill, as a share of profit and other surplus, is nearly four times that of the wider private business sector.
Analysis by the Scottish Parliament Information Centre shows wide variation around the country in all sectors.
The figures help make the case for reform of the non-domestic (or business) rates system, which is this year expected to raise £2.8bn in Scotland.
It is currently being reviewed in England, and has faced criticism from the Scottish business sector for having little link to the ability to pay.
Non-domestic rates are levied by the Scottish government at a fixed level across Scotland, multiplied by the valuation, which is assessed independently and based on the rental value of offices, shops and factories.
The pattern emerging from the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (SPICe) analysis is that the most prosperous parts of the country tend to face a lower tax burden.
Put another way, the basis for charging non-domestic rates in Scotland does not appear to reflect the economic difficulties in post-industrial Scotland.
The areas where businesses face the lowest tax burden, when compared with the added value, include Moray, where the whisky industry generates large profits.
Also at the more affordable end of the scale are the north-east councils, helped by the profitability of the oil and gas industry, and Falkirk area, with its petro-chemical plants.
The data looked at the overall picture and two sectors - manufacturing and hospitality. It showed that the accommodation and food sector carries the biggest weight.
The analysis of the tourism sector found that West Lothian, Dumfries and Galloway, Edinburgh and Renfrewshire were the council areas with the highest burden relative to their surplus, at more than 22%.
That surplus figure is calculated by subtracting labour costs from Gross Value Added. It includes business profits, but can be more widely defined than just those. The figures were based on the Annual Business Survey, averaged between 2010 and 2012. SPICe statisticians warn those figures are not as reliable as some others used in its work, and should be classified as "experimental".
Although business rates are paid by government and non-profit organisations, these were not included in the SPICe analysis.
The average tourist business rates bill for Scottish council areas was nearly 15%. For private businesses as a whole, excluding the finance sector, business rates cost 4% of their surplus, according to the Holyrood figures.
Among other areas where the tourism sector had to pay most were Fife, South Ayrshire, Western Isles, Glasgow, Inverclyde, Falkirk, Midlothian, Angus, East Lothian, Dundee and Clackmannanshire.
With higher profits and surpluses in recent years, Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire were among those with the lowest relative burden.
The Scottish government said it had "the most competitive business tax environment anywhere in the UK, including a package of business rate reliefs worth an estimated £618m this year.
"The Small Business Bonus Scheme alone is estimated to reduce or remove rates bills for over two in every five rateable properties. Many of those benefiting from this scheme are small tourist businesses.
"The business rates framework in Scotland remains under active review, building on the 20-point action plan we put together following our consultation in 2012/13. Our own review was very thorough and we continue to make improvements, reflecting feedback from businesses and maintaining a competitive edge for taxpayers in Scotland."
Police are hunting for Rajendra Kasawa in connection with Saturday's blast in Madhya Pradesh that knocked down a restaurant and neighbouring building.
Kasawa, had a licence for explosives for digging wells, construction and mining, police said.
But he had stored them illegally in a residential area, police added.
The incident took place in Petlawad in Jhabua district, where there are several manganese and bauxite mines. Many mine workers are hired on contract from the town, which is about 850km (530 miles) south of the capital, Delhi.
"We have also announced a cash award of 100,000 rupees ($1,500; £971)) for anyone who provides any information on the main accused, who is absconding," district police official Seema Alava told AFP news agency.
She said a police officer has since been suspended for failing to enforce the laws on storage.
Kasawa allegedly fled the area after the blast and now faces charges of criminal negligence and culpable homicide, police said.
Thirty nine people were injured in the incident, and have been admitted to hospitals.
Most of those who died were at a neighbouring restaurant, which was packed with workers and schoolchildren eating breakfast.
"We were on our way to the restaurant on Saturday morning when we heard what sounded like firecrackers. After that we heard a huge explosion, and I became unconscious. I woke up in the hospital," said 18-year-old Balram, who has been admitted to a hospital in Jhabua.
All the bodies were extracted from the debris, and black smoke from funeral pyres could be seen rising late into Saturday night.

Mr McKay, who was 36, was shot dead at his home on Longlands Road on 25 October.
Requiem mass was held at St Gerard's church on the Antrim Road for Mr McKay on Friday.
Fr Gerry Cassidy said Mr McKay had died "in the early summer of his life".
He said sympathy and prayers were also with the family of David Black who was murdered on the M1 motorway in Northern Ireland on Thursday.
Mr McKay, the father of a 10-year-old child, was shot several times as he sat alone on a sofa in his living room. He died at the scene.
At least two armed men were involved in the attack.
Police have asked anyone who saw a silver Volkswagen Bora, which had been stolen by five masked men in the New Lodge area shortly before the shooting to contact them.
The car was later found burnt out in Ardmoulin Place, west Belfast.
The International Kabaddi Federation said "this is not the right time to engage with Pakistan". The two-week-long event begins on Friday.
The neighbours last month accused each other of increasing hostilities along their de-facto border in Kashmir.
Kabaddi is a full-contact team sport which originated in India.
The championship in India's western city of Ahmedabad will feature top sides from Iran, Australia, South Korea, England, Poland, Kenya, Argentina and newcomers, the US.
The IKF chief, Deoraj Chaturvedi, told AFP news agency that Pakistan had been barred from the tournament due to an increase in tensions between the neighbours.
"Pakistan is a valuable member of the IKF but looking at the current scenario and in the best interest of both the nations, we decided that Pakistan must be refrained [from the championship," he said.
Pakistan's kabaddi officials said the tournament without Pakistan would be "just like a football world cup without Brazil".
"We have called a meeting to discuss this issue but let me tell you that a Kabaddi World Cup is no world cup without Pakistan," said the chief of the Pakistan Kabaddi Federation, Rana Muhammad Sarwar.

Relations between India and Pakistan have sharply deteriorated since last month, when militants carried out the deadliest attack on an Indian army base in Kashmir in years. India blamed the attack on Pakistan, which has denied the claim.
Last week, India said it had retaliated by carrying out "surgical strikes" against suspected militants along the de-facto border with Pakistan in Kashmir.
Pakistan denied that India had carried out any strikes and said two of its soldiers were killed in unprovoked cross-border shelling.
The first blast hit a bus carrying election officials in Bijapur district, police said, killing seven.
The second attack - half an hour later - killed five police in an ambulance in the Bastar district.
India began five weeks of general election polling last Monday.
Officials said the bus in Bijapur district was blown up by a landmine as it travelled between Gudma and the town of Kutru. Four people were injured.

Several people were also injured in the separate attack on the ambulance, which took place in the village of Kamanar, election officials said.
Maoist rebels have staged frequent attacks over several decades across a swathe of India in their campaign for the poor to have a greater share of India's natural resources.
Chhattisgarh has seen some of the worst violence. Polling began in part of the state on 10 April and continues with two further rounds in the coming weeks.
Elsewhere, voting resumed in the fourth stage of the general election on Saturday in four states - Goa, Assam, Tripura and Sikkim.
Sikkim, a tiny Himalayan state, also held local elections, including the contest for a seat in the regional assembly which is reserved for a Buddhist monk.
The first key day of polling saw millions of Indians vote on Thursday in 14 states.
The governing Congress party, led by Rahul Gandhi, is pitted against the main opposition BJP, led by the Hindu nationalist, Narendra Modi.
However, the anti-corruption Aam Aadmi (Common Man's) Party, with its stronghold in the capital, Delhi, is mounting a strong challenge.
More than 814 million Indians are eligible to vote in the polls, which opened on 7 April.
A party or a coalition needs a minimum of 272 seats in the 543-seat lower house of parliament to form a government.
The comedian hit headlines over his involvement in a tax avoidance scheme which the former prime minister, David Cameron, called "morally wrong".
"When you're in the middle of that [it's] like, 'could this be a career-ender?'" he told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.
"I guess with something like that, that's the worst case scenario."
He added: "Even worst case scenario, I've had a pretty good run in showbiz terms. I've been at the same level for probably 12 years now - that's very lucky to have a long, sustained career in showbiz.
"So it's going to disappear at some point."
The star was widely condemned for taking part in the K2 tax avoidance scheme - something he said was "a terrible error of judgement".
At the time, Mr Cameron was attending the G20 summit when he broke off from discussions to comment on the affair.
"If the prime minister breaks off from the G20 summit in Mexico - in a meeting with the 19 most important people in the world - and he comes out and makes a press statement about your tax affairs, that is going to need dealing with," Carr said.
"You've got to get out in front of it, and also you need to own it.
"Sometimes when footballers are involved in these things, people go: 'Well he probably didn't know what was going on and he got advice'.
"I don't think anybody was buying that line with me, I think people thought: 'He probably knew what he was doing'."
Carr said a financial adviser had told him of the scheme: "If someone comes to you and says, 'Do you want to pay less tax? It's totally legal, you can do this thing, and if it ever comes up you just have to pay them' - you go, 'yeah, fine, great'.
"In the end you make good and say: 'Right I'll pay every penny of tax I ever owed.'"
The comedian said the whole incident taught him that "when you have a friend in trouble, call".
"That was the big lesson.
"If you have a friend and they're in the paper or they're having a problem with something and you don't know what to say, or someone's just died or someone's been diagnosed with something, call them."
Carr was thought to be one of more than 1,000 beneficiaries who sheltered some £168m from the taxman each year through the K2 scheme. He has since paid all the tax.

Four workers were killed and five injured in the collapse in February, with one body recovered from the site.
RWE Npower said it knew controlled explosions at the site would be distressing for the missing workers' families.
The firm said it would ensure the remaining building falls away from the existing debris pile.
Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire
The Health and Safety Executive is carrying out a joint investigation with police into the cause of the collapsed boiler house.
A spokesman for RWE Npower said: "The recovery work can only be completed safely once the unstable standing structure has been brought down.
"Having explored other manual options, our experts have made it clear that the quickest and safest way to bring the building down is by controlled explosive demolition."
The recovery mission began on 19 March and is being supported by forensic archaeologists and structural engineers, with drones and cameras gathering information.
The bodies of Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea; Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, both from Rotherham, have not yet been found.
The body of Michael Collings, 53, from Brotton in Teesside, was recovered from the site.
RWE Npower said the families of the missing have been told about the plans.

Story of the match:
The 36-year-old Lazio striker scored with his first touch after coming on as a second-half substitute as the Germans came from behind to snatch a draw.
The goal, scored from a yard out, means Klose is now level with former Brazil striker Ronaldo on 15 goals.
Germany were, however, fortunate to escape with a point.
The European side took a fortuitous lead through Mario Gotze's unorthodox header, but Ghana came roaring back to score twice in nine minutes through Andre Ayew and Asamoah Gyan, to the huge delight of the vast majority of the crowd.
Joachim Low, the Germany coach, turned to the experience of Klose and the veteran did not disappoint as he prodded in to keep his side top of Group G.

The result means Germany, who move on to four points, have still only won their second game of a World Cup once since 1994. At Euro 2008, and at the 2010 World Cup, they followed up opening wins with defeats.
Ghana keep alive their chances of qualification for the last 16 but will have to beat Portugal in their final game to have a chance.
With temperatures in excess of 30C at the start, the tempo was understandably slow for much of the first half.
A series of pinball passing movements between Mesut Ozil, Thomas Muller and Mario Gotze threatened to create an opening for Germany.
But in the stifling heat of Fortaleza, Ghana restricted their most celebrated opponents to half chances and blocked shots in an underwhelming opening 45 minutes.
Ghana had won over the neutrals by the interval by creating arguably the best chances but, within six minutes of the re-start, Germany were in front.
Muller found a yard of space, looked up and picked out Gotze's run. The Bayern Munich forward did not make clean contact, heading the ball on to his knee, but the ball still deflected beyond Ghana goalkeeper Fatau Dauda.
Ghana rose to find hope and purpose. Three minutes later they levelled to send Estadio Castelao into raptures, Andre Ayew leaping to head home Harrison Afful's wonderful right-wing cross.
More drama was to come nine minutes later, as Ghana went ahead with a goal that stemmed from a rare mistake by Philipp Lahm.
Muntari pounced on the loose ball and slipped an inch-perfect ball through for Gyan, who fired firmly beyond goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
"I said I didn't know if Ghana would come back if Germany scored first, but I was proved wrong. But Jordan Ayew had the chance to put Ghana 3-1 up and he didn't pass to his team-mates who were better positioned. We said at the time that Ghana would pay for that - and they paid."
Germany turned to the experience of Klose and Bastian Schweinsteiger to stem the flow, with Ghana sensing an upset.
It was a move that paid off almost immediately as Klose scored with his first touch to equal the World Cup scoring record and bring Germany level.
Benedikt Howedes headed a corner towards the net and, just as it was about to cross the line, Klose prodded in to breathe life into Germany's hopes.
Ghana began to tire as Germany pushed on. Toni Kroos found Muller but a brave block by Ayew denied him. Jonathan Mensah threw his body on the line soon after as Germany poured forward but Ghana went close themselves through Christian Atsu and Gyan.
Neither team deserved to lose but both might have had more than a point.
If made law, such access would occur via the Investigatory Powers (IP) Act, which includes provisions for the removal of encryption on content.
The paper was allegedly leaked to civil liberties body the Open Rights Group, which received the document on 4 May.
The Home Office denied there was anything new in the consultation.
Phone companies and internet service providers would be asked to provide "data in near real time" within one working day, according to one clause in the technical capabilities paper.
Such access would need to be sanctioned by secretaries of state and a judge appointed by the prime minister.
The paper also echoes the IP Act itself, noting that tech companies would be required to remove - or enable the removal - of encryption from communications as they would need to be provided "in an intelligible form" without "electronic protection".
Cryptographers often describe such access as a "backdoor" in the security of communications services.
The idea is controversial because some argue it could be exploited by hackers, endangering innocent users.
Under the terms of the Investigatory Powers Act, telecoms firms would have to carry out the requirements of any notices to these effects in secret, so the public would be unaware that such access had been given.
Simultaneous surveillance could occur in bulk, but be limited to one in every 10,000 users of a given service - a maximum of roughly 900 of BT's 9 million British broadband customers, for instance.
A consultation about the paper - due to end on 19 May - is allegedly under way at the moment, though this was not publicly announced by the government.
It does not have a legal obligation notify the public about draft regulations, which would have to be passed by both Houses of Parliament in order to become law.
However, the paper suggests that the regulations have already been seen by the UK's Technical Advisory Board.
A BT spokesman confirmed the company had received "a copy of draft regulations, to be made under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, in relation to technical capability notices" - but did not comment further.
"The public has a right to know about government powers that could put their privacy and security at risk," said Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group, explaining the decision to publish the document.
"It seems very clear that the Home Office intends to use these to remove end-to-end encryption - or more accurately to require tech companies to remove it," said Dr Cian Murphy, a legal expert at the University of Bristol who has criticised the scope of the IP act.
"I do read the regulations as the Home Office wanting to be able to have near real-time access to web chat and other forms of communication," he told the BBC.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd has previously argued that the Investigatory Powers Act is necessary to curb "new opportunities for terrorists" afforded by the internet.
In March, Ms Rudd's comments that encrypted messaging services like WhatsApp should not be places "for terrorists to hide" caused much debate.
Surveillance of some mobile phone user data in "as near real-time as possible" has already been available to law enforcement authorities for many years, noted Dr Steven Murdoch at University College London.
The UK's Internet Service Providers' Association (Ispa), which represents BT, Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk and others, said it would be "consulting its members and submitting a response to the draft regulations".

The British fighter said he has suffered mental health issues for years and has not trained since May.
"I've been out drinking, Monday to Friday to Sunday, and taking cocaine," Fury, 28, told Rolling Stone magazine.
It comes two days after Fury claimed on social media to have retired, before retracting the comment three hours later, saying it was a joke.
Speaking about his mental health issues, Fury added: "I can't deal with it and the only thing that helps me is when I get drunk out of my mind.
"They say I've got a version of bipolar. I'm a manic depressive. I just hope someone kills me before I kill myself."
Fury beat Ukraine's Wladimir Klitschko last November to win the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles. It was 40-year-old Klitschko's first loss since 2004.
Within two weeks, Fury was stripped of the IBF title because he was unable to fight mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov.
A rematch with Klitschko was cancelled in July - with Fury citing injury - and the bout was rescheduled for 29 October at Manchester Arena.
However, that has also been called off, with Fury's uncle and trainer Peter Fury saying he does not expect to see his nephew in the ring again until 2017.
Fury, who is from the traveller community, told Rolling Stone he had been the victim of a "witch hunt" following his win over Klitschko, claiming he had even been turned away from restaurants with his family because of his heritage.
He said: "I'm the heavyweight champion of the world and I've been told, 'Sorry mate, you can't come in, no travellers allowed'.
"I used to love boxing when I was a kid. I hate boxing now."
Fury faces a UK Anti-Doping hearing in November after traces of a banned substance were allegedly found in a urine sample in June.
Fury told Rolling Stone he had taken cocaine only in recent months, once he had stopped training, and had never taken performance-enhancing substances.
He said he is also receiving help for his depression.
Property tycoon Guo Wengui is currently thought to be in the US.
Authorities did not give a reason for the notice, but state media outlets have claimed that Mr Guo bribed a vice-minister, which he has denied.
Mr Guo has recently made allegations regarding top Chinese officials and their families' businesses in interviews with overseas media.
On Wednesday, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said Interpol had issued a "red notice" for Mr Guo, which seeks the arrest of a wanted person globally.
Asked about Mr Guo, Interpol said it did not "comment on specific cases or individuals except in special circumstances and with approval of the member country concerned".
Chinese news outlets said Mr Guo bribed the former vice-minister of state security, Ma Jian, with 60m yuan (£6.8m, $8.7m). Mr Ma has since been arrested and is being prosecuted for corruption.
But Mr Guo has denied such allegations and suggested that the notice for his arrest was politically motivated.
The tycoon, who says he is no longer a Chinese citizen, said in a tweet (in Chinese) on Wednesday that the move was initiated by "corrupt officials who are terrified that their criminal behaviour would be unmasked by me".
Mr Guo has recently given interviews to foreign Chinese-language media outlets, including Voice of America, making allegations regarding certain Chinese officials and their families who control business empires.
VOA said its journalists had been approached earlier by Chinese officials asking them to cancel their interview. The live broadcast on Wednesday was cut short, which VOA said was due to a "miscommunication".
The South China Morning Post noted that Mr Guo's interviews have coincided with what it called an "international publicity war" launched by China against him.
The firm, from the Netherlands, uses data to asses the quality and potential of football players around the world.
This statistics are then used by clubs, managers and the players themselves to help with recruitment and transfers.
The firm was among 10 start-ups who pitched to global sports and tech brands such as Uefa, Adidas, Amazon and Microsoft at the Hype Foundation event.
Other ideas included nano-technology in shirts to measure a player's blood pressure and training aids to develop both professional and grassroots teams.
SciSports' chef de mission, Giels Brouwer, will now go to Saturday's Champions League final and attend a special workshop at Uefa headquarters in Switzerland.
He said he was "honoured" to win the competition after first coming up with the idea while playing computer game Football Manager.
"It's a game where you can be a virtual manager and I was really addicted to it," he said.
"When I was in college, I said to my room mate 'we should to this with real data' and that's what we did."
Cardiff University is partnering the Hype Foundation for the event at the university's business school.
Amir Raveh, chief executive of Hype, said it attracted applications from about 800 start-ups from around the world.
"We've had a huge number of start-ups applying with great innovations including wearable tech, analytics, fan engagement and broadcasting," he said
"It's a fitting warm-up for the Uefa Champions League final."
Bernd Wahler, a former chief marketing officer for Adidas and and ex-president of German club VfB Stuttgart, lead the judging panel.
"The quality of the start-ups is outstanding," he said. "We all want to maintain the beauty of the fascinating game and at the same time welcome meaningful and exciting innovations.
"That's what this event is all about - showing the world the future of football."
A similar event ran for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Loss-making BHS was sold last year for a £1 by Top Shop boss Sir Philip Green, although the deal was more complicated than the sum may imply.
The buyers were Retail Acquisition, a low-profile group of investors.
It believes it is paying well over market rates for around a quarter of its stores.
BHS is trying to secure a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) in order to turn the business around.
In order to gain this, it needs to have the approval of 75% of its landlords.
The stores facing closure have not been identified and the company says they will stay open until the end of the year while negotiations are underway.
"It is hoped that the store closure number will be kept to a minimum," it said in a statement.
Chief executive Darren Topp said the move was necessary for the turnaround plan.
"The CVA proposal that we have announced today is a necessary milestone in resetting British Home Stores to ensure its long term future as an iconic British retail brand."
Gordon lost his place to Dorus de Vries in the wake of the Dutchman's arrival before replacing him at half-time in the 6-1 league win over Kilmarnock.
The Scotland goalkeeper helped ensure Celtic registered their first point after the 3-3 Champions League classic.
"He's the best keeper in Scotland by a country mile," said Griffiths.
"The big man is top drawer.
"It's unfortunate that he got dropped but he earned his place and I don't think he could do much about the goals.
"But at times he's kept us in it and I'm sure he'll be delighted with his performance.
"The Barcelona game wasn't great but we've shown Man City and everyone watching at home that we're a top side."

Indeed, last season's top scorer believes he and his team-mates proved a point with their stirring performance just 15 days after the excruciating 7-0 drubbing in Barcelona.
"We stood off and admired Barcelona but the manager wanted us to go in there, get right up tight to Man City and show a lot more aggression, passion and desire while getting the ball moved quickly, and we did that," added Griffiths.
"I think they'll be a bit surprised at how well we played at times.
"The gaffer said that our Champions League starts with this game. Barcelona's Barcelona; they beat a lot of teams 6-0 or 7-0, we won't be the first and we won't be the last.
"There was another game that finished 6-0. Borussia Dortmund beat Legia Warsaw away from home but nothing was said about that.
"We've proved a lot of people wrong. We are a top side and can compete at this level."
Like Gordon, Griffiths has also found himself on the outside looking in. He returned to the side from a hamstring injury at the same time as the 33-year-old keeper, as a substitute against Killie, and made a late cameo in the thriller with City.
In that time, team-mate Moussa Dembele has scored eight goals including a derby hat-trick against Rangers and his double Champions League salvo against Pep Guardiola's expensively assembled squad.
"He's on flames," Griffiths said. "Everybody keeps saying 'Moussa's this, Moussa's that' but it's a squad game, I've been injured and the big man's stepped up to the plate.
"There's none more delighted than me that he's scored again. He's keeping me out of the team and rightly so but if the manager can accommodate us both then brilliant.
"If not, I'll need to sit on the bench because he's earned the right to play."
Meanwhile, James Forrest admits the experience against the English Premier League side was something to savour.
"It was definitely up there, the fans were unbelievable," the winger told BBC Scotland.
"It was a great start, we got everybody going. We gave it our all and got a good result.
"They'd won 10 in a row and we've come off maybe a wee bit gutted that we didn't win. It just shows you what we put into it.
"We won't get carried away. It was a good point but we'll take that into the next game."
But the win was overshadowed by an injury to full-back Billy Slater who had to leave the field in the second half after aggravating a knee problem.
Morris and Hayne are the fifth and sixth Australians to score four tries in a World Cup game.
Greg Inglis added two tries and Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk also crossed.
Hayne got his side off to the perfect start within the opening three minutes.
The Kangaroos played the ball across the line, and Slater and Inglis got the ball out to the centre, who made no mistake - though Johnathan Thurston missed the kick, in what was a mixed performance by his high standards.
The USA defence was under constant pressure and it was no surprise when Inglis powered over on 11 minutes.
In total control, the Kangaroos then went over for three quickfire tries.
First Morris shrugged off the attentions of the Tomahawks defence for his opener and then captain Smith got a piece of the action after Paul Gallen's neat off-load. When the Kangaroos again swept down the field, an inside pass by Slater found Morris for his second try of the game.
Morris completed his hat-trick on 35 minutes with Inglis again the provider, after the ball was spread across the field from an Australian scrum 20 metres from the line.
Morris made it four just on half-time when a beautiful high looping kick from the boot of Cronk found him on the wing and he leaped above the USA's Matt Petersen.
"I don't think the 62-0 scoreline is representative of the game. The USA did themselves proud and played some good rugby but the Australians are too big and too strong. The injury to Billy Slater is a massive worry for Australia but they have great strength in depth and he can be replaced by Greg Inglis who is such a strong player and possibly more dangerous at full-back than centre."
But two minutes after the restart, Slater had to be helped off the field, when he was tackled after taking a high ball.
Australia coach Tim Sheens confirmed that the 30-year-old had suffered a recurrence of a posterior cruciate ligament injury, which ruled him out for several weeks last year.
Slater will undergo and MRI scan on Saturday night but Sheens has not ruled the Melbourne player out of the tournament although he will miss next Saturday's semi-final against either Fiji or Samoa.
"It's an injury to his old injury - PCL," said Sheens. "It's just what damage may have been done, cartilage and other things. We're just hoping it's a bad knock but we're sending him for an MRI.
"We've still not given up the thought that he might possibly be available, probably not this week after that sort of knock, the week after if we get that far.
"I'm not going to panic just yet until we get (the results of the MRI). The issue is the knock and how much damage it's done."
The USA tried to find gaps in the Kangaroos defence but Tim Sheens' side thwarted their opponents and on the attack they continued to look dangerous.
On 50 minutes, Inglis bullied his way through the Tomahawks defence for his second try.
Hayne then became the principal danger man in the latter stages with three further tries, helped by both Morris and Inglis to set up a semi-final meeting against Fiji or Samoa at Wembley next Saturday.
More than half of firms in the FTSE 100 do not have any directors from an ethnic minority on their board, the government-commissioned research shows.
It argues that every FTSE 100 company should have at least one non-white director by 2021.
This would better reflect the current UK workforce, the report says, and make companies more competitive.
Of the 1,087 director positions at firms in the FTSE 100 index, 8% are held by non-white directors, even though 14% of the UK is from a non-white ethnic group.
Just seven companies account for more than one-third of the directors with an ethnic background. Most of those have links to South Africa - they are the mining firms Fresnillo, Antofagasta, Randgold Resources, the insurer Old Mutual, and the brewer SAB Miller.
The other two are the Anglo-Dutch household goods supplier Unilever and the Asia-focused bank Standard Chartered.
Sir John Parker, who led the review, said: "The boardrooms of Britain's leading companies do not reflect the ethnic diversity of either the UK or the stakeholders that they seek to engage and represent."
He added: "Ethnic minority representation in the boardrooms across the FTSE 100 and 250 is disproportionately low.
"This is not an exercise of tokenism; the recommendations are underpinned by strong industrial logic and the need for UK companies to be competitive in the increasingly challenging global marketplace."
The recommendations include requiring human resources teams in FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 companies to identify ethnically diverse people to be considered for board jobs when vacancies come in, as well as developing mentoring programmes.
It also recommends that companies set out their efforts in their annual reports, and where necessary detail why targets have not been met.
Accountancy firm EY, which supported the report, has been running a diversity programme for the past five years, and has more than doubled the number of black and ethnic minority partners in their business to 8%.
Sanjay Bhandari from EY says the broader talent pool gives the firm a more competitive edge. "We are making strides, but there is still more to do," he says.
The report is now open to consultation, with the final findings and recommendations due in 2017.
The Glen Lyon facility will anchor in the deep waters of the Atlantic, west of Shetland, and is expected to produce 400 million barrels of oil over the next two decades.
The vessel is packed with technology to make production cheaper and with the oil price low, that's exactly what the industry is trying to achieve across the board.
The top half of the huge Floating Production, Storage and Offloading facility (FPSO), looks like a traditional platform with mile after mile of pipes, a giant stack where the flare will burn and of course a helideck.
But the bottom half looks like an ordinary - if very big - ship. And soon this will take up permanent residence in the unforgiving environment west of Shetland.
Mark Thomas, the new man in charge of BP's North Sea operation, tells me their focus is increasingly shifting to the north Atlantic.
He said: "For BP, west of Shetland is our future. What west of Shetland will be to BP in the 2020, 2030 decades is what the Forties system was to BP in the 80s and 90s.
"We will be known, I believe, as the operator of choice and our brand will be associated with west of Shetland for the foreseeable future."
Forties was the largest field in the North Sea and produced its first oil in 1975. Within seven years it had produced a billion barrels of Brent Crude.
BP has invested more than £4bn in this development.
The Glen Lyon production ship was towed from South Korea by three ocean-going tugs.
In the Norwegian port of Haugesund, it is going through final checks before the three-day journey to its final destination.
Operational manager Keith O'Donnell said: "Some of the mooring facilities on board have to be maintained in a horizontal position to protect them during the long tow.
"Once we get here, close to the field, we can release some of those sea fastenings.
"We need divers to be able to do that work and so an inshore location is essential."
As the North Sea's remaining reserves continue to deplete, oil companies are increasingly focusing on the hostile waters of the North Atlantic.
BP is already investing in the Clair and Clair Ridge projects while Total has recently begun producing gas from the Laggan-Toremore fields.
Jeremy Cresswell, energy editor at the Press and Journal newspaper in Aberdeen, says the area represents the future of UK oil.
"There are bound to be further significant discoveries. There are others sitting around out there right now.
"In a sense, perhaps the adventure west of Shetland has barely begun."
The first barrel is expected to flow through Glen Lyon at the end of this year, with production predicted to continue until 2035.
Julie Neville spoke out after Greater Manchester Police revealed complaints about online abuse had almost doubled.
Mrs Neville said one Twitter user wrote about T-shirts with the slogan "Phil Neville's daughter is a spastic".
Others had threatened to rape Mrs Neville, while her TV pundit husband had received death threats.
Greater Manchester Police has released figures that show the force received 959 complaints about crime on social media in 2014, including sexual offences, threats to kill and harassment. In 2013 the figure was 512.
Mrs Neville said the abuse directed at herself and her husband, who played for Manchester United and Everton, was "an ongoing thing".
The abuse has included barbs directed at the couple's 11-year-old daughter, who has cerebral palsy.
She said: "I think the worst things are, Phil has received death threats through Twitter and I've had people threaten to rape me.
"We had one incident where two guys put on Twitter that you can buy T-shirts and the actual writing on the T-shirts was: 'Phil Neville's daughter is a spastic, she's a Cyclops and she has eight toes'.
"People feel that they have no social responsibility on Twitter. If people posted these things through our letterbox they would be done for stalking."
Nationally, 24 forces have reported a rise in crime reports mentioning Twitter, according to a Freedom of Information Act request by the Press Association.
Supt Paul Giannasi, of the National Police Chiefs' Council hate crime working group, said: "There have been a number of successful prosecutions against people posting offensive and abusive messages.
"In some cases this has led to the offender being imprisoned. There is a responsibility on police and internet providers to protect people online."
The Czartoryski collection was sold for €100m ($105m; £85m) despite being estimated at about €2bn.
It includes Rembrandt and Renoir works, and Leonardo's Lady with an Ermine.
The head of the Czartoryski family, which owned the collection, said it was a "donation", but the board of its foundation resigned in protest.
The Czartoryski Foundation's management board said it was not consulted about the sale, which was negotiated between Poland's culture ministry and Adam Karol Czartoryski, a descendent of Princess Izabela Czartoryska, who founded the collection in 1802.
Mr Czartoryski, the foundation's head, said he was following his ancestors who "always worked for the Polish nation".
"I felt like making a donation and that's my choice," he said.
The collection is made up of about 86,000 artefacts, as well as 250,000 manuscripts and books. Most of the artworks are housed in the National Museum in the southern city of Krakow.
All are now the property of the Polish state.
The ruling conservative and Eurosceptic Law and Justice party has been pushing to nationalise important businesses and cultural artefacts, as part of a focus on national pride.
Minister of Culture Piotr Glinski said the sale "ensures the right of the Polish nation to the collection".
The collection contains a vast array of artworks, artefacts and historical items including:
A notable absence though is Raphael's Portrait of a Young Man, which was looted by the Nazis and remains missing from the collection.
Poland's culture ministry said negotiations for the collection had taken several months.
The Czartoryski Foundation's board of management said it did not oppose selling the collection to the government, but that it was concerned that selling without due diligence - including estimating a fair price - may be against its bylaws, Reuters reported.
Chairman Marian Wolkowski-Wolski told the news agency there was a risk of the collection's eventual dispersal out of public control.
Lady with an Ermine, painted in 1490, is one of only four portraits of women by Leonardo Da Vinci.
It shows Cecilia Gallerani, a young woman in the Milanese court who was mistress to Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan.
His nickname at court was "the white ermine" - explaining the animal's presence in her arms.
It was stolen from Poland by Nazi forces during World War Two, but later repatriated and restored to its owners.
In 2014, new techniques revealed that the painting had been changed at least twice - with the eponymous animal only being added in a later version.
They were the first New Zealand team to play rugby in this part of the world and, according to the diary of one of their players, a full-back called Billy Wallace, were made to feel about as welcome in Scotland as a "plague of the small pox".
There was a dispute over money, a dispute over mouldy bread being shoved into their boots at their hotel the night before they played the Scots, a dispute on the pitch when one of the Kiwis was knocked unconscious and further rancour when the retribution came - or, as Wallace termed it, "a merry mix-up".
So much has changed in the years since - and yet so little. Scotland are still without a win over the behemoths of the southern hemisphere.
Saturday's 24-16 defeat was, of course, very different to so many that preceded it. It was nothing like the humiliation of before.
The last time these nations met, New Zealand scored four tries in the first half and six in all. The time before that, they again scored four tries in the first 40 minutes and seven in all.
Before this game, there was some chat about Steve Hansen, the New Zealand coach, disrespecting the Scots by fielding a weakened side, but respect is hard-earned.
New Zealand have become accustomed to exhibition matches at Murrayfield. No wonder he experimented. This was the game to do it. History told him that.
For as long as most of us can remember, this fixture has been a rout; New Zealand slick and clinical and Scotland fretful and error-ridden. Saturday, mercifully, was nothing like that. It was the same bottom line - defeat - but the nuances offer hope of a brighter future for this Scottish team.
We should be clear about one thing. Scotland were not playing the best team in the world at the weekend - more their body doubles.
The best team in the world has Israel Dagg at full-back, Conrad Smith in the centre and Julian Savea on the wing from the start, as opposed to his late cameo at Murrayfield. It has Owen Franks in the front row, Sam Whitelock in the second row and Jerome Kaino and Kieran Read in the back row.
The All Blacks that Scotland faced were decent, but in the minds of the Scottish players - if not the supporters - they were beatable. And, for 73 minutes, the dream stood a chance of coming true.
Scotland's intensity was magnificent. They hounded and harried. Rob Harley was a one-man wrecking ball.
There is ambition in this Scotland team. Youth too. Jonny Gray a colossus at 20, Adam Ashe is 21, Stuart Hogg and Finn Russell are 22, Harley is 24, Richie Gray, showing his world class at last, is 25.
Where before, Scotland were a soft touch, now they are robust. Where before, you would have put your life on them conceding tries from some of the visits New Zealand had to their 22 in the opening half, now there was a belief that they could hold out.
And they did. They forced knock-ons with the ferocity of their tackling. They lived in New Zealand's face, refusing to allow them to settle while disrupting their once impregnable lineout.
Scotland had attitude and aggression. No backward steps. No fear. There were far too many wounding errors, but it was still a vast advance. The mental shift in this side has been something to see.
The Scots' lineout has been transformed. It's not just secure on its own ball, it's become an attacking weapon on opposition ball. Scotland comprehensively won the battle out of touch last weekend against Argentina and they won it again against the All Blacks - stealing three and messing with several others.
Given how wretched this set-piece was before Vern Cotter's arrival, it's a remarkable turnaround.
This time last year, Scotland lost six lineouts in their Test against the Springboks. They lost another four against the Wallabies and lost 10 in their first two matches of the Six Nations, against Ireland and England, some in critical areas and at critical times. To go from that to a point where they are now targeting opposition ball is a sign of a team that knows what it's doing.
Those four games - South Africa, Australia, Ireland and England - produced the sum total of zero tries for Scotland. There's been a step forward there, too. There's still a way to go, but Scotland's attacking threat is no longer limited to Stuart Hogg.
There are issues, of course. Tight-head is a borderline crisis. Euan Murray is doughty as hell, but he's 34 and his deputy, Geoff Cross, will be 32 next month and is not seeing much action with London Irish. Beyond them, it's a propping desert. Cotter has to be worried.
Saturday was a salutary lesson for this Scottish team. You don't get too many chances to win big Test matches. If it's a lesson they heed then the Six Nations might offer more promise than at any time in the new millennium.
You only had to look at the body language of Cotter's team at the end to realise that the words "moral victory" meant nothing to them. Greig Laidlaw had a kick at goal in the 69th minute that would have put his side into a 19-17 lead had he made it. He missed. Laidlaw's demeanour in the aftermath was that of a man who knew the significance of what happened here.
How many chances does a Scottish player get at beating the All Blacks? In the past 23 years, they've never had one.
This was the moment for the current generation. There might be others, but history tells us otherwise. Hence, the haunted look on the faces of the older guard.
When an eight-point loss to the All Blacks - albeit a weakened version - almost breaks the heart of the Scottish dressing-room then you know things have changed. Cotter demands a higher standard and he's constructing a side that look capable of delivering.
Sir Mike said there were more cost-effective ways of running the service, such as ending the use of what he called "very expensive" agency nurses.
There was "no doubt" the NHS needed more money, he said.
But any injection of funds should be used to transform the way the health service was run.
Sir Mike told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "There is no doubt the NHS needs more money, because of increasing demand on it and the need to transform services.
"But it's also true, as we have seen, that things can be done better without more money, and that's what we are encouraging alongside saying, 'Yes, we will need more money.'"
Sir Mike called for:
"What we have seen in our inspections is an awful lot can be done, even at times of austerity when the money hasn't been coming through fast," he said.
"We have seen a number of hospitals actually getting better during that time, a number of mental health trusts getting better because they have focused on what really matters to patients, on patient safety and on the whole leadership agenda within these hospitals in order to engage their staff and deliver better care."
Earlier this year, Sir Mike said the NHS "stands on a burning platform", with safety at four in five hospital trusts in England not being good enough.
He told the BBC: "What I meant by that, is the number of people coming to [accident and emergency] departments is going up, the number of people being admitted from A&E departments is going up, the difficulty in getting patients out of hospital again at the other end is going up.
"All of those create a burning platform where we need to transform the way we deliver emergency care.
"We need far greater integration between GPs, hospitals, care homes, community health services, to make that work."
Sir Mike also told Today that Brexit posed a threat to recruitment in the NHS, which had to be addressed.
"If we are leaving the EU, there is a threat to that, which we need to make sure is being dealt with so that we aren't losing staff and we can then replace them and, if necessary, to grow our own, if you like."
Sir Mike is stepping down from his role at the at the Care Quality Commission at the end of the week.
Derry firm Burke Shipping Services admitted three counts of health and safety breaches in relation to an incident on 20 August last year.
The men, one of whom had only started work for the company on the morning of the incident, were unloading bags of cement powder from a ship when the incident occurred.
Derry Crown Court heard that the three men had been lowered into the ship's hold in a basket lifted by a crane when they should have used a ladder.
When they were being lifted out, the basket, which was not intended for personnel, tilted and the three workers fell about 12 ft onto the deck.
One of the employees sustained fractured vertebrae, another suffered a collapsed lung while the third suffered cracked ribs.
A defence barrister said it was accepted that the basket being used was not suitable for the task and was meant to be used in conjunction with a forklift truck.
The barrister said the company had since purchased a proper basket.
Burke Shipping Services was also ordered to pay £800 in costs.
Evermore Energy aims to develop the 400-megawatt facility at a site on the Belfast Harbour Estate.
The company has previously developed a smaller biomass-fuelled power plant at Londonderry Port.
A planning application is due to be lodged later this year.
Funding for the scheme is understood to be well advanced.
Two of Northern Ireland's major existing power stations will have to reduce their capacity in coming years to comply with pollution rules.
Some of the older generating units at Ballylumford, near Larne in County Antrim, have reached the end of their acceptable service.
Similarly, Kilroot power station, near Carrickfergus, County Antrim, will face emissions constraints which reduce its capacity from 2021.
Kilroot is fuelled by coal and oil while Ballylumford uses a combination of gas and oil.
The new plant will use the latest Siemens gas-fired technology and will produce roughly a similar amount of power as the Coolkeeragh power station in Derry.
A power station operated on the Belfast Harbour Estate from 1961 to 2002.
Mark Prisk told mortgage lenders that self-built homes should be considered as one way to boost the UK housing market.
He said that only about 10% of new UK homes were self-built, compared with 60% in France and Germany.
But homebuilders and lenders said this would only ever be a niche market.
Self-build has become more prominent through television shows such as Grand Designs and generally they involve an owner buying a plot of land and then hiring an architect to design a property.
Mr Prisk reaffirmed the government's push for self-built homes at a conference in London organised by the Council of Mortgage Lenders.
He said that the UK was also well behind countries such as the US where 45% of new homes were self-built.
A group of residents in Ashley Vale, in Bristol, were worried about the redevelopment of a former scaffolding site in the area.
So they formed a not-for-profit community action group which bought and developed the site itself.
When building work began on 20 self-built homes in 2001, the people involved had no trouble raising the finance.
Borrowing became more difficult when five bungalows were built about five years ago.
But in the third phase of the project two years ago, they only secured mortgages for flats and a community space when the building work was completed.
Despite the increasing difficulty in securing finance, Johanna Nicholls, who chairs the group, said that they were looking for new plots to build more affordable homes.
The government has set aside a £30m investment fund to promote self-build. Sites in North East Derbyshire and Peterborough have recently been approved for a slice of the funding.
The opportunity for individuals and communities to build their own homes was now a realistic option, he said, and lenders should give them the chance.
"I'm not pretending self-build is the entire answer, but it is an element I want to encourage you to incorporate," he told the audience of mortgage lenders.
He said that the number of self-build mortgage products had increased.
However, the fact that these still numbered just over 20 meant that many in the industry only regarded this as niche part of the market, and nothing like sufficient to make a dent in the housing shortage.
"We welcome everyone building houses," said Stewart Baseley, of the Home Builders Federation.
"There is plenty of room on the pitch for all these balls to be kicked about. But self-build is not the solution that will solve the housing crisis."
Mark Clare, group chief executive of Barratt Developments, the UK's biggest housebuilder, said that self-built homes still needed to be financed and expertise needed to put them up.
He said that there would be a one million shortfall of homes by the end of the year.
Some 110,000 homes were being built, but 250,000 new households were being created, as people lived for longer and got married later.
"This is going to get worse before it gets better," he said.
Mr Baseley said that three times as many homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s, about half of which were for council housing.
"We are in the midst of a housing crisis," he said.
While many patients with acute and chronic problems get treatment within weeks, some areas have current waiting times of up to 50 months.
The British Medical Association in Wales called the delays "unacceptable".
Welsh Labour, who have run the NHS in Wales since 1999, said mental health spending went up £3m last year.
The longest delay was within Aneurin Bevan University Health Board area, where patients can wait for up to 50 months to see a clinical psychologist.
A board spokeswoman put this down to "long-term sickness issues" and said it was "currently seeking to appoint more staff".
British Medical Association in Wales spokeswoman Charlotte Jones said: "It's unacceptable. It's not right for the patients of Wales. We need to see more investment - we need to see a true commitment to resolving this once and for all.
"We continue to highlight it as a problem in general practice, but secondary services are also overwhelmed with demand.
"We are talking a lot more money, but it's worthwhile."
Mental health charity Gofal said it was frustrated that despite investment, waiting times were still too long in many areas.
It wants more counselling provision and better data monitoring.
In England, treatment and waiting times data is collected quarterly from mental health service providers but most Welsh health boards initially said this information was not available.
The Liberal Democrats said it was time mental health was treated "as seriously as physical health".
A spokesman added: "We would introduce a core set of mental health data, and would work with mental health experts to introduce new waiting time standards for mental health, including for access to psychological therapies."
A UKIP spokesman said their party would increase health care spending with £100m saved "elsewhere from the Welsh budget" and would implement an 18-day referral target for cognitive behavioural therapy.
Plaid Cymru said it would increase funding by 2% - or £68m - a year until 2020/21, and the current poor standards of data meant "increased investment in our mental health won't be as effective as patients deserve".
A spokesman for the Conservatives said the party would create a new 28-day target for access to talking therapies, and increase spending on mental health.
But Labour maintained it had made significant improvements to mental health care in Wales, including the introduction last October of a 28 day-treatment target for 80% of mental health patients.
"The majority of treatment following emergency and urgent referrals will start immediately following assessment," a spokesman said.
"The National Psychological Therapies Management Committee action plan includes a target time for treatment in secondary care of 26 weeks - the same as for treatment for physical conditions."
"The overt sexualisation of women on TV is an issue for me. I find that really hateful," she told Radio Times.
The actress added: "If you do show that on screen, then at least give a nod to it being really inappropriate and cruel; that it is not humane."
Norris, 49, is to appear in the Cold Feet reunion series later this year.
The actress described herself as a "feminist", saying there was still progress to be made in the depiction of women on TV, but that it was not an issue you could protect children from.
"Although we've moved forward in some areas, I think we've regressed in a lot of others," she said.
Speaking about her son and daughter, she added: "I think you can help educate them to deal with it, so I just keep talking to both my children."
She also revealed she did not initially think the Cold Feet reunion was a good idea, and when she was asked if she liked the prospect of going back to the show, she said; "I didn't, to be honest.
"It was really good, of its time, and I didn't want to undo anything positive that we had created back then.
"But I was persuaded it would be interesting to see how they have been dealing with things."
ITV's hugely successful show, which was originally broadcast from 1997 - 2003, followed the ups and downs of three 30-something couples, and made household names of the cast.
It was not initially well received by critics but became a firm favourite with viewers, with more than 10 million people tuning into the final episode in the UK.
More than 1,500 patients aged between 10 and 19 were treated at Welsh hospitals between 2013 and 2014.
Last year, almost four times as many girls as boys were admitted for self-harm treatment in Wales.
Mental health charities are calling for more to be done in schools to teach emotional resilience to prevent self-harm.
The Welsh government is due to publish an action plan on self-harming in June - its second in six years.
Dr Ann John, from Swansea University, who is leading the plan, says an important part of the strategy involves reducing the stigma associated with self-harm.
"The first strategic objective is about raising awareness. It's about training those people who are priority care providers who first come into contact with people suffering with these issues."
The plan also recommends developing the school counselling service to include pupils in Year 6 at primary schools and combating bullying.
More than 1,200 girls, compared with about 300 boys, were admitted to Welsh hospitals for self-harming last year.
Psychologists say the reasons for this gender gap are complex.
Some suggest boys do not seek help as easily and they are therefore absent from the figures, while others argue girls find it harder to express anger and are thus more prone to self-harm.
A recent education review recommended that health and well-being be put at the centre of the Welsh curriculum.
Katie Dalton, from mental health charity Gofal, said she would like to see this idea taken seriously.
"Pupils need to know that there are support systems out there and that it is alright to feel unwell with their emotions and mental health and its OK to talk to people," she added.
Experts agree the reasons for the rise in self harm are complex.
A Welsh government spokeswoman said: "National Institute for Health and Care Excellence quality standards, which changed in June 2013, recommend that all children under 16 are assessed differently following self-harm.
"It is not possible to be certain whether the increase in admissions identifies a real increase in the behaviour of children and young people or reflects a change in clinical practice and more decisions being made to admit children for detailed assessments.
"We expect all children to receive safe services to meet their clinical and emotional needs following any episode of self-harm."
She said: "There was a lot of things going on at home, school, bullying, lots of different pressures from all different areas. It was like the last resort, but it became addictive and secretive."
Hollie said she is now on the road to recovery thanks to the Amber Project, a specialist self-harm support group in Cardiff.

We'll be hearing honest, heart warming accounts from young people as they share their innermost feelings in the pursuit of being #BodyPositive. And in doing so we hope you feel like you can share your story too.
Meet Nicole, she's 17. She's at college. She's dances, horse rides three times a week, is in the athletics team, and has a part-time job as a lifeguard. Sounds normal so far. But Nicole has to balance that with taking 30 tablets a day and having regular physio. She has cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis is one of the UK's most common life-threatening inherited diseases. Cystic fibrosis is caused by a single defective gene. As a result, the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, become clogged with thick sticky mucus resulting in chronic infections and inflammation in the lungs and difficulty digesting food.
This is Nicole's story.

He said the left-wing MP would "have to prove" he can win elections by moving the party away from the centre ground.
Winning elections was "absolutely crucial", said the Welsh Labour leader, who has yet to publicly back any of the party's four leadership candidates.
Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall are also standing along with Mr Corbyn.
The Islington North MP - who was admitted to the contest at the last minute by Labour MPs who wanted to "broaden debate" - has turned the contest on its head by topping two early opinion polls and winning the support of a majority of local Labour parties across Britain.
But some senior figures, including Shadow Chancellor Chris Leslie, have said Labour would face a struggle to return to power if Mr Corbyn prevailed.
Carwyn Jones - Labour's most senior elected politician - said it "would seem unusual" for the party to elect the "serial rebel".
Addressing Mr Corbyn's left-wing agenda, Mr Jones said: "You have to be true to your values but you also have to win elections.
"There's no point being wonderfully true to your values if you can't put those values into effect by being actually able to govern.
"That's what my objective will be in May and the [assembly] election that will be fought in May will be an election wholly under the guidance and control of Welsh Labour."
Ballot papers for the leadership election will be sent out on 14 August, with the result announced on 12 September.

Matt McClure had a great chance to put the Shots ahead in the opening seconds from a Jim Kellermann cross, but his effort was blocked.
The two sides continued to push for the opener in the first half, and Mark Smith pulled off a smart save from Mandron's strike.
The Spitfires then broke on the stroke of half-time to go in one up. Scott Wilson released Joe Partington, who squared for Mandron to tap in.
In the second half, Kellermann had an effort ruled out for the hosts when he turned in Anthony Straker's cross from close range, but he was offside.

Carwyn Jones told AMs it was the "only deal on the table" given the "lack of interest from the UK government".
His comments come after Plaid Cymru AM Bethan Jenkins criticised steelworkers' unions, accusing them of doing a disservice to members.
Steelworkers are expected to be balloted on changes to pensions in January.
Plaid's economy spokesman Adam Price has urged steel workers to reject a move away from final salary pensions.
Mark Turner, a Unite union official at Port Talbot, has called for politicians to "keep their opinions to themselves for the time being" after Mr Price's comments.
Tata has said pension reform is essential to the deal, which would see £1bn invested at Port Talbot over 10 years.
Speaking during First Minister's Questions in the Senedd on Tuesday, Mr Jones said: "Although it is a matter for workers to make their own decisions, the proposal that is on the table is I believe one that will preserve the steel industry in south Wales.
"There is no plan B."
Pushed on whether he still supported the deal by Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies, Mr Jones said: "In the absence of anything from the UK government, and the lack of interest from the UK government since the last prime minister left his office, I believe this is the only deal on the table."
The company made a commitment to secure jobs and production at Port Talbot and its other steelworks in December.
"I think it is entirely appropriate for politicians to be making views on this," Bethan Jenkins, who is Plaid's spokeswoman on steel, said.
"In fact I think that there are assembly members who have come out already in favour of the deal with Tata: Lee Waters, Andrew RT Davies not withstanding."
"I've spoken to many of the steelworkers who have said they are not getting that leadership, in the sense that they are not getting key information on what the £1bn investment would look like," she said.
She said Tata had put workers in a "gun to the head" situation.
"It does seem that they are saying it is either the pension scheme or jobs," she said.
"I think the trade unions are doing their own members a disservice by not having an opinion," Ms Jenkins said.
She said she was hearing "off the record from workers that the trade union leadership themselves are saying in those private meetings that they are not in favour".
Mr Jones described her comments on trade unions doing a disservice as "unfortunate".
Andy Richards, Unite Wales Secretary and a former Welsh Labour chairman, said "members will not be guided by publicity seeking politicians such as Adam Price, who seek to tell our members how they should vote on the proposals from the comfort of their own secure employment and public service pension scheme".
He said: "Politicians need to refrain from opportunistic posturing at the present time and let the TATA employees carefully consider all the information and come to an informed choice."
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said Plaid Cymru should not be "playing politics with 7,000 jobs and a situation that could escalate very quickly indeed".
Mr Davies said Mr Price and Ms Jenkins were "not going to step in and secure an alternative to the loss of thousands of jobs" for workers "being asked to make a calculated sacrifice to secure their long-term livelihoods".
His capture in southern Libya in November 2011, following three months on the run and weeks after his father's death, was an ignominious end for a man once widely considered Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's heir apparent.
Despite holding no official position in the Libyan government, he was long seen as the most influential figure in the country after his father who had been in power since 1969.
This stylish English-speaker was even considered the reformist face of the Libyan government - until the 2011 rebellion, and the government's response.
As rebels closed in on the capital, the second of Gaddafi's nine children vowed to fight to the end against the insurgents, accusing them of being drunkards, thugs and terrorists.
But after the rest of his family fled, or were killed, he ended up being held in the city of Zintan for almost six years, sentenced to death by firing squad in absentia by a court in Tripoli during that time.
The few pictures released in the last few years show he is missing fingers. The BBC's John Simpson noticed he was missing part of a front tooth during one hearing early in his captivity.
And he is also wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), accused of crimes against humanity for his alleged role in the suppression of opposition protests in 2011.
Born in 1972, he played a key role in Libya's rapprochement with the West between 2000 and the 2011 uprising.
As head of the Gaddafi family's charity and allegedly the multi-billion dollar sovereign wealth fund, the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) - although he denies this - Gaddafi had access to huge amounts of money, which he used to smooth relations with the West.
He was involved in the negotiations which led his father to abandon his nuclear weapons programme and later helped mediate the release of six Bulgarian medics accused of infecting children with HIV in a Libyan hospital.
He also negotiated compensation for the families of those killed in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, the 1986 Berlin nightclub attack and the 1989 downing of UTA flight 772.
Again, he is said to have been involved in talks about the controversial 2009 decision to free from prison the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi.
After these agreements, international sanctions were lifted and with Gaddafi prominent both politically and economically, Libya seemed set to embark on an era of remarkable change.
Its oil sector was starting to open up and Libya had agreed to tackle the growing flow of sub-Saharan African migrants through the country to Europe.
Mr Gaddafi owned a house in London and had links to British political figures as well as the Royal Family. He met the Duke of York twice - once at Buckingham Palace and on another occasion in Tripoli.
He is known to have kept two tigers as pets and also enjoyed hunting with falcons in the deserts - a pastime traditionally enjoyed by Arab royals - and is a keen amateur painter.
Gaddafi, whose first names mean Sword of Islam, always denied that he was seeking to inherit power from his father, saying the reins of power were "not a farm to inherit".
He also called for political reform - a theme he addressed in the doctorate he obtained the same year from the London School of Economics (LSE).
When his role in the crackdown against protesters was reported, LSE director Howard Davies resigned from his post after facing criticism for accepting donations from the charitable foundation led by the son of the then Libyan leader.
The University of London was asked to investigate the authenticity of Gaddafi's PhD thesis, amid reports it was plagiarised - but it decided it should not be revoked as "the thesis has been annotated to show where attribution or references should have been made," an LSE statement said.
Gaddafi was caught on 19 November 2011, a month after his father died after being caught by rebel forces in his home town of Sirte.
The rebels claimed to have captured him in August 2011, during their advance on Tripoli, but he later turned up outside a hotel in the capital, greeting crowds of cheering supporters, before disappearing again.
The militia holding him in Zintan wanted him to be tried in that city - and not the ICC. In the end, he was tried in absentia in 2015 by a court in Tripoli.
"I am not afraid to die but if you execute me after such a trial you should just call it murder and be done with it," Gaddafi was quoted by lawyers as saying early on in his captivity.
However, it seems he will not face a firing squad in Tripoli: if reports are to be believed, he has gone to the east of the country, where a rival Libyan government has granted him amnesty.

It is to be funded from a range of sources, including private benefactors and government grants, charity Rugby League Cares said.
Bradford was selected by a working group chaired by the director of the National Football Museum, Dr Kevin Moore.
Bradford club Manningham were founder members of the Northern Union (now Rugby League) in 1895 and won the game's first championship before later switching to football and becoming Bradford City.
The city also holds the UK record for the biggest crowd for a rugby match when an official 102,575 spectators watched the Challenge Cup final replay, Halifax v Warrington at Odsal Stadium in 1954.
Bradford Bulls have also made six summer-era Grand Final appearances, winning three times.
Chris Rostron, of Rugby League Cares, said it had seen the city's "positivity for this very prestigious project".
Brigid Power, heritage manager for the charity, said: "We have some fantastic objects and archive material in our collection, which we are continually adding to.
"Our most recent donation has come from one of Bradford's finest rugby league legends, Ernest Ward, whose son Trevor has very kindly donated some of his father's medals, boots and photographs."
Ward played more than 390 matches for Bradford Northern in the 1940s and '50s.
The animal was found dragging her paralysed rear legs behind her in South Lynn, Norfolk.
Alison Charles, manager of RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre, said a pellet was lodged in the female's spine.
"Sadly there was nothing our vet could do to save her and she was suffering so much the kindest thing to do was to put her to sleep," she said.
Ms Charles said the "unthinkable" attack, which happened on Sunday, had been carried out at close range.
"Who would shoot a hedgehog? This poor girl must have been in so much pain," she said.
"It is very distressing to think that people take pleasure in causing such horrific injuries to defenceless animals."
The RSPCA is investigating the shooting and has appealed for witnesses to come forward.
Mr Museveni snubbed Uganda's first pre-election debate last month, saying such events were for schoolchildren.
The Ugandan leader, 71, is seeking to extend his 30-year rule by winning a fifth term in government.
The focus of the second debate was foreign policy and national security - considered to be Mr Museveni's strongest points.
The first debate focused on domestic issues such as health and education.
Most observers thought Mr Museveni maintained his composure and made concise points, the BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga reports from Kampala.
However, the moderators were less challenging in this debate. Some analysts wonder whether this was one of Mr Museveni's conditions for attending, our correspondent adds.
Mr Museveni said his rivals' allegations of corruption were fiction and also dismissed criticism of his economic policies and the state of the health care system.
Eight presidential candidates are contesting Thursday's polls. Ugandans will vote in parliamentary and local elections on the same day.
For the first time, Mr Museveni and his National Resistance Movement will face two strong opponents.
They are Kizza Besigye, the veteran opposition leader, and Amama Mbabazi, a former prime minister and close ally of the president.
Mr Besigya leads the Forum for Democratic Change, while Mr Mbabazi is running as an independent with the GoForward pressure group.
Major issues for voters include persistently high unemployment, corruption and the quality of public services.
It includes media brands such as the BBC, Sky and the Telegraph.
But the top five remains dominated by web names, including Google, Facebook and Yahoo.
An annual survey of the top 50 UK web names found that the dotcoms that dominated the charts seven years ago have disappeared.
"Brands set up purely for the web have disappeared and it is 'back-to-the-future' offline brands that are doing well in 2011," said a spokesman for UK Online Measurement (UKOM) which conducted the research.
It found social media sites now hold 10 places in the top 50.
This compares to just one - Friends Reunited - in 2004.
Information sites such as wikianswers, about.com and ehow are also new entrants to the chart.
There is a growing acceptance by consumers of 'anonymous authority' - unedited content uploaded by users, thinks UKOM general manager James Smythe.
"The web has always made it easier for people to feed their fundamental desire to socialise, but the critical element of trust in social online environments has now become mainstream," he said.
The top five web brands has remained relatively static since 2004, with Google, Yahoo, the BBC and MSN all in the top five for the last seven years.
Facebook moved into the top five only last year and holds on to its number 3 place. Twitter is quite a way behind at number 38.
Traditional media companies, such as Sky, ITV and the Telegraph, account for 16 places, up from nine in 2004.
Dotcom firms which flourished in 2004, such as Kelkoo, Friends Reunited, Lycos and LastMinute no longer feature in the top 50.
The man climbed the tree near Charlton station, south-east London, at about 02:00 BST after being tracked by officers and a police helicopter.
British Transport Police (BTP) said he climbed down the tree near Barney Close, at about 19:00.
The 32-year-old was arrested on suspicion of burglary and the obstruction of trains with intent.
Rail operator Southeastern said it had to suspend services while the man refused to come down as it was too dangerous to continue running trains in the area.
Earlier in the day a statement on its website said: "Because of an ongoing trespass incident, our services via Woolwich Arsenal and Greenwich may be cancelled, delayed or diverted via Bexleyheath."
About 20 BTP officers attended the scene and scaffolding was put up next to the tree to get close to the man.
Cherry pickers were also used and negotiators spoke to the man in an attempt to coax him down.
Residents have long called for a new crossing on the A179 Easington Road dual carriageway amid safety concerns for pedestrians trying to reach a hospital, supermarket and bus stops.
The £90,000 crossing will be close to the Throston Grange Lane Holdforth Road roundabout.
Councillor Marjorie James said the concerns were being addressed.

Warrington's part-time players were exhausted by the end but a mixture of brave defending, good goalkeeping and fortune meant the eighth-tier side celebrated a huge FA Cup upset, sparking a jubilant pitch invasion at the final whistle.
Manager Shaun Reid, brother of former England international Peter, said: "These boys deserve it. No one will want to come here in the next round.
"Everyone was a hero. They died for me."
Warrington's FA Cup run started on 30 August, when they beat Barton Town Old Boys in the preliminary qualifying round, and they progressed through five rounds to set up their meeting with Exeter.
The town, usually known for its love of rugby league, has experienced 'cup fever' in recent weeks, with their Cantilever Park sold out within three hours of the 2,500 tickets going on sale on Monday.

The Grecians, with just one league defeat in their last 11, have not progressed to the third round since losing in a replay to Manchester United in 2005 after holding the Premier League club to a goalless draw at Old Trafford.
They were victims of an upset in 2008 when they were knocked out in the first round by Curzon Ashton, a side who were at the same level as Warrington, and looked in trouble again when Robinson - younger brother of MK Dons boss Karl - headed in a David Mannix corner at the near post via a deflection.
Warrington did not let their higher league opponents have any time on the ball as Exeter struggled to create chances against a high-energy Town in the opening half.
Their part-time players tired as the match wore on, with Grimes and Liam Sercombe going close, but Exeter were unable to turn heavy pressure into a goal.
Match winner Robinson said: "I just can't believe it, I'm speechless. This is what I've dreamt about since the draw came out."
Exeter boss Paul Tisdale said: "There is no shame in it. I thought my team played quite well but I don't want to belittle Warrington. They scored the early goal, worked really hard and it's a great day for them. It hurts for us."

Wahab Riaz's fiery spell put the hosts in the ascendency before Mohammad Nawaz picked up his maiden Test wicket as he induced a Bravo inside edge behind.
West Indies closed on 315-6, needing 65 runs to avoid the follow-on after Pakistan's 579-3 declared.
Questions were raised again over the pink Kookaburra ball as it was replaced after 55 overs, having lost its shape.
Sohail Khan, the only bowler to swing the pink ball so far, trapped Marlon Samuels lbw for an attacking 76 to break the 35-year-old's 113-run third-wicket partnership with Bravo in the first Test of a three-match series.
Bravo's defiant innings, which included nines fours and a six, lasted 258 balls as he showed the resilience that has been missing from many of the visitors' batsmen since their arrival in the United Arab Emirates.
BBC Sport's Kalika Mehta in Dubai:
Darren Bravo's patient innings showed a maturity to gauge the match situation even on an extremely flat pitch.
After losing Kraigg Brathwaite so early on day three, Bravo remained watchful and solid as Marlon Samuels tried to take the attack to the Pakistani bowlers.
The best period of the day came in the night session as Wahab Riaz bowled a number of fuller and short-pitched deliveries in a hostile spell that had the batsman jumping all over the crease - and earned him the wickets of Jermaine Blackwood and Roston Chase.
His meeting at the Republican National Committee (RNC) in Washington lasted 30 minutes but details were scant.
Earlier in the week, Mr Trump said he would not back the eventual Republican candidate, breaking an RNC pledge he signed in the autumn.
"I have been treated very unfairly. By basically the RNC," Mr Trump told CNN.
Since that interview, he has had a terrible few days, with an aide charged by police over a clash with a reporter and his own remarks about abortion widely condemned.
The next test in the state-by-state contest to find a presidential candidate is on Tuesday in Wisconsin, where Mr Trump trails Texas Senator Ted Cruz in the polls.
Sources present at the RNC meeting on Thursday afternoon told CNN and Bloomberg that it focused on the summer convention ahead, and the pledge and abortion remarks were not discussed.
"The chairman and Mr. Trump had a productive conversation about the state of the race," said RNC spokeswoman, Lindsay Walters.
Mr Trump tweeted after the meeting that it was "very nice".
Mr Trump is trying to avoid a brokered convention in July, which would take place if he does not receive the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the nomination.
In such a scenario, party delegates would choose the nominee at the convention, meaning Trump could lose out on the nomination despite earning the most delegates.
Ohio Governor John Kasich or Mr Cruz could win the nomination this way, with many in the Republican party uncomfortable with Mr Trump's performance on the campaign trail.
The US political world is still reverberating from the backlash prompted by Mr Trump's comments on abortion, when he said women should be punished if the practice became illegal.
He later backtracked after an explosion of criticism and said the doctor should be held responsible instead.

Tensions have also surfaced in the Democratic race, with Hillary Clinton accusing the Bernie Sanders campaign of "lies".
The former US secretary of state and first lady snapped at a Greenpeace activist who asked her if she would stop taking campaign contributions from the fossil fuel industry.
Raising her voice and pointing her finger in a rare flash of anger, she said: "I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me."
A spokeswoman for the Clinton campaign later said she had accepted no cash from oil and gas companies, only from individuals who work in those industries.
But the Sanders campaign hit back, saying 57 lobbyists from the industry have personally given large sums to her campaign.
The authority considered the 4,000-signature petition against the project but decided to take no further action.
The planning application for the scheme will now be considered next week.
The Scottish government has pledged £2.5m towards the project but the council voted last year to allocate up to £3.5m.
Opponents raised concerns about the location of the facility and the amount being spent at a time when other services were being cut.
The local authority examined their concerns at a meeting but decided to proceed with the plans for the centre.
Brian McCrow, who helped lead a petition against the plans, said the decision was "not a surprise".
He added: "I am disappointed - I hoped they would have listened to the rational argument that was put forward."
He said he hoped the planning committee might still look at another site.
Council leader David Parker said elected members had considered the petition "very carefully".
"We had a very long debate about the evidence as to why we are supporting this project," he said.
"We were able to discuss all of the arguments of the petitioner.
"At the end of the day the majority of elected members felt that the project should still be supported because the evidence that underpins it is sound."

Cleansing worker Paul Donohoe, 54, told the High Court in Glasgow that his colleague called an ambulance for 76-year-old John Baker.
He said the injured man had called out: "I've got a bad heart, I can't breathe right", before passing out.
Peter Telfer, 25, denies murdering Mr Baker in the Calton area on 29 June 2016.
Mr Telfer is also accused of assaulting and attempting to rob shop worker Owaisuddin Siddique and carrying a knife on 24 June.
He also faces a string of charges including behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at various streets in Glasgow city centre and assaulting and robbing two women of their handbags on 28 June.
Mr Telfer allegedly attempted to defeat the ends of justice, and has also been charged with possessing cannabis.
Giving evidence at the trial, Mr Donohoe described how he and his two colleagues were told by John Baker "I've been stabbed".
A recording of the 999 call made by his colleague Alan Miller was played to jurors.
One of the workmen can be heard on a recording to the emergency services saying there was "blood coming from his mouth" and "I can't feel a pulse".
A voice in the background could be heard saying there were two wounds on Mr Baker's back and he was having "trouble breathing".
The trial before judge Lord Matthews continues.
Barnardo's wants to see a 30-week limit after figures showed children waited an average of 57 weeks - sometimes in abusive homes - for county courts to make care or supervision orders.
In family courts, proceedings took an average of 45 weeks, it said.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said the government was "committed to reducing unnecessary delays".
Figures obtained by Barnardo's show that at the end of 2008 there were a total of 8,677 care cases in court, some of which may involve more than one sibling.
By the end of 2009, that number had risen by 50% to 12,994.
According to the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (Cafcass) in England, new applications accounted for less than half of this increase - suggesting the courts were taking longer to close a significant number of cases, it argued.
Barnardo's chief executive Martin Narey said uncertainty had spread through family courts, with "additional, sequential expert assessments being routinely ordered".
"This, paired with the evident lack of credence given to social workers, is causing unnecessary delay," he said.
"The courts need urgently to reflect on the damage these delays are having on extremely vulnerable children."
He said a year of a child's life was "an inordinate amount of time for them to be trapped in desperate limbo, unclear of their future and very possibly at risk".
In one case highlighted by Barnardo's, two-year-old Michael was removed from home on an emergency protection order (Epo).
He had waited more than two years for his full care order, by which time he was four years and four months old.
It was another year and a half before he was placed with an adoptive family.
Michael went through 11 placement changes between the first Epo and adoption.
He was involved in parenting skills assessments at two different family centres and was also seen by a psychiatrist.
A social worker from an adoption team saw him six times, and he had three different allocated social workers.
The boy was placed in the care of his father and his father's partner on a trial basis but the arrangement broke down.
The same thing happened 10 months later.
Barnardo's said the figures - which were revealed in written answers to Parliamentary questions from Liberal Democrat MP Annette Brooke - also revealed a "postcode lottery" for children awaiting care.
In London, county court proceedings in 2008-09 took an average of 65 weeks, while similar proceedings in Humber and South Yorkshire took 46 weeks.
The figures covered only cases where a care or supervision order was made, not cases where orders were refused, where emergency protection was given, or where children were put in secure accommodation.
There are no comparable figures in Scotland, where care decisions are handled by the welfare-based Children's Hearing system rather than the courts.
Family lawyer Christina Blacklaws said social workers dealing with public law cases were often inexperienced, lacking in confidence and simply "overwhelmed" by their workload.
She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "In London, we're running at 33% vacancy rate for social workers... so even if they have the ability to undertake these complex and difficult assessments, they just don't have the time."
A lack of court judges and the number of days they sat further delayed proceedings by months, she added.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said a family justice review was under way and 4,000 extra sitting days were added to family courts this year to deal with cases.
"We are also exploring proposals to make better use of local performance groups to give local decision makers more ownership of the system, empowering them to tackle the local causes of delay," he said.
Cafcass said care applications were up by more than a third last year compared to the year before, in part due to the effect of the Baby Peter case.
In total, figures from the body show there were 8,694 applications between April 2009 and April 2010. In 2008/09, the figure was 6,488.
Baby Peter was 17 months old when he died after months of abuse at the hands of his mother and her boyfriend, in Haringey, north London, in August 2007.
Cafcass found that in almost all care application cases, parents had multiple difficulties, such as domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and mental health problems, which lead to chronic instability and inadequate care for the children.

Ian Parkhill headed an early goal from a corner and teenager Brad Lyons made it 2-0 with a superb long-range shot.
Aaron Burns revived Linfield's hopes with a firm header from a Ross Gaynor corner before the interval.
The visitors equalised six minutes after the break through Mark Haughey and the Blues defender scored with another header to clinch the victory.
Coleraine were unhappy about the winning goal as it came from a free-kick for a foul by Howard Beverland which they felt should not have been awarded.
It was an important comeback for David Healy's men as defeat would have left them 10 points behind leaders and defending champions Crusaders.
Linfield manager David Healy: "We were disappointing in the first half but the goal from Aaron Burns gave us something to hang on to at half-time.
"I asked the players to show guts. People outside Linfield have been questioning this team, but they delivered today.
"Cliftonville are not going to give it up and we aren't either."
Coleraine manager Oran Kearney: "When you go 2-0 up at home you expect to have enough to see the game through.
"The manner in which we conceded the goals was disappointing. We know Linfield are dangerous from set pieces."
It is the second time the Chronext store on Piccadilly has been targeted in six months.
Four raiders smashed their way through the windows of the Piccadilly store just before 11:00 GMT before making off on two mopeds.
A Met Police spokesman said the gang "made off from the scene with a quantity of goods".
According to the shop's owners, a security guard had tried to fend off the gang until they "slammed the door with an axe".
It is understood a pedestrian who attempted to stop the raid was nearly hit with the axe.
There are no reported injuries.
Officers from the Flying Squad attended but the robbers had already fled. No arrests have been made.
In August the same store was targeted by a gang of armed moped thieves who were tackled to the ground by police who were lying in wait following a tip off.
The gang, armed with knives and an axe, caused more than £100,000 of damage to the shop.
Four Met officers were injured during the raid.
In November, four men were jailed over the raid.
The 28-year-old Denmark striker has not played since February and was told not to attend training any more last month.
He was fined for being 45 minutes late for training in March and also punished in February for posting a picture of his Mercedes car on social media. The club are owned by Volkswagen.
He joined the Bundesliga side after leaving Arsenal in August 2014.
However, he only scored three goals in 31 league appearances before being frozen out.
Wolfsburg director of sport Klaus Allofs said: "Both Nicklas and ourselves had high hopes of his engagement at VfL Wolfsburg, but after two years we have had to ascertain that the expectations were neither fulfilled for him, nor for us, and a continued cooperation made no sense for either side.
"For that reason, the mutual decision to end our association prematurely is thus the best solution for all parties. We wish Nicklas all the very best for his future career."
The BBC spoke to US-based North Korea expert Michael Madden about what the pictures tell us, after the recent and rare party congress.
"Kim Jong-un is putting himself on the cover of the party newspaper, warts and all," says Mr Madden, of the photo of the leader.
But he says media reports that this is the first time North Korea has released unedited images of its leaders are "nonsense".
For example, a group of photos released in 2009 showed some senior officials with dilated pupils, as if they had been drinking.
There are none in the released images. The highest position held by women at the moment in North Korea is party department director or vice-director.
Mr Kim's sister Kim Yo-jong, for example, is vice-director of the propaganda department.
"Realistically, women - as department directors and deputy directors - have more power than some of the vice-chairmen, because they handle the day-to-day running of the departments. They are Kim's eyes and ears in the political system," says Mr Madden.
It's also believed to be the women who handle the wealth of the Kim family.
"North Korea is a patriarchal culture, but in a totalitarian system, being able to wield power as gatekeepers or financial functionaries is more powerful than sitting on a political bureau, you have realistic powers day-to-day."
But, says Mr Madden, women made up 10% of the delegates at the party congress - not a huge number but a significant advance on the last congress in 1980.
Kim's sister given key N Korea post
Other than its youthful head, North Korea's leadership is notable for its age. Many officials are in their 80s.
An exception is No Kwan-chol, a three-star general and member of the political bureau at the age of 35.
Not much is known about him, but he rose to prominence under Mr Kim.
There are a few of these "millennials" coming up through the lower ranks of the party and military and poised for future power, says Mr Madden.
This is Ri Yong-gil, a three-star general and a member of the political bureau. Last February, he was widely reported as being dead. South Korean sources said he had been executed for "conspiracy".
"We have to take rumours about dead North Korean officials with pinch of salt," says Mr Madden. It's not hard for poorly sourced information to be aired.
"Some of these officials who disappear from state media are sent away for a few months for re-education, what we might call corporate training. Sometimes they are destined for high office, or a new job."
Given the timing of his disappearance from the public eye, he says - during a period of particularly high tensions at the border with the South - he had likely been sent away to deal with the issue.
He has, however, been demoted from his four-star general post, for unclear reasons, and his new job wasn't listed. "This demotion by epaulette" is standard practice under the leader and Gen Ri might yet see his star restored.
The photos - and state media's reporting of them - have to be seen in the context of a party congress which reset North Korea's political system, says Mr Madden.
In a change from his father's time, Mr Kim is asserting the dominance of the party over the military. He has "concentrated a lot of political power in the hands of six or seven officials". In all state media reporting the party officials appear before military officials.
Many of them have been given two or even three titles. This is a sign that there is a specific power cohort and they are going to have a lot more power than they did before the congress.
Though it might appear superficial and cosmetic to observers, "in North Korea, the form and the content are inseparable".
North Korea's rare congress - what is it for?
Primarily North Koreans, so they know that "if this guy shows up where you work you might want to pay attention to him".
The names might not mean a lot to the North Korean population, "but it does establish who the top people are in the regime. It's subtle message to people of who is in the know".

She runs her company virtually - there is no physical office and the staff all work remotely from their homes across the UK, Dubai and France.
In fact, Babes With Babies, Ms Devonshire's online retail company for new mothers and mums-to-be, has its feet firmly on the ground.
Business is booming and profitable - the company has enjoyed a sevenfold increase in turnover in the past seven years, she says.
Hers is one of a growing number of small businesses using remotely-accessed cloud technologies to keep overheads low and employee hours flexible, while selling to a potentially global market.
So how does a cloud-based business work in practice?
Babes With Babies collaborates using Trello, an "intuitive" project management system, says Ms Devonshire.
"It's as if we're in a meeting room. You can set up noticeboards around topics. So, for example, if we're exploring the Autumn/Winter 2014 fashion collections, Zoe our chief buyer will enter her recommendations, then others will go in and add their thoughts," she says.
The constant use of Skype instant group messaging helps the team bond, she adds.
"It encourages team chat and provides those water cooler moments about the latest TV series or diet tips that are part of normal office life. We're a close team... like a family."
Marketing is done via social media - the company has 7,000 Twitter followers - and via the company's website, where online payments are handled by Sage Pay and PayPal.
A weekly conference call and the use of cloud file-storage provider Dropbox - which can be accessed from anywhere in the world - complete the set of tools that make the virtual office function.
But physical goods still need to be despatched, however virtual your business.
The company outsources order handling and delivery to Intermail, which has a warehouse in Newbury, Berkshire. "Once the customer places their order, the system talks to the fulfilment house which then talks back to the website with the tracking code," Ms Devonshire explains.
And there is still a role for face-to-face meetings in the cloud-based business, she says. Her company is planning a collaboration with international concierge company, Quintessentially, which offers meeting rooms.
But without a traditional, bricks-and-mortar presence, how does a cloud-based company build customer confidence? How does it persuade prospective clients that the company is a solid, reliable proposition, not a pie-in-the-sky entity that could disappear into thin air at any moment?
"It's all about an unremitting focus on customer service," says the 39-year-old entrepreneur.
The customer service team - or "get-it-sorted girls" as she describes them - are geographically spread so they can answer queries whatever the time of day or time zone, she says.
Her 11 members of staff all work flexible hours and this contributes to a highly motivated team who realise "that the most important thing is to keep the customer happy," she maintains.
"The whole idea of Babes With Babies is to make new mums feel good," she says. "So throughout the shopping process it's important that the customers feel looked after. We use technology to make things more human and helpful."
Customer feedback about the website means it is "constantly improving", she adds. For example, customers from Australia have their VAT automatically deducted when they make a purchase.
The growing demand for cloud-based services has encouraged Finnish start-up, Pilvi.com, to launch a one-stop-shop where businesses can buy what they need from one marketplace.
Co-founder and chief operating officer, Lassi Virtanen, told the BBC: "It can be hard for people to find what they need because the market is so fragmented. And managing multiple services can also easily become a burden with having to manage multiple invoices and learn a new user interface for each."
His company aims to unify all these elements, he says.
"In general, using cloud-based systems and services is cost efficient. You only pay for what you use, and you won't be bound by long contracts."
Such advantages mean global spending on IT cloud services is forecast to grow from $47.4bn (£28.5bn) in 2013 to $107.2bn by 2017, according to research company IDC.
As well as enabling a low-cost, efficient virtual company structure, cloud services offer a new way of working, small business experts believe.
Chris Ward, author of Out of Office: Work Where You Like and Achieve More, says: "Cloud-based systems offer a more productive and creative way to work.
"Generation Y has no intention whatsoever of sitting at the same desk for 40 hours of every single week. Those staying in their office all week will become as outdated as the landline and fax machine."
Shaa Wasmund, chief executive of small business advisory service, Smarta.com, told the BBC: "Soon there'll be a new breed of entrepreneur who will just be doing what they love - serious about making money but also serious about having a life.
"They won't need to be based anywhere and won't be interested in sitting in meetings with venture capitalists."
In Ms Devonshire's view, the culture of office presenteeism and long commutes do not get the best out of people, and she "fundamentally" disagrees with Yahoo boss Marissa Mayer, who has been outspoken against home working.
This cloud philosophy has seen Ms Devonshire's company survive not only the recession but also emigration.
Shortly after founding the company in 2006 she relocated from the UK to Estonia for a few years for her husband's job - with the couple's toddler and new baby in tow.
It could easily have been a crisis moment for the business.
"Among my friends there was a lot of doubt and general sucking of teeth, particularly those who worked for big corporations. It's been good to prove them wrong," she says.
She is now back in the UK, but the time abroad shaped the way Babes With Babies operates by establishing the right systems early on, she believes.
For her - and many other small businesses - up in the clouds seems a pretty good place to be.

After Tammy Beaumont's 49, Katherine Brunt (45 not out) and Jenny Gunn (39) combined to push England to 259-8.
Ellyse Perry struck 70 but England held their nerve to the last ball and restricted Australia to 256-8.
Victory takes England above Australia and India to the top of the table on net run-rate with two games to play.
The first of those for the co-hosts comes on Wednesday against fourth-placed New Zealand, who are a point behind Heather Knight's side.
With a final game against a West Indies side who beat Sri Lanka to claim their first win of the competition on Sunday, England will be confident of securing a semi-final spot via a top-four finish.
It was a defeat by Australia in the last four of the 2016 World Twenty20 that prompted coach Mark Robinson to re-model the England side into its current guise.
In Delhi, they capitulated under pressure, leading Robinson to question their ability to execute even the most basic skills.
While there were occasional signs of fragility in Bristol - most notably through a couple of dropped catches that fortunately did not prove costly - this was a far more resolute and professional display.
Four times Australia produced partnerships of more than 40 but each time England stuck to the task and broke them.
Chasing what, in truth, was an under-par 260 target on a relatively flat track, Australia's openers Beth Mooney (31) and Nicole Bolton (26) put on 56 together before Alex Hartley dismissed the former and Gunn the latter in the space of three overs.
Meg Lanning and Perry came into this game with a partnership average of 104.07 and looked to be guiding the holders into a winning position by adding 57 together but again England struck back as Hartley bowled the former for 40.
This left Perry, who continued the push but lost two key partners in Elyse Villani (14) and Alex Blackwell (21) before she too fell, caught by Natalie Sciver off the bowling of the impressive Brunt.
It was a crucial wicket but not the end of Australia's challenge as first Alyssa Healy and Ashleigh Gardner and then Jess Jonassen kept up the chase.
Needing 10 from the final two balls, Australia were kept alive by a misfield from Sciver to concede four, but Jonassen was unable to find the maximum she needed from Gunn's last ball.
England's World Cup campaign has so far been characterised by a positive intent with the bat, which has seen them twice post totals in excess of 370, during which four players have scored centuries.
Having won the toss and opted to bat, England once again demonstrated that bold, attacking play in Bristol, but unfortunately for the hosts it was coupled with an inability to execute by their in-form top order.
England were indebted to Gunn and Brunt, who struck 85 between them, including five fours and three sixes, to push them beyond 250 and to an ultimately match-winning total.
Coming together at 174-6, the pair initially steadied the ship
Some credit must go to Australia, who deployed their plans well to dismiss Lauren Winfield (1) and Heather Knight (2) cheaply, as well as the initially ominous-looking Sarah Taylor (35) and Sciver (29) before they could get going fully.
Leg-spinner Kristen Beams proved particularly effective, bowling tournament top-scorer Taylor, via an inside edge, with her very first ball before prompting skipper Knight into a misjudged lofted drive straight to Lanning at mid-off.
This left opener Beaumont, who continued conservatively with the more aggressive Dani Wyatt to add 54 in just over 10 overs before both fell in relatively quick succession.
Again, poor shots cost were largely the cause as Beaumont fell caught and bowled to Gardner for 49, while Wyatt was bowled sweeping by Jonassen for 27.
England captain Heather Knight: "I always knew we batted deep. Our line-up is firing at the moment. It was a frustrating batting display; we got the momentum then would lose wickets. Brunt and Gunn batted well for us today.
"It was probably about a par score. We knew how deep Australia bat. It was our best bowling display; we were clinical. It was a brilliant game but a hard one to captain.
"We have two big games coming up. When you're in the habit of winning you want it to carry on."
England bowler Katherine Brunt, player of the match: "It's always a show with England and Australia and I'm glad we can put on a performance today. I had fun. Us girls down the lower order have had a lot of practice and I back us to do that.
"To finish with 259 gave us confidence to go out and defend it. As a bowler, I don't like playing on these flat pitches; the batters have it too good. But credit goes to all the bowlers.
"It's always nice to get one up on the Aussies but this is just one game and there are a fair few to come."
Former England batter Ebony Rainford-Brent on BBC Test Match Special
In some ways, it was a scrappy England win. I don't think they were at their best with the bat at times, or with the ball, but what they did was keep fighting.
The turning point was Alex Hartley getting in the game. When she took the wicket of Lanning, it changed the nature of it. The bowlers kept coming in. Jenny Gunn kept things tight and used her experience.
These two have not met for two years and they were always going to test each other but what a game. Well done England.
The 27-year-old would have joined as temporary overseas cover for injured South African Rory Kleinveldt.
Southee has played 48 Tests, 99 one-day internationals and 38 Twenty20 games.
"We were very hopeful of having him from 1 July, but it wasn't signed off by New Zealand Cricket. They have tours ahead of them and it's their priority, but we really thought this was going to happen," said head coach David Ripley.
"The big downside is another week has ticked by now, which leaves us short of time to get someone in."
Kleinveldt, Richard Levi, Olly Stone, Steven Crook and Monty Panesar all sat out Northamptonshire's County Championship game with Sussex this week.
In addition, Seekkuge Prasanna is currently playing for Sri Lanka in their one-day series against England.
"We get Seekkuge back after that series which isn't far away, but Tim would've been great," Ripley continued to BBC Radio Northampton.
"He wanted to play red-ball cricket and is obviously an Indian Premier League player too. But it wasn't to be.
"We've still got a couple of irons in the fire and are hopeful of getting someone in."
It happened at about 03:00 GMT at Trowell services near junction 25 to Nottingham and Derby.

However, there are ongoing concerns about the health of parts of the country's financial sector, which is one of the largest in the world.
Many of China's giant banks are owned by the government, putting a huge burden on the state.
Robin Brant reports from Shanghai.
"They did an ad about lesbians!" said a friend.
I heard "librarians", so initially I was confused. It seemed like a good thing. I often worry about reading habits in this country. But then he showed me.
It's an ad for a brand of women's clothing, and it shows two women in love.
I thought it was very well directed and acted and annoyingly difficult to make fun of. Was this a giant step?
It seemed like one, until I remembered Parveen Babi.
Parveen Babi was an actress who brightened our youth. She also made the country proud by appearing on the cover of Time magazine.
This whole lesbian thing is not as new-fangled as people are making it out to be.
In the motion picture Razia Sultan, produced in 1983, she and Hema Malini recline on a luxurious boat in gay abandon, Hema Malini half-asleep, Parveen Babi gazing at her intensely, singing a lullaby.
At one point, Hema Malini wakes up and they kiss. The kiss itself is hidden behind some feathers. This was the norm for any kind of kiss at that time. Feathers, flowers and dupattas were the preferred methods of keeping a lid on it.
What this TV commercial provides us is a more modern milieu, with less feathers. It makes the whole thing more relatable. "That girl could be my cousin," you think, "or my best friend's sister".
But cinema was there first. In general, cinema has been a strong force for social change in this country.
The post-independence filmmakers felt the warmth of freedom on their cheeks, and they were unashamed about putting positive social messages in their films. It was a part of nation building.
Until the 1990s, when we discovered a crucial fact about television. You don't have to leave the house. This has led to a decline in the importance of cinema.
More TV has meant more advertising, and this is where economics plays a role.
Most producers of TV serials are notoriously cheap, as a result of which people speak very slowly, and an arrow fired in one episode reaches its target several episodes later. TV writers are poorly paid. Advertising people are paid much more.
Consequently, the ads are often better than the programmes. Some of the copywriters do want to do good things, and sometimes, clients support them. So there have been quite a few positive social messages in Indian advertising.
We've seen three broad phases.
We're a very poor country, and some products have had to build their markets from the ground up.
Early on, in the 1970s and the 1980s, advertising taught us simple things, like the benefits of bathing, the virtues of brushing teeth, and why you should be nice to your wife. This was the phase during which I saw a woman in a bikini for the first time, in an ad for Liril soap. It marked me indelibly, and I can still remember her name.
As society evolved, so did the lessons.
In the next phase, women continued to play a big role. Advertising showed us that women can actually do things, such as buy clothes, own credit cards, and drive cool convertibles.
In phase three, which is now, socially conscious advertisers are addressing stuttering, cancer survivors and partition [the 1947 partition that made Pakistan a separate state]. And also lesbians.
But why all this fuss about lesbians, you may ask. Is it a plot against women? Is it forbidden in the Kama Sutra? Has Indian society traditionally frowned upon gay people? Not really.
For example, in the Laws of Manu, which are more than 2,000 years old, and lay down rules for everything, the prescribed punishment for homosexuality is taking a bath with your clothes on, after which you are purified.
In case you think this is extreme, consider that the prescribed punishment for forcible intercourse was the immediate removal of two fingers.
Kautilya's Artha Shastra, an economic and political treatise, takes a more economic view of the matter, and suggests a small fine. The Kama Sutra provides detailed instructions for homosexual acts, as it does for everything else.
The Sushruta Samhita was a medical treatise written around 600 BC by Sushruta, one of the greatest medical men in history. He figured out how to reconstruct noses, amongst other things. He defines types of homosexual behaviour, and states clearly that sexual orientation is something that is determined at birth. He drew a distinction between transgenders and homosexuals.
Transgenders themselves have not always had the easiest of times in India, but they have a place in our society. They have hosted TV shows. We have voted for them in elections, sometimes to show other leaders what we think of them.
The temples of Khajuraho, built around 1000 AD, feature a wide variety of people getting lucky, in every possible combination, including some that are pretty implausible.
So what went wrong, you may ask? When did we become such prudes?
The primary cause was a small, plumpish white woman. It would be unfair to put all the blame on Queen Victoria, though.
We also had a role to play.
Unable to see the benefits of British rule, we revolted in 1857. Once the revolt was suppressed, a new Indian Penal Code (IPC) was developed, which came into force in 1861.
It was designed to ensure that the natives would never raise their heads again.
The creators of this document also took into account the wishes of their sovereign.
Queen Victoria disapproved of sex, and the IPC of 1861 acknowledges this. It criminalises almost any kind of sexual activity, barring the missionary position.
Nearly 75 years after independence, it looks like the natives still cannot be trusted, which is why the IPC is still in force.
This means that this film that millions of people have liked on YouTube is more than just a film.
It's an act of civil disobedience. It depicts a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison, under Section 377. I don't know what the punishment for directors is, but if the police do their job, as mandated by her majesty, we ought to be finding out soon.

A committee of MPs that produced a scathing report on Concentrix said on Monday that HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) had accepted its recommendations.
Concentrix was sacked by HMRC last year after many low income and vulnerable people were left without credits.
The Work and Pensions Committee said up to 23,000 new cases will be looked at.
Concentrix was used by HMRC to help cut fraud and correct errors in the tax credit system, but faced a barrage of criticism.
In a report to MPs, the government disclosed that of 36,000 claimants who lodged an appeal against a ruling by Concentrix, 87% were upheld and have had their benefits reinstated.
But now the remaining 23,000 claimants who did not appeal will have their cases reviewed as well, the government has told the Work and Pensions Committee (PWC)
The MPs said the appeals process was "complex" and "daunting", and there was "no doubt" that some claimants who did not appeal had rightful benefits stopped.
Concentrix claimant 'still in debt'
HMRC steps in to sort out tax credits
Mother 'accused of marriage to dead man'
In a statement to the committee, the government said: "HMRC will review those cases to establish that decisions made by Concentrix were properly made and communicated to claimants.
"Where absolutely necessary, we will re-contact the claimant to request further information relating to their claim. Current plans indicate that this activity could be completed by March 2017 but the scope of this work will be confirmed once an analysis of the total cost has been produced."
Frank Field, chairman of the Work and Pensions Committee (PWC), welcomed the government's agreement to accept their recommendations.
In its report, the committee said that right from the outset claimants found the system was "stacked against them".
The "merest hint" that a claim contained more than a "zero risk" of fraud or error was enough to trigger a compliance check, with those who did not - or could not - reply being treated as guilty until proven innocent.
Mr Field said: "HMRC was right to fire its contractor, but many of the processes used by Concentrix were the same as those used by HMRC itself.
"For many claimants, particularly those who were unwell, lacked self-confidence or had caring responsibilities, the document-heavy process of challenging a wrong decision by Concentrix was surely prohibitively daunting"
Mr Field added: "The real answer is of course to root out fraud and error at entry to the system rather than stopping benefits in payment as first resort."
A HMRC spokesman said: "It is important to make checks on tax credits payments to ensure the right people are receiving them under the law, and this work will now be done by HMRC.
"We will not be entering into external contracts for this in future. We apologise to all those who did not receive the standard of service that they should have."
Police have released a picture of the gunman, who fled armed with a rifle.
The Cascade Mall and nearby shops, located in Burlington, near Seattle, were evacuated and police have asked the public to stay away. The motive for the attack is not clear.
Police described the suspect as a "Hispanic male wearing grey".
He was seen heading towards the Interstate 5 motorway.
Washington State Patrol spokesman Mark Francis said the fatalities had taken place inside Macy's department store.
Sgt Francis confirmed the death of a fifth victim, a man, early on Saturday. The other four were women.
Sgt Francis said the gunman had left the scene before police arrived and was last seen walking towards a motorway.
Washington Governor Jay Inslee, said the shooting was a tragedy.
"We urge residents to heed all safety and detour warnings. Stay close to your friends and loved ones as we await more information and, hopefully, news of the suspect's capture."
Emergency management officials have told residents to stay inside with their doors locked and avoid the area near the Cascade Mall. Drivers are being urged to keep nearby major roads clear.
The FBI, which is assisting in the investigation, says there is no evidence that further attacks are planned in Washington State.
Burlington is about 65 miles (105km) north of Seattle.
A 31-year-old man was walking through Waltham Abbey Gardens in Essex at 08:00 BST on Saturday when he was approached by a group of men.
They threw over him an "unidentified substance" according to police and then set him ablaze.
Detectives have said it was not yet understood why the man was targeted and it was a "fast-moving investigation".
The victim, believed to be from the area, went to hospital after making his own way to a nearby friend's house, where an ambulance was called.
He is now being treated for "serious burns" at an undisclosed hospital, said police.
Det Insp Jim Adams, of Essex Police, who is leading the inquiry, said: "We are making extensive enquiries in the area to find out exactly where and why this assault happened.
He added that any witnesses to the attack or any suspicious activity beforehand should contact officers.
The victim has described his attackers as being of "Turkish appearance".
Police said forensic tests are being carried out to identify the substance thrown over the man.

The hotel where for decades the Welsh team ate, slept and drank, just across the road from what was then Cardiff Arms Park and today is the Principality Stadium.
And it was there on a winter's weekend 42 years ago five men met behind closed doors and took a decision which unleashed one of the most heated debates in Welsh and British rugby.
Picture the scene. It's the first Saturday night of 1975, the Welsh selectors - known as the Big Five, had just seen the Probables hammer the Possibles in a final trial at the Arms Park.
They retired to a room on the first floor of the hotel with a message that the team for the opening match of the Five Nations will be announced at 7.45 pm.
Along with four other reporters I waited below in the foyer - upstairs and downstairs, we knew our place.
It was gone nine o'clock before the selectors invited us into their inner sanctum where they named the team to play France in Paris.
It contained no fewer than six new caps, among them Aberavon's outside-half John Bevan.
They also named another uncapped fly-half among the replacements, a 20-year-old from Swansea called David Richards.
No Phil Bennett? Was he injured? No.
Was he ill? No.
So he'd been dropped.
The Big Five could be notoriously uncommunicative when it suited them and it suited them that Saturday night. And Bennett had not played in the trial.
Only a few months earlier the same Phil Bennett had come home from the greatest of all British and Irish Lions' tours, celebrated as the ringmaster of their unbeaten safari throughout South Africa.
So he had just gone from being the number one number 10 in Europe to the number three number 10 in Wales, at best. It beggared belief.
There was only one person to speak to - Phil Bennett. I rang him, apologised for bothering him so late and asked for his reaction to the news. And he said: "What news?"
I'd assumed that the Big Five had at least afforded him the basic courtesy of a 'phone call.
What a way to treat amateur players giving up their time and not getting a bean for it. But the selectors took a dim view of those who they suspected of pulling out of trial matches and clearly something had happened that made them teach young Bennett a lesson.
Wales went to Paris, won a famous victory and Bevan had a blinder. They duly beat England next up in Cardiff, as they invariably did in those days and then, as now the third round took them to Edinburgh.
Bennett was back in the squad, replacing an injured Richards on the bench, resigned to sitting the match out before fate took a hand.
Bevan's dislocated shoulder brought Bennett back even if it was for a game he had good reason to forget.
Scotland's captain, Iain Mclauchlan, the mighty mouse, vowed to give Wales hell. He kept his word and the Scots won 12-10 despite Wales scoring the game's only try, from their openside flanker Trevor Evans.
But that has gone down in the history book for another reason, thanks to the support from Wales.
An estimated 40,000 had made the biennial pilgrimage north, most of them by road with many stops along the way.
I had never seen anything like it before, nor since. From my hotel room at one end of Princes Street, all I saw was a swarming sea of red stretching all the way down towards the Scott monument as far as the eye could see.
The crowd was so vast that the Lothian Police estimated it at 104,000, then the biggest for any rugby international anywhere. A few thousand more had turned away, unable to climb the grass bank on one side of the stadium because of the sheer weight of numbers.
Those who made it were rewarded with two sights they never saw again. One, Wales would never lose another match under captain Mervyn Davies and, two, Phil Bennett would never be a replacement again.
A permanent fixture throughout the next three seasons, he saw to it that Wales won two Grand Slams and three Triple Crowns, the second crown secured at Murrayfield with a try that still gets me going after all these years.
If ever one score represented everything that a team stood for, this was it - a dazzling production featuring JPR Williams and Gerald Davies, Bennett and David Burcher and, most vitally, Steve Fenwick with the most exquisite of passes, that sent Benny in between the posts.
Absolutely magical. If Wales are to conjure up something similar this time around, Murrayfield will definitely be the place to be. | There is no "plan B" to a proposed deal to keep Tata's Port Talbot steel plant open, the first minister has warned.

Cerys Yemm, 22, was attacked by Matthew Williams at the Sirhowy Arms Hotel in Argoed on 6 November 2014.
Police officers stunned Williams, 34, with a Taser but he later died.
An inquest jury ruled Miss Yemm was unlawfully killed, while Williams died as a result of taking drugs and struggling against police restraint.
Cerys' sister Shannon Yemm told BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme: "I had people messaging me. I'd already seen in a [Facebook] post there'd been a murder in Argoed.
"And then I had people messaging me via Facebook message saying 'please don't tell me it's true, it's not your sister is it?'.
"Mum was obviously crying and couldn't tell me, couldn't speak on the phone."
She then had to make the drive from Cardiff to Argoed without knowing what had happened to her sister.
Cerys' mother Paula Yemm said she first learned the death was being described a "cannibal killing" when she saw the news headlines on TV.
She said: "I woke up at four or five in the morning, walked into the living room and just saw Cerys' picture and those headlines.
"You can't describe as a parent… seeing those headlines about your child. I still can't comprehend that today."
The hostel owner Mandy Miles had told the 999 operator at the time of the attack that she believed Williams was cannibalising Miss Yemm.
But a Home Office pathologist later told the inquest into her death there was no evidence to support that claim.
"For the last two and a half years that's been over us as a family, not knowing the circumstances, just very much in the dark about my child… and what they went through", Mrs Yemm added.
Gwent Police said the circumstances of the death were given to Paula Yemm in a "sensitive way" after the family requested that limited information was given to them regarding her injuries. | The sister of a woman killed at a hostel in Caerphilly county has told how she found out her sister had been murdered on Facebook. | 39,588,723 | 458 | 32 | false |
Their union said the practice should stop as it's not safe.
But the discounters said drivers are trained and insured and some like to get back on the road quickly.
Drivers told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme unloading deliveries is known as self-tip. Some complain they aren't being paid any more for this and the training isn't good enough.
The rise of the discount supermarkets has seemed unstoppable in recent years.
The latest figures from Kantar Worldpanel suggest that between them Aldi and Lidl now have more than 10% of all grocery sales - that's £1 in every £10 spent on food.
Lorry driver David Janczak-Hogarth says that exploiting drivers is part of the discounters' business model.
"It was obvious to me the only reason you were doing it was for the benefit of whichever discount supermarket it was that you were visiting. And you forego quality control by letting any Tom, Dick or Harry in your warehouse to unload their vehicle," he said.
Aldi told You & Yours that this is one of the ways it keeps prices low.
The discounter said: "We operate an efficient business model and pass on savings to customers who benefit from the lowest grocery prices in the UK.
"The majority of hauliers support this process as it saves them time and money. It means they can quickly get back on the road after unloading."
But other drivers told You and Yours they weren't happy.
One, who didn't want to be named, said of delivery to discounter Lidl: "I turned up and was told I had to tip myself. I said no I ain't. I've just driven four and a half hours to get here. So they sent an agency driver instead with the load and he got paid more than me. Since then I've just had to do it."
Lidl said it had a policy of drivers unloading their own vehicles: "As a retailer, we are not unique in this approach, which has also been verified by visiting regulators."
Both discounters said drivers are insured, get protective clothing and full training which should take half an hour. But drivers claimed the training can be as brief as ten minutes.
Big stores like Waitrose, Sainsburys and Asda said they do not allow drivers to unload, considering it safer for warehouse staff to do so.
Adrian Jones from the Unite union called on Aldi and Lidl to stop the practice: "A couple of years ago a driver died while unloading a delivery, not Aldi and Lidl but it shows how dangerous this can be. Things can happen when a professional driver is asked to do a job outside of their remit."
The jobs will be based in Dublin. Amazon already employs 1,700 people in the city and Cork.
The company has begun the recruitment process and will fill the positions between now and 2018.
The new employees will work across the firm's businesses, including its online retail arm and its data storage service.
Jeff Caselden, general manager for Amazon Ireland, told RTÉ that the company's decision to continue to invest in the Republic was down to a technically skilled work force and the infrastructure.
"Ireland's got a very creative culture and we're also a member of the European Union so there's a large talent pool we can pull from her.
"Secondly, the infrastructure that we have in the country is very suitable for what we need to do. Connectivity is very important to us.
"The transatlantic cables that connect North America and Europe terminate here in Ireland. There's good access to renewable energy."
Figures obtained by the Scottish Conservatives showed the firm paid out £587,572 from April to December 2016.
The majority of the cash was handed out for delayed trains, while some was a "gesture of goodwill".
A spokesman for ScotRail said it encouraged passengers to claim back money for delayed services.
The data, obtained under freedom of information rules, showed that 40,002 passengers were paid compensation over the nine-month period.
Of this, £340,000 was for delayed services, £178,000 was to passengers who felt the agreed level of service was not reached, and £52,000 as a "gesture of goodwill".
The largest number of claims came in December, when 9,224 cases were settled, with a total value of £94,878.67.
During the period in question, services were disrupted on a number of occasions due to breakdowns and by engineering works aimed at improving rail infrastructure. A "free week" of discounts for regular travellers is planned for 2017 to thank customers for their patience.
Scottish Conservative transport spokesman Liam Kerr said it was "vital the situation on Scotland's railways is sorted out".
He said: "The rising cost of compensation appears to reflect the nosedive in quality and reliability experienced by passengers on Scotland's trains.
"It's no surprise the bill has surpassed £500,000 for the last nine months when you consider the problems on our railways."
Statistics have shown the reliability of ScotRail services increasing since an improvement plan was published.
A ScotRail Alliance spokesman said: "We are completely supportive of Delay Repay because it compensates passengers for delays and our performance improvement plan is all about making our service punctual and reliable.
"We will continue to encourage passengers who've been delayed to claim back the portion of their ticket price that is rightfully theirs and have made the claiming process simple and speedy.
"Due to the ongoing investment and improvement of the railway network across the country, there have been more delays than normal and we're compensating customers as a result."
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "We acknowledge that there have been issues in respect of ScotRail's performance which has fallen below the standards required by the franchise contract.
"However, ScotRail has developed and implemented a performance improvement plan and we are encouraged to see that performance in this period is significantly better than the last, and above the same period last year."
Mohamed Chemlal and Drissa Traore both had early chances as the hosts looked to get back to winning ways but neither was able to trouble Gateshead goalkeeper Sam Johnson by finding the target.
The Tynesiders went close through Wesley York's driven cross but that also zipped wide during a tense first half.
After the break it looked like both sides would continue to be frustrated, until Bennett's cross from the right bounced in off the far post in stoppage time.

Garcia carded a 67 and Scott a 66 to finish nine-under par at PGA National.
They are four shots clear of American Blayne Barber (69). Halfway leader Rickie Fowler is a shot back after a four-over 74. Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell is three-under following a 67.
Saturday's play went ahead without Jason Bohn, who suffered a heart attack on Friday after his second round.
Garcia briefly opened up a two-shot lead with a hat-trick of birdies from the third, where he missed from five feet for eagle, and also birdied the eighth to move to 10-under.
But former world number one Scott was not about to let the Spaniard out of his sights and followed his own birdie at the third with four more in succession from the sixth to reach the turn in just 30 shots.
Further birdies on the 12th and 13th took Scott three shots clear after Garcia had lipped out for birdie from three feet on the 12th and three-putted the next, only for the Australian to then run up a quadruple-bogey seven on the 15th.
Scott found the water twice on the first hole of the dreaded 'Bear Trap,' his tee shot coming up well short of the green and his third from the drop zone pitching on the back of the putting surface and rolling down into the lake.
However, the former Masters champion bounced back with a birdie on the 17th to regain the lead, before Garcia birdied the 18th to leave the good friends tied.
Scott told Sky Sports: "I feel really happy with where the game is at. Shame about 15 but that's this golf course - the Bear Trap got me today."
Northern Ireland's McDowell is still in contention six shots off the lead but knows he will need something better than his third-round 67 to take the title.
The former US Open champion said: "Anything can happen, but when you have the quality of guys like Garcia, Scott and Fowler at the top of the leaderboard it's tough to expect all of them to come back to you so I'm probably going to have to shoot a low number to have a chance."
The opening stage of the week-long event is the only one in Scotland.
The Grand Depart saw riders rolling out of Glasgow's George Square before doing a circuit of the city.
They headed south, and have taken in Kilmarnock, Auchinleck, Cumnock and Dalmellington. They are due to finish in Castle Douglas at 15:30.
Spectators lined the route with the race also being televised.
The Tour of Britain has grown in stature in recent years and now attracts some of the biggest names in the sport.
Olympic medallists Mark Cavendish, Sir Bradley Wiggins, Owain Doull, Elia Viviani, Jack Bobridge, Alex Edmondson, Michael Hepburn and Tom Dumoulin are all among the line-up.
Former world hour record holder Rohan Dennis and German sprinter Andre Greipel, nicknamed The Gorilla, are other high profile riders taking part.
Sports bodies hope that staging major events can also help to create the stars of the future or simply encourage people to get more exercise.
Hours after the Tour of Britain started in Glasgow, the Sky Ride cycling event kicked off in the city. Thousands of cyclists of all ages took part in the event, which was started by Sir Chris Hoy.
Vicky Strange, head of development at Cycling Scotland, said: "To have such a big event now coming to Scotland for its first stage is just fantastic.
"The Tour of Britain is one of the biggest events on the calendar - it has really gained in profile.
"So to have the big names coming to Scotland and having these people - household names - right there on your doorstep and we can all get the chance to go and see them up close, I think is hugely inspirational for us."
Past winners of the Tour of Britain's previous visits to Scotland are:
Large crowds gathered at the start and finish of the race will provide a boost for businesses in the area.
Dumfries and Galloway Council, which has hosted the event on a number of occasions, estimates the visitor expenditure at between £250,000 and £300,000.
There is also a further boost for accommodation providers with the huge entourage which follows a major cycling race.
Television coverage of the race, which is beamed around the world, is seen as providing a major opportunity to raise the tourist profile of an area.
It has previously been estimated to translate to the equivalent of an advertising campaign costing hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Councils which have helped to host the event will hope it shows off the attractions of the west and south of Scotland to its very best.
Across the opening stage there was a breakaway attempt, and a bunch sprint finish on King Street looks a likely outcome.
If that is the case, there are few sporting scenes more dramatic than a huge group of cyclists hurtling at top speed in their multi-coloured kits.
Rival teams will battle in the final kilometres to try to get their lead-out "train" in position to give their best sprinter a chance of victory.
Spectacular crashes are commonplace but, if he emerges unscathed, Mark Cavendish has to be among the favourites to take the win.
Aled Lloyd Jones, 48, was building a fence for a friend at a smallholding in Llandyrnog on 14 January 2015 when he was found dead in a field.
He was lying alongside his running tractor, with the chainsaw nearby.
The jury returned a conclusion of accidental death and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said it was still considering taking action.
Consultant pathologist Dr Mark Atkinson said the cause of death was a chainsaw injury to the neck, where major arteries had been cut.
Mr Jones was from Tanrallt, near Denbigh.
His wife Nerys Mosford-Jones told the jury he "was very safety conscious" and "took pride in his work".
On the afternoon of his death she became worried when he did not return her call.
"I just knew something awful had happened," she said.
Damian Corbett, a HSE investigator, said he could only speculate as to what had happened.
The possibilities included Mr Jones had slipped while standing on a small platform on the front of the tractor where rolls of wire fencing were carried or that a branch may have knocked him off.
John Gittins, the coroner for North Wales East and Central, said there was still a possibility that fencing contractor Robert Francis would face HSE prosecution.
Asked if he had been surprised to hear of Mr Jones' death, Mr Francis said: "Yes, totally."
He declined to answer several other questions on the advice of his barrister.
Expressing his condolences, Mr Gittins said Mr Jones "was clearly a well-known and popular figure".
Gillian Troughton, who contested the Howgate ward for Labour, is due to stand to be Copeland's MP next month after losing a by-election in February.
The Conservative Party is now the largest group on the county council, but no party has overall control.
Labour's Stewart Young said the council result was "a real disappointment".
Election 2017: Full results from across England
The Tories gained 12 seats compared to their 2013 election performance, giving them a total of 37 of the council's 84 wards - six short of an overall majority.
Most of the gains were from Labour, which now has 26 seats, while the Liberal Democrats have 16 and Independents five.
New party leaders will be elected on Monday before talks to form an administration
Mr Young, leader of the Labour group on the council, said: "It is a real disappointment. Labour has lost a lot of good people."
In February, Ms Troughton lost to Conservative Trudy Harrison, who overturned a Labour majority of more than 2,564 to take the Westminster seat in a by-election triggered by the resignation of the sitting Labour MP Jamie Reed.
Flanagan, 27, defends his WBO title against South Africa's Mzonke Fana at the Manchester Arena on 9 July.
Crolla, 29, defends his WBA title against Venezuela's Jorge Linares at the same venue on 24 September.
"We offered Crolla the fight and he didn't want it. If he wants the fight, he should go to his coach and promoter and say he wants it," said Flanagan.
"It's probably the people around him who are worried about the fight, but it's Crolla's decision at the end of the day.
"It's an easy fight to make. Frank [Warren, Flanagan's promoter] isn't making it hard for them. If anything, he's bending over backwards to make it happen.
"He's giving in to their demands. He's said they can have it on Sky Sports [with whom Crolla's promoter Eddie Hearn has an exclusive deal], but still they don't want it.
"If we both keep winning, it might happen down the line, but I'm not confident it will. He knows my style will give him problems and I don't think his team believe he can beat me.
"It's a shame because Anthony's a great fighter and he has looked really good in his last three fights. Let's just make proper fights and have the best fight the best. Don't be scared to lose."
Flanagan, who is unbeaten in 30 professional fights, is making the third defence of his title against the 42-year-old Fana, a former super-featherweight world champion who made his pro debut in 1994.
"People say: 'Why are you fighting this old man [Fana]?'" said Flanagan, whose most recent defence was a points victory over Liverpool's Derry Mathews in March.
"We want the big fights that the fans want to see. All we can do is keep pushing for them and hopefully one of them will come off."
Warren says he made Crolla an offer of £500,000 to fight Flanagan and that Crolla chose to fight mandatory challenger Ismael Barroso instead.
In the first defence of his title last month, Crolla stopped the previously unbeaten Venezuelan, improving his record to 31 wins from 38 pro fights.
Both Barroso and former WBC champion Linares stopped Britain's Kevin Mitchell last year.
The majority of the RBS Shareholders Action Group of 9,000 investors have agreed to accept a £200m settlement relating to a £12bn bailout in 2008.
But 13% of shareholders have still not accepted the deal, which was double the initial offer, the High Court heard.
They are unlikely to pursue further action due to the high costs.
Lawyers had been expected to tell the court that the matter was over - with shareholders getting 82p-a-share, compared with the 200p-230p they paid.
However, Jonathan Nash QC, acting for the shareholders, said 13% have yet to make up their minds.
He added that he was hopeful a "significant" number would eventually accept the offer.
Just one investor with 2,000 shares said he was "dissatisfied", versus most of the 13% who claimed "they intend to accept the settlement proposal", the court heard.
The case had already been adjourned as the state-controlled bank and the claimants edged closer to a deal.
A group of "die hard" investors were reported to be keener on seeing Fred Goodwin and other executives from the bank's darkest days in 2008 in court, rather than settling.
There had been suggestions that these investors could continue to pursue the case, supposedly raising £7m to fund it.
However, Mr Nash told the court: "I wish to make it crystal clear the legal team has seen no evidence that funding is available."
Judge Robert Hildyard said the minority of rebel shareholders could apply for the trial to resume if they could prove they had sufficient funding by the end of July.
"In a difficult and novel situation, the process of bringing an end is not as easy as might be thought," Mr Hildyard told the court.
RBS said in a statement the decision was a "positive outcome".
The bank added: "87% of the remaining claimants by value have accepted the settlement offer and the trial has now been vacated. This includes the Action Group, which represents the individual retail claimants.
"The offer remains open for acceptance for a short period to the further 13%. It was made clear today in court that this delay is the result of procedural issues. None of the outstanding claimants have indicated any intention to continue the claim."
The case had been due to start on Monday, 22 May, and had been scheduled to last for 14 weeks.
However, it was adjourned and the parties began discussions over reaching a settlement.
The dispute centres on RBS's decision, during the financial crisis, to ask shareholders for billions of pounds worth of funds after it bought Dutch rival ABN Amro.
Shortly afterwards, the government was forced to prop up the bank with £45bn of taxpayers' money to save it from collapse. The state still owns a 72% stake in RBS.
The bank and former directors deny any wrongdoing.
The bank has already settled the majority of claims over the issue, but has not admitted liability.
A new edition of the book, published by Scribner, went on sale on Tuesday.
Hemingway famously revealed that he re-wrote the ending 39 times to get the words right, although the actual figure was 47.
His semi-autobiographical work is a love story set against the backdrop of the Italian campaigns of World War I.
The latest American edition of the book will also include early drafts of other passages and Hemingway's own 1948 introduction to an illustrated re-issue of the novel.
There is also a personal foreword by the author's son, Patrick Hemingway, and a new introduction by the writer's grandson, Sean Hemingway.
Ernest Hemingway was a Nobel Prize winner, whose other works include The Old Man and The Sea and For Whom The Bell Tolls.
Born in Illinois in 1899, he began his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City when he was 17.
After the US entered the First World War, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army.
He was wounded and returned to the States, where he became a reporter.
Hemingway was soon sent back to Europe to cover events such as the Greek revolution, and later, the Spanish Civil War.
He began writing in earnest in his 20s while based in Paris.
Hemingway spent the later years of his life in Florida and Cuba before taking up residence in Idaho in 1960. He killed himself in 1961, aged 61.
The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) said its fellows had expressed mixed views about the Transplantation Bill.
It would permit people to nominate a proxy to confirm their desire to donate and possibly overrule opposing family.
The RCPE said in that situation clinicians could be placed in a difficult position.
However, the British Heart Foundation (BHF), the British Medical Association (BMA) Scotland and the Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) have all come out strongly in favour of the bill.
The BMA has also questioned why family members should be allowed to veto organ donations amid research showing nearly half refused when the wishes of the deceased were not known.
SYP said the proxy was particularly important for young people in care, whose decision-making capacity may be questioned but who may object to blood relatives making decisions on their behalf.
BHF said: "The current organ donation system simply doesn't work.
"Despite decades of campaigning to encourage people to join, and the fact that 90% of the public say they support organ donation, the number of people on the register remains at only 32% across the UK."
In its written submission to Holyrood's health committee, the RCPE said: "Some believe that 'opt-out' legislation effectively means acquisition by the state of organs.
"Removal of the altruistic aspect of donation is of real concern to some of our fellows, who feel that bereaved families take great solace from an active act of giving."
The firm's new forecast was a small improvement on previous guidance but it marks a swift upturn in its fortunes.
Just last month the company cut its full-year earnings forecast and warned about profit margins.
In 2013 it had to recall its yoga leggings for being too revealing.
The controversy over its yoga kit hurt its image and undermined the company's share price.
Its new forecast for the three months to January was raised up to $695m (£477m), from an initial estimate of up to $685m.
Its New York listed shares rose as much as 8.7% on Monday in extended trading after the company announced that it holiday season sales had exceeded expectations.
"We had a very successful holiday season driven by strong execution in stores and online during the key holiday weeks," chief executive Laurent Potdevin said in a statement.
The Vancouver-based company competes with the likes of Nike and Under Armour in the fashion and exercise market, which has grown rapidly thanks to people increasingly wearing their sportswear outside of the gym.

Normally the big vote to decide who will run the country happens every five years and the next one was due to take place in 2020.
BBC political reporter Adam Fleming tells us more about what she said and why she wants to bring it forward.
Ignacio Ibanez, director general for foreign affairs, said the row would not end until a new artificial reef was removed from waters off Gibraltar.
Spain has tightened border controls with the British territory, prompting the UK to threaten legal action.
But Mr Ibanez denied the border controls were retaliation for the reef.
The extra border controls have caused lengthy traffic queues, and Madrid has suggested a fee of 50 euros (£43; $66) might be applied to every vehicle entering or leaving the British territory.
A British spokesman said on Tuesday that Prime Minister David Cameron was "very disappointed" by Spain's failure to remove the checks over the weekend and that "unprecedented" legal action through the EU would be launched.
The row began after Gibraltar created an artificial reef which, the Spanish say, is in a special conservation area and will disrupt fishing there.
Speaking to the BBC's Tom Burridge, Mr Ibanez said: "We are ready to discuss but to discuss we need an environment where you trust each other and, with what happened over the fisheries, it is difficult to trust the UK."
He said it was up to the British government to intervene with the Gibraltarian authorities to get the reef removed.
As for the new border controls, he accused the Gibraltarian authorities of failing to control smuggling. It was, he added, a busy time of year for cross-border traffic.
Asked by our correspondent if it was wise for Spain, a Nato ally of the UK, to seek Argentine diplomatic support, Mr Ibanez said the issue of Gibraltar had similarities to that of the Falkland islands, which he called by their Argentinian name, the Malvinas.
A Downing Street spokesman called the actions of Spain, which has been gripped by economic and political troubles this summer, "disproportionate and politically motivated".
Haye suffered an Achilles injury in the sixth round of the fight and was knocked down in the 11th.
"Shane and I have come to the mutual decision that, when I am ready for full training camp, we will no longer be working with each other," Haye said.
The 36-year-old added they "remain good friends" but "agreed moving forward we weren't right for each other".
Former WBA heavyweight champion Haye had surgery on his Achilles tendon following the defeat by fellow Briton Bellew.
In a post on Facebook, he also said: "I am pleased to confirm rehabilitation is going well and I will make a complete recovery.
"Whilst I am not quite in a position to be announcing my next opponent, my passion for the sport remains unwavered and desire to regain my heavyweight title is stronger than ever."
Barcelona's Pique reportedly met ATP officials this week to discuss a 16-team knockout competition played in one venue over 10 days.
World number one Murray said: "If it comes off, I think it would be a very, very good thing for tennis."
The current Davis Cup format is played over four weekends throughout the year.
Murray, Nadal and Djokovic have all led their nations to Davis Cup glory but have also opted out of playing in the tournament in order to focus on Grand Slam preparations.
Nadal, a 14-time Grand Slam winner, has backed fellow Spaniard Pique's plans and has criticised the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for the Davis Cup schedule.
He said: "For many years they have been static. They haven't moved with the times or looked for new solutions.
"Pique is part of a group that wants to create a World Cup that would be a great and very interesting tournament to compete in."
The ITF has told the BBC: "Our focus is not on what other bodies are trying to do, but in successfully delivering Davis Cup as the world cup of tennis to millions of fans in over 120 nations each year.
"A number of significant changes to the competition's structure, prize money and format will be voted on by all tennis nations at the ITF AGM in August."
The BBC has also contacted the ATP for a response.
World number two Djokovic has warned Pique of the "complex" structure of the sport's governing bodies, but added: "To see one of the football greats coming to the tennis world and trying to support it personally, but also in some structural business way, can only bring positives to our sport."
Later this year the first Laver Cup tournament will also be contested, a Ryder Cup-style competition which will pit a European team featuring Roger Federer and Nadal against a rest of the world side.
The Laver Cup will be played in Prague from September 22-24.
The world number one suffered from an eye problem and quit after losing the first set 6-3.
A day on from his 700th career win, Djokovic's run of making 17 successive Tour finals came to an end after making 18 unforced errors in only nine games against the sixth seed.
"It started with an infection and then severe allergy," said Djokovic.
"I have had it ever since I arrived in Dubai. It's gotten worse in the last two days, unfortunately. It's the first time that I have had such a problem with the eye. It was ultra-sensitive today."
Spaniard Lopez will now face Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis in the semi-finals.
Djokovic, an 11-time major champion, has won the Dubai Championship four times previously.
Playing in his first tournament since winning a sixth Australian Open title at the end of January, the Serb uncharacteristically lost his opening service game and had to save three break points to avoid falling 3-0 behind.
The 28-year-old then called for his trainer, before continuing the match.
Six games later, after being broken once again to lose the set, Djokovic said he was unable to continue.
Lopez said: "It's very sad when one of the greatest players ever has to retire from a match like that"
The former Chelsea CEO replaces Nigel Howe, who moves to the role of vice-chairman of the Championship club.
Gourlay, 54, succeeded Peter Kenyon at Chelsea and was also previously a senior director at Manchester United.
"I'm delighted to take up this new position and I consider it a real honour to be presented with the fantastic challenge of guiding the club to the next level," he said.
Gourlay worked at Chelsea for 10 years - five of them as chief executive - and oversaw the appointment of four different managers before leaving Stamford Bridge in 2014.
The club also won the double in his first season as CEO and went on to win the Champions League and Europa League.
At Reading, he is expected to work closely with manager Jaap Stam and director of football Brian Tevreden on footballing matters.
His predecessor Howe, chief executive since 1995, will now focus on the Royal Elm Park development around the Madejski Stadium, as well as plans for Reading's new training ground.
BBC Radio Berkshire's Tim Dellor
Ron Gourlay has a tough act to follow.
Nigel Howe has been central to Reading's success as a club in the past 20 years. It's good he's still going to be involved as vice-chairman, ensuring some stability in the boardroom.
He will continue to have a huge influence, pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Gourlay arrives at Reading with a glowing CV, having done well at Chelsea and Manchester United. He will need all his skills to ensure the new Chinese ownership is a successful chapter in the club's history.
Daniel Hegarty, 15, was shot twice in the head during an Army operation to clear "no-go" areas in the city.
A 2011 inquest found the boy posed no risk and was shot without warning.
His sister, Margaret Brady, criticised the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) decision not to prosecute and said they will pursue a civil action.
On Tuesday, the PPS said there was no reasonable prospect of a conviction in the case.
"That was a rude, pitiful excuse that they came up with, that it was self defence," said Mrs Brady.
"It took them four years to come back with the same answer again, no prosecution. Nothing has changed since 1973.
"We will take a civil action and we will go after this soldier."
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".
As a result of the report, an inquest in 2011 found that the teenager posed no risk and dismissed claims that soldiers had shouted warnings before firing.
Daniel, a labourer, was unarmed when he was shot close to his home in Creggan during Operation Motorman, an army-mounted attempt to re-take areas of the city.
His cousin Christopher, 16, was also shot in the head by the same soldier, but survived.
After the decision on Tuesday, the prosecution service's Assistant Director of Central Casework, Michael Agnew, said: "The standard of proof that the prosecution must reach in a criminal trial is the high one of beyond reasonable doubt."
Margaret Brady told BBC Radio Foyle that the family will continue to fight for justice.
"My reaction was just dumbfounded," Mrs Brady said. "It makes me more determined to go on because somebody has to stand up for the innocent victims.
"My brother was innocent and these people need to be held to account."
In 2007, the British government apologised to the family after describing Daniel Hegarty as a terrorist.

Illness, pre-existing conditions or people not following pre-surgery guidance were among the reasons Aneurin Bevan health board scrapped surgeries.
There were 3,514 cancellations in 2013-14, 3,860 in 2014-15, 3,643 in 2015-16 and 1,986 so far in 2016.
The health board said cancellations had reduced in the past year.
Checks are made on people going under the knife to ensure they are able to go through with it and if any problems appear, their surgery is cancelled.
The gynaecology team and trauma and orthopaedic department were two specialties with the highest number of cancellations where people were deemed unfit for surgery.
Between 2013 and 2016, these departments cancelled 2,885 and 2,328 operations respectively.
More than 130 operations had to be called off as people had not followed the instructions they were not given prior to surgery, such as not eating or drinking before going under the knife.
A spokeswoman for the health board said: "Unfortunately it is sometimes necessary to cancel non essential surgery when a patient is unwell and not fit for surgery or has not followed pre operative advice.
"These numbers are relatively low, and our figures indicate that the instances of cancellations have reduced during the last year and it is important that we continue to work with and support our patient to rearrange their surgery as soon as possible."
Video footage appeared to show two white police officers holding down and fatally shooting Alton Sterling, 37, in Baton Rouge.
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said the US attorney's office, the FBI and state police will also be involved.
"The video is disturbing to say the least," he said.
Baton Rouge Police Chief Carl Dabadie Jr said Mr Sterling was armed at the time of the confrontation, but questions still remain about the circumstances surrounding his death.
"Like you, there is a lot that we do not understand. And at this point, like you, I am demanding answers," the chief said.
The shooting on Tuesday sparked protests from about 200 people who gathered at the scene where Mr Sterling was shot, blocking roads and chanting: "Black lives matter".
The governor called for unity and urged protesters to remain calm as authorities conduct an investigation into the shooting.
"I have full confidence that this matter will be investigated thoroughly, impartially and professionally, and I will demand that's the way it's conducted." Governor Bel Edwards said.
Officers Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II were placed on administrative leave over the death, officials said.
The incident comes amid mounting tension in the US over the deaths of black men at the hands of police.
There are more than 1,000 deadly shootings by police in the US each year, and disproportionate numbers of those killed are black Americans.
Police spokesman Cpl L'Jean McKneely said the officers had been called in after reports that a man selling CDs outside a convenience store had threatened someone with a gun.
Mobile video footage appeared to show two officers wrestling a man in a red shirt to the floor.
One of the officers pinned the man's arm to the floor with his knee and then appeared to pull out his gun and point it at the man.
A voice is heard shouting: "He's got a gun. Gun." Then shots ring out and the camera moves away.
Mr Sterling, a father of five, died at the scene.
Cameron Sterling, Mr Sterling's 15-year-old son, began crying at a news conference as his mother spoke.
"He had to watch this as this was put all over the outlets," Quinyetta McMillon, Cameron Sterling's mother said.
"As a mother I have now been forced to raise a son who is going to remember what happened to his father."
Michael McClanahan, president of the city's local NAACP, which is an African-American civil rights organisation, told reporters Mr Sterling's death was indicative of a greater problem with the "the culture of the Baton Rouge Police Department".
"This incident is one of many," he said.
The BBC went to one of the city's toughest neighbourhoods, postal code 70805, which adjoins the district where Mr Sterling was killed.
These are the highest figures on record from the Trussell Trust network of food banks.
The Trust has linked increasing demand with the rollout of the universal credit benefits reform.
But the Department for Work and Pensions says food bank use has "complex" causes and it is "misleading" to point to any one cause.
The food bank figures, from April 2016 to March 2017, show an increase of about 74,000 emergency supplies provided compared with the previous year, based on a network of more than 400 distribution centres.
The charity says that delays in benefits, debt and insecure employment are among the reasons that people have to turn to food banks for help.
In particular, the charity says that the introduction of universal credit seems to be causing a gap in benefits which causes families to turn to food banks.
Trust chief executive David McAuley said the findings provided an "early warning" about "unforeseen consequences" from the benefits changes.
But a Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said there were more complex reasons underlying the use of food banks.
"Under universal credit people are moving into work faster and staying in work longer than under the old system," he said.
The food bank charity reports that more than 400,000 of the recipients were children.
Official figures published last month show that most child poverty is now concentrated in working families.
More than two-thirds of children classified as living in poverty are in families where at least one parent is working - the highest levels on record.
Officers at first did not treat Stephen Phillips's death as suspicious after he was found in his Wolverhampton flat.
His family became suspicious when they found two mobile phones were missing.
Tests proved he had been struck before he fell. Lewis Thornton, 24, has been jailed for 10 years for Mr Phillips' manslaughter and robbery.
Mr Phillips, aged, 54 and a father of six, died from a head injury on 11 March 2015 at his home in Dudley Road, Blakenhall.

He had been punched in the head in a nearby street, causing him to fracture his skull as he fell. He managed to walk back to his flat but died from his head injury and internal bleeding.
The court heard his death was at first treated by police as non-suspicious, as it was thought he had fallen at home after drinking.
But his family went back to the police when they realised his phones were missing.
"We rang the police but we were told we would have to wait for the post-mortem," his partner, Tina Fury, said.
"So we were out questioning everyone on the Dudley Road."
Eventually, a forensic post-mortem test, a week after the death, revealed the injuries.
Det Insp Justin Spanner said he thought it was fair to say that at the beginning of the case some wrong decisions were made, but with "the best intentions".
"We quickly learnt from the medical evidence that in fact internally the wounds to Stephen were greater than we thought and when we put that alongside the acknowledgment two mobile phones had gone missing, we quickly realised that this was a homicide," he said.
The figure is up from the average of 91.9% recorded in March, but below the 98% national standard set in 2007.
The Scottish government said it wanted to see all A&Es reach a target milestone of 95% by September 2014.
Health Secretary Alex Neil said his plan to reduce waiting was continuing with a further £6.8m investment.
He explained: "There is no doubt that unscheduled care continues to be a priority. As we continue to deal with the requirements of an ageing population, we are seeing an increasing requirement for more effective unscheduled care.
"That is why we continue our actions to improve unscheduled care in Scotland and this latest funding will help to ensure people are seen quickly and treated effectively."
In June 2013, six NHS Boards achieved the waiting time standard of 98% of patients admitted, transferred or discharged from A&E within four hours. The remaining eight NHS Boards recorded more than 91%.
In June, Greater Glasgow and Clyde recorded the lowest figure of 91.7% and Tayside recorded the highest at 99.2%.

A mental health worker from north-west London explains how she feared she would never find the right childcare to cover her flexible working pattern.
She and her husband both work weekend and evening shifts.
Her situation was resolved when she came across a scheme run by Brent Council which matches approved childminders with families working unsociable hours.
Almost a million adults in London have some form of mental illness from anxiety or depression or something more complex requiring specialised help.
Many people do not find it easy to talk about their condition, especially to their employer. But others have found huge support.
Jessica, who works for an auditor and has depression, said she was initially "frightened" about telling her colleagues but found that her employer KPMG was very understanding and lets her to work from home when needed.
A woman who left care at the age of 15 has said she hopes to launch a clothing range thanks to help she has received.
Kevani said she was initially excited when she became self-sufficient but said "I didn't anticipate that with such a small budget I had to pay for so many things".
The turning point came when the Who Cares? trust helped her with practical and emotional support.
An 88-year-old widow who was struggling with day-to-day challenges including washing and ironing has invited a young person to live with for free in exchange for help.

Mary said: "It's nice to have a young person around and likes the same sort of television as I do."
Eve Muirhead's rink won 8-6 in Glasgow to make it six wins from six at the Braehead Arena.
However, Tuesday was a bad day for the Scottish men, who suffered defeats to Finland and Germany.
The Finns edged the morning session 6-5 to pick up their first win of the contest, while Germany triumphed 4-2.
It leaves Tom Brewster's rink in a tie for fifth place on three victories and four defeats, with defending champions Sweden the only team already guaranteed a place in the semi-finals after six wins - their sole defeat coming against the Scots.
Brewster and his team meet Italy and Russia on Wednesday needing two wins to keep their hopes of progress alive.
The men require a top-seven finish in the standings to book Scotland a place at next year's World championship, which is vital for Olympic qualifying points.

Nursey of Bungay, in Suffolk, opened in 1846 but closed on Wednesday after failing to secure a buyer.
The firm had 85 staff in the mid-1980s, but only employed seven people recently and had not made a profit in six years.
Owner Tim Nursey said he was "sad to see it go".
Mr Nursey, 64, was the fifth generation of his family to work at the company and started his training when he was 18.
He said the firm, which made coats, hats, slippers and gilets, had suffered another bad winter, with a lot of shops it used to sell to closing.
An online shop also failed to produce dividends.
A number of buyers had recently expressed interest in the firm, which also lists BBC football commentator John Motson and guitarist Eric Clapton as customers, but Mr Nursey said the deals "didn't work out".
The company's employees have been handed redundancy payments.
"The stress I have gone through in the past month has been unbelievable," said Mr Nursey.
"I was taking five-mile runs before work just to combat the stress.
"We had the chance to sell the brand and the stock, but for various reasons I also said 'No' to that.
"We'll keep the shop open for another week and will then reopen again in mid-October for a while to clear the stock.
"I'd like to say thank you to our customers and the people of Suffolk and Norfolk who have been very loyal to us over the years."
The city of Hamburg had rejected Juergen Roemer's plea to be put in a more favourable tax category.
But that decision may amount to sex discrimination, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled.
Mr Roemer claimed he was entitled to 302 euros (£265) a month more.
The judges said that under German law same-sex partnerships - called "registered life partnerships" - are now comparable to marriage.
Mr Roemer had worked for the Hamburg city authorities for 40 years. He retired in 1990 and in October 2001 told his former employer that he had established a registered life partnership with his male partner.
Mr Roemer had been living with his companion since 1969 and German same-sex partnerships were given legal status in February 2001.
While many European states recognise homosexual civil unions, only Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, Norway and Iceland legally acknowledge same-sex marriage.
The ECJ ruling on Tuesday may give legal weight to similar claims in other EU countries.
The judges said individuals could claim against a local authority for the right to equal treatment under EU law, even if national law contained no provision relevant to their case.

Some of the nation's brightest talents from athletics, swimming, boxing, judo, tennis and rugby 7s will compete in the Games from 19-23 July.
The athletics squad includes Sarah Omoregie, 17, from Cardiff, the younger sister of 110m hurdles star David.
A squad of 12 to play for Wales in the women's rugby 7s tournament will be announced soon.
"It's very encouraging to see the calibre of young Welsh athletes coming through," said chair of Commonwealth Games Wales, Helen Phillips.
"Team Wales did particularly well in the 2015 Youth Games in Samoa, bringing home nine medals to Wales and delivering some outstanding performances.
"I have every confidence that our athletes will do their very best and make us proud once again this summer."
Rebecca Sutton, 16, from Bridgend, is one of 10 swimmers selected. She won two silvers and a bronze for Wales at the 2015 Games in Samoa.

"It just pushes me and makes me want to be on a podium at Tokyo 2020."
Fellow swimmers Jazz Carlin and Elinor Barker, both 2016 Olympic medallists, began their careers by representing Wales at Commonwealth Youth Games.
Sutton - who trains in Cardiff - says being at a big multi-sport competition is a vital experience.
"Last time I went I was the youngest on the team and I was a bit nervous," she admitted.
"But when I got out there it was just incredible. This time I'll already have that knowledge.
"Fingers crossed I can bring back a gold for Team Wales."
The first Commonwealth Youth Games was held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2000.
Seventy nations will compete in nine different sports this summer. The event claims to be the biggest sporting competition ever held in the Bahamas.

The police fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse the demonstrators who were throwing stones.
Opposition groups accuse current Islamist President Mohammed Morsi of betraying the goals of revolution.
Mr Morsi's supporters say the protesters want to bring down Egypt's first democratically elected leader.
Hosni Mubarak - who had ruled the country's for almost 30 years - was swept from power in a wave of mass protests on 11 February 2011.
Egypt voices: Life since Mubarak
Monday's clashes outside the presidential palace reportedly began after some of the demonstrators tried to break through a barbed wire barrier protecting the building's main gate.
Some in the crowd chanted: "The people want to bring down the regime!"
The protesters also sprayed graffiti on the palace walls, which read: "Leave!"
There were no immediate reports of any injuries.
Egypt's secular opposition accuses President Morsi - a member of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood - of imposing a new form of authoritarianism and betraying the values of the 2011 uprising.
Mr Morsi rejects the protesters' claim. Earlier this month, he warned that security forces would "act with utmost decisiveness" to protect state institutions and those groups behind the violence would be held "politically accountable".
The current unrest began on 24 January in Cairo - on the eve of the second anniversary of the revolution.
Protests have since spread to several cities across the country, leaving dozens of people dead and hundreds injured.
Wayne Letherby, 42, died on 17 April following the attack in De Winton Street, Tonypandy.
Jamie Leyshon from Tonypandy and Dean Doggett from Penygraig, both 26, only confirmed their names via video link at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday.
They were remanded in custody until 7 August.
The preliminary hearing was told that both men are charged with the murder of Mr Letherby and attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm on his son Jordan.
The prosecution said the victims were subjected to punches, kicks and stabs.
Two other people have been arrested and bailed while investigations continue.
In a tribute on Monday, Mr Letherby's family said they had been left devastated by his death and described him as a "hard working man who loved all of his family". | Lorry drivers have said Aldi and Lidl force them to do the jobs of warehouse staff as part of efforts to cut prices.

They attacked the Joint Mobile Group (JMG) office in the Chechen capital, Grozny, on Saturday evening.
Nobody was hurt but there are concerns over the safety of two activists.
The JMG had criticised Ramzan Kadyrov after he called for collective punishment of the families of rebels behind a recent attack in Grozny.
Islamist rebels launched an assault on the city on 4 December, killing 14 police officers. Nine militants also died.
In the wake of that attack Kadyrov called for relatives of the militants to be punished. Not long afterwards masked men burnt down homes in the village of Yandi.
JMG founder Igor Kalyapin formally complained in Moscow last week about Mr Kadyrov, after which the Kremlin-backed leader publicly accused the NGO official of "backing criminals".
A demonstration was held on Saturday in Grozny against the human rights group, after which armed men tried unsuccessfully to enter its office before setting it on fire.
The extent of the damage to JMG's office is unclear.
Video published by Russian independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta shows a fire engine outside a four-storey building, which does not look seriously damaged.
The two activists, Dmitry Dimitriyev and Sergei Babinets, reportedly called police to their flat on Sunday to make a complaint about the arson attack in the office next door.
Instead, the police searched the two men and confiscated their laptops, cameras and phones, Mr Kalyapin wrote on Facebook (in Russian).
Their phones were later returned but when Mr Dimitriyev tried to leave the building he was physically prevented from doing so, the JMG founder added.
A Chechen police source denied harassing the JMG staff, accusing them of spreading misinformation.
He told Russia's Interfax news agency the fire was accidental.

Craig Mackinlay, the MP for South Thanet, is being investigated over alleged overspending in the 2015 general election campaign.
Mr Mackinlay defeated the then UKIP leader Nigel Farage in the ballot.
Karl McCartney, whose bid to retain his Lincoln seat is also being probed, says a draft report into the controversy has been withheld by Tory central office.
Seventeen police forces across the country are looking into whether some MPs' agents should have filed costs associated with battle bus visits to their constituencies in their local expenses.
The Tories said they had been campaigning "across the country for the return of a Conservative government" and, as a result, associated costs were regarded as national not local expenditure.
Mr McCartney has accused Conservative Central Office (CCHQ) of keeping back from MPs a draft report from the Electoral Commission on the investigation.
In an email leaked to Sky News, he wrote to the party chairman, Patrick McLoughlin saying MPs felt "completely cast adrift" and "left to fend for themselves".
The message continued: "We didn't create this mess, the clever dicks at CCHQ did, and I don't see their professional reputations being trashed in the media much."
In a statement Mr McCartney said: "The Conservative Party advised us that the so-called campaign 'battle buses' were, as at previous general elections and in keeping with the practice of both the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats, a national campaign expense.
"This meant that they were not to be declared in our own election expenses."
The office of Craig Mackinlay, who was questioned on Saturday, said it would not be commenting.
The Tories have blamed an "administrative error" for not declaring £38,000 of expenses for their Battlebus tour.
It follows a Channel 4 investigation into spending in key constituencies.
In June, Kent Police were given a further 12 months to investigate the claims of improper spending.
Granting the extension, District Judge Justin Barron described the allegations as "far-reaching".

Two adults and four children in East Ham, east London, had to be treated for carbon monoxide poisoning, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said.
London Ambulance Service (LAS) was called on Wednesday at about 16:20 GMT.
Fire brigade head, Dave Brown, said it was the first incident of its kind he had seen in 28 years.
Mr Brown, head of operations, prevention and response, said: "I have never heard of anybody using a barbecue to dry clothes let alone using one indoors."
He branded the woman's behaviour "dangerous".
LFB said the elderly woman lit the barbecue in the garden of the home in Hockley Avenue and then placed it in the kitchen with the door open.
Source: Health and Safety Executive
She left the house with her four grandchildren, aged between 10 months and four, and two daughters-in-law, aged 26 and 29, inside. Someone then closed the door.
LAS said it responded to reports of people collapsing and the patients were taken to Whipps Cross Hospital. They have since been released.
Mr Brown said: "Never, ever bring a lit or smouldering barbecue indoors.
"Not only is it a serious fire risk but it also emits carbon monoxide which is a poisonous gas that can kill or seriously injure."
Carbon monoxide is produced when fuels such as gas, oil, charcoal, coal and wood do not burn completely.

Accountants Deloitte said a consultant was given the specifications for a tender two days before his competitors.
It also recommended rule changes to its declarations of interest after considering a research firm contract.
Sport Wales - whose chairman and vice-chairwoman remain suspended amid concerns its board was dysfunctional - accepted the report.
But the body, which promotes and distributes money for elite and grassroots sport, said Deloitte found no impropriety.
Sam Whale, managing director of a firm called Unforgiving Minute, won a £33,600 contract in April 2016 to mentor Sport Wales staff.
The Deloitte report said he was given the tender specification by Sport Wales chief Sarah Powell on 4 April, two days before other bidders.
Emailing Sport Wales staff members on 4 April, Ms Powell said she was in the process of confirming Mr Whale's contract.
The email is one of a series seen by BBC Wales, including correspondence between the two discussing the terms of the contract, including work locations, timelines and prices, nearly a month before it went out to tender.
It culminates in an email, two days before the rest of the tender emails were sent, from Ms Powell to Mr Whale which said: "I'm still not 100% sure how we are going to finalise this tender but if you could provide us with a submission based on this I can at least get this moving in our system here.
"I was thinking if we did this I can send to a couple of people and apologise for the short notice but this is where we are and see who comes back?"
Unforgiving Minute was the only tender as the other companies were unable to respond within the required time frame.
Deloitte's report, leaked to BBC Wales, said: "There is a risk that there may be a perception of some bidders being given undue advantage during the tender process which may be perceived as undermining the spirit of transparency for public procurement."
There was no response from Mr Whale when contacted by BBC Wales. There was also no suggestion of impropriety by him in the report.
Deloitte also looked at four contracts, worth a total of £71,000, awarded to Beaufort Research since 2011.
The accountants said three out of four relevant tender evaluation forms could not be located, meaning Deloitte was unable to determine who was involved in assessing the tenders.
Deloitte described the lack of documentation as an oversight but said there was evidence elsewhere that proper procedures were being followed.
The managing director of Beaufort Research is Fiona McAllister, sister of the then chairwoman of Sport Wales, Laura McAllister.
Deloitte said there was no evidence the chairwoman was involved in the decision-making process but that, while earlier declarations of interest were made by Laura McAllister, she had not done so since 2013.
However, Sport Wales staff are only asked to declare interests of immediate family members, which does not include siblings, and Deloitte said Sport Wales may want to consider using a broader definition.
Beaufort Research also failed to make any explicit declaration of interest, even though the tender document asked it to make known any relevant conflicts of interest.
The report said: "There is a risk that the principle of transparency and fairness may be perceived to be undermined, resulting in reputational damage to Sport Wales if perceived conflicts of interest are not declared."
Laura McAllister said: "As confirmed by the internal auditors, all declarations of interest were made by me as chair in accordance with guidelines, in full at all times.
"Clearly, there would be no involvement from a board chair in contract awards of any kind."
Fiona McAllister said Beaufort Research "submitted a large number of tenders to Sport Wales, winning some contracts and losing others, but always via a competitive and rigorous procurement process".
"I was not involved in the bid team for the four contracts awarded since 2011 or in carrying out any of the research for these contracts," she added.
"Beaufort has always dealt with the Sport Wales research and evaluation team on tenders and projects, never with the chair or any of the board members.
"Therefore we did not believe there was a need to declare a conflict of interest."
A Sport Wales spokesman said: "This report made a number of recommendations relating to the procurement of external consultants across the organisation and identified a number of areas where procedures could be improved.
"As a result of these recommendations a set of management responses were provided to and accepted by Deloitte.
"Those responses were endorsed by the Sport Wales audit and risk committee at their meeting on 10 March 2017.
"At no point in this report do Deloitte suggest any impropriety on the part of staff within Sport Wales."

The green mamba was found on a ship that had docked on Wednesday from west Africa.
It is understood workers on the vessel put the snake into a box before calling animal welfare experts.
A police escort was used to transport the animal to a Scottish SPCA animal centre in Drumoak. However, the snake was later euthanised.
The SSPCA said the nearest anti-venom was held in London and that the snake was destroyed amid health and safety concerns.

Kerry Gillespie, now 36, said she had gone with two friends to watch Celtic footballers training in the east end of Glasgow.
They spotted the body of Derek Sheerin on waste ground behind the Celtic social club, near the club's stadium.
She was giving evidence at the trial of Philip Morrison, 40, who denies murdering Mr Sheerin in September 1994.
It is alleged that Mr Morrison, from Londonderry, compressed Mr Sheerin's neck with a belt and robbed him of a watch, tobacco and £20.
Ms Gillespie said that on the 25 September, she and her friends were walking in single file, with her at the front, when she saw the body.
She was asked by prosecutor Iain McSporran: "What did you do when you saw the body?"
"I screamed and ran back," she told the High Court in Glasgow.
Ms Gillespie said she ran towards two men who were walking on a path from London Road towards the River Clyde.
One of the men, 49-year-old Duncan Innes, said he had been walking to nearby allotments with a friend.
After being approached by the girls, he went to look at the half-naked body before calling police.
He described seeing papers scattered around the body.
Asked by Mr McSporran what he thought had happened, he said: "I thought maybe it was a sex thing went wrong. Two guys having sex a certain way and it has gone wrong."
The court also heard a statement from James Grayson, the first police officer on the scene, who is no longer alive.
Mr Grayson said he responded to a call at 11:30 on 26 September, 1994.
In his statement, he said: "Due to the distressed condition of the young girls I put them in the rear of my van.
"I went and saw a man's body. A belt was around his neck, his trousers were at his ankles and papers were scattered around."

Briton Fury, 27, stunned the sport by beating Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday - ending the Ukrainian's nine-year undefeated reign.
Immediately after the bout 30-year-old Wilder - who is due to fight in January - tweeted he was "coming" for Fury.
"I want that fight to happen as soon as possible," Wilder said.
He told BBC Radio 5 live on Monday: "I've got to fight someone in January and after that fight I would love to have a unification bout - and guess what, I wouldn't mind coming to the UK for that one.
"No matter where it might be, I want to be the undisputed champion of the world."
Wilder said his WBC belt is the "crown jewel" of boxing and is the "most famous, most respected" title, but insisted: "We haven't had an undisputed champion in I can't remember how long (Britain's Lennox Lewis was the last in 1999) - and I want to be the first name to bring the belts back together and heavyweight boxing back to its full potential.
"Next year is going to be a great year for me, regardless. Everything is falling in our plan, our time and our planning for what we want to do."
Following his unanimous points victory in Dusseldorf, Germany, Manchester boxer Fury ruled out fighting "fraud" David Haye, who twice pulled out of bouts between the two.
British current WBC International and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, 26, said an all-British fight with Fury would happen "next year or the year after".
Klitschko, 39, said straight after the fight that he would trigger a rematch clause, but could still decide to retire instead.
And when asked about fighting Wilder, Fury responded: "Why do we need to mention Deontay Wilder? Let's laugh at his name, shall we?
"Wladimir Klitschko was the number one in the division. Probably the pound-for-pound king, whatever that means. So why would I be bothered about a novice like Wilder?
"He's a basketball player who took up boxing a couple of years ago. I'm a true natural fighter."

Wilder described Saturday's fight as the most boring in heavyweight history and said he would show Fury "no remorse" if they face each other in the ring.
The 30-year-old, who won bronze as an amateur at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, is undefeated in 35 fights, winning 34 by knock-out - Fury has won all 25 of his fights, 18 by knock-out.
Wilder has a scheduled title defence on 16 January 2016 in New York, with the opponent not yet announced.
"You can't take nothing away from Tyson, a win is a win," said Wilder. "There was a lot of dancing going on, I guess it was a dance competition rather than a fight.
"When somebody tunes in to look at a world title fight that is not what they expect to see, they look to see a fight and somebody get beat up for the title."
Talking about his style, Wilder added: "I'm going to try to disfigure you so bad that your kinfolks won't recognise you at the end of the fight. I don't hate you, but I want to destroy you and your career."
In his first news conference since becoming world heavyweight champion, Fury compared his "masterclass" performance to a "mongoose in a cobra's nest, taking all the eggs home".
He called the Klitschko camp "cheats" - saying he avoided drinking water for fear of sabotage, dismissed questions about being a role model and described the sport's biggest names as "just bare bums in the shower".
His trainer and uncle Peter Fury compared Saturday's stunning victory to Muhammad Ali's 1964 victory over Sonny Liston, saying they were the "brains of Britain" for out-thinking Klitschko. His dad John Fury then demanded journalists give "the eighth wonder of the world" a standing ovation and a bow. | American WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder wants to unify the division by fighting new WBA, IBF & WBO champion Tyson Fury. | 34,969,687 | 988 | 37 | false |
Philip Winter, of Almondsbury Parish Council, is being investigated by UKIP over offensive language about black people in a tweet from an account that includes his political title.
Council chair Phil Hall said: "What he's done is tar the whole community with his own views by using the term councillor."
Mr Winter said his account was hacked and "words in that tweet were altered".
He said he had reported it to Twitter and had closed his account.

Jack Lowe will visit seven stations between Penarth and Aberystwyth, recording images on glass.
Earlier this year he photographed at a further seven stations in Wales.
His photographs are developed in a decommissioned NHS ambulance, which he bought on eBay and transformed into a mobile darkroom.
Mr Lowe, the grandson of Dad's Army actor Arthur Lowe, will visit Penarth on Tuesday, followed by Horton and Port-Eynon, Little and Broad Haven, Fishguard, Cardigan and New Quay, and he will finish his project at Aberystwyth on 24 September.
"From an early age I knew I wanted to either be a photographer or a lifeboat crew member," he said.
"This trip has given me the opportunity to fulfil both my dreams. It's fantastic to see how many people have been so interested and engaged with the project."
He said some of his photographs so far had even left some crew members in tears.

The prime minister also told the BBC some people did not pay tax in Britain "who damn well should".
If the Conservatives fall short of an overall majority at the general election, he will feel he has "not succeeded", he said.
The prime minister said his party "came close" last time.
In an interview with BBC Newsnight presenter Evan Davis, he was asked about the 2010 election, when the Conservatives missed out on a majority and formed a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats.
Mr Cameron said voters had been "very worried" about the state of the economy and some "weren't fully sure we had all the ideas and plans".
He added: "This time, I believe they can put their trust in me".
Asked whether he would see it as a failure if the Conservatives do not get a majority, he said: "We are only 23 seats short and if I fall short of those 23 seats I will feel I have not succeeded in what I want to achieve."
Mr Cameron said he did not "overpromise" in the 2010 manifesto, saying "pledge after pledge has been fulfilled", but acknowledged the Conservatives had not "achieved everything I wanted to".
Neither the Conservatives nor Labour have committed to spending 2% of GDP on defence, while UKIP, which launched its manifesto on Wednesday, says it would meet the Nato target.
Mr Cameron said a "full defence review and spending review" would take place under a Conservative government, adding: "That's the right time to make the final decision."
He said defending the country was "not just about the defence budget" but also about counter terror, intelligence and overseas aid.
In the first of the series of leaders' interviews with Evan Davis, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said he would reject another coalition with the Conservatives if they insist on their proposed £12bn welfare cuts.
The Tories have said details of this will be set out after the election, and Mr Cameron said: "What we're proposing is totally affordable and doable."
Asked about the perception that the Conservatives are the "party of the rich", he added: "This makes me more angry than almost anything else."
He said it "infuriated" him because of the government's record, including taking three million of the lowest paid out of tax.
The PM also said the government had "gone after" businesses who don't pay their fare share of taxes.

England have the youngest squad in the competition with an average age of 26.2. Each player averages 25 caps, the second fewest in Pool A.
"It's hard to make selections when you have an inexperienced team and bringing more inexperience in," said Lancaster.
England face Uruguay at Etihad Stadium on Saturday in their dead-rubber final group game.
Although they beat Fiji in their opening match, defeats by Wales and Australia meant England became the first host nation in history not to progress beyond the group stages.
Lancaster, who has overseen three successive second-place finishes in the Six Nations prior to the World Cup, admitted he was under pressure.
He said: "I understand that, not having nailed a Six Nations or a Grand Slam and certainly not having nailed this World Cup, there is no room for error.
"Obviously that will all be taken into consideration over the next few weeks."
He also stated that there is a "lifespan" to international coaching, explaining that as the players "tend to stay the same" so there is an "inevitability that the coach will have to change".
He added: "Because you only have a few games each year, it takes longer to build.

"That's not me stating a case for me one way or another. I'll wait and see how I feel and how the RFU feel in the next couple of weeks."
Lancaster, who described the head coach's job as "brilliant but tough", said injuries and "discipline issues" also affected England's preparations for the tournament.
Centre Manu Tuilagi was suspended by England for assaulting police officers, while hooker Dylan Hartley was withdrawn from the squad after being banned for headbutting an opponent in a Premiership game for Northampton.
Lancaster also blamed the absence of several players on the tour of New Zealand in 2014, when "half the squad was in the Premiership final".
He added: "Some of our talented players - 18, 19, 20 years old at the time - learning their spurs and still not even in Premiership. It's hard to bring these players in in one go."
Lancaster said England will regret the 28-25 defeat by Wales in their second group game more than Saturday's 33-13 thumping by Australia, which ended their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals.
"Regret goes back to the Wales game," he said. "We didn't lose the game against Wales because of a lack of creativity.
"We lost because we gave away dumb penalties and Dan Biggar kicked them.
"I had one-to-ones with the boys yesterday. They said Australia were one of the best teams we played against in last four years. We were beaten by the best side."
Bath coach Mike Ford, part of the coaching staff when England lost in the 2011 World Cup quarter-finals, said it is "too late" for the Rugby Football Union to carry out a "root and branch" review.
"Everyone knows what has gone on," said Ford, who has been mentioned as a possible successor to Lancaster.
He is unsure if Lancaster wants to remain in charge, telling BBC Sport: "The interview I saw after the game, he was a broken man.

"The criticism and scrutiny you get as an England coach is very intense.
"You've got to want it 100% and love coaching 100% and be hard-skinned. It does certain things to you, and I don't know if he wants it."
Ford, 49, said he would turn down the England head coach's role if it was offered because he wants to "leave a legacy" at Bath.
He said: "I've got the best job in the world. I can't walk away because I've made commitments to players to stay with me for the next four years.
"I've not won anything yet. In four years' time, in 2019, who knows."
The British women's team topped the Olympic qualification classification, while the men's team finished fifth.
Zoe Smith is the leading women's candidate, but Rebakah Tiler could come into contention.
However, Jack Oliver, the previous favourite to take the men's spot, missed the competition through injury.
"Two Olympic qualification spots is a tremendous achievement," said British Weight Lifting performance director Tommy Yule.
The British Championships in June are the final opportunity for athletes to prove their credentials before nominations are made to the British Olympic Associate for Team GB selection.
The 45-year-old was arrested on 22 June on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon at the University of California.
He was held in jail before being released on $160,000 (£102,500) bail.
The district attorney has referred the case to the Los Angeles City attorney's office to decide if Combs will face lesser charges.
"We are thankful that the district attorney rejected felony charges in this matter," said Combs's lawyer, Mark Geragos.
"This case never should have been part of the criminal justice system to begin with."
At the time of the incident, officials did not identify the victim of the alleged assault or say what led to the incident.
However, media reports said Combs was involved in an altercation with the university's football coach at the campus's athletic facility.
Combs claimed he was defending himself and his son, Justin Combs, who is on the college football team and had been working out at the time.
Head football coach Jim Mora called the encounter "an unfortunate incident for all parties involved" following Combs's arrest.
University officials have said little about the confrontation, except that no one was seriously hurt.
A spokesman said the school had no comment on the district attorney's decision.
Justin Combs, 21, has played just a handful of games for the UCLA football team since joining three years ago.
Police say a row broke out at Fermo, a town on Italy's east coast, when racist abuse was hurled at the partner of Emmanuel Chidi Namdi, 36.
The violence escalated when a traffic pole was pulled from the ground. The victim later died in hospital.
A local man described as a well-known "ultra" football fan is being held.
Amedeo Mancini, 35, was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of racially aggravated manslaughter. His lawyer said he "did not mean to kill" and that he had punched the Nigerian in self defence.
Emmanuel Chidi fled Nigeria with his partner Chinyery, 24, after their families came under attack from jihadist group Boko Haram.
Their families were killed in an attack on a Nigerian church in 2015, Italian media reported.
As the couple made their way across the Mediterranean, their baby died.
They finally arrived in Fermo last November and were taken in by a local Christian charity. They had a wedding ceremony in January, conducted by local priest Father Vinicio Albanesi, which was unofficial because they had lost their documents, Rai TV reported.
What happened on Tuesday evening is unclear. However, it is thought that the attacker subjected Chinyery to racist chanting and then grabbed her.
At that point the traffic pole was pulled out of the ground as Emmanuel Chidi and his attacker came to blows. He was taken to hospital in a coma but never recovered.
Local churches which have worked with migrants have recently been targeted by small bombs, according to Father Vinicio Albanesi.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi was among many across Italy who took to social media to express disgust at the killing, using the hashtag Emmanuel.
"The government today is in Fermo with Don Vinicio and the local institutions in memory of Emmanuel. Against hate, racism and violence," he wrote.
Visiting the town, Interior Minister Angelino Alfano told reporters on Thursday that the seed of racism had to be stopped before it could bear fruit. "The heart of Italy isn't represented by those who carried out this murder."
He also announced that Emmanuel Chidi's partner Chinyery had been granted refugee status.

Former care workers Colwyn Baker, 71, David Hennessy, 74, and Nigel Putman, 62, abused youngsters at the now-closed Swaylands School in Penshurst, Kent, between 1963 and 1979.
Baker was sentenced to 20 years in prison for 20 offences.
Hennessy was jailed for 12 years for six offences and Putman sentenced to three years for two offences.
Sentencing the three men at Maidstone Crown Court at the end of a 12-week trial, Judge Philip Statman said: "This is one of the worst possible breaches of trust a court can deal with."
He said to Baker: "You must have thought as you entered your seventh decade you'd got away with it."
Baker, of Craighouse Avenue, Morningside, Edinburgh, had denied 24 indecent assault and three serious sexual assault charges.
Hennessy, of Westfields in Narborough, King's Lynn, Norfolk, had denied 17 indecent assault charges, one of gross indecency with a child and one serious sexual assault.
Putman, 62, of Kings Road, Slough, Berkshire, had denied three indecent assaults.
The three were found not guilty of 15 charges, and the jury was unable to decide on five counts.
One victim said in a statement issued after sentencing: "At the time I didn't realise it was wrong because the abuse was done in a way that made it seem OK.
"I was sent to the school because I needed looking after. I was a little boy and I wasn't looked after. I was made to do things that I shouldn't. This will always affect me."
During the trial, the jury heard that Baker had been convicted in 1994 of four counts of indecent assault on a boy aged under 16 and one count of gross indecency.
It was also disclosed that Hennessy was convicted in December 1993 of four counts of indecent assault on a boy and two sex offences against a pupil.
The judge praised the victims for their "courage, dignity and restraint".
Speaking to the three men he had just jailed, he said: "What those pupils, as they then were, suffered at your hands is seared in their memory banks, in my judgment, for the rest of their lives.
"They remained scarred by what happened to them and it's clear from their victim impact statements of their shame and embarrassment."
Swaylands School, which was run by Barnet council in north London, was a residential facility for boys with emotional and behavioural difficulties.
It was closed at the end of the summer term in 1994, 18 months after the council and Kent Police became aware of allegations of sexual abuse of students at the school by two staff members.
Following the verdicts, the council said it was "truly sorry" that young boys had suffered at the school.

The Information Commissioner's Office said about 370 people a day complain about cold calling, with more than half of those calls now automated.
BBC News found eight of the 20 most prolific calls came from the same company, which is not UK registered.
A spokesman for the ICO said it was illegal to make automated calls to people without their prior consent.
The consumer group Which? has called for new rules to "hold company directors to account" over "unlawful" calls.
Tellows, a web forum for people who find themselves on the receiving end of a nuisance call, has supplied the BBC with data on the numbers most frequently sought by its users.
Cold callers behind 20 telephone numbers resulted in 219,000 searches in a month.
Analysis shows the most common offenders concerned accidents, lifestyle surveys or PPI compensation. Others make calls suggesting people have won £500 in high street vouchers or an Apple iPad. In the run-up to Christmas there was a rise in calls offering oven cleaning services.
Across the UK, a single mobile phone number resulted in 7,624 searches in one day.
Eight of the top 20 numbers for October started with 01895, all with very similar details about the name of the company and the service it was claiming to offer. All but one of the phone numbers is now disconnected, with the latter going only to voicemail.

People described a woman, identifying herself as a "Julie Smith" and calling from "Sigma Advice Company", inquiring about whether the recipient had had a car accident.
Anyone who said yes would be transferred to a male who would ask for more details.
However, "Julie" was not a real person but was actually a "robocaller" programmed to respond to certain phrases. Anyone saying "yes" would be passed to a human.
There is no Sigma Advice Company registered in the UK. No other registered companies with the name Sigma are involved in accident compensation.
A spokeswoman for the Information Commissioner's Office said there was a 26% rise in complaints between October and November due to a "significant" rise in automated calls reports.
It said there were 7,158 reports during the month compared with 4,120 in October. This accounted for 49% of all reports.
The spokesman added: "We are aware of Sigma Advice Company and have received some complaints. It's against the law for businesses to make automated calls to people who haven't given their specific consent to receive them."
Companies found to be making nuisance calls can face fines of up to £500,000.
ActionFraud, the UK's national fraud and cyber crime reporting centre, shuts down 80,000 rogue phone lines a year.
A spokesman said: "It is possible for scammers to spoof a number so they can pretend they are somewhere they are not.
"This can happen if the caller is in this country or overseas."
One firm in Manchester was ordered to pay £80,000 after the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) received more than 1,000 complaints.
Where it becomes difficult is when callers are based overseas, outside the jurisdiction of UK authorities. Although if they are calling on behalf of UK-based organisations, they should still comply with UK law.
Vickie Sheriff, Which? director of campaigns, said: "Unfortunately, today's research confirms what we have known to be true for far too long - millions of people are still being pestered by nuisance calls everyday.
"Which? has long campaigned to tackle nuisance calls and want to see the new rules to hold company directors to account for bombarding consumers with unlawful calls come into force as soon as possible."

The Church says it will bid to open 125 of the 500 new free schools promised by the government by 2020 in a "bold and ambitious vision for education".
A report to Church leaders describes the free schools programme as a "unique opportunity" to enhance its contribution to education.
But the British Humanist Association said the plan was "counterproductive".
The Church of England is already the largest single provider of schools and academies in England, educating about a million pupils in 4,700 schools.
A spokeswoman confirmed that the new schools would be largely secondaries in areas where there is pressure on places.
Ahead of the 2015 election, Prime Minister David Cameron committed his party to creating at least 500 free schools, delivering an extra 270,000 places, if re-elected.
The government maintains that free schools (state-funded, start-up schools, outside local authority control) help improve educational standards.
The plan would give the Church "the opportunity to shape and enhance our provision and to influence the debate about what education is for", the Church's education lead, the Bishop of Ely, the Right Reverend Stephen Conway, told its governing body.
The report, Church of England Vision for Education, says the Church's involvement in education "seeks to promote educational excellence for everyone" and "service the flourishing of a healthy plural society and democracy, together with a healthily plural educational system".
Its vision for education "is hospitable to diversity, respects freedom of religion and belief, and encourages others to contribute from the depths of their own traditions and understandings", says the report.
But British Humanist Association chief executive Andrew Copson described the plans as "entirely out of step with the beliefs of the population and the wishes of the vast majority of parents.
"They severely threaten the rights of children to learn with and from those of other religions and beliefs, to be defined by more than simply the religion or beliefs of their parents and to enjoy a balanced education without fear of discrimination or division.
"Creating more faith schools when the number of people they can appropriately cater for continues to decline is counterintuitive and counterproductive," said Mr Copson.
Both Ms Narcisse's party and that of another presidential candidate, Jovenel Moise, are claiming victory.
But official results are not expected before the end of the week.
Vote counting in elections is often slow but has been further delayed this time due to widespread destruction caused by Hurricane Matthew.
Haiti voted in presidential, parliamentary and local elections on Sunday.
Supporters of Ms Narcisse and her Fanmi Lavalas party threw rocks and set tyres alight in the capital, Port-au-Prince, on Monday and Tuesday.
Election officials called for calm and for people to be patient while the counting continued.
They said more than half of the tally sheets had now reached the capital from outlying areas.
They also warned the public not to believe what they called "pseudo-results".
Twenty-seven candidates ran in the much-delayed presidential election.
It was held more than a year after the previous poll was annulled following allegations of widespread fraud.
Observers said that Sunday's elections went off relatively smoothly.
Supporters of Mr Moise, of the Parti Haitien Tet Kale (Haitian Bald Head Party), even sent out text messages saying that a second round would not be necessary given the size of his lead.
In Haiti, a presidential election goes into a run-off if none of the candidates wins more than 50% of the vote.
Whoever is eventually declared the winner will face the challenge of reconstructing a country that has been ravaged by natural disasters.
The most recent, Hurricane Matthew, destroyed 90% of some of Haiti's southern areas.
The Other Side of the Wind, which began filming 45 years ago and stars cinematic legends John Huston and Peter Bogdanovich, has never been seen.
A goal of $2m (£1.3m) has been set on crowdfunding Indiegogo, to fund the editing, score and post production.
This year the 100th anniversary of Welles' birth is being celebrated.
The movie has been described as "a scathing tale of friendship, betrayal, media and ambition in Hollywood".
Fans have until 14 June to donate, with perks including limited edition film prints and invitations to the movie's world premiere on offer for donations.
"Had crowdfunding been around in the 1970s, I believe Orson would have embraced it as a way of engaging filmgoers directly," said one of the movie's producers, Filip Jan Rymsza.
"Shot over five years in multiple formats, finishing the film is a huge technical undertaking."
Welles' daughter Beatrice has also put her name to the campaign.
"My father struggled his whole life to find funding to finish his pictures, but never as much as he did for this one," she said.
"He would truly be ecstatic to know that it was the people who really cared about his work who, in the end, brought his last dream to fruition."
Yisrael Kristal, who lives in Israel, will celebrate the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony with family and friends in a synagogue in Haifa, his daughter said.
Shulamit Kuperstoch said it would be a "corrective experience".
Mr Kristal was born in Poland in 1903 and survived being in the Auschwitz death camp during World War Two.
He was recognised by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest man in March this year.
Mr Kristal turned 113 on Thursday, according to the Gregorian calendar. He will mark his bar mitzvah in two weeks' time, coinciding with his birthday according to the Hebrew date.
Ms Kuperstoch told the BBC her father would perform the traditional bar mitzvah rituals, including putting on phylacteries (small boxes containing biblical verses worn on the head and arm) and saying blessings over the Torah (Jewish holy book).

"They will bless him and sing with him and dance with him and give out candies," she said.
"We are excited, we're happy, it is a great honour to celebrate his bar mitzvah. He has children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and cousins and everyone is coming."
Mr Kristal should have had his bar mitzvah in 1916, but his mother had died three years earlier and his father had been drafted into the Russian army.
He was cared for by an uncle and after WW1 moved to the Polish city of Lodz to work in the family confectionery business.
After the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany in 1939, Mr Kristal and his family were moved into the Lodz ghetto.
His two children died there and Mr Kristal and his wife Chaja Feige Frucht were sent to Auschwitz in 1944, where his wife was murdered.
Mr Kristal survived and emigrated to Israel in 1950 with his second wife and their son.

Underlying earnings rose 12% to €2.59bn ($3.2bn; £2.1bn) for the nine-month period, with revenues up 4% to €40.5bn. Net income rose 16% to €1.399bn.
But Airbus highlighted a "negative cost and risk evolution" for its delayed A400M transport aircraft.
The programme hit problems in 2010 and received a bailout of €3.5bn.
Built at a cost of €20bn with orders from several European countries, the A400M was a fixed-priced contract that hit production problems and cost-overruns.
Airbus said it would account for any future impact in its full-year results to be published early next year.
The company's finance director did not rule out Airbus taking a one-off accounting charge against future problems.
Harald Wilhelm told journalists: "Given our past history on it (the A400M), the objective remains to avoid any incremental charge, but we are on the way to assessing it. If you ask me whether I can exclude it, I cannot say that this is the case, so it's work in progress."
Outside of the A400M problems, Airbus, whose wing-making operations are in the UK, said that the company's products remained "strong".
The order book was worth €765.4bn as of 30 September, compared with €680.6bn at the end of 2013.
Airbus Group chief executive Tom Enders said: "An improved operational performance drove revenues and profitability higher over the first nine months of 2014."
However, adverse exchange rates had impacted on profits in the last three months.
The incident happened during a candle-lighting ceremony to mark the Jewish festival of Hannukah at Mr Netanyahu's residence.
MP Sharren Haskel and the husband of Tzipi Hotovely, the deputy foreign minister, were not seriously hurt.
Mr Netanyahu's son took the dog in from a rescue home earlier this year.
Prime Minister Netanyahu tweeted a picture of himself with the 10-year-old mixed breed in August.
"If you want a canine, find an adult dog to rescue. You won't regret it," he wrote.
Kaiya has met several high profile visitors including US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Ashok Chavan and 13 others were charged in the scandal over the 31-storey Adarsh Society building in Mumbai.
Mr Chavan said the charges against him were "unfortunate and unexpected".
The housing project was originally for war widows, but flats were sold to politicians and military officers, allegedly at below market prices.
"There is a conspiracy by my rivals to malign me. The Adarsh issue has been blown out of proportion," Mr Chavan said after the charges were filed on Wednesday.
He also said that he was not "associated with allotment of land to the Adarsh society nor did I have anything to do with the list of its members".
Ashok Chavan resigned as chief minister after it emerged that his relatives had flats in the building.
All 14 people have been charged with criminal conspiracy, cheating and corruption.
Originally meant to be a six-storey block in an exclusive part of Mumbai, the building exceeds the maximum height allowed for buildings near the coast.
Municipal authorities disconnected the building's water and electricity supply in 2010 after it was found to have violated environmental laws.
The Adarsh Society case is one of several corruption scandals that have shaken India's government.
Injury and poor form has hampered the 28-year-old, who missed the cut at the Irish Open last week.
After his last Scottish Open appearance, in 2014, he won the Open at Royal Liverpool.
"I'm positive about it," said the Northern Irishman at Dundonald Links. "I'm excited about my game. I feel like I'm doing a lot of good things."
Ranked fourth in the world, McIlroy will partner Henrik Stenson and Rickie Fowler of the United States during rounds one and two in Ayrshire.
"It's just putting it all together, not just for one day but for four days; and not just for four days, to do it week in and week out," he said.
"I've got a busy stretch coming up and I'm excited to play.
"I might be putting a bit too much pressure on myself, but I know that it's coming around. But I'm realistic that I need to see it happen sooner, rather than later.
"I sound a bit like a broken record after a few weeks. But, really, it's not far away."
Dundonald Links is only five miles away from Royal Troon, where Stenson won the Open in stunning fashion last year.
Like McIlroy, the Swede, 41, has had an underwhelming season so far and admits he has struggled with the demands of being the Claret Jug holder.
"It's kind of like before and after having kids," Stenson explained. "When you have kids, your life changes and it's like you can't believe what you did with all the time you had before you had children.
"It's a little bit the same. I don't know what I did with my time before I had the Claret Jug in my possession. And I kind of treat it like my baby as well.
"It's been a busy year, but I don't want to sit here and complain about it. That's certainly not the way we look at it.
"I've been pretty good at saying no, but you've still got to do a lot of things and that impacts your focus on your game to a degree.
"For the year that you are the defending champion, every week you show up at a tournament it's new, it's fresh, they haven't seen you since you won and it's all the pictures and all the autographs and all the interviews.
"In this game, you've got to be in the moment and you've got to be focused and where you're at now and looking forward.
"And you're constantly talking about what happened six months, nine months, 12 months ago, so it's easy to be a little stuck in the past.
"I think it's going to be a bit of turning the page next week when I have to return the Claret Jug on Monday and then we're kind of looking ahead instead of looking back."
Defending champion Alex Noren, of Sweden, is in the company of England's Tyrrell Hatton and Australia's Adam Scott for the first two rounds.
The 24-year-old from Québec was with Czech Republic side HC Dynamo Pardubice before signing for the Giants.
"We're excited to be able to bring in a player of Jerome's quality - he'll add stability to our d-corps," said Steve Thornton, Head of Hockey Operations.
Leduc is available for this weekend's two games against leaders Cardiff, with the Giants three points back.
He was selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the third round, 68th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
Following his draft year, in the 2011/12 season Leduc led the Québec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) in both goals as well as points by a defenceman.
Leduc spent the following four seasons in the AHL with the Rochester Americans, the Buffalo Sabres affiliate, where he posted 19 goals and 38 assists in 228 games played.
The Ottawa Senators traded for Leduc in a seven-player deal in February 2016 and he was directly assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, for the remainder of the season.
Leduc then signed a one-year contract with HC Dynamo Pardubice, posting four goals and five assists in 41 games played, before joining the Giants.
Thornton added: "Unfortunately we received news that Alex Foster will miss a significant number of games following an injury sustained in the game against Fife and we made sure to move quickly to bring in the best possible player available."
The former New England Patriots tight end hanged himself in his Massachusetts prison cell on Wednesday and was pronounced dead later at hospital.
The 27-year-old reportedly marked the gospel passage "John 3:16" in red ink on his forehead.
His death came five days after he was acquitted in a double murder trial.
New England Patriots deny Donald Trump snub
Hernandez had cried in court as that verdict was read, saying he was "very happy", but he was still serving a prison sentence for another murder.
According to local media reports, Hernandez wrote the popular Bible verse on his forehead.
It refers to the phrase: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Corrections department spokesman Christopher Fallon said no suicide note was found during an initial search of Hernandez's cell.
Does the NFL have a crime problem?
Hernandez - who had "God forgives" tattooed on his arm - had not been considered at risk of suicide, Mr Fallon added.
Massachusetts prisons have twice as many inmate suicides as the national average, federal data shows.
The state had an annual suicide rate of 32 per 100,000 prisoners from 2001-14, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Only Rhode Island, Utah and Montana had higher rates.
Jose Baez, Hernandez's attorney, said the state medical examiner's office is "illegally" withholding the football star's brain despite family wishes to donate it to research.
Mr Baez told reporters on Thursday the family wants to donate the brain to Boston University's Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Center, which studies the progressive degenerative disease that is found in people with a history of repetitive brain trauma.
The disease, which can only be diagnosed after death, has been found in the brains of dozens of former American football players.
Mr Baez expressed concern that any delay in releasing the brain to BU would compromise the study of it.
The medical examiner's office did not immediately comment after the news conference.
Hernandez was cleared last week of the murders of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado, who were shot dead outside a Boston nightclub in 2012.
But he was found guilty of illegally possessing a firearm and the judge added five years to his sentence.
Hernandez had been found guilty in April 2015 of the first-degree murder of his friend, another American footballer, the semi-professional Odin Lloyd, in 2013.
Lloyd's body was found with six bullet wounds less than a mile from Hernandez's home.
Within hours of his arrest for the 2013 shooting, the Patriots sacked Hernandez, considered one of the top tight ends playing the game.
Hernandez was given a life sentence without parole.
On the same day of his death, Hernandez's former team was honoured by President Donald Trump at the White House for their Super Bowl victory over Atlanta in February.
The vehicle struck the 4.5m (14ft) high bridge on the Wootton Bassett Road shortly before 08:50 GMT.
The A3102 was closed to traffic while teams of engineers worked to free the vehicle.
British Transport Police said the driver was not hurt in the incident but Wiltshire Police said the road would remain closed for a couple of hours.
As a precautionary measure, Network Rail said trains crossing over the bridge had been limited to 5mph.
But a spokeswoman later said engineers had inspected the bridge and found "no damage" allowing services to return to normal.
United's England contingent Wayne Rooney, Chris Smalling and Marcus Rashford will be on the tour.
However, Mourinho has said the trio will not play against Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai on 22 July and Manchester City in Beijing on 25 July.
And new signing Ibrahimovic, 34, may not be involved at all.
If he does not go to Asia, it is not known precisely when Ibrahimovic will make his first United appearance.
The striker, who arrived at United on a free transfer after his contract with Paris St-Germain expired, last played in Sweden's final match at Euro 2016, a 1-0 defeat by Belgium on 22 June.
When it was confirmed on Monday a United XI would play Salford City at Moor Lane on 26 July, the National League North club's co-owner Gary Neville said on Twitter: "Zlatan first game!!"
United's first team play Galatasaray in Gothenburg in Ibrahimovic's native country on 30 July.
They play Everton in Wayne Rooney's testimonial at Old Trafford on 3 August and Premier League champions Leicester City in the Community Shield on 7 August.

Sevilla, who beat Liverpool in the Europa League final four days earlier, were a man up over Barca for 50 minutes after Javier Mascherano's dismissal.
But they failed to take their chances in Madrid and lost 2-0 in extra time, ending up with nine men themselves.
"If we were fresher, in the final quarter of the pitch we would have been able to win the game," he said.
Ever Banega, who is expected to join Inter Milan, was sent off in injury time for Sevilla as they relinquished their man advantage.
Jordi Alba gave Barca the lead in extra time with his first goal of the season then Sevilla had Daniel Carrico sent off towards the end before Neymar sealed the domestic double for Barcelona.
"In the second half we had two good chances," said Emery, who is a reported target for Everton.
"I don't think we lacked luck, and the team has a lot of ambition. We lacked freshness, which would have allowed us to respond more [after Barcelona scored]."
It was Sevilla's first defeat in a major cup final since 1962, during which time they have won five Uefa Cup/Europa Leagues and two Spanish Cups.
The world's second-largest publicly-listed oil and gas giant said it would invest $100bn (£62.4bn) over the next four years on new projects.
During a strategy briefing, Shell set a target of producing 3.7 million barrels of oil and gas per day for 2014.
This is a 12% rise, and comes amid surging demand from emerging markets.
Chief executive Peter Voser said: "We have made good progress in 2010. Our profitability is improving and we are on track for our growth targets. There is more to come from Shell."
The company has 20 new projects under construction, which will add more than 800,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Final investment decisions on another 10 key projects would be made over the next year or two, Mr Voser said.
The Anglo-Dutch company almost doubled its profits to $18.6bn last year thanks to higher oil prices.
The results contrasted with those of its troubled rival BP, which recorded its first annual loss for nearly two decades due to clean up costs following the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Meanwhile, Mr Voser said Shell's three oil refineries in Japan were not damaged and were still operating following the earthquake.
He said Shell was sending extra supplies of gas to help make up the energy shortfall from damaged nuclear power generation.
Rosie and Ruby Formosa were joined at the abdomen and shared part of their intestine before they had an emergency operation to separate them in 2012.
Their mother, Angela Formosa, said the four-year-olds, from Bexleyheath in south-east London, were "very excited" to be starting school.
"Four years ago it wasn't in my mind that this would ever happen," she said.
"When I was pregnant I didn't think I'd ever see their first day at school so it is really amazing and all thanks to Gosh [Great Ormond Street Hospital] really."
Mrs Formosa said it was "heartbreaking" for her and their father Daniel Formosa when they discovered the girls had the rare medical condition, which occurs in one in every 200,000 live births.
The girls were born at University College Hospital in London by caesarean section in 2012 when Mrs Formosa was 34 weeks pregnant.
Within a couple of hours of being born, they were taken to London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for emergency surgery because of an intestinal blockage.
Mrs Formosa, 35, said it felt like "a million years" ago since she was waiting for the girls to come out of their surgery.
"The time has just flown by, I can't believe how fast it has gone," she said.
"They are very excited [about starting school]; their big sister is in school so they can't wait. They've met their teacher a few times and they love their teacher. They're looking forward to painting, anything messy, they love reading.
"They are very similar, they are very bubbly little girls, they are very headstrong and very determined, which I knew they were from when they were in my belly because of the way they kept growing and surviving."
Professor Paolo De Coppi, consultant paediatric surgeon at Gosh, said: "We're thrilled that Rosie and Ruby are starting school this September.
"It's always a joy to witness patients' progress and to hear that they are reaching new milestones - this makes the job we do all the more rewarding."
The Lib Dem leader told a packed hall of supporters at the start of their party conference in Bournemouth: "This is our moment".
He said Labour had "left the playing field" and it was up to the Lib Dems to fill the gap and take on the Tories.
The party is targeting Labour voters dismayed by Mr Corbyn's leadership.
It plans policy announcements this week to show that Mr Farron is more credible than Labour on the economy.
But Mr Farron has played down suggestions that "moderate" Labour MPs are ready to defect to his party, which is still reeling from losing all but eight of its MPs in May's general election.
The theme of the conference, summed up in a Twitter hashtag, is LibDemFightback.
The party claims it has attracted record numbers of activists to its annual conference, including many of the 20,000 people who have joined since the election.
The Lib Dem leader, who is due to deliver his keynote speech to conference on Wednesday, opened the event with a rallying call to activists, telling them: "I am tired of losing. Let's win again."
He received a standing ovation from activists who had been warmed up by a performance by the London International Gospel Choir.
Mr Farron, who was elected to replace Nick Clegg in July, condemned the "fantasy economics" of by Mr Corbyn and shadow chancellor John McDonnell and accused Labour of "nostalgia" for the student politics of the 1980s.
He said: "If Labour aren't interested in standing up to the Tories and providing a credible opposition, that's their funeral.
"The Liberal Democrats will fill that space. Radical and liberal and responsible too."
The Lib Dem leader warned the audience that we "once again see the prospect of a decade or more of Tory rule, and it fills us with dread".
He added: "When the tectonic plates of politics move, they sometimes move immensely quickly - that is what is happening now.
"These are momentous and historic times, history calls us, we will answer that call.
"Britain needs a party that is progressive, moderate and liberal. We are that party. This is our moment."
Willo Flood opened the scoring for the home side with a 20-yard drive and Cammy Smith looked to have given Ray McKinnon's side control when he scored United's second from the penalty spot.
But Jordan Thompson reduced the deficit seven minutes before the break with a rising shot past Cammy Bell.
And McHattie earned Gary Locke's side a point with a glorious strike.
This was McKinnon's first match against his old club since leaving the Kirkcaldy side in May and his players began the game in whirlwind fashion.
Simon Murray and Flood both came close to an opener before the Rovers defence was breached after 17 minutes.
A free kick into the box was nodded away by Jason Thomson but Flood showed great composure as he guided his shot from 20 yards into the bottom corner.
And five minutes later the home side doubled their advantage and again Flood played a major part.
The midfielder was brought down inside the box and Smith dispatched the spot kick beyond Conor Brennan.
Raith had won their opening three league matches but had barely been in the United half and at this stage they looked down and out of the game.
Darren Jackson, first team coach at United under Jackie McNamara but now at Raith, was sent to the stand by referee Craig Thomson much to his dismay.
But Raith suddenly looked energised and a magnificent volley from Thompson pulled one back just before the break.
The goal gave the Kirkcaldy side new impetus and after a constant spell of pressure in the second half they drew level.
A cross into the box was cleared out as far as McHattie, who thundered a shot beyond Bell.
Both sides had half-chances before the end but the crowd of almost 7,500 were thoroughly entertained by both teams who will fancy their chances of promotion.
Dundee United manager Ray McKinnon: "I would have to say that was two points dropped.
"From 2-0 up, to draw the game is disappointing for us. When you are in that position you should certainly win the game.
"We should have just kept the steam up on them. We didn't and a little bit of slackness crept in and it cost us a goal.
"I thought we were absolutely dominant for 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the second half was pretty disappointing. We should be battling harder than that then another wonder strike grabs them a point."
Raith Rovers manager Gary Locke: "I was disappointed with the first 20 minutes because we looked like a team that didn't believe in ourselves. We gave them too much respect and sat off them.
"We made a tactical change and it got us back into the game. A great strike by Jordan Thompson but for a good hour of the game I thought we were outstanding."

The accusation relates to a report on the channel on alleged passport fraud at the Venezuelan embassy in Iraq.
Venezuela's National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) ordered "the immediate suspension of broadcasts".
Conatel accused the channel of attempting to "undermine the peace and the democratic stability" of Venezuela.
It did not specifically mention the passport story, but government officials had earlier in the day disputed it at a press conference.
The story was the product of a year-long investigation into allegations that Venezuelan passports and visas were being sold to people in Iraq, including some with terrorism links.
The report alleged that Venezuelan Vice-President Tareck El Aissami was directly linked to the granting of 173 passports, including to members of the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is designated a terrorist group by the US and other Western powers.
According to Venezuelan media, Conatel urged publishers and journalists to "provide timely and truthful information to our people, adjusted to the values of Venezuelan society".
Mr El Aissami has this week had sanctions imposed on him by the US for allegedly trafficking drugs. He was described by the US treasury as a drug "kingpin" who worked with traffickers in Mexico and Colombia to ship drugs to America.
He accused the US of "imperialist aggression" in response and President Nicolas Maduro demanded a public apology.
Countries created to suit the imperial designs of London and Paris are being replaced by patches of territory carved out by jihadis, nationalists, rebels and warlords.
The border between Iraq and Syria is under the control of the so-called Islamic State; Syrian Kurds are experiencing the kind of autonomy their counterparts in Iraq have had for years; ethnic, tribal and religious leaders are running territories in Libya and Yemen.
As some of the nation states disintegrate, once powerful capital cities become ever more irrelevant. The rest of the world may have embassies in the Middle East but, increasingly, there are no effective ministries for them to interact with.
The governments in Baghdad, Damascus, Tobruk and Sanaa are now unable to assert their will across large parts of their countries.
"The states that exist in the region do not really have a monopoly on the use of force," LSE Professor Fawaz Gerges told Newshour Extra.
That means that some central governments are now relying on militants and non-state actors to defend them.
Even the most precious Middle Eastern resource of all - oil - is slipping out of government control.
The Iraqi Kurds have been creating a legal infrastructure for oil exports for nearly a decade, while rebel forces in Libya and the Islamic State group have both accrued revenues from the oil industry.
While non-state actors find it difficult to sell crude oil, smuggling refined gasoline products is far easier.
"There is a network which crosses religious and ideological borders where you have people buying and selling petroleum, diesel and gasoline products across the whole region," says oil industry consultant John Hamilton. "And it's very profitable."
There are many explanations for the winds of change sweeping through the Middle East.
Depending on their point of view, analysts cite the failure of Arab nationalism; a lack of democratic development; post-colonialism; Zionism; Western trade protectionism; corruption; low education standards; and the global revival of radical Islamism.
But perhaps the most powerful immediate force ripping Middle Eastern societies apart is sectarianism. Throughout the region Sunni and Shia Muslims are engaged in violent conflict.
The two regional superpowers, Saudi Arabia and Iran, both sponsor proxy forces to fight their battles for them.
In times past the global superpowers were able to keep the Middle Eastern nation states intact, but it's far from clear that either Washington or Moscow now have the power or the will to reunite countries such as Syria, Libya, Yemen and Iraq.
Looking further ahead, the question most Western diplomats are asking is not whether the old order can be rebuilt but whether still-intact countries such as Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain and even Saudi Arabia can hold the line.
Most of the nation states in the Middle East were created in the aftermath of the First World War. The Sykes-Picot agreement and arrangements made by the League of Nations established the borders that exist today.
The biggest change since then came with the creation of Israel in 1948.
Israel's borders remain a matter of impassioned debate. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new Deputy Foreign Minister, Tzipi Hotovely, recently told members of the Israeli diplomatic corps that they should tell the world that the West Bank belongs to the Jews.
Some Palestinians also dream of border change - however it comes.
"They see the chaos in Iraq and Syria and this hideous machine called IS [Islamic State] as potentially the only game-changer that might ultimately call all the borders into question in a way that might eventually benefit the Palestinians," says Professor Rosemary Hollis of City University, London.
"Otherwise they see their future as miserable."
The Middle East is facing years of turmoil. Many in the region are increasingly driven by religion and ideology rather than nationalism.
For them - whether conservative or liberal, religious or secular - the priority is not to change lines on the map but to advance their view of how society should be organised.

Gomez, 37, shot a final round 62 to finish level with the 35-year-old American on 20 under par before both players parred the first play-off hole.
However, a birdie on the second extra hole gave Gomez the title.
"I'm really, really happy. I felt good all week long and was able to put on a great round," the Argentine said.
His other Tour triumph came at the St Jude Classic in Tennessee in June 2015 and his latest victory takes him to 55th in the world rankings.
That keeps him in contention to represent Argentina at the Rio Olympics in August.
"I'm really excited about being able to get in the Olympics," he added. "It depends on how things go with other players, but I feel like I will be almost there."
England's Greg Owen came in tied fifth, five shots behind Gomez and Snedeker.
Even so, there has been particular turbulence in recent days as fears of a "civil war" among its adherents first grew and then subsided, although they have not gone away altogether.
On Sunday, the value of one bitcoin dropped to about $1,863 (£1,430) before bouncing back to $2,402 on Wednesday, according to data from the news site CoinDesk - still some way off a June high of $3,019.
Bitcoin risks becoming a victim of its success.
The popularity of the financial technology has caused transactions to be processed slower, with some users complaining of having to wait three days or more for confirmation of trades when the backlog was at its worst, in May.
Moreover, fees have also risen, hitting a high of $5 per transaction at the start of June.
That makes it too costly to justify its use for some purchases, such as buying a pint of lager in a Bitcoin-accepting pub.
There are ways around the problem, but the cryptocurrency's community has been split over which solution to adopt.
The risk is that Bitcoin could effectively split in two, with one type becoming incompatible with another, ultimately undermining confidence in the project altogether.
The issue is that Bitcoin's underlying technology has an in-built constraint: the ledger of past transactions, known as the blockchain, can have only 1MB of data added to it every 10 minutes.
To understand why, it's helpful to first understand how Bitcoin works.
To authenticate Bitcoin transactions, a procedure called "mining" takes place, which involves volunteers' computers racing to solve difficult mathematical problems.
For each problem solved, one block of bitcoins is processed. As a reward, the successful miners are given newly generated bitcoins.
An updated copy of the blockchain database is then copied to all the computers involved in the validation process, which are referred to as "nodes".
Bitcoin originally did not have the 1MB/10min blockchain limit, but the feature was added to help defend the technology against denial of service (DoS) attacks, which might overwhelm the blockchain by flooding it with tiny transactions.
Mining, by the way, has become a big business in its own right, with some companies investing in huge "farms" of computers dedicated to the activity. Several of the biggest are based in China.
Many of the miners have, in fact, favoured the so-called Bitcoin Unlimited solution.
They said that allowing them to increase the 1MB block size would speed up transactions and reduce transactions fees.
But this could also make mining more expensive, and impractical for small "mom and pop" operations, leaving it under the control of a handful of large corporations.
That is because more processing power would be needed to verify transactions.
Furthermore, additional data bandwidth and storage space would be needed to transmit and store the blockchain, since it would become much bigger.
Critics also say the move would make Bitcoin more vulnerable to hackers.
Moreover, some people are concerned that giving the miners power to vary the block size might undermine the principle of Bitcoin being decentralised, with no equivalent to a central bank running the show.
Some software developers have favoured reorganising the format of Bitcoin transactions to make the blockchain more efficient.
Specifically, they propose relocating " transaction signatures" - which unlock bitcoins so they can be spent - from within the blockchain to a separate file transmitted alongside it.
Doing so should make it possible to process transactions at double the current rate.
And as an added benefit, "node" computers could save on storage space by opting not to keep records of the oldest signatures.
This scheme is known as Segregated Witness, or Segwit.
However, critics say it would deliver only a temporary respite while adding an extra level of complexity.
It appears so.
A middle-ground solution - called Segwit2x - aims to start sending signature data separately from the blockchain later this week and then to double the block size limit to 2MB in three months' time.
An initiative called Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 91 (BIP 91) states that if 80% of the mining effort adopts the new blockchain software involved and uses it consistently between 21 July and 31 July, then the wider community should accept this as the solution.
The good news for those who like the idea is that close to 90% of miners appear to back the effort, according to Coin Dance, a Bitcoin-related statistics site.
Other plans exist to try again after August if the target is missed.
But a risk remains that if use of Segwit2x software never reaches the required threshold or that hardcore opponents refuse to buckle, then it could result in two different versions of the blockchain, and in effect two types of Bitcoin.
Such as schism could help rival cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, prosper and ultimately doom Bitcoin altogether.
One expert, however, said he believed that was an unlikely outcome.
"The vast majority of people in the Bitcoin community are opposed to splitting Bitcoin into two competing cryptocurrencies," said Dr Garrick Hileman, research fellow at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance.

The 24-year-old Orica rider attacked with 15 kilometres left of the mountainous 163.5km stage from Domdidier to Leysin, and rode clear alongside BMC's Richie Porte.
The victory leaves Yates 19 seconds clear of Australian Porte overall.
Team Sky's Chris Froome is 75 seconds down on compatriot Yates in 33rd place.
Yates said: "On the final climb I knew Richie was coming across, so I didn't want to keep pushing as I knew that when he caught me I would be empty, so I took a bit easy and waited for him to get to me.
"I managed to get him in front into the final kilometre and I think that really saved me as the wind was quite strong in the finish. I am just really happy that I was able to come around him and take the victory."
The six-day, five-stage race - an early indicator of form before the Tour de France in July - ends with the 17.9km individual time trial in Lausanne on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Italian rider Gianni Moscon is facing disciplinary action from Team Sky after it emerged he used racially abusive language towards FDJ's Kevin Reza at the end of Friday's stage three.
Team Sky chose not to withdraw Moscon from the race following discussions with FDJ. Moscon has apologised to Frenchman Reza and his team-mates but the British team will consider what action to take after establishing all of the facts of the incident.

Bale made his return for club side Real Madrid in their 2-0 win over Espanyol as a 71st minute substitute and scored within 12 minutes of his return.
The 27-year old has been out since suffering the injury on 22 November.
"He's now confident he'll be in the team and ready to fight for his place," Roberts told BBC Radio Cymru.
Roberts and Wales manager Chris Coleman travelled to Madrid this week to meet with Bale and watch him train and were impressed with what they saw.
"He's coming along very well, he's in a good place both physically and mentally," Roberts said.
"He's been working extremely hard. He was in a good mood, we watched him train and he looked very good physically and fresh of course.
"We're expecting him to carefully build up his minutes under the manager [Zinedine Zidane] and Gareth will be ready to join up with us next month."
Initial assessments on Bale's injury indicated that Madrid's record signing would possibly struggle to be fit for the vital World Cup qualifier in Dublin.
His recovery time has been roughly six weeks quicker than initial estimates and Roberts puts it down to hard work.
"Nature might play a part [in Bale's ability to quickly recover from injuries] but I prefer to believe in the hard work he gets through," he explained.
"We see Gareth when scores goals for Wales and Real Madrid and amazing things on the field but what most people do not see is the hard work he puts in behind closed doors, in private, that gives him a base so he can make the most of the special talent he has.
"One of the main reasons for that is because he's well-disciplined he's happy to sacrifice some things in life to make sure he makes most of his talent.
"He does not go out, he does not drink alcohol, he's incredibly professional and he's been working for weeks on end - getting into the club for 9am every morning and does not leave until 8pm at night.
"His days have been longer whilst he has been injured than when he was fit and playing. The hard work which he's put in for weeks now and it's understandable how he's more than ready to get back into the team."
Roberts does not expect any setbacks for the talisman who helped Wales to the semi finals of Euro 2016, but admits that will always be a concern.
"A member of the club's medical staff also works with us [Wales], talking to him they've been careful and done what is right for Gareth and what is right for the long-term so in theory there will be no setbacks," he said.
"We're crossing our fingers that there will not be any set-backs. We see with players coming back from injuries we've seen it with Manchester City's star Vincent Kompany this season.
"There is nothing sadder for me than to see a player who is coming back from injury and gets injured straight away afterwards. It's mentally difficult for players to take.
"We're crossing our fingers that Gareth Bale can carry on so he can get to enjoying his football again".

The Commons Work and Pensions Committee said details sent out about when people will get state pensions and how much they are worth were "inadequate" and "confusing".
It warns this particularly applies to women, whose pension age is changing.
The DWP said it was working hard to help people understand the issues.
The state pension age will reach 66 by October 2020, with women's pension age being raised to match that of men's.
Previously, women's state pension age was 60, with men's set later at 65.
The Work and Pensions Select Committee has prepared an interim report on the New State Pension (NSP), which replaces the basic and additional state pensions from April.
MPs said they had done this because the situation was too urgent to wait for the full inquiry to be completed.
The report said there were "widespread concerns" that women had been unaware of increases in their state pension age dating back to 1995.
One woman told the MPs she had been sent a letter by the Pension Service in 2005 that did not mention her retirement age.
In 2012, two years before her 60th birthday, which she thought was her pension age, she received another letter saying she was not entitled to draw that until she turned 66.
The report said: "At a crucial time of reform to the state pension and the state pension age, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) statements are insufficiently clear.
"This lack of clarity increases the chances that people misunderstand the value of their state pension or the age from which they will receive it. In turn, this increases the chances that they will not best plan for retirement."
The committee said statements should be fitted on to a single page, with key messages highlighted in boxes for greater ease of understanding.
They should list the current value of the state pension built up alongside the age at which people will be eligible to receive the income, and how they can build up retirement funds.
The committee's chairman, Frank Field, said: "Successive governments have bungled the fundamental duty to tell women of these major changes to when they can expect their state pension.
"Retirement expectations have been smashed as some women have only been told a couple of years before the date they expected to retire that no such retirement pension is now available."
A DWP spokesman said: "We are committed to ensuring that the public understands the positive changes being made to the state pension. We've already done a huge amount - including TV, radio and print advertising - and this activity will continue over the coming months and years."
They added that the DWP was working closely with the select committee on its current inquiry.

Aberdeen North MP Frank Doran said the remark, made in a Commons debate, was "an error of judgement".
But Education Secretary Nicky Morgan - who is also the women's and equalities minister - said his comments were "outrageous and deeply offensive".
UKIP leader Nigel Farage tweeted: "Just imagine for a split second how the media would react if I said this."
During a Commons debate on fisheries, Mr Doran said he could not remember if there had ever been a female fisheries minister.
Sheryll Murray, the Conservative MP for South East Cornwall - whose husband was killed in a fishing accident in 2011 - intervened to say there had not "but we have had former female secretaries of state".
Mr Doran acknowledged she was right, but said there was "no dedicated fisheries minister".
To audible gasps, he added: "I'm not sure it is a job for a woman, although the honourable lady might reach that."
Hearing the reaction around the chamber, Mr Doran added: "That was not a sexist remark. I know the fishing industry very well."
But several hours after the exchange, Mr Doran - who was a lawyer before entering Parliament - apologised. "It was an error of judgement which does not represent my view or the Labour Party's" he said.
Mrs Murray's fisherman husband was killed when his clothes became caught in a netting winch on his boat.
Ms Morgan said Mr Doran's comments "seriously undermine our work to raise aspiration among young women and girls".
She added: "He should apologise immediately. Labour are very good at throwing stones but they are too quick to ignore blatant sexism within their own ranks - Ed Miliband and Harriet Harman cannot ignore this."
Mr Farage said Mr Doran, who is stepping down at May's election, had been given "an easy ride".
West Yorkshire Trading Standards (WYTSS) said it found more than 400 items past their use-by date at the Real Junk Food Project's (RJFP) warehouse in Pudsey, Leeds.
Project founder Adam Smith said it had made "food unfit for human consumption available to the general public" since 2013 without complaint.
WYTSS said it was unable to comment.
More stories from across Yorkshire
The letter states 444 items, which were a cumulative total of 6,345 days past the use-by dates, were discovered at the charity's premises on the Grangefield Industrial Estate.
It said Mr Smith was invited to attend a "formal recorded interview under caution" to discuss offences which may have been committed under the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013.
Mr Smith said: "[The letter] was claiming that we were making food unfit for human consumption available to the general public, which is true, because that's what we've done since day one when we opened three-and-a-half years ago.
"We've got 127 cafes in seven countries across the world. We've fed over one million people worldwide with food that's expired and still to this day no-one has ever been sick. So we can prove that we can make this food safe for human consumption.
"I'm quite positive about it. Just because it's the law doesn't make it right. We can prove that the food is safe for human consumption.
"We're not going to stop serving food to people that's expired because it will then go to waste and that's the reason that we're here."
He said he hoped the meeting would help create a debate around the legislation
David Strover, from WYTSS said: "I am sure you will appreciate that WYTSS is unable to comment on the detail of an ongoing investigation except to say that the Proprietor of RJFP will be able to put forward information as part of that investigation process.
"That will help inform the decision on what, if any, action will be taken."
Mark Jones, solicitor and retail specialist, said the charity may find it difficult to contest any case brought against it.
He said: "If you pass a use-by date, the starting point is that the food is unsafe and the law expressly says that. If they have been using food which is past its 'use-by' date RJFP will struggle to find a defence.
"The law is European law implemented by domestic legislation and is not something that can be sidestepped.
"If RJFP have been selling food past its use-by date unlawfully, the extent to which they have actively engaged in this practice will determine the outcome of any prosecution; that could be a fine if it's significant or even a prison sentence.
"One thing that is likely to influence trading standards is the nature of the business. This is not a situation where you have an individual seeking to make vast commercial profit by selling out-of-date food, it's a charitable organisation seeking to reduce food waste which it seems may have fallen foul of technical food regulations."
The machine, at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, is one of only two purpose-built neonatal MRI scanners in the world.
At present, ultrasound is normally used to scan the brains of newborns.
Prof Paul Griffiths, of the University of Sheffield, said MRI was better at showing the structures of the brain and abnormalities more clearly.
So far about 40 babies have been imaged in the MRI scanner, which was built by GE Healthcare with funding by the Wellcome Trust.
One of them, Alice-Rose, was born at 24 weeks and had two bleeds in the brain.
Her parents, Shaun and Rachael Westbrook, said the MRI scan was very helpful.
Shaun told me: "It's a much crisper image and a lot easier to understand than the ultrasound."
Rachael added: "It's been a rollercoaster since Alice-Rose was born on 6 November: not everything was fully formed, and she still weighs only 2lb 13oz (1.28kg).
"The MRI was reassuring as it meant you got a better look at her brain."
Ultrasound of the brain is possible in newborn babies only because the bones in their skull are not yet fused.
The sound waves can travel through the two fontanelles - the soft spots between the bones.
Prof Griffiths said: "Ultrasound is cheap, portable and convenient, but the position of the fontanelles means there are some parts of the brain which cannot be viewed.
"MRI is able to show all of the brain and the surrounding anatomy, making the images easier to explain to parents.
"From a diagnostic point, the big advantage is that MRI is able to show a wider range of brain abnormalities, in particular those which result from a lack of oxygen or blood supply."
MRI scans are rarely performed on severely premature babies because the risks involved in transferring and handling a sick infant can outweigh the benefits.
Prof Griffiths said: "MRI machines are huge, heavy objects which are sited in the basement or ground floor of hospitals, whereas maternity units are usually higher up, or in a completely different building, so it can mean a complicated journey to get a baby to and from the scanner."
Evelina Children's Hospital in London has a full-size MRI scanner within the neonatal intensive care unit.
The compact baby MRI machine at the Royal Hallamshire is not much bigger than a washing machine and just metres away from the neonatal intensive care unit, meaning that specialist staff are on hand in case of problems.
The concept for a dedicated neonatal scanner was originally developed more than a decade ago by Prof Griffiths and Prof Martin Paley, of the University of Sheffield.
Two prototype 3 Tesla neonatal MRIs were eventually built - the other is in Boston Children's Hospital in Massachusetts - although it is no longer in use.
Neither machine has regulatory approval for clinical use, and both remain purely for research.
Prof Griffiths said the next step would be to do a trial in premature babies to show definitively that MRI produces a better diagnosis and whether it altered the clinical management of children.
It is not known how much a neonatal MRI machine would cost, should the system eventually get commercialised, but full-size scanners are typically priced at several hundred thousand pounds.
Cincinnati Children's Hospital has a 1.5 Tesla neonatal MRI scanner that was adapted from adult orthopaedic use.
It would "immediately investigate this case" along with US experts.
Saudi Arabia earlier denied allegations from the rebel Houthi-run government that the coalition was responsible.
The attack targeted the funeral of the father of Houthi-appointed Interior Minister Galal al-Rawishan.
The Saudi-led coalition said in a statement: "The coalition will immediately investigate this case along with the Joint Incidents Assessment Team in Yemen and experts from the United States who participated in previous investigations."
It referred to "reports about the regrettable and painful bombing" in Sanaa, before adding: "The coalition confirms that its troops have clear instructions not to target populated areas and to avoid civilians."
The US said it had launched an "immediate review" of its already-reduced support for the coalition.
White House National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said US co-operation with Saudi Arabia was "not a blank cheque".
He said that while the US was focused on achieving an end to the conflict in Yemen, Washington was "prepared to adjust our support so as to better align with US principles, values and interests".
Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam said the attack was an act of "genocide".
UN humanitarian co-ordinator for Yemen, Jamie McGoldrick, condemned Saturday's strikes on the funeral gathering as a "horrific attack".
He said that aid workers who arrived at the scene had been "shocked and outraged".
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it had prepared 300 body bags.
The ICRC's Rima Kamal told the BBC "several air strikes" had hit the venue attended by hundreds of civilians and damage to the buildings was extensive.
The Saudi-led coalition is backing the internationally-recognised government of Yemen.

Forte struck in the last minute when captain Michael O'Connor picked out Haydn Hollis whose shot was saved by Glenn Morris.
But Forte was on hand to slam in the rebound to send Meadow Lane into meltdown, with Nolan's side having looked odds-on to secure a point.
They had originally taken the lead when Thierry Audel forced the ball over the line when Rob Milsom's corner had caused pandemonium inside the box.
It was no more than Notts deserved after creating numerous chances, with Forte spurning two in the first half.
But Crawley hit back in the final 10 minutes when James Collins had space outside the box and cannoned in a terrific effort off the underside of the crossbar from 25 yards.
That had seemingly curtailed the Magpies' hopes of victory until Forte struck, which left boss Nolan punching the air at the final whistle.

It joins several other local papers as well as a host of national broadsheets on the list of 2015 award winners.
The 2015 Pulitzer Prizes, US journalism's top awards, were announced at Columbia University.
The prizes also recognise achievement in drama, music and fiction, as well as non-fiction books.
Among the winners is The Post and Courier of Charleston, South Carolina, which won the Pulitzer Prize for public service for an examination of the deadly toll of domestic abuse.
The Seattle Times newsroom reportedly erupted in celebration when staff got word that the paper had won an award for its coverage of a deadly mudslide.
The New York Times won the international reporting award for what the judges described as courageous work on the front-line, in telling vivid human stories about Ebola.
The feature photography prize went to a New York Times freelancer, Daniel Berehulak, for his powerful images of those affected by the outbreak in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Bloomberg News, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post also took home awards.
The awards also highlighted literary, drama and music achievement.
Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See, a novel set in World War II that has been one of the top-selling literary works of the past year, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
Judges awarded Stephen Adly Guirgis's Between Riverside and Crazy the prize for drama. They praised the playwright for his use of "dark comedy to confront questions of life and death".
The play tells the story of a former police officer who shelters orphans at his New York property.
The play, by Robert Schenkkan, chronicles the first year of Johnson's presidency following the assassination of John F Kennedy in 1963.
Three-time Emmy winner Cranston said he "wanted to wait for something that had meaning, that really had resonance".
The play opens at the Neil Simon Theatre on 6 March.
"There are two things you want in an actor playing LBJ. You want someone who is so charismatic and so charming, and you want somebody who is absolutely terrifying. And in Bryan Cranston we have both," Schenkkan said.
"The role is the size of Lear," added Schenkkan, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for The Kentucky Cycle. "He is on stage virtually the entire time."
'Ruthlessness'
All the Way premiered at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in 2012 - with Cranston stepping into the lead role for the first time last September at the American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The actor played to packed houses and earned solid reviews during a sell-out run.
"Mr Cranston's Johnson glitters with an almost salacious ruthlessness when he senses a chance to do a little arm-twisting to lock down another vote for a bill he wants passed," wrote Christopher Isherwood in the New York Times last year.
The play focuses on two parallel storylines: Johnson's battle to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and his campaign for re-election.
"I want to be all of him, his highs, his lows, his good, his bad, and to present it honestly," said Cranston, speaking in an interview about the presidential role.
Cranston heads an ensemble cast of 20 actors who take on multiple roles in the play, which is directed by Bill Rauch.
Earlier this week, the 57-year-old star won a Screen Actors Guild award for his portrayal of Walter White, the chemistry teacher-turned-drug lord, in the final series of Breaking Bad.
The Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA), set up along the lines of the BBC, operates public radio and TV services and is funded mainly by licence fees on TV sets.
In March 2014, the government announced that the IBA would be shut down and replaced with a new structure for public broadcasting within a year. The broadcast license fee will also be eliminated. Critics warn that the changes will give the government too much control over public broadcasting.
Channel 2 and Israel 10 are the main commercial TV networks. Most Israeli households subscribe to cable or satellite packages. HOT cable and YES satellite TV are the main multichannel providers.
Commercial radio arrived in 1995, but faces competition from unlicensed radio stations, some of which carry ultra-Orthodox programming.
Israel has 13 daily newspapers and at least 90 weeklies. All titles are privately-owned.
Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (2012) says media freedom is "unequalled in the region". But it adds that this is tempered by "military censorship" and "numerous abuses" by the army against media workers in the Palestinian Territories.
Israel has a large IT industry and one of the world's most technologically-literate populations. Around 5.5 million people had internet access by 2013 (InternetWorldStats).
The 31-year-old, who was the Cards' captain, made 276 appearances and scored three times for the Surrey club after joining them in 2009.
Wood manager Luke Garrard told the club website: "Mark is a natural born leader.
"He's a quality signing, he is versatile and he will give us real know-how in the middle of the park."

The hyper-fast mobile internet service could theoretically download a Blu-ray film in 44 seconds.
But analysts are sceptical that such a feat could currently be replicated within a live, real-world network.
Elisa said it used technology provided by Chinese telecoms giant Huawei to deliver a mobile network speed that edged close to the 2Gbps threshold.
By comparison, its fastest commercial network speed is 300Mbps - less than a sixth as fast.
The corporation's chief executive, Veli-Matti Mattila, said: "We know there hasn't been a speed this high announced by any other network."
In February however, one university research team - not affiliated with a network provider - managed to achieve a 5G mobile speed of 1 terabit per second (Tbps), which is more than fifty times faster than Elisa's 4G speed.
In terms of commercial applications, Mr Mattila told the BBC that Elisa is planning to roll out a premium 1Gbps network in Finland within the next "two to three years".
Mobile virtual reality and augmented reality, as well as "high quality 4K video and beyond", are cited by Mr Mattila as applications likely to benefit most from hyper-fast network speeds.
But two analysts are sceptical about the real-world relevance of the speed record.
"Deploying a network that can support 1.9Gbps doesn't mean customers will get 1.9Gbps mobile broadband," said Nick Wood, assistant editor at Total Telecom.
He told the BBC: "This is because that network capacity has to be shared among customers. In reality, customers are likely to experience a modest improvement in overall speed and reliability, which is great, but doesn't make for exciting headlines the same way that 1.9 Gbps does."
Ernest Doku, a telecoms expert at uSwitch, pointed out that only 5Mb per second (Mbps) is required for streaming HD content on Netflix, and Elisa's top speed "is 400 times faster than that".
"It'll be a long time until our infrastructure here in the UK offers anything close," he added.
"This isn't a stepping stone to 5G as much as it's proof that 4G is yet to achieve its full potential here in the UK," he said.
Mr Mattila added that Elisa's new record shows that 4G networks can still "evolve" and deliver greater download speeds for mobile customers.
"5G technology is in the early stages, and soon we will see that tech piloted. But with 4G working at faster and faster speeds, it means we don't need 5G coverage just yet," he said.
"I expect we will pilot 5G within the next year, but I don't expect the 5G deployment in the mass market until after 2020."
Det Con Nighat Hubbard alleges male colleagues made discriminatory comments to her and other female officers when she worked at the force.
She also claims she was held back while white colleagues were allowed to work on more complex investigations, the Sunday Times reports.
The Met said it was aware legal action had been brought.
The claims date between 2013 and 2014.
In a statement, the force said: "We are aware of an employment tribunal claim brought by Det Con Nighat Hubbard against the Metropolitan Police Service alleging race and sex discrimination.
"We are unable to discuss further while proceedings are ongoing."
In 2014 she was awarded an MBE for her charity work, reportedly making her the first Muslim policewoman to be honoured by the Queen.
Captain Sam Warburton and fellow Wales forward Alun Wyn Jones have been sidelined by injuries.
"You've really got to be playing your best rugby on these tours because in a blink of an eye the Test series is there," he said.
"The rugby's going to be physical enough in New Zealand.
The Lions start their 10-match tour on Saturday, 3 June.
"You've definitely got to start getting used to the bumps again and making sure that your injuries are fine and that you hit the floor running on the Lions tour," Williams added.
"You haven't got time to play a game and see how it feels and wait for the next game."
Cardiff Blues flanker Warburton sustained a knee injury in April, ruling him out for six weeks, while Ospreys lock Jones has been out for six weeks after injuring his shoulder playing for Wales in their 20-18 Six Nations defeat by France in Paris in March.
Jones, 31, could be set to return from injury for Ospreys' crucial Pro12 game against regional rivals Scarlets on Saturday.
Warburton could play for Cardiff Blues before the end of the season, the region's head coach Danny Wilson said.
Lions head coach Warren Gatland said Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray was also progressing in his recovery from a shoulder injury.
The Lions play the first of their tour matches against a Provincial Union XV in Whangarei.
Williams, who toured with the Lions on three occasions, dismissed former New Zealand number eight Zinzan Brooke's criticism of Taulupe Faletau as mind games.
Brooke had said Wales and Bath number eight Faletau lacked the "mongrel edge" to flourish on the summer's Lions tour.
"I suppose you're only going to start talking about or criticising players you worry could do the business against your team," Williams said.
"He's a world-class player and Zinzan Brooke knows that.
"Taulupe's a little bit different from your usual back-rower, he's got great feet, and his ball awareness as a player...he's superb and that's why he's on this tour.
"I know Taulupe very well, and I don't think he'd even watch or listen to anything that's being said out there."
Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said President Vladimir Putin had ordered the extension to 16:00 (13:00 GMT).
UN humanitarian chief Jan Egeland said he hoped hundreds of sick and wounded could be evacuated by the deadline.
But rebels have rejected the truce, with reports of continued clashes and few residents heeding calls to leave.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said militants were "preventing the evacuation of the population", as he discussed the crisis by phone with US Secretary of State John Kerry.
In a separate development on Thursday, Belgium demanded that Russia formally withdraw claims that two Belgian fighter jets had killed six civilians in air strikes on a Kurdish village in northern Syria on Tuesday.
On Wednesday Belgium summoned the Russian ambassador in Brussels to dismiss the accusations as "totally groundless".
Russia's military insisted that its radar backed the claim.
Russian and Syrian government forces suspended their air strikes on Tuesday to pave the way for the truce, which is aimed at opening up eight exit corridors from the east of the city to allow residents to leave the besieged area.
Rebel fighters have been given a chance to leave via two corridors, provided they leave behind their weapons.
But soon after the truce took effect at 05:00 GMT on Thursday, some of the corridors reportedly came under fire, with opposition and government forces blaming each other.
Mr Egeland, who heads the UN humanitarian taskforce for Syria, said he hoped the first of "several hundred" people most in need of medical help could be brought out on Friday with the help of the World Health Organization and the Red Cross.
"We believe we now have all of the green lights that we need both from the Russians and the government and from the armed opposition groups," he said.
But the truce was reported to have had little impact on the ground. Ammar Jaber, a correspondent for Orient News, a Dubai-based pro-opposition TV channel, said he had seen just a few civilians leaving at two of the crossings intended for evacuation.
Mr Jaber said Syrian government forces were targeting the corridors with sniper and rocket fire.
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.
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 despite Russia's pledge of a truce.
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.
Meg Hillier says just eight out of 151 local councils know where all their care leavers are living, despite a duty to stay in touch with them.
Two-thirds of care leavers' services have been rated inadequate or requiring improvement by Ofsted, she adds.
Town hall bosses say the care system is becoming an increasing challenge.
The Local Government Association says this is due to the growing number of youngsters entering the care system and increasingly stretched budgets.
The National Audit Office report: Care Leavers' Transition to Adulthood, scrutinised by the committee, says the number of young people leaving care has grown significantly, almost doubling from 6,900 in 2003-04 to 10,310 a decade later.
The report says young people in care have often had difficult lives but have to start living independently much earlier than their peers.
Some 62% of children in care are there because of abuse or neglect, which can have a lasting impact on their mental and emotional health.
The report says the government aims to ensure that care leavers receive the same level of care and support as a child does from a reasonable parent.
This would include help in finding a job or setting up home, and general support for them to move successfully into adulthood.
But high staff turnover and heavy workloads mean sometimes care leavers are not getting the support to which they are entitled, it says
Mrs Hillier said: "It seems local authorities are turning their back on young people leaving their care, when two-thirds of local authority services for care leavers have been rated 'inadequate' or 'requiring improvement' since November 2013.
"Care leavers are in dire need of effective care and support, but this report finds care leavers who are not involved in their care-leaving plans and who do not know what support they are entitled to."
The report also finds local authorities have no information on 17% of their 19- to 21-year-old care leavers, even though they are often vulnerable.
Care leavers often face difficulties in accessing their own health records, identification documents and personal history, it adds.
It also highlights that there are no official statistics on some aspects of care leavers' lives, such as whether they have timely access to health services and whether they feel they left care at the right time.
And it does not collect data on where care leavers work or study, or where they live and whether it is suitable, after the age of 21.
Amyas Morse, head of the NAO, said: "The government has made a commitment to improve the support for these young people, but the outcomes for many have been deteriorating over the last seven years."
An LGA spokesman said: "Councils do what they can to support all care leavers.
"We desperately need to see the whole system properly funded and joined-up to ensure children and young people receive the support when they need it.
"It is vitally important that government departments work better together to continue the work to tackle our ineffective and fragmented mental health system."
A DfE official said it was committed to improving the lives of care leavers and helping them make a successful transition to adulthood.
"That's why we have introduced a comprehensive series of reforms to achieve this - including changing the law so young people can live with their foster family after they turn 18 and giving every care leaver a personal adviser.
"We are also investing over £100m through the Innovation Programme to support vulnerable children, and funding programmes to get more care leavers into apprenticeships."
Javed Khan, chief executive of Barnardo's which wants support for care leavers extended until age 25, said: "It is disappointing that the system put in place to support care leavers continues to have such poor outcomes for young people."
The crash happened on the eastbound carriageway near Micheldever, just after 07:30 BST.
A woman who was a passenger in the car was taken to hospital - her injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Highways England, which has replaced the Highways Agency, said the road reopened at about noon.
The road was closed eastbound from the A34 at Bullington and the M3 at North Waltham. Traffic was being diverted via the A34 towards Winchester.
Motorists were being advised to plan for longer journey times and find alternative routes.
The A303 was picked out by traffic information company Trafficmaster as one of the likely top five busiest roads over the Easter holiday period.
The UK's Advertising Standards Authority said it was considering the step to ensure people "aren't misled by pricing claims".
It follows a study that indicated most users could not correctly calculate bills based on the information given in a selection of broadband ads.
The ASA said it would make a final decision before June.
A lobby group representing the broadband industry has suggested more research is needed before any changes are imposed.
But one of the internet service providers has already said it supports reform.
"It's obvious that a single headline price is much clearer and better for customers, and we're actually already doing it on a pilot project up in York," said a spokesman for TalkTalk.
"But until the whole market moves to single prices, any company that advertises its products like this will struggle to compete with what look like better deals from other providers."
The announcement comes a month after the charity Citizens Advice called on the ASA to review its code of practice because it said consumers were being misled by attractive-sounding broadband offers.
The ASA has suggested it will call on ISPs to follow three new guidelines:
"Advertising works better when it's trusted," said the ASA's chief executive Guy Parker.
"We'll now be moving quickly, working alongside broadband providers, to clarify the presentation of price information."
The move follows a study carried out on behalf of both the ASA and the communications regulator Ofcom in June.
It involved 300 home broadband "decision makers" being shown adverts that had been made for TV, newspapers, websites and outside billboards.
The research firm Futuresight then quizzed them about their recall of the details.
Its findings suggest:
"Many people are confused by complicated adverts and offers, so we welcome the ASA's plans to simplify broadband advertising," said Ofcom's chief executive Sharon White.
However, the Internet Services Providers' Association has raised concerns.
"[We] believe that more detailed research is needed to corroborate the survey findings," said Nicholas Lansman, the industry group's secretary general.
"Beyond adverts, ISPs provide clear information if consumers engage more closely with them, for example by going to their website, visiting a shop, working with comparison and consumer websites or by calling the providers.
"This has not been reflected in the survey, which is based on a small sample size with some of the reviewed adverts only being shown to eight participants."
Dermot Weld's three-year-old, who overcame a late injury scare, was a 13-2 shot for the world's most famous flat race and was ridden by Pat Smullen.
The son of 2009 Derby winner Sea The Stars hit the front with more than a furlong to run, with US Army Ranger and Idaho pushing hard.
But Harzand beat the favourite by a length and a half with Idaho in third.
"I spotted the white face of US Army Ranger, but this horse responded to me," Smullen, 39, said.
Harzand, winner of the Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown in April, had been a doubtful runner on Saturday morning after spreading a plate - when the horseshoe becomes detached from the hoof.
"The trouble we had with him this morning, I didn't know if he would get here, but it's a great team effort. I'm delighted for them." Smullen added.
Winning owner-breeder Aga Khan, had previously tasted Derby glory with horses including the legendary Shergar and most recently Sinndar in 2000.
It was also a first derby triumph for two-time Melbourne Cup winning trainer Weld.
"I won my first Classic here with Blue Wind many moons ago, when I probably didn't have horses like this to win this great race," Weld said.
"It's wonderful to do it. We had a huge worry this morning as he spread a plate travelling over and he was a very doubtful runner right up to about an hour ago.
"But with the tremendous help of all my colleagues and my team, we made it."
Cornelius Lysaght, BBC Sports racing correspondent
"Tremendous stuff from Harzand as he swept aside concerns following a late foot scare and dug deep to see off the fast-finishing favourite, so recording a fifth Derby success in the Aga Khan silks, once ubiquitous in Britain but rarely seen these days.
"The owner prefers to concentrate on racing in France and Ireland where Dermot Weld has his base a stone's throw from the Curragh training grounds.
"From there, he's planned major-race raids around the world, and though there's no indication the 68-year-old's anywhere near slowing down, Pat Smullen expressed the view it would be 'a travesty' if he had retired without an Epsom Derby win."

Retired teacher Roger Whitworth compiled a huge dossier of pictures of the Worcester City Ancient Arms and the Worcester City Modern Arms.
The heraldic emblems can be seen on buildings, bins, benches, gates and even a radiator cover.
The city council received the Corporate Heraldry Award at a ceremony in London.
The accolade, sponsored by the national Heraldry Society is given twice a year to recognise how coats of arms strengthen a place or organisation's identity.
Worcester City's ancient arms feature a castle while the modern arms have the addition of three black pears.
Mr Whitworth, a former lecturer who runs a genealogy business, entered the city for the award.
He wrote in detail about how the people of Worcester identify the council and the city using the crests.
Floreat Semper Fidelis Civitas - Let the faithful city ever flourish
Civitas in bello et pace fidelis - In war and peace, a faithful city
Semper fidelis mutare sperno - Ever faithful, I scorn to change
"We are delighted that Worcester's commitment to its heraldic heritage and the importance of the city crest has been recognised nationally," said Councillor Lucy Hodgson, the council's cabinet member for history and heritage.
"This award can only help to strengthen Worcester's case to gain Heritage City status in 2016."
Jermaine Beckford gave Preston the lead, lobbing in following a mix-up between Paul McShane and Ali Al-Habsi.
Stephen Quinn's long-range drive drew Reading level with his first goal for the club.
Johnson wrapped up Preston's first win since a 2-1 victory over Blackburn on 2 April with a 91st-minute finish.
Reading manager Brian McDermott: "If you get back to 1-1, you don't expect to lose that late in the game.
"Walking round that pitch (on a lap of honour) is never good when you've just lost a game that late and also where we've ended up in the league.
"But I've been in this situation before in 2004-05, when we walked around the pitch at Wigan. The following season, we won the league. So that's what I hang on to."
Preston manager Simon Grayson: "The lads showed today that they're not on their holidays. We're making sure we finish the season in a positive manner and get as many points as possible.
"A lot of teams would maybe have settled for a 1-1 draw here, but we keep challenging the players and they've shown again that they've got a fantastic spirit for each other and the club."
The 25-year-old has scored six goals in 21 appearances this season.
Smith started his career with Darlington and has also had spells with Charlton and Swindon.
Cobblers boss Justin Edinburgh, who managed Smith during a loan spell at Newport, told the club website: "He is a good size, has a good goalscoring record and an excellent work ethic."

Simon Quinn, 43, of Horsham, West Sussex, was paid at least £7,000 for information over a 10-year period.
He supplied details from murder inquiries and investigations involving celebrities, before resigning from Surrey Police in 2011.
Quinn pleaded guilty in October last year to misconduct in public office.
The ex-detective constable, who admitted misconduct between 1 November 2000 and 30 January 2011, was arrested by the Met Police in 2013.
He was arrested as part of Operation Elveden, Scotland Yard's investigation into corrupt payments to public officials.
Detective Chief Superintendent Gordon Briggs, the officer in charge of the investigation, said Quinn was the ninth police officer and the 27th public official to be convicted of selling confidential information to journalists.
"Their dishonest actions merit criminal convictions," he said.
"It is the role of a police officer to serve and protect. Leaking sensitive and confidential information is an abuse of the trust the public hold in us," he added.
Deputy Chief Constable Nick Ephgrave, from Surrey Police, said any police officer who sold information to journalists was guilty of an "appalling abuse" of trust.
The force "fully supported" Operation Elveden and had officers working with the Met on the case, he added.
Quinn, who was sentenced at the Old Bailey, admitted leaking details of the police investigation into Milly Dowler, who vanished in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, as she walked home from school on 21 March 2002.
Her remains were found in Hampshire six months later.
Revelations that the 13-year-old's mobile phone had also been hacked by a private investigator prompted public outrage over the ethics and practices of the UK media, and led to News International closing the News of the World in 2011.
Meanwhile, an ex-News of the World journalist, whose conviction for paying public officials was quashed last week, will not face a retrial, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.
Last week the Court of Appeal quashed the conviction of the journalist - who cannot be named - a prison officer and his friend.
The reporter was given a six-month suspended sentence in November.
The Court of Appeal, led by The Lord Chief Justice, ruled that the trial judge, Charles Wide, had mis-directed the jury at the Old Bailey on the issue of "seriousness" of the offence.

The Brazil captain, a five-time Fifa World Player of the Year, enjoyed one of the proudest moments in her career last year when she was one of her country's flag-bearers at her home Olympics in Rio.
Becoming the most famous female footballer of the past 20 years is a dream she could never have imagined would come true when she was working to earn a wage as an 11-year-old.
"I used to sell fruit in the public market, once a week to help my family and it was not even our own fruit, it was someone else's," said the 31-year-old forward, who joined Orlando Pride in the United States in early April from Sweden's FC Rosengard.
"I worked selling clothes in street stands too. I think that's one of the things people do not believe I've done.
"That happened when I was 10, 11 years old, when I was a kid. This is not normal, this isn't correct. Kids should be in school. But unfortunately I had no way to go to school, my mother could not take me there because of our financial situation," added Marta, who is from Dois Riachos, in north-east Brazil.
"My mum went through many difficulties with four children to raise. My father left her very early, I was less than one year old when he left. I would meet her only at night because of work and unfortunately we didn't have much time together. I saw that constant struggle and that inspired me a lot to get where I am now."
Despite her pride at flying the Brazilian flag in front of thousands of fans in Rio, the Olympics were tinged with disappointment for Marta as the hosts finished fourth after losing to Sweden on penalties in the semi-finals and then to Canada in the bronze-medal match.
But she feels inspiring future generations was a huge positive from the Games.
"We constantly noticed the warmth of the fans all the time with us, the people stuck with us," she said.
"It was sad because we did not get the medal, but I think the biggest prize was that we realised in some way that the people were with us."
Many defences have been torn apart by her strong running, superb control and left foot but this might never have happened if she had not left home at the age of 14 to pursue her footballing career with Rio-based club Vasco da Gama.
"I remember I suffered a lot of discrimination and prejudice. It was constant; every day," she said.
"People would come to me and say: 'It's a boys' sport, you have to play with a doll.' People would even talk to my mother and to my brother to say that they shouldn't let me play with boys."
Marta was appointed a United Nations Goodwill ambassador in 2010 and she tries to champion women's football across the globe.
"A lot of girls were actually afraid to speak out, they didn't want to be labelled as a 'macho woman'," she said. "That motivated me. Now it has changed a lot."
"I think you should vote for me because everything I do, I do with love. This shows that really what we have been doing over the years has been fruitful. It would give me more motivation to pursue my best every year."
Her family had forcibly removed her from a public hospital on Thursday.
Saudatu Koroma's is the first case of Ebola to be confirmed in the country's capital Freetown, where there are no facilities to treat the virus.
Since February, more than 660 people have died of Ebola in West Africa - the world's deadliest outbreak to date.
Nigeria has put all its entry points on red alert after confirming the death there of a Liberian man who was carrying the highly contagious virus.
The man died after arriving at Lagos airport on Tuesday, in the first Ebola case in Africa's most populous country.
The outbreak began in southern Guinea and spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Reports on Saturday said that a prominent Liberian doctor, Samuel Brisbane, had died after a three-week battle with the virus.
And later it emerged that a US doctor working with Ebola patients, Kent Brantly, was being treated for the virus in a hospital in the capital Monrovia.
The virus, which kills up to 90% of those infected, spreads through contact with an infected person's bodily fluids.
Patients have a better chance of survival if they receive treatment early.
Ms Koroma was the first registered Ebola case in the capital Freetown.
Both she and her parents - who are suspected of having the virus - had been taken to Ebola treatment centres in the east of the country, health ministry spokesman Sidi Yahya Tunis told the BBC.
The woman had been one of dozens of people who tested positive but were unaccounted for, the BBC's Umaru Fofana reports from the capital, Freetown.
Her case highlights Sierra Leone's lack of preparedness in responding to the outbreak, our correspondent says, with no laboratory or treatment centre in Freetown.
The Ebola cases in Sierra Leone are centred in the country's eastern districts of Kenema and Kailahun, just over the border from the Guekedou region of Guinea where the outbreak started.
Police said thousands of people joined a street protest in Kenema on Friday over the government's handling of the outbreak.
Earlier this week, it was announced that the doctor leading Sierra Leone's fight against Ebola was being treated for the virus.
On Thursday, the World Health Organization said that 219 people had died of Ebola in Sierra Leone.
Meanwhile, in Nigeria, the health minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said that all other passengers on board the flight with the infected man had been traced and were being monitored.
The patient had "avoided contact with the general public" between the airport and the hospital, he said.
"All ports of entry to Nigeria, including airports, sea ports and land borders have been placed on red alert," he added.
WHO update
The PM said she would make it easier to deport foreign terror suspects and "restrict the freedom and movements" of those that present a threat.
Labour said it was "not the message that we should be sending".
Security has dominated the final days of the general election campaign after the terror attacks in London and Manchester.
Rival parties have been criticising the Tories over police cuts.
Speaking after the London attack, Mrs May said "enough is enough" and that "things need to change" in the terror fight.
Addressing activists in Slough on Tuesday evening, she did not make any specific new policy proposals but said: "I mean longer prison sentences for those convicted of terrorist offences.
"I mean making it easier for the authorities to deport foreign terrorist suspects back to their own countries.
"And I mean doing more to restrict the freedom and movements of terrorist suspects when we have enough evidence to know they are a threat, but not enough evidence to prosecute them in full in court.
"And if our human rights laws get in the way of doing it, we will change the law so we can do it."
In an interview with The Sun, Mrs May said she would also consider extending the time suspects can be held without charge to 28 days, after it was reduced to 14 days in 2011 under the coalition.
"We said there may be circumstances where it is necessary to do this.
"I will listen to what they [the police and security services] think is necessary for us to do," she said.
Analysis by the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg
Sources suggest if elected on Friday, Theresa May might consider ideas of curfews, controls on who people can visit and suspects' access to communications.
More controversially, she made it plain tonight that if that means the government would have to change the laws on human rights, she is prepared to do so.
Labour has immediately cried foul, claiming another manifesto U-turn, at almost the last minute of the campaign.
Tory sources deny that flatly, saying they would not pull out of the European Convention on Human Rights but instead, seek fresh derogations - essentially legal opt-outs.
Theresa May's team say she is not, at this late stage, making up last-minute policy, but that the terror risk has changed so fast since the start of the election, that she wanted to make clear that if re-elected she is prepared to toughen the law.

The Conservative manifesto committed to remaining in the European Convention on Human Rights - which is separate to the EU - for the whole of the next Parliament.
Conservative sources said they would not withdraw from the ECHR but would seek opt-outs called "derogations" from certain aspects.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the right response was to "halt the Conservative cuts and invest in our police and security services and protect our democratic values, including the Human Rights Act."
And Shadow Attorney General Baroness Chakrabarti said the PM had "been banging on about her dislike for human rights for a very long time".
She told Newsnight Labour's commitment was to deal with terror suspects within the rule of law and the human rights framework.
"Our biggest concern is about resources," she said.
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron accused the prime minister of launching a "nuclear arms race" in terror laws.
"All she would do is reduce freedom, not terrorism," he said.
The World Food Programme says that food prices remain too high, while stocks are dwindling in shops and homes.
Government forces trying to recapture the city from so-called Islamic State (IS) militants have cut supply routes, and IS is stopping people from leaving.
Falluja is one of two remaining IS strongholds in Iraq.
On Thursday the Human Rights Watch campaign group said that residents in the city were starving, with what little food available being sold at exorbitant prices, forcing some to eat food from grass.
The WFP report presents a similar picture to that of HRW.
"As the siege continued in Falluja for the third consecutive month, no sign of improvement was recorded in March," a WFP report says.
"In March, the price of wheat was six times more expensive than in December."
Furthermore, shops and markets have run out of food supplies including wheat, sugar, rice, vegetable oil and lentils, says the report, that was conducted by a mobile phone survey last month.
Reaching respondents has become increasingly hard because of poor mobile phone signals in the city and the fear of reprisals.
"Aid has not reached Falluja since the government recaptured nearby Ramadi in December 2015, with supply routes cut off by Iraqi forces and the armed groups preventing civilians from leaving," the report says.
The HRW report last week said desperate residents were using ground date seeds to make flour for bread.
One report in Vox.com says that a 110lb (50kg) bag of flour, which costs about $7.50 in the US, has been sold for as much as $4,166 (£2,925; €3,650).
It quotes sources as saying that residents in the city have to endure both "vicious IS rule and a constant fear of being killed by shells launched into the city by Iraqi military forces".
Since it came out in July 2014, it has become the best-selling literary debut hardback of the decade. This week it was named Waterstones Book of the Year and Burton won the new writer of the year prize at the National Book Awards last week.
Set in 1686, The Miniaturist tells the story of a young bride, Nella Oortman, who is given a miniature replica of her own house whose contents seem to mirror real life.
Burton, 31, wrote the book over four years while working as an actress and as a PA in a City firm. She tells the BBC's Tim Masters how she got the idea on holiday in Amsterdam, and about her next book.
When you are an unpublished writer and you don't have an agent it is a world of doubt whether this work will ever see the light of day. The reason I sometimes hated it was because I could see it in my mind's eye but I couldn't necessarily make it manifest on the page.
People have described it as an ambitious book. I never thought of it as that. There were a lot of plot strands to balance - it takes a very long time to make a book readable for the general public and that was my struggle.
I was doing it to the fill the gaps in between acting. I always made sure I did my other work but I did have to write it in bits because I had to pay the bills.
I was very fascinated by this house and I stood in front of it for a lot longer than anybody else. The things that caught my attention was the fact that she spent as much money on it as her real house. I thought: "Why?"
The society of the time was one of great ostentation. In a wealthy society like that they were painting themselves and decorating their houses - there was a lot of evidence left for me to look at. There are so many paintings and first-hand accounts. There's a cookbook I used from 1671.
But I didn't want it to be a didactic history lesson for the reader. I wanted it to be a story with characters who you cared about.
Why do you think the character of Nella has had such appeal to readers?
Nella is so spirited and she takes life by the horns and gets on with it. She's a life force and I think people are attracted to that.
You're a trained actor - will this story have any life on the stage?
It would be great if it was adapted into a play. It would be a good Christmas extravaganza - maybe a musical. Maybe I should write a libretto.
Do you miss acting?
I don't think it ever quite leaves you but one of the reasons this book came into being was because the acting was drying up - as it does for quite a few women in their late 20s. The publishing industry has welcomed me with open arms far more than the acting industry ever did.
What stage are you at with your next novel?
It's called Belonging. I'm about a quarter of the way through a first draft. I've got the whole book plotted out.
It's a dual time frame that starts in the Spanish Civil War. A promising artist goes missing - presumed dead - and then 30 years later in a London art gallery his works re-emerge. This opens a can of worms for the woman working in the gallery who's been trying to keep secrets.
It's a thriller with romance and art in the mix. I'm having fun with it.
Since taking over in 2011, Hansen has a win ratio of 91%, and guided the All Blacks to World Cup success in 2015.
Steve Tew, chief executive of the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU), has left the door open to Hansen continuing in his post after the 2019 World Cup.
"I doubt his record will ever be mirrored, and long may it continue," Tew told BBC Radio 5 live.
Hansen is contracted until the end of the next World Cup in Japan in two years' time, and is expected to step down following the tournament.
Vern Cotter, Joe Schmidt and Warren Gatland have all been tipped to replace him, but Tew says it is not a foregone conclusion that Hansen will relinquish the role.
"Steve has gone from strength to strength," added Tew, who was appointed in 2011.
"If Steve had an appetite to keep going, and was sure he had the group of people around him and the players were motivated by that, then it's obviously something we would very seriously consider."
Hansen was elevated to the top job having served as an assistant to Sir Graham Henry, and Tew says the concept of again promoting from within appeals to the NZRU were Hansen to leave the post.
"At this stage we are still thinking through exactly how we run that process - it can be complicated," Tew continued.
"But don't overlook [current All Blacks assistant coach] Ian Foster in this country. He is sitting in a very successful environment and making an enormous contribution.
"We certainly want to have that option [of promoting from within], and Ian is definitely one of those options we want to have ready and appropriately skilled and experienced."
Tew also says the NZRU are in regular contact with the Kiwi coaches working overseas.
"We produce a lot of coaches, and in this professional era there is a strong drive from ex-players to stay in the game," said Tew.
"We can't actually offer all of them jobs, so some of them going overseas is beneficial, but we are very keen to keep them connected and very keen to keep them back when the time is right."
But while New Zealand rugby has perhaps never been in a stronger place, Tew says they won't let up in their bid for continued global dominance.
"We don't make any apology for doing as well as we possibly can, but you have to be really careful you don't get complacent," he said.
"People are currently questioning where Australian rugby is at - I won't join that debate - but it was only 2015 when they won the Rugby Championship and reached a World Cup final - so things can change very, very quickly.
"We won't take anything for granted and we won't get complacent, but we certainly won't be giving anyone a break, because we don't think that's the right thing to do either."
John Delozier, of Johnston, is charged with assault, strangulation and harassment.
According to a police report, the 31-year-old suspect accused his wife of only caring about money just before the attack last Saturday.
The victim had suggested saving some of the money they were given as gifts.
Mr Delozier initially fled the scene, but was arrested and is awaiting trial at the Cambria County Prison.
Joseph Mathunjwa, the president of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), said it had accepted a wage deal.
He said the AMCU's striking members would return to work on Wednesday.
The stoppage has affected 45% of the global supply of platinum and played a part in the contraction of South Africa's economy in the first quarter.
So far the mining companies involved, Anglo American Platinum, Imapla Platinum and Lonmin, have not commented. Management are meeting the AMCU on Tuesday when the deal is expected to be signed.
Mr Mathunjwa was addressing a stadium full of workers, who have not been paid for five months.
The workers shouted "sign, sign, sign".
Mr Mathunjwa said the companies had "agreed to the bulk of our demands".
The strike began on 23 January, when more than 70,000 workers downed tools to demand higher wages and benefits.
The strike has hit platinum production in the world's top exporting country, with companies reporting a combined loss of 23.8bn rand (£1.3bn, $2.2bn) in earnings.
The deal could mean pay of as much as 12,500 rand (£694) per month, depending on the seniority of the workers, with increases over the next three years.
South Africa holds around 80% of the world's known platinum reserves. So far stockpiles have kept the markets supplied with the metal, which is key for producing catalytic converters used to reduce automotive pollution.
The South African rand gained almost 1% to 10.5575 to the US dollar, its strongest since 9 June.
The heat has been compounded by chronic power shortages, depriving homes of electricity for large parts of the day.
The conditions have placed a particular strain on Iraqis displaced by an assault on Falluja, a UN official said.
Average temperatures in June were the highest recorded worldwide - a rise attributed to greenhouse gas emissions.
According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for June was 0.9C above the 20th Century average of 15.5C.
The heatwave in Iraq prompted the closure of all government offices on Wednesday and Thursday, the last days of the working week, and brought life to a standstill in many parts of the country.
The soaring temperatures, coupled with shortages of drinking water and electricity, have made life harder for Iraqis displaced by a military assault on Falluja, a town formerly held by so-called Islamic State militants.
A UN spokeswoman who visited two camps for the displaced this week told the BBC that many residents were only "grabbing one or two hours of sleep a night" because of the heat.
Caroline Gluck, from UN refugee agency UNHCR, said people at camps in Habbaniya and Amiriyat al-Falluja were trying to keep cool by moistening their clothes.
She added that many families had only brought one set of clothes with them. Several residents had developed pus-filled sores, she said, possibly as a result of the heat and inadequate hygiene.
Near-record temperatures have also been reported in neighbouring Kuwait. Across the region, social media users have been tweeting about the heat.
@9Khaled5 tweeted: "#Heatwave_strikes_Saudi A moment of silence for the death of the greatest inventor in history…Willis Carrier, the inventor of air conditioning."
@7510x_ asked: "Is this heat or has Kuwait entered the [hell] fire?"
@sa113355 shared a video that claims to show a man in the Iraqi city of Basra, frying an egg on the pavement.
And @noorhan__ali described the heat as just another test of the Iraqi people's tolerance, alongside "rubbish internet", "attacks by cockroaches" - and Islamic State.
Randox Testing Services (RTS) is used by forces across the UK to analyse samples used in prosecutions.
Police chiefs said it had been told 484 cases handled by the firm since November 2015 may have been affected.
The men, 47 and 31, were arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and bailed, police said.
RTS said it was fully co-operating with the investigation and some tests could be "re-run".
The allegations relate to drug tests analysed at its Manchester office.
In a statement, RTS said there was no evidence to say alcohol samples were affected because they were not tested at that site.
The firm, based in Northern Ireland, said the investigation centres on the "manipulation of quality control data, which supports test results".
A statement added: "A number of toxicology results have been compromised. RTS are working tirelessly to fully assess the impact and implications for each case.
"Where possible, when viable, samples will be re-run to provide robust, uncompromised results.
"There is no question mark over the RTS quality system or the robustness of our practices and procedures."
Chief Constable Debbie Simpson, the National Police Chiefs' Council lead for forensic science, said Randox had provided each force with a list of cases that could have been affected.
"Working in partnership with the Crown Prosecution Service, we have provided guidance to forces so they are able to review each case to determine if compromised data played a part in prosecution and the CPS will then take appropriate action in any cases identified," she added. | Millions of people may be planning their retirement based on wrong information thanks to government "bungling" MPs have warned.

The State of Nature report assessed 8,000 UK species and found that one in 10 are threatened with extinction.
More than half of farmland birds (56%) including the turtle dove and corn bunting are in danger of extinction.
The National Farmers Union said the report ignored progress made by farmers on conservation in the last 25 years.
Mark Eaton is the lead author of the paper. He said: "We now know that farming practices over recent decades have had the single largest impact on the UK's wildlife.
"The great majority of that impact has been negative. This isn't deliberate, it is a by-product of changes in farming to make it more efficient."
"There have been big changes in farming which has made it much more efficient. This is great for putting food on the table. But nature has been squeezed out. Our research for the first time has quantified that."
Farmland makes up three quarters of the UK's landscape. The report assessed the risk of extinction for 1,118 farmland species. Of 26 bird species almost half (46%) are in danger of going extinct including the corn bunting and the turtle dove and their numbers are still declining. Skylark numbers are down 60% since 1970.
Plants, insects and butterflies have also suffered, with the abundance of butterfly species such as the high brown fritillary having diminished by 57% since 1990.
Some 12% of farmland species are now on the Red List, including plants such as the Shepherd-needle and corn marigolds.
Mr Eaton pointed to the increasing use of pesticides and herbicides, increased fertiliser use, the loss of hedgerows from farms and changing farming practices.
Crops are now mostly sown in autumn instead of spring, and this has had a negative impact on some birds, although it has been good for other species, such as the woodpigeon.
"A lot of these things we can't go back on. Autumn-sowing is much better for farmers, so we can't expect them to change tack. But we need to find a way within these new systems - finding the tweaks that will let nature back in. We don't want to go back to Constable country, we know it's not possible."
"We do know that farming and nature can co-exist. There are agri-environment schemes - farmers can farm in environmentally friendly ways. So we can do both."
National Farmers Union (NFU) vice-president Guy Smith said: "As the report acknowledges, agricultural policies of the past did focus on maximising food production, resulting in the intensification of farming in the years after World War II.
"However, since the early 1990s, in terms of inputs and in terms of numbers of livestock and area of crops grown British agriculture has not intensified - in fact it's the reverse. Therefore it makes little sense to attribute cause and effect to 'the intensification of agriculture' in the UK in the last quarter of a century when there hasn't been any.
"Other causes acknowledged in the report, such as urbanisation, climate change or increasing predator pressure need greater attention."
The NFU says that farmers have planted or restored 30,000km of hedgerows, and given over the borders of their fields to plant wildflowers for birds and bees. It adds that it is "using less fertiliser and pesticides than ever".
Mr Smith also pointed out the fundamental need for farmers to produce food. "There is now a high degree of academic consensus that the world will also need to increase food production significantly to meet the needs of a growing population.
"This increased demand for food will have to be met using finite agricultural land, while our climate continues to change, which will inevitably place further constraints on production in many parts of the world."
In a foreword to the report, Sir David Attenborough said: "Escalating pressures such as climate change and modern land management mean we continue to lose the precious wildlife that enriches our lives and is essential to the health and well-being of those who live in the UK, and also its Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories. Our wonderful nature is in serious trouble and needs our help as never before."
Among the 50 conservation and research organisations that have contributed to the report are the National Trust, Buglife, Wildlife Trusts and the RSPB. It was the last State of Nature report in 2013 that highlighted the dramatic loss in wildlife from the countryside: turtle dove numbers having fallen by over 90% since 1970, and hedgehog numbers declining by a third since the turn of the century. Three years later, the picture is almost as bleak. The report states: "There was no statistical difference - no change in the proportion of species threatened with extinction."
The State of Nature report does not go into detail on the EU subsidy system, but blames the current damage being done to nature on "policy-driven" intensification.
Fiona Mathews, chair of the Mammal Society and associate professor at the University of Exeter, and an author of the report, said: "The reality is that our human population is expanding and we need urgently to work out how we can live alongside our wildlife."
Matt Shardlow, chief executive of BugLife, said: "Government investment in wildlife conservation has dropped by a third in the last six years. This makes it even more crucial that the wishes of the public are respected and Brexit results in the maintenance of current wildlife protection and the introduction of new environmental framework legislation that will set the foundation for reversing wildlife loss."
The National Trust, one of the charities involved in this report, believes that Brexit provides an opportunity to reform the current "broken" system. Subsidies should be maintained but wildlife and the environment should be put at the centre of how this public money should be handed out.
Tim Breitmeyer, from the Countryside Land and Business Association, said: "As we start to develop policy for a UK outside of the EU, it is critical that a proper understanding is established between farmers and environmental groups. As landowners, our starting point is clear: only a profitable, resilient farming sector can realistically invest time and resource in environmental management."
Marine plant species and also some vertebrates such as small fish are faring slightly better. Almost 70% of the species surveyed are increasing in number. However, marine invertebrates such as plankton are suffering - with 75% of species declining.
The report also highlighted the "many inspiring examples of conservation action that is helping to turn the tide", such as restoration and reintroduction projects.
The authors also assessed British species found in woods, moors and mountains and in freshwater and marine environments.

They found a protein "signature" only present in people with the disease.
Pancreatic cancer is often very advanced by the time it is diagnosed - and only 3% of patients are alive five years after diagnosis.
Cancer charities welcomed the study, published in Clinical Cancer Research, saying a test was "much needed".
Just under 9,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the UK every year. It has the lowest five-year survival rate of any common cancer and one that has barely improved in 40 years.
More than 80% of people with the disease are diagnosed when it has already spread, so they are not eligible for surgery to remove the tumour - currently the only potential cure.
Those at higher risk include people with a family history of the cancer, heavy smokers, obese people and people over 50 who are newly diagnosed with diabetes.
The scientists from the UK and Spain who developed the test hope that if its early promise is realised then it could be possible to diagnose patients much earlier and offer them treatment.
The research looked at almost 500 urine samples. Just under 200 were from patients with pancreatic cancer, 92 from patients with chronic pancreatitis and 87 from healthy volunteers.
The rest of the samples were from patients with benign and cancerous liver and gall bladder conditions.
Out of 1,500 proteins found in the urine samples, three - LYVE1, REG1A and TFF1 - were seen to be at much higher levels in the pancreatic cancer patients, providing a "protein signature" that could identify the most common form of the disease.
The signature was found to be 90% accurate.
Patients with chronic pancreatitis were found to have lower levels of the same three proteins.
More research is now planned, and scientists will focus particularly on people whose genes put them at particular risk of pancreatic cancer.
Co-author Prof Nick Lemoine of the Barts Cancer Institute, said: "It's really exciting because for the first time we might be able to bring forward the window of opportunity for patients with pancreatic cancer - from something that is advanced and late stage to something that is early stage and potentially curable by surgery.
"Patients are usually diagnosed when the cancer is already at a terminal stage, but if diagnosed at stage 2, the survival rate is 20%, and at stage 1, the survival rate for patients with very small tumours can increase up to 60%."
The Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund said this was "an exciting finding" and that an early diagnostic test was "much needed".
Fiona Osgun, of Cancer Research UK, said: "At the moment, we're a long way from knowing if this research could lead to a test that would help detect pancreatic cancer at an early stage, or who that test might benefit.
"But research like this is vital as there's been little progress in improving survival for pancreatic cancer, and innovative approaches are needed."
Rugby union's global fixture cycle is under scrutiny with no Tests agreed beyond the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
BBC Sport last month reported rugby administrators worldwide were nearing an agreement on a new rugby union calendar.
And Roberts said: "I hope the Lions can continue to have the right space."
The Lions will tour New Zealand next summer in a punishing 10-match schedule, with the first tour match on 3 June - a week after the Premiership and Pro12 finals take place.
It is a schedule which has been described as "ludicrous" by Mark McCall, director of rugby at English champions Saracens.
The third and final Test against the All Blacks takes place on 8 July, when English clubs will be starting pre-season training ahead of the 2017-2018 campaign.
Roberts, 29, who will hope to be selected for his third Lions tour, said players would put aside any complaints of a gruelling season to play for the Lions.
"I've been very, very grateful to have had the privilege and the honour of being on a Lions tour and experiencing that as a player," added the Harlequins player.
"To see that not be one of the big, big things in the rugby calendar would be very, very sad.
"It's an extremely special and privileged place to be. And regardless of how much your body's hurting after a long and tough season, you're ready. You're ready to really put your body on the line."
One of the consequences of no international calendar would mean the Lions tour would have to be negotiated individually as the current deal between the home unions and New Zealand, Australia and South Africa ends after the 2017 series.
It is thought when the new calendar is agreed it will feature fewer international matches and summer tours, but the British and Irish Lions series and the World Cup will retain their places.

West Midlands Police said they faced charges including preparing to travel to Syria to engage in terrorism and helping others to travel.
The five, all from Walsall in the West Midlands, are expected to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Three of the group were arrested last week while the others were originally held in February.
Those charged are Alex Nash, 21, and his wife Yousma Jan, 20, of Bentley Road, and Ayman Shaukat, 27, of Pargetter Street, who were arrested on 9 June.
Lorna Moore, 34, of Glebe Street, and Kerry Thomason, 23, of an undisclosed address, were detained in February before being released on bail.
The man, who apparently stabbed passers-by on the street at random, was shot dead by police.
The injured have been taken to hospital, where two are in a critical condition, the state-owned RIA Novosti news agency reports.
The Islamic State militant group (IS) said on its official news channel that it was behind the attack.
Russia's Investigations Committee said it had identified the attacker and was checking his psychological history.
The attacker was a local resident born in 1994, it said.
A spokeswoman for the committee told Reuters news agency she would not comment on the possibility of terrorist motives, calling the attack "attempted murder".
The attack happened at about 11:20 local time (06:20 GMT). An earlier statement said eight people had been wounded, but that was later revised to seven.
Surgut, about 2,100km (1,300 miles) east of Moscow in the Khanty-Mansiysk area of Siberia, has a population of more than 350,000.
An official post-mortem found that Bland, 28, committed suicide by hanging herself. But her family rejected this and ordered a separate post-mortem.
Bland was found dead on 13 July, three days after she was taken into custody.
She was arrested after a confrontation with the officer who had stopped her for not signalling when changing lanes.
State officials and the FBI are investigating her death.
Mourners including local politicians queued for more than an hour outside the DuPage African Methodist Episcopal Church in Lisle, Illinois, to file past an open coffin and attend the funeral, Reuters news agency reported.
So many mourners came that an overflow crowd had to watch a live video feed in the basement, it said.
Some of those present had never met her.
"I didn't know Sandra, and I don't know what happened", one man said. "But she didn't have to die," Hank Brown told the Chicago Tribune.
Another mourner who had not known Bland said that as an African American woman she was there "just to show my solidarity to her family and in support of the African American community and the struggles that we have," AP reported.
Footage of the 10 July arrest, released by the Texas Department of Public Safety, shows Sandra Bland's car being pulled over for failing to signal, followed by an altercation with the lone officer.
Bland was taken into custody and charged with assaulting a policeman.

World champions Germany won 3-2 at Hampden on Monday to leave the Scots fourth in Group D - four points behind third-placed Republic of Ireland.
The top two in the nine groups and best third-placed team qualify; the other eight in third face a two-leg play-off.
"We are still in this," said Strachan, whose side host Poland and visit Gibraltar in their final two games.
Unlike group leaders Germany, Poland and Republic of Ireland, Scotland cannot now claim one of the two automatic qualification spots.
The target is third place and a double-header against another third-place team for a spot in the Euro 2016 finals in France.
Republic of Ireland, who beat Georgia 1-0 on Monday, have a home match against Germany before finishing their campaign with a trip to Poland.
"Well played to the Irish for winning," said Strachan. "We've had two chances over the last couple of days to pick up points and we've not done that, so we can't look about and blame anybody else for anything.
"But trust me, we're still in this.
"If we play like that, the same determination with a wee bit luck - when you play the world champions you need a wee bit of luck. You don't need deflections coming off someone's foot and creeping in the back of the net."
Thomas Muller twice put Germany ahead, but Scotland pegged them back on both occasions via a Mats Hummels own goal and a James McArthur strike.
However Ilkay Gundogan slotted home the winner in the 54th minute.
"They're a bit disappointed in there but I can feel within that disappointment that they gave it a good shot," said Strachan.
"We were just a fraction away from it being the perfect performance. We're three or four passes from being a right good side.
"There's a couple of times in my managerial career when I get angry, I get sad, and actually at this point you feel for the players.
"Every one of those guys has got something inside them that drives them on. To go behind against the world champions, go behind again and you keep coming back, keep plugging away - they can be proud of their performances.
"I can't wait to get them back together. I'm really proud of them and they should be proud of themselves."
"He likes to live in the present," Snapchat told the Wall Street Journal.
And he was attempting to show that "ephemeral media" had a powerful role to play in modern communications.
Mr Spiegel also launched a low-quality YouTube video to explain with paper and pen how his social network worked.
He said: "It is all to do with the way that photographs have changed.
"It used to be that photographs were about saving memories.
"Today, pictures are being used for talking.
"That is why people are taking and sending so many pictures on Snapchat every day.
"It is about instant expression - showing people who you are in the moment."
Snapchat co-founder Bobby Murphy also deleted his entire tweet history.
Enders Analysis consultant Ian Maude said: "Increasingly, Mr Spiegel has to communicate with the world through his own platform."
He said: "You don't see [Facebook's] Mark Zuckerberg or Sheryl Sandberg tweeting much."
Snapchat has proved hugely popular, especially with the under-25s, since its 2011 launch.
Vodafone recently revealed 75% of the instant-messaging traffic on its UK network was down to the mobile app.
In January, it launched Discover, in which a series of publishers, including CNN and the Daily Mail, were invited to repackage news to Snapchat users.
"Snapchat is now hiring its own team of journalists," said Mr Maude.
"It is becoming a content-distribution platform."

"Being awarded the BookTrust Lifetime Achievement Award is an incredible honour and I'm so glad I've been able to make such an impression on people."
In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he added: "It's a bit funny, it being called a lifetime achievement because it implies that you're at the end, you've had your lifetime, we want it tidied up, here's your award, get out."
He also said he is not a fan of Christmas, despite being so heavily associated with The Snowman.
"I don't like Christmas at all, I don't think anybody does," he said.
"It's full of anxiety, 'Have I got enough, have I spent enough, have I spent so much, we had so and so last year so we have to have so and so this year,' I can't bear it really. I get letters from people all the time saying 'We agree with you'."

Raymond Briggs has that gift only relatively few artists possess, which is an ability to produce work that touches people of all ages and backgrounds.
Be it The Snowman - now a Christmas perennial - or Ethel and Ernest - the graphic novel charting his parent's life - the characters he portrays are invariably imbued with a soulfulness that makes you, the reader, care deeply about their story.
His style as an illustrator and storyteller is understated in tone but bold in approach.
Difficult subjects are not ducked; the shade accentuates the light.
For each new generation introduced to his Fungus the Bogeyman, or Father Christmas, there lies in store a lifetime of literary and artistic discoveries produced by the unsentimental, but sympathetic hand of Raymond Briggs.
Briggs' other most noted works include Father Christmas, Ug, The Bear, Gentleman Jim, and Ethel and Ernest.
The panel of judges included children's laureate Chris Riddell, How to Train Your Dragon creator Cressida Cowell and ex-director of the human rights group Liberty, Baroness Chakrabarti.

The West Indies all-rounder made nine from seven balls in Thunder's nine-wicket derby defeat by Sydney Sixers.
Players can use coloured bats in the Big Bash as long as it is the same as the club's primary colour, or black.
CA had originally approved Russell's bat before Monday's match, which was the 2016-17 tournament opener.
Head of the Big Bash Anthony Everard said: "The match officials provided feedback to Cricket Australia that the bat used by Andre left black marks on the match ball.
"As a result, we have decided to withdraw our approval for Andre to use the bat.
"Should Andre, or any other Big Bash or Women's Big Bash player for that matter, wish to use a bat with a different colouring solution that doesn't result in the discolouration of the match ball, they will be permitted to do so.
"This is subject to Cricket Australia being satisfied that the bat won't compromise the integrity of the game, which we believe discolouring the match ball does."
Many people with savings accounts automatically move on to a poorer deal when the initial teaser rate is over.
Banks should alert customers to changes to interest rates or the maturity of a fixed-term account, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said.
The plans follow an FCA investigation into the £700bn UK savings market.
"In a good market, providers should be competing to offer the best possible deal," said Christopher Woolard, director at the FCA.
"Consumers should expect the information they need to shop around to be clear and easy to understand."
In January, the FCA's investigation concluded that millions of savers were getting a raw deal, particularly from the big High Street banks.
It found that those with older savings accounts tended to be left earning less interest than new customers. In many cases, their rate was lower than the Bank of England's base rate.
The regulator is planning to name and shame that pay poor interest rates to longstanding customers.
The FCA had already ruled out banning introductory bonus interest rates, which is used to tempt savers, but now says that people should be "actively alerted" to changes in their rates.
Customers should be given clear information about the deal they are on, and be allowed to switch accounts with "the minimum of fuss".
Information should be clear to allow customers to compare accounts. This could come in the form of a switching box, which ranks the deal alongside industry norms.
Banks have argued that the low interest rate environment seen since the financial crisis is to blame for the low returns being offered.
Campaigners disagree, and have welcomed the FCA's proposals.
"For too long providers have increased profitability to the detriment of customers as their cash sits in accounts offering miserly returns," said Andrew Hagger, of Moneycomms.co.uk, who described the plans as "long overdue".
"Too often banks and building societies offer best buy deals for new customers whilst hoards of loyal savers on the back book are left with long forgotten deals paying next to nothing."
The plans will now go out to consultation, with rule changes earmarked for July 2016.
The FCA also wants customers with cash in Individual Savings Accounts (Isas) to be able to switch provider in seven days from January 2017.
The 500 silver clippings, dubbed the Toenail Hoard, were unearthed by Gavin Warren using a metal detector in the Forest of Dean.
Shaved from the edges of coins dating back to 1560, the precious metal would have been melted down and sold.
Finds liaison officer Kurt Adams said: "Forty to 60 clippings is normal - one of this size is very, very rare."
Mr Warren - who unearthed the Yorkley Roman coin hoard in 2012 - said he was testing out a "beginner's metal detector" in a field, when he made the discovery.
"It was about four inches down, all in a big ball - we thought it was pieces of fencing until I spotted the words James I and Elizabeth I," he said.
"There were about 500 clippings - like pig tails - ranging from half crowns right down to pennies, all silver."
With hanging literally too good for those caught clipping the edges off silver coins in the 17th Century, Mr Warren said whoever buried the hoard had been risking their life.
"For women the punishment was being burnt at the stake, for a bloke it was being hung, drawn and quartered," he said.
"It would have been a lot to have been caught with."
Mr Adams, from the Portable Antiquities Scheme, said the hoard, currently being catalogued at the British Museum, was not only "one of the biggest" but a "fantastic bit of social history".
"The earliest clippings date from the reign of Elizabeth I, so 1560s to 1570s, and the latest from 1645," he said.
"It showed people were defrauding the Mint when it was enormously important that coins weren't tampered with in any way - so it's an incredibly rare find."
Bannview Medical Practice in Portadown faced potential closure after its last remaining doctor resigned but was thrown a lifeline when a new contract provider was announced.
On Monday, it was announced that the contractor who was in negotiations had withdrawn from the process.
It has 5,200 patients on its books.
Answering an urgent oral question in the Assembly, Michelle O'Neill also said there was a possibility the Southern Trust could step in and take on the contract.
This is significant as it would mean one of Northern Ireland's five health trusts would be directly employing GPs.
That means they would lose their independence, something the BMA would not favour.
Senior doctors have been warning for some time about the problems facing GP surgeries.
Grainne Doran is chair of the Royal College of GP's in Northern Ireland.
"I think that we are entering a perfect storm. It has been highlighted that the recruitment issue was coming, the premises issue was coming and that the number of doctors reaching retirement age was coming and is coming," she said.
"So it's not that we are inventing something, it is happening in real time. The difficulty is that the solution should have started five to 10 years ago and we are now trying to fast-track those solutions."
Another issue facing the profession is that of the 1,317 GPs in Northern Ireland, 411 are locums, while others are part-time.
Ms Doran said more needs to be done to encourage locums to take up permanent posts, particularly in the current climate.
"What the locums would like is to know that there is some control over workload, that's there's guaranteed holidays, that they have financial investment in the practice to guarantee their income and that they have mentoring and support to help them through the challenges of running a business as well as the clinical side," she said.
The Health and Social Care Board (HSCB) said it would welcome more locums taking up permanent posts.
Dr Sloan Harper from the HSCB said it would be enormously helpful.
"It would help to stabilise care provided within practices and would be helpful for the doctors in that they are working consistently with the patients and can follow them over time and see their development."
It is widely accepted that working as a locum can be more lucrative. When practices are up against finding staff, additional money can be offered to locums to fill in gaps on the rota.
On Bannview Medical Practice, the board said it was continuing to manage the practice in the interim period and that it is providing a normal service to all patients.
They add that it is no longer running in an "emergency-only" capacity and no decision has been made to close it.
Victory in the 200m final at Rio 2016 means the 29-year-old needs another win in the 4x100m relay alongside his Jamaican team-mates at 02:35 BST on Saturday to complete an unprecedented 'treble treble' of Olympic sprint golds in the 100m, 200m and relay.
He's done it all while athletics has been struggling to maintain its popularity, a succession of doping scandals draining away people's belief in what they're watching.
It's not too much of a stretch to describe Bolt as his sport's saviour. His remarkable feats can, briefly, bring the world to a halt, while he possesses a magnetic appeal that transcends track and field and crosses generations.
Why is he so popular? And, as BBC TV's Olympic coverage asked in the aftermath of his latest gold, what on earth are we going to do without him?
Unaffected, laid-back but always the showman, Bolt makes the superhuman seem routine and his easy charm is hugely endearing.
Of course, people are also awed by watching staggering sporting feats - like setting world records in the 100m of 9.58 seconds and the 200m of 19.19 seconds - but it's the way he does it that makes Bolt different.
Not for him the muscular machismo of many sprinters. Swaying, dancing and posing before and after races, he looks like he's having a great time and the sense of fun is infectious.
While the time we see him in action is oh so brief, he appears to have all the time in the world for fans and journalists once his business is complete.
Media playback is not supported on this device
His laps of honour feature a seemingly endless stream of selfies for thrilled supporters, with Bolt providing a smile for everyone. He waits patiently when some fans struggle to get the settings on their phone right and shows them how it's done when technology defeats them.
Once he's amiably ambled his way round the track, it's straight into a succession of interviews,.
BBC Radio 5 live's Sonia McLaughlin was number 49 in the line of media waiting to speak with Bolt after his 200m victory and he fielded similar questions with the same excitement - more than an hour after his race had finished - as he had when he spoke to the BBC's trackside television reporter Phil Jones in the immediate aftermath of his race.
His appeal overwhelms some journalists who lose all semblance of professionalism and demand their own selfies. It's all in a day's work for Bolt.
With his 30th birthday on Sunday and retirement due after next year's World Athletics Championships in London, let's continue to enjoy him while we still can.
The man himself said: "What else can I do to prove I am the greatest? I'm trying to be one of the greatest, to be among Ali and Pele. I have made the sport exciting, I have made people want to see the sport. I have put the sport on a different level."
Fellow Jamaican Yohan Blake, 2012 Olympic 100m silver medallist and 2011 world champion: "Congrats to my friend and training partner Usain Bolt. Well done big man. A true inspiration and a living legend!"
Tennis player Genie Bouchard to fellow Canadian and 200m silver medallist Andre de Grasse: "Silver after Bolt is really like gold am I right?"
Wayde van Niekerk, 400m gold medallist and world record holder: "Congratulations Usain Bolt, King of sprints. True inspiration and motivation."
There's no doubting his athletic ability - Bolt is built for running.
But such a perfect sportsman could surely adapt to other disciplines? We put his details into our Olympic body match tool to find out what else he's equipped for.
Here are the results. at 1.95m tall and weighing 94kg, Bolt is similar to:
1. Russian rower Anton Zarutskiy
2. Irish hockey player David Harte
3. Argentine volleyball player Cristian Poglajen

Incumbent party candidate Mr Moreno won 51.16% of the vote, the country's electoral council announced.
Conservative Guillermo Lasso, whom three exit polls predicted would win after the vote on Sunday, got 48.8%.
Mr Lasso has already indicated he will challenge the vote, having earlier alleged fraud.
But with 99.65% of ballots counted, the National Electoral Council's Pablo Pozo said these were the "irreversible official results".
"We congratulate the Ecuadoran people, who have legally and legitimately elected their president," he said.
"Ecuador has spoken freely at the ballot box and it is our ethical duty to respect its vote and its voice."
After the announcement, Mr Moreno tweeted: "Many thanks to all Ecuadorians, who voted for us and who did not, and democracy is strengthened."
Correspondents say his win bucks the trend across Latin America of people turning their backs on the left in favour of the right.
He succeeds his close ally Rafael Correa after three terms of what Mr Correa and his administration dubbed "21st-Century socialism".
On Sunday, when it first emerged he looked likely to lose, Mr Lasso called for people to "peacefully defend their votes".
It resulted in hundreds of Mr Lasso's supporters gathering in front of the electoral commission offices shouting "No to fraud".
The Organization of American States, which acted as an observer during the election, said it had seen "no discrepancies" between polling station and official results.
Mr Lasso has until 12 April to challenge the result officially, the electoral council said.
More than 10,000 people have been evacuated, according to officials.
Hundreds of firefighters have been tackling the blazes.
But British tourists in the area have told the BBC that a change in the wind direction has seen flames continue to spread. Many are now anxiously waiting for further instructions.
Rob Huckle, 18, is on holiday with his family in Port de Bormes, east of Toulon.
"It's really taking a nasty turn now," he told the BBC.
"It kind of died down in the morning, but the wind has changed direction so [the fire has] blown onto new areas of unburned forest."
Mr Huckle, who lives close to Cambridge, said the fire was now as big as he had seen it.
From the apartment where he is staying he saw "thousands" of people being evacuated throughout the night.
"The apartment we're in looks out on to Camp du Domaine," he said.
"People were evacuated from there and from the hillside.
"There were thousands of people on the beach."
Among those evacuated from the Camp du Domaine campsite was Lisa Minot, a travel editor at the Sun newspaper.
She told the BBC: "At 01:00 (local time), what we could see was the orange burning on the horizon, and by 02:00 the campsite decided they had to evacuate us.
"The children… were being pulled down onto the beach by their parents.
"We have a pitch that is right on the beach so we were there and we took in as many of these families as we could, with very young children.
"They are very tired and very, very upset kids now."
Chris Wright is also holidaying in the Camp du Domaine campsite.
"We were asleep last night and there was a knock on the door," he told the BBC.
"A friend said, 'I don't want to worry you, but you might have to pack a bag to evacuate.'
"We couldn't see anything at first, but as we walked to reception we could see the flames.
"There must have been a thousand people on the beach."
John Grant, on holiday near Bormes-les-Mimosas, told the BBC the night sky was lit up "like Dante's inferno".
"It was scary," he said.
"We are regulars to the area and are used to the odd fire but this was certainly larger than anything we had seen previously."
Writing on Instagram on Wednesday, Ms Minot said that some tourists were uncertain as to their next movements.
"[The] fire is getting fierce," she said. "We are packed but don't know what to do."
Catherine Prentis, on holiday with her children, was evacuated from the campsite for a second time on Wednesday.
"They're telling us on the Camp du Domaine website to stay away," she said.
"The last update we had was that the flames were near the gates of the site.
"We don't know what to do. Our campsite is about a mile away from where we are now.
"People here are windsurfing, swimming, having fun - but if you look behind you, there's a cloud of smoke covering the campsite."
She said planes collecting water to fight the fires were "having to dodge the windsurfers".
"They've not really realised the carnage that's going on."

The team manager was speaking as she added midfielders Chloe Arthur and Joelle Murray, plus defender Vaila Barsley, to her warm-up party.
Arsenal 26-year-old Little misses out with a cruciate ligament injury.
"Losing a player like Kim is obviously upsetting for the team," said Signeul. "We are devastated for Kim."
Signeul had hoped to add the midfielder to her squad as the Scots host Romania at Falkirk Stadium on 9 June before travelling to take on Sweden on 13 June as they prepare for this summer's finals in Netherlands.
But Little, who has 117 caps and had been suffering from a niggling injury, picked up a cruciate ligament problem during training with her club.
Signeul said it was a blow for the midfielder to suffer such an injury "at such a bad time" but urged her to now target helping Scotland to the 2019 World Cup finals in France.
"We wish her well in her recovery and hope to see her back in a Scotland jersey soon," said the Scotland boss.
"The important thing for Kim now is to concentrate on returning to full fitness.
"She is young and will have the chance to represent Scotland at other major championships in the future.
"But we will continue to focus on our preparations for the Euros as planned to ensure that we make the nation proud."
Hibernian 30-year-old Murray has returned to fitness after missing the recent friendly defeat by Belgium, while Bristol City 22-year-old Arthur also missed that game.
Barsley, the English-born 29-year-old who plays for Eskilstuna United in the Swedish top flight, made her debut in that 5-0 loss in Belgium.
"Vaila did very well in her debut against Belgium last month and we want to give her another opportunity to stake her claim for a place in the squad for the Euros," added Signeul.
"We are very happy to have Joelle return to fitness after missing the last match, while Chloe has done very well for Bristol during the spring and we are excited to have her in the squad."
Goalkeepers: Gemma Fay (Stjarnan), Lee Alexander (Glasgow City), Shannon Lynn (Vittsjo)
Defenders: Vaila Barsley (Eskilstuna United), Jennifer Beattie (Manchester City), Frankie Brown (Bristol City), Rachel Corsie (Seattle Reign), Ifeoma Dieke (Vittsjo), Kirsty Smith (Hibernian), Rachel McLauchlan (Hibernian)
Midfielders: Chloe Arthur (Bristol City), Leanne Crichton (Glasgow City), Erin Cuthbert (Chelsea), Lisa Evans (Bayern Munich), Hayley Lauder (Glasgow City), Joanne Love (Glasgow City), Joelle Murray (Hibernian), Leanne Ross (Glasgow City), Caroline Weir (Liverpool)
Forwards: Fiona Brown (Eskilstuna United), Lana Clelland (Tavagnacco), Christie Murray (Doncaster Rovers Belles), Jane Ross (Manchester City)
Hudson, 35, will become a full-time member of head coach David Wagner's technical staff after calling time on his 15-year playing career.
The centre-back, who is studying for a Uefa 'A' coaching licence, made 109 appearances for the Yorkshire side.
"The qualities that Mark has as a person and a footballer should make him an excellent coach," Wagner said.
Hudson will "support the preparations and training" for Huddersfield's maiden Premier League season, which begins against Crystal Palace on Saturday, before the club confirms his exact role.
Hudson began his career at Fulham and had spells at Palace, Charlton and Cardiff before joining Huddersfield in 2014.
The Terriers' play-off triumph in May secured a third promotion to the top flight for Hudson, who also went up with Palace and Cardiff.
Eamonn Ferguson, 35, was found dead in a flat at Ardoyne Place in March 2014.
Louis Maguire, 28, formerly of Ardoyne Place, was given a minimum term of 17 years for the "unprovoked" attack.
A second man, Christopher Power of no fixed address, had been convicted of assisting an offender. He was released due to time already served in prison.
Following the sentencing, police released a recording of a 999 call which Maguire made after carrying out the murder, in which he claimed to police that he had returned home and found Mr Ferguson badly injured in his house.
Maguire told the 999 call handler there was a lot of blood and can be heard asking Power to check if Mr Ferguson was dead.
Before the murder, Mr Ferguson went to a flat in north Belfast with Maguire and Power. They had all been drinking heavily.
There, the victim was subjected to a brutal attack - the court heard he was beaten up to 20 times with a claw hammer.
Maguire and Power were both originally charged with the murder and blamed each other during the trial.
However, a jury found Maguire alone responsible for carrying out the murder, while Power was convicted of assisting an offender.
Sentencing the pair, the judge said the violent attack appeared to be completely unprovoked.
He outlined to the court that Maguire had a poor upbringing and that his father was currently serving a life sentence for murder.
But he concluded that with 64 previous convictions, including violent offences, Maguire had been given many chances to change.
Quoting the poet Philip Larkin, the judge said: "Man hands on misery to man."
Power was told by the judge that his participation in an "elaborate charade" to try to cover up the murder and his persistent lying to police meant he deserved every day he had spent in prison.
However, he decided the tariff he would impose would be covered by the time he had already served.
In a statement to the court, the victim's mother, Mrs Pat Ferguson, said: "Eamonn was a loving son, brother and uncle. He had worked as a painter and decorator and liked to play the guitar.
"He was intelligent and enjoyed reading. He loved to laugh and to make people laugh. Now, there is not a minute of the day when I don't think of him.
"His death has impacted on every part of our family's lives, lives which have been turned upside down, never to be the same again," she said.
The officer who led the investigation, Det Ch Insp Justyn Galloway said: "I want to pay tribute to the Ferguson family who have shown great dignity over the past almost three years and during the harrowing evidence at last month's trial.
"I also want to acknowledge the local community in Ardoyne for the assistance they provided in working with the Major Investigation Team dealing with Eamonn's murder.
"People came forward, whether they were neighbours, friends or associates of Eamonn, and helped us. They told us what they knew, helping us to build a case and gave evidence.
"These convictions are an example of what can be achieved in the criminal justice system when communities and police work in partnership."
The ruling that the application be dismissed means that rhino horns can effectively be traded in the country.
Rhino breeders argue that legalising the trade could cut the number of rhinos slaughtered as horns can be sawn off anaesthetised live animals.
However many conservationists disagree with the proposed policy.
The department of environmental affairs said authorities were still considering the implications of Wednesday's judgment.
"It is important to note that permits are required to sell or buy rhino horn," the department's spokesman, Albie Modise, said in a statement.
The ruling only applies to the industry in South Africa as a ban on international trade remains in force.
Rhino breeders who have argued that open trade is the only way to prevent widespread slaughter of the animal welcomed the ruling.
"We are absolutely delighted at the ruling by the constitutional court," Pelham Jones, chairman of the Private Rhino Owners Association (PROA), told AFP news agency.
Breeders also argue that the process is not permanent as the horns grow back.
The Helping Rhinos organisation however tweeted that the ruling was "disastrous".
South Africa is thought to be home to around 20,000 rhinos, around 80% of the worldwide population. More than 1,000 rhino were killed by poachers in South Africa in 2016.
International rights groups have said hundreds of people lost their lives in clashes between police and protesters.
The report praised security forces for showing restraint in some instances and blamed diaspora groups for the trouble.
Last year, the government imposed a state of emergency in response.
Activists from the Amhara and Oromia regions had been complaining about political and economic marginalisation.
The Southern Nations and Nationalities Peoples Region also experienced some of the violent demonstrations.
The report listed land rights, corruption, unemployment and bad governance as reasons for the widespread protests.
It blames the diaspora-based Oromo Media Network, and satellite TV channel, ESAT, for inciting the violence witnessed in August and October 2016, when hundreds were reportedly killed.
The report praises security forces for showing restraint during a traditional celebration on 2 October last year when dozens died following a stampede.
It however recommends prosecution of some individual police officers for their actions, the following day, when dozens are believed to have been shot dead.
Earlier, Ethiopia's Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn had for the first time rejected calls by the UN and EU for independent investigations into the deaths saying the country was able to carry out the investigations itself.
Mr Hailemariam told the BBC's Emmanuel Igunza that an investigation by the Human Rights Commission, a body created by the constitution, was the only way of dealing with the issue.
In the past, the government has disputed figures by international rights organisations saying that the security forces were responding to what were described as "anti-peace forces".
He said that the commission was an independent institution but admitted that it "lacked capacity" and said that it could be strengthened.
He added that Ethiopia's sovereignty should be respected and rejected the call for external investigations.
Zeid Raad Al Hussein, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, last year called for international observers to investigate the killings after accusing security forces of using live ammunition against protesters in the Amhara and Oromia regions.
A call that was reiterated by the EU in October and repeated last week.
Flashpoints in Ethiopia protests:
The prime minister also defended the state of emergency, imposed in October last year, saying it has brought "normalcy" to the country.
He said the recent four-month extension of the emergency law by parliament was "necessary to consolidate some of the gains that the state had achieved in instituting reforms".
Mr Hailemariam said that the government has been focussing on solving the unemployment issue, especially among the youth, which he admitted had "brought resentment".
He said that the thousands who were arrested in a nationwide crackdown were still being held in prison and will have to go though the judicial process.
A small number of the firm's servers failed to handle the added second properly making them return errors.
The problem meant that the sites of some of its customers were hard to reach in the early hours of 2017.
The second was added to compensate for a slowdown in the earth's rotation and helps to co-ordinate time-keeping among nations that use GMT.
In a statement, Cloudflare said that its engineers had fixed the problem within 90 minutes of it affecting its servers.
Anyone falling victim would have got an error message saying servers could not be reached rather than seeing the page they wanted to visit.
Content delivery firm Cloudflare acts as a go-between for websites aiming to speed up access to a site as well as stopping malicious traffic and attacks reaching that destination.
It said that the problem affected about 1% of the requests its servers processed during the glitch period.
A detailed analysis of why the bug emerged found that it was triggered by a mismatch between the time-stamps Cloudflare servers were expecting and the ones they actually got from the separate systems that keep time on the wider net.
This caused an internal system to "panic" the firm wrote, causing the server errors.
Most of the dead suffocated in thick toxic smoke after the man set fire to casino tables, officials said, but most of the eyewitness accounts describe the events before the fire and its aftermath.
Bodies found after Manila casino attack
Videos on social media showed people fleeing as several loud shots or explosions were heard.
People at the scene said they had seen an armed man with his face covered. Patrons at the casino tried to hide or escape the resort building in any way possible.
One eyewitness recounts there was a sudden commotion with people suddenly running towards his group.
"We were a few metres away from the gunman. He was indiscriminately firing upwards but he was not shooting anyone," he said in a video posted by a local reporter on Twitter.
He described gunman as "wearing a vest", adding that he couldn't determine what rifle the man was using.
The first tweets from the resort itself describe the chaos at the scene with "people running and screaming".
Shortly afterwards, the same Twitter user posted that "vehicles are now prohibited to enter @rwmanila premises" and described how "scary" it was.
Most people at the scene and seeing the smoke over the hotel complex for a long time were not sure about what had happened, speculating about a possible terror attack.
According to the Reuters news agency, a casino employee told DZMM radio that he heard several gunshots and saw people running up the stairs from the second floor.
A maintenance worker from the casino told the same station that he saw a woman fall from an upper floor while trying to escape. "Several people were injured," he said.
Local media have cited witnesses saying they hid in a VIP room on the second floor of the casino.
Others reportedly broke a window and used a curtain to climb down from the second floor of the building.
The victims are a British man and a Canadian and an American woman, said the Costa Rican authorities
The catamaran was taking tourists to the Tortuga Island, on the country's Pacific Coast, when it was hit by strong winds and powerful waves.
Survivors said they were given lifejackets shortly before the boat sank.
"We were floating in the ocean. Many people were crying, screaming, asking for help," an unidentified woman told local television.
The Pura Vida Princess was carrying 99 tourists and 10 crew when it sank some 15km (nine miles) offshore.
The accident happened around 09:00 local time (15:00 GMT).
"The captain started to turn the wheel to the left. There were pretty heavy seas and we started to take water on, apparently on the right side," said Todd Olson, a tourist from the American state of Kansas.
"Within a minute it was flipped. Very fast, shocking," he added.
Vice-President Ana Helena Chacon said 106 people had been rescued. She praised the work of the lifeguards, security ministry and the Red Cross.
Earlier reports said two tourists were missing, but Ms Chacon said all the passengers and crew, with the exception of the three casualties, had been accounted for.
"It's a sad day for our country, that receives so many tourists," she said.
The British Foreign Office said it a statement: "We are aware of an incident on a boat off the coast of Costa Rica involving British nationals. We are in close contact with local authorities and are providing consular assistance."
The Central American nation is considered one of the safest and most popular tourist destinations in Latin America.
Some 2.4 million foreign tourists - most of them from the US - visited the country in 2013, according to Costa Rica's Tourism Board.

The network has said that separate awards for best actor and actress will be replaced by "non-gendered" prizes.
This means female actors like Emma Watson from Disney's Beauty and the beast will now be competing with male actors like Hugh Jackman from Marvel's Logan, for the best actor award.
At the moment most big award ceremonies, like the Oscars and Baftas, still have separate categories for men and women.
But some ceremonies like the Grammys have never had separate awards.
Many people believe that men and women should be treated equally so there should be no need to separate the genders.
Some people also believe that people shouldn't be defined by their gender and should get to choose which one they identify with.
The company's chief executive, Herbert Hainer, said: "We will bring production back to where the main markets are."
Adidas hopes the changes will help it to make new products available more quickly, as well as increasing net income by 15% a year by 2020.
The firm is keen to stop rival Nike eating into its market share.
It said it was testing automated production units that would speed up manufacturing and allow customers to personalise their purchases.
However, the plan failed to make a huge impression on investors. Adidas shares traded slightly higher in Frankfurt.
As part of the strategic business plan, called Creating the New, the company will invest in talent and marketing in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Shanghai and Tokyo.
The company's executive board member in charge of global sales, Roland Auschel, said: "Global brands are created in global cities. If we win running in New York and Los Angeles, we will win running in the US."
One marketing expert called the shift to strategic cities a sensible move. "Those areas are important because they are opinion leaders," said Vince Mitchell, professor of marketing at Cass Business School.
Mr Mitchell added that swift production speed was the secret to the success of such High Street retailers as Zara.
Adidas is trying to gain market share and rebound from a previous business plan that did not achieve its goals.
In a blog on the company's website, Mr Hainer wrote: "We had to accept in late 2014 that we'd not met all our financial ambitions which we'd set ourselves in the light of the strategic business plan Route 2015 five years ago."
The Hong Kong-born, Australia-bred batsman missed two months of the 2015 season with a dislocated shoulder when diving to stop a ball in the outfield.
But Sunday's 85 off 57 balls in Dubai against the West Indies showed class.
"It was a mature innings. Sam batted really well," said boss Dougie Brown.
"Very measured. As measured as you can be in Twenty20. He showed what he can do, but we're not getting carried away because we already know he is a talent.
"Without the shoulder injury which affected his throwing, he would have played some form of white-ball cricket for us last season."
Fellow batsman Laurie Evans, who captained the Bears for Sunday's second of two T20 friendlies with the Windies, added: "Sam Hain batted really well against a high-quality bowling attack.
"It was the sort of pitch where it was difficult getting in and he stayed there when we lost a few wickets and gave us something to bowl at."
The Bears lost the game by three wickets at the International Stadium, on the back of Friday's 13-run defeat in the first game.
After making 823 first-class runs in 12 matches at 51.43 as a teenager in 2014, even breaking Ian Bell's record as the youngest Bears centurion, he scored 547 in 10 matches at 36.46 last summer.
Now he is fit again, England-qualified Hain will again be coming back onto the radar of James Whitaker and his fellow Test selectors. But Bears director of cricket Brown says that he is not the only youngster to have impressed in the Persian Gulf,
"Sam is just one of a lot of guys pushing for places on the evidence of the two games against West Indies," added Brown. "Ateeq Javid and Josh Poysden bowled superbly against high-class batsman coming hard at them.
"In both games our fielding was outstanding and in all departments our skill levels were exceptional at times. Games like these against international opposition can be very one-sided but that was far from the case. We pushed them close both times. In those sort of games it is about much more than the result,
"It's about players getting opportunities and there were a lot of positives in there. We have got a lot of healthy competition for places and I'm sure that will only increase because the start of the T20 season in England is still quite a way away."
Warwickshire's next assignment on their tour to the Persian Gulf is to travel to Sharjah to train ahead of a two-day meeting with Midlands rivals Worcestershire on Saturday and Sunday at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
America is Northern Ireland's number one overseas investor, with its firms employing about 23,000 people in NI.
Mr Hamilton said he is "not concerned at all" about future US investment and jobs.
During his campaign, Mr Trump pledged protectionist trade arrangements and to cut the US corporation tax rate.
Northern Ireland is reducing its rate to 12.5% from 2018 to attract more overseas companies, including from America.
"I think the US will continue to be a great, close friend," Mr Hamilton said.
"They have been a great supporter of our economic progress down the years and I am absolutely sure Mr Trump will want to continue that."
Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire also believed the outlook was "positive."
He said: "When I was in Washington in September a number of US companies underlined their continued commitment to Northern Ireland.
"We want to see that flourish and grow."
There are 185 US firms in Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland exports £1.5bn worth of goods to America a year, according to figures from HM Revenue and Customs.
Australia powered into the World Cup final with a 95-run victory over defending champions India in Sydney on Thursday.
Kohli, who is the team's vice captain, went out after making just one run.
Indians follow cricket passionately and millions of fans were disappointed by his poor show.
As India's chase hit roadblocks and it became clear that India was losing to Australia, many fans started to vent their anger on Twitter and some began to target Sharma, who was present in the stadium, watching the match.
But this anger was met with strong resistance from others on Twitter who felt it was wrong to blame the actress for Kohli's "poor performance".
Tweets supporting the duo soon outnumbered those who made jokes about Sharma's presence in the stadium.
Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor, tennis star Sania Mirza, senior journalists and other users came to the defence of the couple.
Former Indian cricket captain Saurav Ganguly also criticised those who blamed the actress for the team's defeat.
"What wrong Anushka has done? She had only gone to see a cricket match like the families of other players. It is unfair to blame her for Kohli's performance. It is the immaturity of people," he told The Indian Express.
Newspapers and websites have also published reports, criticising the "irrational behaviour by Indian fans".
"Such extreme reactions only go on to show the misogynist character of Indian society where a woman is blamed for anything and everything that goes wrong with the man. Anushka just like millions of other Indians is a fan of cricket and her boyfriend is a star batsman in Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team," writes Senha Thakur on the CNN-IBN website.
In an interview with the NDTV earlier in the month, Sharma had said "it's primitive to call me his distraction and blame me for his performance".
Meanwhile, leading news channel Times Now and its editor Arnab Goswami are also being criticised for their harsh review of India's performance.
The channel ran its shows with headlines like "Team India mess it up", "Team India #ShamedinSydeny, and "India disgraced in Sydney".
Some Twitter users criticised the channel for being "sensational" and tweeted with their own hashtag #ShameonTimesNow.

Texan student Amber Vanhecke, 24, told US broadcaster ABC she had been stranded for five days in a remote part of Arizona.
She was visiting the area to hike and got lost when her car ran out of fuel.
When a rescue helicopter spotted her abandoned car last Friday, they found a note inside saying she had gone to try and get a mobile phone signal.
Shortly afterwards she was seen "frantically waving" to get their attention.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) said in a statement that she had alerted them with an emergency call but the line had dropped before her location was confirmed.
She was treated at the scene for exposure and then transported to hospital.
A DPS paramedic described the woman as "smart and prepared".
"She had food and water in her vehicle for the trip," Edgar Bissonette told CBS. "Even though she was down to her last bit of water, it kept her going. When she left the vehicle, she left notes so we knew where to find her. She did everything right."
The roots of the game date back to 1823 and are widely attributed to William Webb Ellis, a pupil at Rugby School.
MP Mark Pawsey said this year's world cup offered a "great opportunity" for the local economy and a chance to celebrate the town's role in the game.
He said hotels, restaurants and bars could all benefit.
A fan zone is being set up in the town, showing world cup matches.
The council is also backing a festival and investing in cultural events taking place alongside the tournament.
Councillor Heather Timms, responsible for economy on Rugby Borough Council, said the authority was investing almost £1m in the town.
She said it was part of a £5m investment to make sure Rugby was ready to welcome fans of the game.
Mrs Timms said it was also important local children learned about the town's role in developing the sport.
The Webb Ellis trophy visited Rugby as part of a nationwide tour ahead of the tournament's start on 18 September.
Prospects Academies Trust said in May it would fold once it had found new sponsors for its six academies.
The Department of Education (DfE) said it had now chosen the Wiltshire-based Malmesbury Trust to take over The Dean Academy in Lydney.
The trust has one school left to offload - Gloucester Academy.
In a letter to parents, The Dean Academy's principal David Gaston wrote that Malmesbury School was "outstanding" and has training school status "which means that they are equipped to provide support for staff development".
He stressed there would no changes to The Dean Academy name, the school uniform or the staffing structure.
As for Gloucester Academy, the DfE said it was continuing to work to appoint a suitable sponsor, although a National Union of Teachers (NUT) representative locally said he understood a new sponsor had been found and was in the process of applying for approval.
John Pemberthy, NUT National Executive member and Gloucestershire division secretary, said: "I am pleased for the sake of the students and staff of these schools that they will hopefully feel a greater sense of security from these new arrangements, but the history of sponsored academies in Gloucestershire, which I have opposed from the start, is not a happy one.
"Prospects, E-Act and AET have all taken on schools in the county but have failed to show any benefits in exchange for the top-slicing of the school budgets.
"The NUT believes that many of these academies would be better off returning to local authority control."
Deals to re-broker Prospects' other four academies - three of which were in Devon and one in East Sussex - were arranged by 1 December.

Foley, 42, was found dead in his Paris hotel room on Sunday morning, hours before Munster's scheduled Champions Cup match against Racing 92.
"Talking to a lot people who know him better, he would never want us to say the game is secondary," said Munster director of rugby Rassie Erasmus, who added the decision was "not easy".
"We don't want to miss this opportunity for him. It has been quite overwhelming and a testament to Axel himself that we are hearing from all over the world."

Post-mortem tests in France revealed Foley died of a build-up of fluid in the lungs caused by a heart condition.
Munster players, staff and fans staged an emotional homecoming for the former Ireland star on Wednesday evening after his remains were flown to Shannon Airport from France.
Those present as the cortege passed Thomond Park applauded and burst into song as the hearse made a slow journey to Foley's home town of Killaloe, where he will be laid to rest on Friday.
Ulster director of rugby Les Kiss said Ireland captain Rory Best and a number of other players and officials from the province will attend the funeral "to honour a man, and to pay respects to the family of Axel".
Foley, whose father Brendan also played for Munster and Ireland, represented the Irish province on 201 occasions and captained them to their first European Cup triumph in 2006.
The number eight also won 62 Ireland caps and skippered his country on three occasions.
After joining Munster's coaching staff following his retirement in 2008, Foley became the Irish province's forwards coach in 2011 - a role he briefly undertook with Ireland during the 2012 Six Nations - before graduating to head coach in 2014 after the departure of Rob Penney.
Munster appointed South African Erasmus as the club's director of rugby in July, but Foley's job title remained head coach.
Speaking alongside Erasmus, Munster captain Peter O'Mahony broke down as he described Foley's contribution to the club as "incalculable".
"I'm not going to do him justice here. Personally, he meant a huge amount," said the Ireland international.
"I haven't supported a Munster team that he wasn't involved in. The amount he's given the club, it can't be calculated."
O'Mahony recalled Foley being as happy with the narrow win in his first game as a 60-point victory.
"He was a man that wanted a Munster jersey win," he said.
Sunday's scheduled match in Paris was postponed following Foley's death. | More than 50 conservation groups say the "policy-driven" intensification of farming is a significant driver of nature loss in the UK.

O'Flynn rifled a low drive into the bottom corner from 20 yards out in the 12th minute and volleyed the ball home from 10 yards seven minutes later.
Kevin Bradley scored his first goal for Ards when his long cross went straight into the net after 34 minutes.
Curtis Allen grabbed the third by tapping in from close range late on.
Allen, who had laid the ball off for O'Flynn's opener, rammed home after Aaron Harmon's initial low shot had been parried by Aaron Hogg.
O'Flynn met Chris Lavery's cross for his second of the night but a mix-up in communications between defender Calum Birney and goalkeeper Elliott Morris allowed Bradley to pull one back before the break.
Carl McComb hit the woodwork with a free-kick in the first half and Morris denied Gareth Tommons with a good save.

"But we switched off and didn't take responsibility for a ball into the area and at half-time it's a totally different game. Our back four dealt with everything in the second half and in the end it was a professional job.
"Stephen O'Flynn is a class act but has struggled badly with injury. He came up with the goods tonight and showed what he is about. He is quality, has two good feet, strength and he's a leader too."
Ards manager Colin Nixon: "I'm very disappointed. We conceded a couple of bad goals, then rallied a little and got a lucky goal to get back into it.
"The second half was a non-event and we huffed and puffed a bit, but I thought we deserved to get beaten to be honest.
"We are conceding bad goals and that is why we are in the trouble we are in."

He was last captured on CCTV leaving the Criterion public house in the city in the early hours of 11 July.

He added that the search continues "unabated" and officers "are continuing to fully investigate all lines of enquiry".
Previously DJ Derek's great niece, Jennifer Griffiths, said she was losing hope of finding him alive.
He is described as a white male, of average height, of slim build with grey hair. He also wears glasses.
DJ Derek is known to thousands of people and has played hundreds of sets at local clubs and pubs, as well as at the Glastonbury festival.

Mr Bo, the ex-Communist Party leader in the city of Chongqing, is accused of abuse of power and corruption.
His wife, Gu Kailai, was given a suspended death sentence in August for murdering UK national Neil Heywood.
The scandal has overshadowed the party congress that will oversee China's change of leadership. It will begin on 8 November, state media have announced.
The BBC's Martin Patience, in Beijing, says the Bo Xilai announcement ends months of speculation over the fate of a man who was once one of China's most powerful politicians.
Our correspondent says it is clear China's leaders wanted to try to end the damaging revelations, with the once-in-a-decade leadership change looming.
He says Mr Bo's career is over and he will almost certainly spend time in jail.
By Martin PatienceBBC News, Beijing
After months of speculation, this announcement seals the fate of the once-powerful Bo Xilai.
China's leaders have chosen to bury him by demolishing his career over the last 20 years. But that runs the risk of raising awkward questions about why Mr Bo kept getting promoted - and why the party had so little apparent oversight.
The timing of this announcement is also significant. Just minutes before the Bo bombshell, China's state-run news agency Xinhua announced the date of the 18th Party Congress. At the congress, China's once-in-a-decade leadership transition will begin.
Before the scandal, Mr Bo had been expected to join the top rank of leaders. But now China's leaders want to try and end a scandal that has exposed murder, cover-up and corruption at the highest level of Chinese politics.
Mr Bo has not been seen in public since mid-March, shortly after the scandal erupted and it was announced he was under investigation. He was suspended from his party posts in April.
Reporting an official statement from a party leaders' meeting, the state news agency, Xinhua, said Mr Bo stood accused of corruption, abuse of power, bribe-taking and improper relations with women.
The statement carried by Xinhua said Mr Bo "took advantage of his office to seek profits for others and received huge bribes personally and through his family".
It added: "Bo's behaviour brought serious consequences, badly undermined the reputation of the party and the country, created very negative impact at home and abroad and significantly damaged the cause of the party and people."
The statement urged "party organisations at all levels" to take heed of the "negative example" of the Bo Xilai case.
Xinhua said the violations included Mr Bo's time as an official in Dalian and Liaoning provinces, and as minister of commerce.
"Bo had affairs and maintained improper sexual relationships with a number of women," the statement added.
Xinhua said Mr Bo had been expelled from the party and the elite decision-making Politburo and Central Committee as he had "abused his power, made severe mistakes and bore major responsibility in the Wang Lijun incident and the intentional homicide case of [Gu Kailai]".
Wang Lijun was Chongqing's former police chief who was sentenced to 15 years in jail for ''bending the law, defection, abuse of power and bribetaking" in the Neil Heywood case.
Chinese social media reaction
The severity of the accusations against Mr Bo surprised some observers, who had thought he might escape criminal prosecution.
"The party is very anxious to settle this contentious issue before the opening of the party congress," Prof Willy Lam of the Chinese University of Hong Kong told the Associated Press.
"So I think even though there are still powerful supporters and patrons of Bo Xilai, they have agreed to this stiff penalty to be meted out against Bo. And having settled this contentious issue, the party leadership is in a position to start the party congress with a facade of unity."
There had been no formal word on the congress date until now, but many observers expected it in October. Prof Lam suggested that any delay had been because of "intensive competition among the various factions".
There was speedy reaction to the latest news on China's social media sites.
Scandal timeline
Bo charges: Party statement
On Sina Weibo, Shenjing Jihua posted that Mr Bo had "finally met his end", adding: "So justice will prevail, and there is still hope for China."
Although there were some postings in support of Mr Bo, others broadened the affair into a critique of Chinese corruption.
Huaju Yanyuan on QQ.com said: "The case of Bo Xilai tells us that one overlooked event led to a series of troubles, and that there isn't any clean official in China."
The news came on the eve of a national holiday, raising suspicions the authorities wanted to bury the announcement, some observers note.
Xinhua also announced that the party congress, which will herald the change of China's leadership, will begin on 8 November.
The Bo Xilai scandal has been China's biggest in two decades and has cast a long shadow over the run-up to the congress, which is expected to see Xi Jinping replace Hu Jintao as president.
Mr Bo, 63, had been a prime candidate for a top post before the scandal broke.
It started when Wang Lijun fled to a US consulate in February, alleging that Gu Kailai had poisoned Neil Heywood to death in November 2011.
Gu was convicted of killing Mr Heywood after a multi-million dollar business deal turned sour. Mr Bo's supporters have claimed from the start that he is being framed by his political enemies, correspondents say.
There are still questions surrounding the scandal. On Thursday, one of China's top forensic scientists cast doubt on Gu's conviction, saying there was no evidence the Briton was poisoned with cyanide.
Before the gaming expo got going, experts and analysts said they expected VR to feature heavily and for there to be demos of pioneering games that made great use of the technology. Those demos would be essential, they said, to convince people to buy what is likely to be an expensive chunk of hardware.
But it did not turn out like that.
In fact, VR hardly featured at all during the big news conferences. Sony talked about Project Morpheus for a couple of minutes during a presentation that lasted an hour.
There were passing mentions in other press events but VR was conspicuous by its absence. While it is true that some VR announcements came just before E3 got under way, there was little from the big game publishers and studios to show what they were planning.
"VR failed to stand out during the press conferences," said Wesley Yin-Poole, deputy editor at Eurogamer. "I put this down to the tech being a tough sell on a big screen. VR is better understood when used, rather than seen."
The lack of mentions seems odd given that E3 is all about previews and preparing expectations for games many of which will be launched at the same time as those headsets are due to get in to the shops.
The one demo that did get people talking was Microsoft HoloLens system but that does not have a release date yet and is still firmly experimental.
So, where were those jaw-dropping videos that left people reaching for their wallets?
On the stands at E3, many firms were letting attendees try out demos and "experiences" to get a flavour of what the technology can do. Sony has 18 separate VR tasters on its booth and Microsoft's Halo Experience on its stand gives people a virtual guided tour of a dropship from the game but even these, said Mr Yin-Poole, do not convey its potential very well.
He said: "VR is a tough sell, and I haven't seen a VR game on the show floor that makes that issue all of a sudden go away."
"There are impressive demos that clearly benefit from the ever-improving hardware, but Oculus and Morpheus are still looking for their killer apps," he said.
Piers Harding-Rolls, head of games research at analysts IHS, has tried out lots of the demos at the show and said he had noticed a shift in what people got to see when they slipped on the headset.
"The content is becoming more robust and commercial as we move towards the launch of the major high-end headsets during the next 12 months or so," he told the BBC.
The debate had moved on from simply impressing people to more in-depth talk about what counts as good VR content, how to interact with it and what the take-up rate is going to be. There was less hype and more realism, he said.
And, he added, just because there were not many VR games on show at E3, that said little about what would eventually be released.
"The traditional big publishers are generally taking a wait-and-see attitude, although all are experimenting in-house," he said. "There is little benefit for them being first to market when there is a broad expectation that adoption of the technology will slowly ramp up over time."
In addition, he said, it was not straightforward to just transfer a flat-screen game to a VR setting. Games will work much better when made specifically for VR. Studios will take time to develop the skills needed to make good VR games.
"However, he added, "a lack of big-budget content may also apply a handbrake effect to adoption. In this respect first-party content will be important in establishing the market."
For some though, the reluctance of the publishers and the cost of developing for VR do not spell delay, they spell disaster.
"It's doomed. Sorry about that," wrote John Walker from PC games news site Rock, Paper, Shotgun. "There just won't be the games to make it worth owning one," he said.
Few publishers are going to be willing to put down huge amounts of cash to develop a version of a game that few people would play. The technical demands VR makes on PCs and consoles and the extra development required to make games work in all-round 3D will scare them off.
Given the audience, developers might try it, he said. But, so far, there is little evidence that people were signing up in large numbers.
"I believe the rule that people won't adopt a technology that's more inconvenient than what already exists will prevail, especially when there won't be the big-name games to encourage them to do so," he said. At the moment, flat screens have the edge and were likely to retain that advantage.
In addition, he said, the isolating effect of putting on a headset that literally cuts people off from those around them will put people off.
"Sadly, it's hopeless," he said. "No-one will acknowledge it when it happens of course - these things happen too slowly.
"Until it can work without a giant headset, making you look like a lost robot tourist, people will always prefer to sit at their screens."

Wing Fu Cheung - also known as Nelson Cheung - was stabbed to death after his car was forced off the road outside Randalstown in January 2015.
His wife Kam-Fung Cheung was also injured and robbed in the incident.
Appearing at Belfast Crown Court on Monday was 35-year-old Virgilio Augusto Fernando Correia.
Correia's barrister asked the clerk of the court to re-arraign his client on three charges arising from last January's incident.
They were: The murder of Mr Cheung; wounding his wife with intent to do her grievous bodily harm and robbing Mrs Cheung of a handbag containing an iPad, an iPhone and a purse containing £200 in cash plus two bank cards.
All three offences span a period between 6 and 9 January, 2015.
When each of the charges were put to Correia, he replied "guilty".
Correia, who at the time of his arrest was living at Grant Avenue in Randalstown, is the second man to admit murdering Mr Cheung.
Christopher David Menaul, 25, from Barra Street in Antrim, also pleaded guilty to the same three charges after appearing in court last month.
Two co-accused will be standing trial in the new year on other charges arising from the murder.
Following the plea, a judge ordered pre-sentence reports be compiled on Correia, who was remanded back into custody.
He will be sentenced at a later date.
Like many simple questions, the answer is not so straightforward.
There is no denying that there is nothing to celebrate in the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) figures and much to cause real concern.
For the first time since the tests began in 2000, Scotland was merely ranked as "average" in all three categories measured - reading, maths and science.
Once Scotland was classed as "above average" in all three.
For an advanced country which considers education to be a source of pride to be ranked like this should be a cause for concern.
The fact things would seem to be going the wrong way after a radical change - the introduction of Curriculum for Excellence and the shake up to qualifications - should make that concern greater.
The idea that Scotland's education system was once the envy of the world owes much to folklore.
There is no simple, objective way of saying how the quality of Scottish education in, say, the 1950s or 1980s compared to education in other parts of the UK or other advanced western countries.
Important as the Pisa figures are, they are not a definitive measure either and some consider them flawed. Most importantly they do not measure what the young people go on to do with their education.
It is interesting to reflect on how the day-to-day experiences of teenagers in schools today may compare with that of their parents.
Until the 1980s, the start of third year was a watershed moment for students.
The academically able usually began studying for eight O Grades. The presumption was they would then go on to study for four or five Highers in fifth year.
The most able would then spend sixth year studying for more Highers, improving the grades in subjects they did not do so well in or studying for a Certificate of Sixth Year Studies to help ease their path to university.
But for the less able the path was different.
A youngster who was not able to study for eight O Grades would fill their timetable with "non certificate" courses.
After the school leaving age was raised from 15 to 16 in the mid 70s, less able youngsters were faced with spending two years at school with little to show at the end. In some cases, this may have added to the risk of indiscipline as well as sheer boredom.
This concern led to the creation of Standard Grades - every youngster would get a Standard Grade for completing a course so S3 and S4 would no longer be a waste of time for the less academic. What mattered was the level of the achievement.
That ethos has been carried over into the new qualifications system. S4, S5 and S6 now form the "senior phase". The overwhelming majority of teenagers stay on until S6. S5 and S6 are no longer the preserve of the academically able. The emphasis is on what qualifications a youngster leaves school with - not what they have got at a particular stage.
At its best, this should mean all youngsters leave school with something of value. It would be unusual to leave with little or nothing - something which was widespread until the 1980s.
If a teenager is not in education, work or training now there is usually a back-story to explain this. At the other end of the spectrum, exam passes are at a record level and so is the number of young people at university.
In a more general sense, the ethos in many secondary schools has also changed. There is now much more of a concern for the development of the student as a person - how to nurture a successful, confident individual. Personal development was, on occasion, overlooked in secondary schools in the past with the focus more narrowly on academic performance.
The overall condition of school buildings is better than it was in the 1970s or 80s too.
While there are important issues concerning the quality of the construction of some new school buildings - for example in Edinburgh - at a superficial level the school estate across Scotland is in a better condition. Schools are more likely to be attractive, welcoming environments.
And industrial relations are better too. For all the very real concerns of teachers' unions - for example over workload associated with the new qualifications - the relationship between unions, the Scottish government and councils is generally respectful, friendly and constructive.
Compare that to the disruption caused by long-running teachers' disputes in the mid 70s and mid 80s.
And yet, and yet.
Another may be whether the good intent behind Curriculum for Excellence meant teachers were pulled in too many different directions and overlooked basics like numeracy and literacy - recently issued guidance re-emphasises their importance so no teacher can be left in doubt.
Questions over budgets and drops over the years in teacher numbers come to the fore as well. (While the number of teachers has fallen in recent years, councils now have to maintain the ratio of staff to students so cannot simply close posts or choose not to fill them.)
Meanwhile some parents remain to be convinced that the changes to qualifications have been for the better. If nothing else, if a youngster can only study for six qualifications in S4 (increasingly becoming the normal practice) it inevitably leads to a drop in the numbers studying some individual subjects.
The Pisa figures are not the last word but should provoke fresh debate on the Scottish school system. Why are these figures going the wrong way? Is the problem money? Poverty? Implementation? Guidance to teachers? About how schools are governed? Or more fundamental?
But they do not tell us anything about outcomes or the experience of young people.
So is the school system worse than it was? As a teenager might say on Facebook: "It's complicated..."
In Japan, the Nikkei 225 share index was up 0.32% at 20,183.85points.
EU leaders earlier warned Greeks that rejecting creditors' proposals in a snap referendum called for Sunday would mean leaving the euro.
Talks between Greece and its creditors broke down last week, leading to Greek banks having to shut this week.
Earlier, Standard & Poor's ratings agency downgraded Greece's credit rating one notch further into junk territory.
The agency also said there was a 50% chance Greece would exit the eurozone.
Greek Prime Minister, Alexis Tsipras, has defended his government's handling of the country's debt crisis however and said the result of Sunday's referendum on the latest bailout proposals would signal further negotiations.
In Australia, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 was down 0.17% at 5,413.20 after closing down more than 2% on Monday.
In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi was flat, up just 0.03% at 2,061.13 after suffering its biggest daily percentage fall since late May on Tuesday.
Official data out in South Korea on Tuesday showed that industrial output fell 1.3% in May compared to April. The May numbers mark the third consecutive monthly drop in manufacturing activity as the country continues to struggle with slower demand for its exports.
While some economists had predicted Asian markets would quickly recover from Monday's losses, others pointed to longer term concerns.
"It is not a default of Greek debt that is worrying the market, but the future of the euro," David Kuo of The Motley Fool in Singapore told the BBC.
"The Greece saga has exposed unwelcome fault lines in the euro - when you roll an olive in mud you get a muddy olive," he added.
However Mr Kuo said the "current mess" would eventually get cleared up. "It might take a while, but sooner or later it will get cleared up," he said.
"If central banks ever want to replace the lost billions from a Greek debt default, they could do so if they wanted.
"They just have to fire up the printing press and print more money, again.
"And that is worrying," he added.
On Monday, China saw another day of volatile trade, with the Shanghai Composite falling by more than 7% at one point before closing down 3.3% at 4,053.03.
The sharp fall came despite a surprise rate cut by the central bank on Saturday.
The 29-year-old took 6-17 in the second innings of the series-clinching third Test win over South Africa on Saturday.
The fast bowler climbs above India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and South Africa paceman Dale Steyn.
Steve Harmison, in 2004, was the last England bowler to top the ICC rankings, keeping top spot for 120 days.
Before that, Sir Ian Botham was ranked number one in 1980.
Listen to Jonathan Agnew and Michael Vaughan discuss Broad's six-wicket haul on BBC Radio 5 live.
Broad's new-ball partner James Anderson remains fifth, while Joe Root moves back up to second in the batting rankings after his first-innings century in Johannesburg.
Meanwhile, in the ICC Test Championship rankings, previous leaders South Africa will definitely surrender top spot to India, regardless of the result of the fourth Test against England at Centurion Park.
However, even if England win that match and seal a 3-0 series victory - their best result in South Africa for more than 100 years - they can not climb higher than their current fifth spot.
The team rankings will be updated at the end of the South Africa-England series.

In a word, no. At least not yet.
Yes, HSBC has confirmed it wasn't bluffing about moving 1,000 jobs to Paris. Yes, the chief executive of UBS has said it will "definitely" move up to 1,000 bankers. Yes, Goldman Sachs has slowed planned investment in London from New York.
So, Paris, Frankfurt and New York will all benefit from these firm commitments. But to describe the news of the last few days as an exodus is overdoing it.
Some 360,000 people in Greater London work in financial services, for the whole of the UK, that number rises to over a million. So far we have seen definite plans to move up to 2,000 jobs. A trickle, so far, rather than a flood.
Nevertheless, there are some big players out there who are weighing up more radical moves.
Goldman Sachs is contemplating moving thousands (reports of 3,000 were dismissed today as speculation) of staff back to the European centres whence they came to huddle under a consolidated London roof.
JP Morgan is considering moving 4,000 staff - maybe more, according to CEO Jamie Dimon - to Europe or the US.
In both these cases - it's clear neither would rather move anyone. If a satisfactory deal is done between the EU and the UK on access to European customers, they would be happy to stay.
Paris is on a major charm offensive. It is promising to waive France's famously rigid labour laws. Its mandated 35-hour working week and the difficulty of firing people means that it's hard to cut a high-cost base when volatile banking revenues slump.
I'm also told it's offering special corporate and income tax rate sweeteners to lure banks and their highly paid staff.
Axel Weber, the chairman of UBS, told me he was sceptical there was the political flexibility to enshrine those inducements in law. And, as another bank insider said, if it's political risk you want to avoid - why pick France?
The political risk point is an important one. France, Germany and probably Italy all have elections this year. It is very unlikely that UK negotiators will get full attention to their needs until they are out of the way.
That's why Axel Weber also predicted that we won't know the final arrangements till the 11th hour - meaning well into next year. Banks are spending big on contingency planning but are unlikely to pull the trigger until the fog clears.
In the meantime, London will continue to be Europe's financial centre.
As Jes Staley, the chief executive of Barclays told me this morning: "London will continue to be the financial lungs of Europe."
It's still possible a disorderly exit could cause pneumonia but, according to the boss of Barclays, London can breathe easy for now.
The Norwegians sit seventh in the Tippeligaen and Erling Moe has been in caretaker charge since Tor Ole Skullerud was sacked in August.
Solskjaer, 42, who had an 11-year spell at Old Trafford, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract.
He was Molde boss for three years before joining Cardiff City in 2014.
But he was sacked after only nine months in the job, with the Welsh club having been relegated from the Premier League and suffering a poor start to their season back in the Championship.
Solskjaer, capped 67 times for his country, had most recently been coaching youths at Clausenengen, the Norwegian club where he began his playing career.
He had a season as a player with Molde before his transfer to Manchester United in 1996, and returned to the club after a spell coaching the reserves at Old Trafford.
Now he will lead the reigning Norwegian champions against Celtic as compatriot Ronny Deila brings his side to Aker Stadion on Thursday for their first meeting in Europa League Group A.
Despite their indifferent domestic form, Molde are surprise leaders of the group, two points ahead of the Scottish champions, after a win over Fenerbahce and a draw with Ajax.
Liverpool-born Jean Alexander, who played the sharp-tongued Ogden from 1964 to 1987, died last week aged 90.
Andrew Lancel, who trod the Street's cobbles between 2010 to 2012, called for a statue to be erected of Ms Alexander in Southport, her home town.
Mr Lancel described her as "the most iconic soap character of all time".
He said the statue would be a fitting tribute and the "perfect way" to remember the "charming" actress.
"I'm very proud that I spent some time with Jean over the years in Southport - she was always charming and unassuming and lovely.
"There's been an incredible outpouring of love and affection. Let's celebrate a local lass who did wonderful things."
After leaving Coronation Street, Ms Alexander went on to star as shopkeeper Auntie Wainwright in BBC comedy Last of the Summer Wine for 22 years.
'NI Ed Camp' was set up after the Education Authority (EA) cancelled an annual training event due to a lack of funding.
It takes place at Stranmillis College but will be attended by teachers from across Northern Ireland.
It includes a range of courses, seminars and workshops in areas of primary and post-primary teaching.
The Regional Training Unit (RTU) summer school had been running for more than a decade, and was attended by around 2,000 teachers every August.
The summer school cost £50,000 to run in 2014, and was cancelled by the EA in June in response to budget pressures.
It was popular with teachers because they could get training without having to arrange cover for their classes.
In response to its cancellation, a group of teachers decided to set up their own training school.
Beverley Cripps from Ashfield Girls' School is one of the organisers, and she says that the RTU summer school was important to the profession.
"Teachers willingly used part of their summer holiday to improve their practice so they had something new and innovative to bring to pupils in the new school term," she said.
"We thought it was a shame that the summer school was cancelled, and we were determined to put something in its place so thousands of our pupils would not lose out.
"Teachers coming to NI Ed Camp are willing to give up their own time to make things better for their pupils."
Topics covered in the camp include classroom leadership, e-safety, helping pupils with dyslexia, using Minecraft in teaching, pastoral care and effective science teaching.
The EA is facing a cut in its budget from £405m in 2014/15 to £396.6m in 2015/16.
In addition, the RTU's budget was also cut by 25%, from £1.2m in 2014/15 to £893,000 for 2015/16.
Katie Bergin had been trying to track down her father Anthony Brown since her mother gave her pictures of them together when she was a baby.
She "found her needle in a haystack" 11,000 miles away in Australia after a plea for help on Facebook.
"Dad said it's like the moon and stars coming back to earth," said Ms Bergin.
The pair had both been trying to track each other down - but Ms Bergin's break came with a little help from one of the genealogist firms featured on the BBC programme Heir Hunters.
"It has been such an emotional time, it's been a whirlwind and I have never been more happy," said Ms Bergin, 51.
"The first time we spoke on the phone, we both just cried and cried. After 10 minutes I had to say 'I'll call you back' because I was so emotional.
"I bought a ticket to Australia ASAP and got here as soon as I could. I just wanted to hug him!"
Mr Brown, now 77, left Wrexham as a 17-year-old to join the armed forces.
He met Ms Bergin's mother Anne in 1964 as he worked at the Scarsdale Arms pub in Kensington, London.
Katie was born in 1965 after a brief relationship but Mr Brown only saw his daughter once, when he gave her a panda teddy bear.
"I've always wanted to track down Dad ever since Mum told me the story," Ms Bergin said.
"She gave me a few pictures of Dad, told me his name was Anthony Brown and was originally from Wrexham.
"I've spent my life searching phone books, calling random A Browns or latterly searching for A Browns on the internet but as you can imagine, A Brown is quite a popular name."
Ms Bergin, who grew up in London finally had a breakthrough in April.
A partner from one of the probate research firms which features on the BBC's Heir Hunters show saw her post on Facebook and offered to help.
"After a few weeks of work, he said he is probably overseas," Ms Bergin added.
"That was a huge blow as I thought my needle in a haystack search in the UK had just got much, much bigger! But somehow, he found a number for dad's sister-in-law, who lives in Shropshire.
"I called her and sent some photos and she said that's your dad - but he's in Australia! She gave me his number and I called. It was an amazing moment when I first heard his voice!"
Mr Brown emigrated to Australia in 1975 and became a car salesman. Now retired, he lives in Albury, New South Wales with his wife Marge.
"He had told Marge he had a long-lost daughter and his dream was to meet me," said Ms Bergin.
"He has suffered a heart attack and cancer but said he couldn't go until he met me.
"I took the panda he gave me as a kid with me to Australia and I'll be spending my 52nd birthday with him in June - my first with my dad."
The attack happened at about 23:20 BST on Saturday, on a disused railway near the junction of Tulip Street and Beza Road in Hunslet, West Yorkshire Police said.
Mark Wilkinson, of East Grange Court in Belle Isle appeared before magistrates in Leeds and was remanded in custody.
He is due to appear at Leeds Crown Court on 30 June.
The militant Islamist group has proclaimed the establishment of a wilayaat, or province, in Russia's mainly-Muslim North Caucasus, suggesting it may be gaining the upper hand in a battle for control over radical forces there.
The statement follows an anonymous audio message posted online pledging allegiance to IS on behalf of militants in four regions.
But it remains unclear how far - and high - that support may reach among militants previously loyal to the banned, al-Qaeda-affiliated group Caucasus Emirate, which has long sought to carve out an Islamist state in the region.
Caucasus Emirate's presumed head has made no comment. Meanwhile, analysts say most militants who have publicly switched support to IS are largely unknown figures.
Rooted in the Chechen separatist movement of the 1990s, Caucasus Emirate has committed numerous terror attacks against civilians, including the Moscow metro bombing of 2010 that killed dozens. But its insurgency has recently focused on Russia's security forces.
Some fear an upsurge in deadly attacks if the network does indeed affiliate itself with IS.
"I don't think they are planning just to separate off a piece of the North Caucasus for themselves, to create a territory controlled by their jihadists," Grigory Shvedov of the internet news agency Caucasus Knot believes.
"I think the plan would be to use the region for terror attacks in Russia, which would show their reach and put them 'on the map'," he adds.
It is perhaps that heightened danger, coupled with renewed IS gains in Syria, which prompted a rare phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Barack Obama on Thursday.
The White House says Islamic State was the top issue for discussion: the leaders' last call in February focused exclusively on the Ukraine crisis.
"Of course it is in our mutual interest to co-operate on this with the West, though we disagree on other issues," former Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov told the BBC.
"Modern security threats are international, we can't fight them alone," he added - a theme that Russian officials have begun to stress.
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has dismissed claims of an IS province in the region as "bluff", but also said the threat of the IS "virus" was not being ignored.
"We will destroy the devils and bandits without mercy," he pledged.
Whilst highly controversial, his tough methods have been relatively successful in suppressing the threat from the Caucasus Emirate in Chechnya - but the usual tactics could backfire badly with IS.
"I think a lot of rebels, especially the young, are very frustrated and would support a more radical response," believes Grigory Shvedov, and says that IS would back that.
Official estimates of how many Russian citizens have travelled to Syria and Iraq to join IS differ, though the most conservative count is more than 1,000.
Just this month, 13 potential recruits were returned to Moscow from the Syrian border, including a teenage female student.
On Thursday, Russia's Anti-Terrorism Committee said two people killed in Ingushetia were suspected of trying to recruit fighters for IS.
Asil Nadir is a 69-year-old Turkish Cypriot businessman who built up a hugely successful business empire in the UK in the 1980s.
He started out working in his father's clothing business in London's East End in the 1960s. Twenty years later his company Polly Peck was one of the UK's leading conglomerates, achieving one of the most spectacular share price rises anywhere in the world.
During this time, Mr Nadir was a high-profile figure in the City, a major donor to the Conservative party and in 1990 was listed 36th on the Sunday Times Rich List.
However, Polly Peck collapsed in 1990 with massive debts, following a Serious Fraud Office investigation into Mr Nadir's finances.
He fled the UK for his native Northern Cyprus in 1993 before he was due to face trial and lived there until August.
Profile: Asil Nadir
It is alleged that Mr Nadir secretly transferred £34m out of Polly Peck, which ultimately led to the company's collapse.
Following the SFO investigation he was charged with 66 counts of theft and false accounting.
He has always protested his innocence. In a 2003 interview with the BBC he said the accusations against him were "baseless" and alleged that the SFO abused its powers, making a fair trial impossible.
During a bail hearing in July this year it emerged that Mr Nadir was not actually on bail when he fled the country in 1993 and so was never technically "on the run".
In 1992 he had pleaded not guilty to the SFO's allegations but was allowed to leave the court without a judge deciding whether he should be bailed or remanded.
When Mr Nadir fled in 1993, a judge issued an arrest warrant for breach of bail.
However, the Old Bailey ruled that Mr Nadir had not breached his bail because it had never been granted in the first place.
The UK does not recognise Turkish-controlled northern Cyprus, so there is no extradition treaty in place.
Northern Cyprus was therefore a safe haven for Mr Nadir for 17 years.
His voluntary return to the UK in August prompted speculation as to his motives.
At the time, on a personal level, Mr Nadir told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he was "hoping that the environment at the moment is correct for this injustice to be put to bed".
Bail conditions negotiated by Mr Nadir's legal team - which meant he would not be placed in custody upon his return - were also thought to be an important factor in his decision.
Mr Nadir says he is hoping to be acquitted of the charges against him.
Others have suggested the return of a Conservative government to power may have had a bearing on Mr Nadir's decision, as may the increasing tendency of the Turkish Cypriot government to extradite suspected criminals.
Mr Nadir's bail surety of £250,000 was paid before his return to the UK.
On 3 September, he was remanded on bail at the Old Bailey at his first court appearance on fraud and theft charges.
His bail conditions included surrendering his passport, being prohibited from going near any airport and a curfew between midnight and 0600.
He was also fitted with an electronic tag and must report to the police once a week on a specified day.
His trial is not expected to take place until 2012 because of the complexity of the allegations.
Until then, as long as he sticks to his bail conditions, he can live in London.
Mr Nadir and his 26-year-old wife Nur are renting a £20,000-a-month house in Mayfair in the capital.
BBC legal affairs analyst Clive Coleman says: "In any complex fraud case there will be a substantial amount of paper-based evidence.
"However, evidence from witnesses can also be critical. Nearly 20 years on, there may be some witnesses who have died and others whose memories have faded.
"The Serious Fraud Office will be busy assessing the quality of the written and oral evidence, and there may end up being a different number of charges from the 66 originally brought."
During his time living in northern Cyprus Mr Nadir was not idle, building up new business interests in the country.
He is reported to have been running the Kibris Media Group, which publishes a daily newspaper in northern Cyprus and owns a TV and radio station there.
During his time away from UK he also married his current wife.
He had already been in office for six years - no mean feat in a country that went through seven presidents in the 10 years before Mr Correa was elected.
Mr Correa, 49, came to power making much of the fact that he was not a traditional politician, and while in office he has sought to overhaul Ecuador's political structure and boost social spending.
He has also defaulted on foreign loans and clashed with Washington on several issues.
Mr Correa is regarded as the strongest leader in decades to be at Ecuador's helm, and his approval ratings have remained consistently above 50%.
Much of his popularity can be attributed to the government's public spending, including on roads, bridges, schools and hospitals.
Cash transfers have boosted the incomes of the poorest Ecuadoreans, and poverty levels have dropped from some 38% in 2006 to 29% today, according to the World Bank.
Mr Correa, a US-trained economist, announced in December 2008 that Ecuador was officially defaulting on billions of dollars of foreign debt that it considered "illegitimate".
Ecuador, an Opec member, is heavily dependent on oil exports. Mr Correa has pushed for new contracts with foreign oil companies operating in the country, increasing the share of income that goes to the state. Critics warned that such moves could deter foreign investors.
Other high-profile decisions Mr Correa has taken include his refusal to renew the lease on airbases used by US forces to mount anti-narcotics missions.
In February 2009, Ecuador expelled two US diplomats, accusing them of meddling in the country's internal affairs - charges Washington rejected.
Mr Correa came to office promising constitutional reform and in September 2008 some 65% of Ecuadoreans voted in a referendum to approve a new constitution that brought sweeping changes.
Mr Correa's opponents accused him of seeking to override Ecuador's democratic institutions and amass too much power for himself.
President Correa has described the private media as his "greatest enemy" and a major obstacle to implementing reforms.
He often uses his weekly radio and TV shows as a platform to attack them. He also uses a law that requires the media to carry government messages as a way of directly confronting his critics.
In 2011, three executives and a former columnist from an opposition newspaper, El Universo were sentenced to jail terms and a massive fine for libelling President Correa. He subsequently pardoned them, saying his aim had been to fight the "dictatorship of the media".
In 2012, Reporters Without Borders highlighted the closure of some dozen broadcasting outlets that were critical of the government.
President Correa came to wider international notice after offering asylum to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who remains at the Ecuadorean embassy in London.
Mr Correa was born in 1963 in the city of Guayaquil.
He studied economics in that city's Catholic University and then went on to get two masters degrees - one in the US and the other in Belgium - and, in 2001, a PhD.
The father of three speaks fluent English and French and can also speak the indigenous Quechua language, which he learnt while doing voluntary work.
Mr Correa describes himself as "left-wing - not from the Marxist left, but rather a Christian left".
A group of Accies fans say they will stay away from the 4 February fixture as a protest against the team's current form and the club's signing policy.
Hamilton have not won any of their last 11 league games, and only two all season, and are a point off the bottom.
"Ideally you would like everyone behind you and supporting the team," he said.
"But that's obviously not the case on this occasion. All we can do as a group is continue to work hard and turn it around on the pitch and get winning games.

"We want to be higher up the league, no doubt, but if we stay in the Premiership again it would be a record.
"I think it would be the longest Hamilton have stayed in the Premiership consecutively in a long time so I don't think we're far away from breaking records if you like.
"So it's disappointing when you want everyone behind you to give us that little bit extra to try and get us across the line in some of these games. We would rather everybody was here doing that."
Accies spent three seasons in the top flight after gaining promotion in 2008, and after relegation in 2011, returned to the Premiership for the 2014-15 season.
Despite their lack of victories in the current campaign, Hamilton have only lost eight of their 21 Premiership games, with only three defeats coming by more than a single goal.
"It's such a tight competitive league," noted Canning, whose side ended their winless run with victory at Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup on Saturday. "But for two or three minutes of the season we would be sitting sixth.
"It's not been a case of losing games three, four or five-nothing and taking a lot of heavy defeats and beatings and we are really down in the dumps - I don't think that's the case.
"I think we have been very close on a number of occasions. With a little break and a little bit of luck at the right times, we could easily be four or five or six points better off and sitting mid-table."
Despite a relatively small fan base compared to other Premiership clubs, Canning believes Hamilton are doing all they can to maximise their potential.
"When you look at the size of the club, a lot of work goes in behind the scenes to try and generate as much money as we can to keep us competitive in the Premiership on the pitch," Canning explained.
"Everyone works so hard and - I know it is a phrase we probably use too often - but we punch above our weight in the Premiership and we need to continue to try and do that and work as hard as we can."
Hamilton will be without the suspended Michael Devlin and Massimo Donati for Saturday's Premiership match against St Johnstone in Perth.
Defender Canning may even reluctantly take a place on the bench himself, but his priority is strengthening the squad, with a vital home game against fellow strugglers Inverness next Tuesday, 31 January, before Kilmarnock's visit.
"Hopefully, we can get something done in the next day or two in the full-back positions and with the strikers we are speaking to," he added. "We're working hard on that and we'll have to wait to see if it comes off."
He said he had not spoken to Jeremy Corbyn since their bitter leadership contest, but had exchanged one text.
There are "lots of people" who could help form a frontbench team, he said.
He also dismissed PM Theresa May's "nasty party" jibe about Labour, calling her pitch for the centre ground of politics "synthetic".
He said Mrs May had used her end of conference speech to echo some of the arguments he made during the summer, including the need to borrow to invest in infrastructure, although he added: "I don't think she will do it."
In his first interview since Mr Corbyn defeated him as Labour leader last month, Mr Smith told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The truth is that politics is fought and won in the centre-ground and Labour needs to be a centre-left party and I don't think at the moment we're being perceived as that in the country - and that was the core argument I made throughout this summer."
Asked if he had been in contact with the Labour leader since they went head-to-head, he said: "I haven't spoken to Jeremy since, no, other than to congratulate him on what was obviously a very decisive win. I have exchanged one text with him and I'm sure I'll see him on Monday."
Pressed on whether he had reconsidered his position about not taking a shadow cabinet job, he insisted: "No... Given what I've said about where we have gone with Jeremy, and we're not making the inroads into the Tories and into the public popularity that we need to in order to form a Labour government and have a prosperous progressive government in this country, then I can't serve alongside him.
"I've always said that we're a movement of many, not just individuals, and there are lots of people who can serve on the front bench with distinction for the Labour party and I'm sure they will do that.
"I think it's now time for us to unite and get back to fighting the Tories and presenting a real, sincere version of the synthetic rhetoric-filled vision we heard from Theresa May yesterday."
'Heard it all before'
In her speech, Mrs May claimed the Conservatives would use the power of government to "restore fairness" in Britain and spread prosperity more widely.
She also said Labour was now seen as the "nasty party" and only the Tories would "stand up for the weak... up to the powerful".
While Mr Smith conceded that Labour members "have been nasty to each other a lot recently", he accused Mrs May of having served in a Cabinet "which has been nasty to the British public" with cuts to universal credits that will leave working people thousands of pounds out of pocket.
"Truthfully, we have heard it all before," he added.
Net income for the quarter stood at 10.9bn yuan ($1.6bn, £1.23bn), beating analysts' expectations.
Revenue grew at its fastest rate in more than three years, the firm said, climbing 52% to 35.7bn yuan.
Tencent is best known for its messaging app WeChat, which dominates the local market.
Out of China's three internet titans, the online gaming and social media company Tencent is the biggest, but also the least known in the West.
Tencent has not attracted the same global attention as its rivals: Alibaba, with charismatic millionaire entrepreneur Jack Ma at the helm, and Baidu, the local equivalent of Google.
However, its WeChat service is just about the biggest app there is in China. According to many Chinese users, it is way ahead of anything people use elsewhere in the world.
Its key element is the integration of a wide spectrum of online services all bundled in one single app.
WeChat offers just about everything from messaging to calling, mobile games, food deliveries and online shopping, payments, even down to splitting the bill when you're out with friends.
The app has more than 700 million people using it and has an unrivalled dominance in the Chinese market, but it is not Tencent's main source of revenue.
"Online gaming has long been the driver for Tencent and it's key to understanding the revenue mix," Duncan Clark, technology analyst and chief executive of consultancy BDA in Beijing, told the BBC.
In June, it was announced that Tencent Holdings and its partners are to buy a majority stake in the Finnish maker of the Clash of Clans game.
The deal values Supercell at around $10.2bn (£6.95bn) and Tencent will buy the stake from Japan's SoftBank Group, which invested in Supercell in 2013.
Founded in 2010, Supercell's other games include Hay Day, Boom Beach and Clash Royale.
Like so many other Chinese tech companies, Tencent was initially labelled as being a copycat, filling the gap created by Beijing banning Western online companies to enter the Chinese markets.
Youtube was substituted by Youku, Google by Baidu, Amazon by Alibaba, while WeChat took the place of Whatsapp.
It was initially developed out of QQ which was a Chinese version of the desktop messaging pioneer ICQ.
And there is some truth in the assessment that these companies initially got their ideas from modelling themselves on a Western company.
But the days of mere copying are over, many of those companies have mastered the blueprint they were built on - and often have developed further from there.
"China has increasingly become the centre of mobile innovation," Mr Clark explains. "It's rather that there's a gap now in the West, because people tend to miss what's happening in China."
Captain Mark Byrne and top scorer Scott Boden are two of six players who have been offered fresh terms but have yet to put pen to paper.
"There are deadlines there," said Feeney. "If you want to play for this club then you want to sign what's been offered, you take it.
"If you don't then you move on."
The futures of Alex Rodman, Danny Holmes, John Christophe-Ayina and Medy Elito are also in doubt.
So far just defender Darren Jones has committed to a new one year contract while Andrew Hughes rejected his offer to sign for League One side Peterborough.
Football League rules state that players must notify clubs in writing within a month whether they intend to accept their terms, with County having released their retained list on May 10.
Midfielder Byrne has been linked with a reunion with former Newport manager Justin Edinburgh at Gillingham after similar speculation during the January transfer window.
Feeney accepts the longer the situation is drawn out, the more likely it is that Byrne and others could leave when their current contracts expire at the end of the month.
"That could be the case," Feeney added.
"At the end of the day I can't sit and wait, I'm talking to people.
"We'll see where there are but if they wanted to sign contracts, get it over the line and get it done.
"They'll wait so I'm in a position where I can wait.
"I'm talking to people and the deadline is coming up so we're going to have to possibly move on."
Feeney is confident of securing a further three new signings in the coming weeks.
Midfielder Joss Labadie became their fourth addition this summer joining Scot Bennett, Mark Randall and Jamie Turley in signing two year contracts to move to Rodney Parade.
Ex-US President Bill Clinton, the Irish president and the taoiseach (Irish prime minister) are also set to attend.
The former IRA leader turned politician died on Tuesday after a short illness.
The streets of Londonderry are expected to be crowded with mourners during the service at Saint Columba's Church Long Tower.
Before the ceremony, the same church is hosting the funeral of the Derry City Football Club captain, Ryan McBride, who died suddenly on Sunday aged 27.
Irish President Michael D Higgins will attend both funerals and the Irish Tricolour will fly at half mast at his official residence Áras an Uachtaráin as well as the Dáil (Irish parliament) as a mark of respect to Northern Ireland's former deputy first minister.
The Northern Ireland Secretary of State, James Brokenshire, will represent the UK government at Mr McGuinness' funeral.
Former US President Barack Obama has added his voice to tributes to the former Sinn Féin minister, saying his leadership was "instrumental" during the peace process.
Mr McGuinness's later life was marked by moments which banished long-held shibboleths - in particular his handshakes with the Queen., says BBC News NI political editor Mark Devenport.
Now his death will provide another striking image - of a DUP leader and IRA victim attending the funeral of a former IRA commander.
Writing in the Belfast Telegraph, Mrs Foster said she recognised some will be critical of her decision to attend the funeral of a former IRA leader but added she wanted to pay "respect to his family".
Analysis - BBC News NI political editor Mark Devenport
Before he died Martin McGuinness was strongly critical of Arlene Foster for - in his view - not matching his gestures of reconciliation.
So the sight of the DUP leader attending Mr McGuinness's funeral may be seen as an attempt by Mrs Foster belatedly to make amends.
As someone whose father was targeted and whose school bus was blown up by the IRA, it's understandable that Mrs Foster may have had to think hard about this decision.
It's likely she will have sought assurance there will be no paramilitary trappings.
Mr McGuinness, who was 66, had been suffering from a rare heart condition.
He died at Altnagelvin hospital in his native city of Derry, with his family by his bedside.
Many tributes from across the political spectrum have been paid to the former paramilitary leader who became the deputy first minister of Northern Ireland.
However, some victims of the Troubles have expressed revulsion at media coverage of his death, with critics saying that Mr McGuinness was lauded as a peacemaker despite never having apologised for his IRA past.
Mr McGuinness, who was at one time the IRA's second-in-command in Derry, was later appointed as Sinn Féin's chief negotiator in the talks that led to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.
He has been hailed as one of the architects of the historic peace deal, which helped to end nearly three decades of political unrest and sectarian violence.
Mr Clinton was in office at the time and the then US president dedicated a considerable amount of time and resources to assist the negotiations.
The talks were chaired by Mr Clinton's Special Envoy to Northern Ireland, former Senator George Mitchell.
Mr Obama, who also visited Northern Ireland during his presidency, said Mr McGuinness was "a man who had the wisdom and courage to pursue peace and reconciliation for his people".
"His leadership was instrumental in turning the page on a past of violence and conflict that he knew all too well.
"In our own meetings, I was always struck by his good humour and persistent belief in a better future for the people of Northern Ireland.
May Martin rest in the peace that he pursued in life, and may his example inspire others to follow a path of reconciliation."
Unionist leaders have acknowledged the important role Mr McGuinness played in the peace process, but also said his death on Tuesday was a difficult day for IRA victims.
At a special sitting of the Northern Ireland Assembly on Wednesday, Mrs Foster said while "many victims are feeling very hurt", she acknowledged that many republicans were mourning "a leader, a friend, or a mentor".
Sinn Féin's northern leader, Michelle O'Neill, described Mr McGuinness as a "political visionary".
One of Mr McGuinness' last political acts was to resign as deputy first minister of Northern Ireland, over Mrs Foster's handling of a green energy scandal.
She set up the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme in 2012, but a lack of cost controls means taxpayers may have to foot the bill for its £490m overspend.
Under Northern Ireland's power-sharing structure, the joint nature of their office meant that when he quit, she also lost her position as first minister.
The move led to a snap election on 2 March, the result of which ended the unionist majority at Stormont.
Cooper has made 21 appearances for the Royals this season after breaking into the first-team set-up last term.
The 21-year-old featured alongside Manchester United's Marcus Rashford in the Young Lions' 2-1 defeat by Canada.
"We think there is a lot of potential there and we have always tried to bring the young players on," said McDermott.
"He did really well and he was comfortable in the environment. He has got a lot to do and learn but the one thing about Jake is that he wants to learn and get better."
"I have discussed with him what he needs to do. He comes in every day, he's learning in the team which is really important. If he makes mistakes now, it will be a mistake he will not make next season.
"We have an awful lot of younger players playing international football. It's a great honour for them and a great honour for our club."
Reading players returned to training on Tuesday after several members of the squad were away on international duty over the Easter period.
McDermott used some spare time to track the progress of some of his younger players, including Cooper and Dominic Samuel, who is currently on loan at League One club Gillingham.
"It was good for me to get around and watch some games," the 54-year-old told BBC Sport. "I went to see four games actually. I went to a game Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday."
McDermott's side return to action at Bolton in the Championship on Saturday, looking for their first win in six matches. | 'Da ni ddim yn meddwl ddwywaith pan fyddwn ni'n clywed y Gymraeg yn cael ei siarad o ddydd i ddydd neu phan y byddwn ni'n gweld arwyddion yn yr iaith, ond weithiau mae iaith y nefoedd i'w gweld neu ei chlywed mewn llefydd annisgwyl iawn...

But Foreign Minister Tobias Ellwood warned the death toll was likely to rise.
He said it was "the most significant terrorist attack on the British people" since the London 7/7 bombing in 2005.
A Tunisian student linked to Islamic State (IS) carried out the gun attack in Sousse which killed 38.
Network Rail said services were now running on one of two tracks, with a 5mph speed limit beside the site where engineers are carrying out repairs.

A spokesman blamed the landslip on Thursday on "consistent" high levels of rainfall on already saturated ground.
He added: "Our aerial footage highlighted the scale of ground movement which led us to close the line as a precaution while we confirmed the next steps to tackle this issue.
"Extensive repairs will be needed to fix this and we will have more details of this over the next few days."
Alex Hynes, managing director for Northern Rail said: "We are pleased to reinstate a limited Northern Rail Service following Network Rail's work over the weekend.
"I would like to apologise to customers for the disruption and thank them for their ongoing patience while the situation is resolved."
It is scarcely the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything. Which, if you remember from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, was 42.
However, I invite you today - as I have been comparably invited - to consider the good people of Helensburgh and the delight they take in swimming.
Why, I hear you ask, not unreasonably? Because the fair burgh on the Clyde got five million quid in the 2016 UK Budget to spend on a pool.
And? And it wasn't part of the Barnett formula in any way. It was cash on the nail, for lanes and diving boards and the like.
This matters how? Because it proves, according to the UK government, that money may be allocated outwith Barnett - just as in the case of the £1bn going to Northern Ireland as part of the confidence and supply deal with the DUP.
Told you it was a stretch.
Still, let us give it a run (or, in the case of Helenburgh, let us take the plunge). Let us consider, dispassionately, as always, the competing arguments.
Firstly, the formula named after Joel Barnett does not generally draw comparisons between Scotland and the other devolved territories of the UK.
It predicates a sum spent upon government departments in England and applies two factors. The comparability factor - that is, the extent to which the English spending compares with demands placed upon a devolved administration.
And the population factor - a sum which calculates the relative numbers of citizens in England, Scotland etc.
So, strictly, the cash for NI does not, of itself, instantly demand Barnett comparability.
Then two other points. The Barnett formula is non-statutory. Its rules are by convention and agreement. Its rules are, ultimately, what the Treasury say they are.
And there has been formula bypass in the past. I refer my honourable friends to the topic of the Helensburgh swimming pool, no doubt to be a source of joy and delight to the residents of John Logie Baird's birthplace. Plus City Deals and substantial cash for NI in the past.
Good caveats all. Reasonable and arguable. Expect to hear them advanced in the coming days.
However, there is a wee snag here. It was not the opposition parties who insisted, initially, upon the application of the Barnett formula in relation to any putative DUP deal. It was the Secretary of State. For Scotland.
In advance of today's deal, David Mundell said there were rules about funding in the UK. Clear rules. And, he added, if the funding fell within the scope of Barnett then cash should come to Scotland too.
Indeed, he signalled that he would contest any deal which breached that position.
Pedants that they are, Mr Mundell's rivals now want to hold the Secretary of State to his word. They say he should join them - the Scottish and Welsh governments plus others - in demanding a wider distribution of cash.
The Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson says this is hypocrisy. That those critics know that formula bypass is feasible. That the deal is intended to ensure UK stability.
And the line from the Scotland Office? I suspect they have had better days. But they insist that the Secretary of State was simply demanding clarity: that he wanted an upfront deal, rather than anything in any way underhand.
It is implied further that he may now be able to wield influence to secure future advantage for Scotland with the Treasury, citing today's controversy.
Somehow, I cannot see Mr Mundell's critics buying that one. Carwyn Jones, the Welsh First Minister, calls the package "an outrageous straight bung". He dismisses talk that it compares with formula-bypassing expenditure such as city deals (or the Helensburgh poll which, unaccountably, he failed to mention).
And Nicola Sturgeon? She says it is a "grubby, shameless deal" which deprives Scotland of, potentially, around £2.9bn.
These critics say they do not remotely begrudge additional expenditure in Northern Ireland. They simply want comparability. And they question whether the cash would have been contemplated at all had Theresa May gained a majority in the Commons.
They think they know the answer to that one. And it is not 42.
It received 196 complaints per 100,000 passenger journeys between April and June this year, according to regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).
Virgin said it encouraged feedback so complaints were "not the best way to measure" passenger satisfaction.
Virgin East Coast was second on the complaints list with a rate of 142.3.
Chiltern was third, with 102.2 complaints per 100,000 passenger journeys - up 63% from the same period last year.
Despite topping the complaints list, Virgin Trains West Coast's figure fell from 231.8 in the previous quarter.
The operator, which recently began an automatic compensation scheme for delayed customers who booked online, said: "At Virgin Trains we encourage people to feed back about our services and make it easier to do so than any other train company... As a result, complaints are not the best way to measure passenger satisfaction."
The company added: "In the most recent independent survey by the industry watchdog, Transport Focus, 88% of Virgin Trains passengers on the west coast thought we provided a good service, and we are consistently at or near the top of the long-distance operators."
ORR's analysis does not include Grand Central and Hull Trains services.
Earlier this year rules changed so passengers receiving compensation for rail delays could claim cash rather than vouchers.
The new Libyan government indicated in December it was prepared to open all files relating to the bombing.
Pan Am flight 103 was blown up over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing 270 people.
Bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, a Libyan agent, died last year having been released from a Scottish jail in 2009.
Megrahi was released by the Scottish government on compassionate grounds, suffering from terminal prostate cancer.
He remains the only person ever convicted of the bombing, but Scottish police hope to pursue other suspects in Libya following the country's revolution and downfall of Colonel Gaddafi in 2011.
Mr Cameron announced at a joint news conference in Tripoli with his Libyan counterpart Ali Zeidan that officers from Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary had been granted permission to visit the country.
He said: "I am delighted that the Dumfries and Galloway police team will be able to visit your country to look into the issues around the Lockerbie bombing."
The officers are expected to travel to Libya in March.
A spokesman for the police force said: "Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary welcomes the support of the Libyan authorities for the ongoing investigation.
"Travel details and dates cannot be released for security reasons, and to protect the integrity of the investigation."
The father of one of the victims of the bombing welcomed the news but said officers must travel "with an open mind".
Dr Jim Swire, who lost his daughter Flora, believes that Megrahi was wrongly convicted.
Scotland's top prosecutor had previously written to the new Libyan prime minister for help and the UK government had said it was pressing Tripoli "for swift progress and co-operation" on the Lockerbie case.
In April last year, Scotland's Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland travelled to Tripoli with the director of the FBI, Robert Mueller, requesting co-operation after the fall of Gaddafi.
This was followed in May by a meeting with Libya's interim prime minister in London to discuss further inquires into the bombing.
A statement from the Crown Office in Scotland said it welcomed Libyan support for the ongoing investigation.
A Crown Office spokesperson said: "The investigation into the involvement of others with Megrahi in the Lockerbie bombing remains open and Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary continues to work with Crown Office and US authorities to pursue available lines of enquiry."
The Office for National Statistics is to devise questions for a household survey, to be carried out up to four times a year.
This follows calls by David Cameron, when leader of the opposition, to look at "general wellbeing", arguing there was "more to life than money".
Downing Street promised an announcement "reasonably soon".
Happiness measuring is expected to begin as soon as next spring with the results published regularly, possibly on a quarterly basis
Such a move has been proposed by two Nobel Prize-winning economists and is being considered by the governments of France and Canada.
After becoming Conservative leader in 2005, Mr Cameron said gauging people's wellbeing was one of the "central political issues of our time".
He said: "It's time we admitted that there's more to life than money, and it's time we focused not just on GDP but on GWB - general wellbeing."
Send your comments
In its recent Spending Review, the government said there was "widespread acknowledgement that GDP is not the ideal measure of well-being".
A Downing Street spokesman said: "There is a huge literature on this issue and it's something that the prime minister spoke about in opposition and it's something this government says it is going to look at.
"But as to precisely what we are going to do and when we are going to do it, you should wait and see."
Almost 30 MPs have signed a Commons motion, proposed by Lib Dem Jo Swinson, arguing that "promoting happiness and well-being is a legitimate and important goal of government".
Ms Swinson said: "This is a positive and forward-looking move by the government, which will give us a much better idea of the health of UK society.
"Relying solely on GDP to track the nation's progress excludes many of the things that we all know to be important, but that can't be measured by money.
"What gets measured gets done. While it's not government's job to make people happy, regular measures of wellbeing will at least make sure it is taken into account."
Existing surveys suggest Britons' happiness has remained broadly static for at least 25 years, the motion says, arguing that the data should be used to inform policy.
The UK's National Statistician, Jil Matheson, who will oversee the happiness measurement, said: "There is growing international recognition that to measure national well-being and progress there is a need to develop a more comprehensive view, rather than focusing solely on gross domestic product.
"Important though that indicator is, there is a need to look at broader economic measures, 'quality-of-life' indicators and the impact progress has on the environment to assess national well-being, and how the UK is doing."
But UK Independence Party MEP Godfrey Bloom said it was an attempt "to invoke voodoo sociology in the service of a bigger and interfering state".
"I can guarantee that the only results of this proposal will be greater spending, greater bossing around and a decrease in happiness across the board," he added.

Cheryl James, 18, from Llangollen, Denbighshire, was found shot dead at Deepcut barracks in November 1995.
The BBC looks back at the case.
A modern strain of bird flu has been found in penguins living on the snowy continent, although it does not seem to be making them ill.
Conservationists say penguins need better protection through monitoring for new diseases and safeguarding their breeding and fishing grounds.
Bird flu is an infectious disease of poultry and wild birds.
Scientists found an unusual strain of bird flu among penguins on Antarctica a few years ago.
A second strain has now been discovered, suggesting viruses are reaching the continent more often than previously thought.
"This is a concern because avian influenza viruses that can be deadly in many birds have recently circulated in North America," said Dr Aeron Hurt of the Peter Doherty Institute in Melbourne, who visited the continent to survey penguins and other birds.
He said the virus discovered did not seem to cause any illness in the birds, but the fact that it is down on the Antarctic Peninsula showed there was potential for deadlier viruses to also travel there.
"The impact of a pathogenic influenza virus, one that causes death or severe illness in birds, would have a really devastating impact," he added.
The Antarctic Peninsula is too far south to be part of the main flyways across the world for migratory birds.
However, a few birds do migrate there from North and South America.
Experts say a better understanding is needed of how viruses reach the continent.
Rory Crawford, seabird policy officer of the RSPB, said penguins were the second most threatened group of seabirds after albatrosses, so any new potential threats were of concern.
"Every effort needs to be made to prevent future transmission and its potential impacts on the unique birdlife of Antarctica," he said.
"Further, broader penguin conservation needs to be stepped up to help these imperilled birds - including through the protection of breeding habitat, identification and proper protection of marine protected areas and appropriate fisheries management."
Dr Derek Gatherer, of the University of Lancaster, said the findings suggested that the bird flu had originated in the northern hemisphere and entered Antarctica recently.
"Penguins are therefore under threat from highly pathogenic avian flu, despite their isolation," he said.
The research was published in the Journal of Virology.

Adam Mackie, 19, held a blade to his boss's throat before the scarf covering his face slipped in the "terrifying" hold-up at the Iceland shop.
Mackie, from Caerphilly - who had worked there for five months - later admitted robbery.
Judge Thomas Crowther QC jailed him at Cardiff Crown court on Wednesday.
The court heard how Mackie targeted the Cardiff Road store in the early hours in March knowing there would be just a few colleagues stacking shelves.
Prosecutor Tony Trigg said Mackie repeatedly told the duty manager he would "have his throat slit" unless £1,000 was stuffed in a bag.
"It was a clearly terrifying incident involving the use of knives," he added.
But Mackie was recognised when part of his face was revealed during his escape and he was later arrested.
Judge Crowther said Mackie "hated" the duty manager and "seemed to relish the opportunity to 'give him a kicking'."
A 15-year-old boy who was Mackie's accomplice was handed a two-year detention and training order.
Some 275,000 payments were stranded by the problem that caused anger among customers ahead of the bank holiday in parts of the UK in late August.
In a letter to a committee of MPs, the bank said the delays were caused because it tried to push too big a payment through the system in one go.
HSBC has now changed its methods.
The fault meant that it was not just HSBC customers who were affected, but also customers of other banks who were expecting payments, such as wages, from HSBC accounts.
The bank received 326 complaints as a result and has had to pay £29,000 in compensation.
BBC News reported one case in which a payment was stranded, preventing a couple to move into their new home. They were forced to check into a hotel, with all their belongings in the back of removal vans.
In a newly published letter to the Treasury Committee, HSBC explains that on the Wednesday night a file was sent to BACS - the system that processes electronic payments in the UK - which exceeded the £1bn limit placed in the system.
As a result, the payment was declined, causing the backlog. The bank said this was the first time in 47 years of using the system that this had happened.
It said it had changed its systems to ensure the problem did not happen again.
Aguero swept in his 22nd Premier League goal this season to lift his chances of finishing the campaign as top scorer.
Tottenham missed several chances, with Harry Kane unable to add to his goal tally and City keeper Joe Hart superb.
Second-placed City's win puts them nine points and 24 goals clear of Liverpool, in fifth, with three games left.

And while the result provided a little respite for City manager Manuel Pellegrini, it remains to be seen whether it will help save his job after a disappointing season.
Defeat for Tottenham, in sixth, leaves them seven points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester United with nine points left to play for.
Yet Mauricio Pochettino's side could well have won the game had they been more ruthless in front of goal.
City, who had lost their previous four away league games, looked uncomfortable when defending at set-pieces, while their offside trap threatened to get them into trouble more than once.
The visitors had to survive a number of scares - the first coming when an unmarked Eric Dier headed wide from a corner, and the last when Hart pushed away Erik Lamela's stoppage-time volley.
But this was not Tottenham's day, nor Kane's.
The England international was unable to punish Pellegrini's side, rolling an early shot wide after being played clear, before being frustrated by Hart in the second half.
Kane began the day one goal behind Aguero in the race to finish as the Premier League's leading scorer - and the Argentina international, who had a strong first-half penalty appeal rejected, extended his lead just seconds after City had almost conceded from a corner.
David Silva sprinted away on to a Hart throw, and Aguero timed his run perfectly to meet the through pass and sweep a beautiful shot high into the net.

City's defence failed again just before half-time as Kane's diagonal ball from the left found Ryan Mason unattended, but the finish was hesitant and Hart spread himself to block.
Pellegrini's side may have been vulnerable in defence, but Aguero's tireless efforts ensured they were a consistent attacking threat.
The striker almost scored a wonderful second-half goal from a one-two with Fernandinho, but he screwed wide after rounding keeper Hugo Lloris.
Aleksandar Kolarov and substitute Wilfried Bony could have added further goals before a late flurry of Tottenham pressure, but Pellegrini came out on top.
Musa, 23, joins the Premier League champions after helping CSKA win the Russian title.
Southampton, Everton and West Ham were interested in the forward.
Musa is Leicester's fourth signing of the summer after goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler, defender Luis Hernandez and midfielder Nampalys Mendy.
Leicester's new signing joined CSKA in 2012 and scored 54 goals in 168 games, and has scored 11 times in 58 appearances for Nigeria since making his debut in 2010.
He scored twice in his country's 3-2 defeat by Argentina at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, becoming the first Nigerian to score twice in a World Cup finals match.
His first goal in that Group F game was his country's fastest at the tournament, coming after just four minutes.

A team from the university's school of computing will carry out the three-year study with colleagues in Edinburgh.
Evidence suggests changes to veins and arteries in the eye could be linked to diseases including stroke and cardiovascular disease.
The team will study if this could act as an "early warning" of Alzheimer's.
The new study uses specially-developed computer software to analyse high-definition images of the eye from multiple instruments to establish whether such changes in the eye could act as an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease.
The team will further develop existing software and cross-reference data with medical history information stored at Ninewells Hospital to see if a relationship can be established.
Emanuele Trucco, professor of computational vision at the school of computing, is leading the project.
He said: "If you can look into someone's eyes using an inexpensive machine and discover something which may suggest a risk of developing dementia, then that's a very interesting proposition.
"There is the promise of early warning in a non-invasive way and there is also the fact that we even might be able to use the test to differentiate between different types of dementia."
The project has been funded as part of an £8m investment at 11 universities by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
The body's chief executive Prof Philip Nelson said: "The UK faces a huge challenge over the coming decades, we have an ageing population and a likely rise in the numbers of people suffering from dementias.
"These research projects will improve our abilities to detect and understand dementias and how the disease progresses."
The study will begin in April 2015 and run for three years.
The scientists claim that a thigh bone found in August contains remarkably well-preserved marrow cells, which could form the starting point of the experiment.
The team claim that the cloning could be complete within the next five years.
But others have cast doubt on whether such a thing is possible.
The team, from the Siberian mammoth museum and Japan's Kinki University, said that they planned to extract a nucleus from the animal's bone marrow and insert it into the egg of an African elephant.
Similar procedures have been done before with mixed results.
In 2009it was reportedthat the recently extinct Pyrenean ibex was brought back to life briefly using 10-year-old DNA from the animal's skin. The cloned ibex died within minutes of being born, due to breathing difficulties.
The Roslin Institute, famous for cloning Dolly the sheep, no longer conducts cloning work but haspublished some thoughtson the possibilities of bringing extinct species back to life.
It said it was extremely unlikely such an experiment would be successful, especially using an elephant surrogate.
"First, a suitable surrogate mother animal is required. For the mammoth this would need to be a cow (as best biological fit) but even here the size difference may preclude gestation to term," it said.
The success rate for such an experiment would be in the range of 1-5%, it said.
The second issue would be the need for viable whole cells.
"If there are intact cells in this tissue they have been 'stored' frozen. However, if we think back to what actually happened to the animal - it died, even if from the cold, the cells in the body would have taken some time to freeze. This time lag would allow for breakdown of the cells, which normally happens when any animal dies. Then the carcass would freeze. So it is unlikely that the cells would be viable," it said.
Assuming that viable cells are found it becomes a numbers game, it went on.
"Let's say that one in a thousand cells were nevertheless viable, practical issues come into play. Given that we have an efficiency of 1% cloning for livestock species and if only one in a thousand cells are viable then around 100,000 cells would need to be transferred," it said.
Charles Foster, a fellow at Green Templeton College, Oxford, seemed more optimistic.
"The idea of mammoth cloning isn't completely ridiculous.
"How the resultant embryos would fare beyond the stage of a few cells is more or less unknown," he said.
While most of the genetic coding of the embryo would come from the mammoth, some would come from the elephant ovum.
"We really don't know what the contribution of that cytoplasmic material is, or how it would interact with 'alien' DNA," he said.
It would however mean that, even if successful, the clone would be a hybrid rather than a pure mammoth.
Muslim designer Anniesa Hasibuan's show was also one of the first by an Indonesian at the prestigious annual event.
At a time when what Muslim women choose to wear is causing intense debate, many are calling Hasibuan's move a historic moment in bringing the hijab into the mainstream.
The Islamic veil across Europe
Inspired by her hometown Jakarta, Hasibuan presented trousers, flowing tunic and gowns, in luxurious fabrics and detailed embroidery, all worn with hijabs.
A relative newcomer, 30-year-old Hasibuan received a standing ovation at the end of her show earlier this week.
"Behind the success of a show there is a great team that was strong and sturdy when it was hit by dissent," she wrote on Instagram. "And we can handle it."
Melanie Elturk, chief executive of Haute Hijab - a US brand selling hijabs and modest fashion - was at the show.
"I believe fashion is one of the outlets in which we can start that cultural shift in today's society to normalize hijab in America so as to break down stereotypes and demystify misconceptions," she wrote on Instagram.
"Last night's show was a huge leap forward in that direction."
Islamic fashion is definitely having a moment and retailers are trying to cash in, whether its H&M releasing an ad showing a Muslim model in a hijab, Uniqlo partnering with a Muslim designer or Dolce and Gabbana releasing a line of hijabs and abaya's, aimed at wealthy Muslim consumers.
It has coincided with what is being called the "modesty movement" in fashion.
Many mainstream designers are experimenting with more covered-up clothing (the one-piece bathing suit is back on trend) and Muslim designers are getting creative with Islamic clothing.
Indonesia is seen as an innovator in the region for modern Islamic dress.
"Indonesian fashion has become more diverse and we've become more confident in taking our own culture and what we've grown up with into our influences," says Putri Soediono, a Singapore-based designer with Indonesian heritage.
Soediono thinks Hasibuan has proven that Islamic wear can be fashionable, not just the plain black Arab-style burqa that people think of, and that there is talent in Indonesia.
But although some see designers like Hasibuan as modernising the Muslim dress for the modern Muslim, there are conservative groups in Indonesia who say these clothes are "not Islamic enough".
"The belief among some is that the essence of Muslim dress is to wear something decent, to be modest. For women they have to make sure what they're wearing doesn't attract the attention of men," says Dr Eva Nisa, professor of Islamic Studies at Victoria University, who has been researching Muslim fashion in Indonesia since 2007.
"Some people think what the Muslim fashion designers produce is totally against this kind of religious doctrine [because it can be seen to attract attention]."
She says, in reaction to this, there has been a move towards the jilbab or hijab Shari'a - presented as more appropriate modern Islamic dress - since it is long and loose and doesn't show a woman's curves.
For many young Muslim women, the hijab is not a symbol or a statement, but just part of their identity - an identity they are asserting more confidently.
Hasibuan "started her career designing for Muslim women - this is what her consumers want," says Soediono.
"We just want to design for ourselves, what we like to wear."
The Independent Police Complaints Commission found the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) had not dealt with the material properly.
Toronto Police alerted Ceop to website users who had bought films thought to contain indecent images of children.
It was sent in July 2012, but had not been forwarded to police by late 2013.
It was only when Toronto Police again contacted Ceop in October that year for an update on progress that the oversight was found.
The intelligence from the operation, called Project Spade, has resulted in the jailing of Cambridge doctor Myles Bradbury, who abused young cancer patients, and Cardiff deputy head teacher Gareth Williams, who secretly filmed pupils.
Another person named was Essex deputy head teacher teacher Martin Goldberg, who was found dead a day after police questioned him.
A police officer, who had been seconded to Ceop at the time from a regional force, faced misconduct proceedings for allegedly failing in his duties and responsibilities.
At a meeting on Monday the allegations against him were found to be not proven.
In its report, released on Tuesday, the complaints watchdog said the initial handling of the material from the Canadian investigation had been appropriate.
But how it had been referred on afterwards was a concern.
It said: "There was evidence of a lack of a general understanding or agreement as to who had ownership of the issue for some time, disagreements as to which team within the organisation might have the capacity to take the lead and consider and process the information most appropriately."
At the time, Ceop was under the command of the Serious Organised Crime Agency. The National Crime Agency (NCA) replaced Soca in October 2013.
An NCA spokesman said of the report findings: "No NCA officers faced any misconduct charges but one has received words of advice.
"As the IPCC has noted, the NCA commissioned two internal reviews to ensure that processes were improved. All of the recommendations of these reviews were accepted and have been implemented."
He said the NCA's Ceop Command had "transformed significantly" during the last 18 months with the investment of £10m announced at the WeProtect summit in 2014.
And he added that in 2015 to 2016, 1,802 children were safeguarded or protected as a result of NCA activity.
A royal aide asked the government if the Queen was eligible for part of a £60m energy-saving fund in 2004, the Independent newspaper said.
The aide was told grants were aimed at families on low incomes and a handout could result in "adverse publicity".
A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman has declined to comment.
According to documents which were obtained by the Independent under the Freedom of Information Act, the Queen's deputy treasurer wrote to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, saying the cost of the Queen's gas and electricity bills - which had doubled in 2004 - stood at £1m a year and had become "untenable".
The Royal Household also complained that the £15m government grant to maintain the Queen's palaces was inadequate.
It said the grant request was to replace four combined heat and power units at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
In an apologetic e-mail to the Palace, the government said the handouts were aimed at schools, hospitals, councils and housing associations - for heating programmes to benefit families on low incomes.
The official also expressed concern that if Buckingham Palace were given money from the fund it would lead to "probable adverse press coverage".
The e-mail, which was written in August 2004, said: "I think this is where the Community Energy Funding is directed and ties in with most allocations going to community heating schemes run by local authorities, housing associations, universities etc.
"I also feel a bit uneasy about the probable adverse press coverage if the Palace were given a grant at the expense of say a hospital. Sorry this doesn't sound more positive."
An off-duty police officer, who is also a member of RNLI Mallaig, warned the man before he set off on Wednesday from Traigh near Arisaig.
Mallaig lifeboat was launched after the man, in his 30s, failed to return to his parked car. The search was formally stood down on Thursday evening.
The man's family have been informed.
No further details regarding his identity have been released.
Angus MacIver, duty controller for the UK Coastguard, said: "Following a comprehensive search effort in the area with nothing found, a decision has been taken to terminate the search pending any further information."
A coastguard helicopter, coastguard officers from Mallaig and Salen and police search dogs were also involved in the search.
Stornoway Coastguard had earlier said the kayaker had been encouraged by the police officer not to head out to sea.
A coastguard spokeswoman said: "Being a member of the lifeboat crew he knew the conditions. Though the sea was generally calm, the squalls were a problem.
"When the officer returned he saw that the kayaker had gone. His car is still there this morning. We are obviously concerned."
The search for the man, who has a red kayak, involved coastguard rescue teams from Mallaig, Salen and Fort William, Stornoway Coastguard helicopter, Mallaig lifeboat and police search dogs.
Anna-Marie Strachan, 29, is alleged to have lost control of her car on the A90 near Rathen in July 2014.
The driver of the other vehicle involved, James Thomson, 73, was taken to hospital but died.
The trial is being held at the High Court in Aberdeen.
Mr Thomson's wife was also injured, as well as two young children travelling in Mrs Strachan's car.
The accused denies causing Fraserburgh man Mr Thomson's death and injuring the three other casualties.

The Irish side were 14-0 up following early tries by loose-head prop Dave Kilcoyne and winger Darren Sweetnam.
Ospreys, who had been joint top with Glasgow and Leinster, were hit by a third Munster try when Ronan O'Mahony punished a loose pass inside the 22.
Kilcoyne got his second score to secure the bonus point for Munster and Robin Copeland pounced for a late fifth try.
It was a disappointing night for Ospreys who were without 12 players on international duty.
They had won on their last visit to Cork in January but a repeat success never looked likely as they were forced on the back foot for most of the first half.
The visitors lost four first-half line-outs on Sam Parry's throw, two of them preceding Munster's tries.
Peter O'Mahony gave serious momentum to a drive in the 22 and after the ball was moved wide to the right, prop Kilcoyne muscled over from a couple of metres out.
Tyler Bleyendaal converted the seventh-minute try with a sweet strike and fared even better with a touchline effort, topping up Sweetnam's 14th-minute try in the right corner from a flat Duncan Williams pass.
A clash of heads ended Jaco Taute's night prematurely and saw Dan Evans have a spell off the pitch.
Although the Ospreys improved on the restart, fly-half Josh Matavesi's loose pass in his own 22 was dribbled forward and touched down by winger O'Mahony for an unconverted try.
The Ospreys bench added some zip to their play, replacement scrum half Brendon Leonard having a try ruled out for offside on the hour mark.
However, Munster scored again when Kilcoyne bulldozed over from close-range having made two ground-gaining carries before that.
Bleyendaal converted and also added the extras to Copeland's pick-up from a ruck, the Munster scrum providing the platform with new Kiwi hooker Rhys Marshall involved off the bench.
Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy told BBC Radio Wales:
"It's bitterly disappointing. We've had a good working week. Irrelevant of the scoreboard we feel we put a performance in.
"We couldn't win a set piece. We lost the first four or five line-outs on the bounce. We couldn't get control of the football but then in fairness, they picked out the back three.
"We didn't collect any balls, we were second to any loose balls from the forwards which is unlike us so it was a pretty disappointing night."
Munster: Conway, Sweetnam, Taute, R. Scannell, R. O'Mahony, Bleyendaal, Williams, Kilcoyne, N. Scannell, Archer, O'Shea, Copeland, P. O'Mahony, O'Donnell, O'Donoghue.

Kushner Companies was scheduled to pitch real estate opportunities to investors in the southern cities of Shenzhen and Guangzhou at the weekend.
But last week, Nicole Meyer Kushner came under fire for using her brother's name in a pitch.
Critics accused the business of playing up the family's White House links.
The company said the comments were misconstrued but has apologised.
Ms Meyer and Kushner Companies president Laurent Morali had been included in promotional material for the upcoming events.
But on Thursday, James Yolles, a spokesman for the firm, said in a statement: "No one from Kushner Companies will be in China this weekend."
Ms Meyer had mentioned her brother while urging investors to put $500,000 (£386,500) into a New Jersey property project through the so-called EB-5 programme.
The EB-5 visa programme, often used by wealthy Chinese nationals, allows foreign investors a path to a green card if they invest more than $500,000 in a project that creates jobs in the US.
Critics of the programme say it is used as a means of cheap financing for property developers.
Earlier this year in March, Kushner Companies - owned by Jared Kushner, who is also a senior advisor to Mr Trump - ended talks with Chinese firm Anbang Insurance over a major redevelopment project in New York City.
That potential deal had raised questions about a conflict of interest.
Mr Kushner has said he stepped away from his family's business operations, but government ethics filings show that he and his wife, Ivanka Trump, continue to benefit from their stake in Kushner Companies.
Two weeks ago, French opponents of gay marriage and adoption staged one of the biggest demonstrations of popular feeling that the country has seen in years.
Some 340,000 people, according to police, marched through central Paris to oppose a government bill that goes before the National Assembly on Tuesday.
Supporters of gay marriage have staged their own shows of strength, and believe they have public opinion on their side. This weekend some 125,000 rallied in Paris, police said.
But it is the scale of the "manif pour tous", against gay marriage and adoption, that took many outside observers by surprise.
Normally it is the political left in France that puts on these mass shows of support.
But this was unmistakeably a conservative protest, backed - in the main - by right-wing parties and the principal religions.
So what does it show?
The existence of a silent French majority, slow to act but formidable when aroused?
The latent powers of the Catholic Church to mobilise the faithful when an issue is sufficiently grave?
Provincial hostility to a metropolitan elite that dominates debate and puts an ever smoother liberal spin on issues of right and wrong?
Yes, a bit, to all of the above. But there are a couple of other factors too.
First, the antis have run an intelligent and media-savvy campaign.
From the start they recognised the dangers of being seen as the twitching arm of reactionary homophobia.
So they have made sure they constitute a broad-based "citizens" movement, with no formal links to churches or politicians.
And in their spokeswoman - a performer who goes by the pseudonym Frigide Barjot - opponents of gay marriage have found a perfect antidote to charges that they are superannuated bigots.
A 50-year-old, blonde-haired extrovert who describes herself as an "anarchist of love", Barjot has become a national figure in recent weeks, with constant appearances on radio and television.
She takes care at every interview to state that her arguments are not directed at gay people, but at the proposed law, as framed.
"If what was on offer were a law that further enshrined rights for gay couples, that enriched their unions, and got rid of the discriminations and injustices that undoubtedly still exist - then I would support it," she says.
Instead - according to Barjot - what President Francois Hollande has promised is a law that will "de-structure" society by "destroying the concept in law of mother and father" and changing the time-honoured essence of the family.
The other reason why gay marriage has provoked such a powerful debate in France has to do with the nature of the country's institutions.
France is practically unique in Europe in making it obligatory, for couples who marry, to do so in a civil ceremony, with potential jail terms for priests who conduct a religious ceremony first.
In other countries, priests, rabbis or imams who carry out weddings are also acting as civil officials, and the marriage conducted in church, synagogue or mosque is duly registered in law.
This is the case in other "Catholic" countries like Spain and Portugal, which have recently adopted gay marriage. Indeed the absence of long-lasting controversy over the issue in Spain and Portugal is often adduced as an argument by supporters of gay marriage in France.
However - as a study by the liberal French think-tank the Thomas More Foundation has noted - in Spain and Portugal people who oppose gay marriage can continue to get married in church, content with the feeling that "their" marriage has nothing to do with the civil one organised by the state and now open to gay people.
But in France, there can be no such separation. The civil marriage in France is compulsory, and so if there is a change in the civil code on marriage, it affects everybody.
Again, this may help explain why so many people feel so strongly about the issue.
The antis have certainly been emboldened by the success of their 13 January demonstration.
On Friday they were received at the Elysee Palace, where they restated to President Hollande their insistence that the issue be put to a referendum.
They argue that to extend full-blown marriage to gay people is to play sorcerer's apprentice with the most important building-block of society.
They say that the right to gay adoption will remove from children the fundamental right to have a father and a mother.
The pressure has had some effect. A clause that would have legalised the use of sperm donations to enable lesbian couples to have children has been dropped - though it may be reintroduced later in a separate bill.
However for all the spring in their stride, opponents of gay marriage are also aware that their chances of blocking France's law are small at best.
One reason is that gay marriage was clearly presented in President Hollande's election manifesto last May. The French people cannot argue that it has been foisted upon them unexpectedly.
And for the president - who is under pressure on the economic front for not being sufficiently left-wing - sticking to gay marriage is a useful way of burnishing his progressive credentials.
But the bigger reason why the anti movement will have difficulty building on their momentum is that gay marriage is actually supported by most of the French.
It is not a huge majority, but polls are consistent in showing that around 55-60% believe it is the right thing to do. (In comparison, only about 50% support adoption, and there is a majority against assisted births.)
Over the weekend, demonstrations took place in Paris and across France in support of the government's bill.
There the arguments in favour of gay marriage got their outing: that it is a logical expression of equality; that it is just; that there is no evidence of it leading to a breakdown in society; that children brought up by gay couples are perfectly happy; that such children already exist by the tens of thousand so need legal recognition; that heterosexual marriage is hardly sacrosanct when so many end in divorce, and when so many children are born out of wedlock.
As a young woman called Magali at Sunday's demonstration in Paris put it: "When I see the people who protest against gay marriage, I am just so disappointed for France.
"They talk about family first, but they should see that society has changed. The family today is not the same as the family yesterday. We have to rethink the whole concept of family."
Arguments that a majority of the French - and a bigger majority among the French young - would appear to agree with.
Google said advertising sales for the first three months of 2015 were $15.5bn, an 11% increase from the same period a year earlier.
Total revenue also increased by 12% to $17.3bn, but like other US firms, the company was hurt by the strong dollar.
Shares in the firm rose more than 3% in trading after markets had closed.
There had been fears on Wall Street that profits would be weaker due to investment in new businesses and weaker advertising revenue as more people access Google via mobile devices, where advertising rates are lower.
But the fears turned out to be unfounded - a fall in the average price of an advert was offset by an increase in the number of adverts.
"The concern was that the first quarter results could have been much worse," Colin Gillis from BGC Financial said. "There's a certain degree of relief rally happening."
In a statement accompanying the results, chief financial officer Patrick Pichette said the company continued "to see great momentum in our mobile advertising business and opportunities with brand advertisers".
However, Google did suffer from the stronger dollar. Taking out the impact of currency movements, Mr Pichette said revenue grew by 17% in the quarter compared with a year earlier.
The results also showed the firm continued hire new staff at a high rate, with employee numbers up 9,000 over the past year.
The ceremony was led by National Assembly Speaker Diosdado Cabello in the capital, Caracas.
Mr Chavez, who died on 5 March after a long battle with cancer, had named Mr Maduro as his chosen successor.
However, the main opposition coalition boycotted Mr Maduro's swearing-in, saying that it was unconstitutional.
It argues that - under the constitution - the speaker of the National Assembly should be the one to take over as acting president.
The opposition leader, Henrique Capriles, called the move fraudulent.

After swearing in Mr Maduro, Mr Cabello said: "Venezuela will follow the route to socialism."
As acting president, Mr Maduro is expected to call elections within 30 days.
Holding a copy of the Venezuelan constitution in his hand, Mr Maduro announced at the National Assembly: "I swear in the name of absolute loyalty to Comandante [commander] Hugo Chavez that we will obey and defend this Bolivarian Constitution with the hard hand of the free people."
Fireworks exploded above Caracas as Maduro was sworn in.
Earlier on Friday, Venezuelans paid an emotional farewell to Hugo Chavez.
Mr Maduro told mourners that Mr Chavez, who led Venezuela for 14 years, remained "undefeated, pure, living for all time".
The former vice-president began the funeral ceremony by presenting Mr Chavez's coffin with the sword of Simon Bolivar - the 19th-Century independence leader he claimed as his inspiration.
More than 30 world leaders attended the ceremony, including Cuban President Raul Castro, Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus.
A message was read out from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Mr Chavez, 58, was re-elected for a fourth term as president last October after saying he had recovered from his illness.
He named Mr Maduro as his preferred successor following the recurrence of his cancer.

"Last week it was frustration with the man in the middle, today it's frustration because we were the better team and we should have won the game.
"I thought today we were exceptional - in general the chances we created I think we probably should have scored four today.
"I'm proud of the boys, the performance levels were exceptional and I'm really pleased for the fans because it would have been sad for everyone involved in the club to come home disappointed today after such a good performance."
Colin Sutton told the BBC police thought Bellfield was responsible for "scores" of other crimes but was "not the sort of person to admit anything".
Bellfield was given a whole-life prison term in June 2011 for murdering 13-year-old Milly.
She was killed in March 2002.
Bellfield made the admission during an investigation into whether he had an accomplice, Mr Sutton told the Victoria Derbyshire programme.
Mr Sutton, a former senior investigating officer with the Met, said Bellfield had always "vehemently denied" killing Milly and had put her parents through a "staggeringly difficult ordeal" during the trial.
He said he initially believed the 47-year-old had confessed "because he was trying to manipulate the system".
"But perhaps he's trying to clear his slate and if that's the case I think we can look forward to a lot more confessions," he said.
Mr Sutton revealed police had suspected he was guilty of numerous other serious crimes, including nine counts of rape and assault left on file.
But authorities had decided the cases were too complex and expensive to pursue because he "can't be put into prison for any longer", Mr Sutton said.
Milly's family have released a statement calling the confession "devastating for a family which has already had to endure so much".
Rose Dixon, who works for a charity that helps the families of murder victims, said people generally welcomed confessions but would still be "left totally traumatised by the whole process".
"Bereaved families do not have rights", she said.
Milly was kidnapped while returning from school to her home in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.
Her body was found months later 25 miles away in Yateley Heath, Hampshire. Experts could not say how she died.
Surrey Police revealed a man in his 40s had been arrested as part of the investigation into a possible accomplice but he had been released without charge.
President Baldwin Lonsdale said the storm had "wiped out" all development of recent years and his country would have to rebuild "everything".

The sense of devastation is absolutely immense and when you land it doesn't take long for that sense of devastation to increase.
Many family homes have been stripped of their roofs or flattened by very powerful winds and torrential rain.
The air here is very thick with smoke because the cleanup has already begun - the debris is being chopped down, collected and burned. There is a sense here that people will rebuild but it only takes a brief moment in the capital to realise that this rebuilding effort will take many months if not years.
This is a vast archipelago, the population is spread over more than 60 islands and communications are down. It's very difficult for the authorities to have a true picture of the devastation but it's clear the number of dead will increase when communications are made with those outlying areas.

Did climate change cause Vanuatu damage?
The category five storm, with winds of up to 300km/h (185mph), struck populated areas when it reached Vanuatu early on Saturday local time (+11 GMT).
President Lonsdale, who was attending a disaster preparedness conference in Japan when the storm hit, has appealed for international help, telling AFP news agency: "The humanitarian need is immediate, we need it right now."
"After all the development we have done for the last couple of years and this big cyclone came and just destroyed all the infrastructure the government has built. Completely destroyed."
Earlier, Mr Lonsdale had described the storm as "a monster", and said he had not been able to confirm that his own family was safe.
The president said climate change had contributed to the disaster, saying his country had seen changing weather patterns, rising seas and heavier-than-average rain.
Unicef worker Alice Clements in Port Vila said all the power lines were down, and many staff of the capital's only hospital were unable to get in to work.
She told the BBC a major bridge connecting Port Vila to the eastern part of the island looked like it had "a huge bite taken out of it".
"This isn't just some rickety bridge, it's made of concrete and steel, and now there's just steel girders sticking out. It really shows the sheer force of the storm."
How poor is Vanuatu?
There is major concern about islands to the south, including Tanna, which was in the direct path of the storm. The Australian Red Cross tweeted that it had heard of "utter devastation" there.
Paolo Malatu, co-ordinator for the National Disaster Management Office, told the Associated Press news agency that planes and helicopters had been sent to fly over the islands and assess the situation.
Military planes carrying supplies have started arriving from Australia and New Zealand, and other countries have pledged to help. Commercial flights were due to resume on Monday.
In a statement on Sunday, Oxfam Australia said this was "likely to be one of the worst disasters ever seen in the Pacific".
World Vision said it had not been able to contact more than 30 of its staff.
Pam had already caused major damage on other Pacific islands, including Kiribati and the Solomon Islands. Tuvalu declared a state of emergency after the cyclone caused flash floods there.
It is now moving down the east coast of New Zealand. The storm has weakened significantly but about 100 people have been evacuated from coastal areas in Gisbourne, on the east of the North Island. An alert is also in place in the Chatham Islands, about 680km south-east of Wellington.
The airport closed in May 2014 and was sold to a private consortium that plans to build homes on the site.
However, Thanet District Council has said it may apply for a CPO.
The Supporters of Manston Airport pressure group has said a US firm, RiverOak, has offered the cash to help the council cover legal costs should it decide to pursue the purchase.
In a statement the group said: "We can now confirm that RiverOak have deposited $2m into their solicitors client's account.
"This will be topped up to £2m and moved into an escrow account as soon as the indemnity agreement is signed."
The current owners have previously said they will fight any CPO attempt.
He achieved that a long time ago, not by beating David Goffin in Ghent but by beating Novak Djovokic at Flushing Meadows in 2012 and again at Wimbledon in 2013.
Sunday was one of the most emotional days Murray has had in tennis, but it needs to be put in its proper place in the pecking order of his achievements.
Wimbledon and the US Open are arguably unrivalled at the top, then there's the Olympic gold and after that the Davis Cup.
Having ended a 76-year wait for a British male to win the US Open, a 77-year wait for a Briton to win Wimbledon, a 79-year wait for Britain to win the Davis Cup and a 104-year wait for somebody from these parts to win an Olympic tennis gold, Murray is rapidly constructing enough memories for a one-man museum.
There was a vast feel-good factor about what happened in Belgium. Even those of us watching on television could almost reach out and touch the atmosphere.
Almost as striking as the tennis itself was the emotional impact it had on Murray. Winning for your nation, with your brother and your mates by your side, lent the thing an unmistakable power.
Something else needs to be said, though. The Davis Cup is a peculiar animal. This past week it's been regularly described as the World Cup of tennis. It's clearly nothing of the kind.
For the elite of the game it's fifth on the list of events they would like to win every year - sometimes not even fifth during an Olympic year.
In golf terms, it's the Players Championship, the so-called fifth major. But even that doesn't quite cover it. Sometimes the elite give it a miss. All the world's leading golfers will turn up for the Players, but they don't for the Davis Cup. Not always.
That's not to denigrate Sunday's victory, but it's an attempt to put it into context - while whistling in the wind you suspect.
The Davis Cup World Group contained the top 16 nations. Spain have three players in the top 20 but they're not in the World Group because their marquee names don't play in the Davis Cup often enough. That's a weakness of the championship.
The Czech Republic, winners in 2012 and 2013, went out to Australia this year. A large part of the reason why the Czechs won back-to-back Davis Cups was because their star man, the current world number six, Tomas Berdych, was present and firing. Berdych didn't play in the 3-2 loss to Australia.

Switzerland were knocked out by Belgium 3-2. Roger Federer, the 17-time Grand Slam winner, and world number four Stan Wawrinka, weren't present for the Swiss.
Without world number one Djokovic, Serbia got trounced 4-1 by Argentina in the quarter-final, while France did without Wimbledon semi-finalist Richard Gasquet in their tussle with Britain at Queens. At the same stage of the championship, Belgium beat Canada, who were without their top man Milos Raonic.
The Davis Cup is different when the big boys make themselves available.
In 2014, Switzerland won because Federer and Wawrinka played. In 2013, the Czechs were pushed to the wire by the Serbs because Berdych and Djokovic both engaged with it and were immense. In 2011, Spain won because Nadal played and won every match and because he had David Ferrer, Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez for company.
The issue with it is that it happens every year, so if you miss it once you don't have long to wait for it to come around again.
The Ryder Cup in golf is every two years, and all eligible players bust a gut to play in it. A football World Cup is every four years and you wouldn't find Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar taking a sabbatical while it's on.
The Davis Cup exists in a category all by itself. It's big enough to provoke unforgettable scenes on court, and off, in its aftermath. But the fact remains that its status as a world-class event of global sporting significance is too often compromised by the roll call of elite players who, in the vernacular, can't fit it into their schedule.
Murray has ticked the box. And that's important to his story.
There's the Opens in Australia and France left and if they're captured then that's the full set and everybody else in the British sporting pantheon can step aside and let the big man through.
Murray is not just a great with a racquet in his hand, he's great with a microphone, too.
When, on Monday, he refused to bask in the glory of Ghent and instead lacerated the Lawn Tennis Association for its failure in developing young talent, the temptation was to rise up and applaud him all over again.
This is what winners do. They have a brief moment of elation and then they knuckle down and prepare for the next challenge.
Murray spoke with a mixture of bewilderment and disgust at what he saw - or didn't see - at the National Training Centre in Roehampton for two days in October.
There was nobody there, he said. Courts empty. No buzz and not a scintilla of a suggestion that the LTA are building on his success and the success of his brother, Jamie.
"It almost feels like you waste your time because nothing ever gets done," he said. He took photos of this tennis white elephant, a £40m echo chamber.
Murray knows what passion and hard work looks like. He knows what inspiration is all about. He has seen it in his mother, Judy, since he was in short pants and he still sees it now.
And, in the desire to drive tennis forward, maybe it's the only place he sees it. Judy travels the country with her van and her equipment and her huge ambition to bring tennis to the next generation.
From club to club, from school to school, all weathers and all areas, all months of the year. Knowing what his mother does, and what those at the LTA don't do, was surely on Murray's mind when he set about them on Monday.
In refusing to go with the flow and enjoy the afterglow of Ghent, Murray showed that his deft touch doesn't begin and end with the lines on the court. In a sense, his words were more powerful than any serve and more important than that sumptuous lob against Goffin.
The decision-makers in tennis love watching him. Some would say it's high-time they started listening to him.
Laurie Seaborn, 71, from West Bergholt, Essex, who is 6ft 6in (1.98m) tall, cannot fit inside Colchester General Hospital's MRI scanner and instead has to travel to Croydon.
He is calling on Colchester's managers to get a "decent-sized" MRI scanner.
The hospital has apologised for the "inconvenience this causes".
Mr Seaborn said he damaged his knee, back, head and neck in a motorbike accident 43 years ago and has been receiving treatment ever since.
He is awaiting an MRI scan for a problem with his spine but says he is too "broad-shouldered" to fit in the scanner at Colchester or a mobile unit.
Mr Seaborn, who weighs about 20 stone, said the situation was "unacceptable".
"It was a proper emergency ambulance that had to take me there - there was a driver, his assistant and a chaperone to take me there and back," he said.
"I think the hospital ought to get their act together and get this thing sorted out as soon as possible, because everyone knows the NHS is in dire straits, and surely this is adding insult to injury."
A spokesman for Colchester General Hospital said: "As far as we are aware, there is not a single NHS hospital in Essex which currently has a wide-bore MRI scanner for scanning larger patients.
"Therefore, about 10 of our patients a year who are either too heavy for the table or too wide for the scanner have to travel further afield for their MRI scan. This is about half the number of patients who have to travel to be scanned in a wide-bore or open MRI scanner because they have claustrophobia.
"We will look at the needs of all patients requiring MRI scans when the current arrangement for providing this service expires."

Super League commentaries
A record attendance of more than 67,000 and perhaps most importantly, buy-in from the players made the event the biggest and arguably best in its 10-year history.
Already 65,000 tickets have been sold as this year's event promises to be just as successful and hopes are high for further economic benefits off the field, and competitive action on it.
For starters, it is not a tournament, not a cup final, and there is no trophy.
In fact, rugby league - not top of the list of popular British sports - has managed to create a buzz about a regular season round of fixtures by bundling them together and taking them on the road to locations across the United Kingdom.
The secret has been to generate a "carnival atmosphere", as Warrington prop Chris Hill puts it.
With a neutral venue, thousands of fans from the 12 clubs mixing together, it evokes the spirit of the Challenge Cup final at Wembley - away from the game's heartland and as much an event as a sporting fixture.
"Playing at a great stadium like this, on what is a fantastic occasion does get the hairs on the neck standing up," Leeds Rhinos captain Danny McGuire told BBC Sport.
"It's like a semi-final-type environment and hopefully that can bring out the best in us."
St James' Park has followed the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Etihad Stadium in Manchester as host venue of the concept, offering fans and players alike an experience of a major sporting event.
With towering stands close to the pitch and a Premier League-standard playing surface, the overall reception has been positive from Super League's elite - with last year's event generating a record 67,788 crowd across the weekend.
"It breaks the normality of the Super League up. To come here like this is great," Wigan and England skipper Sean O'Loughlin added.
"As a player you enjoy playing at these stadiums, but when I think of how well the spectators got behind it, that's what makes it.
"I looked around the stadium and there were people in fancy dress and all sorts - they bought into the concept of travelling up here."
Widnes have probably staked the biggest claim for local support, particularly on Tyneside, having produced a Newcastle United-themed kit in support of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation for a successive second year.
Last year's version coincided with the fans being allocated the famous Gallowgate - the traditional home end of the Magpies supporters - and a thumping victory against a Salford side who again provide the opposition on Saturday.
"We want to do the same this year, the fans have sold a lot of tickets again so hopefully we can get success and get the victory again," scrum-half Joe Mellor said.
"I remember walking out and seeing the size of the stadium and hearing the fans, so I'm looking forward to it."
While Newcastle football supporters, with their black and white shirts and scarves, can sympathise with Widnes, and indeed Sunday's co-headliners Hull FC; those of a Sunderland and red and white persuasion might choose to follow Hull Kingston Rovers in the East Yorkshire derby.
"It's massive," Rovers hooker Shaun Lunt said. "I was a massive St Helens supporter when I was a kid, I used to watch Wigan-Saints derbies and they were amazing.
"With derbies, the form goes out of the window. It's an emotional game but we've got to play with our heads."
Hull FC captain Gareth Ellis added: "The rivalry is fierce, and I can see why the RFL and Super League would want this derby at such a prestigious event for the league.
"We know who our opponents are, how much it means to the fans, and that the form book goes out of the window.
"It has a bit of a cup final feel about it, in a stadium that lends itself to rugby league."
Newcastle as a city, not to mention the wider north east, has seen tangible benefit from staging the Magic Weekend.
It was estimated that £4.2m was brought into the region in 2015, beating figures registered when St James' Park hosted football during 2012 Olympics.
Newcastle City Council leader Nick Forbes has indicated they are already seeking to host Magic Weekend for a third year.
"It's hugely good for the economy," said Sean Bullick, chief executive of business development company NE1.
"We'll see footfall up by 40%, businesses recording 50% increase in trade and hotels reporting 40% in stays, so it's fantastic all-round."

They are being urged to tell the government what administrative tasks should be cut or scrapped altogether.
Launching the workload challenge for teachers, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg says teachers must be liberated from "burdensome workloads".
Mr Clegg says teachers should be freed to spend more time in the classroom.
Mr Clegg hits out at the "misguided impression" that teaching is a career built on short days and long holidays.
In a speech to an audience of public sector workers on Wednesday, Mr Clegg will say: "Talk to a teacher and they'll tell you about their working week of 50 hours or more.
"They'll also tell you how much of this time they feel is wasted on unnecessary processes, box-ticking and form-filling.
"We're talking about hours spent struggling to stay on top of piles of incident reports, over-detailed lesson plan templates, health and safety forms, departmental updates, training requests and so on that threaten to engulf them every week.
"Not to mention the reams of additional evidence which teachers pull together because of a long-held belief that Ofsted inspectors want to see everything written down."
Mr Clegg will say that while some of this work is unavoidable, it is time to "stop that runaway train of bureaucracy in its tracks, giving our teachers more time to do what they do best - creating and planning the best possible lessons and experiences for our children".
Teachers are being invited to submit their thoughts on workload via a page on the Times Educational Supplement (TES) website.
Ministers promise to put the best ideas into action early next year.
His announcement was welcomed by the teaching unions.
Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: "We are pleased that government is listening to us. We will need to see real and significant change. It is desperately needed."
Dr Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers said: "ATL is pleased the coalition government is finally taking teachers' workloads seriously.
"It is a tragedy that for so long teachers and school leaders have felt pressurised into doing tasks which do nothing to improve children's education."
But shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt said Mr Clegg could not be trusted as he is "part of the government that has denigrated the professionalism of teachers".
"His attempts to distance himself from his own government's dismal record on teacher workload will be met with great scepticism and the teaching profession will be right to hold him to account for the decisions that he has taken."
Mr Clegg's announcement follows Education Secretary Nicky Morgan's olive branch to the teaching profession last month, when she promised to reduce teacher workload.
Speaking to the Conservative party conference, she said it would be her priority to "reduce the overall burden on teachers". | Teachers in England are being asked to examine how they spend their working day, in an attempt to stop a "runaway train of bureaucracy". | 29,707,874 | 622 | 33 | false |
President Muhammadu Buhari, 74, came to the UK for treatment for an unspecified illness.
On Sunday, he met governors from his party for lunch and was very cheerful, according to a government statement.
His absence has led to some anxiety in Nigeria, with some speculating that he might have died.
Others have worried he may not be able to return to duty.
The statement said the president "was very cheerful and has not lost any bit of his sense of humour".
Governor Rochas Okorocha, who was among the delegation, said President Buhari was asked about the rumours swirling around his health and laughed them off.
"President Buhari was completely unperturbed by the cocktail of lies. He, instead, sent his best wishes to Nigerians," he said.
He added that during the hour-long meeting, the president was fully engaged in discussions on home affairs.
Mr Buhari left Nigeria on 7 May - his second trip to the UK for treatment this year.
In his absence, he has given Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo full powers to act as head of state.

Over the year the company launched 52 new routes, which helped boost passenger numbers by 5.9%.
The rise came despite terrorist attacks in Paris in November and in Brussels in March, which made travellers cautious.
Flybe's chief executive, Saad Hammad, said lower oil prices had saved the company about £11m.
Group revenue increased by 8.7% to £624m, compared to £574m in the last financial year.
However, in its annual results statement the company said conditions remained "challenging".
It said trading conditions had been hit by industrial unrest in France and increased competition in the European market for shorter flights.
Flybe also said there was some consumer uncertainty - fuelled in part by anxiety ahead of the UK referendum on membership of the European Union.
Mr Hammad, who is steering the company through a three year turnaround plan said: "We delivered top-line growth in a difficult revenue environment, expanding our network and carrying more passengers than last year."
He also said that costs other than fuel had been cut.
Mr Hammad has been reorganising the company's fleet of jets, so that they eventually own, rather than lease, 50% of their aircraft.
The company says that will bring cost savings and greater flexibility.
"As a result of all the action we have taken, Flybe is now a much more resilient business and well positioned for profitable growth," Mr Hammad added.
Aviation analyst, Chris Tarry said: "Today's results are a step in the right direction. It is a significant achievement but there is quite a way to go.
"The margins show it is a challenging environment and one which could get tougher from an economic point of view."
South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust and City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust have formed a health alliance to reconfigure how they work.
The trusts say by working more closely together, the 430,000 patients will receive "high quality" health services.
But South Shields MP Emma Lewell-Buck called the decision "quite shocking".
The Labour MP said: "There's been no discussion with myself as a local member of parliament, but I think worse, it's absolutely disgusting that there's been no consultation carried out with the people of South Tyneside who use this hospital and use these services."
The trusts currently collaborate on clinical services such as stroke and paediatrics.
Both organisations believe to protect the future of healthcare across both communities, it requires "more significant transformation" of services.
Steve Williamson, chief executive of South Tyneside's NHS Hospital Trust, said: "What we've chosen to do is to come together in an alliance to make the most effective use of the resources we've got - that's I think, one of the key ways that we'll be able to make sure that we deliver sustainable, high quality health services in Sunderland and South Tyneside."
The South of Tyne Healthcare Group will see Sunderland focus on providing emergency surgical and planned services, with South Tyneside focusing on leading hospital rehabilitation and screening services.
Peta Clark, from the Royal College of Nursing, said: "It's important to remember that both trusts have already been working in partnership for a number of years.
"The NHS is facing huge financial pressures. So, by working together like this, both trusts can become more efficient. Hopefully this should free up more resources to allow the trusts to spend on frontline care."
Both trusts will continue to function as statutory NHS Foundation Trusts.

A complaint was received about the 21 March programme after host Nick Hewer referred to the Ideal Home Show "at Olympia... until 3 April".
Later, guest Mark Foster talked about being an ambassador for P&O Cruises, referring to activities on offer.
Ofcom ruled that both references were "unduly prominent" and "promotional".
Its spokesperson said: "We found this programme broke broadcasting rules by promoting and giving undue prominence to products and services.
"Commercial references by the host Nick Hewer, and guest Mark Foster, were promotional and went beyond what could be justified editorially."
Opening the programme, Hewer told the audience the Ideal Home Show would "inspire us on how to improve our homes and make them even more beautiful... there are talks and tips and what-have-you from such experts as Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen and TV architect George Clarke.
"If you are going, good luck, get some great ideas, and good luck with the home improvements."
Later, former British swimmer Mark Foster made numerous comments about the array of different activities and services that are available on board the cruise ships including "lots of different entertainment on board: dance troupes, coffee shops, restaurants - there's probably about 20 to 30 restaurants on board. A five-a-side football pitch, a basketball court…".
Channel 4 confirmed that there was no commercial relationship between it, the programme-makers, or any person connected with either The Ideal Home Show or P&O Cruises.
The channel continued that while the programme's producers "believed that the references were editorially justified in context", it accepted, with the benefit of hindsight, that the language used and the manner in which the information was scripted meant "that it could be construed as promotional in tone and it strayed into being unduly prominent".
Channel 4 stated that as soon as it was made aware of the complaint it removed this particular episode from its on demand service All 4, and ensured it was not repeated.
It explained that this episode was reviewed before transmission by a junior member of the commissioning team; however neither of the two references were picked up and referred on to the commissioning editor to review as "should be the process".
In light of this complaint, Channel 4 stated that all commercial references will be signed off by the commissioning editor.
Ofcom considered that the commercial references in the programme went beyond what could be justified editorially: the discussion about The Ideal Home Show appeared at the very start of the programme and was not prompted by, or linked to, the programme's editorial narrative; and, the references to P&O Cruises went beyond a discussion about the guest's role as a health and fitness advisor.
Meanwhile, the recent episode of EastEnders which featured Dame Barbara Windsor apparently taking an overdose of pills, received seven complaints regarding self-harm and suicide but the BBC programme was not held in breach.

The 25-year-old was a free agent, having been released by Blackburn Rovers when his contract expired earlier this summer.

A statement said the rebels had breached it more than 40 times along the border with Saudi Arabia.
The UN-brokered truce, meant to last three days, began on Wednesday just before midnight.
Rebels, meanwhile, said an air strike on their territory had killed three civilians.
The UN had hoped that the truce might be extended and lead to renewed peace talks.
Rockets were fired by Houthi rebels at Jazan and Najran in Saudi Arabia, the coalition said in a statement.
"Forty-three violations were committed along the border... in which snipers and various weapons were used, including missiles," it said.
The Houthis said a coalition air strike on Thursday killed three civilians in northern Saada province. They also said they had launched attacks across the border on Saudi military camps over the past two days.
The war has killed nearly 7,000 people, mostly civilians, the UN says.
The coalition, which backs Yemen's exiled president, has been fighting the rebels and their allies since March 2015, when a Saudi-led air campaign began.
Five previous ceasefires have broken down within a short time.
The announcement of the ceasefire followed an international outcry over the deaths of 140 people in a Saudi air strike that hit a funeral gathering in Sanaa.
Saudi officials said they had targeted the wrong site by mistake due to "bad information".
The conflict and a blockade imposed by the Saudi-led coalition have triggered a humanitarian disaster, leaving millions of people homeless and hungry and 80% of the population in need of aid.
Willett, 29, apologised before the tournament for an article his brother Peter wrote about the American crowds.
During the event players called for rowdy fans to be ejected, with Willett then saying his brother had been right.
"I don't think that's our sport, that's not what we play for, that's not what we do," he told Sky Sports.
Willett, who failed to win a point on his Ryder Cup debut, said the abuse came from a "massively tiny proportion" of the huge crowds in Minnesota.
"You've got 150-200,000 fans there that love watching golf," added the Masters champion. "Unfortunately, you've got the odd one or two that don't actually go there to watch the golf, which is a shame.
"I don't think you should be walking around playing golf while people are saying things to your parents and saying things to your wife.
"Unfortunately that happened and unfortunately it put a little bit of a downer on what was supposed to be my first really good experience of the Ryder Cup."

Mr Trump has expressed disappointment with Mr Sessions for recusing himself from the inquiry into alleged Russia meddling in the US election.
A White House spokesman went as far as to suggest Mr Trump was considering firing the country's top prosecutor.
But Mr Sessions appeared to defend the president despite the recent slights.
"He is determined to move this country in the direction that he believes it needs to go to make it great again," Mr Sessions said of the president to Fox News on Thursday.
"And he has had a lot of criticism and he's steadfast determined to get his job done and he wants all of us to do our job and that's what I intend to do," he added.
The former Alabama senator also told the Associated Press on Thursday it had not been the "best week" for his relationship with Mr Trump, but that the president had every right to look for another attorney general.
"I serve at the pleasure of the president. I've understood that from the day I took the job," he said in El Salvador.
The president has publicly berated Mr Sessions in recent days, saying the former Alabama senator should not have recused himself.
Special counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the probe and has also come under attack by the president, is reportedly investigating Mr Trump for possible obstruction of justice, both in the firing of former FBI chief James Comey and whether he tried to end an inquiry into sacked national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Mr Sessions stepped away from the inquiry earlier this year after he failed to disclose a meeting with the Kremlin's envoy during his confirmation hearing.
The president has denied any wrongdoing, calling the investigation a "witch hunt".
Earlier this week, Mr Trump said he was "disappointed" with Mr Sessions, calling him "beleagured".
He also tweeted that Mr Sessions had "taken a VERY weak position" on the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
In an interview with the New York Times, the president expressed regret about appointing Mr Sessions, adding he "should have never recused himself".
Earlier on Thursday, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham came to the defence of Mr Sessions, telling reporters there would "be holy hell to pay" if the top prosecutor was fired.
"It's unfair to Jeff Sessions, he's a good man who deserves better, and some of the suggestions the president is making go way beyond what's acceptable," Mr Graham said.
Two fire engines responded to the blaze that happened at about 06:00 GMT on Wednesday.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said a female was treated for burns to her arm.
It said the fire was being "treated as accidental".
Pat Finucane, a solicitor in Belfast who had represented clients including convicted members of the IRA, was murdered by loyalist gunmen at his home in 1989.
The government-ordered review, by Sir Desmond de Silva, found that, while there were "shocking levels of state collusion" in facilitating the killing, there was no "overarching state conspiracy".
Mr Finucane's family have long called for a full public inquiry into the murder but Prime Minister David Cameron has ruled that out.
Here are some reactions to the review:
"At every turn, dead witnesses have been blamed and defunct agencies found wanting. Serving personnel and active state departments appear to have been excused.
"The dirt has been swept under the carpet without any serious attempt to lift the lid on what really happened to Pat and so many others.
"This report is a sham, this report is a whitewash, this report is a confidence trick dressed up as independent scrutiny and given invisible clothes of reliability.
"But most of all, most hurtful and insulting of all, this report is not the truth."
"David Cameron today sought to use the review as a pretext for denying the family a public inquiry - a commitment that was made by the British government at Weston Park in 2001.
"This is not acceptable to the family or to Sinn Fein and it should not be acceptable to the government here.
"The information provided by Desmond de Silva is a damning indictment of British state collusion in the murder of citizens.
"It reveals some of the extent to which this existed. It does not diminish the need for a public inquiry.
"On the contrary, it makes such an inquiry more necessary than ever."
"There is more than a shred of evidence that the Republic of Ireland's government armed the Provisional IRA and there should be an investigation into that and honesty about that, so as we see all of the picture.
"My constituents are sick and tired of a one-sided narrative of revisionism that says the Provisional IRA were actually quite good and the troops and the police were actually quite bad."
"I want to say clearly that I was very proud to stand with the Finucane family in those desperate times at Pat's funeral as they buried Pat.
"The SDLP and I will stand with them today, and indeed into the future, because we support their demand for a full public inquiry.
"We feel that we have still only got half the truth out here. There are people out there who should be held to account even though it is 23 years too late."
"Given the number of security forces personnel involved, the 24/7 threat - not only to their lives but those of their families, neighbours and anyone who happened to be in their vicinity - and given the length of the terror campaign against them, it was inevitable that decisions were made which, on occasions, appear differently with the benefit of historical hindsight.
"Indeed, the IRA and republican movement often created the conditions which maximised the likelihood of such circumstances. This is part of the definition of the impact of terrorism."
"I am deeply sorry and, on behalf of the police service, I offer a complete, absolute and unconditional apology to Mr Finucane's wife, Geraldine.
"I know that the vast majority of colleagues, both past and present, will share in my profound sadness and disappointment at how the Finucane family were so badly and abjectly failed.
"This failure has done a great disservice to the bravery and dedication of the many who joined the police to keep all communities safe throughout the awfulness of those difficult times."
"The collusion demonstrated beyond any doubt by Sir Desmond - which included the involvement of state agents in murder - is totally unacceptable.
"We do not defend our security forces - or the many who have served in them with great distinction - by trying to claim otherwise.
"Collusion should never, ever happen. So on behalf of the government and the whole country, let me say once again to the Finucane family, I am deeply sorry."
"This report is incredibly frank. It has hugely harsh things to say about what went on with the involvement of state agents in murder.
"It's something which is profoundly shocking and I simply don't believe that a public inquiry would take this further.
"This report has revealed the facts about what happened and I don't believe that waiting 10, or even 12 years, for a public inquiry to complete would reveal more facts about Pat Finucane."
"There was a very strict Army instruction that they were not to get involved in anything illegal - they quite clearly did.
"There was quite clearly a breach of the instructions at the time and that's the seriousness of it.
"He added: "This has revealed a very serious situation in this case. What is so serious about it is that is impugns the RUC and the UDR and the British intelligence, security and British Army when, in fact, the majority of the people involved were extremely brave."
"We must, as the United Kingdom, accept that our state sometimes did not meet the high standards we set ourselves through the Northern Ireland conflict.
"Anyone reading this report will believe it is an appalling episode in our history.
"All sides of the House believe that we must establish the full and tested truth about Pat Finucane's murder but, on this side of the House, we continue to believe that a public inquiry is necessary for his family and Northern Ireland."
"A public inquiry would be able to compel witnesses to come to it; you'd have to have people giving evidence in public to that inquiry.
"You'd be able to test what they were saying, you'd be able to review the evidence of one against another - it's the confidence that it then gives to people.
"They can see justice being done and justice being seen to be done is especially important in cases such as this."
"The fact that the Force Research Unit (military intelligence), the special branch, were operating in this freewheeling way illegally, using their own agents to commit and be involved in the committal of murders is a shocking stain on Britain's involvement in Northern Ireland.
"Yes, it was difficult - the IRA were committing enormous atrocities, the Ulster Volunteer Force, the Ulster Defence Association, other paramilitaries were committing terrible atrocities and acts of terrorism.
"But that does not excuse state collusion in murder which is what happened to a respected Belfast solicitor."
"I have spoken today with Geraldine Finucane and I know that the family are not satisfied with today's outcome.
"I intend to reflect carefully over the coming days on the detailed content of the De Silva report, and indeed previous reports, as well as the prime minister's statement today.
"I also intend to consult further with the Finucane family to hear their views and concerns in more detail."
"The reality is that the Finucane family were an IRA family and I can illustrate that by saying that, when I gave that allegation publicly and was being sued for libel, the family retracted and paid my legal expenses.
"So let's not fool ourselves about the godfather Finucane, who was killed.
"If there was connivance then let me say we talk, all of us who served through the heart of the Troubles of Northern Ireland, we served in a way where it was impossible to have secrets.
"Why were there 10 attempts on my life? Why was Lord Kilclooney shot? Because there was conspiracy. Less than 1% of all terrorist suspects involved in proactive security force operations were killed by the security forces, 99% ended in arrest."
There is lots to discuss with our EU colleagues: what to do with half-used EU budgets and EU citizens living in the UK and British citizens living in the EU. There is also, of course, the thorny issue of Britain's future trading relationship with the EU once we leave.
So you might imagine everyone will want to crack on as quickly as possible.
And certainly that is the view of many EU leaders. They want to end the uncertainty for the markets and begin formal talks.
The only problem is that David Cameron wants to delay the start of exit talks until a new Conservative leader has been elected in October.
That would give the new prime minister the chance to work out his or her negotiating strategy and get it endorsed by the House of Commons in a vote - and perhaps even the people in a general election.
But Derrick Wyatt QC, emeritus professor of law at Oxford University, told me that Mr Cameron might not have as much time as he had expected.
He said that the European Council - representing the 27 other member states - could trigger the negotiating process as soon as the prime minister discusses Brexit with other EU leaders.
Paragraph two of Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty says that "a Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention".
Once this happens, the leaving state has up to two years to negotiate a withdrawal agreement.
The treaty does not say how this process of notification should happen.
It has always been assumed that this would come in the form of a letter from the prime minister to Donald Tusk, the European Council president, and the timing would be in the hands of the British government.
Prof Wyatt, who has represented clients in hundreds of cases before the European courts, said that EU lawyers might consider any discussion about Brexit between Mr Cameron and Mr Tusk and other EU leaders as effectively notifying the European Council of the UK's intention to leave.
Prof Wyatt said: "If David Cameron attends the European council on Tuesday, he is likely to confirm in discussions with other heads of government that the UK intends to leave the EU.
"He might do this directly in so many words or he might conduct conversations predicated on the UK's departure from the EU, such as suggestions that informal pre-negotiations might take place before Article 50 is formally triggered.
"EU lawyers might advise the council that such confirmation or such conversations are themselves enough to trigger Article 50 and set the clock ticking on the two year period for negotiating a withdrawal agreement."
But a European Council spokesman reiterated on Saturday that triggering Article 50 was a formal act which must be "done by the British government to the European Council".
"It has to be done in an unequivocal manner with the explicit intent to trigger Article 50," the spokesman said.
"It could either be a letter to the president of the European Council or an official statement at a meeting of the European Council duly noted in the official records of the meeting."
This question is crucial because the sooner Article 50 is triggered, the less time the UK will have to secure a withdrawal deal.
The closer the UK gets to the two-year deadline, the weaker its negotiating position.
The two-year period can be extended but only with the agreement of all EU member states and they would demand concessions from the UK before giving that agreement.
Leave campaigners have long argued that the government should delay triggering Article 50 until substantial pre-negotiation talks have taken place between the UK and the EU. But Prof Wyatt's interpretation of the EU treaty suggests this would be difficult.
Any decision by the EU to trigger the Article 50 process before the UK is ready would be considered a hostile act by the British government and would be a high-risk strategy for EU leaders.
The UK might try to challenge the decision in the European Court of Justice, which decides how EU treaties should be interpreted.
The irony of a pro-Leave Conservative government having to appeal to the very European judges whose legitimacy it questions would not be lost on Remain campaigners.
Parliamentarian Hukum Singh, who last week alleged that 346 Hindu families had fled the town of Kairana after facing threats from "Muslim criminal gangs", told the BBC that he was only trying to highlight the prevailing "lawlessness" in the state and denied that he was playing on religious tensions.
Soon after the publication of the list however, BJP president Amit Shah took up the matter at a public rally in the state on Monday, imploring the crowds to not take the "shocking events of Kairana lightly".
But soon, some media outlets questioned Mr Singh's statements after they found that several families mentioned in his list were still living in Kairana, forcing the BJP to take the stand that they were focusing on law and order, and not the "exodus of Hindus" in particular.
Faced with extensive criticism from opposition parties, the Uttar Pradesh state government and the media, the party on Thursday sent a fact-finding team to the town, which, according to reports has reiterated this stand.
Mr Singh told the BBC however, that he "stands by his lists".
"The families left the two districts due to the poor law and order situation. The state government should take notice of this instead of criticising us," he said.
The parliamentarian, however, added that "one can't deny the fact the families who had to flee were Hindus" and urged people to "seek the truth".
Meanwhile, controversial BJP legislator Sangeet Som, who was previously charged with stoking tensions during Hindu-Muslim violence in the state's Muzzafarnagar district in 2013, was stopped by police from taking out a "peace procession" in Kairana.
He warned the state government however, that he would not hesitate to take to the streets again, if the families who fled are not "rehabilitated".
Following the controversy, Mr Singh released another list on Tuesday, which alleged that 63 Hindu families had migrated "under duress" from the nearby town of Kandhala.
The BBC met some of the families named in the lists.
Sonu Kashyap, whose name is in the list of those "forced" out of Kairana, did leave the village.
However his family who still lives there, deny that he left under duress.
"He left to work in another district to get better wages. I am here and my entire family is still living here. I have no idea how his name appeared on this list," his father Pala Kashyap said.
Harish Sethi whose name also appears on the list and now lives in Delhi, also denied that he left Kandhala due to religious tensions.
"I came here to work because some of my family was already here. I took the decision to leave to get a higher salary. My house is still there [in Kandhala] and we haven't sold it," he said.
He added that there was no "tension between Hindus and Muslims" but said that "the law and order situation needs improvement".
"But then almost every town in the state needs better security."
Ajay Gupta, however, agrees with the BJP stand on "forced exodus".
He said he sold his house and left Kandhala after facing threats from Muslim gangs.
"I had a small food cart near a cinema and I regularly faced threats. I was even attacked a few times and finally decided to leave," he said.
Sompal Rode had a similar story.
He said his three brothers decided to leave Kairana due to threats from criminal groups.
"I am also trying to sell my land and leave. I don't feel safe here because criminal groups routinely demand money," he said.
Opposition politicians, including Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, have accused the BJP of trying to create religious divisions to seek poll benefits.
A report by the state administration said that only three of the 346 families mentioned in Mr Singh's list had left Kairana due to threats from criminal gangs.
But Mr Singh insists that his information is "credible".
Correspondents say the BJP cannot afford to lose state elections in Uttar Pradesh, which is India's most populous state and sends the most number of MPs to parliament.
A big win here would bolster its chances of wielding more influence in the Rajya Sabha, where the party is in a minority, and sees a lot of its legislation blocked.
Many political parties in the state tend to rely on polarising religious communities to gain mass votes, they add.
Commentators say that the party's solid majority will allow it to push through its policy plans, with some saying this could be bad news for Europe.
There is also much discussion about the rise of the nationalist SNP Party in Scotland, which is being seen as a "seismic shift" in UK politics.
The New York Times highlights a "surprisingly solid victory" for David Cameron. It says the result comes as a "shock" after polls suggested a near tie between Labour and Conservatives. Analysing his win, the paper says: "Mr Cameron had played up fears that a Labour government, reliant on support from the Scottish nationalists, would drive the country leftward and risk the nation being splintered."
A headline in The Washington Post - "British election results signal seismic political shift in Scotland" - sums up an important angle for the US media. The paper says the election will be remembered for the victorious sweep of the SNP nationalist party that "changed the face of British politics".
It also says that another Conservative-led government would mean "doubling down" on austerity for the British economy after years of belt-tightening, as well as a potentially divisive debate over Britain's membership in the European Union.
In Europe, a top headline in Le Monde describes the outcome as an "independence tidal wave in Scotland". The online edition of France's leading centre-left daily calls SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon "the new Scottish 'Iron Lady'".
Another French daily, Le Figaro, comments on what it calls a kingdom riven by the rise of "nationalisms", where "ideological battles have been replaced by identity struggles".
Italy's Il Corriere della Sera, a leading centre-right daily, sums up the night succinctly over a picture of Prime Minister Cameron embracing his wife: "Great Britain, Cameron triumphs / Labour defeated, Miliband prepares to say goodbye".
Leading German news magazine Der Spiegel says Cameron's win is "Bad News fuer Europa". Commentator Christoph Scheuermann says that Mr Cameron will only have a slim majority, making him "weak" and vulnerable to blackmail.
Klaus Dieter Frankenberger in Frankfurter Allgemeine wonders what the Europeans will have to offer Cameron to keep Britain in the EU.
Spain's El Pais says that with this victory the Conservatives are now certain to seek a renegotiated deal with the European Union and that Paris and Berlin will now be even more concerned about the prospects of an in/out referendum on EU membership - one of David Cameron's main campaign pledges.
The Sydney Morning Herald calls the result "brutal" on both sides of the political spectrum. On the right, "a bigger party swallowed its junior partner whole", and on the left, "a smaller party bit a huge, painful chunk from its larger rival".
The Wall Street Journal considers the fate of individuals after what was a crushing defeat for some. It notes the irony of the political fortunes of Labour Party leader Ed Miliband, who defeated his brother to win the leadership.
Israeli paper Haaretz highlights George Galloway's comments that "Zionists will be celebrating" after his defeat.
The SNP's Mhairi Black is getting a lot of attention in media outlets across the globe after becoming the youngest British MP in 350 years. CNN has her victory as one of the top news stories on its website. A Buzzfeed article says: "Black is part of the breathtaking SNP surge in Scotland, which, at this stage, appears to have all but wiped out the Scottish Labour party." In India, the NDTV website calls her a "giant-killer".
China's state-run papers and experts appear to be confident that the poll results will have no impact on ties between London and Beijing. Zhao Chen, an expert on European affairs, tells the state-run Xinhua news agency that "Sino-British ties will maintain a good development trend no matter which party comes into power".
Political commentator Zhao Lingmin in The Beijing News urges the UK not to leave the European Union. "Britain's most favourable option is not to leave the EU - rather, it should enjoy the benefits as an EU member state without being restrained by its rules. This is precisely what Britain has been doing in the past decades," he writes.
Hong Kong's South China Morning Post is "intrigued" by the "increasingly important role played by the minor parties".
The paper notes that politician Alan Mak made history by becoming the first ethnic Chinese elected to the British parliament, but stresses that Mak said he has "no interest in what people in Hong Kong or China think of me".
Russia's state-owned Rossiya 24 TV said the exit poll results were "a bombshell", and a private channel, RBK business news TV, is also surprised by the Conservatives' "unexpected success". But the influential business daily Kommersant says that "Britain's Russia policy will stay the same, regardless of the outcome."

The accident, which also involved a motorbike, happened near Bell Common tunnel, between J26 for Waltham Abbey and J27 for the M11 at 15:15 BST.
The carriageway was closed between J25 and J27 but has since reopened.
The injured driver was airlifted to hospital. At 21:58 BST the Highways Agency reported there were still long delays in the area.
The firm also said its losses for the year would be larger than expected due in part to the cost of investing in new e-readers.
The company's shares fell 23% after the announcement before recovering slightly.
Sales of the Nook were up 70% on a year ago in the nine weeks to the end of September, according to the retailer.
However it said sales of its new 'Simple touch' device were lower than expected.
Barnes & Noble lowered the full-year sales forecast for the Nook business to $1.5 billion (£968m) from $1.8 billion.
"We see substantial value in what we've built with our Nook business in only two years, and we believe it's the right time to investigate our options to unlock that value," chief executive William Lynch said in a statement.
The company has benefited from the demise of its rival, Borders.
In its latest statement the firm said Borders' liquidation would boost annual revenue by $210 million to $250 million.
Two Swedes and one Belgian also died in the attack on Friday, when a hijacked lorry was driven into a store.
His family said they were devastated by the "untimely and tragic death" of the "wonderful husband, son, father, brother and close friend to many".
The suspect, a 39-year-old man from Uzbekistan, had been facing deportation, Swedish police said.
Crispin Bevington - known as Chris - worked as a director with music streaming service Spotify. The father-of-two was based in Stockholm with his family.
His father John said: "We are all devastated by the untimely and tragic death of our talented, compassionate and caring son Chris.
"A wonderful husband, son, father, brother and close friend to many.
"The family requests absolute privacy at this incredibly difficult time to mourn his passing in peace."
Co-founder of Spotify, Daniel Ek, confirmed Mr Bevington's death with "shock and a heavy heart".
He said: "He has had a great impact on not just the business but on everyone who had the privilege to know and work with him.
"There are no words for how missed he will be or for how sad we all are to have lost him like this.
"Whilst this terrible news is sinking in, our primary focus is on supporting the family and loved ones of Chris in any way we possibly can.
Mr Ek said he was as "deeply saddened and upset" as everyone that such an attack could happen in Sweden. The only light, he said, was the consequent "outpouring of love, compassion and solidarity".
He added: "We will greatly miss you Chris. Rest in Peace my friend."
In a press conference on Sunday, police said the suspect was known to have extremist sympathies.
A further 15 people were injured in the attack. Ten are still being treated in hospital, four of them in a serious condition.
Police later said they had found a suspect device inside the lorry, which had been hijacked from a beer company before hitting the Ahlens store.
No terrorist group has claimed to be behind the attack.
A UK Foreign Office spokesman said: "Stockholm Police have confirmed that a British man was killed during the attack in Stockholm.
"We are supporting his family in Sweden and in the UK. Our thoughts are with them and all those affected at this terrible time.
"We will stand shoulder to shoulder with Sweden as they deal with this tragedy."
Stockholm police said the suspected attacker, arrested later on Friday, had previously been sought by authorities for deportation.
He had sought residency in Sweden in 2014, but his application was rejected last year. He had expressed support for extremist organisations including the Islamic State group, police said.
While he was known to security services, he was seen only as a "marginal character", Sweden's National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson added.
Meanwhile, a second suspect has been placed under formal arrest.
Reuters news agency said it was on "a lower degree of suspicion" than the first suspect.
Police have interviewed more than 500 people over the incident, Sweden's TT news agency reports.
Thousands of people have gathered in a square in central Stockholm on Sunday for a vigil against terrorism.
Prime Minister Theresa May pledged solidarity with Sweden in the wake of the attack, with a Downing Street spokesman saying she had called her counterpart, Stefan Lofven, to express her condolences.
The spokesman added: "She was clear that the UK stands firmly by Sweden's side, and they agreed on the importance of working together to tackle these threats, which we all continue to face."
Sweden has taken in nearly 200,000 refugees and migrants in recent years - more per capita than any other European country.
However, there was a drop in numbers last year after the country introduced new border checks.
Separately, more than 300 people have gone to fight in Syria and Iraq, making Sweden per capita one of the biggest exporters of jihadists in Europe.
Police said they were assisted in the house search by "specialist resources" following reports of a firearm in the Grangepans property.
Officers said 14 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £3,000 were recovered.
The man was arrested for drug offences and a breach of the peace and will appear in court at a later date.
Officers attended the address on 3 March as part of Operation Core, which targets drug-related activity.
Despite initial reports of a firearm, Police Scotland said "there was found to be no risk to the public."
Sgt Craig Heron said: "Thanks to vital information passed to us by the community, we are confident that this recovery has disrupted the chain of supply in the local area.
"This was a highly successful operation that involved a number of officers and I thank local residents for their patience and cooperation.
"Drugs continue to blight our communities and pursuing those who are involved in this harmful trade remains one of our top priorities."
The law has created a national outcry, with critics saying it could be used to discriminate against gays and lesbians.
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) protects businesses from state laws that "substantially burden" their religious beliefs.
There have been calls to boycott the state, in response.
Connecticut has banned state-funded travel to Indiana, and Apple CEO Tim Cook has condemned the measure.
Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed the legislation into law last week, but some of his fellow Republicans are already seeking to make amendments.
Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma and Senate President Pro Tem David Long said that they will add additional language to the law to make it clear that it doesn't allow for discrimination against gays and lesbians.
"What we had hoped for with the bill was a message of inclusion, inclusion of all religious beliefs," Mr Bosma said.
"What instead has come out as a message of exclusion, and that was not the intent."
Mr Long stressed that Indiana's law is based on the federal government's Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, which has survived court challenges.
Mr Pence defended the law on television on Sunday but refused at least five times to say if it allows businesses to deny services to gays and lesbians.
"This is not about discrimination, this is about empowering people to confront government overreach," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
A chorus of criticism is growing, with the White House and companies such as Wal-Mart and Angie's List denouncing the law.
Apple CEO Tim Cook, who is openly gay, said his company was "deeply disappointed in Indiana's new law". Some companies have said that they are halting any expansion plans in the state.
In a move directed at the Indiana law, Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy signed an executive order on Monday that bans state-funded travel to states that have laws similar to Indiana's controversial law, but that do not protect gays and lesbians from discrimination.
"When new laws turn back the clock on progress, we can't sit idly by. We are sending a message that discrimination won't be tolerated," Mr Malloy said on Twitter.
The mayor of Indianapolis, which is about to host the final rounds of the nation's largest collegiate basketball tournament, has reaffirmed the city's protection of gays and lesbians.
Mayor Greg Ballard, a Republican, issued an executive order affirming that any person or institution receiving public funds would have to abide by the city's human rights ordinance, which protects minority groups.
While many states have passed legislation similar to Indiana's, critics say it goes further because it empowers corporations to discriminate, with no state protection for gays and lesbians.
When asked whether he would consider extending civil rights protections to gays and lesbians in Indiana, Mr Pence said: "I will not push for that."
A B-25 bomber, a P-51 Mustang fighter and The Blades aerobatic team were among the first displays to take place near Low Green in Ayr on Friday.
The Saturday programme includes displays from The Red Arrows and RAF Falcons Parachute Team.
An estimated crowd of 120,000 attended the main Saturday event in 2015, with similar numbers expected this year.
Event manager Doug Maclean said: "We're very enthusiastic about what we've planned for 2016 knowing we will continue to excite and wow the crowds with some of the most amazing aircraft, pilots and displays they will ever see.
"The acts we have coming along are truly world-class and the fact they all want to come and take part in our event shows that the airshow has continued to grow from strength-to-strength."
South Ayrshire Council is the main sponsor of the airshow, which returned in 2014 after an absence of 22 years.
The council's chief executive, Eileen Howat, said: "The Scottish International Airshow has grown in magnitude and 2016's line-up is undoubtedly set to be the best yet.
"Last year around 120,000 people enjoyed the air display and demand has led to the addition of another day of flying and entertainment on the Friday.
"Not only is this a great family event, but it gives the local economy a real boost, generating over £5m last year, which is something we all benefit from."
Although anyone can watch the displays for free, ticket packages can be purchased for access to the entertainment area at Low Green.
One of the packages offers limited access to Prestwick Airport for a chance to see the aircraft up close.
Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Intel's chief executive Brian Krzanich urged the "entire industry" to follow suit.
Gold, tungsten and other minerals used in electronics manufacturing are mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries.
Production and trade of the materials are often controlled by armed groups.
Intel's policy comes after increased international pressure for technology firms to investigate the sources of their raw minerals.
The company, which is the world's largest chipmaker and has factories around the world, says all the microprocessors it ships in 2014 will be "conflict free".
Most electronic devices contain either gold, tantalum, tin, or tungsten, much of which originates from sub-Saharan Africa and is mined in conditions of armed conflict and human rights abuses.
In 2010, US President Barack Obama introduced a law requiring public companies to report whether their products contained minerals from these areas.
Mr Krzanich, who took over as the head of Intel last year, told the audience at CES that the company had been trying to determine the sources of the metals used in its chips for some years.
"We felt an obligation to implement changes in our supply chain to ensure that our business and our products were not inadvertently funding human atrocities," he said.
The company is already a member of the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative run by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition, which encourages environmental and ethical responsibility.
"This is not an issue we would normally be talking about at CES. But it's an issue that is important to me," Mr Krzanich said.

At the same keynote session, Intel also announced it would be scrapping the McAfee anti-virus brand name and replacing it with Intel Security.
The move is intended to sever the connection to the software's eponymous founder, John McAfee, who has been mired in legal troubles, and has confessed to extensive drug use.
But Mr McAfee told the BBC he was was elated by Intel's decision.
"I am now everlastingly grateful to Intel for freeing me from this terrible association with the worst software on the planet," he said.
"These are not my words, but the words of millions of irate users."
Last year Mr McAfee released a video showing how to "uninstall" the firm's anti-virus software by blasting a laptop with a bullet.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Apple Daily alleged he had asked Cathay Pacific staff to help his daughter retrieve her carry-on luggage which had been left outside the restricted area on 28 March.
The bag was then delivered directly to the gate in violation of procedure, the report said.
But Mr Leung denies speaking to staff.
The chairwoman of the Democratic Party, Emily Lau, has asked for an independent investigation into the incident.
According to airport security rules, passengers must exit the restricted area to get any left behind luggage and go through immigration again.
The paper's report said Leung Chung-yan, 23, was at the boarding gate for her flight to San Francisco from Hong Kong International airport when she realised she had left her carry-on bag outside the restricted area.
Her mother, Regina Leung Tong Ching-yee, who was in the restricted area as a "special person" to see her off asked the staff to bring the luggage to the gate, Apple Daily said. The staff declined to do so.
Apple Daily says Ms Leung then called her father, who they allege then asked that the luggage be brought into the restricted area. The staff then brought the luggage as a "special case", the report said.
In a statement late on Wednesday, Mr Leung said although he knew about the incident, he did not have any contact with airport staff "let alone exerting pressure on them".
He denied that Mrs Regina Leung was in the restricted area and also that he had asked staff to address him as "Chief Executive Leung". | Hong Kong leader CY Leung is facing public pressure after a media report said he put pressure on airport staff to bypass security rules. | 35,994,476 | 329 | 30 | false |
England's children's champion has tried to calculate the total in a report, in the absence of overall official data.
She found some 670,000 children live in high risk family situations, thousands with parents in addiction treatment.
Children's minister Robert Goodwill said support for vulnerable children was being given across government.
But he acknowledged there was more to do.
Ms Longfield highlighted that half a million children are so vulnerable that the state has to step in with support, and 46,000 are thought to be in gangs.
Some 200,000 are judged by the local council to have experienced trauma or abuse and 119,000 children are homeless or living in insecure or unstable accommodation.
Despite widespread concern, the most recent estimate of children suffering from mental health conditions - around 800,000 - is 13 years out of date.
The children's commissioner is clear that despite its researchers' best efforts, the figures it has to draw from may contain lots of overlaps and double counting.
It is the start of a longer piece of work to clarify the scale and nature of child vulnerability and to encourage the government to collect better data and define what counts as vulnerability.
She is also clear that there will be many "invisible" children living in vulnerable situations who have not been reported to services and also because of gaps in data.
Ms Longfield says: "This report should be a wake-up call to the government and policy-makers, who have been in the dark about the level of child vulnerability for too long.
"It is shocking that half a million children need direct intervention or care from the state because they are living vulnerable lives.
"On top of that there are many hundreds of thousands of other children growing up in potentially high risk situations.
"Yet even more shocking is that this is only the tip of the iceberg.
"The actual numbers are likely to be much higher. The truth is nobody knows the exact number of vulnerable children."
The report highlights the fact that there are many different indicators used in varied ways by government departments, agencies and others, causing confusion about the scale of the problems among children.
She adds that behind the confusion are unidentified and invisible children, suffering a variety of risks and vulnerabilities.
"We can trace in minute detail the academic progress of a child from four to 18 and beyond, but when it comes to describing and assessing the scale of negative factors in a child's life which will hamper their progress, we are floundering," Ms Longfield says.
Mr Goodwill said that every single child should have their voice heard and receive the care and support that they need to realise their potential.
"Across government, we are taking action to address this issue - whether through reforming children's social care, prioritising mental health, or better protecting victims of domestic violence and abuse.
"For some of the most vulnerable, our new What Works Centre for children's social care will ensure social workers across the country are able to learn from best practice in keeping children safe.
"We recognise the scale of this challenge - and, while the number of children in need has remained relatively stable since 2010, there is always more to do.
"We will look carefully at these exploratory statistics and I am looking forward to working with the children's commissioner as this important work continues." | Ministers do not know how many hundreds of thousands of children in England are living risky or vulnerable lives, says children's commissioner Anne Longfield. | 40,456,793 | 695 | 32 | false |
Salford led 8-4 at the break thanks to Greg Johnson's first-half try.
After his first-half score for Cas, Denny Solomona ran in two more after the interval to complete his hat-trick and make the last quarter interesting.
But, for the second time, centre Griffin and Carney scored within five minutes of each other to seal victory.
Carney, who left Cas for Salford on a season-long loan, was in the sin-bin after just five minutes following a set-to.
But the Australian winger kept his cool after returning to the field to help Salford secure their first win at Castleford since 2004.
Gareth O'Brien enjoyed a perfect afternoon with the boot, but there was one setback as the visitors lost stand-off Robert Lui with a knee injury.
Luke Gale was the other Tigers scorer, kicking two of his three conversions.
Castleford head coach Daryl Powell:
"There are too many poor things in our game at the moment.
"There's a lot of injuries in Super League this year and we're getting belted with our fair share.
"We've got a lot of outstanding rugby league players sat on their backsides at the moment.
"Rugby league is a game for tough men and we're going to have to be tough over the coming weeks."
Salford head coach Ian Watson:
"Justin Carney has been great this week. He's a big player for us. I spoke to him all week about him playing here and he was adamant that he wanted to play.
"We spent a lot of time speaking about situations exactly like what happened. It's an experience this game for him. It's probably something he's never faced in his life before.
"To be fair to him, all week he's been really good and said the right things, but the emotion kind of got to him. Jake Webster has slapped him across the face and then he's lashed out again. He made a mistake but he's a genuinely good guy.
"We haven't seen the game out over the last few weeks so it's pleasing to come to Castleford and get such a massive result. They're a good team."

Both present programmes on BBC Radio 4 - Young fronts Desert Island Discs, while Mair hosts the PM news programme.
Today co-host John Humphrys and Classic FM presenter Charlotte Green - also the voice of BBC 5 live's classified football results - were the runners-up.
Radio Times readers were asked to choose the top voices from a shortlist of 40, compiled by industry experts.
More than 32,000 votes were cast in the poll.
Humphrys's Today co-presenter Mishal Husain and Woman's Hour presenters Jenni Murray and Jane Garvey all featured in the female top five.
BBC Radio 2 presenter Ken Bruce, Classic FM's John Suchet and Radio 4 continuity announcer Neil Nunes rounded off the top five male voices.
The last time the Radio Times conducted the poll, the readers' top female and male voices were those of Green and Sir Terry Wogan.
The magazine announced it would be running a new poll earlier this year after Wogan died in January at the age of 77.
Jane Anderson, radio editor at the Radio Times, said: "When Terry Wogan won, he topped a list dominated by those who spoke 'BBC English'.
"That's now changed: Four of today's top 10 voices are Scottish, two are Welsh and, in the case of Neil Nunes, his rich, deep baritone arrives with a Jamaican accent.
She added: "Radio has come a long way since 2002, some 53.5 million people now listen every week. Back in 2002 it was 48.6 million - and happily, radio's burgeoning popularity is reflected in our poll."

The bounty is being offered for any "tips leading to a conviction".
Wurm is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that is played on personal computers.
The game takes place in virtual realms and everything in it is created by the players who are taking part. They can compete against each other or combine forces to defend a realm.
The attack happened just after an update to the game.
Writing on Wurm's website, one of its creators said it would be back online as soon as possible.
"We were the target of a DDoS attack and our hosting provider had to pull us off the grid for now.
"We will be back as soon as possible, but things are out of our hands since their other customers are affected.
"We can offer 10,000 euros for any tips or evidence leading to a conviction of the person responsible for this attack," he wrote.
People writing on the site's forum did not think the attackers would be easy to catch. One user suggested it could be a disgruntled player but equally could be somebody "completely random".
They also pointed out that DDoS attacks "are a daily event that run into the hundreds".
Players were reassured that any progress they had made before the attack would not be lost.
Barry Shteiman, of data security company Imperva, said the nature of attacks on online gaming websites had changed.
"It is unfortunate that Wurm got hit by a DDoS, especially on the day of an update.
"If we take a look at last year's gaming attacks, we can definitely see that there was a focus on account hijacking rather than service disruption. This is therefore a new trend that should be watched out for.
The company had already planned to move the hosting of the game to new servers and because of the attack has now speeded up that process.
In its latest statement, the company said it was unsure when the game would be back online although "things are looking good".

Allardyce, who kept Sunderland in the Premier League last season, is in talks with Palace about replacing Alan Pardew, who was sacked on Thursday.
Millen said he did not know for certain who would succeed Pardew, but suggested Allardyce, 62, would be good option.
"If it is Sam, Palace are getting an experienced manager," he said.
"Certainly for players he is an experienced Premier League manager. He did a great job keeping Sunderland up."
Allardyce saved the Wearsiders from relegation last season despite them being second from bottom when he joined in October 2015.
He has been out of work since leaving his role as England manager by mutual consent after 67 days and just one game, in the wake of a Daily Telegraph investigation.
Millen, who will be in charge of the Boxing Day game at Watford, has spoken to Pardew since his dismissal.
The former Newcastle boss was sacked with the club 17th in the Premier League after a run of one win in 11 games.
"We have exchanged text messages," added Millen.
"He is upset, disappointed but proud of what he has done here. Unfortunately the results have not been good enough."
Figures compiled by TeachVac show the average English secondary school has advertised for 5.2 posts this year.
But some areas, such as Luton and Milton Keynes, have advertised at more than twice the national average.
The government said teaching "remains a hugely popular profession" with the highest numbers joining since 2008.
But head teachers say the number of new recruits is not keeping up with demand and sometimes there are no applicants for vacancies.
The figures from TeachVac - collated for the first time this year - are based on responses from 3,706 state and independent secondary schools about their vacancy advertisements since the start of 2015.
Of the 19,557 adverts placed, 3,406 were for science teachers, 2,988 were for maths and 2,767 were for English.
With figures from the Office of National Statistics suggesting the school population is likely to grow 10% from 9.4m to 10.4m by 2025, the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) warned pressures on teacher numbers were likely to get worse.
NAHT president Tony Draper said: "The government needs to invest heavily in the recruitment of teachers.
"There's a drastic shortage, it is severe and it is only going to get worse if they don't.
"Teachers are leaving the profession because of workload and stress issues caused by government policies but the biggest issue in this is that they haven't recruited enough teachers in the first place.
"There are too many classes in too many schools that are being taught by teachers without the relevant qualifications.
"If a child is being taught maths GCSE - they need a maths teacher teaching them, not a PE teacher - what is happening in many schools is that they are plugging gaps with teachers who don't have the right qualifications. That's not fair on the children."
A spokeswoman for the Department for Education said: "To help us continue to attract the best graduates into teaching, we are offering a range of bursaries and scholarships for 2016- 17 - worth up to £30,000 tax-free - in the core academic subjects that help children reach their potential.
"But, we know unnecessary workload can detract from what matters most: teaching.
"And we are working with the profession and education experts to take action on the issues teachers said caused the most bureaucracy such as marking and lesson planning."
Ian Tett, head teacher at Oakgrove School in Milton Keynes, said schools in the area were sharing details of unsuccessful - but suitably qualified - applicants to try to fill vacancies.
"We are starting to advertise for next September's positions three or four months earlier than we did a few years ago," said Mr Tett.
"We are having to be much more proactive and grown up in our recruitment."
Andrew Goulding, head teacher at Hinchingbrooke School in Cambridgeshire, said the days of "long-listing and short-listing" applicants had passed.
On occasion, he said, he received no applicants.
It comes after oil giant Royal Dutch Shell last month stopped its Arctic activity citing "disappointing" tests.
The US interior department said it was cancelling two potential Arctic offshore lease sales and would not extend current leases.
The announcement has been welcomed by environmentalists.
Miyoko Sakashita, of the Center for Biological Diversity, said the decision was "great for the Arctic and its polar bears".
"We need to keep all the Arctic oil in the ground," she said.
US government leases are due to expire in the Beaufort Sea in 2017 and in the Chukchi Sea in 2020.
"In light of Shell's announcement, the amount of acreage already under lease and current market conditions, it does not make sense to prepare for lease sales in the Arctic in the next year and a half," Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said in a statement.
Shell has spent about $7bn (£4.5bn) on Arctic offshore development in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas.
However, last month it announced it had not found sufficient amounts of oil and gas in the region to warrant further exploration.
It said it would end exploration off Alaska "for the foreseeable future".
Correspondents say the Arctic is a risky and expensive place for oil companies to explore, and the current low price of oil makes it even less attractive.
The US Geological Survey estimates that the Arctic holds about 30% of the world's undiscovered natural gas, as well as 13% of its oil.
However, environmental groups say offshore drilling will pollute and damage a natural wilderness.
They also argue that fossil fuels such as oil and gas must be left in the ground if the world is to avoid runaway climate change.
New software presented at the British Science Festival aims to give music producers the power to manipulate sounds more intuitively.
By training computers to understand the vocabulary of sound, researchers could make life easier for amateur musicians.
The technology allows computers to respond intelligently to the music being made.
Music is essentially an arrangement of sounds of variable pitch, rhythm and texture. "We put all of these different complicated things together into a higher level representation," explained Dr Ryan Stables, lecturer in audio engineering and acoustics at Birmingham City University.
But computers represent music only as digital data. You might use your computer to play the Beach Boys, "but a computer can't understand that there's a guitar or drums, it doesn't ever go surfing so it doesn't really know what that means, so it has no idea that it's the Beach Boys - it's just numbers, ones and zeroes," said Dr Stables.
Dr Stables and his team at the Digital Media Technology Lab are trying to bridge the musical gap between humans and computers. "We take computers… and we try and give them the capabilities to understand and process music in the way a human being would."
"It's useful to know this kind of thing because if we understand the way human beings represent sound internally we can do lots of human-like tasks on a computer."
When he's not in the lab, Dr Stables can often be found strumming a guitar or twiddling knobs on a mixing desk. "I was always interested in making music - I've done it all my life and it was something I had this qualitative knowledge about… but I wanted to make it objective and usable to other people without going through the same kind of training."
Professional music production combines instruments with audio effects in a technical and creative process which can take years to learn.
Dr Stables wants to make the process easier for musicians "who might have spent the last fifty years mastering how to play the violin, and just want to make a recording that sounds good, rather than spending another fifty years learning how to use music production software".
Dr Stables has developed a free downloadable package of "plug-in" effects that work with most music production programs. They alter music by manipulating the components of the sound and by adding reverberation, distortion, and other effects.
Where it differs from existing software is in the use of crowd-sourced "tags", and mathematical modelling of their meanings, to intelligently apply the effects.
Using "save" mode, the user tags a sound they have made using the software with a description - e.g. "warm" or "dreamy".
The program links the user-generated tag with features of the music and effects used and adds it to a central dataset, partitioned by genre, musical instrument and other parameters. "What we're interested in is the transformation from what the song used to be to what the song is now after it's been processed," explained Dr Stables.
Using "load" mode, users then type in the sound they would like to achieve ("crunchy", "gentle"); the software uses probabilistic modelling to "guess" what kind of music is being made and change the sound according to the desired description, "to influence production decisions and essentially interface with music a lot more intuitively," added Dr Stables.
"What we're trying to do is give it the ability to understand what the numbers mean and act upon that understanding."
Film composer Rael Jones has tried the new software. "These are quite simple effects and would be very intuitive for the amateur musician. There are similar commercially available technologies but they don't take a semantic input into account as this does."
However Mr Jones cautioned that plug-in effects cannot compensate for deficiencies in the original recording. "Plug-ins don't create a sound, they modify a sound; it is a small part of the process. The crucial thing is the sound input - for example you could never make a glockenspiel sound warm no matter how you processed it, and a very poorly recorded instrument cannot be fixed by using plug-ins post-recording."
"But for some amateur musicians this could be an interesting educational tool to use as a starting point for exploring sound."
In one month of beta testing the team have gathered data from 5000 music producers. The code and data are publicly available to other researchers.
The software is now available to the general public to download and will continue to improve as more data is submitted. "One of the main objectives of this project was to develop a dataset that was continually expanding," said Dr Stables.
One improvement planned in future is to allow users to navigate "semantic space" more freely, for example to produce a sound halfway between "fluffy" and "spiky".
Algorithmic composition could "give computers the creative ability that musicians naturally have," suggests Dr Stables. So could human music producers be out of a job?
Dr Stables is clear on the limitations. "Music production is an art form - it's unrealistic to say that with software like this you could produce someone as good as Quincy Jones, who produced many of Michael Jackson's songs. There's a gap between intelligent computing and intelligent human beings."
Aherne, star and writer of The Royle Family and The Mrs Merton Show, had suffered from cancer, her publicist said.
The actress said two years ago that she had been diagnosed with lung cancer, having previously had bladder and eye cancer.
Aherne was also the narrator of Gogglebox and appeared in The Fast Show.
Her publicist Neil Reading said on Saturday: "Caroline Aherne has sadly passed away, after a brave battle with cancer.
"The Bafta award-winning writer and comedy actor died earlier today at her home in Timperley, Greater Manchester. She was 52.
"The family ask for privacy at this very sad time."
Aherne had spoken of her diagnosis with cancer while addressing an appeal to approve cancer care in Manchester in 2014, saying: "I've had cancer and my brother's had cancer and we know how it affects people."
She said she and her brother had been born with cancer of the retina, adding: "My mum told us that only special people get cancer. I must be very special because I've had it in my lungs and my bladder as well."
Aherne's co-stars and fellow comics have been paying tribute to her.
Sue Johnston, who played Barbara - the mother of Aherne's character Denise - in The Royle Family, said: "I am devastated at her passing and I am numb with grief."
Ralf Little, Denise's brother Antony in the show, said Aherne was "a sister, real and (for me) fake", as well as a genius and a friend with a "big, big heart".
The Fast Show co-star Arabella Weir told the BBC Aherne was "an absolute genius" and that "everything she said was funny".
She said: "She was one of those people who was - without being attention seeking - always, always funny, even when you weren't filming.
"Everything she said was just killingly funny. She was just a great and she was a gentle, kind, easygoing person. She was great to work with. She never made a fuss. She was just a real laugh to be around."
Broadcaster Terry Christian, who had also worked alongside Aherne, said: "What it was with Caroline was she was genuinely one of the funniest people just in the pub.
"A lot of comedians aren't. You know they go away, write it all down and you know in real life there's nothing.
"Whereas with Caroline, she was so naturally sharp and witty and that's why everything she did had that risk factor in. You know if you look at the Mrs Merton Show, none of it was set up. Not a single question with the audience was set up."
By David Sillito, BBC media and arts correspondent
"Did you ever think if you hadn't done all that running around playing football, would you have been as thirsty?"
"Did you ever think when you were a little kid....you would be famous in every pub in Britain?"
George Best gave a little smile and looked round to the audience.
If anyone else had asked it, they would have been on his side - but the laughter said it all.
Poor George just had to sit there and accept that, Mrs Merton, this young woman in a wig and glasses, could ask the questions no one else could dare. And they loved her for it.
The same lines from someone else could easily have just sounded cruel.
Equally on The Royle Family, flatulent Jim, camped permanently on the sofa, and feckless selfish Denise seem to be, on paper, hard characters to warm to. But there was always something affectionate in this comedy.
Caroline Aherne had many troubles but perhaps they also helped her convey something that's often missing in comedy - empathy.
The Royle Family didn't seem patronising or mocking because it so clearly grew out of her own life and experiences. She was one of us - just funnier.
Actor and writer Mark Gatiss said Aherne was "so gifted", and Little Britain star David Walliams wrote on Twitter: "Absolutely devastating news about Caroline Aherne. A true comedy genius, her work was equally funny & touching."
Jenny Eclair wrote: "Poor dear Caroline Aherne, how terribly sad."
Comedian Sarah Millican said: "So sad. What a wonderful talent she was."
David Baddiel paid tribute by writing: "The talent, you all knew about. But she was a really lovely woman. Vulnerable and complex and damaged but... lovely. #CarolineAherneRIP."
Some also recalled their favourite lines, with DJ and writer Danny Baker writing on Twitter: "Goodbye great Caroline Aherne. A gift & language that lives on. A vegetarian? That's a shame. Could she have some wafer-thin ham, Barbara?"
Aherne was born in London but grew up in Wythenshawe, Manchester. Her brother Patrick has said she was the family joker, adding: "Nobody else in the family was like that. But she was funny from the time she was really little."
She studied drama at Liverpool Polytechnic then started work as a secretary at the BBC before finding national fame in the mid-1990s with Mrs Merton, in which she starred as the eponymous chat show host, and The Fast Show.
The Royle Family, which ran for three series and featured in several specials, told the story of a dysfunctional family. Aherne wrote it with co-star Craig Cash, drawing on her own childhood experiences and the people she met growing up.
It won four awards, including best actress for Aherne, at the 1999 British Comedy Awards, before going on to pick up the best sitcom Bafta in 2000 and 2007.
In the Mrs Merton Show, a series of guests were subjected to questions in front of an audience of pensioners. One much-quoted example is when Mrs Merton asked Debbie McGee: "And what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?".
The Mrs Merton Christmas Show won the best talk show Bafta in 1997. Aherne was nominated for Baftas for her performances in both shows, as well as for directing The Royle Family in 2001.
BBC director general Tony Hall said: "We are deeply saddened to learn of Caroline's death.
"She was a brilliant, award-winning comedy writer and performer, much loved by audiences - especially for The Royle Family and Mrs Merton and for her wonderful voicing of many shows.
"Our thoughts are with her family and friends."
Gogglebox tweeted that everyone involved with the programme was "devastated about the passing of our dearest Caroline, who we all adored".
Former ITV chairman Lord Grade said: "We have lost a most original talent. The Royle Family will live in the mind with the greatest situation comedies."
Defeat leaves the Tynesiders nine points off the top five, down in ninth place.
The home side took the lead when winger David Fitzpatrick foraged down the right, cut inside and beat Dan Hanford with a powerful angled shot.
Paddy McLaughlin stroked home a second-half penalty to bring Gateshead level, but substitute Paul Rooney poked Torquay back in front soon after, getting on the end of Dan Sparkes' excellent free-kick.
The away side were desperately unlucky on occasion, James Bolton's header came back off the bar and Danny Johnson's effort hit a post as they pressed for a leveller.
Late on, however, Brett Williams intercepted Luke Hannant's misplaced pass and added a flattering element to Torquay's win.

Three requirements have been made in a Healthcare Environment Inspectorate report after an unannounced inspection in April.
However the HEI said the inspection was largely positive and there was a good standard of environmental cleanliness at the hospital.
NHS Grampian said an action plan had been developed.
An NHS Grampian spokesperson said: "NHS Grampian is pleased that in this predominantly positive report the inspection team found good levels of both environmental cleanliness and compliance with infection prevention and control procedures at Dr Gray's. Patients also spoke highly of cleanliness at the hospital.
"The report makes three requirements. An action plan has been developed to meet these and work is progressing."
Born Rory Graham in Uckfield, near Brighton, the 31-year-old started his musical career as a jungle MC before his parents encouraged him to sing.
His first big break came in 2012, when he supported Joan Armatrading, after his girlfriend sent promoters his early recordings - including videos of him singing on the toilet.
"I didn't know anything about it," he told his local newspaper The Argus. "I made some of my early recordings while sitting on the toilet... They seemed to like it though."
Through constant gigging, he built a loyal fanbase until the emotive Bitter End, from his 2015 Disfigured EP, won support from Huw Stephens on Radio 1 and Jo Whiley on Radio 2.
With a rasping voice not unlike Joe Cocker, he recently scored a major hit with the gospel-inspired single Human, which has topped the German charts for the last 13 weeks, and challenged Clean Bandit for the UK Christmas number one.
He spoke to the BBC about his pirate radio past, becoming "big in Germany" and his favourite Disney songs.

Congratulations on making the Sound of 2017's top five! How does it feel?
It's a pretty exciting thing to be part of. It feels like I've put in all the hard work for a reason.
Where did you get the name Rag 'N' Bone Man?
I used to go round to my granddad's house on a Saturday morning, and we'd sit and eat our porridge and watch re-runs of Steptoe and Son on BBC Two. I thought it was hilarious - and Rag 'N' Bone Man sounded like a blues name to me. It reminded me of people like Sonny Boy Williamson and Big Mama Thornton.
Imagine how different it would have been if you'd been watching repeats of Fawlty Towers.
Yeah, I could have been called Basil!
Did anyone ever advise you to go back to being Rory?
I was asked if I wanted to change it a couple of times, but I like it. Whether you think it's stupid or not, it's memorable.
Human has been number one in Germany for more than three months now. Is it strange to be big in Europe first?
It's really crazy. I never expected it at all.
I've been working as a musician for the last five or six years, but I saw myself as an underground artist and I was kind of happy doing that. But then, you know, when it started getting bigger I thought, "Well, why not? Why shouldn't it be spread to a wider audience?"
In the UK, the song only entered the chart after Emily Middlemas performed it on X Factor. How did you feel about that?
I didn't have any choice in the matter! X Factor isn't my thing. I don't watch those shows. But somebody showed me her singing the song on their phone and, actually, she kind of nailed it.
You spent a long time making hip-hop as a teenager. Were you a good MC?
I think I was - but I always had the feeling everyone was better than me, you know? When I started singing, I left it behind.
What prompted you to start singing?
Me and my dad used to go to these jam sessions and open mic nights but I was always scared of singing on stage. It felt different to rapping - more pressured.
But it literally took one time for me to do it, and for people to come up and say, "Dude, do you realise what your voice sounds like?" for me to be like, "OK, maybe I should do this more often!"
Where was that gig?
It was my 21st birthday at a pub in East Grinstead. My dad said, "You should get up and sing" and because it was my birthday and I'd had a few drinks I went, "Alright, yeah, I'll do it!"
What did you sing?
The guys on stage were all double, if not triple, my age, and they were playing old blues tunes and standards. I knew all the words because my dad used to play them on a slide guitar when I was a kid.
The first song you uploaded to YouTube was an old American folk song, Reuben's Train. I was surprised to see you playing guitar on it, because you don't anymore...
I don't much, no, but I've just decided to start doing it again.
What age did you start to learn?
I always knew a little bit because my dad played but I didn't really have that much interest. You know what it's like when your dad tries to get you into something!
But when I started singing, and I wanted to try and write songs, I realised I'd have to teach myself a bit more.
So you had no formal training?
My mum always wanted to send me to a music school but we didn't really have the money. So even now, I'm not a technically good singer. If you asked me to sing a particular harmony, I wouldn't know how.
What else were you into as a kid?
I played a lot of basketball - but I was a little terror as a kid. I caused a lot of problems for my mum. We used to have the old bill round my house a lot.
I grew up in a little town called Uckfield and there's not much to do - so we used to fight a lot. I was never in serious trouble, but we used to have the local bobby round the house saying, "Rory's been up to this again."
Then you got into jungle music?
Yeah, when I was 16 or 17. We used to do little pirate radio stations and put out jungle mixes.
What were those pirate radio shows like?
Well, we have a couple of tapes, which are never allowed to be shown to anyone, ever! They are really bad. I listened back to one the other day and it is terrible. I'm keeping them firmly locked away.
What's the most embarrassing bit?
It's my voice. It's only just broken so I kind of sound like Scooby Doo.
You've been making music as Rag 'N' Bone Man for five or six years, now. Did you have to work to support yourself at the beginning?
Yeah, I was a carer, looking after people with Asperger syndrome and Down's syndrome.
My sister does something similar. It's a very rewarding job but quite a draining one.
Mentally draining, yeah. But most of the time it was pretty fun, to be honest.I looked after a brother and sister who had Down's syndrome, and we used to drive around in the car, stick on Disney songs and sing along. That was my life for about four years.
What was their favourite Disney song?
I used to do impressions of the Jungle Book characters to the kids; and we loved The Aristocats as well. That was one of our favourites - Everybody Wants To Be A Cat.
During that period, you gave away your Wolves EP for free. Why?
Wolves marked a point where I wanted to write songs properly and I wanted a wider audience to hear them. So I thought, "Why don't we just give it away? How can that be a bad thing?"
People love free stuff. And it worked. If definitely widened the audience.
Was there a song that people really responded to?
There's one called Life In Her Yet. I wrote it after I spoke to my granddad about living on his own again, after losing his wife. I can't imagine being with someone for 50 years and then being on your own.
That was the first song where I felt I could write about stuff like that.
Where did Human come from?
A friend asked me a question I didn't really feel qualified to answer, and I was like, "Why are you asking me?" That's what prompted the line, "I'm no prophet or messiah". Like, go and ask someone else. I don't have the answers for you!
It's funny, because I spoke to other people and they think it's about humanity. Maybe it is… but that's what's good about music - people can interpret the song for themselves.
I saw you play in Brixton recently, and you told the audience: "It's hard to write sad songs when I feel so happy." How big a problem is it?
There was a period where I felt a lot of frustration and and I wasn't happy in my relationship - and that definitely did make me write in a certain way. But I'm still learning as a songwriter, so I think I've definitely got it in me to write happier songs. Whether they'll be good or not, I don't know.
You recently tweeted you'd been up at 3am writing rap lyrics about EastEnders, so that can always be the basis of album number two.
Haha! Yeah, I still have that really childish side to me. I have a couple of tracks on the new album that I rap on. I need people to hear that side of my music, as well.
Rag 'N' Bone Man's debut album, Human, will be released on 10 February by Sony Music.

Emergency services were called to an address in Heather Avenue, Alexandria, at about 14:25 on Saturday.
The Scottish ambulance service said four ambulances, a paramedic unit and a special operations response team attended.
Police Scotland said the circumstances were being investigated.
It is understood that no violence was involved in the incident.
Five people were taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow and the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley. Their condition was not immediately known.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Enquiries are at an early stage to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident."
Kevin Murray, 46, from Townsend Street in Strabane, County Tyrone, is objecting to a bid to extradite him to the Republic of Ireland.
A warrant for his extradition said Gardaà (Irish police) believe he played a central role in the hotel shooting.
He was remanded in custody until a bail hearing scheduled for Friday.
The judge at Belfast Recorder's Court is awaiting medical reports before ruling on whether to release Mr Murray on bail.
The fatal shooting took place at Dublin's Regency Hotel on 5 February.
David Byrne, 33, was shot dead and two other men were injured in the attack, which Gardaà linked to a gangland feud in Dublin.
Mr Murray was arrested by PSNI officers in Strabane on Monday, using a European Arrest Warrant.
Forty of the jets will be bought by leasing company Macquarie AirFinance in a deal worth about $3bn (£1.84bn), based on current prices.
The company has an option to buy 10 more.
Bombardier now has 243 firm orders for the C-Series, edging closer to the company's target of 300 by the time the plane enters service in late 2015.
The wings for the aircraft will be made in Belfast, supporting 800 jobs.
The C-Series programme has experienced repeated delays and rising costs that have worried investors.
Test flights resumed in September after an on-ground engine fire halted them in May.
The aerospace company is one of Northern Ireland's biggest employers.
About 5,000 permanent employees and about 1,000 temporary and contract staff work at its Belfast base.
The fee is already in place in some US cities, but will be rolled out across the country from August.
In other countries, including the UK, items found by Uber drivers are returned without charge.
Uber said it had acted on feedback from US drivers who had found themselves making unpaid trips to return items.
The company added it would also launch a 24-hour hotline to deal with drivers' support queries more directly.
Uber rival Lyft does not charge for the return of lost property, but points out that "an extra tip is a great way to thank your driver".
However, fees for the return of items lost on public transport are not uncommon.
Transport for London, for instance, charges £20 for a laptop, mobile phone or tablet computer lost on its trains, trams or buses - with an additional fee if the item has been found by a black-cab driver.
It happened near Camborne on the A30 at 22:10 BST on Friday 12 May.
The road was closed for about six-and-a-half hours while a forensic team examined the scene, but has since reopened.
The 27-year-old woman was declared dead at the scene by paramedics. She has not yet been named by police.
It has brought the total this week so far to 80 as NHS Grampian experienced a "seasonal" peak in demand.
The health board said many staff had been working extra hours and giving up their days off to help colleagues cope.
Twenty operations were affected on Tuesday and 45 more on Wednesday.
Allen Kennedy is also charged with having quantities of ecstasy and cocaine with intent to supply.
The 30-year-old, whose address was given as c/o Strandtown Police Station in east Belfast, was arrested in the city on Monday.
He faced six charges at Belfast Magistrates Court.
The policeman is accused of the attempted possession of a handgun, 10 rounds of ammunition and a silencer in suspicious circumstances and with intent to endanger life.
Mr Kennedy, who is currently suspended from duties due to unrelated matters, is further charged with having bullets and a shotgun cartridge.
He faces further allegations of having Class A drugs with intent to supply, and possession of cannabis.
All of the alleged offences occurred at locations in Belfast and Newtownards on 5 September.
Standing in the dock dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, Mr Kennedy confirmed he understood the charges, replying: "I do."
A defence solicitor told the court his client was not seeking bail at this stage.
He was remanded into custody to appear again by video-link in four weeks time.
The world number 28, who was part of the European 2016 Ryder Cup team, has finished in the top 10 in four of his past five appearances at the event.
The 33-year-old was joint runner-up in 2012 at Royal Portrush.
Two years ago at Royal County Down, he missed out on a place in a three-way play-off, won by Dane Soren Kjeldsen.
This year's tournament, hosted by The Rory Foundation, boasts a record prize fund of nearly £5.5m and is being staged at Portstewart for the first time.
The field includes defending champion Rory McIlroy, world number four Hideki Matsuyama, former US Open champion Justin Rose, ex-Masters champion Danny Willett and world number 10 Jon Rahm.
"I always love playing in the Irish Open," said Cabrera Bello, who has claimed two top fives in his past three appearances on the US PGA Tour.
"It's always one of my favourite events and you can see that in my recent record at this event.
"The atmosphere is always incredible and I love playing in front of such knowledgeable golf fans. I really enjoy playing on classic links courses too and I think they really suit my game."
The Irish Open forms part of the new Rolex Series, a premium category of events on the European Tour calendar.
The 25-year-old left-armer, who helped Pakistan win the Champions Trophy last weekend, will be available for the second half of the county season.
"[Pakistan legend] Wasim Akram is my idol. When I spoke to him he said if you want to do better in cricket, go and play county cricket," said Amir.
"He said you will learn lots about cricket both off the field and on."
Fellow left-arm pace bowler Wasim took 414 wickets in 104 Tests for Pakistan between 1985 and 2002, and enjoyed much success as Lancashire's overseas player between 1988 and 1998.
Amir can play in all formats for Essex, starting with their day-night County Championship match against Middlesex at Chelmsford next week.
Essex are currently top of Division One in their first season back in the top flight.
"I want to be the best bowler for the half season I'm playing," Amir told BBC Look East.
"As an overseas player it's my duty to give 100% and perform well for them and maintain the standard they've been doing."
He took 3-16, which included a brilliant opening spell, as Pakistan shocked defending champions India to win the Champions Trophy on Sunday.
Amir said: "We changed history. We've won all formats of trophies in the ICC: 2009 World Twenty20, 1992 World Cup and now the 2017 Champions Trophy.
"I don't have words to explain. We won the game against India and everybody knows what that means to us and everybody back home, especially my family for me too, because of the way I performed in the final. That was one of the best performances of my career."
Amir was banned from cricket for five years after being convicted of spot-fixing against England at Lord's in 2010.
One of three Pakistan players jailed in November 2011 for his part in a conspiracy to bowl deliberate no-balls, he served three months in prison.
He has taken 94 wickets in 28 Tests at an average of 31.47 since making his debut as a 17-year-old in 2009.
Thomas Wynn is accused of being part of a plot to move drugs from Liverpool to Brighton and Eastbourne in East Sussex.
The 49-year-old was arrested on 24 March but has failed to answer bail, Merseyside Police said.
Mr Wynn has links to several addresses in Liverpool, including Tobacco Wharf and Commercial Road, and also has Eastbourne and Brighton connections.
So far 11 people have been charged with drugs offences in relation to the investigation, codenamed Operation Wildwood.
Yorkshire Water said "high levels of bacteria" had been detected in water supplying Thorne near Doncaster.
The firm has apologised and delivered bottled water to those affected.
Spokesman Charlie Haysom said: "We are working hard to identify the source of the contamination and carrying out widespread flushing and sampling in the area".
"Sam is another player who embodies the culture we have endeavoured to build at this club," said Warriors director of rugby Ryan. "I am delighted he has committed to our long-term future."
"He has continued to show his qualities among a very competitive back-row."
Bristol-born Betty, 28, moved to Sixways from Cornish Pirates in 2011.
"I am delighted to commit my future to a club which has grown enormously over the past 18 months," he said. "I firmly believe that we are on a pathway to success. The players who have experienced the lows here really do recognise the progression we have made."
Worcester have dropped to second in the Championship table, three points behind Bristol, the Warriors' 24-game club-record unbeaten run having come to an end on Saturday when they lost to Jersey.
The 36-year-old was a free agent after being released by QPR at the end of last season.
Green, who won 12 caps for England, has also played for Norwich and West Ham.
"This is one of those opportunities where the first call asking if you want to come and play for Leeds is very quick. It was a 'yes' straightaway," he told the club website.
"I'm thrilled to be here. I've spoken to the manager and I know what he's got in store and what he's planning.
"What he said really resonated with me and re-affirmed my feelings towards this opportunity."

New Quay RNLI was established in the Ceredigion seaside town in 1864.
A Mersey class all weather lifeboat and an inshore rescue craft are currently manned by 25 crew members.
Planned events include an open day and a rededication of the station and its lifeboats in June.
The town has produced a long list of notable coxswains who have answered more than 940 call-outs or 'shouts' in the last century and a half.
Perhaps the most famous was Arden Evans and his son Winston who between them served a total of 40 years after the Second World War.
Winston Evans, who at the age of 26 became Britain's youngest coxswain in 1965, was awarded the British Empire Medal in 1985.
He was also awarded the RNLI's Bronze Medal in 1966 following a rescue off rocks between New Quay and Aberysytwyth.
"I was very lucky in my time as coxswain because we didn't have to answer a lot of shouts," said Mr Evans, who was at the helm for 29 years until 1994.
"In those days most of the crew were fishermen but now the RNLI can train people from all walks of life who want to be part of the crew."
Mr Evans was followed as coxswain in 1994 by Daniel Potter, another local man who continues in the post, and is the great nephew of Frederick Shayler who was a distinguished coxswain for 17 years in the 1920's and 30's.
New Quay's first lifeboat was the Forester, a gift from the Independent Ancient Order of Foresters and introduced to protect sailors in what was a busy coastal shipping area.
A service of rededication of the station and its lifeboats will be conducted by the chaplain to the station the Reverend Matthew Baynham on the quay on Saturday 7 June.
A book detailing the history of the RNLI in New Quay with more than 100 photographs was launched on Tuesday.
Its author, Roger Bryan, said: "It's been a great honour and a labour of love to chronicle the history of the lifeboat station and its crews.
"The station has a great deal to be proud of and is worthy of commemoration."
The New Quay lifeboat station will host an open day on Sunday 25 May.
A series of landslips on a hillside behind the properties in the Swansea Valley has led to the warning.
Neath Port Talbot council said lives could be at risk unless the homes on Cyfyng Road, Ystalafera were evacuated.
But some residents have said they were not prepared to leave.
In 2012, thousands of tonnes of rock, soil and trees slipped down the hillside behind the houses.
There have been two further landslides this year and there are fears that another could cause the houses to collapse.
Council bosses have said there was no immediate solution to the issue.
Deputy leader Anthony Taylor said the council was trying to re-house those affected.
Resident Paul Harris said there had been two landslides from the hillside behind his rented home earlier this year, but a survey had found no damage to his house.
He said: "Two days ago a letter arrived in the post telling me I had to move out immediately because there was an imminent risk of the house actually falling down."
Despite that warning, he said he felt safe and would not leave because he had only been offered alternative bed and breakfast accommodation but could not take his two dogs with him.
He said: "Maybe there is a real risk, I don't know."
"I think the council need to decide on a definite plan of action. They seem to be not really giving residents the information that's being requested," he added.
"If they knew that it was likely that they would have to do this, why wasn't accommodation organised earlier, why now?"
The homes affected are a mix of privately owned and rented accommodation and Mr Taylor told BBC's Good Morning Wales programme there had been problems in the area since the 1940s, due to the geology of the land.
He said further ground movement in February and June had identified new issues and engineers advised further slips were possible in bad weather.
Mr Taylor said it could spark rising ground water which could cause structural or sewerage problems in the 10 homes identified as at risk.
He admitted the situation could "go on for some time" and when asked if it could be indefinite, he replied "yes".
A council advice centre and hotline have been set up to support residents and Mr Taylor said its housing team was working with social landlords and other providers to find accommodation for those who needed it.
He said: "We have great sympathy for those residents involved and it's a very difficult time for them.
"We are working with the individual families, because each of them has their own set of circumstances, and we are working to find accommodation as close as possible to where they are."
The High Court in Mumbai dismissed arguments that treated sewage could be used to prepare pitches.
In parts of the state, water shortages are so acute that hospitals are being forced to cancel operations.
The ruling casts uncertainty over the latter part of the IPL tournament.
The final was due to have been played in the state capital Mumbai on 29 May.
The IPL attracts some of the world's top players and is one of the richest cricket leagues in the world. The Twenty20 matches are played annually in India and began on Saturday.
Parts of Maharashtra are enduring one of its worst droughts in 100 years.
Earlier the High Court criticised the Board of Control for Cricket in India along with the state government for not giving priority to ordinary people amid the growing demands for water.
The court on Wednesday ordered the games to be relocated despite promises made by the the Mumbai and Pune IPL teams to donate a substantial amount towards drought-relief measures.
Eight teams are participating in this year's tournament, with one report estimating that six million litres of water are needed for the upkeep of pitches in Maharashtra - in Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur.
The drought is taking place as a heat wave extends across much of northern India with temperatures exceeding 40C for several days in a row.
There is growing public concern over the lack of water in many parts of the state following two successive years of drought and crop failures.
In an unprecedented move earlier this week, a train carrying half a million litres of drinking water was sent to the worst affected area.
Last year, as many as 3,228 farmers in Maharashtra took their lives, the highest in the last 14 years, a government minister recently said. Many of the deaths were attributed to stress over crop failures.
Levels of anxiety in the community were heightened by headlines in Romania itself such as: "All Romanians to be kicked out of Britain after the referendum".
Many have felt increasingly vulnerable and disorientated, although the surge of xenophobic abuse directed at Poles has not been reported by Romanians.
Romanians tend to keep their heads down and are less likely to report such incidents, although there have been examples of children at school being told by classmates to go back to Romania.
The talk is of little else but Brexit among parents gathered at a Romanian Saturday school in north London, while their children aged four to 12 sing, dance and learn Romanian language and culture.
Gabriela Segal, who arrived in Britain in 2004. was shocked by the lack of awareness among her compatriots.
"On Friday at 8am, the day after the referendum, several people called and asked me: 'If I go on holiday now, will I be allowed back in when I return?' or 'Should I go to Israel to work because we can't work here anymore?' or 'We have relatives back in Romania, should we bring them here now?'".

Maria, who has lived in the UK for 10 years and is one of the many Romanian cleaners in London, is more philosophical.
"I am calm, I am not stressed out," she says. "I hope things continue to go well, so we can work and mind our own business.
"I want to stay here because in Romania I could not find any work at my age of 55. Not even youngsters can find work there, never mind people like me."
The north-west London suburb of Burnt Oak has become something of a Little Romania in recent years, widely pronounced as "Bontoc".
At his patisserie, businessman Ovidiu Sarpe, a 37-year veteran of the UK's Romanian community, is sanguine about the future.
"I don't see a great impact, although Romanians are scared. Once you have a National Insurance number, you have a job, you are a worker, you provide for your family here, you have children here, let us see who can kick you out" he said.
The Romanian community has been one of the fastest growing in the UK, reaching an estimated 223,000 in 2015, and more National Insurance numbers were issued to Romanians than any other nationality in the year to March. An NI number enables you to work and, potentially, claim benefits in the UK.
According to the Office for National Statistics, the number of Romanians in the UK was 128,000 in 2013, but that rose dramatically with the full opening of the UK labour market to Romanians and Bulgarians on 1 January 2014.
The growth in net migration for 2015 from EU countries came largely from Romanians and Bulgarians, and Romanians made up by far the biggest group of EU citizens requesting NI numbers in the past year.
The biggest job market for Romanian men is in construction and it is virtually impossible to pass a building site in London without hearing Romanian spoken.
Some argue that such building sites would grind to a halt without them. Equally, if the housing market stalls, many would risk losing their jobs, with a predicted knock-on effect on livelihoods.
Cristina Irimie, director of a recruitment agency for Romanians in north London, says that even after the 23 June referendum there has been strong demand for bricklayers and plumbers, but also for doctors or nurses.
And yet the fall of the pound has also made Britain less attractive for highly qualified professionals, including doctors.
Amid the anxiety and confusion at the north London Saturday school, organiser Veronica Costache retains some optimism.
"Brexit is a challenge and an opportunity. We must look at the positives. We have to finally improve our English, to sort out our papers and to improve ourselves," she says.
"There are so many courses for qualifications, there are so many opportunities the British state offers immigrants that we have to take advantage of them and acquire legal status."
The robots shoot out compressed air to cut through rust and old paint on the famous Australian landmark.
The exercise is billed as one of the world's biggest maintenance programmes.
Cleaning the bridge is considered dangerous, forcing workers into uncomfortable poses and bringing risk of exposure to asbestos and old paint.
The robots, which were developed at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), operate by scanning the area, creating a 3D map, and working out how much force they should apply using high-pressure cleaners to strip paint from the bridge.
"We now have two [operational], autonomous grit-blasting robots on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which is a world-first technology," Martin Lloyd from UTS said, adding that the blasters on the robots were powerful enough to slice through people's clothes and skin.
The operation is the result of a collaboration between the university and Australia's Roads and Maritime Service.
"The job [of cleaning the bridge] is very risky [for humans] - the bridge vibrates because of the traffic and it has complex geography - which is why we approached UTS to see if a machine could do this kind of work," Waruna Kaluarachchi from the Roads and Maritime Service said.
Nicknamed "The Coathanger" because of its distinctive shape, the bridge was opened in March 1932, the BBC's Phil Mercer in Sydney reports.
Repainting work is a never-ending task, and the two robots are to remain a permanent part of the maintenance team, our correspondent adds.
Michael Jones Jewellers was targeted for the fourth time in five years by a gang who smashed their way in with sledge-hammers on Tuesday morning.
They grabbed Rolex watches but fled when a security device discharged smoke in the shop.
One raider was then apprehended by a passer-by outside.
Stuart O'Grady, a director of the jewellers on High Street, said: "It was great to see. The British public are getting sick and tired on this going on."
The four raiders travelled down High Street on two mopeds as they targeted the jewellers at about 10:40 BST.
Mr O'Grady said: "These people are mindless - they rode down a pedestrianised area without any thought for the public.
"Two of them jumped off the mopeds with sledge-hammers and broke through the front door of the shop which is only unlocked for customers."
He added: "They grabbed a number of watches but we have a security device... which was deployed.
"It means you cannot see your hand in front of your face, that prompted them to run from the shop.
"Members of the public ripped the helmet off one of the men and the other was apprehended by three or four local people."
Mr O'Grady told how members of the public attempted to stop the other two members of the gang, who were waiting outside on mopeds, by throwing A-board signs at them.
"We want to thank everyone from the local community for their help - without doing what they did all four men would have got away," he said.
Mr O'Grady confirmed he and his staff were not threatened by the gang, but told of his frustration at the fourth raid in five years.
"We come to work to do a job but unfortunately the business we are in is classed as high risk," he said.
"We've had a loss of between £100,000 and £300,000 on the three previous occasions."
A 23-year-old London man has been charged with robbery in connection with the raid.
He was remanded in custody at Banbury Magistrates' Court, and is due to appear before Oxford Crown Court on 17 September.
A 21-year-old man from Essex was arrested on suspicion of robbery, and also of supplying drugs. A 25-year-old man from Banbury and 20-year-old man from London were also arrested on suspicion of robbery. All have been bailed until 21 October.
Keith was 12 when he was snatched in 1964 in Longsight, Manchester, by Ian Brady and his accomplice Myra Hindley and murdered on Saddleworth Moor.
Alan Bennett says the family will "keep pushing" to read the files so Keith "can have the burial he deserves".
Greater Manchester Police said the family is told about new developments.
Mr Bennett said: "We're quite willing to do anything we have to do to bring Keith home. It would help if we knew everything.
"I'm hoping they will allow us access."
Brady and Hindley murdered five children between 1963 and 1965.
The bodies of three of them were buried on Saddleworth Moor near Manchester, while one was found at Brady's home.
Keith was snatched by Brady as he made his way to his grandmother's house. His is the only body never to have been found.
The police said the search is in a "dormant phase", with only a major scientific breakthrough or significant piece of fresh evidence able to prompt a new search.
Martin Bottomley, who is head of the Cold Case Review Unit, said officers would be meeting with the family to "discuss any concerns".
He said: "Barely a week goes by when we do not receive some information which purports to lead us to Keith's burial site.
"All of these claims are investigated and it remains our aim to find Keith for the sake of his surviving family members."
Mr Bennett said: "Once we've got Keith back we can grieve.
"He can have the burial he deserves, rather than the burial he didn't deserve."
In 1987, after Brady and Hindley admitted killing Keith and 16-year-old Pauline Reade from Crumpsall, they were taken back to Saddleworth Moor by detectives to find the bodies but only Pauline's remains were found.
Brady and Hindley also killed John Kilbride, 12, and Lesley Ann Downey, 10, as well as Edward Evans, 17.
It can create thin sheets of beating cells that researchers hope they can use to patch-up pieces of damaged heart.
The need is huge. Heart attacks may no longer be a death sentence, but as more people survive them it means more are living with a damaged heart.
When a bit of heart muscle dies it is replaced by tough scars, just as it does after you cut your leg. But scar tissue does not beat, so it can leave the heart struggling to pump blood. In some cases it can make even the simplest of tasks as exhausting as running a marathon.
It is for this reason that British Heart Foundation researchers are trying to develop the patches. The thin sheets of heart cells could be layered onto the heart to help it beat or maybe even sprayed directly onto scar tissue inside the heart.
In a windowless laboratory in the heart of London a mechanical engineer, Dr Suwan Jayasinghe, has assembled the pieces of the bio-electric sprayer.
First a syringe is filled with heart cells. In the future it is thought these cells could be taken from a patient's heart and grown or a patient's stem cells could be converted into heart cells.
These are then passed through a needle. However, unlike a graffiti artist's spray can, this is not enough to get the thin accurate spray of cells needed to build the heart tissue.
Instead 10,000 volts going through the needle create an electric field to control the cells.
"You get the formation of a fine jet which then breaks up into a myriad of droplets and those droplets are what form the sheet," said Dr Jayasinghe.
"The beautiful thing is that we can add various other cell types into this cell suspension and create three dimensional cardiac tissues that are fully functional."
Under a microscope it is then possible to see the cells beating in the patch. The next test is to see if the patches can actually help a damaged heart to beat, by testing them in animals.
Researcher Dr Anastasis Stephanou said: "Hopefully we can show that these engineered cardiac sheets improve the function of a damaged heart.
"What we're hoping in the long term is to use this technology to actually repair the damaged heart so the patients wont have to wait long-term for a donor heart.
"A heart is made up of different cell types, so we would be able to design the technology where we would be able to place the right number of cell types to develop the actual cardiac tissue.
"So we feel the technology we have is quite superior in terms of the other cardiac tissue engineering technologies that are available."
Professor Peter Weissberg, medical director at the British Heart Foundation which funds the research, said: "Creating heart muscle is a huge challenge and involves a mix of different cells and blood vessels that need to line-up perfectly with one another.
"This groundbreaking research is trying to find a way to build 'pieces of the heart' outside the body. We hope that one day these pieces can be grafted onto damaged hearts to help them pump more strongly again.
"This research could offer hope to the 750,000 people living with heart failure in the UK."

The end of the Union of Serbia and Montenegro marked the closing chapter in the history of the separation of the six republics of the old Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia which was proclaimed in 1945 and comprised Serbia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia.
Under Yugoslavia's authoritarian communist leader, Josip Broz Tito, the lid was kept on ethnic tensions. The federation lasted for over 10 years after his death in 1980, but under Serbian nationalist leader Slobodan Milosevic it fell apart through the 1990s.
The secession of Slovenia and Macedonia came relatively peacefully, but there were devastating wars in Croatia and Bosnia. Serbia and Montenegro together formed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia between 1992 and 2003.

President: Tomislav Nikolic
Pro-EU nationalist Tomislav Nikolic beat the liberal Democratic Party incumbent Boris Tadic in the second round of the presidential election of 2012, confounding expectations.
Mr Nikolic founded the Progressive Party in 2008 as a break-away from the hard-line nationalist and anti-Nato Radical Party, in order to move closer to the centre ground, adopt a pro-EU course and distance nationalists from associations with the Milosevic era of war crimes and xenophobia.
The new party campaigned against unemployment, inflation and corruption to become the largest party at parliamentary elections in May 2012, building on this to achieve Mr Nikolic's win in the presidential vote a few weeks later.
Prime minister: Aleksandar Vucic
Aleksandar Vucic became prime minister after his pro-EU nationalist Progressive Party won a landslide victory in early parliamentary elections in March 2014.
On coming to power, Mr Vucic pledged a radical overhaul of Serbia's ailing economy and an accelerated drive towards EU membership.
The reforms would include squeezing the public sector, reforming the budget, privatising state-owned companies and expanding the private sector.
The new prime minister won popularity by promising to combat endemic corruption and widespread hardship.
He called early elections in April 2016, seeking a renewed mandate to push through the reforms required to join the EU, and again won a comfortable majority.
Television is, by far, the main source of news and information. The flagship public network, RTS1, is among a handful of outlets that dominate the market.
There are more than 90 TV channels and the average viewer spends more than five hours a day watching television, the highest figure in Europe.
Six TV stations are licensed to broadcast nationally; 30 have regional licences. The national TV broadcasters attract around 70 per cent of the audience.
RTS1 is the most popular channel in Serbia, attracting up to a quarter of the audience and providing strong competition for commercial stations, including leading commercial network TV Pink.
Some key dates in Serbia's history:
1389 - Serb nobility decimated in battle of Kosovo Polje as Ottoman Empire expands.
15th - 18th centuries - Serbia absorbed by Ottoman Empire.
1817 - Serbia becomes autonomous principality.
1878 - Serbian independence recognised by international treaties.
1918 - Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes formed after World War I.
1929 - Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes renamed Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
1945 - Together with Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro, Serbia becomes one of republics in new Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia under Josip Broz Tito.
1980 - Tito dies.
1989 - Slobodan Milosevic becomes President of Serbia.

But they must win at Munster next Saturday and hope Ulster cannot beat Ospreys to clinch a play-off place.
Scott Williams marked his return from injury with a try while Steven Shingler, Steffan Evans and Gareth Davies also crossed.
Adam Warren and Adam Hughes crossed for the Dragons.
The west Wales region are only a point behind fourth-placed Ulster with one round of fixtures left.
The match did not live up to the Ospreys' 40-27 win over Cardiff Blues in the first of the double-header games. But the six tries meant the record Principality Stadium crowd of 68,262 for the event's fourth edition enjoyed 14 touchdowns.
Scarlets were 14-0 ahead in as many minutes, with Williams crossing after a break by Michael Collins and Shingler taking advantage of slack defending to dive over between the posts.
The Dragons, with nothing but pride to lay for, looked off the pace until Warren scored after Rynard Landman charged down a Shingler kick.
From then until half-time it was a kicking contest between O'Brien and Shingler, with a yellow card for Scarlets prop Peter Edwards to provide a little variety as it led to uncontested scrums with Samson Lee injured.
It took Scarlets five minutes after the restart to stretch their lead through Evans, though Hughes' sharp finish kept Dragons within one score.
Replacement scrum-half Gareth Davies underlined his try-scoring reputation when he claimed the bonus point score six minutes from the end, with Shingler's conversion giving him a 19-point haul.
On a day when Wales captain Sam Warburton suffered a shoulder injury, national coach Warren Gatland will have further worries after Scarlets tight-head Lee's blow to the head.
Dragons: Carl Meyer, Adam Hughes, Adam Warren, Jack Dixon, Hallam Amos, Angus O'Brien, Charlie Davies; Phil Price, Elliot Dee, Brok Harris, Rynard Landman, Nick Crosswell, Lewis Evans (capt), Nic Cudd, Taulupe Faletau.
Replacements: Rhys Buckley, Luke Garrett. Lloyd Fairbrother, Matthew Screech, Ed Jackson, Sarel Pretorius, Dorian Jones, Geraint Rhys Jones.

But his whirlwind trip to Belgium was born of necessity. He needs cooperation and support from the European institutions if his renegotiation is to succeed.
European Parliament President Martin Schulz promised a constructive approach if Britain were to vote to remain in the EU. But parts of the proposed UK deal need changes to be made to EU legislation - including regulations on welfare payments and social security.
Downing Street said senior lawmakers promised to act as swiftly as possible. But Mr Schulz said no parliament could guarantee in advance what the outcome would be.
"This is not possible in a democracy," he said.
Fair enough, but that will allow David Cameron's opponents to chip away at the idea that this proposed deal is set in stone. It is an argument that will recur throughout the referendum campaign.
And it is by no means the only potential obstacle that has been highlighted over the past couple of days. The deal itself is still to be done.
Four eastern European countries - Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic (known as the V4) - are demanding that reductions in child benefit payments only apply to new applicants, not to their citizens who are already in the UK.
Prime Minister Cameron has already had to back away from what he has called for in the past - an outright abolition of all child benefit for foreign nationals with children living abroad. Now he is being asked to give even more.
On a visit to the Czech Republic, the European Council President Donald Tusk, said there was still a lot of talking to do.
"The position of the V4 is very clear," he said. "In view of that I have no doubts: There is an extra mile we will have to walk to reach an agreement."
Then of course there are still unresolved issues with France and others over language in the proposed deal that sets out the relationship between countries that use the euro and those that don't.
Much of it involves quite technical but extremely important financial detail.
One clear positive for David Cameron is that no-one wants these negotiations to drag on, and a deal still seems the most likely outcome of this week's EU summit.
But the prime minister is already under attack from critics who say he hasn't achieved enough. So any sense that his proposed deal could be watered down still further could be difficult for him to accept.

They say restoring near-normal hearing in the animals paves the way for similar treatments for people "in the near future".
Studies, published in Nature Biotechnology, corrected errors that led to the sound-sensing hairs in the ear becoming defective.
The researchers used a synthetic virus to nip in and correct the defect.
"It's unprecedented, this is the first time we've seen this level of hearing restoration," said researcher Dr Jeffrey Holt, from Boston Children's Hospital.
About half of all forms of deafness are due to an error in the instructions for life - DNA.
In the experiments at Boston Children's Hospital, Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School, the mice had a genetic disorder called Usher syndrome.
It means there are inaccurate instructions for building microscopic hairs inside the ear.
In healthy ears, sets of outer hair cells magnify sound waves and inner hair cells then convert sounds to electrical signals that go to the brain.
The hairs normally form these neat V-shaped rows.
But in Usher syndrome they become disorganised - severely affecting hearing.
The researchers developed a synthetic virus that was able to "infect" the ear with the correct instructions for building hair cells.
Experiments showed that once profoundly deaf mice could hear sounds down to 25 decibels - about the volume of a whisper.
Dr Gwenaelle Geleoc told the BBC: "We were extremely surprised to see such a level of rescue, and we're really pleased with what we have achieved."
There are about 100 different types of genetic defect that can cause hearing loss. A different therapy would be needed for each one.
Dr Holt told the BBC News website: "We've really gotten a good understanding of the basic science, of the biology of the inner ear, and now we're at the point of being able to translate that knowledge and apply it to human patients in the very near future."
One of the big questions will be whether the synthetic virus is safe.
It was based on adeno-associated virus, which has already been used in other forms of gene therapy.
The researchers also want to prove the effect is long-lasting - they know it works for at least six months.
There are also questions about the "window of opportunity". While the therapy worked in mice treated at birth, it failed when given just 10 days later.
Dr Ralph Holme, the director of research at Action on Hearing Loss, said: "This research is very encouraging.
"However, there is a concern that delivering this gene therapy at birth to babies with Usher may be too late [as the ears are more developed in people than mice by birth].
"The technology may be better suited to treating more progressive forms of hearing loss."

But perching just 28ft (8.5m) from certain doom, her home at Happisburgh in Norfolk brings a whole new meaning to living on the edge.
Great chunks of land have fallen around her beloved house since she moved to erosion-hit Beach Road five years ago.
But this winter has really taken its toll, and for the first time the retired teacher and grandmother-of-six has to admit she is starting to feel "threatened" and "frightened" by the creeping coastline.
"I work on the assumption that if the house becomes seriously unsafe that my cats with their uncanny perceptions will yowl and not want to be in the house, but I'm told that I'm wrong on this and cats can equally well fall over cliffs," said Ms Nierop-Reading.
"But I do feel threatened now because of the rate at which it is going on the corner. I'm frightened sometimes, which I haven't been up until now."
A year ago virtually all of Ms Nierop-Reading's neighbours moved out after taking compensation from the council.
However, £53,000 was not enough to sway her, and she is now the last permanent resident living on the crumbling cliff top.
Erosion has threatened north Norfolk's idyll landscape for centuries, with communities such as Whimpwell and most of Eccles now consigned to historical records.
But now it is Happisburgh's turn, and after a recent clear-up on the beach below, Ms Nierop-Reading reckons she only has about three years left before she is forced to go.
"It's actually getting very serious," she said.
"Unfortunately North Norfolk District Council took away all the unsightly stuff at the corner on the beach and the revetments, which although damaged broke the force of the waves. So I am now being put under threat diagonally from the East.
"I lost a largish chunk - about 10ft - about two or three months ago. On March 4th I was shining the torch along the next remaining bit of fence to show people what was there. The next morning, I looked out of my window and the next section of fencing was falling over the cliff.
"On the 13th the cliff was up to the next fencepost, so it's going very, very fast."
But the 1930s timber-framed bungalow has become more than just a home for Ms Nierop-Reading. It has become her platform for protest, believing successive governments have failed to fully address the threat of the sea.
Recent Environment Agency statistics show about 200 properties in England are vulnerable to coastal erosion, with 2,000 predicted to become vulnerable over the next 20 years.
Current government policy states it is not possible to prevent all areas from erosion, but "action is being taken to manage the risks and reduce its impact".
But despite the risks - having that sea view day-in, day-out is what Ms Nierop-Reading says will keep her going right until the very end.
"I've had windows broken by the wind hurling things at me and I've definitely got tiles off the roof. When the wind is blowing and gusting furiously I can feel the house actually lifting slightly as it gets underneath.
"There are ripples going across my glass of water beside my bed and the glass in the windows bows - that's frightening.
"I knew one day I'd go, but what I'm more concerned about is the fact that we still have this stupid piecemeal policy right round the coast and there is no political will at a high level to save the coastline.
"But it doesn't put me off. I call it my 'million dollar' view. People say, 'Why didn't you take the £53,000 I was offered and run?'. My view is worth infinitely more than that.
"Either that or I'm just plain stupid. Take your pick."
Regulated fares such as season tickets are pegged to Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation in July, which was 1%.
Rail fares have risen nearly three times faster than wages in the UK over the past five years, analysis has suggested.
But rail minister Claire Perry said the government's plans would put an end to "inflation-busting fare increases".
A study by the TUC suggested regulated fare prices jumped 25% between 2010 and 2015, while average pay rose 9% over the same period.
Rail unions are campaigning for train lines to be run by the public sector, which they say will cut prices.
Regulated fares cover about half of all tickets sold, including season tickets and day returns.
The government had already announced that regulated rail fares in England would rise by no more than RPI inflation for this parliament.
A restriction limiting increases in these fares to RPI inflation has been in place for the past two years, during the latter years of the coalition government.
"Next year's fares will see some of the lowest increases for decades," said rail minister Claire Perry.
Speaking to Radio 5 live, she said that the 1% rise in fares from January "is actually a real-terms freeze".
She added: "With the economy recovering, and wages recovering, for the first time in over a decade you'll actually see wage growth outstripping any change in rail fares."
But TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said many commuters were "seriously out of pocket" because of the sharp rise in fares.
"If ministers really want to help hard-pressed commuters, they need to return services to the public sector.
"It would allow much bigger savings to be passed on to passengers," she added.
Action for Rail - the TUC and rail union-led campaign pushing to bring the railways back into public ownership - maintains that £1.5bn could be saved over the next five years if routes, including the Northern, Transpennine and West Coast Main Line, were returned to the public sector.
A third of this would come from recouping the money that private train firms pay in dividends to shareholders, according to Action for Rail, which commissioned the research from transport consultancy Transport for Quality of Life.
The analysis comes as a separate report from transport charity Campaign for Better Transport found the UK lagged behind the rest of Europe on flexible rail tickets.
Currently, season ticket holders only save if they use their tickets for five out of seven days, but it said shorter season tickets, such as four- or three-day-a-week tickets, would enable part-time commuters to make savings as well.
"The UK government and train operators are dragging their feet, meaning many part-time workers are being priced off the railway," said the charity's public transport campaigner, Martin Abrams.
Al-Shabab leader Ahmed Abdi Godane, known as Mukhtar Abu Zubair, said he "pledged obedience" to al-Qaeda head Ayman al-Zawahiri.
The two groups have long worked together and foreigners are known to fight alongside Somali militants.
The announcement comes as al-Shabab is under pressure on several fronts.
Is al-Shabab on the back foot?Profile: Ayman al-ZawahiriQ&A: Who are al-Shabab?'Lifeline' US-Somalia remittances on hold
Africa Union troops supporting the forces of the UN-backed government have taken control of the capital, Mogadishu, while both Kenya and Ethiopia have sent forces into Somalia to push back the Islamists.
Al-Shabab, however, still controls many southern and central areas of the country.
However, correspondents say al-Shabab's policy of banning many foreign aid agencies from areas it controls during the region's worst drought in 60 years has lost the group some of its popular support.
The United Nations says that although the famine in Somalia is officially over, a third of the population still needs urgent feeding.
BBC Somali editor Yusuf Garaad Omar says the merger of al-Shabab and al-Qaeda has the potential to change the dynamics of the conflict in Somalia.
During the 15-minute Arabic-language video posted on jihadist websites, Zawahiri said the move was "good news" for al-Qaeda.
Analysts say the announcement helps boost al-Qaeda after its leader Osama Bin Laden was killed last year.
"Al-Qaeda needs to project power and influence, particularly given its own operational impotence," Australian analyst Leah Farrall told Reuters news agency.
"Al-Shabab's acceptance under the al-Qaeda umbrella probably came with permission from Zawahiri for the group to launch external operations against the West."
This week, the London-based Royal United Services Institute think-tank warned that about 50 Britons were training with al-Shabab and could return to attack the UK.
Last week, William Hague was also in Mogadishu, the first visit by a British foreign secretary in 20 years.
The UK government is holding a conference in London on 23 February to try to find a political solution to Somalia's problems, and tackle piracy and extremism.
Somalia has been without an effective central government since 1991 and since then, has been convulsed by conflict.
Merton council approved an application to develop the greyhound stadium site in Plough Lane last year, but neighbouring Wandsworth objected.
A new consultation will take place, with a final decision due later this year.
Labour's mayoral contender Sadiq Khan has opposed the plans.
Wimbledon chief executive Erik Samuelson said he was "disappointed".
In December, Wandsworth Council's planning chair called on the Mayor to step in, saying the plans for a 20,000-seater stadium, leisure centre and 602 flats would have a "serious and adverse" impact in Wandsworth, especially in Earlsfield and Tooting.
Councillor Sarah McDermott cited fears that local hospital and GP services would be oversubscribed, and that the planned on-site supermarket would threaten local shops.
She also had concerns about parking and transport.
"We are certainly not opposed to the site being developed, nor to it being used for a football ground and to provide new homes," she said.
"But we are opposed to this specific application because in our view it simply does not properly address or offer any solutions to the problems it will create in the area."
Mr Khan, who holds the nearby Tooting constituency, also objected to the plans last year.
Mr Samuelson said the club "would immediately set about understanding the detailed reasons for the Mayor's decision".
"While this is a setback, the story is not over," he added.
"We have made a very strong case for the application and we will do so again. We remain confident that we will be successful, albeit after some delay to our aspirations."
Wimbledon FC left its original home at Plough Lane in 1991 because legislation demanded all-seater stadiums. It shared Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park before moving to Milton Keynes.
Many fans protested against the move and decided to form AFC Wimbledon as a non-League club. It rose back to league status and currently plays at Kingsmeadow in Kingston-upon-Thames.
The forthcoming closure of the Wimbledon dog track - the last greyhound stadium with a London postcode - was recently described as a "crime against happiness" by the Racing Post.
A team from Newcastle University decided to test the theory that people behave better when they think they are being watched.
For two years they studied crime rates at campus racks and found a drop of 62% at those which displayed eye posters.
The crime-fighting idea is now being tested at various train stations by British Transport Police (BTP).
For the first year the Newcastle team monitored bike thefts from all racks across campus for a control figure, then placed the eye signs in three locations, leaving the rest of the racks without signs.
The idea for the research was inspired by a 2010 study which showed diners in a canteen were more likely to clear away their tray when there were eyes watching them.
Academics found that bike racks which had eyes placed above them experienced 62% fewer thefts than the previous year, while those without eyes saw thefts increase by 63%.
Lead researcher Prof Daniel Nettle, said: "We don't know exactly what is happening here but this just adds to the growing evidence that images of eyes can have a big impact on behaviour.
"We think that the presence of eye images can encourage co-operative behaviour. One strong possibility is that the images of eyes work by making people feel watched.
"We care what other people think about us, and as a result we behave better when we feel we are being observed."
Barry Sharp, from BTP's London North Area Crime Team, said: "Research shows that this sign has had some promising results at Newcastle University.
"We are always looking at new ways to tackle cycle theft at rail stations."
The findings have been published in the journal PLoS ONE.
The 20-year-old, who spent time with Eastleigh and Billericay Town last season, was released by Scottish Premiership side Rangers last summer.
"I took a gamble and moved to Rangers under Mark Warburton, which was a great experience, but I didn't make a first-team start," he told the club website.
"I want to settle at a club now and establish myself."

Wigan, the 26-year-old's former club, have first refusal to sign him.
Tomkins says he has not agreed a deal with any side, but has confirmed he will not be switching codes to union.
"I'm definitely going to be in Super League, I can say that. I can't say exactly where because I've not put pen to paper," he told BBC Radio 5 live.

Tomkins had previously hinted he would be keen try rugby union at some point in his career.
He played a game in the 15-man code for the Barbarians against Australia in 2013, while his older brother Joel spent three years at Premiership side Saracens before returning to Wigan last season.
But Tomkins, who cited homesickness as his main reason for wanting to return to England, will remain in rugby league and Wigan are strong favourites to sign him.
"Everyone's going to think that's going to happen, aren't they?" added Tomkins when asked about a move back to the Warriors. "That was predictable that everyone would assume that.
"It's one of those where I can't say anything until I do sign somewhere and it will all be out of the way.
"Once it gets released it will be a lot easier for me wherever I am," continued Tomkins. "I don't think the announcement will take too long and hopefully it will be out of the way, not only for me but for people asking questions."
Before his move to the National Rugby League at the end of 2013, Tomkins scored 144 tries in 152 appearances for Wigan after coming through their youth system and was voted Super League's Man of Steel in 2012.
If he returns to Wigan, he will part of a squad that also includes two of his brothers - forward Joel, 28, and hooker Logan, 22.
Meanwhile, Salford owner Marwan Koukash has said he would back any move for Tomkins if Red Devils head coach Iestyn Harris wanted to sign him.
Salford failed with a bid for the England back, who can also play stand-off.
Writing in his column in the Manchester Evening News, Koukash said: "I am pleased it looks as if Sam Tomkins is coming back to Super League and if Iestyn wants him, then we will go for him.
"It is down to the coach, we will back him to the hilt."
Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele has also been charged with an alleged act of violent conduct during the 2-2 draw.
The FA said Dembele's alleged eye-gouge on Diego Costa is more serious than a normal charge of violent conduct.
That means a three-game ban "is clearly insufficient" if he is found guilty.
Dembele, 28, has until 18:00 BST on Thursday to respond to the charge, while Chelsea and Tottenham have until 18:00 on Monday.
There were 12 yellow cards during the match, which saw two mass brawls, as Tottenham's hopes of winning the Premier League were ended.

Spurs needed to beat Chelsea to retain hopes of winning the title but lost a two-goal lead, which meant Leicester were crowned champions for the first time in their history.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino stepped on to the pitch at one point to separate Spurs defender Danny Rose and Chelsea's Willian, and at full-time Rose was also involved in an incident that resulted in Blues boss Guus Hiddink being pushed to the floor.
Referee Mark Clattenburg did not punish Dembele for his actions but television replays appeared to show the Belgian putting his fingers in Costa's eye during a first-half skirmish.
An FA statement said: "Off-the-ball incidents which are not seen at the time by the match officials are referred to a panel of three former elite referees.
"Each referee panel member will review the video footage independently of one another to determine whether they consider it a sending-off offence."For retrospective action to be taken, and an FA charge to follow, the decision of the panel must be unanimous."

PC Gareth Browning was on foot in Whitley, Reading, in November 2013 when he was hit by a black Mazda driven by Luke Hayward.
Hayward was jailed for nine years in 2014 for causing grievous bodily harm with intent and dangerous driving.
PC Browning, who was medically retired, died on Saturday aged 36.
Thames Valley Police said following PC Browning's death it would liaise with the coroner and Crown Prosecution Service.
Chief Constable Francis Habgood described his former officer as "hugely respected".
He said he had needed "constant care" following the crash.
"Our thoughts are with Gareth's family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time," he added.
"We continue to support Gareth's family as well as staff and officers who have been affected."
TJ Lane, 19, was recaptured early on Friday. Local police tweeted "We got him... one more to go."
Lane is serving three life sentences after pleading guilty to the murders in Chardon High School in February 2012.
Two other inmates escaped in the same incident, including 45-year-old convicted robber Clifford Opperud.
Details of how the men escaped from the Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution have not been released, but local media reported they scaled a fence during a recreation break.
At around 02:00 local time (06:00 GMT) the Lima Police Department confirmed that "Thomas Michael 'TJ' Lane III is in custody. He has been returned to the prison."
Lane was armed with a pitchfork when he was recaptured, unconfirmed reports quoting police said.
The mother of one of Lane's victims earlier said she was fearful when she heard the news of his escape.
"I'm disgusted that it happened. I'm extremely scared and panic-stricken. I can't believe it", said Dina Parmertor, whose son Daniel, 16, was among the dead.
Clifford Opperud, who was serving a sentence for aggravated robbery, burglary and kidnapping, was caught at around 04:20 local time (08:20 GMT), police said.
A third inmate briefly escaped before being recaptured, police spokesman Andy Green said.
Lane pleaded guilty last year to three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault.
He used a .22-calibre pistol to fire 10 shots at a group of students in Chardon High School's cafeteria, killing Demetrius Hewlin, 16, and Russell King, 17, as well as Daniel Parmertor.
Three others were wounded in the attack, which took place when Lane was 17.
Despite evidence he suffered psychosis and hallucinations, he was found competent to be tried as an adult.
During his trial, Lane smirked and smiled as victims' relatives spoke. During his sentencing he wore a T-shirt with the word "Killer" written on it.
The graveyard was cordoned off at Annagry, a Gaeltacht village in the west of the county, during the investigation.
The police operation was in conjunction with the coroner's office.
The purpose of the investigation is not yet clear.
South Wales Police was called to a house on Ynyswen Road, Treorchy, at about 11:10 BST on Tuesday.
A man and woman, both aged 77, were found dead at the property.
Det Ch Insp Mark Lewis said: "The cause of their deaths has not yet been established and we are investigating the circumstances at present. "
A plane carrying a banner reading: 'Kenwright & Co #time to go NSNO,' flew over St Mary's Stadium during Everton's 3-0 win at Southampton on Saturday.
"I just heard about it," Martinez said afterwards. "I never saw it.
"We need to be together, help each other and push in the same direction because that makes a difference."
The Toffees supporters who organised the protest are from newly formed group '@EvertonBoardOUT', plus 'The Blue Union' and fan website 'School of Science'.
They are unhappy with the level of the investment in the team and the direction of the club under the current regime.
The slogan 'NSNO' on the plane's banner refers to the club's Latin motto of 'Nil satis nisi optimum' which translates to mean 'Nothing but the best is good enough'.
School of Science editor Joe Jennings told the Daily Mirror on Friday: "The time has come for Bill Kenwright to accept that his performance as chairman has been unacceptable and to let go of the club."
But Martinez gave his backing to Kenwright, who has been on the club's board since 1989 and chairman since 1999.
After seeing his side see off Saints with an impressive away performance, Martinez added: "I will never shy away: we are a big club, we've got a big history and an incredible expectation.
"But as a manager and as football players we understand that, we embrace those expectations and the way to get everyone excited and happy is performing in the manner we did on the pitch.
"The chairman is an incredible Evertonian, who has done a fantastic job over the years. Only he knows the effort he had to put in for the football club."
World number 43 Evans took a final-set tie-break against Thiago Monteiro to triumph 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 7-6 (7-2).
The 26-year-old's only two previous wins on the surface at tour level came in Davis Cup dead rubbers.
Edmund, the world number 42, brushed aside Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 6-3 6-4 and faces Austria's Dominic Thiem next.
Evans will play Mischa Zverev, who beat Andy Murray at this year's Australian Open, in the second round.
His most recent Davis Cup win on clay came earlier this month as GB lost to France in the quarter-finals.
He was outplayed by Chardy in his first Davis Cup singles rubber, before beating Julien Benneteau as the match descended into chaos.
Much of the build-up to the tie focused on Evans' inexperience on clay, and dislike for the surface.
British number two Edmund, who also lost to Chardy in the singles at the Davis Cup, exacted revenge on the world number 70 with a straight-set victory in Barcelona.
The process to replace Kathryn Stone has been plagued with problems.
Alex Bunting, who lost a leg in an IRA bomb attack, said he would only believe the long wait for an appointment was over "when they announce it on television".
"We do need someone asap, because if we don't get them as soon as possible its going to get worse for victims," he told BBC NI's The View.
"They've told us about three times over this past year they were going to get someone appointed very soon and we're still waiting.
"I know the process is finished in this round. This is the second round of interviews for a commissioner. I have to say the say I'll believe it is the day they announce it on television."
In January, First Minister Peter Robinson told the assembly the first round had failed to produce a winner and there had been "a disappointingly small pool of appointable candidates".
However, it is understood two people were judged to be appointable, but not appropriate for the role.
Mr Robinson said the salary for the post may have to be increased. It was re-advertised more widely and a second round of interviews was conducted in May.
A spokesperson for the Office of the First and Deputy First Minister said the process was at "an advanced stage" and they hoped to make an announcement shortly.
The hiatus has caused a problem for the Victims Forum. Several members have left without being replaced because that can only be done by a commissioner.
The secretary to the Victims Commission, John Beggs, has been carrying out the role on an interim basis but said the situation had been "extremely difficult."
"We have been able to get on with our research on victims issues," he said.
"We've been able to get on with our engagement with individuals and groups, [but] to bring that to a culmination we really need a commissioner to consider that advice and take it directly to ministers; to take it directly to government and to make sure it is acted upon and that is the missing part of the equation as it stands.
"I can't give opinion and commentary as a victims commissioner could under their legal authority, so in many ways a lot of the work we are doing goes unseen and unheard in the media and in the sector and that is very frustrating for us in the commission, particularly at a time when there are so many victims issue in the press and in the media."
The failure to appoint has been criticised by two former victims commissioners, Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt and Patricia MacBride.
Mr Nesbitt said Stormont was in danger of losing all credibility because it could not make difficult decisions.
Ms MacBride said it was "appalling" that victims and survivors were being put in a position where they were having to "fight their own battles" to get the help they needed.

Energy and Climate Change Secretary Amber Rudd said measures to curb rising temperatures are about ensuring economic security.
She also sought to redress the view that green policies are "left-wing".
But Friends of the Earth have accused the Conservatives of "dismantling" 10 years' worth of low-carbon policies.
Ms Rudd is treading a difficult line - Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to lead the world to a climate change deal at a summit in Paris in November.
But Chancellor George Osborne has announced a slew of policy changes which will increase UK emissions.
In recent weeks he has scrapped subsidies for onshore wind and commercial solar - the two cheapest forms of clean energy.
He has also slashed the energy efficiency budget, ended the tax break for clean cars, abolished rules on zero carbon housing, lowered taxes on polluting firms and introduced a tax on clean energy.
Environmental organisation Friends of the Earth said Mr Cameron was "sticking up two fingers" to nations at the French climate summit.
Ms Rudd has to defend the position of both her bosses - and repel those commentators on the political right who believe climate change is not a problem at all.
"It cannot be left to one part of the political spectrum to dictate the solution - and some of the loudest voices have approached the issue from a left-wing perspective," she said.
"So I can understand the suspicion of those who see climate action as some sort of cover for anti-growth, anti-capitalist, proto-socialism.
"But it was Margaret Thatcher who first put climate change on the international agenda. She (said) 'the danger of global warming is real enough for us to make changes and sacrifices, so that we do not live at the expense of future generations.' I agree."
Ms Rudd insisted that the Conservatives' approach was to devise policies to stimulate low carbon businesses and get them off subsidy as soon as possible to keep bills down.
Industry bodies say the government's recent sudden changes to low-carbon policies have created mass uncertainty for investors.
But Ms Rudd said: "The Conservatives are committed to action on climate change and we are clear that our long-term economic plan goes hand in hand with a long-term plan for climate action.
"Climate action is about security, plain and simple - economic security.
"The economic impact of unchecked climate change would be profound. Lower growth, higher prices, a lower quality of life. It is the ultimate insurance policy."
Craig Bennett, head of Friends of the Earth, told BBC News: "This is grotesque hypocrisy from a government that has spent the past few weeks dismantling an architecture of low-carbon policies carefully put together with cross-party agreement over the course of two parliaments.
"They have swept it all away without signalling their intent in their manifesto. They have no mandate for this - it's David Cameron sticking up two fingers to other nations at the climate conference in Paris. Unbelievable."
John Sauven, head of Greenpeace, agreed.
"We are deeply shocked by the vandalism of the government which appears to be driven totally by ideology.
"Their policies will not lead to the low-carbon society they claim they want… they are destroying the UK renewables industry just at the point where it's almost competitive - it's madness.
"We are moving since the election from the 'greenest government ever' to the greyest government ever."
The CBI recently warned that the government's changes were creating massive uncertainty and risking inwards investment into the UK.
But Ms Rudd insisted: "Governments can set the direction, set the vision, set the ambition. We can create the framework, create the rules, provide the support, predictability and stability needed.
"But that support must help technologies eventually stand on their own two feet, not encourage a permanent reliance on subsidy."
The libertarian climate blogger Andrew Montford applauded the government's policy shifts.
He told BBC News: "The environmental and human cost of futile gestures like windfarms and biofuels could not have stopped soon enough.
"This rare glimpse of energy policy sanity in Westminster should be followed by a long hard look at serious low-carbon solutions like modular nuclear reactors."
The UK's policy changes, though, are being noticed internationally.
Previously the UK Climate Change Act has been regarded as a world-leading climate policy but critics say that accolade is now seriously in doubt.
They ask if a country as rich as the UK finds clean energy unaffordable, what hope is there for most of the rest of the world?

Organisers of the East of England Show, expected to take place in Peterborough in July, said 10,000 people attended last year, 50% fewer than expected.
The show "became disconnected from its agricultural roots" organisers the East of England Agricultural Society said.
A spokesman said local people had "voted with their feet".
Chief executive of the society, Jeremy Staples, said: "It was a very difficult decision to make.
"The show had been losing money for a number of years but more importantly, attendance figures had dropped dramatically over the last 20 years."
At its height of popularity the show would have attracted about 100,000 people, he added.
"Last year's show took four months to put on and with fewer than 10,000 people, it clearly wasn't appealing to the local population," Mr Staples said.
The 2012 show was dogged by wet weather which may have been a contributing factor, he admitted.
"There has been a move away from traditional agricultural shows - demonstrating new materials and techniques - so farming people no longer come, and shows such as the East of England have slightly lost their way."
Participants were informed about the cancellation before Christmas, and there will be no job losses as a result of the decision, Mr Staples confirmed.
"We've decided now to go back to our roots, to educate people about farming and rural life. We have 4,000 children coming on 5 July and we have a really good kids' programme we're developing throughout the year," he said.
"We see this as a very positive step."
The 29-year-old netted Barcelona's first in a 2-1 win over Sevilla.
That took Messi to 500 in 592 games for the Catalan club, including friendlies, with 469 of those in official fixtures.
Messi is now 105 goals clear of second all-time top scorer Paulino Alcantara, who played for Barcelona in two spells between 1912 and 1927.
In April, the forward scored his 500th career goal, including internationals, in Barcelona's 2-1 defeat by Valencia.
Messi's first senior goal for the La Liga club came as a 17-year-old against Albacete in May 2005.
The Argentine has now scored 320 goals in Spain's top flight, to add to his 90 in the Champions League.
The rest of Messi's official Barcelona goals have come in Spanish cup competitions, the Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup.
He broke Barcelona's goals scored in official matches record - previously held by Cesar Rodriguez, who played for the club in the 1940s and 1950s - in 2012.
Filho succeeds Belgium-born Congolese Joe Tshupula who announced his resignation after the African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers where Mauritius failed to reach the next round.
Filho's main task will be to prepare the national team for the Indian Ocean Islands games, scheduled in Mauritius in 2019.
A lot remains to be done in Mauritius especially at technical level
"I have noticed that there is a great willingness to learn and improve here in Mauritius," Filho said.
"It is most important. You have to learn the basics, and then climb the ladder step by step."
Last February, Filho shared his knowledge for a week with some 30 coaches and aspiring coaches in Mauritius and made a great impression.
"A lot remains to be done in Mauritius especially at technical level.
"In football, the most important thing is technique whereas the physical part comes next.
"Above all, with these youngsters, we must make them footballers before we make them athletes.
"We must promote the skill and execution of movement," added Filho.
Born in São Paulo in 1940, Joaquim Francisco Filho began his career as a professional player at the age of 16.
He played in Brazil, Venezuela, Portugal and France.
As a coach, Filho made his name at the French development centre in Clairefontaine for nearly 30 years where he met Jonathan Bru, who is currently the assistant technical director of Mauritius.
In 2002 he joined Manchester United as a youth coach, working with Sir Alex Ferguson.
He also acted as an interpreter for Cristiano Ronaldo when he arrived at Old Trafford in 2003.

After a tight start, the home side took a surprise lead as Eloi Pellisier went over, but Ryan Hall, twice, Daryl Clark and George Burgess hit back.
Kevin Brown and Jermaine McGillvary touched down in the corner and Gareth Widdop also scored in the second half.
England face New Zealand in their first Four Nations match next Saturday in Huddersfield (kick-off 14:30 BST).
The tournament gets under way on Friday in Hull, where Australia take on debutants Scotland (kick-off 20:00 BST).
This proved to be a strong test in Avignon for England, against a France side much improved from the one hammered 84-4 the last time the countries met in October 2015.
Australian Bennett replaced Steve McNamara, who had been in the role for five and a half years, in February and saw his side in action for the first time without the likes of captain Sam Burgess and full-back Sam Tomkins.
He gave five players their debuts - Jonny Lomax, Mark Percival, Luke Gale and Stefan Ratchford all getting their first caps - as did the impressive Hull prop Scott Taylor, who showed some powerful running.
England were scoreless for the first 27 minutes, before taking control with a flurry of four tries in 13 minutes.
Having gone behind to a Pellisier try from dummy half, it was the dangerous Leeds Rhinos winger Hall who finished off two tries in the corner
It took his tally for the national side to 28 in as many games. In between, Warrington Wolves man Clark scooted in and George Burgess barged over.
Widnes skipper Brown finished off a smart move, Huddersfield winger McGillvary got his first England try and Widdop ran clear as Bennett's side cruised to victory.
England head coach Wayne Bennett: "I wasn't disappointed. I thought we handled it pretty well without blowing them away.
"I thought France tried really hard, they were really competitive and had good ball control. I was pretty pleased with all the new caps, I wasn't disappointed with anybody tonight.
"But it hasn't made my job of picking a side for next week tougher - I already had an idea of my team to face New Zealand anyway."
France head coach Aurelien Cologni: "I'm very happy with our performance but I'm frustrated with some of the referee's decisions.
"When we were six points ahead, we got two penalties and they take a lot out of you, as it makes it very difficult to build pressure.
"We can be proud as we pushed England into a bad situation. It was a good game for them and us as we showed a good mentality. It was a good test and will give us confidence to prepare for the World Cup."
Wales coach John Kear on BBC TV:
"I think this England side will really challenge in the Four Nations tournament.
"A job very well done. Coach Wayne Bennett will be very happy. The conditions weren't the best against a committed French side, who were very spirited and gutsy. The England players looked comfortable though and believe in the coach. An 8/10 performance.
"Bennett will have a very good idea of who he is going with against New Zealand next week. He will have 14 or 15 in mind but this game will solidify the remaining positions."

Scottish Natural Heritage is said to have poisoned hundreds of beech trees on Inchtavannach Island.
Luss Estates, which owns the island, said SNH had created a "dead canopy" which would take generations to restore.
SNH admitted it had not appreciated the impact that its programme would have on the landscape of the island.
Luss Estates said SNH had entered into an agreement with the tenant of Inchtavannach to remove rhododendron from the island in 2013.
The agreement also provided for the mature beech trees to be felled gradually over a five year period.
But it said SNH had decided to ring-bark and poison hundreds of the trees, some of which were 300 years old.
Luss said it now feared that the dead trees would shed branches which would be a danger to the many visitors who come to Inchtavannach each year.
Sir Malcolm Colquhoun, the owner of Luss Estates, said he had written a "very strongly worded letter" to the chief executive of SNH calling for an immediate explanation of its actions.
He said: "I am outraged and shocked at this act of wanton vandalism, and the resulting blight on the landscape of Inchtavannach Island.
"It will take years and indeed generations for the canopy to recover and this beautiful view to be restored.
"I simply cannot understand why the supposed guardian of our natural heritage has killed off these wonderful trees for no apparent reason."
Luss Estates has asked SNH to explain why it did not comply with the management agreement to fell the mature beech trees.
It has also asked SNH if it had a felling licence to kill the mature trees from Forestry Commission Scotland, and if not whether the decision to poison them was taken in order to get around the need for a felling licence.
Local community council chairman, Ian MacEachern, said: "To say we are annoyed is an understatement. The mature beech trees on Inchtavannach added greatly to the visual impact of Loch Lomond, for residents and visitors, particularly in the autumn. This act of vandalism is a travesty and tragically cannot be restored in our lifetime."
A spokeswoman for SNH said Inchtavannach was internationally important for its oak woodland, but the condition of the woodland has been affected by a lack of regeneration, a lack of dead wood and the spread of non-native plants.
She added: "We have worked with Luss Estates and the tenant over a number of years to improve the condition of the woodland and our latest five year management agreement with the tenant in August 2013 included measures to remove non-native beech and rhododendron from the island.
"We consulted the estate about this agreement. As this work progressed, we agreed with the tenant and contractor that it would be more cost effective to control the beech by injecting the stems rather than felling.
"We didn't appreciate the impact that this would have on the landscape of the island and we are now in discussion with the estate and tenant regarding felling of the dead trees to reduce this impact."
Cherif and Said Kouachi and Amedy Coulibaly were killed but investigators are seeking a "fourth man", a suspected accomplice of European appearance, who police believe was working with Coulibaly.
They want to know why Coulibaly, who shot dead a police officer in Montrouge on 8 January and then murdered four hostages at a kosher supermarket the following day, visited Madrid days before the attacks.
Police were alerted to the possible existence of a fourth man, now suspected of being an accomplice, after searching a house that Coulibaly had rented in the Gentilly district of southern Paris a week prior to the attacks.
There they found a large arsenal of weapons, including three Kalashnikov assault rifles, a rocket-propelled grenade launcher and at least one automatic weapon, along with several grenades and industrial explosives.
They also found a set of keys for a moped or scooter, although Coulibaly had no such vehicle registered to him.
According to sources quoted by French daily Le Parisien, the keys were for a vehicle belonging to a man with a long criminal record.
Police have connected this "fourth man" to the shooting of a jogger in Fontenay-aux-Roses on 7 January, the day of the Kouachi brothers' attack on Charlie Hebdo's offices.
The 32-year-old jogger was shot with an automatic weapon and seriously wounded. There had been concerns that he might not survive, but his condition has improved and he is no longer on the critical list.
Before losing consciousness, he reportedly told police his attacker was of European appearance, wearing a black padded jacket with a fur collar, his face obscured by a hood.
Ballistic tests on shell casings found at the scene of the shooting confirmed that the bullets had been fired from the same weapon later used in Coulibaly's attack on the Hyper Cacher supermarket two days later - an automatic Tokarev machine pistol.
Police sources told AP that they believed as many as six members of the same "radical Islamic terror cell", including the suspected Fontenay-aux-Roses gunman, may still be at large.
Police union spokesman Christophe Crepin said investigators had identified some "extremely dangerous" people, and that police were up against "a well-organised, mafia-like structure", adding, "we are really in a war".
Eight men and four women were arrested in the Paris metropolitan region overnight between Thursday 15 and Friday 16 January. All 12 were already known to police, according to Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, and were placed in custody on suspicion of providing "logistical support" to Coulibaly.
Three have since been released, and the remaining nine must either be charged or let go by Tuesday evening.
Cherif Kouachi was convicted of terrorism offences in 2008 for his involvement with the "Buttes-Chaumont network" - which sent young men to fight against Western forces in Iraq.
He said he was motivated after seeing photographs of detainee abuse by US soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison, and is believed to have met Amedy Coulibaly whilst in prison.
A Frenchman of Haitian origin, Fritz-Joly Joachim was detained in Bulgaria on 1 January after trying to cross the Turkish border. He confirmed that he knew the Kouachi brothers, but denied having any prior knowledge of the attacks, saying he was simply going on holiday.
According to Spanish security sources, Coulibaly and his partner Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, travelled to Madrid, arriving on 31 December.
There are conflicting reports as to how long the pair were in the Spanish capital. Anonymous Spanish security sources quoted in El Mundo have said they believe that Coulibaly and Boumeddiene were only in the city for a matter of hours.
There is no record of where they stayed or of any contact with anyone based in Madrid, reports say.
On 2 January, Coulibaly is thought to have returned to Paris by car, after dropping his partner at Madrid's Barajas airport, from where she flew to Istanbul.
Boumeddiene, who is understood to be 4 or 5 months pregnant, was incorrectly placed at the scene of the HyperCacher supermarket siege by initial reports on the day. She stayed in Turkey until 8 January and then crossed into Syria, accompanied by another man, Mehdi Belhoucine, who had flown with her from Madrid.
Belhoucine's brother Mohamed was convicted in France in July 2014 of helping would-be fighters reach the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
Money trail
French newspaper La Voix du Nord has obtained documentation showing that Coulibaly took out a €6,000 ($7,000, £4,600) loan from provider Cofidis in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, Lille, on 4 December, using a genuine ID card and fraudulent payslip.
Belgian media report that some of the weapons used by both Coulibaly and the Kouachi brothers, including the automatic pistol used in the supermarket attack, were bought near Gare du Midi train station in Brussels, for around €5,000 ($5,800, £3,800).
Initially it was believed that the money to finance this purchase had come from the Cofidis loan, but, according to Le Parisien, the authorities now believe that Coulibaly may have part-exchanged a black Mini Cooper, bought second-hand in September from a licensed BMW dealer in Bordeaux, for the guns.
The vehicle, registered in Hayat Boumeddiene's name, has still not been found.
Coulibaly may also have had other illicit means of acquiring funds for the attacks. Former associates told AP that he had been selling marijuana and hashish in the suburbs of Paris as recently as one month ago.
A series of anti-terror raids was launched across Belgium last Thursday, targeting what authorities there said was a group of suspected jihadists who were plotting to attack police. A shootout in the eastern city of Verviers left two people dead, although the raids are not believed to be connected to the attacks in Paris.
Belgian authorities have identified the suspected ringleader of the group as Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a Belgian man of Moroccan origin who has not been apprehended.
In a new analysis the society - which campaigns to change the voting system - has assessed how the make up of Parliament would have differed had other voting systems been used.
The research shows UKIP could have won as many as 80 MPs and the Greens 20.
UKIP received 3.9 million votes and the Greens 1.2 million, and they ended up with one MP each.
Katie Ghose, chief executive of the society, described the current system, usually known as first-past-the-post, as "archaic" and "divisive".
She said: it "leaves millions disenfranchised and forces millions more to feel that they have to vote for a 'lesser evil.'"
"It's about time we had a fairer system for electing our MPs."
How different voting systems work
First-past-the-post (used in UK general elections): People get a single vote for who they want to represent their constituency and whichever candidate gets the most votes wins.
Single transferable vote (used in Northern Ireland Assembly elections and Scottish council elections): Voters number candidates in order of preference and all those passing a defined threshold - calculated by dividing the number of valid votes by the number of seats plus one - are elected. Their surplus votes are distributed to other candidates on the basis of other preferences with low-scoring candidates being progressively eliminated. The system sees more than one candidate elected from a single constituency.
Additional member system (used in Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly elections): Some representatives are elected via the traditional first-past-the post method but voters get to cast a second vote for "top-up" seats, allocated in proportion to the number of votes. These representatives are selected on a regional basis from lists of candidates drawn up by each party.
Party list system (used in European Parliament elections): The UK is divided into large constituencies, known as regions, and different parties put together lists of candidates for election, with their preferred choices at the top. Seats are allocated, on a top-down basis, in proportion to parties' share of the vote.
Supplementary vote (used in London mayoral elections): Voters choose their first and second preferences and a candidate can only be elected in the first round if they get 50% of the vote. If no-one achieves this, all but the top two candidates are eliminated and their second preferences redistributed to the candidates still in the race. The candidate with the most votes is then elected.
Alternative Vote (rejected in 2011 UK-wide referendum): Voters rank candidates in order of preference and anyone getting more than 50% in the first round is elected. If that doesn't happen, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their second choices allocated to the remaining candidates. This process continues until a winner emerges.
Alternative Vote Plus: As well as voters ranking constituency candidates in order of preference, they would get a second vote at a regional level either for a party or for their favourite candidate from a list proposed by the parties. This would mean having a group of constituency MPs and a group of "party list" MPs.
In a survey commissioned by the society and carried out by pollsters YouGov, over 40,000 people were asked how they would have voted in the general election had they been required to rank the parties in order of preference.
The report, entitled The 2015 General Election: A Voting System in Crisis, found that under a list-based system of proportional representation similar to the kind used in European elections, the outcome would have been very different.
In this case Conservatives would have won 242 seats (-89), Labour 208 (-24), the SNP 30 (-26), the Lib Dems 47 (+39), Plaid Cymru 5 (+2), UKIP 80 (+79) and the Greens 20 (+19).
First past the post v List PR
However, the analysis also found that under analternative vote system, where voters' preferences are reallocated until one candidate gets over 50%, the election result would be similar to that of 7 May, with the Conservatives winning 337 seats - an increase of six.
In this case Labour would have 227 (-5), the SNP 54 (-2), the Lib Dems 9 (+1), Plaid Cymru 3 (no change), UKIP 1 (no change) and the Greens 1 (no change).
First past the post v Alternative Vote
And the research showed that under a single transferable vote (STV) system, similar to the kind currently used in Scottish local elections, the Conservatives would have won 276 seats (-55), Labour 236 (+4), the SNP 34 (-22), the Lib Dems 26 (+18), Plaid Cymru 3 (nc), UKIP 54 (+53) and the Greens 3 (+2).
First past the post v STV
"Our voting system is breaking up Britain," Ms Ghose added.
"First Past the Post is artificially dividing the UK, giving the SNP nearly all Scottish seats on half the vote, while excluding Labour from the south of England and over-representing them in Wales."
Since the election, politicians from UKIP, the Greens, Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru and the SNP have supported a petition calling for voting reform.
The Electoral Reform Society used the D'Hondt method for converting votes to seats in a list-based PR system.
Ms Ghose later told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Voters have changed fundamentally. They're shopping around, they're supporting a wider range of parties than ever before and I think that the system's really struggling to cope with that."
But Labour MP Dame Margaret Beckett said the current system tended to give the electorate what they wanted.
"One of the virtues of our present system is that the British people understand it, they know how to work it. In 2010 they didn't like any of us and they didn't give any of us a majority," she said.
"But in 2015 they said 'hang on a minute, we'd rather have a majority government of one or the other, than a mess'."
It follows a three-month undercover investigation by officers from Zephyr, the Regional Organised Crime Unit, which is a collaboration of five police forces.

Opening in May 2016, Sunken Cities: Egypt's Lost Worlds will feature 200 artefacts found metres deep in clay and silt in the mouth of the river Nile.
Most were excavated from the "lost" submerged cities of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus between 1996 and 2012.
They include several monumental sculptures that will be brought to the UK for the first time.
The loans from Egyptian museums - the first since the Arab Spring revolution - will be supplemented with objects drawn from the British Museum's own collection.
Curator Aurelia Masson-Berghoff said the "ground-breaking discoveries" had "transformed understanding" of the relationship between ancient Egypt and the Greek world.
"People sometimes assume that when two cultures mix, the essence of each is diluted and, as a result, weakened; this exhibition demonstrates the opposite," she said.
She said that a 5.4 metre-tall granite sculpture of the god Hapy - a divine personification of the Nile's flood - would "give a warm, if imposing welcome to our visitors".
Another significant object on show will be a headless sculpture from Canopus representing Arsinoe II - the eldest daughter of Ptolemy I - who was deified after her death to become a Greek and Egyptian goddess.
"She was really famous," said Masson-Berghoff. "Everybody knows Cleopatra but Arsinoe is another mythical queen of the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
"This dignified, striding posture and dark stone are typically Egyptian, but the transparent garment is highly reminiscent of Greek masterpieces - making this statue a perfect combination and Egyptian and Greek style."
Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus - submerged at the mouth of the River Nile for over a thousand years - were once were cities that once sat on adjacent islands at the edge of the Egyptian Delta.
By the 8th century AD, the sea had reclaimed the cities and they lay hidden several metres beneath the seabed before they were discovered in the 1990s.
Franck Goddio, who led the European team of underwater archaeologists, said that 98% of the site remains unexcavated.
"The policy now is to learn as much as we can by touching as little as we can and leaving it for future technology," he said.
"I have a dream that the visitor will see those artefacts... with the same pleasure that we had when we discovered them in the water."

Youngs missed Saturday's derby win over Northampton Saints after initially being named in the team.
The 29-year-old, capped 22 times by England, had back surgery in March.
"He was lifting the wheel in to the back of the car and his back spasmed," Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester.
"He did it Friday morning, bizarrely changing a tyre on his car at home. He was hugely improved today, but just not quite right.
"We tried to get him to the start line - he has had back issues previously so the right thing to do was start with Harry Thacker, and George McGuigan did a great job off the bench."

The Weeping Window is taken from the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red exhibit of 888,246 poppies which represented deaths in the British and colonial forces between 1914 and 1918.
It will be on show from next October.
Deputy culture minister Ken Skates said he was delighted Caernarfon Castle has been chosen to host the poignant display over some key dates in 2016, including Remembrance Sunday.
The Weeping Window is currently on show in Liverpool.
Wrexham council has lost out on its bid to host an exhibit called Wave, a sweeping arch of bright red poppy heads which is currently on show at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Council leader Mark Pritchard said: "I am, of course, very disappointed that the poppies will not be coming to Wrexham next year."
It is hoped Tone FM will start broadcasting later this year after the station was given its licence by the broadcasting regulator Ofcom.

Mbemba, whose move from Anderlecht for a fee of about £8m has been completed, is under a Fifa investigation for two registered birthdays in 1988 and 1991.
"I don't think a day passes without mentioning his birthdays," said his DR Congo team-mate Gabriel Zakuani.
Mbemba, 20, won the 2014 Belgian title and has Champions League experience.
He becomes Newcastle's third major transfer of the summer after they signed PSV Eindhoven midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum for £14.5m and Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrovic for £13m.
"This is the biggest league in the world and I'm very proud to wear the shirt for this team and play in this league," said Mbemba.
The full-back was registered as being born in 1988 by his first two clubs in the Democratic Republic of Congo but given a 1991 birthday on a document submitted for an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier by his country.
Anderlecht, who he joined in 2012, listed his birthday as 8 August 1994 while it has been reported that Mbemba himself thinks he was born in 1990.
"He takes it all in good heart," Peterborough United's Zakuani told BBC World Service.
"One day we woke up and it was someone else's birthday in the DR Congo squad but instead of throwing a party for that player we decided to bring the party to Chancel and said to him 'is this one of your birthdays?'
"It's something that follows him but he's a very good player. I'm on his side. And to be honest he's quite a big lad so I'll agree that he's 20."
Mbemba has been granted a visa by the Football Association but must now obtain another visa overseas - a process which is expected to be a formality.
The versatile defender played 36 times for Anderlecht last season - including all of their Champions League group matches - and formed part of the side which one the Belgian Pro League play-offs in 2013 and 2014.
"I agree with the comparison many people make to Vincent Kompany," added Zakuani. "He plays that same aggressive game, doesn't give his opponent any space to manoeuvre and he's very quick and reads the game well. He's got all the attributes that Kompany has and because he's so young he can go as far as he can."
Newcastle manager Steve McClaren said: "He is a proven performer at the highest level, he's powerful, combative and will add quality to our defence. He also has an eye for goal which is an extra asset for us."
Mbemba, Wijnaldum and Mitrovic could make their Premier League debuts against Southampton on 9 August. | Scarlets clinched European Champions Cup qualification with a scrappy Pro12 bonus-point win over Newport Gwent Dragons on Judgement Day.

Bristol's mayor announced last week that he wants to set up another 20 resident parking zones in the city.
Robert Westlake, Downs Ranger, said: "My concern is that we will get the backwash of the commuter parking as these new schemes come in."
The city council said initial talks had been held about preventing the issue.
Residents' parking zones have already been set up in the Cotham, Redcliffe and Kingsdown areas of the city and a consultation is running for Easton and St Phillips.
A subgroup set up by the Downs Committee is due to report back its concerns with recommendations on 22 April.
The subgroup heard concerns from the Friends of the Downs that the roads crossing the green space will increasingly be used by commuters parking on the unrestricted and free roads.
Mr Westlake said he fears the Downs' roads would "be turned into car parks for commuters".
"We're already seeing an impact. We observe cars that are parked all day now, or people that park and then take out their bicycle and ride off across the Downs," he added.
"The biggest concern, and this was highlighted by the Friends group, is that it restricts access for other people that are coming to visit the Downs.
"We can only see this getting worse, not better."
A spokesperson for Bristol City Council said: "We will be consulting with the Downs Committee about our proposals in due course.
"Initial discussions about the scope for introducing measures to prevent commuters from parking on The Downs have already taken place."
Mayor George Ferguson previously said the subject of parking had become an urgent problem for some residents.
If approved, the additional areas will be introduced from September 2014. | The Downs in Bristol could become a "commuter car park" if plans to widen the residents' parking scheme go ahead, it has been claimed. | 21,923,306 | 367 | 36 | false |

They argue the Good Friday Agreement and peace process means there must be a Parliamentary vote if Northern Ireland is to leave the EU.
A High Court judge rejected arguments the case should be dealt with along with legal actions in the UK.
Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU by a 56% majority in June's referendum vote.
The group, including Alliance leader David Ford, SDLP leader Colum Eastwood, Sinn Féin MLA John O'Dowd and Steven Agnew, leader of the Green Party, are seeking to prevent the British government from formally triggering Brexit.
Raymond McCord, a victims campaigner whose son Raymond McCord Jr was killed by the UVF in north Belfast in 1997, is also mounting a bid to stop Brexit.
The judge said that issues specific to Northern Ireland could "fall between the cracks" during challenges due to come before a London court.
His decision clears the way for the politicians to make a fuller case at a two-day hearing in Belfast next week.
It will examine the group's claim that the Good Friday Agreement overrides any entitlement to quit the EU without a Parliamentary vote.
Mr McCord also contends Brexit will inflict damage on the Northern Ireland peace process and is concerned that money from the European Union, which goes towards victims of the Troubles, may be discontinued.
Government lawyers argue that the prime minister can use historic Royal Prerogative powers to start the process of withdrawing from the EU.
Mr McCord welcomed the judge's ruling.
"The judge wants to see that the Northern Irish issues are dealt with and the voice of the people is listened to," he said.
"Brexit is like marriage whereby if the wife wants to sell the house, she requires the husband's consent.
"What I mean by this is that the British prime minister is saying that 'Brexit means Brexit' but what she has to understand is that she requires the consent of the people of Northern Ireland."
Barkley, 23, who has been linked with a move to Tottenham, missed the club's pre-season tour to Tanzania and Netherlands with the injury.
The England international, who has one year left on his contract, is expected to return in four weeks.
Everton defender Ramiro Funes Mori will miss between six and nine months after having another knee operation.
The 26-year-old suffered a torn meniscus while playing for Argentina in March, which ruled him out of the rest of the 2016-17 season.
"Ramiro Funes Mori has undergone further surgery in Barcelona which will require prolonged rehabilitation of a minimum of six to nine months," the club said on their website.
Meanwhile, Aaron Lennon scored on his return to the first team, two months after he was detained by police under the Mental Health Act because of concerns for his welfare.
Kevin Mirallas and Kieran Dowell also scored in a 3-0 pre-season friendly win over Dutch side FC Twente in De Lutte on Wednesday.
Cecil's head and skin were removed, according to the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force (ZCTF), a local charity.
Walter Palmer, the US dentist who shot the animal, believed the hunt was legal but could still face charges.
The removal of the head of a hunted animal is not unusual - one wildlife charity says 665 lions are killed as trophies in South Africa alone every year.
In the last day, three US airlines - Delta, United and American Airlines - have said they will no longer transport the trophies of big-game animals such as buffalo, elephants, leopards, lions and rhinos.
All of which leads to one question: how can the remains of some of the world's most valuable animals end up being transported on commercial airlines?
Not so fast - that should become more clear later.
No - as long as it was not killed illegally, as Cecil allegedly was.
Hunting trophy animals is not illegal in many African countries. In Zimbabwe and South Africa, hunting is regulated, and hunters must obtain permits to kill certain animals in certain places.
Erica Kock, of Trophy Service Tannery in Pretoria, said export of trophy animals was tightly controlled in South Africa.
All legal hunters and hunting farms are registered, and anyone wishing to export a trophy animal needs to submit an export application via the taxidermist to the government.
"If we don't produce all the required documentation, we can't export - it's that simple," Ms Kock said.
The UK and the US, for example, demand import licences on top of export permits issued by the countries where hunting takes place.
In the UK, all applications must be made to the Animal and Plant Health Agency (Apha) - who can still refuse the application.
A spokesman for Apha said licences to import trophies had been issued to 61 people in the year up to 30 July. Only 16 of those have so far been used, the spokesman said.
But if the animal is classed as endangered, extra permission has to be given by the origin country.
Endangered animals such as some tigers and elephants are listed under Appendix One of the Cites (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) index.
If it was classed under the Cites index and killed without the permission of the host country, the animal cannot be exported, and will be seized.
African lions such as Cecil, while said by Cites to be vulnerable, are not classified as endangered and therefore not listed under Appendix One.
As well as the three airlines who announced a change in rules on Monday, many others have already said they would not carry trophy animals.
A number, including Lufthansa, Emirates, British Airways and Singapore Airlines, have recently introduced bans, many in the wake of a petition launched on the change.org website.
Wildlife experts told the BBC that recent bans in particular are significant, as they block all trophies - not just protected species or those hunted illegally - from being transported.
Mark Jones, a wildlife policy manager with the Born Free Foundation, said the focus had been on trying to persuade "the big American carriers" not to transport trophies - that has now been achieved, he said.
"But trophy hunters can be very determined people," he said. "They will look for other ways to transport their cargo."
The focus now, Mr Jones said, could be on airlines from developing economies, whose citizens he said are taking more of an interest in hunting.
A spokeswoman for China Airlines, that does not fly to Africa, said cargo managers told her they had never been asked or approached to carry trophy animals.
Courier company FedEx said it did not accept animal carcasses for shipment but "may accept legitimate shipments of parts for taxidermy purposes".
A spokesman for UPS said the delivery company avoids "making judgements" on the contents of shipments but all must comply with the law.
Maersk, a shipping company, said it had strict procedures in place to prevent its ships carrying illegal cargo.
And Cargolux, a cargo airline, said it does not carry ivory or any animal products coming under Cites Appendix One. Other airline cargo companies did not reply.
Had anyone tried to export Cecil's head, they would not have obtained the necessary licence for it to leave Zimbabwe. Plus, they would have probably been subject to intense scrutiny "given all the furore around this particular case", said Mark Jones, of the Born Free Foundation.
As it turns out, the head and pelt were seized by police when they raided the house of Theo Bronkhorst, a guide who has since been arrested.
The head and pelt were to be sent to South Africa for export to the US, Jonny Rodrigues, the chairman of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, told the BBC.
He said they were hopeful police would return Cecil's head so it could be mounted at the entrance to Hwange National Park as a memorial to the lost lion.
The nation's Social Services Minister, Christian Porter, has described having "a beam me up, Scotty" moment after learning his department had approved grants to the Tuggerah Lakes UFO Group.
The group has received A$6,000 (£3,400; $4,500) since 2013 under funding to support volunteers with disabilities.
Mr Porter has halted the payments to seek "more detail" about the group.
"I'm sure they are very nice people and there are lots of volunteers who are getting something out of it, but looking at it from my perspective, representing taxpayers, it did not seem to pass a common sense test," Mr Porter said on the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
The New South Wales group has more than 800 members on Facebook, where it says it shares "news, information, support friends and network in UFO matters as well as related topics".
When asked about apparent sightings in the region, Mr Porter said: "You tend to find a lot of sightings when you are funding UFO-sighting groups, I tend to think. But we will see what they are about."
The Tuggerah Lakes UFO Group has been contacted for comment.
A person identified as a spokeswoman told the Central Coast Gosford Express Advocate: "We have elderly people we pick up and take to meetings, where we need projectors and microphones so everyone can see and hear what is going on."
It will be written and directed by Gurinder Chadha, who also made the 2002 movie starring Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley.
The musical will retell the story of teenager Jess, a Punjabi Sikh who loves football but is forbidden to play by her parents.
It will open at the Phoenix Theatre on 24 June, with previews from 15 May.
Chadha has written the script for the show with Paul Mayeda Berges, who also worked on the film.
"Developing Bend It Like Beckham for the stage has been the most enjoyable creative process of my career so far," Chadha said.
"It was always my intention to build on the film and to present its themes and storylines to live audiences in an exciting new dynamic way.
"I believe we are presenting a totally new kind of musical - part West End, part London Punjabi, but whole-heartedly British."
The production's music has been written by Howard Goodall whose previous musicals include Girlfriends, The Dreaming and Love Story. Lyrics are by Charles Hart, who counts The Phantom of the Opera and Aspect of Love among his credits. Casting has yet to be announced.
Bend It Like Beckham was a box office and critical hit when it was released in cinemas, launching the career of Knightley.
It was nominated for a Bafta and Golden Globe in 2003 and went on to win a British Comedy Award for best film.

Fiona Hewitt, 52, Richard Hewitt, 50, Felicity, 17, and Harry, 14, died when the seaplane crashed in woods in the Les Bergeronnes area of Quebec province during a sightseeing trip on Sunday.
A relative said the Hewitts, of Milton Keynes, were on a special holiday when they died alongside two others.
Family members were said to be devastated by their loss.
In a statement released by the Foreign Office, the unnamed relative said: "Their families are devastated by the news of this tragic incident and are struggling to come to terms with the loss of the entire family.
"Please respect the family's wishes for privacy in this deeply distressing time and we ask to be left to grieve in private."
Pilot Romain Desrosiers and French passenger Emilie Delaitre also died in the crash.
The seaplane had taken off from Tadoussac, on the north shore of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence - located about 270km (167 miles) north east of Quebec City - on Sunday evening (local time).
An Air Saguenay official said the flight was supposed to last 20 minutes and flying conditions at the time were "excellent".
However, crash investigators have been hindered by bad weather and the inaccessible terrain.
Le Journal de Quebec reported that the plane crashed into a mountainside 20km (12 miles) from Tadoussac, where the tourists were staying.
The newspaper also reported the Britons might have rented a car with an Ontario number plate to drive to the region.
The Quebec Coroner's Office said it would carry out further investigations into the deaths in the coming weeks and its findings would be published in a report in the coming months.
UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond offered his condolences, saying: "This terrible incident has taken the lives of all on board, including four British nationals.
"My thoughts and sympathy are with their family and friends at this difficult time."
The UK's High Commission in Ottawa is in close contact with the Canadian authorities and consular assistance is being provided to the relatives of those killed, he added.
Belle Wahallah, meaning "Belly Pain", is an acoustic dance track about alleviating hunger and poverty, from Sierra Leone's thumb piano virtuoso Sorie Kondi.
Born blind and with no formal education, he learnt the kondi, a type of thumb piano rarely played in Sierra Leone, to make his living as a street musician and adopted the name of the instrument as his surname.
His road to commercial success has been tortuous and his life experiences have influenced his socially conscious lyrics. His first opportunity to record an album came when he sought refuge in the capital, Freetown, during the country's brutal civil war but the master tapes were lost during a rebel assault on the city.
"Sorie Kondi may be playing an acoustic folk instrument from Sierra Leone, but he thinks about music as if he were a techno producer," says his US producer DJ Chief Boima, who also has Sierra Leonean roots.
Their collaboration, mixed with electronic sounds, brings the sound of the kondi to the club scene.
Congolese pianist Ray Lema's latest album is a tight melodic jazz exploration that manages to successfully combine Afrobeat, samba funk and other styles into an enjoyable listen.
Internationally hailed and a sought-after musician and composer, Lema's grounding is in classical music that he learnt at a Catholic seminary when he was planning to become a priest, in what was then the Belgium Congo.
The experience shaped him as did his time as director of the National Ballet of Zaire, discovering the diversity of the country's musical heritage and its inherent rhythms.
And this album has a treat for fans of Manu Dibango, who swaps his sax for the mirambas.
It's a testament to Lema's admiration of the Cameroonian saxophonist, whom he regards as one of the architects of Congolese Rumba.
Chipapapa is a playful feel-good song inspired by a Malawian children's clapping game.
It's the latest release from award-winning hip-hop artist Tay Grin, who has fulfilled his prediction - made aged 14 - that he would be a music sensation and entrepreneur.
The prophetic artiste collaborates with 2Baba, the Nigerian Afrobeats superstar formally known as 2Face Idibia, to produce a joyful celebration of African music, fashion and dance.
This album will be a dance-floor favourite with fantastic beats and wacky lyrics.
It's a collaboration between Konono No 1, Congolese musicians famous for the unrelenting rhythms of their DIY electro thumb pianos, and Angolan-born Portuguese artist Pedro Coquenao, known as Batida. It's a marriage made in heaven.
Kinshasa-based Konono No 1 are world festival favourites, inspiring cutting-edge musicians as wide ranging as Icelandic singer Bjork, experimental US rock band Deerhoof and Radiohead's Thom Yorke.
Yet at home in the Democratic Republic of Congo, it is mainly at funerals that their trance music is played.
It originates from a region that straddles the border between DR Congo and Angola, home to the Bakongo people, and from where Batida largely draws his inspiration, adding in the sounds of Lusophone urban music scene
Together their musical energies are fruitful and surprising.
Officials at the tournament became suspicious when Arcangelo Ricciardi, who is ranked 51,366 in the world, began beating far better players.
Mr Ricciardi was reportedly blinking in an unusual manner and holding his hand under his armpit.
Confronted by referee Jean Coqueraut, he refused to open his shirt.
Officials believe the 37-year-old was using the camera, hung around his neck, to transmit the game to someone with a chess computer program, who was feeding back moves using Morse code.
Mr Coqueraut said he began to suspect something was wrong early on in the competition.
"In chess, performances like that are impossible," he told La Stampa newspaper.
He said Mr Ricciardi did not get up at all during hours of playing and kept his thumb tucked in his armpit.
The 37-year-old player was also "batting his eyelids in the most unnatural way", Mr Coqueraut said.
"Then I understood it," he said. "He was deciphering signals in Morse code."
When Mr Ricciardi refused to open his shirt, officials asked him to pass through a metal detector which picked up a pendant hanging underneath his shirt.
The pendant contained a tiny video camera connected to a small box under his armpit, officials said.
The incident follows a high-profile cheating case in Moscow in April, where a chess grandmaster was expelled after he was discovered using a smartphone in the toilet to check his moves.
Gaioz Nigalidze aroused suspicions when he repeatedly used the same toilet cubicle each time for 10 minutes or more. When officials checked the stall, they discovered a smartphone wrapped in toilet tissue buried in the bin.
The Imperia Chess Festival is Italy's longest running open event and attracts some of the biggest names in the sport.
Kevin Nolan, of Whitchurch Close in Sunderland, appeared before Belfast Magistrates on Tuesday.
Semtex, explosives, two guns and more than 200 rounds of ammunition were discovered during a raid of a house on Ballymurphy Road on Friday.
Mr Nolan was arrested in Sunderland on Sunday.
A defence lawyer told the court Mr Nolan was not yet seeking to be released.
"There's no application for bail at this stage, it will be kept under review," he said.
Mr Nolan will appear in court again by video-link on 20 October.
Meanwhile, a 21-year-old woman arrested in west Belfast on Sunday over the arms and explosives find has been released pending a report to the PPS.
A 29-year-old man was earlier released without charge.
Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa, Gianni Infantino, Tokyo Sexwale and Jerome Champagne are all in contention.
The election in Zurich follows Blatter's decision in June to stand down amid corruption allegations at world football's governing body.
The new president will be the first since 1998, when Blatter was elected.
Sheikh Salman and Infantino are both favourites for world football's top job.
Suspended Uefa president Michel Platini was the original favourite but, along with Blatter, he was banned in December from all football-related activities for eight years by Fifa's ethics committee.
The pair deny any wrongdoing and are appealing against their bans. They are expected to find out the result before Friday's election.

McKillop, 27, stretched clear to beat Canadian rival Liam Stanley by 10 metres after a race mostly run at a slow pace.
It means the man from Glengormley retains the two titles he won at the 2015 championships in Doha.
The T37 classification is for athletes with a mild form of cerebral palsy.
McKillop has not been beaten in a major international event since the 2006 European Championships.
Saturday's final was run at a fairly pedestrian pace with the opening 800m being clocked at two minutes, 46 seconds.
That played into the hands of the dominant leader McKillop, who has run under two minutes for the 800 on numerous occasions in able-bodied competition.
Stanley, fastest in the heats, attempted to stay with the Irish runner but McKillop showed he was still in a class of how own by pulling away to win in 4:36.38.
Stanley, who had been runner-up to McKillop at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio, took silver again with Algeria's Madjid Djemai in third place.
Northern Ireland's James Hamilton, running for Great Britain, was sixth in the final of the 800 metres in the T20 classification for runners with intellectual impairment.
Michael Branningan of the United States won in 1:54.24, with Ballyclare's Hamilton clocking 2:00.24.
Makarova won 5-7 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 and will face Lucie Safarova in round three.
Konta, who had a first-round bye as the seventh seed, was playing her first match since losing to Venus Williams in the Wimbledon semi-finals.
The Briton, 26, led 7-5 5-2 but failed to convert two match points in the second set.
Makarova, 29, is ranked 42nd but extended her winning streak to seven matches after claiming the Washington title last week.
She was always likely to prove a testing opponent for Konta on her return after four weeks away, but the British number one worked her way into a commanding position.
However, two points to clinch the match slipped by as she was pegged back into a tie-break in the second set.
Makarova took it after a Konta forehand error gave her the crucial break, and the Russian got the decisive break at 4-3 in the decider.
New world number one Karolina Pliskova beat Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-3 6-3 in her opening match.
The 25-year-old Czech is playing in her first tournament since her shock second-round defeat at Wimbledon.
"I had a little bit (of nerves) before the match but during the match I felt much better, especially at the end," said Pliskova, who claimed the number one ranking in July.
"I think it was not the best tennis from my side but I was trying to improve in the match."
Wimbledon champion and Spanish fourth seed Garbine Muguruza beat Belgian Kirsten Flipkens 7-5 6-2, while 18-year-old American CiCi Bellis beat Russian eighth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-4 7-5.
American ninth seed Venus Williams saw off Czech Katerina Siniakova 7-5 7-5, while Romania's world number two Simona Halep beat Slovakian surprise Wimbledon semi-finalist Magdalena Rybarikova 6-3 6-4.
German Angelique Kerber defeated Croatian Donna Vekic 6-4 7-6 (7-5) but Czech 2012 winner Petra Kvitova was knocked out by American Sloane Stephens, losing 7-6 (7-4) 3-6 6-2.
He joins from Metz's official partner in Senegal, Generation Foot, who he helped win the league last season.
Generation Foot's coach Olivier Perrin was full of praise for the 18-year-old.
"One of his strengths is his vision during the game, he's always able to anticipate what will happen," Perrin told the Metz website.
"He's comfortable with the ball at his feet, it's beautiful to see him play.
"He has also improved his finishing this season."
Jallow initially joined the Senegalese outfit on loan in 2015 from Gambian club Real de Banjul before the deal was made permanent last year.
He joins his former Generation Foot team-mate and Senegal under-20 striker Ibrahima Niane at Metz after he signed for them over the weekend.
Niane was the top scorer last season for the Senegalese champions.
It found the Youth Justice Board was made aware of at least 35 incidents from over seven years but failed to act.
Details emerged in a report into Medway Secure Training Centre in Kent, where the BBC's Panorama secretly filmed staff assaulting children.
The government has confirmed it would take over the unit in Chatham in July.
The inquiry found G4S oversaw "a culture of bullying and falsification of records" and ran Medway as a "place of coercion" for the "corralling and control of children, rather than their full rehabilitation".
In a ministerial statement, Justice Secretary Michael Gove said young offenders should spend time in "secure schools" not "junior prisons".
He said a new governing body would scrutinise and support all three secure training centres at Medway, Oakhill in Milton Keynes and Rainsbrook near Rugby.
The Youth Justice Board was aware of many of the failings exposed by Panorama, the report said.
An analysis of the complaints included:
In response, Lin Hinnigan, Chief Executive of the Youth Justice Board, said: "We are reviewing our policies for people to raise concerns with us so whistle-blowers feel supported and their concerns are thoroughly investigated. Our new, more robust system of monitoring will also ensure greater scrutiny of STCs (Secure Training Centres), essential to protect children in custody.
"Whilst in the past we did take action on individual concerns raised with us and referred these to the relevant authorities for investigation, this was clearly not enough to address the cultural failings identified."
Peter Neden, of G4S UK and Ireland described the behaviour of some of its staff at Medway as "shocking and completely unacceptable" but said it reported the allegations of mistreatment to police and local authority immediately and dismissed staff involved.
"The behaviour was not in accordance with our standards and policies and was inconsistent with the training provided to officers.
"These events were deeply disappointing after seven years of Medway achieving a good or outstanding rating from independent government inspectors and it is clear that the multiple levels of internal and independent oversight of the centre failed to detect the behaviour of these staff."
He added: "We welcomed the decision of the secretary of state to commission an independent review and we will continue to work closely with the MoJ [Ministry of Justice] to ensure that oversight and safeguards are strengthened."
Following the Panorama programme, four men were arrested on suspicion of child neglect while a fifth was held on suspicion of assault.
All have been released on police bail.
The Panorama programme included footage apparently showing staff mistreating and abusing inmates.
Allegations relating to 10 boys, aged 14 to 17, included use of unnecessary force, foul language and a cover-up at the centre.
Five members of staff were sacked and three more suspended, while the unit's director, Ralph Marchant, stood down.
The unit takes youths aged 12 to 17 both on remand and after conviction.
In April, it emerged further allegations had been made by a young person who had been placed at the centre since the documentary was aired.
But he's found a more serendipitous combination of lavender and sandalwood.
The 63-year-old is the founder and chief executive of the notoriously heavily-scented UK toiletries and cosmetics firm Lush.
He's pausing to consider a plan that he hopes will rock a few boats. A couple of colleagues have brought him a prototype cinnamon-scented soap, each piece of which has a cardboard tab attached to it with the message #BeCrueltyFree in both English and Mandarin.
Lush doesn't sell soap, or anything else, in China, but that doesn't mean it hasn't got something to say to the Chinese, where the debate over cosmetics testing on animals is continuing.
There's quite a demand for Lush products imported on the grey market there, so the company is exploring how it might use this illicit trade to raise awareness of the issue.
Lush, vendor of bicarbonate-based bathbombs and soap that looks likes psychedelic wedges of cheese, is known for two things - pungent, fruity-floral odours that are not universally appealing, and its provocative campaigns against everything from fox hunting, to fracking and international trade deals.
Mr Constantine appears to relish the way the brand divides opinion, delighting in what he calls his "mischief".
A case in point was his 2014 legal spat with Amazon, over the way the internet giant used the adjective "lush" to sell non-Lush products. His chosen strategy was to trademark the name of Amazon's UK boss and threaten to launch a product range using it.
"You have to get people to realise what it's like when they use someone else's brand," says Mr Constantine, who admits that it wasn't the most grown up approach to resolving the problem.
"Childish and vindictive could be words to describe me. I have heard them used before," he chuckles.
In fact, he appears as interested in causing a stir as he is in making profits. Some years ago a piece of performance art took place in a Lush shop window, which showed a young woman being treated like an animal undergoing testing.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it provoked strong criticism, not least from women who had been victims of violence, and Lush was accused of sensationalism. But Mr Constantine doesn't think it went too far.
"There will be times we've made mistakes, but not in that instance," he says.
"It upset me - I don't like the thought of animals being treated that way, I certainly don't like the thought of people being treated in that way. But it doesn't hurt to be reminded."
Mr Constantine's campaigning has also, it appears, caught the attention of US authorities.
The last time he tried to go to the US - four years ago, shortly after a Lush campaign against the detentions at Guantanamo Bay, which used the strap-line "Fair Trial My Arse" - Mr Constantine was taken aside at immigration.
"I could see them smiling when they read my file," he says.
"I just sat with my head down, kept my mouth shut. After a period of time they called me to the desk and said I was free to go."
And this year Lush was accused of cashing in on the 2011 London riots, with the release of a perfume called the Lavender Hill Mob.
Named after an area of south London affected by the disturbances, the label featured a drawing of a burning building.
Mr Constantine insists that Lush was celebrating the groundswell of community sprit in the face of the violence and destruction, not glorifying the riots themselves.
Far from resenting all the criticism he gets, Mr Constantine seems to relish the fight. Perhaps because it hasn't been plain sailing to get to this point.
As a child, a difficult family life left him, aged 16, homeless and dependent on friends and charities.
A few years later, whilst working as a hairdresser in the late 1970s, he wrote to Anita Roddick, founder of an exciting new ethical brand - The Body Shop, to tell her about his natural haircare products.
Mr Constantine's then business - Constantine and Weir - eventually became The Body Shop's main supplier, until the Roddicks bought all the rights to its products in 1992 for £9m.
With the windfall he and his wife Mo set up a mail order company, Cosmetics to Go, but in less than 18 months it was clear it wasn't going to work.
"It was uncontrolled creativity, £9m and untrammelled creativity."
He says the money from the sale to the Body Shop meant they could all indulge their interests, but gave little incentive for discipline.
"I was showing off," admits Mr Constantine.
There was a period then when he felt overwhelmed with shame at Cosmetics to Go's failure.
"After that my colleagues fished me out and dusted me off, and said 'we're going to do something else'."
Which was when Lush was launched in 1995, out of the same warren of little rooms in Poole, Dorset, where Cosmetics to Go had operated. But this time it was with next to no capital.
Once the company was established, Mr Constantine even offered to buy The Body Shop, which the Roddicks had decided to sell, due to Anita's terminal illness.
They turned him down, selling instead to corporate giant L'Oreal in 2006, something which still upsets him. Lush represents just a tiny fraction of the enormous global cosmetics industry, but Mr Constantine says he wouldn't ever sell his own company to a big player.
Angry with the Roddicks at the time, he put up banners at Lush stores saying "Are you fed up with the BS?"
"I might be slightly ashamed of that now," says Mr Constantine. He hadn't realised how ill Anita was.
But for the most part he's prepared to take whatever reaction he gets for his belligerent approach.
"If you're going to shove your head above the parapet, you are going to be sniped at," he says.
And while these campaigns certainly rile some people, Lush has avoided the most obvious pitfall of a company that takes an ethical stance on so many issues.
"So far, Lush has managed to avoid heavy criticism for being deceptive, or misleading, in its claims in terms of product," says Anusha Couttigane at retail analysis firm Conlumino.
"While you can question its methods when it comes to public debate, it hasn't been called out for hypocrisy."

Wendy Bell and Amanda Carroll were sentenced with four others at Bradford Crown Court for the fraud against 92-year-old widow Audrey Hammond.
The pair overcharged Mrs Hammond for her home care.
Bell, 57, from Cullingworth, was jailed for three years and six months. Carroll, 44, of Shipley, was sentenced to three years and five months.
Bell's daughter, Lisa Bell, 30, Linda Mynott, 60, and Alice Barker, 59, all received suspended jail sentences.
A sixth carer, Caron Gilbert, 33, was handed a 12-month community order.
Judge Colin Burn told said the overcharging was "so excessive that it must have been dishonest".
"There could be, in the crown's case, no other explanation," he said.
Wendy Bell and Carroll played a leading role in the fraud of Ms Hammond, of Cracoe in Skipton, North Yorkshire, the judge added.
He said: "You must take the central responsibility for a scheme which exposed Mrs Hammond, wealthy though she was, to massive financial loss resulting from blatant dishonesty."
He has been suspended while the club investigates the incident during an under-20s match against St Johnstone in which the 30-year-old was sent off.
Caley Thistle manager John Hughes will not reveal details of the episode.
"We police ourselves and I think what we've done is the right action," he told BBC Scotland.
"I'm right behind the club in terms of our actions and what we did.
"It shows that the image of the club and values we try to put out to the city of Inverness and the young players at Inverness.
"I think the action we've taken has shown Scottish football that we're trying to do right for Scottish football and we don't have the SFA telling us what to do."
Hughes refused to speculate about what might happen to Lopez, the club having announced on Wednesday that they had suspended the Spaniard until further notice.
"There's still an investigation going on, we're still waiting on referee's reports, but one thing I will say is the image and profile of the club is foremost," he said.
"The action we have taken in terms of suspending Dani from the club until we know more is the right action.
"We'll not stand for any misdemeanour. I really stand by that. What happens in the future? I still think we have to sit down and make sure these decisions are calculated decisions that we're taken.
"You have to take the player into account as well. Dani is a foreign player over here, he's got his wife and kid. He's not got much support around him."
St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright has praised Caley Thistle's actions.
"They have acted swiftly and, if the alleged incident is proved to be right, they have taken the right course of action and I've got to commend them for the way they've handled it," he said.
Wright was not at the game but has had reports from his own coaching staff.
"I haven't spoken to the young player that was involved, but he's reacted and got sent off," said Wright. "He's disappointed he reacted to the incident.
"You have to be careful what you say. It is an alleged incident, but if it is proven what it is alleged to be, I think we've got to stamp that sort of thing out of the game."
Lopez has scored once in nine appearances since joining the Highlanders on a one-year deal in July after leaving La Roda in the summer.
He has played for several clubs in his homeland and has also had spells at Stevenage, Aldershot Town and Barnet.
John McAreavey offered a sum that is almost twice the average annual salary when he spoke at a news conference in Port Louis, Mauritius, on Tuesday.
He appealed to people to come forward about the death of his wife, Michaela.
He said they had felt "let down" and even "betrayed" by a process that, he said, had failed them.
Michaela was strangled in a hotel while on honeymoon on the island six years ago.
It is rare for rewards to be used in Mauritius, but Mr McAreavey said he believed something needed to be done to break the deadlock in the case. He wants those who killed Michaela, 27, to be brought to justice.
Mr McAreavey told journalists at the conference that, over the past six and half years, Michaela's family's resolve to win justice for her remained "undiminished".
"We believe we have given the Mauritian authorities every chance to deliver on their very public promise that justice would be done," he said.
"However, until this visit, the reality falls far short of that and as the years have passed, it appears that the unofficial policy has become one of 'out of sight - out of mind.'
"But we have no intention of just slipping out of mind or sight. Michaela deserves justice and we intend to get it. We should not have needed to make this very painful return journey."
He said that, quite bluntly, they had felt "let down time and time again".
"We take some comfort from the assurances given by the prime minister yesterday that Michaela will get justice, but to achieve that we need the help of those who may know something, but have not yet come forward for whatever reason," he said.
The family hopes that the substantial reward they are offering, will send "a powerful message" about their determination to get justice.
"As time marches on this could be our final chance to obtain justice for Michaela, but we can't do it alone. We need the help of the people of Mauritius. Please help us as our fight goes on," he said.
Mr McAreavey said if he had to come back to Mauritius again and again, he would do it.
On Monday, he met Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth after police told him an elite task force was now working on the investigation into his wife's murder.
Mrs McAreavey, 27, was found strangled in a bath at a luxury hotel 12 days after her wedding in January 2011. Two hotel workers were tried for murder, but found not guilty in 2012.
Mauritian police launched a fresh investigation following the trial, but it came to nothing.
Mr McAreavey has travelled to Mauritius with his sister, Claire, and Mark Harte, Michaela's eldest brother, saying he was prepared "to go to the ends of the earth to ensure that justice is achieved for Michaela".
Mr McAreavey remarried in September last year.
Luciano Vietto opened the scoring for the hosts in the 25th minute with a low finish and the Argentine striker tapped in a second three minutes later.
Wissam Ben Yedder fired home in the 34th minute and, two minutes later, Vitolo's close-range goal made it 4-0.
Sevilla defender Adil Rami was sent off just after the hour mark before Sandro Ramirez netted Malaga's consolation.
The victory helped Sevilla to close the gap on La Liga leaders Real Madrid, who are away at the Club World Cup in Japan, to four points.
Barcelona will overtake Sevilla with victory over city rivals Espanyol in their clash at the Nou Camp on Sunday.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Saul Niguez scored the only goal of the game as Atletico Madrid clinched a hard-fought 1-0 win over Las Palmas.
Villarreal remain in fourth spot after their 3-1 win over Sporting Gijon. They are ahead of Real Sociedad, who beat Granada 2-0 away from home, on goal difference.

He told BBC Wales the country was facing a "real crisis" in terms of energy supply unless investment was made in such innovative schemes.
Mr Hendry led the independent review which supported the plans.
He met business leaders and assembly members about the plan.
Mr Hendry said he had never seen such enthusiasm among local people and businesses about a project of this scale.
The UK Government is considering the findings of his year-long review into the viability of tidal lagoons.
Ministers were, he said, being "quite tight lipped" about where they stand, but Mr Hendry repeated his view that backing the concept was "in the national interest".
"We need to make decisions now for how we generate the power which we know we're going to need in 2020s," he said.
"We know we've got £100bn to invest in new energy infrastructure - and if we don't get on with that work we are going to to have real crisis as we won't have demand.
"So if we want that investment to happen, if we want supply chain to invest in creating new jobs then we have to give them the signals to go forward.
"We can always wait for something better to come along but actually eventually you have to get on a bus - and you've got to say 'I want to get there, I want to go to that destination'. And if you're forever waiting for the next thing to happen you'll never start."
He urged members of the public to write to Prime Minister Theresa May and other UK Government figures to make their views know.
Mr Hendry briefed members of the assembly's climate commitees at the Senedd.
He then greeted an audience of 80 business leaders and local council representatives at the Wales Millennium Centre.
Gower MP Byron Davies said the project "breaks the mould" in cross-party support and echoed the call.
"It is imperative that it is now given a green light so that construction can begin as soon as is possible," he said.
Mr Davies, who introduced Mr Hendry at the business and council briefing, said there were "no points to be scored here - this is one issue on which we are united".
Mr Hendry's independent report into the technology's viability earlier this month said it would make a "strong contribution" to the UK's energy supply.
He said it was cost effective and would bring "significant economic opportunity".
Analysis: Lagoons could transform UK coastline
The UK Government still needs to agree on a deal and a marine licence would also need to be approved.
There are hopes of developing a network of larger lagoons around the UK coast, including in Cardiff and Colwyn Bay, harnessing power from the ebb and flow of the sea's tides.
But Mr Hendry believes the technology should be tested first with the "pathfinder" Swansea project.
Phil Jardine, partner in Blake Morgan solicitors, who was at the briefing, said he believed the positivity from Mr Hendry was unprecedented.
"This is one of the most exciting things to land in Wales in recent times. It's a chance to put Wales back on the international map and regenerate in so many ways. We now need to see delivery".
Mike Unsworth, director of engineering construction for Tidal Lagoon Power, said they wanted to be in a position to start building work in early 2018.
"We're ready to go and the strength of Charles Hendry's report was basically saying to government, this is a no regrets decision, just get on with it. We're shovel-ready and keen to get on and build this.
"This whole community are fully engaged and supportive of this project, they want it to start moving and for us to start building it. It's not just a power station, there are so many amenities and tourist opportunities this project can deliver for the area."
But he said the UK, including Wales, needed to be a "first mover" in the technology and so other countries followed and "did not take the lead".
Their forecast is based on actual transactions for the first four months of this year.
Official figures showed that prices fell by 0.8% compared to the last quarter of 2016, but were 4.3% higher compared to the same period a year ago.
PwC have forecast an average increase of 3.7% in 2017 nationally.
Looking forward to 2020, PwC's Economic Outlook forecasts that the average Northern Ireland property will cost £134,000, just under 9% more than the 2016 average of £123,000.
That is well below the UK average, where property prices are expected to grow by around 36% between 2016 and 2020.
A major factor pointed to by PwC is that real wages and household disposable incomes in Northern Ireland have been slow to recover from the impact of the financial crisis.
However there is no consensus - in its most recent forecast the Ulster University Economic Policy Centre said it expects prices to rise by more than 3% in 2017.
The centre also forecast a rise of more than 2% in 2018.
House prices in Northern Ireland effectively doubled between 2005 and 2007 before suffering a calamitous collapse.
Prices bottomed out in 2013 and have been on a gentle upward trend since then.
Sinnott was the second longest serving manager in the non-league top-flight, behind Woking boss Garry Hill.
The 50-year-old helped the Robins earn promotion from the Conference North in 2014, and led them to the FA Cup second round earlier this season.
But the club has failed to win in seven league games and are 21st in the table, one point adrift of safety.
Assistant manager Neil Tolson has been named caretaker manager ahead of Saturday's game at Barrow.
"It has been a privilege to work with Lee, a man of integrity and honesty," chairman Grahame Rowley said in a statement on the club website.
"I am extremely sorry to see him go, his shoes will be hard to fill. Altrincham Football Club are proud to have had him as their manager."
Former defender Sinnott made more than 600 first team appearances for Walsall, Watford, Bradford City, Crystal Palace, Huddersfield Town, Oldham Athletic and Scarborough during his playing career.
Ahead of their arrival at his residence, Mr Netanyahu again denied any wrongdoing.
He told the media and political rivals to "hold off partying", adding: "Nothing will happen, because there is nothing."
Israeli media have reported allegations that he has received significant gifts or "favours" from businessmen.
Investigators questioned the PM at his central Jerusalem residence for about three hours, the Jerusalem Post newspaper says.
Mr Netanyahu told his Likud party legislators earlier on Monday: "We hear all the media reports. We see and hear the festive spirit and atmosphere in television studios and in the corridors of the opposition.
"I want to tell them to wait for the celebrations. Do not rush. I told you and I repeat: There will be nothing because there is nothing. You will continue to inflate hot air balloons and we will continue to lead the state of Israel."
However, Ynet quoted the leader of the Zionist Union, Isaac Herzog, as saying: "This isn't a happy day. This is a hard day for the state of Israel. We are not gloating."
Opponents of Mr Netanyahu have called for an investigation into his affairs following a series of scandals in recent months - none of which have resulted in charges.
Last month, an investigation was opened into the purchase of new submarines from Germany, after it was claimed that Mr Netanyahu's lawyer represented the company during negotiations.
Earlier this year, convicted French fraudster Arnaud Mimran claimed he had donated hundreds of thousands of euros to Mr Netanyahu's 2009 election campaign - something the prime minister denies.
He has also been accused of wasting public money, including $127,000 (£102,000) on a customised private bedroom on a single flight to the UK.
Similar allegations have followed the prime minister since his original term in office two decades ago.
In 2000, Israeli police recommended that criminal charges be brought against Mr Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, after an eight-month investigation into whether he had kept official gifts that should have been handed over to the state after he left office.
At the same time, they were also accused of charging the government for the services of a contractor who did private work for them.
All those charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA), based in Canary Wharf in London, employ more than 1,000 staff between them.
The Republic of Ireland has offered about €80m (£70m) across a decade to help the EMA relocate to Dublin.
Competing against other EU bids, it says a Dublin move would be the least disruptive for the agencies' staff.
The Irish application was officially submitted on Monday ahead of a midnight deadline.
Cities competing to host EMA
Cities competing to host EBA
The Irish government has committed to spending €15m (£13.5m) in the first year to help the EMA fit out the selected premises, and an annual contribution of €7m annually for rent and maintenance.
The banking and medicines agencies are seen as the first spoils of Brexit by the 27 remaining members of the EU.
The Irish government has earmarked three potential locations for the EMA headquarters, two in Dublin's docklands financial district and another by the city's airport.
Ireland's economy is likely to suffer damage as a result of Brexit so landing one of the EU agencies would be some compensation.
The EMA looks like its best chance with the bid emphasising Ireland's expertise in life science and a proximity to London which could help the agency hold on to key staff.
However what could count against it is a previous EU commitment to spread agencies more evenly across the union.
Ireland is already home to Eurofound, an EU agency which monitors labour markets.
In the EBA bid's brochure, Irish Minister of State for Financial Services says the city offers a "seamless transition as Ireland is English speaking and culturally similar to London and is within the GMT time zone which helps maintain EBA routine option with minimal disruption".
There will be fierce competition to attract the agencies' highly skilled employees, their families and the business that comes with them. This includes about 40,000 hotel stays for visitors each year.
Each country could bid to host one or both agencies, but was only allowed one bid per agency.

Frankfurt - location of the European Central Bank and a major financial centre - is seen as favourite location for the EBA, but Paris is also keen to win that contest.
The European Commission will assess the entries based on the quality of office space, job opportunities for spouses, good "European-oriented" schooling and transport links.
Accessibility and efficient infrastructure are the top two agreed criteria.
EU leaders agreed on the procedure in June, and a final decision on the relocation will be made in November.
Meyne Wyatt, 24, will make his debut as Nate Kinski on 13 August. The episode will be shown on 27 August in the UK on Channel 5.
The soap has featured indigenous actors before but not in the main cast.
The show, based in a fictional suburb outside Melbourne, has been accused of not reflecting ethnic diversity during its 29-year history.
Previous indigenous actors who have appeared in the soap include Tony Briggs in the late 1980s.
He was the first Aboriginal actor to appear on the show.
In 2012, a South Asian family, called the Kapoors, moved into Ramsay Street, but they were written out of the soap a year later.
Actor Sachin Joab, who played Ajay Kapoor, told Digital Spy last year: "It was more of a shock to us knowing that it wasn't just one multicultural actor who was being written out, it was every single multicultural full-time actor on the show.
"All four of us were written out in the first year of our full-time contracts, which felt like a massive step backwards in terms of cultural diversity on the show.
"Australia is stuck in some sort of time capsule... For some reason when it's fiction over here, the industry chooses to exclude non-whites and include whites only. It's very unrealistic given that Australia is a very multicultural country," he added.
But speaking to the Guardian about casting Wyatt, Neighbours' series producer Jason Herbison said: "While cultural diversity is definitely important, in cases where we don't need a specific ethnic background, our brief to agents is to put forward their best people and that was the case for this character."
Born in the remote town of Kalgoolie in western Australia, Wyatt's passion for acting emerged when he attended boarding school in Perth.
He graduated from the country's National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA), and was named best newcomer in the 2011 Sydney theatre awards.
He recently completed the feature film Strangerland starring Nicole Kidman, Joseph Fiennes and Guy Pearce, due for release in 2015.
His Neighbours character already has a connection with two of Ramsay Street's long-term residents, Susan and Karl Kennedy. Susan was previously married to Nate's uncle.
Pickford, 23, has impressed this season, despite the Black Cats' relegation from the Premier League, and won a first England call-up in October.
Everton are rumoured to be interested in Pickford and are prepared to offer £15m for the England Under-21 international.
"It would need to be a really, really big offer," said Moyes.
"I have said all through the season that sometimes on your journey, you may have to sell to improve.
"But I have heard some really derisory sort of figures getting mentioned, and it wouldn't be any of those figures, I can tell you that."
When asked if Pickford's asking price would be in the region of £30m, Moyes replied: "Yes."
A £30m transfer would make Pickford the second most expensive goalkeeper of all time, after Gianluigi Buffon's £33m move from Parma to Juventus in 2001.
Marlowe has long been suspected in some quarters of having a hand in some of Shakespeare's works.
The two dramatists will now jointly appear on the title pages for the Henry VI plays in New Oxford Shakespeare.
Researchers have verified Marlowe's contribution "strongly and clearly enough", editor Gary Taylor said.
Marlowe, who is known for writing plays including Doctor Faustus, was first suspected of contributing to Henry VI Parts I, II and III - along with other Shakespeare plays - as far back as the 18th Century.
But this marks the first time he has received an official credit.
Scholars working on New Oxford Shakespeare, a collection of all of Shakespeare's known works, said his collaboration with other playwrights was more extensive than has previously been known.
The research, by 23 international scholars, has identified 17 of 44 Shakespeare plays as being co-written with other authors.
The new research involved both traditional textual analysis and the use of computerised tools to examine the scripts.
Gary Taylor, one of the New Oxford Shakespeare's general editors, told The Guardian: "We have been able to verify Marlowe's presence in those three plays strongly and clearly enough.
"We can now be confident that they didn't just influence each other, but they worked with each other. Rivals sometimes collaborate."
Carol Rutter, professor of Shakespeare and performance studies at the University of Warwick, told BBC News: "It will still be open for people to make up their own minds. I don't think [Oxford University Press] putting their brand mark on an attribution settles the issue for most people."
But it is clear Shakespeare did work with several other figures in theatre at the time, she added.
"I believe Shakespeare collaborated with all kinds of people... but I would be very surprised if Marlowe was one of them," she said.
"The reason for that is that while these were being written, Marlowe was the poster boy of theatre writing. Why would he agree to collaborate with a non-entity of an actor?"
Asked who else might have influenced Shakespeare's work, Prof Rutter said: "I would suggest we should look not to another playwright but to the actors.
"Yes, Shakespeare collaborated. But it's much more likely that he started his career working for a company where he was already an actor, and collaborated not with another playwright but with the actors - who will have had Marlowe very much in their heads, on the stage, in their voices.
"They were the ones putting Marlowe's influence into the plays."
Prof Rutter added: "We have really stopped thinking about the richness of the writing experience in the early modern theatre, and by crediting Marlowe, people like Gary Taylor are making us attend to that."
The authorship of Shakespeare's works have been debated for centuries. Academics have suggested that four writers - including Marlowe - wrote some or all of his plays.
The film Anonymous, released in 2011, suggested Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, was behind the playwright's works.
Actor Mark Rylance, who appeared in the film, also chairs the Shakespearean Authorship Trust, the society which has argued since 1922 that the writer was unlikely to be the true author of the plays credited to him.
Other playwrights put forward as being the real authors include Sir Francis Bacon and William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby.
High-profile figures who have voiced doubts about Shakespeare being the true author include Charlie Chaplin and Mark Twain, who said: "So far as anybody actually knows and can prove, Shakespeare of Stratford-on-Avon never wrote a play in his life."

Chasing a revised target of 76 in 10 overs after rain, Scotland won by eight wickets with 12 balls to spare thanks to Matthew Cross' rapid 22.
Mark Chapman made 40 in Hong Kong's modest 127-7 as Matt Machan took 2-26.
Earlier on the same ground, Afghanistan beat Zimbabwe to top the group and qualify for the Super 10s.
Scotland's win earned them third place in the group, with Hong Kong bottom after losing all three matches.
Beaten by Afghanistan and Zimbabwe in their opening two games, Scotland's sequence without a win at a major tournament stretched back to the 1999 World Cup.
"It's a great day for Scottish cricket," said man-of-the-match Machan, who hit the winning runs to finish 15 not out off four balls.
"We haven't played our best cricket this week but we've got the monkey off our back and we're very happy."
Scotland captain Preston Mommsen added: "It's huge - it's been a long time coming.
"The boys are absolutely chuffed to get on the board. There will be a few cold ones cracked open tonight."
Scotland's victory owed much to the discipline of their bowling attack, with slow left-armer Con de Lange and seamer Richie Berrington conceding fewer than five runs an over.
Although Chapman helped Hong Kong recover from 33-3 alongside Anshuman Rath, they struggled to find the boundary until Nizakat Khan hit two sixes in his 17 off 10 balls late on.
Scotland's chase, delayed by a second rain delay lasting 45 minutes, was little more than a formality.
Cross provided the early impetus, opener Kyle Coetzer made a patient unbeaten 20 and Machan wrapped up victory with a six over deep mid-wicket. | A cross-party group of politicians in Northern Ireland have won the right to mount a legal challenge over Brexit.

The capital's museums make up the top three most googled museums in the world, with the Science Museum leading the results.
The research was carried out to launch London's Autumn Season of Culture.
It also stated that the Natural History Museum was the second most searched-for and the British Museum was third.
The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC, followed in the findings.
The research was carried out by London & Partners, the London mayor's official promotional company.
The director of the Science Museum, Ian Blatchford, said: "It's fantastic that so many people across world are seeking out the Science Museum, and this new data provides yet more evidence of the world class status of British museums."
London Mayor Boris Johnson added that "London is without a doubt the cultural capital of the world".
London's theatres also generate more searches than those in any other city, and the capital is the most searched for city in the world to visit, figures show.
South Wales Police said a car and a heavy goods vehicle collided on Llanharry Road, Llanharry, at about 08:30 BST on Saturday.

Their condition is unknown and the road was closed for several hours.
Danielle Stoton, 19, went to The Gatehouse, Doncaster, with her mother Michelle on Saturday to meet a friend.
But Miss Stoton was refused service at the bar, despite showing a card explaining her medical condition.
Pub owner J D Wetherspoon said: "This was an error and one which we wholeheartedly apologise for."
Updates on this story and more from around South Yorkshire
Miss Stoton suffered brain injuries, leaving her with slurred speech, in a hit-and-run in Armthorpe, Doncaster, in August 2014.
Her mother said it had been a "huge step" in Danielle's rehabilitation to go into a pub and order drinks and she had been apprehensive before the visit.
She admitted Danielle had sworn at bar staff after being refused service, but was still asked to leave after showing the pub's manager a card detailing the effects of her injuries.
"The front lobe damage to Danielle does cause short temper", she said, but added the experience had "been a real setback", for her daughter.
Mrs Stoton said the effects of her daughter's injuries were still "really raw after bringing Danielle up for 18 years to be independent".
Wetherspoon's spokesman Eddie Gershon said Miss Stoton should have been served by a staff member at the pub on Priory Walk.
"We will be retraining our staff in relation to this incident and will carry out a full investigation", he added.
The driver who hit Danielle was sentenced to eight months in prison and a two-year driving ban after pleading guilty in May.
Images appeared to show Drissa Traore, Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill and Jeremy Balmy taking the legal high, commonly known as laughing gas, via balloons.

Meldonium was developed to treat diabetes and heart-related diseases but could have a positive effect on stamina and endurance because it can increase the flow of oxygen to muscles.
It was added to the World Anti-Doping Agency's (Wada) list of banned substances on 1 January 2016.
Sharapova, who says she has been taking meldonium for 10 years for health reasons, has had some sponsorship deals ended or postponed.
The International Tennis Federation said she will be provisionally suspended from 12 March.
Sisters of Nazareth nuns thumped and kicked children at Termonbacca, the first witness to give evidence said.
The former resident described the home as a "hell-hole" and likened it to a concentration camp.
He said children were forced to clean floors in a chain, with their arms linked and rags under both feet.
The inquiry is investigating abuse claims against children's residential institutions from 1922 to 1995.
The witness said he was once sexually abused by a woman at the home, although he could not recall if it was a nun or a civilian worker.
The Sisters of Nazareth order of nuns ran two homes in Londonderry, Nazareth House Children's Home and St Joseph's Home, Termonbacca.
At the start of the inquiry earlier this month, a lawyer representing the nuns read out an apology for the abuse suffered by children in their homes.
The witness said on Tuesday that this apology had "left him numb".
Later, a second resident of Termonbacca said he was beaten by older boys at the home.
"I thought I was going to die - it was torture to face another day," he said.
He thanked the inquiry for reuniting him with his siblings for the first time in 40 years.
A third witness, a man who is now 74, told the inquiry that he remembers being beaten every day and wetting the bed every night.
He said the children who wet the bed were forced to strip naked and made to stand in a queue to have a bath in Jeyes Fluid.
He broke down as he described how the nuns had gallon drums with Jeyes Fluid that would sting their skin and eyes.
He said it was not too bad if you were first in, but it got topped as each child got into the bath - all being bathed in the same water.
The Derry homes are among a total of 13 residential institutions currently under investigation by the inquiry.
Some of them were run by state authorities, others by voluntary organisations and the remainder were operated by the Catholic Church.
To date, 434 people have contacted the inquiry to allege they were abused as children.
Residents in Chinnor and Thame as well as Princes Risborough, Aylesbury and Bledlow in Buckinghamshire reported feeling shaking late on Sunday.
The BGS said the earthquake, centred on the village of Emmington, happened at 23:11 GMT.
Seismologist Glen Ford said: "The fact it was noticed makes it a bit special."
Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire
A caller to BBC Radio Oxford, who lives in Chinnor, said: "The whole place shook - it was more than a wind and rattled the windows."
People also took to social media to post comments after experiencing the late-night movement.
Anna Edwards tweeted: "Earthquake or explosion? Something moved n S Oxon. Felt in Chinnor & Thame."
Chris White tweeted: "Bucks earth quake? We felt it, house shook, low noise!"
Emily Smith also posted: "Magnitude 2.3 earthquake in Bucks last night, that explains the house shaking then."
The BGS said the quake was one of about a dozen felt in the UK each year.
Mr Ford said: "Old geological faults still get activated by the stresses which are put on them from the major fault lines we have, and every now and again these pressures are released with a small earthquake."
He added: "It was a very small earthquake, but in UK terms it was significant as it was actually felt by the general public - 90% of earthquakes go completely unnoticed."
In a witness statement read out ahead of the sentencing of Becky's killers at Bristol Crown Court, Tanya Watts said she was left with only "continuing nightmares... and her grave to visit".
Nathan Matthews, 28, was sentenced to 33 years for murdering his stepsister in a sexually motivated kidnap plot.
His partner, Shauna Hoare, 21, was jailed for 17 years for manslaughter.
Ms Watts said the details of her daughter's death were "unbearable".
"Becky has been robbed of her future and we have been robbed of all those future milestones," she added.
"Every day has been a living nightmare and if that wasn't bad enough, for some reason that I will never ever be able to understand, after my daughter was murdered, she was mutilated, cut into pieces.
"It's like the worst of all horror movies but this is real, this is my child. She was only 16."
Read more on the Becky Watts murder case:
In another witness impact statement, Becky's father Darren Galsworthy described what happened to her as a plot that was "borne out of hatred, jealousy and greed".
"They [Matthews and Hoare] sat in our home knowing what they had done and watched my very public descent into madness and despair.
"They said nothing and carried on with the pretence of helping us and showed no emotion at all."
"Not only did they cruelly rob Becky of life, they also took her dignity in death. When I close my eyes to sleep I see Becky's death over and over again. I see what they did to my child."
Matthews suffocated his step-sister at her home in Crown Hill, Bristol, on 19 February.
He moved her body to the home he shared with Hoare, less than two miles away in Cotton Mill Lane, and in the days that followed he used tools to dismember and package Becky's body.
Hoare was also convicted of perverting the course of justice and preventing a lawful burial, charges which Matthews admitted.
Comparisons with the kings of world football would have certainly ensured laughs on Saturday as the promotion-chasing Swans completed their own unwanted treble of defeats by the Championship's bottom three.
Clearly losing at Preston North End rarely offers comparison of the super-slick Champions League quarter-finalists but, defeat or not, the Catalan giants of Barcelona are the model on which Swansea's principles, both on and off the pitch, are built.
Brendan Rodgers is a footballing connoisseur and demands the beautiful game be played the "right way" however ugly the opposition might try to make it.
Yet the Swansea manager is not entirely responsible for his side's distinctive style of football, it was pre-ordained before he won the job when it become vacant in 2010.
We run a common sense business and when clubs change their playing squads to suit a new manager, it seems completely wrong to us
"Managers have to accept our way of doing things or they don't take the job," Swans chairman Huw Jenkins tells any interested party.
Swansea's pass-and-move penchant for dominating in possession and pressing without the ball - perfected by Pep Guardiola's Barca superstars to universal celebration - has not just earned acclaim but a serious push for Premier League football on a relatively shoestring budget.
Barcelona are the blueprint for footballing wannabes like Swansea, where defenders are urged to play rather than hoof the ball into row z and midfielders are comfortable with the ball at their feet.
"The main priority of British teams is power and pace," said the chairman.
"Whereas we look at players who can actually play football and we develop a system from that.
"Everyone looks at Barcelona and the majority of Spanish teams play a similar system as do a majority of Dutch teams and there was no coincidence that Spain and Holland contested the most recent World Cup final.
"It is a pretty obvious that is a successful way to play but the majority of British managers choose to ignore it."
Regardless of their Deepdale result, Swansea's frugal approach to managing both their team and managing their club is pretty unique in British football.
Rodgers is Swansea's third manager in as many seasons but there was no need for transitions and huge squad upheaval between bosses because of the board's carefully considered managerial selection process.
Swansea have no luxury of a bottomless financial pit, so in an effort to cut down on player acquisitions - plus subsequent transfer, signing-on and agent fees - their squad filled with footballers must be appreciated by any new man in the hotseat.
"We feel that to compete at this level of football, we need to do things a little bit different," said Jenkins.
"There are few professions that allow a manager to come into business and change everything that the business has been doing for the last 10 years.
"When we got to the Championship, to compete with bigger clubs we had to analyse what we feel they do wrong and see how we can improve.
"We run a common sense business and when clubs change their playing squads to suit a new manager, it seems completely wrong to us.
"If a manager is lucky enough to come and work for us then he has to adopt our principles.
"And we have continued to progress despite managerial changes over the last three years so it shows our principles are working."
Roberto Martinez laid the footballing foundations of playing with a joie de vivre before leaving for Premier League Wigan Athletic in 2009 after guiding Swansea to eighth in the Championship in their first season back in English football's second tier.
Paulo Sousa, much maligned by Swans fans for the lack of a cutting-edge, added a steely backbone as he ushered Swansea to seventh before leaving for Leicester in the summer of 2010.
And Rodgers is reaping rewards of Swansea's squad stability as this team have benefited from the experience of Martinez's offensive and Sousa's defensive drills.
The current incumbent has done a little fine-tuning as the Swans seem set to again go one better and finish in the Championship play-offs at the very least.
And despite such a lofty position, Jenkins presides over a club with the rare distinction of being able to post a profit - almost £600,000 at that - in the last financial year.
"We have players that been here for five years or more," said the chairman.
"And most have played and performed well under our last three managers. It is a sound business principle not to have a high turnover of staff."
Out-of-work Rodgers' appointment at the managerless Swans in the summer was not just a marriage of convenience, but a match made in footballing heaven.
"We probably had 20 candidates on our initial list," recalled Jenkins.
"But after stating our criteria of not bringing any backroom staff and using our own coaches, three-quarters of them withdrew their interest.
"After discussing with quite a few potential managers, when I talked football with Brendan it felt right.
"We shared similar football philosophies and he wanted to work at a club where he had time to put his ideas into place - and some of them were already here."
Swansea is a local club at the heart of their community and run by a consortium of local businessmen who saved the club from possible extinction during the dark days of bottom division football in 2002.
The fans-turned-owners also appointed a backroom staff of local legends as former Welsh internationals Colin Pascoe and Alan Curtis ensure coaching continuity at their club.
"We want continuity that whoever the manager is, or whether we're between managers, that the players come into a familiar environment and work with talented people they know well and love the club," said Jenkins.
"The idea is to coach a clear pattern of play. Players and managers come and go in football but the club try to make sure we're one step ahead."
Swansea's players now must learn how to remain one step ahead against sides, such as Preston, who feel they must get ugly to beat the "most attractive side in the division".
On Tuesday, seven schools received bomb threats. Similar incidents also occurred in other parts of the UK.
Police said there is nothing to suggest the incidents are terrorist-related.
"We continue to investigate who is responsible and whether these incidents are linked to similar calls made to seven schools earlier this week," Ch Supt Garry Eaton said on Friday.
Among the schools affected on Friday was Kilmaine Primary School in Bangor, County Down.
Ulster Unionist MLA Alan Chambers, whose grandchildren attend the school, said 600 children were moved from it to a nearby church.
"Fortunately, the pupils seemed to be taking events very much in their stride and did not seem to be distressed in any way, even though they had to leave the school without their coats or lunch boxes," he said.
"It was clear that the parents and grandparents who arrived to collect their children were upset at what had happened.
"I simply cannot conceive of the mentality of anyone who would target young children in his manner.
"The number of alerts that have been received this week indicate a degree of sophistication and organisation. It is imperative that the police act swiftly to catch whoever is responsible for this disruption."
Kilmaine PS principal Billy Campbell said they were interviewing for teaching jobs when the secretary came in said they had received a bomb threat.
"We immediately took the decision to evacuate the school. We had already thought about this beforehand because, in light of these other incidents happening at other schools, we thought 'what will we do if it happens here?'" he said
"So we had a plan in place already, which we hopefully weren't going to have to use, but it was there so we did it today.
"As soon as the message was received, the building was evacuated very professionally by all the teachers and classroom assistants, the children were all fantastically well behaved as I knew they would be."
Other schools threatened on Friday included Armstrong Primary School in Armagh and Omagh County Primary School.
Lock Jones has been out for six weeks after injuring his shoulder playing for Wales in their 20-18 Six Nations defeat by France in Paris in March.
Ospreys defence coach Brad Davies said there were still protocols to follow, but that Jones was close to fitness.
"He has got a chance to come into selection," said Davis.
Ospreys travel to Parc y Scarlets having all but secured a play-off spot in the Pro12, but with the chance of denying their hosts the honour of finishing as top Welsh club in the league this campaign.
The return of the 31-year-old Jones would prove a big boost to Ospreys, who have struggled for form of late, as they look to upset their rivals.
"He has been out training. He still has to come through some contact protocols," Davis told BBC Wales Sport.
"If he is going to take the park, it's important he is 100% and we can cover that back off at the end of the week.
"He has to prove his fitness and do a duty to him that everything is where it needs to be to deliver his best performance.
"We will cross that bridge later on in the week."
In January, Jones replaced Sam Warburton as Wales captain, but having been tipped to fill that role too for the British and Irish Lions this summer, it was Warburton who was handed the armband for the tour of New Zealand although Jones was named in Warren Gatland's squad.
Jones' return for his region will be welcomed by Gatland and Davis too admitted the Ospreys had missed their captain.
"He brings leadership, energy and world-class attributes. He is a world-class operator who we have probably missed out on the field in the last few weeks," Davis added.
"Any side who loses a player of that calibre are going to miss him.
"We are looking for him to seeing him back out on the park which is to play for the Ospreys, Wales and the British and Irish Lions.
"We have to do our part in making sure he is 100% fit in ticking all those boxes."
Ewan MacDonald's rink lost 7-1 to Canada as the hosts clinched their place in the first versus second play-off along with holders Norway.
China then defeated the Scots 10-3 to move above their opponents, who are now sitting in equal ninth place.
MacDonald's rink have three wins from their 10 matches with one game left.
His team - third Duncan Fernie, second Ruairidh Greenwood and lead Euan Byers - face third-placed Sweden in their final game, which starts at 23.30 BST, in Halifax.
MacDonald, 39, is a three-time world champion - playing second for Hammy McMillan in 1999 and third for David Murdoch in 2006 and 2009.
His rink finished ninth at the world championships last season.
However, they defended the Scottish title with a final victory against Murdoch last month, although Murdoch has been filling in as an alternate in Halifax.
There is no relegation from the Word Men's Curling Championships should the Scots finish bottom as qualification comes through the European Championships, which are this year held in November.
While Pat Simmons' Canadians clinched qualification by beating Scotland, Norway's Thomas Ulsrud did likewise with a 12-5 victory over Jiri Snitil's Czech Republic.
Both leaders went on to win their next two matches, with Norway defeating Japan 10-8 and Switzerland 6-4, while the Canadians edged out Japan 6-5 and Italy 7-6, to end their round-robin campaigns with only one defeat each.
Sweden have qualified for the semi-final play-off in third, with Switzerland, Finland and the United States chasing the remaining play-off spots.

The trust which runs which runs the Grade I-listed Wentworth Castle Gardens near Barnsley, South Yorkshire, said it could no longer afford to stay open.
The 18th Century gardens were renovated and the dilapidated Victorian conservatory re-opened in 2013.
Wentworth Castle and Stainborough Park Heritage Trust said it was working with Barnsley Council on the closure.
More than £20m has been spent on the gardens in the past few years, with 20 historic buildings and monuments restored.
Although the park and gardens attract tens of thousands of visitors a year, the trust said: "In recent years we have not been able to make enough money to cover the running costs [for] a year-round visitor attraction."
It is now hoped the grounds will be maintained and a sustainable future can be found.
John Edwards, chair of the trust, said: "It is with sadness we have decided that the gardens will have to close to the public.
"The trustees would like to say a huge thanks to all the staff, volunteers, friends and others who cherished and improved the gardens and parkland.
"They should all be very proud of the national recognition their achievements have created."
The house, Stainborough Hall, was renamed after Thomas Wentworth built a mock castle high on the estate in 1731
Each generation of the Wentworths added their own style to the house and gardens, introducing trees and exotic shrubs to the 40 acres of formal gardens
Captain Bruce Vernon-Wentworth sold the house to the Barnsley Corporation in 1949, and it was established as a teacher training college
The ornate 19th Century conservatory was restored in 2013
The Northern College of Adult Residential Education is now based at the site. It will not be affected, said the trust

"It will be whoever is best on any given day and whichever one is chosen, the other will support them. It's down to them to battle it out."
Until 22, Mooney was working as a barman and playing non-league football before he joined Wycombe in 2011.

The versatile defender believes that insular South African players need to broaden their horizons, and look at options overseas, which in turn could help boost the national side.
"The majority of our Bafana Bafana [national team] all play locally and it is having a negative effect on us against other established teams in Africa," Ngcongca told BBC Sport.
Former international stars like Lucas Radebe, Benni McCarthy, Shaun Bartlett, Quinton Fortune and Steven Pienaar have all excelled in Europe in the last two decades.
In recent times, South African players who have ventured overseas have not shown significant improvement.
But Ngcongca says the benefits of playing abroad far outweigh the disadvantages.
"When you look at a team in the class of Ivory Coast and Ghana at the 2015 Nations Cup, they've got players playing in Europe and you can see the big difference.
"It showed in how well they started the tournament and both ended up in the final, but South Africa lacked that mental ability, toughness, exposure and experience," Ngcongca added.
The Troyes defender says it is time for his fellow South African players to be courageous.
"If we can get some of our players into Europe I'm sure we'll be a better team. They should not be afraid to move abroad because that is where they will be exposed to a different level."
"It wouldn't hurt them to come abroad and play on a big stage where they can improve as players.
"The fear in Europe is how to adjust to the language and the weather. I also faced same challenges but it was my dream to play in Europe so I was determined to succeed.
"Growing up, I wanted to play in the Champions League and when the opportunity to play in Genk came I grabbed it and I have never looked back," Ngcongca said.
Ngcongca admits that there are some obvious reasons why players might choose to stay in South Africa.
"The obvious problem with South Africans struggling to come to Europe is that they are well paid at home and these players don't want to leave the comfort zone.
"All the trailblazers like Benni, the big man Lucas [Radebe] and others, sacrificed a lot to succeed in Europe. In the end they got the benefits as they went on to qualify and play at the World Cup - making big transfer moves as well.
"You cannot force anyone to follow the same path as others, but for self-development - and to succeed as a nation - we need to challenge ourselves against the best on a regular basis at the top.
"Our generation was lucky to play at the 2010 World Cup and the Nations Cup three years later at home - only because we hosted these events.
"For us to qualify for both tournaments [2017 Nations Cup and 2018 World Cup] it will be a great achievement for our generation but to make an impact we must first test ourselves with the very best in the world."
The fixture originally took place on 11 September but was abandoned after 28 minutes because of a hailstorm.
Fiorentina could not play the remainder of the fixture until this month because of their Europa League commitments.
When it did finally go ahead, Genoa won the game 1-0 through Serbia international Darko Lazovic, who turned home a cross at the far post.

The National Living Wage, starting at £7.20 and rising to £9 an hour by 2020, replaces the £6.50 minimum wage.
The chancellor scrapped student grants and froze working age benefits but increased the overall tax take to slow the pace of welfare cuts.
Labour leader Harriet Harman said the Budget made "working people worse off".
Measures announced in the Budget statement include:
£47.2bn
raised through tax increases
£34.9bn
raised from cuts to welfare
Inheritance tax threshold rises to £1m
Corporation tax cut to 18%
Personal allowance rises to £11,000
National hourly "living wage" by 2020 of £9
Mr Osborne unveiled a downgraded growth forecast for the UK this year, of 2.4%, and pushed back the date at which the UK's public finances would move into surplus by a year to 2019-20.
The Office for Budget Responsibility said public spending would be £83bn higher over the next five years than Mr Osborne said in his March Budget - and the £24.6bn tax cuts announced in the Budget would be dwarfed by £47.2bn in tax rises, including the car tax changes and increasing the tax on insurance premiums from November.
Welfare cuts would add up to £35bn over the next five years.
Paul Johnson, of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said Mr Osborne's package was "overall a tax-raising Budget" but he had not been "as harsh as he said he was going to be" on welfare cuts, which would be spread over a longer period.
So it turns out George Osborne did not need Lib Dems in government to tell him to take off his hair shirt.
Because today's Budget is massively less austere than the one forged with them in March, just before the election.

Harman: Families will still suffer
Unveiling the first Conservative Budget since 1996, Mr Osborne said the UK economy today was "fundamentally stronger than it was five years ago", with living standards rising strongly.
And his Budget was "a plan for Britain for the next five years to keep moving us from a low wage, high tax, high welfare economy; to the higher wage, lower tax, lower welfare country we intend to create".
In a surprise announcement at the end of his speech, he said workers aged over 25 would be entitled to a "national living wage" from next April, to soften the impact of in-work benefit cuts.
The current minimum wage, which applies to those aged over 21, is £6.50. Those entitled to the "living wage" will get £7.20 and that will rise to £9 an hour by 2020. Labour had vowed to increase the minimum wage to £8 by 2020 during the general election campaign.
The move is expected to boost the wages of six million people but may cause firms to recruit more under-25s, who will be on a lower rate, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility.
The Treasury confirmed the measure would apply to both the public and private sectors.
Mr Osborne announced that the £26,000 benefit cap - the amount one household can claim in a year - would be cut to £23,000 in London and £20,000 in the rest of the country.
The government will also make local authority and housing association tenants in England who earn more than £30,000 - or £40,000 in London - pay up to the market rent, but rents in the social housing sector will be reduced by 1% a year for the next four years.
The chancellor unveiled "just under half" of the £37bn in cuts he says are needed to clear the deficit, with the remainder to come from cuts to government departments to be announced in the autumn.
The chancellor announced an estimated £4.5bn cut to the £30bn-a-year tax credits system, which tops up the wages of low-paid workers, significantly reducing the amount someone can earn before they start losing benefit money.
Support for children through tax credits and universal credits will also be limited to two children, affecting children born after April 2017 unless the third child is the result of twins, triplets or other multiple birth.
Tax credits are a type of welfare payment, introduced by Gordon Brown in 2003, that allow unemployed people to keep some of their benefits when they get a low-paid job and are also paid to disabled workers and those responsible for children. They are due to be phased out when Universal Credit is introduced.
In other Budget announcements, the chancellor increased the personal allowance - the amount people can earn before they start paying tax.
He also tightened up eligibility for "non dom" tax status and said the NHS would receive a further £8bn by 2020, on top of £2bn already committed.
In her Budget response, Labour's acting leader Harriet Harman said: "The chancellor is said to be liberated without the ties of coalition holding him back but what we have heard today suggests his rhetoric is liberated from reality."
"A Budget for working people? How can you make that claim when you are making working people worse off," she said.
"You are making working people worse off by cutting tax credits and scrapping grants for the poorest students."
UKIP MP Douglas Carswell said it might become "politically unsustainable" to keep public sector pay rises frozen at 1% for four years if the economy grew.
But he welcomed cuts to tax credits, saying "we've got to unravel the disastrous system that Gordon Brown created" where public money subsidises big firms paying low wages.
The SNP's economy spokesman and deputy leader, Stewart Hosie, said the Budget would hit the "the poorest and the most vulnerable" and do nothing to improve productivity or encourage innovation.
A Lib Dem spokesman said: "Amongst the gimmicks and giveaways, the chancellor has hidden four more years of pain, austerity, and cuts."
Business groups gave Mr Osborne's Living Wage announcement a mixed reaction, with the Institute of Directors saying it was "time for companies to increase pay" but the CBI saying the government was taking "a big gamble" on wage increases industry might not be able to deliver.
The Living Wage Foundation director Rhys Moore said the proposed £9 rate was a "massive victory" for campaigners, but that it was "effectively a higher national minimum wage and not a living wage", due to the different ways the two rates are calculated.
The TUC welcomed the Living Wage announcement but said Mr Osborne was "giving with one hand taking with the other" and "massive cuts in support for working people will hit families with children hardest".
But the judges have banned the practice of refunding the bride price on the dissolution of a marriage.
The custom of paying bride prices is widely practiced in Africa, but traditions vary, as some BBC Africa colleagues explain.
A bride price here is known as "lobola", where the groom's family presents either money or cows or both to the bride's family as a gesture of his willingness to marry her.
The payment of lobola is a sign of the man's commitment to take care of his wife and is seen as a symbolic act and a necessary part of upholding culture, rather than a purchase.
The term "lobola" is also used in southern Zimbabwe, but in Shona communities it is known as "roora" and while the tradition is to give cattle, this is now often replaced by cash - the amount is subject to negotiation.
There are several stages to the tradition and it is seen as a way of thanking the bride's family for bringing her up, but there is no sense that the bride is being bought.
The payment of bride price is customary in Senegal but largely symbolic.
A small amount of money and a kola nut is given to the bride's family at the mosque, after that the sum handed over can be any where from less than $100 to tens of thousands.
The Kenyan constitution outlaws the obligation to pay a bride price but it is widely understood that it will be paid.
Pastoral communities insist that it is paid in cattle and it has been cited as a cause of cattle rustling, whereas families in other communities will accept cash.
There is a sense that a transaction has taken place over the bride.
The bride price is commonly paid in Burkinabe culture and is largely a symbolic act.
There is no set amount and a little money is given, but it is mainly in goods such as kola nuts, drinks, cigarettes - and some ethnic groups may give a goat.
However, a bride's family is not normally too demanding.
In Niger there is an official maximum rate for a bride price of 50,000 CFA francs ($83, £54) but many pay much more than this.
The price is agreed between the families, but it is seen as a symbolic act rather than about buying the wife as Nigeriens say not matter how much is paid you cannot buy a human being.
Chris Wood, from Cardiff, killed himself in January 2013.
Charity Hafal said the Welsh Government needed to ensure health boards complied with care planning laws for people with mental ill-health.
Cardiff and Vale health board has apologised and said the findings had been recognised and accepted.
A Welsh Government spokesperson said it wanted to "see an end to inconsistency in mental health care".
Mr Wood took his first overdose when he was 21 in 2008. He attempted suicide a further 31 times in the four-and-a-half years after that.
An independent report into his death was commissioned by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and Mr Wood's mother Debbie's solicitor.
It said: "On the balance of probability, had Chris been provided with a reasonable standard of care, including being provided with a care co-ordinator and being provided with specific interventions for the personality problem with which he presented then on the balance of probability, his death would have been prevented."
Mr Wood had regular contact with mental health services from 2008.
The report raised concerns about the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board's care of Mr Wood.
It said: "…that Chris's care plan, such as it was, was inadequate and, in the matter of family involvement, I need to reiterate my grave concern regarding the lack of family involvement."
Mrs Wood feels there was confusion about her son's diagnosis and that life became very difficult as his condition worsened.
"Day-to-day life was as chaotic as his care, to be honest," she said.
"He didn't seem to be able to control how he was feeling and we hadn't really been given any explanation and we were struggling to understand it and to cope with it.
"He would disappear at night and my husband would be out late at night looking for him.
"Sometimes he would be found on the top of a bridge, on high buildings, other times he'd overdose or he'd harm himself in some other way."
The report, written by Prof Kevin Gournay CBE, said: "In the records that I have seen there is no evidence, in my opinion, that the risk of self-harm/suicide was competently and correctly assessed in 2012."
Mrs Wood said the family became increasingly dismayed as time went by.
"We spoke out about how we felt - that he needed more help and we needed more advice on how to deal with it - and in the last few months of Chris's life there were several crises."
Things became worse and on 26 January 2013 Mr Wood hanged himself. He was found by his parents.
"For my lovely son who we'd fought so hard to keep safe, to die in the street like that, it was just horrendous, it really was," said Mrs Wood.
"If anybody had actually just listened to anything we said and given Chris the appropriate help, this could have all been avoided.
"For us, that is the worst thing and will haunt us forever."
The coroner at Mr Wood's inquest did not find that neglect had contributed to his death.
However, the report was published three years after the inquest and Mrs Wood says it raises questions about the care her son received from Dr Sudad Jawad, who was his consultant psychiatrist from 2008 until his death.
Dr Jawad has since retired and Mrs Wood's complaints are being investigated by the GMC. He said it would be inappropriate for him to comment while the investigation was ongoing.
Hafal chief executive Alun Thomas said: "We hear too much that we've learned lessons from these kinds of cases, enough is enough and if people don't want to deliver to the Mental Health Measure they need to give up delivering the mental health services.
"We have some excellent services in Wales but we also have some very poor services in Wales and if it comes to a single health board improving that, then we'd be all for it."
A Cardiff and Vale University Health Board spokesperson said: "The health board has taken steps to address the issues raised in the independent report and has met with the family regularly and settled the case in line with the legal process.
"We are unable to go into the exact details of this difficult and lengthy legal case but would like to reassure the family and the public that changes have been made in response to the issues raised to mitigate this happening again.
"The health board has further developed the personality disorder service, Cynnwys, to provide better support for people with severe emotional, behavioural and relationship difficulties and the recommendations of the coroner have been implemented in full."
A Welsh Government spokesperson said: "We want to see an end to inconsistency in mental health care.
"We expect services to comply with national guidelines such as NICE and have introduced a Mental Health Measure to ensure that all individuals in secondary services have a care and treatment plan, and can ask for a reassessment if they are discharged.
"Mental health treatment, support and prevention services will be a priority for this government, with greater access to talking therapies at earlier stages in order to help people cope with emotional challenges."
Liam Smith played Cullen in on goal and his deflected effort left Rovers keeper Remi Matthews with no chance.
The visitors had the better of the first half with Matthews forced into saves by Danny Philliskirk and Cullen.
Rovers midfielder Tommy Rowe saw a shot come back off the crossbar after the break, but the defeat left them four points adrift of safety.
Doncaster, whose boss Darren Ferguson called Friday's 4-1 defeat by Colchester "a complete embarrassment", have now failed to win any of their last 14 league matches.
Cullen's late intervention gave Blackpool a second successive away win but they are just one point clear of the relegation zone.
Doncaster boss Darren Ferguson told BBC Radio Sheffield:
"It's a horrendous record, there's been some really poor performances.
"And you get to a situation like today when even though the performance is a better one and we're in the ascendancy, we still don't win the game.
"It was a must-win game and now we're in a really difficult situation, but we have to keep going, making sure we had the aggression we had today for the remaining games, and hope we can get out of it.
"We just switched off, the boy's hit it and it ricocheted off someone and gone in - it's something we need on our side and it just hasn't happened."
The Radisson Blu Hotel was stormed by special forces after gunmen entered it and seized 170 people, many of them foreign guests.
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and its offshoot al-Murabitoun said they carried out the attack, according to an agency used by jihadists in the region.
An unnamed UN official has said at least 27 people have been killed.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said 12 bodies were found in the basement and 15 bodies were found on the second floor.
It is not clear if this includes two of the attackers who are reported to have died.
Special forces spent several hours chasing the attackers on the upper floors of the hotel. The US said the attack had ended. There is no confirmation from the Malian authorities.
One of the hostages killed was Geoffrey Dieudonne, a member of parliament in Belgium's Wallonia region.
Pictures showed some of the hostages leaving the hotel were wounded; earlier, the interior minister said two soldiers had been injured.
The US-owned hotel is popular with foreign businesses and airline crews.
Eyewitnesses said the gunmen had entered the hotel shooting and shouting "God is great!" in Arabic. It is not clear how many attackers there were - there are reports of up to 13.
The claim by an obscure Saharan jihadist group allied to al-Qaeda that they were behind the attack is a reminder that the country still faces an insurgency.
In 2013 French forces effected a stunningly swift reversal of al-Qaeda's takeover of most of Mali. But Mali is a large, poor country with porous borders and large areas of ungoverned space where jihadist groups have been able to hide and plan attacks.
It has not been helped by the ease with which weapons can come across from Libya, nor by the proximity of a murderous insurgency in Nigeria where Boko Haram reportedly killed more people last year than Islamic State did in Syria and Iraq.
It is clear that Mali will continue to need international military support. But to defeat terrorism in the long term it will also need secure borders, good governance and more economic opportunities for young Malians.

Before special forces stormed the building, a security source told Reuters that some hostages who were able to recite verses of the Koran were being freed.
Mali's presidency has tweeted (in French) thanking the security forces and friendly countries for their support in responding to the attacks.
Off-duty US servicemen helped in the hostage rescue operation. French special forces were dispatched to the scene.
There is as yet no established link with the attacks in Paris one week ago that killed 130 people.
In August, suspected Islamist gunmen killed 13 people, including five UN workers, during a hostage siege at a hotel in the central Malian town of Sevare.
France, the former colonial power in Mali, intervened in the country in January 2013, when al-Qaeda-linked militants threatened to march on Bamako after taking control of the north of the country.
Mali's President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita has cut short a trip to a regional summit in Chad.
His French counterpart Francois Hollande said: "We should yet again stand firm and show our solidarity with a friendly country, Mali."
The UN force in Mali took over responsibility for security in the country from French and African troops in July 2013, after the main towns in the north had been recaptured from the Islamist militants.
Militancy in Mali:
Some three in four patients are not given enough information on coping with long-term effects of the illness, its report with a leading charity suggests.
It calls for care targeting patients' financial, mental and physical needs.
Health minister Anna Soubry urged the NHS in England and local NHS teams to take "urgent action".
The call comes as a national survey of cancer survivors indicated about a quarter of people were feeling isolated after being treated for the illness - according to the DoH.
And almost 30% said they had numerous issues that were not being addressed, including fears about their cancer spreading.
Macmillan Cancer Support, which helped develop proposals for a recovery plan, estimated that about 200,000 people were not getting a package of support following their treatment.
Nor were they being told how to contact someone outside of routine follow-ups if they had any problems.
The group's report calls for a recovery package that would provide a checklist for doctors and nurses to assess what emotional, physical and practical needs a patient might have after their treatment has ended.
This would include referrals to mental health or social services, as well as advice about financial support.
Care plans would also point patients towards physical activity services to help them regain their strength and fitness.
Public health minister Anna Soubry said there were currently about 1.8m people who were being or had been treated for cancer - a figure set to rise to 3.4m by 2030.
"This joint document calls on NHS England and local NHS teams to take urgent action and consider our recommendations when they provide cancer services based on their local community's needs.
"Whether it's specialist help to get back to work, or being recommended to do a physical activity group, local NHS teams need to consider providing a new range of care services for cancer survivors to tackle their needs and improve their quality of life."
Ciaran Devane, chief executive of Macmillan Cancer Support, said that many cancer patients were crying out for this type of personalised support.
"If the NHS does one thing for cancer survivors it should be to commission this recovery package for its local population.
"We also need to keep on top of how cancer patients' quality of life is affected long-term."
Dr Frances Goodhart, a consultant clinical psychologist who works with cancer patients, said people needed to be given a realistic understanding of what recovery would involve, adding: "So often people are sent home with a message of just go home, pick up the pieces, make up for lost time - and actually, as we know, the consequences of cancer treatment are far more complicated."
Macmillan spokeswoman Nicola Cook added that regular contact with doctors was key to improving the system.
"We want GPs to be starting to have a much closer conversation and relationship with the cancer patient so that they're taking that information and they're seeing their GP say every three months - and the GP's asking them how things are.
"How are things at home? How's life at home? How's your marriage? How's your relationship? Are financial worries a concern? How's your mood? And so it's about having that community support in place by the GP and by other services so that people can live their life."
The Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI) had been criticised for not giving any money to Sikh, Hindu, Jewish or Muslim schemes.
Director Helen Boardman admitted it had been hard to attract other faiths.
But she said to succeed it "has to attract all faiths" and non-faith-based groups.
"We have not done that yet," she said. "But I would appeal for people to come forward and talk to me about what we can offer."
Updated figures show £71,000 has been given out by the OFBCI since its launch in January 2014, with about £61,000 going to Christian groups.
Ms Boardman said she had been working with all faiths, but that it had "not been easy" to attract funding applications from non-Christian faith groups.
"It takes times to build up trust," she said.
She said she wanted the OFBCI to act as a "catalyst" for groups "of all faiths and none".
"But we can not just throw money about in a scattergun way," she said.
"We have to target the correct groups to achieve tangible targets."
The OFBCI, the brainchild of police and crime commissioner Adam Simmonds, aims to reduce violent crime, focus on the eradication of drugs and tackle anti-social behaviour.
Emergency services responded to reports of a collision between the pedestrian and a car on Bessborough Road at 10:45 BST on Saturday.
Paramedics from London's Air Ambulance were called in to treat the victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The car stopped at the scene. No arrests made.
Mr Kelly, a convicted armed robber and drug dealer, was shot dead near his home in Dublin in December 2012.
Dublin man Sean Connolly, 35, pleaded guilty to the murder earlier this week.
Two other charges against him of IRA membership and possession of a firearm were not proceeded with.
Mr Kelly's daughter Alison said that the brutal and senseless murder destroyed the family's lives and they still do not know why he was killed.
Police described the killing as a highly-professional murder.
Mr Kelly, 65, left a bookmakers to walk home on 4 December 2012, but his killer met him 70 metres from his front door.
Mr Kelly ran but he was shot four times in the back.
Connolly was arrested a short time later.
Petrol vapours were detected on his shoes from a partially-burned getaway car and firearms residue was found on his person.
Connolly, a Real IRA gunman who was ordered to carry out the murder, has already served terms of four and six years in prison for IRA membership and possession of guns and ammunition.
He admitted that he intended to kill Mr Kelly and was sentenced to life in prison.
Mr Kelly's family left the court in Dublin on Friday saying they were grateful to police for what they described as a "tireless investigation".
Mr Kelly was shot dead three months after the murder of Real IRA leader Alan Ryan, at a time when there were tensions between gangland criminals and dissident republicans.
He was aware his life was in danger and there had been a previous attempt to shoot him two years previously.
Police had consistently warned him of the threats to his life.

Tamsin Greenway and Pamela Cookey, two of the biggest names in English netball, are spearheading two of Britain's three new top-flight clubs.
But, while their job titles are the same, their circumstances, approach and recipes for success are somewhat different.
Greenway left Surrey Storm after coaching them to a second-successive Grand Final triumph and moved to Coventry to join the Wasps family - or brand, depending on which way you look at it - as one of the country's top rugby union clubs decided to expand into netball.
Cookey, the former England captain who played in Greenway's Grand Final-winning Storm side, retired as a player only for her business career to unexpectedly return her to the sport within months as director of netball at Severn Stars - a club formed as a collaboration between the University of Worcester and University of Gloucestershire.
"It's exciting and I do love a challenge," Cookey, 32, told BBC Sport.
"I want to put my mark on something. And this is something new, something I could bring my ideas to."
The task? To help build an elite squad of 12 players, establish three development sides, build community support, a fan base and club identity from scratch in six months.
Sat in her first meeting with Wasps powerbrokers, Greenway admits she completely failed to "play it cool" as figures around the table discussed their plans to throw their Premiership-rugby-sized resources - including an exhibition centre - behind one of the Superleague's new clubs.
"I couldn't contain myself and think I said, 'oh my God, this is my dream job'," said 34-year-old Greenway.
"When I was sat there and they were telling me all these ideas of what they wanted to do, that is what I was thinking - this is what I've worked towards for 10 or 12 years and I can't believe I'm sat here."
Greenway, capped 67 times by England between 2004 and 2015, left Surrey after seven years to join Wasps, who identified her as the cornerstone figure of their audacious expansion project.
"She was one of the most talented players to play for England, but she's also got the business brain and sporting brain to go with it," said Wasps group chief executive David Armstrong.
"The world is her oyster in terms of netball. As the sport grows in popularity and in participation she is bound to be at the forefront of it, so recruiting her as director of netball was probably my best decision of the year.
"As a newcomer into the sport, the most important decision was always going to be the recruitment of director of netball or head coach because that is what was going to bring the idea to life and help recruit players.
"In Tamsin, we have got that."
Likewise, the Stars made sure their first appointment would be one that resonated in the netball world.
Even before seven-time Superleague winner Cookey arrived with her 114 England caps, Severn Stars were already being moulded by a former international playing great and new head coach, Mo'onia Gerrard - a two-time World Cup winner with the Australian Diamonds.
The pair, once fierce rivals on court, are now the closest of colleagues.
"Oh, I had plenty of battles with her on court. She was a pain," said Cookey. "It was weird, the first conversation we had, because it was like we had known each other for years."
The Australian's arrival was a "major coup" for the fledgling franchise, says founding director Anita Navin.
"She was a massive brand straight away that said we mean business," said Navin.
"I'd got an idea early on in terms of what we needed to do to be seen, as I was worried that we would be a new franchise and wouldn't be seen as a critical part of it and we wouldn't recruit players. That became a big issue early on, plenty of sleepless nights about how you build a brand in two weeks.
"You can't recruit players without a coach because they want to know the style of the coach.
"A lot of our athletes in this country have their own preference of style, they don't like the real authoritarian type of coaching, they want to be empowered, have ownership, so I knew the coach was a real critical appointment for us.
"And it couldn't just be someone that has a tiny element of experience at international level, we needed to get someone that had been there and lived it."
When Cookey walked off the Copper Box court after helping Surrey Storm defend their title in May 2016, did she expect to start retirement as a senior lecturer at the University of Gloucester and director of netball at the then, yet-to-be identified new franchise? No.
"It came at the right time," said Cookey, a figure that Navin had long tried to get involved with the game in Gloucestershire.
"I wasn't thinking about any netball jobs at all when I retired. It wasn't on the radar.
"This is a nice opportunity to stay in the sport and I could create something with netball and could develop my career on the other side."
While Severn Stars might lack Wasps' established professional sporting pedigree, they have the pooled resources of two universities.
They will play at the 2,000-seater Worcester Arena, calling on the netball nous of Navin - one of the country's foremost coaching advisors - while utilising communication, marketing, strength and conditioning, performance analysis and sports therapy expertise at the schools.

As an athlete, Cookey was used to being busy as she effectively lived a double life, juggling an international playing career and club ambitions with business management jobs, which at a time also included commutes from Bristol to France.
Unlike Greenway's post at Wasps, Cookey is less focused on what happens on court as she only contributes as a specialist coach, with former Hertfordshire Mavericks head coach Sam Bird coming in as assistant coach.
Cookey's job is one that ranges from ensuring the complex partnership between the two universities works to helping sign players, establishing links with grassroots netball clubs, generating corporate support, working on events and helping to make sure that everything adheres to Superleague regulations.
She has even had an influence on the creation of Twitter accounts and merchandise.
Asked if she could have chosen a tougher job in netball after retiring from the game, she laughed: "Probably not. I tend to do that to myself, I'm never one to do things by half.
"This job brings together my talents. It's the right fit for me. I can still be in netball but not be playing or coaching."
With franchise bids won and bosses in place, both Wasps and Stars mounted bold recruitment drives.
Last season's top scorer Rachel Dunn is among several Surrey players to follow their boss to the Ricoh Arena, while fellow England international Natalie Haythornthwaite moved to Wasps from Manchester and South Africa captain Bongiwe Msomi returns to the English league to reunite with Greenway.
"It was nice to get my dream team and honestly this is the pick of who I wanted," said Greenway.
"I took a lot of stick for bringing so many players in from different clubs, but I've had relationships with these players, we have worked together a long time.
"We brought in big names, we knew we had to get people talking. I think we have become a target, of course we have.
"I had to work hard to convince some of them. There are some unknowns, we've still got George Fisher to make her mark, Fran Williams, Lucy Harris, Lucy Parize - these are important players because this is not about a one hit wonder, it's a building process."
From the sleepless nights thinking about how to approach and convince players to suit up for the Stars, the club has gone from zero to 100 players - across four teams and development squads and training partners - wearing the Severn colours in six months.
Jodie Gibson was the first player to sign and she was one of three England internationals to leave last season's losing finalists Manchester Thunder to join the new franchise.
"We needed quick wins before we could market who we were," said Navin. "We wanted the right people to share the identity, and that is the conversation we had with those three."
From there, the squad was built, taking in emerging England talent and those with Superleague experience, before looking at players in local trials.
"It feels like the jigsaw has come into place," she said.
The 27-year-old Ireland tighthead won the Junior World Championship with New Zealand in 2008 and joined Connacht two years later.
Ah You qualified to play for Ireland in 2013 and made his Irish debut the following year in Argentina.
He said: "I'm really excited about the challenges that lie ahead with Ulster - they are a side with big ambitions."
Ah You progressed through the ranks at Canterbury and was capped at U19 and U20 levels by New Zealand.
"I feel that the environment at Ulster will allow me to reach my potential and help me to realise my ambitions in the game," he added.
"With so many players pushing one another for starting places, it will hopefully spur me on to a new level.
"I feel, at 27, that my best years are ahead of me and I want to push hard for more international recognition too."
Ulster director of rugby Les Kiss believes Ah You will be a valuable addition to the squad.
"We are delighted that Rodney has decided to commit to Ulster as he will add real strength to our front row department," he said.
"As a 27-year-old prop, there is still room for him to develop and as a coaching group we will endeavour to get the very best out of Rodney."
They said the "completely unprovoked" attack happened at Buchanan Street station at about 08:10 on Monday.
A 45-year-old man and another bumped in to each other on the concourse of the station.
His attacker was described as being aged in his mid to late 30s, with a broad chin and unshaven face.
He was wearing a grey fleece jacket and grey trousers.
The victim was treated in hospital for an injury to his eye and later released.
British Transport Police are reviewing CCTV from the station.
The attacker was last seen leaving the station towards Buchanan Galleries.
Insp Lynda Lang said: "This was a completely unprovoked attack on the victim which has left him injured and shaken."
North Yorkshire Police said 600 bottles of wine had been taken from a warehouse in Langbar, near Ilkley, at some point on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
The haul included 300 bottles of expensive French wine, the force said.
A spokesperson added a vehicle would have been required to move the wine, which was on a pallet.
Officers are appealing for anyone with information about the theft, or who is offered wine for sale in suspicious circumstances, to contact them.
The Finn's Law campaign is named after the Hertfordshire police dog who, along with his handler, was stabbed in Stevenage while chasing a suspect.
It wants people who attack police animals to face charges similar to those for attacking a person.
A teenager has been charged with criminal damage over the dog attack.

German shepherd Finn was stabbed in the head and chest and his handler, PC Dave Wardell, received a hand injury in Denton Road after they pursued a suspect at about 01:15 BST.
A 16-year-old boy from Lewisham, south-east London, is accused of the assault of the officer and criminal damage relating to the dog.
The petition, set up by David Burstow on the UK government's petition site, proposes that police animals "be given protection that reflects their status if assaulted in the line of duty".
The campaign's Twitter feed said it had been set up by a private individual - and not serving police officers - to "ensure police animals are recognised for the excellent work they do in upholding the law".
Assistant Chief Constable Dan Vajzovic - from the Joint Protected Services for Beds, Cambs and Herts - said officers had been "overwhelmed" by the support for Finn and his handler.
He said "anything to help promote the safety of members of the police family should be looked at positively" but that decisions on legislative change were a government matter.
"Were there to be a proposal for legislative change I would support legislation that offered an effective mechanism for reducing the likelihood of officers and their police dogs being subject to assault and injury," he said.
The seriously injured dog underwent four hours of emergency surgery and is now recovering at home.
The officer was treated in hospital and discharged. | London has been named the most googled city in the world for its art galleries, performing arts and innovative design.

On Tuesday, the train drivers' union Aslef suspended three days of strikes next week for the talks to take place.
The RMT was due to strike next Monday and has said this will still go ahead.
RMT chief Mick Cash said the union wanted access to the same talks as Aslef. Southern said it was happy to have formal talks with the RMT.
"RMT demands again today that this union be given access to exactly the same talks process in our Southern rail disputes as has been brokered for our sister union by the TUC," Mr Cash said.
"We would remind all parties that not only is RMT a recognised drivers' union on Southern, but that it is also our guards members who have made huge personal sacrifices in the long fight for passenger safety."
He said the notion that a deal could be done that "leaves those Southern guards out in the cold" was ludicrous.
Southern rail strikes: Commuters' tales of 'hell'
How bad have Southern rail services got?
Why is there a Southern rail strike?
A spokesman for Southern said: "The talks that are now taking place under the auspices of the TUC are as a result of a suggestion by Aslef, which we welcomed and accepted in order to find a way to end their drivers' dispute.
"As we have stated, we are happy to have formal talks with the RMT too when they're ready to do so, and lines of communication with them are open."
He said in the meantime, the company asked the RMT to follow Aslef's lead and suspend Monday's action.
Aslef went into talks with Southern on Wednesday at the TUC. The discussions are still in progress.
The RMT, which represents conductors and 12 drivers, has been involved in industrial action since last April.
The union's 12 driver members still plan to take action on 24, 25 and 27 January even though Aslef drivers have suspended their strikes on those days.
Southern issued guidance which said the RMT had 12 driver members out of 1,000 who worked on the network.
The company has said it will be able to run more than 70% of its trains during Monday's RMT strike.

The disparity between forecasts and the eventual Conservative majority has been blamed on "shy Tory" voters or a late swing to David Cameron's party.
But polling expert John Curtice highlighted sampling "deficiencies".
His report said "more time and effort" was needed to find Conservative voters.
Pre-election polls had suggested the result was too close to call, but the Conservatives went on to win an absolute majority, with 331 seats.
Prof Curtice, who wrote the report for research agency NatCen, suggested polling difficulties arose "primarily because [pollsters] interviewed too many Labour supporters and not enough Conservatives".
NatCen interviewed 4,238 people between July and November last year for its British Social Attitudes Survey.
It said it had made "repeated efforts" over the four months to make contact with the people it had selected to interview - and among those it was able to contact most easily, Labour had a six-point lead.
However, among the harder-to-contact group, who took between three and six calls to track down, the Conservatives were 11 points ahead.
"Polls are conducted over just two or three days, which means they are more likely to interview those who are contacted most easily, either over the internet or via their phone," the report said.
The report rejected the "shy Tories" argument, which suggests Conservatives are less willing to declare their voting intentions when asked.
It said even when polling companies returned to respondents and asked how they had voted, they still put Labour and the Tories neck and neck.
But the British Social Attitudes survey put the Conservatives 6.1 points ahead of Labour, close to the actual election margin of 6.6 points.
Polling companies use a complex method to attempt to make their surveys representative, including weighting the responses to match the UK's demographic profile.
The report said its random sampling method was more representative.
Prof Curtice added: "A key lesson of the difficulties faced by the polls in the 2015 general election is that surveys not only need to ask the right questions but also the right people."
An investigation by the British Polling Council into the polling failures ahead of May's general election is due to be published later this month.
But their involvement in efforts in Mocoa, in the country's south-west, has to be approved by the government.
Meanwhile, the search continues for residents who are still missing.
More than 1,000 soldiers and police are involved in the relief works. Most aid is being sent by helicopter as roads are damaged or blocked.
President Juan Manuel Santos declared an emergency to speed up aid operations.
He said a new hospital would be built and that sanitation specialists had been sent to the area, in Putumayo province, to prevent outbreaks of disease.
Water treatment plants would also be set up, he added, as there were reports of people looting stores in search of bottled water.
Mr Santos, who returned to the area on Sunday, also said that a temporary plan to address the lack of electricity should be ready in 10 days.
The offer from the Farc comes as a peace deal in Colombia is implemented.
Thousands of rebels have gathered in so-called "transition zones" in rural areas where they are expected to disarm.
Some 400 rebels live in a camp in nearby La Carmelita, but they would need government authorisation to leave it .
"Speaking with the rebels, they want to go there, to Mocoa, to work and help in the reconstruction," Farc leader Ivan Marquez was quoted by El Colombiano newspaper as saying (in Spanish).
"We are very sad about this tragedy. Our solidarity and condolences go to the people of Mocoa and Putumayo."
The landslide in Mocoa struck in the early hours of Saturday morning, when many people were asleep in bed.
Brazilian football club Chapecoense, which lost 19 players and staff in a plane crash in Colombia in November, sent a message to the people of Mocoa on Twitter saying: "We know how solidarity can give one strength to overcome hard moments. Colombia, our hearts are with you."
They also changed their team's green logo to the colours of the Colombian flag.
Landslides are a common occurrence in Colombia, a country with a mountainous landscape where homes are often built precariously on steep hillsides.
More than 182 towns across the country were under high alert for possible landslides, Colombia's meteorological agency said.
Forecasters have warned of more rain in the coming days.
Guidolin, 60, was taken to hospital hours before Swansea's 2-1 win at Arsenal last Wednesday.
He saw a respiratory specialist after failing to fully respond to treatment.

"Francesco Guidolin has been released from hospital after making a good recovery and will resume duties this week," Swansea City tweeted.
Swansea, who are nine points clear of the Premier League's relegation zone, are away to Bournemouth on Saturday.
On Tuesday night, when Donald Trump delivered his first speech before a joint session of Congress, there was a new tone, in marked contrast to the shrillness of his American carnage inaugural, and even new tailoring, a more sleekly fitted suit.
His Twitter feed, that angry scream of consciousness, had also been unusually quiet.
"THANK YOU!" he wrote in caps on Wednesday morning, after his speech received admiring reviews not just from Republicans but some Democratic pundits as well.
Then on Wednesday night, after a day of unusually flattering coverage, came the triple whammy of stories from the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal: Russia, Russia, Russia.
His Attorney General Jeff Sessions, America's top law enforcement official, was accused of lying to Congress when he denied having any communications with the Russians.
At the precise moment some White House officials hoped to have stabilised the Trump presidency after a wobbly start, the Russian revelations again had a destabilising effect.
Now it has emerged that five Trump advisers, including the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, interacted with the Russian ambassador, Sergei Kislyak.
Tuesday night's speech put the Republican leadership on Capitol Hill more firmly behind Trump. A delighted House Speaker Paul Ryan called it a "home run".
The Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell declared that Trump had become "presidential", especially in that emotional moment when he paid tribute to Carryn Owens, the widow of the Navy SEAL killed in a raid in Yemen.
But in response to the Russian revelations, one senses a certain tension between their partisan and patriotic instincts.
The Republican partisan voice says this is a historic conservative moment.
Rarely is such power wielded.
Indeed, only two of the last five Republican presidents have addressed a joint session of Congress in which the GOP (Grand Old Party) held majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Ronald Reagan never got that privilege. Nor did Richard Nixon.
This, then, is a rare opportunity to do big things, like enact tax reform, and dismantle big things, such as Obamacare.
But the Republican patriotic voice expresses nagging concerns that Russia, America's great post-war adversary, could have subverted US democracy and that requires investigation. The Kremlin's nefarious activities have to be exposed.
This conflict between the partisan and patriotic explains their somewhat half-hearted approach to the investigation.
Four Republican-controlled congressional committees could end up looking into the Kremlin's alleged meddling, but the Republican leadership has dismissed calls from the Democrats to appoint a special prosecutor, an independent counsel over whom they would have little control.
Scandal is the highest form of entertainment that Washington has to offer. Nothing arouses this sleepy city quite like the whiff of political blood. And it is unusual to experience this kind of agitated atmosphere so early in an administration.
Historically speaking, major scandals tend to erupt in the second term of a presidency.
Watergate, which led to Nixon's resignation. Iran-contra, which plagued Ronald Reagan. Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill Clinton's impeachment.
The Russian allegations have not reached that fever pitch. But this is only the second month of Trump presidency, and already he has lost his national security advisor, Michael Flynn, and seen his Attorney General face calls to resign.
This scandal is also following familiar patterns. The drip, drip, drip of damning revelations. The sense that key Trump aides have tried to conceal the extent of their contacts with the Russians, which points to a cover-up.
Michael Flynn misled Vice-President Mike Pence about his contacts with the Russian ambassador, which led to his resignation. Jeff Sessions misled Congress, which led to calls for him to go. Jared Kushner did not volunteer the information that he met the Russian ambassador during the presidential transition. The press revealed it.
It's often the cover-up rather than the alleged crime, misdemeanour or mistake that causes the most political and personal damage.
Donald Trump is clearly irked by the allegation that he won the presidential election with a Russian assist. And so the week ends with a return of his angry Twitter voice.
Posted on his Twitter feed is a picture of the Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer enjoying what looks like coffee and a donut with the Russian president Vladimir Putin, along with a call for an immediate investigation.
From the reset to Russia in 140 characters.
The 22-year-old won eight international caps last year, seven as a replacement, in a breakthrough season.

Hidalgo-Clyne, a prolific goal-kicker who started as a fly-half, is a product of Edinburgh's academy and the Scotland youth squads.
He made his professional debut in 2013 and his Scotland bow in last year's Six Nations opener against France in Paris, going on to be part of the World Cup squad last autumn.
"I am delighted that Sam will continue his progress with us," said Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons.
"He is an exceptionally talented young player who has a great future in the game. I enjoy working with him and am pleased that I can continue to do so."
Hidalgo-Clyne is expected to be included in Vern Cotter's Scotland squad - set to be announced next week - for the Six Nations starting on 6 February.
Maurice McCloughan and Killian Doherty died following the crash on the main road between Omagh and Ballygawley.
The crash happened near a meat factory on the A5 just after 08:00 GMT on Saturday.
Mr McCloughan's family said he was their "golden boy" and "never without an infectious smile".
They also said that Mr Doherty was "another fantastic young man that didn't deserve to go so soon and leave behind another shattered family".
"We have laughed together, cried together, danced together and now, without our centrepiece, our baby, we have to mourn together," said the family's statement.
"Maurice was the life and soul of every party and loved a good jump about the dance floor.
"He was always up for a laugh, had terrible taste in music, was never without that infectious smile and never had any problem 'pulling the chicks'.
"Although our lives are falling apart, we have become aware of how many lives have been touched by Maurice and just how many people this will affect.
"We as a family will get through this together and we open up our hearts to all of those who were friends, teammates and classmates.
"It gives us some comfort that Maurice has Killian up there with him."
Father Kevin Mullan said it was impossible not to like Mr Doherty.
"It's heart-breaking and as you can see from the lads at the laying of the flowers, the pain is tearing them apart," he said.
"They're big men and men don't do that kind of thing, but they do.
"He was just such a loveable little man and we saw him growing up, had him in school, saw him going to school, and work, and you couldn't not like Killian."
Ryan McCallion senior manager of Drumquin GAA club said: "The whole team is devastated, the club is devastated and the whole town is devastated.
"Killian was a big part of Drumquin not only as a footballer but as a person. He was well liked, a vital part, a vital cog in Drumquin."
Sinn Féin councillor Glenn Campbell said there had been a "great outpouring of grief" from young people and the GAA community in the area.
"Both young men were prominent members of their respective GAA clubs and I know the clubs will be a great source of support to their family and friends in the time ahead," said Mr Campbell.
Gareth Currie, 39, from Ballieston, died at Buchanan House, in Port Dundas Road, at 12:20 on Wednesday.
A 34-year-old man is also being treated for a head injury at Glasgow Royal Infirmary after the incident. He was said to be in a stable condition.
Police and the Health and Safety Executive have launched a joint investigation into the incident.
The building, which houses offices for Network Rail and Transport Scotland, was undergoing refurbishment work at the time of the accident.
It is thought that Mr Currie was thrown from a platform after the arm of the crane collapsed.
Mr Currie was employed by One Stop Safety Systems Ltd.
The directors of the firm said in a statement: "Our sympathies are extended to the family of our employee, Gary Currie, who was killed in the industrial accident on Wednesday afternoon.
"Our sympathies are also extended to the injured crane operator from Craig Services and Access Limited. Our thoughts are with him, his family and work colleagues, and we hope he makes a full recovery from his injuries.
"Everyone involved with our company has been greatly affected and saddened by the tragic events of yesterday afternoon. The directors of the company will do everything in our power to make sure both families are given every possible assistance and support in the days ahead."
The directors added: "In addition to carrying out our own internal investigation, One Stop Safety Systems will co-operate with the owners of the crane and the Health and Safety Executive in their investigations.
"We aim to provide the safest possible working environment for our workers and everyone connected with the company."
Inspector Jim Cole said he had been confronted by people wounded and in a "state of panic" in Borough Market.
Khuram Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba killed eight people on 3 June, running over pedestrians on the bridge and stabbing people nearby.
Insp Cole said the memories would "stick with me for a long time".
Dozens of people were also injured in the attack, which began shortly before 22:00 BST.
Police have revealed that the attackers had tried to hire a 7.5 tonne lorry to carry out their assault, which included mowing down pedestrians.
But the three men failed to provide payment details and the vehicle was not picked up, prompting them to use a smaller van from a DIY store instead.
Insp Cole, a 41-year-old father of three, described the scene at Peckham police station as the alarm was raised as "like something out of a movie with police officers running everywhere".
He had been due to finish his shift, but instead found himself racing with others to Borough Market.
Once there they were confronted by armed police and wounded people on the pavement, including a man who had been stabbed in the stomach.
The unarmed officer helped get people into a pub cellar to hide as shots rang out in the market.
Insp Cole said: "We had the situation of people coming running out of the market, they were in a state of panic - lots of screaming.
"So I literally just grabbed hold of as many as we could and directed them into the basement of the bar.
"I felt that was as reasonably safe a place as we had at the moment, rather than roaming the streets."
After getting the news that the attackers had been shot, Insp Cole went to tell those sheltering in the pub.
"I spoke with the 200 frightened people in the basement and told them that there were armed officers outside, we were safe and we would evacuate them as soon as we could.
"I got a big round of applause. That was a really nice, unexpected moment. It was a nice touch."
Insp Cole said he could hear his colleagues over the radio "in quite a state of distress" as they desperately called for ambulances.
He added: "I've dealt with a lot of death and I've been to some pretty horrific scenes in my career, but nothing has ever been on that scale.
"It was the most challenging, most intense situation I've dealt with. It's going to stick with me for a long time."
The business editor of the Sunday Express, who was stabbed during the attack, has written about his ordeal for his newspaper, whilst recovering in hospital.
Geoff Ho was stabbed in the neck while trying to protect his friend and other members of the public from the three armed men at the Black & Blue restaurant in Southwark.
He described how the attackers broke through the locked door of the restaurant, yelling at people to lie down on the ground.
"I knew that if anyone did that, they'd be dead," wrote Mr Ho. "I had to delay them, stall them any way I could.
"With my hands up, trying to look non-threatening, I stared back at them and said one word - No."
He was then struck in the throat. With the help of his friend, he managed to create makeshift bandages to stem the bleeding.
Mr Ho heard the attackers shot by police and said it felt like "running through a war zone" as he went to get help from the emergency services.
"Me and my friends wouldn't be alive without the brave men and women of the Metropolitan Police, London Ambulance Service, the British Transport Police, who dived in with no thought for their own safety," he wrote.
"Those guys are the real heroes."
Art, literature, poetry, music - surely a mere computer without world experience, moods, memories and downright human fallibility cannot create these.
Meet Aaron, a computer program that has been painting since the 1970s - big dramatic, colourful pieces that would not look out of place in a gallery.
The "paintings" Aaron does are realised mainly via a computer program and created on a screen although, when his work began being exhibited, a painting machine was constructed to support the program with real brushes and paint.
Aaron does not work alone of course. His painting companion is Harold Cohen, who has "spent half my life trying to get a computer program to do what only rather talented human beings can do".
A painter himself, he became interested in programming in the late 1960s at the same time as he was pondering his own art and asking whether it was possible to devise a set of rules and then "almost without thinking" make the painting by following the rules.
The programming behind Aaron - written in LISP, which was invented by one of the founding fathers of artificial intelligence, John McCarthy, back in the 1960s - attempts to do just that.
Some of Aaron's knowledge is about the position of body parts and how they fit together, while some of the other rules are decided by the machine.
It actually "knows" very little about the world - it recognises the shape of people, potted plants, trees and simple objects such as boxes and tables. Instead of teaching it ever more things, Mr Cohen has concentrated on making it "draw better".
And it has been a great pupil.
"The machine had become a world-class colourist - it was much more adventurous in terms of colour than I was," he told the BBC.
For many years the two worked side by side, but gradually Mr Cohen began having doubts about the partnership.
First, he decided to abandon the painting machine that was hooked up to Aaron.
It had been, he told the BBC, too cumbersome and had led too many commentators to regard the project as a robot rather than clever programming, which had irked him.
But he was also having bigger doubts - Aaron was both becoming too independent and also revealing some serious limitations.
"I dreamed up a very simple algorithm and it obviously embodied a great deal of knowledge, but when I looked at the output I didn't remember doing it because I hadn't done it," he told the BBC.
"It no longer needed me. I never intended to leave everything to the program, but it gradually came to me that it could do without me.
"It had become autonomous enough to disturb the guy who wrote the program."
What had originally been conceived as a team project was becoming something else entirely.
"Works of art are like children - they go out into the world but you always have a connection to them and I'd lost that connection. I felt out in the cold," he told the BBC.
At the same time though it was clear that Aaron, while excelling at colouring, was never going to be truly creative.
"It was not that autonomous, and the very little dose of autonomy that Aaron had only related to colour," Mr Cohen said.
It led him to question whether a creative AI was ever possible.
"I don't deny the possibility that, at some point in the future, a machine can make something approaching art - but it is going to be a lot more complex than teaching a car to drive around a city without a driver, and it isn't going to happen next Wednesday or even in what is left of this century," he told the BBC.
The partnership with Aaron is still "alive and well", but it has changed.
Now, Aaron concentrates on the drawing, while Mr Cohen does the painting. And these days, he does it digitally, using a giant touchscreen rather than real paint - perhaps in a nod to the machine he created.
All of the greatest painters work by viewing the world around them and combining what they see with other cultural references and their own unique style.
Computers may seem to be at a huge disadvantage because they cannot take a stroll in the woods, watch the Sun set or view the cityscape at dusk, but actually computers are learning to see the world.
Artificial brains - known as neural networks - combined with huge datasets of information are offering computers new vision and could also be inspiring them to find their own style.
In Google's AI labs, they are busy building such networks in order to offer new services, better search and to label images on the web more efficiently.
But an interesting side-experiment undertaken by a couple of its engineers this summer saw them attempt to "see" inside the computer brain to work out how it was learning about images.
In doing so, the engineers discovered that such networks could actually create their own painting, based just on random-noise pictures, similar to the white noise on old TV sets.
The results were surprising - nightmarish, hallucinatory visions. Some compared them to the art a human might create when they had taken mind-altering drugs such as LSD, others to the work of tortured genius Vincent van Gogh.
The reason the computers created art that hints at madness or hallucinations could be because Google has mimicked the human visual brain, thinks Ben Harvey, a researcher in the department of psychology at the University of Coimbra in Portugal.
"The class of hallucinogens that contains magic mushrooms, LSD, mescaline and DMT alters perception," he writes in an article for web magazine The Psych Report.
"They impose patterns from things we have seen before on to our visual input, making us see faces in the clouds or intricate Oriental rug patterns on fields of grass."
Schizophrenia, which some believe Van Gogh had, works in a similar way.
"This may help us understand why some of Google's output reminds us of the distortions of reality seen in Van Gogh's brushwork," he adds.
For Google, the experiment offered a tantalising glimpse into an artificial brain - but was it also the first evidence of machine creativity?
Sort of, thinks Prof Mark Riedl, from the Georgia Institute of Technology, in the US.
In attempting to decipher the white noise, what Google's network was really doing was "trying to make a picture that it is more comfortable with", he told the BBC.
"So it is doing something creative, but it lacks direction and doesn't know that it is creating."
Creativity has long been regarded as an essential part of intelligence, and for some it is time that it was applied to evaluate machine learning.
Late last year, Prof Riedl proposed a new type of test to see whether artificial intelligence was on a par with that of humans.
Rather than require a machine to have a human-like conversation, as proposed by the Turing Test, his LoveLace 2.0 test would ask a machine to create a convincing poem, story or painting.
"There is no theoretical reason why computers can't do creative tasks, but there is as yet no general model of creativity to test it," he said.
And he is not talking about the genius of Picasso, Mozart or Shakespeare - he is more interested in the general run-of-the-mill creativity that all humans have.
"We can doodle, tell stories, put together a poem. Can we also build systems that we can ask to paint us a picture?" he asks.
One of the biggest problems with such a goal is lack of data.
"The real world is the greatest dataset. Humans live in a rich, complicated world, and we come across lots of things. We see trees, landscapes, we talk, we communicate, we make jokes, but a computer doesn't know anything until we give it data."
And even machines that have been given the back catalogue of dead composers or thousands of pictures of famous paintings tend to have a narrow vision of their own creations.
"Human creators are capable of changing goals or values during the creative experience - they see the opportunity to do something differently but computers tend to be rather single-minded," he said.
Ultimately if you want a computer to be really creative, it will need a physical form, he thinks.
"If you did have embodiment, computers could start experiencing the world as we do, although it may experience the world differently and therefore will create differently."
Dominic Raab, who backs EU exit, will say EU nationals whose activities are of concern but about whom there is no clear intelligence have a "free pass" into the UK due to free movement rules.
Debate on security within the EU has intensified since the Brussels attacks.
Pro-EU campaigners say the UK will lose access to key information by leaving.
Is the UK safer in or out of the EU?
Prime Minister David Cameron has insisted co-operation among 28 states makes the UK safer while former security service officials have expressed contrasting views about the importance of EU membership with regard to intelligence sharing arrangements with the US and other allies.
Mr Raab's intervention, in a speech in London, marks a continued focus by Leave campaigners on the issue of security and what they argue are the risks of EU membership
On Tuesday, those calling for an Out vote in the 23 June referendum released a list of 50 foreign criminals they say have been allowed into the UK because of freedom of movement rules giving EU nationals visa-free entry.
Mr Raab, who is a junior minister at the Ministry of Justice, will argue that the sheer number of people who can legally come to the UK from the EU make it "exponentially harder" for those presenting a "credible and current danger" to be monitored and stopped.
Although the UK is not a member of the Schengen borderless travel zone and carries out passport checks, Mr Raab will say the current system reduces the capacity for effective surveillance and leaves the UK effectively "importing risk".
"We cannot refuse entry to EU citizens producing an EU passport, even though we have no control over the checks made by the country of issue, which we can charitably say are of mixed reliability," he will say.
"Crucially, for UK intelligence agencies, we cannot bar individuals on whom we have sketchy intelligence but reason to believe may be linked to terrorist related or other serious criminal activity. Or who may have done something which gives rise to questions, such as visiting Syria, without a clear or credible reason.
"In most countries outside the EU, you can bet that individuals flagged in this way would not waltz through passport control without these doubts or question marks being answered or assuaged...
"EU rules set the bar for taking meaningful action impossibly high, which means we effectively have to give a free pass into Britain to those coming from the EU."
UKIP leader Nigel Farage caused controversy in the immediate aftermath of the Brussels attacks by claiming the city had become the "jihadi capital of Europe" and EU border rules led to "the free movement of terrorists, of criminal gangs and of Kalashnikovs".
Mr Raab will stop short of saying this, arguing it is "too early" to tell to what extent Schengen rules helped those behind the attacks, but he will insist "regaining control over our borders would be a valuable defensive tool in protecting Britain from future terrorist attacks".
Britain Stronger in Europe, the cross-party group campaigning to stay in the EU, said six former home secretaries backed continued EU membership as did the "weight of opinion in the UK and within the international intelligence community".
"Using the European Arrest Warrant, we can deport suspected criminals who do get in, and bring those who would do us harm back to the country to face justice," said its director Will Straw.
"And by sharing intelligence and pooling resources with our nearest neighbours we can take the fight to terrorists, stopping them before they even reach our shores."
Meanwhile Mr Cameron, who will return to the EU campaign trail next week after the Easter recess, has been warned that he will only win the referendum by putting forward a "positive and inclusive" vision of the benefits of the EU membership.
A group of peers has said the PM must focus on articulating the shared values that different European countries have in common.
The House of Lords EU committee said relying on "narrow national economic self-interest, alongside fear of the alternatives" would not be enough to ensure an In vote in three months time.
"It needs to try and capture the spirit we saw in Wembley last year when England football fans sang the Marseillaise after the attacks in Paris," said Lord Boswell, the former Tory MP who chairs the committee.

World number two McIlroy missed out by two shots after carding a three-over-par 73 to finish 10 over.
Donald, still chasing his first victory in a major, carded 72 to finish 11 over at the testing Olympic Club.
McIlroy and Donald struggled from the outset in San Francisco and carded 77 and 79 respectively in round one.
McIlroy won by eight shots and broke a host of scoring records when he finished on 16 under at a rain-softened Congressional 12 months ago but the 23-year-old was unable to cope with the firmer, faster conditions of Olympic's Lake Course.
It wasn't to be and I'm trying to learn from it and come back stronger next time
The Northern Irishman, who played alongside Donald and world number three Lee Westwood in the more difficult afternoon conditions on Thursday, leaked five more bogeys and made two birdies early on Friday.
McIlroy, who was world number one for a spell earlier this year, missed three consecutive cuts recently before going close in his last PGA Tour event before the US Open.
"It's just such a demanding golf course and punishes the slightest shot that's off-line or that's maybe not the right distance," said McIlroy.
"You really have to be so precise out there and if you're not, you're going to get punished. We're just not used to playing this sort of golf course week-in, week-out.
"We're not used to having to land balls before the edge of the greens to let them run on. It's just something that you have to adjust to in this tournament. I wasn't able to do that very well this week.
"It hasn't been the greatest run over the last six weeks, or whatever it is, but I still see enough good stuff in the rounds that gives me hope that it's not very far away."
Englishman Donald, 34, has won six times in 15 months and was expected to be better suited to the patience and control required at a typically tough US Open set up.
But his quest for a first major title continues after mixing five bogeys with three birdies.
"It was a little better today, but little consolation obviously," he said.
"I think I missed nine putts inside 10 feet yesterday and just couldn't get the feel for the greens, the reads, the speed.
"And if I had putted a little bit better yesterday I could have ground out a score today and maybe been somewhere decently placed for the weekend.
"But it wasn't to be and I'm trying to learn from it and come back stronger next time."
Donald's next chance to break his major duck comes at the Open at Royal Lytham and St Annes next month, but he has just the one top 10 finish in 11 previous attempts in Britain.
Westwood shot 72 to be five over, the same as Ian Poulter (75), while another Englishman, Justin Rose, was one better after also carding 75.
Simon Dyson (74) and qualifier Matthew Baldwin (74) just sneaked in on eight over, but Lee Slattery (70) ended nine over and Robert Rock (78) missed out by five shots.
Scotland's Martin Laird ended nine over after a 72 and Ireland's Peter Lawrie finished 11 over after a 77.
Leeds, who are now without a win in four games, took a deserved lead with 20 minutes left as Chris Wood netted his first goal since 29 December.
However, Giuseppe Bellusci failed to catch Sebastian Polter as he burst into the box and bundled over the German.
Chery, who has scored six goals in his last nine outings, made no mistake from the spot.
The hosts did much of the early running and the recalled Stuart Dallas, Wood and Mustapha Carayol all missed half chances.
But the first half offered few clear-cut opportunities and Junior Hoilett was forced to wait until just before the break to register QPR's first effort, as his curling strike went over the bar.
Steve Evans' side made a marked improvement after the break and when Luke Murphy floated the ball into the box, the visitors' keeper Alex Smithies' hesitation proved costly as Wood nipped in.
After a calamitous ending to the weekend's match against Rotherham, Leeds looked to be heading for three points but Bellusci was once again at the centre of poor decision making that allowed QPR to level with three minutes to play.
Both sides remain mid-table with the threat of relegation and hope of promotion having disappeared with six games remaining.
Leeds boss Steve Evans: "Giuseppe Bellusci is a very good player and has had a couple of games where he's done things you would expect better of him.
"I tell you what he is, he's a man. He walked into the dressing room and was very humble to everyone. He did the same at Rotherham. He's an honest man who doesn't take things lightly.
"We have a tight-knit dressing room where we support all our players.
"I would (pick him with confidence) on Saturday. There are other good centre-halves who have cost me more."

QPR boss Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink: "The game was not how I expected it to be. We had two strikers on the pitch, they changed their side.
"We thought they would play with two strikers but they made it difficult for us to be fluent and have passes and be dominant. Fair play to them.
"Nobody had any chances in the first half, nobody dominated the play, my goalkeeper and their goalkeeper did not have much to do. I always felt we were going to finish stronger than them in the last 15 minutes."
The men were among the 35-strong crew of a US-owned anti-piracy support vessel detained in the Indian port of Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, on 12 October.
A judge has now granted conditional bail to 33 of the men, including Billy Irving, 33, from Connel in Argyll.
One of the British men and the vessel's Ukrainian captain remain in jail.
Mr Irving was arrested on 12 October along with Nick Dunn, from Ashington, Northumberland; Ray Tindall from Chester; Paul Towers from Pocklington, Yorkshire; John Armstrong from Wigton, Cumbria, and Nicholas Simpson, from Catterick, North Yorkshire.
All six men worked as anti-piracy guards for the US-based maritime security company AdvanFort.
According to the firm, and a report on the Times of India website, Mr Towers is the British man who has not been granted bail, alongside the ship's captain Dudinik Valentyn.
The crew have been in prison in India since 24 October.
They were on board the MV Seaman Guard Ohio when the ship was detained in the port of Tuticorin for allegedly illegally straying into Indian water.
All 35 crew and security guards were arrested - the guards on suspicion of unauthorised possession of 31 assault rifles and 5,000 rounds of ammunition.
The Indian authorities said they had intercepted the ship and found weapons and ammunition on board which had not been properly declared.
AdvanFort said India's coastguard and police had allowed the ship into the port to refuel and shelter from a storm. It said all weapons had been properly registered.
Earlier this month, relatives of the six British guards delivered a petition to Downing Street, with more than 136,000 signatures calling for their release.
It also called on the government to act as a guarantor for the men if they were bailed.
The men, and dozens of others on board the vessel, have now been granted conditional bail.
Mr Irving's partner, Yvonne, said she was still waiting to hear the details, but it was understood the men would be freed on Friday - after which they would have to remain in India.
A spokesman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: "This is a difficult and important case, which the Prime Minister has raised with Indian Ministers, as has the Foreign Secretary, and Minister Swire.
"The High Commissioner has also raised it with the Indian authorities in India. We will continue to do all that we can.
He added: "While we are unable to demand the release of British nationals, or interfere in another country's legal processes, we continue to make very clear our interest in this case, and the importance of ensuring that it is resolved as quickly as possible."
Bright spots within a 90km-wide crater have baffled scientists since the probe spied them on its approach.
Now in orbit around Ceres, Dawn is gathering detailed data about the world's geology and its composition.
Mission researchers described the latest images at the European Planetary Science Congress in Nantes, France.
Currently, their best guess to account for the spots is an expanse of some type of salt - but this is speculation.
"We haven't solved the source of the white material," said the mission's principal investigator Chris Russell from the University of California Los Angeles.
"We think that it's salt that has somehow made its way to the surface. We're measuring the contours, trying to understand what the surface variations in that crater are telling us."
Ceres is a 950km-wide dwarf planet sitting in the Solar System's asteroid belt. Dawn is currently orbiting it at a distance of 1,470km and imaging the entire surface every 11 days.
It was eight years ago this week that Dawn blasted off on its mission from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Before arriving at Ceres six months ago, the spacecraft dropped in on the asteroid Vesta for just over a year in 2011 and 2012.
The latest release of data includes a new topographic map, showing the shape of Ceres' entire surface in the most detail yet.
"The irregular shapes of craters on Ceres are especially interesting, resembling craters we see on Saturn's icy moon Rhea," said deputy mission chief Carol Raymond from Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. "They are very different from the bowl-shaped craters on Vesta."
There is also a colour-enhanced mosaic image that offers clues about what the dwarf planet is made of - arguably asking more questions than it answers.
"There's an interesting blue ring here," Prof Russell told a media briefing at the conference. "We have absolutely no idea what that blue ring is due to.
"And there are streaks across the surface that point back to the Occator Crater with its bright spots. We are poking at this, and we're looking for ideas, but we haven't solved the problem yet."
An oddly shaped mountain that towers 6km above relatively flat surrounding terrain is also puzzling the team, Prof Russell added, because it does not look like the result of known geological processes.
"We're having difficulty understanding what made that mountain," he told reporters.
In October, Dawn will start dropping to its final target altitude of 375km for an even closer look at Ceres. This will be its final home. Even after it ceases operations in mid-to-late 2016, the probe is expected to stay in this stable orbit and become a permanent fixture in the dwarf world's sky.
"We're not going to leave Ceres. We're going to stay in Ceres orbit forever," Prof Russell said.

A third of this age group had never put money in a bank account and two-thirds could not read a payslip, research for the Money Advice Service suggested.
Concerns have been raised as these youngsters are just months away from having access to credit.
Financial education is part of the curriculum in schools across the UK.
The Money Advice Service commissioned a survey of nearly 5,000 youngsters aged four to 17, with further questions directed to their parents.
It found that nearly a third of 16 and 17 year-olds were unaware what would happen if council tax was unpaid, while only 7% of seven to 17-year-olds had spoken to their teachers about money.
Three in five parents felt confident talking about money to their children, but their money management "may not set the best example", according to the Money Advice Service which is running a Financial Capability Week. Half of parents asked did not save regularly and 44% said they did not feel confident managing their money.
"In order to find a lasting solution to the problem of the UK's stubbornly low levels of financial capability, we need to help parents be better role models, build their confidence in speaking to their children about these matters and support schools to deliver effective financial education," said David Haigh, director of financial capability at the service.
The service is calling for "just-in-time" financial education, before youngsters become financially independent, alongside more consistent financial education from primary school age, and greater support for parents to talk to their children about money.

He made the comment during a discussion with Victoria Derbyshire about why productivity levels in the UK are so low.
He argued that part of the problem is that the British economy is dominated by the service sector, where productivity cannot be measured.
He said he regularly meets business owners who have no idea how to measure their output - and very few who link remuneration and productivity.

The 36-year-old Lazio striker put his country 2-0 ahead as they opened up a 5-0 half-time lead in Belo Horizonte.
Klose moved level with former Brazil striker Ronaldo by scoring against Ghana earlier in the competition.
Germany's leading goalscorer with 71 goals in 136 games, he is the third player to net at four World Cups.
Brazil legend Pele and West Germany's Uwe Seeler both scored at the 1958, 1962, 1966 and 1970 finals.
Klose's goal against Brazil came in his 23rd World Cup appearance, a tally only compatriot Lothar Matthaus has bettered.
Germany have never lost a game in which he has scored.
"Klose is not a Ronaldo, or a Pele or that kind of footballer," said Match of the Day presenter and former England striker Gary Lineker. "He is a poacher but to break that record is a phenomenal achievement."
Former England and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, working as a pundit in Brazil, added: "He does not excite you outside the box but he is a pure goalscorer.
"When the ball comes into the box, he comes alive."

It is not the only bank to be dangling a financial carrot in front of potential customers. First Direct recently raised its cash offer. A handful of banks at the top of the satisfaction league tables do something similar.
Incentives are nothing new in banking. Before the financial crisis, one lender was even giving a car free with a mortgage.
Cash - even a three-figure sum - feels positively penny-pinching in comparison to a new Rover, but it seems to be working.
"Rewarding switchers seems to be the biggest trend in the market right now," says Rachel Springall, of financial information service Moneyfacts.
Perks are being offered because banks are desperate for data. A current account reveals so much about a consumer's financial life that it allows banks to pinpoint the other products it can sell to that customer, and when.
Many children of the 80s will fondly recall their first experience of bank incentives.
By sticking just £10 into a new account with Midland Bank, youngsters were given a pack of goodies including a sports bag, a dictionary and and maths set. It might not have been too cool at school, but it was a bunch of free stuff.
Others may have chosen the ceramic piggy banks from NatWest. Woody, Sir Nathaniel and the others are now collectors' items.
Nowadays, the student market is the hotbed for banking incentives.
Travelcards, Amazon vouchers and pizza discounts are being used as bait for teenagers opening an account before they head to university or college.
Clearly, banks love to attract students. Individuals are still incredibly loyal to their bank, so signing up somebody as they take on their first major financial responsibilities could mean many years of custom.
Student days are often dominated by debt. So, for the students themselves, an account with as big an interest-free overdraft as possible will often prove more valuable than an annual railcard, according to Andrew Hagger, of Moneycomms.
You can read more about student accounts and their added extras here.
In addition to rising one-off cash payments, regular non-student bank customers have been offered a host of free incentives in the last couple of years.
Savers have been attracted with the offer of an iPad. Credit card customers have been promised free wine. Some homeowners taking out a mortgage have had a year of council tax paid for them.
"Over the years the banks have tried a variety of ways to differentiate themselves," says Kevin Mountford, of price comparison website Moneysupermarket.
"Sometimes the inclusion of certain perks has come at a price; packaged current accounts with varying benefits such as travel insurance or free overseas withdrawals, as an example, tend to come with an annual or monthly fee.
"Banks are trying to appeal to what people might want, but customers should look beyond any gimmicks or short-term incentives to make sure that the product is right for them and offers good value long term."
That is a view shared by Mr Hagger, of Moneycomms, despite the rising amounts of cash being offered.
"The danger is being blinded by three figures," he says.
He says those going overdrawn may find these accounts are expensive when it comes to the borrowing fees incurred. Frequent travellers may discover that the cash lump sum fails to compensate for the cost of using a card while overseas.
So many perks are being offered by banks in recent times owing, in part, to a new current account switching service.
The service has made it quicker and easier to go to a new bank, with a guarantee that the move is completed within seven working days and that all regular payments, such as direct debits, continue under the new account automatically.
Still, only 6% of consumers have switched current accounts in the last year, and 9% in the last one to three years, according to market researchers TNS.
That was a much smaller proportion than the 29% of car insurance customers switching providers in the last year, and 31% doing so in the last one to three years.
That is the subject of a review by the competition authorities into retail banking, given that there are 65 million active personal current accounts in the UK. The provisional findings are expected to be published in October.
TNS research does show that incentives are at the forefront of bank customers' minds when they do switch, however infrequently.
One in four leave a bank because, they say, the customer service has been rubbish.
The most popular reasons for deciding on which bank to move to are rewards and the convenience of branches, according to the research.
So, the one-off cash may well be the reason for Halifax, and perhaps online bank First Direct, gaining customers.
Santander, the biggest gainer in 2014, appears to have won from its consistent 3% interest offer.
Many savings accounts have been unable to keep up with the interest being offered on current accounts, or the perks on offer.
Anna Bowes, of Savings Champion, says the current account market is more lucrative for banks.
Details of current account transactions alert banks to major life events and allow them to try to sell other products, such as insurance.
Current account holders still visit branches more regularly than those with savings accounts, she argues, offering another chance for banks to promote other, profitable, products while customers are inside.
Even so, she says there can still be a place for gimmicks.
If a free cuddly toy offered with a children's account means a youngster takes an interest in saving and money management, then that can only be a good thing for the future.
Wildlife monitoring network Traffic found hundreds of protected animals for sale on Facebook groups in Malaysia, including sun bears, gibbons, and binturongs, also known as bearcats.
It says this type of illegal trading is a growing threat around the world.
Facebook said it "will not hesitate" to remove content promoting such trade.
The researchers monitored 14 Facebook groups for 30 minutes daily over a period of five months. They found more than 300 wild, live animals for sale as pets.
"You often find that in trading there's a small percentage of people involved in illegal activity," said Sarah Stoner from Traffic, one of the report's authors.
"But we identified 236 posts where there was perceived illegal activity, there were 106 different sellers, that's quite a lot of different people and it shows how prevalent it is."
The researchers say the development of an online trade is surprising in Malaysia because open wildlife markets are not found in the country, unlike in other parts of Asia.
"The demand for these animals has always existed in Malaysia but it's never really had an outlet to flourish whereas the internet and Facebook seems to be providing that platform to enable the trade to happen in this manner," said Sarah Stoner.
Almost half of the species recorded were protected and illegal to sell under Malaysian law. Some 25 of the 69 non-native animals protected under the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (Cites).
Traffic say they have shared the details of their investigation with Facebook who are looking to develop practical solutions to combat the trade.
"We are committed to working with Traffic to help tackle the illegal online trade of wildlife in Malaysia," Facebook said in a statement.
"Facebook does not allow the sale and trade of endangered animals and we will not hesitate to remove any content that violates our terms of service."
The investigators also passed on their information to the Malaysian authorities.
"We have carried out 43 successful seizures, arrested at least 54 illegal traders and saved over 67 wildlife species from being traded illegally on Facebook,'' said Hasnan Yusop, from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks, who pointed out that his colleagues have been monitoring Facebook groups selling wildlife since 2013.
''More importantly, we also want to send out a stern warning - if anyone is caught violating our law, they will face harsh penalties," he added.
Investigators are concerned that the use of social media and smartphones means that anyone interested in selling wildlife can rapidly access huge numbers of potential buyers.
They are worried that technology is opening lucrative new markets, all over the world.
"Although the findings are about illegal wildlife trade in Malaysia, we believe it reflects a worldwide problem," said Traffic's Sarah Stoner.
"Social media's ability to put traffickers in touch with many potential buyers quickly, cheaply and anonymously is of concern for threatened wildlife and enforcement agencies which demands nothing short of a concerted global response.''

The government wants the UK to become a world leader in driverless technology.
It will publish a code of practice in the spring which will allow the testing of autonomous cars to go ahead.
Self-drive pods that will be tested in Milton Keynes and Coventry have been unveiled for the first time.
The government promised a full review of current legislation by the summer of 2017.
That review will involve a rewrite of the Highway Code and adjustments to MOT test guidelines, potentially taking into account whether a higher standard of driving should be demanded of automated vehicles.
It will also look at who would be responsible in the event of a collision and how to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians.
The Department of Transport report acknowledged that true driverless cars may be some way off and that current tests of the technology will need to include a qualified test driver to supervise the vehicle.
"Driverless vehicle technology has the potential to be a real game-change on the UK's roads, altering the face of motoring in the most fundamental of ways and delivering major benefits for road safety, social inclusion, emissions and congestion," said transport minister Claire Perry.
The government is providing £19m to launch four driverless car schemes in four UK locations.
To mark the launch of the review, Ms Perry and Business Secretary Vince Cable highlighted some of the trials that they are funding, including a fully autonomous shuttle in Greenwich and a BAE System-developed Wildcat vehicle, which will be tested in Bristol.
Self-drive pods that will be tested in Milton Keynes and Coventry were also unveiled for the first time.
Prof Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC Foundation, said: "These trials are not just about harnessing technology to make our travelling lives easier and safer, they also involve getting the regulation right.
"Alongside the hi-tech innovation you need policy decisions on long-term, low-tech matters such as who takes responsibility if things go wrong. As and when these vehicles become commonplace, there is likely to be a shift from personal to product liability and that is a whole new ball game for insurers and manufacturers."
But the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) said that it was concerned that, while the government is pushing ahead with making driverless cars a reality, the service and repair sector did not yet have the skills and infrastructure in place to deal with the new technology.
IMI chief executive Steve Nash is calling on businesses to take steps to address this sooner rather than later.
"We believe the government is yet to fully [realise] the pressures we are under," he said.
The Lutz Pathfinder pod, which is being led by the UK's Future Transport Systems innovation centre, will be tested on the pavements of Milton Keynes later this year.
It is a two-seater, electric-powered vehicle that is packed with 19 sensors, cameras, radar and Lidar - a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analysing the reflected light.
In a panel behind the seat is the computing power equivalent to two high-end gaming computers.
Three pods will drive themselves on the pavements and pedestrianised areas of the city initially and, if successful, a fleet of 40 vehicles will be rolled out. These vehicles will be able to talk to each other as well as being connected to a smartphone app to allow people to hail them.
Alongside the trials in Milton Keynes and Coventry, Bristol will host the Venturer consortium, which aims to investigate whether driverless cars can reduce congestion and make roads safer.
Its members include the insurance group Axa, and much of its focus will be on the public's reaction to the technology as well as the legal and insurance implications of its introduction.
Greenwich is set to run the Gateway scheme. This will be led by the Transport Research Laboratory consultancy and also involves General Motors, as well as the AA and RAC motoring associations. It plans to carry out tests of automated passenger shuttle vehicles as well as autonomous valet parking for adapted cars.
In addition, a self-drive car simulator will make use of a photorealistic 3D model of the area to study how people react to sharing the driving of a vehicle with a computer.
Research undertaken by Virgin last year suggested that 43% of the British public wouldn't feel comfortable with the presence of driverless cars on the roads.
A quarter of those surveyed said that they would not get inside such a car.
Among the incidents it features is one that brought horror and great loss - the bomb that claimed the lives of nine men, women and children. It also killed one of the IRA bombers who carried it into Frizzell's fish shop that fateful Saturday afternoon 20 years ago.
"It may be 20 years but it could be 20 minutes ago," says Charlie Butler, who lost three family members in the bombing.
He still recalls the bright crisp autumn day when he and his wife were shopping on the Shankill - a day that was suddenly and without warning shattered by the explosion.
"I looked up the road and saw total carnage. People were lying around bleeding with horrendous wounds. I looked over to where Frizzell's shop used to be and it was no longer there," he remembers.
Mr Butler saw dozens of people in amongst the dust and debris clawing at the rubble. Without thinking, he joined them.
"I started pulling rubble away and it didn't hit me then that we could have been looking for bodies. I was looking for someone who was alive and trapped under the wreckage," he says.
As the minutes ticked by, he began to realise this wasn't going to be the case until he came across the body of 13-year-old Leanne Murray. She was placed on a stretcher, covered with a sheet and taken to a nearby ambulance.
"Even then, the severity of what had happened didn't strike me," he says.
"It was only when one of the emergency crews opened the back doors of an ambulance and there were other stretchers inside covered with sheets, then it started hitting home - this is bad."
Reverend David Clements ran the local Methodist church in nearby Woodvale. He was relaxing at home when he got the call about what had happened. He put on his clerical collar and went straight to the scene.
"I wasn't long in the ministry but I had my own experience of the Troubles. My father, who was a policeman, had been killed by the IRA and a very good friend of mine had also been shot," he says.
The clergyman helped to comfort relatives at the Methodist church just a few feet from the bomb scene. He also accompanied people to nearby hospitals while they searched for relatives caught up in the explosion.
While the churches did offer support in the immediate aftermath of the carnage, Mr Clements believes many people feel there has been a failure of pastoral care in the intervening 20 years.
"There hasn't been the support and help that there probably should have been," he says.
"I think what can be said by way of criticism of the churches generally can be said even more for the rest of society.
"Too many people in Northern Ireland have the notion that we're past it, get on with it, forget about it. Draw a line and get over it. I think that is grossly unfair for so many families who have lost in the Shankill bomb, in the Greysteel shootings and other situations like that."
The Methodist minster believes a level of criticism should be directed at government-funded agencies as well.
"Victims care and support is an issue that's hung around the edges of political debate for years. It has been misused by some people on both sides to advance their own political agendas and that has not, in most cases, been to the benefit and for the good of the victims themselves."
Mr Clements concedes it's an issue that is contentious and one that people in Northern Ireland may never properly get to grips with.
Around the time of the bombing, Jackie Redpath of the Greater Shankill Partnership was among those committed to the regeneration of a community in decline.
"The day before the bomb we had been to Stormont presenting our long-term strategy for the Shankill to the head of the civil service," he says.
"We came away from that meeting full of hope and possibility and then the bomb went off. While it knocked us for six, this was nothing compared to what it did to the families of the victims."
Mr Redpath says the attack reinforced their resolve to come back, not just from the bombing but also from 30 years of economic decline.
He says it made people determined not let this beat them, and he believes that since 1993 the Shankill has seen some of the best community development work in the whole of the UK.
"When you are attacked from outside, it brings a community together even more tightly," he says.
"The bomb reinforced that sense of community that was always there and it actually strengthened the spirit of the Shankill, making us more resilient.
"That came through in how people dealt with the immediate aftermath of the bombing, and we as a community took our hope from the hope of the families of the victims."
In the memorial exhibition at the local Methodist church, a table in the shape of the figure nine is covered in hundreds of small cards and scraps of paper.
Nearly dumped but now gathered together for the first time in 20 years, these were the messages of sympathy and support that accompanied the flowers laid at the site of the bombing in the days that followed.
On the back of a brown envelope stained with the glue of the long-perished sticky tape that was used to attach it, appear the words: "From a disabled Catholic and his family to the people of the Shankill Road - our thoughts are with you at this time."
BBC Northern Ireland's Mervyn Jess has a special report on the 20th anniversary of the Shankill bombing at 18:30 BST on BBC Newsline.
Theatre director Rupert Goold plans to bring Homer's epic to life with the help of 50 star names from the worlds of the arts, academia and politics.
The event will begin at the British Museum in London on 14 August and continue into the night at the Almeida Theatre.
Every word of the 15,000 line poem, about the fall of Troy, will be spoken.
The whole thing will also be streamed online - for 15 hours. "It's all or nothing," Goold told the BBC.
"Some years ago I did a stage adaptation of Paradise Lost, so I have previous form when it comes to verse narrative."
Devotees of ancient literature might be surprised to learn that Goold's idea for the performance sprang from something far more contemporary.
"I was inspired by Dermot O'Leary's 24-hour dance-a-thon [for Comic Relief] and how addictive it was to tune in and out of," he said.
"I think it's unlikely that many people will sit through 15 hours of it - but I like the idea that you could stream it round the world and look at all these amazing actors, newsreaders and historians who are reporting the story.
"My hope is that it will build a momentum like the Passion that Michael Sheen did for National Theatre Wales - and by the time it comes to fruition it will pull the artists and audience together at the Almeida."
The Iliad event is part of a one-off festival, Almeida Greeks, which will run alongside the north London theatre's three main stage productions of Oresteia, Bakkhai and Medea.
The new version of Aeschylus' Oresteia by Robert Icke (who will also co-direct The Iliad) opens tonight with a cast that includes Lia Williams as Klytemnestra and Jessica Brown Findlay as Electra.
The only surviving tragic trilogy from ancient Athens, the Almeida's Oresteia runs for three hours and 30 minutes, including two breaks.
"The thing I've heard most from people at previews is that they enjoy it in the way that that they can guzzle on boxsets, like fans of Breaking Bad or Mad Men," said Goold.
Bakkhai, which opens in July, stars Ben Whishaw as Dionysos. Rachel Cusk's new version of Medea, starting in September, stars Kate Fleetwood as Euripides' tragic heroine.
Other events in the Almeida Greeks festival, which runs from June to October, include a number of debates about ancient and contemporary culture. Titles include From Medea to Mumsnet, From Dionysos to Dawkins, and From Aristotle to Albert Square.
Filming of a Top Gear special was abandoned last year following protests over a number plate on a Porsche which Clarkson was driving.
The plate - which appeared to reference the 1982 Falklands War - was replaced.
Earlier this year, a local judge ruled the Top Gear team had not acted in "bad faith" in changing the plates.
But a court has now ruled the investigation be reopened, saying the crew swapped the plates knowing it was illegal.
The show provoked anger in 2014 among locals by using the registration number H982 FKL - taken by some as a reference to the Falklands.
The Top Gear team were forced to leave South America amid angry protests. The show's cars had to be abandoned by the roadside and the crew escorted to the airport after being pelted with stones.
Andy Wilman, the show's executive producer, defended the show arguing the plate number had not been deliberately chosen and it was "most definitely" not a stunt.
A group of Falklands War veterans appealed against the closure of the case and it has now been reopened by the court of appeals in the Tierra del Fuego province.
The prosecution accuses Mr Clarkson of "falsifying, altering or suppressing the number of a legally registered object".
"We think that the Top Gear team changed the plates with full knowledge of the fact that it was illegal," spokesman Osvaldo Hillard of the Centre for Malvinas Veterans said.
The case will now be reopened at Tierra del Fuego's High Court and it could take years to be solved.
Falsifying, altering or suppressing the number of a plate in Argentina can be punished with sentences of between six months and three years in prison.
Wilman said at the time: "Top Gear production purchased three cars for a forthcoming programme; to suggest that this car was either chosen for its number plate, or that an alternative number plate was substituted for the original is completely untrue."
Clarkson was sacked from the show earlier this year after attacking a Top Gear producer. Colleagues James May and Richard Hammond also left the show, along with Wilman, to start a new car show for Amazon TV. | A strike by conductors on the Southern rail network will still go ahead next week after the RMT was barred from ongoing talks, the union has said.

The statistics are measured using the Northern Ireland Composite Economic Index (NICEI), which is roughly equivalent to Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Although the measures are not produced on a fully equivalent basis, it suggests the NI economy grew slightly faster than the UK average. UK GDP expanded by 0.7% in that period.
However there is continuing evidence that the annual average rate of growth in the local economy lags behind that of the UK.
Northern Ireland's performance was the strongest quarterly growth since Quarter 3 2013 when there was 1.2% growth.
Growth was driven by the private sector where output increased by 1.6% in real terms over the quarter.
The services sector, which is the dominant part of the economy, was the main growth component contributing 0.9 percentage points. The production sector contributed 0.1 percentage points.
The public sector contribution, which is measured by jobs, fell by 0.2 percentage points during the period.
Meanwhile, separate official figures suggest the patchy recovery in the construction sector is continuing, contributing 0.3 percentage points to the figures.
The NI construction bulletin showed the total volume of output in Northern Ireland in the second quarter of 2016 was up by 4.1% over the quarter and 3.3% over the year.
The increase was accounted for by a 7.4% increase in new work, which was offset by a 5% decrease in repair and maintenance.
Across the different sectors infrastructure work was up by 8.5% over the quarter, while housing output was down by 2.7%
The figures only cover work in Northern Ireland and so do not account for the output of Northern Ireland-based firms operating elsewhere in the UK, where Northern Ireland's largest construction firms do the bulk of their work.
Gareth Doulas, 37, from Bridgnorth in Shropshire, had been preparing to climb Everest when the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck a week ago.
More than 7,000 people are now known to have died and 14,000 have been injured.
Stranded at North Base Camp, Mr Douglas was hoping to join the relief effort in Kathmandu, but was unable to reach the city.
"It seemed like the right thing to do," he said.
"I'd studied first aid, so I felt like I could be of some use and we had a doctor and a nurse on the team.
"But the roads were completely destroyed and we couldn't get there by air either."
Mr Douglas flew into Heathrow from Lhasa on Saturday.
He said the earthquake caused "boulders the size of cars" to crash down the mountain, but the scale of the disaster was not immediately clear.
"We had one climber with a broken leg and no deaths, so very lucky. South Base Camp was worse hit. It was only later we found out quite how bad it was."
The sherpas supporting Mr Douglas's team were from Kathmandu and initially there was no word on whether their families had survived. Like the climbing team they were stranded in North Base Camp for a few days.
"We gave them the tip money and just said 'go back, be with your families.'
"Their families were ok, but their houses were gone and they were sleeping on the streets."
Leaving Everest also meant abandoning a "huge dream" to climb the mountain.
"I was feeling strong, feeling good. We'd got to the top of the North Col and I felt like I was capable of going further.
"I'd been thinking about it [Everest] for years. It cost me a total of about £30,000 including travel, climbing permits and kit.
"I'd quit my job and sold my house in California to fund it. But money doesn't matter next to lives."
Mr Douglas said he had moved to the USA to pursue his dream of living and climbing in the mountains.
"The feeling of standing on a summit, especially the high altitude ones, is amazing."
He said he "can't wait" to return to Everest and said he might make another attempt next year, if the climbing permit could be transferred.
A friend of Mr Douglas's family, Sue Markham, from Albrighton, said her 18-year-old daughter had been caught up in the aftermath of the earthquake while on a gap year, but had received "no help" from the British embassy in Kathmandu.
Meanwhile, Ed Hullah, a paramedic from south Shropshire, is preparing to join the relief effort.
He swapped his planned all-inclusive holiday in Turkey for a self-funded trip to Kathmandu. He said he would join the Nepal Red Cross Society.
Cabozantinib has the potential to switch off tumours in some patients and could give them many months of good-quality life, doctors said.
Kidney cancer is the seventh most common cancer in the UK with around 12,000 new cases every year.
The drug has already been approved for use in Scotland.
A charity, Kidney Research UK, said treatment options for kidney cancer were limited and the newly-approved drug would offer patients "more hope and more time with their loved ones".
Sallyann Allenby, 61, from Surrey is being treated for renal cell carcinoma - the most common type of kidney cancer - at Guy's Hospital in London.
She had a kidney removed in 2013 after finding blood in her urine on holiday and then collapsing on the flight home.
Sallyann has tried several different treatments, one of which gave her unpleasant side-effects, and she has also participated in a clinical trial which did not work for her.
In July, she began another new treatment and said cabozantinib gave her another option.
"This is really another hope for people like me, it's something else to look forward to...
"It's bad enough having the cancer, but if you know there's something else you can try then that keeps you going.
"I've got two lovely granddaughters. I want to be around for a while yet."
In trials, the drug was shown to be useful in patients whose kidney cancer had spread around the body and had become resistant to other treatments.
The way cabozantinib works means it can target molecules on drug-resistant cancer cells, stopping the tumours or at least silencing them for a while.
It works very differently to chemotherapy drugs and also immunotherapy drugs such as nivolumab, which is approved to treat advanced kidney cancer on the NHS.
Nivolumab harnesses the power of the patient's own immune system to destroy their cancer cells.
Symptoms of kidney cancer can include blood in the urine, persistent pain in the side of the body just below the ribs and a lump or swelling in the kidney area.
The cancer usually affects adults in their 60s or 70s and is rare in people under 50.
If it's caught early, kidney cancer can often be cured but a delay in diagnosis means a cure is less likely.
A spokesman from Kidney Research UK said: "We are pleased to see cabozantinib has been approved by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, offering patients with renal cell carcinoma an increased chance of improved progression-free survival, compared to the standard therapy."
Evha Jannath fell out of a circular boat on the Splash Canyon attraction during a school trip to Drayton Manor Theme Park in Staffordshire on Tuesday.
The pupil, from Leicester, was rescued from the water and taken to hospital but pronounced dead a short time later.
A statement released by Evha's family said their "world was torn apart" following her death.
For the latest on this and other Staffordshire stories
They described her as "a beautiful little girl who was full of love and always smiling".
"Words cannot describe the pain and loss we feel, we are devastated that we will not see our beautiful little girl again."
Police said it was an "extremely difficult time" for Evha's relatives and the force was providing support.
The theme park remained closed for the day as "a mark of respect". The girl's school, Jameah Girls Academy in Leicester, was also closed.
In a statement, the Islamic day school asked that the Year 6 pupil's family and school community be given "time to grieve".
Head teacher Erfana Bora said Evha was a "lovely, sweet-natured girl [who] was loved by everyone at the school".
"We are trying to make sense of this terrible tragedy. Our thoughts and our prayers are with Evha's family," she added.
Prayers have been said for the girl at the Jameah Mosque in Leicester.
Staffordshire Police said a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation had begun.
The ride, which opened in 1993 and features up to 21 boats each with a capacity of six people, closed following the incident at the park near Tamworth.
It offers a "a wild ride" with "fast-flowing rapids" and riders must be at least 0.9m (3ft) tall to board, although those under 1.1m must be accompanied by an adult.
On Tuesday, park company director George Bryan, whose grandfather opened the site in the 1950s, said he was "truly shocked and devastated" by the death.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said it sent paramedics by land and air to the site.
A spokesman said crews discovered a girl "with serious injuries who had been rescued from the water by park staff".
She was flown to Birmingham Children's Hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later.
Zainab Mohammad said her 16-year-old sister, who was on the same school trip, was devastated.
"She came home, she spoke to mum and dad and she just went upstairs.
"She was devastated. She didn't want to talk about it. The school is not very big, everybody knows each other.
"We don't know what the cause is but what we really want is for the family to be able to grieve.
"A family member has been ripped from their family and it's a big loss. Everybody is in utter shock, there are no words."
Vikki Treacy told BBC 5 live her son fell in the water on the same ride in 2013.
She said Patrick, who was 10 at the time, "sort of stood up" for a photo and toppled from the boat.
The mother, from Rugby, said: "When you are queuing up, the loudspeakers are telling you the safety instructions, like please stay seated.
"[But] they're getting excited and giddy, they're not listening to a tannoy are they?
"[After he fell] I panicked and a woman... in the spectators' bit, hopped over a fence at the side and dragged him out.
"My son was in an area where the public could get to him. It's a dangerous ride. It really is.
"I'll never go back to the park. No way. Their aftercare was shocking."
Drayton Manor said it could not comment on the claims while the Splash Canyon investigation was ongoing.
A spokesman added: "The health and safety of our visitors is of paramount importance and we'd ask Vikki contacts us direct so that we can address her concerns."
Theme park enthusiast Ian Bell, who owns rollercoaster fan group Coasterforce, said rapids rides like Splash Canyon tended not to have seatbelts in case they capsized.
"They are fairly buoyant; they rarely capsize. They are very safe," he added.
Rides similar to Splash Canyon have been closed at other theme parks. Thorpe Park's Rumba Rapids was closed on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Alton Towers said it would be closing its Congo River Rapids ride as a "precautionary" measure.
In a statement the park said: "We are aware of the tragic events at Drayton Manor and our thoughts are with the family and all of those affected.
"Safety is our number one priority and, as a precautionary measure, the Congo River Rapids will be closed tomorrow and until such time as more details of the incident become available."
Health and safety lawyer Chris Green told BBC Radio 5 live he had been on the ride with his daughters and had never thought it could be dangerous.
He said the HSE would need to establish if the accident was work-related.
"They'd be firstly trying to understand from witnesses precisely how this has happened and that will determine whether it's them in conjunction with police, whether that's a report for the coroner or for other proceedings as well."
The death at Drayton Manor is thought to be the first at a UK theme park since 2004, when a 16-year-old girl fell from the Hydro ride at Oakwood theme park near Tenby, west Wales.
In June 2015, five people were seriously injured in a collision on the Smiler rollercoaster at Alton Towers, also in Staffordshire.
Mr Green said: "The Alton Towers scenario looked more perhaps as if something inevitably looked like it hadn't worked on the day. This one [at Drayton Manor] may be rather different."
In October 2016, four people died on a rapids ride at Australia's Dreamworld, on Queensland's Gold Coast.
Captain Icardi scored his goals between the 17th and 26th minutes - including a chipped penalty.

Jones met Exeter's coaching staff this week for the first time.
Australian-born Lees, who is eligible to play for England, has started all but one of Exeter's games this season.
"He's been playing a big man's game in our side and doing it very well and I think there aren't that many players like that in the country at the moment," Baxter said.
The 27-year-old Lees, who joined Exeter from London Welsh in April last year, has scored tries in each of the last two games and kept the likes of England international Geoff Parling out of the side.
"He's probably been under the radar a little bit," added Baxter.
"I believe in what you see with your own eyes and I think Mitch's actions speak louder than any words I can say about him."
Baxter also discussed a number of his established internationals with Jones, who was in attendance last week as the Chiefs recorded a famous win over French Top 14 leaders Clermont Auvergne.
Exeter have also got off to an impressive start in the Premiership, winning five of their opening six games, and sitting second in the table.
"He was pretty impressed with where we stand in the table at the minute, the way we've been playing and we've had some good results," Baxter told BBC Sport.
"It was a meeting about where things are going to with players.
"There were no shocking revelations to me, he was just very easy to talk to, very straightforward, and talked a lot of common sense, which was the kind of thing we'd expect, and it was nice to hear.
"The only message I can give to our lads is 'well done so far, you've obviously caught his eye with how you've been playing and the performances you've put in, but the important thing is to make sure you're the form player when the squad gets selected in a few weeks' time'."

Mohammed Anwar Sadat, a nephew of the late President Anwar Sadat, was accused of forging signatures on a draft bill and leaking sensitive information to foreign organisations.
Speaker Ali Abdel Aal said 468 of the 596 MPs in parliament, which is dominated by President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi's supporters, voted to unseat him.
Mr Sadat has denied the allegations.
"I answered the accusations with documents and demanded they be investigated by the judiciary," he said in a statement on Monday.
Mr Sadat was chairman of the House of Representatives' committee on human rights until last August, when he resigned over the failure to address abuse allegations.
The accusations he faced centred on his criticism of a draft law approved by MPs in November that human rights activists say would effectively prohibit independent non-governmental groups from operating in the country by subjecting their work and funding to control by the authorities.
Mr Sadat was accused by fellow MPs of leaking a copy of the draft law to a foreign embassy and revealing the inner workings of parliament in a message to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
Mr Sadat said he had not leaked anything to the embassy, noting that the law had already been published online by a ministry, and that his message to the IPU was a press release that was also sent to journalists and posted on his website.
In January, Mr Sadat also criticised the speaker for spending more than $1m (£800,000) on armoured vehicles for himself and two deputies at a time of austerity.
Mr Abdel Aal described such criticism of the parliamentary budget as a "crime".
The fin whale's remains were spotted near Hartland Quay at about 16:00 GMT on Wednesday.
Richard Haste from Torridge Council said it would require a "major operation" to remove the whale.
He urged people to avoid the area and dog owners to keep dogs on leads due to the possible bio-hazard risks.
British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) were involved in checking and identifying the whale.
Stephen Marsh from the charity said it was clear from the first photos it was a fin whale. He said it was small, less than half the 25m the creature can grow to.
He said: "With Fin whales we get about five or six a year coming into the UK but they are usually dead.
"We don't know where it came from; it could have washed up anywhere. The majority of these animals die at sea and we never see them."
Cheryl Fan Duerden, sent by the charity to identify the whale, said: "Very sad to see it flopped over and lodged amongst the rocks and blood in the rock pools, but to see a whale in its entirety is still pretty awesome."
She said she went with her husband on Wednesday evening to investigate and found the whale was already in a bad state of decomposition.
She said: "The skin was gone so it would've probably died a couple of weeks ago and washed up on a high tide."
Torridge Council could not say how much the removal of the whale would cost but Mr Marsh said it was likely to be "very expensive".
He said Britain faced a "huge decision" in the in/out referendum promised before the end of 2017.
But he said he was confident of getting what he wanted from reform talks.
Anti-EU campaigners say the talks are a "gimmick" - and the European Commission said the UK's benefits proposals could break free movement laws.
Mr Cameron formally set out his demands in a letter to the president of the European Council Donald Tusk saying four objectives lie at the heart of the UK's renegotiations:
Mr Cameron hit back at claims by former Tory chancellor Lord Lawson that the four goals were "disappointingly unambitious", saying they reflected what the British people wanted and would be "good for Britain and good for the European Union".
"It is mission possible and it is going to take a lot of hard work to get there," said the prime minister.
The European Union realises the British prime minister needs a fight and a bloody nose to drown out criticisms back home that this EU reform process is a sham; that Mr Cameron's demands are wishy-washy and worthless.
They realise he needs a sense of drama. Of a bitter battle fought and won. And they are preparing to give it to him.
But there are also some very real difficulties with the changes to the EU that David Cameron demands from a European perspective. Read more from Katya
David Cameron said benefit restrictions were needed to cut "very high" and "unsustainable" levels of immigration but added: "I understand how difficult some of these welfare issues are for some member states, and I'm open to different ways of dealing with this issue."
He claimed 40% of recent European Economic Area migrants received an average of around £6,000 a year of in-work benefits - although others have questioned those figures.
The prime minister said he wants the UK to stay in a reformed EU, but he has not ruled out recommending leaving if he cannot secure the change he wants with the leaders of the other 27 EU countries.
He did rule out a second referendum if Britain voted to leave, saying: "You the British people will decide. At that moment you will hold this country's destiny in your hands. This is a huge decision for our country - perhaps the biggest we will make in our lifetimes. And it will be a final decision."
And he said the changes Britain wanted "do not fall in the box marked 'impossible'.
"They are eminently resolvable, with the requisite political will and political imagination."
A spokesman for European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Mr Cameron's benefit restriction proposals were "highly problematic" as they affected the "fundamental freedoms of our internal market" and amounted to "direct discrimination between EU citizens".
But he said the Commission viewed the letter as the starting point of negotiations and it would work with the PM for a "fair deal for Britain which is also fair for all the other member states".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said "we want to work through these proposals with the aim of working towards a solution".
"Some points are more difficult than others, but given that we are working in the spirit of wanting to reach a solution, I am reasonably confident that we can succeed. Germany will certainly do its bit to help as far as European rules permit," she added.
David Cameron's letter to Donald Tusk says the UK will not stand in the way of further eurozone integration but calls for safeguards to protect British business from discrimination and a formal recognition that the EU has more than one currency.
It says: "Our concerns really boil down to one word: flexibility."
Examining the four key points from Cameron's letter
On immigration, the letter calls for a "crackdown on the abuse of free movement", including longer re-entry bans for fraudsters and those who engage in "sham marriages" - and stronger powers to deport criminals.
People coming to the UK "must live here and contribute for four years before they qualify for in-work benefits or social housing", writes Mr Cameron.
The PM says he hopes the letter will "provide a clear basis" for reaching a "legally-binding and irreversible" agreement and "where necessary have force in treaties".
If an agreement can be reached on his four demands, Mr Cameron tells Mr Tusk: "I am ready to campaign with all my heart and soul to keep Britain inside a reformed European Union."
The Vote Leave campaign said Mr Cameron's negotiating demands were "trivial" and that the only way for the UK to regain control of its borders and democracy was by leaving the EU.
Eurosceptic Conservative MPs criticised the prime minister's demands during a Commons debate, with backbencher Bernard Jenkin drawing gasps from MPs by asking: "Is that it?"
John Redwood said Mr Cameron should be asking for "much more" and there was nothing in Mr Cameron's speech to suggest Britain would get "anything like the protection we need" from European laws.
"It's about more than borders and migration," he added, "it's about who governs."
UKIP Leader Nigel Farage said it was clear Mr Cameron "is not aiming for any substantial renegotiation", with "no promise to regain the supremacy of Parliament, nothing on ending the free movement of people and no attempt to reduce Britain's massive contribution to the EU budget".
Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell said Mr Cameron's position on the EU was "a lot of bluff and bluster" and more about "appeasing" some of his Eurosceptic backbenchers.
Labour's position was that Britain should stay in the EU and "negotiate our reform agenda as members of the club", he added.
The SNP said Mr Cameron had broken his promise to properly consult the Scottish government on the issue.
The party's European Affairs spokesman Stephen Gethins said: "During the Independence Referendum the prime minister claimed a Yes vote could mean Scots being thrown out of the EU - the reality is that it is his own policies that are taking us closer to the exit door than ever before.''
Will Straw, director of Britain Stronger in Europe, said: "Today the prime minister has set out a series of sensible and sound reforms to improve Britain's relationship with Europe. It is now clear that Leave campaigners are losing the argument."
David Cameron is understood to want an early vote, but has already been forced to rule out holding the poll on 5 May 2016, the same day as national elections in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The referendum must be held by the end of 2017. There has been speculation the referendum could be held as soon as June next year - but Downing Street has dismissed this as "not true".
Alongside publication of the PM's letter, Chancellor George Osborne is meeting European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels as part of the renewed diplomatic push for EU reform.

The issue was raised by Labour MP Chris Bryant in the Commons on Thursday who said it was "entirely inappropriate" as it could reveal MPs' home addresses.
Details of where MPs travel to and from have been published by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.
IPSA says MPs will now just be asked for the date, cost and miles travelled.
Following a board meeting in the wake of last week's terrorist attack in Westminster, IPSA wrote to MPs: "In light of recent events, we have decided that we will now no longer publish any information about the places MPs travel to or from when they claim mileage.
"In addition, we plan no longer to publish MPs' landlords' names. We have never published full addresses. We will look at how we might redact the names of landlords already on our website."
Security concerns have grown following the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox last year and the terror attack in Westminster on 22 March in which five people, including attacker Khalid Masood, were killed.
MPs outside London can claim for journeys between their constituencies and Westminster and all MPs can claim 45p a mile for travel within their constituencies. They have been asked to give the purpose, origin and destination of the journey and distance travelled in miles.
But there have been complaints that publishing the start and finish point of regular journeys could allow an MPs' address to be identified, particularly in rural areas with few homes.
And Labour's Chris Bryant told MPs in the Commons on Thursday: "IPSA seem absolutely determined that they will publish information regarding MPs which will reveal their home addresses.
"I think this is entirely inappropriate and I hope the government will stand ready to legislate if necessary."
Commons Leader David Lidington told MPs the matter was "under active review" by IPSA and said: "I would certainly hope that they take action at the IPSA board to ensure that any such material that might identify a member and put a member at risk of possible attack would not be published in future."
In updated advice to MPs in February, IPSA said it "redacted all sensitive and personal information" which might threaten MPs' security and advised MPs that they did not have to include postcodes or full addresses.
An IPSA spokesman said: "We take the security of MPs, their staff and their families very seriously. We reviewed our publications policy over the summer, and checked it with the police who agreed that it did not put MPs' security at risk. We will always listen to police advice about security matters."
But he added that they had reviewed the policy "following the recent tragic events in Westminster".
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority was set up as a response to the MPs' expenses scandal of 2009 - providing greater transparency and replacing the discredited self-regulating expenses system - but has faced criticism from some MPs.
Finance director Nick Luff said the "upward pressure on costs" continued.
"We will keep prices as low as we can for as long as we can", he said. "If prices do have to go up, we will delay it for as long as possible."
The warning came as British Gas' residential arm saw profits rise 3% to £356m, up from £345m a year earlier.
Centrica's adjusted operating profit rose 9% to £1.58bn for the six months to 30 June, up from £1.45bn for the same period in 2012.
The company attracted criticism after raising energy prices for UK households by 6% in November 2012.
This pushed its average dual fuel bill up from £1,260 to £1,340 a year, according to energy comparison site Uswitch.
Speaking to the BBC, energy minister Michael Fallon called on the big energy companies to show "some restraint" in their consumer pricing after "big increases in bills over the last couple of winters".
Caroline Flint MP, shadow energy and climate change secretary said: "The time has come for a complete overhaul of our energy market.
"Labour has set out plans to break the dominance of the energy giants, open up the energy market, protect vulnerable customers from being ripped off and create a tough new energy regulator with the power to force energy companies to pass on savings to consumers."
Centrica said the cost of complying with the government-imposed Energy Companies Obligation (ECO), aimed at helping low-income households with their heating bills and reducing carbon emissions through insulation, would be £1.4bn by the time the scheme ends in 2015.
It said these costs, coupled with rising transmission costs and volatile wholesale prices, had dented British Gas Residential's operating profits, despite gas consumption rising 13% compared with the same period last year.
But it still expects British Gas Residential's full-year operating profits to be "broadly in line" with 2012's figure of £606m.
British Gas has introduced a Tariff Checker to help its customers work out if they are on the cheapest tariff, but rising profits are still likely to attract criticism from consumer groups if household bills continue to rise.
For example, Tom Lyon, energy expert at Uswitch.com, said: "We would urge suppliers to reduce the pressure on consumers by guaranteeing that they won't hike prices this winter.
"Last winter, almost seven in ten households (69%) went without heating at some point to keep their energy costs down."
And Mike O'Connor, chief executive of Consumer Futures, said: "Wholesale gas prices have not risen significantly and their gas production and much of their generation business has done well.
"Those factors should give British Gas confidence to hold its prices."
On Tuesday, Centrica announced that it had bought the energy marketing business of Hess Corporation in a $1bn (£657m) deal that makes its Direct Energy subsidiary the largest business-to-business gas supplier in the eastern United States.
In June, Centrica also spent £44m on a 25% stake in a shale gas exploration licence in Bowland, Lancashire, owned by Cuadrilla Resources and AJ Lucas.
The company has agreed to contribute a further £56m towards future exploration and appraisal costs associated with the project.
But shale gas is proving to be a controversial topic in the UK, with public protests over its potential to cause pollution and environmental damage.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, energy expert Cornelia Meyer, who also sits on the board of Shale Energy plc, said: "Shale producers will have to do a lot of work in educating the public, but in the end we need shale gas....to be energy secure."
Centrica's results come a day after French energy company EDF reported UK pre-tax profits of £903m and said it was pulling out of the US nuclear power market because of the widespread availability of shale gas in the country.
The shale gas glut has caused gas prices to collapse in the US, whereas costs in Europe have been rising, largely thanks to the move towards lower-carbon energy sources.
A total of 4,062 people - the most in the history of the Midland League - saw the newly-formed club beat Dunkirk 4-1.
"The crowd are going to help us win this league," said 20-year-old Birch.
"I've never played in front of so many. It was surreal. The hype for this game was massive."
Formed in the aftermath of Hereford United's winding-up in December 2014, Hereford FC beat FC United of Manchester in their first game back at Edgar Street during pre-season in July, again in front of a large crowd of almost 4,250.
A hat-trick from striker John Mills and another from forward Pablo Heysham got the Bulls off to the perfect start to life in the ninth tier of English football.
Birch says they have now set the standard they have to try and match consistently.
"We're going to have to keep playing well to keep the crowd coming, it works hand-in-hand," he added to BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"I think the players will be loyal - I can't see why anyone would want to leave with the potential that's here and the crowds."
Christie, originally from Livingston but now based in Nottingham, impressed in Sochi, winning the 500m, 1,000m and 1500m events, plus the overall title.
"Now I've shaken it up a bit, the Koreans might be more aware of what I'm doing, so it is going to be harder," the 25-year-old said of the hosts.
"Hopefully I can get a good result."
In the run-up to the European Championships, Christie was persuaded by her coach to change her racing style fairly dramatically, with speed key.
"I was changing my racing skills and trying new things," she told BBC Scotland.
"I was not brave enough before as it takes a lot more energy to race like that. Normally I end up with the speed at the end and I can't do anything with it because I'm in the wrong place. It was a lot harder on my legs."

The change in style worked wonders during the European Championships, and she is aware of the extra expectation as she targets a first world title at the event in Seoul, which starts on Friday.
"I feel pressure constantly in training. I think that is elite sports and part of being at the top of a sport," she said.
"You have to be able to deal with that and I think it's who deals with it the best who comes out the best in the end."
Christie has been part of the elite skating group in Nottingham since she was 15 and says she thrives on the in-house competition.
"We do push each other every day. Some people are pushed because of their ego, it's more friendly with others, with some challenging against each other. Everyone is different.
"I'm probably one of the ego-driven ones, unfortunately, and I normally fight with the boys.
"But it still helps if I'm trying to fight with them on the ice. They'll get faster because they want to keep me back there, and they're pulling me on at the same time.
"We all want each other to win as well, we don't want to get beaten by each other at the same time so you drive each other on."
Gurpreet Sandhu hit Horace Downes as he crossed Brassington Avenue, Sutton Coldfield, to go to place a bet.
Mr Downes died of an infection four months after the November crash.
Sandhu, 27, of Church Lane, Handsworth, who previously admitted dangerous driving, was jailed for three years and banned from driving for seven.
He was driving about 56mph in a 30mph zone when he hit Mr Downes, West Midlands Police said.
Mr Downes, known as John to family and friends, suffered a life threatening head injury but was moved from hospital to a rehabilitation centre just over a month after the collision.
But he died as a result of infection after being readmitted to hospital in February this year. A post-mortem examination did not establish a link to the collision.
His family have since allowed footage of the crash to be released in the hope it will deter others from driving at speed.
Mr Downes's daughter Janet Turner described her father as "the heart and soul of the family".
Reading a statement at Sandhu's sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday, she said: "It is not possible to put into words the pain and distress felt by the family."
Sgt Adam Green, from West Midlands Police, said Mr Downes's family had endured suffering because of "the selfish actions of one individual".
"Gurpreet Sandhu was late for work on the day of the collision. He drove at twice the speed limit in heavy rain, in an area where the likelihood of pedestrians being present was high.
"In allowing the graphic CCTV footage to be released, John's family hope that people will realise the impact of speeding and it will prevent another family suffering the same consequences."
The Old Bailey jury convicted Nelson Smith, 18, of murdering Barry Street, 32, at West Meadows, Ipswich.
He was found guilty of the manslaughter of Nathan Oakley, 18. He had been charged with murder but the jury returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter due to a lack of intent.
Smith denied the crimes and claimed he acted in self defence. He will be sentenced on Friday.

Smith, of West Meadows, Ipswich, was found not guilty of possessing a "bladed article".
During the trial, it was heard a row had broken out at the travellers' site.
Mr Street had smashed a caravan window with a can of Red Bull which prompted a violent confrontation between the partner of Smith's father and Mr Street's partner, it was heard.
A post-mortem examination revealed Mr Street had wounds to his back and neck.
Most of them will be going to Al Asad airbase in Anbar province, western Iraq, 100 miles west of Baghdad.
They include 50 trainers, 90 soldiers to protect the base and 30 to set up a headquarters. About 80 engineers will work on infrastructure for six months.
About 300 British personnel are already in the country helping to train Iraqi and Kurdish forces.
British forces will not be there to fight and will be confined to the limits of the base.
In a written statement to Parliament, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the deployment would add to the UK's "significant contribution" to the campaign against so-called Islamic State (IS, also known as Daesh).
"Our strike aircraft have now conducted around 900 air strikes against Daesh targets in Iraq and Syria and our intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft provide niche and highly-valued capabilities," he said.
"On the ground, our forces have helped to train more than 18,000 members of the Iraqi security forces, including Kurdish forces.
"As Iraqi forces continue to regain territory and begin preparatory operations to retake Mosul, it is important that the coalition continues to provide the support needed to allow them to make further progress."
BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale says that while the deployment has been planned for some time, Mr Fallon clearly hopes it will reassure nervous allies in the wake of the Brexit vote.
About 120,000 members of the British armed forces and civilians served in Iraq following the US-led invasion in 2003.
UK combat operations officially ended in April 2009. A total of 179 UK troops were killed.
Since Sam Smith collaboration, Latch, catapulted Surrey brothers Guy and Howard to fame (and triple platinum status in the US alone), they have racked up Grammy, Brit, and Mercury Prize nominations, along with a number one album Settle.
As they return with their sophomore album, Caracal, Howard spoke to the BBC about their whirlwind success and what we can expect from their much anticipated comeback.
So why did you call this album Caracal?
We work with a lot of different vocalists and ended up writing about a wide array of completely unrelated subjects so there isn't one message that runs through every song. It isn't a concept album. For that reason we couldn't pick one title that would sum up everything on the record so we thought we'd just stick an art work on there which was amazing in its own right, and name the album after the art work.
A caracal is a cat, right?
It is. It's been my favourite animal since I was a little boy because they look so cool and no one seems to really know about them.
How has your sound evolved since your debut album, Settle?
It's not so much the actual sounds that we use that have changed because they are a quintessential part of what Disclosure is, but it's the context that we're putting them in. What has changed is the types of songs that we're writing.
A lot of this album isn't house music. We just wanted to experiment with some other genres because we weren't raised by house music and, although we love it, it's not where we're from. It's more influenced by R&B, soul and jazz.
Was it a natural decision for Sam Smith to be the featured artist on the single, Omen?
To be honest, Sam is the only person from the last record that we thought we might use on this one again, purely because he's such a good friend of ours. It would feel like a waste to not get him on board. We work with him all the time anyway and I'd say he's probably our favourite person to write with in the world. We got in the room for a catch-up, more than anything, and ended up writing about five songs.
Featuring on Latch helped to propel Sam from a relative unknown to a global superstar. Are there any new artists featuring on this album that you expect to head in a similar direction?
I'd like to hope that all of them are. There's no reason that someone like Kwabs couldn't be equally huge as Sam. He has such a beautiful soulful voice, and some great songs too.
How did you decide who to work with?
We have three criteria. They have to be good singers. They have to be able to write music, because when we work with someone we sit down around the piano with them and write a song from start to finish. We don't want to just finish the song ourselves and tell them to sing it, because we like them to feel what they're singing about and have a connection to the song. And they have to be nice.
It must be very interesting seeing each artist's songwriting process?
Absolutely. But more than anything it's been very educational. We wrote this whole album with Jimmy Napes who likes to come up with the title of the song before writing the actual song. He says it gives him a base of subject to work around and build on. I like that idea.
Lorde was definitely one of the more interesting ones to write with. She has such a clear idea of what she wants to do and that's why she's such a good artist, you know? She has such an identity with her music. She got involved in everything, even the production.
What is the biggest way in which the success of Settle changed your life?
It's allowed us to make music for a living. Before this, Guy was working in a clothes shop and I was at school. Now we're both professional musicians. And we've moved out of our parents' house and into London.
The success of Latch in America has also completely blown our minds. That song is nearly four-years-old now and it's still playing on the radio in America. It actually broke the world record for staying in the top 40 for the longest amount of time ever in US.
What's next?
The album comes out at the end of the month. We're doing a big American tour including Madison Square Garden. When we were growing up we used to watch a video of Led Zeppelin playing Madison Square Garden with our dad every weekend. After that we go on a world tour…all over again!
Caracal is released on 25 September on Island Records.
A court order to exhume 99 former patients of the man - named only as Niels H - found traces of heart medication in 27 bodies, they say.
Niels H, 39, was convicted in February last year over two patients' deaths.
In court he admitted killing up to 30 patients with heart medication.
The judges at his trial at Oldenburg district court in northern Germany said that he had a desire to win approval by resuscitating patients. He gave them overdoses of a drug that shut down their cardiovascular systems.
The deaths took place between 2003 and 2005. Police in April said they were investigating at least 200 deaths, including at other clinics where he worked, in Oldenburg and Wilhelmshaven.
About 30 of the 99 exhumed bodies of former patients at the hospital in Delmenhorst were found to have heart drug residues, police told Der Spiegel (in German).
"We assume that the actual number of victims is much higher," the magazine quoted a police spokesman as saying.
Investigators say that their task is made harder because Niels H himself cannot remember how many patients he injected.
Prosecutors say there is now a strong probability that the defendant will face a new indictment.
If found guilty of all the deaths, he would become one of Germany's worst post-war serial killers.
During the trial one senior doctor described Niels H as a "passionate medic" who had made a good impression on staff.
Doctors did notice, however, that he always seemed to be around when patients were being resuscitated, often assisting junior doctors with the procedure, he added.
Although he was charged with three murders, the court found him guilty on only two counts, explaining that it could not be proved that the former nurse had been responsible for the third death.
In his trial last year he said he was "honestly sorry" and hoped families would find peace for his crimes, which he said were "relatively spontaneous".
A psychiatric expert in January 2015 said that Niels H - who was convicted of attempted murder in 2008 and imprisoned for seven and a half years - had claimed to have over-medicated another 90 patients, 30 of whom died.
On Friday Hayes also exchanged contracts to hand over power of London Wasps, who share Wycombe's Adams Park ground, to former player Ken Moss.
The Trust have taken control of Adams Park as well as the training ground.
I'm extremely confident the club are in the best possible hands
"The Trust are delighted to take control of Wycombe Wanderers, especially in the club's 125th year," said Trust chairman Trevor Stroud.
Stroud added: "The plan is to work to a break-even model which will secure a sound financial footing for the club."
Hayes himself believes the future of the club is in safe hands after relinquishing control.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time, first as managing director and then as owner, and my support for the club will continue to be just as passionate as ever," said Hayes.
"I'm extremely confident the club are in the best possible hands and wish the Trust every success in control of the club which I hold close to my heart."
Boss Zinedine Zidane says he expects Bale to return to match action within a month, meaning Bale should be fit for Wales' World Cup qualifier with the Republic of Ireland on 24 March.
The 27-year-old has been out since November after having surgery to repair ankle tendon damage suffered during a Champions League tie against Sporting.
"First day back on the training pitch with the boys," he posted.
Can't wait to be back in action now," he wrote on Twitter.
"He's fine. He's working very well and looks determined," Zidane said.
The French manager did not give an exact date as to when Bale might return, but hopes the Welshman will be available in time for the second leg of Madrid's Champions League tie with Napoli on 7 March.
"I hope that Bale is back with us before the return leg against Napoli," he said. "He still has to return to team training, which is the most important thing," he said of the club's record signing.
Wales boss Chris Coleman has already indicated that he expects Bale to be fit for the next international break.

Russia's athletics federation is banned from the event in London, having been suspended by the sport's global governing body in 2015 amid allegations of state-sponsored doping.
"It's a very utopian view, people will always seek to cheat," said Coe, speaking on BBC One's Andrew Marr Show.
Coe, however, added the system for detecting cheats "is a lot safer".
"We have the technology that allows us to be very much more specific about what we are looking for," he said.
"I would love to tell you that we will have a drug-free sport in future. Everything we are doing is engaged in trying to achieve that but we know a few people will cheat.
"What we do have in place now is an independent athlete integrity unit, we have independent sanctioning and discipline and we will be able to be a lot tougher and speed up the process."
Russia was barred from international athletics after last year's McLaren report claimed more than 1,000 athletes benefited from a state-sponsored doping programme between 2011 and 2015.
Coe said in April he was "disappointed" by the lack of progress made by Russia in anti-doping reforms.
Coe was also asked about Eugene, Oregon being awarded the 2021 World Athletics Championships.
The decision is being investigated by the FBI and the Criminal Division of America's Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the BBC learned.
The US city was awarded the event in 2015 with the IAAF bypassing the usual formal bidding process.
"First of all, 23 people voted for Eugene, Oregon," said Coe.
"Every sport wants to get into the United States. It has been a very clear intent from the IAAF to have a World Championships in the United States.
"I would have loved other cities in the United States to have bid for it. Eugene wasn't our choice, it was the choice of United States Track and Field Association.
"Eugene and Qatar came within three votes of each other and the council made a judgment that we needed to have a presence in the United States.
"If anything subsequently comes out of that that gives us any reason for concern we will look at that."
Choppers, who was 48, played Ada in the adverts that were broadcast on TV from the 1950s.
The zoo said the "much-loved" ape had signs of heart and liver failure and the decision to put her to sleep was made on Wednesday.
In 2014, the zoo told the BBC the use of apes on television had been wrong and Choppers was "mixed up" as a result.
Chimps like Choppers were trained by Twycross, in Leicestershire.
More on this story and other news in Leicestershire
They were dressed up in clothes and lip-synced with the voices of actors such as Peter Sellers and Bob Monkhouse.
They also appeared in children's shows Tiswas and Blue Peter and their messy tea parties were a big hit with the public.
After about 30 years the zoo ended its agreement for its apes to be used in advertising, but chimpanzees from abroad still appeared in tea adverts until 2003.
Twycross, which benefitted from revenue raised from the PG Tips ads, has since said the use of the apes was wrong.
As a baby, Choppers was rescued from poachers in Liberia by a British couple who brought her to be cared for at Twycross in 1973.
However, a life in TV had a damaging effect on the ape and it was only in her twilight years that she learned how to behave like a chimpanzee, zoo bosses said.
After her co-habitant Louis, who played Mr Shifter in the PG Tips adverts, died in their enclosure in July 2013, Choppers was introduced to the other apes in the zoo's collection.
It was an attempt to encourage her to exhibit more chimp-like behaviour and according to Dr Charlotte Macdonald, director of life sciences at the zoo, Choppers took to it well.
"She loved grooming the other chimps and even the keepers, she was very friendly and sociable," she said.
"She integrated well into the larger group [after Louis died] and acted as a peacemaker, she wanted to be everyone's friend.
"We are very upset and she will be sadly missed."

The Irish side's victory over Racing 92 moved them on to 16 points, three ahead of Glasgow as the sides prepare to meet at Scotstoun on Saturday.
Speaking after Glasgow's 29-15 Pro12 victory over Cardiff Blues, Townsend said: "We've got to play Munster and Leicester now and we'll just have to play really well to beat them."
He added: "Our destiny is still in our hands."
Townsend refused to be critical of Racing's performance in the 32-7 home defeat by Munster.

With their Champions Cup campaign already over after three straight defeats - two of them to Glasgow - the French champions made several changes to their side. They were 25-0 down by half-time before offering more stern resistance after the break.
"We watched it, the coaches, and switched it off after half-time when the result was a foregone conclusion," Townsend told BBC Scotland.
"Munster played really well. Racing were out of the tournament. They chose to mix up their team and there was only one team that dominated the game.
"The tournament is what it is. You have to play the opposition you're up against. We played Racing at the beginning and that's just the way it is. We played really well to win both those games."
Peter Murchie got two tries for Glasgow in their Pro12 match on Saturday, with Pat MacArthur and James Malcolm also crossing for Townsend's men against Cardiff.
The bonus-point win took Warriors to the top four of the Pro12, and Townsend feels it sets up his team nicely for the crucial meeting with Munster.
"Munster have played really well this season," added Townsend, who will replace Vern Cotter as Scotland head coach at the end of the season.
"They came very close to beating Leicester away in the last round. They lost that in the last kick of the game and I think that's their only defeat in their last 10 games. So we know what a tough team Munster are. We've played them twice already this year.
"It does make it tough for us in that we'll have to win our last two games to qualify. This group [of players] are capable of that and what we showed [against Cardiff] through the set-piece work of the forwards and through our energy and high-tempo attack - if we can play like that we'll have a very good chance next week."
A statement from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York has said the split caused "lasting damage" to the unity of the Church - something that contradicted the teaching of Jesus and left a "legacy of mistrust and competition".
It went on to say: "Such repentance needs to be linked to action aimed at reaching out to other churches and strengthening relationships with them."
This may seem like an apology that has arrived 500 years too late, but it comes during the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and is a further sign that these two Churches are seeking to repent of past failings and find more ways in which they might work together.
The historic rupture, which began in October 1517 when the German monk Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of Wittenburg Cathedral, led to centuries of violence, where rulers of one Church would frequently execute communicant members of the other.
Last October, Pope Francis and the Archbishop of Canterbury presided at a service in Rome that was held on the fiftieth anniversary of the historic summit between Pope Paul VI and Archbishop Michael Ramsey, which established the Anglican Centre in Rome.
In a joint declaration issued after the service in October, the two leaders said they were "undeterred" from seeking unity between the two denominations.
While the Archbishops of Canterbury and York embrace the theological distinctives that arose out of the Reformation, specifically Martin Luther's emphasis on Christian salvation being through faith and not by merit or effort, they regret the bloodshed that followed that historic rupture in 1517.
It is worth noting that both Churches always mark 4 May as a day for Reformation Martyrs, with the Church of England praying that 'those who have been divided on earth may be reconciled in heaven'.
Today's statement is a call to all Christians, of whatever denomination, to repent of division and to unite within the Christian Gospel.

The relics - stone tools, ceramics and human and animal bones - will be housed in a new centre in the city of Cuzco.
The deal ends a long dispute over the artefacts, which were taken from Machu Picchu by American explorer Hiram Bingham in 1912.
Machu Picchu, high in the Andes, is Peru's main tourist attraction.
"This agreement ensures the expanded accessibility of these Machu Picchu collections for research and public appreciation in their natural context," Yale President Richard Levin said.
Victor Raul Aguilar, rector of San Antonio Abad University in Cuzco, said he hoped that "all who visit Machu Picchu will enrich their experience and understanding of Inca culture with a visit to the centre".
The International Centre for the Study of Machu Picchu and Inca Culture will be jointly run by the US and Peruvian universities.
Peru had argued during the dispute that the artefacts were lent in 1911 but never returned. It filed a lawsuit against Yale in 2008.
Yale had said that it returned those relics which it borrowed, while it had full ownership of many others.
It also took protest marches and a letter penned by Peruvian President Alan Garcia to his US counterpart Barack Obama to win the battle over the artefacts, the BBC's Dan Collyns in Lima reports.
The relics will be yet another draw for hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit the 15th Century Inca site every year, our correspondent adds. | Yale University has signed an agreement to return to Peru some 5,000 Inca artefacts removed from the famed Machu Picchu citadel nearly a century ago. | 12,438,695 | 344 | 37 | false |
The Plas Madoc centre, in Acrefair, was saved from demolition in 2014 by local people and councillors.
Volunteers set up the Splash Magic charitable trust to run the centre and have overhauled the facilities.
The site could have shut at the end of the month had Wrexham council not granted the money.
It is half the amount the trust wanted but the decision has also paved the way for it to be able to receive a further £500,000 from the Welsh Government which had been conditionally pledged.
Darrell Wright, chairman of Splash Magic Trust, said the decision was a "surprise" because a council report had recommended a grant request be rejected, partly due to concerns over governance.
"I think that public pressure and a look at some of the answers we had given to the points raised swayed their judgement and gave us a positive result," he said.
"It's given us the confidence to move forward with plans we have in mind and to establish a rosier future for the centre."
The trust said the money would go towards the building's development.
Since taking over, it said it has drastically cut losses and increased footfall with 400,000 visits this year.
The move comes days after reports that South Sudan had ordered its troops to withdraw a short way from the border.
Disputes over the border remain unresolved and the two countries fought over the Heglig oilfield in 2012.
South Sudan gained independence as the outcome of a 2005 agreement that ended a 22-year civil war.

Why does South Sudan matter to the US?
Mr Bashir has asked the Sudanese authorities to "take all measures" for the reopening, state news agency Suna reported.
Last week Mr Bashir also agreed to consider lowering the fees paid by South Sudan for the use of Sudanese infrastructure to export oil.
South Sudan contains most of the oilfields that belonged to Sudan before 2011.
The new country descended into civil war in 2013 when fighting broke out between forces loyal to Mr Kiir and his then deputy Riek Machar, splitting the country down ethnic lines.
Hundreds of thousands of South Sudanese have fled to neighbouring countries including Sudan.
The Advertising Standards Authority said there was insufficient evidence to prove a direct link between blue light and retinal damage.
It ruled the ad, which promoted blue light filters, "must not appear again in its current form".
Boots said it was disappointed by the decision.
The advert, which ran in newspapers in January 2015, said: "Did you know that some blue light, from smartphone screens to sunshine, can affect your eyes?"
It went on to say smartphones, LED TVs and light bulbs were a source of blue light that "cause your retinal cells to deteriorate over time".
And in promoting the Boots Protect Plus Blue lenses, it said they "come with a special finish that filters out the harmful blue light and eases eye strain and fatigue".
However, a pharmacist and one other person said it was incorrect to argue that blue light from such sources damaged the eyes, and questioned whether the lenses offered protection.
The Advertising Standards Authority considered evidence submitted by Boots.
In its judgement the ASA said: "Because the evidence was not sufficient to establish a direct link between harmful blue light and retinal damage over time, we concluded that the claims were misleading and had not been substantiated."
A Boots spokeswoman said: "As a health-led Optician we are at the forefront of developing new solutions for our customers, including blue light filtering technology."
She said "We are disappointed that the ASA did not accept the clinical evidence we provided" and that Boots would provide further evidence that their lenses were effective.
The organisers, members of the ruling United Malays National Organisation (Umno), say they want to "uphold Malay dignity", leading to fears the march could stoke racial tensions.
It follows opposition rallies two weeks ago demanding that PM Najib Razak step down over a financial scandal.
Unmo said those rallies were attended by anti-government ethnic Chinese.
Race-relations are fraught in Malaysia, where ethnicity dominates politics.
Malays make up about two-thirds of Malaysia's population and play prominent roles in government and the civil service. Ethnic Chinese represent about a quarter of the population but own considerably more than that share of the wealth.
Organisers of Wednesday's march said it was call for respect for ethnic Malays.
"We will not provoke anyone or spark a racial clash. We will not riot," said Jamal Yunos, a key organiser and a senior Umno official.
People attending Wednesday's protests have been asked to wear red - the colour of the ruling party - to counter the distinctive yellow T-shirts worn by protesters at the late August rallies.
Security has been increased around Chinese areas of the capital, while many Chinese-run business have remained closed.
Ever since deadly sectarian riots in 1969 Malaysian governments have usually been keen to clamp down on overt racial provocations.
Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said any banners with "sensitive" wording would be confiscated.
Mr Najib, the president of Unmo, has not officially endorsed the rally but has allowed it to go ahead.
Last month, tens of thousands of people marched through Kuala Lumpur and other cities demanding Mr Najib resign amid allegations he personally profited from a state investment scheme.
He had denied the allegations, and Malaysia's anti-corruption agency has said the money came from foreign donors.
The Umno-controlled governing coalition has been in power since Malaysian independence in 1957.
But it has lost support in recent years as Chinese voters have moved to the multi-racial opposition, prompting an increasing use of anti-Chinese rhetoric by Malay hardliners.
The march is going ahead despite a thick haze enveloping the city, caused by illegal forest fire clearances in nearby Indonesia. Singapore and Indonesia itself are also badly affected.
The world number one said the Irishman's meticulous attention to detail had helped set up Europe's eighth win in 10 Ryder Cups.
"He has just been the most wonderful captain," said McIlroy.
"I think I speak on behalf of all the 12 players and say he couldn't have done anything else. He was fantastic."
McGinley, 47, had drawn on the experience of former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who addressed the team prior to the start of the tournament.
Media playback is not supported on this device
McIlroy added: "From the first day we got here, the speeches that he gave, the videos he showed us, the people that he got in to talk to us, the imagery in the team room, it all tied in together.
"It was all part of the plan, all for the cause of trying to win this Ryder Cup, and he was meticulous in his planning. He left no stone unturned."
McGinley's side led 10-6 going into the final day and Europe needed four points to retain the trophy they claimed two years ago, but they won five matches and halved three more to seal a comfortable victory.
Lee Westwood, 41, playing in his ninth Ryder Cup this week, said McGinley has laid down the blueprint for future European Ryder Cup captains, while Spaniard Sergio Garcia, now a seven-time veteran, suggested McGinley had modernised the role.
"I think you could base your captaincy and your future captain around the way Paul did it this week," said Westwood.

And Garcia added: "He has been so methodical. Every single aspect he needed to touch on, he did. I've been fortunate to have a lot of great captains. Paul did things a little bit differently, but with great style.
"He has been a little bit more of a modern captain, taking care of every single detail. He knew what we had was good but improved it without changing it."
McGinley, who sank the winning putt as a player at the Belfry in 2002, insists he has no plans to try to do the job again or act as someone else's vice-captain.
"I've got a role now in deciding who the next captain will be, and we'll see where that goes in the next few months on behalf of the European Tour," he said.
"But certainly, no, I've done my piece and I'm happy to have the honour and happy to help in any way going forward but I don't think it would be right for me to go into the vice-captaincy role."
More than 300 family members travelled to the region on Friday, exactly four months after the Airbus A320 went down.
The unidentified remains of the 150 victims were buried on Thursday night in a cemetery in the town of Le Vernet, ahead of the memorial service.
Mayor Francois Balique said they had been placed in a mass grave.
"For the families of the victims, it's a second burial because they have already buried the remains of their loved ones that could be identified by DNA," he told AFP.
The aircraft crashed on 24 March during a flight from Barcelona to Duesseldorf, killing everyone on board.
Investigators believe co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately flew the plane into a mountain, after locking the captain out of the cockpit.
There were passengers from 18 countries on the flight, although most were Spanish or German.
All of the remains that could be identified by French police were returned to their families for burial.
The chief executive of the airline Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings, did not attend Friday's interfaith ceremony.
Carsten Spohr has been involved in a disagreement with some of the families over compensation pay outs.
The parents of 16 German students, who were returning from a school trip, said Mr Spohr had failed to apologise for the crash.
In an open letter they said a compensation offer of €85,000 (£60,000; $93,000) "deeply insults us, and above all else our children".
A Lufthansa spokesman said "the tense atmosphere" meant Mr Spohr would not be attending the memorial service, AFP reports.
"He does not want to disturb the ceremony with this issue," a spokesman added.
He had been taken to the hospital in Paris with an intestinal infection on Friday morning, his wife said.

In a submission to the government's review of the "on-demand" economy seen by the BBC, the firm says that at present the law prevents it from offering enhanced rights because it classifies its riders as self-employed.
Deliveroo says it uses that classification to provide its riders with the flexibility to work when they want.
It says employment rules should be changed so that people who work for companies like Deliveroo and Uber can receive enhanced benefits and not lose that flexibility.
Sources say that the firm is willing to look at enhanced payments to riders to cover things like sickness pay - and that the money would probably be administered under a government controlled scheme similar to national insurance or pensions contributions.
It may mean that Deliveroo riders and others working for similar on-demand firms like Uber are "reclassified" as gig workers.
The move comes after a slew of criticism and court cases against gig economy companies over how they treat people who work for them.
"Central to our popularity with riders and our success as a business is the flexible nature of the work that we offer," the submission says.
"We want to offer riders more security.
"We believe everyone - regardless of their type of contract - is entitled to certain benefits, but we are constrained in offering these at the moment."
'Gig economy' workers 'should get minimum wage'
'Pay self-employed minimum wage'
At the moment "self-employed" workers in the gig economy do not have the right to sickness pay, holiday pay or maternity and paternity leave.
They also are not covered by the minimum wage rules.
That has led to criticism that the people who ride or drive for gig companies are actually "workers" and should receive a wide range of benefits.
There are also concerns that companies are exploiting loopholes in employment law and lack of enforcement to run their businesses profitably.
Deliveroo says that if it did offer "worker" contracts, flexibility, which is very popular with its riders, would be lost.
Deliveroo riders, for example, are allowed to work for other on-demand economy businesses at the same time.
This makes it impossible, the firm argues, to guarantee the minimum wage which is based on working for a single employer.
Deliveroo says its riders earn on average £9.50 an hour, £2 more than the National Living Wage.
The firm says it is wrong that riders are at present involved in a "trade-off" between flexibility in the way they work, and the security of full employment benefits.
Company sources have told me that, following moves on sickness pay, Deliveroo would be willing to look at holiday pay, pension rights and maternity and paternity entitlements.
Those rights could be "earned" by riders after a certain number of deliveries have been achieved.
"At present, companies in the UK are forced to class the people they work with as either 'employees', 'workers' or 'self-employed'," the submission says.
"Our riders are 'self-employed'. This gives them full flexibility - but the quid pro quo is that they are not entitled to certain benefits.
"In short, there is currently a trade-off between flexibility and security and we want to play our part in overcoming this divide."
Deliveroo is one of a new breed of "on-demand" firms which operate in what is known as the gig economy.
Riders for the firm - 60% of whom are under the age of 25 - log on to the company's digital platform and receive "jobs" delivering food, on a bike or a scooter.
Matthew Taylor, the head of the Royal Society of Arts, was asked by the government to review this new world of work, including the gig economy and zero hours contracts.
He is expected to publish his report imminently on how to reform employment law so that workers can be flexible without being exploited.
Deliveroo's announcement today has received pretty short shrift from the TUC. Here's general secretary Frances O'Grady on my story this morning:
"This reads like special pleading. There's nothing stopping Deliveroo from paying their workforce the minimum wage and guaranteeing them basic rights like holiday and sick pay.
"Plenty of employers are able to provide genuine flexibility and security for their workforce. Deliveroo have no excuse for not following suit.
"The company's reluctance to offer benefits now is because they want to dodge wider employment and tax obligations by labelling staff as self-employed."
Here's another update. The boss of Deliveroo, Will Shu, has told me that the company is willing to go further than offering its riders sick pay and injury insurance.
I put it to him that the benefits debate in the gig economy went far further than sickness benefits and injury insurance, and asked whether the company would look at issues like pension payments and holiday entitlements.
"This is the beginning of the debate," Mr Shu told me.
"We sat down with - me personally - hundreds of riders and asked, what do you care most about today?
"It was sick pay and insurance for injury and that is what we are starting with. But we are open minded to different things."
That sounds like a yes, the company is willing to look at further benefit areas.
It will be interesting to see how Matthew Taylor's report, expected next week, deals with the issue of broader rights for gig workers.
I asked Mr Shu for his response to critics who say that the only way firms like his make money is by not paying national insurance payments for their riders, pension contributions and other benefits.
"Not at all," he answered.
"I understand [the criticism] - it is a new way of doing businesses.
"The on-demand economy in Britain is five or six years old and there are hundreds of thousands of people in it so the growth has been huge, and so it is understandable that people haven't understood the intricacies.
"At the end of the day though, let's take it back, it is a very different relationship than regular employment. People can come and go as they please.
"The issue is this - if we offer benefits to people the courts may reclassify self-employed people as workers thus robbing them of the flexibility they ultimately signed up for, for the job.
"What that practically means is that you would work on a shift pattern, you wouldn't log in and out as you please. It is a very different work relationship."
And would mean that Deliveroo wouldn't be, well, Deliveroo.
Bennett is being considered for the Sevens team in Brazil in August.
Only three players in coach Vern Cotter's "tight" 27-man squad were not named for the 2016 Six Nations.
Scrum-half Henry Purgos and hooker Fraser Brown were injured, while 22-year-old wing Damien Hoyland, who has one cap, comes in.
Sean Maitland, who dropped out during the Six Nations through injury, has also been chosen for the travelling party.
The inclusion of the London Irish wing along with Edinburgh's Hoyland means there is no place for Glasgow Warriors' Sean Lamont, the 35-year-old with 104 caps who said this year that he had no intention of retiring from international duty.
"Damien was involved in the pre-World Cup preparations and has done some very good things," Cotter noted. "He can score points and gets over the try-line, has a good step on him and is hard to tackle.
"There are a few things for him to work on and this is a good opportunity for him to come away with the team and start doing things at a more accurate level, which is what he'll need in the Test arena.
"Sean Lamont has been a great soldier for Scotland and has done really well. He will have a bit of rest at home and it is an opportunity for Damien to come through."
Hooker Brown is preferred to team-mate Pat MacArthur, while four other Glasgow players drop out despite being involved in the Six Nations.
Fly-half Duncan Weir, prop Gordon Reid and back-rowers Adam Ashe and Chris Fusaro also miss out.
With Glasgow's Pyrgos included as the second scrum-half behind captain Greig Laidlaw, Edinburgh's Sam Hidalgo-Clyne has been overlooked.
Also missing are London Irish back-row Blair Cowan, Edinburgh lock Ben Toolis and Gloucester-bound centre Matt Scott, while Glasgow prop Zander Fagerson - who made his debut in the Six Nations - is included in the Under-20s squad for next month's World Championship.
"Matt [Scott] was very close, but he has just come back from injury and hasn't had a lot of game time," Cotter said. "We know we can count on Matt and there are a few more games before the end of the season, so more players may be added to the squad."
With Glasgow centre Alex Dunbar being assessed for a knee injury sustained in Glasgow's Pro 12 defeat at Connacht on Saturday, Cotter said any additions could also include Bennett - who played sevens for Scotland at the 2014 Commonwealth Games - if he is not selected for the GB Sevens team.
"It is a great opportunity for him," Cotter said. "He wants to do it and we said we won't stand in his way, if he does get selected.
"It is a dream of his and if he gets the opportunity, that will be great. It was his choice. He is very excited about it."
Cotter said he had not discussed the prospect of Olympic sevens selection with full-back Stuart Hogg, who he said "had made up his mind that he was coming on tour".
Scotland face Asian champions Japan on Saturday 18 June at Toyota Stadium, Toyota City, and on 25 June at Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo.
Both matches will be broadcast live by BBC Scotland, with 11:20 BST kick-offs.
Scotland beat Japan 45-10 at last year's World Cup, four days after the Japanese caused one of the biggest upsets in rugby history by beating South Africa 34-32.
"We are expecting two very tough games and are taking it very seriously," Cotter added. "Japan are probably the most improved team in world rugby and have a number of players developing in Super Rugby.
"In addition we will only have five days after the flight to prepare for the first Test, so this is a chance for this group to develop under that sort of duress."

He is just one of the hundreds of patients who have gathered at the small open-air clinic in the grounds of St Theresa's - the Roman Catholic cathedral in Juba.
On Sunday, they sang for peace as a Nigerian cardinal, visiting from the Vatican, held the service and then delivered a letter from the Pope to President Salva Kiir, asking him - and his deputy - for that very same thing.
For three months the two men, whose political differences sparked civil war, have been sitting at the same table, trying to make a transitional government of national unity work.
That dramatically fell apart the night before South Sudan celebrated five years of independence in a barrage of bullets, which the president's spokesman said left 273 dead bodies lying in the street outside State House.
He showed us the bullet holes, the smashed glass, the blood-stained concrete, the empty brass casings, and he blamed someone else.
It was bodyguards for opposition leader-turned first Vice-President Riek Machar and Mr Kiir's presidential guards who fought each other, sparking days of violence earlier this month which killed many hundreds of soldiers and civilians.
Bizarrely, both leaders were inside the building at the time, as were the city's press corps - they videoed themselves cowering as the gunfire erupted around them.
As the shooting stopped, the two men gave a joint press conference appealing for calm.
That the fighting continued for the next few days is either a sign they that do not control their troops, or they care more about settling scores than they do about their people.
The man who went from vice-president to opposition leader and back to vice-president again says it was an attack on him.
Eugene Owusu, Unmiss deputy head
"This represents, in my view, a major reversal for South Sudan - and also undermines prospects for the peace agreement going forward"
Many of Mr Machar's best troops were killed and he fled the capital. It is not known where he is and, as South Sudan's peace deal hangs by a thread, it appears he is back to being an opposition leader again.
Amid talk of rifts within the opposition, the president says the peace deal both men signed still stands, and that Mr Machar can return to the capital and take up his old job.
Mr Machar has called for a neutral force to police the peace in Juba, but the president does not agree.
The African Union has pledged to send troops, but President Kiir says he does not want or need them.
The United Nations has been piling on the pressure. The UN struggled to keep civilians safe in this latest round of fighting and is concerned about where this leaves the peace deal.
"This represents, in my view, a major reversal for South Sudan, and also undermines prospects for the peace agreement going forward," said Eugene Owusu, the deputy head of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (Unmiss).
"I really do hope that with the big guns in Juba being silent, the main protagonists will see the primacy of peace and to ensure that the people of this country can live a life of peace and prosperity and dignity."
When the fighting started, UN peacekeepers were blocked from getting more than 500m from their bases by government checkpoints.
Thousands of people rushed into the already crowded protection of civilian camp known as UN House in Juba.
Its numbers swelled to more than 35,000 as heavy fighting took place nearby.
Water trucks were not able to deliver the 150 loads required every day, and a shell hit an armoured UN vehicle inside the base. Two peacekeepers were killed and others injured.
Close by to UN House, international aid workers were attacked by soldiers - some were raped and badly beaten. The UN was unable to reach them to help.
A World Food Programme warehouse containing enough food for 220,000 people for a month was completely looted - even the fabric of the building was taken.
"I think the mission is very, very constrained in terms of resources," said Mr Owusu.
"So we could absolutely do with additional resources, both in terms of human capabilities and also in terms of assets like helicopters."
More on South Sudan's crisis:
And in the meantime the humanitarian crisis is deepening.
Journalists still were not able to visit UN House amid security fears, but aid organisations set up clinics and help-points around Juba.
"Every day, we are seeing 400 people in our mobile clinics - the problems are malaria, malnutrition - we are seeing a lot of severe acute malnutrition," said Dr Farah Hussein from Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF).
That does not happen in a week - it comes from years of war and a collapsed economy. South Sudan now has the highest inflation rate in the world at 300%.
It was an MSF nurse who was treating Taban, and many other patients in the cathedral grounds.
Bodies are still being collected by the Red Cross around Juba and there are still reports of gunshots.
We will probably never know how many people died the weekend the world's youngest country celebrated its fifth birthday - or of all the terrible things that happened when the guns and rockets were being fired across its capital.
The emphasis is now on the leaders to lead - and to put the people ahead of the politics.
There seems little hope for the unity government with Mr Machar weakened and not in town - though his place could be taken by another.
Either way it is not the road to stability South Sudan appeared to be on before the fighting broke out at State House.
About 70 of the 284 pupils at Dearham Primary School in Maryport are off sick after contracting the winter vomiting bug over the weekend.
A spokesman said they were following protocol and those affected have been asked to stay away from school for 48 hours until they are symptom-free.
Public Health England said it was investigating an outbreak among pupils.
Norovirus is one of the most common stomach bugs in the UK and causes diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting.
Speaking to the Voice of the Viewer and Listener lobby group, Lord Hall said the BBC needed to do more with its "world-class" audio content.
Citing the BBC's domestic on-demand iPlayer service for video, he said he wanted a similar platform for radio but aimed at audiences outside the UK.
However, he gave no detail as to how or when such a service would begin.
Lord Hall said the online on-demand video service Netflix had cited the BBC as its inspiration with the success of the corporation's iPlayer.
Netflix, a commercial subscription service also available via TV sets, has had success with dramas such as House of Cards, Orange is the New Black and The Crown.
"With our world-class content, we could use our current output and the richness of our archive to create a Netflix of the spoken word," said Lord Hall.
Explaining his thinking, he said: "One of my goals in the years ahead is to strengthen and expand those areas in which we really lead the way globally.
"News, natural history and drama, yes. But also education, science and the arts. And audio."
He said Britain offered some of best radio in the world and, alongside the BBC's World Service output, there was more significant potential to offer more content around the world.
"One of the big challenges I have set my teams is just that: to enhance our global audio offer. The BBC makes the best radio in the world. It is one of our crown jewels, and we have an extraordinary wealth of audio riches at our disposal.
"It's one of the things that will help the BBC carry the full weight of Britain's culture and values, knowledge and know-how to the world in the years ahead. And say something really important about modern Britain."

Paul McMullan scored the other as the Pars ended a run of five games without a win to move three points clear of the visitors in the Championship.
The Sons' reply by Daniel Hardie came with only four minutes to go.
Confusion reigned after Dunfermline's second goal as Carswell left the pitch to be treated for a bleeding nose.
Sam Stanton hastily came on as a replacement for the Sons, who had gone into the game unbeaten in their last four games.
Michael Moffat set up the opener for the Pars after only seven minutes with a teasing cross that found Clark unmarked to nod home.

Then came the bizarre incident between Carswell and Docherty.
Clark continued to cause problems for the Sons defence and duly scored goals three and four with headers inside the six-yard box.
The striker's fourth came when he was allowed to turn and fire a shot in from the edge of the penalty box.
Dumbarton's small band of supporters had something to cheer when Harvie fired in from 12 yards.

The World Health Organization declared the infection a global public health emergency last month after an outbreak in the Americas.
University of Manchester said it hoped to deliver results within 18 months after being awarded £178,000 funding.
Scientists in other countries are also working on possible Zika vaccines.
Manchester researchers hope to "test a vaccine based on a safe derivative of a pre-existing smallpox vaccine - the only disease to have been successfully globally eradicated," a university spokesman said.
Dr Tom Blanchard, who is leading the project, said: "As we have seen in the case of Ebola, there is now a real need to react quickly to fast-spreading tropical diseases."
He said Zika can cause serious illness, but "it often has no visible symptoms, so a vaccine for those at risk is one of the most effective ways of combating it."
The grant was announced after the UK government said it would increase its funding for rapid research into countering the virus from £1m to £3m - alongside a £1m commitment from the health charity Wellcome Trust.
Despite the increase, manufacturing output was still down 0.6% from the same month last year.
The wider measure of industrial production fell 0.2% in September, but was 1.1% higher than a year earlier.
Other figures from the ONS indicated the goods trade deficit narrowed to £9.35bn in September.
The deficit - showing that the UK imported more goods than it exported - was down from a gap of £10.79bn in August.
The deficit in goods and services narrowed to £1.4bn in September from £2.9bn the previous month.
However, for the July-to-September quarter, the trade deficit in goods and services widened to £8.5bn, from a gap of £5.1bn in the previous quarter.
Last month, the ONS said the UK's economy grew by 0.5% in the third quarter, in its first growth estimate for the quarter.
The latest ONS figures show that industrial production rose by 0.2% in the July-to-September period, slightly below initial estimates of 0.3%, while manufacturing output fell by 0.4%.
Lee Hopley, chief economist at the manufacturers' organisation, the EEF, said: "While manufacturing contracted in the last quarter, there are signs that some parts of industry at least were mounting a comeback after a summer lull."
She added, though, that there were risks from the economic slowdown happening elsewhere around the world: "Another disappointing set of trade figures for manufacturing show that these effects are already being felt, with a significant fall in goods exports to China over the past three months."
Though he is guilty of nothing, this Pakistani labourer is on the run - with his five children.
His wife, Asia Bibi, has been sentenced to death for blaspheming against Islam. That is enough to make the entire family a target.
They stay hidden by day, so we met them after dark.
Mr Masih told us they move constantly, trying to stay one step ahead of the anonymous callers who have been menacing them.
"I ask who they are, but they refuse to tell me," he said.
"They say 'we'll deal with you if we get our hands on you'. Now everyone knows about us, so I am hiding my kids here and there. I don't allow them to go out. Anyone can harm them," he added.
Ashiq Masih says his daughters still cry for their mother and ask if she will be home in time for Christmas.
He insists that Asia Bibi is innocent and will be freed, but he worries about what will happen next.
"When she comes out, how she can live safely?" he asks.
"No one will let her live. The mullahs are saying they will kill her when she comes out."
Asia Bibi, an illiterate farm worker from rural Punjab, is the first woman sentenced to hang under Pakistan's controversial blasphemy law.
As well as the death penalty hanging over her, Asia Bibi now has a price on her head.
A radical cleric has promised 500,000 Pakistani rupees (£3,700; $5,800) to anyone prepared to "finish her". He suggested that the Taliban might be happy to do it.
Asia Bibi's troubles began in June 2009 in her village, Ittan Wali, a patchwork of lush fields and dusty streets.
Hers was the only Christian household.
She was picking berries alongside local Muslim women, when a row developed over sharing water.
Days later, the women claimed she had insulted the Prophet Muhammad. Soon, Asia Bibi was being pursued by a mob.
"In the village they tried to put a noose around my neck, so that they could kill me," she said in a brief appearance outside her jail cell.
Anarchy threat
Asia Bibi says she was falsely accused to settle an old score. That is often the case with the blasphemy law, critics say.
At the village mosque, we found no mercy for her.
The imam, Qari Mohammed Salim, told us he cried with joy when sentence was passed on Asia Bibi.
He helped to bring the case against her and says she will be made to pay, one way or the other.
"If the law punishes someone for blasphemy, and that person is pardoned, then we will also take the law in our hands," he said.
Her case has provoked concern abroad, with Pope Benedict XVI joining the calls for her release.
In Pakistan, Islamic parties have been out on the streets, threatening anarchy if she is freed, or if there is any attempt to amend the blasphemy law.
Under Pakistan's penal code, anyone who "defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet" can be punished by death or life imprisonment. Death sentences have always been overturned on appeal.
Human right groups and Christian organisations want the law abolished.
"It was designed as an instrument of persecution," says Ali Hasan Dayan, of Human Rights Watch in Pakistan. "It's discriminatory and abusive."
While most of those charged under the law are Muslims, campaigners say it is an easy tool for targeting minorities, in this overwhelmingly Muslim state.
"It is a hanging sword on the neck of all minorities, especially Christians," says Shahzad Kamran, of the Sharing Life Ministry, which ministers to prisoners, including Asia Bibi.
"In our churches, homes and workplaces we feel fear," he says.
"It's very easy to make this accusation because of a grudge, or for revenge. Anyone can accuse you.
"Even our little children are afraid that if they say something wrong at school, they will be charged with blasphemy."
Asia Bibi's story has sparked a public debate in Pakistan about reforming the law, but it is a touchy - and risky - subject which many politicians would prefer to ignore.
Campaigners fear that the talk about reform of the blasphemy laws will amount to no more than that.
When Pakistan's Minister for Minorities, Shahbaz Bhatti, raised the issue six months ago, he was threatened with death.
"I was told I could be beheaded if I proposed any change," he told us.
"But I am committed to the principle of justice for the people of Pakistan. I am ready to die for this cause, and I will not compromise".
Mr Bhatti, himself a Christian, hopes that Asia Bibi will win an appeal to the High Court, or be pardoned by Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari.
He says she is one of dozens of innocent people who are accused every year.
"I will go to every knock for justice on her behalf and I will take all steps for her protection".
But even behind bars Asia Bibi may not be safe.
Several people accused of blasphemy have been killed in jail.
Thirty-four people connected with blasphemy cases have been killed since the law was hardened in 1986, according to Pakistan's Justice and Peace Commission, a Catholic campaign group.
The death toll includes those accused, their relatives, and even a judge.
In a neglected graveyard by a railway track in the city of Faisalabad, we found two of the latest victims of the blasphemy law.
They are brothers, buried side by side, together in death, as they were in life.
Rashid Emmanuel was a pastor.
His brother, Sajid, was an MBA student. They were gunned down in July during their trial - inside a courthouse, in handcuffs and in police custody.
Relatives, who asked not to be identified, said the blasphemy charges were brought because of a land dispute.
After the killings, the extended family had to leave home and move to another city. They say they will be moving again soon.
"We don't feel safe," one relative told us.
"We are shocked, like an electric shock. We are going from one place to another to defend ourselves, and secure our family members."
Once a month they come to the cemetery to pray at the graves of their lost loved ones.
They are too frightened to visit more often.
They bow their heads and mourn for two men who they say were killed for nothing - except being Christian.
Co-op Group reported a pre-tax loss of £132m for 2016, a sharp deterioration on the previous year's profit of £23m.
It reduced the value of its 20% stake in Co-operative Bank from £185m to zero, reflecting the bank's continuing problems.
The group also said that its financing costs had risen by £74m in 2016.
The Co-op Bank, which has four million customers, put itself up for sale in February.
It almost collapsed in 2013, but was rescued by a group of US investors. Under that deal, Co-operative Group kept a 20% stake in the bank.
But the new owners have struggled to revive the bank's fortunes. Last year, it lost £477m - the fifth consecutive year of losses.
Co-op Group said it had made a "prudent valuation" of its stake in Co-operative Bank based on the "volatility" caused by the sale of the bank.
Co-op Group said that operating profits, which exclude the loss related to the bank stake, were up 32% in 2016 at £148m.
Those profits were boosted by the sale of its crematoria and a 3% rise in sales.
"We've made great progress in rebuilding our Co-op, with all our businesses delivering strong performances," said chief executive Steve Murrells.
He said that in 2017, the Co-op Group would look to expand outside of its current markets.
"We are exploring how we can enter markets that are not serving people well and challenging existing providers," he said.
Tipu Sultan, 32, was found with a single gunshot wound outside the town's Herbs n Spice Kitchen on 7 April.
Two men were captured on CCTV leaving the scene on a motorbike after what police have said was a planned attack.
The detective leading the investigation said he hoped the reconstruction would encourage witnesses to come forward.
Det Ch Insp John Bent of Northumbria Police said: "To shoot someone in the throat from half a metre away is a cold-blooded killing.
"This is a man who was very much a pillar of society, well known, well respected, polite, considerate and a young father.
"Those who did this are particularly dangerous people and people that we need to catch."
The victim's brother Mahsum Sultan said: "He was an amazing person.
"You have that one person in your life who is always smiling and you never see them sad. He was that person."
Since the murder investigation was launched, more than 1,000 homes have been visited by officers carrying out house-to-house enquiries and 225 statements taken.
Officers have also received more than 100 phone calls, emails and letters from members of the public.
A 35-year-old Newcastle man has been arrested and bailed in connection with the death.

It follows the results of an eight-week public consultation which ran from 30 August to 25 October.
Councils are considering four options from 2019. That includes retaining all nine authorities.
The merger plan comes after it was revealed the authorities had to make £200m of savings by 2019.
Cutting the number of councils in the area is expected to save about £108m over six years.
One of the proposals is the merger of Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and East Dorset, and the formation of a smaller conurbation of North Dorset, Purbeck, West Dorset and Weymouth and Portland.
Another option is for the existing unitary authorities of Bournemouth and Poole to combine, leaving the rest of Dorset to merge.
However, according to officials, the most popular choice is for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole to join forces, with the remaining councils forming a second unitary authority.
A fifth of the 20,000 households who were sent surveys responded.
More than 12,000 online open questionnaires were also completed and a number of workshops held in each area.
Figures showed the majority of residents supported moving to two councils, with 68% of open questionnaires and 73% of household surveys in favour.
This change could see councillor roles cut from the current 331 to about 180, as well as the potential loss of about 450 council jobs - mainly focused on senior roles.
Each council will now discuss the proposals early next year, and a final decision will then be made by the government.
The changes have previously met opposition, including from Christchurch MP Chris Chope who said it was "an attack against democracy".
He exceeded expectations in his first campaign by securing a Europa League place after finishing third in the league behind champions Dundalk and Cork City.
But the 60-year-old former Kilmarnock boss believes Derry should have reached at least one final in 2016 - something he hopes to put right this time around.
"We let ourselves down a bit losing at home to Limerick in the League Cup semi-final and we were unfortunate to go out against Dundalk after a replay in the semi-final of the FAI Cup," said Shiels.
It has been a mixed bag for Shiels in the transfer market as they get ready to kick-off against Bohemians at Dalymount Park on Friday night.
I want to win some silverware and our best hope is probably one of the two cups
Defender Niclas Vemmulund and midfielder Conor McCormack have departed to join rivals Dundalk and Cork respectively.
On the plus side, Mark Timlin has returned after a year with St Patrick's Athletic and Northern Ireland Under-21 striker Mikhail Kennedy, along with Scottish midfielder Nicky Lowe, have joined on loan deals until the summer.
Israeli central defender Alon Netzer has become the latest arrival on Foyleside.
Perhaps, Shiels' best piece of business was to retain the services of highly-rated central defender Aaron Barry despite interest from several other clubs.
Former Northern Ireland international Rory Patterson will be expected to provide the bulk of their goals.
But 20 years on from their last league championship success under manager Felix Healy, Shiels says a tilt at the title is unlikely.
"We are trying to grow a team, rather than purchase a team, to win the league," said Shiels.
"It is going to be difficult to reach the top four but we will try. I want to win some silverware and our best hope is probably one of the two cups."
In some respects, Derry City are about to embark on a season like never before.
The re-development of the Brandywell Stadium means the club have had to relocate to Maginn Park in Buncrana, County Donegal for the 2017 campaign. The first game there will be against newly-promoted Limerick on 3 March.
When the club does return to the Lone Moor Road in 12 months' time, it will be transformed into a 3G pitch and new stand. The Showgrounds in Sligo would appear the most likely option to stage their Europa League game in July.
"The players are really looking forward to playing at Maginn", said 21-year-old former Spurs trainee Aaron McEneff, the driving force in City's midfield.
"The surface is unbelievable there and, as it's a tight ground, the fans will be close to the pitch so it should create a good atmosphere.
"It is a change and I think we're all excited about it to be honest."
The decision by the FAI to go ahead with re-structuring plans for the 2018 season means the upcoming campaign will be fraught with danger for top-tier clubs.
The bottom three teams will be relegated automatically this term with only the First Division champions coming up in order to establish a two-division, 10-team structure.
It's been a contentious decision - which has not gone down well with a lot of clubs - but it will make for one of the most exciting campaigns in years.
Half the division could enter the final weeks of the campaign fighting for their lives.
At the other end, the race for the title will most likely be another duel between Dundalk and Cork which has developed into a fascinating rivalry in recent year.
Stephen Kenny's Lilywhites are on the brink of equalling Shamrock Rovers' four-in-a-row heroics of the 1980's.
European funds have strengthened their position although they have lost Daryl Horgan and Andy Boyle to Preston and Ronan Finn to the Hoops from their title-winning side.
Derry would do well to match last season's third-place finish but fourth could be enough to ensure another European campaign when they return home to Brandywell in 2018.
Bohemians v Derry City will be live on BBC Radio Foyle 93.1FM on Friday night. Coverage starts at 19:30 GMT presented by Dessie McCallion with commentary from Eric White and former City striker Liam Coyle.
Lilac Sky, based in Chelmsford, Essex, will manage academies to be built in Hailsham and Newhaven.
East Sussex County Council successfully applied to the government's Education Funding Agency for extra funding for the academies.
The new schools are scheduled to open in September 2015 and each will create 210 primary places.
The Lilac Sky Academy Trust already runs several academies and has worked with over 70 schools on projects with teachers and pupils.
Councillor Nick Bennett said: "We already commission Lilac Sky to provide support at some of our schools.
"Lilac Sky has a track record of offering outstanding provision, securing good outcomes for students and working closely with local communities."
The goal was announced by the president of the European Union's executive body, Jean-Claude Juncker, in his annual state of the union address.
He also wants at least one city in each EU country to have deployed a 5G mobile network by 2020.
However, one expert cast doubt over whether the public would benefit.
European officials have struggled to deliver an earlier promise to abolish mobile roaming fees.
The new pledges may not apply to the UK because it may have quit the EU before the end of the decade.
Mr Juncker said digital technologies were "permeating every aspect of life", so everyone should be able to get online.
"Everyone benefiting from connectivity means that it should not matter where you live or how much you earn," he said.
"So, we propose today to equip every European village and every city with free wireless internet access around the main centres of public life by 2020."
A factsheet for his Wifi4EU plan states that it applies to parks, squares, libraries and public buildings.
However, it makes clear that the commission plans to spend a maximum of €120m (£102m) to install the necessary equipment, and that local bodies will have to cover subscription costs, maintenance and other expenses.
Mark Newman, chief analyst at the telecoms consultancy ConnectivityX, said: "€120m doesn't sound like a huge amount of investment.
"In many towns and cities, people can already find free wi-fi on the High Street.
"I would question whether frugal councils will really see it as a priority to deliver free wi-fi in all their buildings and squares."
Mr Newman said the 5G pledge was also less impressive than it sounded.
"The 5G standard itself won't be ready until 2018," he said.
"And I can't see any spectrum licences being allocated until the next year or the one after that.
"So, the only deployment in 2020 would be in highly targeted areas - something like a shopping precinct or Trafalgar Square.
"That means there will be limited coverage and very few devices available to access it, so saying it should launch in major cities by that date isn't actually saying very much."
Additional goals set for 2025 included:
The EU's digital economy commissioner backed his president, suggesting the targets would help focus minds.
"Europe has the ambition to lead on the deployment of 5G," said Gunther Oettinger.
"It is time to move to a gigabit society and make sure all Europeans, whether in the countryside or the cities, can get access to a quality internet connection."
The European Commission has faced criticism of its handling of a promise to stop its citizens being charged roaming fees when using their handsets in a different European country to their own.
The executive first proposed the idea in 2013.
But when it published a detailed plan, earlier this month, it said there should be a 90-day limit to the commitment.
Its intention was to prevent people living in one country buying a plan from another to cover their day-to-day use.
But the move caused a backlash, and last week Mr Juncker called for the scheme to be rethought.
"The draft was not technically wrong," Mr Juncker said in his state of the union address.
"But it missed the point of what was promised.
"And you will see a new, better draft as of next week.
"When you roam, it should be like at home."
The Scottish Open takes place 12-18 December as part of the Home Nations Series.
McManus told BBC Scotland: "Generally when the guys play at home you do get someone who goes deep in the tournament.
"Hopefully it will be myself, but if it's one or two of us then that'll be good. Certainly (a win) for the punters would be massive."
The tournament is the first World Snooker ranking event held in Scotland since the World Open in 2010, when Ronnie O'Sullivan was soundly beaten in the final by Neil Robertson.
In the opening round at the Emirates Arena 128 players will take to the tables, including ten Scots, and among the draws a clash of the local favourites - McManus and world number six John Higgins from Wishaw.
McManus admits there used to be more all-Scottish battles, particularly in the years following the snooker boom of the 1980s, although believes his countrymen are still holding their own.
"To a man everyone one of us fight hard, we always do," added the 45-year-old.
"You've got John [Higgins] and Stephen [Hendry], although he's now retired now, they're two of the best players in the game but I think collectively we all really work hard and try hard - we're like that as a nation the Scots.
"You look at rugby, the football we've been struggling with that down the years and if a few of the Scots boys can do well in the snooker then that's good for us as a nation."
The Tyco BMW rider, who took the Supersport honours earlier in the day, led throughout to take his overall tally of successes at the event to 13.
The Yorkshireman produced a stunning opening lap of 133.098mph to smash the previous lap record for the class.
Hutchinson had a 27.6-second advantage over second-placed Dean Harrison.
The 36-year-old edged out compatriot and fellow Kawasaki rider James Hillier by 1.9 seconds.
Michael Dunlop retired at the end of the opening lap with a gear lever problem after lying second, 16 seconds behind the eventual victor.
The triumph saw Hutchinson move above Dunlop into fourth in the all-time solo winners' list at the TT and draw level with Bruce Anstey's record of four Superstock wins at the meeting.
The Bingley rider also broke the race record by more than 17 seconds as he gave the Tyco-backed TAS team their first success at the race for eight years.
"I pushed on from the start again and I really love riding this bike. Everything seems so easy on it and I just kept riding it hard," said an elated Hutchinson, whose opening circuit was clocked at a staggering 17 minutes 0.5 seconds.
"It's a great feeling to give the TAS team their first win here for quite a few years," he added.
Michael Rutter ended fourth, with Gary Johnson fifth and Morecambe's John McGuinness completing the top six.
Conor Cummins from the Isle of Man finished seventh, with William Dunlop in eighth.
Among the retirements were Bruce Anstey, Peter Hickman and Lee Johnston, who was challenging for a podium position.
The 27-year-old scrum-half, who has also played as a winger, joined Exeter from Bath earlier this month.
He has linked up with his new teammates for the first time this week following international duty with Fiji where he played against England and Japan.
"I'll play any position in the back line as long as I'm playing," he told BBC Radio Devon.
"There's lots of talent in here and I'm looking forward to playing with the boys for this season and hopefully we're going to be in a good spot for the end of the season."
Matawalu's appearance against England was his first since February after injuring his knee ligaments.
"He's looking pretty sharp, he hasn't played a lot of rugby in the last eight or nine months so we're actually pretty pleased with how he's turned up," Exeter head coach Rob Baxter said.
"We're going to have to monitor him for a little while, he's desperate to get onto the pitch for every minute that he can.
"We're having to drag him off and make sure he doesn't overdo it in his first couple of days, but he'll be up and running within a couple of weeks."
Marcondes, 22, has passed a medical and will join the Championship side on a three-and-a-half year deal when his current contract expires.
The Denmark Under-21 striker has scored 17 goals in 94 Superliga appearances.
"His signing is another indication of us looking towards the future and preparing for what's to come," manager Dean Smith told the club website.
"We have a good knowledge of Danish football and we feel that Emiliano can progress further with us."
Marcondes is Brentford's seventh addition this summer, following the signings of Ollie Watkins, Neal Maupay, Kamo Mokotjo, Akaki Gogia, Luke Daniels and Henrik Dalsgaard.

The deal will help it step up efforts to map cyber crime in Britain and the rest of the world.
Intel Security and Trend Micro will be part of "virtual threat teams" who help take down hi-tech thieves.
The firms will help expose attacks and the gangs and computer infrastructure they use and abuse.
Andy Archibald, head of the NCA's Cyber Crime Unit, said the closer relationship had grown out of collaboration between the law enforcement agency and security firms over the last 10 months.
That collaboration had led the NCA to arrest people in the UK involved in manufacturing malware, running money mules who laundered cash or running hosting services that catered to cyber thieves.
"Security firms have a far greater understanding of the threats in terms of what they see on a day-to-day basis," he told the BBC. "They have a massively important part to play in terms of understanding and identifying who and where the threat comes from.
"Traditional law enforcement in response to crime has a victim who reports, an investigation and there's a criminal justice outcome," he said. "But the response to cyber crime has to be more sophisticated than that."
The NCA needed a global view of the threats and attacks hitting people and organisations in the UK and that was data the security firms were able to provide, Archibald explained.
In addition, he said, the intelligence would help in cases when it was not possible to identify individuals behind particular attacks - prompting the NCA to target servers or other resources used to carry them out.
The detailed data provided by Intel and Trend would be invaluable in helping reveal where attacks were coming from and which machines were being used, he said.
Raj Samani, chief technical officer in Europe for Intel Security, said: "As an industry we get visibility of the most prominent, the most prevalent types of attacks, the countries where the majority of attacks seem to originate."
Mr Samani added that the last 10 months of collaboration between the NCA and security firms on many different operations against cyber thieves and gangs had produced "remarkable" results.
"We started off with Gameoverzeus and Cryptolocker, we had Blackshades, we had Shylock, we had Ramnit, we had Simda and we just concluded with Beebone," he said. "There's more to come."
Quins led 6-3 after 20 minutes before Coventry-bound Wasps hit back courtesy of an electric solo Joe Simpson try.
But lock Charlie Matthews galloped over to make it 13-10 to Quins at half-time.
Two Andy Goode penalties to one from Nick Evans levelled matters, but a penalty try gave the visitors the win.
Wasps - who were missing captain James Haskell after a virus - and Harlequins have been playing this London derby since the 19th century.
But with the imminent departure of Sunday's hosts to their new home in Coventry, this was a suitably competitive final chapter to their history as warring neighbours.
A tight affair was always on the cards, with three of their past five Premiership matches decided by one point, and the others by just two and three.
And this game was nip and tuck until the final 20 minutes when the Harlequins pack assumed total dominance in the scrums and laid the platform for the visitors to make it two wins out of two in Europe this season.
A penalty duel between respective fly-halves Evans and Goode saw Quins lead 6-3 quarter of the way through the game before the 6ft 8in, 18-stone Matthews - hard to ignore at the best of times - took centre stage.
He was narrowly denied a try when he was held up over the line but he could not keep out of the game, although his next involvement was less welcome for the visitors.
Wasps scrum-half Simpson, who seems to have slipped down the England pecking order, ripped the ball from Luke Wallace and beat the gangly Matthews before racing clear of the despairing dive of Chris Robshaw to score a cracking try.
However, Matthews redeemed himself on the stroke of half-time, finishing off a fine move after a superb break by mobile hooker Dave Ward and some magical handing involving the likes of England full-back Mike Brown and Fiji wing Asaeli Tikoirotuma.
With both tries converted the visitors led by three points at half-time but a further kicking duel between Goode and Evans meant the sides were locked together at 16-16 on the hour.
The scores may have been level but Quins were looking the stronger side and their pack upped the power in the scrums, duly winning a penalty try to secure the decisive score.
Wasps boss Dai Young:
"We were never in control from the word go, Quins were by far the better team and the final score-line flattered us.
"We lacked energy and it was a really flat performance from a very tired team.
"We've had some big performances this season but that caught up with us today and it was a reality check."
Quins boss Conor O'Shea:
"We should have taken more chances than we did but I'm delighted as it takes a good side to do that to Wasps here at Adams Park.
"It was a big step forward as it was a hugely physical performance from us as people say we can't win against sides that are physical against us.
"Our leading players face a huge four weeks with England and with the LV= Cup coming up it's a chance to give the legs of Nick Easter and Nick Evans a rest."

Sailings of the high-powered trimaran Liberation have been cancelled since Friday because of steering problems.
Passengers had been due to be transferred to the Clipper ferry, but that broke down on Saturday morning.
Condor said the Liberation would be back in service on Tuesday on the route between the Channel Islands and Poole.
The firm has apologised to customers and offered refunds.
It said Monday's Liberation passengers would be transferred to the Tuesday services and its booking staff would work until late on Sunday.
Passengers were delayed embarking at Portsmouth on the Clipper for 12 hours on Friday after a ramp failed.
The ramp was being fixed on Sunday and the Clipper is expected to sail again on Monday.
The firm said fixing the ramp on the Clipper required a specialist crane, which delayed the work.
"We could have lowered the ramp more quickly, but that could have caused permanent damage, so we took the prudent approach of sourcing a specialist crane to lower it, that's why it took longer," said a spokeswoman.
Condor's executive chairman, Russell Kew, said: "I'd like to apologise to all those customers who have been inconvenienced over the last 24 hours, and to thank them for their understanding and patience." | A community-run leisure centre in one of Wrexham's poorest areas will remain open after it received a £50,000 grant to keep it going.

Duncan Storrar is an ordinary Australian in extraordinary circumstances. In the space of four days he's been heralded as a national hero, given A$60,000 ($44,000; £30,000) in donations and revealed as a drug-using criminal with an extensive rap sheet.
Yet all he did was ask a question on a television show.
Every Monday night, political enthusiasts tune into Q&A on the Australian Broadcasting Corp to see a panel of politicians, commentators and academics face a studio audience of ordinary Australians.
Bespectacled, messy haired and dressed in a white hoodie, Storrar made his Q&A appearance on 9 May, the first day of the Australian election campaign. He asked the panel about the government's plan to give workers who earn more than A$80,000 a year a tax cut, while providing nothing for low-income earners.
"If you lift my tax-free threshold that changes my life," he said. "That means I get to say to my little girls, 'Daddy's not broke this weekend, we can go to the pictures'.
"Rich people don't even notice their tax-free threshold lift. What don't I get it? Why do they get it?"
The studio audience erupted in applause. Conservative panel members struggled to find a narrative - Assistant Treasurer Kelly O'Dwyer drew particular disdain when she settled on explaining how the government's planned tax cuts for business could help a cafe buy a A$6,000 toaster.
Unlike most Q&A audience members, Storrar cut through. His simple, plaintive message resonated through social media and was quickly picked up by major Australian news websites.
Commentators on the left side of politics immediately developed an acute case of Duncan-mania. He was dubbed a "good bloke", then soon after a "national hero". #istandwithduncan started trending on Twitter.
Someone started a tongue-in-cheek GoFundMe page to raise enough money to buy Duncan a toaster. Its target was A$6,000 - it has now raised more than A$60,000.
Duncan Storrar had been transformed, literally overnight, from a regular bloke with a valid question to an everyman symbol for progressive politics.
But for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, and so it proved with Storrar. It took just one day for the nation's conservative broadsheet, The Australian, to go on the attack, first by demonstrating that he, in fact, paid no net tax when his social welfare payments were taken into account.
Harsher assessments followed. His son, Aztec Major, told The Australian that he had gone to live with his estranged father at age 17, only to end up addicted to drugs. He urged people to donate to charities, rather than giving to a man he described as "undeserving of the money".
On Friday, Storrar's lengthy criminal record was revealed. Various media reported that he had been convicted for offences including assault, drug possession and threatening to kill. He had also breached intervention orders taken out against him by ex-partners.
Storrar has gone to ground, overwhelmed by the unexpected intensity of the coverage. The revelations of his criminal past call into question the fate of the A$60,000 in donations. Commentators on the left are crying foul at the brutal takedown; those on the right are crowing that "social justice warriors" have turned a criminal into a hero.
It took a particular mix of circumstances to whip up this media storm. Australia's election campaign is in full swing and the Liberal-led government and Labor opposition are sharply divided on tax policy. The government wants to lower the company tax rate over 10 years, while Labor wants to outlay billions of dollars on education and health.
Accusations of "class warfare" have been flying thick and fast.
Storrar stepped into the middle of this narrative. The simplicity of his question and his disarming delivery caught the conservative panellists off-guard. Their flummoxed responses fed a great story - Aussie battler takes on intellectual snobs and wins.
Added to this is the pressure cooker of social media and digital news, where people can be raised up and then squashed in a matter of hours. Fifteen years ago, Storrar's moment in the spotlight would most likely have ended when the Q&A credits rolled. This week the Duncan train rolled on for four days straight.
Despite his past misdeeds, it's hard not to feel sorry for Duncan. He didn't ask to be made a hero and he didn't ask for donations.
He has a dubious past, but so do thousands of other Australians with criminal records. Most don't end up with their worst moments exposed before the entire country to prove an ideological point.
He will probably get to keep at least some of the A$60,000 donated to him, although ironically it may push him into a higher tax bracket. The media circus will find its next sideshow and life will move on. The left and right of politics are busy throwing stones at one another, but the truth is both sides played their role.
Duncan Storrar's story is a modern-day fable that contains salient lessons about the internet's mob mentality. You can build a hero in a day, but you can tear them apart just as quickly.
Mark Collett and his girlfriend Eva Van Housen - who has a swastika tattoo - have been handing out Vote Leave leaflets and badges from an official-looking stall in Leeds city centre.
Mr Collett was chair of the BNP Youth Wing before the party expelled him.
Vote Leave said he was not part of their campaign and they had asked him to stop using their material.
Eva Van Housen posted a picture on Facebook on 8 May with a Vote Leave badge pinned on a top which revealed the swastika tattoo with the comment "had a really great time today with Mark doing a Vote Leave stall". She describes herself as a "white-national socialist" on Twitter.
Vote Leave is the officially designated campaign to get Britain out of the EU in 23 June's referendum.
A spokesman for the Yorkshire branch of the campaign said they had asked Mr Collett to stop campaigning with their materials on 8 May.
But on Facebook Van Housen posted on 15 May that the couple "did another really great Vote Leave stall today".
Mr Collett posted a photo last weekend of the couple at "another very successful Vote Leave stall this weekend with the help of some other veteran nationalists".
Vote Leave are looking into how the former senior BNP member managed to get hold of their campaign materials.
On his Facebook page, Mr Collett has called on other nationalists to campaign for Vote Leave posting "if you want to do your own stall contact Vote Leave and they will send you everything you need to get started".
A Vote Leave spokesman said: "Mark Collett and his associates are not part of our campaign.
"We are a volunteer organisation, but anyone who is or was in the past a BNP campaigner is asked not to campaign for us or to distribute Vote Leave material."
One Vote Leave organiser in Yorkshire said Mr Collett had signed up to the campaign using a fake email address under a different name. When they found out who he was, he was de-registered as a supporter.
But in the two weeks since that happened Mark Collett has continued campaigning with his girlfriend using Vote Leave materials outside shops in Leeds.
Ms Van Housen told BBC News she felt "very strongly about leaving the EU" and had obtained campaign materials from her local Vote Leave branch to set up a stall.
She added: "I have spoken to members of the public of all races, nationalities and sexual orientations, and we have had a very positive response from the public, they have greatly appreciated our campaigning work and we have truly made a difference.
"I have in no way brought my political views in to my Vote Leave campaign work. This is about leaving the EU and only that."
She said Vote Leave asked her to stop using their materials when they discovered that Mr Collett was a former member of the BNP.
"Vote Leave is a non-affiliated volunteer campaigning group, they have absolutely no right in telling me and my partner to discontinue the stalls," she told the BBC.
"Myself and my partner and any other nationalists will continue to hold Vote Leave stalls and leaflet up until the referendum. My political tattoos and beliefs are left out of my campaign work entirely."
Mr Collett has been contacted for a response but has yet to provide one.

The camps, a gulag-type network created half a century ago, hold thousands of inmates who are made to undergo "laojiao", also known as "re-education through labour".
But the case of one woman, Tang Hui, sent to a camp last year, galvanised public opposition to the system. Reforming it would be a significant legal step.
Tang Hui took us to visit the camp where she had been held, tucked into a fold of hillside, an hour or so from Changsha in Hunan Province.
The Zhuzhou Baimalong Labour Camp is an imposing sight, built like a prison.
At the front there's a giant, curved facade, lined with classical columns, where the main gate stands. Behind it is a sprawling collection of white buildings, some six or seven storeys high, with workshops, vegetable gardens and a parade ground, all surrounded by a high wall and watchtowers.
The camp is just one component in China's sprawling gulag system, known as "laojiao". These camps are a throwback to the years just after China's Communist revolution, and many outside China don't even know they still exist.
There's a constant flow of police vehicles and buses in and out of the camp. It's big enough to hold hundreds of inmates, all sent here to undergo "re-education through labour". You see them every now and again, in lines, walking from one building to another, performing exercises.
Drifting on the wind you can hear the chants of inmates, undergoing their forced re-education. Just an order from a policeman is enough to have you locked up here for as long as four years.
Tang Hui, a former inmate, guides us closer to the huge camp gate. Her incarceration here last year caused outrage in China.
"It was living nightmare. A real nightmare would have been better. I could have woken up from that," she says, dissolving into tears.
Her ordeal began in 2006 when her 10-year-old daughter disappeared from home. Unbeknown to Tang Hui, the girl had been raped and then lured to a local karaoke centre by a man she'd met. There she was gang raped again by four men, beaten and forced to work as a prostitute.
Local police did little to track down the missing girl, saying she'd probably run away from home. Tang Hui didn't give up and, after three months searching her hometown of Yongzhou, discovered where her daughter was being held. Only then did the authorities act, freeing the girl and arresting her captors.
Tang Hui campaigned vigorously for the death penalty for the men who did it. But she says the pimps had powerful connections in the police force, and the bad publicity the case brought may have tarnished the careers of local officials.
So those same police and officials had Tang Hui sent to Zhuzhou Baimalong camp to undergo 18 months of re-education. She says it was an act of revenge to silence her. Her re-education meant being told she must obey whatever the Communist Party says.
"I felt desperate, but I didn't shed a single tear, because I knew they were monitoring me all the time," she says.
"They wanted me to break down. They told me: 'If you promise to drop your case you can leave this place early.' I told them I would never write such a promise."
Like all of those sent to labour camps Tang Hui went through no legal process. There was just a written order and she was shut away. Her lawyers used the internet to spread word of her incarceration. It caused uproar and she was released after nine days.
"After my re-education I realised my mistake," she says.
"I'd pursued justice for my daughter because I thought the Communist Party was there for me. I thought the government and police would back me up. But I don't believe that any more. They've treated me like an enemy. They attack us instead of protecting us."
China's re-education through labour system was set up in the 1950s to silence political opponents. Today it's used to lock up undesirables like drug addicts and prostitutes, along with those like Tang Hui who complain too loudly about injustices, or people who are members of religious movements banned by the Communist Party.
Beijing lawyer Pu Zhiqiang says the whole system goes against China's own constitution and the rights its citizens should enjoy.
"Re-education through labour is illegal and wrong," he says. "People have their freedom taken away without any court case. They can't even appeal the decision until after they've served their time. It's a sign that China remains a police state. Not a country with the rule of law."
China's new leaders, aware the system is deeply unpopular, have indicated they are considering reforming it.
New Premier Li Keqiang, in his first news conference on Sunday, said authorities were "working intensively" on the plan to reform the system, and the plan "might be unveiled before the end of the year".
Some had expected reforms might come sooner. Many believe the police are resisting change, unwilling to give up the enormous powers they enjoy.
So Xi Jinping and China's new government could tinker with the system and leave parts of it intact, or they could opt for more far-reaching reforms. A bolder course may signal that limiting the powers of officials and police and beginning to strengthen the rule of law is a priority for the new leadership.
However, any reform will not affect the far bigger system of prison labour camps, estimated to hold millions.
In some places camps under the laojiao system are already being wound down, albeit slowly. In Yunnan in south-western China several former camps now hold only drug addicts. Dressed in identical uniforms, the addicts, undergoing detoxification treatments, march in squads. In the workshops they sit in ranks at tables making small electrical components.
Four years ago there were 160,000 inmates in the re-education system, according to official government statistics. By last year the number was down to 50,000 being held in 350 labour camps.
Many ordinary Chinese hate the system and want to see it scrapped in its entirety. One of them is Li Zhengtian, a well-known artist, philosopher and musician. He was sent for re-education in a coal mine in the 1970s. His crime? Drawing "big character posters" calling for the rule of law. He says today's China still urgently needs the rule of law.
"I refused to bow my head in submission, so they hit me, again and again," he says.
"I lay in a pool of my own blood for more than three hours. We must abolish it as soon as possible. The law should protect people's rights."
And Tang Hui, who was locked up for seeking justice for her daughter, is adamant, the camps must close for good if China is to build a just and fair society.
"Our leaders talk about social harmony, but there can be no harmony as long as the labour camp system exists," she says.
"It's brought too much pain. The only thing that stopped me from committing suicide in there was thinking about how I could get my revenge on those who sent me to the camp."
For now, at Zhuzhou and dozens of similar camps, life goes on in China's hated gulags. But the pressure for change is growing, and after Tang Hui's incarceration even China's official media have joined the chorus, saying it's time the system was "swept into the dustbin of history".

After being challenged at Southwell Minster, the archbishop said: "Mr Tatchell, I have said that actually, at this particular point in time, while there is a legal case pending, anybody, you better than most would know, that actually I can't comment. Silence is the best articulation."
Mr Tatchell told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: "He can't perhaps comment about the individuality of that particular case, but he certainly could comment on the principle, which is that he has, in the past, supported legal discrimination against gay people.
"In particular, he opposed same-sex civil marriage in registry offices. And that's got nothing to do with the church. It's a civil ceremony. That's what Jeremy and Laurence [Mr Pemberton's husband] undertook."
The Archbishop of York was challenged as he arrived at Southwell Minster to officially re-open the Archbishop's Palace.
Mr Pemberton did not want to comment because of the tribunal.

Professor Andrew Pipe has left his role as chairman of the body's doping control review board, as have two other members of the eight-strong panel.
Seven swimmers competed despite bans from the board for doping violations.
Fina said it gave the advice to the International Olympic Committee and the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The federation added it was not responsible for the final outcome.
Those banned by the board included Yulia Efimova, one of 37 Russian swimmers at Rio, who won two silver medals in the women's 100m and 200m breaststroke events.
She was banned initially by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) because of two failed drug tests.
Each sport's governing body had to determine whether Russian athletes linked with past doping offences or state-sponsored doping were eligible for Rio 2016, after the IOC decided against a blanket ban in the wake of a World Anti-Doping Agency investigation.
Pipe, the chairman of Fina's independent doping control review board (DCRB),and two of his colleagues stepped down this week.
In a letter to the governing body, the experts added that "the failure of Fina to enact other recommendations that the DCRB has made in the past, is incompatible with our dedication to clean sport and optimal anti-doping practice."
Fina president Dr Julio C Maglione said: "Fina always co-ordinates with all stakeholders in the sport movement to assure that transparency and zero tolerance in the fight against doping is in place, thus protecting the clean athletes.
"Please rest assured that we will continue the same policy in fighting against doping without any limitation, equally applying the doping control rules to all athletes and all Fina Member Federations."
Leicester City's King, 25, was sent off for a foul on Constantinos Makridis in Wales' 2-1 win against Cyprus.
The ban means King will miss the 16 November trip to Brussels and the match in Israel on 28 March, 2015.
The Football Association of Wales forwarded evidence of King's previous good behaviour in mitigation.
Wales boss Chris Coleman defended King following the midfielder's dismissal early in the second half of the game at Cardiff City Stadium.
"I'm disappointed for Kingy and it's not really his fault," Coleman said at the time.
"The timing was wrong and he had a red but that's probably down to myself and the staff.
"We've been firing the lads up the last two games. We've been into the lads all week saying 'whatever they give to us, we give to them'.
"I can't blame Andy for that. "
King's dismissal came during a game in which nine players were booked by German referee Manuel Graf, including five Cypriots.
Coleman insisted he had no complaints about the Cypriots' treatment of Gareth Bale, who received several challenges that left him writhing on the floor.
But the Wales boss was frustrated that the referee failed to protect the Real Madrid winger.
"I'm disappointed with the official," Coleman added.
"The red card was a heavy challenge but if he sends one of ours off surely he can send one or two of theirs off because they weren't shy either.
"Cyprus have got to do what they think is right to win the game, but the referee's there for a reason - to make a decision.
"When we play opposition in their back yard, their star players get rewards, they get free-kicks - but it doesn't happen for us."
Coleman's side appeared to be coasting as goals from David Cotterill and Hal Robson-Kanu gave them an early 2-0 lead.
But a goal from Vincent Laban and King's red card set up a nervous second half.
"We probably [wouldn't have won] that game in the last campaign. We didn't have that same togetherness then," Coleman said.
"The players were absolutely magnificent. We've only had one defeat in eight games and we've not lost here for a year.
"People have questioned the players' team spirit and [whether they] want to play for Wales, but I don't think I have to answer that any more. As a nation, we can't ask for any more."
The crash, on the A325 near Farnham on Wednesday evening, involved a motorcycle, a female pedestrian and a car which failed to stop at the scene.
The 43-year-old woman, from Surrey, suffered serious injuries and died on the way to hospital.
Police are appealing for help in tracing a dark-coloured people carrier-style car which may have front-end damage.
The crash happened near the junction of Binstead Road in Alice Holt Forest at about 17:25 GMT.
The motorcyclist suffered minor injuries.
The road was closed for several hours while investigators inspected the scene.
Sgt Rik Grant, of Hampshire Constabulary's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "We are following several lines of inquiries to find this vehicle and we would urge anyone who has information about the car or who was driving it to come forward."
The company, which makes coyote fur-lined jackets, some of which sell for £900 each, has started trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as well as on Canada's main exchange.
In early trading, shares were more than 40% higher at $18.14.
Founded in Toronto 60 years ago, the company was bought by the private equity group Bain Capital in 2013.
The firm had priced its initial public offering at $12.78 per share.
It raised $256m (£207m) from the share sale which will go towards paying down debt.
The company started off making woollen vests, raincoats and snowmobile suits before moving into Arctic and mountain expedition coats and more recently, luxury jackets.
Animal rights protestors from Peta staged a demonstration outside the New York stock exchange. The group, which objects to its use of coyote fur, plans to buy shares in the company so that it can attend shareholder meetings and influence its policy.
But the company says its fur comes from regulated trappers and not fur farms, while its down "only comes as a by-product from the poultry industry and has not come from live-plucked or force-fed birds".
One investor, who did not buy the shares, cautioned about the company's growth prospects.
"It is a very niche product at the high end of the retail market, and the retail market is under pressure overall," said Bryden Teich, from Avenue Investment Management.
"In light of an over-indebted Canadian consumer, a really tough retail environment, I have a hard time seeing how it becomes a big growth story."
Builder Stephen Muncaster, 47, was found dead in the front garden of a property in Magdalen, near King's Lynn, on 12 July.
His wife Allison, 48, was found inside the house.
Assistant coroner Johanna Thompson, at Norfolk Coroner's Court, said they died from gunshot wounds to the head.
At the hearings in Norwich, she said she requested forensic officers to identify their bodies by using DNA evidence.
She said: "Mrs Muncaster was found at her home property by police, having suffered what appeared to be a gunshot injury to the head.
"A post-mortem report confirmed the cause as being due to a shotgun wound to the head.
"Mr Muncaster was found in the front garden of the property, having suffered what appeared to be a gunshot injury to the head."
She added that a post-mortem report confirmed that as the cause of his death.
As previously reported, shots had been heard and a gun was found at the scene.
Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
Mr Muncaster was the uncle of so-called "Lotto lout" Michael Carroll, who made headlines in 2002 by winning £9.7m in the National Lottery.
The former binman blew all of his winnings before taking a job in a biscuit factory.
Ms Thompson adjourned the hearings for a full inquest on 5 January 2017 at Norfolk Coroner's Court.
Some nurseries say they are facing hikes of more than 100% in April following the national revaluation.
Linda Pirie, who owns three nurseries in Aberdeenshire, said her clients faced a 15% rise in fees.
The Scottish government said there was a relief package and it was up to local authorities to address local issues.
Mrs Pirie told BBC Scotland: "I think some people will go out of business.
"I think if we have to put up fees by what we need, we are going to lose clients."
Why are business rates causing concern?
Business rates - what do they pay?
A Scottish government spokesman said: "The Scottish government had already acted to cut the poundage by 3.7%, take 8,000 businesses out of the Large Business Supplement and extend the Small Business Bonus scheme, an overall tax cut worth £155m next year, to help those who might be impacted by a revaluation."
He added: "From April, more than half of businesses will pay no rates and seven out of 10 will pay the same or less.
"The total updated rates relief package is now worth over £660m, including the additional support for key sectors of hospitality and renewables nationwide and those with offices in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, and councils are empowered to apply further reductions to address any local issues as they see fit.
"Any business that is concerned about its valuation should contact the assessor and discuss how they worked out the provisional value. Companies have until September to appeal and we would encourage firms to take up those opportunities."
Rateable values are changing for the first time since 2010 after a national revaluation by The Scottish Assessors' Association.
While the Premiership leaders dominated the first half, home goalkeeper Craig Gordon was fortunate to escape with a yellow card for a foul on Greig Spence.
Kieran Tierney fired against the Alloa bar, while keeper Neil Parry made some fine stops for the League One leaders.
James Forrest struck with seven minutes left and Moussa Dembele fired a second.
It was a laboured victory for Brendan Rodgers' team, but pressure told and they join city neighbours Rangers and Greenock Morton in the last four, with the last quarter-final taking place on Thursday between Aberdeen and St Johnstone.
A determined defensive display by Alloa was finally undone, but the plaudits will go to Jack Ross's side.
As was expected, Celtic dominated the early period and could even have gone in front within the first minute if it hadn't been for Parry smothering Tom Rogic's first-time shot.
Dembele and Tierney both drew excellent saves from the Alloa goalkeeper and it was all Celtic until Spence speculated with a 25-yard strike on the counter-attack and Gordon, back in the Celtic goal in place of Dorus de Vries, did well to push away the striker's effort.
That was a rare venture forward for Alloa as the Premiership leaders continued to probe and create but met a wall of black and gold producing competent last-ditch defending.
Tierney rattled the crossbar with a volley from wide on the left, while Rogic and Forrest went close from range.
Gordon was punished with a yellow card after a kung fu-style tackle that floored Spence just outside the Celtic penalty box.
And, having withstood all Celtic's pressure, Alloa ended the first half by going close when Ben Gordon rose highest to head a free kick towards the top corner, only for his namesake in the Celtic goal to make a fine save.
Celtic manager Rodgers decided a change was required and introduced Scott Sinclair at the interval for Patrick Roberts.
However, the former Aston Villa winger encountered the same misfortune in front of goal with his first couple of efforts.
It continued to be a procession towards Parry's goal, but the part-timers maintained their stubborn stance.
Scott Brown, Stuart Armstrong, Tierney and Rogic all had efforts off target before a competition developed between Forrest and Parry.
The Alloa goalkeeper made two inspired saves from the Celtic winger, but he could do nothing to stop the Scotland winger opening the scoring with a low left-foot strike into the bottom corner from 17 yards.
Alloa's dream of reaching their first national cup semi-final was truly extinguished when Dembele, with a brilliant solo goal, added the killer second goal in the last minute.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "They [Alloa] defended very, very well. They made it very, very difficult. Big applause to them.
"We weren't clinical enough. We kept going. We got there in the end, we got the job done. Our objective was to qualify for the semi-final and we're into the semi-final, and [with] a clean sheet, which is important.
"You have to be patient. Credit to both teams - for my team for sticking at it and for Alloa, who came and put up a great performance."
Alloa Athletic manager Jack Ross: "Neil Parry had an excellent game. We did what several Premiership teams have not done at Parkhead this season - we contained them for long spells.
"They [Celtic] are a very good team. We had to be incredibly resilient.
"I've not too many complaints about the overall outcome of the game but I would always argue that my players deserve something from it. I thought they were terrific.
"It's not a particularly clever challenge from Craig [Gordon] that results in only a yellow card. These are things that maybe didn't quite go our way but there's a lot of things that Celtic would complain didn't go their way."

He would oversee the re-election of Scotland's 41 Labour MPs, he would win a seat at the 2016 Holyrood election and he would become the next first minister of Scotland.
But the plan has not worked out.
At last week's general election, Mr Murphy was one of the defeated candidates as Labour lost 40 Westminster seats to the Scottish National Party.
He survived a vote of no confidence from the party's national executive - but then announced he would resign next month anyway.
It was all so different on 13 December when a delighted Mr Murphy was made leader of Labour in Scotland, beating rivals Neil Findlay and Sarah Boyack with 55.77% of the vote.
He spoke about uniting his party, of creating a Scotland based on social justice, and of ending poverty and inequality.
Mr Murphy had the winner's CV - he had been involved in Labour politics for more than two decades and against the odds he had won the safe Tory seat of Eastwood at the 1997 general election.
He had remained MP for the constituency after it underwent boundary changes in 2005 and was renamed Renfrewshire East.
During his time at Westminster, the father-of-three had clocked up years of ministerial experience including being:
The keen runner and vegetarian was born in 1967 in Glasgow and raised in a housing scheme on the city's south side, but at the age of 12 he emigrated with his family to South Africa.
Mr Murphy returned to Scotland in the 1980s in order, as he said later, to avoid having to serve in the South African army.
His involvement in student politics culminated in a two-year presidency of NUS UK, beginning in 1994.
During his time at the helm, the union dropped its opposition to the abolition of student grants, which was in line with Labour Party policy.
However, it was something Blairite Mr Murphy has never been allowed to forget.
Outside politics, the Celtic fan hit the headlines when he helped survivors after a police helicopter crashed onto the Clutha pub in Glasgow in November 2013.
The former MP was in the area at the time of the crash and said he ran into the pub to help before emergency services arrived.
Interviewed at the scene by the BBC, he said: "Like other people, you just do what you can to help."
Even before there was a vacancy to replace Scottish Labour incumbent Johann Lamont, party people and media alike were talking about Mr Murphy as a future leader.
That speculation was put to the test when Ms Lamont resigned with immediate effect a few weeks after the referendum.
Despite Labour being on the winning side of the Scottish independence vote, there was discontent with Ms Lamont and, as she put it at the time, senior party members had "questioned my role in this new phase" of Scottish politics.
As soon as the Glasgow MSP was gone, Mr Murphy was seen by many as the front-runner to replace her, with one figure saying: "If Jim doesn't stand it will be a disaster."
The politician did not shy away from the tough referendum campaign, touring 100 towns in 100 days to deliver the "No" message.
It was not 100 consecutive days, as it was suspended for 72 hours, after Mr Murphy was hit by eggs while campaigning in Kirkcaldy, Fife.
He blamed "co-ordinated abuse" from "Yes" backers, although the Yes Scotland campaign said it condemned "all forms" of abusive behaviour.
While Mr Murphy's brand of street politics earned him much praise it also marked him out as a divisive figure on the campaign trail.
His mission at the start of his leadership was to unite his party, not to divide it.
However, just half a year later, as Mr Murphy stood in a hotel in Glasgow announcing his resignation, he said that he felt divisions in the party would continue if he remained as leader.
Turkey has said it arrested and deported Brahim el-Bakraoui last June, warning Belgium he was a "foreign fighter" - but was "ignored".
The Belgian interior and justice ministers said they had offered to resign over this but added that the prime minister refused to let them.
Tuesday's suicide attacks in Brussels killed 31 people and wounded some 300.
They have been claimed by so-called Islamic State.
In separate developments on Thursday:
Why Brussels warning signs were missed
From Paris to Brussels: Why the attacks are linked
What we know so far
Why was Brussels attacked?
Victims and survivors
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that one of the Brussels attackers had been caught near Turkey's border with Syria in June 2015, and was deported, at his request, to the Netherlands.
Mr Erdogan said Turkey alerted both the Belgian and Dutch authorities, but "despite our warnings that this person was a foreign terrorist fighter, the Belgian authorities could not identify a link to terrorism".
Turkish officials later confirmed he had been talking about Brahim el-Bakraoui.
Dutch Justice Minister Ard Van der Steur on Thursday confirmed that Bakraoui had arrived from Turkey on 14 July 2015, but said he had a valid Belgian passport, was not on any wanted lists and so the Dutch authorities had no reason to detain him.
Belgian Justice Minister Koen Geens said he had been made aware of the deportation but told public broadcaster VRT: "At that time, he was not known here for terrorism. He was a common law criminal out on parole."
Interior Minister Jan Jambon said he understood why there were questions to be answered over why "we missed the chance to seize him when he was in Turkey".
"In the circumstances it was right to take political responsibility and I offered my resignation to the prime minister," Mr Jambon said.
But he added: "The prime minister and the inner cabinet requested clearly this morning that I stay on, given the current situation, that in a war situation you cannot leave the field."
Brahim el-Bakraoui is one of three men - pictured in the middle on a CCTV image of them - who carried out the bombings at Zaventem airport that killed 11 people.
Unconfirmed reports say another of the airport attackers was the wanted jihadist Najim Laachraoui, whose DNA was found on explosives linked to last year's attacks in Paris. The third suspected airport attacker has not been identified yet and is on the run.
Bakraoui's brother Khalid struck at Maelbeek metro station, where 20 people died.
There are reports of a second suspect being sought for that attack. One source told AFP news agency that a man with a large bag had been seen beside Khalid el-Bakraoui on surveillance footage at the metro station.
Meanwhile, VRT reports that investigators are working on the assumption that the cell had been planning a far bigger attack, involving Paris-style shootings as well as suicide bombings.
Link are emerging with Salah Abdeslam, a suspect in last November's Paris attacks in which 130 people died.
Abdeslam was arrested and wounded in a police raid on a flat in the Forest area of Brussels last Friday - four days before the attacks in the Belgian capital.
On Thursday, his lawyer said he had changed his mind and would not fight extradition from Belgium to France.
Abdeslam, a 26-year-old French national born in Belgium, did not have prior knowledge of the Brussels bombings and had stopped co-operating with police following the attacks, his lawyer Sven Mary said.
A court hearing on Thursday on the detention of Abdeslam and two other suspects has been postponed until 7 April.
The director of the EU's police agency, Europol, has told the BBC the network of jihadists in Europe is "more extensive than perhaps we first feared".
Robin Wainwright said there were concerns over "a community of 5,000 suspects that have been radicalised in Europe, that have travelled to Syria and Iraq for conflict experience, some of whom - not all - have since come back to Europe".
Retiring a number is a mark of respect and means no player from that team will wear 55 in the future.
The 7ft 2in (2.18m) tall Democratic Republic of Congo player was discovered when he was studying at Georgetown University.
He was named an NBA All Star eight times before retiring in 2001.
He was also named defensive player of the year four times.
"I would have never thought that one day a son of the Congo would be here having his jersey retired," Mutombo said at the ceremony which was held during half time at the match between the Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics game on Tuesday.
In retirement, he plans to carry on his humanitarian work, which has included funding a new hospital in DR Congo's capital Kinshasa.
The group of firms funnelled hundreds of millions of dollars in profits through Luxembourg subsidiaries, according to leaked documents.
Disney said the arrangement had "not meaningfully affected the taxes we pay".
Microsoft, which owns Skype, said it "adheres carefully" to laws.
The European Commission is already conducting an inquiry into a number of companies' tax arrangements, including online retail giant Amazon and carmaker Fiat.
Commission chief and Luxembourg ex-prime minister Jean-Claude Juncker "remains committed to the fight against tax evasion and to his presidency," a Commission spokesperson said.
Mr Juncker has previously denied allegations he encouraged tax avoidance in Luxembourg.
Fresh additions to the thousands of so-called Luxleaks documents were published on Wednesday in a report by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
Mr Juncker told French daily newspaper Liberation that he had been "weakened" by Luxleaks.
"Objectively, I have been weakened, because Luxleaks suggests that I participated in manoeuvres that don't meet elementary rules of ethics and morality," he said.
In November the Commission president faced a vote of no confidence over Luxembourg tax schemes, which he survived.
Documents relating to 35 new companies including Disney, Koch Industries, Skype and Hutchison Whampoa were added to data on hundreds of firms on Wednesday.
The deals in Luxembourg could have delivered huge tax savings, ICIJ said.
In some cases, companies enjoyed tax rates of less than 1% on profits moved into the country.
Disney established an inter-company bank in Luxembourg which then extended high-interest loans to operating affiliates in countries such as France, reducing their taxable income, the ICIJ said.
Disney said: "The report is deliberately misleading, Disney's global tax rate has averaged 34% over the last five years. The ruling has not meaningfully affected the taxes we pay in any jurisdiction globally."
Microsoft said: "Microsoft's acquisition of Skype was finalised in October 2011, so we can only speak to activities after that date. Post-acquisition, we reviewed and modified Skype's business model as part of the integration process.
"As a global business, Microsoft adheres carefully to the laws and regulations of every country in which we operate."
Koch said: "Koch companies conduct their business lawfully and they pay taxes in accordance with applicable laws."
Luxleaks has now included documents prepared by all of the Big Four accountancy firms: PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), EY, Deloitte and KPMG.
EY said that it "safeguards confidential client information" and provides "tax advice to clients in accordance with national and international law".
"Professional standards, as well as privacy laws, require that EY safeguards confidential client information.
"We take these obligations very seriously and fully investigate any breach of confidentiality.
"Client confidentiality means that we are unable to comment on individual cases."
At the beginning of December, PwC said: "The media reports on tax advice provided by PwC in Luxembourg and co-ordinated by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) are based on partial, incomplete information, which was illegally obtained."
"All our advice and assistance is given in accordance with applicable local, European and international tax laws and agreements," it added.
Deloitte said: "We are bound by and work in accordance with the complex laws and regulations created by governments as we assist our clients in effectively managing their tax affairs.
"We also apply a strict code of conduct that ensures ethical safeguards in the work we do for our clients.
"Most EU member states, including Luxembourg, make it possible to obtain an advanced analysis, by tax authorities, of specific contemplated tax transactions to provide legal certainty and predictability for both the taxpayer and the state through confirmation of the application of existing national and international tax laws.
"Professional standards preclude us from commenting on client matters."
KPMG said: "KPMG International has a comprehensive, robust and publicly available global code of conduct setting the standards of ethical conduct for everyone at KPMG member firms.
Tax professionals are also subject to KPMG's global tax principles, which set out additional fundamental ethical principles and behaviours.
The code and principles clearly state that we should act lawfully and with integrity and expect the same from our people, clients and other parties with whom we work."
They attached an $8 (£5) ball lens to the handset camera lens, and used a cheap torch and double-sided tape to create an improvised microscope.
Pictures were then taken of stool samples placed on lab slides, wrapped in cellophane and taped to the phone.
They were studied for the presence of eggs, the main sign of the presence of the parasites.
When the results were double-checked with a laboratory light microscope, the device had managed to pick up 70% of the samples with infections present - and 90% of the heavier infections.
The study has been published this week in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
Researcher Dr Isaac Bogoch, who specialises in internal medicine and infectious diseases at Toronto General Hospital, told the BBC he had read about smartphone microscopes being trialled in a laboratory and decided to "recreate it in a real world setting".
"Ultimately we'd like something like this to be a useful diagnostic test. We want to put it in the hands of someone who might be able to use it," he said.
"70% (accuracy) isn't really good enough, we want to be above 80% and we're not quite there yet," he added.
"The technology is out there. We want to use materials that are affordable and easy to procure."
Dr Bogoch and his team, which included experts from Massachusetts General Hospital and the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, said the only reason he used an Apple iPhone was because it was his own handset.
"You need the ball lens to help with the magnification - but any mobile phone with a decent camera and a zoom function will be sufficient," he explained.
The smallest eggs visible using the smartphone were 40-60 micrometres in diameter.
"From an egg standpoint that is not tiny but it's not enormous either," said Dr Bogoch.
"The microscope was very good at diagnosing children with heavier infection intensities as there are more eggs, so they are easier to see."
Intestinal worms are estimated to affect up to two billion people around the world, mainly in poor areas.
"These parasitic infections cause malnutrition, stunted growth, and stunted mental development," added Dr Bogoch.
"It's a big deal, a big problem."
McMahon, 31, has opted out because of time constraints and fitness issues.
Dermot Carlin is thought to have pulled out for similar reasons but the duo could return later in the season.
Coney is understood to have quit the squad while Mark Donnelly, Plunkett Kane and Kevin Gallagher are thought to have been dropped from the panel.
Manager Mickey Harte was expected to reduce his extended squad following the McKenna Cup campaign and Donnelly, Kane and Gallagher appear to be the principal casualties.
Coney was substituted at half-time in Saturday's McKenna Cup final win over Cavan as was Coalisland man Kane.
McMahon, who won All-Ireland medals with Tyrone in 2005 and 2008, was also replaced at the interval in the McKenna Cup final after making his first appearance of the season in the semi-final win over Armagh.
Omagh St Enda's player McMahon recently became a father for the second time and he is also currently undertaking a teacher training qualification at the University of Ulster, Coleraine.
McMahon was severely affected by injury in 2014 but it is thought there could be a road back for him and Carlin into the Red Hand squad later in the year.
Carrickmore player Donnelly started the McKenna Cup decider but was replaced in the second half by Peter Harte.
After a tremendous underage career, Coney spent a short stint Down Under playing Australian Rules before opting to return home.
However, the Ardboe player has struggled for consistency in the Red Hand senior jersey.
Defender Carlin's 2014 campaign was badly hindered by injury and he did not figure in this month's McKenna Cup.
Tyrone face Monaghan in their Football League Division 1 opener against Monaghan on Saturday night [19:00 GMT].
The routes will connect the Greater Manchester town's centre with surrounding residential areas.
Wigan Borough Council has been awarded a grant from the Department for Transport for the scheme.
The plans will be on show during a drop-in session on 18 July, so people in the town can offer feedback on the project before work begins later this year.
The drop-in session will be held at Newtown Working Men's Club in Anson Street between 14.00 and 19.00 BST.
The routes will be added to parts of Robin Park Road, Warrington Road, the Wallgate/Queen Street junction, Saddle junction and Pemberton cycleway.
The work is expected to be completed by summer 2018.
Councillor David Molyneux, cabinet member for regeneration, said: "These routes inbound to Wigan town centre are flat and short in distance, making them perfect for commuters who live close by.
"The plans are still in their design stages so I'd encourage people, whether you're a keen cyclist or not, to have a look at the routes and tell us what you think."
Gaby Zakuani nodded Erhun Oztumer's corner home to take the lead, before Oztumer then tapped in a second.

Lawyers for the child claim the picture was blackmailed from her and repeatedly published online as a form of revenge.
The girl is taking legal action against Facebook and the man who posted the photo in what is believed to be the first case of its kind in the world.
A judge in Belfast refused Facebook's bid to end proceedings.
The case will now advance to full trial at a later date.
The girl's photograph was said to have been posted on a so-called "shame" page on Facebook several times between November 2014 and January 2016.
A lawyer for the teenager likened it to a method of child abuse.
It was contended that Facebook had the power to block any republication by using a DNA process to identify the image.
The court heard it should have been a "red-line" issue for the company.
The girl, who cannot be identified, is seeking damages for misuse of private information, negligence and breach of the Data Protection Act.
A lawyer for Facebook argued the claim for damages should be dismissed, saying the company always took down the picture when it was notified.
Facebook's lawyers relied on a European directive, claiming it provides protection from having to monitor a vast amount of online material for what is posted on one page.
They claim the ban on Khat, popular in Cardiff's Somali and Yemeni communities, has had little effect - but community leaders disagree.
Khat, grown in parts of Africa, has been chewed for centuries in the Horn of Africa and Arabian Peninsula.
It was classified as a Class C drug and penalties for possession with intent to supply can be up to 14 years.
The leaves are chewed over several hours and have a stimulatory effect.
Many from the Somali and Yemeni communities across the UK continued the tradition, including those in the Butetown and Grangetown areas of Cardiff.
It led to concerns about the impact of Khat on the health of users, and on social cohesion and family life.
Users in Butetown told BBC Radio Wales' Eye On Wales programme since the ban more than two years ago, Khat "has just gone underground like any other illegal drug".
"It's everywhere," one person told reporters.
Another user told the programme the price had increased from £3 to £10 a bunch, and that it is now being sold dried.
Khat is most effective when it is fresh and within a few days of being picked. Prior to the ban, it was flown into airports across the UK and then transported by road to cities with substantial Yemeni and Somali populations.
According to researchers studying the Khat ban at the University of Hertfordshire, seizures of the plant in England and Wales have continued to rise - from 299 in 2015-16 up to 510 so far this year - amounting to over 11,500 kilos of Khat in 2015-16.
Community development worker Saeed Ebrahim said: "The ban has been excellent. Families are working together and men have gone back to work.
"However, services should have followed for those left in limbo… there's a huge gap that needs to be filled."
Det Chf Insp Dan Howe of South Wales Police said that there had only been four incidents of Khat possession in the police force area since the ban.
He said: "What we saw prior to the ban is that Khat was a factor in a lot of antisocial behaviour reports within the Cardiff Bay area.
"People would chew Khat in public places for several hours and that would lead to people loitering and depositing litter. Since the ban we've seen far fewer of those incidents reported."

The man, 71, was injured at about 21:25 BST outside Earl's Court Tube station on Friday night. He died in hospital.

The Scottish Building Federation's latest quarterly construction monitor saw confidence fall 22 points to -19.
It was the first negative overall confidence rating by employers since the second quarter of 2013.
SBF said employers were unsettled by the economic volatility seen following last week's vote to leave the EU.
There was also concern that investment decisions could be postponed indefinitely.
The federation's survey responses were collected during June, with firms being given the opportunity to update their confidence rating following the EU vote.
SBF managing director Vaughan Hart said: "The results of our latest quarterly survey reflect much of the informal feedback I have received from individual members.
"Construction employers are unsettled by the economic volatility we have witnessed following the vote to leave the European Union last week.
"General uncertainty about the economic outlook has prompted concern that investment decisions could be postponed indefinitely.
"The potential impact on interest rates also risks provoking a sustained slowdown of activity across different sectors of the property market."
He added: "If the current economic volatility is sustained over a longer period of time, the UK Treasury may be forced to take evasive action come the time of the autumn statement with a knock-on impact on the Scottish government's budget and on local government funding.
"There is also a more general concern that the process of negotiating the UK's withdrawal from the European Union could result in paralysis within government that means important priorities such as the delivery of more housing, the development of skills, training and apprenticeships and critical improvements to the country's infrastructure risk being sidelined."
Visitors to the free event have been told to check social media before visiting on Sunday evening.
The organiser, Artichoke, and the Met Police sent tweets on Saturday asking people to come on Sunday instead.
It is the first time the festival of lights, featuring installations from 30 artists, has been held in London.
The illuminated art has been placed in locations around the city including Piccadilly, Mayfair, King's Cross, Trafalgar Square and Westminster.
It will be lit up from 18:30 GMT to 22:30.
Advice on the festival will be tweeted using the hashtag #LumiereLDN.
People in St Dogmaels might also have low water pressure, Welsh Water said.
The company is using "ice pigging" to clean six miles (10km) of pipes in the next few weeks as part of its investment in the area's drinking water system.
The work involves injecting a pipe with "slushy ice" to pick up any debris.
Boss Ian Christie said: "With some parts of the water network laid over a century ago, the time has come for us to undertake some essential work to cleanse the pipes."
Aged 38, the oldest player on the field marked his 300th one-day international with his 18th century to help the hosts to 302-6 in the final match in Colombo.
Dinesh Chandimal struck 55 not out and Thisara Perera flayed 54 off 26 balls.
Although Joe Root made 80 despite an ankle injury, England were bowled out for 215 with 4.1 overs unused.
The tourists never threatened to overhaul an imposing target, allowing Sri Lanka legends Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara to savour a comfortable victory in their final ODI on home soil.
Defeat was England's 11th in their last 15 completed ODIs, and leaves them palpably short of form and confidence with a maximum of five competitive matches - a triangular series against hosts Australia and India - before the World Cup starts in February.
The squad for the tri-series will be named on Saturday, but England's performances in Sri Lanka have done little to make the selectors' task easier.
Only twice in seven attempts did they pass 250, they were bowled out five times, they never fielded the same team two games in a row, and questions continue to be asked of captain Alastair Cook's place in the side.
"I would feel very wrong to walk away from it," Cook told Sky Sports. "If it's taken away from me, I'll feel very disappointed, but I certainly won't be giving it up."
Cook was dropped twice on Tuesday before he fell for 32, the third wicket in a top-order collapse to 78-5 from which England never recovered.
Moeen Ali was bowled first ball by off-spinner Dilshan, who had Alex Hales comfortably taken at long-on for seven.
After Cook edged Suranga Lakmal to slip, James Taylor gloved the seamer down the leg side and Eoin Morgan was lbw sweeping Dilshan.
Root, who turned his ankle while fielding, overcame obvious discomfort to take his tally for the series to 367 runs at an average of 73. Moeen was the only other batsman to score more than 185.
Root received fleeting assistance from Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes, who made 23 and 34 respectively, but the last four wickets tumbled for only 23 runs as England's tour ended on a sorry note.
Fittingly, Jayawardene and Sangakkara - the two greatest batsmen in Sri Lanka's history with 824 ODI caps between them - completed the rout when they combined to have James Tredwell stumped.
Root aside, no England batsman showed the application demonstrated by Dilshan after Sri Lanka chose to bat first on a pitch of little pace.
He struck nine fours and a straight six off 124 balls, and was largely content to play the supporting role in half-century stands with Jayawardene, Sangakkara and Chandimal.
Dilshan's departure in the 44th over - he swung a Chris Jordan full toss to deep mid-wicket - heralded the arrival of Perera, whose meaty half-century was central to Sri Lanka adding 93 in the last 10 overs.

Almost 50 designs from architects in the UK, France, Sweden, Germany and the United States were submitted as part of a competition.
Two finalists will be chosen and the winning design will be announced in September.
A planning application was submitted for the £100m development in January, but it will not be looked at by council planners until the autumn.
The 85-year-old has written to the Grand Prix Drivers' Association in response to its own open letter.
The letter, seen by BBC Sport, says: "It is not always easy to agree with you but you are correct.
"We must, as you have stated, urge the owners and all stakeholders of F1 to consider restructuring its governance."
Ecclestone has asked the drivers to come back to him with ideas about how to improve the situation.
"It is easy to analyse what is wrong. At least it is better to think before you wish," Ecclestone writes.
The drivers were not explicit about the detail of their concerns, but they said some recent decisions are "disruptive", avoid "the bigger issues" and "could jeopardise F1's success".
It is known that they are unhappy about recent gimmicky rule changes, with the fiasco over the adoption of elimination-style qualifying just the latest example.
The move towards pay TV is another concern - and their letter came on the day it was announced that F1 would no longer be shown on free-to-air TV in the UK from 2019 as a result of a new deal with Sky.
Among other issues, the drivers do not like the fact that the tyre supplier is chosen on financial grounds alone when many teams and drivers have misgiving about Pirelli.
But the focus of their concerns is believed to be the inability of the strategy group of leading teams, governing body the FIA and Ecclestone to come up with a clear plan for the future.
The strategy group was set up by Ecclestone in an attempt to give himself more power, but in the current decision-making process he has found it impossible to make change because he can be out-voted by the teams.
Ecclestone has complained that what he sees as the stranglehold of Mercedes and Ferrari on rule-making risks "destroying" F1.
Other insiders see decisions emanating from him - such as double points for the 2014 finale, changing qualifying and an attempt to impose last year a cheap alternative engine to race against the current turbo hybrids as the real problem.
Northern Ireland's deputy first minister was invited by the Flemish government to Flanders, where the Battle of Messines took place in 1917.
On Thursday, he will visit the Somme in France, where soldiers of the 36th (Ulster) and 16th (Irish) divisions fought together.
Mr McGuinness said his visit was "part of a journey towards reconciliation".
"I hope my visit here is seen as reaching out the hand of friendship to unionists, but also saying to unionists and to everybody else that many of the people who died here were as much part of what we [nationalists] as they were part of what they are," he said.
"If I am to be true to my desire to see peace and reconciliation, then visits like this are enormously important."
Mr McGuinness was accompanied to the Island of Ireland Peace Park at Messines by the party's vice-president Mary Lou MacDonald and its chairman Declan Kearney.
The Battle of the Somme began on 1 July 1916 and did not end until 18 November that year.
More than 3,500 soldiers from the 36th (Ulster) and 16th (Irish) divisions were killed and thousands more were injured.
The official centenary commemorations next month will be attended by First Minister Arlene Foster.
The Battle of Messines started on 7 June 1917, and more than 40,000 men lost their lives in the fighting. | An Australian man who asked politicians why he wasn't getting a tax cut has become a symbol for progressives and a target for conservatives, writes BBC Australia editor Shaun Davies.

Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness has laid a wreath at a World War One battlefield in Belgium. | 36,263,711 | 15,677 | 946 | true |
He told the BBC "rumours" that Bob Higgins may have abused young players in the 1980s had been "rife" for years.
The FA has appointed Clive Sheldon QC to lead its review into abuse.
Mr Higgins has denied all allegations and was acquitted of sexual abuse charges in 1992.
The BBC understands Mr Higgins left Southampton after concerns were raised about his behaviour, and a TV documentary then broadcast the testimony of eight alleged victims.
Mr Redknapp, who was manager of Southampton from 2004 to 2005 and who has also managed Portsmouth and Bournemouth on the south coast, said: "I've known him for a long time, he was probably the leading youth development guy in the country.
"But then the rumours were going around at that time and there was a programme I watched where this young guy spoke about Bob Higgins and the type of stuff he was doing with kids at Southampton and I thought that would be the end of him.
"I'm just amazed that he's been involved in football since that day."
Mr Redknapp said there "must have been people" at Southampton that had heard the rumours that Mr Higgins had sexually abused children.
"Southampton's a great football club, and it's run by fantastic people there now.
"They had a great manager, Lawrie McMenemy. If Lawrie had suspected anything I'm sure Lawrie would have well and truly booted him out.
"But until you can actually prove something or there's a bit of evidence, it's very difficult."
But "I certainly think the FA could have done a bit more to monitor him and make sure he wasn't allowed back into football," he said.
He said he had not sent his son Jamie to Southampton as a young player - but not because of rumours about Mr Higgins.
In 1997, police and social services sent a joint letter to schools and youth groups warning them that "Mr Higgins poses a risk to children".
Mr Redknapp said if he had received such a letter he would have had him "nowhere near" a football club he managed.
After Southampton, Mr Higgins was hired by Winchester City FC but was only there a few months.
At a meeting with Hampshire County Council and the local FA, Winchester representatives were shown the TV documentary that had aired a few years earlier and it was made clear it was inappropriate for Mr Higgins to stay at the club.
Ray Barnes, Hampshire FA chief for 25 years who was at the meeting, would later be convicted of indecently assaulting three boys in an unrelated incident.
After this Mr Higgins went on to work for two other clubs, most recently Fleet Town until three weeks ago, the BBC understands.
The Football League warned its clubs about Mr Higgins as far back as 1989.
A letter advised them not to work with his youth football academy but did not provide any reasons.
The letter said the Football League, Football Association and English Schools Football Association were "opposed to the activities of this organisation".
He was not police checked for the later football coaching job at Fleet Town FC in 2012 as his role did not involve him working with children.
Six former Southampton youth players have come forward with allegations about Mr Higgins. Hampshire police has confirmed it is investigating.
Mr Redknapp has urged other players to come forward with what they know.
The FA has yet to respond to the comments but has launched an internal review into historical abuse allegations.
In a statement, it said: "The FA has today published the full terms of reference for the review into issues arising from the recent press reports relating to allegations of non-recent child sexual abuse in football.
The review covers what was known and what actions were taken by the FA from the 1970s. The FA said the precise number of players, alleged abusers and clubs it would investigate was as yet unknown.
It has appointed Clive Sheldon QC to lead the review, replacing Kate Gallafent QC, who was originally appointed.
Southampton FC has said it is working with police and investigating how it has handled these issues in the past.
The BBC has made several attempts to speak to Mr Higgins without success.
Separately, a lawyer representing a new body supporting victims said "calls and emails are coming in all the time" from players claiming to have been forced to sign non-disclosure agreements with clubs in return for compensation.
"Certainly, the allegations have been made by victims that confidentiality clauses have been used in relation to other clubs but I'm not in a position to independently verify this," said Edward Smethurst, who also chairs the Madeleine McCann Fund.
"It's unfolding as we speak. It's a number. It's several (but) less than five."
The claims come after Chelsea FC apologised to former player Gary Johnson for the abuse he suffered as a trainee in the 1970s, having waived the confidentiality clause in a £50,000 agreement they made with him last year. | Former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp has said the Football Association could have done more to monitor an ex-Southampton coach accused of historical sexual abuse. | 38,218,377 | 1,126 | 34 | false |
They reached 11 under but trail world number four Jordan Spieth, who moved up from fifth with six birdies in his 67.
Phil Mickelson, one shot off the halfway lead, dropped six shots in his 75 and is six shots back in joint 18th.
US Ryder Cup player Patrick Reed had a hole-in-one with a five-iron at 16, the 20th ace on the PGA Tour this season.
Mickelson claimed a share of the lead after a birdie at his first hole but unravelled with some untidy play, registering a double bogey at the fifth.
"I didn't play well today," he said. "The last three bogeys hurt. I fought all day without really playing well to keep it at even par and then the last three holes got me."
Playing alongside the five-time major champion was qualifier Austin Cook, a 24-year-old from Arkansas.
He led the tournament before a double bogey at the 15th, but birdied 17 in a round of 70 and is one shot behind Spieth, who is hoping for a good performance before the Masters at Augusta, which starts on Thursday.
"Today was as comfortable as I've ever been with the lead on a weekend," Spieth said. "I wanted to get into contention as much as I could prior to the Masters, to have as much experience as I could to limit those nerves.
"Then I'll take even more confidence into next week."
Casey, 37, a three-time Ryder Cup veteran, won the KLM Open on the European Tour last year and was second at the Northern Trust Open in February.
The world number 48 had four birdies in five holes on his front nine.
Day, 27, who is ranked 1,045 and plays on the second-tier web.com Tour, did not drop a shot in round three and had four birdies on the back nine.
However, law firm Freshfields adds in the report it cannot "completely rule out" votes being bought as it was unable to speak to all those involved.
That includes Sepp Blatter, former president of world governing body Fifa.
The report was commissioned after it emerged the DFB made a secret payment of 6.7m euros (£4.6m) to Fifa in 2005.
Der Spiegel magazine alleges that money was used to buy votes, but the DFB said it was the return of a loan from former Adidas chief Robert Louis-Dreyfus.
Sports equipment maker Adidas, a long-time DFB sponsor, said it was unaware of any such payment.
Speaking at a news conference, Freshfields' Christian Duve said the payment had been made, but was not intended for the opening ceremony gala as was indicated in documents.
The report also identified a payment from then World Cup 2006 organising chief Franz Beckenbauer via a Swiss bank account to scaffolding company Kemco in Qatar, the owner of which was disgraced ex-Fifa official Mohamed Bin Hammam.
"They landed somewhere in Qatar, this is under the influence of Bin Hammam. But anything beyond that is speculation. We had the task of presenting the facts," said Duve, who added some documents were missing from DFB headquarters.
Blatter, 79, is suspended from football over a separate, wide-reaching corruption scandal but denies any wrongdoing.
Fifa said it would study Duve's report carefully and incorporate the results into its own investigation.
Mr Ghani received a warm reception from both Republicans and Democrats as he addressed both US legislative chambers.
He thanked the US for its military contribution to Afghanistan, its aid and its civilian assistance.
Hours before he spoke, a car bombing in Kabul that killed six people was a reminder of the ongoing security problems hampering the reconstruction.
"We owe a profound debt to the soldiers who have lost limbs to buried bombs, to the brave veterans, and to the families who tragically lost their loved ones to the enemy's cowardly acts of terror," he said.
Mr Ghani promised to be a trustworthy partner as his country tries to rebuild after a decade of war.
Despite the problems, his presidency is a welcome change for the White House, whose relationship with his predecessor Hamad Karzai grew increasingly strained in recent years.
A sign of that new trust was the White House announcement on Tuesday that the US will keep nearly 10,000 troops in Afghanistan to bolster security throughout 2015, delaying plans for a gradual withdrawal.
Originally, officials had planned to cut the US troop presence to 5,500 by the end of 2015.
Lawmakers from both parties welcomed the White House's troop announcement, despite some war weariness. The war has claimed 2,200 lives.
Mr Ghani warned that the so-called Islamic State represented a "clear and present danger" to Afghanistan and neighbouring countries.
"Terrorist movements whose goal is to de-stabilise every state in the region are looking for new bases of operation," Mr Ghani said.
"From the west, the IS militants are sending advance guards to southern and western Afghanistan."

The Briton, who had a first-round bye, was sluggish throughout the match against the Canadian world number 129.
Murray, 29, was broken four times as he struggled with Pospisil's serve-and-volley style.
It was the first victory for Pospisil, 26, in five meetings with Murray.
Although he is a qualifier here, Pospisil has been ranked as high as 25th in the world and beat both Kyle Edmund and Dan Evans in Britain's Davis Cup victory over Canada in February.
After Murray took a 4-2 lead early on, the Canadian hit back to win six successive games, claiming the first set before finally winning the second 7-5 in a tie-break, hitting a cross-court winner on his fourth match point.
"It was obviously a disappointing one as I had opportunities in the first set but I didn't serve well enough," Murray told BBC Sport.
"I served a few double faults, especially in the first set at important moments, which didn't help things.
"He definitely started to play better in the second set, he was being aggressive and coming to the net and played some great reflex volleys at important moments and deserved to win."
Murray claimed his maiden Dubai Championships title last week, but defeat here continues a poor run for the Scot at Indian Wells, having lost in the third round last year. His best result at the tournament was when he was runner-up to Rafael Nadal in 2009.
However, he remains in this year's doubles alongside fellow Briton Evans as they face Dutchman Jean-Julien Rojer and Romanian Horia Tecau in round two.
Pospisil plays Dusan Lajovic in the third round of the singles after the Serbian qualifier upset 30th seed Feliciano Lopez of Spain 6-2 4-6 7-6.
Elsewhere, French seventh seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was beaten by Italy's Fabio Fognini but there were wins for third seed Stan Wawrinka, 10th seed Gael Monfils and 11th seed David Goffin.
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller in Indian Wells
World number one or not, Murray has often struggled in the desert. His serve let him down - he hit seven double faults and was broken four times in a row - and was ultimately second best to a man who is having a great year against the Brits.
Pospisil may be a qualifier ranked 129 in the world but his serve-and-volley game is mightily effective, as Dan Evans and Kyle Edmund learned to their cost in last month's Davis Cup tie with Canada.
Unusually for Murray, he is now out of the singles but still in the doubles so he will stay in Indian Wells to partner Evans and to spend "lots of time" on the practice courts.
Gaskell, 26, started his career with St Helens before joining the Bulls in 2013.
"To be back in Super League is a great feeling and to be given this chance by the Giants is pleasing," he told the club website.
"I've had a short time here and it's good to get that training under my belt."
Mr Taseer was killed a week ago by one of his bodyguards for supporting proposed reforms to the blasphemy law.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said those supporting the killer were "the real blasphemers".
Meanwhile, the government has announced that Sardar Latif Khosa, a senior lawyer, will replace Mr Taseer.
Mr Khosa is a senior member of Mr Taseer's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and was a senator from 2003 to 2008.
He later served as attorney general but had to resign amid corruption allegations by the opposition and friction within the law ministry.
He also represented Ms Bhutto and her husband Asif Zardari in various corruption cases against them in the courts.
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says that Mr Khosa is a diehard PPP loyalist and a tough bargainer - and it remains to be seen how the PML-N party, which rules Punjab, will react to his appointment.
Mr Taseer was a staunch critic of the PML-N government and was never shy of expressing his views publicly.
Mr Bhutto Zardari, whose father is Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, railed against those who praised Governor Taseer's assassination as he addressed mourners at the Pakistan High Commission in London on Monday evening.
"Those who attack my religion, specially those who corrupt its peaceful message, you are what I call covert blasphemers and you will be defeated," he said, reports news agency AFP.
"This will be our jihad," he added.
Mr Bhutto Zardari assured Christians and other minorities in Pakistan that they would be protected.
"We will defend you. For those who wish to harm you for a crime you did not commit, they will have to go through me first," he said.
Mr Taseer's assassination last Tuesday has exposed the deep division within Pakistan's society.
At his first court appearance in Islamabad last week, the accused, Malik Mumtaz Hussein Qadri, was showered with rose petals by sympathisers, including a number of lawyers. He confessed to the murder in a Rawalpindi court appearance on Monday.
On Sunday up to 50,000 people held a rally in support of the blasphemy law in the city of Karachi.
Meanwhile, the Pope's statement calling for a repeal of the controversial law has drawn a strong reaction from the Islamists.
The Jamaat-i-Islami party's Liaquat Baloch said it was "open interference in Pakistan's internal and religious affairs".
"The Pope's statement is an open invitation for clash of civilisations and a bid to plunge the entire world into a deadly war," Pakistan's official news agency APP quoted Mr Baloch as saying.
The Pope made his remarks in a new year address to diplomats accredited to the Vatican.
Pakistan's blasphemy law returned to the spotlight in November when Christian woman Asia Bibi was sentenced to death for allegedly insulting the Prophet Muhammad. She denies the charge.
Mr Taseer angered hardline clerics by visiting her in jail and by supporting proposed reforms to the legislation.
His alleged assassin Qadri said he had been angered by Mr Taseer's stance over the blasphemy laws.
The much-travelled lower league defender, 33, the son of Chelsea legend David Webb, has been placed in charge until the end of the season.
He becomes the 10th man to take charge of the East London-based League Two club since the summer of 2014.
The struggling O's are at risk of relegation from the Football League.
Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Mansfield Town saw them drop into the relegation zone after a run of just two wins in nine games under Webb.
Edwards, 45, who had a two-game spell as caretaker manager when Andy Hessenthaler left in September, was himself put in charge until the end of the season after the sacking of Alberto Cavasin in November after a run of eight defeats in 10 games.
"It is with regret that I have made the decision to stand down as manager of Leyton Orient," said Edwards, "It has been a very difficult decision, but I feel that it is in the best interests of my career and my family.
Webb, who was appointed Orient first-team coach this summer, became assistant manager when Edwards was appointed on 23 November and now takes a further step-up, starting with next Saturday's home game against automatic promotion contenders Carlisle United.
Writing in the Times, Amber Rudd said officers using the powers "appropriately" had her "full support".
Theresa May curbed the use of the controversial tactic when she was home secretary amid concerns black people were being unfairly targeted.
Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott warned against "a return to the bad old days of discriminatory stops".
Ms Rudd - who is under pressure to tackle a rise in acid attacks - said stop and search powers had been "badly used" in the past.
"I want to be crystal clear - we have given the police the powers they need and officers who use stop and search appropriately, with reasonable grounds and in a targeted and intelligence-led way, will always have my full support," she writes in The Times.
"This includes using stop and search to confront the use of acid as an appalling weapon of violence."
In July, the Home Office said "indicative figures" from 39 police forces across England and Wales suggested there were over 400 attacks with acid or other corrosive substances in the six months to April 2017.
The commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick, also writing in the Times, described stop and search as "an extremely important power when properly used" and highlighted its use to combat knife crime in the capital, as well as the carrying of acid or drugs.
She wrote: "I will support my officers in the if the number of stop and searches rises in the fight against knife crime and street violence."
She added: "Stopping and searching should never define our relationship to young people of any community in London.
"For most of those I've met in recent weeks, including in some of the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods, fear of violence is the main concern."
The article followed an interview Ms Dick gave to the BBC's Asian Network, in which she rejected the "perception" that the police targeted people because of the colour of their skin.
For Labour, Ms Abbott said: "Labour supports evidence-based stop and search, not a return to the bad old days of discriminatory stops that focus on particular communities."
She added: "Police officers should be confident in doing their job, but the Tories have overseen a huge cut in police numbers. Simply granting police additional powers won't make up for that shortfall."
There were 387,448 uses of stop and search in England and Wales in 2015-16, down more than 150,000 on the previous year, following Theresa May's crackdown on the tactic.
Some 15% of stop and searches resulted in an arrest, compared with 10% at the time of the overhaul three years ago.
However, black people were still six times more likely to be stopped than white people.

It's 310 metres tall, and cost one-and-a-half billion pounds to build.
It'll have offices, restaurants and a hotel, as well as some seriously expensive flats - each costing about fifty million pounds.
There's still work to be done inside. The whole interior will be finished by next year.
Prime Minister David Cameron approved the appointment on Monday and MacGregor said he was the "perfect choice".
Dr Fischer, who will take up the post in Spring 2016, described the museum as "a model of public engagement, critical scholarship, and international outreach".
He is currently director general of the Dresden State Art Collections.
MacGregor, who steps down in December, said: "The museum, its staff, its trustees and its unparalleled collection is truly international. It therefore makes absolute sense for the new director to reflect this global outlook.
Although the British Museum conducted an international search for its new boss, in reality it was always going to more a pan-European trawl as the salary packages of museum directors in America tend have to have another nought on the end.
Choosing a non-Brit for a world museum will bring a fresh perspective, but it might be a bit of a culture shock for Hartwig Fischer. When his fellow countryman Martin Roth took over at the V&A he was dazed and confused by the meeting culture so beloved by our museums, not to mention the consensual management style expected by the curators.
He has plenty to do. Not least among the collection displays, which could do with a refresh and re-think - and to carry on the innovation Neil MacGregor started on integrating the museum's programme and assets with education programmes within the academic sector.
"Dr Fischer is a well-respected scholar with extensive experience. He will, I am sure, build on the British Museum's recent successes to ensure the museum remains one of the world's greatest museums."
The British Museum is the most popular visitor attraction in Britain, welcoming 6.7 million people in 2014.
Its last non-British head was the Italian-born Sir Anthony Panizzi, who held the post of principal librarian between 1856 and 1866.
Dr Fischer said he had visited the British Museum on many occasions "as a member of the public" and that it was "an honour" to be asked to run the institution.
"When I was growing up in Hamburg, Britain was always present in my family life. It has remained so ever since. I never dreamt that I would be invited to be responsible for this great British institution, and I am conscious that nobody could fail to grasp what the British Museum represents, not only for the UK but for the whole world."
He added that despite being "daunted by such a responsibility" he was aware that "nobody directs such a museum alone".
"The colleagues of the British Museum are admired and envied around the world. I am greatly looking forward to working with them," he said.
Dr Fischer began his museum career at the Kunstmuseum in Basel, where he was curator of 19th Century and modern art from 2001 to 2006.
He has never worked in Britain but did co-curate a 2006 exhibition of Wassily Kandinsky's work that was shown at Tate Modern in London. He studied History of Art, History and Classical Archaeology in Bonn, Berlin, Rome and Paris and holds a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Bonn.
Born in Hamburg in 1962, the 52-year-old speaks German, English, French and Italian and is married to Ilaria Piqueras Fischer, a psychoanalyst.
Paul Monk, 54, from Romford in Essex, is being questioned in connection with the alleged kidnapping and killing of Francis Brennan.
Mr Brennan's tortured body had washed up on La Zenia beach in Orihuela, Costa Blanca, in March last year.
He had fled to Alicante in October 2013 to avoid being sentenced for an assault in Thames Valley in 2012.
He was last seen on 24 January 2014. Paul Monk was arrested in Alicante on 17 April.
He was arrested as part of Operation Captura which was launched in 2006 by the National Crime Agency, Crimestoppers and Spanish authorities.
It aimed to catch suspects who had fled the UK.
Stead has scored three goals in three games as Notts County have won three from five under Jamie Fullarton.
But Stead was often deployed wider and deeper by previous boss Ricardo Moniz.
"The problem was Ricardo didn't really know me as a player. The new gaffer wanted me straight back up top and that is where I am utilised best," the 32-year-old told BBC Radio Nottingham.
Stead has managed a total of 11 goals in 32 appearances this season, with seven in his last 12 matches.
But he said he is much more comfortable playing centrally.
He added: "I have moved back to what I am used to, playing up top and coming to link at times.
"Playing deeper and wider is a different part to my game and I enjoyed it, but it's not what I have been doing for the last 15 years and I feel like I am more effective playing down the middle, playing with somebody."
And he said his chances of adding to his goal tally have been improved greatly.
"It has helped playing in a more central role," Stead said. "I am getting more scoring opportunities and am getting in better positions on the pitch to get the chances. I am pleased with my return so far."
Kris Leonard, River Reeves, and Jack Dakin - all aged 20 - Tomas Lowe, 27, and their manager Craig Tarry, 33, died outside Stockholm on 13 February.
The concert, which will feature friends and bands they have played with, will be hosted in their Warrington hometown by BBC Radio 1 DJ Phil Taggart.
Tickets are on sale for the show, at Parr Hall on 2 April.
Chris Persoglio, venue and events manager, said: "Having worked with Craig for many years and with the lads from the band on the Warrington Festival, we've been keen to hold a fitting tribute."
About 400 tickets have gone on sale and all proceeds will go to the families of the band members and their manager.
The bodies of the band and manager were released to their families on Thursday so funerals could take place.
It followed the adjournment of the inquests into their deaths, which was attended by 11 family members.
Cheshire Police said the band's car was travelling on a motorway and passed through a restricted area when it collided with barriers.
The car then fell into the canal below the bridge - about 18 miles from Stockholm - in Sodertalje, the inquest heard.

Sparks from the projectile are believed to have ignited the blaze.
About 300 spectators were watching a demonstration of the weapon, described as the "world's largest working siege machine", when the thatched building caught fire on Friday evening.
"No-one was ever at any risk," a castle spokeswoman said.
Eyewitness Dr Martin Lees, 45, from central London, was watching with his wife and two six-year-old boys, from across the River Avon.
He said there was "more concern than panic" among fellow spectators.
"There was a bit of a wind. The breeze picked up the ash and a bit of ash was coming down on our side of the river," he said.
"It was intriguing more than anything else... It was well-managed by the staff."
Dr Lees said the large projectile, which looks like a "bag of cement" set on fire, landed at least 10m (33ft) away from the boat house at the climax of the demonstration.
He said: "I'd say it was about three minutes between the projectile landing on the grass and the fire starting at the boat house.... I suspect sparks from that landed on the roof.
"It's just possible it's not related to this but it seems unlikely."
The castle said "despite speculation" it had not yet ascertained the cause of the fire and the island housing the boat house was not open to the public.
The Trebuchet Fireball Spectacular was built in 2005, is 60ft (18m) high, weighs 22 tonnes and has been fired at least 6,500 times, while the boat house dates back to 1896.
In a statement, the castle spokeswoman said the fire, which began at about 17:45 BST, was "was safely extinguished within a short time".
She said people watching on the opposite side of the River Avon were moved away from the bank.
An internal investigation was under way and the castle was fully open on Saturday, she added.
Kingston Police in south-west London tweeted a picture of a call-out their officers attended on Halloween.
Five giant orange-clad people were reportedly disrupting traffic in Kingston town centre at about 04:00 GMT on Sunday.
Police described the incident as "very interesting".
Formula 1's governing body, the FIA, met Vettel and Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene in Paris on Monday.
The 29-year-old four-time world champion admitted full responsibility for the incident, which happened during the race in Baku on 25 June.
Vettel "has extended his sincere apologies to the FIA and the wider motorsport family", the FIA said.
The FIA said that because of "the severity of the offence and its potential negative consequences", Vettel has been told that any repeat of his actions "would immediately be referred to the FIA International Tribunal for further investigation".
Championship leader Vettel accused Hamilton of 'brake-testing' - deliberately slowing in front of him - as they prepared for a restart behind a safety car.
Vettel then pulled alongside Hamilton and drove his car into the Mercedes so they banged wheels.
The German was given a 10-second stop-and-go penalty during the race after being found guilty of dangerous driving.
Hamilton, who was cleared of any wrongdoing, said Vettel's driving was "disgusting" and "not sportsman's conduct".
Vettel finished a place ahead of Hamilton in fourth extending his championship lead to 14 points after the Briton was forced to pit to change a loose head restraint.
The FIA held a meeting on Monday to "further examine the causes of the incident to evaluate whether further action is necessary".
It said in a statement: "Following detailed discussion and further examination of video and data evidence related to the incident, Sebastian Vettel admitted full responsibility.
"Sebastian Vettel extended his sincere apologies to the FIA and the wider motorsport family. He additionally committed to devote personal time over the next 12 months to educational activities across a variety of FIA championships and events.
"The FIA notes this commitment, the personal apology made by Sebastian Vettel and his pledge to make that apology public.
"In light of these developments, FIA president Jean Todt decided that on this occasion the matter should be closed."
"Concerning the incidents of Baku I'd like to explain myself: During the re-start lap, I got surprised by Lewis and ran into the back of his car.
"With hindsight, I don't believe he had any bad intentions. In the heat of the action I then overreacted, and therefore I want to apologise to Lewis directly, as well as to all the people who were watching the race. I realise that I was not setting a good example.
"I had no intention at any time to put Lewis in danger, but I understand that I caused a dangerous situation.
"Therefore, I would like to apologise to the FIA. I accept and respect the decisions that were taken at today's meeting in Paris, as well as the penalty imposed by the stewards in Baku.
"I love this sport and I am determined to represent it in a way that can be an example for future generations."
The first secretary of state said both sides wanted a successful outcome.
But Labour's Emily Thornberry said the Tories were "in a mess" over Brexit and urged ministers to "get a grip".
She suggested there were contingency plans for any failure to get a deal but the public were being left in the dark.
The prime minister missed Wednesday's session because of the King and Queen of Spain's state visit to the UK, while Ms Thornberry stood in for her party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
At the penultimate session before the summer recess, the shadow foreign secretary seized on what she said was confusion in the cabinet over whether the government was ruling out, or not, the UK leaving the EU in 2019 without any kind of agreement.
On Tuesday, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson suggested there was no planning for such a scenario, seemingly contradicting previous comments by ministers.
Ms Thornberry said Mr Johnson appeared to be "making it up as he is going along" while the prime minister - who has said she wants to work with other parties on a range of issues - was "so bereft of ideas that she is starting putting suggestion boxes around Parliament".
"Isn't the truth now that we have got a no deal option on the table but they won't tell us what it means, they have got contingency plans but they won't let the public see them," she said. "As a country, we have got 20 months to go before Brexit, we absolutely have got to get a grip."
Mr Green said the UK wanted an agreement but retained the right to walk away if it was offered a "punishment" deal that was bad for the country.
He suggested Labour would accept any offer from the EU, suggesting its approach to the talks was one of "unilateral disarmament".
"So far from the Labour Party they have had, I have counted, nine different plans on Europe. Labour want to be both in and out of the single market, in and out of the customs union. They said they wanted to remain and voted for Article 50."
In contrast, he said the UK's "reasonable" offer on citizens' rights showed the government was getting on with the task in a "practical and pragmatic" way.
He also rejected suggestions ministers were hiding information from the public about the economic consequences, saying the Office for Budget Responsibility would publish a report on Thursday about the likely fiscal risks and opportunities from Brexit.
Battle of the first secretaries
Damian Green
Emily Thornberry
Mrs May was not in the Commons as she attended a special event in Horseguards Parade to mark the beginning of King Felipe and Queen's Letizia's state visit to the UK. By convention, when the PM is absent, the opposition leader also stays away.
Mr Green was promoted to first secretary of state in a mini-reshuffle after the general election.
The MP, who has known Theresa May since they were contemporaries at Oxford University, is now regarded by some as Mrs May's de facto deputy and has adopted a high profile in recent weeks defending the PM and the Tories' pact with the Democratic Unionists.
The MP for Ashford, who is also Cabinet Office minister, was policing minister for four years in the coalition government but was sacked by David Cameron and had a spell on the backbenches between 2014 and 2016.
On the only other occasion that Theresa May has been absent from PMQs during her year in power, her stand-in was former leader of the House of Commons David Lidington. Mr Lidington has since become justice secretary.
Emily Thornberry, who is shadow first secretary of state as well as shadow foreign secretary, will be making her second appearance at PMQs.
The MP for Islington South took over from Angela Eagle as shadow first secretary after last year's EU referendum.
While many lament the apparent innovation vacuum across the national game, a pair of its prominent envoys aligned on Friday night to treat supporters to something novel.
When St Mirren and Partick Thistle were drawn against each other in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup - two clubs similar in stature and geographical proximity, and with no television coverage of the tie - ruminations began.
It started with a phone call, Thistle managing director Ian Maxwell ringing his counterpart in Paisley, Brian Caldwell.
"I hope you're going to be innovative with the pricing," chided Maxwell, who represented both clubs during his playing career.
"Never mind the prices, let's go full-scale, try something completely different that Scottish football hasn't seen in a long time," Caldwell replied.
"What are you thinking?" asked Maxwell, his interest piqued.
Caldwell's brainchild was thus: in addition to their hefty away allocation, Thistle supporters would be invited to share a section of the Main Stand and the entirety of the Family Stand with their hosts in the Paisley 2021 Stadium.
"A lot of our supporters are friendly with their supporters," explains Caldwell. "Why not mix them so that they can wear the colours, sit together and enjoy the match together?"
Supporters were consulted, and the regulatory boxes ticked with Renfrewshire Council and the emergency services.
Caldwell and his colleagues set about arranging an assortment of pre-match and half-time entertainment and activities for youngsters in and around the ground.
Two giant pandas wielding corner flags grappled in the centre circle with a manic four-limbed sunshine - not a scene from a game show, but the mascot race.
"The atmosphere's all about having the fans quite close to each other," said one Thistle visitor. "I think when the fans are completely segregated it takes away from the atmosphere.
"The mixed zone promotes tolerance - that's really, really good. It's just a football game, not a war. I wouldn't advocate it for the whole ground."
Even as frustration grew among the home fans with the Buddies toiling, ultimately falling to a 2-1 defeat, the atmosphere in the shared zones remained genial.
"It does feel odd," conceded a Buddies man. "Anything St Mirren can do that brings the supporters back in, they've got to think about it."
Another St Mirren regular added: "I think it could certainly help the atmosphere and the overall experience irrespective of what happens on the pitch.
"It means I can come with my Thistle-supporting friends and sit together without anyone sitting on their hands."
There was, perhaps, an added effervescence in the mixed zones, both of which were populated fairly evenly with each set of supporters.
And the football equivalent of a pantomime chorus threatened to break out when Thistle striker Kris Doolan loped into the home box amid suspicions of offside.
Fans who might otherwise have stayed home were able to attend, bring their children and, in some instances, their children's friends - even though they supported the opposition.
"If St Mirren win, I'll take my St Mirren-supporting pal down to the pub and he can buy me a pint," said one wizened observer, draped in a Thistle scarf, in between mouthfuls of pie.
"If Partick win, I'll buy him a pint, and if it's a draw, well, we'll need to buy our own drinks."
Mixing supporters might not be in Steve Jobs territory as far as radical pioneering is concerned but, where practical, Friday's successful venture may lead to replication in Paisley and beyond.
In rugby, Pro12 champions Glasgow Warriors have reaped the benefits of community outreach initiatives and the cultivation of an interactive matchday experience geared towards family fun.
"Here are two clubs who are very close to Rangers and Celtic, they're very family-oriented, they can mix the fans, the fans can come together and enjoy the matchday experience," says Caldwell.
"They do all this at the rugby, it's very similar to what we're trying to do.
"There are 42 clubs in Scottish football; I think sometimes we forget how family-oriented the majority of clubs are. We get tarred with a bad brush because of small incidents from years and years ago.
"Football's changed, stadiums have changed; we need to make football a family matchday experience."
The group's fourth seeds had the better of the game throughout and saw their pressure pay off when Rok Kronaveter came off the bench to score.
The result moves them on to four points, level with Scotland and two points behind Gareth Southgate's side.
Slovakia, seeded second, have no points from their opening two games.
Their meeting with Scotland in Trnava on Tuesday is one they cannot afford to lose, with the Scots also needing to make up for dropped points at home to Lithuania, as both countries cling on to hopes of a play-off place.
Having missed out on Euro 2016 after finishing third in England's qualifying group and losing a play-off to Ukraine, Srecko Katanec's side came into this match on the back of a 2-2 draw in Lithuania.
That could yet be a precious point as they proved that, at home, they will be stiff opposition.
In a match of few clear-cut opportunities, Roman Bezjak had a first-half shot pushed onto the bar brilliantly by Kozacik.
But as a goal-less draw looked the likeliest outcome, Josip Ilicic found Kronaveter with a precise pass and the player who plies his trade in Ljubljana with Olimpija guided the ball past the keeper.
After the agony of losing an injury-time goal in the first match to England, the Euro 2016 finalists rarely looked like troubling Jan Oblak in the Slovenian goal.
Only once was the Atletico Madrid keeper called into action, saving a Robert Mak effort with his legs.
Playmaker Marek Hamsik was subdued, marshalled well by Rene Krhin, and failed to influence the game.
Scotland must ensure the same happens on Tuesday, with both teams knowing the loser can forget Russia 2018.

"You all know what the game is like. It tests us, and it is one of those things," said Henderson.
It happened on the same day the Henderson-trained Sprinter Sacre - winner of nine Group One races - was retired after a tendon injury.
Simonsig won eight races from 13 starts, including the Neptune Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March 2012 and the Arkle Trophy a year later.
The gelding had struggled with injury since that victory and only returned to the track at Aintree in November 2015, after which he only raced three more times.

Two groups objecting to Harlan Laboratories' breeding of animals for medical research have held protests at its four UK sites since April.
A High Court injunction earlier this month ordered them not to continue to wear bloodstained clothing.
The court permitted up to 100 people to protest at the Wyton site on Saturday.
Protests by the National Anti-Vivisection Alliance (NAVA) and Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) had been held at Wyton and at Harlan in Leicestershire, Oxfordshire and Derbyshire.
They had been marked by activists in bloodstained costumes, which the groups said represented the "slaughter" of animals.
On 3 August, the High Court heard the clothing amounted to harassment of Harlan staff, who are involved in animal husbandry, not vivisection.
After Saturday's demonstration, protests involving up to 25 people can be held for up to three hours, once a week, at each of Harlan's sites.
Midfielder Pena, 27, joins from Liga MX side Guadalajara in his homeland, while 28-year-old striker Herrera joins from Mexican side Pumas.
"I have been waiting for this move for many years now," Pena told RangersTV.
"I wanted to become part of European football and I hope I will be able to make my own contribution to the team."
Pena has also played for Pachuca and Leon in Mexico and has won 19 caps.
Herrera had been at Pumas since 2007, but was on loan at Santos Laguna when they were managed by Pedro Caixinha, now the Rangers boss.
The 6ft 2in forward has scored 57 goals in 207 appearances in Mexico.
He won the first of his nine caps in March 2015 and has scored three goals for his country.
"I will bring a lot of work and a lot of sacrifice and hopefully a lot of goals," said Herrera.
"I am a centre-forward and I like to be in the opposition box looking for a chance to score. I am used to playing as a target man, to have the ball and support my team and other players in those types of situations."
Pena and Herrera follow Bruno Alves, Ryan Jack, Dalcio, Fabio Cardoso, Daniel Candeias and Alfredo Morelos in moving to Ibrox.

The 23-year-old was the only competitor to score more than 90 points out of a possible 100 in Cardrona, New Zealand, opening with 90.20 before posting 93.40.
He finished ahead of Norway's Oystein Braaten (89.80) and American Joss Christensen (87.20).
Earlier this month, Woods won the New Zealand Freeski Open.
In January, Mammoth in California will host the second of the five World Cup events, followed by Park City in Utah, Phoenix Park in South Korea and Silvaplana in Switzerland.

Mr Morrison said he continued to be "amazed" by the response.

Sarah Teale was filming outside a conference on the subject in Nottingham when a man directed a sexual comment towards her.
The East Midlands Today reporter said she was "genuinely shocked" by what the man said.
She said: "It's not banter, it's not funny and no-one should have to put up with it."
In the clip, Teale can be heard explaining: "An online study showed that a shocking 95% of people said they had been harassed, jeered at, or had obscenities shouted at them in the street and a large proportion said they'd also been groped or grabbed inappropriately in public."
Then, as a comment is made, she can be seen pointing ahead and saying: "Yeah, like that."
People took to social media to comment on what happened, with many posting messages of support.
One post from Helen Briggs simply read: "Shameful."
Another from Neil Harrison said: "Name and shame the moronic... sad pathetic creep."
Some said the man's comments were just part of an internet craze, while others thought the video had been staged to make a point.
Sandy Oestreich said: "I think it was planned or staged."
Mickey Sjv Gregory added he thought it was "someone just cashing in on the trend and trying to be funny".
The TV presenter said it was good people were now talking about the issue but said claims the video was staged were "absolute nonsense".
She said: "It's fairly obvious from my reaction that it wasn't staged.
"If it is a craze it doesn't make it any less offensive."
National press, including the Independent and New Statesman, covered the story, which was also featured on Australian TV.
Oxford began confidently and McAleny wasted two chances inside a minute from 12 yards before the visitors went ahead in the 17th minute.
Toni Martinez got behind Chesterfield on the left and pulled the back to Hall, who held off a defender before slotting the ball in from close range.
Chesterfield responded with Sylvan Ebanks-Blake releasing Kristian Dennis whose 20-yard shot was beaten away by Simon Eastwood, but Oxford scored again nine minutes before the interval.
Hall pounced on a loose clearance and set up McAleny, who sent a swerving shot from the edge of the box past Thorsten Stuckmann.
Stuckmann kept Chesterfield in the game by keeping out a Phil Edwards header after the break, but he was beaten again just after the hour mark as Oxford moved further ahead.
McAleny was allowed to run inside unchecked before firing a 25-yard shot inside Stuckmann's right post.
Chesterfield fell apart in the 69th minute when Ian Evatt gave the ball away and McAleny scored his third from just inside the area as Oxford cruised to victory.

Delay over. They are ready to continue.
Three pro-EU MPs argue this approach risks creating "losers" because almost all sectors are linked to the EU.
Tory Anna Soubry, Labour's Chuka Umunna and Lib Dem Nick Clegg all want the UK to remain in the EU single market.
Pro-Brexit Tory Michael Gove says the single market is a "bureaucratic web" which the UK should leave.
The three pro-EU MPs are part of Open Britain, which replaced the official Remain campaign after the EU referendum.
At an event in London, they will present a report looking at different sectors of the UK economy and their links with the EU.
Written by the Centre for Economics and Business Research, it says every sector appeared to benefit from trade within the single market with 3.25 million UK jobs directly or indirectly linked to EU trade.
Manufacturing would "certainly suffer significantly" from restricted access to the single market, it says, while banking and insurance and professional services also have a "very strong link" to the EU and other sectors have "indirect" links.
"Although it might seem theoretically possible to cherry pick a number of sectors and negotiate trade agreements for the sectors, there is considerable linkage between the sectors," the report says.
"It has taken a quarter of a century to negotiate the single market as it exists today and could take nearly as long to renegotiate a new arrangement on a sectoral basis."
Any attempt to choose "winners" for free trade deals with the EU "cannot be achieved without the risk of creating 'losers' through reduced access and reduced future mutual benefits", it adds.
Ms Soubry will say: "There are no inevitable outcomes. There is no mandate for one particular Brexit option. The only question on the ballot paper was whether to leave, which we will, but how we execute our extraction must be debated."
The single market - which allows EU states to trade free of tariffs and other barriers - is central to the debate on what kind of deal the UK should seek when it leaves.
EU leaders have said access to, or membership of, the single market is dependent on the UK continuing to accept the principle of free movement, while Downing Street says people voted for greater control over the UK's borders and says it will not compromise on immigration controls.
Ministers have yet to set out in detail their negotiating aims, but say they want maximum possible access to the single market.
Prime Minister Theresa May has also said the UK will not seek to replicate other countries' trading arrangements with the EU, saying she will be pressing for a "bespoke" deal.
A spokesman for the Department for Exiting the EU said: "The government has been clear that we want to give British companies the maximum freedom to trade with and operate in the single market - and let European businesses do the same here.
"But we have also been clear that the UK should make its own decisions on controlling immigration and the authority of EU law should end.
"It's not in the UK's interest to give a running commentary on our thinking that could undermine our negotiating position."
On Sunday, ex-minister and Vote Leave campaign chief Mr Gove told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "I think when people voted to leave the European Union they voted to take back control of our money, our laws, trade deals and our borders.
"That means that the single market, that is basically a bureaucratic web, we need to be out of."
In other Brexit news, 81 MPs and peers have signed a letter to European Council President Donald Tusk calling for a deal to protect the rights of both Britons living in other EU countries and EU nationals in the UK.
The letter, co-ordinated by Conservative MP Michael Tomlinson, says people are not "bargaining chips" and calls for discussions to "move forward quickly".
Proceedings over the alleged fraudulent acquisition of the club were dropped against Paul Clark and David Whitehouse earlier this year.
They became joint administrators of Rangers in February 2012.
The action is against Chief Constable Phil Gormley and senior legal figures.
A statement from Livingston Brown, the solicitors for Mr Whitehouse, said: "We can confirm that David Whitehouse and Paul Clark have initiated legal proceedings against the Chief Constable of Police Scotland, the Procurator Fiscal and the Lord Advocate.
"As these proceedings are under way it would be inappropriate for us to say anything more at this time."
The Crown Office confirmed in June that proceedings were no longer live against Mr Clark and Mr Whitehouse but have not commented on the latest development.
The 65-year-old crashed with a car on the A2100 Hastings Road in Telham, near Battle at about 21:40 BST on Wednesday.
The man, from St Leonards, died at the scene.
His pillion passenger, a woman aged 61, has life-threatening injuries and an 18-year-old man driving the car was seriously injured. They are being treated in hospital.
A six-storey theatre and cafe will be built above the remains of the what was known to the Bard as simply "The Theatre".
Visitors will be able to peer down to the foundations through glass panels in the ground floor.
The remains were found in Shoreditch, east London, during a 2008 dig.
The Theatre opened to audiences in 1576. A year later, another playhouse, the Curtain, was opened nearby.
Both were polygonal wooden structures like the reconstructed Globe Theatre on London's South Bank.
Both theatres were built outside the city walls after players were formally expelled from London in 1575 to protect against disease and poor morals.
Shakespeare is believed to have acted on both stages after arriving in London from Stratford, and early plays, including Romeo and Juliet, were performed at the venues.
"This wooden O", cited in the Prologue of Henry V, is believed to refer to the Curtain.
The scheme for The Theatre comes from the Belvedere Trust and is designed by Cambridge-based architects Bland Brown and Cole.
Neither architect nor client would comment on the scheme when contacted by the BBC, but in a submission to the planning authorities of Hackney Council, they state the building will consist of a "new, purpose-built three-level theatre of exceptional quality".
"The building will also include permanent viewing of the historical artefacts found on the site, including the original Theatre remains," they add.
A previous application for a four-storey building was approved in 2009, but the new design will create a theatre with a larger capacity and enable the display of the archaeological remains at ground-floor level.
Another mixed-use scheme has been proposed for the site of the Curtain, remains of which were discovered in a goods yard behind a pub in Shoreditch in 2011.
Dubbed the Stage, the project by Plough Yard Developments and designed by architects Pringle, Brandon, Perkins and Will, will see the archaeological remains put under glass at the centre of a new public plaza and performance space.
Visitors will be able to visit the remains close up, and a museum will be built.
To the edges of the new plaza, will be office space and a 40-storey residential tower block. A disused section of a railway viaduct on the site will be converted into gardens.
The application is scheduled to go before a Hackney Council committee in April.
Lead architect John Drew told the BBC: "First of all we want to fully discover the theatre and bring it back to life.
"We want to place it at the heart of a scheme and the heart of a public space where people can come and see it and enjoy it and learn about it.
"You're going to see some areas of glass paving [in a courtyard] and when you walk across those, you can look down and see the Elizabethan theatre below you. It's going to be living history."
Marc Zakian, a tour guide and Shakespeare expert, believes both The Theatre and the Curtain can put Shoreditch and the wider borough of Hackney on the international tourist map.
But he is calling for the development and operation of the sites to be fully co-ordinated, for the good of both visitors and the borough.
"This is a moment when you can tell the story of this young boy from Stratford, who with a glint in his eye, comes down to London, excited, inspired by the new theatres, the first actual proper theatre buildings that were opening.
"This is where he arrives on the edge of London. He doesn't start on Bankside, where the Globe is, he starts in Hackney. Shakespeare in Hackney - what a story that is. We really need to tell that story". | Englishmen Paul Casey and Kelvin Day carded rounds of 68 to earn a share of sixth place, three shots adrift, after round three of the Houston Open.

Lots of readers asked us the origins of phrases which use people's names like Gordon Bennett and Bob's Your Uncle.
You also asked where Shropshire greetings such as "Owd lad, Owd gal, Mon, Monner and Bow" came from.
We were asked about road works in Hereford and a Stoke-on-Trent delicacy called lobby. Here's how we got on with answering your questions:
Some of the most famous English phrases use people's names to convey a meaning, from the Bob of "Bob's your uncle" to the Gordon Bennett we call upon when we must not swear. But are these expressions, and others like them, based on real people? And if so, how did they become household names?
We spoke to Stuart Davies, known on Twitter as @shroppiemon, who runs the Memories of Shropshire Facebook page.
He explained Mon and Monner are friendly greetings that could be traced back to the work of Shropshire priest-turned-poet John Audelay, who used the line "No mon this book he take away" in 1426.
Mr Davies also said Owd Lad and Owd Nick originally referred to the devil, but are now used in the same way as Mon.
"I think Salopians of all ages use them, possibly with a nod to the past," he said.
The origins of the phrases themselves is less clear and it has been suggested there are similarities in these phrases to the local dialect of Staffordshire and the Black Country.
Lobby is a Staffordshire dish that traditionally uses left over meat, boiled in a pot with some animal bones and vegetables - because potters were paid very little and so they could not afford to waste food.
It looks like the exact origin has been lost in the mists of time - we have not been able to find a historian with an exact answer.
But we have two theories, partly suggested by people on the BBC Radio Stoke Facebook page - the first one is that the name comes from people having to "'lob whatever they had in the pantry" into the dish.
The second theory, suggested by local historian Mervyn Edwards, is that Lobby comes from the same source as Liverpool's Scouse in that they both derive from lobscouse, a stew commonly eaten by sailors throughout Northern Europe.
The new road is part of the Hereford 2020 project, which involves city centre refurbishment, an urban village, revamped walking and cycling facilities and southern link road.
Herefordshire Council says the new road is designed to "relieve some of the traffic from the centre of Hereford, particularly on Commercial Road and Blueschool Street".
It will also make it "easier and more enjoyable to walk around Hereford city", the council says.
You can find more on the plans here, along with photos of the work being carried out.
"The City Link Road, which is due for completion at the end of 2017, will include crossing provision for pedestrians at all of the junctions along the new road - at Edgar Street, Widemarsh Street, Station Approach and Commercial Road," the council said.

The Championship club are one of the oldest names in island football, having won their first title in 1947 and winning three Uptons in the 1950s.
But a lack of players has led the club to pull out of the island league.
"I am concerned for the Combination and have been for 10 years or more," Charlie Browne told BBC Sport.
"In the 1960s and 1970s football was the dominant sport, but there's a lot of other attractions for people to take part in.
"As the Combination we're fighting for membership with other organisations, it's a sign of the times really."
Find out how to get into football with our special guide.
The recent past has not been good for teams pulling out of Jersey football.
Last season, the island's oldest club St Martin, who merged with Sporting Club Francais in 2004, left the league, while First Tower United played in the reserve division.
Magpies pulled out in 2014 while Jersey Nomads have also fallen by the wayside, seeing a league which 10 years ago had 20 clubs in it now only have 15.
The league also changed its rules in order to stop top side Jersey Scottish from being automatically relegated from the flight after being unable to field a reserve side.
"It's very sad as Beeches have such a fantastic pedigree and their history is tremendous, one of the finest in the Channel Islands," added Browne.
"But they're really well organised when it comes to the committee, on this occasion they just didn't have the players and I really do think they'll come back.
"But I'm going to keep working hard, my priority is to go out there and sell the sport to the people of Jersey.
"It's a challenge, but I've never wanted this Combination to fail and I'm going to do everything I can to keep it going and build on it."

The hardware business of the former Hewlett-Packard announced the plans as part of a larger restructuring effort.
It is hoped the cuts will generate some $200m (£163m) to $300m in annual savings for the firm, but they are expected to cost up to $500m in charges.
HP also issued a lower-than-expected earnings guidance for next year.
The company said it expected adjusted profit for the fiscal year 2017 to be between $1.55 and $1.65 per share.
Hewlett-Packard split into two businesses last year: HP Inc, which focuses on printers and computers; and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which sold its software business to focus on data storage.
"I'm proud of the progress we have made in our first year as the new HP. Our focus is clear, our execution is solid, and we are positioned well for the next step in our journey," Dion Weisler, the company's president, said in a statement.
The job cuts come as sales of personal computers around the world continue to decline.
Earlier this week, research company Gartner said PC shipments declined 5.7% in the third quarter of 2016 compared with a year earlier.
Hewlett-Packard has in the past seen profits hit by declining sales of personal computers and has already had tens of thousands of job cuts in recent years.
The Financial Reporting Council will investigate how KPMG confirmed that the bank's UK and international branch complied with UK customer protection rules from 2007 to 2012.
The probe was prompted by a Financial Conduct Authority fine of the bank.
BNY Mellon was fined £126m in April for failing to protect customer assets.
The fine was the eighth largest imposed by the FCA, and was levied over BNY Mellon's London branch failure to keep customer money safe during the financial crisis.
Tim Martin said pubs paid 20% VAT on food sales while supermarkets paid "almost nothing", enabling them to subsidise alcoholic drink prices.
He said this favoured those who held dinner parties at home.
The company has previously highlighted what it sees as unfair treatment.
"In effect, this was a Budget for dinner parties, no doubt the preference of the Chancellor and his predecessor - dinner parties will suffer far less from the taxes outlined above, whereas many people prefer to go to pubs, given the choice."
He said "the biggest danger to the pub industry" was that it was taxed differently to supermarkets.
He said the firm's business rates bill will increase by £7m this year.
It calculates supermarkets paid "less than 2p per pint for business rates, whereas pubs paid around 18p per pint".
Electricity would cost the company £4m, excise duty £7m and the apprenticeship levy £2m, according to the Wetherspoons boss.
The newly announced pub tax relief made little difference, Mr Martin added.
The British Retail Consortium, which is the trade association for the UK retail industry, said it was not helpful to "pitch" one business against the other especially when the current system was "not fit for purpose in the 21st century" and needed "fundamental reform."
In a statement it said: "The argument for business rates reform is far bigger than individual companies; it is about recognising that the current system is no longer workable for the retail industry as a whole or for any type of business for that matter.
"The total annual rates bill for the retail industry is currently £7bn - nearly one-quarter of all receipts - far more than any other industry.
"Over the next three years to 2020 the retail industry as a whole will be paying £2bn more in business rates than they did in the previous three years and supermarkets will account for a sizeable proportion of this.
"No one is a 'winner' from this revaluation." The BRC added.
On Wednesday the Chancellor provided tax relief of about £1,000 per pub in 2017, with a rateable value of less than than £100,000.
Philip Hammond said this would help 90% of pubs in England.
He also capped bills for companies losing small business rate relief and provided a £300m discretionary relief fund which local authorities could target towards individual hardship cases.
The change in business rate payments from 1 April are linked to the revaluation of property in the UK.
Mr Martin said: "Companies like Wetherspoons, on examination of the fine print of the Budget, are not, in fact, eligible for the £1,000 per annum decrease in business rates, in any event".
Mr Martin's comments came as the 900-strong chain announced its annual results.
In its results for the 26 weeks ending 22 January, pre-tax profits before exceptional items rose 42.8% to £51.4m.
Mr Martin said in the six weeks to 5 March 2017, like-for-like sales rose by 2.7%, while total sales fell 0.2%.
He said significantly higher costs and an expected fall in like-for-like sales meant the company remained "cautious" about the next six months.
Shares fell almost 3% in morning trading in London to 939p, but have risen by about a third over the past 12 months.
In the 1980s, El Salvador was ravaged by a bitter civil war stoked by gross inequality between the overwhelming majority of the population and a small and wealthy elite that left around 70,000 people dead.
A United Nations-brokered peace agreement ended the civil war in 1992, ushering in important political reforms, but the country still suffers from the legacy of a divided society.
Violent "mara" street gangs have left El Salvador with one of the world's highest murder rates.

President: Salvador Sanchez Ceren
A former rebel leader, Salvador Sanchez Ceren won the presidential run-off of March 2014 by a narrow margin.
As presidential candidate of the left-wing Farabundo Marti Liberation Front (FMLN), he beat Norman Quijano of the conservative Arena party by less than a quarter of a percentage point, becoming the first former guerrilla to lead the Central American country.
In his inauguration speech, he promised to fight corruption and violence, and "to serve as president of all Salvadoreans".
Press freedom is guaranteed under the constitution, and the media freely and routinely criticise the government and report on opposition activities.
But ownership of broadcasting outlets is concentrated among a small group of private operators, and media owners "often impose controls on journalists to protect their political or economic interests", according to US-based Freedom House.
Some key dates in the history of El Salvador:
1540 - El Salvador becomes a Spanish colony after indigenous resistance is crushed.
1821 - Independence from Spain.
1823 - 1840 - El Salvador forms part of the short-lived United Provinces of Central America, which also includes Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.
1859-63 - President Gerardo Barrios introduces coffee growing.
1932 - Some 30,000 people are killed during the suppression of a peasant uprising led by Agustine Farabundo Marti.
1969 - Football War with Honduras; 4,000 die in 100-hour conflict.
1979 - 1992 - Civil war. Between 1979 and 1981 around 30,000 people are killed by army-backed right-wing death squads.
2009 - Former FMLN rebel movement emerges as largest party in parliamentary elections and shortly afterwards former rebel Mauricio Funes wins presidential elections.
2012 - A year-long truce between street gangs. It reputedly saves the lives of thousands but violence rises again in subsequent years.
The Clarets, who were relegated at the end of the season, had posted a £7.6m pre-tax loss the previous campaign.
These figures do not include compensation from Liverpool for striker Danny Ings, who left last summer.
Chairman Mike Garlick said the income allowed the club to clear debts and fund new developments.
"Decisions were taken early in the season to clear all the club's external and internal debts, as people will remember that last time we were promoted we did have around £10m of debt, both in terms of external creditors and directors," Garlick said in a statement to shareholders.
"They have been paid off, as have the Turf Moor Bond holders and, of course, the ground buy-back.
"We also committed to stadium improvements, such as the offices and new Clarets Store, as well as redeveloping our training ground at a cost of around £10m, in order to bring us in line with other clubs in both the Championship and Premier League and help to attract the best possible playing talent to the club, whatever their age group.
"If you add all that up, the combined cost of eliminating all debt, plus the new developments is approximately £20m."
Burnley are currently top of the Championship, four points clear of second-placed Brighton, who they face on Saturday.
The Shrimpers seemed set for a fourth victory in succession when Simon Cox fired them in front midway through the first half.
But the Addicks hit back at the death to pick up a point.
In-form Southend, who have now not lost for 12 games, went in front after 24 minutes when Cox neatly teed himself up before netting a well-taken left-footed shot from 12 yards.
However, Joe Aribo and Jorge Teixeira were then both denied by Southend goalkeeper Ted Smith before the Shrimpers almost made it 2-0 when Stephen McLaughlin fired against the right post.
In reply, Ezri Konsa and Jordan Botaka were both superbly denied by Smith before Aribo curled an effort against the crossbar.
The Shrimpers replied with Will Atkinson having an effort tipped over by Dillon Phillips before Marc-Antoine Fortune bundled the ball wide from close range.
And the wasted opportunities returned to haunt Southend as Crofts slammed home an 89th-minute volley via the underside of the crossbar.

Tries from Sean O'Brien, Iain Henderson, Johnny Sexton and Dave Kearney secured Ireland's bonus point before half-time.
Sean Cronin, Rob Kearney and Jared Payne added further tries in the second half at the Millennium Stadium.
DTH Van Der Merwe snatched a breakaway reply for Canada.
After the recent warm-up defeats by Wales and England, Ireland were back to their clinical best with Sexton the orchestrator.
The fly-half sprinted clear of the Canadian defence to score his first-half try as the Irish took total control after a slightly subdued beginning.
Loose-head prop Cian Healy made his return to action following neck surgery as he came on in the second half to complete a thoroughly satisfactory afternoon for Ireland coach Joe Schmidt.
Relive Ireland's win over Canada
After a lack of physicality in their two recent defeats, Ireland's forwards had a much more dynamic afternoon as flanker O'Brien looked back to something like his best and Henderson again excelled.
Henderson demonstrated his appetite for work in a performance highlighted by his 25th-minute try as he burst past three attempted tacklers with a close-range finish.
Healy went close to scoring a try of his own after his introduction following the hour mark and, crucially, Ireland appeared to emerge from the contest without picking up any major injuries.
As has been the case during their two recent successful Six Nations campaigns, Ireland performed the basics extremely well with the set-piece also rock solid.
The Canadians produced some early endeavour as they charged into Ireland's 22 but Sexton's 14th-minute penalty was soon followed by O'Brien's sixth international try as the Irish exploited the sin-binning of Canada captain Jamie Cudmore.
With Cudmore still off, Henderson burst past three tackles to notch Ireland's next try in the 25th minute before Sexton scorched clear of the Canadian defence moments later after O'Brien's clever inside pass.
The high Ireland tempo yielded Dave Kearney's bonus-point clinching try before the break with Canada winger Van Der Merwe denied a reply following a forward pass by Nathan Hirayama.
Leading 29-0 at half-time, the Irish efficiency wavered somewhat in the second half, with Paul O'Connell sin-binned soon after the interval for seizing an intercept from an offside position.
Ireland coach Schmidt introduced a plethora of substitutions with Healy coming on for his first action since May and Sexton called to the bench after his impressive afternoon.
But the opposition were also producing praiseworthy resolve and after replacement hooker Cronin scored Ireland's fifth try, Canada did finally get on the scoreboard with 10 minutes remaining as wing Van der Merwe charged clear after intercepting Payne's attempted grubber kick on halfway.
However, that only spurred Ireland to produce a strong finish as Payne regrouped to score Ireland's final try in the 76th minute shortly after a Keith Earls break set up Rob Kearney to touch down.
After having to deal with back-foot ball in Ireland's two most recent games, Sexton was back to his brilliant best as he kicked flawlessly and also showed an impressive turn of foot to run in Ireland's third try.
Sexton is probably more important to Ireland's World Cup prospects than even Paul O'Connell or Conor Murray.
So once he had produced his first-half brilliance, Schmidt wasn't going to wait long in the second half before calling his fly-half star ashore.

Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt:"I felt we built our way into the game pretty well and I think Canada showed why they deserved the respect we showed them. They are a very combative side.
"For us to build our way into the game and successfully put a few phases together effectively, to build that scoreboard pressure on them as well, was satisfying."

Corrie Mckeague, from Dunfermline, has been missing since a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on 24 September.
His mother Nicola Urquhart said she had "no faith" the police would find her son.
More than 1,300 people have pledged towards the fund. The organiser said people "are desperate to help".
Live: Latest on this story and others from Suffolk
The JustGiving page was set up by Cheryl Hickman, who runs The Bull Inn at Barton Mills where Mrs Urquhart has been staying since her son went missing.
She set it up at 21:30 GMT on Tuesday with a fundraising target of £20,000. More than £15,000 had been raised by 15:30 GMT on Wednesday.
Miss Hickman said: "I fully expected we would raise the money at some point but I had no idea how quickly.
"We had raised £10,000 by the time we went to bed and people were messaging me to say the site had crashed."
The funding bid for a private investigator was set up after Mrs Urquhart questioned Suffolk Police resources.
She said police had "behaved in a way" which had "absolutely destroyed" her belief that they are "competent and they know what they're doing".
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Louisa Pepper said she was confident in her team of officers.
She said the force was using an "inordinate" amount of resources in the hunt for Mr Mckeague.
Corrie Mckeague was last seen on CCTV walking alone and eating fast food in Brentgovel Street, Bury St Edmunds, at about 03:20 BST.
A five-figure reward for information on his whereabouts has been offered by his grandparents.
The Law and Justice Party (PiS) - eurosceptic and strong on traditional values - made a dramatic comeback in Sunday's general election.
Ms Szydlo, 52, has been a conservative MP for a decade. But she impressed many Poles and her party leader, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, earlier this year by running Andrzej Duda's successful presidential campaign.
A relatively unknown MEP, Mr Duda surprised almost everyone by beating the popular incumbent, Bronislaw Komorowski, in May.
During an energetic campaign, Mr Duda travelled the country, with Mrs Szydlo by his side, meeting and listening to as many Poles as he could. Ms Szydlo's role in his success was recognised when Mr Kaczynski appointed her the party's candidate for prime minister.
"The fresh, moderate face of the Polish right. She is the hard-working, skilful and intelligent woman behind Andrzej Duda's spectacular victory in the presidential race," said Marek Magierowski, President Duda's public diplomacy adviser.
That "fresh" face is important here - it sets her apart from the governing centre-right Civic Platform which, after eight years in office, lost much support. But she also contrasts with her boss, Mr Kaczynski.
Mr Kaczynski, a 66-year-old bachelor, is a divisive figure. He is not afraid to accuse his political opponents of being on the side of the former communist police and, more recently, he warned that immigrants were bringing diseases with them from the Middle East.
Led by Mr Kaczynski, Law and Justice had lost every major national election since 2007 until he stepped aside to allow Andrzej Duda to run for president this year.
Like Mr Kaczynski, Ms Szydlo stresses the importance of traditional Roman Catholic family values and the need to help the many who feel they have not benefited from Poland's impressive economic growth during the past two decades. But her tone is more measured.
She was born and raised near the southern Polish coal-mining town of Brzeszcze. "I remember my warm family home with affection," she writes on her webpage. "There was no lack of support, nor discipline. My parents worked hard. Daddy was a miner," she said.
She says she enjoyed reading and played handball during her student days in Krakow's Jagiellonian University, where she met her husband, Edward. They have two sons.
She became the youngest mayor in Malopolska province at the age of 35, and later joined Law and Justice, where she rose to become a deputy leader.
"Never a cabinet member, she'll face a steep learning curve as prime minister. Nevertheless, her views on the economy, a mixture of welfare and laissez-faire, have been her best asset during the campaign - at least in the eyes of the conservative electorate, appalled by the scale of corruption and indolence of the outgoing government," Mr Magierowski said.
Some critics, however, question her independence with Mr Kaczynski in the back seat.
A recent Civic Platform TV campaign spot shows Mr Kaczynski making several gaffes, followed by Ms Szydlo repeating "the chairman is always right".
In 2005, concerned that Poles would not accept both himself and his identical twin, Lech, in the country's top two jobs, Jaroslaw stood aside to help Lech win election as president.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski selected the relatively unknown Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz for prime minister, who lasted just eight months before he made way for his boss.
One of those critics is columnist Konstanty Gebert. "She won't last long. She is a creation of chairman Kaczynski and she serves at his pleasure," he told the BBC.
"She has proven to be as uncharismatic as Prime Minister Kopacz, which is no mean feat. She will be replaced as soon as Kaczynski decides to reshape the cabinet."
The CH47 Chinooks left the UK two weeks ago to help transport "life-saving aid supplies" and reach stranded victims "in desperate need" of help.
But the helicopters have been grounded in Delhi, in India, for the past week.
The Ministry of Defence said it was "disappointed", saying the decision had been made by the Nepalese government.
An MoD spokesman said the Nepalese government, while thanking the UK for the offer, had said the helicopters will not take part in the relief effort.
"We are disappointed that our Chinooks will not be supporting the World Food Programme's request for help in distributing aid but all decisions in relation to the relief effort are ultimately for the Government of Nepal to take," the spokesman said.
This seems to be a very strange decision. There is clearly a need for more helicopters in Nepal to deliver relief supplies.
The "disappointment" expressed by the British government hides stronger feelings and frustration.
They will be shared by the United Nations who need these helicopters now.
We don't yet know the reason why the Nepalese Government rejected the offer of help. There have been reports of concerns about the effect these twin rotor helicopters would have on the structurally weakened buildings.
But the RAF crews are highly experienced in delivering aid in disaster zones.
Others have suggested that China or India might be opposed to the use of British military helicopters flying near their airspace.
But why then are US military helicopters are already operating in Nepal? RAF crews who have been on the ground in Delhi waiting to help for more than a week are not the only ones who will feel perplexed.
The aircraft were flow to Nepal after the country was hit by the devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake of 25 April, killing more than 8,000 people.
On Tuesday, a second 7.3-magnitude quake killed at least 110 people.
Last week, the UK government said 92 additional Gurkhas had been deployed to Nepal to provide aid.
The Gurkhas, from the 36 Engineer Regiment based in Kent, have boosted the total number of UK military personnel in the region to almost 300.
British Army Gurkha engineers were also sent to Nepal on board a C-17 aircraft, along with 18 tonnes of aid supplies, and helped to provide safe drinking water for those who lost their homes in Nepal's capital Kathmandu.
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.

Almost a million children missed at least one day of school in England, despite the threat of fines.
Teachers said the fines were a "blunt instrument" and the problem was down to the price of holidays.
The Department for Education said unauthorised absences damage children's life chances.
Torbay, Bournemouth, Poole, Cornwall and Devon are among the 10 areas with the highest percentage rise in holiday absence.
Across England, term-time holidays accounted for an average of 27% of all missed "sessions" of school. There are two sessions of school each day, morning and afternoon.
Pupils in Yorkshire and The Humber and the North East of England lost the most time to holiday. The figures showed the number of absences was equivalent to 1.5 school sessions for every pupil. In Outer London the figure was equivalent to 0.75 days per pupil.
In areas like Warrington and East Riding, family holidays made up almost half of all missed school sessions.
801,980
for family holidays 2015-16
691,910
in 2014-15
525,045 times children arrived late in 2015-16
1,591,665 other unauthorised circumstances
403,010 where no reason given
The figures cover 2015-2016. In May 2016 a father won a case at the High Court to overturn a £120 fine levied for taking his daughter to Florida during term time.
Isle of Wight Council appealed against the verdict and Jon Platt's case went to the Supreme Court in January 2017, which reserved judgment.
Rules came into force in 2013 following concerns that some families saw going away during term-time as an entitlement.
If a school declares an absence unauthorised, the council can fine a parent £60 per child, which doubles to £120 if not paid within 21 days.
However, the fines appear to have not proven a deterrent as the number of unauthorised holiday absences has continued to rise.
Russell Hobby, general secretary of school leaders' union NAHT, said: "It is important that children miss as little time at school as possible.
"The cumulative effect of missed days can be harmful to children's education. The best way to ensure children are learning and progressing is for them to attend school during term time.
"However, the system of fines is clearly too blunt an instrument and in many cases it drives a wedge between schools and families. The real problem is holiday pricing. Neither parents nor schools set the prices of holidays. They will both continue to be caught between a rock and hard place without some sensible government intervention."
Representatives of the tourism industry said it was not possible to say whether people in the industry were taking their children out of school so they could have a family holiday outside of the peak season, when they would need to be working.
Paul Kelly, chief executive of the British Association of Leisure Parks, Piers and Attractions, said: "Our position, regardless of what these figures say, is that consideration does need to be given to people that work in the tourism industry.
"We don't support taking children out of school during term time but consideration does need to be given to people working in tourism based on factors such as their children's overall attendance and attainment."
Altogether, there were 2.6m children with at least one unauthorised absence, compared with 2.4m in 2014-15. This figures include pupils who arrived late for school.
The Department for Education insisted overall absence remained at "historic lows" and that persistent absence had fallen by more than a third since 2010-11.
A spokeswoman said: "The rules are clear - children should not be taken out of school without good reason. Evidence shows that every extra day of school missed can affect a pupil's chances of achieving good GCSEs, which has a lasting effect on their life chances.
"That is why we have tightened the rules to put teachers firmly back in charge of their classrooms, and we are supporting schools and local authorities to use their powers to tackle unauthorised absence."

The men, aged 44, 25 and 22, were attacked by three others on the Whitewell Road on Friday night.
One of the attackers is believed to have been carrying an iron bar.
Two men aged 22 and 21 have been arrested. Police said the victims were taken to hospital for treatment for their injuries that are not thought to be life-threatening.
They said a hate crime was one of their lines of enquiry.
Those from poorer backgrounds are 67% more likely to score below average in vocabulary at five than their peers, the Ready to Read Wales report said.
The Read On. Get On. campaign group has called for more investment in Wales' early years workforce and extra support for parents.
The Welsh government said raising literacy is a "major" priority.
Save the Children Wales - which is part of the campaign group - published the report on Tuesday.
Mary Powell-Chandler, head of the charity, said: "We know early language is a crucial stepping stone to literacy and that children with good language ability at age five are more likely to have both higher qualifications and to be in employment in adulthood compared to their peers."
The campaign group - made up of charities, libraries, teaching unions and publishing agencies - said one in four children growing up in poverty in Wales leave primary school unable to read well, with the gap beginning in early years.
The report features new analysis by University College London of a Welsh sample from the Millennium Cohort Study, a project following the lives of thousands of UK children.
It shows more than three quarters of children who experience intermittent or persistent poverty who score below average in vocabulary at five, also do so at the age of seven and again at 11.
Read On. Get On. welcomed recent initiatives but called on the Welsh government to invest further in language experts in early years departments, to strengthen support for parents and to appoint a Children's Minister.
Prof Chris Taylor, Cardiff co-director of the Wales Institute for Social and Economic Research, said: "When parents are struggling to find work, or take on additional work just to pay their rent, the attention that children need in the first few years of their lives can often be overlooked."
The UK-wide campaign group, which includes Book Trust Cymru, Teach First Cymru and Literature Wales, has set the goal of getting every child reading well by the age of 11 in 2025.
Welsh Children's Poet Laureate, Anni LlÅ·n, added: "If we do not encourage our children to strive to understand and interpret the world around them from a young age, then we are limiting their future."
The Welsh government welcomed the campaign and said it was working closely with those involved.
It said the report complemented its own Make Time to Read campaign, launched in 2010, and its Education Begins at Home scheme.
A spokeswoman said: "Raising literacy is a major Welsh Government priority and we have introduced a range of policies, including our Literacy and Numeracy Framework and annual reading tests to help achieve this.
"We also recognise that increasing the skills of the early years workforce is key to improving outcomes for children, particularly those living in poverty.
"That is why we are developing a multi-million pound programme with European Structural Funds to provide qualifications to the early years workforce up to degree level."
Mr Kenny and Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin met for more than an hour on Wednesday night.
It was the first time discussions between their respective parties took place on cooperation in government.
However, a senior member of Fianna Fáil says he believes the coalition offer will be rejected by the party.
Willie O'Dea told RTÉ that people voted to "get rid of Enda Kenny as taoiseach" and not for Fianna Fáil to share "Mercs and perks" with Fine Gael.
Earlier, Fine Gael's Simon Coveney told RTÉ his party's offer of sharing power with Fianna Fáil is a "genuine, real offer".
He added that it was in the "best interests of the country for the two large parties to come together".
Irish politicians have been attempting to form a working government since the general election in February.
Following the February election to the Dáil, Fine Gael has 50 seats, Fianna Fáil 44, Sinn Féin 23 and the Labour Party got seven.

Officers are keen to locate the mother of the child after the remains were found in Broadway, Sheerness, on Saturday afternoon.
Kent Police said the identity of the dead child is still not known and neither is the cause of death.
Det Insp Richard Vickery said the remnants of a small fire were found at the scene.
The fire is thought to have been started between 10:00 GMT and 12:30.
Officers received a report the remains had been found just before 12:50 GMT.
Det Insp Vickery said: "We're very keen to locate the mother of this girl as we are concerned for her wellbeing and want to make sure she is receiving the necessary emotional and medical support."
He appealed to hear from anyone who was in Broadway on Saturday morning. Officers have said information will be handled sensitively.
Adrian Hardman, a Conservative, was arrested after failing a breath test in Tewkesbury on 22 December.
Mr Hardman, leader of the council since 2010, is due to appear at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court on 18 January.
He said he would admit the charge and he wanted to apologise for what he described as a "gross misjudgement".
More updates on this story and others across Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
"I have fallen short of the standards that I set for myself and those that I expect from my fellow Worcestershire county councillors," said Mr Hardman.
"I will therefore be standing down as leader at the next full council meeting on 14 January.
"I fully support the drink-driving laws. I will be pleading guilty in court next month and will accept the punishment that is handed to me."
Gloucestershire Police previously said a 59-year-old man from Bredon had been charged with drinking and driving after he was arrested on Bredon Road, Tewkesbury at about 20:00 GMT on 22 December.
The Northern Rock Foundation has given millions of pounds to charities but, with the bank due to be privatised, there are currently no guarantees a new owner would continue its funding.
Headway Arts in Blyth, which runs groups for people with learning disabilities, warned they would be "devastated" if they lost foundation money.
The South Tyneside homeless charity, The Key Project, said losing funding would be a "massive blow".
In January, the foundation said it expected to receive less funding from Northern Rock but still had £38m in reserves.
Under the new arrangement it will receive 1% of the bank's pre-tax profits, down from the 5% agreed in 1997 when it was set up.
Half-year results show the bank's loss is much less than the £140m reported at the same time last year. The bank said it might make a profit next year.
Headway Arts' Seven Stars theatre group is one of many hoping those profits will not be lost to local voluntary groups.
Their creative director, Alison Walton-Robson, said: "The Northern Rock Foundation money has been crucial to Seven Stars.
"They'd be absolutely devastated if they lost the funding. It's a really big part of their lives."
The chief officer of the Key Project in South Shields, Jean Burnside, said: "I would urge the government that, whatever the future of the Northern Rock bank, that there are safeguards or some contributions made to the Northern Rock Foundation to safeguard all the work that's going on around the region."
In 13 years, the foundation has given 3,700 grants totalling £187m to nearly 2,000 groups.
When the bank was nationalised the government agreed to continue the charitable giving.
But some North East MPs have asked whether, once privatised, the Rock's new owners would keep the foundation going.
In June the Gateshead MP, Ian Mearns, tabled a motion in the Commons demanding that, when the bank is sold, the government should force the new owners to commit to charitable giving.
Mr Mearns said: "Northern Rock has been an integral part of the regional economy for so very long but the foundation, in terms of its important role with the voluntary sector across the region, has been fundamentally important.
"The government talk about rebalancing the economy, let's actually get some safeguards built into this."
In January, the foundation announced Northern Rock would provide funding at a level of 1% of its pre-tax profits on a two-year rolling agreement, which would be reviewed annually.
The foundation said it would continue to press the government to find a long-term funding solution.
It said it hoped any bidder would take the foundation into consideration.

Arsenal could welcome back captain Laurent Koscielny after two games out with an Achilles issue.
Petr Cech could also return after a calf injury but Lucas Perez and David Ospina remain sidelined.
Ian Dennis: "Arsenal will certainly not want another meek Monday night after their sorry showing at Selhurst Park.
"Last week their team coach was delayed in traffic in south London, but I remember 10 years ago the Arsenal bus, en route to the Riverside, took a wrong turn and started heading towards Darlington. They lost 2-1 to Middlesbrough that day.
"Critics of Arsene Wenger will say the club is lacking direction. The statistics certainly reinforce those that think Arsenal have lost their way - they've won seven points out of a possible 24 since the end of January.
"Sam Allardyce tactically exposed Arsenal but can Steve Agnew follow suit? A winning formula is essential because time is running out for Boro, who have scored the fewest home goals of any side in the top four divisions in England."
Twitter: @Iandennisbbc
Middlesbrough head coach Steve Agnew: Of course they [Arsenal] are in a difficult moment, certainly away from home. But they have got top-quality players throughout the team, so we have no doubt it will be a really, really difficult game.
"It is a challenge because he's got top, top players through the squad. It's full of internationals and Arsene Wenger, in my opinion, is one of the most talented coaches there's been around for many years."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on his side's top-four prospects: "We might get there, we might not get there, but the only thing to get there is to believe we can do it and that's what we have to focus on.
"It's not the fear to fail, it's the desire to make it and that's the only chance we have to make it."
Arsenal were all over the place against Crystal Palace last time out but Middlesbrough will not cause them anywhere near the same sort of problems.

Ms Brewster, 32, from Sheffield, was among 22 people who died in the suicide bomb attack at an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena in May.
She had gone to the gig with her sister and niece, both of whom were injured in the explosion.
The service will feature a number of Ms Brewster's favourite songs along with tributes from family and friends.
Ms Brewster was a former City School pupil who worked for Irwin Mitchell Solicitors and insurance company Aviva.
The family have asked for donations to be sent to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
The strike was initially aimed at mostly European flights, but will be expanded to international routes on Tuesday, hitting 200,000 passengers.
Lufthansa said that the strike, over changes to retirement and pensions terms, would hit profits and its image.
But the Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) union said it wanted to send a clear message.
Last week, VC called out its members at Lufthansa's budget airline, Germanwings, for a 12-hour stoppage.
The union, which represents about 5,400 Lufthansa pilots, is calling on the airline to reconsider its decision to raise the age that they can retire from 55.
The company has offered to retain the scheme for existing members but not to extend it to new recruits.
VC said Lufthansa was "stonewalling" over talks. Union board member Markus Wahl said: "We are extending the strike in order to send a clearer signal. Perhaps now, Lufthansa will finally come round."
But Simone Menne, Lufthansa's chief financial officer, said in a statement: "The strikes are not only causing significant financial damage but are also damaging our image, the consequences of which are significant and not yet clear,"
The airline said it hoped to operate a third of its flights over the two days.
The Lufthansa strike follows a walk-out over the weekend by railway drivers.
The train drivers' strike was over demands by the GDL for a 5% pay for 20,000 drivers and a shorter working week.
The head of the GDL union, Claus Weselsky, said there would be a week-long break before any further strikes.
The German Industry Federation business lobby condemned the strikes, saying they harmed "the entire economy" by affecting logistics, tourism and business travel.
Germany's economy has been slowing recently. However, the Economy Ministry said although the strikes would certainly "impact some sectors of the economy", there was no reason to change the 2014 growth forecast which was lowered this month to 1.2%.
Germany's government is expected to produce a draft law later this year aimed at stopping small numbers of employees paralysing large parts of the country's infrastructure through strike action.
President Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, who took power after the strongman's death in 2006, gave the order to remove the monument in January.
The rotation of the statue, which always faced the sun, was stopped several weeks ago.
On Wednesday it was removed and workers are now tackling the huge tripod base.
The 15m (50ft) statue and its 75m marble-covered plinth - called the Arch of Neutrality - were seen as representative of the excesses of Mr Niyazov.
The self-styled "Turkmenbashi" - meaning the father of all Turkmen - established a comprehensive personality cult.
Streets, cities and months were named after him and his family, and portraits of him hung across the country.
Since his death his successor, Mr Berdymukhamedov, has overseen efforts to remove the most prominent reminders of the late leader.
He has promised to introduce reform in the Central Asian nation, which under Mr Niyazov experienced two decades of authoritarian rule and near-total isolation from the outside world.
But critics say reforms to date have been mostly cosmetic - media remains controlled by the state, which has only one political party.
Sir Michael says children educated at home, in unregistered schools or in some independent faith schools can be at risk of exposure to extremist views.
The government said it was taking tough action on unregistered schools.
The three councils said the comments were a surprise but they were committed to improving safeguarding practices.
Sir Michael raised his concerns in a letter to Education Secretary Nicky Morgan.
In it he says the three councils are failing to keep proper track of missing pupils removed from their schools in the middle of the year.
This, he says, leaves children vulnerable to "harm, exploitation or the risk of falling under the influence of extremist views".
Sir Michael highlights continuing concerns about the performance of Birmingham City Council "and its ability to provide the necessary help and protection for children in need, as well as to ensure the safety of all school-age children in the city".
He says services to help and protect the city's vulnerable children remain "very poor" while the safeguarding of children in schools "is weak and lacks sufficient rigour".
And, according to the letter, the council is failing to trace children missing from education.
Some are simply removed from the council's records, with 253 missing children taken off the list without being located between September 2015 and January 2016 alone, Sir Michael notes.
Two years after the Trojan Horse allegations about a group of conservative Muslims taking over a number of Birmingham schools, Sir Michael says "the situation remains fragile".
Many of the schools have improved and children are much safer, while Ofsted continues to monitor progress and he himself makes frequent visits to the city, he writes.
But recent meetings with head teachers have revealed "a minority of people in the community who are still intent on destabilising these schools".
In one meeting, a group of heads spoke of feeling "isolated and vulnerable" without co-ordinated support, says the letter.
Some complained of a continuing "culture of fear" with "overt intimidation from some elements within the local community".
The heads highlighted:
"A number of heads said that they felt unsupported by the local authority in confronting these challenges," the letter continues.
Sir Michael recommends the three councils be monitored on a termly basis by dedicated Ofsted inspectors, reporting directly to him and to the education secretary.
A Department for Education spokeswoman said the government had announced a significant escalation of Ofsted investigations into unregistered schools and has "a team of inspectors dedicated to identifying, investigating and prosecuting such settings.
"We are working with the Crown Prosecution Service to take tough action on this issue."
The government is also toughening up requirements for schools to inform councils about pupils who are removed, said the spokeswoman.
"Ofsted acknowledges that schools have improved and we should praise the professionals involved.
"However, we must remain vigilant against a small minority in communities who seek to undermine fundamental British values," she added.
Brigid Jones, Birmingham's cabinet member for children, families and schools, said the council was fully committed to delivering improvements and a recent inspection had confirmed they were progressing according to plan.
"We found the comments in Sir Michael's letter to be a surprise.
"In terms of the chief inspector's comments on schools in Birmingham, we note what is being said but contend they don't fully reflect the feedback that we receive from teachers, our education commissioner and the positive views of other government departments on our work on extremism."
Susan Hinchcliffe, leader of Bradford Council said nothing was more important "than keeping our children safe".
"Since the initial meeting with Sir Michael, we have already taken action across the areas identified to tighten our processes and have invited open scrutiny of our practice in this area."
Luton's chief executive, Trevor Holden, called the letter "both inaccurate and ill-advised" and in contradiction to Ofsted's most recent inspection report, which made no recommendations about safeguarding or children missing from school or in home education in the borough.
"As a council we are committed to working closely with Ofsted to improve educational services and safeguarding practices for the children and young people of Luton," said Mr Holden
"I have contacted the chief inspector to clarify his concerns."
Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge says flu is affecting patients as well as those in public areas and has urged people to stay away.
"The hospital is full and we're struggling to cope. Some patients have had to be diverted to other hospitals.
"We have high numbers of people with flu across the hospital," medical director Dr Jag Ahluwalia said.
"For coughs, colds and flu-like illnesses, people are better off at home, resting and drinking plenty of fluids," Dr Ahluwalia added.
"We need people to stay away from the hospital and ask themselves - do you need to be here?"
Influenza is a virus so cannot be treated with antibiotics and in most cases it will run its course, the hospital said.

Bury fighter Quigg, 25, softened the challenger up with a barrage of body shots in the first two rounds before dropping him with a huge right.
Former European champion Jamoye made it to his feet only for the referee to wave the fight off.
Earlier, Olympic champion Anthony Joshua made it eight early finishes from eight pro fights with a third-round stoppage of Germany's Konstantin Airich.
Frampton, 27, called Quigg out after winning the IBF belt from Spain's Kiko Martinez in Belfast last Saturday.
However, Frampton fractured his left hand against Martinez and has a mandatory title defence against American Chris Avalos, meaning a fight against Quigg seemed unlikely to take place until next summer at the earliest.
However, after seeing Quigg dispose of Jamoye, the Bury fighter's promoter Eddie Hearn suggested he could pay Avalos to step aside, as Martinez asked him to do in order to fight Frampton instead.
"Scott Quigg wants this fight and Carl Frampton wants this fight," said Hearn.
"We'll make the call to Frampton's manager Barry McGuigan."
Quigg added: "Carl Frampton is the fight I want next.
"Barry, Eddie, Carl and I should sit down in a room and not come out until it is sorted."
Promotional tensions - Frampton left Hearn last year to put his career in the hands of former featherweight world champion McGuigan - are likely to make negotiations difficult.

The major sticking point is likely to be where the fight takes place, with Frampton preferring his home town of Belfast and Quigg preferring Manchester.
Frampton's last fight took place in a 16,000-seat purpose-built outdoor stadium, because the biggest indoor arena in Northern Ireland, Belfast's Odyssey, only holds 9,000. The Manchester Arena, meanwhile, has a capacity of 20,000.
However, the Manchester Arena was only a quarter full on Saturday, suggesting that if Frampton did choose to box Quigg there, he would have the lion's share of the support, despite theoretically being the away fighter.
Quigg holds an inferior version of the WBA title, with Cuba's Guillermo Rigondeaux the governing body's so-called 'super' champion. Rigondeaux is also the WBO title-holder but has a small following, no television deal and is the man everyone wants to avoid in the division.
Both men are unbeaten as professionals, with Quigg winning 28 and drawing two of his 30 paid fights and Frampton winning all 19 of his encounters.
The 24-year-old Joshua, who won super-heavyweight gold at London 2012, showed his patient side in the first two rounds before flooring his opponent with a signature right cross midway through the third.
Airich, who had won 21 of his 31 previous paid fights, received a standing eight count but after Joshua landed with another thunderous right hand the German's corner threw the towel in.
Joshua's next fight is against Russian veteran Denis Bakhtov in London on 11 October.
Also on the undercard, Manchester's Anthony Crolla retained his WBO inter-continental lightweight title after a technical draw with Mexico's Gamaliel Diaz.
An accidental clash of heads at the end of the third round left the challenger with a cut over his right eye and the doctor deemed him unfit to continue.
However, it appeared Diaz had made the decision to quit before the doctor's intervention, in which case Crolla should have been awarded a stoppage.
Sweden, ranked sixth in the world, snatched victory six minutes from time in Vaxjo, having been largely dominant.
Brave Scottish defence, and profligate attack, kept the sides level heading into the final 10 minutes, with the visitors making three goalline clearances prior to conceding.
Uefa Women's Euro 2017 begins in the Netherlands on 16 July.
Anna Signeul's Scotland face Spain, England and Portugal in the group stages.
The hosts made one change to the side beaten 1-0 by the USA on Thursday, with Chelsea goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl returning from injury. The team is the one likely to face Germany in the opening Group B match in Breda next month.
Sweden head coach Pia Sundhage also led the United States to two Olympic gold medals. She and Signeul are former team-mates and opponents from club football in Sweden. Both are standing down from their jobs after the Euros, with the Scotland boss taking charge of Finland.
Scotland made two changes, bringing in Rachel Corsie and Joelle Murray for Jo Love and Ifeoma Dieke, the latter a casualty of Friday's 2-0 win over Romania in Falkirk.
Corsie, normally a central defender, was pushed up in front of the back four as she had been for most of the Euro qualifying campaign.
The first half started in warm sunshine and ended in a torrential downpour. The only constant was that just about all the football was played in Scotland's half.
Despite all their possession in attacking positions, the surprise was that Sweden failed to build on an opening seven minutes in which they could have scored three times.
Prolific striker Lotta Schelin (twice) and Lisa Dahlkvist both squandered close-range chances, one of them cleared off the line by full-back Frankie Brown.
Scotland striker Jane Ross, who scored her 50th international goal against Romania, was an isolated figure for most of the half.
Somehow the Scots held out to half-time, helped by timely blocks by Murray and Vaila Barsley and a second goalline clearance from Brown after 43 minutes.
Sweden made two changes at the start of the second half and three more before the hour. Scotland made two, Jo Love replacing Corsie and Sophie Howard later coming on for Murray in what was a more competitive second period.
Midfielder Seger saved her side by heading Caroline Weir's free-kick away for a corner with Barsley poised to take advantage.
Tired legs began to tell in the final 20 minutes as Sweden went all out to save face. Lisa Evans made the third goal-line clearance of the night, and then Seger rattled the bar with a header before finally getting Sweden's goal with another six minutes from the end.
Scotland head coach Anna Signeul: "We played a good game defensively and learned a lot about ourselves. Sweden are a very strong side.
"It's a shame we couldn't keep it until the end, but of course they were the better team. They were worthy of the win, but we learned a lot tonight.
"We also had to show that we could physically stand up, because we need to compete on that level in the Euros." | A complete list of winners at the 71st Tony Awards, held at New York's Radio City Music Hall on 11 June 2017.

That's where it began, on a working-class Belfast street, with his father's classic jazz and blues records ringing through the red-brick terraced house in the east of the city.
Now, more than 50 years on from his first recordings and two months shy of his 70th birthday, a knighthood in the Queen's honours caps a career that has seen the singer achieve the rare double of consistent commercial success and widespread adulation from the critics.
An enigmatic figure, Morrison has always taken shelter from the spotlight.
It was typical, as a man of precious few words, that he offered little to the press in reaction to his latest, and possibly greatest, honour.
"Throughout my career I have always preferred to let my music speak for me," he said.
"It is a huge honour to now have that body of work recognised in this way."
His music does indeed speak volumes.
Impossible to define, he has managed to blend blues, country, soul, jazz and Celtic folk with evocative lyrics that have earned him comparisons with some of Ireland's greatest poets.
His songs are unique products of his home city and the music he absorbed as a child - Hank Williams, Muddy Waters and Lead Belly he cites as major influences.
Morrison left school at 15 without qualifications, taking a job as a window-cleaner as he sang in various bands in Belfast.
The breakthrough was fronting and playing saxophone with his first band Them and the gigs they played at the city's long-since-gone Maritime Hotel, where their garage-rock and dirty R'n'B became a sensation.
Their hits included Baby Please Don't Go, Here Comes The Night and Gloria, but Morrison was destined for solo stardom.
He broke away from the band, and in 1967 Brown-Eyed Girl, perhaps his most celebrated song, reached number 10 in the United States.
From there, his career began its upward spiral.
Astral Weeks followed in 1969, a jazz-and-strings album regularly cited as one of the finest records of all time, and that set the standard for the rest of his career.
He was prolific during the early-1970s, releasing Moondance, Tupelo Honey, St Dominic's Preview and Veedon Fleece among others, and his soulful, formidable live sets meant he quickly became a performer sought after around the world.
As his career moved into the 1980s and 1990s, Morrison's music adopted a more mystical, spiritual quality.
His 1995 release Days Like This became an iconic song of peace in the context of the troubled past of his native Northern Ireland.
Record after record followed throughout the 2000s and into the current decade as he dabbled with skiffle, country and other genres, before reworking his classics on a recent album of duets.
Morrison, whose knighthood is for services to the music industry and tourism in Northern Ireland, has a reputation for being grumpy and discontent.
In 1993, for example, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but declined to turn up to the ceremony.
He admits he has not worn his fame easily, and his relationship with the music industry and the media has often been a frosty one.
But his standing as one of the most visionary and talented artists of his generation has grown as the decades have passed.
Musicians as diverse as Bruce Springsteen and Ed Sheeran say Morrison's extensive catalogue of over 360 songs has influenced them.
Morrison turns 70 in August, and to mark that milestone he will play two concerts on Cyprus Avenue, the tree-lined Belfast street that lends its name to one of his best-loved songs.
Even as he moves into his eighth decade, he is showing no signs of slowing down or losing his fire and passion for the music.
Perhaps, as he sings on Into The Mystic, it's too late to stop now.
A man was shot on Monday close to St Brendan's Primary School in Craigavon at closing time as pupils left the grounds.
The injured man is in a "stable" condition in hospital.
Education Minister John O'Dowd said the attack caused distress to both children and adults.
"The emotional well being of pupils is paramount," he said.
"I have asked for a critical incident team to be dispatched to the school to offer support and assistance."
He said the attack demonstrated a "blatant disregard" for the safety of pupils, parents and staff.
"I also want to commend school staff who reacted courageously during and after the attack, to ensure the safety of their pupils. The actions of St Brendan's staff are in stark contrast to those who carried this attack," he said.

They are now 10th, a point ahead of Well and 13 clear of bottom side Dundee United, with Motherwell seeking to avoid a second successive relegation play-off.
The match began amidst a slight snow shower but the players were not affected as the opening exchanges provided sufficient excitement, with Killie having the better first-half chances.
There was an early scare for the home side as Kiltie's shot from just inside the area took a wicked deflection off a defender and flew just wide.
Tope Obadeyi then dispossessed Morgaro Gomis, cut in from the right and fired a left-foot shot that Motherwell goalkeeper Connor Ripley managed to parry clear.
Ripley, celebrating his 23rd birthday, was in good form as he made two outstanding saves from Killie free-kicks.
He firstly palmed a Slater strike over the top and later superbly turned away Stevie Smith's left-foot curler from 25 yards.
Marvin Johnson came close for the home side when his cross from the left deflected off Conrad Balatoni and looped on to the roof of the net.
Killie made the breakthrough after the break with a terrific team goal from a sweeping move.
Gary Dicker and Slater exchanged passes in midfield before the latter spotted Smith advancing down the left. Smith steadied himself before whipping a pin-point cross for Kiltie to make the perfect connection six yards out with a volley that gave Ripley no chance.
The visitors doubled their lead when Slater showed his class with a driving run from midfield before shooting low past Ripley for a terrific solo goal.
Johnson came close to pulling a goal back for the home side but could only send his shot from close range into the side netting.
At the other end, Magennis stretched to touch a Kiltie cross just wide.
And, when Moult's effort hit the crossbar, it summed up Motherwell's afternoon.
US President Barack Obama said: "The time has come for President Assad to step aside."
It marks a significant increase in pressure on Mr Assad for sending in his army against the protesters.
Meanwhile, UN investigators say the use of violence in Syria "may amount to crimes against humanity".
In a report to the UN Human Rights Council, the investigators said the UN Security Council should refer the issue to the International Criminal Court.
Human rights groups believe about 2,000 people have been killed and thousands arrested since March as Syria's security forces - including tanks, helicopters, gunships and snipers - try to quell dissent that has broken out in much of the country.
President Bashar al-Assad has promised political reforms but has continued to clamp down on the protesters, blaming the unrest on "terrorist groups".
In a written statement, Mr Obama said: "The future of Syria must be determined by its people, but President Bashar al-Assad is standing in their way. His calls for dialogue and reform have rung hollow while he is imprisoning, torturing, and slaughtering his own people.
He added: "We have consistently said that President Assad must lead a democratic transition or get out of the way. He has not led. For the sake of the Syrian people, the time has come for President Assad to step aside."
Mr Obama also announced "unprecedented sanctions to deepen the financial isolation of the Assad regime and further disrupt its ability to finance a campaign of violence against the Syrian people".

Addressing a large gathering of Baath Party faithful shortly before the US-European move, Mr Assad told them that Syria would stick to its "nationalist, resisting positions" however much outside pressures might mount.
Hostility from the US and the West in general is a given as far as Damascus is concerned, so its reaction is bound to be defiant.
But President Obama's statement and the comments from Secretary of State Clinton are unlikely to be directly reported by the Syrian state media, and Syrian leaders may try to play them down by not reacting directly to them.
The same goes for the UN report to the Security Council on human rights abuses in Syria.
If past form is any guide, the Syrian reaction will more likely take the form of quoting adverse comments from allies or sympathisers without explaining exactly what they are referring to.
The US had already tightened its sanctions against members of Syria's government but had stopped short of demanding Mr Assad step down.
At the same time, the EU and the leaders of Britain, France and Germany issued statements also calling on President Assad to leave.
European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said: "The EU notes the complete loss of Bashar al-Assad's legitimacy in the eyes of the Syrian people and the necessity for him to step aside."
In a joint statement, the leaders of Britain, France and Germany said President Assad should "leave power in the greater interests of Syria and the unity of his people".
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper joined the other leaders in calling on "President Assad to vacate his position, relinquish power and step down immediately".
A Syrian government spokesman accused Western governments of increasing the tension in the country.
"It is strange that instead of offering [Damascus] a helping hand to implement its programme of reforms, the West and Obama are seeking to stoke more violence in Syria," Reem Haddad, of the information ministry, told AFP news agency.
The new sanctions announced by Mr Obama included a freeze on all assets of the Syrian government subject to US jurisdiction and a ban on US residents from carrying out any transactions with the Syrian government or blacklisted individuals.

Syria: Why the world has waited
Syria's petroleum industry is also subject to the US sanctions.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the sanctions would "further tighten the circle of isolation" and "strike at the heart of the regime".
The calls for Mr Assad to step down follow a report from UN investigators into the recent violence in Syria.
Their 22-page report says that security forces, including snipers, have used deadly force against civilians in attempts to quell months of anti-government protests.
News agencies said the investigators discovered that 26 men were blindfolded and shot dead while in government custody.
In other cases, security forces allegedly killed wounded civilians by putting them alive in refrigerators in hospital morgues, Reuters news agency said.
The UN's investigators were not allowed into Syria. They interviewed victims and witnesses of the violence, some in Syria, and others in the region.
"The mission found a pattern of human rights violations that constitutes widespread or systematic attacks against the civilian population, which may amount to crimes against humanity," the UN investigators said.
The report, released in Geneva, urged the UN Security Council to "consider referring the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court".
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, briefed the Security Council on the report later on Thursday in a special session.
After the session, the UN's Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs said a UN mission would visit Syria from this weekend to investigate the effects of the crackdown.
"We have been guaranteed that we will have full access to where we want to go," she said. "We will want to concentrate on those places where there have been reports of fighting."
An emergency session of the UN Human Rights Council will be held on Monday following a request from all 24 members - including Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
A freight train came off the tracks last October four miles from Gloucester station on the line to Newport.
A report by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) found there were dips in the track known as "cyclic top", but repairs had been ineffective.
The Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) is investigating whether health and safety laws have been breached.
The report said a speed restriction should have been put on the stretch of line, on which daily commuter services between Gloucester and Cardiff run.
It showed the train had been travelling at 69 mph (111 km/h) when the rear wagon derailed on 15 October 2013. An empty container fell off a wagon.
The investigation found that Network Rail had identified a problem with the track and carried out repairs, but water flowing beneath the track caused the problem of cyclic top to re-occur.
The RAIB report found: "The severity of the dips required immediate action by Network Rail, including the imposition of a speed restriction for the trains passing over it, but no such restriction had been put in place."
By the time the train stopped at Gloucester station, the rear wagon was severely damaged, the empty container it was carrying had fallen off, and there was damage to four miles of track, signalling cables, four level crossings and two bridges.
The line remained closed for four days while repairs were carried out. Repairs included replacement of 1,300 yds (1.2 km) of track, two sets of points, 300 sleepers, two miles of cable and a level crossing.
The report showed the type of wagon that derailed was susceptible to becoming derailed on track with dips in it, especially when loaded with the type of empty container it was carrying.
The investigation also found there were not enough staff working for Network's Rail's maintenance team.
The ORR said an Improvement Notice was served on Network Rail in June, after it found the Health and Safety at Work Act could have been contravened.
The inspector said an investigation indicated "that you are not conducting your undertaking in such a way as to ensure the safety of train passengers and others so far as it reasonably practicable as you do not have appropriate arrangements to ensure that track maintenance activities which are intended to manage train derailment risks are effectively planned, organised, monitored and reviewed".
Network Rail has been given until next February to make improvements.
Responding to the RAIB report, a Network Rail spokesman said the majority of recommendations outlined in the RAIB report "have either been implemented or are about to be implemented".
"As a result of this incident, we have reviewed the way in which we work and will continue to liaise with the RAIB to make the necessary improvements," they said.
The spokesperson said they would not comment on the ongoing ORR investigation.
And Walkers Crisps' marketing managers have found that out the hard way.
Within hours of the launch of a Champions League final campaign, which included the chance to win tickets for next weekend's Cardiff showpiece, their crisp-eater-in-chief Gary Lineker has been pictured clutching photos of Fred West and Harold Shipman in online videos on Twitter.
From Pepsi to Nivea: Some of the worst advertising fails
The "Walkers Wave" campaign asked social media users to respond to a tweet from the official Walkers Crisps Twitter account with a selfie, using the hashtag #WalkersWave, as part of the chance to win the tickets.
The user's picture would then be incorporated into a personalised video, featuring Gary Lineker, automatically tweeted and captioned by Walkers.
But, almost inevitably, pranksters online saw the potential.
Sensing a flaw in Walkers' marketing plan, people on Twitter started to respond with pictures of serial killers and disgraced celebrities.
In response, Gary Lineker tweeted: "Had an unusual day in some very strange company. I'm sure we'll wave goodbye to them all by tomorrow."
Launching the campaign earlier this week, Adam Warner, head of UEFA Champions League sponsorship at PepsiCo, said:
"At Walkers, we celebrate the fans who love the social occasion around UEFA Champions League match nights as much as the games themselves.
"Moments that bring fans together like a fan wave are an important part of a football game."
Walkers have started to remove the automated tweets and a company spokeswoman told the BBC: "We recognise people were offended by irresponsible and offensive posts by individuals, and we apologise. We are equally upset and have shut down all activity."

Laura Matthews, from Southend, Essex, was told her signature "L. Skywalker" infringed a trademark in July 2014.
She said she had made a series of complaints about the way her case had been handled by the Passport Office.
The Home Office said it regretted it had taken "longer than hoped" to consider Ms Matthews' case.
A spokesman said "proper consideration" was being given to the complaint, adding: "This is being progressed and we are looking to provide a full response at the earliest opportunity".
Ms Matthews, 30, said she had changed her name back by deed poll after months of going back and forth with the Passport Office.
In July 2014, Ms Matthews was told her signature infringed a trademark, and her name change would not be recognised.
The following month, officials told Ms Matthews her signature was valid after all and was issued with a passport.
But in December 2014, she was told the passport had been issued in error and had been cancelled.
She removed her "Skywalker" middle name when she said she had "no choice" but to revert to her birth name of Laura Elizabeth Matthews in order to get a passport.
In February last year, Ms Matthews requested all the information held on her by the Passport Office under the Data Protection Act, which organisations have 40 days to respond to.
Ms Matthews says she is still yet to receive the information she requested, more than a year later.
"I want to find out if the decision they made about my name change was correct. Why will they not release the information?" she said.
"These are people we trust to do things properly and they're not."
Smoke from the site has not yet fully dispersed and may still be visible, Vale of Glamorgan council said.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service has declared the incident closed, with all local roads now reopened.
The blaze at the Siteserv plant on the Llandow Industrial Estate started on 2 March, with five engines sent to tackle the fire.
The plant had its licence suspended by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) on 6 March, but the suspension has now been partially lifted for some waste to be accepted at the site.
NRW said they were launching a full investigation into the fire.
Nadia De Longhi, NRW operations manager, said "regulatory controls remain in place" at the site.
She added: "We will now undertake a full investigation, in cooperation with South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, and consider any appropriate enforcement action."
Acrid smoke from the fire reached as far as Bridgend, Barry and Cowbridge, with residents advised at the time to keep their windows closed.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) was called to the scene at about 13:15 BST after the lorry trapped several parked cars on South Eden Park Road.
The LFB tweeted: "Going the 'extra mile' might have been the better option rather than trying to squeeze under a bridge in Beckenham."
Train services across the bridge were stopped as a result of the incident.
A spokesperson for Halfords said: "We would like to apologise for any delays and inconvenience caused to road and train travellers and will be working with the authorities to carry out a full investigation."
London Bridge trains on their way to Hayes were terminating at Elmers End before the lorry was cleared at about 18:30.
The assessment was written by the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) on 27 August and released by Downing Street on 29 August.
The BBC's security correspondent Gordon Corera gives his analysis of the assessment below (GC).
A chemical attack occurred in Damascus on the morning of 21 August, resulting in at least 350 fatalities. It is not possible for the opposition to have carried out a CW attack on this scale.
GC: A central reason for the relative confidence of the assessment is a view that it could not be the opposition and therefore had to be the regime which launched the attack.
The regime has used CW on a smaller scale on at least 14 occasions in the past.
GC: The accompanying letter from the chair of the JIC says that it has judged with the "highest possible level of certainty" that chemical weapons have already been used 14 times but not on the same scale. The JIC appears very confident that these attacks were by the regime and may have more intelligence about these incidents than the 21 August attack.
There is some intelligence to suggest regime culpability in this attack.
GC: This key sentence indicates that they have only "some" intelligence pointing to the regime carrying out the attack but nothing so conclusive as to dispel all doubt. It is described in the accompanying letter as a "limited but growing body of intelligence". It is also described as highly sensitive, meaning it might be intercepted communications or material from another country. The prime minister has been shown it, but it is not included in this assessment.
These factors make it highly likely that the Syrian regime was responsible.
GC: This is the key judgement of the document. The phrase "highly likely" indicates a significant degree of confidence but not absolute certainty.
Extensive video footage attributed to the attack in eastern Damascus (which we assess would be very difficult to falsify) is consistent with the use of a nerve agent, such as sarin, and is not consistent with the use of blister or riot control agents.
GC: This paragraph, along with the accompanying letter, shows that the judgement that chemical weapons were used is based on what is known as open source information - in other words not secret intelligence but in this case public video footage. It also suggests they do not have separate confirmation of the use of chemical weapons, for instance in the form of analysis of samples at UK labs, which does seem to have taken place in the wake of other previous attacks. The committee chair says it has asked experts inside and outside government to see if this video could have been faked in any way by the opposition and has come to the conclusion that it is real.
There is no obvious political or military trigger for regime use of CW on an apparently larger scale now, particularly given the current presence in Syria of the UN investigation team. Permission to authorise CW has probably been delegated by President Assad to senior regime commanders, such as [*], but any deliberate change in the scale and nature of use would require his authorisation.
GC: This judgement is important because it suggests the JIC have some idea of the chain of command for the use of chemical weapons but are still not sure why chemical weapons were used and on precisely whose orders on this occasion. The accompanying letter says this area of motivation is the one where it does not have high confidence in its assessment. There has been speculation as to whether the attack was launched on orders from the top or on the initiative of a local commander.
There is no credible evidence that any opposition group has used CW. A number continue to seek a CW capability, but none currently has the capability to conduct a CW attack on this scale.
GC: This judgement is interesting because it tells us that some rebel groups have been trying to get hold of chemical weapons. There has been great concern that those opponents of the regime linked to al-Qaeda might get hold of them. However, the UK appears convinced that no opposition group would be able to carry out the kind of attack seen on 21 August, therefore meaning the use of weapons logically would have to have been by the regime.
Russia claims to have a 'good degree of confidence' that the attack was an 'opposition provocation' but has announced that they support an investigation into the incident. We expect them to maintain this line. The Syrian regime has now announced that it will allow access to the sites by UN inspectors.
GC: The inspectors will be looking to prove if chemical weapons were used but are not expected to say by whom.
There is no immediate time limit over which environmental or physiological samples would have degraded beyond usefulness. However, the longer it takes inspectors to gain access to the affected sites, the more difficult it will be to establish the chain of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.
GC: A chain of evidence is required to be sure that a particular sample was not tampered with before it is analysed for proof that chemical weapons were used.
Dean Rasche, 24, confronted Jordan Brimacombe at Deja Vu nightclub after the pair fell out over a girl.
The pair started fighting in the club and continued the brawl in the street after they were thrown out.
Police found part of Mr Brimacombe's ear on the ground and it had to be re-attached by surgeons.
Rasche, a prisoner at HMP Perth, pleaded guilty to a charge of assault to severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
His defence advocate Paul Parker Smith said: "He says that when the fight was on-going he was bitten on the finger and he reciprocated by biting the most convenient point - which was on his ear.
"It was all over a young lady. He throws himself on the mercy of the court."
Sheriff Tom Hughes jailed Rasche for two years and four months, telling him: "You don't need me to tell you that you have a bad record of previous convictions including one on indictment for assault.
"It is completely unacceptable and you have left your victim in this case with some disfigurement as a result."
Anthony Bagshaw, of S Bagshaw and Sons butchers, pleaded guilty to 24 offences relating to animal cruelty, food safety and movement of animals.
CCTV footage taken inside the abattoir showed him kicking a pig in the face and throwing a sheep against a gate.
Bagshaw, of Back Lane Butterton, was banned from keeping farm animals for 15 years, Stafford Crown Court heard.
Secret cameras were placed inside the abattoir in Leek, Staffordshire, by Hillside Animal Sanctuary, which had received reports of animal cruelty.
Among the nine animal welfare charges, Bagshaw admitted knocking a sheep unconscious by hitting it on the head with a stun gun and a metal shackle.
The 36-year-old committed the offences between August 2014 and March 2015, the court heard.
At sentencing Judge Jonathan Gosling said Bagshaw's treatment of animals was deplorable.
John Watson, from the animal sanctuary, said: "Had we not been able to obtain the harrowing evidence of barbaric cruelty happening behind the closed doors of this 'high class' family slaughterhouse, it would still be going on right now."
The investigation was jointly carried out by Staffordshire County Council, the Food Standards Agency and Defra.
The council's trading standards leader Gill Heath said: "His treatment of animals was shocking and it is absolutely right that he has been banned from keeping animals for so long."
A report also said £1.5m had to be written off when a plan to refurbish the Dundonald Ice Bowl was cancelled.
The redevelopment was proposed by Castlereagh Borough Council, which was merging with Lisburn City Council.
However, it transpired the new shadow council had not given its approval.
The Three network is also not currently offering exchanges, while O2 said it was still not selling the smartphone.
Samsung has cut production of the Note 7 after several reports of replacement models overheating and emitting smoke.
The Note 7 went on sale in the UK days before Samsung issued a recall, and sales have so far been limited.
Over the weekend it emerged that a second Note 7 replacement device, deemed safe by the company, had caught fire in America.
"Following recent media reports of further Note 7 issues in the US and Canada, we have suspended Note 7 exchanges and are currently in direct contact with Samsung regarding next steps on the matter," EE said.
Cellan-Jones: Samsung's burning issue
Why do lithium batteries explode?
A Vodafone spokesman said it had paused pre-orders of the Note 7 as well as its device replacement programme "until such time that we receive satisfactory assurances from Samsung about the safety of the Galaxy Note 7".
Three also told the BBC it was "currently assessing the situation with Samsung and we will be seeking guidance from them before we resume any further exchanges of the Note 7".
O2 said it has not been selling the phone since September, when Samsung advised there would be an exchange programme. "We are currently in discussions with Samsung and reviewing our options," it added.
Carphone Warehouse said it was also in talks with Samsung about the phone.
The moves come after the three biggest US mobile operators, as well as networks in Australia and Asia, stopped replacing or selling the phone.
They took action after a man in Kentucky said he woke up to a bedroom full of smoke from a replaced Note 7, days after a domestic flight in the US was evacuated after a new device started emitting smoke in the cabin.
US networks AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile said they would no longer replace the devices, while the latter said it would halt all sales of the phone.
"While Samsung investigates multiple reports of issues, T-Mobile is temporarily suspending all sales of the new Note 7 and exchanges for replacement Note 7 devices," T-Mobile said on its website.
Meanwhile, AT&T said: "We're no longer exchanging new Note 7s at this time, pending further investigation of these reported incidents." It advised customers to exchange them for other devices.
Samsung said on Monday that it was "adjusting the production schedule" in response to moves by the US and other networks.
"We continue to move quickly to investigate the reported case to determine the cause and will share findings as soon as possible," Samsung said.
The band performed on Wednesday night in Indonesia as news of their bandmate's decision to quit was still breaking around the world.
Harry walked around on stage, head in hands as he started to cry.
A statement released by Zayn Malik on Wednesday said "it's time for me to leave".
It began: "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined.
"But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart.
"I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.
"I know I have four friends for life in Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall. I know they will continue to be the best band in the world."
The footage of Harry was taken as the band performed on stage in Indonesia's capital Jakarta, the latest stop on their On The Road Again Tour.
Last week it was announced Zayn had been signed off from the current tour with "stress".
It is unclear from the footage whether Harry, 21, was crying because of the news of Zayn or because fans were showing support by shouting his name.
At one point in the concert Liam Payne reportedly comforted him.
In a black T-shirt and with his hair up in his trademark man bun, Harry wandered around the stage with his head in his hands and wiping away tears.
Liam Payne told his 19.7 million Twitter followers: "So glad to be in bed after a long and strange 24 hours."
Bandmate Harry Styles sent a simple message to his 24.1 million Twitter followers, which read: "All the love as always. H."
Louis Tomlinson has also tweeted: "Your support has been incredible , truly incredible so thank you so much!
"Been a crazy couple of days but know that we are going to work harder than ever to deliver the best album we've ever made for you guys!"
Niall Horan was the last to tweet. He said: "Been a mad few days and your support has been incredible as per usual ! This in turn Spurs us on to make the best music we possibly can.
"Put on great shows / tours for you guys. You are the best fans in the world and you deserve nothing less from us!
"The lads and I arrived in South Africa this morning . We cannot wait to see all you SA fans for the first time and have great shows."
It's not the first time Harry has appeared to cry on stage.
Footage showed him snivelling at a gig in Melbourne, Australia, in 2013 while singing Over Again.
The band, minus Zayn, released a statement on Wednesday confirming to fans that the band would continue as a four-piece.
They will record their fifth album in Zayn's absence and will continue with the remaining dates on the band's world tour.
They were offered words of comfort from Take That's Gary Barlow.
Take That went from a five-piece to a four-piece in 1996 after Robbie Williams left to go solo.
Jason Orange also left the group last year.
Barlow tweeted: "Sending my best to all the 1D boys ! #thatters we've all been there haven't we ? !!!!!"
Cowell's fellow X Factor judge Louis Walsh said he'd heard rumours for a number of weeks that "everything wasn't happy in paradise".
He told Irish radio station RTE Radio One: "The problem with these guys is they've been in a bubble for the last five years, pressure, working, a lot harder than people think, so something had to give.
"So Zayn was the first person just to crack up a little bit."

Between December 2009 and December 2016, line rental prices had increased by as much as 49% for some customers, the regulator said.
And of the people with standalone landlines in their homes, 71% were aged 65 or over.
Ofcom recently revealed plans to make BT - with nearly 80% of the UK market - cut line rental costs by £5.
A huge proportion (43%) of the 2.9 million households with a landline only are occupied by people aged 75 and over.
"Older consumers are particularly affected, as they are more likely to be dependent on fixed voice services if they do not have a mobile phone or an internet connection," the report said.
Ofcom also said it was "concerned" BT's low cost option for landline-only customers on certain qualifying benefits - BT Basic Tariff - had not been taken up by many of the households that could apply for it.
The service costs £5.10 per month and provides customers with line rental and calls worth £1.50, with free calls at weekends to 0845 and 0870 numbers (up to 60 minutes).
"We... are working with BT, the Department for Work and Pensions and other organisations to raise awareness," Ofcom said.
In a statement, BT said it had recently frozen line rental costs for customers with a phone line.
The firm added that customers had enjoyed changes including "a faster fault repair service, the launch of our free nuisance calls prevention service BT Call Protect and bringing call centre work back from India to the UK".
Elsewhere in its report, Ofcom detailed new evidence for the increasing uptake of internet access among elderly people and people with disabilities.
One in five people with disabilities is still without such access, however, making them "much more likely than the population as a whole to face exclusion issues as a result of not being online".
"Life costs more if you are disabled," said James Taylor at disability charity Scope, who called for more to be done to get people with disabilities online.
The combined cost of higher energy bills and specialist equipment reaches on average £550 per month, according to Scope research.
"The internet provides access to tools to compare prices, access to the best deals and offers, and information which can help disabled people be savvier shoppers," added Mr Taylor.
And elderly people continued to be frustrated by encouragements to use services online, instead of in person or via the phone, said Sally West at the charity Age UK.
In particular, having to adapt to how technologies changed thanks to frequent software updates was an example of how digital life could be off-putting for those in later years, she said.
"Every time there's an update of an operating system or something like that - that's a struggle for everybody - but if you're new to using a computer or tablet, you can be thrown when things change," Ms West told the BBC.
But while vulnerable people still faced difficulties and rising costs associated with some of their services, those who used home broadband and mobile data plans were getting an increasingly better deal, a separate Ofcom report on pricing revealed.
Some of the changes highlighted include:
Dr Tom Frieden says this could lead to "thousands" of brain-damaged babies.
Zika has now been reported in 31 countries and territories in the Americas, with Brazil the worst hit.
There have been about 100 cases of Zika reported in mainland US.
These were in travellers who had recently returned from Zika-hit countries.
The Aedes aegypti mosquito that spreads the virus can be found in about a dozen US states, so the mainland is bracing itself for locally transmitted infections very soon.
Southern states such as Florida and Texas are particularly vulnerable.
But Dr Frieden - who is advising the president on this emergency - says Puerto Rico is the biggest concern for the US.
There have been almost 120 cases there so far.
"Close to 90% of adults in Puerto Rico have been infected with dengue [which is transmitted by the same mosquito as Zika]… so we need to do everything possible to reduce the risk to pregnant women there," Dr Frieden says.
Zika is not considered particularly dangerous in most people, but there is a strongly suspected link between the virus and babies being born with under-developed brains.
"This possible or probable association with microcephaly is extraordinarily unusual," says Dr Frieden
"We're not aware of any previous infection spread by mosquitoes that can cause a potentially devastating foetal malformation."
On the frontline of the US' fight against Zika, CDC scientists in Puerto Rico are urgently trying to find new tools to fight these mosquitoes.
The insects have been on the island for many centuries, spreading dengue and, more recently, chikungunya. And they have started to become resistant to the main insecticides used to kill them.
Scientists at the CDC's dengue branch in the Puerto Rican capital, San Juan, are urgently trying to establish which insecticides are still effective.
They are breeding the Zika-transmitting mosquitoes in their labs to test.
The eggs hatch and then undergo metamorphosis from pupae into adult flying mosquitoes within just a few days.
The mosquitoes live only for a couple of weeks, but that is more than enough time to spread disease, and anxiety.
Worryingly, it is becoming increasingly difficult to eliminate them.
"These mosquitoes are resistant to one of the most commonly used insecticides." says lead entomologist Dr Roberto Barrera.
"Permethrin has been used in Puerto Rico and the rest of the Americas for many years, but it doesn't work as well any more."
Dr Barrera's team will report back in the next couple of weeks on what other chemicals can be used.
In the meantime, fumigators go through residential areas spraying entire neighbourhoods with the less effective insecticide.
It is the best health authorities here have right now.
Despite the outbreak, tourism is still strong, with two enormous cruise ships docked in the harbour in old San Juan.
Most people are walking around in shorts and T-shirts, with their arms and legs exposed.
Everyone seems pretty relaxed.
It is only pregnant women who are being advised against travel to Zika-hit areas.
A causative link between Zika and microcephaly has yet to be confirmed.
But until more is known, health officials have to assume there is one.
"There is a lot we don't know," Dr Frieden says.
"If an infant is born to a woman who had Zika, and does not have microcephaly, do they have other problems?
"It may not become apparent for months or years to come."
That uncertainty is constantly on the mind of Joan Ballista, 28.
She is 24 weeks pregnant, and terrified she could become infected - most people who contract the disease do not even know they have it.
She has dropped into a Ministry of Health Women, Infants and Children clinic set up in the city's main shopping centre to give advice to expectant mothers.
"I am very worried" she says.
"I use repellent every day. I put it on when I wake up, when I go to bed. I really worry. Microcephaly is such a sad disease."

The 29-year-old former Marseille centre-back will join Ivory Coast's Gervinho at the Chinese club, after he signed from AS Roma on Wednesday.
"Looking forward to 'absolute beast defender' Mbia fully showing his strength," the club said on twitter.

Crews were called to High Street, Wallingford, after the alarm was raised by the pet sitter on Wednesday.
In a scene reminiscent of a Sainsbury's TV advert starring a cat called Mog, the fire service said the puss knocked a plastic bag onto the electric hob and pushed the control with its paw.
A spokesman advised pet owners not to leave items near their cookers and to switch off hobs at the mains.
There were no injuries following the fire and there was minimal damage to the property.
Watch manager Terry Coupar said the owners were "lucky" the pet sitter arrived when they did because no smoke alarms were fitted at the property.
Mog, which also starred in Judith Kerr's book Mog's Christmas Calamity, accidentally turned on an oven, burnt the turkey and destroyed a Christmas tree.
Among them was a drone carrying mobile phones and drugs that was intercepted by guards at Bedford Prison in March.
The use of drones is an "emerging threat", Eve Richard from the National Offender Management Service told a defence and security conference in London, the Independent reported.
Attempts are rare, the government said.
There were four known attempts to fly drones into prisons in England and Wales in 2014, the MoJ confirmed.
In August, a drone was found in the grounds of Norwich prison, while another was found caught in fencing at Liverpool prison recently.
Even the highest security prisons are vulnerable to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the Independent quoted intelligence analyst Ms Richard as saying.
There is no evidence that drones have been used to successfully smuggle contraband items into prisons, but there is potential for it to happen in the future, she reportedly told a briefing at the Defence and Security Equipment International exhibition in London.
"In a nutshell, our intelligence suggests that the use of UAVs to release items into our prisons is an emerging threat. It's not a huge issue at the moment but there is the potential for it to increase and become more of an issue," the newspaper quoted her as saying.
Mark Icke, vice-president of the Prison Governors Association, said he believed the drones were mostly being used to try to smuggle drugs into prisons.
"What we've got happening in the prison system at the moment is that we have younger, more advanced criminal networks operating in and around prison systems," he said.
"We're talking about big, organised gangs, and they're not about disorder, they're about making money. There is a huge mark-up on drugs in prison."
He said the use of drones was "an emerging threat and something we're concerned about", but that prison guards had limited control over preventing them.
Security caging around windows and overhead netting in prison yards, similar to that used in high security prisons, would help reduce the threat, he said.
The Prison Service said incidents involving drones were rare, but it remained "constantly vigilant" to all new threats.
A spokesman said: "We are introducing new legislation to further strengthen our powers, making it illegal to land a drone in prison or to use a drone to drop in psychoactive substances.
"We take a zero-tolerance approach to illicit material in prisons and work closely with the police and CPS to ensure those caught are prosecuted and face extra time behind bars."
Anyone using drones in an attempt to get contraband into prisons could be punished with a sentence of up to two years, he added.
One of those with HG is the Duchess of Cambridge, who is soon to give birth to her second child.
Her pregnancies have helped to raise awareness of the debilitating condition - which can leave women too ill to get out of bed and vomiting 30 times a day - but for 10% of sufferers, the symptoms are simply intolerable.
They feel they have no choice but to terminate their pregnancies.
According to charity Pregnancy Sickness Support, which has produced a report on women's experiences of hyperemesis gravidarum, entitled 'I could not survive another day', too many women don't receive the care and treatment they need to continue their pregnancies.
The report surveyed 70 women from the UK who had chosen to end their pregnancy in the last 10 years because of severe sickness.
Their experiences suggest that in some cases GPs and midwives are not willing to provide medication to treat the condition or are slow to recognise its severity.
Lily - not her real name - knows how it feels to be seriously ill with HG.
Her first pregnancy was "really grim, but I battled through it", she says.
She was bed-ridden for the first few months, only able to drink a little and was being sick up to 30 times a day. She became dehydrated and starving, eventually losing three stones (19kg) in weight.
"I was really weak and couldn't stand up from dizziness. I couldn't handle food smells, even the smell of my husband made me vomit.
"I remember forcing down some beans one day, but within seconds they came back up."
Lily's GP came to visit her now and then and prescribed a drug to stop her being sick - but it didn't stop the extreme nausea.
Eventually, after 22 weeks of pregnancy, her HG began to wear off to the extent that she only threw up once a day.
She gave birth to a daughter in 2011.
But when she became pregnant again just a few months later, she couldn't even sip water without being sick.
She was very ill and, with a baby to look after at home, just could not cope.
"I was begging the doctors for steroids [which can be an option for women who don't respond to other anti-sickness drugs] but we had moved house so no-one came to test my urine and I wasn't admitted to hospital for fluids."
The report found women are sometimes told that steroids can harm the foetus or that they are too expensive to prescribe.
Fewer than one in 10 were offered steroid therapy and 47% of the women surveyed said they had asked for medication and it had been refused, or were not offered any.
Caitlin Dean, chair of Pregnancy Sickness Support, says many women are under the illusion or advised by their healthcare professionals that there are no safe treatments that can be used in pregnancy.
"But there is a range of medications all known to be safe and effective which have been around for more than 50 years.
"And there is plenty of evidence they are not causing any concerns."
Dr Daghni Rajasingam, consultant obstetrician from St Thomas' Hospital in London and a spokeswoman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said HG was well understood and should be taken very seriously.
"We can start by giving women tablets to help the sickness, bring them into hospital to receive intravenous fluids and nutrition if necessary and give steroids in very severe cases."
An increase in public awareness of HG could make GPs and midwives more sympathetic towards patients who have severe pregnancy sickness, she adds.
"We have to ensure when women are pregnant they have a contact to discuss these issues with."
Lily gave up trying to get help during her second pregnancy because she was too busy just trying to survive one day at a time.
In the end, she didn't feel as if she had a choice.
"With all those motherly instincts you have, to terminate a child's life you've got to be desperate.
"I really felt as if I was on my last legs," she recalls.
Lily says she won't have another baby now, in fact she fears getting pregnant again.
"I don't trust the doctors. They don't take it seriously enough and it would just lead to another termination."
Caitlin Dean went through three pregnancies with HG, but thanks to an understanding GP and good care before and after conception, the third pregnancy was much more bearable.
She wants to see improved care for every woman with HG and she believes the key to reducing terminations is to provide a service which gives women intravenous fluids at home to combat dehydration.
It would be much more cost-effective than admitting women to hospital each time, she argues.
On Friday the Court of Appeal ruled Labour was within its rights to stop some new members voting in the contest between Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith.
It overturned an earlier High Court ruling that the ban was unlawful.
The five members said they would not take their case to the Supreme Court.
The National Executive Committee (NEC), the body that governs the Labour Party, ruled that full members could only vote if they had at least six months' continuous membership by 12 July.
The party offered a window from 18-20 July when more recent members - and non-members - could pay £25 to become "registered supporters" and gain the right to vote.
The exclusion of the new members is thought to benefit Mr Smith.
The five who challenged the NEC's ruling - Christine Evangelou, Rev Edward Leir, Hannah Fordham, Chris Granger and "FM", a teenage member - have raised £93,572 in donations but said they could not afford to take the case further.
In a message posted on their crowdfunding website, Ms Fordham said: "But the case wasn't in vain - although we didn't succeed in reclaiming votes for the 130,000 disenfranchised members, we did win in the High Court, exposing facts which have spurred important conversations about the role of the Labour Party membership and the NEC."
She added that the money raised would cover their legal fees and the £30,000 in costs they had been ordered to pay to the NEC, which brought the challenge against the High Court ruling.
The campaign team of party leader Mr Corbyn praised the efforts of the five members who initially brought the case to court.
A Jeremy for Labour spokesman said: "The strength of solidarity shown to the five claimants campaigning for the democratic rights of their fellow Labour party members has been truly remarkable.
"It is clear that there exists a huge amount of support for Jeremy's vision of a democratic Labour Party that is open and inclusive for all, so that we can achieve a Labour Government that can transform and rebuild Britain so that nowhere and no-one is left behind."
Speaking before the five members dropped their case, in an interview with the Observer, Mr Corbyn refused to express full confidence in the party's general secretary, Ian McNichol, who was a key figure in the NEC's appeal.
Asked twice if he had full confidence in Mr McNicol, Mr Corbyn repeatedly stated: "I have been happy to work with Iain McNicol since I became leader."
The Supreme Court said it would have cost about £1,000 for the case to be heard.
Ms Fordham had said it would cost about £8,000 "for getting the case even heard", but it was not clear if she was also referring to lawyers' fees.
BBC political correspondent Alex Forsyth examines it for clues on how events may unfold over the next two years.

What's the significance? This is all about the timing of the talks and is likely to be a key point of contention. The EU Commission's chief negotiator Michel Barnier has made his view clear - the UK and the EU should agree the terms of the UK's withdrawal before negotiating any future trade deal. He's said "putting things in the right order" maximises the chances of reaching an agreement.
However the UK Government takes a different view - one Theresa May chooses to reiterate several times in this letter.
She says the divorce and the new relationship should be discussed at the same time, in fact saying the government thinks it's "necessary" to agree the withdrawal alongside the future relationship. This is shaping up to be the basis of an early row if both sides stick to their positions. How it's resolved could be interesting in setting the tone for the rest of the negotiations.
What's the significance? When Theresa May gave her first in-depth insights into her vision for Brexit in a speech at Lancaster House earlier this year, she said "no deal for Britain was better than a bad deal". That led to much talk about what "no deal" would mean - for both the EU and the UK.
In today's letter, the prime minister didn't explicitly repeat what she said previously. Instead, Mrs May reiterated that the UK wants to agree a "deep and special partnership with the EU", and failure to do so would weaken cooperation in the fight against crime and terrorism.
Rather than threatening to walk away, the prime minister is attempting to highlight the mutual benefits to both the UK and the EU of reaching an agreement about their future relationship - and warning of the dangers if that doesn't happen. It's a carrot rather than a stick, albeit one that comes with a health warning.
What's the significance? At the start of a negotiation, tone is key.
Theresa May is about to enter one of the most significant negotiations of any prime minister . In this letter, she deliberately avoids an aggressive stance.
She sets out how the UK is the EU's closest friend and neighbour and why a continuing relationship between the two is essential to both. Rather than make threats or set out red lines, Mrs May strikes a positive and cooperative tone - more so than in the speech she gave about Brexit at the start of the year.
Given the time pressure and sheer complexity of this negotiation, and just what's at stake for all involved, the prime minister seems to be saying to her EU counterparts: let's work on this together. It might be welcomed by the EU, but some hard-line Brexiteers may want to ensure there's still a tough approach to the talks behind the more friendly tone.
What's the significance? Many EU citizens living in the UK, as well as Britons living abroad, have expressed concern about the impact Brexit may have on their rights. Theresa May came under pressure to unilaterally agree to protect those EU citizens living in the UK, but has repeatedly refused to do so, saying only it is important to get resolved early. The European Union has refused to discuss it before A50 was triggered - now that's happened Mrs May makes clear an early agreement on this issue is still a priority.
On this point the EU will agree - they too want this settled soon. But in today's letter, Mrs May acknowledges it is a complex area.
Both sides may want it resolved, but the specifics are likely to be an early - and possibly tricky - discussion.
What's the significance? Two years isn't a long time to rework a relationship that's lasted for more than four decades .
There are swathes of regulation and legislation to unpick, discussions on a whole host of issues from immigration, trade, workers' rights and environmental regulation. The outcome will have an impact on businesses, investors and individuals.
The prime minister again says she wants to avoid a "cliff edge" - a dramatic period of rapid change when the old rules cease to apply and the new ones start.
Instead she suggests a "phased implementation" where the new way of working, once agreed, can be brought in gradually to 'minimise disruption'.
Theresa May has talked of this before, but in the letter asks the EU to agree to this principle early on in talks. If it does, this effectively means the UK won't necessarily sever all ties with the EU when the negotiating period is up in two years' time. Instead there'll be a transition.
What's the significance? The UK has been clear for some time that it wants to replace single market membership with a good trade deal.
The letter doesn't offer a great deal more in the way of specifics; it doesn't even mention the customs union.
But it does say technical talks about an "ambitious deal" should start as soon as possible. There's no direct mention of the much-mooted "divorce bill" - billions of pounds some EU leaders have suggested the UK will have to pay on leaving in order to meet existing financial commitments.
The PM says there must be talk about a "fair settlement" of the UK's obligations as a departing member, although she makes clear that must be discussed at the same time as the UK's future partnership with the EU. The timetable is clearly key to the government - which wants to ensure it can start negotiating a trade deal soon.
Immigration was a key issue during the referendum campaign, and the PM made controlling migration from Europe to Britain one of her 12 Brexit priorities earlier this year.
However, there's no specific mention of immigration in today's letter. It refers to the "four freedoms of the single market" - one of those is freedom of movement.
It acknowledges the UK can't "cherry pick" between these; a reference to the warning from EU leaders in the past that if the UK wanted to remain a member of the single market it would have to accept the free movement of people.
Mrs May has already ruled this out in speeches in the past.
Leaving it out of the letter could be her way of saying it's not up for negotiation, or it could be a recognition that on free movement the EU's line is just as firm - so there's not much to talk about.
Either way, such a significant issue is conspicuous by its absence.
President Abdirahman Farole obtained the vote of 32 MPs, compared with the 33 of his rival, Abdiweli Ali Gas.
Mr Farole said he accepted defeat, saying the peaceful election was a model for the rest of Somalia.
MPs elects the president in Puntland, once the main base of Somali pirates.
Many of the pirates, who seize ships off the East African coast for ransom, have retreated to the south because of a government crackdown on them, says BBC Somalia analyst Mary Harper.
But the southern-based militant Islamist group al-Shabab is increasingly operating in Puntland, which is believed to be rich in oil reserves, posing a major security challenge to the incoming president, she says.
In December, Puntland officials blamed al-Shabab for a car bomb attack that killed seven people in the port city of Bossasso.
Mr Gas - who studied at several US universities, including Harvard - beat Mr Farole in the third round in which one ballot was spoilt giving him the 33-32 victory margin, local media reports.
Neither got a clear majority in the first two rounds.
Mr Gas becomes the fourth president of Puntland, which is far more stable than other parts of Somalia.
Mr Farole, who was president for five years, congratulated him on his victory, saying the election had been conducted in a "civilized" way.
"Puntland has shown the rest of Somalia and the world that the democratic culture is alive and well here and this is what must guide us as we rebuild our country," he added.
Mr Gas, the prime minister of Somalia in an interim administration from June 2011 to October 2012, said he welcomed the fact that Mr Farole had accepted defeat with "great dignity".
It is rare for East African leaders to step down without challenging election results.
As a former Somali prime minister, Mr Gas may be more willing than his predecessors to work with the UN-backed government in Mogadishu which is trying to unite Somalia after years of civil war, our correspondent says.
In August, Mr Farole said he had suspended co-operation with the federal government, accusing it of adopting a "defective" constitution.
The UN special envoy to Somalia, Nicholas Kay, welcomed Mr Gas's victory, saying Puntland was "leading the way on the development of a federal Somalia".
An analysis for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has suggested that workers under the age of 30 may not get a pension until the age of 70.
A second report, by John Cridland, proposes that those under the age of 45 may have to work a year longer, to 68.
The government is due to make a decision on both reports by May.
Ministers are under pressure to address the expected rise in the cost of pensions, which stems from longer life expectancy and the increasing ratio of pensioners to workers.
But at least six million people face the prospect of having to work longer.
Reality Check: Is lack of cash making women work past 70?
"This report is going to be particularly unwelcome for anyone in their early 40s, as they're now likely to see their state pension age pushed back another year," said Tom McPhail, head of retirement at Hargreaves Lansdown.
"For those in their 30s and younger, it reinforces the expectation of a state pension from age 70, which means an extra two years of work."
In an extreme scenario, experts from the Government Actuary's Department (GAD) said the state pension age could be raised as high as 70 as soon as 2054.
Under existing plans, the state pension age is due to rise to 68 for those born after 1978.
The "extreme" scenario involves an assumption that people spend 32% of their adult life in retirement. The conventional assumption until now has been that people will spend 33.3% of their lives in retirement.
In the worst-case situation, the GAD calculations also suggest that the change in the retirement age from 67 to 68 could be pulled forward by as much as 16 years.
So while that increase is not due to happen until 2044, it could be brought in as soon as 2028, affecting those now in their late 50s.
Former pensions minister Steve Webb was highly critical of the GAD's scenario.
"This is not what parliament voted for and is clearly driven by the Treasury. It is one thing asking people to work longer to make pensions affordable, but it is another to hike up pension ages because the Treasury sees it as an easy way to raise money," he said.
However, the other report, by the former CBI chief John Cridland, foresees more modest changes.
He recommends bringing the change from 67 to 68 forward by seven years, from 2046 to 2039. That would mean anyone currently under the age of 45 having to work an extra year.
The changes are due to be phased in gradually, over a two-year period in each case.
In addition Mr Cridland said there should be no up-rating from 68 to 69 before 2047 at the earliest, and that the pension age should never rise by more than one year in each ten-year period.
He also suggests that the so-called triple lock be ended in the next parliament.
Up to now the triple lock has guaranteed that the state pension rises each year by inflation, earnings or 2.5%, whichever is the highest.
However, by linking the rise in pension payouts to earnings alone, the bill for pensions would fall from 6.7% of GDP to 5.9% of GDP by 2066.
Mr Cridland also recommends:

The treatment is hoped to restore the natural sheen and colour of the white marble monument.
It will be the fourth time the 17th century mausoleum has had the treatment.
The last mud-pack was applied in 2008, but pollution levels around the monument remain high and officials say it needs cleaning again.
The Taj Mahal sits on the bank of the Yamuna River, at the city of Agra in India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh.
It was completed by the Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 as a mausoleum for his third and favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died giving birth to their 14th child.
The monument's complex structure of white marble domes and minarets inlaid with semi-precious stones and carvings is considered the finest example of Mughal art in India.
In 1983, the Taj Mahal became an Unesco World Heritage site and attracts millions of visitors each year.
But it also has to contend with pollution from the busy and industrial city of Agra and a nearby oil refinery.
"Due to increasing pollution in the city, the white marble is yellowing and is losing its sheen," B M Bhatnagar from the Archeological Survey of India told the Press Trust of India.
Mr Bhatnagar said the chemical department of the Archeological Survey has already begun the process to make the mud-pack.
The cleaning treatment is said to be based on a traditional recipe which is used by Indian women to restore a natural glow to their faces.
A 2mm-thick layer of lime-rich clay will be plastered over the affected areas of the monument and left overnight to dry, said Mr Bhatnagar.
"When it dries the flakes are removed from the surface with soft nylon brushes and washed with distilled water to remove impurities sticking to the surface," he said.
The marble mausoleum had been given this treatment three times in the past: in 1994, 2001 and 2008.
"In the last treatment, which cost around Rs. 10.4 lakh ($24,000), a team of two dozen experts had carried out the work in small sections over a period of six months to ensure that the tourist inflow does not suffer," said Mr Bhatnagar.
The 24-year-old Dane came off during Saturday's 2-1 friendly win over Wolfsburg after colliding with visiting goalkeeper Diego Benaglio.
It was a very different side to the one that lost 1-0 in Gibraltar.
Manager Brendan Rodgers said: "He's OK. He has spoiled his good looks for a few days, but he is fine."
"There was obviously a clash of heads and he's a bit swollen below the eye," he added.
Rodgers brought on 18-year-old Kristoffer Ajer to play alongside Eoghan O'Connell at the heart of the defence on Saturday.
Following an early deflected strike from Wolfsburg defender Paul Seguin, goals from Callum McGregor and substitute Ryan Christie gave Rodgers' side a win over the German Bundesliga visitors.
Midfielder Nir Bitton missed the game with a hip flexor problem.
"He was in a lot of pain yesterday," said Rodgers. "We didn't have to risk him and we will see how he is for Wednesday."
However, Rodgers insisted that he is more than covered in that area of the pitch as Stefan Johansen has shaken off an ankle complaint.
"He should be able to train on Monday," the manager said of the Norwegian. "He has had an injection in it which has settled it right down.
"The idea is he will make the first steps on Monday and we will see how he is for Wednesday.
"I don't need to worry about losing a midfield player. I think we have another 20 to pick from."
As the Loons were being held 1-1, Clyde recovered from losing a two-goal lead to beat Berwick Rangers 3-2 and move up to second, five points behind.
Arbroath missed a chance to go second with a 2-2 draw at Stirling Albion.
Elgin City slip to fourth after losing 1-0 to Annan Athletic, while Edinburgh City drew 1-1 at home with Cowdenbeath.
Although they remain bottom after a poor start to their first season in the Scottish Professional Football League, City stretch their unbeaten run to four games.
Kris Renton had headed the Blue Brazil into the lead before the break, but the home side rescued a point through Dougie Gair's 79th-minute equaliser.
Montrose, under Hegarty's assistant, John Holt, took the lead against Forfar through Gary Fraser after 29th minutes, but Danny Denholm headed home in first-half stoppage time.
Peter MacDonald's 23rd-minute free-kick gave Clyde the lead at Broadwood before David Gormley made it 2-0 just before half-time.
Greg Rutherford and Greg Hurst scored two goals in four minutes to draw Berwick level.
However, the Wee Rangers went down to 10 men when Darren Lavery was sent off for his foul on Scott Ferguson and the hosts took advantage with Chris Smith scoring an 81st-minute winner.
Stirling's Sean Dickson scored twice in added time to earn his side a stunning 2-2 draw with promotion-chasing Arbroath.
Steven Doris opened the scoring five minutes before the break for the visitors, who had Ricky Little sent off in the 52nd minute.
That looked to make little difference as Omar Kader made it 2-0 14 minutes later, but Dickson scored two quick-fire goals to secure a point.
Elgin dropped from second to fourth as they suffered a third consecutive defeat. David McKenna's fifth-minute goal secured Annan's first league win since 1 October.
Armed officers and a police helicopter were sent to the restaurant on St Andrews Quay at about 11:30 GMT after reports of gunfire.
Police said a blue Volkswagen Golf containing two people was fired at and its windows shot out.
Detectives said a grey Volkswagen Golf left the scene but two people were subsequently arrested.
Humberside Police said: "We know the registration plate of the outstanding vehicle and offenders."
The force believe it was an isolated incident, with the offenders and victims known to one another. No shots were fired by police.
Darren Woodhead was in the McDonald's drive through queue when the shooting took place.
He said: "I heard gunshots close to us and a car sped off out of the drive through.
"Within minutes police had arrived with pistols, then three police vans arrived with more heavily armed officers."
Officers cordoned off the scene for forensic examination of the area. | "Take me back, take me way, way, way back," Van Morrison whispers at the beginning of On Hyndford Street.

The deadly creatures are a daily concern for the 48-year-old, much more so than the wild elephants and buffalo that roam his property in the middle of the Kenyan bush.
And more of a worry than the risk of a lion wandering in from the nearby Tsavo East National Park, which isn't fenced off.
This is an isolated and harsh spot in southern Kenya. The nearest town - Voi - is a three-hour drive away along packed dirt tracks strewn with rocks and potholes.
It can be blazing hot, and you have to truck in everything you need - water, food, fuel and electricity generators. Your mobile phone will definitely not get a signal.
But what Mr Okenu's land does have, under its red soil, is a gemstone called tsavorite garnet.
A brilliant green colour similar to emerald, it is much in demand on the global jewellery market, particularly in Asia.
And while tsavorites may not be as expensive as emeralds, their wholesale price is still about $1,200 per gram (£800). So for Mr Okenu, it can be a lucrative business when times are good.
However, doing business "off the beaten track" inevitably comes with complications and difficulties, wherever you are on the globe.
We spoke to Mr Okenu and two very different, but equally remotely-based, small firms in other parts of the world about the challenges they have to endure while running their successful businesses.
Mr Okenu's mine is little more than a big hole in the ground, where he and his six employees toil with one jackhammer and some shovels and axes. He admits that it is a laborious process.
"What we lack is an excavator (digger)," says Mr Okenu, who has built two simple, small buildings with corrugated iron roofs to house him and his workers when they are on site.
"I know we are on the right track, but without the right equipment everything takes so much longer."
Yet getting the tsavorites out of the ground is not Mr Okenu's biggest challenge, instead it is selling them for a good price.
"There is no way we can get high prices locally," he says, complaining that dealers from China and Thailand base themselves in Kenya to buy up the local supply and sell it for twice as much in Asia.
Mr Okenu, who set up the mine a few years ago, after previously working as a safari tour operator, instead tries to sell his stones directly to overseas buys.
To promote himself, and find new customers, he maintains a Facebook page, which he updates when he visits his office in the town of Voi.
Yet exporting the stones is an expensive and time consuming business, as Mr Okenu has to first spend more than seven hours driving them to the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
He then has to take the stones to the Kenyan Ministry of Mines, where he has to fill out paperwork. The ministry then only gives him the stones back at the airport, where he can finally hand them over to a courier company for sending abroad.
Including his petrol and export taxes, he says the whole process can cost $200.
A world away in Canada's far north, hotelier Leo Martel also knows a thing or two about long-distance driving.
His hotel is based in a tiny former mining community called Keno City (population, 15), in the country's Yukon province.
At the end of a road known as the Silver Trail, it is a seven-hour car journey north from Whitehorse, the Yukon's capital.
"It's not a casual drive," says Mr Martel, 64, a retired carpenter from Quebec who fell in love with Keno City when he worked in a nearby mine, and decided to make it his home.
He bought the hotel eight years ago, and it is now open all year round.
Every couple of months he has to travel down to Whitehorse to stock up on everything the Keno City Hotel needs, such as huge quantities of fresh meat and produce for the freezer, canned food, and lots and lots of alcohol.
If the isolated location of the 10-room hotel was not enough of a commercial challenge for Mr Martel, you have to also remember that the Yukon gets brutally cold winters.
With mountains, lakes and forests it is a visually stunning part of the world, but winter temperatures can plummet to -30C or below for weeks on end.
However, Mr Martel says that for many visitors the hotel's very isolation is all part of the attraction.
He adds that most of his regulars are Yukon residents, so they are already used to the weather.
They primarily visit from Whitehorse (population 28,000), Dawson City (the Yukon's second largest conurbation, population 1,300), and the village of Mayo (population 400).
"Because we are in the middle of nowhere, people can have more fun," he says. "There's no kids around, we're at the end of the road, it becomes a little escape or a hideout.
"You feed people a couple of drinks and you never know what'll come out of them."
While the Keno City Hotel doesn't have an easy time buying its alcohol, 8,374 miles (13,477km) away in the South Atlantic the world's most isolated distillery faces a challenge in trying to sell its products.
The St Helena Distillery is based on the British Overseas Territory of the same time, a small island measuring just 47 sq miles (121 sq km).
The facility was opened in 2006 by Welshman Paul Hickling after he and his St Helena-born wife moved to the island from the UK.
The 57-year-old makes a range of products, including a gin, brandy, coffee liqueur, and a sprit made from St Helena grown prickly pears, the fruit of a cactus plant.
Mr Hickling's products are a hit with the 4,500 people who live on St Helena, but he'd like to increase exports.
The problem at present is that St Helena's only connection to the outside world is by the Royal Mail Ship St Helena, which takes five days to travel to Cape Town in South Africa.
And sending freight on the ship is expensive, costing £5,000 per container load of goods.
Thankfully for Mr Hickling, things are going to get significantly easier from next year, when St Helena's first airport is due to open.
In addition to making it quicker and easier to export things from the island, the air link is set to see the number of tourists visiting St Helena soar.
In preparation, Mr Hickling has already built a bar and restaurant above his distillery.
He says: "My spirits are reasonably priced, and I have the potential to make 180 bottles a day. It would be nice to be able to sell all of them."
Mr Justice Garnham, at the High Court in London, accepted that Andre Babbage was "likely" to abscond and offend.
But he said Babbage's continued detention was unjustified, because the home secretary was not going to be able to send him back to Zimbabwe.
Babbage has UK convictions for supplying cocaine, assault and robbery.
The Zimbabwean national, who was born in 1986 and came to the UK with his mother in 2003, had been in immigration detention since October 2013.
Lawyers for Home Secretary Theresa May argued that continued detention pending deportation was lawful.
The judge said that Babbage had "no right to remain in the UK" and had "committed serious offences in this country".
But he went on to say that Zimbabwe would only accept "returning nationals" if they had a passport or wished to return.
Babbage did not have a current Zimbabwean passport, and had repeatedly made it clear that he did not consent to being returned to Zimbabwe, Mr Justice Garnham said.
Therefore there was "no prospect" of deportation to Zimbabwe and continued detention "could not be justified", he ruled.
"It is my judgement that [he] would be likely, if released, to abscond and to commit further offences," the ruling said.
"The question which arises here is whether the Home Secretary can justify [his] continued detention when he has made it clear that he will not return home.
"My answer to that question is 'no'."
Babbage had been given leave to remain in Britain in 2007, the court heard.
In a period of about two years he built up a "serious criminal record", committing offences including supplying cocaine, harassment, criminal damage and theft.
In 2011, he was convicted of robbery, after a hearing at Woolwich Crown Court, and given a 30-month sentence.
Home Office officials made a deportation order in 2013 and he had been placed in immigration detention pending deportation.
Both sides had early chances in a bright start to the game as Northampton's Kenji Gorre spooned over and Amadou Bakayoko forced home goalkeeper Adam Smith into a fine save.
The breakthrough arrived on 24 minutes when Harry Beautyman delivered a pinpoint cross which Matty Taylor expertly guided into the far corner.
Beautyman twice went close to adding an immediate second, sending a low effort whistling wide and then shooting straight at Saddlers goalkeeper Neil Etheridge.
For Walsall, Kieron Morris screwed a long-range attempt wide and Scott Laird spurned a glorious chance to level when side-footing wide.
Etheridge brilliantly denied Alex Revell on two occasions in the second-half.
But he could do nothing about Northampton's killer second goal which came on 78 minutes when Revell confidently rolled home a penalty after Jason McCarthy had handled inside the area.

In a statement, it said the Pope would be in Cuba on "the invitation from the civil authorities and bishops of Cuba".
The pontiff is credited with helping bring about last December's diplomatic thaw after the decades-old enmity between communist Cuba and the US.
The US imposed had imposed a trade embargo soon after Cuba's 1959 revolution led by Fidel Castro.
In the statement, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi did not provide details how long the Pope's visit would last.
The 78-year-old Argentine pontiff will be the third pope to travel to Cuba, following visits there by John Paul II in 1998 and Benedict XVI in 2012.
"The presence of His Holiness in Cuba will be memorable," Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said.
"He will receive the warmest hospitality of the Cuban people."
The Roman Catholic Church has maintained relations with Havana since the revolution.
It also organised a series of secret diplomatic meetings to broker the US-Cuban rapprochement. The talks directly involved Pope Francis.
The pontiff himself is no stranger to Cuba - he was there during Pope Benedict XVI's visit, the BBC's David Willey in Rome reports. He is also the author of a book on Cuba.
After Cuba, he will continue his journey to Washington, New York and Philadelphia.
He is expected to address a joint session of US Congress and will also speak at the UN.
The Welsh, needing only a draw to clinch the European title for the first time in five years, all but secured victory by half-time with a 22-0 lead.
Dalton Grant, Lewis Reece, Steve Parry and Rhodri Lloyd scored first-half tries for John Kear's Wales side.
Elliot Kear added a second-half try for the visitors with Callum Mulkeen replying for Ireland late on.
Courtney Davies kicked 10 points for Wales, whose victory secured them the title at the expense of France, who defeated Scotland 32-18 earlier on Saturday.
Grant's try edged Wales ahead after Davies kicked a penalty deep into Irish territory.
And after Liam Finn and Elliot Cosgrove had both threatened the Wales line, the visitors broke away for a second try when Reece reacted first after Casey Dunne had dropped a high ball.
With Ireland wasting further promising attacking opportunities, they were made to pay with Parry and Lloyd both crossing for the Welsh before the break.
Kear punished more poor Irish defending in the second half as Davies added to his haul of kicked points.
Ireland's sole score came in the 72nd minute as Mulkeen touched down in the corner, but it was scant consolation for the well-beaten home side as Wales celebrated.

The tone appears to have shifted from previous campaigns, where teenagers were encouraged to visit temples and go home after dates instead of having sex.
Thailand has one of the world's highest teen pregnancy rates and rising numbers of sexually transmitted infections.
The campaign, slated to run until 2019, coincides with recent measures aimed at addressing teen pregnancies.
Authorities have encouraged condom use in previous years alongside the promotion of abstinence.
But this year they said they would focus on reducing social stigma on using condoms, as well as increasing access and improving the quality of condoms available.
Thai health ministry spokesman Thongchai Lertwilairattanapong said on Thursday: "Teenagers, especially, do not have to be embarrassed about buying condoms."
"Society also has to accept that teenage girls buy condoms, which is better than more teenage girls getting pregnant," Reuters quoted him as saying.
Thailand still remains a conservative society, but has been struggling with high adolescent pregnancy rates in recent years.
More than 50 out of every 1,000 Thai girls aged 15 to 19 give birth each year.
A survey last year of Thais aged 15 and older found that nearly half of them were too shy to buy condoms, reported the Bangkok Post.
The paper also said the number of sexually transmitted infections had doubled over the last decade, with a five-fold increase in 10 to 19 year olds. About 450,000 people in Thailand are HIV positive.
The government recently passed a bill focussing on better sex education and easier access to condoms for teenagers, as well as providing better assistance to young mothers.
Previous campaigns have seen officials urging teenagers to visit Buddhist temples instead of having pre-marital sex on Valentine's Day. In 2014, the day coincided with Macha Bucha, considered a holy day in Buddhism.
The culture ministry also launched a "Just a Meal for Valentine's Day" campaign encourage teenagers to go home separately after a dinner date, though the authorities still handed out free condoms.
The BBC understands that Ford, 71, broke his ankle in an incident involving a door at Pinewood Studios.
The Hollywood actor, who starred as Han Solo in the original three Star Wars films and is currently filming the new Episode VII sequel, was airlifted to John Radcliffe Hospital, in Oxford.
A spokesman for Lucasfilm said filming would continue while he recuperates.
"Harrison Ford sustained an ankle injury during filming today on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII. He was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care.
"Shooting will continue as planned while he recuperates," a statement from the production company Lucasfilm said on Thursday night.
A spokesman for Thames Valley Police confirmed officers had been called to the studio, near London, just after 17:00 BST to reports a 71-year-old man had been injured in an incident involving a garage door.
"The man was airlifted to John Radcliffe Hospital with injuries which are not believed to be life threatening. The Health and Safety Executive is investigating," the force said.
A spokeswoman for South Central Ambulance Service said they were called to an incident involving "a door that had fallen."
Ford is set to be joined in the film by fellow original Star Wars series cast mates Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Peter Mayhew.
Academy Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow are also starring.
Star Wars: Episode VII will be the first in a new trilogy of films.
Chancellor George Osborne earlier said the decision to shoot Episode VII in the UK was "testament to the incredible talent in Britain" and meant "more jobs and more investment".
Jan Frylinck produced his maiden first-class century as the tourists reached 403-7 at stumps on day two, after the first day was washed out on Tuesday.
The middle-order batsman hit 158 off 179 balls at Cambusdoon New Ground, assisted by weighty knocks from Stephan Baard (88) and Christi Viljoen (77).
Scotland's Safyaan Sharif took three wickets in five balls in the 29th over.
The right-armed pace bowler finished with 3-63 off his 20 overs, after reducing Namibia to 88-3.
The tourists won the toss, elected to bat and Baard and Louis van der Westhuizen shared a first-wicket stand of 87.
But Sharif had Van der Westhuizen caught by Con de Lange for 43, and then inflicted consecutive golden ducks on Gerhard Erasmus - trapping him lbw with the fifth ball of the over - and Craig Williams when he edged to Kyle Coetzer at third slip.
Former South Africa Under-19 international Frylinck steadied the ship superbly, enjoying a fourth-wicket partnership of 111 with Baard before an inside edge from the latter saw him caught by Calum MacLeod off Richie Berrington.
Frylinck, who hit 20 fours and four sixes in total, continued his fine form alongside Viljoen, their fifth-wicket stand of 151 eventually ended when Frylinck was caught and bowled by Mark Watt.
Namibia captain Sarel Burger was then dismissed for a duck, edging Alasdair Evans' delivery into the hands of Matthew Cross.
Viljoen spooned the ball to extra cover and was caught by Craig Wallace to become Berrington's second victim, leaving Zane Green (25no) and JJ Smit (10no) at the crease.
Scotland team: Kyle Coetzer (captain), George Munsey, Calum MacLeod, Richie Berrington, Con de Lange (vice-captain), Craig Wallace, Matthew Cross, Safyaan Sharif, Mark Watt, Ruaidhri Smith, Alasdair Evans.
Simon Reynolds, of Farnham, Surrey, did not return to Sheffield Crown Court for the verdict on Thursday and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.
South Yorkshire Police launched a manhunt, and has since said Reynolds could have fled to the continent.
He was vicar at All Saints Church in Darton when the thefts happened.
Judge Julian Goose QC said Reynolds had disappeared from court at lunchtime even though his bail rules did not allow him to leave the building.
He was found guilty of four counts of theft in his absence.
The Bishop of Wakefield, the Rt Rev Tony Robinson, said he was concerned for the welfare of Reynolds and urged him to "come back to face the people in Sheffield".
He added: "For someone to abscond in this way they mustn't be in a great mental state and we want to assure Simon that we'll do all we can to support him."
Reynolds, of Upper Church Lane, was accused of keeping an estimated £24,000 of fees handed over by bereaved families and engaged couples when he was priest-in-charge of the church near Barnsley.
The trial had previously heard money from three of the thefts should have been sent to the Wakefield Diocesan Board of Finance for marriages, funerals and graveyard memorials.
The fourth count of theft relates to payments for monuments that should have gone to the parochial church council.
The court was told an investigation showed Reynolds had only passed on a fraction of what he should.
Suspicions were raised after Reynolds left Darton in 2013 to take up a new post in the Diocese of Guildford.
McGeehan was booed by a section of home fans as he was carried off on a stretcher at Fratton Park on Monday.
Luton manager Nathan Jones said some supporters showed a lack of "class" towards midfielder McGeehan.
"If they knew what they know now, they would be generally disappointed with how they reacted," Cook said.
"It's a sad incident for Cameron, he's got a very bright future in the game," the Portsmouth manager told BBC Radio Solent.
"The incident (McGeehan being treated on the pitch) went on for some time and I think people got caught up in the clamour.
"It was a moment I don't think our fans realised the extent of the boy's injury. By the time they had, it was obviously too late and we've let ourselves down, there's no issue about that.
"We feel everything as a club and, as a club, we don't want to be letting ourselves down. We want people to speak about us really well.
"All we can do is apologise for our behaviour in that moment and wish Cameron a speedy recovery."
The move prevents the Prison Officers' Association from asking members in England and Wales to withdraw from "voluntary tasks".
The POA said withdrawal from voluntary roles was not industrial action or a breach of discipline.
But the government argued the POA plan broke the law banning prison officers from taking industrial action.
The tasks the POA planned to withdraw included suicide prevention, first aid, control and restraint, and hostage negotiation.
Reaching his decision, Mr Justice Leggatt said: "It seems to me that the evidence indicates the proposed action constitutes industrial action."
The details of the injunction are now being discussed.
What is going wrong with the prison system?
The 'poster child' of super prisons
Watch: Prison chaos uncovered by Panorama
The POA's plan follows a dispute over pay and pensions and surging levels of violence behind bars.
Last week, ministers said pay rises of up to £5,000 would be given to some officers at 31 prisons in London and south-east England with recruitment problems.
But the POA said the pay rise had "incensed" its members, many of whom would not benefit.
In November, thousands of prison officers staged a 24-hour strike because of health and safety concerns.
The High Court ordered the POA to suspend the protest and talks later took place with the government, focusing on pay and pensions.
The Ministry of Justice announced last month that the National Offender Management Service would be scrapped and replaced with a new prison and probation service aimed at cutting crime and reforming offenders.
Shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon said: "The Tories' complacent attitude to relations with prison staff suggests they are still not serious about resolving the crisis they have created in our prisons."
Beneath a grotto of the Virgin Mary, lie flowers and teddy bears left by well-wishers in memory of the children of unmarried mothers, described at the time as "fallen women".
It is believed nearly 800 children are buried in the grounds of what was once a mother and baby home run by nuns in Tuam, County Galway.
A child died nearly every two weeks between the mid-1920s and 1960s.
After world-wide publicity, the Irish government announced there is to be a state-wide investigation.
Although the terms of reference of the inquiry have yet to be finalised, they will include the high mortality rate and burial practice at mother and baby homes.
The inquiry will also ask whether clinical drug trials were carried out on children and whether there were forced adoptions.
JP Rodgers was born in the Tuam home and has written two books about his forced separation from his mother.
She was put into care for begging when she was less than three-years-old and spent most of her life in Catholic Church-run institutions until she ran away to England when she was 34.
Her son was fostered when he was five and spent a happy time with his new family but his mother never gave up hope of them being re-united.
Eventually, after decades apart, they were reunited.
"The day we separated she cut off a lock of my hair as a keepsake and she vowed that no church or state would be able to claim her son as long as she kept his hair", he said.
"Growing up I knew there was something radically wrong with Irish society.
"It was wrong for any church to separate a mother from her infant. You can't commit a greater crime against humanity."
The Ireland at the time was anything but a true republic.
One faith, Christianity and the Catholic Church in particular, dominated so many aspects of life.
Sex outside marriage was more than just a sin. The domination of the church was one in which the state and the people at the time willingly colluded.
The victims were not just women and young girls who got locked up because they were pregnant.
We now know from recent state reports they included children - the victims of institutional and clerical child sex abuse.
Dr Lindsey Earner-Byrne, an historian at University College Dublin, has studied the period and said the new Irish state set itself up as a bastion of Catholicism and moral purity in opposition to its former master, Britain.
But she said a high price was paid for that puritanical intolerance.
She said: "It was black and white and if you deviated you were ostracised. And one way of deviating was having sex outside marriage.
"So, women who did paid the highest price along with their children - and that was to be relegated to an institution or to take the boat to Britain."
The Tuam grave issue is something the people of the County Galway town have given a lot of thought to.
One woman said that as, a single mother, a midwife asked her whether she wanted to give her son up for adoption as recently as 22 years ago.
Another said: "The church got away (with it) for so long and it's not right".
But an elderly man took a different view: "We all knew about the home for unmarried mothers and pregnant ladies.
"The babies had to be buried somewhere. It was a sign of the times."
In this whole affair, little has been said about the role of men in fathering children outside marriage.
Others said we are seeing the past through the prism of the present.
But how much has changed?
Some might say: "Not much".
As recently as 2012, more than 100 children in Irish state care were reported missing in the five-year period up until then.
The Catholic Church has declined to be interviewed by the BBC.
A spokesman for the Beauty and the Beast star confirmed the pictures - which show her trying on various outfits - were stolen.
"Photos from a clothes fitting Emma had with a stylist a couple of years ago have been stolen," her publicist said.
"They are not nude photographs. Lawyers have been instructed and we are not commenting further."
News of the theft comes a week after Watson sparked fierce debate over whether she was anti-feminist for exposing part of her breasts in a Vanity Fair photoshoot.
The actress was previously threatened in 2014 with a leak of nude images, after a speech she gave on gender equality as a UN Ambassador for Women.
Speaking at a Facebook event in 2015, she said: "I knew it was a hoax, I knew the pictures didn't exist.
"The minute I stepped up and talked about women's rights I was immediately threatened - within less than 12 hours I was receiving threats."
Last month, a man in the US was jailed for nine months for hacking into the online accounts of celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence, and stealing private information, including nude videos and photos.

Nicola Sturgeon stressed that any hate crime in the wake of the tragedy was "totally unacceptable".
She was speaking after observing the Europe-wide minute silence at the Glasgow Central Mosque.
A total of 129 people were killed in Paris when gunmen targeted restaurants, a concert hall and the Stade de France.
The Scottish government's international development minister, Humza Yousaf, is among those to have been subjected to abusive comments on social media in the days since the atrocities, including posts accusing him of being a terrorist sympathiser.
The Glasgow MSP has reported Twitter and Facebook abuse to the police, who are investigating.
In a post on his Twitter feed, Mr Yousaf thanked people for the numerous messages of support he had received, and urged anyone else who had been the victim of a hate crime to report it to Police Scotland.
Police Scotland's Deputy Chief Constable Iain Livingstone said that his officers had dealt with a number of crimes motivated by religious hatred since the Paris attacks.
Three men, aged 25, 26, and 29 were arrested in Glasgow on Saturday for an alleged racial breach of the peace. In a separate incident, a 43-year-old man was detained in Clydebank on Sunday in connection with a similar offence.
Police Scotland said a 19-year-old man had also been arrested on Saturday in connection with the Communications Act.
There is absolutely no place for bigotry and prejudice in Scotland and this government is clear that any form of hate crime is totally unacceptable
Ms Sturgeon was at the mosque the day before a group of refugees from Syria were due to arrive in Scotland.
She said: "These people are fleeing the terror of Isis, that's why as a community and in co-operation with other countries we have a part to play in dealing with the refugee crisis."
Ms Sturgeon said the refugees coming to the UK through the Syrian Vulnerable Peoples Relocation Scheme had "undergone stringent security checks".
She added: "There is absolutely no place for bigotry and prejudice in Scotland and this government is clear that any form of hate crime is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated in 21st Century Scotland.
"I urge people not to let these terrorists win by dividing us and driving a wedge between the multi-cultural society Scotland is home to.
"We are stronger when united and that is one of our strengths.
"We are due to welcome Syrian refugees to Scotland tomorrow and we need to show that we are a country of compassion and acceptance."
General secretary of Glasgow Central Mosque, Nabil Shaikh, supported the first minister's statement and added that "these crimes are not in the name of Islam".
He added: "We need to educate people that whilst they [Islamist terrorists] might go around hijacking our religion to serve their own causes, this has nothing to do with Islam and we do not consider them Muslims."
Flags at Scottish Government buildings and at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh were flown at half mast as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives.
Ms Sturgeon said the minute silence had been observed in Scotland and across Europe and was was "a clear indication that we all stand in solidarity with France".
She went on to praise Scotland's Muslims as a "valued and integral part of our society".
A total of 23 people have been arrested early on Monday and dozens of weapons seized in a series of raids on suspected Islamist militants across France, officials have said.
Belgian police also carried out raids in Brussels.
Mariesha Payne, from Perth, who as among other Scots caught up in terrorist attacks, has given further interviews to the BBC.
She escaped after hiding for three hours in a cellar at the Bataclan concert hall.
She said: "It was just the most cowardly thing, to walk in and shoot people in the back.
"They don't discriminate. There were people of all religions, all races, in that building, all having a good time, uniting together in music and that is the last thing you expect to happen to you."
Liz Truss said the growth of the prison population is down to more criminals serving time for violence and sex crimes.
She argued for early intervention and better reforming inside prisons, but not shorter sentences.
Her speech comes as secret filming for the BBC revealed chaos in one of the biggest prisons in the country.
Speaking to the Centre for Social Justice, Ms Truss said: "Reductions by cap or quota, or by sweeping sentencing cuts are not a magic bullet, they are a dangerous attempt at a quick fix."
The most recent figures put the population of inmates in England and Wales at 85,523 - an increase of almost 90% since the 1990s.
Of those, the Prison Reform Trust calculates an average of 20,000 prisoners are held in overcrowded conditions.
But Ms Truss said it was a "counsel of despair" to say prisons are "too full". Instead, she said the answer to crowding was reform.
In 2016, 119 people killed themselves in prisons in England and Wales - the highest number since records began in 1978.
Taking questions following her speech, Ms Truss said she would be meeting with the family of Dean Saunders, who died in Chelmsford Prison after he was found electrocuted in his cell.
Put prisoner safety first, charities say
What is going wrong with the prison system?
A BBC Panorama investigation, which involved secret filming in HMP Northumberland, has highlighted the scale of the problems facing prisons.
An undercover reporter discovered widespread drug use, a lack of control, door alarms that did not go off in one block and a hole in an internal security fence.
The Ministry of Justice said it would investigate the "extremely serious allegations" at the Acklington jail.
Ms Truss said targeting sexual offenders more effectively had increased the number of prisoners.
Since 2000, there has been a 140% increase in sex offenders being sent to prison and a 50% increase in the length of sentences for sex crimes.
Ms Truss said current sentence lengths "better reflect the severity" of certain crimes like domestic violence, rape and child abuse.
She argued prison numbers will go down through earlier intervention from the courts and if prisons get better at reforming offenders.
The current rate of re-offending within a year of conviction is 25.3%. The justice secretary called this "appalling".
Ms Truss rejected calls to reduce the number of prisoners in England and Wales by half, warning such a move would be "reckless" and would "endanger the public".
She said: "We also need to get better at intervening earlier by giving our courts the right tools for reform.
"There can never be an excuse for committing crime but too often people end up in prison because our interventions to tackle problems like drug addiction or mental health issues don't work as well as they should.
"Community sentences are most effective when they tackle the problems that contribute to the offender's crime."
The justice secretary said the Prison and Courts Bill - due to be published this month - will "enshrine in law that reforming offenders is a key purpose of prison and that the Secretary of State has a responsibility for delivering it".
"This will usher in the biggest reform of our prisons in a generation. It will transform our prisons from offender warehouses to disciplined and purposeful centres of reform," she added.
Study for a Portrait 1953 exceeded expectation as Christie's had valued the masterpiece at £11m.
The oil canvas, which has not been up for auction before, was described as "an arresting and dark study in the degradation of power".
It was previously owned by two of Bacon's contemporaries - Rodrigo Moynihan and Louis Le Brocquy.
The work was the second most valuable piece to be sold at one of Christie's post-war and contemporary art sales, a spokesperson said.
The highest selling work in this category was Bacon's Triptych, which went for £26.3m in February 2008.
Other items sold at Tuesday's auction included Lucian Freud's Woman Smiling, 1958-59, which went for £4.7m. Seven works from the collection of Kay Saatchi went for a total of £3.9m.
Although investment in Heathrow is not in doubt, Ferrovial chairman Rafael del Pino said he saw "no opportunities" in the UK, Spain's ABC newspaper reported.
Brexit may even have "positive side effects", including a more favourable view of Heathrow expansion, he added.
The comments referred to future merger and acquisition deals, Ferrovial said.
A public consultation on a third runway at Heathrow ends on 25 May.
Later this year or early next year, MPs are expected to be asked to vote on the runway. It would end decades of debate over how to expand airport capacity in south-eastern England.
Ferrovial also owns stakes in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Southampton airports.
Those businesses help make the UK one of Ferrovial's most important markets, with about 30% of its revenue generated in the country.
However, Mr del Pino is taking a "prudent" attitude to the UK.
"Nobody, not even the UK, knows how the process and consequences will be carried out," he said.
The locally recruited TA soldiers marched from the Cenotaph to a church service in Carrickfergus on Saturday morning.
The event also commemorated a World War Two battle in which the regiment's forerunner, the North Irish Horse, played a pivotal role in breaking through German lines in Italy in May 1944.
The squadron's commanding officer, Major Mark Gannon, said: "This is the first time that we've paraded as a squadron of that regiment.
"It's a very proud history that we have with the North Irish Horse which dates back to 1944 for this particular event.
Major Gannon said the regiment had been given permission by the Canadian army to feature the maple leaf on its uniforms in honour of the "sacrifice and commitment that was made" by the regiment's soldiers.
A new laboratory in the Thai capital Bangkok, equipped to gather DNA from elephant tusk, rhino horn and tiger skin, is on the front line in an increasingly desperate effort.
The move comes as wildlife trading moves into the major league of lucrative international criminal activities including the trafficking of drugs and weapons.
Rapidly growing demand for animal parts believed to have cultural or medicinal value has fuelled soaring prices and created greater incentives for poachers and dealers.
The lab's aim is to "prove the link between the victim and the suspect and support prosecutions", according to the scientists running the facility.
Conservation groups say the slaughter of elephant, rhino and tiger, along with other threatened species, has reached alarming levels and that only a concerted and sophisticated campaign will help.
The developments highlight the weakness of the only global agreement to halt the trade in endangered species, the CITES convention, set up 40 years ago. The latest round of talks on CITES opened in Bangkok yesterday.
The lab, located within the Thai Department for National Parks, was set up with the support of the specialist wildlife groups Traffic and Trace and the regional environmental organization ASEAN-WEN.
Its director, Dr Kanita Ouitavon, says the first samples of animals and animal parts have been analysed for their DNA and that a genetic database of Thai species is gradually being built up.
"It is very necessary to have new technology in my work - when we want to know about confiscated animals or animal parts, we can now find out about species or sub species or even learn about family links, the origins, where they're from and how they're related," she said.
"The illegal wildlife trade involves low investment but high profit and because no one owns the animals or the land it's so easy to commit the crimes.
"So I can consider this lab is a useful tool to crack down on this trade. Using DNA can prove a link between the suspects and the animals."
The lab, with 10 staff, receives samples almost every week including segments of elephant tusk, rhino horn, entire tiger skins and pieces of fur and flesh from a host of other creatures.
Each sample is catalogued and photographed before extracts are run through a DNA sequencing process. For animal parts from outside Thailand, the sequences are checked against an international database.
Dr Ouitavon acknowledges that her team will need patience - and larger numbers of staff - to build up evidence against poachers and smugglers
She also highlights the reality of being a small band fighting some very powerful interests. The gangs are expert at securing support from within the authorities - for example, officers from The Royal Thai Police are regularly accused of aiding the trade or being involved in it themselves.
In fact, during our visit to the lab, news came through of the seizure, in southern Thailand, of a load of ivory in a van actually driven by a police captain.
Dr Ouitavon is open about the challenge she faces: "We know from the beginning that those who are behind the illegal wildlife illegal trade are mostly influential and powerful people," she explained.
"If there is no check and balance like our unit so the problem will be worse… sometimes it may succeed or it may fail. That's not the main point. The important thing is we do it and we try to fight against it."
Customs officers also acknowledge that the Thai authorities have for years been notorious for turning a blind eye to wildlife smuggling, making Thailand an easy 'transit route' between Africa and China.
Now they insist that their procedures and intelligence have led to tightening up of controls, with better international cooperation, encouraged by the World Customs Union, and X-ray scanners to search cargo. Samples of hauls are now routinely sent to the forensics lab.
None of the customs officers wanted to be interviewed but they described a long list of recent seizures:
The total haul of ivory between 2009-12 at Bangkok airport alone weighs about 7 tonnes and is valued at least $7m, they say.
The officers believe their clampdown is successful because the smugglers have been forced to try new routes. Rather than flying their goods directly from Africa, they are now routing it through the Gulf or Europe to try to avoid suspicion.
I was shown six crates packed with sections of tusk, all seized on a flight from Kenya. A total of 79 elephants had been slaughtered to produce this one sorry haul.
The customs officer who led the operation seemed genuinely upset by it. The ivory, he said, "smells like a dead body" - it did have an intense musty odour and was a depressing sight.
But with more than 70 flights landing with cargo in Bangkok every day, maintaining a total screening is virtually impossible. I asked if the police would help them in the task, a question that produced a shake of the head and laughter.
Given the accusations levelled at them, I asked for a police response. Captain Marc Suranartyuth acts as a liaison officer with Interpol. He says he believes passionately in the need to fight wildlife crime and is clearly embarrassed by cases of police involvement.
"If I saw that I would feel really bad," he said, "since we are the government officials so we do our best to protect and serve people in our country and try to cooperate to solve crimes.
"That's why we want to solve the problem not create a problem."
Mary Rice of the Environmental Investigation Agency, an NGO specialising in wildlife crime, says one problem with international efforts is a lack of political will to tackle the biggest figures in the trade.
"They're catching foot soldiers and occasionally they're also catching the middlemen but to my knowledge they've never gone after the kingpins, the people driving the crime," she told BBC News.
"Since 2009 there's been a huge escalation in poaching and the current populations of elephants, for example, can't possibly keep up with demand."
Forensic science can play a part in saving species from extinction but only if governments are genuinely determined to stop the crime in the first place.
Kicked off by Audi, the system aims to end the frustration of missing the arrival of a package being delivered to home or work.
Instead, Audi owners will be able to use their car as a shipping address for items ordered online.
A pilot project to test the system is planned to take place in May in Munich.
Using Audi's in-car communications system, Connect, DHL delivery drivers would track a customer's vehicle over a specified period of time and then use a digital access code to unlock the boot, the car maker said. This code would then expire as soon as the boot was shut.
The deliveries will be available only to customers signed up for online retail service Amazon Prime.
In March, the Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees US airspace, gave Amazon permission to carry out tests using unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, for its planned PrimeAir service.
Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (YWT) wanted to construct the building and car park at Spurn Point on the Holderness coast.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council rejected the plan citing concerns over flooding and the visual impact.
Dr Rob Stoneman, from the YWT, said he was "extremely disappointed" by the decision and said the trust would appeal.
"We've spent four years actually addressing all of the issues the council brought up today and they are obviously not convinced with our arguments," he said.
"That's democracy, we'll have to get on with that."
The planned centre would be sited at the top of the 3.5 miles (6km) long peninsula which is located at the mouth of the Humber estuary.
Spurn is only 50m (164ft) wide at some points and is home to seabirds and other wildlife.
In December 2013 a tidal surge in the North Sea swamped the land damaging parts of the road which connects the tip of the point with the mainland.
The proposals had attracted hundreds of objections from local residents complaining about the impact of the development on the village of Kilnsea and the surrounding area.
Council officers had recommended approval subject to conditions on building materials and landscaping around the building.
Alfred Barlow, 95, of Stockport, Greater Manchester, was returning from a pilgrimage to Normandy, France, on 8 June when he noticed they were missing.
He was at Norton Canes Services, near Walsall on the M6 Toll.
Mr Barlow said their loss was "very distressing" and he wanted to pass them on to his grandson "which makes it even more upsetting".
Mr Barlow said: "These medals are worth very little to sell, but to me they are priceless."
His wife and grandson noticed the medals were missing when Mr Barlow returned from the toilet.
His grandson retraced their steps and made enquiries in all the outlets as well as at the designated lost property depot but said they were nowhere to be found.
Mr Barlow served with 3rd Reconnaissance (Recce) Regiment, 3rd Division, and landed on Sword Beach at 10:00 BST on D-Day, 6 June 1944.
He said: "My grandson and friends in the Normandy Veterans Association have been fantastic in making contact with all possible options to see if they've turned up, but so far we've had nothing.
"That's why I want to get the message out to anyone who may have found or seen them."
Mr Barlow who turns 96 on 25 June said: "It would make my birthday if I was able to have them back again."
He is offering a reward to anyone who is able to help return the medals to him.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Blind Veterans UK charity.
For a man just back from the frontline, Badradeen Hassan seemed remarkably calm. One of the oddities of the conflict with IS is that combatants can be in the midst of fighting one moment, and then back home in less than an hour.
Mr Hassan serves with the Peshmerga, the Kurdish forces deployed in the countryside and villages north and east of Mosul.
He had returned to the Kurdistan Region's capital, Irbil, for a break, and wanted to share with me his belief that those currently allied against IS would soon turn on each other.
"There are threats against us from the Shia, especially from the Shia militias. For sure, they will declare a war against Kurdistan," he said, in a voice whose measured tempo belied the violent scenario he was predicting.
Mr Hassan fears that land currently controlled by the Kurdistan Regional Government will be claimed by those Shia militia groups. Some of it is rich in oil deposits and is also claimed by the central government.
"Even if it's one inch, there's no way we would let it go. A Peshmerga is willing to fight anyone."
I heard similar predictions of conflict from new arrivals at the Debaga camp for internally displaced people, in Irbil province.
The civilians may have been relieved to escape the fighting in and around Mosul, but few thought this would put an end to their troubles.
"After Islamic State has gone... it will be tribe against tribe," one told me. "There will never be security."
Another explained that as a Sunni, he no longer felt safe going into Shia areas, and blamed foreign interference for this division.
"Countries like Iran, like Turkey - they don't want Iraq to do well."
Refugees might be expected to feel anxious about the future, and so too soldiers who have recently been in combat.
Yet I heard similarly dire warnings in the calm surrounds of the Irbil-based think tank, the Middle East Research Institute, from its president, Dlawer AlaAldeen.
"There are armed groups, paramilitary groups, state and non-state actors," he says. "It's a recipe for disaster."
Mr AlaAldeen believes it is too simplistic to see conflict only through the Shia-Sunni-Kurdish prism, as these groups are now further fragmented, and operating in an environment where political leadership from Baghdad is weak or entirely absent.
Yet it is not as if the possibility of sectarian conflict has gone un-noticed; indeed desperate attempts are being made to avoid it breaking out.
The plan for the Mosul offensive, for example, was as political as it was strategic, aiming to make sure that Shia militias and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters never actually enter what is a predominantly Sunni city.
Meanwhile, the President of the Kurdistan Region, Massoud Barzani, made a rare visit to Baghdad recently, where he and Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi stood side-by-side, pledging to co-operate rather than fight.
"We don't believe in achieving our goals by violent means," insists KRG spokesman Safeen Dizayee. "Everything has to be by negotiation, to end this one century-old problem between Kurds and the rest of Iraq."
Recent history only seems to have aggravated divisions between Iraq's ethnic and religious communities, rather than ameliorate it.
"Mosul soon will finish, but I don't think we can live together," says Bzhar Dilan, a musician, record producer and well-known figure in Kurdistan's cultural landscape.
He insists he wants to be optimistic, but is highly sceptical when it comes to politicians' promises that there can be peace.
"They always say that," he scoffs. "But then it starts again. We as Kurds are used to this type of life - to be refugees, go from country to country, fight for our freedom... We have to continue."
The billion-dollar operation was run by Bank Rossiya, which is subject to US and EU sanctions following Russia's annexation of Crimea.
Evidence seen by BBC Panorama reveals for the first time how the bank operates.
Documents show how money has been channelled through offshore companies.
They suggest Sonnette Overseas, International Media Overseas, Sunbarn and Sandalwood Continental have profited from fake share transactions, bogus consulting deals, uncommercial loans and the purchase of under-priced assets.
The documents show that International Media Overseas and Sonnette Overseas were officially owned by one of the Russian president's closest friends.
Concert cellist Sergei Roldugin has known Vladimir Putin since they were teenagers and is godfather to the president's daughter Maria.
On paper, Mr Roldugin has personally made hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from the suspicious deals.
But documents from Mr Roldugin's companies state that: "The company is a corporate screen established principally to protect the identity and confidentiality of the ultimate beneficial owner of the company."
The cellist has previously told reporters that he is not a businessman. His involvement in the complex offshore deals will raise suspicion that he is simply acting as a front for someone else.
In one example, documents show that Sandalwood Continental bought an asset for just $1 (70p) and sold it three months later for $133m (£93m).
Sandalwood was also given $800m (£562m) of loans by a Russian state bank. There is no evidence in the documents of Sandalwood providing security for the loans or making repayments.
Tom Keatinge - who runs the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies - says the transactions appear to be evidence of money laundering.
"There's nothing that I have seen which would make me say anything other than 'Stop, we need to investigate very closely what's going on here.' Whether it's loans being written off with no apparent compensation, other than the dollar, or whether it's loans being assigned through multiple pairs of hands for no obvious reason."
The documents show that one of the Roldugin companies, International Media Overseas, borrowed $6m (£4.2m) in 2007. Three months later the loan was written off for just $1, so the cellist's company had been given $6m.
In another suspicious deal in 2011, International Media Overseas bought all the rights - including interest and repayments - to a $200m (£140m) loan.
International Media Overseas paid just a single dollar, even though the interest payments alone were worth $8m (£5.6m) a year to Mr Roldugin's company.
Andrew Mitchell QC, one of the UK's leading experts on money laundering, says the deals are highly suspicious: "There can't be a commercial basis for transferring $200m and the rights to $8m a year for a dollar."
International Media Overseas also failed to disclose Mr Roldugin's connection to the Russian president when it opened three bank accounts.
The application form for each account asked whether Mr Roldugin had any relations to so-called PEPs or Politically Exposed Persons. Mr Roldugin's forms said he didn't, which was clearly not true.
International Media Overseas was also involved in dozens of suspicious share transactions. In one scheme, the company sold shares to a broker who then sold them back at a lower price the next day.
Mr Roldugin's company always made a profit and the documents show that these profits were worked out in advance of the share deals.
International Media Overseas also profited from a scheme where share deals were set up and then cancelled before they took place. Mr Roldugin's company was then paid compensation for the failed deals.
The leaked documents show that the share purchase agreements and the cancellation agreements were signed at the same time, so there doesn't seem to have been any intention to genuinely buy or sell the shares.
Andrew Mitchell QC has seen the share transactions. He said: "This is not business, this is creating the appearance of business in order to continually move and hide assets".
The leaked documents show that Mr Roldugin's other company - Sonnette Overseas - had a secret interest in the Russian lorry maker called Kamaz.
In 2008, Sonnette paid $1.5m (£1m) to join a consortium that had an option to buy a company that owned a valuable stake in Kamaz.
The documents spell out what was expected from Mr Roldugin's company. They say Sonnette should ensure that plans to increase the consortium's stake in Kamaz "received most favoured treatment".
Sandalwood Continental appears to be at the heart of the suspected money laundering ring. It borrowed $800m (£562m) in a series of uncommercial loans from a state-owned bank, before lending the cash on to other companies.
The leaked documents show that some of the Sandalwood cash was loaned to a company which owns a ski resort that is popular with the Russian president.
Vladimir Putin opened the Igora resort in 2006 and went skiing there in 2011 and 2012. His daughter Katerina's wedding was held at Igora in 2013.
The company which received the money is now part owned by Bank Rossiya owner Yuri Kovalchuk, who was described as one of President Putin's cashiers when the US government placed him on the sanctions list.
Bank Rossiya has been described by the US government as the "personal bank for senior officials of the Russian Federation".
Mr Kovalchuk's lawyer said he did not understand why his client was being asked questions, when all information about Bank Rossiya that was subject to mandatory disclosure was available in public sources.
The fourth offshore company in the leaked files - Sunbarn - has also profited from a series of suspicious deals.
In one example, it was given shares by Bank Rossiya which it subsequently sold for $25m. In another example it received $30m (£21m) in consultancy payments for providing advice about investing and trading in Russia through a Cypriot company.
Sunbarn also received loans totalling $231m (£162m) from companies owned by or linked to another childhood friend of the Russian president - the billionaire Arkady Rotenberg. Once again, there was no security for the loans and no evidence of any repayment.
Around the time the loans were made to Sunbarn, one of Mr Rotenberg's companies was awarded a lucrative contract to work on a $40bn (£28bn) gas pipeline from Russia to Europe. The South Stream gas project has since been cancelled.
Bank Rossiya, Sergey Roldugin and Arkady Rotenberg have not responded to the questions put to them by the BBC.

The INCB says the law would "be in complete contravention to the provisions of the international drug treaties to which Uruguay is party".
Under the new law, the state would assume control of growing and selling cannabis to registered users.
The bill still needs to be passed by Uruguay's senate before becoming law.
The INCB is an independent body of experts established by the United Nations to monitor countries' compliance with international drug treaties.
In a statement released just hours after the bill was passed in Uruguay's House of Representatives, the INCB said that such a law would be in "complete contravention" of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, which bans the sale of cannabis for non-medical use.
It says that, if adopted, it "might have serious consequences for the health and welfare of he population and for the prevention of cannabis abuse among the youth".
The Uruguayan government argues that by bringing the sale of cannabis under state control, it will remove profits from drug dealers and divert users from harder drugs.
The bill was approved by 50 of the 96 MPs present in the House of Representatives following a fierce 13-hour debate in the capital, Montevideo.
The supporters of the measure argued that the fight against drugs and drug trafficking had failed, and the country needed "new alternatives".
"The regulation is not to promote consumption; consumption already exists," said Sebastian Sabini of the governing centre-left Frente Amplio (Broad Front) coalition, which has a majority of one in the lower house.
Marijuana use has reportedly doubled in Uruguay over the past years. An estimated 22 tonnes of marijuana are being sold in the country annually, according to Uruguay's National Drugs Committee.
But Gerardo Amarilla of the opposition National Party said the government was "playing with fire" given the health risks he said were linked to marijuana use.
The bill will now go to the Senate, where it is expected to be voted on in October. As the left-wing government has a majority in the Senate, the bill is likely to be approved and could become law before the end of the year.
However, opposition politicians have said that even if the law makes it through the senate, they will launch a petition to have it overturned.
A survey carried out before the vote by polling organisation Cifra suggested 63% of Uruguayans opposed the bill.
The INCB said it was interested in "maintaining a dialogue with the Government of Uruguay on this issue".
It also expressed its regret that the government "refused to receive an INCB mission before the draft law was submitted to Parliament for deliberation".
The vote comes amid fierce debate about drug legalisation in Latin America.
A group of former presidents and influential social figures, including Brazil's Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Mexico's Ernesto Zedillo and Colombian ex-leader Cesar Gaviria, have called for marijuana to be legalised and regulated.
But only last week, Pope Francis criticised drug legalisation plans during a visit to Brazil.
Speaking at the inauguration of a clinic for drug addicts in Rio de Janeiro, he said it was "necessary to tackle the problems which are at the root of drug abuse, promoting more justice, educating the youth with the values that live in society, standing by those who face hardship and giving them hope for the future".
Gary Christie, 38, from Cupar, was hit by a red Vauxhall Corsa at 06:50 on Tuesday 1 November on Carberry Road in Kirkcaldy.
Mr Christie sustained serious injuries and was taken to the Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, then later to the Edinburgh Western General Hospital where he died at 16:15 on Monday.
Mr Christie's family said: "He always put others first."
They added: "Gary was a loving and devoted father to his two sons, Lewis and Ryan.
"He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
"The family would like to thank staff at the Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, and the Western General, Edinburgh."
Sgt James Henry, of Police Scotland, said: "This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with Gary's family.
"We are still investigating this collision and would ask that anyone with information contact us as soon as possible."
The bus collided head-on with a goods vehicle near the city of Khairpur in Sindh province, officials say.
The bus was travelling overnight from Swat, in the north-west, to the port city of Karachi.
Deadly accidents are common on Pakistan's roads - often caused by reckless driving, poorly maintained surfaces or unsuitable vehicles.
The BBC's Shahzeb Jillani in Islamabad says that most of those killed in the accident early on Tuesday morning were women and children.
At least 15 people were injured - some seriously - and are being treated in hospital.
Medical Superintendent of the Khairpur district hospital Ghulam Jaffar Soomro told Geo TV that it looked as if the bus overturned at high speed.
Police say there were 65 passengers in the bus and that a morning fog which covered the highway at the time of the collision could have played a part in the accident.
The talks, involving the five main Stormont parties, begin on Wednesday.
Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly said his party was prepared to talk "right throughout the summer".
Gregory Campbell of the Democratic Unionist Party said despite difficulties they "shall try to make progress".
Six months of the Haass negotiations last year ended with no agreement on New Year's Eve. Further talks were announced earlier this month.
Mr Kelly told the BBC's Sunday Politics that talks should have taken place before now but there was an "opportunity there".
"I think all the issues are known, we need to crunch the issues together and we need to make progress, because everybody is looking at us to do that," he said.
Mr Campbell said that progress needed to be made but that the "portents are not good" and he mentioned a number of disputed parades.
"When you have the likes of Portadown, when you have Dungiven, when you have Ardoyne, those areas are areas where small numbers of unrepresentative groups in those communities are whipping up tensions, unnecessarily so.
"Issues, parades that should be low key that should be non-contentious, there are small groups of people trying to make them contentious."
Speaking on the same programme Stephen Farry of the Alliance Party said there had to be agreement.
"This is inescapable, we have to have an agreement," he said.
"There are difficulties at present and we need leadership from all sides to back away from confrontation," he said.
Meanwhile, Ulster Unionist Party member Tom Elliott has called for the talks to "focus on resolving contentious parades stalemate".
"We owe it to the people of Northern Ireland to do all we can to ensure that we have a peaceful summer," he said in a statement.
"That is why over the next number of days we would like to deal with parading first; focusing on resolving areas where there is still deadlock, such as the 12th of July feeder parade passing by the Ardoyne shops.
"This is particularly urgent given that the issues surrounding last year's parade remain unresolved."
Earlier this week, Alliance leader David Ford had said that if no dates were confirmed, his party would call on Downing Street to convene talks with the Northern Ireland Executive parties and the Irish government.
Former US diplomat Richard Haass urged politicians in Northern Ireland to "show leadership" in dealing with outstanding peace process issues.
Last year he chaired a talks process that ultimately failed to deliver consensus on outstanding peace process disputes in Northern Ireland.

A Dutch team is developing clever waders that enthusiasts can wear to find not only the ideal location to fish, but to collect key hydrological data for scientists.
Of most use to both groups would be waders that sensed water temperature.
Anglers know this influences where fish go in a river and, for researchers, it betrays details about the movement of water in that river and its chemistry.
"We need more data from more streams than we could possibly monitor with our sensor networks," explained Rolf Hut from Delft University of Technology.
"Wouldn't it be nice if we had citizens walking around in the water, interested in temperature because they want to know where the fish are, and at the same time providing us with the information we can use for our research?"
The data would be collected by a simple temperature probe in the wader boot. This would then travel up a wire to a Bluetooth device above the waist to be passed to a phone in a dry pocket.
The angler could use the information straightaway to decide where to stand in the river and cast their fly, while the scientists would receive the details back at the lab over the cell network for later analysis.
Dr Hut and his colleagues are interested in the study of hyporheic exchange, which describes how water moves into and out of a stream through its bed.
In dry periods, a stream will lose water into the ground; in wet periods, it will gain it - and where the water comes into the stream, it is usually much colder than what it is joining.
It used to be thought this was a fairly gradual process along a stream's entire length, but scientists now realise that the exchange in some locations is actually far more significant than in others.
The team's smart waders are in the earliest phase of development, but Dr Hut was able to demonstrate the concept at this week's European Geosciences Union General Assembly - albeit in the rather warm and dry setting of the meeting's poster hall.
Then there is the question of extending the range of sensors incorporated into the waders.
Rolf Hut added: "Why stop at temperature? What about water depth?
"For hyporheic exchange, it would be interesting to look at salinity; pH would be really interesting for water quality.
"And now there are sensors coming on the market that would do water quality parameters like nitrogen levels, dissolved carbon levels - that are really telling you how healthy a stream is.
"So that's not necessarily for hyporheic exchange, but for other fields of hydrology and water management. And that's in the interest of the fishers, by the way, because you need a healthy stream to have fish."
Dr Hut's attire at the meeting prompted a chuckle of two from fellow hydrologists, but also admiration for the ingenuity.
Nicholas Howden from Bristol University, UK, said: "Hyporheic exchange is a fascinating topic.
"For example, groundwater that comes into rivers tends to be very rich in base cations - the kind of stuff salmon need. They will spawn in gravel beds where there is upwelling.
"So, these are locations that are ecologically very important for the river."
The idea of the smart waders originated from a talk with Scott Tyler of the University of Nevada, Reno.

Joanne Lees, 43, returned to Australia as part of a TV special to search for Mr Falconio's body in the Outback.
Bradley Murdoch was convicted in 2005 of murdering Mr Falconio, 28, and assaulting Ms Lees, then 27, on a remote stretch of highway in July 2001.
Ms Lees revealed she met her sister, Jess, for the first time last year.
"I feel less alone in the world," she said of Jess, who is eight years younger. Ms Lees' father is Australian and the pair are estranged.
"When wonderful things happen in the world I want to share them with Jess."
Ms Lees and Mr Falconio, from Huddersfield, were about 200 miles north of Alice Springs, in the Northern Territory, when Murdoch waved down their camper van and shot Mr Falconio in the head.
Ms Lees was threatened with a gun, punched in the head and bound with cable-tie restraints before she managed to escape, hiding in bushes for hours while her attacker stalked her with a dog. She eventually flagged down a passing lorry.
Murdoch is believed to have hidden Mr Falconio's body, which has never been found, despite extensive searches.
In the interview with Nine's 60 Minutes programme on Sunday, Ms Lees said she was determined to find Mr Falconio's body.
"Pete lost his life on that night but I lost mine too," she said.
"I'll never be fully at peace if Pete's not found, but I accept that that is a possibility."
Ms Lees was shown on the TV special returning to the area where the killing took place, and saying she was prepared to step into her "attacker's mind".
"It's because I love Pete so much and I want to bring him home and I need to bring him home," she said.
Ms Lees described her new bond with Jess as "kind of mind-blowing".
"I have a strong connection to Australia because my father is Australian," she said.
"Although my father's not been in my life, I've always been aware of who he is and his nationality."
Ms Lees also plans to erect a giant silver falcon statue in the Outback town of Ti Tree to honour Mr Falconio's memory.
The town was the last happy place they shared together, she said.
"The falcon represents his spirit," she said.
When Breivik shot Mr Groennestad, the bullet punctured one of his lungs and narrowly missed his spine. On Monday, the student testified in court while the man who tried to kill him sat a few metres away. He spoke to the BBC's Lars Bevanger afterwards.
How would you describe the experience?
It [the court room] looks so much bigger on TV. That was strange, sitting so close to the prosecuted. And then having all these questions thrown at you by the court. Strange - that's the word I would use.
Because you haven't seen him since that day on the island?
No, I haven't been paying any attention to the news or been to the courtroom. I have three exams next week at university level, so I have to focus. So I've chosen to focus on school and just take things as they come.
Does it matter to you whether the court finds him sane or insane?
No, not really. Because I know that if he's found not accountable he'll be sent to psychiatric care for the rest of his life. But if he's found accountable I guess he would be in prison for the rest of his life as well.
The extent of the medical care he'll receive is the biggest difference. So for me it doesn't matter, because from what little law I know, I think he'll be locked away for the rest of his life.
Some survivors say they don't want to give Breivik any more of their time, how do you feel about him now?
In the beginning I had to go to a psychologist once a week; I had physiotherapy three times a week; I had weekly appointments with my doctor and then controls at the hospital. And I spent so much time on getting better.
Some nights I was sleep-deprived because I read the news and I read about him, so I've used a lot of energy on this man. and I'm just so happy because I've now done my duty, I've testified, I've done what I can do to get him in jail and now I'm hopefully just done with the whole thing.
I know there's going to be a lot of things in the media and so on, but I'm done with my part and I can just go back to be normal.
Will you ever go back to Utoeya?
Yes, I hope so. But only time will tell. We'll see.
It was set up as part of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 to review law and policy and make recommendations to the Scottish government.
Based in Inverness, it has five land commissioners, a tenant farming commissioner and support staff.
The commission will be holding events across Scotland to raise awareness about its functions.
Andrew Thin, the commission's chairman, said: "The commissioners and I have been in post for a few months and now the organisation is officially established we are really keen to get out and talk with everyone who has an interest in the work of the commission.
"We have published our interim corporate plan for 2017-18 which outlines the commission's priorities for the first year and how we will help to take the next step on the land reform journey.
"We are focused on driving land reform and working towards creating a fairer more inclusive Scotland, in which everyone has a shared interest in our land, and everyone looks out for the interests of others."
Land Reform Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said the new organisation will help to influence future developments in land ownership in rural and urban areas.
She said: "The membership of the commission reflects the fact that land reform impacts on every single person in Scotland, with members from cities, towns, rural areas and a dedicated tenant farming commissioner to deal with the specialised nature of this important area."
The commissioners are Mr Thin, Megan MacInnes, Prof David Adams, tenant farming commissioner Bob McIntosh, Dr Sally Reynolds and Lorne MacLeod.

This is a community council, where topics of discussion can range from national coffee prices to complaints about a farmer who lets his cows wander into the road.
There are more than 30,000 community councils in Venezuela, according to government figures.
These neighbourhood committees help to run government social projects and can apply for state funds for improvements to their local area.
Supporters of Venezuela's Bolivarian revolution, the name given by the late President Hugo Chavez to his brand of socialist government, believe that community councils are a new form of grassroots democracy.
But critics say they are part of a parallel state, which is unaccountable and undermines Venezuela's democratic institutions.
Guadi Garcia comes from a family of rural labourers. She says the community council has given them a voice.
"It's a way of organising ourselves so we can channel our demands to the government," she says. "It's participatory democracy."
The community council has helped get a new school and better homes for villagers.
Most people in Monte Carmelo back the socialist government of President Nicolas Maduro and his PSUV party but opposition supporters also participate in council meetings, she says.
In the neighbouring village of Palo Verde, the split between government and opposition supporters is more evenly balanced.
But unusually for a country as politically polarised as Venezuela, both sides work together.
The community council helps to run a local clinic, which is part of a government scheme that puts doctors in poor areas.
It is held on the porch of Maria Torres' home.
Ms Torres supports the opposition and is a spokeswoman for the council.
"We don't care what party anyone belongs to, we are all working together for the community," she says.
But council members here are unhappy because their responsibility for distributing desperately needed state-subsidised food to villagers has recently been taken over by the PSUV's electoral campaigning wing, the Unidades de Batalla Bolivar-Chavez (UBCh).
They allege that this organisation has been withholding food from people who voted for the opposition in parliamentary elections held in December.
Milagro Colmenares is a PSUV member but says she was angered by what she saw other PSUV members doing.
She says that even though the UBCh brought about 300 food vouchers, the council was given fewer than 30 to feed 120 families.
"We made a complaint about this because food is something sacred, food should be for everyone," she says, but they have not yet received a response.
Locals say that since their complaint food distribution has become fairer.
The case illustrates the arbitrary and makeshift nature of Venezuela's new local power structures.
Margarita Lopez Maya is a professor at the Central University of Caracas.
She says that when the community councils were first set up they had to report to the elected local municipalities.
But after 2006, when President Chavez's socialist revolution entered a more radical phase, they started reporting directly to the presidency.
Prof Lopez Maya says that with the responsible power far away in Caracas, accountability was lost.
"The government began building a state that was parallel to the state outlined in the constitution," she says.
Under new laws passed by the socialist government, the councils were given more and more powers, by-passing the traditional municipal and regional authorities, she says.
Some people have been pressured by their neighbours to join the PSUV and then become council members so that their council stands a better chance of getting funds, she alleges.
Freddy Guevara, an opposition lawmaker in Venezuela's National Assembly, is also convinced that the government favours councils which back it politically.
"It's a good idea that's been perverted and used only to subjugate the people to the will of the ruling party," he says.
He says that because the definition of what constitutes a community council is not clear, the government can pick and choose which ones it recognises and which ones it does not.
"You can be elected by your neighbours and follow all the steps outlined in the law, but the government has the last say," he explains. "If it doesn't recognise you, you can't have funds, you can't do anything."
Stokes gave Hibs the lead early in the second-half after being played in by John McGinn, drilling his shot from the edge of the box under Derek Gaston.
Morton had chances to get back into the match, but could not find an equaliser.
The result keeps Hibs within eight points of Championship leaders Rangers with a game in hand on their rivals.
James Keatings went closest for Hibs in the first half, his close-range header kept out by a great save from Morton keeper Gaston.
McGinn shot over after the break at Cappielow and Stokes shot wide shortly after his 47th-minute strike
Gaston then saved from Liam Henderson as Stokes' goal proved enough to give Alan Stubbs' side all three points.
So high are its peaks in some places that certain areas are accessible only by helicopter. The republic is also famed for its ethnic and linguistic diversity, being home to more than 30 languages.
Several dozen Muslim peoples have settled among the high valleys over the centuries.
The Avars form the largest ethnic group and account for about a fifth of the population. A further substantial proportion is made up of Dargins, Kumyks and Lezgins. About 10 per cent are ethnic Russians. There are also Laks, Tabasarans and Nogai, to name but a few of the other significant groups.

The republic's constitution declares the protection of the interests of all of Dagestan's peoples to be a fundamental principle. It is a delicate balance to maintain, in what is Russia's most ethnically diverse province.
The republic has oil and gas reserves and also the fisheries potential offered by a share in the resources of the Caspian sea. However, it is prey to organized crime and regional instability. The crime barons may prosper but the people are amongst the poorest in Russia.
Dagestan was the birth place of Imam Shamil, the legendary fighter who in the 19th century spearheaded fierce resistance by tribesmen of Chechnya and Dagestan to the spread of the Russian empire. His name is still revered by many in both republics.
When the Bolsheviks sought to enforce control in the Caucasus in the early 1920s, Dagestan became an autonomous Soviet republic within the Russian Federation. During the Stalinist period, its peoples escaped the mass deportation inflicted on their Chechen neighbours and many others.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the republic's authorities stayed loyal to Russia, but the region became infamous for its lawlessness and corruption. Organised crime is reported to flourish and kidnappings and violence are commonplace. Firearms are ubiquitous and assassinations are a regular event.
Moscow blames much of this on Chechen-based separatism, but others say lust for profit, combined with a gun culture, is the root cause.
In the 1990s, separatist warlords from neighbouring Chechen openly led armed operations in Dagestan on several occasions. In 1995 and 1996, they seized hundreds of hostages in hospitals in the Dagestani towns of Budennovsk and Kizlyar. Scores died in the attacks.
Dagestan's Muslims, who tend to follow sufism combined with local tradition, generally steered clear of Chechen-style separatism, but after the late 1990s, radical and militant elements said to be linked with the more fundamentalist wahhabist tendency began to gain in influence.
In August 1999, an Islamic body declared an independent state in parts of Dagestan and Chechnya, and called on Muslims to take up arms against Russia in a holy war.
Chechen fighters crossed into Dagestan in support, but within a few weeks, Russian forces had suppressed the insurrection.
The republic has seen numerous bombings targeted at the Russian military stationed in the republic.
Russia accused Dagestani militant Magomed Vagabov of being behind an attack on the Moscow metro by two female suicide bombers from Dagestan in March 2010, in which 39 people died. In August 2010, Russian forces killed Vagabov in Dagestan.
The pilot was forced to take evasive action during the incident which happened at about 13:10 on Friday.
The unmanned craft was flying about 20-30 metres away from a Loganair flight from Shetland at about 4,000ft.
No-one was injured and the plane successfully landed. Police believe the drone may have been piloted from the Bathgate or Armadale area.
The force is reminding all drone users to operate their crafts within the guidelines set out by the Civil Aviation Authority.
Ch Insp Barry Blair, of Police Scotland, said: "The pilot was forced to take evasive action to avoid a collision whilst preparing to land the plane. Had these aircraft collided the consequences could have been far more serious.
"We are working alongside the aviation authorities to identify the pilot of the drone and determine the full circumstances surrounding this incident.
"Drone users are reminded only to operate their crafts within the guidelines set out by the Civil Aviation Authority and should consult the legislation should they have any queries about appropriate drone use."
A spokesman for Edinburgh Airport said: "People should be in no doubt of the seriousness of this issue. We would ask that all users understand the legislation and guidelines surrounding drone usage and behave responsibly."
A study of grey seal pups on the Isle of May found those given the hormone would also stay close to each other.
The University of St Andrews team said the effects of the hormone lasted for days despite the small doses given.
Oxytocin is known to forge emotional bonds between romantic partners, and mothers and newborn babies.
The experiment was conducted among wild newly-weaned grey seals in the Firth of Forth.
Adult seals were not considered suitable for the study because of the possibility that they were already socially connected, and their large size and aggressiveness.
Study leader Dr Kelly Robinson wrote in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: "Seals given oxytocin spent significantly more time in close proximity to each other, confirming that oxytocin causes conspecifics (same species members) to seek others out and remain close to one another.
"Aggressive and investigative behaviours also significantly fell after oxytocin manipulations."
The scientists concluded: "Oxytocin manipulations have been subject to intense interest in the last decade due to the widespread occurrence of oxytocin in mammals, its far-reaching effects on behaviour including parental and social bonds and the potential to use the hormone to treat human psychological conditions.
"Despite this, no study has confirmed that behavioural changes that occur in laboratory manipulations also occur in natural environments, and many administer doses of oxytocin far exceeding endogenous levels.
"We show that manipulation studies are possible in wild populations, and that manipulations are most powerful after prior work to identify naturally existing hormone-behaviour relationships."
The research was conducted in a way that ensured no harm came to the seals, said the team.
Number eight Heaslip has had a back procedure, while full-back Kearney has had an operation on a knee injury.
Neither player was able to take part in the final match of the Six Nations against England on Saturday and face several weeks out of action.
Their club Leinster said it was hard to be specific about timelines.
"Jamie just had a procedure done on his back. He had disc issues. Obviously they come on quite quickly," head coach Leo Cullen said.
"It rules him out of the next number of weeks. When we get a report we will find out how long that will be. It sounds like they are reasonably standard procedures.
"Rob had an issue with his knee. It happened early during training in the week of the England game.
"He had a procedure done during the week after seeing a specialist on Tuesday. That's probably four to six weeks. We'll see how he comes through that."
Both players have been involved in the past two Lions tours but face contrasting prospects of travelling to New Zealand this summer.
Back row Heaslip could be squeezed out of contention by Billy Vunipola and Toby Faletau, but Kearney looks to have a good chance of being picked as one of the full-backs when the squad is named on 19 April.
Goals either side of the interval by Sean Morrison and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing gave the Bluebirds a 2-0 win over Sheffield United.
Winger Mendez-Laing took his season's tally to four with a superb strike.
The Blades went close through Billy Sharp and had a penalty shout turned down, but were comfortably beaten.
Cardiff came into the game on a high after an impressive 3-0 win over Aston Villa, with manager Neil Warnock relishing the challenge of the team he supported as a child - and managed for eight years.
Sheffield United suffered their first defeat in 20 games when beaten 1-0 by Middlesbrough at the weekend, and found the Bluebirds in irresistible mood on a calm Cardiff night.
The Bluebirds joined the Football League in 1910 and are top of the early-season table after ending a 107-year wait for maximum return from their opening three games.
They have nine points along with Ipswich and Wolves, who Cardiff play at Molineux on Saturday.
The Blades matched Cardiff in the early stages, but were let off when Jazz Richards hit a post and then Kenneth Zohore slid the ball past the post after being put through by Junior Hoilett.
The breakthrough came in the 44th minute when skipper Morrison headed in Joe Ralls' corner.
Mendez-Laing's stunning finish to a sweeping team move in the 55th minute put Warnock's team firmly in charge, and the Blades did well not to concede a third.
Ched Evans made an appearance off the bench for the Blades, but it was Sharp and David Brooks who had their best efforts, and Leon Clarke headed a good chance wide.
But it was United supporter Warnock who had the biggest smile as his Cardiff side kept their third successive Championship clean sheet.
Cardiff manager Neil Warnock told BBC Radio Wales:
"To start with three league wins on the bounce is great - I think it's lovely as a record like that because it takes the pressure off.
"I remember not winning for seven games and it was horrible.
"It's great for the fans, but we've got to go up to Wolves now and see if we can perform up there."
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder:
"We're going to endure some tough nights, we totally understand that coming into the division after six years out of it, but we haven't been overrun against players who can hurt you.
"We've had two really tough games against Middlesbrough and Cardiff, but we haven't embarrassed ourselves.
"We competed well enough against the league leaders, we never folded and kept going to the end, but we do need to get better."

Civilians bore the brunt of the violence, with more than 2,000 killed in reported jihadist incidents during November 2014. Islamic State carried out the most attacks, adding to the spiralling death toll in Iraq and Syria. Explore the map to find out more.
The data gathered by the BBC found that 5,042 people were killed in 664 jihadist attacks across 14 countries - a daily average of 168 deaths, or seven every hour.
About 80% of the deaths came in just four countries - Iraq, Nigeria, Syria and Afghanistan, according to the study of media and civil society reports.
Iraq was the most dangerous place to be, with 1,770 deaths in 233 attacks, ranging from shootings to suicide bombings.
In Nigeria, 786 people, almost all of them civilians, were killed in 27 Boko Haram incidents. These tended to be large and indiscriminate bombings and shootings such as the attack on the central mosque in the northern city of Kano, which left 120 dead.
Deadly month of jihadist attacks
Boko Haram also struck over the border in Cameroon, killing 15 people. Meanwhile, in East Africa, al-Shabab took 266 lives in Somalia and Kenya.
Afghanistan suffered almost the same number of deaths as Nigeria (782) but they tended to be in smaller, targeted attacks, such as the shooting of the deputy governor of Kandahar.
In war-ravaged Syria, 693 people were killed; Yemen had 410 deaths in 37 attacks.
Of the 16 jihadist groups involved in the bloodshed, Islamic State was the most deadly, killing 2,206 people across Iraq and Syria - 44% of the total death toll.
The director of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation, Prof Peter Neumann, said Islamic State "has rivalled - if not replaced - al-Qaeda as the leader of global jihadism". Read Prof Neumann's full analysis.
Civilians bore the brunt of the attacks with a total of 2,079 killed, followed by 1,723 military personnel.
But the proportions varied significantly between countries. In Nigeria, almost 700 civilians were killed, at least 57 of them children, whereas just 28 deaths were from the military.
In contrast, in Syria and Afghanistan, more than twice as many military personnel died as civilians.
Of the 146 police officers who died, 95 were in Afghanistan. Politicians and other officials were also targets in Afghanistan, and in Somalia, where 22 were killed.
Jihadists themselves were also killed in large numbers: 935 died in clashes or by blowing themselves up.
Taken together, bombs accounted for the most deaths, with 1,653 people killed in 241 explosions. These included 38 suicide blasts, which took 650 lives and 128 other bombs, such as improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which killed 555.
Some explosions were large and aimed at the public while others were highly targeted, such as the man who got inside a police headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan, before blowing himself up.
Read Richard Galpin's account: Anatomy of a suicide
Gun attacks took at least another 1,574 lives, while a further 666 deaths were described as ambushes, many of which are likely to have involved shootings.
It is estimated that 426 people were murdered in execution-style killings, including 50 who were reported to have been beheaded in Syria, Yemen and Libya.
Among these were captured US aid worker Peter Kassig, who was beheaded along with a group of Syrians in the middle of the month.
Mortars and shelling killed 204 people and 49 were attacked with knives.
Prof Neumann said the range of tactics and methods of attack reflected "the increased emphasis on holding territory and confronting conventional forces".

The TUC said statutory maternity pay for UK mothers was among the worst in Europe.
Here's what you had to say.
Priya Virdi, Datchet
I work in London and live in Datchet, Berkshire. I work in telecommunications and earn an average London wage. I'm currently on maternity leave wondering if I'll get a chance to see my baby reach and enjoy solid foods because £539 isn't enough to survive on, especially if you work in London. The cost of living is too high!!
Anonymous, Cumbria
I am on maternity leave now and I have taken a £1,000 a month pay cut. It's impossible to make ends meet when I have more outgoings and considerably less incomings. My partner and I could not afford electricity and had to go two days without it (we are on a pre-pay meter) and he is having to work overtime, resulting in me being overtired and stressed.
We also don't qualify for tax credits as we "earn too much". It's absolutely appalling. Even when I do go back to work, childcare is so expensive - it's going to cost £940 a month. I don't know how I am going to cope.
Caroline Poisson, London
I work for a sourcing and procurement firm in the City and am currently on maternity leave, with only statutory pay. I am fortunate enough to have some savings which I am using in order to make ends meet for a few extra months, but I will not have anything left for any incidents, or holidays, let alone another child.
The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding exclusively until the age of six months. This is impossible on the current statutory maternity pay, as most people have to go back to work after six weeks or very little more in order to pay bills.
We are told that the UK is generous with regards to this, but it is generous with time off, not with supporting the families of very young children. I know that we are leaving the EU, but the UK should not be seen as the most backward country in this regard.
Danielle Atkins, Cumbria
I am currently on maternity leave and I am lucky that my company offers a generous six months full pay. However, once this six months is over the statutory pay isn't sufficient.
Sarah, Essex
I work in HR in the professional services industry, and went back to work before six months, partly due to finance and largely not wanting to be out of "the system" too long. It is very little money to live on compared to what you might be used to, but I would often say to employees who questioned the amount of money and who requested company pay, you are fighting the wrong battle.
I would much rather have a fairer system when returning from maternity leave than receiving higher maternity pay when you may need to leave at the end if the flexibility or hours cannot be provided. Pay in the maternity leave period is irrelevant if you haven't got a job afterwards.
As intelligent women, we need to focus on demonstrating that a company will reduce their skillset by women leaving after having babies through not having appropriate choices. Maternity pay is a minor consideration when reflecting on a lesser career for the rest of your working life as a result of not having flexibility etc. when returning from maternity leave. We should start with this and then work on better pay.
Jenny Moraes, London
I live in London, have a mortgage and a personal loan for home improvement. Having two full-time incomes is essential for us as a family. As much as I want to use the full year of maternity leave, financially I cannot afford it and I am having to go back to work after eight months (as I am exhausting my annual leave entitlement of 30 days, I am getting an additional two months). I feel guilty putting my child into a nursery but I feel like I have no other option.

"The most popular things were the knick-knacks from the celebrities, people were falling over each other for them."
Some of the items, such as books, started from £1 while a gramophone donated by Coldplay has already attracted an online bid of £2,000.
Model Sophie Dahl gave clothing including a faux-fur Nicole Fahri jacket and a black Balmain jumper and Sir Bradley Wiggins donated a cycling shirt.
The refugee charity International Rescue Committee estimates there are more than 650,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan, of whom as many as 80% live in urban areas rather than in refugee camps.
Rowntree said: "It's hard to get basic healthcare services to those people, that's why mobile health clinics are so vital."
Today, Tesco became its latest proponent. In fact, to the kitchen sink Dave Lewis, the chief executive, has added the washing machine, the dish washer and the deep fat fryer.
The big, hairy, shiver-down the spine number is the revaluation of Tesco's 3,000 UK supermarkets and its stores overseas.
With the value of sales down and shoppers turning away from larger out-of-town stores, the business has admitted that its property portfolio simply isn't as valuable as it once believed.
To keep that in perspective, the £4.7bn writedown is what is known as a "non-cash charge". That is, it is an accounting measure rather than a statement on how profitable the core business is.
Sainsbury's and Morrison's have made similar announcements on supermarket revaluations.
Other problems for Tesco include a one-off charge for its failed Chinese joint venture; a change in the way it values the stock it keeps in its warehouses (it's worth £570m less than it previously believed); increased payments to its pension fund where debts are significantly higher and a restructuring in Europe which, at a cost of £416m, will bring the four eastern European businesses under one management structure.
The key words connected to all those numbers that Mr Lewis would like us to focus on is "one-off".
Tesco's overall business - the shops - is still operating at a profit, although at £1.4bn it is far lower than last year.
Mr Lewis has invested in cutting prices and putting more staff in stores and there is some evidence that customers are returning.
For the moment, that is the chief executive's focus - "volume", or the number of people coming through the shop doors or buying online.
He judges that if he can encourage customers back with lower prices, even if it means far slimmer profit margins, he can put Tesco back on the road to growth.
He points out that when Tesco dropped prices on 117 brands, the volume of sales went up by 28%.
The business will also look at the quality of the products on offer. A review of Tesco's ranges will take 18 months.
At this stage, investors are giving him the benefit of the doubt. The share price is up more than 2% in morning trading.
"Investors are possibly focusing on the underlying improvement and indeed consensus seems to be for an increase in underlying profits next year," said Nicla Di Palma of analysts Brewin Dolphin.
Tesco is also looking to sell its vast data business, Dunnhumby, which could bring in £2bn.
But, as Ms Di Palma says, there are still significant hurdles.
Capital investment is down (that's money spent on improving stores), debts are up and the UK business - the mainstay of the company - operated at a loss for the second half of 2014.
Mr Lewis is hoping that investors will be patient. It could take two years to turn the business around. Until then, fewer days of bad news like this morning's would be most welcome to investors.
The pair drove their car at Fusilier Rigby before attacking him with knives and attempting to decapitate him. The soldier, a father of one from Middleton, Greater Manchester, died of multiple cut and stab wounds after the attack on 22 May. Here is what happened that day.
1. Adebolajo buys knives
2. Killers leave home
3. Killers' car seen
5. Killers park car
4. Lee Rigby arrives at DLR station
6. Car driven at Lee Rigby
9. Armed police shoot attackers
7. Fusilier Rigby dragged into road
8. Unarmed police arrive
The day before the attack, Michael Adebolajo visits Lewisham Argos and buys a five-piece set of kitchen knives and a knife sharpener.
Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale leave Adebolajo’s address at Greenwich House, Oakwood Close, Lewisham, in a Vauxhall Tigra and drive towards Woolwich.
Adebolajo and Adebowale's car (seen in the foreground) travels along Wellington Street and Artillery Place in Woolwich before continuing to an area just south of the Woolwich ferry.
Lee Rigby, wearing a Help for Heroes hoodie and carrying an army backpack, arrives at Woolwich Arsenal DLR Station. He walks along Wellington Street before crossing John Wilson Street and entering Artillery Place. He crosses Artillery Place away from the Army barracks towards a shop on the other side of the road.
Adebolajo and Adebowale’s Vauxhall Tigra is seen on Wellington Street and parks facing Artillery Place.
Michael Adebolajo drives the Tigra at 30-40mph (48-64km/h) straight at Lee Rigby as he crosses the road in Artillery Place. Adebolajo and Adebowale get out of the car armed with a meat cleaver, knives and a revolver. They attack the motionless body of Mr Rigby and Adebelojo attempts to decapitate him.
Adebolajo and Adebowale drag Mr Rigby into the middle of the road. Video footage shows Adebolajo telling passers-by: 'The only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers. This British soldier is one – he is an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' Later, speaking into a mobile phone camera with bloodied hands, he went on: 'You people will never be safe. Remove your governments – they don't care about you.”
Unarmed police arrive at the scene, set up a cordon, and remain behind it. Five minutes pass before their armed colleagues arrive.
Armed police arrive at the scene. Adebolajo and Adebowale, one brandishing a cleaver and the other a revolver, run towards the police before being shot and falling to the ground. The same officers administer first aid 40 seconds later. The two assailants are taken to hospital.
Note: some timings are approximate.
The men, both Muslim converts, were in possession of a gun and eight knives on the day of the attack. Adebolajo had visited an Argos store in Lewisham, south-east London, the day before the murder to buy a knife sharpener and five-piece knife block set, costing £44.98. The gun, a 90-year-old 9.4mm-calibre Dutch revolver, was not loaded.
Adebolajo handed a letter to witness Amanda Donnelly Martin when she arrived at the scene shortly after Lee Rigby's murder.
Addressed to "my beloved children", it urged people to seek martyrdom, and stated: "If you find yourself curious as to why carnage is reaching your own towns then know its simply retaliation for your oppression in our towns."

Firefighters and police armed with tranquiliser guns are searching for the big cat, according to AP.
Authorities are following its paw prints in the Seine-et-Marne district, 34 miles from the French capital. Seine et Marne is trending on Twitter in France.
While social networks might be talking of the 'tigre', photos are scarce.
Media outlets have improvised in the best way they can.
Rather less excitingly, this seems to be an actual picture of the tiger. It was near a supermarket car park.
"My wife saw it," said Jean-Baptiste Berdeaux, who manages the Intermarche supermarket. He told AFP she took a photo. "She didn't get out of the car and called me to say: 'I think I saw a lynx.'"

In 2014, ex-Team Sky medic Dr Richard Freeman had a laptop containing medical records stolen, the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee were told.
Team Sky and British Cycling's record-keeping was questioned in the hearing.
"No one has any recognition of what was in the package," UK Anti-Doping chief Nicole Sapstead said on Wednesday.
The select committee is conducting an inquiry entitled 'Combatting doping in sport', while Ukad has been carrying out its own investigation into the contents of the jiffy bag package.
Referring to Team Sky's incomplete records, Sapstead described it as "odd", adding that she thought a team founded on the premise of racing cleanly would have evidence "to demonstrate any inferences to the contrary".
Committee chairman Damian Collins MP said that the "credibility of Team Sky and British Cycling is in tatters".
Media playback is not supported on this device
He added: "How can you say British Cycling is the cleanest and most ethical in the world when there are no records to substantiate what the doctors are giving the cyclists?"
He told BBC Sport the hearing had been "a damning indictment of the way things have been run" at both organisations.
Dr Freeman, who received the package from then-British Cycling coach Simon Cope on the final day of the Criterium du Dauphine in France in 2011, missed the hearing because of ill health.
Cope described himself as a "gap filler" for British Cycling and Team Sky and told MPs he did not ask what was in the package.
In December, Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford told the committee that the package contained an over-the-counter decongestant, Fluimucil.
But Sapstead said Ukad still does not know for sure if Fluimucil was in the package because there is no paperwork.
"We have asked for inventories and medical records and we have not been able to ascertain that because there are no records," she said.

Team Sky said they had "co-operated fully" with Ukad's investigation and denied any wrongdoing.
"Team Sky is a clean team," the statement said. "We abide by the rules and we are proud of our stance against doping.
"We believe our approach to anti-doping is rigorous and comprehensive."
British Cycling, meanwhile, acknowledged "serious failings in our record-keeping at the time" but said they would review and make changes to their processes.
"We are wholly committed to clean sport and I want to assure athletes, fans and all other stakeholders that this commitment is unwavering," said British Cycling chair Jonathan Browning.
"It is not enough to just be clean, we must also be able to demonstrate that we are clean."

It is the team which championed its use of marginal gains. But Team Sky, together with British Cycling, are now embroiled in a monumental mess.
The evidence provided by Nicole Sapstead, and in a different way by Simon Cope, has damaged the reputations of both organisations which have preached a commitment to keeping cycling drug-free in recent years.
The lack of effective auditing and the claimed "resistance" to investigators are problematic enough.
What will require a more rapid response is the assertion by Sapstead that records show British Cycling's medical store held a significant amount of triamcinolone, with suggestions it was being used by more than one rider.
Finding answers to that however would require access to every rider's medical files - a problem given the overriding requirements for doctor/patient confidentiality.
The implications of this long-running and ongoing affair could therefore be wide ranging.

Sapstead said Ukad has interviewed 34 current and former riders and staff members at British Cycling and Team Sky in an investigation that has taken up more than 1,000 man hours.
She described the confusion of how Freeman, who was effectively working for both British Cycling and its road racing off-shoot Team Sky, ordered and stored medicine for riders at the governing body's Manchester headquarters, with no clear separation between which drug was for which outfit.
"It's very clear from our investigation that there is no audit trail of what is going in and out of a comprehensive supply of medical products," she said.
Sapstead was asked why Dr Freeman could not produce any evidence.
"He kept medical records on a laptop and, according to Team Sky policy, was meant to upload those records to a dropbox that the other team doctors had access to," she said.
"But he didn't do that, for whatever reason, and in 2014 his laptop was stolen while he was on holiday in Greece."
Sapstead said Ukad contacted Interpol to check if this theft was reported at the time but has not received any confirmation it was, although Freeman did report it to British Cycling.
Cope said he was asked by his then-boss Shane Sutton to pick up a package from the National Cycling Centre in Manchester on 8 June, 2011 and take it out to French ski resort La Toussuire, where the Dauphine [won by Wiggins] finished on 12 June.
He told MPs he considered this to be a routine request and common in cycling.
Questioned on why he did not ask what was in the package, he said: "Why would I question it? Why would I question the integrity of our governing body? I just didn't ask. You may think I'm stupid.
"It must have been something medical, because it was for Dr Freeman, but I had no reason to doubt it. Throughout my career, I've looked up to our governing body. We've done so well and with a zero-tolerance stance [on doping]."
When pointed to the fact he was taking medical products overseas, Cope - who now manages Wiggins' professional road-racing team - said: "I probably should have asked what was in the package but the other day I travelled down to Spain with 40 boxes in the car. I didn't check every box, but I presume they were helmets."
Cope was asked to explain a discrepancy between his recollection of his movements that week and the expense claim he submitted to British Cycling.
"I might have been trying to fiddle them. We all do that, don't we?" he said.

Wiggins is a five-time Olympic gold medallist and in 2012 became the first Briton to win the Tour de France.
He and Team Sky boss Brailsford have come under scrutiny since information on the rider's authorised use of banned drugs to treat a medical condition was released by hackers.
Wiggins, an asthma and allergy sufferer, received special permission to use triamcinolone shortly before the 2012 Tour as well as the previous year's event and the 2013 Giro d'Italia.
His TUEs were approved by British authorities, and cycling's world governing body the UCI. There is no suggestion either the 36-year-old or Team Sky broke any rules.
George Osborne is not just standing up to make a few tweaks to public spending here and there, not just to make a political statement, but to set out the size and shape of the state for the next five years, in a time when money is tight and he has little room for manoeuvre.
The government wants to show the country it has a clear mission, and a determination to balance the books in an effective and coherent way.
That means making choices and deciding priorities.
Ministers in the majority Conservative government believe their ability to set priorities ought to be both a strength and an opportunity.
This won't be a Spending Review, they say, that displays an attitude of cutting a little bit here and there, moving money around the balance sheet to try to smooth out the pain.
Instead they see it as a programme of strategic cuts that, while difficult, add up to something: a country where work is rewarded, where anyone who wants to get on is helped to do so, and where the state has a careful approach to spending taxpayers' money, using it judiciously where it helps and not being afraid to scrape it back where it does not.
But choosing priorities - not just protecting but substantially increasing spending on areas like health, significant new spending on house building including billions going directly to house builders to encourage them to get spades into the ground, and retaining what many see as generous welfare payments to the older generations - inevitably means others will lose out.
No minister would argue that doesn't cause political pain.
This spending review will mean, for example, some police officers disappearing from forces around the country, some families taking hits to their incomes through changes to welfare, or some grants to business being cut back.
Each cut will be analysed in public, just as it has in recent weeks been argued over in private.
And with each saving comes a political risk.
As the chancellor knows from bitter experience, the details in statements like these can blow up unpredictably into political problems.
Rebels to the government's planned cuts to tax credits are hopeful of pretty substantial changes. Speculation in Westminster suggests pulling back cuts of more than £1,000 a year to some families' incomes to £300 or £400.
The actual details are being kept tightly under wraps.
But be in no doubt, the decisions the chancellor has made in recent weeks will be felt around the country.
He faces an economic test of trying to stick to his own rules on spending - not just getting the books back into balance but into surplus by the end of the Parliament.
It is a political test too.
Ministers have consistently expressed their desire to make the Conservatives the party of the centre ground, standing up for the so-called "strivers", making their party the natural home for the mythical swing voters of Middle England.
But the pressure is on to make a programme of cuts meet that goal.
The Spending Review is a hefty challenge for the new Opposition too.
Labour has an opportunity to show they are capable not just of agreeing positions among themselves in order to make an articulate case, but also that they are up to the job of providing proper scrutiny of the government's biggest decisions.
After a very shaky few weeks for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour, it is not certain they'll be able to do that.
Labour, the SNP and the Lib Dems face a government fresh from an election victory that believes - especially on the economy - that it has a mandate to act.
They are already using "dust suppressants" on Upper Thames Street to stick pollution to the road. Now we are getting Green Walls.
The Green Walls are specially designed to trap harmful particulate matter, known as PM10s.
TfL believes the walls will help at hotspots that regularly exceed EU legal limits.
Campaigners believe more needs to be done to deal with the cause of the pollution and reduce the amount of traffic.
The cost of the project is £5m from the Department of Transport, but will it work?

The Hollywood actress was questioned on what makes her focus "more time on refugees" than herself.
Angelina works with the United Nations, campaigning about the growing refugee and migrant crisis caused by war in places like Syria.

Monday's attack is believed to have been carried out by Ms Leonard's former partner, whose body was also found at her County Fermanagh house.
The funeral of Ms Leonard, 51, has taken place in Brookeborough.
Her son Conor, who has Down's syndrome, is thought to have summoned help via an alert system installed in their home.
He had been stabbed in the stomach, and was taken to hospital where he received stitches for his wounds.
Fr Lawrence Dawson described the 30-year-old as "very courageous", and explained how he had pressed an alarm button that summoned the emergency services to the scene within minutes.
Children with whom Connie Leonard had shared her love of music helped form a guard of honour as her coffin arrived at the little church of St. Mary's in Brookeborough.
They comforted each other as some wept.
Music for the Mass came from groups Ms Leonard had worked with, as a three-time All-Ireland medal winner in accordion and piano.
She was described as a great mother, musician and cook, whose energy and enthusiasm inspired those around her.
At the end of the service, outside the church, her son Conor waved goodbye to her coffin as it began its final journey.
In his funeral homily at St Mary's Church on Friday, parish priest Fr Brendan Gallagher said Conor Leonard "is our future and our reason to hope".
"Thankfully he survived the ordeal of Monday, because he is the one who will lead us all on the journey of recovery," he told mourners.
"His love and his affection will be a source of healing for all, he is the light that will renew the spirit of hope in our lives."
Fr Gallagher said Ms Leonard had suffered a horrific death.
He said people would be asking why such a terrible thing would happen to such a beautiful person.
"But we know that Connie would not want family or friends, thinking or feeling that way. Because for her, she had Conor with her, and that was the most important person she wanted with her at that moment," he said.
"The circumstances and the tragedy of Connie's death, cannot destroy the love that was in her heart and soul. The love that all of you, family and friends, received from her."
The funeral of suspect Peadar Phair, who reportedly hanged himself after the attack, took place on Thursday and Fr Dawson said his family were finding it very difficult to come to terms with the tragedy.
Ms Leonard had applied for a non-molestation order on Phair.
She was murdered a day before a court hearing had been due to take place in Enniskillen, in relation to the order.
Police are treating the attack on Conor Leonard as attempted murder.
They are not looking for anyone else in connection with the stabbing.
Ms Leonard was well-known from her involvement with the Irish music organisation Comhaltas.
She also ran a catering business in Lisnaskea, County Fermanagh.
Ivor Bell, 79, from Ramoan Gardens, west Belfast, denies two charges connected to the murder of the mother-of-ten.
The IRA kidnapped Mrs McConville from her home in Divis flats in 1972.
She became known as one of the "disappeared".
These were people who were abducted, murdered and buried at secret locations by republicans during the Northern Ireland Troubles.
Mr Bell did not appear at the pre-trial hearing at Belfast's Crown Court on Monday. His barrister told the judge: "He suffers from dementia which has a cardiovascular cause and he wouldn't be able to properly follow the course of proceedings."
A prosecution lawyer suggested that he would commission a psychiatrist to examine the defendant. He also requested full access to Mr Bell's medical files.
The case was adjourned until 16 December.
Mr Bell faces two counts of soliciting Mrs McConville's murder, both of which he denies.
Mrs McConville's remains were found on Shelling Hill beach in County Louth by a member of the public in August 2003. Nobody has been convicted of her murder.
The case against Mr Bell is based on the content of tapes police secured from an oral history archive collated by Boston College in the United States.
Mr Sarkozy, 61, became France's first president not to be re-elected for a second term since Valery Giscard d'Estaing in 1981.
But now the man who beat him, Socialist leader Francois Hollande, is the most unpopular French president in modern times, opinion polls suggest.
Depicting France as on the "edge of an abyss", Mr Sarkozy has said he cannot allow himself to leave his country "between the drama of the FN (far-right National Front) and the end of Socialism".
Mr Sarkozy secured the leadership of his party in a party poll in November 2014, but fell short of the 70% of the vote that he had hoped would give him a launch pad to challenge for the presidency in 2017.
In 2015 he changed the party's name from Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) to The Republicans.
He continues to be dogged by inquiries that have their roots in the funding of his successful 2007 election campaign.
Mr Sarkozy is formally the target of a judicial investigation that might well end in a trial in two separate cases.
An anti-corruption team in Nanterre, in the western suburbs of Paris, placed him under formal investigation in 2014 on suspicion of trying to influence senior judges.
His 15-hour stay in policy custody on 1 July 2014 was unprecedented for an ex-president in France. His supporters openly accuse his political opponents of trying to sabotage his return to the political mainstream.
The allegation is that he tried to obtain details from a magistrate about legal proceedings against him in 2013, when his campaign finances came under suspicion.
The investigation could lead to a charge of influence-peddling. Mr Sarkozy is suspected of having promised a prestigious role in Monaco to a magistrate, Gilbert Azibert, in exchange for information.
Mr Sarkozy's lawyer Thierry Herzog and Mr Azibert were also placed under formal investigation.
And a case called Bygmalion could also damage Mr Sarkozy's chances of a comeback.
The UMP is suspected of having fraudulently covered up illegal campaign funding in 2012. In February 2016 Mr Sarkozy was placed under formal investigation in this case too.
In 2013 Mr Sarkozy was also charged with taking advantage of the frail, elderly L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt. She was allegedly persuaded to donate big sums to the UMP. The case against him was later dropped.
Another inquiry concerns allegations that Mr Sarkozy received campaign funding from the late Libyan strongman Col Muammar Gaddafi.
Republicans party presidential primaries are scheduled for 2016 and Mr Sarkozy is likely to face tough rivals - former Prime Minister Francois Fillon and his own former Foreign Minister Alain Juppe.
Mr Sarkozy kept a low profile after his defeat by Mr Hollande in the 2012 election.
He appeared to rule out any return to frontline politics, devoting himself instead to family life and lucrative appearances on the international conference circuit.
Critics nicknamed his presidency "bling-bling", seeing his leadership style as too brash, celebrity-driven and hyperactive for a role steeped in tradition and grandeur.
That celebrity image was reinforced by his marriage to supermodel and singer Carla Bruni in 2008. The couple had a daughter, Giulia, a few months before the 2012 election.
Mr Sarkozy, who is twice divorced, also has a son from his second marriage and two sons from his first marriage.
A veteran conservative politician, Mr Sarkozy angered human rights activists with his stance on immigration.
As interior minister he notoriously talked of hosing down troubled housing estates, describing young delinquents in the Paris suburbs as racaille, or rabble.
That blunt comment - made before the 2005 riots - encouraged some critics to put him in the same category as the then far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen.
Later as president he pushed through measures to curb illegal immigration - including highly controversial mass deportations of Roma (Gypsies).
At the same time, he advocated positive discrimination to help reduce youth unemployment - a challenge to those wedded to the French idea of equality.
Towards the end of his presidency, unemployment claims surged to their highest level in 12 years.
Yet he had been at the forefront of the European response to the global economic crisis in 2008 and helped establish the G20 summits involving the world's biggest economies.
He also saw through unpopular, but arguably necessary, reforms: raising the retirement age from 60 to 62, relaxing the 35-hour working week, overhauling the universities and altering the tax system to encourage overtime and home ownership.
On the international stage, Mr Sarkozy was often described as an Atlanticist, though he opposed the war in Iraq.
In March 2011, France was first to send warplanes into action against Muammar Gaddafi's forces in Libya, spearheading the foreign intervention that enabled the Libyan rebels to succeed.
He was credited with brokering an end to the August 2008 conflict between Russia and Georgia, and his performance while holding the six-month EU rotating presidency is remembered as assertive.
In response to the global financial crisis of 2008, he vowed to punish speculators and advocated a strong state role in the economy.
Leading the European Union response, he developed a close working relationship with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany.
Unlike most of the French ruling class, Mr Sarkozy did not go to the Ecole Nationale d'Administration, but trained as a lawyer.
The son of a Hungarian immigrant and a French mother of Greek-Jewish origin, he was baptised a Roman Catholic and grew up in Paris.
He began his political career as mayor of the affluent Paris suburb of Neuilly from 1983 to 2002.
National attention came in 1993, when he personally intervened to free infants held hostage by a deranged man in a kindergarten, who was later killed by police commandos.
Initially a protege of Jacques Chirac, he became the right-hand man of Prime Minister Edouard Balladur in 1993-95, serving as budget minister.
When he backed Mr Balladur for the presidency in 1995, the decision caused a lasting rift with Mr Chirac, the successful candidate.
Mr Chirac famously chided him in his memoirs for being "irritable, rash, overconfident and allowing for no doubt, least of all regarding himself".
The visitors went in front after 17 minutes when Callum Camps ran on to an Ian Henderson pass and rounded goalkeeper Kelle Roos before shooting into an empty net.
The lead lasted only four minutes before Peter Hartley headed a Chris Lines corner across goal for Taylor to get the final touch inside the six-yard box.
Before the celebrations of the home fans had died down, Rochdale struck again as the dangerous Joe Bunney collected a long ball from the left and crossed for Henderson to net a simple tap-in.
Rochdale could have been further ahead at the break with Peter Vincenti heading wide early on and Henderson seeing a 35th-minute shot from close range saved by Roos.
Taylor levelled again with a scissor-kick from Hartley's header soon after the break and Rochdale's task was made tougher when centre-back Niall Canavan was dismissed for a second yellow card in the 72nd minute, but they held on.

Sterling hit a three-week low against the dollar in early trade, before recovering.
At approximately 1700 BST it was down 0.41% at $1.4456. Against the euro, it fell 0.26% to €1.2731.
"The polls are likely to make people rather uneasy and we can see that quite clearly today in the pound," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda.
On the stock market, the FTSE 100 index rose 63.77 points, or 1%, to 6,273.4, with the gains driven mainly by the mining sector. Shares in Anglo American jumped 11% and Glencore was 6.2% higher.
Mining shares were lifted by rising metal prices, which were boosted by the fall in the value of the dollar following Friday's weaker-than-expected US jobs figures.
The weak data has pushed back expectations of when the Federal Reserve will raise US interest rates.
Shares in Easyjet fell 1% after the airline released passenger figures for May. The airline said its load factor - a measure of how full its aircraft are - fell slightly to 91.5% from 91.6% a year earlier.
Easyjet said 173 flights were cancelled last month when services were disrupted by French air traffic control strikes. | The girlfriend of murdered British man Peter Falconio plans to apply for Australian citizenship after learning she has a sister in the country.

Fifth-placed Reading travel to Sheffield Wednesday, who are sixth, on Friday, looking to halt a run of three successive away defeats.
Wednesday have also suffered a dip recently, with three defeats in their past five matches.
"We don't look too closely at what other people are saying or doing as it's not important for us," Stam said.
Reading have taken just nine points from a possible 24 since the start of February.
But despite his side's form slump, Dutchman Stam believes the race for the play-offs will have plenty of hurdles for the main contenders in the coming weeks.
"Every game's different," the 44-year-old told BBC Radio Berkshire. "All teams struggle for a while in the Championship and we've had it of late.
"This point of the season isn't the best time to have that, you want to win your games obviously.
"But, we need to look at it in terms of the teams we need to play between now and the end of the season.
"Other teams (in the play-off picture) will face each other too, so you don't know how it's going to go in terms of who drops points and who picks them up." | Reading manager Jaap Stam is not concerned about the form of other teams in the Championship play-offs run-in. | 39,279,549 | 282 | 28 | false |
Mr Holmes said he lingered outside the cinema for a "moment or two" and called a mental health hotline. He also thought the FBI could have stopped him.
His phone call to the crisis line was disconnected, and the FBI did not come.
Mr Holmes is on trial for carrying out the deadly shooting in June 2012.
He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Prosecutors say Holmes was sane at the time of the shooting and are seeking the death penalty.
Defence attorneys claim schizophrenia distorted his ability to tell right from wrong and he should be sent to the state mental hospital.
Two state-appointed psychiatrists deemed Holmes legally sane but mentally ill at the time of the shooting at the suburban movie theatre.
"At that point, I'm on autopilot," Holmes said in the video, in which he was being interviewed by state psychiatrist Dr William Reid.
He "doubted he could be talked out of it" but called the hotline as "one last chance to see if I should turn back".
When the phone call was disconnected, he knew "it was really going to happen".
Mr Holmes told Dr Reid he would be remembered as a "bad guy" and that he "accomplished what he set out to do".
In the video, Mr Holmes showed a lot of rational thinking, Dr Reid said.
Mr Holmes also told him he was not using drugs in the weeks before the attack.
Mr Trump's move has been met with dismay from other world leaders signed up to the accord - but much of the outcry can be heard on the west coast of his own country.
The chief executives of Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook have all criticised the president's decision.
Elon Musk, who had been a member of Mr Trump's business panel, announced he would leave the post.
"Am departing presidential councils," he tweeted. "Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world."
Many firms, including IBM and Amazon, said they would continue to try to meet the goals of the climate deal.
"IBM supported - and still supports - US participation in the Paris Agreement," the technology company said in a statement.
Microsoft remained "committed" to doing its part for the agreement, its president and chief legal officer Brad Smith said.
Many tech firms have faced scrutiny from environmentalists, thanks to the huge energy demands of their data centres.
US data centres consumed roughly as much energy as six-and-a-half million US homes, according to one report - 70 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Tech firms have consequently invested heavily in making their operations greener.
Google, for example, says it is on track to hit its own goal of offsetting 100% of its data centres' energy use against renewable power.
And Apple has said that 96% of its energy comes from renewable sources - the company is now pushing its suppliers to follow its example.
"A lot of these firms have already invested in renewables and [leaving the Paris deal] counters what they're currently invested in," explains analyst Matthew Ball at Canalys.
The implication is that, should it becomes less cost-effective to rely largely on renewables, then that investment could soon look like a mistake.
But there's another downside for the tech giants.
"It kind of gives a sign that the US is not going to be at the forefront of the technology innovation that's going to be required to meet the agreement's goals," says Mr Ball.
"It gives the edge to the European and Chinese firms."
Getting a slice of the renewable energy market has certainly been an objective for many of America's tech firms.
Tesla, for instance, recently announced a new product - solar panels for your roof that look uncannily like ordinary tiles.
All renewable energy resources combined account for nearly 10% of the US's demand - but certain resources within that, including solar, have been growing rapidly according to the US Energy Information Administration.
Solar energy actually employs more US workers than Apple, Google and Facebook together, so it is perhaps unsurprising that the tech firms have expressed an interest in remaining part of the "renewable revolution".
Craig was part of the team that overcame Internazionale 2-1 in the final to become the first British side to lift the trophy.
He says that is why, 50 years on from that famous victory, Celtic remains a club recognised worldwide.
"It played a major part in our history, it put Celtic's name among the big boys as a European Cup-winner," Craig said.
"That's what all these teams are in operation to try to do.
"Some of the biggest names in football haven't done it. Some of the wealthiest haven't done it. So Celtic's name is up there."
Craig hopes that one day a Celtic side can repeat the heroics of the Lisbon Lions and claim European club football's biggest prize: "I would certainly hope so," he said.
However, he echoed the view of club chairman Ian Bankier in saying that while such ambitions must be preserved, the financial restrictions on Scottish clubs make it an enormous challenge to compete with Europe's top clubs.
"It will be more difficult from now on as the money you need to buy players is in other countries rather than Scotland," Craig told BBC Scotland. "So it will be more difficult for Celtic to do that.
"What I'm sure [Celtic manager] Brendan Rodgers is aiming for - and he's done a great job so far - next season is to get into the group stage of the Champions League.
"Once you're in there it's a learning process. Three home games, three away games, unlike the old days one bad result doesn't mean you're out the competition. If we had a bad day when it was a knockout competition then you were really struggling.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"If you have six games to get one of the top two places then the club can certainly do that. That's what Brendan will be aiming for. The more you practise the better you get and you never know what might happen in the future."
Fellow Lisbon Lion Bertie Auld also hopes the club can one day repeat their 1967 triumph and praised Rodgers, who has led Celtic to the Scottish Premiership title and the League Cup this season, with a Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen to come.
"Jock Stein said to us the first day he became manager, 'this is your era, now make history' and I don't think we let him down," said Auld.
"Brendan to me is a bubbly type of person and I think he'd be great in the dressing room. He's proved that with the success we've had this season in winning comfortably.
"I think we'll win, I think we'll win the European Cup again. I don't want to put too much onus on the present days but they have the ability and they've got the goalscorers from different positions."
CoSocius began trading in April 2014 and is jointly owned by Cheshire East and Cheshire West & Chester councils.
The firm blamed a "changing environment" for the decision.
Former Cheshire West council leader Mike Jones called the firm's performance "very disappointing" and "had not delivered what we expected".
In its first 11 months, CoSocius had operating losses of £800,000, added to a pension deficit of £8.5m.
More than 300 council staff employed by the jointly-owned company will now be brought back in-house.
Cosocius was established as "an innovative, sustainable and highly competitive business able to trade profitably with other organisations".
It was hoped the arrangement would generate savings of £5m over the first five years of operation, by bidding for contracts with other public and private bodies.
Managing director Dave Hudson said "CoSocius has made progress in a number of areas and contributed to the success of other areas of both councils, however the changing environment meant that many aspects of the company's original agreed business plan needed revisiting."
Cheshire East Council Labour spokesman Sam Corcoran criticised the project for "exposing council services to the disruption and expense of structural changes that are reversed a few years later."
The company will cease trading in April 2016.
Elliot Willis was given the devastating news at the end of 2015.
That meant 2012 silver medallist Patience had to find another partner in the 4-70 class and re-qualify for Rio.
"I did think for a while that if I can't do it with him then I don't know if I want to do it all, but that was the emotional Luke talking," he said.
"I did feel incredibly guilty. I still feel guilty now that I'm away sailing, but he wouldn't want me to do anything different.
"And it slowly dawned on me that, of course, I want to go and do it and, of course, I need to find someone else to do this with."
Patience qualified for the 2016 event with new partner Chris Grube, but Willis is still very much in his thoughts - and is a great inspiration.
"Whatever we go on to do at the Olympic Games in two months, he is and was part of that," the Scot stressed.
"I'm finishing things we started together with someone else, so he'll be as much a part of it even though he's not there in the boat."
Patience describes the situation with Willis as giving him "an extra wee bit of fuel".
However, he realises that going one better than London 2012 and winning Olympic gold is anything but assured and fears the heavily criticised water quality at Guanabara Bay could play a part in deciding who medals in Rio.
"The water is a bit foul, it's not nice," Patience told BBC Scotland. "But what are you going to do? That's where the Olympics will be.
"But it's not nice. It's a different kind of level of sewage I guess that I've sailed in before."
Despite being an experienced sailor, Patience admits to having some concerns about becoming ill from the water problems.
"There was times that I wondered if our medal prospects might be decided on whether someone gets ill or someone doesn't," he said. "And that's still maybe the case.
"I wouldn't wish it on my competitors and I certainly don't wish it on myself obviously.
"I hope everyone builds immunity to it and everyone is at their best and racing their best on the day."
Although the World Health Organization has dismissed calls for the Olympics to be moved because of the Zika outbreak in Brazil, other medical experts have expressed worries about the Games posing a risk to global public health.
"I've never heard so much rubbish in my life," said Patience. "Of course they're not going to postpone or cancel the Olympics.
"There are health issues everywhere you go around the world.
"It's not nice people getting the Zika virus or Dengy fever, but it would take more than that to have an Olympics stopped.
"They are a great sporting nation, they love sport and I honestly think the Brazilians will put on an amazing Olympics."
RBS, which is still 73% government-owned, said it had paid the Treasury £1.2bn to end an arrangement giving the government priority over dividends.
The payment puts a stop to the Dividend Access Scheme (DAS), which came into being in 2009 after RBS was bailed out.
The government intends to sell most of its RBS stake in the next five years.
It bought an 84% stake to save the bank at the height of the financial crisis in 2008, but has since reduced its holding.
RBS group chief executive Ross McEwan said the step was being taken "on the back of progress we have made in strengthening the bank's balance sheet in recent years".
The bank reported a loss of £1.98bn for 2015, its eighth year of annual losses.
At the time, it said that it did not expect to pay a dividend to shareholders in 2016, saying: "We now consider it more likely that capital distributions will resume later than Q1 2017."
Currently, judges are able to grant a smaller reduction in such cases.
The Sentencing Council said its plans - now being consulted on - would encourage early guilty pleas and spare more victims the trauma of a trial.
The Ministry of Justice said no decisions had been made.
Under the new draft guidelines, the sliding scale for sentencing reductions would be:
No reduction in sentence would be offered to someone pleading guilty to murder where the judge determines they should receive a whole life jail term.
The Sentencing Council said it recognised that making a one-third reduction mandatory for all offenders pleading guilty as soon as possible was "controversial" and could be seen as an "erosion of judicial discretion".
"There is an understandable reluctance to provide those who are guilty with a 'reward' for pleading guilty, especially when they have little or no prospect of being acquitted," it said.
"However, it is important to recognise that the guilty plea reduction is in place to provide an incentive and not a reward.
"For it to work effectively, it is important that it is a clear and unqualified incentive to the defendant."
The council said the new guidelines provided "a much tighter framework" and "much less scope for offenders to 'play the system' and still receive the maximum discount".
Chairman Lord Justice Treacy said: "We want those who have committed crimes to admit their guilt as early as possible.
"When they do, it means victims and witnesses can be reassured that the offender has accepted responsibility for what they have done and that they are spared having to appear at court to testify.
"It also means that the police and Crown Prosecution Service can use their resources more efficiently to investigate and prosecute other cases."
The council stressed that nothing in the new guidelines "should be taken to suggest that an accused person who is not guilty of an offence should be pressured to plead guilty".
Mark Fenhalls QC, chairman of the Criminal Bar Association, said "clarity and consistency" in sentencing was welcome, but flexibility was also vital.
"There has to be a proper balance between the interests of the public, victims and the rights of defendants to fair process, without undue pressure being placed on defendants who are often vulnerable.
"Defendants who plead guilty early must always receive more credit than those who game the system. But guidelines must not become straitjackets that prevent judges from making the right decision in individual cases."
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "The changes in the consultation would lead to stricter sentences as those pleading guilty later in the process will get a smaller reduction.
"There would be no change to the reduction for those pleading guilty at the earliest point in the process.
"Following the spending review, there is no financial need to cut prison numbers over the next five years. Protecting the public will always be our top priority."
The Sentencing Council was set up by Parliament to promote consistency in sentencing while maintaining the independence of the judiciary.
It recommends sentences according to the relative seriousness of different offences, and the seriousness of the offender's behaviour relative to that of others convicted of the same crime.
The US Commerce Department says that Canada is improperly subsidising its exports of the forestry product.
This is just the latest volley in the long-running lumber trade dispute between the two countries.
It also comes during a sensitive time in US-Canada trade relations, with North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) talks on the horizon.
US President Donald Trump has been sending Canada mixed messages on trade, initially offering assurances that Nafta will only need "tweaks" but recently singling out Canada's softwood lumber and dairy industries for criticism.
As US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said in a statement: "It has been a bad week for US-Canada trade relations."
Canada is "generally a good neighbour but that doesn't mean they don't have to play by the rules," he later said.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his job is to stick up for Canada's interests.
Here are five things to know about the Canada-US softwood lumber spat.
The US has claimed for decades that Canada is unfairly subsidising its lumber industry by charging minimal fees to log public lands.
On Monday, the US Commerce Department imposed an overall 20% tariff on Canadian softwood lumber.
In this "preliminary determination", five exporters each face specific countervailing duties, which are meant to level the playing field between domestic producers and government-subsidised foreign producers of a product, ranging from 3.2% to 24.12%.
The US Commerce Department valued softwood lumber imports from Canada at US$5.6bn (C$7.6bn/£4.3bn) in 2016.
The duties will amount to about US$1bn, according to Secretary Ross.
This comes after no breakthrough was reached in recent talks in the decades-long dispute.
President Trump is finding it difficult to turn campaign rhetoric into government action in in many arenas, but particularly so in overseas trade.
He won the presidency, in part, with a strong and simple message of "winning" trade deals and being "tough" with the US's biggest trading partners. In the real world, that turns out to be a risky approach.
The president has notably declined to follow up on any of his harsh rhetoric about China, for example. Nevertheless he needs some way of showing how he can be tough. A dust up with Canada about lumber is probably a safe fight to pick. The lumber business is worth a fraction of the overall trade with Canada and set against so much shared history and thousands of miles of border, it's hardly likely to undermine US-Canadian relations on its own.
However it doesn't auger well for a smooth renegotiation of the North America Free Trade Agreement if that's really what President Trump wants.
Canada vows it will "vigorously defend" the interests of Canada's softwood lumber industry, including through litigation.
Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr and Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said in a joint statement that Canada "disagrees strongly" with what they called "an unfair and punitive duty".
Mr Trudeau said on Tuesday that "you cannot thicken this border without hurting people on both sides of it".
Susan Yurkovich, president of the British Columbia Lumber Trade Council, said in a statement that "these duties are unwarranted, and this determination is completely without merit".
The province is the the largest Canadian exporter of softwood lumber to the US.
But the decision was cheered by the US Lumber Coalition, an alliance of American lumber producers formed in 1985 to fight what it calls the "devastating effect of Canada's lumber subsidies" on their industry.
Meanwhile, the US National Association of Home Builders denounced the decision as "short-sighted" and warned it would increase the cost of housing in the US. Secretary Ross said it will only have a small impact.
Softwood lumber products, like pine, fir and spruce, are mainly used in the construction of single family houses.
Minister Jim Carr quipped on Tuesday that lumber disputes have been "the most significant trade irritant between the US and Canada since Confederation" 150 years ago.
This specific dispute, however, dates back over 30 years to the early 1980s, when a group of US lumber producers first called for countervailing duties on Canadian softwood.
As a result of a series of disputes in the intervening years, the first US-Canada Softwood Lumber Agreement - a five year deal - was signed in 1996.
Soon after that deal expired, the US lumber industry petitioned Washington to impose duties on softwood lumber imports.
In 2002, the US imposed those tariffs.
In 2006, Canada and the US reached a second Softwood Lumber Agreement for a seven-year term, under which the US scrapped the duties and Canada imposed taxes and quantitative restriction on lumber exports
That was extended until 2015, and the US government and industry agreed to not undertake any new countervailing or antidumping duty investigations for a year - that deal expired last October.
In November, the US lumber industry filed antidumping and countervailing duty cases under American trade laws, launching the fifth round in the lumber row.
Both countries will feel a shock, with the US comprising almost 70% of Canada's softwood market.
There are about 600 mills across Canada producing softwood lumber and over 170 communities get 20% or more of direct income from that industry.
Minister Carr noted there were lost job and closed mills the last time the US imposed tariffs, and Ottawa is preparing for "tough times".
In the US, the renovation and construction industries are expected to feel the impact.
One-third of lumber used in the US last year was imported and the bulk - over 95% according to the US National Association of Home Builders - was Canadian.
The group estimates the recent 22% jump in the cost of softwood lumber in the US, caused by recent uncertainty around the product, has added almost US$3,600 to the price of a new home.
Canada says it is interested in a "good faith resolution" in this dispute but will defend its interests including through litigation, though that was not immediately on the table.
Minister Carr noted Canada has prevailed in previous rounds of litigation "and we will do so again" but also said he believes that the trade relationship is so consequential for both countries that "we will work through this".
Canada is also seeking to open new markets abroad, including in China.
In the US, a preliminary antidumping ruling is scheduled for 23 June, looking at whether Canadian lumber has been dumped in the US market. Dumping occurs when a company exports its product at a lower price than it charges domestically.
The US Department of Commerce is also expected to announce its final duty rates by late 2017.

Fifteen civilians were among those killed by the blasts at a market in Kukjali, according to Iraq's military.
Iraqi warplanes bombed jihadist positions in the city in retaliation.
Earlier, the UN said mortar fire had killed four Iraqi aid workers and seven civilians, as the government's offensive entered its third month.
Lise Grande, the UN's humanitarian co-ordinator for Iraq, did not assign blame for the two incidents on Tuesday and Wednesday in eastern Mosul, but said the civilians had been queuing for emergency assistance when the mortars landed.
"People waiting for aid are already vulnerable and need help. They should be protected, not attacked," she stressed.
"All parties to the conflict - all parties - have an obligation to uphold international humanitarian law and ensure that civilians survive and receive the assistance they need."
In Thursday's attack, three car bombs blew up at an outdoor market in Kukjali, which was recaptured by special forces units at the start of November.
The Iraqi military did not say whether the explosions were caused by suicide attackers. But IS said three militants had blown themselves up, killing at least 20 "apostates" and destroying several army vehicles.
About 50,000 Iraqi security forces personnel, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, Sunni Arab tribesmen and Shia militiamen are involved in the offensive to drive IS out of the jihadist group's last major urban stronghold in the country.
Since entering the city's east last month, troops have found their advances hindered by waves of suicide bombings, as well as sniper and shellfire.
More than 107,000 people have so far been displaced as a result of fighting, with most being sheltered in emergency camps and with host communities. In the UN's worst case scenario, as many as one million others may be forced to flee.
The Penrose Inquiry urged a "look back" exercise to trace people unaware they had been infected with hepatitis C.
Thompsons Solicitors said a review group set up to examine how this should be done only met for the first time in October.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said the review group's work was "ongoing".
Between 1970 and 1991, an estimated 30,000 people across the UK were infected with Hepatitis C and/or HIV through blood products supplied by the NHS.
Scotland was the only part of the UK to hold an inquiry.
The report by Lord Penrose, published nearly a year ago, estimated that 2,500 people were infected through blood transfusions in Scotland, and concluded that more should be done to trace them.
It is known that there were at least 1,658 donations of infected blood but only 880 recipients were ever identified, and Lord Penrose concluded that these figures themselves may be an underestimate.
Thompsons said the working group had still not produced any recommendations on how to trace unidentified victims.
Case study - living with hepatitis C
"Paul", who is in his 40s, was diagnosed last month. He had a blood transfusion in May 1991 and now has cirrhosis of the liver.
"I was unwell, cold, muscles aching and twingeing. Shivery, headaches. I knew there was something wrong," he said.
"I changed doctors, and within a few weeks he had all the answers. I still can't get my head around it. I've not seen the specialist yet. The senior nurse told me I had stage 2 - cirrhosis of the liver. That's just another thing to try to deal with."
The diagnosis ended Paul's relationship, and he has not been able to work due to his severe symptoms.
"I don't take drugs, I don't drink, I don't abuse myself, I was fit and healthy guy until 15 months ago and it's been hell ever since. I've just got to rely on the government to help me live and I've never done that in my life."
Now Paul has to wait to see if he will be recommended for a new more effective treatment for hepatitis C, which is expensive, and has to be specially agreed by a panel of experts.
Senior solicitor at Thompsons Solicitors, Lindsay Bruce said: "The only recommendation of the Penrose report was to identify any individuals who may have been infected with contaminated blood.
"From the clients I've spoken to, they don't feel enough has been done. Had they been diagnosed earlier they would not be in the situation they are now.
"We've got several cases. The longer this disease is in someone's body the more damage it does. It's a ticking time bomb."
Cabinet Secretary for Health Shona Robison said work was under way to consider how best to identify other victims.
She said: "It is happening. That work is ongoing to look at how we can find any people out there.
"There have been attempts in the past to try to trace people and get them to come forward but Professor Goldberg [of Health Protection Scotland] is looking at what more we can do."
Last week the Scottish government announced increased financial support for victims.
Work on a housing development on Wonastow Road, near Monmouth, was halted when the remains were uncovered.
The pieces of wood have been radiocarbon-dated to 3210BC and were uncovered on a site which is thought to have once been a lake.
The discovery was made three years after a Bronze Age boat building was found at a site one mile (1.6km) away.
Archaeologist Steve Clarke said: "As we had just discovered a rich Bronze Age settlement a few fields away we thought the remains would turn out to be Bronze Age.
"So it was a real surprise when the dates came back as being twice as old."
The five oak timbers have been partially burned, including a piece thought to be part of the boat's stern or bow and another part of the hull.
Krejcir and his co-accused, two of whom are part of the Hawks elite police unit, had pleaded not guilty to the charges.
This is the first conviction against Krejcir, 46, who faces four separate trials in South Africa.
Local media have described him as a "mafia boss" but he denies links to the criminal underworld.
Krejcir was accused of ordering the kidnap and torture of Bheki Lukhele, whose brother had allegedly disappeared with 25kg (55lbs) of drugs.
He was arrested by South African police at his home in Johannesburg in late 2013 over the incident.
In July 2013, he made local and international headlines when he survived an attempt to kill him using guns hidden behind a car number plate operated by remote control.
A number of his associates have been killed in separate incidents over the years but Krejcir has repeatedly denied any involvement with local organised crime syndicates whose operations are reported to also include drug dealing.
The businessman is also wanted in the Czech Republic, where he was convicted in absentia last year on tax fraud charges.
Krejcir moved to South Africa in 2007, where he is applying for asylum.
He says he will be killed if he is forced to return to the Czech Republic.
The Exiles trailed to James Collins' third minute opener, before Joss Ladabie's leveller gave them hope.
However, the hosts took control with two quickfire second half goals, as Josh Yowerth and Jimmy Smith scored twice in four minutes.
Newport's Josh Sheehan missed a late penalty in a bad-tempered affair that saw 13 players receive yellow cards.
Newport County boss Graham Westley told BBC Radio Wales Sport: "We were ill-disciplined and I think that came from a lack of work ethic.
"When I walked in the door I knew it was going to be a difficult job. There hadn't been a lot of winning going on.
"You can't just turn off a tap when people are used to losing.
"We have spoken a lot of home truths in the dressing room. We have not been good enough this season."

Saturday's event will mark the 200th anniversary of the society which runs it.
The Queen is expected to attend, just days before she officially becomes the nation's longest reigning monarch.
The Braemar Gathering is seen as the biggest event in the Highland Games calendar, and is always on the first Saturday in September.
More than 100 men are retracing the steps of their ancestors as they march from Donside to Royal Deeside, to help mark the bicentenary of the Braemar Royal Highland Society which was formed in 1815.
Made up of members of the Lonach Highlanders and the Lonach Pipe Band, the group will march 14 miles to Braemar Castle and camp overnight before attending on Saturday.
Until now, the 66 confirmed deaths have only been in rural areas, although there have been suspected cases, which have since proved negative, in the capital.
There have also been suspected cases in neighbouring West African states Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Ebola is spread by close contact and kills between 25% and 90% of victims.
Earlier this week, the health ministry banned the sale and consumption of bats, in a bid to prevent the spread of the virus. Fruit bats, which are a delicacy in the worst affected south-eastern region, are thought to be carriers of the disease.
Health Minister Remy Lamah said the virus appeared to have been transmitted by an man who showed symptoms of haemorrhagic fever after visiting Dinguiraye in central Guinea, far from the identified outbreaks of Ebola in the remote south-east.
Four of the man's brothers, who attended his funeral in the central town of Dabola, started to show the same symptoms and were tested for Ebola on their return to Conakry.
The four have been placed in an isolation ward and the dead man's family have also been quarantined, the minister said.
The spread of the disease to Conakry, a city of some two million people, marks an escalation in the Ebola outbreak in Guinea - one of the poorest nations on earth, despite rich deposits of bauxite and iron ore.
Discovered in 1976 after an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, then Zaire, Ebola causes a severe haemorrhagic fever where victims suffer vomiting, diarrhoea and both internal and external bleeding.
Scientists have yet to develop an effective drug or vaccine to fight it.
Part of the problem is that the deadly virus is rare and its victims are often poor people living in rural areas of Africa without well-functioning health systems. But there is also little incentive for major pharmaceutical companies to invest in medical solutions when there is little chance of a return, analysts say.
However, many health officials believe the virus could be better controlled with good basic hygiene and the eradication of dangerous bush meat consumption. The US government also funds some research, partly out of concern the virus could be used for bioterrorism.
"Ebola virus is one of the deadliest killers known," said Ben Neuman, a virologist at Britain's University of Reading.
"If this virus spread between people more easily, it would probably be more deadly than the black plague. Fortunately, up to this point, it has not," he added.
Outbreaks of Ebola occur primarily in remote villages in Central and West Africa, near tropical rainforests, the World Health Organization says.
Eighty-six of 460 courts and tribunal hearing centres will shut as part of "modernisation" plans, HM Courts and Tribunal Service confirmed.
The reforms aim to reduce the £500m annual cost of the courts estate.
Ministers said 48% of court buildings were empty at least half of the time last year, but the Law Society warns closures could limit access to justice.
Crown courts, county courts, family courts, youth courts, civil courts and tribunal hearing centres are among the centres that will close.
The government has published a schedule for the closures, with six phases planned between now and September 2017.
In total, 86 of the 91 courts and tribunal hearing centres that had been under consultation for closure will shut, Justice Minister Shailesh Vara confirmed.
On average, the 86 courts due to be closed were only being used for just over a third of their available hearing time - equivalent to fewer than two days a week, he said.
More than 97% of citizens would still be able to reach their required court "by car within an hour" after the closures, he added.
Various groups have opposed the plans.
The Law Society, which represents solicitors, argues that many people using public transport would face long and expensive journeys.
It gave an example of a return journey from one Aylesbury court which had been due to close to the proposed alternative Milton Keynes, which it said would cost £71 and was a five-hour round trip.
Malcolm Richardson, national chairman of the Magistrates' Association, a charity which represents magistrates in England and Wales, said many of its members would be "very worried" about the impact of the closures.
"There will be inevitable additional pressure on the system and the paramount concern of magistrates is for accessible justice to be protected," he said.
The family law organisation Resolution, which represents 6,500 family lawyers and other professionals in England and Wales, called the government's plans a "simplistic, ill-thought through exercise".
"Those affected the most by these closures will be vulnerable people such as victims of domestic abuse, young people and those who rely on public transport to get around," it said.
In a written statement, Justice Minister Mr Vara said the closures were necessary because many court buildings were "expensive to maintain yet unsuitable for modern technology".
"Court closures are difficult decisions; local communities have strong allegiances to their local courts and I understand their concerns," he said.
"But changes to the estate are vital if we are to modernise a system which everybody accepts is unwieldy, inefficient, slow, expensive to maintain and unduly bureaucratic."

Speaking in Berlin, Mr Obama said he hoped the US president-elect would "not simply take a realpolitik approach" to dealing with Russia.
He also warned against a cyber arms race, saying there was clear proof Russia had engaged in cyber attacks.
Mr Obama was speaking after talks with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The two close allies stressed the need for continued close co-operation between their countries, as well as between the US and EU as a whole.
Mrs Merkel acknowledged that the US had "shouldered most of the burden" of the Nato alliance - a disparity criticised by Donald Trump - and said European countries "must in future... engage more, so that in the long term the imbalance in defence spending is eradicated".
In pictures: Obama-Merkel relationship
Trump's rude awakening for Germany
Trump and trade: A radical agenda?
Mr Obama said he hoped Mr Trump would seek a constructive relationship with Russia, "finding areas... where our values and interests align".
But he added that he hoped Mr Trump was "willing to stand up to Russia when they deviate from our values and international norms".
This meant, he said, refraining from taking a "realpolitik approach" and cutting deals that could "hurt people or... violate international norms... leave smaller countries vulnerable, or create long-term problems in regions like Syria".
On the issue of cyber attacks, Mr Obama said there was a difference between "Russian intelligence-gathering" and "meddling with elections or going after private organisations or commercial entities".
He said he had "delivered a clear and forceful message that.... we're monitoring it carefully and we will respond appropriately if and when we see this happening".
He also had this warning for young people: "Do not take for granted our systems of government and our way of life... Democracy is hard work."
Trump elected - full report
When Barack Obama came to Berlin in 2008 he was greeted like a rock star.
Hundreds of thousands of cheering Germans turned out for the then presidential candidate and roared their approval of his vision of a new America - one which would be open to, and co-operate with, the rest of the world. His liberal and diplomatic tone struck a chord with many in the excited crowd.
Few here are cheering now.

Mr Obama and Mrs Merkel have had a close working partnership over the last eight years and had warm words for each other. She told reporters "the parting is hard for me", while he called her an "outstanding partner".
Germans are due to go to the polls in the autumn of next year after three consecutive terms in office for Mrs Merkel.
While she has not yet decided whether to stand again, Mr Obama told voters he had appreciated her "integrity, her truthfulness, her thoughtfulness."
During Thursday's talks, the two leaders also discussed the crises in Ukraine and Syria and the fight against so-called Islamic State.
Mr Obama is expected to hold talks with UK Prime Minister Theresa May and the leaders of France, Italy and Spain on Friday, before flying to Peru.
German media have adopted an elegiac tone in their coverage of Mr Obama's visit, noting that the close relationship between the outgoing US president and the German chancellor is unlikely to be repeated with Mr Obama's successor.
Focus Online says these are "gloomy days" for Mrs Merkel, as this is "the last time that she will have Barack Obama at her side as president of the United States. It is doubtful that the chancellor will be able to forge a similarly close relationship with Obama's successor Donald Trump".
Several outlets describe the visit as the final flowering of a political love affair that was at first slow to get going.
Typical of these is Zeit Online, which carries the headline "Merkel and Obama: Late Love" and says: "This is the story of a rapprochement between two opposing politicians. And of how they were finally able to get together. The crucial factor was their shared liberal view of the world."
And in the tabloid Bild, columnist Franz Josef Wagner addresses an open letter to Mr Obama in which he writes: "Saying goodbye is difficult for me. It's as if love is flying out of a window, like a butterfly. After Obama we have Trump, and I am closing the window."
With ten games remaining, the seventh-placed Bluebirds are just one point off the top six as they host eighth-placed Ipswich Town in Cardiff on Saturday.
Cardiff face fellow play-off contenders Birmingham City on 7 May, when Derby - currently in fifth - will host Ipswich.
Slade predicted: "It will be intriguing and probably will go to the wire."
Slade's side are currently only ahead of Ipswich on goal difference and one point ahead of ninth-placed Birmingham - both of whom have a game in hand on Cardiff.
Slade believes another 20 points should seal a play-off spot and said: "Maybe we would take playing Birmingham at home to ensure it - that is the sort of scenario you could end up with."
The Bluebirds will be without Brazilian defender Fabio on Saturday, who is banned for one game after his second half dismissal in Tuesday's 2-0 home loss to Leeds United.
But the club are hopeful defender Lee Peltier will be able to return after a foot injury to fill the right back berth.
Slade believes there is a unity between the club and their fans, demonstrated by the ovation the team received after the Leeds defeat.
He added: "Football can be very fickle at times. It can be a tough journey. I have been in many journeys. And it just feels we are slowly turning a corner.
"But do I think we are there? Do I think there is more to come? I do think there is more to come.
"I said that to the players - 'don't put any limit on what we can achieve over the remaining 10 games' because there is always more to find, always more to give, always more improvement to come.
"We are making that improvement, we are getting better."
Striker Federico Macheda has been linked with a loan move to Championship rivals Nottingham Forest and Slade confirmed there had been interest from a number of clubs.
"There may be a possibility, we shall see whether he goes and gets a few games. But if he goes, there will be a 24-hour recall," said Slade.
Greg Moorhouse's hat-trick saw Glenavon snatch victory but Jeffrey said all the opposition goals had been preventable.
"If the players aren't able to learn and eradicate the mistakes, then you've got to see how do you sort that out.
"That's usually when you look to bring other players in," added Jeffrey.
Jeffrey said that Ballymena's defensive short-comings would have been masked in Tuesday's thrilling contest but for the "stupendous and unbelievable display" of Glenavon goalkeeper Jonathan Tuffey.
Relive Tuesday night's Premiership action
"He made save after save after save after save and the simple difference between the teams was Jonathan.
"But I've actually looked at all four (Glenavon) goals and they were all preventable and we keep saying that.
"There was at least one if not two mistakes, within all the goals that we conceded.
"And with the greatest of respect, Glenavon did not have to work overly hard to score their goals."
Following Tuesday's "frustrating" defeat, Jeffrey repeated his season-long mantra that his task at Ballymena is a "work in progress" but in the next breath acknowledged that he may be busy during the remainder of the current transfer window.
"Now is the time we have got to take a little bit of a closer look.
"We have got this far on the journey, how do we kick on?
"We're learning all the time about players. We'll see where that journey takes us."
The Scottish government has agreed an extra £10m worth of investment in the bus industry to allow concessionary travel to continue.
But the amount of money the government reimburses the bus operators will be reduced over the next two years.
Scottish Labour says it will mean higher fares and poorer services, but the government rejects those claims.
Welcoming the agreement between Transport Scotland and Scotland's bus industry, Transport Minister Keith Brown said: "Concessionary travel is a key part of the Scottish Government's social wage and makes a real difference to many of our elderly and disabled.
"Today's agreement secures concessionary travel for the future and ensures the bus industry not only receives all of this year's budget in full but a further £10m to support investment in the industry during tough financial times."
"We are continuing to provide £250m annually to the industry, investing not just in concessionary travel but support for services and new green buses."
EU rules state that reimbursement arrangements with operators must leave them no better or worse off as a result of the National Concessionary Travel (NCT) scheme and the government said fresh independent research allowed them to cut the support companies received.
The current reimbursement rate - 67% of the adult single fare - will be reduced to 60% in 2013/14 and 58.1% in 2014/15.
"The changes to the reimbursement arrangements are based on hard evidence and we have worked with the industry to provide them with some much-needed stability going forward," said Mr Brown.
"But the needs of the passenger must come first and we are encouraging operators to continue to work with us to deliver services for passengers at affordable prices."
The government states that "transitional arrangements effectively provide an additional £15m between now and March 2015 to help the sector adjust".
It points out that Transport Scotland also provides £50m a year to operators through the Bus Service Operators Grant to keep fares affordable and support services that might not otherwise be commercially viable.
However, Scottish Labour MSP Richard Baker said: "The SNP's latest round of cuts to concessionary travel means that hard-working Scots who rely on buses will face increasing fares and poorer services over the next two years.
"There is no point celebrating that pensioners have free bus passes when increasingly they will struggle to fund a bus to use them on.
"It is unacceptable that the SNP have taken the independent and small operators to the wire to negotiate a deal which may not even cover the shortfall this year, leaving bus operators out of pocket and putting a further pressure on fares."
The new deal was given a warmer reception by Cathy Leech, chair of the Scottish Pensioners' Forum.
"We welcome the decision by the Scottish government to safeguard the concessionary travel scheme in light of increased prices on some many other day to day items," she said.
"We are delighted that the Scottish government have the vision to see this as an essential provision, especially for those living in rural areas."
Back-rower Mellor was a free agent following the liquidation of Championship club Bradford on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old, who can also play as a centre, scored nine tries in 26 appearances for the club last season.
"I was looking for an opportunity to step up and play Super League - I did it when I was 18 and I was looking for a way back," he told BBC Radio Leeds.
"I'm not going to sugarcoat it, it's not been a nice place to be, but credit to the lads at Bradford, they've been unbelievable.
"I really do feel for everybody that's there, staff, fans, players it's just an awful, awful thing to happen."
The Supreme Electoral Court will try to determine if Ms Rousseff's and Vice-President Michel Temer's campaign drew on donations from illegal sources.
The probe was requested by the opposition PSDB party.
It comes at a time when Ms Rousseff's approval rating is at a record low.
If it were to uncover irregularities, the court could invalidate Ms Rousseff's and Mr Temer's election and trigger fresh polls.
But experts say in order for that to happen the irregularities would have to be so serious that the judges deem them to have endangered the legitimacy of the election.
Moreover, the inquiry is likely to take many months, if not years, and a fresh election is therefore an unlikely scenario, electoral law experts said.
The case was shelved in February when a judge ruled there was not enough evidence to proceed, but the PSDB appealed against the decision.
The opposition party alleges that there are indications that construction firms involved in a massive corruption scandal donated money to Ms Rousseff's campaign.
The construction firms allegedly bribed politicians and the state oil company, Petrobras, to secure contracts.
The court ruled five to two to re-open the investigation.
Ms Rousseff's popularity has fallen to single digits since her re-election last year, as the economy has gone into recession and corruption scandals involving members of her governing Workers' Party have widened.
In August, hundreds of thousands of people took part in protests across Brazil calling for her impeachment.
There have also been demonstrations backing Ms Rousseff.
Neil Prakash was linked to militant plots in Australia and had appeared in propaganda videos.
He was killed during a targeted airstrike in Mosul on 29 April, according to media reports.
Prakash was considered to be the most-senior Australian militant fighting with the group.
"His death disrupts and degrades ISIL's ability to recruit vulnerable people in our community to conduct terrorist acts," an official said, according to The Australian newspaper.
According to the reports, an Australian woman was also killed in a separate US airstrike last month in Syria.
The woman, Shadi Jabar, was the cousin of Farhad Jabar - the teenager who killed police worker Curtis Cheng in Sydney last year.
She and her Sudanese husband Abu Sa'ad al-Sudani, who was killed in the strike as well, were also allegedly recruiters for the so-called Islamic State group.
Prakash left Australia in 2013 and travelled to Syria where he began appearing in propaganda videos and calling for attacks on Australia.
Jabar left Australia the day before her cousin, who had been radicalised, shot Mr Cheng outside a Sydney police station last year.
This comes after police in Australia recently charged a 16-year-old with preparing an act of terrorism, over an alleged plot to target Anzac Day services.
Australia's government estimates there are around 110 Australians fighting with militant groups in the Middle East.
The £150m contract will involve constructing two new buildings and refurbishing existing buildings.
The first phase of the development, which is being built by McLaughlin and Harvey, is expected to be completed within the next two months.
The whole project is to finish by 2018.
It will serve around 15,000 students and staff.
Ulster University acting vice-chancellor, Prof Alastair Adair, said the awarding of the contract brings the campus "a step closer".
Colin Loughran, chief executive of Lagan Construction Group, said the project is "a landmark build in a key part of the city".
The campus development has sparked a series of planning applications for a student housing scheme in the area.
He said he would scrap the lower rate for young adult workers, currently paid £1.37 less than older colleagues, as an "hour's work deserves an hour's pay".
But he rejected calls for the main rate to rise to £10 an hour by 2020.
Liz Kendall and Yvette Cooper said the Low Pay Commission should be left to decide on differential rates.
And Jeremy Corbyn said the lower rate was "very strange".
The four candidates vying to succeed Ed Miliband have been questioned by union members at an event hosted by the Trade Union and Labour Party Liaison Organisation, one of series of hustings taking place over the summer before September's election.
The event was preceded by sniping between the rival candidates' camps with MP John Woodcock, a key ally of Ms Kendall's, claiming he had been briefed against after warning of the dangers of Labour electing a "continuity Miliband" candidate.
Ms Kendall said Labour faced a huge task getting back into power and would only do so when it regained the trust of people on the economy and was able to offer a vision of a "better life", saying these were not exclusively "Tory values".
Liz Kendall had two objectives in mind in her speech this morning - further differentiating herself from her Labour rivals by putting a strong and positive emphasis on the need for fiscal responsibility and, secondly, trying to burnish her credentials as the candidate the Conservatives fear most.
As one of her supporters said, she is attempting to avoid being the opposition George Osborne would want Labour to be. So there was a straightforward admission that a lot of taxpayers money is spent - in tax credits - to subsidise low pay.
But there's a feeling, even amongst some Blairites, that Liz Kendall is still a work in progress.
One Labour-supporting audience member said: "She is saying all the right things about the scale of the defeat, but I am still not convinced she is the right person to be saying it. I admire her courage, but I am not sure she has the authority to be leader."
She didn't seize the opportunity to put more distance between herself and Ed Miliband on some issues. Nonetheless, she was calm and assured under sustained questioning and delivered her core message with confidence. She may have to show more confidence, though, in departing from her script.
But her supporters are convinced she is making the political weather and are portraying her opponents as more of the same.
"People need to think about who is the leadership candidate that isn't just going to argue for a little bit of change, who is going to face up to the scale of the challenge, who is going to be the candidate that the Tories really fear because they are facing head on people's concerns about their money, about welfare and have a properly broad pitch."
Despite the party's heavy defeat last month, Mr Burnham said Labour must "build on" the manifesto that it stood upon rather than disown it completely.
"It had more to say to my constituents than any other manifesto I had stood on," he said. "But the point is it didn't have enough to say to the whole country. So we don't rip it up, we build on it."
Urging changes to minimum wage rates, the shadow health secretary said it was unfair to pay 18-20 year olds less than the full minimum wage, currently £6.50 an hour.
He said he would scrap the lower rate, currently £5.13, if he was prime minister, while keeping existing rates for under-18s and apprentices. He said he would also stick with a manifesto commitment to raise the main adult rate to £8 an hour by the end of the Parliament in the face of union calls for a higher £10 rate.
"It is hard enough for young people to get on in life, what are we making it harder? Why are we pulling the rug from under them."
Ms Cooper said the party must choose a leader who could "look like a prime minister from the start" not just an opposition leader. "We have to make sure that is about being a Labour prime minister and being proud of Labour values," she said.
And Mr Corbyn said Labour must oppose all spending and welfare cuts announced in next week's Budget.
"Austerity is a code word for greater inequality," he said. "The 100 richest people in this country own the equivalent of 30% of the wealth of the rest of the population. That is grotesque inequality and it is getting worse."
In a speech in the City of London before the hustings, Ms Kendall called for major changes to the government's programme to help the long-term unemployed find work and said the Low Pay Commission should encourage more employers to pay a living wage.
Mr Burnham, meanwhile, also announced plans for a review of charges for workers seeking to take their employers to a tribunal.
The 26-year-old South African, a Finance, Accounting and Management graduate from Nottingham University, worked for Durham's sponsors Brewin Dolphin throughout the winter - something of a departure from his usual post-season routine.
"In the past I got a bit of stick from my missus because I used to tell her I was going to Cape Town for cricket, but when she would phone I would be on Clifton beach because there is much more spare time," Richardson told BBC North East and Cumbria Sport.
Richardson is not alone in preparing himself for a life after sport. The Professional Cricketers Association has a 'Personal Development' scheme engineered to provide players with advice and help on what to do when they retire.
At Durham, team-mate Keaton Jennings is studying accountancy.
"It's boring stuff but if it puts money on the table when I finish cricket then I'm happy with that," Jennings told BBC Sport.
"It takes one turn of the ankle and that's the career over, that is the reality of professional sport.
"The earlier you can get the degree done and get something behind you the better."

"It's been different this time. Coming into the gym after work is more of a grind, but it's refreshed my mind.
"I'm not ready to do a 'nine-five' yet, and I've found my cricket is a lot more enjoyable as a result."
It was a tough transition for Richardson - swapping the sun, sea and sand for the formality of an office role - particularly with the pressure of maintaining his fitness for cricket.
"At first I was a little bit blurred," Richardson continued. "I was worried about it [work] taking up too much time and getting in the way of my cricket development.
"But I had quite a constructive meeting with [head coach] Geoff Cook and [strength and conditioning coach] Mike King - Geoff from the cricket and life side, and Mike from the physical.
"Mike said I wasn't making quite enough improvement as the guys who trained and pushed themselves. I was coming in after work, doing my hours in the gym and leaving without feeling like doing it or putting in the extra yards.
"Geoff and Mike were happy with my cricket, I was making strides but I needed to make decisions now that will benefit cricket in the long-run.
"They said I couldn't use work as an excuse, I had to put my eggs in the basket. I decided to take work on, it started going better and my cricket started going better."
With his youthful looks and easy-going manner the former MCC young cricketer was a popular figure with the company during his five-month stint.
However, clients and seminars have again given way to the crack of leather on willow as he rejoined his county colleagues for the start of the current campaign.

That deal came on the back of important knocks toward the end of the campaign, notably against Sussex, that helped the club avoid relegation from Division One.
Those appearances saw the wicketkeeper-batsman drop his gloves to concentrate on batting duties, with the good form of regular keeper Phil Mustard leaving him a largely frustrated figure.
Richardson now remains guarded on what hopes he has for the forthcoming campaign, which gets underway against Somerset on Wednesday.
"I've got to take it game by game, phase by phase," he said.
"I've got my own goals which I keep to my chest - why should I put myself out there for me to fall?
"I'm waiting to see what Durham's views of me are first, but I kind of know what I want to achieve.
"A couple of guys will be retiring over the next couple of years, we're a team in transition, so we'll see how things come out."
Rhesus monkeys were paralysed in one leg due to a damaged spinal cord.
The team from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology bypassed the injury by sending the instructions straight from the brain to the nerves controlling leg movement.
Experts said the technology could be ready for human trials within a decade.
Dr Andrew Jackson talks about the primate brain chip
Spinal cord injuries block the flow of electrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body resulting in paralysis.
It is a wound that rarely heals, but one potential solution is to use technology to bypass the injury.
In the study, a chip was implanted into the part of the monkeys' brain that controls movement.
Its job was to read the spikes of electrical activity that are the instructions for moving the legs and send them to a nearby computer.
It deciphered the messages and sent instructions to an implant in the monkey's spine to electrically stimulate the appropriate nerves.
The process all takes place in real time.
The results, published in the journal Nature, showed the monkeys regained some control of their paralysed leg within six days and could walk in a straight line on a treadmill.
Dr Gregoire Courtine, one of the researchers, said: "This is the first time that a neurotechnology has restored locomotion in primates."
He told the BBC News website: "The movement was close to normal for the basic walking pattern, but so far we have not been able to test the ability to steer."
The technology used to stimulate the spinal cord is the same as that used in deep brain stimulation to treat Parkinson's disease, so it would not be a technological leap to doing the same tests in patients.
"But the way we walk is different to primates, we are bipedal and this requires more sophisticated ways to stimulate the muscle," said Dr Courtine.
Jocelyne Bloch, a neurosurgeon from the Lausanne University Hospital, said: "The link between decoding of the brain and the stimulation of the spinal cord is completely new.
"For the first time, I can image a completely paralysed patient being able to move their legs through this brain-spine interface."
Using technology to overcome paralysis is a rapidly developing field:
Dr Mark Bacon, the director of research at the charity Spinal Research, said: "This is quite impressive work.
"Paralysed patients want to be able to regain real control, that is voluntary control of lost functions, like walking, and the use of implantable devices may be one way of achieving this.
"The current work is a clear demonstration that there is progress being made in the right direction."
Dr Andrew Jackson, from the Institute of Neuroscience and Newcastle University, said: "It is not unreasonable to speculate that we could see the first clinical demonstrations of interfaces between the brain and spinal cord by the end of the decade."
However, he said, rhesus monkeys used all four limbs to move and only one leg had been paralysed, so it would be a greater challenge to restore the movement of both legs in people.
"Useful locomotion also requires control of balance, steering and obstacle avoidance, which were not addressed," he added.
The other approach to treating paralysis involves transplanting cells from the nasal cavity into the spinal cord to try to biologically repair the injury.
Following this treatment, Darek Fidyka, who was paralysed from the chest down in a knife attack in 2010, can now walk using a frame.
Neither approach is ready for routine use.

BBC News has learned that Derby City Council has called for the right to bring in a levy as a "modest" effort to ensure supermarket spending "re-circulates" in local communities.
Some 19 other local authorities back a so-called "Tesco tax" on big retailers, which could raise up to £400m a year.
The government said additional taxes on supermarkets would push up food prices.
A similar tax already operates in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
The council has made the suggestion under the Sustainable Communities Act, which allows communities and councils to put forward ideas to government to solve local problems.
In its submission, the council says that while supermarkets bring some benefits, they have an overall detrimental impact on the sustainability of local communities.
"Research has shown that 95% of all the money spent in any large supermarket leaves the local economy for good, compared to just 50% from local independent retailers; this levy is a modest attempt to ensure more of that money re-circulates within and continues to contribute to local jobs and local trade," its report states.
The council wants the right to impose a levy on large supermarkets, retain the money raised, and use it to help small businesses. It said it could also use the money to support community centres and parks.
The extra business rates levy, of up to 8.5%, would affect any large retail outlet with a rateable value of more than £500,000.
Ranjit Banwait, leader of the council, said communities in Scotland and Northern Ireland were "already benefiting" from the scheme.
"The revenue that we'll be able to generate will mean that we can support local businesses - especially small businesses," he said.
"We'll be able to improve public services."
The government will have six months to respond. If agreed, the levy would apply not just to the 20 councils seeking change but to all local authorities in England.
And if every one of them took it up, it could cost the big supermarkets alone an extra £190m in tax.
If the levy was imposed on all big out-of-town retailers, including businesses such as Ikea, Homebase and B&Q, it could raise about £400m in total.
But the government has already given an indication of how the idea will be received.
The move would hit low-income families the hardest, said the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).
"We ruled out such a bid for higher taxes under the last round of the Sustainable Communities Act proposals," it said.
"There are much better ways to support small shops."
However, the move has been given a cautious welcome by the former retail boss and High Street campaigner Bill Grimsey. He proposed the idea of a levy in his independent review of the High Street last year.
He called for a one-off levy on retailers and pub groups with a turnover of more than £10m to help finance plans to allow struggling town centres to rebuild themselves for the future.
Mr Grimsey said it was right that the biggest retailers put something back into their high streets:
"Used wisely, it could leave a lasting and powerful legacy. But I don't want this introduced as an annual levy that essentially becomes another tax," he said.
"If it's used simply to plug council budget shortfalls, it won't be fair and it'll be anti-business. This has to be about the High Street, not clobbering big business."
Town centre expert Mark Williams said the current rates system would be better than a supermarket levy at improving town centres.
"Ironically supermarkets are not looking to go out of town. Customers don't like them - those big starships that landed in those green areas - they are now being cancelled and we are now seeing announcements by Tesco to convert sites that they've got into residential [developments]."
Supporters of the move, which include Oxford, Brighton and Hove, Preston, Southwark and Sefton councils, believe the supermarkets can afford it, saying it is just a fraction of the costs that supermarkets had to swallow when VAT was raised in 2011.
But retailers are likely to strongly resist the move arguing that they are taxed enough already. They pay more in business rates, a property-based tax, than any other form of taxation and have been urging the government for a complete rethink on the system.
They will also raise concerns about fresh investment and jobs being put at risk.
The British Retail Consortium has said it is consulting its members on the proposed tax.
The levy imposed by the Scottish government on larger shops selling alcohol and tobacco is set to end next year. The aim of the scheme was to make them contribute to public health measures.
It is clear Derby City Council's idea for an additional tax on retailers south of the border will spark even more heated debate.
Arkadiusz Jozwik, 39, was assaulted in August 2016 in The Stow, Harlow, and later died in hospital.
The teenager, who cannot be identified because of his age, appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court where he denied a charge of manslaughter.
A trial date was set for July and the boy was released on conditional bail.
Mr Jozwik, who was also known as Arek, was assaulted along with a friend outside a takeaway on 27 August.
He was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge following the attack and died from head injuries. His friend suffered hand and stomach injuries.
They include Jeffrey Lichtman and Marc Fernich, best known for their successful defence of the son of New York mafia boss John Gotti.
Guzman has pleaded not guilty to charges that he ran the world's largest drug-trafficking organisation.
He faces life in a US prison if convicted.
Guzman, 60, escaped twice from prison in Mexico, once in a laundry basket and later through a tunnel in a prison cell.
He was extradited to the US in January and is being held in a maximum security prison in New York.
Mr Lichtman confirmed in an email on Tuesday that Guzman had hired him along with Mr Fernich, William Purpura and Eduardo Balarezo.
He said it was too early to speculate on a defence strategy.
"We simply hope to have the chance to give Mr Guzman a zealous defence and the chance to challenge the numerous co-operating criminals who will all be seeking to use him as their Get Out of Jail Free cards," he said.
The new lawyers are reported to be seeking assurances that prosecutors would not try to seize their legal fees as part of a $14bn (£11bn) forfeiture they are seeking from Guzman's alleged profits from the drugs trade.
Guzman is due to go on trial next April accused of running the notorious Sinaloa cartel.
Mr Lichtman and Mr Fernich successfully defended John Gotti Junior - son of the so-called "Dapper Don".
Over the course of five years, juries in four trials failed to reach a verdict against John Gotti Junior on charges of murder and racketeering. Prosecutors gave up their case against him in 2010.
The man, whose identity was not disclosed, called a local zoo asking for help after the animals grew too big for his home.
Despite being illegal in Toronto, reptiles are often sold as pets when they are very young and small.
Indian River Reptile Zoo called it the largest rescue in its history.
"I couldn't believe what I was seeing," Bry Loyst of the Indian River Reptile Zoo told the CBC. "I could not believe that somebody had that many crocodilians and raised them to adulthood. These were not baby little crocodiles. They were adults."
Many of the animals measured about a metre in length. One was three metres long.
Mr Loyst said the man originally intended to run a business, selling the animals, but decided to keep them.
About 20 volunteers from the zoo rescued the reptiles by loading them onto trucks.
Mr Loyst called the rescue "timely" because the zoo just completed construction of its new million dollar Crocodile Rescue Pool with "indoor pools and outdoor access to sunshine".
Most animals at the zoo were abandoned or rescued and cannot return to the wild because they are illegal or could spread disease.
The Uruguay striker, 26, intends to submit a transfer request by the end of the week if a move is blocked.
Suarez told the Guardian and Daily Telegraph that the Reds "promised" he could leave this summer if they did not qualify for the Champions League.
"I gave absolutely everything last season. Now all I want is for Liverpool to honour our agreement," he said.
The interviews were given to Spanish-based journalists from the newspapers. Suarez said: "Last year I had the opportunity to move to a big European club and I stayed on the understanding that if we failed to qualify for the Champions League the following season I'd be allowed to go."
Arsenal have made two bids, with the latest in an attempt to trigger a release clause.
Liverpool, who finished seventh in the Premier League last season, have rejected the offers and insisted the clause does not force them to sell.
Suarez has not travelled with the squad for a pre-season match in Norway because of a foot injury.
"I am 26, I need to be playing in the Champions League. I feel I have done enough to be playing in the Champions League at this stage of my career. Now there is an option for me to do that and I want very much to take it," he said.
"I don't feel betrayed but the club promised me something a year ago, just as I promised them that I would stay and try everything possible to get us into the Champions League."
Liverpool meet Valerenga on Wednesday in their penultimate friendly before the start of the season but Suarez will not feature.
He is due to have a scan on his foot injury in the next 24 hours, joining Daniel Agger, Glen Johnson and Martin Skrtel in staying in England to receive treatment.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers has insisted Arsenal's offer remains well short of Liverpool's valuation.
"If Arsenal want the player they have to produce the value for the player,"
Suarez, who joined the club in January 2011 from Ajax for £22.7m and signed a long-term contract extension in August 2012, scored 30 goals in 44 appearances for the Reds last season.
Liverpool conclude their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Celtic in Dublin on Saturday before starting their Premier League campaign a week later against Stoke City at Anfield.
The issue will be discussed at the British Ecological Society's annual meeting in Edinburgh on Monday.
Species reintroduced to Scotland in recent decades include the white tailed eagle, the red kite and the beaver.
A final decision on whether beavers should remain in the wild is to be made by the Scottish government.
About 1,000 ecologists will gather in Edinburgh for the annual meeting.
Delegates will hear details from some of the 16 rewilding projects in the UK.
Concerns include the transformation of ecosystems to allow rewilding and environmental changes caused by its implementation.
Dr Nathalie Pettorelli of the Zoological Society of London is organising the session on rewilding.
Dr Pettorelli believes the issue stirs strong emotions with members of the public, landowners, farmers and campaigners, and wants science to be at the heart of decision-making.
She said: "Rewilding is an opportunity for conservation, but it needs to be informed by science to optimize chances of success. I want ecologists and social scientists to engage with rewilding, rather than letting it thrive in non-scientific arenas.
"We need to engage to prevent the debate from becoming polarised."
One the experts due to speak at the event is Dr Calum Brown from the University of Edinburgh.
He believes public interest represents a major opportunity for rewilding, but competing interests must be acknowledged and accommodated.
He added: "Since the last ice age, Scotland has gained and then lost a remarkable variety of species. There is now increasing interest in restoring some of this lost biodiversity and establishing rewilded areas where natural processes can once again occur uninterrupted.
"However, there are many other interests at play in modern Scotland, and restoration projects must take account of their social, political, economic and environmental contexts if they are to be successful."
The victim died at the weekend from severe injuries she sustained during the 16 December attack in a bus. The incident has caused a national outcry.
Police are expected to charge five of six suspects with murder on Thursday.
If convicted, they could face the death penalty, which is rarely carried out in India.
The sixth suspect is reported to be under 18 and a juvenile. Police have ordered a bone test for him to confirm his age.
Meanwhile, her family has said they would have no objection if a new anti-rape law is named after her.
By Soutik BiswasIndia correspondent
How India treats its women
Earlier, India's Junior Education Minister Shashi Tharoor called on the authorities to reveal the name of the gang-rape victim so that the new anti-rape law could be named after her.
"Wondering what interest is served by continuing anonymity of the Delhi gang rape victim. Why not name and honour her as a real person with own identity?" Mr Tharoor wrote on the micro-blogging site Twitter late on Tuesday.
"Unless her parents object, she should be honoured and the revised anti-rape law named after her. She was a human being with a name, not just a symbol," he wrote.
Social activist and former police officer Kiran Bedi supported Mr Tharoor's idea.
"Many of the American laws... which have been made to perpetuate the memory or the suffering of the victim, only to remember that this is what happened and this is the spirit behind the law... I think it's a good idea," Reuters quoted her as saying.
But some critics called the suggestion "deplorable" and India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party vowed to "oppose any such move".
On Wednesday, thousands of women marched through the streets of Delhi, heading for Rajghat - the memorial of India's independence leader, Mahatma Gandhi.
Many held up placards calling for an end to sexual assaults on women.
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit was among the protesters who called for stringent anti-rape laws.
"We are marching to create awareness among people that women should be respected. Because a woman is a mother, a woman is a sister, she is a wife and she is a daughter," Juhi Khan, a member of the National Commission for Women said.
Protests have been taking place every day since the brutal gang rape with protesters expressing anger over attitudes to women in India and calling for changes to the laws on violence against women.
The woman and a male friend had been to see a film when they boarded the bus in the Munirka area of Delhi, intending to travel to Dwarka in the south-west of the city.
Police said she was raped for nearly an hour, and both she and her companion were beaten with iron bars, then thrown out of the moving bus into the street.
On Tuesday, police sources said the driver of the bus had tried to run her over after throwing her out, but she was saved by her friend, Press Trust of India (PTI) reported.
According to official figures, a woman is raped in Delhi every 14 hours, while women across the country say they are frequently subjected to sexual intimidation and violence.
The Indian government has also been heavily criticised for failing to protect women.
Officials have since announced a series of measures intended to make the city safer for women.
These include more police night patrols, checks on bus drivers and their assistants, and the banning of buses with tinted windows or curtains.
The government has also set up a committee under a retired Supreme Court judge to recommend changes to the anti-rape law.
Late on Monday, the authorities in Delhi launched a new telephone helpline for women in distress. The 24-hour helpline number 181 will operate out of Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's office and will be connected with all the 185 police stations across the city.
But many of the protesters say that women are viewed as second-class citizens, and that a fundamental change in culture and attitudes, backed up by law, is needed to protect them.
One man who will be celebrating more than most on 21 April is Frank Ward, of Pembrokeshire, who was born just hours before the Queen in 1926.
While lying in hospital, Mr Ward's mother heard the church bells of Bow, east London, ringing out across the city to signal the young Elizabeth's safe arrival.
"I am three hours older than the Queen. I look better at 90," he joked, but agreed the Queen had more hair than him.
"I think she's done very well, especially when she didn't think she would become Queen."
Like Her Majesty, Mr Ward has lived through war and personal tragedy, having been injured following an explosion on a ship off the French coast while serving with the Royal Navy.
He has eight children and eight grandchildren and moved to Pembrokeshire in 1978, settling in the Pembroke area.
While the monarch will mark her birthday at Windsor Castle, Mr Ward will be tucking into cake with his fellow residents at the care home where he lives near Tenby, which has been decorated to mark the occasion.
One person who will not forget the day she met the Queen easily is Cardiff schoolgirl Maisie.
She was presenting Her Majesty with a posy at an event to honour the Army's Royal Welsh regiment in June 2015 when she was accidently hit in the face by a saluting soldier.
But at the time, Maisie's father, Regimental Sergeant Major Martin Gregory, said his daughter had seen the funny side.
"She was a little bit upset but I let her wear my hat and carry my sword. She was soon cheerful," he said.
Few villages with a population of just a few thousand people would have received four visits from the Queen during her reign.
But few places hold such a special place in her heart as the small former mining community of Aberfan, according to former Merthyr Tydfil council leader Jeff Edwards.
Mr Edwards, 57, was one of the survivors when a colliery spoil tip collapsed on his village school, killing 116 children and 28 adults in October 1966.
"I think it [Aberfan] is important to her because of the tragic circumstances," he said.
"It was one of the most tragic events of her reign and it happened early on in her time as Queen."
Mr Edwards has met the Queen six times, including three of her Aberfan visits - to open a new community centre in 1973, to plant a tree in a memorial garden in 1997 and for the opening of Ynysowen school in 2012.
He met her three other times, including on two occasions at Buckingham Palace garden parties, once when she said to him "you're the little boy with the white hair", recalling their first meeting.
"She is very caring, with a wicked sense of humour," he said.
"I can remember her laughing [during the school opening] that we had huge curtains that she had to open to reveal what was a small plaque.
"I joked with her it was because Welsh slate is so expensive."
Esther Buckley, receptionist at the Royal Oak Hotel in Welshpool, Powys, met the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh when they visited the town's new livestock market in April 2010.
"She came to the hotel for a lunch. Afterwards she went up into one of the rooms we had put by for her to rest and powder her nose," she said.
"I think we were all quite shocked to be honest. It's not every day that you hear royalty is coming.
"It was quite daunting because we had the special services coming in to check everything and we had to keep the area around the hotel clear. It was quite amazing really.
"I remember she was wearing a blue dress. She was lovely and very charming. When they came out and said thank you to all the staff they shook everyone's hand and were really sincere."
Caernarfon town clerk, Katherine Owen, has met many members of the Royal family over the years, but one particular meeting with the Queen and Prince Philip at Caernarfon Castle in 2010 sticks in her mind.
She said: "The mayoress introduces me and as I'm halfway down my curtsy he [Prince Philip] says 'oh, isn't it lovely to see a young and sexy town clerk for a change', which he quickly followed up with 'but where's your wig?' - for once in my life I had no idea what to say.
"My brave response was 'I think it's thank you your highness but I'm not sure and I had to leave my wig behind as I'm coming out to lunch with you and it would ruin my hair', to which he replied 'as long as it's for my benefit that's fine'.
"That's the thing about them [the Royal Family], they're just normal people. They are so easy to talk to, you think you're not going to know what to say, but you just act normal.
"Perhaps I was more nervous meeting her [the Queen] than any of the others just because who she is. But there was no need to be, she was very, very easy to deal with."
Former Royal harpist to the Prince of Wales, Claire Jones, from Crymych, Pembrokeshire, has performed for the Queen on a number of occasions.
"I performed for her in 2009, one-to-one at the Royal Academy of Music, and I vividly remember the build up and feeling such excitement and joy at the thought of performing for our monarch," she said.
"I remember feeling so anxious before she entered the room, as there is a great deal of protocol of course, however once she came in and I was face to face with her, it felt so relaxed immediately.
"She just puts people at ease and really shows such enthusiasm for Wales and for our national instrument - the harp."
On a separate occasion, following a performance at Buckingham Palace, the pair enjoyed a cup of tea together as they waited for others to join them in the state dining room.
"She was warm and friendly and really showed great support, which to me as a 24-year-old meant a lot.
"I remember phoning my parents on the way home from Buckingham Palace and my mother nearly fell off her chair when I told her I'd just had tea with the Queen at Buckingham Palace."
The former Everton and Manchester City midfielder died after being hit by a train at West Allerton station in Merseyside. The death is not being treated as suspicious.
To honour Tynan, a minute's applause is also being held at Women's Super League and Women's Premier League matches.
The Football Association said it was "deeply saddened" by the death.
WPL Northern Division side Fylde said on Twitter that they were retiring Tynan's shirt in her "loving memory".
"We want to remember Zoe in the best possible way: a hugely talented player and an immensely likable character," Fylde manager Luke Swindlehurst said.
Tynan played for England at various youth levels and was recently included in the under-19 squad for a training camp at St George's Park.
Many High Street banks are offering attractive incentives, such as free Amazon vouchers, travel cards and even discounts on pizzas.
Several banks also try to entice students by paying credit interest - for money they have in their account.
But however desirable such deals may appear, they are not always a bargain.
In many cases, the cost of borrowing money outweighs the benefits of credit interest and free gifts or discounts.
"Very often some of the add-on benefits can be appealing, but you should always look beyond these and consider your more long term requirements," says Kevin Mountford, banking expert with MoneySuperMarket.
Even if you have already opened an account, it is now easy to switch to another bank.
If you are likely to spend a fortune on clothes, or take-aways - or you travel a lot - you will need to study the cashback offers and discounts very carefully.
If you are good at budgeting, and are likely to have cash sitting round in your account, you may want to go for the bank that offers the highest credit interest.
But if you are a student who needs to borrow from time-to-time, then study how much you can go overdrawn without having to pay a fee - the interest-free overdraft (see table below).
So even though Santander offers good credit interest, for example, you could pay £600 a year if you exceed your overdraft limit, and so become liable for £50 a month in unauthorised borrowing charges.
"I still think the ability to borrow as much as possible interest free is the major benefit," says Andrew Haggers, a personal finance expert with MoneyComms.
Halifax and HSBC allow students to borrow up to £3000 with no interest charges.
However Lloyds, TSB and Santander offer a maximum of £1500.
Any more than that and Lloyds, for example, will charge you 8.2% Equivalent Annual Rate (EAR), plus £6 a month.
So borrowing an extra £1500 from Lloyds, on top of your agreed overdraft, could cost you £195 a year.
A fuller version of the tables above can be found here
Remember too that the free overdrafts on offer are "maximum" amounts. What the bank actually gives you will depend on your credit rating. If you haven't been resident in the UK for three years, you may also be granted a smaller overdraft.
And check whether the overdraft facility will be extended into the year you leave university. That is when you may actually need it most.
David Black, personal finance analyst at DJB Research, advises students to budget, and plan their spending.
"Always arrange overdrafts in advance - unauthorised overdrafts, if permitted, could prove seriously expensive and you may get charged a fee if a transaction is not honoured," he says.
If you are very canny with your spending, you may even consider borrowing from your Halifax or HSBC current account - for free - and investing it in a savings account.
If you are prepared to lock your money away for six months, you could earn up to 2%, according to Savings Champion.
As a member of the EU, the UK has been included in trade deals the EU has negotiated. There are 22 trade agreements between the EU and individual countries, and five multi-lateral agreements covering multiple countries.
This means that if the UK wants to retain preferential access to the markets of the 52 countries covered by these agreements, it would have to renegotiate trade deals with all of them.
Britain is a large market, so there is a clear incentive for other countries to negotiate a deal. Advocates of Brexit argued that it would be in nobody's interest to interrupt the current trading partnerships.
But which of the other models discussed as potential post-Brexit options for the UK are realistic?

The UK's trade deal challenges
Reality Check: Who has access to the single market?
Reality Check: Would UK have to make new trade deals?
Reality Check: Could there be free trade without free movement?
Norway is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) - the single market - along with the 28 current EU members, Liechtenstein and Iceland.
In return for that access to the single market, it pays a contribution to the EU budget and has to sign up to all the rules of the club - including its common regulations and standards.
People from across the EU are free to live and work in Norway too, but the country is exempt from EU rules on agriculture, fisheries, justice and home affairs. The downside for Norway is that it has no say over how the rules of the single market are created.
Senior Leave campaigner and Tory leadership hopeful Boris Johnson wrote in the Telegraph on Sunday that the UK would continue to have access to the single market.
But would this be possible while also reducing immigration and cutting costs, as many Leave campaigners want?
Ireland's Finance Minister Michael Noonan has said the UK is unlikely to secure full access to the single market unless it continues to allow free movement of labour.
And a senior German MP and ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel, Michael Fuchs, told the BBC that it would be possible for Britain to maintain access but at a price.
"The per capita fee of Norway is exactly the same as what Britain is now paying into the EU," he said. "So there won't be any savings."
How Norway's relationship with the EU has split views
Switzerland has a free trade agreement with the EU and a number of agreements which give it access to the single market for most of its industries.
But it does not have full access to the single market for its banking sector and other parts of the services sector, which together make up almost 80% of the UK economy.
Its agreement also requires the free movement of people.
The Swiss voted against joining the EEA in December 1992.
Instead, the country, which sells over 50% of its exports to the EU, has agreed more than 120 bilateral agreements with Brussels, designed to secure Swiss access to Europe's markets.
Switzerland contributes billions of dollars to EU projects. Its bilateral deals are now in danger of unravelling over the question of free movement of people, after a referendum two years ago went in favour of restricting the number of workers arriving from the EU.
While no such restriction has yet been implemented, Brussels retaliated swiftly, stalling agreements and freezing participation in education projects.
Can Switzerland show UK route to Brexit?
Turkey is not part of the EEA or the European Free Trade Association but does - like tiny Andorra and San Marino - have a customs union with the EU.
This means it faces no tariffs (taxes or duties on imports and exports) or quotas on industrial goods it sends to EU countries.
The customs union does not apply to agricultural goods, or services.
Turkey also has no say on the tariffs it has to impose on goods it imports from non-EU countries, as it has to apply the EU's common external tariff to those goods (and is not involved in setting it).
Reality Check: Would the UK face tariffs outside the EU?
Free trade area v single market - what's the difference?
The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (Ceta) between the EU and Canada is not yet in force, although it has been in the making for seven years.
It gives Canada preferential access to the EU single market without all the obligations that Norway and Switzerland face, eliminating most trade tariffs. However, some "sensitive" food items, including eggs and chicken, are not covered by it.
Canadian exporters will have to prove that their goods are entirely "made in Canada", which imposes extra costs, to prevent imports entering the EU through a "back door".
The services sector is only partially covered by Ceta.
Crucially, a Ceta-type deal would not give UK financial services the EU market access that they have now. It would be hard for London-based banks to get "passporting" rights for their services in the EU - rights that they value hugely now.
It would also mean that firms that export to the EU would have to comply with EU product standards and technical requirements without having any say in setting them.
And critics of such a plan point out that the UK has a complex web of ties to the EU - much more than Canada.
Reality Check: Would Canada's deal with the EU be a good model for the UK?
Some advocates of Brexit have said the UK should adopt a unilateral free trade policy - dropping all tariffs and relying on the World Trade Organisation's framework - as reported by the Financial Times.
For example Hong Kong's free trade policy means the Chinese special administrative region maintains no barriers on trade. The Hong Kong government says it "does not charge tariff on importation or exportation of goods. Import and export licensing is also kept to a minimum."
This approach may have some appeal to Brexiteers whose ideology favours no trade restrictions.
It would be likely to gather less support from disaffected Labour voters and left-wing critics of the EU.
No tariffs of any kind could have a strongly negative effect on the UK's agriculture and manufacturing sectors, as importing goods such as food and steel would in many cases be cheaper than producing them in the UK.
Reality Check: Free trade free from regulation?
Viewpoint: Brexit puts UK on new economic path
If talks - with the EU and others - do not reach a deal before Brexit takes effect, trade rules would default to World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules.
The UK and EU would be obliged to apply to each other the tariffs and other trade restrictions they apply to the rest of the world.
That is because the WTO rules allow countries to discriminate in favour of a trade partner only in a limited number of circumstances - including a full bilateral trade deal.
Legalisation on same-sex unions falls under state legislation, and a number of states have divergent rules.
Mexico City and the southern state of Quintana Roo allow gay marriages, while Coahuila allows same-sex civil unions.
Congress in Yucatan on the other hand banned same-sex marriage in 2009.
Seven out of ten authorities in Colima approved the constitutional change, which had been passed by the state's congress earlier this month.
Only two Congressmen voted against the change, arguing the state should legalise gay marriages rather than restricting same-sex couples to civil unions.
News of the change in the law in Colima came on the same day as Pope Francis told reporters that gay people should not be marginalised but integrated into society.
Speaking to reporters on a flight back from Brazil, the Pope reaffirmed the Roman Catholic Church's position that homosexual acts were sinful, but homosexual orientation was not.
Gay marriage was legalised in Uruguay earlier this year, and in Argentina in 2010.
In Brazil, the Supreme Court in May voted overwhelmingly in favour of allowing same-sex couples the same legal rights as married heterosexuals, effectively authorising gay marriage.
However, full legalisation of gay marriage in Brazil still depends on the passage of a law in Congress.
O'Sullivan, 21, scored four goals, including two on his debut, in a 13-game loan spell with Stanley two seasons ago.
He has also spent time at Southport and Barnsley and was on loan to Rochdale and Bury last season.
O'Sullivan will stay with Accrington until 7 January 2017.
His return to the Wham Stadium comes three days after the arrival of midfielder Chris Eagles and defender Janoi Donacien.
The former Republic of Ireland international O'Sullivan is in line to play in Tuesday's EFL Cup first-round tie at home to Bradford.

"I'm speechless, so happy. It's just a massive thing and I don't think I'll realise how big for a while," Downie told BBC Sport.
"That was probably one of the hardest competitions I've done and when the score came through I was speechless."
GB's Joe Fraser, 18, came fifth in his first senior year, scoring 82.982, while 16-year-old Alice Kinsella came 10th in the all-round event.
"To come to a European Championships, do my best gymnastics and come away third, I can't get my head around it," Hall said.
Hall has a world team silver medal to his name and was at the Olympic Games in Rio last summer.
However, he was reserve in both competitions and did not compete.

"My first senior major and I've shown the world what I'm made of. I'm so happy. I can't believe it," he said.
The Kent gymnast qualified third best and improved his overall score in the final, with increased apparatus scores on floor, pommel, rings and parallel bars.
"In the training gym I was thinking 'just go through the same as qualifying and nothing is impossible'," he said.
"I started hitting floor, hitting pommel, did my best rings and I thought nothing could stop me after that."
The jobs losses at the site in Newark Road took effect at the end of March.
Workers came under threat of redundancy after parent company PepsiCo announced plans to install new packing equipment.
Steve Switzer, site leader at Walkers Lincoln, said bosses had been successful in reducing the number of redundancies from 87 to 72 out of about 250 employees at the site.
The factory, which makes Quavers and some of the Walkers Sensation ranges, has been in the city for more than 70 years.
It was originally the home of Smiths Crisps and in January there were about 250 people employed at the site.
Karl McCartney, Conservative MP for Lincoln, said he was disappointed by the redundancies but added he hoped the move would "ensure the long-term viability of the site".
Mr Switzer said: "We are investing in new state-of-the-art packing equipment at our Lincoln site, a move that will significantly change the way we pack our goods and improve efficiency.
"We understand this has been a difficult time for our employees but as we outlined at the time, these changes will secure the long-term future of the Lincoln site and growth of the Walkers business in the UK."
Brenda Wilding, 86, from Littleport, Cambridgeshire, called emergency services after experiencing stomach pains caused by cancer medication.
Paramedics stopped the ambulance for a stray dog on the A10. They then took the dog with them.
Mrs Wilding said it was "a nightmare". The ambulance service has apologised.
"I was just left when they went out, I was left in the ambulance alone," said Mrs Wilding, who is in remission for bladder cancer.
"The whole experience was very bad."
Paramedics were taking Mrs Wilding to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
Mrs Wilding said she was "vomiting violently" while the ambulance staff dealt with the dog.
Her daughter Linda said she "deserves better".
In a letter, the East of England Ambulance Service claimed Mrs Wilding was happy to have the dog "come in to the warmth" because of animal ornaments seen at her home.
The trust apologised for the incident and said staff understand their actions were "against trust guidelines".
A spokesman added: "They now understand there is no legal responsibility to stop for a domestic dog."

The man entered a convenience store on Burton Road in Derby on 9 January and struggled with the shopkeeper before fleeing empty-handed.
The robber, who was accompanied by another man, was described as in his 20s wearing a dark scarf and a beanie hat.
The shopkeeper was not seriously injured in the attack.
Bellew, 33, won the belt by beating Congolese Ilunga Makabu at Goodison Park in May in what he described as the "biggest fight of my life".
He takes on Flores, 37, at Liverpool's Echo Arena after the American hassled him for a fight on social media.
"Everything he has said he's going to pay for it," Bellew told BBC Sport.
"I understand if people are asking if I am struggling to get up for this. But when I step between the ropes I fight for one thing, and that is my life. And I can't back down.
"His mouth has got him this fight," added the Liverpudlian. "He's been following me for two years saying I'm not a proper cruiserweight, I'm a bum and he'll knock me out. But it doesn't mean anything until you get in the ring with me. He's writing cheques he can't cash."
Flores is a former American national amateur champion and has won 32 of his 35 professional fights, with his most recent defeat coming against Kazakh Beibut Shumenov for the WBA interim version of the world title.
"It has been a dream of mine my entire life to win a world title," said Flores. "So many people give up on their dreams and say 'I can't do this, I'm not good enough'."
Flores has also sparred with a handful of elite-level fighters in his hometown of Las Vegas, including British heavyweight David Haye and WBC light-heavyweight champion, Canada's Adonis Stevenson.
"I don't care who he's worked with or sparred because it's different with 10-ounce gloves," added Bellew, who has 17 knockouts in 30 fights.
"He's a good fighter, yeah, but is he world title level? No. Not a chance. His last fight wasn't even for a proper world title. Every big fight he's had he has lost."
Disney Magic is among more than 644 cruise ships visiting Scotland this year.
The visits are expected to bring a record 525,000 cruise passengers to the country, according to Cruise Scotland.
Last year, Scottish ports welcomed 460,546 visitors and 501 cruise ships.
Passengers on Disney Magic are expected to make visits to Inverness and Loch Ness before later continuing their cruise.
The facility in Coatbridge is capable of washing and drying 600,000 items of bed linen and towels a week for hotels and restaurants around Glasgow.
Cupar-based Fishers also unveiled new livery for its 80-strong fleet of green and white trucks.
The livery features iconic tourism landmarks to tie in with the 2016 Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design.
The first truck will feature imagery of Glasgow's Finnieston Crane, the Clyde Auditorium and the statue of the Duke of Wellington - complete with its famous traffic cone.
Managing director Michael Jones said: "This will be the largest single laundry investment ever to be made in Scotland and is testament to Fishers' confidence in the strength of the country's growing hospitality industry and our continuing commitment to the sector.
"We're immensely proud of our new super laundry which underlines our commitment to investing in the business in order to service the needs of our customers in the tourism and hospitality sector here in Scotland.
"Being close to our customers is really important to us and this new facility brings us 60 miles closer to the growing Glasgow hotels market."
It happened as the man cycled on the B800 Kirkliston to South Queensferry at about 10:00.
Police said the man's silver mountain bike collided with a black Mercedes.
The driver of the car, who was uninjured, stopped and has been helping police with the inquiries. The road was closed for several hours while crash investigation were carried out.
Officers have appealed for witnesses.
Sgt Ross Drummond said: "We have been unable to trace any witnesses to this accident.
"I am appealing for anyone who saw either the man on his bike - he was wearing every day clothing and was not in specialised cycling clothes - or the car around this time.
"We would like to hear from anyone who can assist us in any way."
In a separate incident, police are also seeking information after a 59-year-old man was injured following a collision with a marked police car on Edinburgh's Wester Hailes Road.
It happened at about 23.35 on Saturday.
Police said the man was being treated for non life-threatening injuries in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
The plaque was taken down just 24 hours after it had been unveiled at Bellarena station during a royal visit in June.
The Department of Infrastructure said it was taken down due to "vandalism fears".
Translink said the plaque had been taken down but would be mounted in a more suitable location.
A Translink spokesperson confirmed the plaque would reinstated "in early October, following internal discussions to expedite the process".
After all, Wednesday 31 March will mark a "big day" that is all about new partnerships.
Life in local government will never be the same again.
The happy couple graciously agreed to allow us to film them partaking of one of the services that councils provide - marriage.
Of course, local authorities carry out many less glamorous functions too.
Waste management, cemeteries, leisure centres to name a few.
Their duties tended to be summed up as "emptying the bins and burying the dead".
But now they are taking on some important new powers.
The 11 super-councils will take most planning decisions.
Only those deemed to be "regionally significant" will be retained by the environment minister.
In a year's time, the local authorities will get powers for urban regeneration.
Tied to that, they will have responsibility for local economic development and tourism.
The super-councils will also take over more than 300 off-street car parks from the Department for Regional Development.
The idea is that councils will be able to take the lead in shaping towns, cities and rural areas.
One example being held up is that of Manchester, where the council has led a striking city regeneration programme in recent years.
The chief executive of the Northern Ireland Local Government Association (NILGA), Derek McCallan, is "unapologetic" about his enthusiasm.
"It's a very compelling change for the average ratepayer and for the average politician. But there'll be no such thing as an average council, because there'll be no poverty of ambition from them. You can be sure of that," he said.
According to Mr McCallan, similar models of local government elsewhere in the world have brought more prosperity.
"In places like the Netherlands, about 88% of development takes place in towns and cities driving their own development. Here, councils will now be able to be a real driver of economic development, rather than a consultee or a recipient of a grant."
He, and others at the heart of the transition, believe it will take a few years for the new councils to bed-in and get used to using their new powers effectively.
Most politicians will surely agree that working to improve local economies should be high on their priority list.
But some political disagreement in council chambers is inevitable.
Already, there has been a row in the Mid-Ulster super-council, when a council meeting in "shadow" format resulted in a ban on the sale of poppies or Easter lilies on council property.
And there has been controversy over Newry, Mourne and Down Council's decision to place the Irish language above English on its signs.
But on the eve of the handover, the super-councils are emphasising the potential positives rather than the possible pitfalls.
On Wednesday, there will be little, if any, change to council services - the public will probably not see much to suggest that a revolution in local government has begun.
It may take several years before we see if this huge change in the way Northern Ireland is run will have a truly transformative effect.
The 20-year-old joined the Robins from Northern Ireland side Glentoran in August but has only featured once for the League One team.
He could make his debut for the Mariners in Saturday's home match against Wrexham.
Paul Hurst's men are currently third in the table, 14 points off league leaders Cheltenham with three games in hand.
Tom Homer's converted try and two Rhys Priestland penalties put the Blue, Black and Whites ahead.
Bath withstood severe pressure after the break, but their defence finally buckled when Schalk Brits crossed with 10 minutes left.
Hodgson then added two late penalties to secure victory for Sarries, their biggest league comeback in history.
Victory stretched Saracens' lead at the top of the table to seven points, with second-placed Exeter travelling to Worcester on Sunday.
Relive Saturday's Premiership action
Defeat was tough on Mike Ford's side, who produced a superb defensive display after the interval, at one stage spending almost 10 minutes camped inside their own 22 yet surviving unscathed.
But Bath - beaten by Saracens in the Premiership final only eight months ago - could not avoid a sixth league defeat in nine matches.
Since lifting the trophy at Twickenham, Mark McCall's men have been in imperious form, winning their opening eight Premiership games in 2015-16 before losing to Harlequins on their most recent league outing on 9 January.
Trailing 13-6 after 70 minutes, Saracens drew level when Brits wriggled over after an eye-catching break from England hopeful Maro Itoje.
Hodgson, who had kicked two penalties before converting Brits' score, landed two more three-pointers in the final seven minutes to seal victory.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall:
"If Maro keeps on playing like that, I'm sure he'll get an opportunity [with England]. I thought he was really good in the second half; every carry made a difference.
"We were very composed at half-time - Brad Barritt led the team magnificently.
"We didn't think we played too badly in the first half. We just needed to pressurise them, use the wind and improve our set-piece.
"Once we got in front I thought we were magnificent. We had 15 minutes of almost perfect rugby."
Bath head coach Mike Ford:
"I'm proud of the first half, proud of the performance. The boys got stuck in.
"There's 13 league games left for us; there's another two before we reach halfway. We have to accumulate to get to the top four and we're going to go for it.
"Saracens conceded six penalties from mauls and didn't get anyone in the sin bin, not even a talking-to.
"[Richard] Wigglesworth kicks it dead from the halfway line, it's our scrum feed and the referee rules that it's us to be penalised on our own ball and we're under pressure again.
"It's small margins and you need that rub of the green with the referee."
Saracens: Ransom; Taylor, Bosch, Barritt (capt), Wyles; Hodgson, Wigglesworth; Barrington, Brits, Du Plessis, Itoje, Hamilton, Rhodes, Burger, Wray.
Replacements: Saunders, Thompson-Stringer, Lamositele, Smith, Brown, Spencer, Mordt, Tompkins.
Bath: Homer; Rokoduguni, Banahan, Bowden, Agulla; Priestland, Cook; Auterac, Webber, Thomas, Ewels, Day, Garvey, Louw (capt), Houston.
Replacements: Dunn, Lahiff, Wilson, Ellis, Mercer, Faosiliva, Evans, Clark.
Referee: Dean Richards.

The defending champion Penguins will face Nashville Predators in the finals.
The Predators had earlier beaten Anaheim Ducks 4-2 in the Western Conference finals to reach the Stanley Cup finals for the first time.
Left wing Chris Kunitz scored in the second period of overtime to seal the best-of-seven series against Ottawa.
After Kunitz opened the scoring, Mark Stone equalised before goals from Pittsburgh's Justin Schultz and Ottawa's Ryan Dzingel saw the sides head into overtime.
Game one of the best-of-seven finals takes place in Pittsburgh on Monday (01:00 BST on Tuesday).
The 33-year had indicated that the recent competition in Equatorial Guinea would be his last for his country.
Toure, who made his debut against Rwanda in April 2000, played in all six matches as the Ivorians secured their second African title after a dramatic 9-8 penalty shootout win over Ghana in the final.
I do love my country and especially love football, but at some point, there comes a time to stop
Speaking to the local media in Abidjan, Toure said: "It is with great emotion that I inform you that it is time to say goodbye."
"My goal was to win the Africa Cup of Nations and I must admit that it was a very difficult decision to make.
"I do love my country and especially love football, but at some point, there comes a time to stop."
Toure was part of Ivory Coast's 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cup squads, but played in only one match at last summer's finals in Brazil, in the final group game against Greece.
He also played in seven Africa Cup of Nations, losing two finals on penalties - to Egypt in 2006 and to Zambia in 2012.
"Sometimes it plays in your mind, but with this incredible success you have to forget the past and enjoy the moment," he said.
The veteran defender says he wants to bring an end to his 15-year international career by leaving the current Ivory Coast manager boss Herve Renard with a smile and not a major headache as he searches for his successor.
"I am going to introduce my successor at the heart of the defence to you. He is tough. This is Ousmane Viera Diarrassouba, the new boss of the defence," Toure added.
"He is my successor and will mentor young Eric Bailly and Wilfried Kanon. I rarely make a mistake in my choice, so Viera will perfectly replace me in the team."
Having begun his career at ASEC Mimosas in Abidjan, Toure moved to Arsenal in 2002 and was part of the 'Invincibles' side who went through the whole season unbeaten in 2003/4.
He was signed by Manchester City in 2009 before joining Liverpool on a free transfer last summer.
Julio Guzman was rejected due to his party's allegedly failure to follow procedure in nominating its candidate.
The board also rejected wealthy businessman Cesar Acuna for handing out cash to voters during the campaign.
Mr Guzman was running second to front-runner Keiko Fujimori - daughter of jailed ex-President Alberto Fujimori - in recent opinion polls.
Polls put Mr Acuna in fourth place. Together the two candidates had nearly a quarter of vote preferences.
Mr Guzman had vowed to call mass protests if the court disqualified him from the 10 April vote, which will elect a new Congress and replacement for President Ollanta Humala.
A recent opinion poll suggested conservative candidate Keiko Fujimori would secure around 35%, with Mr Guzman taking some 16% and Mr Acuna with more than 3%.
If no candidate gets at least 50% of votes in the first round, a run-off will be held on 5 June.
The electoral court ruled on Wednesday that Mr Guzman's All for Peru party "seriously and irreparably violated its own rules", by failing to comply with electoral procedure when nominating its candidate.
"We are really stunned by this decision. We consider it totally unjust," said party spokesman Daniel Mora after the ruling.
Mr Acuna's candidacy came under scrutiny a month ago after a television programme revealed that he had handed out cash to stall holders and to a disabled young man during a visit to a street market.
Mr Acuna, who was running for the Alliance for Progress, described his gesture as "humanitarian aid", but the court ruled he had "engaged in prohibited conduct".
The two candidates can make an extraordinary appeal to the court, but analysts say they have little chance of overturning the ruling, AFP news agency reports.

Writing in the journal , an international team of researchers described the animals eating clay and drinking clay water, often by using leaves as sponges.
This behaviour, shown in the footage above, increased after 2005, at the same time as the animals started to feed much less on raffia palms, which became scarce because they were used by local tobacco farmers.
"Raffia is a key source of sodium, but to our surprise the sodium content was very low in the clay so this does not appear to be the main reason for the new clay-bingeing," said Vernon Reynolds, an emeritus professor at Oxford University and the study's first author.
"Instead, we believe the low concentrations of minerals present in their normal diet of fruit and leaves suggests that the clay is eaten as a general mineral supplement."
Eating earth, which scientists call "geophagy", is a known habit among chimpanzees as well as other animals.
A different community of the animals elsewhere in Uganda has been shown to self-medicate using a particular combination of soil and leaves with anti-malarial properties.

The group, all in their late teens or early 20s, had been studying medicine in Sudan.
Some of their relatives, who have travelled to the Turkish-Syrian border, told the BBC they were gravely concerned about their welfare.
The medics are believed to have entered Syria more than a week ago.
They have been named as Ismail Hamadoun, Tamir Ahmed Abusibah, Mohammed Osama Badri, Hisham Muhammed Fadlallah, Ahmed Sami Khider, Nada Sami Khider, Lena Mamoun Abdelgadir, Rowan Kamal Zine El Abidine and Tasneem Suliman.
BBC Turkey correspondent Mark Lowen said some in the group had sent messages to their parents saying they were doing voluntary work to help Syrians.
Our correspondent, who described the group as British-Sudanese, said their families had travelled to Gaziantep in southern Turkey to try to find them.
One of the fathers said he was not getting enough support from British and Turkish authorities and did not understand how Turkey allowed such a large group to cross the border.
The Foreign Office said it was providing consular assistance to their families.
The agonising wait goes on for the British-Sudanese families hoping for news of their children.
The father of one of the missing medics has told me he no longer holds out hope that they are still in Turkey and is convinced they've already crossed into an area of Syria controlled by so-called Islamic State.
The group is 13-strong, mainly British-Sudanese and were studying at a faculty in Khartoum, where the fear is they may have been radicalised and recruited by IS.

Special Report: Islamic State Conflict
The nine Britons are understood to have been joined by two Sudanese medics, one who is American-Sudanese and one Canadian-Sudanese.
The Observer newspaper reported that the students' parents believed they were in Tel Abyad and wanted to work with IS, but they were almost certain they did not plan to take up arms.
The medics are said to have been born in England but went to Sudan to study and experience "a more Islamic culture".
A friend of Tasneem Suliman in Khartoum told the BBC the young woman and her friends had "radically changed" a few years ago and started wearing the full veil, which "shocked a lot of their friends" in the British Sudanese community.
A Home Office source told the paper the medics would not automatically face prosecution under anti-terror laws if they returned to the UK if they could prove they had not been fighting.
Correction 23 March 2015: An earlier version of this story named one of the medics as Mohammed Elbadri Ibrahim. This has now been changed to Mohammed Osama Badri.
Rory Best is rested under the IRFU player management programme and Rob Herring replaces him at hooker and also as skipper.
Luke Marshall, Rory Scholes, Ricky Lutton, Franco van der Merwe, Chris Henry and Roger Wilson also come in.
Jack Cuthbert, Dougie Fife, Sean Kennedy and Anton Bresler start for Edinburgh.
They are locked on 23 points with Ulster after eight Pro12 games.
Herring will captain the province after signing a two-year contract extension earlier this week.
Second row Alan O'Connor could make his first appearance of the season after being included on the bench.
Ulster are aiming to bounce back after an 8-3 defeat by Irish derby rivals Leinster last week.
The hosts are the second highest try-scorers in this year's competition while Edinburgh have the best defensive record.
Alan Solomons makes four changes from the Edinburgh side who beat Newport Gwent Dragons at Murrayfield last week.
Greig Tonks and Tom Brown and miss out through injury. Cuthbert comes in at full-back while Scotland international Fife returns on the wing.
Sam Hidalgo-Clyne is sidelined with a hand-injury and is replaced at scrum-half by Kennedy.
Fraser McKenzie is also on the injured list so Bresler comes into the second row.
Ulster: P Nelson, A Trimble, D Cave, L Marshall, R Scholes, P Jackson, R Pienaar, K McCall, R Herring (capt), R Lutton, D Tuohy, F van der Merwe, I Henderson, C Henry, R Wilson.
Replacements: J Andrew, A Warwick, W Herbst, A O'Connor, N Williams, P Marshall, S McCloskey, L Ludik.

Replacements: N Cochrane, R Sutherland, J Andress, J Ritchie, H Watson, N Fowles, M Allen, B Kinghorn.
The issue was being debated at the Kirk's General Assembly.
It follows a vote earlier this week to allow congregations to appoint gay ministers in civil partnerships.
The Church's presbyteries, or local areas, will now be asked to vote on extending this to ministers in same-sex marriages, before it can be approved.
Commenting on the Assembly's decision, Very Reverend David Arnott, co-ordinator of the principal clerk's office, said: "The General Assembly understood this to be a logical extension of the benefits which accrue to those in civil partnership.
"Very Rev Prof Iain Torrance assured the assembly the Theological Forum will bring a report on same sex marriage to a future Assembly, which we will look forward to.
"Out of a pastoral concern for the whole church, the General Assembly decided to pass this overture to the presbyteries who will report to the assembly in May 2016."
If a majority of Presbyteries give their approval, the matter will return to the General Assembly next year, where a final decision will be taken.
Following Saturday's vote on civil partnerships, supporters of the move said it was time for the church to be inclusive and recognise the "mixed economy" of modern Scotland.
However, opponents warned that the move was contrary to God's law, would prove divisive and lead to resignations.
The issue of gay ministers has divided the church for some time.
In 2009 some members attempted to block the appointment of the Reverend Scott Rennie, who is gay, to Queen's Cross Church in Aberdeen.
At the Kirk's gathering in 2011, commissioners voted to accept gay and lesbian clergy - on the condition they had declared their sexuality and were ordained before 2009.
Last year, the general assembly voted to allow presbyteries to debate whether congregations could opt out of its traditional stance and appoint gay ministers.
"This move will mean we pay more tax in the UK," the company said.
The relocation will concentrate a "modest number of senior executives" in its London operation.
The US coffee giant said its leaders would "better oversee the UK market" from the capital, adding that the UK was its largest European market.
Last year, Starbucks paid £5m in corporation tax, its first such tax payment since 2009.
The move followed pressure from politicians and campaigners.
Part of the tax avoidance row centred on Starbucks transferring money to its Dutch sister company in royalty payments.
Starbucks' chief financial officer told a committee of MPs in 2012 that a tax deal struck with Dutch authorities had been "an attractive reason" for basing operations there.
Heather Self, director of tax at legal firm Pinsent Masons, told the BBC that more tax paid in the UK would probably mean less tax paid by the company elsewhere.
"They're not going to create a bigger tax bill for the group as a whole," she said.
Collecting tax from global companies is a complex issue for governments.
Ms Self said firms should not be taxed twice on the same income, but it is reasonable for governments to expect companies to pay tax somewhere.
"The question is not necessarily what's moral and what's not, but is the tax following the real economic activities?" she added. | A group of local councils in England is formally asking the government for new powers to tax large supermarkets.

Nicknamed the "Big Basket," and belonging to the home decor Longaberger Company, the building is looking for a buyer.
Employees who work inside the seven-storey basket building are being moved to another location in Ohio.
It opened in 1997 and once housed 500 employees of the company, the Columbus Dispatch reports.
Now, the company is facing hard economic times. The last employees working in the building are moving out this week.
"The Big Basket is like the St Louis Arch," Jim Klein, a former Longaberger president, told the newspaper.
He wants to get the building on the National Register of Historic Places.
"It's a really important part of south-eastern Ohio history."
The building's shape was the company's founder's idea, the Dispatch reports. It cost $30 million (£22.5 million) to build.
Dave Longaberger had a very specific idea for the building, the Dispatch reports, and would not settle on a design until architects agreed to make it look exactly like one of the company's baskets.
A Facebook group titled "Preserving the Longaberger 'Big Basket' as a National Treasure" has 1,683 members. Mr Klein keeps members updated on his mission to get the building on the National Register in the group.
"Wish we could all donate enough $ to buy the big basket and turn it into a museum. I realise this isn't feasible at all, but wishful thinking," one member writes.
Another writes, "It isn't fair. It's a landmark Dave built. What happened to this [company]. So sad."
Not everyone at Longaberger is sad to be leaving the basket, though.
Brenton Baker, director of marketing and communications for the company, told the Ohio Advocate that the office they are moving to is more convenient and they look forward to being closer to their colleagues.
"It is not a sad thing we are leaving," Mr Baker told the newspaper.
"People keep saying they feel sad for the employees. Don't feel sad for us. I cannot wait for next week. For me, next week can't come fast enough. For the people on the outside, it's probably not that way."
It comes after Prince William has been accused by some newspapers of shirking royal engagements, with the Sun demanding: "Where's Willy?"
The answer, for a few days last week, was the French Alps with his children and his wife.
The pictures will delight those who support the royals and who are avid consumers of images of Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Such people will argue that everyone is entitled to downtime.
William's critics will continue to question whether he's reluctant to fully embrace his destiny. They insist he could do more in support of his soon-to-be 90-year-old grandmother, the Queen.
Defenders of the future king stress that he combines his work as a royal with his job as an air ambulance pilot and his role as a father.
The current 4G network ranks only 54th in the world in terms of coverage, the government-appointed experts said.
Lord Adonis, who led the investigation, told the BBC that coverage on the UK's trains and motorways was "frankly appalling".
He urged ministers to ensure there would be far fewer dead spots on the next-generation network.
"The government has been putting more investment and obligation requirements on the mobile operators but we think that needs to be taken further," Lord Adonis, who heads the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC), told the BBC's Today programme.
"We particularly think there is a big problem with our road and rail networks. Up to 25% of the time it is not possible to get a decent signal."
Highways England and Network Rail must take "direct responsibility" for improving coverage on roads and railways, he added.
Ofcom welcomed the report but indicated the study that gave rise to the UK's low ranking might not be reliable.
The communications regulator's targets are based on the percentage of properties that have access to a mobile phone signal rather than coverage to all parts of the country.
But the figure quoted by the NIC was based on data gathered by an app used by volunteers measuring the amount of time they had access to a 4G network over the course of each day. Ofcom is understood to be concerned that the app does not measure coverage across the country.
"We agree that mobile coverage must improve, so we're pleased the NIC shares our ambition for universal coverage," said a spokesman for the communications regulator.
"Our rules mean that virtually all UK premises must receive a 4G signal by the end of next year, and we're also making more airwaves available to boost mobile broadband.
"Last month, we challenged mobile operators to explore how to reach all remote areas and transport lines.
"We will shortly publish robust data on 4G in the UK, to help inform decisions on improving coverage."
Lord Adonis acknowledged that the crowdsourced data gathered by OpenSignal was not perfect, but said it was "based on 15 million users worldwide and 60 million measurements in the UK - no one's got better data than that".
A 5G standard does not yet exist, but the technology is expected to surpass 4G to provide faster data uploads and downloads when it is deployed, some time after 2020.
The NIC said mobile connectivity had become a "necessity" in society and 5G would play a crucial role in the economy.
"The UK's networks are not complete. There are too many digital deserts across the country and the availability of our 4G network is worse than many countries including Albania, Panama and Peru," the commission said.
Its report called on the government to become a "digital champion" by, for example, creating a dedicated cabinet minister.
Roadside networks needed to be made "fit for the future", while the railway network must "rapidly improve connectivity", it said.
The necessary infrastructure for both should be in place by 2025, the report said.
The NIC predicted the need for tens of thousands of small wireless cells in towns and cities for devices to connect to the 5G network.
The idea is that these would have less range than the current mobile phone masts, but there would be more of them and they would be better positioned to ensure blanket coverage.
The report called on local authorities to work with network providers to make this possible.
The commission said the government and Ofcom must "ensure basic outdoor mobile services are available wherever we live, work and travel".
It said the two bodies should develop a "meaningful set of metrics that represent the coverage people actually receive and use these to determine a mobile universal service obligation setting out the minimum service level people should expect to receive".
Regulation in this area must "keep pace" with the rapid evolution of the mobile communications markets, in order to allow new firms to "provide services that the existing market has not delivered", the report added.
A spokeswoman for the Treasury noted that the chancellor had already committed £1bn to support 5G trials as well and fibre broadband.
"We want the UK to become a world leader in 5G, which is why we asked NIC to carry out this study," she said.
"We will consider their recommendations carefully and respond at Budget 2017."
The station, attached to Manchester Arena, was shut after the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert, which left 22 people dead and dozens injured.
More CCTV footage of bomber Salman Abedi has been released and police are appealing for people who might have seen him carrying a blue suitcase.
Forensic teams have also been seen searching a landfill site in Bury.
The Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, Ian Hopkins, told the BBC on Tuesday that Abedi had been known to the force for "relatively minor matters" - but not for extremist views.
Staff were visibly upset as they returned to work for the first time, after being some of the first responders on the ground on the night of the attack.
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Transport Secretary Chris Grayling were among those to lay wreaths at the station as it reopened.
Mr Burnham told the BBC: "People went above and beyond what you would expect. Those who rushed into the danger were station staff.
"In these moments, you do see the best of people, you see the best of our public services and it is quite awe-inspiring to hear that."
By Michelle Adamson, BBC Manchester reporter at Victoria station
There is a sombre atmosphere among commuters as Victoria stations reopens.
The heartache is still raw following the Arena attack and some commuters are in tears as they attempt to get back to their normal routines.
People have been emotional but what unites them all is a steely defiance to carry on. Commuter Hannah Khan, 32, said: "I just want to hold my hands out and hug everyone."
Black cab driver George Berry, 60, from Bury, is back on the taxi rank at Victoria Station.
He said he had "mixed feelings but I'm glad to be back at work".
He said the lives of those not directly affected by the attacks would be returning to normal.
"They won't forget, but you have to make a living."
Liam Sumpter, managing director of Northern Trains, which run out at Manchester Victoria, said 15 members of staff were among those first on the scene.
"They provided first aid and comfort to those victims without any thought to their own safety and without any training in that sort of response," he said.
"They did the whole industry proud and I've got no doubt that they made a big difference on the evening."
BBC news correspondent Frankie McCamley spoke to staff returning to work, who told her it was strange to be back and that the bombing was an experience they would never forget.
One worker described how he had had to drag someone to safety on the night, but said the whole incident was "still a blur".
The station reopening comes as the investigation into the attack continues.
Mr Hopkins told BBC Radio Manchester that Abedi had been known to the police for theft, receiving stolen goods and minor assault in 2012.
However, he said he was not known to the government's Prevent programme, which aims to deradicalise young people or prevent others from being radicalised.
"(He) was not on any sort of Prevent agenda," he said. "Obviously I am not privy to what the security service did or didn't know about that individual at this time. But from a police perspective that's what I knew."
On Monday, police released a new image showing Abedi on the day of the attack with a blue suitcase.
Officers are appealing for people who might have seen him carrying it in the Wilmslow Road area or the city centre between 18 and 22 May.
Det Ch Supt Russ Jackson, from the North West Counter Terrorism Unit, said: "I want to stress that this is a different item than the one he used in the attack.
"We have no reason to believe the case and its contents contain anything dangerous, but would ask people to be cautious."
He added: "The public should not approach the case if they see it but contact police immediately on 999."
New CCTV footage has emerged that appears to show Abedi shopping at a convenience store.
The footage was recorded in a shop close to the flat where the suicide bomber was in the hours before the attack.
The BBC has given the footage to investigating officers.
Greater Manchester Police have asked anyone with information to contact the Anti-Terrorist Hotline in confidence on 0800 789 321.
Police have also been carrying out searches at a tip next to the M66 motorway, between Bury and Heywood.
Officers were seen standing on guard at the entrance to the Viridor site, as well as on a public footpath around it.
A number of other searches were carried out on Monday, including in Whalley Range and Rusholme, Manchester, Chester, and Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, where a 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences.
A total of 16 people have been arrested in connection with the investigation. Two have been released and 14 remain in custody.
Mr Hopkins said there were 18 scenes that were still being guarded and forensically examined across Greater Manchester.
He also said that the investigation was set to continue for some time and that "a significant team of detectives" would be brought together ahead of the "inevitable court cases".
On Monday night at 22:31 BST, exactly a week after the attack, a moment of silence was held in Manchester's St Ann's Square after more tributes had been laid for the victims.
Hundreds of people attended and broke into applause, as well as chants of "Manchester", in another showing of solidarity in the city.
Irina Tomic, 17, from Warrington whose friends had been at the concert, said: "I wanted to come here to pay my respects. It feels like everyone has come together."
Ariana Grande has said she will return to Manchester to play a benefit gig for the victims of the attack.
The Great Knot, a small wader, has attracted dozens of bird watchers from far and wide to Titchwell's RSPB reserve on the coast.
Only five have ever been spotted in England and this is the second to come to Norfolk.
Titchwell volunteer Geoffrey Fitt said it was a very rare and unusual visitor.
"It breeds in north-east Siberia and normally this time of year heads for the coasts of south east Asia or Australia."
The last Great Knot appeared on Breydon Water in July 2014.
The 29-year-old Dutchman, who began his career at Ajax, most recently played for Al-Ain in the United Arab Emirates.
Deportivo signed Babel as Joselu, who is on loan from Stoke, faces two months out with a knee injury.
"I'm very excited. It is a dream come true to play in La Liga," Babel told the Deportivo website.
"I feel good but not yet ready to play.
"It is always difficult for a player who has not had a pre-season, but with my experience I will be able to overcome this."
Max Aitken, from the Stirling area, left the hospital at about 17:00 on 15 May.
He was seen on CCTV the same day at about 19:35 in Edinburgh's West Port Street and was last seen heading in the direction of the Grassmarket.
Mr Aitken is described as about 5ft 6in with a muscular build.
He was last seen wearing a beige jacket, a pink polo shirt and navy tracksuit bottoms with light stripes down the side.
He was also wearing grey sandshoes or trainers.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "There has been no information on Max's whereabouts since and we are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare."
Figures from the City regulator show that 120,969 who cashed in a pension fund between July and September last year took the whole lot out.
In contrast just 58,021 people used the money to buy themselves an income, said the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
But some people cashing in their pots may have invested it elsewhere - in property, or an ISA, for example.
The majority of these taking out cash - 88% - had savings of under £30,000, which would have bought them a relatively small income.
Of those people taking an income from their funds, 84% were taking a yield of less than 4% - considered to be a prudent amount to prevent running out of money before they die.
However, more than 24,000 took an income worth more than 10% of their savings, a level that is considered unsustainable in the long run.
"Many aspects of the freedoms are working very well but there are aspects which give cause for concern," said Tom McPhail, retirement specialist at Hargreaves Lansdowne.
He said income withdrawal rates were "mainly at a prudent level", and people had not been put off buying annuities.
The FCA figures showed that 13% of people taking money out of their funds bought an annuity between July and September.
Many in the industry had worried that people would be put off buying an annuity - an income for life - as a result of the pension changes introduced in April 2015.
However, 64% of annuity-buyers were sticking with their existing provider, rather than shopping around to get the best deal.
In this respect, "market competition appears not to be working", said Tom McPhail.
John Perks, managing director of retirement solutions at insurance company LV= described the figures as "extremely worrying".
"This means most retirees are missing out on getting the most from their retirement savings, and we believe we are on the cusp of a pensions mis-buying scandal," he said.
The FCA figures also show that relatively few people are using the government's free advice service.
Just 17% of those withdrawing money from their savings pots used Pension Wise in the three month period.
"This is concerning as they would likely have been subject to a substantial tax hit on the withdrawal and there is the potential that they did not fully understand the tax implications of their decision," said Jon Greer, pensions technical expert at Old Mutual Wealth.
Those taking money from their pension pot after the age of 55 are allowed to take 25% of it tax free, but the rest is subject to income tax.
The Treasury pointed out that two million people people have visited the website.
A spokesman said it thought the system was working well: "Our pension reforms have given people real freedom and choice over how they access their retirement income and the government is ensuring that this new system works in practice and that the market is delivering for consumers.
"We encourage people to shop around and understand their options before making a decision, that's why we set up the free and impartial pension wise service."
The FCA data also suggests that many people are failing to take advantage of so-called Guaranteed Annuity Rates (GARs). These pensions typically promise to pay out an income of as much as 10% a year of the value of the pot, relatively speaking an excellent return.
But 68% of those who could have qualified for a GAR, had they waited until they were old enough to claim it, did not do so.
Straight after the match, McCann said it was probably his side's "worst performance" since he took over in May.
Posh, eighth in League One, were beaten by a side that only had 13 league goals all season prior to the match.
"I was just thinking about the next day and how to get the players to perform on Saturday," said McCann on Thursday.
"No-one is leaving any stone unturned. If anyone's thinking any different, think again."
McCann admitted Posh were close to signing an unnamed player, as the club look to reverse a run of just one win in six matches.
"It was probably the worst it's hit me, that defeat by Oldham. I'm usually on quite a level ground, win lose or draw," McCann told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
"But I didn't recognise the team on the pitch. They hurt as much as me and the fans. A lot of people think they don't, but they do.
"They've got points to prove to a few people. It's amazing when a team unites and comes together and wants to rally, that happens because it's special."
The Spireites, who beat Port Vale to prevent their relegation from being confirmed on Friday, will join Coventry City in the fourth tier next season after a three-year stay in League One.
The Iron dominated the game from start to finish, controlling possession and territory to secure themselves a top-six finish.
They took the lead in the 21st minute via Paul McGinn's own goal. He headed into his own net after Josh Morris' corner had been flicked on at the near post by Neal Bishop.
Scunthorpe added a second goal eight minutes before the break, Ivan Toney leaping to beat goalkeeper Thorsten Stuckmann to Bishop's looping cross and nod home.
Devoid of attacking ideas and seemingly reluctant to push for a route back into the game, the second period followed pretty much the same, one-sided pattern.
And, though Stuckmann came to the away side's rescue when denying Paddy Madden and a cracking curler from Stephen Dawson, he could not keep out another clumsy goal when Toney bagged his second in the 73rd minute.
Tom Anderson headed in a consolation goal in stoppage time, but by then the Spireites' fate was sealed.

Speaking in Paris as he met French counterparts, the chancellor said there was "goodwill and a willingness to engage" with British arguments.
But he would not be drawn on reports a referendum could be brought forward to 2016 if negotiations concluded quickly.
Mr Osborne is planning to visit other EU capitals in the coming months.
His visit came as UK universities launched their campaign for a "Yes" vote in a future in-out referendum, scheduled to take place before the end of 2017.
Mr Osborne, who is holding meetings with French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron, its Finance Minister Michel Sapin and Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, said all sides "wanted to get on and talk".
Analysis, by BBC Paris correspondent Lucy Williamson
After all the talk of roadblocks and differences, today's meeting had a rather different feel. Both Mr Osborne and Mr Macron talked about "a win-win approach" on Britain's proposed reforms of the EU.
We want a Europe that works for all its citizens, said the chancellor, adding that France agreed the interests of non-eurozone countries like Britain should be protected.
His French host was keen to emphasise the need for reform. The warnings against an "a la carte" Europe were gone. "I think we have the basis of a common agreement," Mr Macron said. "France wants reform that strengthens Europe, not reform that weakens it. But I've heard nothing today that was incompatible with that."
The devil, of course, will be in the detail of those reforms. Asked about a timetable for the British referendum, Mr Osborne didn't rule out holding it early. But broad agreement on the need for reform is one thing, getting 28 countries to sign up to specific measures quite another.
He told the BBC: "I don't know anyone claiming the negotiations are going to be straightforward but you hear a lot of goodwill here and a willingness to engage because we all want to see Europe working better for the citizens of the entire EU.
"And now you hear French politicians acknowledging there needs to be fair treatment for those countries that aren't in the euro as the eurozone integrates and there is the potential for a win-win agreement."
Mr Osborne's visit marks a new phase in the negotiating process, in which the technical detail of the UK's requests are being considered.
David Cameron, who visited Paris, Berlin and other EU capitals in the wake of May's election victory to set out his government's broad objectives, said the discussions were "proceeding quite well, but there'll be lots of difficulties and problems and road blocks ahead to get the sort of deal I think is necessary".
Speaking in Indonesia, where he is on a trade trip, Mr Cameron said he did not have a referendum date in mind, amid reports that ministers favoured next June: "When the negotiation is complete then we'll set the date for the referendum," he said.
The prime minister has not set out in full detail what he wants but his key demands include:
To get what it wants the UK believes it will need to rewrite treaties agreed by all 28 EU members.
Q&A: UK's planned EU referendum
Meanwhile, the Universities UK group - whose members include 133 executive heads of UK university institutions - has said it backs Britain's membership of the EU. Vice-chancellors launched a "Yes" campaign alongside shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna and pro-European Tory MP Damian Green.
Dame Julia Goodfellow, president of Universities UK, told the event in London they must "stand up and be counted".
"It is abundantly clear that the UK's membership of the European Union has an overwhelmingly positive impact on our world-leading universities, enhancing university research and teaching," she said.
"The case for staying in Europe is about ensuring the future prosperity of the UK, it's about maximising the chances of new discoveries that enhance the society in which we live, it's about the UK's standing in the world."
UKIP, which is campaigning for a "No" vote in the referendum, criticised Universities UK for entering the debate.
Deputy leader Paul Nuttall, an MEP and former university lecturer, said: "Given that universities are supposed to be the bastions of open-minded learning, it seems wrong that an institution governing the interests of British education should embroil itself in a political debate that has seen people denied any democratic say whatsoever on how Britain should be governed for 40 years."
And Conservative eurosceptic John Redwood said attempts to present a Yes vote as the "friendly status quo" were misleading.
"They aim to run a campaign claiming that... Yes is the risk free option, and that No would mean all sorts of dire futures which they intend to portray by lies and scare stories," he wrote on his blog.
As well as appearing on the long-running show, she taught Prince Rainier and Princess Grace to dance, performed for the Queen and choreographed a dance sequence for the Beatles.
Such was her prestige in the world of dance, she was asked to host Strictly Come Dancing but turned it down.
Spencer died peacefully while listening to waltzes, her daughter said.
Live updates: Tributes to Peggy Spencer, the 'doyenne of ballroom dancing'
Spencer, who moved to Norfolk in her later years, started teaching dancing in air raid shelters during World War Two and continued to teach until just two years ago.
In 1953 Come Dancing - which ran from 1949 to 1998 - became a dancing competition in which separate regions of the UK went head to head, battling for the trophy. Presenters included Terry Wogan, Michael Aspel, and Angela Rippon.
Spencer's role on the show was both as a choreographer and judge.
Daughter Helena Anderson described her mother as having had a "very illustrious career".
Mrs Anderson said: "She actually died in my arms yesterday morning and she was wearing her sparkly shawl and her sparkly gloves and she was wearing her favourite perfume.
"We were listening to Ross Mitchell's waltzes. And she just slipped away very peacefully."
Despite teaching ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev the tango, Spencer particularly enjoyed instructing novices and encouraging them to take their first steps on the dance floor.
Mrs Anderson said if a beginner had approached her mother saying they had "two left feet", she would not be deterred, saying: "Come on, I can teach anybody to dance."
She added: "I shall miss her. I loved her dearly. I lived with her until four months ago when things got a bit difficult. She had had a long and wonderful life."
The company said it would meet its targets and increased the amount it was paying out in dividends.
But it also said that London would need fewer homes if the UK chose to leave the EU.
Berkeley said leaving the EU could lead to lower growth.
The company said adjusted pre-tax profits rose 10% to £242m in the first half of the year.

The virus, which has no symptoms 80% of the time, is blamed for causing stunted brain development in babies.
About 3,500 cases of microcephaly have been identified in Brazil so far.
And medical staff in Recife, a state capital in north-east Brazil, say they are struggling to cope with at least 240 cases of microcephaly in children.
The city's Health Secretary, Jailson Correia, a specialist in tropical diseases, told the BBC he and others needed "to fight very hard".
"This is a major public health challenge, probably the most serious we have had to face in recent Brazilian history - and already it's become a globalised issue," he said.
He was speaking in a situation room, where a large map of Recife shows where mosquitoes are most prevalent - and many areas are peppered with small pins to mark microcephaly cases.
The connection between Zika and microcephaly has not yet been definitely established - but there is growing evidence, with traces of the virus having been found in affected babies, their mothers and their umbilical cords.
Mr Correia said a spike in infections by another mosquito-borne disease, dengue fever, in the first part of last year may in fact have included cases of Zika, which would explain the spike in microcephaly cases later in the year, with a peak last November.
"We may be talking about Recife having 50,000 to 100,000 people exposed to Zika in the first semester of 2015," he said, "and we are now seeing a secondary wave of cases with microcephaly."
At the Oswaldo Cruz hospital, one of Recife's largest, mothers waited patiently in the tropical heat for their babies to be examined.
Many had travelled for hours.
One young woman, Erone Maria Le Lima, had brought her two-month-old daughter, Caroline Vitoria, whose head was seen as being smaller than normal just before she was born.
"I was caught by surprise," she told me, "but we are going to do everything to make sure it's going to be OK, to make her life better."
The doctor in charge of the department, Maria Angela Rocha, said staff had been overwhelmed by a rise from an average of five cases of microcephaly a year over the past six years to about 300 in the past six months.
"The mothers are stressed, and the professionals too have a lot of stress," she said.
"There is a lot of insecurity for the families."
Recife is an urban sprawl in a low-lying coastal area with a warm, humid and showery climate creating puddles and other bodies of water that can harbour mosquito larvae.
At City Hall, Mr Correia highlighted an aggressive campaign that had cut the numbers of households harbouring mosquitoes.
But these are conditions replicated in many other tropical cities, and the advice from Recife's health department is to raise awareness about the risks as early as possible.
Victims and their families have accused the protesters - who believe non-Sikhs should not be getting married in Sikh temples - of threatening behaviour.
In some cases, protesters have barricaded themselves inside gurdwaras to prevent ceremonies taking place.
Last year the windows of a family's house in Coventry were smashed.
The incident took place just hours before a mixed faith wedding in a nearby gurdwara.
The father of the bride told BBC Asian Network the house was targeted because his daughter was marrying a Hindu in a Sikh temple.
He said: "Some of these people didn't want the wedding to go ahead. This was the way for them to frighten me."
The couple ended up having a police escort for the wedding.
In July a Sikh woman and her Christian husband were locked out of their own wedding in Swindon.
More than 40 protesters had barricaded themselves inside the gates of the Sikh temple.
The bride's mother pleaded with the men to call off their action but the gates of the gurdwara remained shut.
One of the protesters, speaking anonymously to the BBC Asian Network, said: "The last thing I want is to go to a gurdwara and cause trouble. I can say hand on heart that we have never resorted to violence. We don't want to do this."
But he said he believed it was hypocritical for a bride or groom to go through a ceremony when they do not truly believe in the Sikh faith.
"No-one is telling you not to marry your son or daughter to whoever you like - but don't use our guru as an excuse to do it," he said.
There are around 300 gurdwaras in Britain and each is run by elected committees of worshippers.
The rules on the anand karaj, which is the formal name for the Sikh wedding, are set by the religion's governing body which is based at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India.
In 2007 it advised gurdwaras the anand karaj should only be between two Sikhs and the protesters say some gurdwara committees are not respecting the faith by allowing non-Sikhs who do not believe in the religion to marry there.
Professor Gurharpal Singh, from the School of Oriental and African Studies, says the rise in mixed faith weddings has led to objections.
Prof Singh, an expert in the Sikh faith, said: "Previously mixed marriages were rare and they were - in a sense - tolerated. But now we are seeing a greater number of mixed marriages and correspondingly the reaction against those marriages from those who believe that the formal Sikh tradition says that only Sikhs should marry Sikhs."
The Sikh Council - an umbrella body for Sikh organisations in the UK - has condemned the violence and threats but agrees with the sentiment of the protesters.
The council's secretary general, Gurmel Singh, said: "I would say there is no place in a modern Britain for any community to resort to violent threatening behaviour."
But Mr Singh said: "The person getting married has to accept the concept of one god and renounce any other beliefs they may hold which are contrary to that.
"They would also need to understand what the Sikh marriage entails. They would need to adopt (the surname) Singh or Kaur as they are what defines a Sikh. We don't have legal powers so it is not legally enforceable but it is a social contract a contract of commitment."
The protests have made many gurdwaras incredibly nervous about conducting mixed faith weddings and, while some said they were willing to hold ceremonies, they did not want to speak about the issue publicly.
BBC Asian Network has learned of couples struggling to book weddings in some temples and of other couples getting married in secret, in front of a handful of guests.
One Sikh bride who got married to her Christian husband in secret in December sacrificed a traditional big Asian wedding for a tiny ceremony in front of a few relatives. She did not want to give her name for fear of reprisals.
"The night before the wedding we were wondering what to do if there was any trouble - it was really stressful and upsetting," she said.
Dr Piara Singh Bhogal has sat on the committee that runs the Ramgariha gurdwara in Birmingham and he said he shared the protesters' views on Sikh-only weddings but objects to the way protesters are ruining the most important day of a couple's life.
"This issue now is becoming quite serious because ceremonies have been disrupted. I am hearing about once a month, sometimes twice a month ceremonies are being disrupted. People are getting scared," he said.

More than one million - equivalent to the population of Dublin - have fled their homes since the offensive started in October last year.
Just how much devastation has the battle caused?
TAP HERE TO FIND OUT MORE
The man, who is in his 20s, is being treated in hospital in Multan after suffering burns to 50% of his body.
His family say the couple were having a relationship but he did not want to marry her. The woman says she acted in self-defence after being attacked.
Hundreds of acid attacks are reported in Pakistan each year but it is rare for men to be the victims.
The incident in Multan took place in the early hours of Tuesday. Local journalists say the man was seen stumbling out of the woman's house, screaming and covered with acid.
A local police official quoted by AFP news agency said the man had gone to visit the woman "as usual and she threw acid on his body after he once again refused to marry her".
The man had been able to turn, so the acid burned his back but not his face, the officer said.
The salon helping acid attack victims
How many acid attacks are there?
Pakistani broadcaster Dunya TV says women are the victims in about 80% of acid attacks in the country.
Experts say acid is easily available in South Asia, and many victims are attacked after rejecting suitors or as a result of family disputes.
A suicide bomber killed at least 17 people at a bus station in Biu, witnesses say, while a second bomber was caught by a crowd and reportedly beaten to death.
In Jos, three bombs thrown from a car killed 15 people at a bus station and the university.
February's presidential election has been postponed because of the unrest.
The vote is now expected to take place on 28 March.
President Goodluck Jonathan, who was visiting the north-eastern garrison town of Baga, insisted that the army was winning the war against Boko Haram.
The army recaptured Baga from Boko Haram last week. The group still controls much of the north-eastern state of Borno and more than three million people have fled their homes.
Attacks in Kano and Potiskum on Tuesday claimed more than 50 lives. No group has said it carried them out.
It has produced advice for scientists and the media on choosing names.
The WHO says Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Spanish Flu are examples of what to avoid because they mention specific locations.
Instead, names should contain generic terms that are "easy to pronounce".
The WHO said several new human infectious diseases had emerged in recent years and some had stigmatised certain cultures, regions and economies.
Dr Keiji Fukuda, assistant director general for health security at the WHO, said: "This may seem like a trivial issue to come, but disease names really do matter to the people who are directly affected."
Dr Fukuda said certain disease names had created a backlash against members of particular religious or ethnic communities.
They had also put up barriers to travel, commerce and trade, he added, and in some cases triggered the needless slaughtering of animals.
"This can have serious consequences for people's lives and livelihoods."
The WHO has listed a number of best practices for naming new diseases which have not been recognised in humans before.
They include using specific or generic descriptive terms if they are known, such as 'severe', 'progressive' or 'respiratory disease' and making names short and easily pronounceable.
Any acronyms for longer names should be checked, the advice adds.
Disease names which incite fear, include people's names, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or refer to specific occupations, for example Legionnaires' disease, should be avoided.
The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceuticals has several research projects on bees - including one using honey to find plant-derived drugs.
It has teamed up with charity Buglife to plant pollen-rich flowers around its Redwood Building.
Dr James Blaxland said it would "increase awareness of the plight of bees".
Cardiff University has three bee hives on the roof of the building, with more set to be installed at some of its other sites.
Dr Blaxland, fellow members of the school, research group Pollen8 Cymru and students have planted a mixture of wildflowers, including dandelions, and bulbs at the site.
"It increases people's awareness of the plight of bees, which are losing areas where they can forage from," he said.
"It also increases people's knowledge of where honey comes from and also the research that we are doing at the school."
One of Cardiff University's various bee projects has uncovered a Welsh honey with as much antibacterial potency as New Zealand's manuka honey.
Buglife is working to turn gardens, parks and unused urban sites in Cardiff into "rich and vibrant habitats" for pollinators, such as bees, beetles, wasps and butterflies.
Michelle Bales, of the charity, said: "Pollinators are in massive decline at the moment, mainly due to habitat loss, pesticides and things like that, and cities are actually good foraging for them."
She added: "It's a really nice link together - by increasing the plantings around the university, it's not only good for their studies but also it will increase the habitat for wild pollinators in the city."
Burr, 56, was sacked by fellow National League side Chester on 7 April.
Harriers are close to relegation to National League North, lying 11 points from safety with four games to play.
"When Steve was here we had a completely different budget - five times what we've got now," said Gordon.
Burr had four successful years as Kidderminster manager, leading them to the National League play-offs in 2013, but was sacked in January 2014.
Within 11 days he had taken over at Chester, where he spent more than two seasons operating on a strict budget at the reborn supporters-run club.
"It's easy to go back in time and remember when things were really sweet and smelling nicely," continued Gordon.
"I like Steve. He's a great guy. I love the fact that he wants to play open football. But we are past the time when we had the wage bill to attract top players who can affect results.
"The fact of the matter is that what we need now is a different type.
"We know where we want to go and how we want to take things forward. We're not going backwards. We know what we want to do and people have got to trust us."
Ex-footballer turned players' agent Gordon, who initially joined the Harriers board as football development director in April 2015, has run the first team at Aggborough for the majority of the season.
But, having invested his own money into the troubled club, he has stated that he does not want to carry on picking the team.
Kidderminster's two late goals to win 2-1 at Welling United ensured that they avoided being relegated on Saturday, although it looks like being only a temporary reprieve.
Colin Gordon was talking to BBC Hereford & Worcester's Steve Miller.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has served two consecutive terms and, under Argentina's constitution, cannot run again.
Her hand-picked successor, left-winger Daniel Scioli, is leading polls.
But he is expected to face stiff competition from Mauricio Macri, the centre-right mayor of Buenos Aires.
Another candidate, Sergio Massa, a former Kirchner ally, is polling behind Mr Macri, while there are three other names on the ballot paper.
Argentina elections: All to play for
Sunday sees the first round of voting - if no candidate gets more than 45% of the vote, or gets a minimum of 40% as well as a 10-point lead, there will be a run-off on 22 November.
Whoever wins the presidency faces significant economic challenges.
While the country gained strength after a financial crisis in 2002, its economy, the third largest in Latin America, has slowed down in recent years, with GDP growing by only 0.5% last year.
The government is also locked in a battle against American hedge funds who disagree with how is wants to restructure $100bn (£65bn) of debt on which it defaulted in 2001.
While the firms successfully sued Argentina for repayment, Mrs Kirchner refused to pay.
Mrs Kirchner succeeded her husband Nestor as president. He died in 2010, three years after handing over the presidency to his wife.
Mr Scioli, the governor of Buenos Aires province, is a former world powerboating champion who lost his right arm in a boat race in 1989.
Last week, he pledged tax cuts for middle-class workers earning under a certain income, a move expected to affect half a million people.
He has also vowed to bring down Argentina's inflation to single digits in less than four years and promises to introduce policy changes to invigorate the economy.
Like Mr Scioli, Mr Macri is married to a former model. He is a former president of Boca Juniors, Argentina's most successful football club.
The BBC's Wyre Davies, in Buenos Aires, says Mr Macri's centre right coalition Cambiemos - We Can Change - is seen as more market-friendly than Mr Scioli.
While Mrs Kirchner has sought to press Argentina's claims for the disputed UK territory of the Falkland Islands, Mr Scioli says he would not appoint a Falklands minister, and would seek closer ties with London.
"The world is going to watch the new president's first 24 hours very carefully," political analyst Pablo Knopoff told Agence France Presse.
"He'll have to deliver a message to convince people that Argentina is a country where they can invest, with clear rules."
His massive portraits adorn the backs of lorries, posters depict him as saviour of the nation and he continues to inspire devotional social media hashtags.
Indeed when it was announced on Monday that the general was kicking off "farewell visits", many media reports hailed him as "Pakistan's beloved army chief", while the reaction on Twitter was similarly effusive.
The announcement apparently put an end to fears of an 11th hour surprise, and many people praised the fact that he was sticking to the retirement plan, instead of finding a way to stay in power.
Why is Pakistan's army chief all over social media?
Viewpoint: How Peshawar massacre changed Pakistan
Pakistan's military has long played a prominent role in the country's politics, having staged three coups since independence in 1947. The army chief is widely seen as the most powerful person in the country - above the prime minister.
Gen Sharif stepped into the top job in the winter of 2013, just after a historic transfer of power between two civilian administrations. But the military has done anything but cede power and influence to the government during his reign. Instead, it has grown even more powerful.
Gen Sharif has a distinguished pedigree. His father was an army major, and his late brother, Major Shabbir Sharif, was awarded Pakistan's highest gallantry award.
Months after taking charge, the general took the bold step of launching a ground offensive to clear the Waziristan region of militant sanctuaries - a move Pakistan had been dragging its feet on despite repeated demands from its Western allies.
It led to a dramatic decline in militant attacks in northern Pakistan, instantly boosting his popularity ratings.
In the south, the paramilitary Sindh Rangers under his watch took on the task of clearing Karachi, Pakistan's largest city, of a confusing array of armed militants, organised criminal groups and festering political corruption.
The results were equally impressive. The extortion rackets, targeted killings and kidnappings for ransom that had become a permanent feature of life in Karachi diminished visibly.
Moreover, Gen Sharif has been determined to make operational a $46bn Chinese funded economic corridor that links up the southern port of Gwadar to China's western Xinjiang province - a key part of China's bid to shore up its influence and strategic links in the region.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif (no relation) won a landslide victory in 2013 and embarked on projects considered the exclusive domain of the military.
He instituted peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban, opened dialogue with separatists in Balochistan and made peace overtures to India.
He even tried to set a precedent by arraigning former army coup leader and later president, Pervez Musharraf, on charges of treason.
It was amid this civilian resurgence that he chose Gen Sharif as army chief, elevating him over two more senior officers.
But if he made the choice thinking Gen Sharif would behave like a professional soldier and accept civilian supremacy, it was not to be.
Room for criticism of the military has worsened since Gen Sharif took charge, says Ayesha Siddiqa, an analyst and expert on the Pakistani army.
The country's once vibrant electronic media has stopped reporting on "sensitive" and longstanding issues such as the military's alleged patronage of selected extremist groups and their political wings.
And it has desisted from asking questions about the links between these groups and those who continue to hit targets in Pakistan. Instead, it happily buys the military's line that these attacks are planned by Indian and Afghan intelligence services to harm the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
The media fell in line following a gun attack on a famous TV journalist, Hamid Mir, in March 2014. His family blamed the attack on the military intelligence service, the ISI. They said he was targeted for challenging the military's narrative about Baloch separatists.
The ISI denied the charge, but Geo TV, for which Mr Mir worked, remained off air for several weeks without any direct order from the government.
The army's huge financial clout means that it "is not answerable to anyone", Ms Siddiqa says. In 2007, the military's private economy was estimated at roughly $20bn, handled mostly through its welfare wings that run vast industrial, services, real estate and retail empires.
In addition, its position as a political force means it accrues the lion's share of foreign assistance that Pakistan receives. While the US post-9/11 aid pipelines are now drying up, China is providing tens of billions of dollars of assistance.
Over decades, Pakistan's civilian institutions have crumbled - arguably due to corruption and mismanagement - while those of the military have prospered.
This trajectory hasn't changed during Gen Sharif's reign.
"Under him, the military has operated outside the institutional plane, and as a result militarism in our policy has increased," Ms Siddiqa says.
It is believed that the general decided to launch the military operation in Waziristan in June 2014 without a nod from political leaders in Islamabad.
The December 2014 militant attack on an army school in Peshawar further helped the military consolidate its hold on political decision making. The government formalised the military's role in law enforcement at the provincial level by giving it representation in "apex committees" created under a national action plan.
A constitutional amendment was then passed by parliament allowing terror suspects to be tried in military courts.
At the same time, the military's media wing, the ISPR, launched an aggressive campaign to build up Gen Sharif's political image, charting each and every move he made and making sure that he received prime coverage on TV channels.
The ISPR has since invested in producing songs, anthems and films to promote the military's image.
There are several four-star generals who could be chosen as chief of army staff, but only a handful of them have headed corps and are therefore seen as qualified for the job. All come from infantry.
In making his choice, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will be guided by personal and political considerations.
But regardless of who takes charge, the military is seen as wanting to control the political narrative going forward in order to protect and expand its financial empire. The narrative it prefers tends to be pro-religion, anti-India and at times anti-US.
So civilians in Pakistan are likely to continue for the foreseeable future to battle to regain their lost space as the military continues to find more subtle ways of controlling democracy.
The question as to who succeeds General Raheel Sharif and what style that person may bring to the job, therefore, is of little consequence.
The 24-year-old flanker, who has won three England caps, has agreed a three-year deal at Sandy Park.
Former Worcester player Kvesic, whose contract ends this summer, has fallen out of favour at Kingsholm this season and has started just four league games for the Cherry and Whites.
He is the first new player that the Chiefs have signed this year.
"It's a great move for me," said Kvesic. "Over the last few years the Chiefs have shown they are one of the top teams in the country.
"I just felt it was the right time to have a new challenge in my career. Moving down to Exeter will maybe help re-ignite a few areas of my game."
After beginning his career at Worcester, Kvesic spent four years there before moving to Gloucester before the 2013-14 season.
Kvesic worked with Chiefs coach Rob Baxter in 2013 on England's tour of Argentina, where he won the first of his three caps.
He also worked with coach Ali Hepher in South Africa last summer and with Rob Hunter at Under-20s level, and has played with several of Exeter's England contingent, as part of both the Elite and Saxons squads.
"It's good that I know a number of people at the club already," he said. "Obviously I've talked to guys in the England set-up about the place and all of them have talked positively about the club.
"But I can't thank Gloucester enough for all that they have done for me. They're a great rugby club with fantastic supporters and I will always be grateful for the opportunities they've given me."
Fujimori, who is serving a 25-year sentence for human rights abuses, had requested a pardon on Friday.
Asked about the request on TV, Mr Humala said: "I want to be clear about this, I will not pardon him."
On Thursday, Mr Humala will hand over power to president-elect Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, who is also opposed to pardoning Fujimori.
Who is Pedro Pablo Kuczynski?
Under Peruvian law, it is the president's prerogative to pardon prisoners.
This is the second time Fujimori has requested a pardon.
Mr Humala rejected the previous request in 2013, saying that Fujimori's medical records showed he was not in a serious enough condition to warrant a pardon.
Fujimori led Peru for 10 years from 1990 and is still admired by some Peruvians for combating Peru's Maoist rebel group, The Shining Path, and for bringing about economic growth.
In 2007, he was sentenced to six years in jail for bribery and abuse of power.
In 2009, he was sentenced to another 25 years in prison for human rights abuses committed during his time in office, including authorising killings carried out by death squads.
Fujimori, who will turn 78 on Thursday, has been in and out of hospital for a variety of health problems.
Mr Kuczynski has said that he is considering allowing Fujimori to serve out the rest of his term under house arrest "as has been done with people of similar age and health problems.
Mr Kuczynski, from the centre-right party Peruvians for Change party, narrowly won the presidential elections on 5 June, beating Alberto Fujimori's daughter Keiko into second place.
The presidential campaign re-awakened divisions among those Peruvians who still admire Alberto Fujimori and those who loathe him.
Thousands of people took to the streets to express their opposition to Fujimorismo, the political movement created by him and followed by Keiko.
But there have also been rallies by people demanding the former president be released.
The collection comprises works by around 60 of the most prominent artists of the Pre-Raphaelite period, with many of the pictures portraying their wives and girlfriends.
Here we explore the story behind a selection of the pictures on show.
Paintings by Frederic George Stephens are rare as he was a practising artist for only a short time - before pursuing life as an art critic. Stephens also claimed to have destroyed nearly all his works.
This painting, however, remains and one can assume that is due to the sitter having some significance to the artist. It is believed that the portrait is of Stephens' wife Clare, who was apparently completely illiterate when Stephens met her. He taught her how to read and write and how to behave properly in society.
It was perhaps for this reason that the artist kept the early history of his relationship with his wife a closely guarded secret and only introduced Clare to his family and friends after their marriage in 1866.
Soon after Emma Hill began to model for the artist Madox Brown in 1848, the two became romantically involved and started having an affair. Their relationship progressed rapidly, and in September the couple spent a week together near Ramsgate, a trip later described by their grandson as their honeymoon.
This tender, delicately executed portrait was sketched on 5 April 1853, the day of Brown and Emma's wedding. They were married at St. Dunstanin-the-West, London, with Brown's good friends Thomas Seddon and Dante Gabriel Rossetti as the witnesses.
In Brown's depiction, he captures Emma's easy-going and gentle nature, which did much to balance his cantankerous disposition and moodiness. However, the path of love never did run smoothly for the couple. During the winter of 1851-52, Madox Brown was struck with severe depression, possibly even a nervous breakdown - as a result of overwhelming financial issues. But the two were able to overcome this together and remained happily married until Emma died in October 1890, Madox dying three years later in Primrose Hill.
At the tender age of 16 the actress Ellen Terry wed the artist George Frederic Watts, a man thirty-years her senior. Watts felt the stage was no place for a young woman and by marrying Ellen, he could lead her away from the theatre, giving her an education and social acceptance.
Only a year into their marriage the couple separated - leading to a difficult divorce with many stipulations placed on Ellen; if she was to return to acting her allowance would be reduced dramatically. However, this did not hold the young actress back as she eventually became the leading English actress of her time.
This portrait of Ellen is extremely rare as Watts destroyed many of the portraits and studies he had produced of her after the breakdown of their marriage.
After only a two-month engagement, Holman Hunt and Fanny Waugh (left) married on 28 December 1865. The artist professed his excitement in a letter to his friend, the sculptor Thomas Woolner, writing, "my engagement to Fanny Waugh may be spoken of publicly. It makes me more truly happy than I have been for many years".
Fanny often joined Hunt on his travels, claiming she had no intention of staying in England while her husband went off without her. It was, however, during one of their many trips that tragedy struck. While in Florence, Fanny died during childbirth.
The heartbroken Hunt wrote to his friend, art critic Frederick George Stephens: "I am alone now - more tragically solitary than ever I knew a man in this world could be… It is my one comfort that she loved me beyond all measure, that she valued this affection for me so highly that I was her first thought in the hope that her life might be spared to her."
Following Fanny's death, Hunt sought companionship in those closest to her, leading to his relationship with her younger sister Edith (right). The couple married in 1875 in Switzerland - marriage to the sibling of a deceased spouse was unlawful under British law.
This caused outrage amongst Edith's family and a permanent rift with friends of the couple.
The portraits of the sisters highlight their distinct likeness, especially as the image of Edith, created some ten years later, was executed in the same chalk technique.
The lives of the Pre-Raphaelites were never without scandal, the story of the Ruskins and Millais being no exception. Ruskin met Millais after sending two letters to The Times in support of the Pre-Raphaelites. From then on Ruskin's wife, Effie, frequently modelled for Millais.
In 1853, the year in which the sketch was made, Millais accompanied the Ruskins on an extended holiday to the Trossachs in Scotland where Millais painted his famous portrait of Ruskin now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. Over the course of the trip Millais and Effie became infatuated by one another and fell in love.
Millais' feelings for Effie are evident from a letter he wrote to William Holman Hunt, naming her "the sweetest creature that ever lived," and "the most pleasant companion one could wish." In his letter of 3 July he called her "the most delightful unselfish kind hearted creature I ever knew," and on 29 August he declared, "It would be quite impossible to stay here if it were not for Mrs Ruskin who is more delightful every day".
Scandalously, Effie's marriage to Ruskin was subsequently annulled on the grounds of non-consummation - giving rise to endless speculation as to the reasons why. Two years later Millais and Effie returned to Scotland, the place they had fallen in love, to marry.
This sketch was made for one of Frederic Leighton's most famous pieces, Cymon and Iphigenia.
In the love story, written by Italian poet Giovanni Boccaccio, the mere sight of the radiant sleeping Iphigenia leads Cymon, a coarse Cypriot youth of noble birth, to fall madly in love, prompting his transformation from an ignorant brute into a devotee of grace, refinement and philosophy.
It is this idea of the powerful force of beauty that Frederic Leighton aimed to capture in his painting Cymon and Iphigenia, a work that his biographer Mrs Barrington felt expressed "most explicitly Leighton's creed of creeds - namely, the ennobling and elevating influence of beauty in the lives of men and women."
The sitter for Iphigenia was the actress Ada Alice Pullen, better known by her stage name Dorothy Dene, one of Leighton's favourite models. The luscious mood of the large canvas translates distinctly in this preparatory sheet, which is among Leighton's most remarkable works on paper.
In a famous passage in Virgil's Aeneid, Aeneas pledges his gratitude to the Carthaginian Queen Dido by invoking the powers of justice and of a mind conscious within itself of rectitude (mens sibi conscia recti).
A shorthand for this Latin phrase, Mens conscia recti, is inscribed, in the artist's hand, on a label affixed to the back of the present work's frame. In using this epithet as a title, Edward Clifford implies the virtue of the grave young woman whose profile he paints in this delicate but intense watercolour.
Crowned with a wreath of flowers - likely apple blossoms - her long, simply styled hair and resolute expression evoke righteousness. Clifford's sensitive landscapes and profoundly religious works attracted the patronage of the titled families of England, and the many watercolour portraits he made of his aristocratic friends are probably the works for which he is most remembered today.
Muse and model to the Pre-Raphaelites, Elizabeth Siddal, affectionately referred to by the Pre-Raphaelites as Lizzie, was the subject of some of their most famous works, including Millais' Ophelia in 1852, and was herself a talented artist.
It was two years prior to the completion of that notable work that Lizzie met Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The couple connected instantly and their relationship soon became romantic, leading to marriage.
Rossetti's infatuation with Siddal is evident from the amount of paintings he completed of her, thought to number in the hundreds, and from 1851 Rossetti solely painted her, preventing any other Pre-Raphaelite artist from using her as a model.
Only two years after they wed Lizzie died of a laudanum overdose, at the tender age of 32. Shortly before her death Rossetti accompanied Lizzie to Scalands in Sussex. The artist and his companions Smith and Howitt all drew Lizzie, her hair adorned with irises.
These intimate portraits provide a memento of a bright time, which Rossetti recorded with these words: "Everyone adores and reveres Lizzy. B.S., Miss Howitt, and I made sketches of her dear head with iris stuck in her dear hair the other day, and we all wrote up our monograms on the panel of the window, in memorial of the very pleasant day we had spent at the farm."
Not a great deal is known about Alfred Hassam, particularly his artistic training. Hassam was principally a watercolour painter but also worked in oils.
Shown at the Dudley Gallery in 1867, this watercolour is surprisingly progressive for the period, as avant-garde as anything produced at the time by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, James McNeill Whistler, Albert Moore and their circle.
However, perhaps due to his promising career being tragically cut short by his premature death on 2 June 1869 at the age of 27 from tuberculosis, Hassam is not mentioned in any of the published artists' reminiscences dealing with this period.
Pre-Raphaelites on Paper: Victorian Drawings from the Lanigan Collection is on show at the Leighton House Museum from 12 February - 29 May 2016.

The 24-year-old Lille academy product has five caps for Senegal and played at the Africa Cup of Nations last month.
Souare is manager Alan Pardew's third signing in a week after the arrivals of Jordon Mutch and Shola Amoebi.
Eagles chairman Steve Parish originally announced the deal on Friday.
He tweeted: "Delighted that Pape Souare has just this minute signed for Crystal Palace. A warm welcome from all of us."
Brit Idris Elba won best supporting actor for his role playing a warlord in Beasts of No Nation.
His young co-star Abraham Attah went on to win the best actor award for his first ever role.
Spotlight picked up the best film, director, screenplay and a special recognition for its ensemble cast.
The film is based on the Boston Globe newspapers investigation into child abuse by priests in the city, which became a scandal that was felt around the world.
After collecting the award for best film, director Tom McCarthy said the church still had a long way to go to address the fallout from the abuse for its survivors.
"We have yet to see action. There have been a lot of words but there needs to be action," he said at the award ceremony in Santa Monica.
Elba's role as a ruthless warlord in the Netflix drama Beasts of No Nation has been widely used as an example of the diversity problem for the Academy Awards and its voters after being overlooked in the nominations.
He did not address the controversy, but speaking after his Independent Spirit win, he said: "I am so more proud of being a producer on this film, it wasn't about my performance, it was about us as a team. We were very much a family."
The Independent Spirit Awards honour films with a budget of less than $5m.
The best actress prize went to Brie Larson for Room, the role for which she is widely tipped to win the Oscar.
She was full of praise for the author of Room, Irish-Canadian Emma Donoghue, who she called the film's "mom".
Donoghue, who won the best first screenplay award, said she was just planning on "enjoying the day" at Sunday's Oscars, believing she would not win the big prize.
The best supporting actress award went to Mya Taylor, the first trans woman to win at the awards, having starred in the iPhone-shot movie Tangerine.
Collecting the award, she said: "I have had a long journey through 2015 because I had come from almost nothing and then got this role and this movie, and my life just did a total 360."
Speaking to the assembled crowed of film-makers, she added: "There is transgender talent. There's very beautiful transgender talent. So, you better get it out there and put it in your next movie."
Child care worker Syaikhah Izzah Zahrah Al Ansari, 22, was held under the Internal Security Act (ISA), which allows for detention without trial.
She had been radicalised since 2013 "by online propaganda", a statement said.
She had a "wide network" of contacts, including IS militants, some who had been killed or arrested for terrorism.
"Izzah was intent on joining ISIS (IS) and was actively planning to make her way to Syria, with her young child, to do so," a statement from the Ministry of Home Affairs said.
"She supported ISIS's use of violence to establish and defend its self-declared 'caliphate', and aspired to live in it."
The young woman had been looking for an IS supporter to marry, the ministry said. "She said she would support her husband if he fought for ISIS in Syria as she believed she would reap 'heavenly rewards' if he died in battle."
She had been "actively" posting and sharing pro-IS material online, it said.
Her family, including her parents who were both teachers of the Koran, had been aware that she had become radicalised and planned to travel to Syria.
"They did not alert the authorities. They tried on their own to dissuade her but they were unsuccessful," the statement said.
The ministry said it was the first time a woman had been "detained in Singapore for radicalism". Under the controversial ISA, she can be held for up to two years without trial.
Singapore is increasingly concerned about the spread of Islamist militancy in neighbouring countries. Philippine troops are currently fighting militants occupying a city on the southern island of Mindanao who have pledged allegiance to IS.
In a report on 1 June, the ministry said two Singaporeans were believed to have gone to fight in Syria with their families.
Fourteen more radicalised people had been detained under the ISA since 2015. The ministry said this was a significant rise, compared to 11 cases between 2007-2014.
The majority of Singapore's population are ethnic Chinese but there are large ethnic Malay and Indian communities.
The city-state also has a large migrant worker community. In the same report, it said that 40 Bangladeshi migrant workers and eight Indonesians had also been assessed as radicalised since late 2015. All had been sent home except six who were serving sentences for terrorism financing offences.
In a statement, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore said it would "continue to work hard to inoculate the community against exclusivism and extremism".
It said the young woman's case showed that the "danger of self-radicalisation is very real", through falling "prey to false narratives and teachings on the internet and social media". | An iconic building shaped like a basket in Newark, Ohio, home to a basket-making company, is to be sold.

Story of the match:
The 36-year-old Lazio striker scored with his first touch after coming on as a second-half substitute as the Germans came from behind to snatch a draw.
The goal, scored from a yard out, means Klose is now level with former Brazil striker Ronaldo on 15 goals.
Germany were, however, fortunate to escape with a point.
The European side took a fortuitous lead through Mario Gotze's unorthodox header, but Ghana came roaring back to score twice in nine minutes through Andre Ayew and Asamoah Gyan, to the huge delight of the vast majority of the crowd.
Joachim Low, the Germany coach, turned to the experience of Klose and the veteran did not disappoint as he prodded in to keep his side top of Group G.

The result means Germany, who move on to four points, have still only won their second game of a World Cup once since 1994. At Euro 2008, and at the 2010 World Cup, they followed up opening wins with defeats.
Ghana keep alive their chances of qualification for the last 16 but will have to beat Portugal in their final game to have a chance.
With temperatures in excess of 30C at the start, the tempo was understandably slow for much of the first half.
A series of pinball passing movements between Mesut Ozil, Thomas Muller and Mario Gotze threatened to create an opening for Germany.
But in the stifling heat of Fortaleza, Ghana restricted their most celebrated opponents to half chances and blocked shots in an underwhelming opening 45 minutes.
Ghana had won over the neutrals by the interval by creating arguably the best chances but, within six minutes of the re-start, Germany were in front.
Muller found a yard of space, looked up and picked out Gotze's run. The Bayern Munich forward did not make clean contact, heading the ball on to his knee, but the ball still deflected beyond Ghana goalkeeper Fatau Dauda.
Ghana rose to find hope and purpose. Three minutes later they levelled to send Estadio Castelao into raptures, Andre Ayew leaping to head home Harrison Afful's wonderful right-wing cross.
More drama was to come nine minutes later, as Ghana went ahead with a goal that stemmed from a rare mistake by Philipp Lahm.
Muntari pounced on the loose ball and slipped an inch-perfect ball through for Gyan, who fired firmly beyond goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
"I said I didn't know if Ghana would come back if Germany scored first, but I was proved wrong. But Jordan Ayew had the chance to put Ghana 3-1 up and he didn't pass to his team-mates who were better positioned. We said at the time that Ghana would pay for that - and they paid."
Germany turned to the experience of Klose and Bastian Schweinsteiger to stem the flow, with Ghana sensing an upset.
It was a move that paid off almost immediately as Klose scored with his first touch to equal the World Cup scoring record and bring Germany level.
Benedikt Howedes headed a corner towards the net and, just as it was about to cross the line, Klose prodded in to breathe life into Germany's hopes.
Ghana began to tire as Germany pushed on. Toni Kroos found Muller but a brave block by Ayew denied him. Jonathan Mensah threw his body on the line soon after as Germany poured forward but Ghana went close themselves through Christian Atsu and Gyan.

Local authorities in England could ban rooms smaller than 6.5 sq m from being let as bedrooms in licence applications for multiple occupancy houses.
The Department for Communities and Local Government is setting out the plans in a discussion paper.
Housing minister Brandon Lewis said some landlords provided "simply unacceptable" living accommodation.
The paper, announced by Mr Lewis, sets out plans to improve standards of shared homes by extending mandatory licensing to smaller and medium-sized properties.
Any landlord who fails to obtain a licence would be liable to pay a potentially unlimited fine.
Mr Lewis said: "It is simply unacceptable that people are living in cramped, unsafe accommodation provided by landlords who are more interested in a quick profit than the safety or welfare of their tenants.
"The actions of these rogue landlords are helping fuel illegal working, benefit fraud, and illegal immigration by creating a shadow housing market that carries dangers to people's health as well as communities."
Local authorities would be able to apply the rules to more shared homes than they can currently, including those that are one or two storeys high
The paper also aims to see the rules applied to poorly converted blocks of flats, located above and below shops, which are often exempt from existing rules. | A national minimum bedroom size could be introduced under plans to combat overcrowding and rogue landlords. | 34,756,249 | 264 | 25 | false |
"At no point did I intend to vote for Jeremy myself - nice as he is - nor advise anyone else to do it," she said.
"We were being urged as MPs to have a field of candidates," she told the BBC.
Ex-adviser to Tony Blair John McTernan had said MPs who "lent" their nominations to Mr Corbyn to "broaden the debate" were "morons".
He made his comment on the BBC's Newsnight on Tuesday.
During an interview with BBC Radio 4's World at One Mrs Beckett was asked if she was, as Mr McTernan put it, a moron for nominating Mr Corbyn. She replied: "I am one of them."
Mrs Beckett, who held a series of top positions in the party including being acting leader, is supporting Andy Burnham in the current Labour leadership contest.
There are four candidates for Labour leader - Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall are the other two. The result will be declared on 12 September.
Mrs Beckett said she had believed there should be a wider debate about austerity and the future direction of the party, but was beginning to regret her decision with Mr Corbyn topping a YouGov poll in The Times.
"To a certain extent to be honest, yes I do," she said. "We were being urged as MPs to ensure that the party had a field of candidates and that I thought was a perfectly legitimate point of view.
"If Jeremy had been a long way behind, I don't think the thought of nominating him would have crossed my mind. But then when it looked as if he might almost be able to stand but then not be able to, I was concerned that people would feel that they had been deprived of the opportunity for their point of view to be aired.
"But yes, I'm beginning to wish that I hadn't, to be quite honest about it."
Mr Corbyn secured 36 nominations, one more than was needed to qualify for the contest. As many as 12 of the MPs who nominated him actually support other candidates but lent him their support to get him on the ballot paper.
Richard Burgon, the MP for Leeds East who has supported Mr Corbyn throughout the contest, said he did not regret doing so and said to characterise some of Mr Corbyn's last-minute backers as morons was "unfortunate and unfair".
"I don't regret nominating Jeremy Corbyn and I certainly don't regret campaigning alongside him now and taking part in a campaign that's enthused tens of thousands of Labour party members and supporters across the country," he said.

The new inquests heard John Owen visited the parents of Henry Rogers, 17, at their home in Cheshire five days after the tragedy on 15 April 1989.
But Mr Owen now says he was mistaken and he had been with an unknown victim.
Henry Rogers was one of 96 football fans fatally injured in a terrace crush at the FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield.
The jury heard how Mr Owen and David Roland - who had also been at the match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest - tracked down Veronica and Stephen Rogers after they had seen Henry's picture in a newspaper.
He said he wanted to offer "comfort" to his parents.
Patrick Roche, representing Mr and Mrs Rogers, asked Mr Owen if he had made the visit "to tell them that Henry had not died alone".
Mr Owen agreed.
Mr Roche then asked: "Do you still think that what you told them was correct?"
He replied: "No."
He also said Mr Roland accompanied him for "support" because "it's something I didn't want to do alone".
Asked why he believed his original account was wrong he said: "The accounts I gave first were probably quite rushed and quite hazy. The only thing that I could remember with any great certainty is that I had seen Henry Rogers on that pitch on that day."
Mr Owen said he now believes he dealt with two casualties - one an unnamed young man who died in his arms, and the other was Henry, whom he helped carry across the pitch.
Part of a statement Mr Owen gave in 1989 was read to the court, in which he described coming across Henry on the pitch.
In the statement, he said: "I took his hand and asked him if he was all right. I lifted his head up.
"I think he was still alive then but he didn't say anything. I saw his eyes roll backwards and he died in my arms."
Mr Owen, who was 30 at the time, said that was "not his current recollection".
Mr Roland said he continued to believe both he and Mr Owen were with Henry when he died and he disputed he only went to see Mr and Mrs Rogers to "support" Mr Owen.
The court heard how Henry went to the match with his older brother, Adam, and two friends.
Adam also died six months after the disaster. His parents believe the trauma of the day and losing Henry contributed to his death.
None of the group of friends had tickets for the match and, in part of Adam's 1989 statement, he described how, as they tried to buy tickets from touts outside the ground, they were swept into the crowd at the turnstiles.
They went into the ground through an opened exit gate, down a tunnel into pen three, and within seconds were caught in a crowd surge that separated them.
Adam went on to describe how he escaped on to the pitch, searched for his brother at the stadium and then caught a train back home.
Karl Knights, who was a sergeant with South Yorkshire Police in 1989, said he climbed into the enclosure, gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Henry and then carried him on to the pitch.
The officer helped carry him into the gym where a doctor confirmed his death.
The inquests, sitting in Warrington, Cheshire, are due to resume on Tuesday.

James Holmes, 27, was found guilty on 24 counts of murder and multiple counts of attempted murder for the massacre at a Batman premiere in Aurora.
He had pleaded not guilty due to insanity - his defence said he was controlled by his schizophrenia.
Prosecutors have said they will now seek the death penalty.
The panel of nine women and three men rejected the claim that Holmes was legally insane.
Dressed in a blue shirt and cream-coloured trousers he showed no emotion as Judge Carlos Samour took an hour to read through each of the 164 charges for murder and attempted murder, plus one count of possession of explosives.
There were two murder counts for each of the 12 victims.
During the 49-day trial with more than 250 witnesses, the court heard Holmes entered the cinema in Aurora where The Dark Knight Rises was being screened, armed with an assault rifle, a shotgun and a pistol.
Profile of James Holmes
There were 400 people in the screening when Holmes, dressed head-to-toe in black body armour, entered through an emergency exit and appeared by the screen.
His victims included two servicemen, a man celebrating his 27th birthday and an aspiring broadcaster who had survived a mall shooting in Toronto. Several died shielding friends or loved ones.
The youngest killed was a six-year-old girl whose mother suffered a miscarriage and was paralysed in the attack.
On Tuesday, prosecutor George Brauchler ran through an account of the massacre.
Referring to the cinema-goers, he said: "They came in hoping to see a story of a hero dressed in black, someone who would fight insurmountable odds in the name of justice and trying to protect others.
"Instead a different figure appeared by the screen dressed all in black.
"And he came there with one thing in his heart and in his mind - and that was mass murder."
Holmes' defence lawyer Dan King said his client had "lost touch with reality" and said "mental illness caused this to happen".
He had been presented as a promising student studying for a PhD in neuroscience at the University of Colorado, having graduated from the University of California at Riverside.
He had no previous criminal record.
His defence called a pair of psychiatrists, including a nationally known schizophrenia expert, who concluded Holmes was psychotic and legally insane.
But two state-appointed doctors found otherwise. They testified that no matter what Holmes' mental state was that night, he knew what he was doing was wrong.
The prosecution argued that Holmes' detailed preparations, including the booby-trapping of his apartment with explosives before he left for the cinema, showed an awareness of what he was doing.
He was pictured at his first court appearance looking disorientated with dyed red hair in an apparent reference to Batman villain the Joker.
Deciding on Holmes' punishment could take the rest of the summer, Judge Samour has said.
Proceedings will continue on Wednesday.
Cobain was 27 when he took his own life on 5 April 1994 in the garage of his home in Seattle, Washington.
Despite the strong association of the grunge icon with Seattle, Cobain only lived in that city for 18 months.
The place where he spent most of his life is Aberdeen, a small logging town about 100 miles (160km) south-west of Seattle where he was born in 1967.
Although Cobain lived there for 20 years, locals in Aberdeen still feel conflicted about the legacy of their city's most famous son.
The town - which has never recovered from the decline of the timber industry and has an unemployment rate nearly twice as high as in other parts of Washington - is still ill at ease with Cobain's history of depression, drug abuse and suicide.
It doesn't help that in several instances Cobain described Aberdeen as a place "full of bigoted rednecks".
Cobain also often spoke about his unhappy upbringing there, particularly after his parents divorced when he was eight years old.
Despite his difficult relationship with his hometown, many of the songs that Cobain wrote were informed by the imagery of the city, where Nirvana's bassist Krist Novoselic also lived as a teenager and where the band's first rehearsals took place in the mid-1980s.
The first recognition for Cobain in Aberdeen came in 2005 when the Kurt Cobain Memorial Foundation erected a sign at the eastern entrance of town that still causes controversy. It reads: "Welcome to Aberdeen, Come As You Are," a reference to one of Nirvana's hit singles.
In 2011 a proposal to rename after the singer a bridge over the Wishkah River - famous for a mention in the song Something In The Way, and where Cobain reportedly slept on several occasions - was shelved.
Some city councillors argued that renaming the bridge would glorify Cobain's drug use and suicide.
The council did approve renaming a small strip of land near the path to the underside of the bridge as the Cobain Landing.
For years grunge pilgrims from all over the world have paid their respects to Cobain in that place, where an electric guitar statue and several memorial plaques stand.
Last February 20th, coinciding with what would have been Kurt Cobain's 47th birthday, Aberdeen Mayor Bill Simpson declared an official "Kurt Cobain Day".
The festivities included the unveiling in the town's museum of a less-than-flattering statue of a crying Cobain made by a local artist.
According to the local press, the event was received by Nirvana fans with a mixture of shock and confusion.
"This year's celebration happened so quickly. We didn't have much time to prepare it. Next year we are planning to have a bigger birthday party with a bunch of local bands playing," Mayor Simpson told the BBC.
Questioned about why it has been so difficult for the town to honour its most famous son, Mr Simpson pointed to the singer's history of drug use.
"The thing that stood out at the time when he died was that he was a druggie and he killed himself. That was what everybody in town said," Simpson said.
"Still today some people think that honouring him we are encouraging kids to use drugs," he added. "But I don't think it is true. We have to look at his music."
Among those who think that Aberdeen could be doing a better job at honouring Cobain's legacy is his biographer Charles Cross.
"The main problem is that Kurt said negative things about Aberdeen," says Cross, who has just published Here We Are Now, a book in which he analyses the lasting impact of Cobain.
"They should be doing far more. First because it is the right thing to do and second because there is an economic reason," he said.
"If they did something around Kurt they would get a significant entry in tourist revenues," he added. "But as the cement statue recently unveiled shows, the city just doesn't know how to get it right."
The day I visited the Cobain Landing in Aberdeen there was a middle-aged couple from Portland, Oregon, taking pictures.
"No matter what you think of his lifestyle, it doesn't make sense to deny that he had a huge impact in music," they told me, pointing out that they had the opportunity of seeing Nirvana play in several occasions before the band became famous.
"I don't think Aberdeen is doing a good job honouring him," they said. "If you didn't know about Cobain's connection to the city you wouldn't know. The Come As You Are sign is nice and this park is beautiful, but I don't think [it] is enough."
In 1985, in one of the several occasions Cobain became homeless after arguing with his mother, he ended up moving for about a year into the house of LaMont and Barbara Shillinger, the parents of two of Cobain's school friends.
LaMont Shillinger believes the town is getting better at recognising Cobain's legacy. "Having a Kurt Cobain celebration is a good thing although it wasn't exactly a wonderful event," he said.
"A lot of those people that don't want to honour him have come to realise the talent he had.
"It is kind of contradictory that they say they don't agree with drug use because Aberdeen has one of the highest rates of alcoholism in the state. And I don't think heroin is any worse than alcohol."
A few years ago Cobain's mother Wendy O'Connor moved to California, although she kept the house where the family lived when Cobain was a child.
Despite being assessed at a value of about $65,000 (£40,000), a few months ago O'Connor listed the property with an asking price of $500,000.
Now, a young journalist from Portland is trying to raise $700,000 to buy the house and convert it into a Cobain museum.
To know what Cobain's family thinks about how Aberdeen is dealing with the singer's legacy, I travel to the Country Estates mobile home park, located a few miles east of Aberdeen.
Cobain lived there for a while with his grandfather Leland Cobain. Now the house is occupied by Gary Cobain, Leland's son and Kurt's uncle.
"I think in Aberdeen are doing a good job ignoring Kurt," he tells me.
"He had a drug problem and they don't like that, but if they did more to honour him it would bring money around here. The thing is that they have nothing to lose because the place is going downhill anyway", he says.
The 26-year-old former Birmingham City trainee has made 60 appearances for the Glovers since signing from Exeter City in June 2014.
"He's been superb between the sticks," said Yeovil manager Darren Way. "He's kept us in many games with his bravery.
"He is a quality goalkeeper and I see him playing a major role in us becoming a force in League Two next season."
Poland-born Krysiak had loans spells with then Scottish Premier side Gretna, York City, Swansea City, Motherwell and Burton Albion, before leaving St Andrew's for Exeter in 2010.
Along with Omar Sowunmi, Ben Tozer, Nathan Smith, Ryan Dickson and Francois Zoko, Krysiak was one of six players offered a new deal.
Yeovil let 10 players go, including fellow keeper Chris Weale, following their 19th-place finish in League Two, 14 points above the relegation zone.
The process is based on allegations Ms Rousseff broke the law in managing last year's budget, Eduardo Cunha said.
Despite re-election last year, her popularity has slumped amid a corruption scandal involving the state-owned oil giant, Petrobras.
"I was outraged by the decision," said Ms Rousseff in a televised speech.
"I haven't committed any wrongful act," she added.
Ms Rousseff, who earlier called an emergency cabinet meeting, said she was confident that the impeachment motion would be rejected.
Two-thirds of the lower house must approve the process for it to proceed.
The governing coalition has a majority in the lower house of Congress.
The defeated opposition candidate in last year's presidential election, Senator Aecio Neves, has tweeted that he supports the impeachment request.
"Everyone in the country must obey the law, especially the president," he wrote.
Mr Cunha is himself facing corruption allegations, which he denies.
He has been accused of lying about a secret bank account in Switzerland.
An ethics committee is voting on whether to authorise action to eject him from his post of speaker.
Mr Cunha had been threatening to open impeachment proceedings if the governing party did not offer him backing, says the BBC's Julia Carneiro in Rio de Janeiro.
His decision was "purely technical", he said.
"It was a difficult decision. I did not become speaker of the Chamber of Deputies aiming to approve impeachment proceedings against the president," said Mr Cunha.
The impeachment request had been filed by a distinguished jurist, Helio Bicudo, and some opposition members.
The document blames the government for the corruption scandal at Petrobras and says Ms Rousseff violated Brazil's fiscal responsibility laws.
In October an audit court ruled that Ms Rousseff had borrowed money illegally from state banks to make up for budget shortfalls.
On Tuesday, the economy minister announced that Brazil's economy shrank by 1.7% in the third quarter of the year compared with the second quarter, deepening the country's worst recession in 25 years.
Compared with a year ago, the economy is 4.5% smaller.
The corruption scandal at Petrobras was partly to blame for the downturn, said Economy Minister Joaquim Levy.
It led to drop in foreign investment over the past year, he said.
Kenneth Cardy, from Barrow, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for rape and perverting the course of justice by witness intimidation.
Preston Crown Court heard the 54-year-old from Low White Close assaulted a 22-year-old woman in early 2014.
Later that year he assaulted a 46-year-old man while holding a knife to his throat.
Two other men - Sean Mills, 40 , of Ramsey Park, Barrow and Alfred Howard, 83, of the same address - have been handed 12-month suspended sentences for perverting the course of justice through witness intimidation.
They were found guilty of intimidating Cardy's two victims in an attempt to make them retract their complaints of rape, having been persuaded by Cardy to do so.
Det Sgt Wayne Dixon said there were was "no excuse for the unthinkable actions of Cardy".
"The actions of Mills and Howard could have led to a rapist remaining on our streets.
"Attempting to pervert the course of justice is a very serious crime and only makes the ordeal even more traumatic for the victims."
Patrick Coppeard, 49, encouraged about 60 members of St John's Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, to give money to a fraudulent investment scheme.
Coppeard, from Church Langley, Harlow, admitted fraud by abuse of position at Chelmsford Crown Court.
Essex Police said he had "preyed on his closest friends and family for his own gain".
After the sentencing, Det Con John Vickers said Coppeard had "devastated the lives of a considerable number of people".
Coppeard, a former employee of Merrill Lynch investment bank, collected the money between 2008 and 2011.
He resigned from his position as a trustee of St John's in April 2013, a church spokesman said.
The firm forecast revenue of $435m (£302m) in the fourth quarter, well below market expectations of $512m.
It also said a 7% cut to its workforce of 1,500 employees would cost up to $10m in restructuring costs.
Disappointing sales of its action cameras over the holiday season were a major factor behind the lower forecast.
The Silicon Valley-based company said its sales were also hit by a decision to cut the price of its Hero4 Session camera.
"Fourth-quarter revenue includes a $21m reduction for price protection related charges resulting from the Hero4 Session repricing in December," the firm said in a statement on Wednesday.
In October, GoPro had said there was weaker-than-expected demand for the device because of its initial high price.
The company has also been facing stiff competition from cheaper devices from Chinese rivals such as Xiaomi.
Its current revenue forecast is more than 30% lower than that in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Its New York-listed shares fell to $10.50 in extended trading, which is less than half its initial public offering (IPO) price of $24 in 2014.
Mueller was one of the chief architects of the programme to exterminate Jews in Europe.
The Bild newspaper says it has seen documents confirming his death.
The president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Dieter Graumann, said he was shocked by the revelation.
"That such a brutal Nazi sadist is buried in a Jewish cemetery of all places is a tasteless monstrosity. The memory of victims is being heavily trampled on," he told Bild.
It quotes Prof Johannes Tuchel, an historian, who says he has discovered archive evidence showing that Mueller died at the end of the war.
"Mueller never survived the war. His body was buried in 1945 in a mass grave in the Jewish cemetery," he said.
Correspondents say any efforts to find the body of Heinrich Mueller would be very difficult since the exact location of the grave is unknown.
There has always been an air of mystery surrounding the fate of Heinrich Mueller, a participant at the Wannsee Conference in January 1942 where the elimination of Jews - the "final solution" - was determined.
He was recorded as being present in Hitler's bunker on the day he committed suicide. But thereafter his whereabouts remained unknown.
In 1949 Germany's intelligence agency (BND) reported seeing Mueller in Czechoslovakia. But there seems to be no evidence that he was pursued.
Prof Tuchel, who is also the head of the German Resistance Memorial in Berlin, said that that sighting was incorrect. He said documents unearthed indicate that Mueller was first buried near an airport in Berlin in the last days of the war.
He said that "a body in a general's uniform with Mueller's identification documents" was then disinterred and reburied in one of three mass graves in the Jewish cemetery and certified by a local registrar of deaths in 1945.
Later theories suggested Mueller was buried in the Neukoelln district of Berlin. And in 1963 a gravedigger, Walter Lueders, told police that he had buried Mueller personally, according to the German online website, The Local.
The founder of the Drudge Report tweeted that the US hurricane centre had a monopoly on data and there was "no way of verifying claims".
Critics said his comments were not only wrong, but dangerous.
Experts warn the storm is deadly and those in its path should heed warnings.
The category three hurricane has sustained winds of 120mph (193km/h) and is bearing down on the US east coast.
President Barack Obama has declared a State of Emergency in Florida and thousands of people have been evacuated from the states of Georgia and the Carolinas.
The storm has already devastated parts of Haiti, leaving more than 300 people dead, and has battered Cuba and the Bahamas.
Nevertheless, Matt Drudge tweeted: "The deplorables are starting to wonder if govt has been lying to them about Hurricane Matthew intensity to make exaggerated point on climate."
"Deplorables" is believed to refer to supporters of US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has expressed scepticism about climate change, following comments from his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Matt Drudge also questioned data from the US National Hurricane Center, saying it did not match information coming from the Bahamas.
Journalist Libby Nelson, writing for news website Vox, said there was "no evidence" for Matt Drudge's claims and that such conspiracy-mongering was "a dangerous game".
"The implication of Drudge's tweet is that resisting evacuation isn't a bad, self-destructive move but a brave way for 'deplorables' to stand up for [sic] the government. That's not just stupid - it could very well be deadly," she said.
Hugh Cobb, chief of the hurricane centre's tropical analysis and forecast branch, told Popular Science magazine that he was aware of Matt Drudge's comments but would not comment on them himself.
He said all data was being collected straight from the storm using reconnaissance aircraft.
Earlier this week, conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh also speculated about whether hurricanes have been exaggerated.
"It's in the interest of the left to have destructive hurricanes because then they can blame it on climate change, which they can desperately continue trying to sell," he said on his namesake show.
But Limbaugh added that this was not the case with Matthew, which he called a "serious, bad storm".
Other respected meteorologists also took issue with Matt Drudge.
Sean Breslin, digital editor of the Weather Channel suggested the Drudge Report "stick to sports"
Greg Fishel, Chief Meteorologist for WRAL-TV in North Carolina, tweeted: "Whatever respect I had for Drudge, which was minimal to start with, was destroyed with this tweet."
The 27-year-old had been arrested on suspicion of assault following an incident involving two youths in Bolton on Friday.
The Olympic silver medallist was questioned over the complaint in Russell Street by police.
Khan's management said the matter would not be pursued further.
A spokesman said it was "a misunderstanding between Amir Khan and two other youths".
He added: "Amir was notified by the police that the allegations against him had been withdrawn and the matter would not be pursued any further."
Greater Manchester Police confirmed the matter would not be pursued, after the allegations were withdrawn earlier.
Jamie Barton beat four other finalists at St David's Hall in the city to win the crystal trophy, along with ??5,000.
Following her triumph on Friday evening, she said: "I'm so happy I cried on stage."
The final for the contest, which has launched the careers of many classical singers, will be held on Sunday.
The Song Prize is given to the best singer of art song, folk song or lieder, accompanied by piano.
Barton, who is from Georgia, competed against Hungarian soprano M??ria Celeng, Ukrainian soprano Olena Tokar, Belarusian tenor Yuri Gorodetski, and English tenor Ben Johnson.
After the competition's patron, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, presented her with her prize, Barton said she felt overwhelmed and "extremely happy".
She goes on to compete in Sunday's final, where five singers will perform their choice of repertoire and will be accompanied by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
She will be joined by Marko Mimica from Croatia, Olena Tokar from Ukraine, Daniela Mack from Argentina and Teresa Romano from Italy.
They will be judged by Dame Kiri, Dame Felicity Palmer, Neil Shicoff, Bernd Weikl, Maren Hofmeister, Per Boye Hansen and chairman, Nicholas Payne.
BBC Four's coverage of the final is presented from St David's Hall, Cardiff by Petroc Trelawny, with young soprano Danielle de Niese profiling the singers and talking to them as they come off stage, and Josie D'Arby gauging the opinions in the audience.
BBC Cardiff Singer of the World - now in its 30th year - is organised by BBC Cymru Wales in association with Welsh National Opera and supported by the Cardiff council.
The final can be followed on Sunday on BBC Radio 3 at 15:00 BST, on BBC Radio Cymru at 19:00, and on BBC Radio Wales and BBC Four at 19:30.
The Championship club agreed an initial fee of around £500,000 with the Dark Blues for Stewart, 26, only for him to turn down a move to the West Midlands.
Although Rowett now has other targets, he still has Stewart on his radar.
"We've been chasing him for a while but we haven't managed, as yet, to complete the deal with personal terms," he told BBC WM.
Despite the disappointment, Rowett says Stewart remains a player he likes.
"He's a player that's up and coming and has scored a lot of goals already this season, but all you can do is put a case forward and try to sign someone and the rest is up to them," Rowett said.
"We'll maintain the interest and it's not 100% dead, but because we haven't managed to get the deal over the line straight away, we've chosen to look at other options."
With three players already added to the Blues squad, Rowett says it is unlikely any more will follow in the immediate future.
But, with the transfer window closing on 31 August, Rowett knows he still has plenty of time to snap up further signings to add to striker Che Adams, defender Ryan Shotton and midfielder Robert Tesche.
"To get any more in now would probably not be the right timing," Rowett said.
"We'll take out time and there's still going to be some fantastic bargains to be had in the last few weeks of the transfer window and it's just going to be down to me to hold my nerve to nail a few good ones."
Birmingham opened their Championship season with a goalless draw against Cardiff and were beaten by Oxford United in the first round of the EFL Cup.
Spain's David Ferrer, who is the first alternate, will step in to play Japan's Kei Nishikori on Thursday afternoon.
The change means Britain's Andy Murray, who is also in Group B, will be eliminated if he loses to Roger Federer this evening.
"You, the fans deserve a great show and I wouldn't step out if I couldn't," tweeted Canadian Raonic.
"I am sorry for the fans. I will do everything to be here next year."
Raonic confirmed in a press conference that he had suffered the injury in the first set of his defeat to Murray on Wednesday evening.
He added: "If I was to step out on court, I'd be walking a tightrope where I can play obviously not at 100%, but with a significant risk of losing up to six to eight weeks if things go badly."
Raonic also lost his opening match in Group B against Roger Federer.
World number 10 Ferrer has appeared in the last four Tour Finals and only narrowly failed to qualify for this year's edition, suffering a decisive defeat to Nishikori in the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters.
Sir Oliver Letwin, former head of the government's Brexit preparations, and two former law officers said the case should not go to the Supreme Court.
Instead, they want ministers to bring a bill to Parliament to start the process of Brexit as soon as possible.
The government said it would robustly defend its position at the appeal.
The MPs voiced their concerns after the Supreme Court decided on Friday that the Scottish and Welsh governments should have a say at the appeal hearing in December.
Former minister Sir Oliver, who oversaw a "Brexit Unit" in the Cabinet Office after the referendum, told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme that the Supreme Court hearing could see ministers' powers outside Parliament curbed.
He added that one of the advantages of bringing a "fast and tightly timetabled and constrained bill" to Parliament, giving the government the ability to trigger Brexit without any constraints on its negotiating power, was that it avoided "any risk of the Supreme Court deciding to accord the devolved administrations some rights or even some veto powers" over triggering Article 50.
Former Solicitor General Sir Edward Garnier said Mrs May should drop the appeal to avoid expense and a row about judges' powers, while former Attorney General Dominic Grieve said he could not see the point of continuing with the case.
All three said ministers should bring a bill allowing the government to begin leaving the European Union - triggering Article 50 - as soon as possible.
Legal questions at the heart of the Article 50 ruling
All you need to know about the UK leaving the EU
Sir Edward said: "That way you avoid an unnecessary legal row, you avoid a lot of unnecessary expense, but you also avoid an opportunity for ill-motivated people to attack the judiciary, to misconstrue the motives of both parties to the lawsuit, and you provide certainty."
Mr Grieve said: "I can't see the point in the government continuing with the case and also agree that if they enact primary legislation, they will get it through Parliament.
"I think their chances of success in court are low."
The three MPs all backed the Remain campaign at the June referendum. They all now support triggering Article 50 before the end of March - the deadline set out by the prime minister.
Conservative MP Owen Paterson, who was a Leave campaigner, said he believed the government had a "very strong case" for its appeal.
"The problem with getting into any saga with courts is you can't predict the outcome," he said, adding that uncertainty over Brexit was damaging for the economy.
"My concern is that we deliver on what the people wanted.... There was this huge vote to leave, it has to be delivered. If it is not delivered there will be the most shattering damage to the integrity of the establishment."
A government spokesman said: "The country voted to leave the European Union in a referendum approved by an Act of Parliament and the government is determined to respect that result.
"We will robustly defend our position in the forthcoming appeal. As the prime minister made clear [on Friday], our work is on track and we remain committed to triggering Article 50 by the end of March next year."
The High Court ruled in early November that Parliament must vote on whether Article 50 could be invoked.
A final judgement from the Supreme Court is not expected until January.
Mike and Kate Brandon, from Bristol, said his consultant had advised them that "all NHS routes were exhausted".
"I left and thought you have to try or give up and I wasn't ready to give up," said 33-year-old Mrs Brandon.
A "revolutionary new cancer treatment" trial at the University of Pennsylvania starts on Tuesday.
"I know we need that £400,000 to go to Pennsylvania immediately," she added.
"I have no doubt in my mind that we will raise it. We have the love of the world behind us and I know we will make it."
It is the second time the Brandons have had to appeal to the public for help.
Two years ago a social media campaign found a donor for his acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Mr Brandon, 31, was diagnosed in January 2014. His then fiancee, Kate Robertson, launched a successful campaign to find him a matching donor after he had been told by doctors, in May 2014, he needed to find a donor within 60 days.
A match was found and Mr Brandon had the transplant on 30 June 2014 - his 30th birthday.
The couple married in June 2015, but in February Mrs Brandon said "Mike began to get sick again" and they were told by his consultant there was "little he could do" to save him.
She set up the #donate4Mike campaign last week to raise funds to cover medical care costs for a "revolutionary new cancer treatment being trialled in USA" - known as CAR T-cell therapy.
Mrs Brandon said watching the money mount up was "incredible", with funds currently standing at more than £264,000.
The treatment would be carried out at the University of Pennsylvania's Abramson Cancer Centre and she said he had to take part in a specific trial that starts on Tuesday.
Lifelong fan Nigel Daws said he created the figures, which include Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, to mark the club's 150th anniversary.
He said he has tried to make the players' facial expressions and hair look as realistic as possible.
Mr Daws said Peter Shilton's perm and Garry Birtles' quiff were among the most challenging parts of the project.
The designer, who is originally from Ilkeston but now lives in Manchester, said a friend had seen the England Lego team he had created for his son and asked if he could do one of the Reds.
Mr Daws said: "I tried to make the facial expressions as close to the real thing as I could - including Kenny Burns with his little snarl."
"Shilton was another interesting one to make - with his tight permed hair," he said.
"Lego don't do perms - so the only thing available was like an afro style - which I bought, but it looked ridiculous, so I had to find another one."
Mr Daws said Garry Birtles was also difficult to get right.
"There were a lot of mullets back then," he added.
Mr Daws has no plans to exhibit the 1.57in (4cm) figures, but added "it would be fantastic" if the club wanted to use them in some way to mark its anniversary.
A number of other tributes are also being paid to Nottingham Forest to mark the club's anniversary.
A documentary film - called I Believe in Miracles - tells the story of the club's rise under Brian Clough, from second division strugglers to European champions in 1979 and 1980, and is due to be premiered at the City Ground in October.
Nottingham Contemporary will also hold a short exhibition, alongside the release.
Ruth Elizabeth Cocker, from Birdwell, was taken to hospital where she later died.
The crash happened at 23:00 GMT on Wednesday on Sheffield Road at Hoyland Common.
Three other people in the car, an 82-year-old woman, a 77-year-old woman and a 67-year-old man, were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Police have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
The A563 Palmerston Way in West Knighton was flooded after a "trunk" pipe burst early on Friday.
Severn Trent Water apologised after more than 1,000 homes were affected but said water supplies were now back to normal in the city.
The road is closed between A6 Leicester Road and Welford Road and motorists have been told to expect delays.
Overdale Infant and Junior Schools in Eastcourt Road are also closed.
Sarah Jane O'Kane, from Severn Trent Water, said the burst pipe was classed as a "trunk pipe" which meant it held a large amount of water.
"We can only apologise for any traffic problems or any water supply problems that people are going to see."
The authority said it had delivered garden waste bins to some areas of the city to encourage people to recycle.
But protesters said the changes - which cost around £1.6m - had "ruined" the look of some areas and bins had been delivered to flats without gardens.
Around 30 residents returned their bins to City Hall on Thursday afternoon to protest against the change.
Cardiff council said 74.7% of people in a consultation wanted the new bins, although it would not confirm how many responses it had to the survey.
At a council meeting on Thursday night, members were also told 94,000 black refuse bins would be replaced with smaller ones at a cost of £1.4m, in a bid to encourage people to recycle more.
But fines for failing to meet recycling targets could cost the authority more, the meeting heard.
Councillors were told residents could return any unwanted bins to the council, but they would then be responsible for removing their own waste.
Matt Bartlett from Reading vets potential volunteers wanting to join Kurdish group Peshmerga via a Facebook group Foreign Fighters Against ISIS.
He has helped up to 20 volunteers head to the Iraqi region of Kurdistan to fight the Islamic State extremists.
He said: "I see ISIS as a major threat which is on our doorstep."
Mr Bartlett told the BBC's Newsnight programme on Thursday night that his group has direct links with the official operation of the Kurdish Peshmerga Foreigner Recruitment, Assessment, Management, & Extraction (FRAME) programme.
He said: "We have a very tight vetting framework in place, to be considered to be passed on to the next level.
"We want to have your army discharge number, we want to be able to vet you to a high level before we pass you across to the Peshmerga."
The Kurdish group showed their gratitude to Mr Bartlett by posting a photo with a thank you message.
Mr Bartlett said he had spent a lot of time considering going out there himself as a civilian volunteer and was in discussions with a number of people about doing so.
He works as a business development manager and has no military background, but said he had joined in with the anti-IS fight because "it's not a middle Eastern threat it's a global threat".
He said: "It's in our faces everyday and I don't think anyone really recognises what a threat it is."
Asked if he had been contacted by the authorities over his activities, Mr Bartlett said: "I had a little knock at the door at one point, a couple of guys in suits who refused to show ID. They said 'we know what your doing on Facebook' that was pretty much it.
"I think everyone who's been there, and I know several people who've been there and come back, they've all been stopped at customs on the way and had the chat from the anti-terrorism squad."
The World Bank recently announced that it would invest $4m (£2.8m) into Sierra Leone's fishing industry, a sector that provides employment for about 230,000 people.
Photographer Olivia Acland spent the day with Pepper, a fisherman who sets out from the port of Tombo.
Several high profile dissidents from both sides of the border were among about 150 people at its first ard fheis (conference) in Newry on Saturday.
Its chairman David Jordan was highly critical of Sinn Féin.
In a clear reference to the party, he referred to "false prophets... defeated and consumed by the very system they claim to oppose".
The party has the support of prisoners from the dissident group referred to as the New IRA in Maghaberry and Portlaoise prisons.
Its constitution says it may, at some point, contest elections.
But it says participation in elections to the assembly, Westminster or the Dáil (Irish parliament) would be on an abstentionist basis, meaning seats would not be taken if a candidate was elected.
There is no suggestion that the formation of the party is a signal that dissident republican organisations are considering an end to violence.
Mr Jordan made it clear in his speech that dissidents do not intend following Sinn Féin's journey into constitutional politics.
"Our history is littered with the failures of successive ventures into constitutional nationalism, as they were subsumed into the very systems they set out to overthrow," he said.
Aravindan Balakrishnan, 75, denies charges including rape, indecent assault, false imprisonment and child cruelty.
He told Southwark Crown Court "Jackie" was invisible, but had been built by the Communist Party of China.
He blamed the machine for prompting his daughter to run away in May 2005.
"May Day is Jackie's birthday," he said.
"He did something to her obviously. He put some idea in her head."
Giving evidence at his trial for the first time, Mr Balakrishnan told Southwark Crown Court Jackie was an acronym for Jehova, Allah, Christ, Krishna, Immortal, Easwaran.
"It can pull your head out from your body," he said.
Mr Balakrishnan denied ever beating his daughter. The prosecution alleges he kept her hidden for 30 years.
"Most of what she says is made up fantasy," he said. "For her to say these things is really very brave. Well, it's not brave. It's very stupid."
He told the court he did not initially tell his daughter who her parents were as he thought she would "understand better" at a later age.
Mr Balakrishnan earlier told the court he was the "focus of competition" between his female followers, saying a woman he is alleged to have sexually assaulted competed for his attention with the mother of his daughter.
He insisted that two women in the commune had "pushed" him to have sex, and strenuously objected to claims he had raped and beaten women living in his collective in Brixton.
He said they would compete for his attentions and that when one of the women performed oral sex on him "there was no force involved".
Mr Balakrishnan said he would occasionally "tap" her or shake her to keep her awake for political discussions, which would continue late into the night.
He said his views were grounded in the teachings of the Chinese revolutionary leader Chairman Mao which "meant almost everything to him".
Mr Balakrishnan, of Enfield, north London, denies seven counts of indecent assault and four counts of rape against two women during the 1970s and 1980s.
He also denies three counts of actual bodily harm, cruelty to a child under 16 and false imprisonment.
The trial continues.
Over 500 complaints have been made to the Environment Agency about the site in Cormongers Lane, Redhill, Surrey.
The agency said it would consider taking action against operator Biffa if it found it had breached its permit.
Biffa said it was working in accordance with its permit and claimed improvement work to tackle the smell had been hampered by the wet weather.
The managing director of Biffa's landfill division, Mick Davies, said: "We want to get ourselves so we're a good neighbour so we don't create a problem in the area and that's what our focus is.
"We're obviously aware of the odour complaints and we are apologetic to the public."
Residents have been complaining about the smell emanating from the site for several weeks.
Green Party councillor Sarah Finch said the stench seemed to be at its worst earlier in the month.
Environment Agency officers are sending data about gas emissions to Public Health England, which will rule on whether there is a health risk.
Biffa has said it does not believe the levels of hydrogen sulphide at the site pose a threat to human health.
As a temporary measure the company has installed a flare stack, a type of combustion device, to burn off the excess gas.
Malaysian Insider's editor Jahabar Sadiq said it would fold by the end of Monday, citing "commercial reasons".
The website, which has a staff of 59, was banned in Malaysia last month after publishing a controversial report on allegations of official corruption.
Mr Sadiq and others were also arrested last year on suspicion of sedition.
He was released without charge.
What is the 1MDB scandal?

Malaysia's sedition laws
In his editorial, Mr Sadiq said the site had "worked as impartial journalists to inform Malaysians and other readers so that they make informed decisions".
He insisted: "I won't shut up and I won't be blinkered or turn a deaf ear to what goes on in Malaysia and the world. And I urge all of you to do the same."
Malaysia has seen increasing curbs on the media amid a political scandal involving Prime Minister Najib Razak.
The ailing state fund 1MDB, founded by Mr Najib, is being investigated by Swiss prosecutors who allege billions of dollars were misappropriated.
Mr Najib has himself been accused of corruption. He has been officially cleared of wrongdoing, but Malaysia has seen mounting political opposition.
The Malaysian Insider was blocked by authorities in February shortly after it published a controversial article on the case.
Authorities did not give a specific reason for the ban, but when the US expressed concerns about it, the government said it had "a responsibility to maintain peace, stability and harmony in the country".
Mr Sadiq told the BBC on Monday that the site, which heavily depends on traffic from Malaysia, had been losing money since then, with advertisers holding off buying ads until the block was lifted.
"One way to snuff us out is to withdraw advertising," Mr Sadiq said, alleging "unwritten pressure" on companies not to run adverts on non-state media.
The site's owner, the Edge Media Group, had been searching for a buyer but had not found a suitable contender, he said.
The Malaysian Insider, which was started in 2008, is among a crop of alternative media sites which have gained a considerable following in Malaysia in recent years. It has been accused by the government of publishing untrue content.
The local mainstream press is known to be tightly controlled or owned by parties in the ruling coalition, Barisan Nasional.
Malaysia has also blocked the Sarawak Report, known for its reporting on the 1MDB scandal, as well as blogging platform Medium after it refused to take down an article posted by Sarawak Report.
It also blocked the website of activist movement Bersih last year ahead of street protests calling for Mr Najib's resignation.
Besides the blocks, dozens of dissidents, activists and lawyers have been arrested under the country's restrictive sedition laws - including Mr Sadiq and other Malaysian Insider colleagues, though their case was later dropped.
Michael Laverty was sixth in the first Superbike race of the day but failed to finish the second because of a blown engine, so drops to fifth spot overall.
Jordanstown rider Andy Reid was fourth in both Supersport events but heads the standings on 85 points.
Fermanagh's Josh Elliott was third in the Superstock 1000cc race while Carl Phillips won the Superstock 600cc race.
For Phillips, 22, from Derriaghy, it was his maiden triumph in the series, and he leads his championship by 13 points.
Keith Farmer, a winner at Oulton Parjk on May Day, failed to finish the Superstock 1000cc outing, while Andrew Irwin was fifth and eighth in the Supersports.
Record-breaking North West 200 hero Alastair Seeley was 14th and 17th in the Superbike class on his BMW, with Glenn Irwin 13th in race one, but retiring in race two with just a third of the race completed.
Laurence (Larry) and Martina Hayes from County Westmeath and Lorna Carty, from County Meath were among the 38 dead.
They were killed when a gunman opened fire at a beach resort in Sousse.
On Sunday, Ireland's Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan said he was not aware of concerns about any other Irish citizens.
It has emerged that Ms Carty, a mother-of-two, from Robinstown, worked at a medical centre in Navan.
Ms Carty, who was in her 50s, was on holiday with her husband, Declan.
Bishop of Meath Michael Smith acknowledged the widespread grief and sadness in the locality at what he called her "senseless killing".
He said she was "known to, and loved by, very many people".
"The brutal circumstances of Lorna's death are sadly becoming more frequent," he said.
"We extend our sympathy and our prayers to Lorna's husband Declan, to her children Simon and Hazel and extended family and friends."
It is believed Mr and Mrs Hayes were in their 50s and came from Athlone. They had one daughter.
Mr Hayes had worked for transport company, Bus Eireann, for the last 20 years.
A spokeswoman said Larry Hayes was "highly regarded on both a personal and professional level, by all his colleagues at Bus Eireann".
She added: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the couple's daughter at this difficult time, and all the extended family."
The attack started at about noon on Friday when the gunman began shooting on a beach close to two tourist hotels.
He was then shot dead by police. He was named later as Seifeddine Rezgui, a student from Tunisia who had links with Islamic State.
Nurse Liz O'Brien, from Dublin, was on the beach with her two sons when the attack happened.
She told Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster programme how she immediately recognised the sound of gunfire and tried to warn other holidaymakers as she ran for safety.
"I ran towards the sea and was shouting to the boys, 'there's shooting, there's shooting'.
"We ran up the beach and as I was running I was trying to let other holidaymakers know, but not many of them spoke English.
"I kept running towards our apartment as I realised that the only way we were going to be safe is if we locked ourselves in our room.
"But as a nurse, I kept thinking, 'Have I left all these people outside to die?'
At least 15 of those who died were Britons.
The British foreign minister, Tobias Ellwood, warned that the death toll of UK citizens was likely to rise because several people had been "seriously injured in this horrific attack".
The Irish government is warning people travelling to Tunisia to "exercise extreme caution".
The attacker rammed a car carrying explosives into General Mohamed Jimale Goobale's convoy near the defence ministry headquarters in Mogadishu, Somalia's capital.
Al-Shabab claimed the attack and accused the general of plotting against them.
He had survived several previous assassination attempts.
Who are Somalia's al-Shabab?
Somalia hopes for a better future
Witnesses in Mogadishu reported hearing a huge explosion.
"The suicide car bomb hit the car they were in. May God rest their souls," police colonel Abdikadir Farah told the Reuters news agency.
A radio station linked to al-Shabab reported a "martyr" had killed the general.
Voting for a new parliament begins on 25 September in Somalia. Lawmakers will then choose a president on 30 October.
Al-Shabab opposes the government of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who is backed by Western powers and seeking re-election.

Johnson-Thompson came into the final event, the 800m, needing a 17-second swing to finish with bronze but failed to achieve the improbable feat.
Belgium's Olympic champion Nafissatou Thiam won gold with 6,784 points.
Meanwhile, Briton Holly Bradshaw finished sixth in the pole vault after failing to clear 4.75m.
The 25-year-old, who set a new British record of 4.80m in May, cleared 4.65m on her third attempt.
Johnson-Thompson came into the second day of competition in fourth place after a mixed Saturday.
She produced only 1.86m in the high jump and was 13th in the field after a 12.47m shot-put. However, a superb 200m saw her move her up to fourth by the end of the first day.
The 24-year-old then improved a place with a leap of 6.56m in the long jump. However, both Dutch athlete Anouk Vetter (58.41) and Cuba's Yorgelis Rodriguez (47.41m) threw much further than Johnson-Thompson (41.72m) in the javelin to leapfrog the Briton going into the final event.

The 24-year-old said she would focus on the positives.
"I feel like one of these days it will happen for me," she tells BBC Sport.
"There is a lot to work on. It's been completely stripped down... my mental attitude, the way I approach training, the way I approach each competition.
"Everyone said it was going to take a couple of years but I wanted it to come together at London 2017. But I feel very positive for the future."
Germany's Carolin Schafer took silver with 6,696 points and Vetter of the Netherlands, who produced a championship best javelin throw of 58.41m, claimed bronze with 6,636.
Three-time world champion Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill suggested that Johnson-Thompson could seek advice from her former coach Toni Minichello.
"I would offer advice if she came to me and if she wanted to hear my experiences. But the mental side of things is quite a hard thing to master and that is part of our event, unfortunately," she said.
"Toni is a fantastic coach. He's been brilliant for me throughout my career and we've worked really well together.
"She could definitely take advice from him but it's her decision, it's her path that she wants to take and she's made a big decision to move to France already and I'm imagining she's going to want to see that through a bit longer and see where that takes her next year."

"It was really frustrating," Bradshaw told BBC Sport. "I'm not sure what happened because I am in great shape, but the conditions were difficult.
"I don't want to use that as an excuse but everything seemed to go against me, but fair play to the other women who performed out there.
"I am really heartbroken. I've worked so hard over the last few years to overcome injuries and I'm in the best shape of my life, but I am just really confused and disappointed.
"Just to be here is such a privilege and I'm trying not to lose sight of that. The crowd were amazing and I need to look to the future now and move on."
Greece's Katerina Stefanidi's took gold with 4.91m and American Sandi Morris (4.75m) claimed silver. Venezuela's Robeilys Peinado and Cuba's Yarisley Silva both took bronze with 4.65m after clearing the height by fewer attempts than Bradshaw.
UK Sport has set Great Britain a target of six to eight medals. Mo Farah's gold in the 10,000m on Friday is the only medal Britain has won so far. That total could improve on Monday as double European indoor champion Laura Muir goes in the 1500m final.
Kelly Sotherton, former British heptathlete, told BBC Radio 5 live: "We're supposed to have home advantage and the team will look at things they can do better, but it's a bit premature to judge the British performance this early. We should have this conversation next weekend.
"There are lots of great youngsters who could potentially use this home advantage and step up. We can't be too downbeat at the moment.
"We have put so much pressure on the team and that hasn't been dealt with very well. The success of the championships - are they viewed on how many medals the team win or how well we've hosted the championships?"
Its portrayal of female characters such as assassin Black Widow by Scarlett Johannsson had been called sexist.

Many called him sexist and misogynistic and said he had done a "hatchet job" on Black Widow, also known as Natasha Romanoff.
One asked why the words "strong female character" were not in his vocabulary.
But many of Whedon's fans have now turned on the critics, subjecting some to harassment and abuse.
Comedian and actor Patton Oswalt accused them of having "chased Joss Whedon off Twitter".
Whedon had been a high-profile user of Twitter, calling it "enormous work - very fun".
In early April, he issued an apology after tweeting a clip from the forthcoming Jurassic World film was "70s era sexist", saying his criticism of another person's work in this way had been "bad form".
In the past, Whedon has used his Twitter account to voice his support for activist Anita Sarkeesian, who has done work to highlight the misogyny and sexism in many video games.
Prior to directing the two Avengers films, Whedon was best known for writing and directing the Buffy: The Vampire Slayer TV series.
The 35-year-old had played less than an hour of rugby all season before coming back from a shoulder problem on Sunday.
"To be out that long I feel pretty guilty about it - I haven't done much for the club, so I felt I owed a big performance," he told BBC Bristol.
"The main thing I was thinking was 'just don't get injured.'"
Henson slotted a drop-goal and kicked three penalties as Bristol, bottom of the Premiership, beat Bath for the first time in 11 years to move to within two points of 11th-placed Worcester.
He lasted just 12 minutes on his previous injury comeback in November and has spent almost four months on the sidelines since.
"It's been tough being out for so long and I become a loner when I'm injured," he added.
"I was so tired. I was tired from the first minute and I was just thinking maybe the second wind will come in, and it didn't.
"I've got a lot of friends at Bath because I played there not so long ago so I was a little bit nervous. Obviously because I've been out for four months and the last thing I want to do is get injured again.
"I had a little bit of everything I think. I'm 35 and still making those breaks, it's pretty good, so hopefully I've got a few years left."
Vicki Kirby was forced to stand down as an election candidate after tweeting that Jews had "big noses" and suggesting Hitler was a "Zionist God".
Labour said her suspension had been lifted after she had been warned about her future conduct.
MPs took to social media to say they were "appalled and shocked" by the ruling and the statement it sent out.
It comes in the wake of the recent expulsion of a far-left activist, Gerry Downing, following criticism of his views about 9/11 and so-called Islamic State.
Ms Kirby was selected to represent Labour in the Surrey constituency of Woking at the last general election but was suspended for a series of comments she made on social media in August 2014.
In one of those, she tweeted: "Point about Jews is that they occupy Palestine. Used to live together, now slaughter the oppressed."
Ten days later, she wrote: "Apparently you can ask IS/ISIS/ISIL questions on ask.fm. Anyone thought of asking them why they are not attacking the real oppressors Israel."
It emerged on Monday that Ms Kirby - whose Twitter account has been protected - is now vice-chair of the Labour constituency party in Woking, a development first reported by the Guido Fawkes website. It prompted an angry response from a number of Labour MPs on Twitter.
Ian Austin said it was "completely unacceptable". He tweeted: "How was someone with these views allowed back in to the Labour Party? Would be shocking if she's not booted back out."
And Wes Streeting said he "despaired" at the decision. He tweeted: "This can't be right because Jeremy Corbyn has said there is "no place" for anti-Semitism in our society."
In response, a Labour spokesperson said: "Vicky Kirby was suspended from the Labour Party following comments on social media in 2014. Following her resignation as a parliamentary candidate she received a warning from the NEC on her future conduct and the suspension was then lifted.
"If new evidence comes to light, the Labour Party will review that evidence and make sure the rules of the Party are upheld."
Labour is currently carrying out an investigation into allegations of anti-Semitism in the Oxford University Labour Club and the BBC understands that the inquiry has been widened to consider a complaint at a second university.
A 37-year old man was assaulted at about 20:30 on Thursday in the Carrickknowe area in the city.
He was first involved in an altercation with two men before another three men got out of a parked car and joined in the attack.
Police are now appealing for witnesses to the incident, which took place on Featherhall Avenue.
The victim managed to run off and was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where he was treated for serious but non-life threatening injury.
The suspects are all described as white males in their 20s.
Det Insp John Kavanagh said: "This incident happened at a busy time of night and it's very possible someone would've seen this attack.
"The vehicle that the men got out of may have been a silver BMW, but anyone who has further information is urged to contact us."
Andrew McGowan, 35, of Cockburn Street, Dingle, pleaded guilty to the charge at Liverpool and Knowsley Magistrates' Court.
The toddler suffered serious head and body injuries in the "horrific attack" in a garden on Sunday.
McGowan was bailed until 6 June when he is due to be sentenced.
The injured child's father wept as he attended court.
The dogs also hurt a 57-year-old woman, who tried to rescue the girl in the garden on Cockburn Street.
The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was taken by air ambulance to Alder Hey Children's Hospital after the alarm was raised at about 15:40 BST.
Neighbours said they heard the girl screaming and shouts of: "The dog's got the baby! The dog's got the baby!"
One neighbour described the attack as "shocking", adding there had been previously "no problems at all with any of the dogs".
Five dogs and six puppies were seized after the attack, two of which were put down.
American bully dogs are not a banned breed, police said.

The guidelines, which come into force from July, reflect 2014 changes to the law that increased maximum sentences.
The Sentencing Council said sentences were "likely to be higher than in the past" but must be "proportionate".
A council member said some irresponsible owners' dogs "put people at risk of injury and... even death".
The 2014 changes raised the maximum jail sentence for a fatal dog attack from two years to 14.
The amendments to the Dangerous Dogs Act also extended the law to include attacks which happen on private property, and introduced a new offence of attacks on assistance dogs such as guide dogs.
The changes to the sentencing guidelines cover offences where a dog injures or kills a person, injures an assistance dog, or where someone possesses a banned breed.
The banned breeds are:
District Judge Richard Williams, a member of the Sentencing Council, said the guidelines "allow for a broad range of sentences to be given, depending on the seriousness of each offence".
He said: "We know that the majority of dog owners are responsible and ensure their pets do not put anyone in danger, but there are some irresponsible owners whose dogs do put people at risk of injury and in some cases even death."
Amanda Peynado, from Salisbury in Wiltshire, lost her left arm when she was attacked in 2007 by a Rottweiler that had been taken in by the kennel where she worked.
She told BBC Two's Victoria Derbyshire programme she had been exercising the dog, a stray, when "out of the blue, for no reason, he just attacked me".
She said the dog attacked her for an hour and a half during which it "kept coming back and taking chunks out of me".
"I lost my left arm, I nearly lost my right arm, he ripped a big hole in my back, he took muscle from my leg. Not a very nice experience in all," she said.
"I knew if he could have got my throat that would have been the end of me."
Speaking about changes to the sentencing guidelines, she said "99% of the time there's not a bad dog there's a bad owner".
She said it was important for irresponsible owners to be targeted before their animals attacked anyone.
Mr Williams said those in charge of a dangerous dog, where a victim died, would be deemed to have "high culpability", with sentences ranging from six to 14 years.
Other factors where an offender is deemed to have "high culpability" include the dog being used as a weapon, being trained to be aggressive or where someone has a banned breed.
Those who are already disqualified from owning a dog will also face the toughest penalties.
The same factors will also be used to assess blameworthiness in cases where a victim is injured.
The Dog's Trust, which "broadly welcomes" the new guidelines, said: "We hope that with the increased maximum sentences for dog attacks, dog owners will be encouraged to ensure they act responsibly and that ultimately there will be a reduction in the number of dangerous dog attacks, although it is more likely that prevention will come from education."
James White, of the charity Guide Dogs, welcomed the guidelines and said: "Sadly, every year we hear of more than 100 guide dogs being attacked by other dogs."
He said such attacks were "traumatic" and might stop dogs from working, meaning their owner "may find it impossible to leave home on their own".
The Kennel Club said owners needed to take responsibility for training their dogs.
It added that the breed of a dog "plays only a small part" in its temperament, with breeding socialisation and environment having a "far greater influence". | Pet owners convicted of dangerous dogs offences will face harsher punishments under new sentencing guidelines in England and Wales. | 35,827,353 | 824 | 27 | false |
The Mi Drone can stay airborne for nearly half an hour and will be sold with a choice of stabilised cameras.
The move gives Xiaomi the chance to target a fast-growing market, at a time when it has failed to meet its own sales targets.
One expert said the firm now had to win over potential buyers' trust.
"The feature set between the Mi Drone and DJI's Phantom 3 is almost identical - they can both be made to return home and circle around a point of interest - but Xiaomi's product is so competitively priced you have to wonder if it can make much profit," Engadget's Chinese editor-in-chief Richard Lai told the BBC.
"So, the new drone will probably appeal to beginners. But experienced fliers want reliability and a brand with experience, and DJI has spent years refining its technology.
"It will take Xiaomi some time to prove itself as we still don't know how reliable its drones are, the quality of its video footage or how well its software will work."
Xiaomi plans to sell the Mi Drone with a 1080p high-definition camera with a 1km (0.6 miles) range for 2,499 yuan (£260), and a version with a higher-resolution 4K camera and 2km range for 2,999 yuan (£310).
By contrast, DJI - another Chinese firm - sells the Phantom 3 4K with a range of 1.2km for 4,999 yuan (£520).
Xiaomi vice president Hugo Barra said that drones were "typically a product for rich people", but that his company wanted to sell them to a wider audience.
Xiaomi is pitching its four-propeller aircraft at consumers wanting to take aerial photos and videos.
Mr Barra said the built-in gimbal stabilised the Sony-made camera sensor at "up to 2,000 vibrations per second", which he said was enough to avoid blur.
He added that it could stay airborne for up to 27 minutes using a 5,100 mAh battery.
That represents an extra two minutes of flight versus the Phantom 3, although DJI's more expensive Phantom 4 can stay aloft for 28 minutes and go further.
Although the Mi Drone will be sold under Xiaomi's brand, it was actually designed by Guangzhou Feimi Electronic Technology - a start-up that Xiaomi helped fund in 2014.
The company said it would start testing the product via an "open beta programme" involving the public in July, but has not said when the final product will go on sale, or whether it will be offered outside of China.
Xiaomi originally gave itself a sales target of 100 million smartphones for 2015, but managed to sell 71 million.
Figures for the first three months of 2016 indicate that it has recently been overtaken by two other Chinese phone manufacturers, Oppo and Vivo.
"Xiaomi's core smartphone growth is slowing, so the company is expanding into new growth markets as diverse as fitness bands, rice cookers and now drones," commented Neil Mawston from the consultancy Strategy Analytics.
However, he added, the global market for consumer drones would probably be limited to seven million units in 2016, meaning it was unlikely to become a big business for the firm in the near-future.
"I think there's probably a limited use for most people having a drone in their daily life," said another analyst, Tom Morrod from IHS Technology.
"They certainly are never going to match the smartphone sector, but they do have the potential to scale to something like DSLR camera sales.
"There are a lot of potential commercial applications for drones once regulators approve them.
"So, maybe there's a longer-term play here. When Amazon, DHL and other package delivery firms start deploying drones they might come and buy them from Xiaomi."
For its part, DJI said it welcomed the challenge.
"More competition will spur every company in this industry to improve its technology, and DJI will continue to strive to be the market leader," said a spokeswoman.
The man, who served two sentences at Chelmsford Prison, said he saw inmates pouring boiling water on each other.
Last year, a report said "bullying, low-level violence, and disobedience by prisoners" had increased.
A spokesman for the prison service said there was a "zero tolerance approach to violence".
The former prisoner, who wished to remain anonymous, said during his first stay a few years ago, "there was a lot more order" and he felt "quite safe".
"Last time I was there I saw about three violent incidents. This time there was violence every day," he said. "The whole place was just a shambles."
The ex-convict described a prisoner-on-prisoner attack in which a young inmate had boiling water poured over him while he was asleep, before being beaten with a metal rod.
"I know people have committed crimes, and they deserve to do their time, but people's lives are at stake in there," he said.
"There needs to be more staff. On a typical day, you'd look around on the wing, and there'd be 30 men on the floor and one officer with you."
Last year's report, by Chelmsford Independent Monitoring Board, also raised concerns about the "loss of a large number of experienced supervising officers and wing officers" having a "significant negative impact on the care and safety of prisoners".
In response to the former prisoner's claim, a prison service spokesman said: "We have a zero tolerance approach to violence in prisons and it can lead to offenders having time added to their sentence.
"We keep staffing levels under review and responded to recent pressures by recruiting over 1,700 additional prison officers nationally."
The discussions are due to take place at Stormont on Monday.
DUP MP Jeffrey Donaldson has said his party leader Peter Robinson is expected to attend the talks despite being admitted to hospital on Saturday.
Ms Villiers said the talks were "crucial" for Northern Ireland.
"We must deal with continued activity by paramilitary organisations and bring about the full implementation of the Stormont House Agreement," she added.
"I recognise the scale of the task ahead. We are dealing with very difficult issues.
"But Northern Ireland's political leaders have achieved great things over the past 20 years working together. That same spirit needs to be brought into these talks.
"We must not let this opportunity to build a brighter, more secure future for Northern Ireland slip away."
On Friday, the government said it had commissioned an independent assessment of paramilitary organisations in Northern Ireland.
The assessment, to be published in mid-October, will be used to inform parties at Northern Ireland's political talks.
Ms Villiers said she would also establish a fund to tackle organised crime associated with paramilitary groups.
The two unionist parties said they would join cross-party talks on Monday.
Unionists had said the issue of continued paramilitary activity was crucial to their involvement.
Mr Robinson, 66, was admitted to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast on Saturday. A DUP spokesperson said it was as a result of a reaction to medication.
A spokesperson for Belfast Health Trust said he was admitted as a precaution and was "comfortable and doing well".
Mr Donaldson said he thought Mr Robinson would be released from hospital later on Sunday.
He told the BBC's Sunday Politics programme that he had spoken to him and he was in "good form".
Mr Donaldson said Mr Robinson intended to lead the DUP delegation at the round-table political talks at Stormont on Monday.

Mr Robinson stepped aside as first minister over a week ago amid a deepening crisis at Stormont.
It was sparked by the murder of ex-IRA man Kevin McGuigan Sr, last month.
The airworthy fighter, based at Imperial War Museum Duxford, is one of only two left in the world to have been restored to its original specification.
The aircraft was shot down over Calais in 1940 and discovered when its wreckage was exposed by the tide.
The money will go to the RAF Benevolent Fund and Oxford University's Wildlife Conservation Research Unit.
Spitfire P9374 was donated by the American philanthropist Thomas Kaplan and his wife.
He said they were "overwhelmed and thrilled" with the sale price at Christie's in London.
The Mk I Vickers Supermarine Spitfire was originally piloted by Old Etonian Flying Officer Peter Cazenove during the evacuation of Dunkirk.
Despite saying on the radio, "Tell mother I'll be home for tea," he was shot down on 24 May 1940, crashed on the Calais coast and was captured.
He ended up in the Stalag Luft III prisoner of war camp, where British airmen launched their famous Great Escape in 1944.
But despite failing to escape, he survived and returned to the UK after the war.
The plane remained hidden in the sandy beach of Calais until the 1980s.
However, it was not until the parts were bought by Mr Kaplan and shipped to the UK that the task of restoring it began at the former home of RAF Duxford, in Cambridgeshire.
The plane was sold on the same day that The Duke of Cambridge visited Duxford to see a second Spitfire, which was restored alongside the P9374.
Mr Kaplan said: "When we all embarked upon this project, it was to pay homage to those who Churchill called "the Few", the pilots who were all that stood between Hitler's darkness and what was left of civilization.
"Today's events are, more than anything else, concrete gestures of gratitude and remembrance for those who prevailed in one of the most pivotal battles in modern history. "
Christie's said the sale broke the world record price for a Spitfire sold at auction, which was £1.7m in 2009.
BBC iWonder: Why do we love the Spitfire?
The Italian was given the suspension in December for breaching the Football Association's agent rules over the sale of Ross McCormack to Fulham in 2014.
Cellino and the club were also both fined £250,000, and his ban had been scheduled to start on 1 February.
The club have also confirmed they are appealing against their fine.
"As stated in his message to supporters following the initial decision, Mr Cellino has lodged an appeal to overturn the guilty verdict and any sanctions imposed upon Mr Cellino by the FA will be held/suspended until the appeal has been heard and a verdict has been found," the club said in a statement.
"We are confident that the appeals will be successful.
The ban is the third imposed on the 60-year-old former Cagliari owner by the FA since taking over the Elland Road club in April 2014.
Earlier this month, he sold 50% of the club to fellow Italian businessman Andrea Radrizzani.
Leeds are currently third in the Championship, eight points behind second-placed Brighton.
In the intense summer, that can be a challenge for many - but it can be particularly difficult for top footballers trying to keep in peak physical condition.
Borussia Monchengladbach and Guinea winger Ibrahima Traore is one of those who has been trying to balance playing and training with fasting.
He told BBC World Service's World Football programme he has found it intensely difficult - so hard that on some days he has to break his fast.
"It's not easy - we are training so hard and it is so difficult," he said.
"But when a Muslim does a job that is really difficult, and he has to eat or to drink in order to do his job well, he is allowed not to do Ramadan.
"When we have two training sessions, I don't do it. But when we have one training session, or a free day, then I can do Ramadan.
"But with the weather and the training it is not easy at all."
Traore said that the importance of the month for Muslims makes it very difficult for him personally to not fully partake in Ramadan.
However he explained that there are other options for Muslims who are faced with this challenge, such as making a donation to the poor.
And he added that while Monchengladbach's coach Lucian Favre supports his right to choose how Traore observes his religion, he does have concerns.
"He says everybody has to decide for themselves - but as a coach he thinks of my health," Traore explained.
"It's not the fact that he minds that I do Ramadan but he would prefer me not to do it because he says it can be dangerous."
Traore also spoke about his personal view of his religion, and in particular his anger at the actions of Islamist militants.
"We hear a lot about Islamists, but those people are not Muslims - they are not what Islam is about," he said.
"Islam is about faith, and living together. It's a religion where we follow the rules. But I know that I'm a free-minded man, and I'm open.
"I do have fun with people from other religions - my best friend is Jewish. So that can say everything about me.
"It's my religion and I'm really proud of it, but I don't want people to confuse Islam with Islamist (militants)."
This is a big time for Traore and Monchengladbach - they are back in the Champions League group stages having finished third in the Bundesliga last term.
Traore explained that this was the reason he is continuing his break from international duties with the Guinea team.
"For the moment I have made the decision not to go, so that I can concentrate on my club," he said.
"It's a really big commitment. But most people don't know that - they think that it's easy.
"When I started the season with Monchengladbach I was starting every game. But then when I had to go to the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations, I came back too late to training or to the game, I started to play less and less. People don't understand that."
They are the first act to be announced with confirmation of others expected soon.
The festival in Ullapool will be marking its 13th year when it is held to a new format on 29 and 30 September.
For the first time it will be held on the town's pier after the organisers were unable to secure the continued use of the site's usual venue
Organisers said the new set up meant the event could no longer offer a campsite and tickets would be restricted.
Over the last 12 years, Loopallu's performers have included Paolo Nutini, Franz Ferdinand, Mumford and Sons and Jake Bugg.
Last year's festival's headliners included The Wonder Stuff and The Stranglers.
Under an agreement signed in September last year, Australia is paying Cambodia to take in refugees rejected from its detention centre on Nauru island.
But so far only four people in Nauru have volunteered to go.
Cambodian media quoted a government spokesperson on Sunday as saying it had no plans to bring in any more.
Australia has set aside about AU$55.5m ($40m; £25m) for the deal, including a $40m aid package, which means almost AU$14m per refugee so far, according to figures from the Australia Associated Press.
Interior Ministry spokesman Khieu Sopheak was quoted in the Cambodian Daily at the weekend as saying the four refugees were "enjoying their life" in Cambodia.
But he said: "We don't have any plans to import more refugees from Nauru to Cambodia. I think the less we receive the better."
But Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said the deal was still on track, and was an important agreement "which indicates Cambodia's readiness to be a good international citizen".
Earlier Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said the reports were "relying on an alleged statement of one official," adding she had recently had "productive" discussions on the issue with her Cambodian counterpart.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said Australia had "a level of confidence" in the agreement and "we hope a lot more will follow the four".
Australia expected the deal to be honoured, ABC quoted him as saying, "and we're working with Cambodians to that end".
But the opposition has seized on the reports, with Labor's shadow immigration spokesman Richard Marles calling the Cambodia deal an "expensive joke".
A "fact sheet" on life in Cambodia given out on Nauru serves to act as an inducement.
It paints an implausibly rosy picture of life, describing the country as "rapidly developing" with "all the freedoms of a democratic society", as well as "a high standard of health care with multiple hospitals", and no "violent crime or stray dogs".
What Australia tells its own citizens about Cambodia is rather different.
"Health and medical services in Cambodia are generally of a very poor quality and very limited in the services they can provide," Australia's foreign affairs department says on its website.
What Australia isn't telling refugees
Australia does not allow asylum seekers or refugees onto its shores, instead detaining them at facilities on the island nation of Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.
The four people - three Iranians and one Rohingya - were the only refugees in Nauru to volunteer for the controversial scheme.
The UN has spoken out against the resettlement agreement and Cambodia has, in previous years, been criticised for its own record on helping refugees.
Rights groups have accused Australia of shirking international responsibility by not taking in refugees.

That is because Friday is the day when she performs ultrasound scans of women who were infected with the Zika virus during their pregnancy.
An obstetrician who specialises in foetal medicine, Dr Melo was the first in Brazil to find a connection between the virus and microcephaly, a condition where babies are born with abnormally small heads.
The link between Zika and microcephaly has not yet been confirmed, but the World Health Organisation says it is "strongly suspected".
Dr Melo found the Zika virus in the amniotic fluid of two of her pregnant patients in the city of Campina Grande, in the north-eastern state of Paraiba.
Their babies had malformations unlike any she had ever seen in her 17 years of examining foetuses' brains.
Since then, she has had to tell more than 20 mothers that their baby has some kind of neurological malformation because of the virus.
"It's not easy. It's like I'm turning their world upside down," she says.
She says she always takes a short break to take a deep breath in the silence of the dark ultrasound room after the patients walk out.
The majority of the pregnant women who contracted Zika and which Dr Melo examines will go on to have healthy babies, but on any given Friday there will often be at least one case where she has to be the bearer of bad news.
Dr Melo says the babies rarely have microcephaly alone but a whole group of symptoms which tend to occur together.
That is why she has been advocating for the range of alterations seen in babies to be called "congenital Zika syndrome".
They include:
Dr Melo shows me the image of a brain scan of one of the most severe cases she has encountered.
The baby had hydranencephaly, a condition in which the cranial cavity is filled with fluid. She said that there was "virtually nothing" left of the baby's brain, just fluid.
The baby boy died shortly after he was born.
He is one of the 157 babies with microcephaly and/or other neurological problems to have died in Brazil since the investigations started in October, according to the latest figures by the Ministry of Health.
So far, 745 cases of microcephaly have been confirmed across Brazil and another 4,231 suspected cases are being investigated.
The majority of cases by far, 80% of them, have been recorded here in the northeast of the country.
In its latest reports, the Ministry of Health has broadened its list of cases to include not just babies with microcephaly but also those with "other alterations of the nervous system, suggestive of congenital infection".
The director of the Disease Surveillance Department at the Ministry of Health, Claudio Maierovitch, explains the move.
"I have no doubt that in the future we will be speaking of a congenital infection syndrome for Zika, in the same way we do with congenital measles syndrome," he says.
Currently, the circumference of a baby's head is measured to establish whether it may have microcephaly.
On Wednesday, the government announced new parameters to identify these cases: a head circumference measuring less than 31.9cm for boys and 31.5cm for girls.
So far all babies with heads measuring less than 32cm were considered at risk.
But Mr Maierovitch says the ministry is no longer taking the size of the baby's head as the only indicator for possible damage caused by Zika.
"Sometimes there are other indicators of brain atrophy, such as excessive fluid or calcifications," he says.
Dr Adriana Melo says the size of a baby's head alone is not enough to identify potential cases.
She says that excessive fluid in the brain can lead the cranium to expand, for instance, and just measuring the baby's head will not detect such cases.
She also says that setting the 32cm mark has caused "a certain panic" for some parents.
"Some babies have smaller heads and are fine," she explains. "The ideal thing is to always carry out ultrasound scans and look for neurological damage."
Dr Melo is trying to find funds for wider studies including women who had Zika but whose babies were born healthy.
"We still don't know if babies born without microcephaly might develop other sorts of problems, such as hearing loss, convulsions or visual impairment", she says.
"Getting funds for research has always been a challenge in Brazil, but in the north-east - one of Brazil's poorest regions - it is even worse," she says.
It is late on Friday night when Dr Melo finally finds the time to speak to us.
She has just finished her round of ultrasound scans.
Of the 17 pregnant women she has seen, one is carrying a baby which is showing signs of malformation.
For Dr Melo, that is one too many.
"Fridays are the worst days of my life. What motivates me is to stop giving mothers this kind of news."
Speaking in his Pennsylvania retreat, Mr Gulen, 74, said Turkey's ruling AK Party was trying to "make our movement appear bigger than it already is and to frighten people".
However, tensions with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a former ally, caused Mr Gulen to explode in anger publicly in a video sermon last month.
Mr Gulen's 50-year-old Hizmet ("Service") movement has witnessed four military coups and emerged stronger largely by staying out of party politics.
But now it has a greater role in Turkish politics than at any time in its history.
Thousands of alleged Hizmet sympathisers in the police and judiciary have been demoted and reassigned to other jobs, since a corruption investigation was launched into figures with links to the government.
Now, with hindsight, we can say that Mr Erdogan had been preparing for this battle at least since the beginning of 2012. That was when prosecutors allegedly close to Hizmet tried to investigate the chief of the National Intelligence Organisation, a close ally of Mr Erdogan, who was conducting secret talks with the armed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
Gulen: Powerful but reclusive
Profile: Hizmet movement
At the height of the Gezi Park protests in Istanbul last summer, Mr Erdogan sought to consolidate his support among conservative voters, rather than making concessions to the left-wing, liberal and secularist-nationalist opposition.
But his AK Party shares that conservative base with Hizmet - and that was where the political battle between the two had to be fought.
I asked Mr Gulen whether he regretted any of the moves that led to the current tensions.
"I do not regret. And I do not criticise destiny. But I am not suggesting that everything done by the participants of this movement was always correct," he said, in a tone suggesting that he is open to negotiations with the government.
Since its inception in Turkey as a congregation, his movement has grown into a national network connecting businesses, schools and media. It has become a global social movement in more than 150 countries.
Hizmet's expansion coincided with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Hizmet participants were already establishing themselves in Azerbaijan - culturally close to Turkey - before the collapse of USSR.
Hizmet does not fit into the usual categories for Islamic movements. Its focus is not on building a traditional Islamic state or reviving the Islamic "golden age".
Instead the movement looks to the future and strives to educate a "Golden Generation" of Muslims to change the world.
Mr Gulen's Pennsylvania retreat is in fact named after that central concept.
He and Mr Erdogan have different approaches to reforming Turkish society. While Mr Erdogan seeks a top-down Islamisation of society through control of the state, Mr Gulen's vision is to be more active at grassroots level right across society.
By Guney YildizBBC Turkish
This was Mr Gulen's first broadcast interview in 16 years.
His previous interviews were mostly via email.
The whole process of arranging it took at least a year.
In order to persuade him, I had to go through a series of meetings with panels of Hizmet participants - from Europe, Turkey and the US.
It was postponed a couple of times and wasn't confirmed until a day before, when I had a final meeting with Hizmet members in New York.
Younger participants, such as Kadir Uysaloglu, UK representative of Zaman newspaper, made an extraordinary effort to arrange the interview.
We were still not close to doing it even after arriving at the building where he was staying.
I have read reports about journalists getting within a few metres of him but having to go back to their offices without an interview.
I was told I could join him after his meal - he was one floor up, and messages still had to go through a couple of people.
The Hizmet participants are quite protective about him.
That approach has led to a generation of Gulen sympathisers occupying influential positions in the Turkish state, media and business community.
That influence from within has become increasingly challenging for Mr Erdogan, as he wants to govern Turkey with iron discipline, amid turbulent times both domestically and in the region.
He accuses Hizmet supporters within the state of plotting a "coup" against the government.
But the scale of the upheaval in the police, judiciary, Turkish state TV and other parts of the bureaucracy is already similar to what happens in a coup.
The current Erdogan-Gulen stand-off is reminiscent of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's hostile relations with Said-i Nursi, a politically active Kurdish preacher in the formative years of the Turkish Republic.
It is another struggle between a statesman and an Islamic scholar. But this time, the Islamic network is international, with many followers. It would not be easy for Mr Erdogan to uproot the movement in Turkey, let alone across the globe.
According to Mr Erdogan, a disagreement over how best to achieve peace with the PKK rebels was a key factor in the split between the AK Party and Hizmet.
It is widely believed in Turkey that the massive recent operations against Kurdish politicians throughout the country were spearheaded by prosecutors and police officers close to Hizmet.
But when I asked Mr Gulen if he was against negotiations with the jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, or with PKK commanders in Iraqi Kurdistan, I got a very clear response: "We were never against negotiations with [Ocalan] or the PKK people in the mountains. But for some reason, we are portrayed as against the peace process."
Turkey will enter an election cycle on 30 March with local elections, then presidential elections are expected later in the year, and general elections in 2015.
Mr Erdogan has a very difficult task to keep his electoral majority. He has to appear both conservative and nationalist, to limit the damage of the current stand-off with Hizmet, while continuing the Kurdish peace process that started over a year ago.
Mr Gulen said simply that his own supporters should vote for "whoever stands for the rule of law and rights, is upright and sound, whoever is respectful of democracy".
Anthony Duffy netted early for Armagh but an Aidan McLaughlin goal helped Derry to a two-point lead at half-time.
Emmet McGuckin and Enda Lynn goals put Derry in control but Armagh fought back and Ciaran McKeever netted late on.
Alan Davidson's penalty before the break proved decisive as Down defeated the students in Downpatrick.
Cathal Magee struck the opening point for the Mourne men and the hosts would stay in front until the final whistle.
Davidson's penalty was the last score in opening 35 minutes and it gave Down a 1-5 to 0-4 advantage at the interval.
Magee fired over three of four points without reply as Down made a blistering start to the second half.
The Queen's scorers included Marty Clarke, one of 10 Mourne County men in the QUB squad but he has opted out of Eamonn Burns' county panel.
Armagh held a 2-1 to 0-1 lead early in the Owenbeg game before Derry hit back with McLaughlin's goal ensuring they went in 1-5 to 1-3 ahead at half-time.
John McGill's point moved the Orchard side back in front but they were quickly behind courtesy of McGuckin's penalty.
Derry hit an unanswered 1-2, with Lynn netting, to open up a six-point gap.
Armagh rallied late in the game and McKeever struck a goal with the last kick of the game to leave just a point between the sides.

Two of his goals were long-range efforts and coach Dunga said Coutinho had seized his chance.
"He's been acquiring more trust and belief in himself and taking more risks. That's what we wanted," he said.
"We've been encouraging Coutinho during training to be the player he is in Liverpool and he did that for us."

The victory in Orlando moved Brazil level on four points with Peru, whom they play on Sunday.
Coutinho, 23, had previously only scored one goal for his country, in a friendly against Mexico last year.
"We have to keep our focus for the next game. We have to be dreaming about big things, but we also have to prepare well for the next game. Peru is a very strong team," said Coutinho.

Her comments contrasted sharply with her Republican counterparts, namely Donald Trump, who has suggested scaling back US commitments to Nato.
Mrs Clinton said the US should consult more deeply with Arab partners and stand with Europe in its time of need.
"Our European allies stood with us on 9/11. It's time to return the favour."
America should not turn its back on its allies, she said during remarks at Stanford University in California, and insulting them is not a good way to fight terrorism.
She addressed Mr Trump's calls to reinstate the use of torture and water boarding to glean information from those accused of terrorism.
"I am proud to have been part of an administration that outlawed torture," the former secretary of state said.
The deadly attacks in Brussels that killed more than 30 people are the "latest brutal reminder" that more must be one to defeat to so-called Islamic State (IS) militant group, she said.
The US and Europe should take a "harder look" at airport security protocols, and other "soft targets" that IS may attack.
Mrs Clinton also said proposal in Congress to make a national commission on encryption could help fight online radicalisation.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz has suggested in the wake of the attacks that police patrol Muslim neighbourhoods to fight terrorism, and has also suggested "carpet-bombing" IS in Syria.
Mrs Clinton called his suggestion "wrong, counterproductive and dangerous," and that it would be similar to "treating American Muslims like criminals".
Mr Trump has said it is acceptable to kill terrorists' families and that the US should not admit any Muslims into its borders.
"If Mr Trump gets his way, it will be like Christmas in the Kremlin," she said of Mr Trump's foreign policy views.
"Thank you!" said the 70-year-old, bowing his head as the board approved him for release in October.
Simpson is serving time for armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and 10 other charges over a 2007 confrontation at a Las Vegas hotel.
He was acquitted in 1995 of the murders a year earlier of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
The former Hall of Fame running back was found guilty in 2008 of the botched Las Vegas robbery - exactly 13 years to the day after he was sensationally cleared in the so-called trial of the century.
He and a group of five others stormed into a hotel room to confront two sports-memorabilia collectors and seize items that he claimed belonged to him from his career.
The hour-long hearing for Prisoner 1027820 took place at the Lovelock Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison in the Nevada desert.
Simpson told parole officials on Thursday the objects he took from the Las Vegas hotel room were later ruled by officials to legally belong to him.
"I've spent a conflict-free life," the prisoner said during the hour-long hearing.
However, in 1989 Simpson admitted spousal abuse after police responded to a domestic violence call at his home.
According to police records, his wife had run from the house screaming to officers: "He's going to kill me!"
More than two decades after the murders, the slow-speed car chase through the streets of Los Angeles and his sensational acquittal, OJ Simpson still commands an audience.
Television networks across the US interrupted their regular broadcasting to cut to the drab setting of the Lovelock Correctional Center in the high desert of Nevada.
And there he was, now 70 years old and dressed in simple blue prison garb but still instantly recognisable - the man who was a sensation from the moment he burst on to the American football field.
When he was asked by the parole board commissioners about how he would cope with media attention if he were to be released, the man they used to call The Juice laughed.
It must have felt like they were asking him how he would cope with breathing the air.
The families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman are not laughing - and there is evidence that OJ Simpson's supporters are a shrinking band.
The country was once divided, not least on racial lines, about the verdict in the "trial of the century" but a recent poll suggested that only 7% of Americans now believe the fallen star was not a killer.
On Thursday, Bruce Fromong, who was one of Simpson's victims in the robbery a decade ago, testified in favour of his release.
"I've known OJ for a long time," said Mr Fromong. "I don't feel that he's a threat to anyone.
"He's a good man. It's time to give him a second chance."
Simpson appeared to dab a tear.
The prisoner told the commissioners he had helped establish a Baptist prayer meeting in prison, adding: "I could have been a better Christian."
The prisoner also rejected suggestions he had an alcohol problem.
"I've done my time," he said. "I've done it as well and as respectfully as anybody can. I think if you talk to the wardens they'll tell you.
"I've not complained for nine years. All I've done is try to be helpful… and that's the life I've tried to live because I want to get back to my kids and family."
The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners said it had received hundreds of letters for and against Simpson's parole.
In 2013 the board granted him parole on some of his convictions, but not for the more violent charges.
His daughter, Arnelle Simpson, choked up as she told the parole board: "My experience with him is that he's like my best friend and my rock."
She added: "He is remorseful, he truly is remorseful."
But Simpson's legal problems are likely to continue after he is released.
An attorney for the family of Ron Goldman vowed to pursue him for due payment of damages.
Despite the 1995 not-guilty verdict, a civil court jury held Simpson liable for the deaths of his ex-wife and her friend, awarding $33.5m (£25.8m) to their families.
Two years ago a court enlarged that judgment to about $58m, but it remains largely unpaid.
Legal experts say the families could claim a portion of Simpson's future earnings, such as book deals or television appearances.
However, under federal law Simpson's estimated $20,000 monthly pension from the National Football League is out of reach to creditors.
Following his playing career, he appeared in television commercials before taking roles in movies like the comedy The Naked Gun.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has rated the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust as "good", after a report in 2015 which found it "required improvement".
The CQC highlighted chief executive Fiona Dalton's regular lunches with patients to gather feedback.
It said leadership and critical care at the trust were "outstanding".
CQC inspectors, who visited in January and February, said overseas recruitment had eased a previous "substantial" shortage of nurses.
The trust was running a £9.8m deficit, the report said. although improvement goals were "achievable financially".
Ms Dalton, who has been in post since November 2013, said the report was a tribute to "hard-working" staff.
Earlier defence minister Penny Mordaunt said the migrant crisis would hasten talks over Turkey's EU bid and the UK was powerless to stop it.
The EU referendum was the "only chance" for the UK to have its say, she said.
But the prime minister said this was "absolutely wrong" and raised questions about the Leave campaign's judgement.
It would be "literally decades" before Turkey was deemed ready to join, Mr Cameron said, pointing out that the UK and every other EU member must agree - as well as 28 national Parliaments - to this happening.
With just over four weeks to go to the 23 June referendum on UK membership, NHS boss Simon Stevens has said leaving the EU would be damaging for the health service, while the Remain campaign has said food prices would rise sharply in the event of a vote to leave.
Talks with Turkey, which first applied to join the then European Community in 1987, have stalled amid concerns about the pace of economic reform, its record on human rights and free speech as well as historical tensions between the country and Cyprus.
Turkey must get the approval of the 28 member states at the European Council and the European Parliament.
It would then need to be ratified by national Parliaments, giving the UK a second opportunity to potentially block a deal.
But Leave campaigners say an agreement earlier this year between the EU and Turkey on tackling the migrant flow across the Mediterranean, to which the UK signed up, had also injected new impetus into its membership bid.
Mr Cameron's insistence the UK could block Turkey from joining the EU followed junior Armed Forces Minister Ms Mordaunt telling the Andrew Marr programme that it was a question of when not if this happened.
She seemed to suggest the UK's existing power of veto over the accession of new EU member states would not be a barrier.
"It's very likely that they will join, in part because of the migrant crisis," she told Marr.
"Britain doesn't [have a veto]. I do not think that the EU is going to keep Turkey out. I think it is going to join."
Ms Mordaunt complained that it was dishonest "to have a policy of expansion and at same time deny member states what they need to mitigate the security risk that comes with it".
"If you are going to pursue an expansion policy, you have to allow us the tools to protect our own interests, to protect our national security. That we do not have," she said.
She added: "This referendum is going to be our last chance to have a say on that. We're not going to be consulted or asked to vote on whether we think those countries or others should join."
The Leave campaign has warned if Turkey and six other countries - Serbia, Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia - who are aspiring EU members - were allowed to join, free movement rules within the EU could see many of their citizens seek work in the UK and could lead to a five million increase in the UK's population by 2030.
A million Turks could potentially come to the UK within eight years of joining, they have claimed, a scale of migration that would run the risk of enabling murderers, terrorists and kidnappers to enter the country.
Successive British government have been, in principle, in support of Turkey joining the EU if it meets the criteria, a position endorsed by Mr Cameron several times since he became prime minister. But the mood music has changed in recent months.
This issue covers immigration and free movement within Europe.
Mr Cameron said that at the current rate of progress it would be the "year 3000" before Turkey joined. "It would be decades, literally decades, before this had a prospect of happening and even at that stage we'd still be able to say no," he told ITV's Peston on Sunday.
"This is a very misleading claim about Turkey. Britain and every other country in the EU has a veto on another country joining. That is a fact.
"And the fact that the Leave campaign are getting things as straightforward as this wrong, I think should call into question their whole judgement into making the bigger argument about leaving the EU.
"They're basically saying vote to get out of Europe because of this issue of Turkey that we can't stop joining the EU. That is not true."
Damian Chalmers, professor of EU law at the London School of Economics, said the UK effectively had a "double veto". He told the BBC "we are talking many many years" before Turkey would be let in.
But Leave campaigners argue the UK has shown itself unwilling to challenge the pace of EU enlargement in the past, such as when 12 new countries joined between 2004 and 2007, and would be unlikely to do so in the future.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said Mr Cameron had been a strong supporter of Turkish membership in the past, tweeting: "Veto? Mr Cameron has said he wants to pave the road from Ankara to Brussels."
A leading Turkish politician has urged the EU to clarify its intentions vis a vis Turkey. Binali Yildirim, who is set to be the country's next prime minister, said on Sunday "confusion over Turkey's full membership and the migrant issue has to be brought to an end".
"It is time for us to know what the EU thinks about Turkey," he said.

The county will have two aircraft from December that can fly after dark.
The charity is asking people and communities with potential sites to consider offering them.
Staff and pilots said approved sites would allow quicker pre-flight planning after a call-out and speed up response times.
There are currently about 40 designated community daytime landing places in Cornwall.
Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) restrictions affect where the aircraft can take off and land during the hours of darkness.
One place that has stepped forward to volunteer for night landings is Helston Cricket Club.
Bar manager Terry Rustell said: "It's open, there are no trees, no overhead cables, and there's easy access to the main road.
"In the summer, roads are so chocka, but the air ambulance can get through. It saves time, it saves lives."
Pilot David Burgess, from new aircraft operator Specialist Aviation Services, said: "Accidents and incidents are no respecter of daylight hours.
"We can find landing sites ad-hoc but we need a fair amount of pre-flight planning and map study.
"If we've got a number of sites available - we know the area, the obstacles - we can get to scenes much more expeditiously."
Charity chief executive Paula Martin said: "If we can shorten flight planning by having pre-prepared sites, then that can speed up the responses."
However, new air ambulances in Cornwall and Devon will not be able to make night-time landings at the counties' major trauma centre, Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, because its helipad does not meet air safety standards for landing at night.
Darcy, from Kellas near Dundee, sustained a shattered femur, fractures to her legs and pelvis and internal bleeding after falling at Glascarnoch Dam in July.
The two-year-old underwent four major operations and months of rehabilitation following the accident.
Her owner Gordon Lyon said he was "beyond delighted" with the award.
He said: "It's blown us away, the amount of goodwill messages that we've had from literally all over the world
"The universal attitude seems to be that she's been a deserving candidate and for whatever reason, her story seems to have caught the imagination.
"It's been a huge rollercoaster of emotions."
Mr Lyon and his wife Wendy were on the first day of their summer holiday and returning to their car at Glascarnoch Dam after walking their seven dogs.
He said: "We heard a squeal and to our horror she'd jumped what was a five foot wall and had fallen to the concrete base of the dam.
"We'll never know why she jumped.
"She was in a real mess. She was conscious and she was looking up at us.
"I could tell that she was really badly damaged because of the way she was looking.
"There was no danger we thought she was going to survive, we thought she was a goner."
Darcy had to be rescued by a fire crew from Ullapool, an hour's drive away.
Mr Lyon said: "She was still conscious, she was still moving a little bit.
"But the fear then was that the shock and cold and hypothermia potentially would do her in.
"Despite the pain she must have been in, which must have been terrible, she actually nuzzled into the neck of one of the firemen and started licking his face."
Vet Hal Drummond, who conducted Darcy's emergency surgery at Conanvet in Dingwall, was recently reunited with his patient when he moved to Dundee.
He said: "When we first saw Darcy after her accident I was uncertain she would survive, and even then it wasn't guaranteed that she would ever walk again.
"To see her running around now is nothing short of miraculous.
"She is an incredibly brave, sweet-natured dog, and everyone who has helped in Darcy's recovery is delighted that she's won PDSA Pet Survivor."
Darcy underwent months of rehabilitation in Dundee, including hydrotherapy and acupuncture.
She beat five English finalists in the competition, including Buddy, a Jack Russell who suffered extensive burns after pulling a boiling casserole onto himself.
Mr Lyon said: "She was up and walking two days after the first of the major operations on her leg, so in her head she is back to normal.
"She's fantastic, her mental strength and her ability to just get on and cope.
"There must have been three or four occasions where we thought, is this the right thing to do? But she's pulled though."
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.
An add-on power pack, fitted with AA batteries, will be needed to use it as a standalone product.
The BBC's director general Tony Hall said the device should help tackle the fact children were leaving school knowing how to use computers but not how to program them.
"We all know there's a critical and growing digital skills gap in this country and that's why it's so important that we come together and do something about it," he said at a launch event in London.
Children will be encouraged to write simple code for the Micro Bit via a new website, which will be accessible on both PCs and mobile devices.
They will be able to save and test their programs on the site before transferring them to the tiny computer via a USB cable or wireless Bluetooth connection.
The Micro Bit can then be made to interact with its built-in sensors and buttons to make its 25 LEDs flash in different patterns, letting it display - for example - letters and numbers.
In addition, it can be connected to other computing kit via its input-output rings - including the Raspberry Pi, Arduino and Galileo - to carry out more complex tasks.
It is suggested:
The BBC describes the 4cm by 5cm (1.6in by 2in) device and an associated Make It Digital campaign as its "most ambitious education initiative" since the release of the BBC Microcomputer System in the 1980s.
But while the earlier computer was sold for hundreds of pounds, the Micro Bit is being given away to every 11- and 12-year-old child in Year 7 or equivalent at school.
BBC Learning head Sinead Rocks said: "The BBC Micro Bit is all about young people learning to express themselves digitally.
"As the Micro Bit is able to connect to everything from mobile phones to plant pots and Raspberry Pis, this could be for the internet-of-things what the BBC Micro was to the British gaming industry."
When the device was announced, four months ago, the BBC promoted the fact it could be easily pinned to a child's clothing.
However, one of the revisions has involved replacing a watch-battery slot with a bulkier battery pack, which may make that less practical.
A spokesman said: "The initial prototype utilised a smaller battery, however in reviewing the design and examining the health and safety implications of using small batteries for a young audience, where siblings may be able to access the device, the partnership took the decision to re-engineer this element.
"Each BBC Micro Bit will now use a discrete battery pack, which can be removed from the device."
While the BBC instigated the project, other organisations - including the chip designer ARM, Barclays Bank, Samsung, Microsoft and Lancaster University - are also providing expertise and funds to bring the scheme to fruition.
In addition, the Wellcome Trust, ScienceScope and others will help prepare school teachers for the rollout, while volunteer-led groups, including Coderdojo and Code Club, have also promised support.
Although supplies will initially be limited to the schoolchildren qualifying for a free Micro Bit in late October, the BBC has confirmed that the computers will go on sale to others in the UK and overseas before the end of the year.
It also intends to make the machine's specifications open source.
Prof Mitchel Resnick, who leads the team developing Scratch, a popular programming tool already used to help children learn to code, at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said: "I see coding as a new type of literacy.
"When kids learn to code, they learn new ways of expressing themselves and organising their ideas.
"These skills are important for everyone, not just those who plan to pursue computing careers."
One advantage the BBC's original computer had over the new Micro Bit was the fact that you could write programs directly onto it without requiring a separate PC or mobile device.
But in many other ways the new device has its advantages, not least because you do not need to plug it into a TV to see what it is doing and it is many times cheaper to manufacture.
The broadcaster has highlighted three other advances:
The club has planning permission for a 22,000-seat stadium at Fossetts Farm.
If the scheme goes ahead, Sainsbury's plans to build a supermarket on the site of its current Roots Hall ground.
But in a letter to Southend Council the partners said that a £6m donation towards the town centre was no longer viable and have offered £3.5m instead.
The League Two club originally agreed to make the payment as part of planning conditions, but the sum has been at the centre of a dispute which has delayed work on the scheme.
The club attempted to scrap the payment, but later offered £2.25m.
Now the offer has been increased to £3.5m, with the club and supermarket warning that a greater amount would "fatally undermine" the scheme.
In a letter to Southend Council, club chairman Ron Martin and Sainsbury's development surveyor Robert Oxley said that both parties were still committed to the scheme.
But they added: "At present, the viability is on a knife edge. To be deliverable, the whole package must be financially viable.
"The scheme was conceived in an entirely different world when the offer of £6m was made in 2007 and we, along with many others, could not have foreseen the financial landscape of today."
The letter said the economic downturn had put the viability of the Fossetts Farm and Roots Hall schemes in jeopardy, adding: "Put simply, there is no longer £6m available to put towards the regeneration of the town centre."
The club and supermarket said they could make an initial payment of £500,000 when work begins on a planned retail park at Fossetts Farm.
The final instalment of £1m, bringing the total to £3.5m, would be paid when a hotel planned as part of the scheme opens.
Southend Council's development control committee is due to consider the offer at its meeting on 10 April.
McCullum, who will retire from all cricket after the Test series against the same opponents this month, scored 47 from 27 balls in his side's 246.
Australia regularly lost wickets and were bowled out for 191.
"I feel incredibly lucky to play for 14 years, meet some great blokes and make some great friends," said McCullum, 34.
"Not many people get that opportunity and I want to thank everyone for supporting me and supporting this team over a long period of time.

McCullum hit three sixes and six fours as he finished his ODI career with 6,083 runs, which included five centuries and a highest score of 166.
He played 228 innings in 260 ODI's, with an average of 30.41 and a strike rate of 96.37.
McCullum also led New Zealand to their first World Cup final in 2015, where the Kiwis lost to Australia.
His final match was not without its share of controversy.
Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh took 3-34 during New Zealand's innings and had reached 41 with the bat when he hit a delivery back to bowler Matt Henry.
The bowler's appeal for a caught and bowled was turned down but a replay was shown on the big screen, during which the crowd reacted noisily after the ball appeared to hit the batsman's boot before looping up to the bowler.
Umpires Ian Gould and Derek Walker then asked third umpire Sundaram Ravi to review the incident and Marsh was subsequently given out.
"A bit of controversy there, I don't think there was much of an appeal," said Australia skipper Steve Smith. "And they went upstairs after the replay, a bit disappointing.
"The right decision was made no doubt about that. I don't want to take anything away from the Black Caps, they deserved to win."
Friends and family of those who died will be at a service later.
It follows two years of research into the area's wartime past by conservation organisations in Surrey.
A memorial made of two wing tips, carved by sculptor Roger Day, has been placed at the site. It includes fuselage aluminium from the crash.
Mark Richards, from the National Trust, said archaeologists had carried out surveys of unidentified military structures and researchers had delved into the national archives to find out more about how the B17G aircraft crashed.
He said the memorial was one of the abiding legacies of the Front Line Surrey Hills project.
"Its beauty and poignancy [is] striking in what is now known as the memorial glade," he said.
Researchers discovered the crew from 384th Bomb Group were on their 13th mission together and their target for 19 March 1945 was to be the oil facilities at Bohlen, Germany.
During the mission, the crew bombed secondary targets because they were hampered by cloud.
On their return, cloud led to further visibility problems and the aircraft crashed into Reigate Hill in a huge explosion.
The clearing at the crash site was created by the force as the aircraft crashed into the beech trees.
The Front Line Surrey Hills project, which included the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the National Trust, Gatton Trust and Surrey County Council, received £54,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund for its programme of educational and research events.
Mark Munro, 31, and James Robertson, 27, deny killing Russell Robertson by pushing him over railings at Bainsford Bridge, Falkirk.
It is alleged that they repeatedly punched Mr Robertson on the hands and prised his fingers from the bridge railings in May last year.
Mr Munro told detectives that he "at no point" assaulted Mr Robertson.
A trial at the High Court in Glasgow was played a recording of the police interview in which a prepared statement from Mr Munro was read out by duty solicitor James McLean.
In the statement, Mr Munro said: "I tried to help him.
"The guy had his back to the bridge railings. At this point James Robertson grabbed the guy at his feet area and flipped him over.
"He went over the bridge. I tried to keep a hold of him, but could not, so he fell.
"I looked over and saw him on the grass below and did not hear a splash.
"I looked down and thought he looked all right."
In the statement, Mr Munro said that he ran after James Robertson.
It continued: "He said: 'What have I done? What have I done?'
"I said: 'We need to get back,' and he said: 'No, just keep running.'"
Mr Munro said he had tried to calm down Mr Robertson, whom he described as being "like an animal" but, "he wasn't listening to me".
When he was charged with murder, Mr Munro told police: "I'm innocent. I did not murder nobody. I tried to help him."
The trial before judge Lady Carmichael continues.
He suffered multiple fractures to his legs and pelvis and was taken by helicopter to hospital in Toulouse.
The accident happened at the Ax 3 Domaines resort on Saturday as his leg became trapped at the start of a six-person "bubble" lift, officials said.
The skier then fell into netting before sliding underneath and falling four metres (12ft), French media report.
Police in Savignac-les-Ormeaux are quoted as saying the accident was triggered as the skier tried to retrieve his gloves as the cabin pulled away.
His leg then became trapped in the lift cabin and he fell from it shortly afterwards.
Police have begun an investigation.
Coach Rob Howley has resisted calls to bring in fresh faces following defeats by Scotland and England.
Dan Biggar has held off Sam Davies' challenge at fly-half and George North remains on the wing with Ross Moriarty preferred at eight to Taulupe Faletau.
Ireland's starting XV also stays the same with Tommy Bowe replacing injured winger Andrew Trimble on the bench.
Howley said: "There is a lot of experience in our group. You don't become a bad team overnight.
"As coaches we discussed possibly giving the side a chance to redeem themselves for the second half performance [against Scotland].
"There were too many forced and unforced errors in that game, I thought we were dominant for the first half against Scotland and that was off the back of one of the best games in the Six Nations against England for 75 minutes.
"This is a good team and we've got the opportunity to go out in front of our home supporters and deliver a performance the players are proud of and it's equally important for the supporters to support that.
"It's going to be a huge game on Friday night."
In the build-up to the announcement, Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards said North had been warned about his form.
Open-side flanker Justin Tipuric will win his 50th Wales cap. He has also played once for the British and Irish Lions.
Howley had been expected to change his back row and second row, with Bath pair Faletau and Luke Charteris tipped to start.
Howley said the fact Faletau played for Bath against Wasps in the English Premiership was factor in the decision to retain the number eight on the bench while Charteris is named among the replacements despite the fact he is still undergoing return to play protocols after taking a blow to the head in that match.
"It would have been a six-day turnaround, they both played on Saturday and the pitch at Bath is pretty heavy," added Howley.
"Luke had concussion, he came off in that game. He's gone through the HIA (head injury assessment) process but wasn't able to train Saturday and Sunday.
"Luke passed the HIA on the day, he's done checks up until this point [Wednesday], he's just got his contact protocol to go through and he'll be fine."
Wales beat Italy in their opening game, but defeats by England and Scotland have meant a drop to seventh in the World Rugby global rankings.
A loss to Ireland and another against France on 18 March could mean Wales going into May's 2019 World Cup draw in ninth position and facing another "group of death" in Japan having endured similar circumstances in 2015.
On that occasion, Wales beat hosts England on their way to the quarter-finals, but lost to eventual finalists Australia in their pool game.

The Bordesley Centre in Camp Hill heard concerns about inspection reports linked to an anonymous letter alleging an Islamic takeover plot of schools.
A number of speakers told the crowd they believed the reports were biased.
Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw has previously agreed to meet parents and children from the affected schools.
The 25-year-old Croatia centre-back joins on a four-year contract and is the third Saints player to move to Anfield during this transfer window.
He had spoken publicly about his wish to make the switch and follows former team-mates Rickie Lambert, 32, and Adam Lallana, 25.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers said: "This is a very important signing for us."
Lovren will join up with the squad on their US tour.
He said: "After I played at Anfield last season, I said to myself: 'One day I hope I'll be able to play here for Liverpool'."
Rodgers told Liverpool's official website: "He is a commanding and powerful presence and clearly has leadership skills, which is important - he fits the profile of player we are looking for.
"He is still relatively young, so his peak years are ahead of him and I believe he will improve and progress even further with us."
Saints boss Ronald Koeman says the club are "close" to signing a replacement.
Liverpool have already bought striker Lambert and midfielder Lallana from Southampton this summer and Lovren's addition means they have paid the South Coast club £49m in transfer fees in the last three months.
However, Lallana will miss the start of the new Premier League season with a knee injury.
Lovren, who joined Southampton from Lyon for £8.5m last summer, leaves St Mary's 12 months into a four-year contract.
With Luke Shaw joining Manchester United for £27m and Calum Chambers set to sign for Arsenal in a deal in the region of £16m, Southampton will have sold five players for a total of approximately £92m.
Koeman has also confirmed the club are looking to offload £15m striker Dani Osvaldo, while Arsenal have enquired about midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, 24, and Tottenham are interested in striker Jay Rodriguez, also 24.
Oil was released into the water from the Clair platform on Sunday morning.
The size of the leak is unclear, and efforts are under way to ascertain whether it has caused damage to the environment.
BP said it was caused by a "technical issue" and an investigation into what happened was under way.
No-one was injured.
The UK Government's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has been informed and the industry funded organisation Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL) has also been notified.
It was not immediately clear how long the platform would remain shut down.
Lang Banks, director of environmental charity WWF Scotland, said the incident highlighted "the dangers posed on a daily basis" by oil and gas operations off the coast of Scotland.
He added: "In the interests of protecting the marine environment, it's important that we understand just how much oil has leaked.
"The platform should certainly not be allowed to restart operations until a full investigation into this incident is completed."
The prohibition of alcohol on the Easter holiday has been in place for 90 years.
The Intoxicating Liquor (Amendment) Bill was introduced by independent Senator Billy Lawless.
He said the passage of legislation was "a progressive step" towards "a separation of church and state".
According to Irish national broadcaster RTÉ, Senator Lawless said the move showed that "Ireland is a pluralist, globalist, forward-thinking country".
"In my mind the passage of today's bill is another progressive step in Ireland's long journey in the separation of church and state," he added.
"It is understandable when lawmakers try to introduce legislation that changes a practice that has been in place for almost 100 years, people pause to reflect, yet this is what lawmaking is about.
"There is an affinity to the closed day but that affinity is in fact leading to alcohol abuse in many cases."
The bill will now progress on to the Dáil (Irish parliament). | Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi has announced its first drone, pricing it significantly lower than a comparable model by the market leader DJI.

But you've probably never seen one of these...
Yep, that's right. Google Street View has evolved into "Camel Cam".
The trial in the United Arab Emirates' Liwa Desert has made it possible for each and every one of us to carry out a virtual tour of those sandy dunes from the comfort of our own homes.
The company says using using camels meant they could take "authentic imagery" with minimal disruption to the environment.
Street View now covers parts of around 230 countries.
But the project's had its fair share of controversies since it started in 2007.
When it launched in the UK, many people were appalled at what they saw as an invasion of their privacy by a Big Brother American business.
In the village of Broughton, near Milton Keynes, residents chased a Street View car away and accused Google of trying to peer through their windows.
In Germany, the reaction was much stronger, with entire streets blanked out as residents rebelled against the idea.
The company responded by saying "it's not like we are driving in one place at one time, it's not like a camera is pointing at you all the time".
In 2010 it also came out that some of the cars had been collecting data from unsecured wi-fi networks and that some emails and passwords were accidentally downloaded.
The company apologised and promised to learn from what had happened.
But at least one thing Google can rely on this time, surely there won't be any such complaints in the desert.

Prosecutors claimed two men made a 140-mile road trip to leave explosives concealed in a fire extinguisher among undergrowth close to the venue.
The alleged plan was to later move the device to the Waterfoot Hotel.
Details emerged as bail was refused to one of two men accused of bringing the bomb parts across the Irish border.
Darren Poleon, 41, of Drumbaragh in Kells, County Meath, is charged with preparing an act of terrorism.
He is also charged with conspiracy to cause an explosion, and possessing an improvised explosive device with intent to endanger life or cause damage to property.
Co-accused Brian Walsh, 34, of Dunshaughlin in County Meath, is charged with the same offences.
A prosecution lawyer said the pair were in a car stopped by police in Omagh three days before the bomb was discovered.
They claimed to be in Northern Ireland to buy an engine, the court heard.
Officers found a rucksack, bolt cutters, walkie-talkies, binoculars, a head torch, toy gun, latex gloves, wigs and a fake beard inside the vehicle.
At that stage the two men were arrested on suspicion of going equipped for theft, but later released on bail.
However, this changed after the explosives were found on 9 October, the prosecution barrister said.
"The police view is the device was at a transit location - it was to be moved closer or within the hotel prior to the PSNI recruitment event to take place the following day," she said.
Examination of the satellite navigation system in the car the two men were in revealed it travelled from County Meath to the "destination" at a roundabout near the Waterfoot Hotel, the court heard.
It also contained an address for Belfast Metropolitan College, where a similar police meeting was to be held, the prosecutor said.
The barrister said a reservation at the hotel for the night before the police event was made using Mr Poleon's name, but no one turned up for the booking.
A defence lawyer said the case against his client was "replete with speculation", with no DNA or fingerprint evidence linking him to the scene of the bomb find.
He also disputed allegations about the sat nav and hotel reservation.
Arguing that that the device could have been left in the undergrowth a month previously, he added: "It's a very weak circumstantial case."
Items found in Mr Poleon's car were only Halloween garments, a plastic cowboy gun and a child's walkie-talkie belonging to his son, he said.
However, the judge refused bail, saying there was prima facie evidence of involvement in a "very sophisticated and clearly terrorist-type operation.
"The circumstances and nature of the alleged offence raises real risks there will be further offending."
Gareth Southgate's first game at Wembley since succeeding Sam Allardyce on a permanent basis provided few alarms as England remain firmly in control at the top of Group F.
Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe justified his call-up at 34 for a first England appearance since late 2013 with a typically clinical finish after 21 minutes and a lively performance that suggested he still has a part to play under Southgate.
And when Southgate needed someone to break Lithuania's stubborn resistance after the break, substitute Jamie Vardy obliged from close-range in the 66th minute, converting a subtle touch from Liverpool's Adam Lallana inside the area.
Eyebrows were raised in some quarters when Southgate recalled Defoe to the squad having last represented his country against Chile at Wembley in November 2013.
Defoe's inclusion, however, represented perfect sense with a record of 14 Premier League goals and two assists in a Sunderland side propping up the table and England's main striker Harry Kane out injured.
And so it proved as he pounced in trademark fashion for his first England goal in four years and four days since scoring in an easy win against San Marino, clipping a clinical finish high beyond Lithuania keeper Ernestas Setkus after 21 minutes from Raheem Sterling's delivery.
Defoe had already brought one crucial block from the keeper earlier as he stole in on Lallana's pass. He looks like a player full of hunger who has lost none of his predatory, goalscoring instincts.
England will face stubborn opposition again before this World Cup qualifying campaign is over and a poacher like Defoe may well come in very handy for Southgate as he plots his route to Russia next summer.
England's friendly against Germany in Dortmund on Wednesday was effectively a testimonial for veteran striker Lukas Podolski on his international farewell - with an atmosphere to match in the normally thunderous Signal Iduna Park.
Wembley was also on the subdued side because World Cup Qualifying Group F is a hard-sell in terms of excitement for England's fans, who understandably expect Southgate's side to dismiss opposition such as Lithuania with the minimum of fuss.
England fulfilled those requirements comfortably in the face of stubborn opponents who sat back and invited them on in the early phases, then seemed intent on damage limitation and no more as any hope of getting a return from this qualifier evaporated.
There may be more of the same in the remaining home qualifiers against Slovakia and Slovenia but England, once again, are getting the job done as they move closer to reaching the World Cup.
The old lingering fear remains that the real measure of how far England are progressing under Southgate will come at a major tournaments, where their limitations have been exposed regularly.
Southgate can be satisfied from what he has got from England's international double header, with a creditable performance in defeat against World Cup holders Germany and victory here against Lithuania.
If he has a complaint, it could be that England need to be more ruthless in front of goal, paying for wasted opportunities in Dortmund and also missing chances to make this a more convincing margin of victory.
England will not find this failing too expensive in a friendly or against mediocre opposition - but it could cost them if the flaws are on show against higher-class in a competitive environment.
It is why Defoe's marksmanship is currently required and why the return of a fit and in-form Harry Kane will be so welcome.
England next qualifier is against Scotland at Hampden Park on Saturday, 10 June.

The collapse in HTC's share price means it is not big enough to be included in Taiwan's TWSE 50 Index.
In June it said second-quarter revenues had halved from the same period last year, resulting in an operating loss of 5.1bn Taiwanese dollars ($155m; £102m).
Last month, it said it would cut 15% of its global workforce.
HTC's share price is now less than the amount of cash it holds on deposit, which means investors consider the rest of the company to be, in theory, worthless.
Dropping out of the TWSE 50 index may push the share price even lower, as foreign investors are reluctant to hold shares not listed on the main Taiwan index.
HTC was founded in the 1990s and started out manufacturing notebook computers and some of the first touch handheld devices. It also made the world's first Android smartphone.
But it has been outgunned at the top end of the smart phone market by Apple, Samsung and LG.
Many blame the outcome on the massive advertising budgets of the market leaders. Samsung alone spent over $60m on marketing the launch of its new Galaxy S6 smart phone, roughly the same as HTC's entire annual marketing budget.
Meanwhile, Chinese makers such as Xiaomi and Lenovo have squeezed it at the cheaper end.
Analysts complain that HTC has not innovated enough, claiming for instance that its new HTC One M9 smart phone is almost identical to its former M8.
However, HTC has not been slow to launch new products. It has a fitness tracker called the Grip and recently launched active earphones.
Hours before the Taiwanese stock exchange announced HTC's ejection from the TWSE 50, the company launched the latest of its Desire smartphone range, the 728, in China.
HTC is also attracting attention with the launch of its virtual reality headset Vive at the end of the year. The company says more than 1,000 developers are working with it on content creation for gaming, entertainment and education apps.
Cher Wang, chairwoman and chief executive of HTC, said: "While the current market climate is challenging, I firmly believe the measures we are putting in place to streamline our operations, improve efficiency and focus, and increase our momentum will start to show results over the coming quarters."
While HTC is out of the TSWE 50, it will be listed in the smaller Mid-Cap 100 Index, which contains 100 companies, but only 20% of the value of the whole market.

The England midfielder's volley - which was fired into the ground and bounced agonisingly in for the home side - sparked chaotic scenes as Reds boss Jurgen Klopp raced along the touchline to celebrate with his players.
Just moments earlier, Klopp had been visibly incensed by his side's lapse in allowing Bassong to level - but the change in his mood was fitting in a game which ebbed and flowed like this one.
The German had his glasses knocked off by striker Christian Benteke during the celebrations and later said: "I have a second pair of glasses but I can't find them. It's really difficult looking for glasses without glasses."
The contrast in emotion on the touchline was as pronounced as anything the season has delivered so far and Norwich will have to recover before Tuesday's trip to Tottenham.
Their record now stands at 32 Premier League games without a win in matches where they have fallen behind - but having been 3-1 up, few will sting like this.
The first five shots on target in this game found the net and neither side could claim to have deserved a win, with each guilty of lapses which at times led to chaos and resulted in just the fourth 5-4 result in Premier League history.
Russell Martin will feel worse than most after gifting Milner the chance to put Liverpool 4-3 up with a weak, blind backpass.
And though Bassong's crisp strike from 20 yards appeared to have reprieved his fellow defender, substitute Lallana's first league goal of the season capped a frenzied finish.
The Reds are four points worse off than at this stage last season but could this win be a catalyst for a spell of consistency and a move higher than seventh place?
One wonders what reception Liverpool's players would have got from Klopp had it stayed 4-4, such was his demeanour, and his side masked some common inefficiencies in taking three points.
Mbokani's brilliant back-heeled finish arrived after failing to clear a corner, meaning the Reds have conceded eight goals from corners this season - a league high.
Their passing - at 75% accuracy - was not at its best, their defending was sometimes rash but they found key goals, despite having scored fewer times than relegation-threatened Sunderland before kick-off.
Much has been made of the need to sign a striker but after such a result, neglecting their defensive issues seems a big risk for Klopp who will surely be keen to have less stressful afternoons in the dugout.

"When you concede five goals you deserve to lose the game," concluded Norwich boss Alex Neil after the match.
The Scot admitted defensive errors have been his side's "downfall" this season and the 43 goals they have leaked in 23 games paints a damning picture - and only Sunderland (45) have let in more.
However, the performance of Naismith at the other end does offer something positive to take forward.
Making his debut alongside full-back Ivo Pinto - who had a tough afternoon - Naismith showed quality throughout.
He managed 18 goals in 52 league starts at Everton but may need to adopt the role of talisman rather than impact substitute at Norwich if they are to survive.
That said, they have now conceded 11 goals in three games - a stat which must improve if any Naismith contribution is to prove telling.
Norwich travel to Tottenham in the Premier League on Tuesday and Liverpool will be in action at the same time as they try to protect their 1-0 League Cup semi-final first-leg lead against Stoke City.

Since New Year, social media reports have surfaced of a low pitched hum, while others in the same area cannot hear it.
Bristol City Council tried to measure the noise in April 1980 after scores of complaints, but the hum continues.
"It was definitely humming away last night," Sheila Masey told the BBC.
Mrs Masey has lived in Staple Hill, north of Bristol, for 34 years. For the last 20 she has heard a "low rumbly hum".
"It's not every night, but there are certain nights when you think: 'Crikey, here we go'.
"I wouldn't say it wakes me up but if I can't drop off to sleep and it happens to be there, then I'm always conscious of it."
She had thought it might be linked to factories in Filton.
"It can get on your nerves at times but as it's not all the time, you just accept it."
Jake, from Downend, wrote on BBC Points West's Facebook page: "I hear it about 80% of nights ... It's changed pitch lately, it seems like an electrical buzz... It's the not knowing what it actually is that drives me mental."
Complaints about low frequency noise date back to the 1970s but most people do not hear it and some are sceptical about whether it exists at all.
'Occasionally receive complaints'
It is one of many "hums" worldwide and there have been many theories about its cause. Last year the Bristol Post reported that French researchers believed it was caused by waves vibrating on the ocean floor.
A Bristol City Council spokesman said: "We do occasionally receive complaints of hums from across the city.
"We are currently investigating to see if there is any evidence to suggest the existence of a noise problem and whether any action can be taken. "
Lisa, from Clifton, heard the Hum at night, in 2013 and 2014, when she had her second child.
"I thought it was me because I was very 'sinusy'," she said, adding she was "dumbfounded" to learn it was a local phenomenon.
She described it as like a "really softly beaten giant drum".
"It's easy to become, for periods, a little bit obsessed with the hum. You focus on it and, in the middle of the night, you find it difficult to screen out other noises."
The former Bangladesh high-performance head coach and England one-day batsman scored 15,329 first-class runs and played for Lancashire and Northants.
Director of cricket Kim Barnett said: "We're delighted to secure someone of Mal's calibre for the position.
"Mal will now be responsible for identifying and providing additional coaching support to youngsters in and around Derbyshire."
Loye, who played seven ODIs for England in 2007, will be responsible for the club's newly-created development pathway, working with young cricketers from the age of 13 and the club's academy.
"We want to produce cricketers who will go on to play for Derbyshire and potentially England," added Barnett.
"Creating a new senior development coach role and attracting a candidate as strong as Mal demonstrates how important this is to the club."
The Early Intervention Foundation's analysis found a fifth of children lacked the expected personal, social and emotional development by age five.
A quarter of children were unable to communicate at the level expected for their age, it added.
The government said it recognised the importance of early years investment.
And this was why it had raised spending by £1bn a year.
The report is based, in part, on analysis of pupils' results in the latest Early Years Foundation Stage profiles of children at the end of their Reception year.
These goals covering personal, social and emotional development expect children to be able to manage their feelings and behaviour, show confidence in trying new activities, and to speak in a familiar group, among other things.
Expectations on communication and language include being able to listen attentively, express themselves effectively and follow instructions.
Children who are not school-ready will struggle to make relationships with other children, they will find it difficult to play co-operatively and take turns.
They might not be able to follow the class rules or adjust their behaviour for different situations and may not understand that there are consequences to poor behaviour.
They may not be able express themselves very well and may not have grasped the difference between past, present and future tenses, for example.
They may struggle to tell stories about their own experiences and may find it difficult to respond to questions.
The report also cited figures indicating large average differences in behaviour and emotional health between the poorest and richest children.
These were apparent as early as age three and persisted until age 11, it said.
The foundation's chief executive, Carey Oppenheim, said: "Too many children arrive for their first day at primary school lacking the broad range of skills they need to reach their full potential.
"This can have damaging consequences which can last a lifetime - especially as children with strong social, emotional and communication skills developed in childhood have a better chance of getting a good job and being healthy, than those who are just bright or clever.
"The gap in the development [of] social and emotional skills between children growing up in poor and rich families begins at the age of three.
"Seeking help as a parent must not be seen as a sign of failure."
The call comes as the government is about to introduce new baseline assessments for Reception children.
The foundation called for any baseline assessment to give the same weight to social, emotional and physical development as literacy and numeracy.
A Department for Education spokesperson said: "We are committed to making sure every single child starts school ready to learn - that is why we have increased spending on childcare and the early years by around £1bn per year.
"Families can now access a record amount of free early years education for two-, three- and four-year-olds. The latest research has also shown the quality of these providers is improving, meaning that more children will get the start they deserve. Getting the basics right early on is essential, so that all children can fulfil their potential.
"We agree that parents deserve a more complete picture of their child's development. That is why we are introducing a joined-up health and education review for two-year-olds and have supported the launch of a parent's guide on learning and development up to the age of five."
His party's ard chomhairle (national executive) met in Dublin on Saturday to discuss the political and financial crisis facing Stormont's institutions.
Mr Maskey said they agreed that Sinn Féin "cannot and will not stand over" proposed cuts to the welfare system.
He called for further talks with the UK government, saying a deal was "doable".
Speaking on the BBC's Sunday Politics programme, Mr Maskey said: "The ard chomhairle had a very long conversation yesterday.
"We understand fully the implications of where this might go, we do not want the collapse of the institutions.
"What we do want is to recreate the agreement that the five parties had at Christmas. Let's sit down and hammer that out again if need be, it is doable."
In March, Sinn Féin dramatically withdrew its support for the wide-ranging deal it had struck last December, known as the Stormont House Agreement.
The agreement provided mitigation measures that would have protected benefit recipients in Northern Ireland who stood to lose out as a result of welfare reform.
The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) minister who tried unsuccessfully to pass the Welfare Reform Bill in the assembly last week told the Sunday Politics that those protective measures have been "lost" and "put in the bin" because of the parties' failure to agree.
Social Development Minister Mervyn Storey accused Sinn Féin of being led by its "southern command" in the Republic of Ireland over welfare policy.
Mr Storey said Sinn Féin was "looking both ways" and "constantly looking over its shoulder in relation to what happens in another jurisdiction".
However, Mr Maskey said: "Sinn Féin doesn't have a northern command or a southern command, it has a national party leadership."
The West Belfast MLA listed examples of deals, once believed to impossible, that were struck during the peace process, including the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, the 2006 St Andrews Agreement that led to the DUP sharing power with Sinn Féin and the devolution of policing and justice in 2010.
Northern Ireland Secretary of State Theresa Villiers has written to party leaders inviting them to a review of the Stormont House Agreement on Tuesday.
US President Barack Obama said his death was a major blow to al-Qaeda.
Awlaki, of Yemeni descent, has been on the run in Yemen since December 2007.
The US said that as a key figure in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), he had played a "significant role" in plots to blow up US airliners and had sought use poison to kill US citizens.
Mr Obama is said to have personally ordered his killing last year.
Yemen's defence ministry statement said only that Awlaki had died in Khashef in Jawf province, about 140km (87 miles) east of the capital, Sanaa, "along with some of his companions".
US and Yemeni officials later named one of those as Samir Khan, also a US citizen but of Pakistani origin, who produced an online magazine promoting al-Qaeda's ideology.
Local tribal leaders told the AFP news agency that Awlaki had been moving around within Yemen in recent weeks to evade capture. Local people told AP he had been travelling between Jawf and Marib provinces when he died.
US officials said Awlaki's convoy was hit by a US drone and jet strike.
Mr Obama said that as the leader of external operations for AQAP, Awlaki, born in 1971, had taken "a lead in planning and directing efforts to murder innocent Americans" and was also "directly responsible for the death of many Yemeni citizens".
By Frank GardnerBBC security correspondent
This is the biggest blow to al-Qaeda since the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Anwar al-Awlaki was possibly the organisation's most inspirational cleric and ideologue in the Middle East.
Using the internet and an online magazine called Inspire, Awlaki encouraged his followers to attack Western targets. He has been blamed for inspiring US army major Nidal Hassan to kill his fellow soldiers in Texas and for inspiring the British woman Roshonara Choudhry to stab her MP Stephen Timms because he had supported the invasion of Iraq.
Awlaki was a charismatic cleric and fluent English speaker, and he may be hard for al-Qaeda to replace.
He said the death marked another "milestone in the broader efforts to defeat al-Qaeda and its affiliates", and paid tribute to US intelligence and the Yemeni security forces for their co-operation.
"This is further proof that al-Qaeda and its affiliates will find no safe haven anywhere in the world, " he said.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Awlaki had "demonstrated his intent and ability to cause mass terror".
One US official told the American network ABC that US intelligence had had "a very intense focus" on Awlaki for some time, waiting for a chance to strike.
The unnamed official said there had been "a good opportunity to hit him" on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks this year, but that "it never materialised".
BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera says the killing is significant because Awlaki's use of modern media meant he was able to reach out and inspire people susceptible to radicalisation.
Profile: Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
Al-Qaeda's remaining leaders
He is believed to have played a significant role in the Christmas 2009 Detroit airline bomb attempt and in the plot which sent two bombs in printer cartridges on US-bound cargo planes in 2010. They were intercepted in the UK and Dubai.
He has also been implicated in the 2009 US army base killings in Fort Hood, Texas, and a failed bombing in New York's Times Square in 2010.
Washington said he had sought to use poisons including cyanide and ricin in attacks.
When he was imam of a San Diego mosque in the 1990s, his sermons were attended by two future 9/11 hijackers, Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi.
He also lived in the UK from 2002-04, where he spent several months giving lectures to Muslim youth.
In a video posted in November last year he called for the killing of Americans, saying they were from the "party of devils".
Weeks later, he survived an air strike in Shabwa province in which at least 30 militants were killed.
He has been reported dead in the past following US air strikes on southern Yemen in December 2009 and November 2010.
He was the target of a US drone attack that killed two al-Qaeda operatives in southern Yemen on 5 May.
The death comes amid concerns in Washington about the impact of Yemen's political crisis on its ability to tackle al-Qaeda militants.
President Ali Abdullah Saleh is facing a widespread protest movement, along with an armed insurrection by renegade army units and tribal fighters.
Mr Saleh, who was injured three months ago when his residence was shelled, returned last week after treatment in Saudi Arabia.
In an interview published on Thursday, he said he would not stand down, as promised in a deal brokered by Gulf States, if his opponents are allowed to stand in elections to succeed him.
The event, organised by the Bristol Smile Instigation Collective, saw thrill-seekers armed with squirt pistols, water filled balloons and mega blasters descend on Millennium Square.
The event kicked off at 19:30 BST, with a countdown on the square's big screen.
Becca Mills, one of the organisers, said: "We weren't expecting that many people but it's quite a big space."
Launched on the group's Facebook page less than a week ago, the "awesome water fight" attracted nearly 3,500 sign-ups ahead of the event.
With temperatures approaching 20C (68F), hundreds descended on the square for the public water fight - using its water fountains to fill up balloons, bottles and buckets.
"We didn't realise it was going to be this well attended or get this big," admitted Ms Mills.
"Because it exploded so much, it was all a bit last minute."
Set up to boost community "happiness and wellbeing", the Smile Instigation Collective has been running a series of workshops focussed on "interacting with strangers".
Along with organising an art exhibition in a phone box, decorating trees with ribbons and attaching helium balloons to bicycles, the group also gave out cakes and flowers to strangers.
Sgt Nick Lidstone, 54, of Heslerton Way, Barrington pleaded guilty to 13 charges, including sexual assault and taking indecent photographs of a child.
He also admitted three counts of rape when he appeared at Norwich Crown Court last month. He is awaiting sentencing.
Lidstone was dismissed from Cambridgeshire Police by the chief constable on Tuesday.
The charges against him relate to alleged abuse between 1997 and 2014.
The three rape offences were said to have taken place when the victim was an adult.
Lidstone has denied six further offences.
Deputy Chief Constable Alec Wood, from Cambridgeshire Police, said: "This was an appalling crime where the victim was put through a horrendous ordeal over a prolonged period".
Lidstone was sacked on the grounds of gross misconduct.
The decision follows an incident during Tuesday's first show when an owl escaped into the auditorium.
The bird had failed to return to its handler after making a brief flight during a scene.
Previews of the two-part play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, began this week.
At Thursday's performance of part two, a sign at the Palace Theatre informed the audience that there were "no real birds" in the production.
A statement issued on behalf of the producers said: "The production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is currently in its preview stage, with the process designed to allow the creative team time to rehearse changes or explore specific scenes further before the play's official opening.
"As part of this process earlier this week the decision was made not to feature live owls in any aspect of the production moving forward.
"The owls that were associated with the production were expertly cared for by a team of certified trainers and an on-site specialist veterinary surgeon (Steve Smith, MRCVS) who ensured the owls' welfare and enrichment needs were safeguarded at all times.
"This was of utmost importance to the production."
Fan excitement for JK Rowling
Animal charity Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) welcomed the news.
"Peta commends the production team for coming to its senses and recognising that treating owls like props goes against every message of respect and kindness that JK Rowling's wonderful books taught us," director Mimi Bekhechi said.
"Harry Potter can now join the ranks of innovative stage productions like War Horse, The Lion King and Running Wild which prove that animals need not be exploited for the theatre - and that the possibilities of prop design are limited only by our own creativity."
Shortly before the second half of Thursday's performance started, JK Rowling was spotted in a box stage right, causing screams of excitement from the audience with hundreds craning their necks trying to catch a glimpse of her.
The show does not have its official opening until 30 July.
Based on an original story by Rowling, writer Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany, the play is set 19 years after the events of the seventh and final book in the series, the Deathly Hallows.
It portrays a grown-up Harry (Jamie Parker) as an employee at the Ministry of Magic, while his youngest son Albus (Sam Clemmett) has to deal with the "heavy burden" of the Potter family legacy.
The show runs in the West End to May 2017.
All of the go-to guys from the World Cup are there. The near-heroes from that epic quarter-final against Australia are on the list with a few welcome additions.
Alex Dunbar, who was one of Europe's best centres before getting cut down and missing the World Cup, is back. There are deserving calls for two new props - Rory Sutherland and Zander Fagerson. The admirable John Barclay has reappeared.
While you scan the list of names and think back to what might have been against the Wallabies in the autumn, the temptation is for grandiose thinking. Cotter knows his players better now than he did 12 months ago.
In a relatively short time in charge he almost got them to a World Cup semi-final. On top of that, other nations like England, France and even Ireland are in varying degrees of flux.
Could this be the year that Scotland are elevated above the mundane?
Then you scratch below the surface and you see the complications. On paper, yes, this looks like an exciting crew. In reality, though, too many of Cotter's marquee players are out of form and some others are injured and are struggling to make the early games.
On top of that there are a few more who are just coming back from injury and might not be match-sharp. Or, at least, not Test match sharp.
Let's take it from full-back. Stuart Hogg is one of the most exhilarating runners in Six Nations rugby, a talent to quicken the pulse. We haven't seen much of him at his best since the World Cup, though.
Hogg has lost his mojo in Glasgow's recent malaise. It's been four straight losses for Gregor Townsend's team and the loss of confidence is obvious.
He's not alone in needing to find something - and quickly. Tommy Seymour is a fine predator, even against the best international teams in the world. He's a proven poacher, but right now he's injured and even before he was injured he was out of sorts.
Sean Maitland will surely start on the opposite wing, but Maitland is playing for a losing side, London Irish, these days. Tim Visser was going really well for his new club, Harlequins, until he tore his hamstring. He's in Cotter's squad but he'll most probably miss the early rounds.
Mark Bennett and Peter Horne are also in Cotter's squad but their inclusion is something of a mirage. They're both on the casualty list at the moment.
Cotter doesn't strike you as a man who gets uptight about things, but the injury profile of Bennett, in particular, will surely be stressing him out. His shoulder problem could heal in time to play some part in the Six Nations - or not.
The midfield has Dunbar and Matt Scott and Duncan Taylor in the cavalry. A strong line-up, but on his day Bennett is capable of world class and Scotland need all the world class it can get if it's to have some joy in this Six Nations.
Finn Russell, like Stuart Hogg, has not been at his best for a while. He's another one to say your prayers for. A confident Russell is a joy and Cotter needs him to return.
WP Nel and John Hardie are not new to this Scotland team, but they will be new to the Six Nations. Nel has eight caps and only one of them was won at Murrayfield. Hardie has five caps - in Turin, Paris, Gloucester, Newcastle and Twickenham.
He knows what Murrayfield is like as an Edinburgh player, but not as a Scotland player. The Calcutta Cup match will be his first nod in the capital.
The pair of them have made a big difference in a short space of time. They bring scrummaging power and open-side devilment and work-rate. And optimism. Scotland's pack will be better than 12 months ago.
Alasdair Dickinson has played precious little rugby since the World Cup, but Edinburgh's pack - a developing juggernaut - has hardly missed a beat without him and that's a big tribute to Sutherland, who has occupied Dickinson's place in the front-row.
Sutherland fully warrants his inclusion, but equally it's a relief to see Dickinson on his way back. He's a senior player and such an important cog. Sutherland's day will come for sure.
Mercifully, the Gray brothers are in rude health. Jonny might be captain of a struggling Glasgow side but his own game is holding up nicely. His big brother - very, very big - has been going well at Castres, who are improving their position in the Top 14.
They're both high quality players, but the cupboard isn't exactly bursting open with outstanding back-up. Rob Harley would have been an option, but he's injured. So, too, the desperately unlucky Grant Gilchrist. Tim Swinson and Ben Toolis have made it instead.
There shouldn't have been any surprise when Ryan Wilson was left out of Cotter's selection. He's not delivered his best stuff of late and now he's got a potential suspension hanging over his head. Understandably, Cotter is moving on without him.
Against Australia, Cotter went with Blair Cowan at six, David Denton at eight and John Hardie at seven. He rather stumbled on the combination - Cowan was not in the original squad - but it worked.
Josh Strauss could shake things up at six - though he's not been at his thunderous best either and he has missed Glasgow's last two games through injury - and Barclay might even do the same if he's given a shot. But he won't be holding his breath - not after missing the cut for the World Cup.
Chris Fusaro and Adam Ashe are the extra back-rows.
The big omissions from the World Cup squad are Wilson and the Glasgow hooker, Fraser Brown, who is another of the walking wounded. Cotter, however, has not given Brown the same latitude as other injured players in his squad.
The coach is likely to spend the coming weeks in silent contemplation - he does that a lot - about what his team might be capable of if everybody turns up with their best stuff. Right now, that's not the case with some marquee players in his backline. And it's a worry.
The plucky Grimethorpe Colliery Band - whose story gave rise to 1996 film Brassed Off - was given the honour as part of BBC Music Day.
It was installed outside the band's rehearsal rooms in South Yorkshire.
The plaque was one of 47 commemorating people or places that have influenced musical culture.
Live updates and more stories from Yorkshire
Brassed Off, which starred the late British acting legend Pete Postlethwaite, featured the fictional town of Grimley and was partly based on the closure of Grimethorpe's pit in 1993.
It used music from the village's band.
Stephen Tompkinson, who starred as Phil in the film, said: I'm incredibly proud the film has lasted and lasted it means so much to people.
"It really strikes a deep note in them, when it would have been far easier just to pack up and stop entirely this band kept playing on.
"They're still there loud and proud today."
Roy Bowater, a tuba player, said: "I think the sound of Grimethorpe is unique, it grabs you by the throat it is just something that gets you from within."
The band was founded in 1917 by workers from the local coal mine.
It survived the closure of the pit in 1993 and relied on sponsorship money from a coal mining company, until 2011. Despite occasional concerns for its future it still continues to make music.
Grimethorpe is about 7 miles (11km) from Barnsley.
The airline expects about 19,000 passengers will use the year-round service, which will operate three times a week from 27 March.
Director of Ports, Ann Reynolds, said it is an "exciting opportunity for residents" and could "bring in potential new tourism" to the island.
Easyjet already operate services to Liverpool, London Gatwick and Bristol.
Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) accused Aslef members of refusing to drive a new, longer train.
GTR said it went to the High Court with "great reluctance".
Earlier this month a new train was driven empty, with Aslef members not prepared to work "driver-only" services.
A spokesman for GTR said it was pleased Aslef "must not induce" its drivers to refuse to operate the new 12-car trains.
He said: "Gatwick Express services have operated without conductors operating the doors for 17 years, so we were never able to understand why the Aslef union objected to the operation of these new trains in the same way.
"The new trains will offer significant benefits to passengers, including a much better travelling environment."
The union said it had never reached an agreement for the new trains on the Gatwick Airport to London Victoria service and planned to ballot its members.
Johannes Franken, 50, from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, admitted six counts of fraud at a hearing at Oxford Crown Court last month.
He made 59 transactions between the motor manufacturer and himself, between 2011 and 2014.
Some of the cash was spent on buying a diving school in Mauritius.
Other proceeds went on high-end cars, a motorbike, a property in France, watches and jewellery.
Franken, a former account manager at the BMW-Mini plant in Oxford, made it look like he was paying a supplier, but he was actually paying the cash into his own account.
The payments ranged from £7,000 to £278,000, totalling £5.9m. The fraud was discovered following a routine audit by BMW-Mini.
Appearing at Oxford Crown Court via videolink, on 12 May, Franken admitted five counts of fraud and one count of acquiring criminal property.
Speaking after the conviction, Det Sgt Duncan Wynn of Thames Valley Police said: "Franken has systematically abused his position of trust with his employer to steal large sums of money.
"So far assets and monies totalling £2.7m have been located and restrained under the Proceeds of Crime Act. We are currently actively pursuing the outstanding amounts."
It has been an eventful day in the Football League, so BBC Sport brings you five stories from Saturday's fixtures.
It was an eventful afternoon for Portsmouth's on-loan striker Jayden Stockley. He was meant to start Saturday's game at Bristol Rovers on the substitutes' bench before Adam McGurk was injured in the warm-up and the 21-year-old was handed a starting spot.
Media playback is not supported on this device
With 70 minutes gone, and Pompey level at 1-1, Stockley was due to come off after a workmanlike performance. But the switch was delayed and a minute later he scored the winner, sending Portsmouth top of League Two.
Paul Cook's side are still unbeaten in the league as their promotion charge continues to gather pace.
"It's great to be where we are after nine games, but football has a habit of kicking you in the teeth," Cook told BBC Radio Solent. "It's better than being bottom.
"Adam McGurk did his ankle in the warm-up, that is part and parcel of the game. It was a great goal, great finish, great passing and great movement.
"We were taking Jayden off, he had worked tirelessly and I felt at that stage Matt Tubbs' movement might have got us a goal."
They had not won since April but at last the Football League's bottom side have a first victory of the new season.
Tyler Blackwood, 24, came off the bench to fire Newport County to their first three points of 2015-16. Terry Butcher's side remain bottom of League Two but at least he also has his first win as County boss.
The goal marked a double celebration for on-loan QPR striker Blackwood, as he was making his league debut.
It was a disappointing debut for Joey Barton, who came off the bench to play his first game in Burnley colours. His new side were beaten 2-1 by Reading, who climbed up to third in the Championship.
Burnley slipped to sixth after their second league defeat of the season and manager Sean Dyche bemoaned their poor start to the game.
"It's unusual for us to start so sloppy really," he said. "They scored the first from us crossing the ball and a breakaway and a bit of a mix-up really so it's a mistake from us, and the second one was good play from them."
With some notable exceptions, players really enjoy getting one over their former side and Leon Clarke did exactly that with two goals for Bury as they defeated Coventry 2-1.
Clarke made 44 appearances for the Sky Blues over two spells before leaving in acrimonious circumstances - handing in a transfer request before moving to Wolves.
His twin strikes on Saturday saw Bury move up to fifth in League One.
Shakers manager David Flitcroft paid tribute to his side after the victory, telling BBC Radio Manchester: "We're doing something at this football club that's creating a new future and that's what I've seen today.
"Winning football matches is something that takes a hell of a lot of work."
Brighton may have been denied victory by Gary Madine's injury-time header for Bolton, but their early-season form shows no sign of letting up.
Chris Hughton's men are one of two unbeaten sides in the Football League and the match was also notable for Bobby Zamora's name appearing in the starting line-up - 12 years after his last outing for the Seagulls.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Zamora scored in his last start for Brighton and he teed Dale Stephens up for Brighton's opener on Saturday.
"He did well," Hughton told BBC Sussex. "We knew we wouldn't get 90 minutes from him but he will benefit from that and will get better and better.
"It's a good start for him and we need to make sure we look after him. It's a real good option to have Bobby available."
The controversial camera system, which stretches from Dunblane to Inverness, went live in October.
Despite critics claiming it would have little effect on safety, the A9 Safety Group said the cameras had a positive influence on driver behaviour.
Opponents argue that the cameras disrupt traffic flow on the road.
The A9 Safety Group, which involves Transport Scotland, police and road maintenance companies, said overall speeding was down from about one in three drivers to one in 20.
It added that the cameras - which have been introduced at 27 locations between Dunblane and Inverness - had detected 298 vehicles exceeding the speed limit over the first three months.
Police Scotland said 2,493 offences had been recorded over the same period the previous year.
The safety group said excessive speeding - where drivers were traced travelling at more than 10mph above the speed limit - had fallen by 97%.
An associated pilot scheme allowing lorries to go at 50mph, which is 10mph faster than the national limit, has helped to reduce journey times, it added.
Average journey times between Perth and Inverness have increased by up to 14 minutes, according to the new report. Journey times were "slightly higher" in December, it said.
Stewart Leggett, chairman of the A9 Safety Group, said the figures from the first three months of the camera scheme and HGV speed limit pilot were "very encouraging".
He said: "Drivers are clearly paying heed and moderating their speed, and we welcome this positive contribution to road safety on the A9.
"All the early findings on speed, journey time and journey time reliability are in line with our predictions, while traffic volumes on the A9 are remaining higher than in 2013, with no evidence of drivers diverting onto other routes.
"The low number of drivers being detected by the cameras and the speed profiles from along the route indicates the early effectiveness of the cameras in improving behaviour.
"But the A9 would be safer still if every driver observed the limits."
Ch Supt Iain Murray, head of road policing at Police Scotland, said the cameras had influenced driver behaviour.
Road Safety Scotland and the Road Haulage Association have also welcomed the results.
Neil Greig, of the Institute of Advanced Motorists, told BBC Scotland that he was "very pleased the cameras were working".
He said: "It is going to take over 10 years to dual the entire A9 from Perth to Inverness. During that time we did need to do something about the road safety record of that road."
The £3m camera scheme has been installed while work is progressed to upgrade single carriageway stretches of the A9 between Inverness and Perth to dual carriageway.
The Scottish government hopes to upgrade the whole length of the A9 to dual carriageway by 2025.
The £3bn project involves the upgrade of 80 miles of single carriageway. The road south of Perth is dual carriageway.
"Are we nearly there yet?" one of my kids will inevitably shout from the back seats five minutes into an almost four-hour drive from Inverness to Glasgow.
There are a number of stock replies from the front, such as: "No. And just be happy you have your wee TVs and videos to watch. We didn't have those in our day."
The journey is usually punctuated with other constant questions: "Is this the long bit of dual carriageway, or the short one?" "Why is he overtaking now???"
Driving the A9 is never something that is looked forward to. It is a long and frequently busy road. Whether you are travelling on it at nine at night, or two in the morning, there are always cars, or cars towing caravans, or big motor homes towing cars, as well as vans and lorries.
The road has acquired an almost mythical infamy. Even people who have never driven it will tut and mutter about journey times and how dangerous it is.
Sorting out the A9 was never going to be easy, or cheap.
Installing the average speed camera system has cost £3m, while dualling the road all the way from Inverness to Perth involves a mammoth programme of work that will run to an estimated £3bn.
There are some who argue that the road should not be upgraded at all and the investment should go on the rail network instead.
The completion of the dual carriageway project by 2025 should bring an end to some of the questions about journeys on A9 - although "are we nearly there yet?" is unlikely to ever go away.
The cameras keep watch for any cars breaking the 60mph speed limit on the single carriageway sections.
In the past three months there have been no fatalities on the parts of the A9 covered by the cameras and overall the accident rate is down.
But the system has attracted strong criticism.
Mike Burns, spokesman for A9 Average Speed Cameras Are Not the Answer, said his group had looked at details of more than 100,000 accidents on the road since 2004.
He said: "Only 2% were determined to be down to speeding and the rest were down to incidents of, for example, foreign drivers being on the wrong side of the road, poor overtaking and right-turn manoeuvres over dual carriageways.
"If these cameras were such a success, why is the A9 Safety Group now considering shutting right turns to stop right-turn accidents?
"The cameras were meant to be the be all and end all of all accidents, but they simply are not."

Farah, 32, lost out in a sprint finish as Heath won in 25 minutes 29 seconds.
"It is disappointing to lose but better to lose now than later in the year. I couldn't really sprint - it was very slippery," Farah told BBC Sport.
Fellow Briton Kate Avery, 24, recorded her first senior international victory in the women's race at Holyrood Park.
Avery took the lead in the early stages and finished the 6km course in 21:05 to win by four seconds.
Ireland's Fionnuala McCormack, representing Europe, was second, with GB's Gemma Steel third in 21:31.
Great Britain won the team event with Europe second and USA third.
Scotland A, anchored by Laura Muir, won the 4x1km mixed invitational relay with Britain second and Ireland third.
Britain's Alex Yee, 17, won the junior men's race with compatriot Bobby Clay, 18, victorious in the women's junior event.
Farah, competing in the event for the first time since winning in 2011, began his Rio Olympics preparations with a rare defeat over the 8km course.
The five-time world outdoor champion was at the back of the field in the early stages and, although he gradually moved through the pack, he appeared to struggle on fields made muddy by heavy rain.
Britain's Ross Millington and Callum Hawkins made the early running but Heath, 30, produced a decisive move on the final 1.5km lap to beat Farah by two seconds.
American Scott Fabul was third in 25:38 with Hawkins (25:41) fourth and Millington (25:43) fifth.
Avery, a silver medallist in the European Cross Country Championships in 2014 and 2015, was thrilled with her victory, saying that previously she was "always a bridesmaid".
The win came after the recent death of her father and she told BBC Sport: "He's still my biggest supporter. I am sure he was pushing me round out there - that's why I ran so well.
"I knew I was in shape but you never know how your body will react. It was so cold.
"Everything is geared towards Rio, which is my main aim this year."
David Webb, 43, from Cambridgeshire, was injured when the crane tilted and fell at a site in Crewe, Cheshire on 21 June. He died on 25 July as a result of his injuries.
David Newall, 36, from Bradford, and Rhys Barker, 18, from Castleford, West Yorkshire also died in the accident.
The Health and Safety Executive and Cheshire East Council are investigating.
More from Staffordshire and Cheshire
Mr Webb was originally from Northampton but was living in St Neots. His father died six days before he did.
His family said he died doing a job he loved and was passionate about.
"Dave was a fun loving character who lived his life to the full. He was known for his large personality and sung his way through life," a family statement said.
The building site, which was formerly part of the Bombardier works complex, belongs to Seddon Homes.
A nearby resident said he had seen the crane being used to lift tools when it started to tilt and then fall.
The HSE said it is aware of the incident and is working fully with Cheshire Police in its investigation.
Brendan Rodgers' side won the treble in 2016-17 and dropped only eight points in the Premiership - finishing 39 clear of their Old Firm rivals.
"The gulf couldn't be any bigger," said Celtic striker Griffiths. "They'll be trying to bridge the gap.
"But for him to come out and say we should be further ahead is ludicrous."
King, quoted in various newspapers this week, suggested Celtic should be further ahead given that Rangers had been "in the wilderness for four years".
However, Griffiths said: "If you said to someone at the start of last season that Rangers would be 30-odd points behind Celtic at the end of the season, you'd be raging.
"What was the gulf? 30-odd points. How does he expect that to be bigger? They were touting at the start of last season that they were going to win the league and this and that.
"Joey Barton was coming up and saying he was going to be the best player in Scotland - he lasted a few months.
"In the first [Old Firm] game, they got hammered 5-1 and they got hammered 5-1 at the end of the season.
"So, the gulf couldn't be any bigger. This season, they'll be trying to bridge the gap.
"We just want to concentrate on our job and our job is to defend our title. And if we do that, we'll have no qualms about it.
"Ultimately it's about what we do and if we are at our best nobody in Scotland can live with us."
Celtic open their Scottish Premiership defence at home to Hearts while Rangers travel to Fir Park to take on Motherwell.
The five-time Grand Slam winner, 29, was banned by the International Tennis Federation after testing positive for meldonium at the 2016 Australian Open.
The Russian, who said she had been taking the drug since 2006 for health problems, appealed against the ban.
She maintains she had "not tried to use a performance-enhancing substance".
In a statement, Cas said its decision would be announced at 14:00 BST on Tuesday.
Meldonium became a banned substance on 1 January 2016.
Bailly featured in United's starting XI in Saturday's 2-1 win over Middlesbrough and Mourinho was hoping the defender would be available to take on West Ham on Monday as well.
But Mourinho told the club's website Ivory Coast's coach Michel Dussuyer was not willing to take the risk as they prepare to defend their African title.
"Bailly is leaving - he goes to the national team," said Mourinho.
"He has to be with them on 2 January. We asked them for him to be on 3 January but they refused, so he cannot play against West Ham.
"With these kind of decisions they are controlling every second, so for sure they are going to win the African Cup," said Mourinho.
But the United manager says the club should not be harmed in the short-term.
"I know I lose Bailly for a month so I'm going to have Smalling, Rojo, Jones... three players for eight matches."
Bailly, 22, has had a mixed start to his United career, starting the season strongly before suffering a knee injury.

BBC series Cat Watch used GPS trackers and cat cameras to follow 100 cats in three different environments - in the city, a village and a farm.
The experiment found that the farm cats travelled much further than the city cats - up to 15 football pitches' worth, compared to just up the street.
Domestic cats have also learnt to meow to humans over time, so that they can get what they want from us.
Cat Watch presenter Liz Bonnin talked to Newsround's Jenny about some of the main discoveries.

The government said "a few passengers" had their temperatures checked and filled in a health questionnaire at Terminal 1 on Tuesday.
Screening will be extended to Heathrow's other terminals by the end of the week, and Gatwick airport and Eurostar next week.
The measures are set to cost ??9m over the next six months.
The UK and the US have both introduced screening measures in response to the threat from Ebola, which has killed more than 4,000 people in West Africa.
The first flight subjected to the screening left Liberia for Brussels on Monday night, with transfers coming into Heathrow at 09:30 BST on Tuesday.
High-risk passengers were flagged up to border control and passed on to health workers from Public Health England who then carried out the actual screening.
The Department of Health estimates that 85% of all arrivals to the UK from affected countries will come through Heathrow.
There are no direct flights to the UK from the three worst-affected countries - Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea.
Public Health England director Dr Paul Cosford said: "This is a set-up process. We will be learning from the experience today and over coming days as to how it is working.
"The principle benefit is about distributing information to people about how to contact, the symptoms to look out for, and who to contact in the event that they do get symptoms when they are in this country."
He said the expectation was that everyone who was asked to go through the process would do so.
He said the information given out via leaflets, and protocol about who to call if affected, was as important as the screening.
No system was "100% certain" but it was about reducing the risk as much as possible, he added.
He said the overall risk to the UK remained low, and the domestic health system was "world class and ready to respond".
*In all cases but two, first in Madrid and later in Dallas, the patient was infected with Ebola while in West Africa.

The Border Force does have legislation to be able to compel people to be screened if they are deemed to be a public health risk.
Border Force chief of staff Dan O'Mahoney said he did not anticipate any problems.
"We envisage that most people will be fine with the request to undertake that screening," he said.
"If it becomes an issue and we find a number of people are saying they don't want to undergo that screening we will need to look at the words we use and how we are actually referring them on to PHE."
Mr O'Mahoney said about 1,000 passengers a month flew into Heathrow from the affected countries, 0.05% of its total traffic.
One of the first passengers to be screened, Sorious Samura, 51, who had been in Liberia filming a documentary about the outbreak, was not impressed with the system.
He said: "Most of the people who had been on our flight from Liberia to Brussels didn't go into the screening room, they just seemed to go through to customs and presumably out of the airport.
"I only filled in the questionnaire and went through the screening because I felt a sense of responsibility, having seen the effect of Ebola where I've been."
At 28,000 tonnes RFA Argus is one of the Royal Navy's larger support ships. Now docked at Falmouth she's being loaded with supplies to help the British military in the fight against the deadly Ebola virus. On board they're storing hospital beds, medical equipment and protective clothing in her massive cavernous hangar.
Above, on her large flat deck, Argus will carry three Royal Navy Merlin helicopters to fly people and equipment around. The ship will act as an offshore base as the troops set up four Ebola treatment centres in Sierra Leone. There is a hospital on board along with 80 medical staff.
But it won't be used to treat anyone who's contracted the virus. Should any of the crew or the Royal Marines on board become infected they would be kept in isolation and then taken to one of the clinics on the ground.
The marines will help offload the supplies when Argus reaches the coast of Sierra Leone, after a 10-day voyage. They say they're not worried about being infected by Ebola because they'll have little contact with people on the ground. Maj Luke Davis says malaria is as much of a concern.
Under the screening measures, passengers are identified by UK Border Force officers on arrival before nurses and consultants from Public Health England carry out the actual screening.
They will have their temperatures taken, complete a risk questionnaire and have contact details recorded. Anyone with suspected Ebola will be taken to hospital.
Passengers deemed to be at high risk due to contact with Ebola patients, but who are displaying no symptoms, will be contacted daily by Public Health England.
Questions asked on the form include "did you come into contact with a person known/suspected to have Ebola" and "do you have a temperature?".
The World Health Organization (WHO) said there were estimates of 8,914 cases of Ebola now reported in west Africa and 4,447 deaths.
WHO assistant director general Bruce Aylward told a news conference in Geneva that there could be 5,000 to 10,000 new cases per week by December.
He said one of the main concerns was the increase in the number of cases in the capital cities of the affected countries.
A 56-year-old UN medical worker, originally from Sudan, has died from Ebola at a hospital in Leipzig, Germany, despite receiving experimental drugs to treat the virus.
The UK government has pledged ??125m "to help contain, control, treat and defeat Ebola", hundreds of NHS staff have volunteered to travel to West Africa and 750 troops have been deployed to help build treatment centres and provide logistical support.
UK casualty vessel RFA Argus, which has a fully-equipped hospital, is expected to set sail for Sierra Leone later this week. It will not be used to treat Ebola-infected patients but mainly to ferry kit and people.
There is no cure or vaccine for Ebola, which is transmitted through sweat, blood and saliva.
Symptoms of Ebola include fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhoea, bleeding - but these are similar to more common infections like flu and some stomach bugs.
If you have these symptoms and have had contact with an Ebola patient then ring 111 first, do not go directly to A&E or a GP.
If there has been no contact with Ebola then seek help from 111, your GP or A&E if necessary.
The chances of developing Ebola in the UK remain low.

While accepting the UK was leaving, Shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer said Labour would press for a different deal prioritising jobs and work rights.
It would also seek an early deal on transitional arrangements to smooth the way for the UK's departure in 2019.
The Conservatives said only they had a clear plan for exiting the EU.
Ahead of a campaign visit to Wales on Tuesday. Theresa May said the Brexit vote should have been a "wake-up call for a generation of politicians who have taken the people for granted for too long" but instead other parties had "closed ranks".
Labour, most of whose MPs backed a Remain vote in last year's referendum, is in a fight to hold onto seats in Leave-voting constituencies on 8 June.
The Conservatives are hoping to take seats from Labour in areas which voted to leave the EU, including the Midlands, the north-east and north-west of England and across Wales, with a message that it is implementing the will of the people expressed in last year's vote.
Labour has been criticised by, among others, former prime minister Tony Blair, for what he says is a lack of clarity in its approach to Brexit.
Unlike the Lib Dems, it has ruled out a second referendum, but suggested Parliament could stop a so-called "hard Brexit".
In Labour's first major policy statement on the issue of the election campaign, the party is signalling that it would take a different approach to the two-year process of negotiating the EU's exit - expected to start in earnest in June.
It would scrap Theresa May's Brexit plan - outlined in a White Paper in February - which envisages leaving the single market and customs union.
Instead, it will focus on delivering a deal which "retains the benefits" of single market and customs union membership.
On immigration, a Labour government would on its first day in office guarantee the legal status of the three million EU nationals living in the UK to correct what it says is a "shameful injustice".
It would then press for reciprocal guarantees for the 1.2 million Britons living on the continent.
In a further break from the government's policy, Labour says leaving the EU without a deal would not be a "viable option" - although it is not clear whether its promise of a "truly meaningful" vote in Parliament on the final deal would amount to a potential veto.
In addition, it would replace the government's proposed Great Repeal Bill - which would scrap the 1972 European Communities Act and transpose the myriad of existing EU law applying to the UK into domestic law - with an EU Rights and Protections Bill.
It insists there can be no "rolling back" of workplace protections, environmental standards and consumer rights acquired through EU membership and the Bill will not include any measures to limit the lifespan of laws or directives, such as sunset clauses.
"This will make sure that all EU-derived laws are fully protected without qualifications or limitations," Sir Keir Starmer will say.
"A Labour government will never consider these rights a burden."
Labour would negotiate with the remaining 27 EU members in the interests "of the many, not the few", he will claim.
"We will approach negotiations in a completely different way to a Tory Brexit.
"We will scrap the government's Brexit White Paper and replace it with fresh negotiating priorities that reflect Labour values.
"The White Paper will have a strong emphasis on retaining the benefits of the single market and customs union, as Labour knows that is vital to protecting jobs and the economy."
Labour has previously set out six tests for a successful Brexit - including maintaining a strong, collaborative relationship with the EU, protecting security co-operation, delivering for the whole of the UK and introducing a fair immigration system.
In response, the Conservatives said Jeremy Corbyn was a "weak leader of a divided party who could not get the right deal for the UK".
"We have a clear plan for the Brexit negotiations, and every vote for Theresa May will strengthen her hand in those negotiations to get a good deal for the UK," said MP and former minister Dominic Raab.
"Only Theresa May and the Conservatives can provide the strong and stable leadership the United Kingdom needs to see us through Brexit and beyond."
In a fresh intervention on Tuesday, Mr Blair said the Conservatives' position on Brexit must be "turned against them".
Writing in the Guardian, he warned Mr Corbyn "this is not the time to fight a conventional partisan election". | Labour say they would scrap Theresa May's Brexit plans and unilaterally guarantee the rights of EU residents before talks start, if they win power. | 39,698,465 | 1,011 | 33 | false |
Susan and Christopher Edwards were found guilty of shooting dead Patricia and William Wycherley and burying them at the Wycherleys' home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, in 1998.
The bodies lay undiscovered until October last year.
They were each given a minimum 25-year sentence at Nottingham Crown Court.
The court heard the couple shot their victims at their home on the May Day Bank Holiday, then buried Mr and Mrs Wycherley in a metre-deep hole in their own back garden.
Over the next 15 years, they stole a total of £245,000 from the Wycherleys by siphoning off their pensions, benefits and selling their home.
A large amount of the stolen money was spent on Hollywood memorabilia, including autographs and photographs of movie star Gary Cooper and a £20,000 signed photograph of Frank Sinatra.
The debt-ridden pair gave themselves up in France in October.
Mrs Justice Thirlwall described the killings as "shocking crimes". She told them that, as far as they were concerned "only the two of you mattered".
She told Susan Edwards, 56, who sat in the dock wearing a patterned grey cardigan and glasses, she was "an accomplished liar and a fantasist".
"In May of 1998 the two of you planned to shoot and kill them in their own home and that is what you did," she said.
"Mr Wycherley was 86, Mrs Wycherley was nearly 64," she said.
"They were living a quiet, reclusive life in Mansfield. They knew no-one. They had as little contact as possible with other people. You knew they wouldn't be missed, if they disappeared and they weren't."
The judge accepted "on balance" Edwards had told the truth about being sexually abused by Mr Wycherley as a child and that had formed the basis of the hatred she felt for her father.
Susan Edwards's barrister David Howker QC described her abuse at her father's hands as "an ongoing feature" of her life "that created in her, some would say, the justifiable hatred of him and would be akin to a slow-burning, festering provocation that may explain in some way some part of why it happened".
Mrs Justice Thirlwall suggested another motive for the killings - that Susan Edwards had felt she was owed money after she invested an inheritance into her parents' London home in 1979.
She claimed she was later "emotionally blackmailed" into signing over full title of the house to her parents, who sold the property for profit without sharing the proceeds with their daughter.
The judge added she believed Christopher Edwards, who had an interest in military history, "held the gun" and shot the pensioners - not Susan Edwards, as the couple claimed.
Dafydd Enoch QC, representing Christopher Edwards, said: "They lived for each other and they retired into a world of autograph hunting - they are not ordinary folk."
"He could not help but be drawn in and I don't mean that to shift the blame in any way to Mrs Edwards," he added.
The judge said the facts of the case were "so serious and your culpability so high" she had no choice but impose minimum terms of 25 years each.
Neither defendant appeared to react as they were jailed.
Both denied murder but a jury unanimously found them guilty on Friday after a two-week trial.
Speaking outside court, Det Ch Insp Rob Griffin of East Midlands Major Crime Unit said the couple were "emotionless" throughout the trial.
He said the Wycherleys' family could see this "as an end".
"It's been a long and tough journey for them from the minute we had to approach them to tell them their relatives were buried in the back garden for all that time to see several months on, the people who are responsible for that brought to justice, gives them some comfort."
The current occupier of the house in Blenheim Close Sue Bramley has said, despite the bodies being found in her back garden, she and her teenage daughter were determined to stay in their "happy" home.
Toby Fisher, one of the first three barristers appointed to the inquiry, said he wanted to stand down in August.
It is understood he was concerned by the inquiry's "progress and direction" and was not otherwise planning on leaving.
A spokesman for the inquiry would not comment on specifics and Mr Fisher declined to comment.
Mr Fisher had served as first junior counsel - the joint-second most senior barrister on the inquiry - and previously worked on two of the inquiry's most high profile investigations - into Lord Janner and alleged abuse in Westminster.
He notified the inquiry of his intention to step down more than two months ago.
Mr Fisher's decision to leave came about a fortnight after the departure of the inquiry's third chair, Dame Lowell Goddard and days after Newsnight disclosed the inquiry had been told of an alleged sexual assault by the inquiry's lead counsel, Ben Emmerson QC.
The alleged victim did not wish to complain about her claim that Mr Emmerson groped her in a lift, but the inquiry has been criticised for failing to investigate wider concerns about Mr Emmerson's behaviour and for allowing him to step down but continue working for two months on £1,700 per day.
The BBC understands that Matrix, the set of chambers to which Mr Emmerson belongs, has launched its own independent inquiry into the allegations, to be carried out by an external figure.
Mr Emmerson categorically denies sexual assault, bullying or other misconduct.
The inquiry has denied that either Prof Alexis Jay, who was appointed in August as the fourth head of the child sex abuse inquiry, or the panel received any complaint about an alleged sexual assault, however they have declined to comment on whether an alleged incident was disclosed to them.
'Stop knocking inquiry'
On Monday, Labour MP Lisa Nandy asked Home Secretary Amber Rudd about the inquiry's handling of the disclosure of the alleged sexual assault.
Ms Rudd said it was a question for the head of the independent inquiry, adding: "I would urge [Ms Nandy] to stop knocking the inquiry and get behind it."
The troubled inquiry, launched by Theresa May when she was home secretary, has already seen the departure of three chairs as well as its most senior and second-ranking counsel.
Asked about Mr Fisher's departure, a spokesman for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse said the inquiry had "a large legal team comprising a number of junior counsel, senior counsel and solicitors".
"They come and go subject to their professional obligations and we are not commenting on specifics," he added.
The spokesman for the inquiry added that Toby Fisher remains instructed by the inquiry. However, the BBC understands that this is to allow Mr Fisher to answer any queries that arise related to his previous work.

Selby's IBF featherweight world title defence against Jonathan Victor Barros in Las Vegas was called off on Friday.
The Welshman has said Carl Frampton and Abner Mares, the regular WBA champion, could be future opponents.
"Selby's not really had that one big fight which can make him that name," Khan told BBC Wales Sport.
"I think beating someone like Abner Mares or someone like [Leo] Santa Cruz or Frampton would definitely take him to a different level.
"They're big names in the world of boxing and [some] have titles so, definitely by beating one of those big names, Selby would be right up there.
"I think Selby has the talent to do it. He's a prospect to keep an eye on in the future."
Selby's third defence of his IBF world title was meant to take place on the undercard of Frampton's WBA featherweight title bout with Mexico's Leo Santa Cruz at the MGM Grand.
If he had beaten Barros, Selby was planning to challenge Frampton - with the Northern Irishman saying he would like the fight to take place at Belfast's Windsor Park.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The abandonment of Selby's fight against Barros could delay those plans but, whenever it may happen, it is a fight Khan would like to see materialise.
"I like Selby. Selby is a very good fighter. He's a world champion himself, having that IBF title," the 2004 Olympic lightweight silver medallist added.
"The fight between Santa Cruz and Frampton is for a world title so unifying it and to have it [a Selby-Frampton fight] in the UK would be massive.
"Two British fighters fighting for two world titles in the same division would be huge. I think that could happen in the future."
The featherweight division is one of boxing's most competitive and open at the moment, and a bout between Selby and three-time world champion Mares would also excite Khan.
"It makes sense. Us fighters will fight anyone, whoever they put us in front of," he said.
"I think that Abner - I know him, I've trained with him - is a good fighter. I think that would be a good fight for Abner to have.
"And the winner of that could go on and fight the winner of the Frampton fight."
Bell made 167, sharing century stands with Gary Ballance and debutant Jos Buttler, who dazzled on the way to 85 from 83 balls.
When Buttler fell, England declared on 569-7, leaving India 14 overs to bat at the end of the day.
In that time, James Anderson removed Shikhar Dhawan to leave the tourists 25-1 and in severe danger of surrendering the 1-0 series lead they earned with victory in the second Test at Lord's.
Bell, like England captain Alastair Cook, was badly in need of a score after passing 50 only four times in his previous 19 Test innings.
That lean spell, going back to his last century in the fourth Test of the 2013 Ashes, had yielded just 476 runs at an average of 26.44.
But, after Cook scored 95 on day one, Bell, who should have been given out lbw to Pankaj Singh on nought, cashed in to deliver a 21st Test ton.
Resuming on 16, the Warwickshire man scored all around the wicket on a good batting surface, showing deft touch to play his trademark late cut and dishing out some heavy treatment to Ravindra Jadeja.
Three times, he danced down the track to loft the left-arm spinner for a straight six, the second of which brought up his century.
Bell's fluency was matched in the morning session by Ballance, who moved his first-day hundred on to 156.
With the left-hander guiding to third man and clipping through the leg side, his dismissal came out of nothing in that it was both a surprise and a poor decision by umpire Rod Tucker.
Ballance was given out caught behind off Rohit Sharma when the ball had missed the bat and hit his back leg, with England gaining some consolation from the fact that the part-time off-spinner was able to find exaggerated turn and bounce.
India, using their pace trio of Pankaj, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami in one-over spells, did check England with the wickets of Joe Root and Moeen Ali in the afternoon session.
Root, perhaps frustrated after scoring only three from 43 balls, advanced to edge Kumar behind, while Moeen again fell to the short ball, toe-ending a hook off the same bowler to second slip.
The visitors will also feel that they should have had Buttler without scoring when the wicketkeeper, making his Test bow in place of Matt Prior, prodded Kumar to second slip.
With the ball going low to Ajinkya Rahane, the on-field umpires could not confirm it had carried and Buttler was reprieved when replays proved inconclusive.
He scored his first Test runs from the next delivery and, after tea, took advantage of being dropped on 23 by Dhawan at first slip off Shami, producing the sort of strokeplay that brought him the fastest ever one-day international hundred by an England batsman against Sri Lanka in May.
Following Bell's example by hitting Jadeja straight, Buttler also reverse-swept the spinner for four on the way to a maiden half-century.
After Bell holed out to mid-on off Kumar, Buttler opened his shoulders and received yet another let-off when Mahendra Dhoni missed a simple stumping off Jadeja. Twice Pankaj was belted for six to raise hopes of a debut hundred.
But a slog at Jadeja was edged onto the stumps, immediately prompting Cook to declare and leaving the India openers the task of repelling the new ball in the gathering gloom.
It was one that was beyond them as Anderson, from round the wicket, produced a beauty that had Dhawan fencing to Cook at first slip.
One of Asia's most authoritarian leaders, Mr Karimov, 78, died after 27 years in power.
Mr Karimov has no clear successor. There is no legal political opposition and the media are tightly controlled.
He will be buried on Saturday in his home city of Samarkand and three days of mourning will be observed.
A UN report has described the use of torture under Mr Karimov as "systematic".
The late leader often justified his strong-arm tactics by highlighting the danger from Islamist militancy in the mainly Muslim country, which borders Afghanistan.
Expressing his condolences in a statement (in Russian), Russian President Vladimir Putin described him as a statesman "who had contributed to the security and stability of Central Asia" and who would be a "great loss for the people of Uzbekistan".
News of Mr Karimov's death was finally confirmed after several foreign leaders and diplomatic sources reported it on Friday.
"Dear compatriots, it is with an immense pain in our hearts that we inform you of the death of our dear president," a state TV presenter was quoted as saying by AFP news agency.
One of Mr Karimov's daughters, Lola Karimova-Tillyaeva, posted a black square on Instagram with the words: "He left us... I choose my words and cannot believe it myself..."
Uzbek Prime Minister Shavkat Mirziyoyev will oversee the funeral, it was announced.
Mr Mirziyoyev, in office since 2003, has been tipped by observers as a likely successor and his deputy, Rustam Azimov, is also seen as a key player.
Senate leader Nigmatilla Yuldoshev, who has become acting president under the constitution, is unlikely to fill the role more permanently, analysts say.
Earlier, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim broke news of the death at a televised meeting of his cabinet.
Reports from diplomatic sources suggested several regional leaders were making plans to visit Samarkand for the funeral.
Some human rights groups say the Uzbek government is one of the most repressive in the world, notably after a crackdown in the eastern city of Andijan in 2005, when hundreds were killed.
Mr Karimov's followers argue that curbs on freedom are a small price to pay for law and order.
"Yes of course, it's a price for stability, because we see what is happening now in Syria, in Iraq, in Yemen, in Afghanistan and even in Europe - you cannot defend yourself from the terrorist attacks," Sherzod Igamberdiev, a lawyer in Tashkent, told BBC News.

"If you put all your efforts into stopping terrorism, you will have criticism, but we live here, we know the situation on the inside, we are satisfied with him, we love him."
Uzbekistan was long one of Russia's strongest allies among other former Soviet states but strains appeared in recent years, notably when Tashkent suspended its membership of a Russian-led military alliance, the Collective Security Treaty Organisation.
Analysts say Mr Karimov has played Russia, China and the West against each other to keep Uzbekistan from total isolation and to receive limited US aid. In 2014, Russia wrote off most of Uzbekistan's foreign debt to Moscow, forgiving $865m.
Danny Swanson moments earlier wasted a great chance after Andrew Davies blundered, hitting the side netting.
It was Swanson's corner though, met by Joe Shaughnessy, which fell perfectly for MacLean to slot home from inside the six-yard box.
Davies went close late on with a header that might have stolen a point.
With Motherwell facing a tough trip to Aberdeen, both sides knew a positive result could move them into fourth.
Neither side seemed particularly motivated by that in the opening exchanges in a flat encounter offering little excitement.
Swanson was first to threaten when he stole possession from Marcus Fraser and released Graham Cummins into the box on the right-hand side.
The big striker had to pause slightly waiting for the ball to arrive, which gave Paul Quinn the chance to slide in and superbly block his shot with goalkeeper Scott Fox looking exposed.
Play was pedestrian with a final ball or spark of energy lacking, particularly from the home side who seemed unusually off the pace.
Saints midfielder Chris Millar's frustrating injury woes continued when he had to hobble off before half-time, Scott Brown replacing him.
Liam Craig tried to change the complexion of the game with a powerful strike from distance but a slight deflection did not take it away from Fox's grasp.
A rare, but wonderful piece of invention allowed Swanson to escape two defenders but his clipped cross was nodded away just as the crowd thought a chance was on.
County manager Jim McIntyre could not have been happy with what he was watching and introduced Martin Woods in place of Ian McShane. It had little effect.
Liam Boyce began to emerge in the game with two headers as County looked to get balls in from wide areas but nothing to overly stretch Zander Clark in goal.
Media playback is not supported on this device
However, a disastrous decision from Davies nearly handed St Johnstone the opener.
The defender had the chance to clear but bizarrely tried to shepherd the ball back to Fox. Cummins slid in, got the ball across and Swanson, with the goal gaping, was off target. A great chance wasted.
The goal arrived moments later from Swanson's corner, which was nodded down by Shaughnessy to MacLean, who did not hesitate to slot home.
The home side tried to respond when Jonathan Franks cut inside and fired a left-foot shot but Clark did well to hold with attackers closing in.
Davies then had a free header which he sent off target before Wotherspoon denied County's Brian Graham with a block.
But the hosts simply did not offer enough with Tommy Wright's side now in control of the chase to finish fourth.
A lawyer representing the County Tyrone schoolgirl's family said they were struggling to explain why the case had effectively ground to a halt.
Fifteen-year-old Arlene from Castlederg, vanished after a night out in 1994.
She was last seen with child killer Robert Howard, who died in 2015.
The family's lawyer said: "When there is inertia, that gives scope to the conspiracy theorists.
"We are facing yet another summer; yet another anniversary, and locals are asking, 'What are they trying to hide?' The family is finding life very, very difficult.
"This inquest is crying out for closure".
Despite extensive searches, including a dig in Tyrone last year, her body has never been found.
The case has been stalled for months to facilitate the sharing of information from legal authorities in the Republic of Ireland.
The material includes papers on the lines of inquiry pursued by An Garda Siochana (Irish police), searches carried out south of the border, and a purported meeting between Gardai and the former girlfriend of Robert Howard.
Garda officers may also be asked to give oral evidence.
The Arkinson family were not in court for the hearing but their barrister said they would attend in June.
During a preliminary hearing at Belfast's Laganside Court, it emerged that the Chief State Solicitor's Office in Dublin had requested further clarification on the court's requirements.
The judge presiding over the long-running inquest, urged the Irish authorities to urgently deal with the case.
"It would be useful if the family were here on the next occasion so I can spell out what my reasons are for the decisions that have been made in recent months.
"But, I sincerely hope that we do not need to do so, because we will have the information that is being sought.
"None of this should reflect in any way on the family. There is no concern in my mind regarding that.
"It is necessary for this court to have information that seems to be in the hands of An Garda Siochana."
The inquest has been adjourned until June.
Speaking afterwards from her home in Castlederg, Arlene's sister Kathleen said the stress of the case had taken its toll.
"I feel like my life is on hold but we are not going to give up our hope of getting justice for Arlene," she said.
Howard was acquitted of the teenager's murder by a jury that was unaware of his previous conviction for murdering 14-year-old Hannah Williams, whose body was found in an industrial area close to the Thames Estuary.
Howard always remained the prime suspect in the Arkinson case.
The child will be starting a new school in September wearing a boy's uniform.
Speaking to Radio Ulster's Nolan show, he said it was "difficult growing up being trapped in the wrong body".
His mother said she "wasn't shocked" by the revelation and has supported his decision.
The child told Stephen Nolan that he has "always known he was a boy", found wearing dresses "horrible" and feels much happier now that he has opened up about it.
"I couldn't take it any longer so I had to come out," he said.
"I was crying at night, crying myself to sleep - it was just horrible.
"I told my mum, 'I'm transgender. I want to be a boy. I'm not a girl. Please accept me'."
The 11-year-old's mother said the decision did not come as too much of a surprise as her son had been "having a bit of trouble with identity and sexuality".
"I just reassured him that everything would be ok and I would always be there for him," she said.
"It doesn't make him any less my child."
She said, however, that she is "constantly worried" at how other children will react and has also experienced comments from adults that he is "too young for this".
"I have come up against it but in this day and age, children are becoming more aware of their feelings at a younger age. Who am I to argue at what's going on in his head?" she asked.
The child's mother said she did find the recent change of name and pronouns difficult.
"I've had a daughter for 12 years and now I've got to think on him as a son. So it's a wee bit like a grieving process if you like."
Her son will be beginning his new school in a few weeks and he said he is starting off with a positive attitude.
"Even though there are going to be those people who can't accept it, I'm still excited to make new friends".
The Malaysia Airlines passenger plane crashed in July 2014, with the loss of all 298 people on board.
It had been flying over territory held by pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine when it was hit.
Separatist leaders have denied accusations they used an anti-aircraft missile to shoot down the plane.
New Zealand's UN ambassador Gerard van Bohemen, president of the UN Security Council for July, said Malaysia had "briefed the council members this morning of their intention to present a resolution in relation to MH17".
"They are seeking to find a mechanism to deal with criminal accountability in relation to the downing of the aircraft."
He added that the move was a joint proposal by Malaysia, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium and Ukraine.
Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov has called the plan "not timely and counterproductive," according to AFP news agency.

Dutch reporter who tried to solve MH17 crime
Unnamed diplomats told Reuters that Russia had described the proposal as premature.
They told the news agency that Russia believed that the council should wait for the results of the ongoing investigations.
Most of the passengers on the flight were Dutch, but there were also Malaysians, Australians and Britons on board, among others.
The Netherlands is currently leading a multinational investigation but Russian investigators have also been looking into the crash.
Russia has denied accusations that it supplied the rebels in Ukraine with an anti-aircraft missile that was used to shoot down the plane.
The country has claimed that it was Ukrainian forces, not the rebels, that brought down flight MH17.
A preliminary Dutch report said the plane broke up after being penetrated by "high-velocity objects".
A restored print of Sleigh Bells (1928) will have its world premiere at the BFI in London in next month.
The BFI says the re-discovery of the "long-lost" six-minute film in its archive is a "joyful treat".
Other Oswald films survive but Sleigh Bells has been unseen since its original release.
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was invented by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks for Universal in 1927 before they went on to create Mickey Mouse.
The only surviving print of Sleigh Bells was preserved in the BFI National Archive and was "re-discovered" by a researcher browsing its online catalogue.
The restoration work was carried out by Walt Disney Animation Studios and the new print will be shown at BFI Southbank on 12 December as part of a programme of Disney Christmas shorts.
"What a joyful treat to discover a long-lost Walt Disney film in the BFI National Archive and to be able to show Sleigh Bells to a whole new audience 87 years after it was made," said Robin Baker, head curator at the BFI National Archive.
"The restoration of this film will introduce many audiences to Disney's work in the silent period - it clearly demonstrates the vitality and imagination of his animation at a key point in his early career."
Andrew Millstein, president of Walt Disney Animation Studios, which oversaw the restoration, said the Oswald shorts were an important part of Disney history.
"We have been working with film archives and private collectors all around the world to research the missing titles."
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said it would manage Pen Y Maes surgery in Summerhill if another team of GPs does not take it over in October.
No reasons have been given for the contract termination.
The Pendyffryn Medical Group in Prestatyn terminated its contract in September citing a failure to recruit new doctors.
In December, a GP in nearby Rhuddlan terminated her contract, blaming the challenges and pressures of growing demands.
The health board will run the practices from April.
It is currently managing two other practices in Blaenau Ffestiniog in Gwynedd, and Wrexham's Beechley Medical Centre.
Australian Irvine, 23, featured in County's three league games last month, which included a win and a draw.
He also helped the Dingwall side win the Scottish League Cup final against Hibernian and featured in the Scottish Cup defeat by Dundee United.
Irvine joined County on loan from Celtic in 2014 and signed a two-year deal with the Highlanders last year.
He will leave the programme at the end of March, with guest presenters being used from April.
Martin said he was looking forward to working on new projects - and having a lie-in on Saturday mornings.
BBC Daytime controller Dan McGolpin thanked Martin and said it was "an exciting opportunity" to have new chefs presenting the show.
Martin said: "I would like to personally thank all the viewers for turning Saturday Kitchen into a three million-plus smash hit.
"I could not have done it without them. I would also like to thank the BBC and Saturday Kitchen for the great opportunity they gave me.
"It has been an amazing journey and I have been privileged to work with some of the world's greatest chefs and some of the greatest names in showbiz. I wish the new chefs every success.
"I am looking forward to getting stuck into my new projects and to lots of lie-ins on a Saturday morning."
He also tweeted the announcement, saying it had been a "great pleasure" to work on Saturday Kitchen.
The show sees Martin ask celebrity guests for their 'food heaven' and 'food hell' - to have one of the dishes, voted for by viewers, cooked at the end of the programme.
It also sees chefs compete against each other in the omelette challenge - creating a three-egg omelette in the fastest time.
Martin took over from Antony Worrall Thompson as host when he joined the show in 2006.
McGolpin said: "On behalf of our viewers, I'd like to thank James for the last 10 years in which he has given up his Saturday mornings and more to help make Saturday Kitchen into the much loved institution that it is today.
"James works extremely hard, not just on TV but across all of the other things that he does, I can understand his decision to concentrate on other things and I think we'll see him back on the BBC before long."
He said the show would "continue to ease millions of viewers into their weekends".
Martin will still be seen on Saturday Kitchen Best Bites, which airs on BBC Two on Sunday mornings.
Their manager informed them he had secured a recording contract with a subsidiary of EMI Records, and they should return home for their initial recording session.
It wasn't true.
In fact, all Brian Epstein had secured was an audition with producer George Martin who was, at that time, best known for making comedy records with Peter Sellers and Bernard Cribbins.
Furthermore, Martin himself was sceptical of the band's chances.
"I wasn't too impressed with the tape Brian Epstein had played me," he told Desert Island Discs in 1996. "There was something there but I couldn't find out whether it was worthwhile or not.
"What I said to Brian was, 'if you want me to judge them on what you're playing me, I'm sorry, I'll have to turn you down.'
"He was so disappointed. I felt really sorry for him, actually because he was such an earnest young man. So I gave him a lifeline. I said, 'If you want to bring them down from Liverpool, I'll give them an hour in the studio.'"
The band duly set up in Studio Three at Abbey Road on the afternoon of 6 June, 1962 but their road-worn instruments initially caused some problems. Worst of all was Paul McCartney's amp, which was distorting so badly that engineers had to wheel up a vast replacement speaker from EMI's echo chamber.
"I got nothing out of The Beatles' equipment except for a load of noise, hum and goodness-knows-what," engineer Norman Smith later told Sound On Sound.
Problems solved, the band launched into their first song - a cover of Consuelo Velazquez's bolero ballad Besame Mucho (Kiss Me A Lot) - at around 19:00.
It failed to impress.
"I remember Martin taking a quick look at them and leaving for tea," said sound engineer Ken Townsend.
But when the band launched into their next track, Lennon and McCartney's Love Me Do, tape engineer Chris Neal was sent scurrying down to the Abbey Road canteen to grab his boss.
He arrived and took over the session, although he was still unconvinced.
"I thought their music was rubbish," he told the BBC's Arena programme in 2011.
"I couldn't really make out for myself what I was listening for - because I was so conditioned to [hearing] a solo singer with a backing group. But here I had four people who were all doing all sorts of things.
"It wasn't Cliff Richard and the Shadows, that's for sure."
The band went on to record two more numbers - P.S. I Love You and Ask Me Why - before the session ended around 22:00.
Martin invited the band back to the control room and explained, at great length, where he felt they were going wrong.
"We gave them a long lecture about their equipment and what would have to be done about it if they were to become recording artists," recalled Norman Smith.
In particular, Martin focused on Pete Best's drumming, explaining that what worked on stage at Liverpool's Cavern Club wasn't appropriate in the studio.
Best was sacked and replaced by Ringo Starr as a result (although even he wasn't permitted to play on the later, finished version of Love Me Do - that was done by Scots session drummer Andy White, who died last year).
Best's mother was furious, and phoned Martin to complain. She later told Liverpudlian journalist Bill Harry (who covered The Beatles' rise to fame for the Mersey Beat newspaper) that the producer had been taken aback by the band's decision.
"I never suggested that Pete Best must go," she reported him as saying. "All I said was that, for the purposes of The Beatles' first record, I would rather use a session man. I never thought Brian Epstein would let him go. He seemed to be the most saleable commodity as far as looks went."
Back at Abbey Road, Martin gave The Beatles the chance to respond to his dressing down. "I've laid into you for quite a long time," he said. "You haven't responded. Is there anything you don't like?"
"Well, for a start," replied George Harrison, "I don't like your tie."
The quip broke the ice and The Beatles relaxed into comedy mode.
"For the next 15 to 20 minutes they were pure entertainment," recalled Norman Smith. "I had tears running down my face."
Despite his misgivings, Martin eventually decided The Beatles had "the potential to make a hit record" and gave them a recording deal on 6 June (backdated by two days so as to secure copyright to the recording session).
He later admitted it was their "tremendous charisma" rather than their music that won him over.
"When you are with them, you are all the better for being with them and when they leave you feel a loss," he told Sue Lawley.
"I fell in love with them. It's as simple as that."
Mr Sharif said the move was meant as a gesture of goodwill.
Pakistan shut the crossings last month after a spate of attacks it blamed on militants from over the border.
Thousands of people were stranded on both sides. The two countries have long blamed each other for not doing enough to tackle militants.
Earlier this month, Pakistan opened the crossings at Torkham and Chaman for two days amid rising concerns that continued closure could develop into a humanitarian crisis.
About 50,000 Afghans took advantage of the move and crossed back into their country.
About 6,000 or 7,000 Pakistanis travelled the other way.
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says that by keeping the crossings shut for a month Mr Sharif will by now feel that he has made his point. He was also facing mounting pressure from traders frustrated by the closures.
Despite Mr Sharif's order, the crossings remained shut for much of Monday. The measure was expected to take effect later in the day or early on Tuesday, our correspondent said.
Scottish government statistics revealed that production increased by more than a fifth in 2015-16.
However, the sales value of oil and gas dropped by £4.1bn on the previous year, to £13.4bn.
Economy secretary Keith Brown said the report showed the industry was adapting to low prices.
The Scottish Conservatives said the increase in production coincided with "significant" tax breaks introduced by the UK government.
Prices have dropped to below US$50 (£37) a barrel, compared to the high point of US$147 (£111) in July 2008.
Total sales value of Scottish North Sea oil and gas has dropped £10bn since 2013-14, when sales income amounted to £23.8bn.
It compares to a high point of £29.5bn in 2008-09.
The report also reveals the first increase in oil production in 13 years.
Other findings of the Oil and Gas Production Statistics include:
These numbers confirm what you should expect with a lot of investment - more output.
The capital spending boom in the offshore industry over recent years, which was at full pelt before the price tanked, is paying off with a big increase in production.
Not for the first time, there's lots flowing when the price is low and sticky. Unfortunately for producers, the North Sea is no place to turn off the taps until the price rises again.
What these numbers don't tell us is what profits are made, and therefore what tax can be expected to come from this. That's often the prism through which offshore oil and gas production is seen.
But in 2015-16, operating expenses plus capital expenditure equalled £16.9bn, with sales of £13.4bn. That doesn't suggest healthy profit, or tax on it.
Also while the one-year figures look strong in production, you can see longer term patterns from this data set. Seventeen years ago, output of oil and gas from Scottish waters was at 185m tonnes, falling to 58m in 2014-15, and up to 70m last year.
The volume of crude oil pumped from under the seabed in Scottish waters is down 65%. Natural gas is down 60%. Gas output is down more in English waters, where gas accounts for 40% of UK production.
The economy secretary said: "Although this remains a difficult time for the industry and its workforce, it is encouraging to note this increase in production as the industry adapts to the current period of low prices."
The government "continues to do all that it can" to support the industry, he added, and a taskforce set up to support jobs in the energy sector is due to meet in Aberdeen for the 11th time later.
Earlier this year, a report by Oil & Gas UK predicted that the number of jobs lost as a result of the downturn in the sector could top 120,000 by the end of 2016.
Mr Brown said: "Our support also includes £24.5m for increased innovation and business-support measures and the £12m Transition Training Fund, which offers grants to individuals to support their redeployment through retraining or further education.
"We will also maintain pressure on the Treasury to honour promises made in last March's budget to use the UK Guarantees Scheme for oil and gas infrastructure to help secure new investment in assets of strategic importance.
"The Scottish government strongly believes that the North Sea oil and gas sector can have a bright future for years to come. This, however, will continue to require a concerted effort from all stakeholders."
Murdo Fraser, the Scottish Conservatives' finance spokesman, said the increase in oil and gas production coincided with "significant" tax breaks introduced by the UK government last year.
"We are now seeing that tactic work, as production rose directly after the measures were introduced," he said.
"Of course much more needs to be done, and these breaks ought to continue having a beneficial impact on the North Sea.
"However, with prices remaining low across the globe, it is an industry which remains under immense pressure. Fortunately, the strength of the UK economy is able to absorb this nosedive, meaning public spending can be protected."
Scottish Labour's economy spokeswoman, Jackie Baillie, claimed the Scottish government had "ignored the crisis in the oil and gas industry for months because ot was politically embarrassing for them."
She added: Rather than brush these problems under the carpet, the SNP needs to confront the reality of these figures.
"The SNP government should commission an urgent review of the measures to protect jobs and skills such as the transition training fund."
Eloise Burton-Cope, 33, admitted the manslaughter of her four-month-old son Leon, who died from head injuries.
At Birmingham Crown Court, Burton-Cope was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended for two years.
Her barrister, Jane Humphryes QC, said she had been "lost in a bureaucratic system short of funding... and passed from department to department".
Sentencing Burton-Cope, who lived at Glebe Road, Deanshanger, Northamptonshire, Mr Justice Haddon-Cave said "no-one should feel guilty about what happened".
The judge said it was "unfortunate" that her medical condition was not recognised at the time but "no-one is to blame", adding "it is very easy to be wise after the event".
The court heard that Burton-Cope, who had depression, called paramedics on 29 March 2014 after shaking her son.
Leon was taken to hospital with a fractured skull and brain damage. He died two days later.
Ms Humphryes said: "This was a distressed, tired, mentally ill lady. She was doing her best to look after her child and she panicked.
"There's nothing to suggest she didn't love and care for him.
"Her devastation is total and she will certainly never overcome that.
"She did seek help from medical professionals. She was lost in a bureaucratic system short of funding.
"She was passed from department to department, each one thinking the other was looking after her. There was no proper plan."
Ms Humphryes added: "She will have to live with these tragic events for the rest of her life."
Leon had been "crying for four days" and would not feed properly, the court heard.
Burton-Cope, who now lives in Milton Keynes, suffered bouts of "psychotic behaviour" and had been "hearing voices".
She was last seen by a health visitor on 22 January 2014 and no concerns were raised, the court heard.
Burton-Cope, whose not guilty plea to murder was accepted by the prosecution, admitted manslaughter in June.
The day is being marked with parades, speeches and special events.
It is held on 8 March every year and also aims to highlight the importance of men and women being equal.

Rosco, a nine-month-old Border Terrier, was taken from outside 82-year-old owner Leonard Ormond's Napier Drive home.
Almost two million people visited a Facebook page appealing for the pet's safe return.
Mr Ormond's son Gordon said his father was "ecstatic" at the news.
He said: "I'm going to pick him up tomorrow, but we don't want to give out his location because we don't want someone else getting him.
"But it's confirmed. We got his microchip checked and it is Rosco.
"Obviously, it's been a pretty traumatic month."
Police issued an appeal to trace two men in a grey Ford Transit van after Rosco was taken from the pensioner's garden on 15 August.
Mr Ormond said the response on social media to help find Rosco had been "incredible".
He said: "It's amazing really, two million people reached.
"We always hoped we would get him back.
"Social media has been an active power for good in this case."
John Simons, who had been caught in the terrace crush, helped move casualties from the front of an enclosure.
He gave evidence as the new inquests focussed on the death of Barry Glover.
The 27-year-old greengrocer was one of 96 Liverpool fans fatally crushed at the FA Cup semi-final on 15 April 1989.
Mr Simons had been inside pen three on the Leppings Lane terraces at Hillsborough.
He told the jury that while he had not received any first aid training, he tried to help as the disaster unfolded at the Sheffield stadium.
He said: "Everything had gone to pieces. There was nobody to organise at all."
The jury saw footage of Mr Simons helping to move 16-year-old Kester Ball, another of those who died, from a pile of casualties at the front of pen three.
He added: "The stack of bodies was about eight to 10 people high. There were people moving in the pile of bodies."
Mr Simons said he helped move people towards the back of the enclosure.
After leaving the pen he came across Mr Glover, from Bury, Greater Manchester, on the pitch near the Leppings Lane end goal.
He had gone to the match with three friends.
One of them, Peter Rodgers described how they were "more or less carried" into the stadium by a "rush" of fans through an exit gate that had been opened.
Mr Rodgers said he believed the group made it on to the terraces at around 14:55 BST.
He said as soon as they entered pen three there was a "terrific surge" that pushed them towards the front.
He told the court he had "never seen anything like it" and agreed his movements inside the pen were "involuntary".
Mr Rodgers said the surge separated him from Mr Glover and he never saw him again. He did not hear that Mr Glover had died until a friend told him the next day.
A barrister representing the coroner said that there was "no evidence about how Mr Glover was removed from the pen".
Mr Simons said he came across him "on his own on the pitch" near the Leppings Lane end goal.
He said a police officer performed a check on Mr Glover, stood up and shook his head.
Mr Simons said he covered Mr Glover's face and helped carry him to the opposite end of the pitch.
The jury heard how his aunt, Patricia Glover, and his father identified his body the following morning.
The inquests, sitting in Warrington, Cheshire, continue.
BBC News: Profiles of all those who died
The Welshman ended with a final round of 79 at Royal Troon.
The World number 79, who had failed to make the cut in his previous four competitions, struggled with the damp and windy conditions.
The 40-year-old will now turn his attention to the PGA Championship in Springfield, New Jersey on July 28-31.
Mr Russell, who wrote the films Shirley Valentine and Educating Rita - and musical Blood Brothers - gifted the documents to Liverpool John Moores.
He said creating the archive had given him a "much tidier office".
The documents will be held in the university's Special Collections and Archives and be made available online.
The archive, which includes manuscripts, programmes, newspaper cuttings and press releases, financial documents, correspondence and audition notes, offers a "comprehensive representation of Willy Russell's work to date", a university spokesman said.
Amongst the documents are items relating to early stage productions of Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine, which were both later turned into films, the former starring Julie Walters and Michael Caine and the latter Pauline Collins and Tom Conti.
Also included are casting and audition notes around productions of Olivier-winning musical Blood Brothers, which closed in October after spending 24 years in London's West End.
The 65-year-old playwright, who came to prominence in the 1970s through his association with the city's Everyman Theatre, said he was happy the archive would be held close to the venue.
"I have a quiet sense of something fitting in knowing that my manuscripts are housed in a building no more than a few yards from where most of them were written and first performed," he said.
He added that it had "always been my intention that if ever my papers and manuscripts were to be deposited, then it would be with a Liverpool institute".
Dean of the Faculty of Arts Roger Webster said he was pleased the university had been able "to acquire this archive through Willy Russell's generosity".
"It will undoubtedly attract and produce world-class scholarship and we hope to develop a number of research projects around it," he said.
The aquatic amusement park has struggled to attract visitors in the wake of a 2013 film, Blackfish, which criticised its treatment of killer whales.
SeaWorld acknowledged in August that the film had hurt revenues at its San Diego, California park.
The company's share price has fallen 44% this year, and now trades around $16 per share.
In a statement, SeaWorld said that current board chairman David F D'Alessandro would serve as interim chief executive, and that the firm would also continue with its plans to reorganise in order to save $50m by the end of 2015.
The company said that part of the restructuring would involve job cuts.
SeaWorld operates 11 theme parks globally.
In its most recent earnings report, it said attendance had dropped to 8.4 million visitors in the third-quarter of 2014 from 8.9 million in the same period a year earlier.
It attributed the decline to "a combination of factors including negative media attention in California along with a challenging competitive environment."
Care packages were reduced for 42% of the 662 who used to receive Independent Living Fund (ILF) payments after councils took over Whitehall's budgets.
In Merseyside, East Cheshire and Lancashire the cuts were 24% of 658, 22% of 147 and 8% of 366 respectively.
The Local Government Association (LGA) refused to comment on the figures and referred queries to specific councils.
The data was obtained by the BBC in a series of Freedom of Information requests.
Cheshire West and Chester Council did not respond to the BBC's request for information.
Jon Rouse, chief officer of the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership, said of the cuts in his region: "Local authorities were given this responsibility at a time when they were under huge financial pressure so unfortunately it is not a huge surprise to me."
But he added: "What I want to do on the back of the BBC's work is find out what happened to those people who lost their support. How are they coping and what lesson do we need to learn in terms of the use of resources?"
Mr Rouse also said last week's announcement in the Budget of more money for social care was good news,
"What we want to do is to ensure that local authorities prioritise people with disabilities and their carers," he added.
Debbie Abrahams, Labour's Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, said the cuts had left many disabled people at their "wits' end".
The Oldham East and Saddleworth MP said they had "borne the brunt" of government spending cuts and that the public would be "horrified" by the problem.
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said people are receiving "more personalised care" and that the majority are getting a similar level of support as they did before the change.
April Alton, from Offerton in Stockport, has a rare neurological disorder which leaves her unable to walk and needing help with basic tasks.
She said her weekly hours of care had been cut from 62 to 27.5.
"The Independent Living Fund meant that I had someone to take me to the park," she said. "I used to go to a gardening group there and I used to take my dog with me.
"I can't do any of that now because I haven't got anyone to support me. Even shopping, I can't go out on my own.
"My whole life has just stopped. Basically I'm just in my house all the time and my life revolves around the living room. Its left me isolated and I just want a normal life."
Stockport Council said the impact of its review of each person's needs was "considered very carefully".
The Independent Living Fund was set up in 1988 to allow severely disabled people to live in the community, rather than in residential care.
It went through various changes in its history and eligibility criteria were tightened as applications for it increased.
In 2010 the fund stopped taking new applicants and, despite protests and legal challenges, it was closed for existing users in 2015.
Money has now been devolved to councils who, instead of ring-fencing it, have chosen to add the cash into their overall social services budget.
This has meant that many disabled people have seen a reduction in the care they receive, while some others now get additional support.
The German's victory from pole position in a race punctuated by a violent crash for Renault's Kevin Magnussen reduces his points deficit to Hamilton to nine.
Magnussen was taken to hospital with an injury to his left ankle after a huge crash at 180mph at Raidillon.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was second, holding off a late Hamilton charge.
Hamilton started in 21st place on the grid, after a raft of engine penalties resulting from failures early in the season. His partner back there in probably the most talented back row in F1 history was his old rival Fernando Alonso, who used three engines this weekend.
The two made brilliant starts to the race to pass the pits for the first time with Alonso in 11th and Hamilton 13th, helped by a chaotic first lap ahead of them.
A concertina accident between the two Ferraris and Max Verstappen's Red Bull left all three with damage at the first corner and dropped them down the field - and further back McLaren's Jenson Button was taken out when Manor's Pascal Wehrlein smashed up his rear at Les Combes.
Starting on the medium tyres, Alonso and Hamilton moved up as others stopped in front of them on their softer rubber and were in fourth and fifth on lap eight, when Magnussen lost control through the final part of the Eau Rouge swerves.
The Renault spun and smashed into the barriers on the outside of the track, the Dane's cockpit head protection material flying out of the car in the violence of the impact.
He limped away from the accident but an investigation at the medical centre showed him to have an injury and he was taken to hospital.
Magnussen later tweeted that he was on his way home with a sore ankle and would be fine to compete in next weekend's Italian Grand Prix.
The accident destroyed the barriers at one of the most dangerous parts of the track and the race was red-flagged after two laps behind the safety car to give marshals time to repair them.
The red flag reset the race, with everyone allowed to change tyres, and it appeared as though Hamilton might now have the chance of an unlikely victory.
But although he quickly passed Alonso's under-powered McLaren-Honda, it took him until lap 18 of 44 to find a way past the similarly Mercedes-powered Force India of Nico Hulkenberg.
Three laps later, Mercedes brought him in for a new set of tyres, putting him out of sync with those around him and on a different strategy, the idea being to try to attack Ricciardo on fresher tyres in the closing laps.
Hamilton closed up on Ricciardo before his final stop on lap 32 but was unable to pass him and rejoined between Hulkenberg and his team-mate Sergio Perez.
That left Hamilton too much to do to try to catch Ricciardo, who was able to control the gap to the end.
Nevertheless, Hamilton was pleased to have limited the damage to his title bid as he expected to find it difficult to get into the top 10 and score points in this race.
Rosberg, meanwhile, delivered what he needed to do on a weekend that was less of an open goal than it might have appeared because of the difficulties caused by fragile tyres, influenced by what many unhappy drivers felt were "ridiculously" high pressures.
"Daniel was quite quick in the beginning of the second stint, but generally I had it under control," said Rosberg. "The car was awesome and Lewis was not there to battle it out."
Alonso fought as well as he could in the McLaren, whose Honda engine is well down on power compared with the rest.
He hung on to Hulkenberg until their final stops, made together, and McLaren worked wonders to have them out of their boxes side-by-side, Hulkenberg just holding on at the exit.
Alonso was vulnerable to cars coming from behind him and was literally powerless to fend off Perez and a recovering Vettel but managed to hold on to seventh place ahead of Williams' Valtteri Bottas and Raikkonen.
The Finn was angered by the defensive driving of Verstappen early in the race, swearing on the radio in the latest of a series of spats between the oldest and youngest drivers in F1 this year.
The Dutchman finished 11th, a disappointment for the 20,000 fans who had come from his native country to cheer him on.
His failure to convert a front-row start into a strong finish was a direct result of the first-corner crash.
It happened as Verstappen tried to recover from a bad getaway to dive back down the inside of Raikkonen into La Source.
The Red Bull was way across the inside kerb, with Raikkonen on his outside, as Vettel swept into the corner from the outside line.
The two Ferraris touched, Raikkonen hit Verstappen, and all three cars needed to stop at the end of the lap to repair the subsequent damage.
The world number one, who was involved in a 31-minute tie-break in his quarter-final, struggled in the first set against seventh seed Pouille.
The pair broke each other twice before Murray took the set after 68 minutes with his third break.
The final set was a one-sided affair as the Scot set up a meeting with Fernando Verdasco in Saturday's final.
Spaniard Verdasco, 33, beat Dutchman Robin Haase 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 6-1.
Murray has now reached seven finals in his last eight tournaments and Dubai is his 14th final in his last 16 events.
"It was tough and I made a lot of mistakes," Murray said. "But there was some good stuff in there.
"I think potentially the match yesterday had something to do with that - sometimes if your legs are a little bit tired, the serve is one of the first things that goes.
"As the match went on, I started serving a bit better and that helped me."
Murray, 29, is into his second final of the year but has never won the title in Dubai, losing to Roger Federer in his previous final appearance in 2012.
Playing his first tournament since his fourth-round defeat at the Australian Open in January, the Scot could extend his lead at the top of the world rankings with victory on Saturday.
However, Murray is wary of the threat posed by world number 35 Verdasco, who beat him in the 2009 Australian Open.
"This week he's had some good wins," Murray said. "Where the balls are fairly heavy here on a quick court, he can generate a lot of power, he can control the ball.
"And when he's dictating the points, he's one of the best in the world at doing that."
World number two Novak Djokovic was knocked out of the Mexico Open quarter-finals in straight sets by Australian Nick Kyrgios on Thursday.
Julie Thomas from Aberystwyth said she had queued in traffic for almost two hours to get into the event at Bridgend College's Pencoed campus.
Director of the Welsh language youth festival Aled Sion said Tuesday was expected to be the busiest day.
The event runs until 3 June and is expected to bring in 100,000 visitors over the course of the week.
He fired in from the edge of the box on 11 minutes before doing the same from slightly further out with another low, right-foot shot soon after the break.
Clayton Donaldson pulled a goal back on 53 minutes.
But that was all they could manage against a side reduced to 10 men in injury time when Alex Mowatt saw red.
Birmingham, who remain nine points adrift of sixth-placed Sheffield Wednesday, had failed to win in five games prior to Saturday's victory at Reading.
That weekend win had suddenly rekindled their play-off hopes and Blues began the night knowing that they had the chance to reduce the gap to six points.
Their task was made a whole lot harder when Dallas fired the first of his two goals into the bottom left corner.
But his second proved the killer blow, despite the home side pulling one back within three minutes,
Donaldson hooked home his ninth goal of the season after Leeds keeper Marco Silvestri did well to keep out David Cotterill's powerful shot.
That gave Blues over half an hour to level but substitute Diego Fabbrini's wild shot over the bar from six yards was the closest they came to an equaliser.
Mowatt's red card for a late tackle on Ryan Shotton came too late to matter, as Blues slumped to only a second home defeat in 12 games.
Joe Storey, 27, is accused of murdering Kerri McAuley, 32, who was found dead at Southalls Way, Norwich on 8 January.
Norwich Crown Court heard friends describe a history of domestic violence which left Ms McAuley "disfigured" and fearing for her life.
Storey, of Murrells Court, Norwich denies murder but admits manslaughter.
More news from Norfolk
Ms McAuley's friend Gemma Richards told jurors she saw Storey headbutt his partner after a night out in October 2015.
Ms Richards, and statements from other friends read to the court, also described several occasions where they had seen Ms McAuley with facial injuries.
The jury was told the pair liked drinking, but that Storey's personality would change and he would become aggressive.
Ms McAuley told her friends he used to beat her with his mobile phone and she feared for her life, the court heard.
Earlier, prosecutor Simon Spence told the court Storey and Ms McAuley had an "on-off relationship".
Calls and texts between the couple from May 2016 to January showed she was trying to stay away from him but he had persuaded her to come back, the prosecution said.
A pathologist's report documented 19 separate injuries to her head and face including fractures to her eye sockets.
Her nose was broken so badly the bones were protruding through her skin, the court heard.

Tests showed the parasite can learn to shrug off the effects of the drug atovaquone, but in doing so it cripples a later part of its life cycle.
The team at the University of Melbourne hope the "genetic trap" will lead to new ways of curbing malaria.
They are aiming to perform field tests in Kenya and Zambia.
Atovaquone was introduced in 2000, but it became less popular when resistance was almost immediately detected.
The concern with resistance is that it spreads and eventually the drug becomes unusable as it can no longer kill the malaria parasite.
The researchers followed the full and complex life cycle of the malaria parasite in both animals and mosquitoes.
In initial tests on mice, published in the journal Science, they confirmed what had long been known - that resistance to the drug can emerge.
However, the parasite has to change in order to become resistant and the study showed it altered the way it releases energy from food.
This helped the parasite survive the chemical onslaught in the mouse's bloodstream where there is a free and easy supply of sugar.
But it is harder for the parasite inside a mosquito and it had lost something vital for life in those more hostile conditions.
So despite resistance emerging in one host species, it was unable to survive in the other.
In 44 attempts to spread a resistant parasite from one mouse to another, involving 750 mosquito bites, it was successful only once. And that resistance was unable to spread any further.
Prof Geoff McFadden, one of the researchers, told the BBC: "I think it could be really big, it could really change the way we use this drug."
He added: "The development of drug resistance may not be a major problem if the resistance cannot spread, meaning the drug atovaquone could be more widely used in malaria control.
"We now understand the particular genetic mutation that gave rise to drug resistance in some malaria parasite populations and how it eventually kills them in the mosquito, providing new targets for the development of drugs."
Experiments with the human malarial parasite showed similar findings, but the researchers now want to test it in the field.
About half of the world's population, around 3.2 billion people, are at risk of the disease. It kills around 440,000 people each year.
Commenting on the findings, Prof David Conway from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, told the BBC: "Any resistant parasites that arise in a person taking the drug cannot be transmitted to other people, so resistance should always remain very rare.
"This drug is normally used in a co-formulated tablet with an unrelated drug called proguanil to prevent and treat malaria, but it is expensive and normally only used by travellers from wealthy countries.
"Other antimalarial drugs are the mainstay for prevention and treatment throughout the world and resistance to most of these is spreading, as the parasite gene mutations involved do not prevent transmission."

The headquarters of thee opposition parties have been torched in the capital, Kinshasa, hours after an opposition-organised protest triggered violent clashes with police, leaving at least 17 people dead.
What lies behind the opposition protests?
The opposition fears that President Joseph Kabila will prove to be similar to some of his regional counterparts by hanging on to power through sleight of hand.
Their concerns have been fuelled by the fact that the government is laying the groundwork for postponing presidential elections due in November.
Following a case brought by the ruling party, the Constitutional Court - comprising the country's most senior judges - ruled in July that Mr Kabila can remain in office if logistical difficulties force a delay in the elections.
And a delay is likely, as the electoral commission has said it needs at least until July 2017 to register more than 30 million voters in a country similar in size to Western Europe, but with one of the worst transport and communication links in the world.
And its east is mostly lawless with myriad militias controlling patches of territory, making voter registration more difficult.
So far, Mr Kabila is tight-lipped, leaving his political allies to do his bidding for him.
Why won't he face the electorate?
He cannot - and that is his problem. Since taking power following the assassination of his father in 2001, he has won two elections.
The constitution bars him from seeking a third term. So the best way for him to remain in power is to delay the election.
Another option is to lift the two-term presidential limit, but Mr Kabila might struggle to garner a two-thirds parliamentary majority to push through such an unpopular constitutional amendment.
And he may be aware of the fate of other leaders who tinkered with the constitution - especially Burkina Faso's long-serving ruler Blaise Compaore who was overthrown in a popular uprising in 2014 following his bid to alter the constitution so that he could seek re-election.
The arrogance of power
Won't foreign powers force him to hold the November election?
This is unlikely. Influential African leaders such as Angola's Jose Eduardo dos Santos (in power since 1979), Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe (since 1980) and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni (since 1986) have a reputation of seeking to be presidents-for-life. So, the chances of them pushing for an end to Mr Kabila's 16-year rule are remote.
The African Union has appointed former Togolese premier Edem Kodjo as mediator, but the opposition has refused to deal with him and has accused him of being biased in favour of Mr Kabila.
As for Europe and the US, they have relatively little leverage over Mr Kabila because DR Congo has the natural resources that they need - including diamonds, gold, copper, zinc, cobalt, coltan, used in mobile phones, and cassiterite, essential for making tin cans.
Plus there is no certainty that they want Mr Kabila out - they may publicly call on him to step down but privately they may take the view, better the devil you know than the devil you don't.
What about the UN force in DR Congo?
Mr Kabila has been pushing for its withdrawal from DR Congo, alleging that its presence undermines the sovereignty of the country.
So it is unlikely to get involved for fear of antagonising Mr Kabila, and jeopardising its peacekeeping operations in the east.
The UN has about 20,000 troops in DR Congo, making it one of the biggest peacekeeping missions in the world.
Although it is often criticised for failing to do enough to disarm militias in the east, its presence is seen as vital in maintaining regional stability.
DR Congo has been at the centre of what has been dubbed Africa's World War, with six nations fighting a proxy war which led to the loss of some five million lives between 1994 and 2003.
Mr Kabila has used the conflict to his advantage by portraying himself as a guarantor of stability.
But can he survive the protests?
Having twice lost to Mr Kabila in election, DR Congo's main opposition leader, the 83-year-old Etienne Tshisekedi, knows that age is against him in his bid to secure the presidency.
So he will be hoping that if Mr Kabila does not bow out gracefully, he will be toppled in a popular uprising - like Mr Compaore or Egypt's Hosni Mubarak.
As for the 45-year-old president, he has been relying on a mixture of repression and diplomacy to remain in office - and no successor has been groomed within his PPRD party.
He has pardoned some political prisoners, and has called for a national dialogue to resolve the escalating crisis.
At the same time, the authorities have targeted the president's rivals.
Business tycoon Moise Katumbi has been sentenced in absentia to 36 months in prison after being convicted of corruption - a charge he denied.
He fled the country before the trial, raising doubts whether he will be able to return to challenge the 19-year rule of the Kabila dynasty in one of Africa's richest countries. | A husband and wife have both been jailed for life for murdering her parents and burying them in their back garden.

Residents told the BBC's Somali service that militants withdrew on Thursday from south-east Dinsor town, which the group had held since 2008.
Al-Shabab used Dinor as a hideout to launch attacks on other parts of Somalia, a BBC correspondent says.
The group is battling Somalia's government for control of the country.
On Wednesday, al-Shabab admitted it had lost control of the strategic town of Bardere in the same area.
It has not commented on the loss of Dinsor, which lies 270km (170 miles) west of the capital Mogadishu.
The continuing loss of territory means al-Shabab is being cornered into a smaller area, surrounded by Somali and regional forces, BBC Somali analyst Abdinur Mohamed says.
It is highly unlikely that the group will be able to retake any of the towns it has lost in the latest offensive, he adds.
"The insurgents have fled after losing the battle... the troops are now conducting security operations to clear the town," Somali Defence Minster, Gen Abdulkadir Sheikh Ali Dini told the AFP news agency, despite residents reporting that the town was taken without a fight.
Last week, the AU and Somali forces launched "Operation Jubba Corridor", an offensive aimed at flushing the al-Qaeda-linked group out of the largely rural areas of southern Somalia it controls.
AU troops have been in the country since 2007 helping various UN-backed governments fight al-Shabab - and there is now a force of more than 21,000 in the country.
Over the last four years, the militants have been driven from most of the key towns they once held but they still control rural areas in the south.
Somalia has seen clan-based warlords, rival politicians and Islamist militants battle for control since the fall of long-serving ruler Siad Barre in 1991.
The foreign secretary told MPs it was "pretty clear" that Russia had been behind the hacking of US Democratic National Committee emails ahead of the presidential election.
He also said it would be "folly" for the UK and the US to "demonise" Russia.
Russia's embassy in London accused the UK of an "anti-Russian witch hunt".
Mr Johnson was speaking in the House of Commons after returning from the United States, where he visited congressional leaders as well as President-elect Trump's advisers.
His visit came amid a row over a report by US intelligence agencies, claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered hackers to damage Mr Trump's Democrat rival, Hillary Clinton, and influence the US election.
Responding to a Commons question, Mr Johnson said it was "pretty clear" the hacking had come from the Russians.
He added: "The point that we have made to the incoming administration, and indeed on Capitol Hill, is just this: as I said earlier, we do think that the Russian state - the Putin Kremlin - is up to all sorts of very dirty tricks, such as cyber-warfare, but it would be folly for us further to demonise Russia or to push Russia into a corner, so a twin-track strategy of engagement and vigilance is what is required."
In an answer to another question, Mr Johnson said there was "no doubt" Russia was "up to no good" but that there were also "areas where we can work together".
The foreign secretary has previously called for demonstrations outside Russia's embassy in London over its actions in Syria.
His latest remarks came as the Russian embassy accused the British government of briefing against President Putin and conducting an anti-Russian witch hunt.
In a lengthy statement, the embassy accused the UK government of planning an "official anti-Russian witch hunt" and added: "HMG [Her Majesty's Government] is... widely suspected of and expected to brief the incoming US administration against Russia."
It would be "plainly wrong" for one UN Security Council member to brief against another, the statement added.
The Bishop of Coventry said he had pressed the wrong button - giving the impression "that there was not complete agreement in the House of Bishops".
The Rt Rev Christopher Cocksworth said the mistake had been a "moment of distraction and some confusion".
Overall, the church's ruling body voted not to take note of the report.
Last month, the House of Bishops had published an official report for the Church on sexuality, after three years of "shared conversations" with the LGBT community and other Christians.
It called for a "culture of welcome and support" for gay Christians.
But the report maintained the position that marriage in church should remain the lifelong union of a man and a woman, and services should not be held to bless same-sex relationships.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, who supported the report, concluded Wednesday's debate at the Church's ruling general synod by calling for a "radical new Christian inclusion".
Dr Cocksworth said he had apologised to his colleagues in the House of Bishops and to the archbishops for his mistake.
In a statement, he said: "Due to a moment of distraction and some confusion over the voting process, I pressed the wrong button on my handset, thus registering a vote against taking note rather than a vote for taking note of the report."
The House of Bishops voted overwhelmingly (43-1) in favour of the report - with Dr Cocksworth's vote the one against - and the House of Laity backed it by 106 votes to 83.
But to win approval, the report had to win backing in all three houses of the general synod and the House of Clergy rejected it by 100 votes to 93, with two abstentions.
Dr Cocksworth added that the report was a "valuable road map" and he was "disappointed" by the vote's outcome.
Patterson stroked the ball into the bottom corner in the 26th minute and then fired home a penalty five minutes into added time in the second half.
The goals brought Patterson's overall tally for the season to 20.
Derry finished the campaign with four wins and had already qualified for the Europa League by finishing third.
Shaun Patton was handed a start by Derry manager Kenny Shiels after regular goalkeeper Ger Doherty had played every minute of every previous game for the Candystripes this season.
Patton saved from Steven Kinsella early on but Patterson made no mistake at the other end by sidefooting in the opener.
The striker was almost on target again soon after when he hit the bar and Rory Holden steered his first-time shot with the goal gaping.
Patterson did grab his second with his last-gasp spot-kick after he was brought down by Rory Feely, who received a red card.
By 10-7, the Committee on Foreign Relations moved the measure to a full Senate vote, expected next week.
The proposal allows the use of force in Syria for 60 days with the possibility to extend it for 30 days. It prevents the use of US troops on the ground.
President Barack Obama is battling to build support at home and abroad for military action.
Despite Wednesday's vote, the bill's ultimate fate in the wider Senate is unclear. And the US House of Representatives must also approve the measure.
So far, only 23 senators have said they support or are likely to back the resolution, according to a tally by ABC/BBC News.
Sixteen have said they oppose or are likely to oppose the resolution, while 61 votes are undecided or unknown.

In small towns strung across western Michigan, the questions came fast to Representative Justin Amash, a Republican. You could cut the scepticism and hostility towards military intervention with a knife.
What would happen to Israel? How can we afford it? What's the aim of military action? Won't it help al-Qaeda? What's the threat to national security? Why are we the world's policeman? Where's the evidence that it was the Syrian government?
Some of the doubt springs from hyper-partisanship - some Republicans trust nothing that comes from the Obama administration. But the shadow of Iraq is huge. There's an instinctive recoil from people who admit they were once enthusiasts for the toppling of Saddam.
Mr Amash was voting 'no' before his town-hall tour of his district. But if grassroots Republican hostility is as strong elsewhere, and wavering members of Congress are listening, President Obama is in big trouble.
However, those numbers are expected to shift as the language in the resolution changes, the White House and its congressional allies apply pressure, and lawmakers hear from their constituents.
Earlier in the day, France - whose government has strongly advocated intervention - held an extraordinary debate in the National Assembly, though MPs will not vote on the matter as the country's president can mobilise the military without their backing.
The government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is accused of using chemical weapons against civilians on several occasions during the 30-month conflict, most recently on a large scale in an attack on 21 August on the outskirts of Damascus.
The US has put the death toll from that incident at 1,429 - though other countries and organisations have given lower figures - and says all the evidence implicates government forces.
At a press conference on Wednesday in Stockholm, Sweden, President Obama said: "My credibility is not on the line. The international community's credibility is on the line.
"America and Congress's credibility is on the line, because we give lip-service to the notion that these international norms are important."
Mr Obama said he believed the US Congress would approve intervention, but stressed that as commander-in-chief, he had the right to act in his country's national interest regardless.
The Senate foreign relations committee approved the resolution, with one abstention, after accepting an amendment by Republican Senator John McCain that advocated increasing support for rebel forces.
The measure pledges support for "decisive changes to the present military balance of power" in Syria.
It also states US policy is to "change the momentum on the battlefield in Syria so as to create favorable conditions for a negotiated settlement that ends the conflict and leads to a democratic government".
Senator Dick Durbin, a senior Democrat on the panel, said he had voted against the war in Iraq, but that "this is different".
"What we've done today is a step in the right direction," he said. "I hope it makes a safer world."
But another Democrat, Senator Tom Udall, said he had voted no because he believed it would embroil the US in the Syrian civil war.
He was joined by five Republicans in voting against the resolution, including Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, both of whom are tipped as potential 2016 presidential candidates.

Two top Obama administration officials, Secretary of State John Kerry and Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel, meanwhile continued to press the case for intervention, this time before a House of Representatives panel.
Mr Hagel said any US military strike would not be a mere "pin prick", but would reduce the Syrian government's military capability.
He said he thought there was a "very high" likelihood that Mr Assad would use chemical weapons again if the US did not act.
In Syria, Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad said Damascus was mobilising its allies, who were "offering it all sorts of support". He cited Iran, Russia, South Africa and some Arab countries.
Syrian state TV denied reports that a former Defence Minister, General Ali Habib, had defected to Turkey.
The United Nations says more than 100,000 people have been killed and two million others have fled the country since the uprising against President Assad began in March 2011.
The US goalkeeper was also one of several women whose naked pictures were apparently leaked online.
Solo has responded, saying the leak goes "beyond the bounds of human decency".
In a Facebook post she wrote: "I stand united with all the women affected and am exploring every option to protect my privacy.
"It is extremely sad and unfortunate that the rights of so many women were violated by the unauthorised release of private photographs.
Following the latest leak, which appeared to show celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens and Mary-Kate Olsen, the FBI vowed to widen its investigation into the hacking.
It began investigating after a first batch of photos, which included Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, was published in early September.
Kim Kardashian spoke to Newsbeat after the original hack at the start of September, saying: "'I think it's a big wake up call for people to make sure they have every privacy setting".
As well as addressing the latest photos, Hope Solo also referred to her recent legal issues.
She's currently awaiting trial on domestic abuse charges following an arrest at a family event in June. She's pleaded not guilty.
Referring to that, she wrote: "In addition, while I understand that the public desires more information regarding the allegations against me, I continue to maintain my innocence against these charges.
"And, once all the facts come to light and the legal process is concluded, I am confident that I will be fully exonerated."

The Syrian army says it is implementing the truce, which began at sunset, but rebel groups have been more guarded.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, who helped broker the deal, warned it could be the last chance for peace in a united Syria.
Humanitarian groups are hoping to make aid deliveries to the worst-hit areas, especially the war-torn city of Aleppo.
Mr Kerry, speaking at the state department in Washington, said early reports indicated "some reduction in violence".
But he said that it was too early to draw a definitive conclusion about how effective the truce would be.
Just after the ceasefire came into effect at sunset on Monday, the Syrian army announced a seven-day "freeze" on military operations.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group reported that calm appeared to be prevailing on most front lines.
The deal was struck on Friday in Geneva after months of talks between Russia and the US. It also requires both sides to allow unhindered access for humanitarian aid to besieged areas.
If the truce holds for seven days, the US and Russia will carry out co-ordinated air strikes on militant groups.
The opposition Free Syrian Army group has said that while it will "co-operate positively" with the ceasefire, it was concerned it would benefit the government.
Another major rebel group, the hardline Islamist Ahrar al-Sham, initially rejected the deal but later appeared to have softened its stance.
Opposition sources quoted by Reuters said a forthcoming statement supporting the cessation "with harsh reservations" would be backed by "the largest groups", including Ahrar al-Sham.
Speaking earlier, President Bashar al-Assad welcomed the deal but said the Syrian state was still "determined to recover every area from the terrorists, and to rebuild".
The cessation of violence is due to be renewed every 48 hours.
The strength, or otherwise, of the ceasefire is a big test of what appears to be a less sour, more workable relationship between the foreign ministers of the US and Russia.
Diplomacy failed in the first, critical years of the war. A major reason for that was diplomatic deadlock between President Bashar al-Assad's ally, Russia, and the US, which demanded his immediate departure from office.
Since then Russia has become the most influential outside power in Syria. The US and its Western allies have struggled to keep up.
Perhaps Moscow is now ready to build on a ceasefire, if it lasts, to push President Assad towards a political transition that might end the war.
Or perhaps, as enemies of President Assad and the Russians believe, the ceasefire will be a chance to regroup and rearm.
The truce followed a weekend of air strikes by government forces on several rebel areas that killed about 100 people.
Russian warplanes were also in action in the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo, say Syrian activists.

Such intensification of violence has occurred before other, aborted, ceasefires in Syria.
Under the plan, Syrian government forces will halt combat missions in specified opposition-held areas.
Russia and the US will then establish a joint centre to combat jihadist groups, including so-called Islamic State and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (known until recently as the Nusra Front).
The conflict in Syria, which began with an uprising against Mr Assad, has raged for five years and claimed the lives of more than a quarter of a million people.
More than 4.8 million have fled abroad, and an estimated 6.5 million others have been displaced within the country, the UN says.
Jihadist groups like so-called Islamic State and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham face the joint might of the Russian and US air forces
Moderate rebels and civilians in the areas they hold will no longer face the threat of indiscriminate air strikes such as barrel-bombing although the Syrian air force will not be grounded completely; aid deliveries will be allowed to areas currently under siege
President Assad will be in a stronger position as the US and Russia engage two of his most effective military opponents while moderate rebels observe the truce with his forces

In 1992 brother and sister Erik and Lina Runestam, with their friend Christoffer Hogstrom dropped a letter in the sea in Hunnebostrand.
It was found in November by Leonard Pearson, who lives in Panama.
He said he used Google Translate to help him read the message and sent a reply, hoping it would reach the kids who wrote the message in a bottle.
Speaking to Newsbeat, Erik said: "My memory is a bit blurry because I just turned six that summer.
"We wanted to make it look old school so we burned the edges of the paper and we wrote a message saying we were in desperate need of help, saying we were stranded on a desert island."
Erik remembers being excited about sending the message in the bottle.
He told Newsbeat: "Our dad told us we should wait until the wind was blowing off land because it might go as far as England, so we were a bit excited about that.
"It would have travelled north of Denmark, through the English Channel to cross the Atlantic. Our hopes weren't that high to even get to England."
Erik had lost touch with his childhood friend Christoffer - they hadn't spoken for 10 years. So Erik was very surprised when Christoffer sent a photo of the letter with a reply from Panama.
The letter - dated 6 November 2014 - reads: "Bueno dias. I have found this message in a bottle at Playa del Dragos, Bocas del Toro.
"I used Google Translate, and it seems the message is in Swedish? I hope that the address is correct and that this letter reaches the kids who sent the message."
Erik told Newsbeat: "I really want to tell Leonard that it has reached us and we're no longer kids but he didn't post a return address so we're trying to find him."

The Northern Irishman, 52, led the Perth side to a second straight fourth-placed finish in season 2015-16.
Saints have finished in the top half of the table in each of Wright's three seasons in charge.
"I was delighted to hear I'd won it," Wright said of his award on the St Johnstone website.
"But even though it's me that receives the award, it's also recognition for the great work carried out by Callum [Davidson], Alec [Cleland], Paul Smith and all my staff for what we've achieved together over the season.
"The players have been terrific this season and it's their performances that have led to this award. So, I would like to thank them for all their help this season.
"It's nice to get that sort of recognition from people outwith the football club. The chairman and the board are supportive of me, as are the supporters, so to get the backing of an outside party shows that the football club is progressing.
"We've achieved a lot in getting a fourth place finish in what I feel was a tougher league this season.
"Planning for next season is well underway and has been for a few months."

Dembele, 20, has not featured since late April, when he injured a hamstring in the semi-final win over Rangers.
The Frenchman has scored 32 goals for the Scottish champions this season, five of them in the Scottish Cup.
"He's fine. He has trained all week so he is available. He would be able to start," Rodgers said.
In Dembele's absence, fellow striker Leigh Griffiths has scored four goals in five matches, including one in the 3-1 Premiership victory over the Dons at Pittodrie.
The Scotland player began the season as Rodgers' first-choice option up-front, but lost his starting berth due to the form of free-scoring Dembele.
"All the players throughout the season have given me selection issues," Rodgers added. "We had our 208th session today, and in the main the players have been available for all of them.
"Every player that has come in has done very, very well. I've never had to rely on just 11 players. The squad has really come to the fore over the course of the season.
"Playing our 59th competitive game, you need that squad. When Leigh was playing earlier in the season, Moussa was on the side. Leigh got injured, Moussa came in and did fantastically. Leigh has missed a lot of the season through illness, injury and the form of the team.
"But I know I can rely on them all. Whoever we put into the team will, I'm sure, do a fantastic job."
Celtic have beaten Aberdeen in their five previous meetings this term, including a comfortable 3-0 triumph in November's League Cup final.

Should the Parkhead side lift the Scottish Cup for the 37th time, Rodgers will have guided his team to a first domestic treble since 2001, without having lost a game in the process.
"We've tried to remove the emotion of it all," the former Liverpool boss said. "We've just tried to look at the next game.
"Of course there's been a lot written and said in the last few months about what the players could achieve, in terms of going the season unbeaten. We've had to retain our focus.
"It's really just about concentrating on what you can control. We can control how we prepare our team, how we train, how the players work, their intensity of their work, and what the players have done brilliantly this season is deal with pressure.
"When you play for Celtic you're always under pressure because the expectancy is to win every game, but we've played a lot of big games where questions were asked in the build-up and the players have always found the answers. We'll go into this game ready to perform.
"No matter the result on Saturday, it's been a brilliant season for us in our first season together, knowing that next season we can only improve."
The garden with a circular walled garden in the grounds of Mortonhall crematorium is expected to be completed by November this year.
Parents were asked to choose between four different designs.
The pond originally proposed will be replaced with a stone water feature due to safety fears.
It will include beech hedges, birch trees, a stone ball water feature, rocks, a pathway and seating and will be located off the existing memorial walkway not far from the main chapel.
A second memorial is to be built in Princes Street Gardens as some families had strong views that they did not wish to return to Mortonhall.
The 16-year-old found the 500g (1lb) gold bar at a depth of about 2m (6.5ft) while swimming near the shore of Bavaria's Koenigssee lake last August.
She handed it into police, who were unable to find the owner.
It is still not clear how the bar ended up in the lake.
A six-month investigation could not identify the owner and, as a result, the teenager will be allowed to keep the gold. The girl has not been identified.
The bar's identity number had been defaced but officials managed to restore it, German media reported.
The find revived rumours of Nazi gold supposedly lost in the lake, near Germany's southern border with Austria, but reports said the find was not connected to the Nazi era.
Newcastle's defeat at Nottingham Forest on Friday meant the Seagulls would have replaced them at the top with a win.
Neither they nor Cardiff looked likely to claim victory in a torpid encounter.
Brighton pressed for a winner but had Gaeten Bong sent off in added time, the draw keeping Cardiff one point adrift of safety in 22nd place.
Chris Hughton's visitors may rue this result as a missed opportunity, as they were seldom troubled by their relegation-threatened opponents.
Brighton extended their unbeaten run to 13 league games and remain in second place in the Championship but did so without impressing against a Cardiff side who had lost three of their previous four league fixtures.
Despite the gulf in the teams' standings, there was little to differentiate them in this uneventful match.
Aron Gunnarsson had an early shot saved but Cardiff may have felt their best hope of a goal was Brighton centre-back Shane Duffy, who scored two own goals as a Blackburn player at the same ground in August - making him Cardiff's joint-fourth top scorer this season.
The Republic of Ireland international almost contributed at the right end on this occasion as his header found Glenn Murray in the Cardiff penalty area, but referee Roger East blew for a foul before the Brighton striker had swept the ball into the net.
Cardiff boss Neil Warnock:
"The lads are going out tonight, but I don't think Joe Bennett would've enjoyed his night out if Brighton had scored early on.
"We had to work really hard and there wasn't anyone who didn't give everything, and we knew we had to because they're such a good team.
"Brighton rip people apart and we had to be well-organised and catch them on the break."
Brighton manager Chris Hughton:
"I'd say over the 90 minutes, we were the better side and the onus was on us to break down a tough defence.
"There are more places than Cardiff where I've come away disappointed. They will make it very hard for teams to come here.
"After a game like this there are the disappointments, but the positives are another clean sheet, and a run that's kept us going."

Rhodri Talfan Davies says the fall in the number of people speaking Welsh has also led to challenges in broadcasting.
His comments were made in a speech at the Celtic Media Festival in Swansea.
Meanwhile, radio listeners across Wales have been invited to take part in a nationwide "conversation" about BBC Radio Cymru.
Mr Davies said Wales would be seeking the views of both organisations and individual Welsh language listeners, including those who don't currently listen to the station.
He said the research would ensure the station remained "successful and vibrant" in the future.
During his speech at the festival he referred to the 2011 Census results released in December.
They showed the number of Welsh speakers overall has fallen from 582,000 in 2001 to 562,000 in 2011, representing a two percentage point drop - from 21% to 19% - in the proportion of Welsh speakers.
Mr Davies said it suggested the "language is in the midst of a fundamental shift" and, therefore, broadcasters like BBC Wales which produces English and Welsh language content across TV, radio and online faced challenges to appeal to a broad audience.
He said it was once a language learned at home by those using it all the time whereas now it more often taught in the classroom.
"The so-called homogenous Welsh language audience is becoming more diverse than ever before," he said.
"At a functional level, their ability to use the language level varies more than ever before.
"And at a more emotional level their confidence in using the language is also becoming more varied.
"But perhaps most profound of all, the cultural and social reference points of Welsh speakers - both those fluent and those less so - are more varied than ever before.
"For an increasing number of Welsh speakers, Welsh language culture is only one part of a patchwork of influences that straddle, Welsh, British and international cultures."
In his speech, Mr Davies said he wanted BBC One Wales "to think creatively about how we allow Welsh language voices and experiences to be heard and experienced a little more."
In an interview afterwards, Mr Davies said: "Is it right that we scarcely hear Welsh spoken on BBC One Wales?"
"To be very clear what we are not talking about here in any sense is introducing Welsh language programmes onto BBC One.
"The question I'm asking and posing is that Welsh is spoken in Wales, it is part of our culture, it's part of the fabric of society.
"So from time to time, where it's appropriate, should perhaps an interviewee be allowed to contribute in Welsh?"
Mr Davies said Welsh language station BBC Radio Cymru has been looking at how to address changes in the use of the language - but added that it would not become a bilingual service.
"If Radio Cymru is to thrive it must reach out to serve the broadest possible Welsh language audience - including those less confident with the language - to fully embrace their lives and passions," he said.
"To be crystal clear, we don't think the answer is for Radio Cymru to mutate into a bilingual station.
"But we do need to work harder to reach those who are less confident in the language or are still learning it."
He highlighted the new relationship between BBC Wales and Welsh channel S4C, describing it as "strong new partnership ...that may have surprised some".
As a result of that he said TV detective series Hinterland - currently being filmed in Aberystwyth - was being made in Welsh and English to be screened on both S4C and BBC.
"And when the prestigious BBC Cardiff Singer of the World launches in June, both S4C and BBC will jointly celebrate this major cultural event," Mr Davies told delegates.
The festival celebrates film, radio and digital media from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany and the Isle of Man.
Among other speakers at the festival is Ron Jones, founder of independent television company Tinopolis which is making Hinterland.
The three-day celebration promotes the languages and cultures of the Celtic nations and regions.
Mark Simpson denied murdering his then-girlfriend's daughter Alexis Matheson by assaulting her in 2007.
A jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict at the High Court in Aberdeen in 2010 and Simpson was jailed for a minimum of 20 years.
The review was ordered in February last year, and the report is due on Friday.
The review has been headed up by Howard Llewellyn, the chief officer of Tayside community justice authority.
He has been reporting to the north east of Scotland child protection committee, having been asked to establish the facts about individual and agency contacts with the child to learn any lessons and make recommendations.
Simpson was found guilty in November 2010 of the murder of baby Alexis by shaking her to death, having denied murder by assaulting her between 18 November and 9 December 2007.
He had lived in Aberdeen with the baby's mother Ilona Sheach.
The Crown had urged the jury to convict Simpson for his "wicked recklessness".
However, the defence argued there was no sufficient corroborating evidence to say he even assaulted the baby.
Judge Lord Uist had told Simpson: "The pain and agony which baby Alexis must have suffered as a result of the injuries which you inflicted upon her are unthinkable."
He called for a fatal accident inquiry.
The Forestry Commission submitted plans which included creating 67 log cabins in Delamere Forest, Cheshire, and improving visitor facilities.
The woodland would have been "sustainably developed for future generations" but parish councils argued it would "damage" greenbelt land.
Cheshire West and Chester Council refused the planning application at a meeting earlier.
Forestry Commission Chief Executive Simon Hodgson told councillors the site's "infrastructure is out of date, worn out and it needs to be reinvested in for the future".
"This is a tried and tested cabin development... The forest would remain open to the public and fully accessible around the cabins."
A coalition of three parish councils said the holiday facility at the northern tip of the forest would "change the forest and how it is enjoyed forever".
Parish councillor Nigel Gilding, from campaign group Communities Against Delamere's Destruction, said the plan represented "the start of the erosion of Delamere Forest".
The holiday lodge development would have helped pay for an improved visitor centre in the south of the woodland, more car parking and upgraded trails and paths, the Forestry Commission said.
Similar proposals were approved by Cheshire West and Chester Council in 2013, but rejected by the Secretary of State in 2014.
He performed in Hacienda Classical with Mike Pickering and Manchester Camerata.
It is a new spin on Manchester club scene music from the 1980s as both had worked as DJs at the Hacienda at that time.
After the gig, Park tweeted it was an "amazing" experience.
Paul Davies, from Manchester Camerata, tweeted it had been a "proud, proud moment".
Mauricio Pochettino's side were ahead after 15 minutes when a long Toby Alderweireld pass picked out Dele Alli, who flashed a volley past Boaz Myhill.
But Spurs' intensity dropped after that strong start and West Brom levelled before the break when James McClean's header concluded a patient move.
The draw means Tony Pulis' side stay 13th, nine clear of the bottom three.
Having advanced stealthily on the top four in recent weeks, consecutive draws have dented Tottenham's momentum somewhat.
A goalless draw against Chelsea last weekend would probably have been considered a decent result, but the failure to take all three points at The Hawthorns will be a disappointment - particularly after the way Pochettino's side started this game.
Composed in possession, resolute defensively and menacing in attack, they were well worth the lead given to them by Dele Alli's fine goal.
However, the north London side allowed West Brom to wrest back the initiative and were unable to seize control again after conceding, despite having plenty of the ball. Indeed, it was the hosts who looked more likely to win the game in the closing stages.
Underpinning West Brom's revival was their strength in midfield.
Centre-back Jonny Evans impressed in an unfamiliar left-back role in the draw with West Ham last Sunday and was given an equally unusual central midfield deployment against Tottenham in the absence of the suspended Claudio Yacob.
And, while some way shy of a playmaking quarterback, the Northern Irishman was a reassuring and redoubtable performer in tandem with former Manchester United team-mate Darren Fletcher.
His presence permitted both Fletcher and James Morrison licence to attack and both were involved in West Brom's goal - a cutely crafted effort down the right that culminated in Fletcher clipping a teasing cross to the back post for McClean to thump past Hugo Lloris.
Evans also nullified the threat of Spurs feted attacking trident of Alli, Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela, with the England midfielder's initial influence dwindling until his second-half substitution.
One scar upon West Brom's combative display was an awful challenge by goalscorer McClean on Mousa Dembele in the closing stages.

The Irish winger was high and late, and was very fortunate to escape with only a yellow card after referee Jon Moss consulted one of his assistants.
"It is reckless," said manager Tony Pulis, who also confirmed that winger Stephane Sessegnon suffered a hamstring injury. "I have spoken to him afterwards, and he should not go in for challenges like that. He has that in him, but he is not a nasty or dirty player."
West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "Little breaks, we need them to go for us against the bigger clubs to win those games. But I was very pleased with the effort and the commitment.

"This is the toughest job I have had. You need time, and there are a lot of things I want to change but to effect change you have to stay in the job for a time."
Tottenham manager Maurico Pochettino: "The feeling is not great. Maybe we dropped two points but if we analyse it, it was very solid performance and the conditions were very difficult, against a team that want to fight for every action.
"Maybe we deserved a bit more but it was a very difficult game. But Arsenal and some very good teams have dropped points here too in recent weeks."
Tottenham host Monaco in the Europa League on Thursday before welcoming Newcastle next Sunday. West Brom travel to Anfield on the same day.
Wada also described the allegations, which Manning dismissed as "complete garbage", as "very concerning".
Al Jazeera reported that Denver Broncos quarterback Manning was treated with human growth hormone (HGH) during his recovery from neck surgery in 2011.
Its source - Texas-based pharmacist Charlie Sly - has since recanted.
The Al Jazeera documentary linked players from the National Football League (NFL) and Major League Baseball (MLB) with performance-enhancing drugs.
"Al Jazeera's allegations are very concerning, particularly as it relates to the NFL's and MLB's testing programmes," David Howman, director-general of Wada, said in a statement.
"While the NFL and the MLB are not signatories to the world anti-doping code, in recent years Wada has been working with them and other professional leagues in the United States to try to bring them closer to Wada's programme.
"As it relates to the particular allegations by Al Jazeera, Wada expects that they will be carefully investigated by the relevant authorities and that, if warranted, necessary and appropriate steps would be taken."
The NFL collective bargaining agreement, ratified in 2011, banned HGH but players were not tested for it until 2014. No NFL player has tested positive for HGH.
MLB said it would investigate allegations made in the documentary that several of its players took banned hormone supplement Delta-2.

Mark Ormrod, from Plymouth, lost both legs and his right arm when he stood on an IED in Afghanistan 10 years ago.
He said: "Losing my limbs made me a lot more passionate for life."
Since being injured he has become a motivational speaker, a performance coach and an author.
The former soldier said after his recovery he felt "10 times more driven".
Quins have not disclosed the length of the 21-year-old South African's deal at the Twickenham Stoop.
"Cameron is a tough, uncompromising, physical individual who will create real competition for places," director of rugby John Kingston said.
"He has been signed with a mind that he will be challenging hard for a starting berth in the not too distant future."
The first stage of the bill is a brief procedure lasting no more than a couple of minutes.
The bill will be debated and put to a vote when on it reaches its second stage on Monday next week.
It has been described as a fantasy or phantom budget as it presupposes the parties will be able to resolve their differences over welfare reform.
Simon Hart was accused of sending letters supporting a Conservative candidate using pre-paid Commons envelopes ahead of the 4 May poll.
The claim was made by rival Plaid Cymru candidate, councillor Jonathan Preston.
The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards rejected the complaint after Mr Hart explained two mailings had been confused.
Using parliamentary stationery for campaigning would have been a breach of the rules and an investigation was launched by commissioner Kathryn Hudson.
Responding to the inquiry, the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire MP said he sent out two letters to constituents in March and believed they had been confused.
One letter, inviting residents to a public meeting, was posted in parliamentary envelopes on 11 March.
The second, which supported the Tory council election candidate, was sent out by the local Conservative Association on 30 March using plain stationery paid for using its own Royal Mail account.
The MP also explained the two mail shots were different sizes and it would have been difficult to fold the election campaign letter into the parliamentary envelope.
The commissioner accepted Mr Hart's explanation and rejected the complaint.
Root led England to a 211-run win over South Africa at Lord's in his first Test match as captain since succeeding Cook, who resigned in February after a record 59 Tests in charge.
Cook was impressed by the way Yorkshire's Root, 26, handled himself.
"By playing it a bit more low-key, certainly in the dressing room, his message will grow," said Cook.
"It will get clearer and stronger as he goes."
Listen: Joe Root - England captain

Root, who is known for his dressing room spirit, had only captained in four previous first-class matches before taking on the England job.
"You often see a captain who comes in and thinks he's got to do the speech at the start of his reign, saying that this is what he wants and stuff," added Cook.
"Then you've forgotten everything he's said after two minutes.
"But actually because he didn't do that, everyone was still waiting for it and when he did speak, he spoke very clearly and very concisely on what he wanted to do."
Cook, 32, does not think that Root's personality will be dampened by the new role.
"I still think you'll see the glint in his eye," he said.
Some questioned whether Cook would struggle under a new captain at Test level.
However, the Essex batsman thinks his relationship with Root will continue to flourish.
"As he feels more comfortable in the role and I feel more comfortable, I will maybe throw a few more suggestions at him, but in the first Test it was probably business as usual," added Cook.
"We were both still at first and second slip. It was me bouncing ideas off Joe and him deciding which idea he might take or not.
"You go back a year and it was him giving me the ideas and me making the decisions."

Cook said he is not contemplating retirement from the Test stage and wants to carry on playing for as long as possible.
"I genuinely love playing cricket, " he said. "I genuinely love, whether it's an Essex shirt or an England shirt, trying to score runs and trying to set up wins for the side.
"Hopefully I can be part of it for as long as I can, because one day some bloke will tap me on the shoulder and say 'we don't want you any more'."
Newcastle Falcons player Rob Hawkins has completed his first shift as a volunteer officer for Northumbria Police.
The 32-year-old hooker, who previously played for Bath and Leicester Tigers, said he is considering a career in the force when he retires from rugby.
Northumbria Police said they hope he will inspire others to volunteer.
Ch Insp Sarah Pitt, said: "We're really pleased that Rob has joined us as a special constable and we hope it encourages other people to think about getting involved.
"Our volunteers are a vital link between us and the communities we serve and we welcome the different skills they bring from their own professions."

SC Hawkins said: "I'm probably in my twilight years with my rugby career, so I'm starting to think heavily about the transition into the real world and I've always been interested in the police.
"Whilst I've got the opportunity to give it a whirl as a volunteer I decided to try it.
"I've played in front of 80,000 people before but I don't think I was as nervous then as I was starting my first shift.
"I've been getting a bit of a ribbing. I'm not looking forward to seeing a few of the boys in town when they've had a couple of jars as I'm sure they will probably try to steal my hat and other pranks, but I've told them they'll be in trouble."
The proposals, from the Commons Procedure Committee, would extend a system of e-petitions which already exists for government departments.
A new Petitions Committee would be set up to consider the documents and communicate with petitioners.
Petitioners would be called to give oral evidence in parliament and their campaigns would trigger debates.
Since 2011, people have been able to lobby government departments electronically. Petitions receiving more than 100,000 signatures can trigger a debate in the House of Commons.
Under the new plans, the existing e-petition site would be redesigned and jointly run by the House of Commons and the government.
A new Petitions Committee would back up the system.
Its proposed chair, Conservative backbencher Charles Walker, said: "Our proposals will enable the House to respond more effectively to petitions than it does now. Setting up a committee of MPs to consider the petitions presented to the House, hear petitioners' concerns and scrutinise the government's response to them is a fundamental part of the system we propose."
"This should improve the information available to the public about what the Commons does and the many ways in which MPs can respond to the people's concerns.
Proposed role of Petitions Committee:
The proposals will now be submitted to the government and will be subject to a vote in the Commons. They are expected to be agreed early next year so the new e-petitions system will be available by the start of the next Parliament.
On-loan midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe rounded Leeds goalkeeper Rob Green to make it 1-0 to the 23rd-placed Latics.
Chris Wood scored his 30th goal of the season from the penalty spot after Eunan O'Kane went down under Michael Jacobs' challenge to level the scores.
Kemar Roofe struck the crossbar from 25 yards, but Garry Monk's side could not find a winner and finish in seventh.
Leeds had already all but dropped out of the play-off race, surrendering sixth place to Fulham after their poor run of form, but started the better side with Pablo Hernandez firing an early chance wide.
However, it was Tunnicliffe who made the breakthrough, gathering Jacobs' pass to beat the onrushing Green and find the net for his first goal since scoring for parent club Fulham in a 4-1 win over Bristol City on 31 October 2015.
Buoyed by the goal, Wigan pushed for another and Green had to be alert to smother Omar Bogle's shot and keep out another Tunnicliffe effort.
But after the break Leeds got back into the match with O'Kane's driving run drawing a foul and allowing Wood to send goalkeeper Matt Gilks the wrong way from 12 yards.
Monk's side finished the stronger team but could not force a second goal, with Roofe's volley the closest they came to ending their season with a win.
Leeds were without left-back Charlie Taylor, who was not in the matchday squad, with Monk saying he refused to play having been "terribly advised".
Taylor, 23, is out of contract at the end of the season and West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has confirmed the Premier League side are interested in signing him.
Leeds manager Garry Monk:
"There's no sugar-coating this - Charlie refused to play the game. I think he's been terribly advised...I think he's been poorly advised all season.
"To refuse to play the game, for me as a manager and for the club, that's unacceptable. I've got a lot of time for Charlie, as we all have at the club.
"He's not very experienced in these situations, and you need proper guidance, and people around you who can help you do things right.
"He'll learn from this but, as a manager and a club, you cannot have a player refusing to play. The club will have a strong stance on this, I'm sure."
Wigan interim manager Graham Barrow:
"It was a decent way to finish the season, and we had chances at the end to have won it.
"We had to dig in a few times in that second half, because Leeds are a good side - one of the better sides we've played.
"I'm impressed with what Garry's done there, so fair play to him, but it was one of those games that we could have won."

When it finally came, it was in dramatic form.
A few bits of rusty scrap metal, unveiled in front of the assembled reporters at a press conference marking the publication of the investigation report.
Ever since the South Korean warship, the Cheonan, was split in half by an explosion and began sinking in the darkness with the loss of 46 lives, North Korea has been the prime suspect.
But why has it been so difficult to prove?
Stealth is the name of the game in submarine warfare.
It is entirely plausible that a ship, on routine patrol in its own shallow waters, would not pick up any signs of an enemy sub, or even a torpedo fired from one, on its sonar system.
So the fact that North Korea was not caught in the act has meant that the investigation team has had to embark on a painstaking and slow process, attempting to piece together what happened by examining the shattered wreck of the ship, salvaged in two pieces from the sea bed.
It was announced early on that the Cheonan had been hit by an external "non-contact" explosion.
That ruled out a simple collision with a rock, or an internal malfunction of the ship's own weapons systems.
Whatever sank it had exploded underwater, close to the hull of the ship but not in contact with it.
That is exactly the way that many torpedoes are designed to work, because exploding a few feet away from the ship causes a far more devastating blow than a direct hit.
The trouble for the investigation team was that many sea mines are designed to explode in exactly the same way.
Could the Cheonan have been sunk as the result of an accidental collision with an unexploded mine left over from the Korean War perhaps?
It was crucial to find direct evidence of the type of weapon involved.
To that end the South Korean navy even designed its own special nets and they have been dragging them, up to eight times a day, across the seabed close to the site of the sinking.
Just five days ago, they found what they were looking for - the propellers, a propulsion motor and a steering section of a torpedo, a perfect match for a model known to be manufactured and exported by North Korea.
The markings, in Korean script, are said to be consistent with those on a previously obtained model.
It was these fragments that were put on display at the news conference. They were clear evidence that the weapon used with such devastating effect was a 1.7 ton torpedo with a net explosive weight of 250kg, and apparent proof of North Korea's involvement.
There is other evidence of course.
The investigation report says that a number of small submarines, escorted by a support ship, left a North Korean naval base in the Yellow Sea a few days prior to the attack and returned a few days after it took place.
The investigation itself was given an added air of impartiality by the presence of 24 foreign experts from America, Australia, Britain and Sweden. They are all said to support the conclusions reached.
The only big question that remains is why?
Using a submarine to launch an unprovoked attack on another country's warship is such an extraordinary act of aggression with such serious potential consequences.
And despite the difficulties in obtaining proof after the event as outlined above, such an action certainly runs a substantial risk of detection.
Why would North Korea have taken such a calculated risk, and for what purpose?
Some observers have suggested that it may have been a simple act of retaliation.
The Cheonan sank close to the disputed sea boundary between North and South Korean territorial waters, along which the two navies have clashed a number of times in the past decade.
The most recent incident, last November, left a North Korean ship in flames, with reported casualties amongst the crew.
But torpedoing a warship would be a very dramatic response indeed.
Another theory suggests that the incident is a worrying indication of the tensions within the North Korean power structure.
Perhaps the order was given by the ageing and ailing North Korean leader to keep the military on side. Or perhaps the military were acting alone.
The speculation will continue, as will the debate about the appropriate response.
But for now, one thing seems to be beyond reasonable doubt, the Cheonan was sunk by North Korea, and South Korea has the evidence to prove it.
The ice dance duo, now based in Novi, Michigan, scored 173.17 to eclipse their ninth-place finish in 2014.
"We really wanted to leave it all out on the ice tonight and we did that," Buckland, 26, told BBC Sport.
France's Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron retained their world title with a score of 194.46.
Maia and Alex Shibutani (188.43) were second, with fellow Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates, who train alongside Coomes and Buckland, third (185.77).
Coomes and Buckland, from Nottingham, were making a comeback having missed last year's World and European championships through illness.
"I was so in-the-moment, so involved in that performance," said Coomes, who turns 27 on Wednesday. "I lived every second and thoroughly enjoyed it."
Luca Gasparotto saved the Bairns early on when he reacted quickly to clear David Smith's prod at goal.
When Luke Leahy headed against the crossbar in the second half for Peter Houston's men, it looked as if the breakthrough would never come.
But, in the 86th minute, Leahy crossed for Miller to slam in at the back post and snatch his side a victory.

An investigation by Health Protection Scotland found a link to certain products produced by Highland Game.
Nine people contracted the same strain of E. coli O157 after eating venison purchased raw and cooked at home.
Highland Game said there was "no substantiated evidence" of the source of the "very rare" outbreak.
Food Standards Scotland said the affected products, including Scottish Slimmers venison sausages, Scottish Slimmers venison meatballs, grillsteaks, and venison steaks with pepper sauce, had use-by dates from 4 September to 1 October.
A spokesman said the products "should not present a risk to health if they are handled and cooked properly", but said consumers should contact the company or retailer if they had concerns.
He added: "Food Standards Scotland is working closely with Highland Game, who have confirmed that they have taken immediate precautionary action."
A spokeswoman for Highland Game said a full inspection of the Dundee premises had been undertaken and "every assistance" given to FSS.
She said: "This is a very rare incident and venison has an excellent track record of safety and standards, and there is no substantiated evidence to support the actual source of the outbreak.
"Our stringent hygiene controls at Highland Game are second to none, however as with all meats there can be a risk of contamination somewhere in the food chain."
Stephen Gibbs, chairman of the Scottish Venison Partnership, added: "We believe this is an isolated, rogue incident in an industry that has an exemplary record in terms of food safety.
"Consumers should have every confidence in continuing to eat venison - but we cannot stress enough that storage and cooking instructions should be carefully followed exactly, as with any other meat product, as well as good personal hygiene in relation to food preparation."
Gintare Suminaite's baby was the result of a secret affair and she kept her pregnancy hidden, the Old Bailey heard.
Suminaite, of Bognor Regis, denied murder but admitted infanticide as she was mentally disturbed by giving birth. The 30-year-old had suffered significant blood loss and an injury.
Mr Justice Nicol said her circumstances were "tragic in themselves".
He sentenced Suminaite, who had spent 298 days on remand, to a 24-month community order with a rehabilitation requirement order.
"You were overwhelmed by the stress of your situation and in a state of partial denial during the pregnancy," he told her.
"At the time of giving birth you were in a state of extreme anxiety and panic."
The court heard Suminaite kept her pregnancy hidden from the authorities and her long-term partner, with whom she already had a child.
She planned to run away with her lover, a fellow Lithuanian, but did not want to be separated from her child and he went alone.
On 5 April last year, she left work early saying she had "big problems", and gave birth.
Her partner, who had been in another room in their Aldwick Road home, found her lying bleeding and pale in the bathroom surrounded by blood and a baby bath full of what appeared to be clothes.
He called an ambulance but the child lay undiscovered as medics initially did not spot the body in the baby bath.
Ambulance staff and police later returned to find the baby hidden in wet towels with a ligature around her neck, prosecutor Ed Brown QC said.
After her arrest, Suminaite said she did not know why she strangled her baby.
The court heard she had been emotionally and socially isolated during her life in England.
Her former boyfriend has cut all ties, but Suminaite remained in contact with her lover who has returned to England.
Suminaite appeared in court by videolink from Bronzefield jail. | Somali forces backed by African Union (AU) troops have retaken another key stronghold from Islamist militants al-Shabab as part of a renewed offensive.

The first minister was speaking at Stanford University in California as she continued her five-day US trip.
Ms Sturgeon also urged the UK government to recognise the "right" of Scots to decide their own future.
Opposition parties said she was trying to build support for a referendum which the majority of Scots did not want.
The Scottish Parliament last week voted to back the first minister's call for talks to take place with the UK government over a second independence referendum.
But the UK government has already declined Ms Sturgeon's request to be given the powers to hold a legally-binding independence referendum before the Brexit process is complete.
It has argued that the focus should instead be on getting the best deal for the whole of the UK in the forthcoming negotiations with the EU - with the prime minister repeatedly saying "now is not the time" for another vote on independence.
Voters in Scotland rejected independence by 55% to 45% in September 2014.
Ms Sturgeon used her speech to highlight the global role an independent Scotland could have, stressing it would remain an "open, outward-looking and inclusive" nation that would continue to welcome people from across the world.
It would also seek to "build partnerships around the world", including with governments, businesses and universities, she said.
Ms Sturgeon said the Brexit vote in June 2016 posed a "fundamental question for Scotland", saying the country now faces an "exit against our will from the largest trading block in the world, at the hand of a UK government prioritising curbs on immigration above all else".
The alternative to this is independence, with its "opportunities and challenges", she said, claiming this would give Scotland "the freedom to be an equal partner with the other nations of the UK and Europe and with countries across the world".
The first minister added: "Independence, combined with equal partnership, is the best way for us to build a fairer society at home and to make a positive contribution to the world.
"However that is something which will be debated and discussed across Scotland as we move forward. The immediate point that the UK government must recognise is that the people of Scotland have the right to make that choice."
The SNP leader accepted some people "understandably are reluctant" to hold another vote on the issue so soon after the first one, but also claimed Mrs May's refusal to grant permission for a second referendum was "not a sustainable position".
She added: "It is a bit of a holding position just now. There will be another referendum on Scottish independence, of that I am fairly certain."
While the legislation that created the Scottish Parliament reserved powers over constitutional issues to the UK, Ms Sturgeon argued that "is quite a vague term" and said the issue had never been tested in court.
The first minister sketched out a political philosophy here which used to be very popular.
The vision she described at Stanford University was of an open country which uses the fruits of trade to help everyone in society.
The free movement of people and goods was, Nicola Sturgeon claimed, particularly important for a small country like Scotland.
But immigration and trade must go hand-in-hand with a more caring economic model, she argued, in a speech which cited as an example "Rhine Capitalism", the co-operation between workers, firms and government which produced such remarkable success for the economy of post-war Germany.
In essence Ms Sturgeon was arguing that the election of President Trump in the United States and Brexit in Europe were symptoms rather than solutions.
The extent to which voters in Scotland agree or disagree with the first minister's assessment and philosophy may play a role in determining whether or not her country eventually becomes independent.
The first minister also used the speech to set out her views on the challenges and opportunities of globalisation, migration and climate change.
The event, which was billed as discussing Scotland's place in the world, came on the second day of Ms Sturgeon's visit to California.
On Monday she signed a climate change agreement with the state's governor, Jerry Brown.
Ms Sturgeon is to spend a total of five days in the US, with the aim of "promoting trade and investment, boosting tourism, sharing best practice across the public and private sector and promoting Scottish innovation and entrepreneurship".
As well as Mr Brown, she has already met senior executives from Apple and Tesla, but will not be meeting anyone from President Donald Trump's administration.
She will be in New York on Wednesday, where she will give a speech at the United Nations headquarters, before completing her trip on Friday.
Responding to Ms Sturgeon's speech, John Lamont of the Scottish Conservatives said it was a "great shame that she has chosen to use her taxpayer-funded trip to America to promote independence, and an unwanted referendum."
He added: "She may be representing the SNP in doing so - but she does not represent mainstream Scottish opinion."
Scottish Labour's James Kelly said Ms Sturgeon should use foreign trips to represent the interests of all the people of Scotland, rather than "trying to build up support for a second referendum that the majority here don't want".
And Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie accused Ms Sturgeon of using California as the next stop in her "global grievance tour". | Independence would offer Scotland the best way of making a positive contribution to the world, Nicola Sturgeon has claimed. | 39,489,107 | 1,141 | 26 | false |

It said the new structure would reflect a "schools within schools" model, each with separate heads and staff responsible for all aspects of a child's teaching and progression.
The new structure is due to be in place when the academy's new campus at Maritime House, Southwell, opens in September.
Governors have agreed to 21 posts being made redundant as part of the reorganisation, equating to 15 full time members of staff. Two are teaching or senior leadership roles, the remainder being teaching assistants and support staff posts.
A consultation with staff and trade unions over the changes began last year.
The academy, for four to 19-year-olds, replaced four of the island's schools when it opened in September 2012.
The men, aged 29, 30, 36 and 46, were arrested at houses in Ballymena and Coleraine on Wednesday.
Police said they were detained as part of an investigation into people who "appear to have extreme right-wing views about tensions in north eastern Europe".
The men have been released pending a report to the PPS.
Last year, the BBC released an image of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in character as the detective and his assistant in Victorian clothing.
It led fans to speculate whether the special would be set in the past, or if the pair were merely dressing up.
But Moffat told Entertainment Weekly it would be an historical adventure that stood alone from the main series.
"The special is its own thing. We wouldn't have done the story we're doing, and the way we're doing it, if we didn't have this special," he said.
"It's not part of the run of three episodes. So we had this to do it - as we could hardly conceal - it's Victorian."
Moffat added filming had been completed on the special and he was "very pleased" with the result.
The BBC has yet to confirm when it will be broadcast.
Meanwhile, Sherlock co-creator and star Mark Gatiss has said he based his character, Mycroft, on the British Labour Party politician Peter Mandelson.
"It was explicit even before I was going to play him," he told the Radio Times.
"Steven... and I talked about how Mandelsonian Mycroft was. Conan Doyle says Mycroft is the British government. He's the power behind the throne."
Gattiss is playing Mandelson for real in the new Channel 4 drama, Coalition, which airs on Thursday. 26 March.
The one-off special charts the turmoil that followed 2010's General Election, as the three main parties scrambled to form a coalition government.
It also stars Bertie Carvel as Nick Clegg, Ian Grieve as Gordon Brown and Mark Dexter as David Cameron.
Earlham Park Cafe was initially told it would have to close on 23 and 24 May for "safety" reasons.
About 50,000 music fans are expected to attend the event, which will feature Taylor Swift and Years & Years.
Norwich City Council said it had "reached an agreement" with the cafe to allow it to trade over the weekend.
A spokeswoman said: "The whole of Norwich is looking forward to some great music and we hope they enjoy a very busy trading weekend."
Ingrid Henry, who runs the cafe, said she was overwhelmed by the support they received.
"We had a phenomenal outpouring of support from local businesses, our customers, and the people who use Earlham Park who really thought we should be allowed to open and trade for that weekend," she said.
"We are very pleased that Norwich City Council and Radio 1 are going to allow us to trade for the weekend."
The stations' broadcasting hours are being extended significantly but many programmes will be shown at the same time on both stations.
The duration of their flagship local magazine shows will be cut but there will be extended local news coverage.
STV says the stations have performed in line with its expectations.
STV Glasgow and Edinburgh are part of a growing chain of local TV stations in the UK.
STV was the only major broadcaster to apply for local TV licences - the rest all went to brand new companies, and some have failed to get on the air.
The company - which runs the stations in conjunction with Glasgow Caledonian and Napier Universities - has always insisted the stations were not a backdoor "STV2".
However sceptics, who were surprised to see an established broadcaster get the local licences, may see the changes as a move in that direction.
STV could point to the remaining local programming aimed purely at each area, the news, and opportunities for local advertisers as evidence to the contrary.
Sceptics in the industry across the UK have questioned how big the demand for local TV really is and whether it will ever prove commercially viable.
The new schedule will see both STV Glasgow and STV Edinburgh on air from 07:00 on weekdays and 09:00 at the weekend.
At present they start broadcasting in the middle of the afternoon.
In the morning they will show children's programmes from STV's archives.
There will also be hourly local news bulletins from midday onwards, with 30-minute bulletins at 18:00, 20:00 and 22:00.
The nightly magazine shows - the Riverside Show in Glasgow and the Fountainbridge Show in Edinburgh - will normally last one hour instead of 90 minutes.
But a range of new local programmes covering topics such as history, cookery and music will be shown at 20:30.
Bobby Hain, director of channels at STV, said: "City TV is a long-term commitment for STV and the enhanced schedules that will be launched in early March support our strategy to deliver relevant content to consumers across Scotland.
"Both city TV channels have delivered in line with expectations since launch and the extended hours and enhanced news offering allows us to align the schedules on both channels so we offer the best possible service for our audiences."
STV Glasgow broadcasts to a potential audience of two million viewers in the west of Scotland and STV Edinburgh has a potential reach of one million viewers in the east.
However, as expected, the audiences for individual programmes are modest compared to STV's main channel.
Figures from the ratings body BARB show that most programmes get less than 10,000 viewers.
More than 100 students from the two universities have gained experience with the channels.
The result means they are now three points off Group B leaders FUS Rabat and two points behind the other Moroccan side, second placed Kawkab Marrakech.
Only the group winners and runners-up will qualify for the semi-finals.
After a barren first half in Sousse, Etoile found their stride after the break.
Alaya Brigui scored twice - in the 57th and 68th minutes - before a goal from Ahmed Akaichi sealed maximum points.
The result keeps Etoile in the hunt for a place in the last four, following FUS Rabat's 3-1 win away to fellow Moroccans Kawkab Marrakech on Friday night which put FUS top of the table.
Until Friday, Kawkab Marrakech had won all five of their Caf home matches this year, and the defeat to their Moroccan rivals relegated them to second in Group B.
Youssef El Gnaoui put FUS Rabat ahead early on from the penalty spot, with Mohamed El Fakih also hitting a first-half penalty to level the score at 1-1.
Second half goals from captain Abdessalam Benjelloun and Mohamed Fouzair put FUS Rabat in firm control as they secured a well earned victory.
On Sunday, there was one Group A match with favourites TP Mazembe maintaining their unbeaten run with a goalless draw at Mouloudia Bejaia of Algeria.
That means DR Congo giants Mazembe have seven points from three games so far, and seem certain to take one of the places in the last four.
In the other Group A match, Tanzania's Young Africans were held to a 1-1 draw by Ghanaian side Medeama on Saturday - a result which did little for either side's hopes of progressing out of the group.
Scoring had been a problem for both teams, but it took just three minutes for the deadlock to be broken, when Donald Ngoma struck first for the hosts in Dar es Salaam.
Medeama got their equaliser sixteen minutes later through Bernard Ofiri.
It means those with the older devices will no longer receive software or security updates.
The iPhone 5S and newer devices will receive the upgrade but some older apps will no longer work afterwards.
The news is the result of Apple's decision to end support for devices and apps using 32-bit processors.
Apple has been making devices with 64-bit processors rather than 32-bit processors since 2013, when it introduced them with the iPhone 5S and the iPad Air.
Apps that only run in 32-bit will not show up in search results in the new version of the App Store, or be available from the Purchased tab if they have been downloaded previously.
A 64-bit processor can handle vastly more data at once - four billion times as much - as a 32-bit processor, which can help make it faster in use.
"Apple has been warning of this migration to its 64-bit hardware for a number of years, but this news will still undoubtedly blindside a number of its customers, " Ernest Doku, a telecoms expert at uSwitch.com told the BBC.
"Most apps from the last four years or so should be compatible, unless they haven't been updated since 2015."
When Apple released iOS 10.1 in October 2016, users trying to open a 32-bit app on an updated device would receive a warning message telling them that it may slow down their iPhone.
The update to iOS 10.3 included a tool to detect apps that cannot run in 64-bit mode.
Affected apps will be listed under Settings > General > About > Applications > App Compatibility.
All new apps and updates to existing apps have had to support 64-bit since June 2015, so any that have been updated in the past two years should be unaffected.
But some popular games and educational apps have not been updated since the 64-bit requirement was introduced.
They include titles from Fisher Price and WeeWorld, creators of the WeeMe avatar app.
Apple is also starting to phase out 32-bit support for the Mac, telling developers at WWDC that Mac OS High Sierra would be the last to have 32-bit capability "without compromises".
From June 2018, all new apps submitted to the Mac app store will need to support 64-bit, and from June 2018 updates to existing apps must also be 64-bit compatible.
He had been challenged by former Plaid Cymru leader Ieuan Wyn Jones, who came third after the Conservatives.
Elsewhere Plaid's Hywel Williams narrowly retained Arfon by less than 100 votes and colleague Liz Saville Roberts held Dwyfor Meirionnydd.
The Tories' Guto Bebb held on to Aberconwy.
Mr Owen, who had his biggest majority since he was first elected in 2001, said: "I think there's been a miscalculation by the prime minister and she's misread the mood of the country and the mood was reflected here on Anglesey by people who wanted to talk about the issues of health, education, the economy and various other things."
He said a number of young people had registered with Labour for the first time wanting to help with their campaign.
"One of the things I'm going to do as the MP now is to get a youth forum and crystallise that enthusiasm... so young people's voices get heard loud and clear in Westminster," he said.
Speaking about his Arfon win by a small majority, Hywel Williams said: "That's what happens when you have a presidential election run by both large parties on a May versus Corbyn basis. The third party gets squeezed.
"What's significant about this seat is that we won, with a small majority but our vote remains stable."
Mr Bebb said he was relieved to hold Aberconwy, with a 635 majority over Labour.
"I'll be perfectly frank, I never thought we were going to have the 10% lead that YouGov predicted at the start of this campaign," he said, "but I also never expected to be looking at such a tight results in Aberconwy and losses in other parts of Wales so it's really a disappointing night for the Conservatives in Wales."
He said it was premature to talk about mistakes but said something quite complex and interesting had happened.
"I think there's something more fundamental going on," he added.
Under the policy, the US has formal ties with China rather than the island of Taiwan, which China sees as a breakaway province.
This principle has been crucial to US-China relations for decades.
But Mr Trump said he saw no reason why this should continue without key concessions from Beijing.
His comments prompted an angry response from Chinese state media. An editorial in the Global Times warned him that the "One China policy cannot be traded".
It comes after he took a phone call from Taiwan's president, sparking a diplomatic row and a formal protest from Beijing.
It was in 1979 that the US broke formal diplomatic ties with the self-ruled island of Taiwan and switched recognition to China, ushering in a new era of deepening ties.
But even though formal diplomatic relations were broken, the US has maintained close unofficial ties with Taiwan over the years.
In the interview, broadcast by Fox News on Sunday, Mr Trump said: "I don't know why we have to be bound by a One China policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things, including trade."
Mr Trump also said China was not co-operating with the US on its handling of its currency, on North Korea, or on tensions in the South China Sea.
No US president or president-elect had spoken directly to a Taiwanese leader for decades. But in the Fox interview, Mr Trump said it was not up to Beijing to decide whether he should take a call from Taiwan's leader.
"I don't want China dictating to me and this was a call put into me," Mr Trump said. "It was a very nice call. Short. And why should some other nation be able to say I can't take a call?
"I think it actually would've been very disrespectful, to be honest with you, not taking it."
In the same interview, Mr Trump said he "doesn't believe" a CIA assessment that Russian hackers tried to sway the US presidential election in his favour.
His comments prompted an angry editorial in Chinese state media outlet Global Times, known for its hawkish rhetoric.
Titled "Mr Trump please listen clearly: The One China policy cannot be traded", it labelled Mr Trump's move "a very childish rash act" and said he needed "to humbly learn about diplomacy".
It also called for a strong response, saying: "China must resolutely battle Mr Trump, only after a few serious rebuffs then will he truly understand that China and other global powers cannot be bullied."
China has so far been restrained in its official responses to Mr Trump, choosing instead to stress the importance of Sino-US ties.
Its foreign ministry has said it would not comment on his tweets, although it has labelled the Trump-Tsai phone call a "petty trick" by Taiwan.
Outlines of a strategy? Analysis by John Sudworth, BBC News, Beijing
Well it's not as if Donald Trump didn't tell us he was going to be tough on China.
Now, though, we are getting what looks like the outline of a strategy: the use of Taiwan as a bargaining chip.
It's a bold - some would say reckless - gambit, given that for China there is nothing vaguely negotiable about the island's status.
So far, at each stage - from Mr Trump's campaign rhetoric, to his protocol-breaching phone call with the Taiwanese president - China has been measured in its response, daring to hope that it has all been based on bluster or miscalculation.
That may now begin to change, with the blow-hard state-run tabloid, The Global Times, true to form in being the first to up the ante, with the talk of retaking Taiwan by force, or of arming America's foes.
We'll know soon enough whether Beijing's official rhetoric will follow suit.

On the High Street, the NatWest brand will remain in England and Wales, while in Scotland it will be known as RBS.
The bank, which is still 73% owned by the taxpayer, must "ring-fence" its retail bank by 2019 under new rules.
The new structure "will better reflect who we are as a bank", said chief executive Ross McEwan.
The NatWest Markets name was last used by NatWest securities, but scrapped when the bank was taken over by RBS at the turn of the century.
The bank is being forced to act under new rules designed to avoid a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis.
"Our proposed future structure under the ring-fencing legislation and our brand strategy are key elements of the bank we are becoming," said Mr McEwan.
It is in the process of selling off its 300 RBS branches in England and Wales to meet European Commission rules, which will leave it with just the NatWest brand south of the border.
Eventually, the moves will leave it with 1,050 NatWest branches in England and Wales and 200 RBS branches in Scotland.
Its UK rivals are undergoing similar separations, with Barclays, for instance, splitting its business into two divisions to comply with the new rules.
His ascension marks a new era of Liberal politics after an election that saw Stephen Harper's party ousted.
Mr Trudeau, 43, follows in the footsteps of his father who held the office for nearly two decades.
The move could see an increase in public spending, better relations with the US and an increase in the number of Syrian refugees being taken in.
Mr Trudeau whispered "I love you" to his family upon being sworn in.
The new ministers, who are are mostly aged between 35 and 50, took their oaths in the bilingual ceremony.
Trudeau's cabinet features an equal number of women and men, with the new PM touting his team's diversity.
After the ceremony, a reporter asked Mr Trudeau why having a gender-balanced cabinet was so important.
The prime minister replied, "Because it's 2015," and then shrugged to wild applause.
The former school teacher turned politician was elected to parliament in 2008, and becomes the second youngest prime minister in Canadian history.
He was elected after running on a plan to reject austerity and spend billions on infrastructure projects that would see Canada run a deficit for three years.
The plan caught the attention of a Canadian electorate hungry for change after a decade under the rule of Prime Minister Harper.
Mr Harper's political platform included plans that saw corporate and sales tax rates cut as well as Canada's removal from a climate change agreement.
The conservative prime minister was also angered by Mr Obama's reluctance to approve the Keystone XL pipeline that was designed to transport petroleum from Alberta to Texas.
For his part, Mr Trudeau believes the pipeline should be approved, but does not think that that the disagreement should weigh so heavily on US-Canada relations.
Several weddings between Sikhs and non-Sikhs have been disrupted in recent weeks by protesters who say the ceremony should be for Sikhs only.
The Sikh Council (UK) argues that the Sikh wedding ceremony, or Anand Karaj, should be reserved only for Sikhs.
But many in the Sikh community disagree with this ruling, saying Sikhism teaches equality and acceptance.
The Sikh Council hosted a meeting of Sikh representatives from across the UK on Sunday to discuss solutions to the tensions.
This included drawing up a voluntary "code of conduct" designed to address any uncertainties around mixed marriages in the Sikh community.
Marrying people of other faiths is acceptable, they said, but marrying them in a Sikh temple is not.
A BBC Asian Network investigation had previously found that Sikh weddings were regularly disrupted by protesters opposed to mixed-faith marriages in Sikh temples, called Gurdwaras.
The meeting called for the protests to stop for six months to "allow education processes, programmes and resources" to be developed and implemented by Gurdwaras.
Navraj Singh, who attended the meeting, says the protesters do not want to break anyone's hearts, but Sikh scriptures say there is a code of conduct laid down by the Gurus, which needs to be upheld.
The Sikh Council says only Sikhs can take part in the Sikh wedding ceremony.
Non-Sikhs can only be involved if they accept the Sikh faith and change their name to include Singh or Kaur.
"If somebody really passionately wants to have an Anand Karaj they have to accept that the long-established code of conduct for Sikhs clearly states only a Sikh can be wedded by the Anand Karaj", said Gurinder Singh Josan, from the Sikh Council.
People of other faiths are welcome in Sikh temples and can attend blessings for their wedding there, Shamsher Singh of the National Sikh Youth Federation told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme.
Sikh scholar Davinder Panesar says, "If the Gurus don't accept division in faith, caste or gender, why is it being enforced on the Sikh community? It doesn't make sense and contradicts Sikh teachings."
The proposals put forward by the Sikh Council are voluntary. It is up to the Gurdwaras if they implement them.
But Navraj Singh is not sure everyone will follow the guidelines.
"I can envisage there are going to be some Gurdwaras who say we're going to do what we want. I can still envisage some protests happening at these places of worship, people who chose not to follow the Sikh Council," he said.
The boy has been named locally as 17-year-old Ronan Hughes from Coalisland.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland said they were investigating the circumstances of his "sudden death" in his home town on Friday.
PSNI officers have also issued advice to young people about the need to be careful when using the internet.
Mid-Ulster district commander Supt Mike Baird warned them not to share personal information online with strangers.
He described the boy's death as "tragic".
"Officers have spoken to pupils at a school in the area and offered advice regarding safe internet use and any type of virtual interaction including social media sites, chatrooms and through interactive games," Supt Baird said.
"If anyone has experienced anything of a similar nature or has received any inappropriate images or links, it is important that they contact police or tell a trusted adult."
Ronan Hughes was a pupil at St Joseph's Grammar in Donaghmore, County Tyrone, and was also a talented Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) player.
His head teacher, Geraldine Donnelly, published a statement on the school's website expressing sadness at the "untimely death of our dear pupil".
"Ronan's family have been heartened by the outpouring of support and sympathy in the last number of days. Together with Ronan's family, we want to try and protect other families from experiencing their terrible grief," Ms Donnelly said.
The head teacher outlined the steps that her staff and other agencies were taking to support pupils affected by the tragedy.
A team of counsellors has been called into the school and will be available from Tuesday onwards - the day the schoolboy's funeral is set to take place.
A PSNI community liaison officer and other professionals will visit the school to offer advice on how to keep safe online.
The teenager was a member of Clonoe O'Rahilly's GAA Club in County Tyrone and in a statement, they said they were "shocked and saddened" by his death.
They described him as a "quiet and modest young lad who was popular among all players and coaches".
"His death has left a dark shadow hanging over our club," they added.
In his appeal, Supt Baird urged young people to report inappropriate contacts on social media, saying: "By doing this you will be helping prevent further such incidents. You will not get into trouble."
The PSNI issued the following online safety guidance to the public:
Brusthom Ziamani, 19, had a rucksack containing a 12in knife, a hammer and an "Islamic flag" when he was held on a street in east London in August 2014.
He idolised the killers of Fusilier Lee Rigby, researched Army cadet base sites and told an ex-girlfriend of a plan to "kill soldiers", the court was told.
Mr Ziamani, of Camberwell, London, denies preparing an act of terrorism.
Jurors heard Mr Ziamani had converted to Islam in early 2014 and his arrest came after he had shown the former girlfriend the weapons and described Fusilier Rigby's killer Michael Adebolajo as a "legend".
Prosecutor Annabel Darlow told the court: "He didn't say anything when he was arrested but he was remanded and told a security officer that he had been on his way to kill a British soldier at an Army barracks when he had been arrested.
"He said that he was going to behead the soldier and hold that soldier's head up in the air so that a friend could take a photograph.
"You may think that his aim was to emulate the dubious feats of his hero Michael Adebolajo, who had murdered a British soldier close to the Woolwich barracks where he worked."
The jury heard Mr Ziamani also put posts on Facebook under the name Mujahid Karim, supporting Sharia law and stating he was "willing to die in the cause of Allah".
Mr Ziamani is charged with preparing an act of terrorism on or before 20 August 2014.
Mr Ziamani had previously been arrested in June 2014, the court heard.
The court was told that on 20 June he had searched the internet for "Camberwell Army cadets" and for cadets in Lewisham.
Jurors also heard he had looked at the website of the London Irish Rifles Association and found details of the Army Cadet Force in Blackheath.
After this arrest police found a letter in his jeans addressed to his "beloved parents" saying he was a "changed person".
He wrote of being martyred and going to paradise and referenced people being raped, tortured and killed in Iraq and Syria, saying he had a "duty" to help them.
He wrote: "Because I have no means ov gettin there I will wage war against the british government on this soil the british government will have a taste of there own medicine they will be humiliated this is ISIB Islamic State of Ireland and Britain.
"Now we will take a thousand ov yours then ten thousand and send you all to the hell-fire you want war you got it British soldiers heads will be removed and burned u cannot defeat the Muslims we love to die the way you love to live my fellow muslim brothers these people want war lets kill them slaughter them and implement sharia in our lands and UK."
He went on: "Lee Rigby is burnin in hell im dying good for him this is what you get for voting Cameron and democracy."
He told police he looked up to radical preachers including Abu Hamza and Anjem Choudary, but denied he was planning an attack.
He was later released on bail and spoken to in July by engagement officers from the anti-radicalisation Prevent programme.
The court heard Mr Ziamani was unresponsive and said he "did not need help with his religion" and had left the home of his Christian family.
Mr Ziamani continued to post extremist material on Facebook, including a photo of six severed heads, the court head.
The jury, of eight women and four men, also heard he researched the murder of Fusilier Rigby, reading news articles about the attack and Adebolajo.
The prosecution said Mr Ziamani identified with Adebolajo, as he was also a convert from a Christian family.
His arrest on 19 August 2014 came three days after he got back in touch with his former girlfriend.
Giving evidence from behind a screen, the former girlfriend told the court Mr Ziamani had turned up at her home several times and showed her the hammer and knife wrapped in the flag.
She said: "I asked why he had these and he said 'me and the brothers are planning a terrorist attack'. I said what, like a bomb or something and he said 'no, a soldier or a member of government."'
The jury was told their relationship had ended after he converted to Islam and began wearing Islamic clothing.
"He said things like when the Lee Rigby murder happened, he respected the people that had done it," she told the court.
Cross examined by defence barrister Naeem Mian, she agreed with the suggestion that Mr Ziamani was someone who sometimes "made things up".
She added she did not call police after Mr Ziamani left her home, telling them about what he had said when officers turned up after the arrest.
The 25-year-old New South Wales left-hander was hit on the top of the neck by a short delivery from Sean Abbott on Monday while batting for South Australia in a Sheffield Shield match.
In Australia, cricket writers are shocked at the young talent's sudden death.
Most feel Australia has lost a "true gentleman" and a promising player.
"Hughes was one of the most exciting prospects Australian cricket had seen for years," writes Jonathan Healy on ABC website.
"After a number of high-profile retirements, Australia had not quite come to grips with the fact that the golden age was over and Hughes was earmarked to lead the next generation of stars."
The Courier Mail says no other tragic incident in Australian sports has caused "more widespread grief than this heartbreaking tale of a strong-willed young cricketer".
"An impish cricketer with a warm, cheeky grin who had no enemies in the game, Hughes will forever be remembered as one of the game's most likeable characters," the paper says.
"His quirky home-made technique fashioned on the family banana farm in Macksville made him a captivating study of originality and hand-eye co-ordination."
Beyond his amazing "hand-eye co-ordination" and "subtle footwork", most writers are unanimous in their praise for Hughes' character.
"Loved by everybody in the cricket community and a close friend of captain Michael Clarke, the batsman's fate has stunned the game," sports pundit Peter Lalor writes in The Australian.
Sports expert Malcolm Knox writes in The Age that Hughes will be best remembered for his unique style and his demeanour as "a low-key country boy".
"Phillip Hughes was an unforgettable cricketer, a personality cricketer: a little battler who was also thrilling to watch, a low-key country boy who expressed himself on the field with a uniquely flamboyant style," he writes.
English papers too are shocked by the elegant left-hander's tragic death.
Russell Jackson of The Guardian says Hughes seemed "destined for greatness at a young age". "It was a level of expectation and pressure that Hughes wore with humility and a path for which he prepared himself diligently," he adds.
In South Asia, Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar has led tributes for Hughes.
"Shocked to hear about Phil. Sad day for cricket," Tendulkar tweeted.
Sandipan Sharma writes in the Firstpost website that Hughes' "unfortunate death... once again reminds us of the dangers of playing any game, even cricket, where the batsmen often walk out protected from head to toe like warriors".
In Pakistan, batsman Shahid Afridi has paid his "heartfelt condolences to the family of Australian cricketer Phil Hughes on the sad demise".

The knowledge of how to craft and design these intricate pieces takes as long as 10 years to amass, and has been handed on from one generation to another, with artisans today working in much the same way as their predecessors two centuries before.
It is in this workshop - which once made all Napoleon's official jewellery including his coronation crown - where all the special order and top collections are made.
Making a product for this market is painstaking and time consuming work. A single piece, such as a necklace or tiara, typically takes six hundred to 1,000 hours to make, but can take as long as 2,000 hours depending on the quality of the stones used.
In the past, Mr Bourdariat says the company, now owned by LVMH the world's largest luxury goods group, spent a year making just one necklace.
The skills required to make unique masterpieces such as these, however, are at risk of disappearing in this modern age of mass production.
Mr Bourdariat estimates the number of craftspeople making such products in Paris has halved over the past two decades as a result of falling demand. He says this has led to a shortage of certain skills, without which it's impossible to make this kind of jewellery, such as moulding, setting stones and polishing.
LVMH, which alongside Chaumet owns some 70 luxury brands including Louis Vuitton, Dior and Givenchy, last year set up a training scheme - called "L'Institut des Métiers d'Excellence" - aimed at addressing the skills gap, taking on 28 paid apprentices in different areas of its businesses.
The scheme aims to transmit its "savoir-faire" to the next generation "not only for LVMH's needs but also for the jobs, the art, the craft in itself," says Chantal Gaemperle, vice president of human resources and synergies at LVMH.
"We wanted to make sure that we will still have the craft that we need in the next 10 years. It's one of the ways to make sure that we fill the pipeline of talent, but also we don't lose the craft of very specific know-how in the different metier."
Firms in the UK have done similar. British handbag maker Mulberry, for example, has been running an 18 month apprenticeship course, comprising a leather skills NVQ and technical certificate with a local college, since 2006. As a result, it says it now has a waiting list of young people wanting to join its production line team.
Firms are wise to act. The luxury sector, which includes high end cars, wine and clothing, is one of Europe's most important industries, worth some 17% of Europe's total merchandise exports in 2013, according to industry lobby group the European Cultural and Creative Industries Alliance (ECCIA).
And increasingly where something is made and how it is made are important factors for consumers when they make a purchasing decision.
ECCIA president Michael Ward says 80% of people look at a product's label first to see where it has been made.
"If we look at what's driving the luxury market; it's about craftmanship, originality and tradition. It's all about adding value. How many stitches in a Fendi bag, how long does it take to train a weaver, for example, are all hugely important in terms of the product proposition."
It's also become an increasingly important issue for one of the biggest purchasers of high end goods - those in emerging markets. When my friend Simran, a Malaysian lawyer in her late thirties, visited London for work her first stop was the Mulberry shop.
Although she could buy Mulberry bags in Malaysia, they were more expensive there, and she wanted what she considered something quintessentially British, bought in the country it was made in. A souvenir from her travels but one that she was also certain her friends would appreciate and understand the value of.
Fflur Roberts, head of luxury goods at Euromonitor, says Simran's behaviour is typical.
"We're seeing a complete shift as emerging markets mature. They want to look at the label and see that it is made in the country of origin. Even if they can buy it in their home country, there are concerns over authenticity. Coming back from wherever you've been and showing off what you've bought goes with the theatre of the brand."
Yet despite the apparent glamour of the industry, recruiting people within the brand's home country to make the products can be difficult, even with the eurozone's stubbornly high youth unemployment rate, 22.9% at its most recent reading.
Elisabeth Ponsolle des Portes, the president and chief executive of French luxury goods association Comité Colbert, says many parents try to steer their children away from manual jobs, a trend it is trying to fight.
The body has fought hard to ensure official government recognition for the design houses preserving the skills involved, and it is now trying to get across the message that these skills can offer long term, rewarding careers.
"Our challenge is to show how far these trades are linked to innovation and creativity. They are not just hollow reproductions of old forms. They benefit from the knowledge of the past, but are completely in tune with the present."
Those who doubt it should speak to some of those currently learning the necessary skills.
LVMH apprentice Maxim Fradin says he is proud to work with his hands, likening his work to that of a musician. "It's the repetition of gestures, hours and hours of rehearsal work and then arriving at a convincing final excellence; the perfect object," he explains.
David Law, 33, died in hospital after an incident at his home in Lichfield Down, Walnut Tree, on 5 September.
Suresh Nahar, of Gurnards Avenue, Milton Keynes, appeared before Luton Crown Court via video link from Woodhill Prison in Milton Keynes.
He denied the murder charge and the case was adjourned for a hearing at the same court on 19 December.
Post-mortem tests found Mr Law died from stab wounds.
In an unusual pitch, the company says buyers will be able to exchange the titanium-cased device for a mechanical counterpart after two years if they pay an additional fee.
One expert said the company was "smart" to offer its customers a Plan B.
However, he added, its use of Google's OS could limit its appeal.
"It will only work with iOS handsets to a limited extent - to show messages and do basic things - but as soon as you want to add additional apps from the Android Wear store, you need to be on the Android platform," said Alexander Linz, from the Watch-Insider news site.
"That's a big disadvantage because a lot of people who buy luxury products use iPhones and not Android technology."
Tag Heuer is the first of the high-end Swiss watchmakers to sell what most people would recognise as a fully functional smartwatch.
However, other Swiss brands - including Breitling and Mondaine - have shown off mechanical models that wirelessly communicate with smartphones.
Tag Heuer has indicated it intends to highlight its 155-year-old history to help sell its device.
However, it is unable to brand the device "Swiss made", because the majority of its components - including an Intel processor - were made elsewhere.
The Tag Heuer Connected watch was revealed at an event in New York, eight months after it was first announced.
The device is modelled on the company's Carrera family of timepieces and comes with three digital watch faces not legally available to other Android models.
When in time mode, the display always shows its digital hands and hour markers - unlike many other models that turn off the screen to save power - and the built-in lithium battery is said to last a day between charges.
Owners are offered a range of sports-themed exclusive apps, including golf, motor-racing and trail walking-focused titles, as well as software available to other Android Wear models.
But the company's marketing campaign is focused on buyers' ability to switch to a more traditional watch at a later point.
"The Tag Heuer Connected watch gives you the means not only to connect to the future, but also to connect to eternity," said chief executive Jean-Claude Biver.
The upgrade will cost a further $1,500 and involves trading in the Connected timepiece for a special edition analogue model.
"It's very clever as it offers customers a sort of exit strategy and also provides an opportunity to attract new clients to their mechanical watches," said Mr Linz.
Apple does not offer its Watch operating system to third-parties, although it has formed a partnership with French fashion brand Hermes.
That left Tag Heuer little option but to opt for Android because of the costs of developing a new OS.
"It would be absurd, it would be arrogant to believe that we could develop our own," Mr Biver told the BBC earlier this year.
Apple has shipped about seven million smartwatches since June, according to a recent estimate, with its prices ranging up to £9,500.
By contrast, Tag Heuer is estimated to sell about 350,000 analogue watches a year.
That might suggest the LVMH-owned brand has spied an opportunity to boost sales, but one analyst said he thought the launch was more likely a defensive manoeuvre.
"Tag is one of the most sports-orientated Swiss Watch brands and it wants to protect its core business," said David Sadigh, founder of The World Watch Report.
"The Apple Watch has proved particularly popular with consumers who like sports because of the related functions it offers.
"So, Tag is making a defensive move to defend its market."
Another industry-watcher also expressed doubts.
"Its biggest hurdle is acceptance from the tech community," said Ariel Adams, editor of Ablogtowatch.
"Tag Heuer, among other luxury companies, has entered the electronics industry a number of times over the years with lukewarm products that might have been pretty and well made but were not known to compete as state-of-the-art items.
"It will also have to prove to consumers that it isn't only able to launch a tech device but to also support it with software updates and other performance enhancements over time."
The St Peter's Square stop closed in 2015 to allow construction of two sets of track and two platforms.
The expansion work forms part of a major redevelopment of the square and was funded from the £165m Second City Crossing package to build a second Metrolink line through the city centre.
A full Eccles line service will return after maintenance work this summer.
Councillor Andrew Fender, chair of the TfGM Committee, said: "Once complete, St Peter's Square will undoubtedly be the jewel in Manchester's crown."
All services through the square were halted at the end of June to allow the final stage of the building work to be completed.
Greater Manchester interim mayor Tony Lloyd said: "Although the last nine weeks have been difficult for passengers, this work will bring real benefits for residents and visitors, especially as work continues on the Second City Crossing."
Peter Cushing, from Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), said: "There is never a good time to do these things but they are vitally important to support the region's continued growth."
He thanked passengers "for bearing with us".
The square's transformation is considered a key part of the Grow project, which will see more than £1bn invested into the city centre's infrastructure by 2017.
They include bus priority measures, six new cycle routes and major rail works.
Construction work on Oxford Road in south Manchester is expected to end in early September, when only buses, bicycles, hackney carriages and emergency vehicles will be able to use it.
Brian Tynan, 30, is accused of breaking into the Co-op shop on Lawers Drive on 4 May and stealing cigarettes and alcohol.
Mr Tynan is also accused of trying to break into Size? clothing shop in Dundee's High Street on the same date.
Prosecutors also allege he stole a car from Silport Place in Carnoustie on 4 May.
Mr Tynan, of Dundee, faces a total of ten charges, including driving without a licence or insurance and stealing two sets of car keys and two handbags.
He made no plea or declaration during a hearing in private at Dundee Sheriff Court and was granted bail.
Four people were wrongly jailed for the 1974 attacks. An IRA cell later claimed responsibility but was not charged.
Belfast lawyer Chris Stanley said evidence seen at the National Archives that police never acted on the confessions needed to be investigated.
Surrey Police said the inquiry was not active but new leads would be reviewed.
Mr Stanley said: "We're asking for the status of any inquiry, despite the fact they said on the record it's closed."
Adding that there was "no closure in a murder investigation", he said: "There are still unanswered questions, there are still questions of accountability, there are still questions of state failing and these things don't have an historical time limit placed on them."
In a statement, Surrey Police said: "The Guildford pub bombings which took place in 1974 are not currently subject to an active investigation.
"However, should any new or fresh information come to light, this will be reviewed.
"Surrey Police co-operated fully with the public enquiry by Sir John May in 1994 and the release of any files relating to this enquiry would be a matter for the Home Office."
About 50 files from a controversial inquiry into the miscarriage of justice are open at Kew, but more than 700 remain closed.
KRW Law has begun acting for Ann McKernan, sister of Guildford Four member Gerry Conlon, after the BBC obtained six files of working papers under freedom of information legislation.
The firm believes there was an attempt to tarnish Mr Conlon's reputation.
Mr Stanley said lawyers would examine the open files and ask to see the remaining hundreds of closed files.
Transcripts of private, oral hearings carried out by Sir John May in his five-year probe into the convictions are open at the Public Record Office.
In one hearing, Sir John questioned senior police officers and said "the $64,000 question" was what steps Surrey Police took after the Balcombe Street IRA unit accepted in 1975 it had been involved.
Lawyers have also requested access to the original inquest papers.
It is among 85 proposals to emerge from a landmark inquiry into institutional abuse in the nation.
The inquiry had heard harrowing tales of abuse, which were never passed on to the relevant authorities.
The Church has indicated it will oppose altering the rules around confession.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, which began in 2013, was contacted by thousands of victims from both religious and non-religious organisations.
On Monday, it proposed wide-ranging changes to Australia's criminal justice system. The recommendations will now be put to legislators.
The report recommended that people in institutions who "know, suspect or should have suspected" a child was being abused should face criminal charges.
The issue of mandatory reporting was one of the most discussed aspects of the inquiry.
In some cases, abusers had made admissions during Church confession in the knowledge that they would not be relayed to police.
"We heard evidence that perpetrators who confessed to sexually abusing children went on to reoffend and seek forgiveness again," the report said.
"We have concluded that the importance of protecting children from child sexual abuse means that there should be no exemption from the failure to report offence for clergy in relation to information disclosed in or in connection with a religious confession."
However, Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart said the existing rules around confession should remain.
"Confession in the Catholic Church is a spiritual encounter with God through the priest," he said in a statement to the Catholic Leader.
"It is a fundamental part of the freedom of religion, and it is recognised in the law of Australia and many other countries.
"Outside of this all offences against children must be reported to the authorities, and we are absolutely committed to doing so."
Other recommendations from the inquiry included:
The commission heard that 7% of the nation's Catholic priests were accused of abusing children between 1950 and 2010.
It also heard that 1,100 abuse complaints were made against the Anglican Church of Australia between 1980 and 2015.
Mr Ryan, who agreed last week to support Mr Trump's candidacy, said he should withdraw the comments.
Mr Trump said his comments had been "misconstrued" as a broad attack on people of Mexican heritage.
The row came as Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was reported to have secured her party's nomination.
However, her rival Bernie Sanders said it was too early to call the result.
Mr Trump had said that US District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is overseeing a lawsuit against the now defunct Trump University, would not treat him fairly because he was a Mexican opposed to his plans to build a wall between the US and Mexico.
"Claiming a person can't do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. I think that should be absolutely disavowed. It's absolutely unacceptable," said Mr Ryan.

Why women can't get excited about Clinton
But Mr Ryan, the House speaker, also defended his continued backing of Mr Trump.
"We have more likelihood of getting our policies enacted with him that we do with her [Hillary Clinton]," he said.
Republican officeholders had been swallowing their doubts and falling in line behind Donald Trump in recent weeks. Now, it seems, many of those same politicians are suffering from a severe case of indigestion.
Mr Trump has made plenty of controversial statements over the course of his campaign, but the timing of his remarks on Judge Gonzalo Curiel have party stalwarts scrambling for political cover like never before. Mr Trump is their man now, and they have to answer for his actions.
The Trump campaign team had been quietly promising that the candidate was going to moderate his rhetoric to appeal to a larger swath of the electorate. Instead, it seems he's the same, unbridled man that blitzed through the Republican primaries.
That strategy won him the party's nomination, but Republicans who have been mindful of the need to expand their party's base - particularly to the growing block of Hispanic voters - are now staring down the barrel of potentially long-lasting electoral damage.
Even if Mr Trump's recent assertion that he was "misconstrued" are enough to assuage concerns for the moment, Republicans can't help but wonder what Trump-inspired conflagration will consume them next.
Donald Trump's Hispanic voter 'doomsday'
In a statement, Mr Trump said he was justified in questioning whether he was receiving a fair trial.
On Sunday Mr Trump also said it was possible a Muslim judge might be similarly biased against him because of his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country.
Senator Mark Kirk: "It is absolutely essential that we are guided by a commander-in-chief with a responsible and proper temperament, discretion and judgment. After much consideration, I have concluded that Donald Trump has not demonstrated the temperament necessary to assume the greatest office in the world."
Senator Ted Cruz: "It's inappropriate to be attacking a federal judge's race or ethnicity. You're going to have to ask Donald to explain the reason he says the things he does. I'm not going to try to do so."
Senator Marco Rubio: "That man is an American, born in the US, a judge who has earned that position. I don't think it reflects well in the Republican party. I don't think it reflects well on us as a nation. I ran for president and I warned this was going to happen."
Ohio Governor John Kasich tweeted: "Attacking judges based on their race &/or religion is another tactic that divides our country. More importantly, it is flat out wrong. @realDonaldTrump should apologize to Judge Curiel & try to unite this country."
Representative Jason Chaffetz: "People are disturbed that you would want to try to dismiss a judge based on his ethnicity."
Newt Gingrich: Mr Gingrich called the comments "inexcusable" and "one of the worst mistakes Trump has made".
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell: "I couldn't disagree more with what he had to say. I don't agree with what he had to say. This is a man who was born in Indiana. All of us came here from somewhere else."
Senator Bob Corker: "I think that he's going to have to change. I'm not talking about him necessarily changing his views, but I think that he's moving into a different phase, he's talking to the right people."
Senator Susan Collins: "Mr Trump's comments demonstrate both a lack of respect for the judicial system and the principle of separation of powers."
Senator Ben Sasse: "Public Service Announcement: Saying someone can't do a specific job because of his or her race is the literal definition of 'racism'."
The competition is expected to attract entries from policymakers, businesses and universities around the world.
He is looking for new ideas to bring more investment and a better deal for road users.
The competition asks: "How can we pay for better, safer and more reliable roads?"
Lord Wolfson says that road users pay more than £30bn to use the road network, yet only around £9bn is put back.
"The new prize is an opportunity for fresh thinking about how to tackle congestion and secure investment in a modern road network," he said.
"If we can learn from the rest of the world, or pioneer new thinking in Britain, then we can do something about delays."
This is the third time the prize has been run.
It is free to enter, with the deadline for submissions on 2 March, 2017.
The judges will consist of a panel of experts, including former chancellor, Alistair Darling.
Previous topics have been how to safely dismantle the eurozone, and how to deliver a new Garden City.
Successive governments have been accused of dragging their feet on major infrastructure investment as voters tend not to like major building projects on their doorstep.
Sir John Kingman, former permanent secretary at the Treasury and now chairman of the Wolfson Prize judging committee, said that - in competition with education and health - infrastructure projects like road improvements often miss out.
"It's full, it's slow, it's creaking," Sir John said of the UK's roads system.
"People think our roads are free, but they are not free.
"Actually road users pay a huge amount in tax and that's a very important source of revenue for the government.
"But that source of revenue is in decline.
"So the Treasury has a vested interest in finding solutions - ways out of this problem - that get us to a better place where we can have both a sustainable source of revenue for the government but also better roads for the user."
As economists warn about the possible impact of leaving the EU, investment in projects that will boost growth is becoming more urgent.

The BBC has learned 12 patients have jumped off the roof of a hospital run by Southern Health, while another has escaped twice and is currently missing.
Problems at Melbury Lodge, which treats people with severe mental health problems, have been known about for years but it is only in recent weeks - following a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection - that remedial action has been taken.
The revelations come as the chair of Southern Health announced his resignation and ahead of a CQC report to be published on Friday.
Southern Health said managing the risks posed by patients was difficult.
Of the 12 Melbury Lodge patients who managed to gain access to the roof and jump off it over the past five years, two did so in the last six months.
Neither of those two men died, but one was seriously injured.
Patients at Melbury Lodge, many of whom are detained for the safety of themselves or others, have been accessing the roof or absconding from the unit for years as a combination of staffing problems and the physical layout of the building has led to repeated problems.
Work is now under way to secure the building after the CQC demanded improvements following the inspection earlier this year.
The patient who is currently missing was sectioned under the Mental Health Act but managed to escape and flee to France.
He was discovered by police and brought back to Melbury Lodge in Winchester - only to escape again.
Concerns about Southern Health's ability to improve patient services across the trust were first raised by the regulator in 2011, according to a letter seen by BBC News.
Monitor, the precursor to NHS Improvement, hauled the management and board of Southern Health to London over concerns that the trust "may not have the leadership and management expertise within its mental health services" to make sufficient improvements while ensuring safe and effective services.
Around the same time, one director wrote to the board and management expressing concern that a "blame culture" was developing at the trust, quoting staff as feeling that: "We are reverting to carrot and stick in style and that you're either in the tent or outside."
The trust is under intense scrutiny after an official investigation found it had failed to investigate hundreds of unexpected deaths.
The CQC issued a warning notice last month and an external director has been placed at the trust by NHS Improvement.
The full CQC report is expected to severely criticise the leadership of the trust.
An official review of deaths at the trust published before Christmas blamed leadership and governance failures for the problems.
Despite mounting pressure from dozens of families, and the extent of failings at Southern Health, chief executive Katrina Percy has refused to resign.
It's understood she continues to have the support of both NHS England and NHS Improvement.
In a statement to BBC News, Southern Health said: "At all our units there is a balance to be struck between providing effective security and a therapeutic environment for our service users.
"Our staff are the most important safety feature we have, and they assess any risks associated with the building alongside understanding the risks associated with individual patients.
"These daily decisions are very challenging and occasionally we may not get it right, which is why continuous learning is so vital to how we operate."
On the issues identified in the internal documents, the trust said: "A culture of blame or 'carrot and stick' is not one that we recognise in our organisation."
Employees on in-work benefits who put aside £50 a month would get a bonus of 50% after two years - worth up to £600.
That could then be continued for another two years with account holders receiving another £600.
But Labour said the scheme was "like stealing someone's car and offering them a lift to the bus stop".
Government cuts to universal credit will make low and middle-income families worse off, said Owen Smith, the shadow work and pensions secretary.
"These cuts will mean families are going to struggle to have enough money to make it to the end of the week, let alone save for the future," he said.
The new savings scheme, known as "Help to Save", will be detailed in this week's Budget, in which Chancellor George Osborne has already warned of further spending cuts.
He said that the UK had to "act now rather than pay later" and that the UK would see cuts "equivalent to 50p in every £100" of public spending by 2020, which was "not a huge amount in the scheme of things".
Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell called for more long-term investment, specifically in skills, infrastructure and new technology, to enable the UK economy to "withstand the global headwinds".
Forecasters at the EY Item Club said Mr Osborne should "hold fire" on further spending cuts or risk worsening an expected slowdown in the UK economy.
Meanwhile, in a planned boost for low-paid workers, the national minimum wage is set to increase from October 2016.
The government said that research showed almost half of UK adults had less than £500 set aside for emergencies.
It said the "Help to Save" scheme would be open to around 3.5 million adults who received universal credit or tax credit. They would be able to withdraw the money if necessary and there would be no restrictions to how it could be used.
If the maximum amount was paid in to the scheme over four years, it would mean savings of £3,600, with £1,200 coming from the government.
Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I've made it the mission of this government to transform life chances across the country.
"That means giving hard-working people the extra support they need to fulfil their potential."
The saving accounts will come into effect by April 2018 , with consultations on how exactly it will be implemented to begin shortly after the Budget.
David Finch, senior economic analyst at the Resolution Foundation, said: "It's vital that families have savings to fall back on to cope with financial shocks, but far too many low earners are unable to save at all. The new Help to Save scheme will provide a good incentive to start."
I am currently able to save around £7 a week in my credit union account. But often have to take it out to pay larger monthly bills.
All in all I struggle massively to make ends meet from week to week and there is no way I'd be able to save and keep those savings in an account continuously through the year.
With Westminster gripped by EU referendum fervour, David Cameron's focus today is a reminder of what he'd like his final years as prime minister to be remembered for: what he called "an all-out assault on poverty" in his party conference speech last autumn.
But how do you encourage people without much money to save money? How many of the 3.5 million people eligible to take part in the scheme actually will?
I asked the government for their prediction - and they wouldn't tell me. But it did say it would cost an estimated £70m to the taxpayer over the first two years.
So let's, very roughly, play with that figure.
Let's imagine the average participant can afford to put aside £10 per month. That would entitle them to £120 from the government after two years.
£70m pounds would allow ministers to give just under 600,000 people £120 - or one in six of those entitled to join the scheme.
The new levels of the national minimum wage were also announced.
For 21 to 24-year-olds it will rise from £6.70 to £6.95 an hour, while 18 to 20-year-olds will see it go up from £5.30 to £5.55 an hour.
For 16 to 17-year-olds it will increase from £3.87 to £4 an hour, while apprentices will receive a 10p increase to £3.40 an hour.
Under the National Living Wage, announced last year, workers over 25 will receive a minimum of £7.20 an hour from April.
French media reports had linked the 30-year old, who is currently on international duty, with a switch to the Top 14.

A Scarlets spokesperson told BBC Wales Sport that while no details had been agreed, talks are underway on extending Owens' stay at Parc y Scarlets.
Owens joined the Scarlets in 2004 and his current contact expires in the summer.
While the hooker remains with Wales' for Saturday's Six Nations game against England, Scarlets resume their Pro12 campaign away to Glasgow on Friday.
Pivac said a week of rest has enabled the region to prioritise off-the-field matters.
"It has been great to concentrate on contracts and stuff behind the scenes," the New Zealander said.
However, the Scarlets have suffered a blow with the news that prop Dylan Evans is out for the remainder of the season.
"We have had a season ending injury to one of our squad members," Pivac revealed.
"Dylan Evans has had surgery on tendons in his finger and at the same time he will probably get his shoulder done.
"That's him gone for the season."
The Oak Leafers raced into a four-point lead but James Smith scored a sixth-minute goal to get Cavan back into it.
Cavan lost Smith to a black card as Derry led 0-14 to 1-7 at the interval, but Philip Rogers punched a goal to narrow the gap soon after.
Ben McCarron scrambled home a vital goal eight minutes from time to guide his side towards the winning line.
The Breffni boys displayed grit and determination to stage a number of comebacks and keep themselves in the game right up until that crucial goal.
Derry got off to a flyer, and superb scores from Lorcan McWilliams and Conleth McShane helped them go four points clear, Smith then finding the net for Cavan.
However, the Oak Leafers were able to exploit gaps in the Breffni defence to pick off scores through McWilliams and McCarron to go 0-6 to 1-1 ahead by the eighth minute.
And they shot another volley of points, the best of them from Declan Cassidy, to make it 0-11 to 1-2.
Cavan lost key midfielder Smith to a black card, but finished the half strongly with scores from Philip Rogers and Tiernan Reilly, but Derry led by four at the break.
Rogers found the goal two minutes into the second half, and the Breffni lads refused to lie down.
But Lorcan McWilliams added a couple more to his tally, and in the 52nd minute, McCarron found the net.

Dozens of calls were received about the fire which has damaged the fifth floor and roof space of the University of Bristol building in Colston Street.
Four fire engines, a turntable ladder and more than 40 firefighters have been dealing with the blaze, Avon Fire and Rescue said.
It was thought no-one was inside and there were no reports of any injuries.
Eyewitnesses said it started as a small fire in one corner but very quickly took hold.
"We saw tiles falling off as the fire brigade arrived and not long after the wall on the south-west side of the building started to buckle," said an eyewitness called Ellie.
"Nearly two hours after it started the whole roof was completely gutted."
Richard Meal, who works on the 13th floor of the neighbouring Colston Tower, said: "As the fire took hold, tiles from the roof were crashing down from the roof on to the fire engines below.
"The top couple of storeys of the building are gutted and blackened and the fire is still burning over two hours later."
A university spokeswoman confirmed the fire at 33 Colston Street was in a residential block.
"Students have been evacuated from the building and as far as we are aware no-one has been hurt," she said.
"Students resident in the building will be rehoused and supported through the process. We will be working with Avon Fire and Rescue Service to determine the cause of the fire."

Ch Insp Tim Frohwein was the most upset his wife had ever seen him on the day he disappeared in Derbyshire in 2013.
He was found with a half empty bottle of whisky and a pack of pills but had no alcohol in his blood and died of hypothermia, a pathologist said.
The coroner has said it could have been a "staged" suicide that went wrong. The hearing is due to end this week.
Mr Frohwein's body was found in the Goyt Valley by family and friends in November 2013 after he disappeared from his Buxton home six days earlier.
On the opening day of the inquest in Chesterfield on Monday, Derbyshire Constabulary argued that evidence about Mr Frohwein's mental state or working life should not be heard.
The force's lawyer Bryony Ballard argued that the inquiry should focus on the circumstances of his death because suicide had been ruled out.
But coroner Dr Robert Hunter disagreed and said it would be a "warts and all hearing".
Earlier, Mr Frohwein's wife Lesley said in the 30 years she had known him he had never been so upset and cried for 15 minutes the day he disappeared.
He had been "dreading" a meeting at work for senior police officers the following day, she added.
While she was out walking the dogs she received a text message from her husband which led to the family raising the alarm.
He was also upset at being relocated from Buxton to Chesterfield because the drive would hurt his knee which had recently been operated on.
The inquest was also told he did not seek help from a doctor because he did not want it on his police record.
Previously in the hearing, the pathologist said there was no alcohol in his system nor was there a toxic level of drugs.

Edmund, ranked 84th, beat former semi-finalist Gasquet 6-2 6-2 6-3 to claim the best win of his career on a hot afternoon at Flushing Meadows.
The Briton, 21, will face American wildcard Ernesto Escobedo in round two.
British number one Konta, seeded 13th, was in superb form as she beat Mattek-Sands 6-3 6-3 in the evening session.
The 25-year-old goes on to face Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova in round two.
Andy Murray is among six Britons in singles action on day two, with the Scot taking on Czech Lukas Rosol at around 02:00 on Wednesday.
Edmund bullied former semi-finalist Gasquet with his huge forehand on his way to a two-set lead, as the Frenchman struggled in 32C heat on court five.
There was a glimmer of hope for Gasquet when he broke serve first in the third set but a brilliant running pass sparked a five-game run that took Edmund over the finish line.
"It's definitely one of my best wins in my career," Edmund said, who added that working with Andy Murray in the Davis Cup set-up had helped improve his overall game.
"I had a good summer. I beat some good players, I beat [Gilles] Simon and then had a good experience against Andy [at Queen's].
"Those matches against top players give you more experience, more confidence with your game, that you are able to take it to them."
Konta reached the fourth round as a qualifier ranked 97th last year, but looked every inch a player closing in on the top 10 as she dismissed Mattek-Sands.
The Briton controlled the contest with her backhand and was rarely troubled on serve as she won in 81 minutes on the new Grandstand court.
"It's definitely never easy coming out for a first round of a Slam, especially against Bethanie coming off an Olympic [doubles] gold medal," said Konta.
"I knew she would be inspired and feed off the atmosphere. Thank you to everyone who stayed and supported us.
"It's pretty exciting to play in here. It's a shame we weren't the first, but it's pretty special, the whole venue."
Leon Smith, GB Davis Cup captain, on 5 live sports extra: "The one thing Kyle's improved hugely, even since the Olympics, is how he's managed his forehand. Often he's tried to hit it harder and harder, but today he hit it with different heights, spins and then injected pace.
"When he's not playing well he tends to rush, get uptight and try to finish the points too quickly, but today he played with a lot of maturity.
"He played some great volleys and hit one hell of a passing shot to break back in the third set. It's looking good for him."
"Bleeding-heart liberals" was how former England international Jon Sleightholme described the people behind the open letter to government ministers outlining why tip and tag should replace contact rugby in schools.
The rationale of these medical experts is obvious. Tackling has become dangerous and it has led to an increased number of injuries.
They have stats to back up their point. Tackling as we know it has to stop, they say - or else those numbers are going to grow ever higher and the injuries ever more serious.
The other view is that if kids aren't allowed to tackle in schools rugby then they can't possibly be ready to play rugby after school, so either they give it up (and rugby begins to die) or they play on and get hurt (because they haven't been taught how to tackle) - and then they give it up.
Either way, a ban on tackling in schools would be akin to the beginning of the end of rugby.
Comparisons are made. What about heading the ball in schools football? It has been linked to concussion. Let's have some data. Shouldn't that be banned?
In my primary and high school in Ireland, hurling was the main sport. I have pals who, 30 years later, have misshaped fingers and scarred heads because of all those flying sticks. Ban it?

You could carry on with a game of whataboutery all day, but there's no point. There is an uncomfortable truth in all of this for rugby and that is, to an extent, the game has brought this kind of study on itself.
Rugby has arrived in a place where it's not just about the tackle anymore, it's about the 'hit', it's about how hard one player can hit another.
A good tackle is admired, but a huge hit draws whoops and hollers from the sidelines. A strapping 12-year-old can empty a kid of the same age but about three stone lighter and knock him into next week and there is rejoicing.
I spoke to Jim Telfer about this not that long ago. He said that it annoys him to see it. Rugby at that age should be played not in terms of age groups but weight groups.
"We're going down a bad road when we have kids of the same age but of huge physical differences colliding with each other," the former Scotland coach remarked.
Should the tackle be banned in schools? No, it shouldn't. But it should be coached and policed better than I suspect it is in places. The policing (or non-policing) of the tackle, or the ruck, is evident at professional level. That's where the love of the big hit comes from.
In this Six Nations we have seen some awful episodes go largely unpunished.
This is part of the reason why rugby is under the microscope. Foul play happens and nothing is done about it.
Last Saturday in Rome, Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw was picked up at the side of a ruck by a big Italian forward and dumped into the ground on his back and head. The 'tackle' happened well away from the ball. Laidlaw mentioned it not once but twice to Jaco Peyper but the referee showed no interest in listening to him.
What kind of message was being sent out there?
On the second weekend of the Six Nations Peyper was in charge when French lock Yoann Maestri took out Ireland's Jonny Sexton with a late hit. He smashed his elbow into the fly-half's head and knocked him to the floor.
Peyper deemed it only worthy of a penalty to Ireland. No yellow or red card for a deliberate attack on a player's head. Again, what's the message to school kids?
In the same game, French hooker Guilhelm Guirado made a scandalous high-tackle on Irish wing Dave Kearney. It was an awful tackle but again the punishment was just a penalty.
There was another incident at the weekend when England's Mike Brown kicked Conor Murray in the head while the Irishman was on the ground.
The defence of Brown is that Murray had hold of the ball and that Brown was kicking at the ball not the man. The reality is that Brown's boot connected with Murray's head and drew blood. It was, at the very least, reckless. A yellow card. But Brown has been spared sanction of any kind.
Rugby is a monumentally great game but it's troubled.
It took so long to wake up to the dangers of concussion that none of us knows what damage has already been done to players who have retired and are diminished by what happened to them in their playing years.
Concussion in rugby and its link to CTE - punch drunk syndrome or dementia - is a train that's coming down the tracks and we don't know how many former players are going to be on it.
This is another area where the game has a problem. Recently, Sexton talked about his experiences of concussion. He said they weren't anywhere near as many as people had made out but that every time he went down injured journalists assumed he was concussed.
He even said that it was getting to the stage where he might be reluctant to admit publicly to head injury because of the likely media reaction.
Numerous other players of my acquaintance have talked, in confidence, about the same issue.
Media playback is not supported on this device
An international player, who didn't want to be named, told me recently: "If I get a concussion I'm less likely now to talk about it publicly because there is a hullabaloo about it.
"Everybody piles in, journalists and medics in the media. You go down injured in a game with a shoulder knock and you read that you're concussed but you were allowed to play on.
"You get a bang in the head, but it's just a bang in the head and not a concussion, and there's a debate about the brain trauma you've suffered when you haven't suffered it.
"If players feel less inclined to talk about concussion openly then that's a worrying development. And I can see it happening."
The physicality of rugby is something we talk about endlessly. We admire it. At times, we revel in it.
There are medical people who can't see the beauty of the game for all the brutality and that's understandable. Their idea of banning tackling in schools is not any kind of solution, but rugby has a problem, that much is clear.
How helpful it would be to form a brains trust of current and former players to explore ideas on how to address the issues that will continue to ail the game and draw the heat from the outside.
Wednesday had the first chance to take the lead when Gary Hooper headed over from David Jones' cross.
Fulham fought back and almost led themselves when Stefan Johansen smashed a half-volley just over the bar.
But Fletcher broke the deadlock just after the hour mark with a left-footed volley from Adam Reach's delivery.
The defeat was Fulham's first in the league this season and means they are still without a win from their opening four games, after draws against Norwich, Reading and Leeds.
It was Sheffield Wednesday's first Championship victory of the season.
Owls forward Fernando Forestieri was left on the bench for the trip to the capital after a reported training ground bust-up, but came on for Hooper with just under 10 minutes left.
Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic:
"Our lack of goals is a worry. It was the same story that we have had before.
"We were the better team but we couldn't put it in the net. We couldn't get the quality opportunities.
"We are missing a little bit of speed with the ball. That would make a difference and it's something we must work on."
Sheffield Wednesday manager Carlos Carvalhal:
"I was very calm even when we were not winning games. There's expectations and pressure here but I believe we will achieve our results.
"We had played well before this in our other games and hadn't won, so didn't need to change anything. I have always slept well. There was no panic.
"It was good to get a win against one of the strongest teams in the league and away from home in their stadium."

Two police sergeants, two dog handlers and five police constables were hurt while investigating the unlicensed music event in Thames Road.
About 1,000 people had gathered inside, while another 1,000 were outside.
Missiles were thrown at officers and nine men have been arrested, the Met said. Four officers were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Police remain at the scene and road closures are in place.
Temporary Ch Supt Sean Wilson, borough commander for Barking and Dagenham, said: "A number of officers were injured whilst going about their duties and this will not be tolerated.
"A full investigation has been launched and we will endeavour to bring those responsible to justice."
The UK music industry, like its counterparts in other countries, has had a tough time adapting to the technological shake-ups of recent years.
But now it also has to plan for the changes that will be ushered in by the UK's decision to leave the European Union.
Obviously there is still huge uncertainty about what the country's future relationship with the EU will be like, since its expected departure in the spring of 2019 is still subject to lengthy negotiations.
However, it is already possible to identify areas of the music business that may feel the effects.
With the industry's annual Record Store Day falling this year on Saturday, 22 April, record shops are enjoying a boom in sales of old-fashioned vinyl releases.
The format was widely expected to die a slow death with the advent of the CD, but in recent times, vinyl records have managed to outsell downloads.
However, when Record Store Day 2020 rolls around, there is a risk that those singles and albums could cost significantly more.
If the UK does not manage to conclude a favourable trade deal with the EU, then tariffs may be applied on goods coming into the UK.
There are now only a couple of vinyl pressing plants left on British soil, so the majority of records sold in the UK are manufactured in factories based in other EU countries. The same goes for CDs.
If tariffs on goods return, record labels will face increased costs, which they will have to pass on to consumers.
So why buy music on physical formats anyway? This is the 21st Century, so go for streaming or downloads.
Well, even there, Brexit is likely to have consequences.
The pound has fallen in value in the wake of last June's referendum outcome. The leading music streaming services, from Sweden's Spotify to US-based Apple Music, are all multinational firms whose pricing policies are decided elsewhere.
Apple has already increased the price of its apps this year, in a move widely attributed to the Brexit vote. Apple Music subscriptions could follow suit if the pound falls any further.
In other ways, however, Brexit will have no effect at all. Many politicians and business leaders have called for the UK to preserve its access to the European single market, but in digital terms, things are more complicated.
While goods are covered by the single market in Europe, the market for services is still very much a work in progress.
And when it comes to the distribution of digital products, including music and e-books, consumers will still find that borders get in the way.
If you have an account with Amazon UK, you can buy a CD from Amazon's French website, but it won't allow you to buy the same music on download.
That said, streaming services are more unified. Spotify, for instance, makes practically all its catalogue accessible everywhere in the world, with some minor variations in local-language music.
But although Brussels has failed to create a digital single market for music consumers, it has done a lot for music producers.
People who make music can make money from it in various ways. As well as selling digital or physical copies of it, they are also paid royalties every time it is played in public.
There are two kinds of these:
And although there is no EU single market for digital music purchases, there is now a thriving single market for licensing music and collecting royalties on it.
In the UK, the main royalty collection society is PRS for Music. Its chief executive, Robert Ashcroft, says that the European Commission made a big difference with its Collective Rights Management Directive, which came into force in the UK in April last year.
As a result, it is now much easier to license music in many territories at once, rather than having to authorise it country by country, as was formerly the case.
PRS, for example, works in a joint venture with its counterparts in Sweden and Germany, STIM and GEMA, to operate a pan-European online music rights licensing service.
This means that songwriters and music publishing companies can get paid more quickly and accurately.
"We have already been licensing our rights on a pan-European basis," says Mr Ashcroft. "Brexit won't stop that and it's not in our business interest to stop it either."
The UK's law on music copyright has changed in recent years because of Brussels.
In November 2013, UK copyright protection on sound recordings increased from 50 years to 70 years, in line with an EU directive approved in 2011.
However, recordings that had already slipped into the public domain, such as the Beatles' first single, stayed there.
And there is a "use it or lose it" provision for hitherto unreleased recordings from 50 years ago. If record companies have ageing tracks in the vaults that they have never issued, then they have no comeback if other people get hold of them and release them.
Will all this change when the UK "takes back control"? PRS's Mr Ashcroft thinks not.
"I expect it to continue unless and until someone presents an argument that it's damaging to the economy," he says.
One area where Brexit could have a negative impact is on touring musicians. There are fears that music groups might have to scale back European tours after Brexit and fewer European acts could travel to the UK.
"We have a very healthy business in royalties that are earned when our members' works are performed overseas," says PRS's Mr Ashcroft. "If there were obstacles to British bands touring, that would be a potential challenge."
At the same time, however, he is concerned about Brexit's potential impact on his own organisation's staffing levels. "Eleven per cent of our employees come from countries other than the UK. We operate daily in 13 languages. We need the prime minister to give assurances that the people resident and working here can stay."
On that basis, he feels that the UK's music business is well integrated with the rest of Europe and hopes it will stay that way, despite Brexit: "We are so international that we think our business transcends that."
The BBC understands it wants to help other women who are told their baby has a life-limiting condition, including what options may be available.
It is the first time that the Department of Health has publicly addressed FFA in Northern Ireland.
It is understood the information will be contained in a leaflet.
Northern Ireland's chief medical officer, Dr Michael McBride, has asked the director of nursing Mary Hinds to lead the group.
A number of meetings have already taken place where women have described the availability of information including access to a termination and bereavement counselling.
This is a significant, albeit quiet, move on the part of the Northern Ireland Health and Social Care service to tackle an issue which has become controversial in Northern Ireland.
A fatal foetal abnormality diagnosis means medics believe an unborn child will die either in the womb or shortly after birth.
It is not grounds for a legal abortion in Northern Ireland.
The assessment found failures to register, check and fingerprint migrants arriving in November.
Greece is now likely to be given three months to rectify the situation.
If it does not improve, the EU may recommend that other Schengen states reintroduce temporary border controls.
The Greek government has hit out at what it called the EU's "blame games", criticising the lack of "common action" by European countries to respond to the migrant crisis.
More than 850,000 migrants and refugees arrived in Greece last year.
A further 44,000 have reached the Greek islands since the start of 2016, mostly arriving on Lesbos, Samos and Chios from the Turkish mainland.
There is growing pressure on Athens to deal with the flow of migrants, most of whom go on to travel through Europe to countries such as Germany and Sweden.
Several EU states, including Austria and Hungary, have already introduced temporary border controls, as the principle of passport-free travel comes under increased strain.
Schengen: Controversial EU free movement deal explained
Migrants feel chill as Europe tightens frontier checks
On Wednesday, European Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis told a news conference in Brussels that the "draft report concludes that Greece seriously neglected its obligations" under the Schengen agreement.
He said there were "serious deficiencies in the carrying out of external border controls that must be overcome and dealt with by the Greek authorities".
Spot checks by EU inspectors in November found Greece was failing to register arrivals properly, to fingerprint everyone, to see whether identity documents were genuine, and to check people against Interpol and other databases.
EU Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos conceded that Greece had "started undertaking efforts towards rectifying and complying with the Schengen rules" since then.
However, "substantial improvements" were needed.
Responding to the draft report, the Greek government said it was "not constructive to isolate Greece for creating a media impression", based on outdated information.
A spokeswoman said Greece had repeatedly asked for help from the EU's border force Frontex to boost controls, but that the response had been "small".
Criticising a lack of EU progress on the crisis, she said: "Greece has done more than it could to stand to its obligations. We expect from everyone else to do the same."
The report must be approved by other Schengen members before the Commission can set the three-month deadline.
But this is a serious warning to Greece to improve things, says the BBC's Damian Grammaticas in Brussels.
Otherwise, border checks to limit the movement of migrants within Europe may be instituted, preventing those in Greece from travelling north.
The prospect of many thousands more refugees and migrants coming this summer is what's worrying the countries they head for, primarily Austria, Germany and Sweden.
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel told an audience on Tuesday: "Of course we must significantly reduce the number of refugees and we are working on that."
So it's likely Greece will now be given until mid-May to get to grips with the influx of people to its islands.
And the timing is crucial. Mid-May could be when a summer surge of refugees reaching the EU is starting to peak.
The temporary border controls which countries like Germany have in place will be due to expire.
To prolong the controls governments will need an official assessment by the European Commission that Greece is still failing.
Is EU's Schengen border-free dream at an end?
On Monday, several EU states, which have already introduced temporary border controls, said they planned to prolong their restrictions for up to two years.
Meanwhile the EU is said to be considering helping Macedonia, which is not a member of the EU or Schengen, to tighten security at its border with Greece.
Greek Migration Minister Yiannis Mouzalas condemned the proposals, warning they would trap people.
"We do not intend to become a cemetery of souls," Mr Mouzalas told the Financial Times (behind paywall).
He also told BBC Newsnight that Belgium had told his country to "push" migrants "back in the sea" as a solution to the crisis.
However, Belgian Migration Minister Theo Francken condemned the claims, calling them "grotesque and very regrettable".
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.
Antonio Reyes-Minana tested positive for HIV and went on to have unprotected sex with two partners without telling them he had the virus.
The Crown Prosecution Service said he had "explicitly lied" about his HIV status in the case of one victim.
Reyes-Minana, from Coppice Road, Arnold, Nottinghamshire, was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm.
The judge sentenced him to three and a half years in prison for each victim, with the sentences to run consecutively.
James Allen from the CPS said the sentence "reflects the seriousness of his offending".
"The consequences of Reyes-Minana's actions will remain with his victims for the rest of their lives," he said.
The two victims, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, gave evidence during the trial at Nottingham Crown Court.
Mr Allen said they gave "important evidence" to demonstrate how Reyes-Minana "must have known he was taking the risk of transmitting HIV".
Test results showed that the same virus was present in both victims and the defendant, and further results indicated the victims were likely to have been infected during the time period they were acquainted with him.
"Scientific evidence supported the prosecution case that it was Reyes-Minana had transmitted the virus to the victims," said Mr Allen.
Reyes-Minana was charged in October 2015.
Det Sgt Andrew Hall said: "It has taken a long time to bring the case to court and we are pleased with the result today."

Muir, 23, gained her second gold of the championships with victory in the 3,000m on Sunday following her 1500m win the previous day.
The Scot eased away from the rest of the field to break the championship record in eight minutes 35.68 seconds.
Philip, 26, set a new British record to win the women's 60m final in a time of 7.06 seconds.
"I was not doubting myself," Philip told BBC Sport. "I knew I had it in me and the confidence took me through the race.
"When I crossed the line, I could feel the girls on my left and I wasn't sure - the camera came to me and I was like: 'I don't believe it unless you say my name.'"
Muir's team-mate Eilish McColgan won bronze in the 3,000m, while Shelayna Oskan-Clarke was edged into silver by winner Selina Buchel of Switzerland in a thrilling women's 800m final.
Robbie Grabarz took silver in the men's high jump after losing a jump-off for gold against Sylwester Bednarek of Poland, with Lorraine Ugen also winning silver in the women's long jump.
Eilidh Doyle, Philippa Lowe, Mary Iheke and Laviai Nielsen took silver in the women's 4x400m relay behind Poland, who won four golds in total on the final day to top the medal table ahead of Britain.
Muir won her second major title in as many days by again setting a new championship record, having also beaten Dame Kelly Holmes' British record in her 1500m victory on Saturday.
She became the first British athlete since Colin Jackson in Paris in 1994 to win two gold medals in individual events at a single European Indoor Championships.
This victory also makes Muir the first runner to win the 1500m and 3,000m double since Poland's Lidia Chojecka at Birmingham 2007.
After keeping pace with Can out in the front for most of the race, Muir surged clear with just under two laps to go to win by almost eight seconds.
"It was my first time doubling up so I didn't know how my body would cope - I was just hoping I could deliver and I'm delighted," Muir told BBC Sport.
McColgan, 26, passed Maureen Koster of the Netherlands in the final stages to win her first senior medal, while team-mate Steph Twell finished fifth.
"Laura is so much better than the rest of us - I knew gold was gone, but it's my first medal so I'm really chuffed," said McColgan.
2000 Olympic heptathlon gold medallist Denise Lewis
With an athlete as confident as Laura Muir is, as in the groove as she is, she wasn't going to settle for just winning.
This is a new Laura that we're witnessing - a couple of years ago she was in tears wondering why she was making those mistakes.
But now her running is stunning - the strength, the power, the endurance and the confidence. She has no fear.
With Jessica Ennis-Hill retiring, we've been wondering who would take on that mantle of the queen of British athletics and Laura is that person.
For Eilish McColgan, her body dictated the change from steeplechase to 3,000m - she was spending more time on the physio bed than she was racing.
So to have a good winter and then come out to win her first medal makes me delighted for her - and I hope it's the start of good things to come.

Philip set the fourth-fastest time in the semi-finals but stepped up for the final, setting a new European-leading mark this season.
Her victory completes a British double in the 60m following Richard Kilty's gold on Saturday.
She is also the first British winner of the women's 60m title since Beverly Kinch at Gothenburg in 1984.
Ukraine's Olesya Povh took silver, 0.04 seconds behind, with Ewa Swoboda of Poland in third.
Philip's gold medal stood after a Swiss protest against her victory was turned down.
Marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe paid tribute to the winner, saying: "Asha Philip personifies that tactic we need more of - bringing youngsters to championships like this and letting them take the step up, because it gives them a big boost going into the outdoor season."
Oskan-Clarke, 27, battled with reigning champion Buchel throughout the 800m final, often clashing elbows, but failed to get round the Swiss athlete on the line.
The Briton set a new personal best time of 2:00.39, just 0.01 seconds behind Buchel in a photo finish.
"I was trying to be brave but it was probably a bit silly to go round the outside whereas if I'd sat behind I might have had that bit at the end - it's just annoying," Oskan-Clarke told BBC Sport.
"I am happy but to be so close to the gold, it is a bit disappointing."
Poland's Adam Kszczot took gold in the men's 800m, with the Polish team also winning the men's 4x400m relay in the final race of the championships.

Developer Quantum Group bought the former Sherborne Hotel site, in Dorset, and demolished the building last year.
A public consultation on the proposals runs until 2 Dec.
Previous plans to build a Tesco on the site prompted protests led by former Blue Peter presenter Valerie Singleton.
Quantum Group wants to build a 24-bed "boutique" hotel, 82 care apartments and 38 care houses.
The 5.4-acre (2.1-hectare) site on Horsecastles Lane is also expected to include landscaped gardens and courtyards.
A spokeswoman for the group said more than 400 people attended a public exhibition on the proposals in July.
Of 281 received feedback forms, she added 75% of respondents "agreed with our proposals".
Further exhibitions on the plans, which have been submitted to West Dorset District Council for consideration, will be held in the Sherborne on 15, 16 and 17 December.
So why are some children getting better access to educational opportunities?
The analysis by Alan Milburn and others in the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission, which we're reporting today, largely echoes the concerns raised by Ofsted in its annual report.
It also chimes closely with government policy on the solution - the much disputed idea that making schools into academies is the key route to success.
The evidence suggests the picture is far more mixed - partly because schools have converted in very different circumstances.
As Health Secretary, Alan Milburn introduced Foundation Trust hospitals which have a similar autonomous public sector status as academies.
But there is one sharp note of dissonance over teachers' pay, where the report warns pay for teachers starting out in the profession is falling behind other graduate jobs in the UK, as well as new teachers in similar developed economies.
The midpoint - or median - starting salary for top graduate jobs has been £30,000 this year compared to £27,800 in London and around £5,000 less in other parts of the country for teachers.
This prod to up the wages of new teachers from the Commission, comes as the body which advises the government on school teachers' pay starts to process the flurry of submissions it receives at this time of year.
Not surprisingly, those from the teaching unions are united in calling for pay rises above the limit of an average 1% in public pay set out by George Osborne's recent spending review.
The unions point to struggles with recruiting teachers and the strong anecdotal evidence from head teachers that it is becoming harder to appoint good quality candidates, particularly where they are most needed.
So what's the government likely to do?
Budging on pay isn't likely, although it could face growing discord across the teaching profession.
An elite cohort of 1,500 teachers is to be recruited for areas where schools are underperforming.
But many believe they will have to be deployed in clusters of schools to be effective.
And most of all, ministers will be trying to sell the longer term benefits of the profession in terms of satisfaction and long term pay prospects.
International research suggests teachers taking on more responsibility end up paid reasonably well in the longer term compared to other countries.
That may not be enough to avoid the pay review body repeating the warning of its last report that there are increasing difficulties in recruiting enough teachers to match the rising pupil numbers.
It's less likely to go as far as the unions would like, and recommend the government makes an exception to public pay restraint for the teachers.

Mr McBride died on Sunday. The cause of his death is not yet known.

Some have paid large sums for treatment to give them more time with their children.
A chemotherapy drug called Kadcyla (or TDM1) costs £90,000 per patient and could give extra years of quality life.
It is not provided on the NHS in Wales, but a meeting will be held next month where recommendations about its future availability will be made.
Ahead of that meeting, cancer patients have spoken about the "frightening" prospect of dying when they know there is a drug which would buy them more time with their families.
While her oncologist recommended she be given it, she says Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board (ABMU) turned her request down.
"In February, my husband, Ian, had an almighty stroke that has left him unable to speak," Mrs Davies said.
"At the moment, we have carers coming to us, but if I die, which is my expected outcome, Ian will have to go into a care home.
"I was hopeful that my personal circumstances would be taken into account. But I was told it wouldn't be cost effective to give me the treatment."
Mrs Davies, who has three daughters aged 25, 19, and 17, described her life going from "a 100mph sales job into a brick wall" in 2011 after she was first diagnosed.
She has since had a double mastectomy but now has advanced secondary breast cancer after it spread to her spine, both lungs, heart and skin, leaving her in "excruciating pain" and struggling to walk.
The mother-of-three said: "Even six months extra is a long time when you are looking death in the eye.
"My children need me, my husband needs me. Who will look after him? When we have research, drugs developed, but can't have them, it is very hard."
The Welsh government said decisions on funding drugs not approved by guidance body the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) are made by health boards.
While not commenting on Mrs Davies' case, an ABMU spokeswoman said it has a panel which meets fortnightly to consider requests.
Each, she said, is considered "on its merits, using clinical evidence available".
Nice assesses the cost effectiveness of treatments and how well they work compared with the price manufacturers ask the NHS to pay.
Last April, it offered draft guidance, saying Kadcyla's cost of more than £90,000 per patient made it "impossible" for it to recommend.
However, an independent appraisal committee will meet on 29 September to discuss it further.
Currently, it remains unavailable on the NHS in Wales and England, although there is a cancer drug fund over the border.
Mrs Cox, who has children aged 20, 17 and 13, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010. It has spread to her liver, bones and blood.
She has not yet applied for Kadcyla but has spent £40,000 on chemotherapy and radioactive bead treatment in Wales and Harley Street clinic, London.
She said: "My mum died when I was 16 so I know how horrible it is living without a mum. I will pay anything for my children to have a mum in their life.
"People may scoff and say 'why should we fund a drug which will keep someone alive for an extra three months?' These treatments have kept my disease stable for nearly two years."
But she said she is running out of treatment options funded in Wales.
"Although I am pain-free and symptom-free and carry on my life, I am terrified of the immediate future as the chemo drug box is empty.
"If my tumours are left without poisons to kill or stop them growing it will take three months before I die of liver failure. I am not ready for that, I have too much life to live."
The former management trainer is part of a trial at Velindre Hospital, Cardiff, with a drug called Pertuzumab. It has kept her cancer stable since October 2013.
But once it stops being effective, Kadcyla would be the "natural next step". However, she is frightened she will not have access to it.
The cancer returned in her sternum in 2006. She said she has been "very lucky", with the NHS-funded drug Herceptin keeping her stable.
"I know so many young ladies, with children, who would give anything for an extra six months to spend with their families," she said.
"There must be many ways of finding more funds."
Christodoulos Xiros, 56, of the Marxist militant group November 17, was arrested on Saturday in Anavyssos.
He went missing after being allowed out of jail in January to visit his family.
Police found a cache of arms and ammunition in his house in Anavyssos, including a grenade launcher.
The cache also had eight Kalashnikov rifles, three handguns, a silencer and explosives.
Police said they also found drawings of the planned attack.
Police chief Dimitris Tsaknakis said: "The findings point to a big hit on the Korydallos prison, aiming to free prisoners. Based on notes we found, the attack would have taken place in the next days."
Public Safety Minister Vassilis Kikilias said: "Greek police prevented a major attack against the heart of the Greek prison system."
Xiros, who was sentenced in 2003 to multiple life terms for his role in November 17, appeared in court on Sunday to face charges of running a terrorist group and possessing weapons.
While on the loose, Xiros had appeared in a video threatening armed action over austerity measures undertaken under Greece's international bailout.
Photos released by Greek police show him with a beard and his hair grown long and dyed blonde.
The now defunct November 17 emerged in the mid-1970s and claimed a series of deadly attacks against foreign diplomats and Greek politicians and businessmen over nearly three decades, killing at least 23 people.
Greece, which has a huge foreign debt, has gone through years of austerity programmes mandated by the IMF-EU bailout.
The country is due to hold a snap election on 25 January. The left-wing Syriza party - which wants the terms of the EU-IMF bailout renegotiated - is leading in opinion polls.
As YouTube is a video-sharing site, the event featured Eminem, Lady Gaga and M.I.A making live music videos directed by the awards' creator, Spike Jonze, and others.
Eminem won Artist of the Year, while Taylor Swift's I Knew You Were Trouble took the YouTube Phenomenon award.
The ceremony was streamed live online.
Nominees were chosen by taking into account the YouTube views, likes, comments and subscription figures for different artists.
Indie actress Greta Gerwig kicked off proceedings at the sprawling Pier 36 venue, performing in a live video for Arcade Fire and their new song Afterlife.
Lady Gaga was up next, tears rolling down her cheeks as she performed her single Dope for the first time wearing a baseball cap and flannel shirt.
The coveted Video of the Year award went to South Korean group Girls' Generation for their song I Got A Boy, while Innovation of the Year went to DeStorm Power, the YouTube user whose 250 videos on the website have been watched more than 200 million times.
The inaugural YouTube awards reflect an increasing trend for people to turn to the internet, rather than television and radio, for music and video.
In August last year, the Nielsen rating agency published a survey in which 64% of American adolescents said they listened to music on YouTube, compared with 56% who listened to radio.
It comes after recent protests against the struggling Championship club's owners and incidents during a League Cup tie at Crystal Palace in September.
A supporter allegedly attempted to punch Palace's eagle mascot.
Kayla, an American bald eagle, was reportedly targeted amid crowd trouble.
A joint statement issued by Charlton and the MPS read: "The Metropolitan Police Service and Charlton Athletic Football Club recognise the right of the fans to protest peacefully and both the MPS and the club continue to work together to ensure that protests take place in a way that is safe and lawful.
"Both the MPS and the club are in agreement that unlawful behaviour in the name of protest is not acceptable.
"A number of criminal acts in recent games have taken place and the club are working with the MPS to identify offenders and, where appropriate, bring them before a court for prosecution and/or seeking bans.
"When offences are committed, the MPS may not necessarily arrest at the time but can look to gather evidence and arrest or summons at a later date where appropriate."
Charlton are second from bottom of the Championship and supporters have made their discontent clear, particularly before, during and after the 2-0 win at home to Middlesbrough on 13 March.
A coffin was brought to the ground by fans unhappy with the way Roland Duchatelet and chief executive Katrien Meire are running the club.
The start of the game was then disrupted when beach balls were thrown onto the pitch, and whistles blown in the crowd later caused confusion for players.
There was also a pitch invasion by a small number of fans after Charlton's first goal, while others left the ground in the 74th minute to mark the number of goals the team had conceded this season.
There was then a demonstration outside the stadium after the match.
A team at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital used the device, controlled via a joystick, to remove a membrane one hundredth of a millimetre thick.
Patient Bill Beaver, 70, a curate in Oxford, said it was "a fairytale".
Surgeons hope the procedure will pave the way for more complex eye surgery than is currently possible with the human hand.
The BBC had exclusive access to the procedure.
Dr Beaver said: "It's almost the world of fairy tales but it's true. I'm just fortunate that I'm the first to have it."
Robot assisted surgery is commonplace, but until now had never been used inside the eye.
Prof Robert MacLaren from University of Oxford, who led the procedure, told me: "Operating at the back of the eye needs great precision, and the challenge has been to get a robot system to do that through a tiny hole in the wall of the eye without causing damage as it moves around.
"Most robots in theatre are big, with big engineering whereas this is tiny - everything had to be shrunk down."
The Preceyes surgical robot was developed by a Dutch company, a spin-out of Eindhoven University of Technology.
The surgeon uses a joystick and touch-screen to guide a thin needle into the eye, while monitoring its progress through a microscope.
The robot, which acts like a mechanical hand, has seven motors and is able to filter out hand tremors from the surgeon.
Large movements of the joystick result in tiny movements of the robot, and if the surgeon releases their grip any movement is frozen.
Dr Beaver was officiating chaplain to the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment until last year.
In July his optician spotted a membrane growing at the back of his right eye. The pressure had created a hole in his retina which was destroying his central vision.
Before his surgery said: "When I hold up a book, all I can see is mush in the centre, and my vision in that eye is restricted to the periphery."
He underwent the pioneering surgical technique at the end of August.
Prof MacLaren said: "Normally when we do this operation by hand we touch the retina and there is some haemorrhage, but when we used the robot the membrane was lifted cleanly away."
The result is that Dr Beaver's central vision in his right eye has been restored.
A gas bubble in the eye means he is currently short sighted, but normal distance vision will return in the coming months.
Dr Beaver said: "The degeneration in my vision was very scary and I was fearful I would lose my sight entirely - so for this intervention to take place so effortlessly is a real godsend."
Twelve patients will undergo surgical procedures using the robot, in a trial funded by the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre.
Additional funding is being provided by Zizoz, a Dutch charity for patients with choroideremia, a genetic form of blindness which might be a future target for treatment using the robot.
The trial is designed as a proof of principle, to establish whether the robot can do what an eye surgeon does, but with greater accuracy.
But the ultimate goal is for robotics to take eye surgery to another level.
Prof MacLaren said: "There is no doubt in my mind that we have just witnessed a vision of eye surgery in the future.
"We can certainly improve on current operations, but I hope the robot will allow us to do new more complex and delicate operations that are impossible with the human hand."
Oxford is among several centres around the world which are trialling retinal gene therapy - a new treatment to prevent blindness.
Currently this treatment is done by hand, and further interventions involving stem cell injections are planned which require cells to be slowly infused into the eye.
The robot should allow surgeons to inject cells under the retina over a period of 10 minutes, something which would be impossible with the human hand.
The Dutch company which developed the robot believes that it could eventually be used outside the operating theatre.
Maarten Beelen from Preceyes said: "In the future we could see this being used in an office based setting, where only the robot would touch the eye and it would be fully automated, which would improve efficiency and reduce costs."
The robot system is a prototype and as yet the company has not revealed what it will cost to purchase.
The company has not yet given details about the financial damage.
But correspondents say it is likely to amount to millions of dollars.
The meltdown exposes vulnerabilities in Delta's computer system, which is over-reliant on IT systems that date from the 1990s, correspondents say.
Although the airline was back online late on Monday, it was still dealing with the knock-on effects a day later.
Its main challenge will be to find sufficient seats on planes during the busy summer holiday season for tens of thousands of passengers whose flights were cancelled.
The flight tracking service FlightStats said there were nearly 600 delayed flights on Tuesday, with cancelled flights closer to 330.
More than 1,000 people spent Monday night at Narita airport outside Tokyo, with Delta spokeswoman Hiroko Okada warning that more delays were expected. There were similar scenes earlier in the day throughout the US.
"We were able to bring our systems back on line and resume flights within a few hours yesterday but we are still operating in recovery mode," a Delta statement said on Tuesday.
The problems began when a switchgear, that helps to control and switch power flows in the same way as a circuit breaker does in people's homes, malfunctioned for reasons that were not immediately clear, experts say.
The Atlanta-based airliner says it will pay compensation to customers affected by significant delays or cancellations.
The meltdown raises questions over a recent wave of four US airline mergers that resulted in four large carriers controlling 85% of domestic capacity, The Wall Street Journal reported.
It says this has resulted in the creation of companies that are too large and too dependent on IT systems that date from the 1990s. Delta merged with Northwest Airlines eight years ago.
Computer systems used by the airlines control everything from flight dispatching, crew scheduling, passenger check-ins, airport departure information and ticket sales.
They are gradually being phased out and updated but remain vulnerable, IT experts quoted by the newspaper said.
The disruption was so severe on Monday that, at one point, Delta warned passengers that information provided by its employees, website and app may be out of date.
The overnight power failure took place in Atlanta, near Delta's headquarters, the company said, causing computer systems to crash.
Many travellers posted their unhappiness on social media, making #Delta a top trending topic.
The airline serves about 180 million customers a year, employing over 80,000 people, its website says.
Neath announced on Sunday their ex-captain had died on Saturday evening after a short illness.
Hodgson made his Wales debut against Ireland in 1962 and went on to win 15 caps, helping Wales clinch the Five Nations title in 1966.
His last cap came in 1967 but he kept playing for Neath until 1972, making more than 400 appearances before coaching the Welsh All Blacks.
The accident between two vehicles happened at about 17:40 BST on Sunday on the dual carriageway between Dromore and Banbridge.
The three men, two aged 20 and one aged 19, were travelling in a red Vauxhall Corsa.
It was involved in a collision with a black Volkswagen Tiguan on the northbound carriageway.
A woman travelling in the other car was taken to hospital for treatment for injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
The A1 was closed for several hours following the crash but has now been fully reopened to traffic in both directions.
SDLP MLA Dolores Kelly said poor weather late on Sunday afternoon meant driving conditions were "atrocious".
"It's a dreadful tragedy that three men have lost their lives," she said.
She said she would meet with police on Tuesday to ask if anything more could be done to improve safety on the road that is "well-renowned for bad accidents".
Ulster Unionist MLA Jo-Anne Dobson said: "The weather and road conditions at the time of the accident were poor and once again highlight the dangers which exist on our roads.
"I would appeal to people to take extra caution on our roads."
21 April 2017 Last updated at 10:30 BST
Dramatic scenes of the crash, which happened on Barcroft Street on Wednesday afternoon, were captured on CCTV by resident Stewart Wilson.
The footage shows passengers from the car walking away from the accident, with one carrying a dog.
Humberside Police said nobody was injured.
A 23-year-old man and an 18 year old woman were arrested in connection with the crash.
The 23-year-old remains in custody, police added.
The 64-year-old was from the north of the city.
The collision happened at the junction of Brougham Street at about 15:10 BST.
Police have appealed for anyone with a dashboard camera who drove along Dock Street or Brougham Street at the time to contact their crash investigators.
Ventnor Town Council had hoped to secure funding for Undercliff Drive similar to the £2m business case being drawn up for Eastbourne Pier.
Undercliff Drive was destroyed in February's severe weather.
Penny Mordaunt, Conservative MP for Portsmouth North, said it was the council's responsibility to maintain highways.
In 2012 the council was awarded up to £477m Private Finance Initiative funding by the government to carry out vital improvements and maintenance to the island's roads over a 25-year period.
Councillors agreed in September to fund £500,000 into research to look at different options for repairing the road.
The road remains closed between Niton and St Lawrence with a four-mile detour in place.
The larvae were being sold for food in south-eastern Katanga province.
Days of violence began when a group of Batwa, also known as pygmies, accused the Luba ethnic group of imposing an illegal levy on the sale of caterpillars and beating up vendors.
The two groups have clashed several times in the last few years.
The Batwa killed several members of the Luba ethnic group near the region of Kabalo in Katanga. The Luba then launched a revenge attack, killing at least 13 pygmies.
Tensions between the hunter-gatherer pygmies and the Luba, a Bantu ethnic group, have caused hundreds of deaths over the past three years.
Caterpillars are a delicacy in western DR Congo, in the area around the capital Kinshasa, hundreds of miles from Katanga where the deadly clashes occurred.
They are harvested from trees, smoked and often eaten with sauce.
However they are an unexpected cause of conflict in DR Congo, particularly in Katanga.
That province is not known for its love of eating caterpillars and people have certainly never killed for them before.
But there is a running feud in the area between pygmies and other ethnic groups.
Pygmies are native to the region but they feel they are marginalised, with unequal access to resources and education.
So when they felt that one of their main sources of income was being subject to an unfair tax, the result was violence.
It is one of a number of options being considered by the Weston Area Health NHS Trust, as it tries to comply with new government health reforms.
The complex is £5m in debt and must cut losses ahead of new government rules.
A statement from Weston Area Health NHS Trust said discussions about its future were "progressing well", and stressed NHS services will continue in the town.
New government rules say all NHS trusts must become foundation trusts by April 2014, thereby proving they can run their services without going into debt and function independently of the Department of Health.
As well possibly entering into a partnership with an external organisation, merging with a foundation trust is another option.
"We announced in November that as the trust was one of the smallest in the country, it did not have the critical mass of services sufficient to become a standalone NHS Foundation Trust," the trust statement continued.
By Nigel DandoChief reporter, BBC Radio Bristol
It's a big problem in the case of the hospital trust here in Weston.
There are two options which the trust is now considering - they can be acquired by another NHS Foundation Trust or they can find a partner to run the hospital's services.
That partner could be from the private sector. It could be a voluntary organisation or it could be a charity.
My understanding is that the trust has been looking at the private sector model, although nothing has yet been decided.
The high-profile example of this approach is at Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. Last February it became the first NHS hospital to be operated by a private partner, when the Circle Partnership took over its running.
"Whichever route we end up taking, it is clear that the trust must, and will, continue to provide NHS services for NHS patients. Whatever option is selected, all staff and assets will remain within the NHS."
The financial deficit at Weston General Hospital has, until now, been covered by the NHS North Somerset Primary Care Trust (PCT).
That arrangement will end shortly when the PCT is disbanded and replaced by what is called a clinical commissioning group, which will not have the money to bail out the hospital.
Weston Area Health NHS Trust was one of three trusts in England highlighted recently by the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee as not having a proper financial plan for its future.
Christina Cook from the Unison trade union said: "Unison is totally opposed to the privatisation of Weston General Hospital as its members wish to continue working for the NHS.
"Unison members feel very strongly about this subject and are prepared to campaign against privatisation."
Stearman's strike, bolstered by Andreas Weimann's killer second just before the break, set up Wolves' 2-1 fourth-round win over under-strength Liverpool.
The 29-year-old says he was stunned at just getting an early opportunity.
"It was right on my head. When it came across I knew I was in with a very good chance," he told BBC WM.
"My eyes lit up as soon as Helder Costa put it in the box. To be 1-0 up inside a minute was incredible."
Weimann, scorer of Wolves' second goal on his full debut for Wolves was part of the last Paul Lambert side to beat Liverpool at Anfield, also scoring in Aston Villa's 3-1 victory in December 2012.
And the sense of a big occasion, culminating in the post-match celebratory Icelandic clap to the euphoric away fans at the Anfield Road End, would have brought back golden summer Euro 2016 memories for two of Wolves' internationals, Wales midfielder Dave Edwards and Iceland striker Jan Dadi Bodvarsson.
Wolves are a young side, however, and the key message at Anfield from Stearman and Wolves' 30-year-old skipper Dave Edwards was to make the most of it and enjoy their big day.
"Me and Eddo made a point of telling the boys: 'It's not often we're going to be here, suck it up, and enjoy the day'," added Stearman.
"And, in the dressing room after the game we were going round saying: 'Remember this feeling as it's not going to come around too often'.
"Their fans weren't too happy with their team. But we limited them to shots from distance and, when they brought on their big hitters, we handled it well. We had a game plan and it worked."
Wolves are hoping to complete a permanent deal for Helder Costa in the next 48 hours, reports BBC WM.
The Portuguese winger is on loan for the season from Benfica, but Wolves have a sole option to buy him outright during the current transfer window.
The fee, which is expected to be about £13m payable to the Portuguese Primeira Liga leaders, would nearly double Wolves' existing transfer record - the reported £7m paid to Monaco for Ivan Cavaleiro in August 2016.
Four militants wearing army uniforms blew themselves up after gaining entry to a base near Haditha late on Monday.
Of the explosions killed Brig-Gen Ali Abboud, chief-of-staff of the Jazeera and Badiya Operations Command.
Another eight soldiers were wounded in the attack, which comes after a wave of suicide bombings claimed by IS.
On Monday, at least 40 people were killed by an explosion at a funeral attended by Shia militia commanders in the eastern town of Muqdadiya, while a blast at a security checkpoint in Baghdad left eight security personnel dead.
Another 70 people died in the capital on Sunday, when two militants targeted a busy market in the predominantly Shia district of Sadr City.
Haditha and its nearby dam, about 190km (120 miles) north-west of Baghdad, are in one of the few parts of the mainly Sunni province of Anbar not controlled by IS.
Iraqi government forces and allied Sunni tribesmen based there have held off IS for more than 18 months with the help of air strikes by a US-led coalition.
On Monday night, the four militants attacked an entrance to the headquarters of the Jazeera and Badiya Operations Command and clashed with soldiers inside.
One of the bombers later blew himself up inside Gen Abboud's office, while the other three detonated their explosive belts elsewhere, Maj-Gen Ali Daboun, head of the Jazeera and Badiya Operations Command, told the AFP news agency.
Elsewhere in Iraq on Tuesday, Iraqi troops backed by Shia militiamen and the Iraqi air force launched a new offensive to retake a key agricultural area north-east of the central city of Samarra.
Commanders believe that controlling Jazerat Samarra would allow them to cut IS supply lines to the northern IS-held city of Mosul.
Pauline Howie is to travel to Lochinver in Sutherland for the meeting later on Monday.
Local residents and Assynt Community Council have concerns about patient transport to hospital in Inverness.
They have said reaching the hospital by ambulance or public transport have become more difficult.
Labour MSP Rhoda Grant has been involved in arranging the meeting in Lochinver.
Patient transfers and emergency cover are to be discussed.
In March, SNP MSP Gail Ross is to meet Ms Howie to discuss ambulance cover in Caithness and Sutherland, including the role SAS plays in a new maternity unit set up at Caithness General in Wick.
The ambulance service said Ms Howie was looking forward to the discussions.
The meetings also follow concerns about a shortage of emergency cover in parts of the Highlands.
SAS said it worked closely with partners and communities to ensure it delivered a safe and effective service.
The 29-year-old has won the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey with Barcelona since joining them in 2014.
But prior to the move he was suspended for four months for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.
"I know they'll remember the bad things I've done and I can't change that but I want to be remembered for the good things," he told the Daily Mail.
Suarez joined Liverpool in January 2011 and had already been banned for biting whilst playing for Ajax.
The Uruguayan won a host of individual honours during his three-year Anfield career, but also received a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic and an eight-match suspension for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.
However, in his first year with Barcelona he was on the scoresheet in the Champions League final as his new team beat Juventus 3-1 in Berlin.
"I went from being the bad guy, the worst player who gets all the criticism, to being the player who makes the difference and scores the important goals," he said.
"There is always a chance to get even and I'm proud of the fact that for all the blows I always got back up again."
Asked about his future, Suarez said: "I'd prefer to stay here [at Barca] for many more years. I know it doesn't always turn out that way. But if I had to return to the Premier League, I would only go to Liverpool."
Compiled by hardware maker Cisco, it estimates global net traffic will triple within five years to a total of 131 exabytes of data per month.
More people watching higher quality video would drive the huge increase, it said in its annual data report.
About 79% of all data in 2018 would be video compared with only 66% at the end of 2013, it said.
It would take an individual about five million years to watch the vast amount of video clips, films, and documentaries crossing global networks every month in 2018, Cisco said in its report.
One exabyte is equal to nearly 1.1 billion gigabytes and represents a vast amount of information. By way of comparison, a study carried out by the University of California, Berkeley estimates that all the words ever spoken by humans amount to about five exabytes of information.
The huge amount of data being seen and sent means that for the first time the annual total of data travelling over the net will exceed one zettabyte, according to Cisco.
"Today, we are firmly in the zettabyte era and witnessing incredible innovations and shifts in the industry," said Doug Webster, a spokesman for Cisco, in a statement.
By 2018, more than half of all the data would go to mobile devices connected wirelessly, said Cisco. At the end of 2013 about 56% of data travelled through fixed connections but this would drop to 39% by 2018 with the rest going to mobile gadgets such as smartphones and tablets.
Increasing mobility, greater use of ultra-high-definition video, and the rise of the "internet of things" would all contribute to rising data volumes, it added
The striker began his European career with in 1997 at Dutch club Ajax.
He went onto play for clubs in Spain, Portugal and England during his career.
"At times I didn't want to even play anymore because I couldn't take it, people calling you all kinds of things," he said.

"It's not my fault my skin is darker than others. I was born this way."
McCarthy said he learnt to deal with it over time despite the distress it caused him.
"It used to give me more energy when people are so ignorant and racist, they make you play better, they make you want to beat their team so bad," he added.
Twenty years after McCarthy arrived in Europe, the issue of racism is still in the headlines.
On Sunday, Pescara and Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari walked off the pitch after he complained of racist abuse during a match against Cagliari.
Muntari was banned for a match after he was booked for dissent after asking the referee to stop the match claiming he was being racially abused.
The 32-year-old ex-Ghana international then walked off the pitch in protest - for which he received a second yellow card, officials have now confirmed.
I was very surprised that in England you don't hear monkey chants from opposition fans,
Cagliari were not punished by the authorities in Italy for the abuse saying not enough fans took part in the abuse to trigger action.
McCarthy said his worst period was when he played for Celta Vigo and Ajax Amsterdam.

""In Portugal when you play for your club, they love you but when you play outside your club, it's different, you suffer, you face racism."
Things were however different for him in England, where he played for Blackburn and West Ham United.

"They swear and throw personal insults, call you useless but racism - no.

Carlos the Jackal's real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez.
After years on the run, he was caught in 1994 and jailed for life.
An investigating judge specialising in anti-terror cases had ordered the latest prosecution, French newspaper Le Figaro reported on Tuesday.
Ramirez, 64, had admitted carrying out the 15 September 1974 attack on the Drugstore Saint-Germain in an Algerian newspaper five years later, French media said.
He has already been given a life sentence for killing 11 people and wounding another 150 in four attacks dating back to the early 1980s:
Ramirez has also been linked to several other attacks outside France.
Francoise Rudetzki, head of France's national victims of crime federation, told France Info radio that the latest move was "a victory for justice, the victims and of being able to get a message to the terrorists".
Whatever the period of time, there would be no escape and they would have to answer for their actions, she said. | Kyle Edmund upset 13th seed Richard Gasquet before fellow Briton Johanna Konta powered past American Bethanie Mattek-Sands on day one of the US Open.

In June, a three-day independent judicial review, called for by the club's owners Sisu, ruled the loan was a lawful use of public funds.
The money was used by Ricoh's operators, Arena Coventry Limited (ACL), to pay off debts.
Sisu lodged an appeal at the Court of the Appeal on Friday.
The court could dismiss the case or agree to hear it or, decide to send the case to the European Courts of Justice, legal representatives said.
The appeal follows a long-running rent dispute between Sisu and the Ricoh Arena, which has seen the club play its home games at Northampton Town's ground, more than 30 miles (48km) away from Coventry, since last August.
On Thursday, the League One club paid the stadium owners £471,192 in unpaid rent.

In a decision that has caused outrage among Jewish and Muslim groups, the court said that a child's right to physical integrity trumps religious and parental rights.
The case involved a doctor who carried out a circumcision on a four year-old that led to medical complications.
Thousands of Muslim and Jewish boys are circumcised in Germany every year.
Although male circumcision - unlike female circumcision - is not illegal in Germany, the court's judgement said the "fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed the fundamental rights of the parents".
Circumcision, it decided, contravenes "interests of the child to decide later in life on his religious beliefs".
The doctor involved in the case was acquitted and the ruling is not binding, but correspondents say it sets a precedent that would be taken into account by other German courts.
The president of Germany's Central Council of Jews, Dieter Graumann, called it "an unprecedented and dramatic intervention in the right of religious communities to self-determination".
He urged the country's parliament to clarify the legal situation "to protect religious freedom against attacks".
Male circumcision is part of the ancient religious rituals of both the Jewish and Muslim faiths, as well as the traditions of some tribal groups.
In some countries, such as the United States, it is also not uncommon for parents to request that young boys are circumcised for health reasons.
The BBC's Stephen Evans in Germany says it is unclear what the next legal step will be, but this issue is a moral and political minefield.
But could the spring perennial hold the key to future antibacterial, antiparasitic and anti-cancer treatments?
Daffodils have already provided a compound used in an Alzheimer's disease drug, galantamine.
BBC Wales spoke to scientists at Bangor University who are now trying to isolate more disease-fighting compounds from the nation's favourite bulb.
Dr Patrick Murphy, an organic chemist, said his work with daffodils tends to generate more public interest than some of his other research areas.
"I think people can relate to daffodils. Everybody has seen daffodils growing in the spring," he said.
"My other areas of research are working on natural products isolated from marine sources, so sponges and bacteria, and I think these might appear less attractive."
The daffodil was introduced as an emblem of Wales in the 19th Century and popularised by Prime Minister David Lloyd George. The flower, which is often worn on St David's Day, is also commercially grown in mid Wales.
Dr Murphy and his team are hoping to isolate compounds called alkaloids in the flower for medical purposes.
He said: "The alkaloids people might know of tend to be the ones that have a powerful spectrum of activity within humans, for example, alkaloids such as caffeine (tea/coffee), nicotine (tobacco) or morphine (poppies).
"We're interested in alkaloids from daffodils and one quite well-known one is galantamine. This is a compound which has been isolated previously and used for treatment of early-stage Alzheimer's disease.
"We're interested in, not just this compound, but other compounds, which have not been exploited to a wide range because of a lack of available amounts of them.
"So, we hope to isolate larger amounts of these alkaloids for use in biological-activity studies."
The problem is it can often be quite difficult to isolate the compounds without impurities arising during the process.
"But we've found a relatively straight-forward way of doing it without involving too much expense," Dr Murphy said.
"That's often the sticking point, keeping the costs down to a minimum. So, we're quite pleased with where we are at the moment."
The team is looking at compounds from a common variety of the classic yellow daffodil sold in supermarkets.
Dr Murphy said: "There is a reliable variety that produces the major compound of interest. What we're trying to do is to take the waste from the our commercial partner's galantamine production and to actually get something from the waste rather than throwing it away."
But how close is the team's work to creating a viable treatment?
"That's a bit of a long way in the distance - it takes a long time to develop a compound from isolation to use in humans," Dr Murphy explained.
"But it would be interesting to isolate these compounds and to test them for ranges of activity such as antibacterial activity, antiparasitic activity and various other disease, possibly antiviral [or] anti-cancer activities."
Kittel finished ahead of compatriot John Degenkolb, with Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen third on Tuesday's 178km stage from Perigueux to Bergerac.
It was the 29-year-old's 13th Tour stage win, taking him one ahead of Erik Zabel's German record of 12.
Froome claimed his 50th yellow jersey.
French pair Elie Gesbert and Yoann Offredo launched an early break, but their lead of more than five minutes was reined in with a little under 7km to go.
Kittel's power in the bunch sprint could not be matched, as the Quick-Step Floors rider beat Degenkolb by more than a bike length to extend his lead in the points classification.
Degenkolb said after the stage that Kittel was from "another planet" and he certainly seems peerless in the race this year, winning four of the five bunch sprints he has contested.
Kittel found the wheel of Britain's Dan McLay close to the finish and catapulted beyond his rivals with such ease that he was able to raise his arms in victory salute as he crossed the line.
The 29-year-old also won four stages in 2013 and 2014 but looks well placed to beat his previous best - and could even achieve that on Wednesday with another sprint finish expected at the end of the road to Pau.
Mark Cavendish, who crashed out of this year's race after tangling with Peter Sagan, won six stages in 2009 and it is very possible that Kittel could at least equal that tally given he has also won twice previously on the Champs Elysees in Paris.
"I can't really believe it," Kittel told ITV4. "To win four in one Tour, it is super nice. I'm really, really happy.
"I feel like I live in a small little bubble in a small little world and it cannot be true."
The victory for Kittel saw him extend his lead at the top of the sprinters' green jersey standing to 102 points over Australia's Michael Matthews.
The race resumed on Tuesday after the rest day and it was arguably the most pedestrian and incident-free stage so far.
Froome could be seen happily chatting to other riders as the main group criss-crossed the Dordogne on the road to Bergerac and there were no alarms for the Team Sky rider, who ended by claiming the 50th yellow jersey of his career after finishing in the bunch.
"It was quite relaxed as far as Tour de France flat stages go," said Froome. "It is another day out of the way."
There was no change at the top of the general classification standings. Briton Simon Yates retains the white jersey worn by the best rider under 25 and Frenchman Warren Barguil kept the King of the Mountains polka dot jersey.
The Pyrenees loom on the horizon - the race gets there on Thursday - but it should be another day for a bunch sprint on Wednesday.
The stage takes us 203.5km from Eymet to Pau and with one intermediate sprint and one category four climb.
Would anyone bet against another win for Kittel right now?

Much of the area lies in rubble, with shattered statues and a ziggurat reduced to a fraction of its size.
IS circulated video footage showing militants blowing up or smashing up monuments and artefacts last year.
Government forces recaptured Nimrud as part of a wider assault on Mosul, the last major IS stronghold in Iraq.
A senior source in the Iraqi military's Nineveh Operations command reported significant advances around the city on Tuesday.
Warplanes bombed IS positions in Mosul's airport, on the southern outskirts, as units of elite Rapid Response Division encircled the nearby village of Albu Saif.
Counter-Terrorism Service personnel meanwhile fought fierce battles with IS militants in the eastern district of Qadisiya al-Thaniya, according to the source.
The city of Nimrud, about 32km (20 miles) south of Mosul, was founded more than 3,300 years ago. Then known as Kalhu, it was a capital of the Assyrian empire.
The site covered some 3.5 sq km (1.35 sq miles) and included a prominent "citadel" mound, the palaces and tombs of Assyrian kings, temples to their gods, colossal statues depicting lions and winged bulls, and widely revered frescos.
IS militants captured Nimrud in June 2014, shortly after they overran Mosul, routing the Iraqi army.
In March 2015, the Iraqi tourism ministry reported that militants had used bulldozers and other heavy vehicles to vandalise the site.
A month later, IS published a video showing militants smashing statues and frescos with sledgehammers before blowing up much of what remained.
On Tuesday, a pro-government tribal militia commander visiting the site for the first time in two years told the AFP news agency: "When you came here before, you could imagine the life as it used to be. Now there is nothing."
"One hundred percent has been destroyed," Ali al-Bayati added. "Losing Nimrud is more painful to me than even losing my own house."
The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) described the destruction of Nimrud last year as a "war crime", saying IS was "clearly determined to wipe out all traces of the history of Iraq's people".
The jihadist group has denounced pre-Islamic art and architecture as idolatrous, and has destroyed several other ancient sites in Iraq and neighbouring Syria.
The incident resulted in a 26-year-old man sustaining a serious injury in the West Lothian town's King Street on 13 December.
The victim is being treated in hospital.
The arrested man is expected to appear at Livingston Sheriff Court on Friday.
At a stroke, the Foreign Office has lost its two main levers of control over the World Service - its budget (currently £272m or $428m a year) and its services (that is, what countries it broadcasts to and in what format).
Details of the deal have yet to be announced, though the Foreign Office is expected to retain a veto over the closure of any of the BBC's language services.
However, it is highly unlikely that the Foreign Office wanted any of these changes. They seem to have been driven by spending cuts.
Only in July, Foreign Secretary William Hague was trumpeting the value of the BBC World Service in a speech about the importance of "networking" in the modern world.
He spoke of "the essential importance of the work of the British Council and the BBC World Service, which give Britain an unrivalled platform for the projection of the appeal of our culture and the sharing of our values".
Of course the BBC will carry on doing this work anyway and there will be some who will welcome the cutting of the link with the Foreign Office.
It was always a curiously British arrangement that the Foreign Office would pay and the BBC would produce, but not everyone understood or accepted that.
Now at least, the BBC World Service can argue that it is more independent than it was. It will not be totally so because it is the British government which sets the level of overall funding for the BBC through the application of a levy on television sets.
It is still open for critics to repeat the phrase that irritates all BBC folk - that the BBC is a "state broadcaster".
But as the BBC does not seem to have been given any compensating funds to pay for the World Service, this decision raises huge questions about the future.
Increasingly, the old radio services, especially on short wave, are going and are being replaced by online and television, such as the Persian TV service the BBC runs.
What future for them in the wider BBC landscape?
And what about BBC Monitoring, which monitors and translates foreign news sources and is funded by the World Service and government?
It might not quite have the power it once did -- BBC correspondents at Commonwealth conferences used to be cultivated by certain heads of state in case the BBC had monitored signs of a coup, usually martial music, on their national radio stations.
But it is of immense value in tracking trends and crises.
Will these services be more commercialised? After all, the BBC News website, as accessed from outside the UK, now carries advertisements. Should the World Service do so?
And it will presumably be the BBC which will now choose where the services should be directed.
The Foreign Office it would seem has lost an important tool of diplomacy. It will not be able to say that it wants, for example, more broadcasting to Burma or less to Africa.
Not such a bad thing, it might be argued. Perhaps the BBC will be able to make fewer policy-driven decisions and deliver ones driven more by demand.
In the Cold War it was easy. The BBC, Voice of America and Radio Free Europe knew what they were doing and knew why people listened.
The opposition put up their B team. Nobody was taken in by the old Radio Moscow, though the "Midnight in Moscow" theme tune was catchy.
There was even, I discovered after the Romanian revolution in 1989, a Romanian English-language radio station broadcasting abroad. It was largely run by a charming middle-aged chap who became the BBC translator during that crisis.
During the Falklands war, the British government set up its own short wave radio station called Radio Atlantico del Sur.
As I was in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, during that conflict I can confidently state that the only people who listened to it in my experience were myself and BBC colleagues checking on audibility, which was poor.
News and information is now a commodity in huge demand. In today's more open broadcasting environment, new thinking is required. But it would, most will agree I think, be a shame for the World Service to wither and die. I have lost count of the times that people in far-flung parts came up to me to express their gratitude - in Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa, the Middle East.
The world is not yet so free that it does not need as much access as it can get to free information.

The technology identifies a person from their thermal signature and matches infrared images with ordinary photos.
It uses a deep neural network system to process the pictures and recognise people in bad light or darkness.
However, the technology is not being used commercially yet, with one of its creators, Dr Saquib Sarfraz, saying: "There are no plans to roll it out."
Dr Sarfraz, who worked on the project with colleague Dr Rainer Stiefelhagen at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, told the BBC: "We have been doing research on face recognition already for several years and have a scientific interest in the problem.
"Our presented work on face recognition in thermal images is currently not used outside the research lab."
In tests, the technology had an 80% success rate, and worked 55% of the time with one image, and Dr Sarfraz said that "more training data and a more powerful architecture" could produce better results.
With a higher success rate, the tool could potentially be used by police to catch and identify criminals.
Dr Tom Heseltine, head of research for UK face recognition company Aurora, was impressed with the project.
"It is an interesting approach and a very significant improvement in accuracy," he told the BBC.
"Although the ability to recognise faces in the dark is not new, the ability to use thermal infrared and match against a standard colour photograph could open up some new specific applications areas.
"Questions may be raised about how susceptible the technology is to variations in body temperature.
"Their biggest advantage comes in that they could potentially operate in the dark without the need for active infrared illumination."
Daniel Nesbitt, research director of privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch, was keen to ensure that identification of individuals was undertaken correctly.
He told the BBC: "All facial recognition technology has the potential to be very invasive of an individual's privacy if done the wrong way.
"This new research makes it even more vital that facial recognition is properly covered by legislation and that strong safeguards are put in place to protect people from misuse.
"It is important that a serious and wide-ranging debate about all new technology of this type takes place. Our privacy cannot be forgotten no matter how innovative a new piece of technology may seem."
The service in Machynlleth was introduced as a compromise following the closure of the Potters Yard recycling centre in January 2015, but has now been withdrawn to save money.
Householders will now have to take their waste to Newtown, a 60-mile round trip, or pay £25 for collection.
Machynlleth councillor Michael Williams said it was "an outrage".
"It's a real big blow for the people of Machynlleth and Dyfi Valley, this bulky waste service has been really well received and well used," he said.
Mr Williams added Potters Yard had opened because of the high volume of fly tipping in the area.
"I find it hard to believe we will not go back to that volume of fly tipping again, I hope it won't happen but I wouldn't be at all surprised.
"I feel, and my constituents feel that it's a big, big mistake, there's outrage at this decision."
The decision to completely withdraw the service was taken by the council's cabinet on 10 May.
John Powell, cabinet member for environment and sustainability, said: "With the ever reducing budgets available to us, difficult decisions need to be made.
"Unfortunately we could no longer continue this service due to its high running costs."
Dora Linda Nishihara, 69, who worked as a courthouse bailiff, died after her car fell into the 12ft (3.6m) hole filled with water.
Her car was retrieved from the sinkhole by a crane on Monday, a day after it first appeared.
A second vehicle also fell into the hole and two other people were hurt.
The driver of the second vehicle was rescued by a witness, local media reported, but Ms Nishihara's vehicle had flipped on to its roof and was completely submerged.
The flow of water in the sinkhole was caused by a ruptured sewer line, local media reported.
Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau said her department was "heartbroken" and was assisting the family.
Led by player of the match Helen Housby, Thunder secured a comfortable 72-52 victory over Celtic Dragons.
Mavericks beat Loughborough Lightning 48-44, while defending champions Surrey Storm earned a first win of the season with a 57-35 victory over Northumbria on Friday.
Team Bath also recorded a second successive win with a 58-38 victory over Yorkshire Jets on Monday.
Manchester's attacking wizard Liana Leota continued her fine form on her home debut, linking up well with goal shooter Housby to give Thunder a 40-20 half-time lead.
Celtic Dragons came out fighting after the break and were able to slow Thunder's goal scoring rate, but the 2014 champions proved too strong and ran out easy winners.
In the second game of the day, Loughborough Lightning travelled to Hertfordshire Mavericks with both teams having recorded opening day victories.
Lightning struggled initially against a strong Mavericks defence, but they fought back to lead 25-22 at the second break.
In a tightly contested match, neither side were able to break away but errors from Lightning in the closing minutes were punished by the calm shooting of George Fisher as Hertfordshire edged out Loughborough.
England defender Eboni Beckford-Chambers impressed once again as her side saw off Yorkshire Jets in Sheffield.
Bath were ruthless in the first half, punishing Jets' errors to take a 10-point lead at the half-time break.
South African Vanes-Mari du Toit then moved from goal shooter to keeper for Jets but failed to make the desired impact.
Team Bath's shooters were deadly under the posts and they closed out a 20-point victory to maintain their perfect start.
A strong defensive performance saw Surrey Storm make amends for their opening day defeat by Team Bath.
Northumbria's Nicole Dixon became the first player in the 2016 season to be sent off for two minutes as she was dismissed for persistent fouling in the final quarter.
Her side were restricted to just 43 shots on target during the match and remain winless this campaign.
Storm's attacking trio of Rachel Dunn, Pamela Cookey and Georgia Lees were in full flow and former England international Cookey finished the game with a 100% shooting record.
The Flying Scotsman made the journey from London King's Cross to York, where it will go on display at the National Railway Museum (NRM).
It arrived in York about 13.20 GMT, almost an hour later than expected, after it was twice held up by reports of trespassers.
The engine, which retired from service in 1963, has been restored for the NRM.
As it happened: The Flying Scotsman's journey
Former MP turned TV presenter Michael Portillo said: "This is certainly the most famous journey and most famous locomotive in Britain."
The first disruption happened at about 09:00 near St Neots when the train was brought to a standstill while British Transport Police cleared the lines after reports of around 60 people on the track. No arrests were made.
Network Rail said the number of people on the trackside had caused "safety concerns" and resulted in a number of services, including Flying Scotsman, having to slow down."
The train was halted a second time north of Doncaster following reports of trespassers on the track which were later found to be false.
Crowds gathered at King's Cross for its scheduled departure at 07:40 and thousands lined the route, while some of the 297 passengers paid up to £450 for a ticket to travel on the train.
Among the passengers was 83-year-old Ron Kennedy, from Leigh-on-Sea, in Essex, who drove Flying Scotsman from 1956 until it was retired in 1963.
He said "It's unbelievable. I never dreamt about being on it again. To be out with it is just fantastic."
NRM director, Paul Kirkman, said the restoration project was a "long old journey" but added that it was "incredibly satisfying" to see the locomotive returned to service.
The locomotive undertook a series of test runs through Cumbria and Lancashire earlier this year.
The winning team shared a prize pool of $1m (£650,000) between them.
The team beat another from South Korea, called Koo Tigers, to take the title in the final, which took place in Berlin in front of 15,000 fans.
SKT1 won the final 3-1 but Koo was the only team they faced throughout the competition that managed to take a game off them.
"We've faced Koo many times in the past and obviously have a good track record with them," said SKT1 player Gyeong-hwan Jang in a post-match interview.
"We noticed that Koo didn't really change that much over the past year and we thought that it would be the same this time around - and it was," he said.
Mr Jang aka Marin was named as SKT1's most-valued player for his vital role in helping his team win their second title, although only two players from the 2013 triumph are still with the team.
Writing on the Rock, Paper Shotgun games news website, Philippa Warr said that SKT1 had a "phenomenal" run during the tournament but Koo Tigers provided stiff competition in the final.
However, she said, Koo's undoing was SKT1's relentless pressure across the game map that forced the Tigers to make mistakes in key stages.

On Monday the acting attorney general was sacked for questioning the legality of Mr Trump's immigration directive.
It imposes a temporary travel ban on seven mainly-Muslim countries.
Acting Attorney General Sally Yates had been appointed by President Barack Obama.
Democratic Senators from the Finance Committee told reporters outside the hearing for health and treasury nominees that they were seeking more information about Tom Price's trading in health company stock.
The Georgia Congressman has been nominated for the post of health and human services secretary in the new administration.
The senators said they were also concerned by reports of financier Stephen Mnuchin's behaviour involving foreclosures at his former bank OneWest.
The unexpected walkout by Democrats during scheduled votes to advance two of Donald Trump's more controversial cabinet nominees may be the first shots that lead to total partisan warfare on Capitol Hill.
Democratic senators had been subjected to growing criticism from the grass-roots Left for being too accommodating to Mr Trump and his nominees. On Sunday, for instance, more than 200 protesters descended on Senator Diane Feinstein's California house after she voted to confirm four earlier administration nominees.
Now, it seems, Democrats could be heeding the anger of their base and taking a more combative posture toward Republicans in general and Mr Trump in particular. These politicians likely saw Acting Attorney General Sally Yates become a liberal hero for defying the president on Monday night and are recognising that their party's anger is a force that could propel their careers or tear them apart.
This does not bode well for Mr Trump's Supreme Court nominee, who will be announced on Tuesday night. While Senate Democrats have had to rely on byzantine parliamentary manoeuvres to delay Mr Trump's cabinet picks, they have a powerful weapon - the filibuster - at their disposal to indefinitely block the president's high court selection.
But Senator Orrin Hatch, the Republican committee chair, described the Democrats' behaviour as "posturing and acting like idiots", AP reported.
A battle also raged in the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Mr Sessions came under heavy criticism.
An early Trump backer, Senator Sessions has faced racism allegations which overshadowed his confirmation hearings.
Committee chairman Senator Chuck Grassley began Tuesday's meeting by saying that neither Mr Sessions nor any of his current staff, "had a role in formulating or drafting the executive orders" - including the controversial travel ban.
Several Democratic Senators spoke in the committee meeting to say that they intended to vote against the 69-year-old Alabama senator.
Sen Diane Feinstein criticised his role in Mr Trump's election campaign and his closeness to the new president during it.
"It is very difficult to reconcile for me the independence and objectivity necessary for the position of attorney general with the partisanship this nominee has demonstrated," she said.
The Democrats' lengthy speeches extended the hearing into the afternoon, eventually forcing Sen Grassley to postpone the vote until Wednesday.
If Mr Sessions' nomination is approved by the judiciary committee, the full Senate - where Republicans hold a 52-48 majority - is expected to vote on it by the end of the week.
Early on Tuesday, Mr Trump expressed his frustration at the wait in confirming Mr Sessions' appointment.
He tweeted: "When will the Democrats give us our Attorney General and rest of Cabinet! They should be ashamed of themselves! No wonder D.C. doesn't work!"
"The Democrats are delaying my cabinet picks for purely political reasons. They have nothing going but to obstruct," he added.
The Alabama senator faced two days of tough questioning during his confirmation hearings this month.
One of the most conservative members of the Senate, Mr Sessions was denied a federal judgeship in 1986 after the judiciary committee heard testimony about his remarks on race.
Also on Tuesday:
The attorney general is America's top prosecutor, leads the justice department and acts as the main adviser to the president on legal issues.
Ms Yates was sacked by President Trump, who accused her of "betraying" the justice department and being "weak on borders".
She had said in a letter that she was "not convinced" that the president's order on immigration was lawful.
Mr Trump replaced her with Dana Boente, a federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia.
The immigration order, signed by the president on Friday, temporarily banned nationals from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the US. It sparked protests in the US and abroad.
The White House has consistently defended Mr Trump's executive order despite the controversy, with press secretary Sean Spicer saying diplomats should "get with the programme".
The 20-year-old from Seaforde clocked 2:03.70 at the British Para-swimming trials for Rio in Glasgow.
Firth, a 2012 London Paralympics gold medallist, had already achieved the 100m breaststroke and 100m backstroke qualifying times at the trials.
She will compete in the 200m Individual Medley on Wednesday.
Firth won the 200m freestyle by two seconds from Jessica-Jane Applegate with Chloe Davies back in third.
The Co Down woman represented Ireland at the 2012 Games before her decision to switch allegiance to Great Britain in 2013.
Last year Firth had to pull out of the British team for the IPC World Championships because of a broken wrist.
After this week's British trials, Firth will head to Madeira for the European Championships which take place in Madeira from 30 April to 7 May.
Daw hynny er gwaethaf gostyngiad yng nghyfanswm y nifer sy'n gwylio rhaglenni ar wefan y sianel neu'r BBC iPlayer.
Yn ôl yr adroddiad, mae nifer y sesiynau gwylio ar S4C Arlein a'r iPlayer wedi gostwng i 7.6 miliwn yn 2016/17.
8.4 miliwn oedd wedi gwylio yn 2015/16.
Roedd gostyngiad yn nifer y gwylwyr i'r sianel ledled y DU i 9.1 miliwn, o'i gymharu â 9.9 miliwn yn ystod yr un cyfnod y llynedd.
Ond roedd S4C wedi llwyddo i ddenu 18 miliwn o sesiynau gwylio i gynnwys y sianel ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol megis Facebook, Twitter a YouTube. Does dim data cyfatebol ar gyfer 2015/16.
Wrth ysgrifennu yn yr adroddiad, dywedodd y prif weithredwr Ian Jones fod S4C wedi "pasio" rhai o'r canlyniadau gorau gafodd eu nodi llynedd, ond roedd angen dod o hyd i esboniad am y gostyngiad yn y gwylwyr ar wefannau S4C a'r BBC.
Ysgrifennodd Ian Jones: "Mae 'na un mesurydd sydd yn codi cwestiynau, ac yn galw am ragor o ddadansoddi - sef y cwymp yn y niferoedd sy'n gwylio cynnwys S4C ar y BBC iPlayer.
"Mi fydd angen i waith barhau ar hynny, ond mae mantais ein presenoldeb ar yr iPlayer yn glir o hyd."
Roedd cynnydd yn nifer yr ailddarllediadau ar S4C, gyda 63% o'r amserlen yn cyfateb i raglenni sydd wedi'u dangos yn barod.

The Adcocks, who won badminton gold in the same venue at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, took the match 21-10 21-13.
"It was great to get into the arena and we're really happy with the performance," Gabby Adcock said.
The pair are trying to become Britain's first world champions since 2006.
Chris Adcock and his previous partner Imogen Bankier were the last British athletes to win a medal at the event - claiming silver in 2011.
"It's a Worlds so anything can happen but we want to be in the medals - we've made no secret of that target," Chris Adcock told BBC Sport.
The Adcocks, who are the fifth seeds in the mixed-doubles event at the Emirates Arena, will face Japanese 11th seeds Kenta Kazuno and Ayane Kurihara in the next round.
Men's singles second seed Lee Chong Wei suffered a shock opening-round loss to Frenchman Brice Leverdez.
The Malaysian, who is a three-time Olympic silver medallist and has been a runner-up at the World Championships a further three times, saved match point twice in the second set.
However, the 34-year-old could not complete his comeback, with Leverdez securing the biggest win of his career.
Rio Olympic men's singles champion Chen Long suffered no such problems, dispatching Georges Julien Paul of Mauritius 21-7 21-9.
Women's singles number one seed Akane Yamaguchi of Japan progressed to the last 16 with a 21-6 21-13, defeat of Danish player Line Kjaersfeldt.
Scottish duo Martin Campbell and Patrick MacHugh progressed to the second round of the men's doubles event with an impressive 21-13, 21-18 defeat of Dutch pair Jacco Arends and Ruben Jille.
Wednesday will see British Olympic bronze medal-winning duo Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis begin their campaign in the men's doubles event.
European silver medallist Kirsty Gilmour of Scotland, Britain's best hope of success in the women's singles competition, competes for the first time on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old, who played for New Zealand in the World Rugby Sevens Series, has previously appeared for Crusaders in Super Rugby.
Tuitavake made his Tonga debut against Fiji earlier this year.
"He is an exciting talent who has all the attributes to be a success here and we look forward to welcoming him," said Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder.
Tuitavake added: "I have really enjoyed my time at Narbonne, but the opportunity to join Northampton was one I could not resist.
"They are a world-renowned club with some amazing players and I can't wait to get started."
David Pountney, who is also the company's artistic director, was awarded the Order of Merit at a ceremony in Vienna.
It recognises outstanding contributions to co-operation between Poland and other nations.
He was honoured for staging Polish opera in his role as director of the Bregenz festival in Austria since 2003.
Foreigners and Polish citizens living abroad are eligible for the award.
Mr Pountney, who joined WNO in 2011, has worked on operas by Polish artists including Karol Szymanowski's King Roger, Mieczyslaw Weinberg's The Passenger and the forthcoming premiere of Andre Tchaikowsky's The Merchant of Venice.
"Polish opera has an emotional intensity, a resonance", said Mr Pountney, who pointed to the difficult history that Poland had endured under long periods of foreign domination.
"These people have been through suffering and you can feel it in the music.
"That is what opera does. It brings feelings. Music describes something beyond words."
In response to the honour, Mr Pountney said: "I feel a deep gratitude and honour to receive this award. I am delighted that the Bregenz Festival could contribute to the dissemination of the culture of Poland.
"I knew in this case, we had really done a lot for Polish culture at the festival. We had uncovered two Polish composers that Poland had forgotten."
The work of Karol Szymanowski had its world premiere at the Bregenz Festival after being banned under Communist rule.
Since being performed at Bregenz, Szymanowski's operas have been performed by the English National Opera in London and by companies in Houston, New York, Chicago, France, Poland and Germany.
Mr Pountney added: "The arts are different to politics, the arts have a soft power. By allowing these operas to be performed we are changing, in a very small way, the history of music and theatre."
Tadcaster Grammar School has asked for "voluntary" contributions in response to "very significant rises in costs" - including teachers' pensions.
A letter from head teacher Martyn Sibley said the school needed to find an extra £1,100 per year per teacher.
One parent said it felt like an "imposition" to be asked to pay. The school is yet to comment.
State schools in England are allowed to ask for payments, but they must make clear there is no obligation to contribute.
The school, which is rated as "good" by Ofsted, has been consulting with parents on the amounts.
Chris McGovern, of the Campaign for Real Education, said: "It's not about money, it's about quality of teaching.
"The fact is, parents have to work within their own budgets and the school, I think, is making a mistake if it thinks the more money you spend, the better education you get."
The National Union of Teachers (NUT) said three out of four head teachers were worried about funding.
Richard Raftery, from the NUT, said: "I can fully understand why schools start doing desperate things.
"We've had anecdotal evidence of some schools saying to their staff - if you're ill and you're ringing in the morning, just see if you can drag yourself in later in the day because our supply budget is exhausted."
Mr Raftery added: "Across the whole range of things there will be a dismal impact and ultimately it comes back to the government not facing up to its responsibilities."
The Department for Education said it was taking "difficult decisions" necessary to ensure the national schools budget was protected.
North Yorkshire County Council said it was pushing for a fairer distribution of funding to schools.
Stephan Lichtsteiner gave the visitors the lead after the break when he tapped home a low cross from Alex Sandro.
However, Mauro Icardi equalised for the hosts just two minutes later with a header from a corner.
Substitute Ivan Perisic headed Inter in front after fine work from Icardi, and Juve - with Gonzalo Higuain on from the bench - could not find an equaliser, despite Ever Banega's late red card.
The result was only Juve's second Serie A defeat since they lost 1-0 to Sassuolo on 28 October, 2015.
The loss means the champions slip to second, behind Napoli, while Inter move up to sixth.
Frank de Boer only replaced Roberto Mancini in the summer but there were rumours that defeat on Sunday could have seen the Dutchman removed from his position as Inter boss.
The Nerazzurri were embarrassed 2-0 at home by Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the Europa League on Thursday, a result that prompted the former Ajax boss to apologise to fans and claim his side "lost their heads".
His position looked even more precarious when Switzerland international Lichtsteiner gave Juve an undeserved lead with 65 minutes on the clock.
However, Icardi powered home a fine header for his fourth league goal of the season and then showed great composure to pick out Perisic with a cross with the outside of his foot after rounding goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
It was a generally disappointing performance by the Turin side, champions in each of the past five seasons.
They had a great chance to take the lead in the first half when Sami Khedira headed straight at Samir Handanovic from six yards.
Higuain, the £75.3m summer signing from Napoli, was brought on with the scores at 1-1 but the Argentine's only chance saw him glance a header narrowly off target from a Sandro cross.
Inter forward Banega was sent off in the final minute for picking up a second booking but despite piling men forward Juve could not find a leveller in injury time.

Alan Blackman, 31, of no fixed address, was arrested after the animal was found hurt at a farm stables in Redenhall, south Norfolk, on 6 August.
Appearing via video link at Norwich Crown Court he admitted attempted intercourse with a horse and trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence.
Judge Stephen Holt called for a psychiatric report to be carried out before sentencing on 23 October.
Following the discovery of the injured horse, Norfolk Police circulated CCTV images of a man seen at the stables prior to the attack.
After the appeal was shared online, removals man Blackman took to Facebook to protest his innocence, saying people were "putting my name to a face which isn't me".
The man, who was armed with a knife, entered the bedroom of a flat in Ireton Street on Friday at about 14:45 BST.
He threatened the woman and stole her laptop. Police have said there were two other burglaries in the area on the same day.
A knife was left behind following a burglary at a house on the same street.
On this occasion, a games console and games were taken. A tablet and camera were also stolen from a house in India Street.
The shot of the lunar module Eagle ascending from the moon's surface is one of only a few known to exist with the signatures of Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins.
It was given to John Cleveland, whose firm arranged limousines for the astronauts during a 1969 London visit.
It was bought by a space museum in the USA at an auction in Wiltshire.
The 7in (18cm) square shot of the lunar module being guided from the moon's surface by Aldrin and Armstrong was taken by Collins, who stayed on the spacecraft throughout the mission.
It was given to Mr Cleveland as a thank you by the astronauts after he refused to take any payment for the limousines he had supplied.
The Apollo 11 crew were in Britain to receive congratulations from the Queen and Prime Minister Harold Wilson just three months after beating the Russians to complete the first manned mission to the moon.
Mr Cleveland was contacted by the US Embassy as he had a Ford-branded stretched limousine, which the crew preferred to the more traditional Rolls-Royce or Daimler.
Andrew Aldridge, from Henry Aldridge and Son in Devizes, said: "To have all three astronauts autograph a photo is unusual.
"But to have them signing a photo of the Eagle module... only months after arriving back on Earth in October 1969 is exceptional."
Hidden from public view for 47 years, the photograph was sold along with an official itinerary for the crew's day by Mr Cleveland's widow.
While HIV infection rates have been falling globally in the past 10 years or so, among adolescents in some regions they have been on the rise - prompting fears of a "hidden epidemic".
One in eight new HIV infections occurs in this group of young people.
In Asia, according to a recent Unicef report, the epidemic is growing fastest in young gay and bisexual men. And one of the factors behind this trend is thought to be an increase in casual sex with multiple partners, driven by mobile dating apps.
Nest is 19 and lives in Bangkok, Thailand. He uses mobile apps like Grindr and Growlr to meet and date other gay adolescents.
"I don't like to have sex at the first meeting, I prefer to chat and get to know the person first," he says.
"But some of my friends just meet up for sex. If you go on Growlr, there will be around 50 guys available during the day, or 100 at night."
Nest practises safe sex but not with his regular partners. It took time for him to build up the courage to go for his first HIV test and he was relieved to find he was in the clear.
"I was very tense. I read all about HIV on the internet and what would happen if I got a positive result. I've been safer since then."
Like many other adolescents, Nest is using dating apps to hook up to a sexual network and meet people nearby for casual sex.
Wing-Sie Cheng, Unicef regional advisor for HIV and Aids in Bangkok, says she suspects many young men and women are being put at risk.
"It's not just one to one, it's one to many, so the risks of acquiring HIV go up."
Although there is no evidence directly linking apps to HIV infection rates, their increasing prevalence means there is a "need to sound alarm bells", she adds.
Adolescence is traditionally a time when teenagers engage in risky behaviour and look to experiment and gain more independence.
The rise in ownership of smartphones and the popularity of social media has opened up opportunities for them to express themselves.
And that's prompted organisations like Unicef to start working with the companies running dating apps to help users act responsibly.
This age group is vulnerable and needs support - and using social media to offer that is obvious, Wing-Sie Cheng says.
"We need to communicate with them in a way they recognise, in their language.
"Our role is not to judge them but to facilitate access to health services."
Gay dating app, Blued, is one of the most popular of its kind in China. Unicef has worked with it to put a red ribbon on every picture to remind users about Aids. The app also provides information on how and where to go for an HIV test.
With more than one million active users across 192 countries, Grindr is the largest and probably the best-known gay platform. The app now encourages users to go for an HIV test and points them towards the nearest testing centre.
The aim is to raise HIV testing rates to 90% in at-risk groups. At present, they vary widely across different regions.
But there are other issues to be confronted too.
Parental consent is needed before a teenager can take an HIV test in many countries, with 11 in Asia including Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.
Although this requirement is intended to protect under-18s, it also makes adolescents less likely to go for a test because they have to involve their parents.
Rather than being a useful protective measure, parental consent has become a barrier to testing and treatment, experts say.
In other regions of the world, adolescents are vulnerable too - but for different reasons.
In sub-Saharan Africa, it's girls who are most at risk of HIV because of high rates of teenage pregnancies, child marriage and poverty.
In areas where drug usage is high and sex work is common, HIV tends to flourish too.
A paper published in the Journal of the International AIDS Society described some of the many challenges faced by teenage girls.
"Often adolescent girls do not know where and how to obtain the health services they need. Even when they are able to obtain health services, they are often reluctant to do so because of fears about privacy, confidentiality, of being judged and of being treated with disrespect."
In every region of the world, HIV affects different groups of young people in different ways, making the solution unique to each location.
However, Dr Venkatraman Chandra-Mouli, an expert in adolescent sexual and reproductive health at the World Health Organization, says there is one common failing - and that's a lack of proper sex and sexuality education.
"Girls find out about sex from their sisters and cousins, or in the playground. Their mothers don't talk to them, their teachers skip the relevant chapters at school."
And yet if they have access to the internet, in just a few clicks they can be viewing hard core pornography.
Inadequate sex education for boys and girls is a global problem, he says, and it means young people are growing up without understanding puberty, relationships, how to make responsible choices and without the life skills they need.
Dr Chandra-Mouli admits getting sex or sexuality education right isn't easy - but it's possible, as a number of countries, such as Estonia, Sweden and Colombia have demonstrated.
He believes the rewards will make the end of the AIDS epidemic more likely - a global target for 2030.
"This is a 'never before' moment in adolescent health," he says.
"HIV is a key priority - but this isn't just about a lack of contraception."
Good sexual education means young people will feel more comfortable about who they are and what they should do to stay healthy.
In a technology-obsessed adolescent world, sexual health and mental health appear to go hand in hand.
The force is considering referring itself to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
It follows a report that found officers changed statements and tried to blame Liverpool fans for the crush in 1989 which killed 96 people.
An investigation has also begun into West Yorkshire's chief constable, who was off-duty at Hillsborough.
The crush was the result of overcrowding at the start of the FA Cup semi-final on 15 April 1989.
On Wednesday, the Hillsborough Independent Panel, which spent two years trawling through more than 450,000 pages of documents relating to the disaster, reported on its findings.
Police bosses, including South Yorkshire's current chief constable, said charges should be brought if laws were broken.
In a statement the force said: "South Yorkshire Police is currently reviewing a wide variety of matters raised in the report of the Hillsborough Independent Panel with a view to making a referral to the Independent Police Complaints Commission."
Should such a referral be made, it is common practice that the IPCC be informed of which specific officers should be investigated.
South Yorkshire Police confirmed 195 officers who were on duty at Hillsborough still work for the force.
West Yorkshire's police authority is to investigate the role played by current chief constable, Sir Norman Bettison, who was an off-duty inspector with South Yorkshire Police at the game and took part in an internal inquiry after the 1989 tragedy.
The Authority Chairman, Councillor Mark Burns-Williamson, said the matter has been referred to the Special Committee which oversees all conduct and complaints matters involving chief officer ranks.
Campaigners had called for Sir Norman, who has insisted the behaviour of some fans in the stadium made the job of the police "harder than it needed to be", to stand down.
Mr Burns-Williams said: "The Committee will review the report in detail along with any other relevant information, in consultation with South Yorkshire Police and will take whatever action is appropriate."
The Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson has called for former Conservative MP Sir Irvine Patnick to be stripped of his knighthood after he was criticised in the report.
By Dominic CascianiBBC home affairs correspondent
The next chapter in the Hillsborough fight for justice is about to begin with pressure growing for prosecutions and fresh inquests.
The most obvious possible crime relates to how police statements were changed. Legal experts say that could amount to a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
The key test for the director of public prosecutions will be whether the documents amassed by the Hillsborough panel provide a realistic chance of a conviction after all these years - and that means a jury would have to be convinced beyond reasonable doubt that there was a cover-up.
As for inquests, families now have a legal argument that the original verdicts are tainted by failings in the original hearings and the discovery of new facts.
The attorney general alone has the power to ask the High Court to order fresh hearings - and judges will do so if they find that it is in the interests of justice to do so.
Cloud over Liverpool 'lifted'
Hillsborough Report: Your reaction
Sir Irvine, former Sheffield Hallam MP, was identified as being one of the sources for The Sun's story headlined "The Truth", which contained false allegations against fans.
Mr Anderson said he has "brought the Honours system into disrepute" and helped to bring "overwhelming misery" to the people of Liverpool.
An e-petition has been set up to on the city council's website for the removal of Sir Irvine's knighthood, which has so far been signed by more than 1,600 people.
Sir Irvine said he was "deeply and sincerely sorry" for the part he played, adding: "It is now clear that the information I received from some police officers at the time was wholly inaccurate, misleading and plain wrong.
"However I totally accept responsibility for passing on such information without asking further questions.
"So many years after this tragic event I am deeply and sincerely sorry for the part I played in adding to the pain and suffering of the victims' families."
Mr Anderson has also asked Liverpool John Moores University to strip Sir Norman of an honorary fellowship conferred on him in 2004.
A spokeswoman for the university said: "This request will receive due consideration."
The report published on Wednesday by the Hillsborough Independent Panel found police amended 164 of the statements made about the tragedy.
Of those, 116 were substantially changed to "remove or alter comments unfavourable" to the force.
The report also found that 41 of the 96 who died had the "potential to survive" and calls have been made for fresh inquests.
The IPCC said the Hillsborough Independent Panel's report raised "extremely serious and troubling issues for the police".
A spokesman said the commission is reviewing the new documentation and awaiting a referral from South Yorkshire Police.
They added: "We also await the decision by the Attorney-General in respect of the inquests, and will liaise with the relevant parties to identify what should be investigated, and by whom."
Richard Wells, who led South Yorkshire Police from 1990 to 1998, said charges were "absolutely essential", and the force's current chief constable David Crompton said if statements have been falsified against the law, prosecutions should be brought.
A Home Office spokesman added: "It's important that any allegations of criminal misconduct are investigated swiftly and thoroughly and anyone who is found to have broken the law is brought to justice."
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said a quick decision is expected from the Attorney General on whether the inquests will be reopened, and prosecutions will be considered.
He added: "Lessons need to be learned, actions need to follow quickly."
Other reactions from senior figures and families to the report have included:
Major General Asim Bajwa painted a clear picture.
"We are going after terrorists of all hue and colour," he told journalists at a briefing on the Pakistani army's operation against militant havens in North Waziristan.
Conjuring visions of the Stalingrad "kettle" in World War Two, he said Pakistani troops now had the whole area surrounded: "They cannot escape."
But many reports, as well as footage obtained by the BBC, suggest some militants at least got away and some shades of "terrorist" may still be safe.
This is the operation many inside and outside Pakistan say should have begun long ago, as North Waziristan was allowed to become a veritable warehouse for all brands of Islamic militancy.
It's from there that the Pakistani Taliban have been mounting their deadly suicide offensive for the past seven years, killing thousands of people across Pakistan.
The Pakistani Taliban are the chief target of Operation Zarb-e-Azb - named after the sword of the Prophet Muhammad.
But also thought to be in the army's crosshairs are al-Qaeda, and Uzbek militants who claimed to have carried out last month's deadly attack on Karachi airport.
As those devastating images flashed around the world, the operation in North Waziristan finally got the go-ahead after years of stalling.
The delay has done severe damage to Pakistan "both internally and internationally", says former army spokesman Maj-Gen Athar Abbas.
Hundreds of thousands of people have now been displaced from North Waziristan by the army offensive.
But there are also widespread reports many militants escaped, or were alerted beforehand - including members of the Haqqani network, blamed for a string of high-profile attacks in Afghanistan.
It's almost impossible to find out what is happening inside the tribal area now.
Difficult for outsiders to enter at any time, the army has barred all access.
But the BBC has obtained footage from a professional cameraman who got into North Waziristan with help from the Taliban, as the campaign began.
He spent a week travelling there, filming the aftermath of several Pakistani strikes - although he admits he was not allowed to record everything he saw.
We can't identify him for his own security.
At one point, he met a local Taliban commander who was escaping across the border to Afghanistan in his pick-up, just a short drive down the road.
But underlining fears of a potential backlash, the commander vowed to take revenge on Pakistan "until doomsday".
Militants were killed in some strikes, people in the border village of Gorbaz told the cameraman, but claimed civilians had perished too.
Uzbek militants had reportedly been using the same border area as a base.
The Pakistani army says it is only targeting "terrorist sanctuaries" and in his briefing Maj-Gen Bajwa said they had killed 376 "terrorists" so far.
He also released pictures of suspected bomb-making factories found by ground troops - which were churning out explosive devices for suicide attacks.
But pressed on the identities of those killed, he was less forthcoming. And what about "the Haqqanis", journalists asked. Were they classified as "terrorists" too?
Many say the carnage of the past few years is the inevitable consequence of Pakistan co-opting militant groups to pursue its strategic goals.
It's the military's powerful intelligence agency, the ISI, who have overseen this policy - and the Haqqani network based in North Waziristan is widely seen as one of their best clients.
But unlike many other groups, it has stayed loyal.
Haqqani fighters are thought to be behind a string of high-profile attacks in Afghanistan on US and Indian targets - allegedly carried out with Pakistani backing.
And it was clear none of the officials at the briefing wanted to disavow them. But "we don't want any terrorist, Haqqani or not Haqqani, on Pakistani soil", said Abdul Qadir Baloch, the minister responsible for the tribal areas.
So the message from North Waziristan seems to be that the hand that has been bitten is now biting back.
But not all militants will feel the same pain. | A court in Germany has ruled that circumcising young boys for religious reasons amounts to bodily harm.

The internet is changing. From a medium based almost entirely on text, it is now becoming increasingly picture-led. An estimated 1.8 billion images are uploaded every day to social networks such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Good news for aspiring photographers, bad news for blind or partially sighted users who often have no way of telling what is in an image - despite the available modern assistive technologies.
But a new service from Facebook, being launched on Tuesday, is attempting to remedy that.
Blind people use sophisticated navigation software called screenreaders to make computers usable. They turn the contents of the screen into speech output or braille. But they can only read text and can't "read" pictures.
Using artificial intelligence (AI), Facebook's servers can now decode and describe images uploaded to the site and provide them in a form that can be read out by a screenreader.
Facebook says it has now trained its software to recognise about 80 familiar objects and activities. It adds the descriptions as alternative text, or alt text, on each photo. The more images it scans, the more sophisticated the software will become.
Some of the objects the new technology can recognise are:
The man behind the development is Matt King, a Facebook engineer who lost his sight as a result of retinitis pigmentosa - a condition which destroys the light sensitive cells in the retina.
"On Facebook, a lot of what happens is extremely visual," King says. "And, as somebody who's blind, you can really feel like you're left out of the conversation, like you're on the outside."
The technology that King and his team have developed uses Facebook's in-house object-recognition software to decipher what an image contains. It has been trained to recognise items such as food and vehicles.
"Our artificial intelligence has advanced to the point where it's practical for us to try to get computers to describe pictures in a meaningful way," King says.
"This is in its very early stages, but it's helping us move in the direction of that goal of including every single person who wants to participate in the conversation."
The system currently describes images in fairly basic terms such as: "There are two people in this image and they are smiling."
Last month, Twitter added a similar function which enables users to manually add their own descriptive text to images. Although the descriptions may be better, it requires users to actively choose to do it, whereas Facebook's new system automatically tags every photo.
King and Facebook would like the system to go one step further and use face recognition to identify people in a picture by name with help from their database of users, but others are resisting the idea on privacy grounds.
For King, it is a matter of principle - he says sighted and visually-impaired people should have equal access to the content posted online. Sighted people know who is in many of the photos they see, so blind people should also be allowed that same privilege, he believes.
"I feel I have a right to that information," he says. "I am asking for information that is already available to other people to be revealed to me. So I see it as a matter of fairness."
Jeff Wieland, head of the Facebook accessibility team, says the social networking site is investing in accessibility and devising strategies for different communities, to allow them to engage with it.
He says the site is "going to have dedicated teams thinking about how to get all these different communities on-board and connecting with each other. That is the chance for us to be equalisers and to really empower the world".

The Education Funding Agency (EFA) announced on Monday it was terminating the group's funding.
It cited serious concerns about the management and governance of the trust.
But Sir Greg Martin told BBC Radio 5 Live Investigates the withdrawal of funding had "no legal basis".
The Durand Academy Trust (DAT) runs an infant and junior school in Stockwell, south London, and a boarding school for older pupils in Midhurst, West Sussex.
It has more than 1,000 pupils at its three sites and received £17m from the government to set up the school for weekly boarders in 2014.
The trust owns the schools, while a charity owns the land on which the schools are built, and two private companies provide services from the school.
The EFA, which supports building and maintenance programmes for schools, academies, free schools and sixth-form colleges, says the trust has failed to clearly separate the academy, the Durand Academy Trust, from its charitable arm the Durand Education Trust (DET) and two other businesses - London Horizons Limited and GMG Resource Management.
It wants to ensure no director of the trust that runs the school is also a director of one of the private companies.
Sir Greg, who founded the Academy Trust and is the current chair of the trust's board of governors, said it had taken "very clear legal advice" as to whether there was a conflict of interest between the three separate parts of the trust and was told there was not.
He added that when the EFA wrote to the trust in July outlining its concerns, the trust responded and provided that legal advice but had heard nothing back.
However, according to the EFA Sir Greg is a director and sole shareholder of GMG Resource Management and DAT entered into a contract with GMG Resource Management when he was both executive head teacher at DAT and a trustee at DET.
In the letter to Sir Greg the EFA added: "The terms of the 2012 GMG contract were not market-tested or put out to tender (despite advice from the EFA that they should be), but were substantially those proposed by Sir Greg Martin."
It has also demanded £1.8m is paid back to the academy trust from the charity - the Education Trust - where it has been sitting in its bank account since at least February 2015.
It has also called for Sir Greg to resign or to be removed as chair of governors.
But Sir Greg said: "There isn't a conflict of interest that has been identified on any occasion. Let's ask the EFA what the conflict of interest is because they haven't told us."
He added: "We have been told we have failed to comply [with demands from the EFA] but if we are being asked to comply with something that we shouldn't or can't comply with then of course we won't comply."
In the letter to Sir Greg, EFA chief executive Peter Lauener said there had been "repeated and significant" breaches of the terms of the funding agreement.
The letter, dated 11 October, said the academy trust had failed to comply with six out of eight requirements set out by the EFA.
The letter also questions why the academy has been charged for the use of a leisure centre, on one of its own sites, by its pupils. | The former head of an academy chain has hit out at claims of financial mismanagement telling the BBC he "completely refuted" the allegations. | 37,671,445 | 707 | 32 | false |
The £110m Jubilee River opened in 2002, and was planned to reduce flooding in Maidenhead, Windsor, Eton and Cookham.
Wraysbury and Old Windsor residents say it has caused more homes to flood since it opened.
The agency said the scheme was working as planned and it may extend the river to protect more flood-prone areas.
Graham Sinclair, who lives in Wraysbury, said his neighbours were "very angry".
"It's grossly unfair that a man-made river can be to the benefit of some people and to the detriment of others," he said.
Flood warden Gillie Bolton who lives on Ham Island in Old Windsor, said: "I believe we are being used as sacrificial lambs to stop Maidenhead from flooding."
However, the Environment Agency says the Jubilee River has worked well to protect Maidenhead and Eton.
The Environment Agency's Barry Russell said a review had been held following similar floods in 2003, which found the Jubilee River was operating as planned.
He said the agency planned to extend the scheme to protect Wraysbury and Old Windsor in the future, but this would cost £256m.
"We have very extensive plans to continue the Jubilee River all the way down from Datchet down to Teddington.
"It's very expensive but it's got huge support," he said. | Work by the Environment Agency to control flood water on the Thames has been a "disaster" for Wraysbury, according to residents. | 25,727,040 | 309 | 33 | false |
Individual customers at Barclays, RBS, Lloyds Banking Group and Tesco Bank cannot currently buy or sell riyals.
Qatar is isolated by its neighbours, who accuse it of backing terrorism.
Its central bank says it will guarantee all transactions for customers inside and outside the country. It also told the Reuters news agency that all banks and foreign exchange companies are committed to trading riyals as usual.
In early June, Qatar's Gulf neighbours Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt ceased air, sea and land links with the country, which has been accused of funding terrorism. Qatar denies the claim.
The cutting of diplomatic ties by Qatar's neighbours has prompted wide fluctuations in the value of the country's currency.
A spokeswoman for Barclays said: "In common with other banks, Barclays' high street foreign exchange service is supplied by a third party, which has stopped providing the Qatari riyal.
"Unfortunately, we are therefore currently unable to buy the Riyal from or sell it to our retail customers."
A spokeswoman for Lloyds Banking Group also said that a "third-party supplier" which carries out its foreign exchange service had ceased trading Qatar riyals from 21 June.
She said: "This currency is no longer available for sale or buy-back across our high street banks including Lloyds Bank, Bank of Scotland and Halifax."
HSBC was unavailable for comment on its current position. Reuters reported that the Post Office had stopped buying and selling the currency earlier this month.
Currency supplier Travelex said trading in riyals had been suspended in some markets due to "business challenges".
But it added: "Travelex is pleased to announce it has resumed purchasing Qatar riyal globally." | A number of UK High Street banks have stopped trading in Qatari riyals. | 40,454,386 | 381 | 19 | false |
Gwynant Jones from Machynlleth, Powys, was attacked while out with friends at the Academy, Great Darkgate Street, Aberystwyth, on Saturday at 23:25 GMT.
Dyfed-Powys Police are hunting the attacker who was in fancy dress.
Mr Jones said he had been offered reconstructive surgery.
The computer programmer told Welsh language TV news programme Newyddion 9 he did not know his attacker and he explained how he felt a sudden pain and realised the severity of the wound when he put his hand to his left ear to find it bleeding heavily.
Mr Jones was taken to Bronglais General Hospital in Aberystwyth but he was referred to specialists at Swansea's Morriston Hospital.
Police are appealing for witnesses.
They said the suspect, approximately 20-years-old, was wearing a fancy dress outfit of an orange poncho and a black wig.
He is believed to have been with a group of women. One was wearing a white dress, another was in a nurse's uniform and a mask and a third was wearing a black dress.
Witnesses have been asked to call Aberystwyth CID on 101.
The government had been planning to bring in the new funding scheme in England from 2017-18 - but it will now apply from 2018-19, she said.
"We must get our approach right," Ms Greening told the Commons.
Labour's shadow education secretary Angela Rayner criticised the delay as "woeful".
And Neil Carmichael, chairman of Parliament's education select committee, who raised the issue in an urgent Commons question, asked why more delay was necessary.
"When does she really expect this programme to be fulfilled?" he asked.
He pointed out that the plan had already gone out to consultation earlier this year.
The government says the new formula is needed to tackle uneven levels of funding across England, with the best funded areas getting more than £6,300 per pupil per year, while the worst-funded averaging just £4,200 - but there are concerns that while some schools will benefit, a new formula could mean some schools in areas of need facing budget cuts.
Ms Greening told MPs she did not want to rush into changes without being sure of their ramifications.
In a written parliamentary statement, she said the first stage consultations on the new national funding formulae for schools and high needs, published in March, "have been met with an overwhelmingly positive response from head teachers, teachers, governors and parents".
"There is also a strong sense in the response to the first stage of the consultation that this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for an historic change and that we must get our approach right."
She said she would publish a full response to the first stage of the schools and high needs consultations and set out proposals for the second stage in the autumn.
"We will run a full consultation, and make final decisions early in the new year," she said.
"Given the importance of consulting widely and fully with the sector and getting implementation right, the new system will apply from 2018/19."
Ms Greening said the new timescale would allow local authorities to plan ahead.
In 2017-18 no local authority would see a reduction from their 2016-17 funding, adjusted to reflect authorities' most recent spending patterns, she said.
Ms Rayner called the plans "woeful and last minute" and said only this government would impose real terms cuts on schools across the country and call them fair.
Ms Greening said no school would lose funding.
Liberal Democrat education spokesman John Pugh urged the government to protect the school budget in real terms, adding that he was concerned that the announcement did not rule more out cuts to school budgets "which are already overstretched".
"It is not acceptable for the government to balance the books on the backs of school pupils but the new formula threatens to do just that."
The Association of School and College leaders said it accepted the reasons for the delay but was "extremely disappointed that no interim support had been put in place for the lowest funded schools" for which the ongoing delay was "potentially catastrophic".
National Union of Teachers general secretary Kevin Courtney said the announcement provided no new money and ignored genuine funding problems.
Earlier, the NUT and ASCL were among five unions to issue a joint statement calling for urgent increases in school budgets.
Instead, budgets were being cut in real terms as the government had frozen per pupil funding and loaded on extra costs such as higher pension contributions, the statement added.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, carried out the abuse over a nine-year period while he was a Hull City Council registered foster carer.
He admitted 10 charges of child sex offences including sexual assault at the city's crown court last year.
Last month, he was found guilty of rape and attempted rape of a child under 13.
Sentencing him at the same court, Judge Jeremy Richardson QC described him earlier as a "thoroughly wicked man".
He told the man: "You must be punished for these truly wicked crimes."
During his nine-year stint there were five complaints made against him with the final one relating to "sexually inappropriate remarks".
The children were immediately removed from his care and he was de-registered, the local authority said.
Jon Plant, children safeguarding manager at Hull City Council, said the authority had undertaken "detailed statutory assessments, including rigorous background checks" before approving the man for foster caring.
Mr Plant also said a safeguarding review had been carried out.
"Whilst there is always learning from cases, the review did not identify any missed opportunities to safeguard children in this case.
"On the first occasion that any concern was raised about possible harm to children, immediate steps were taken to ensure their safety. From this moment, the carer in question did not foster any further children."
But in court, the judge called for an inquiry "given the gravity of this case".
In a statement, the authority said: "We await, of course, the full report from the court and will give full consideration to the judge's comments."
Det Con Rachel Walton, of Humberside Police, said the man used his "position of trust to abuse two young children in his care, as well as his own granddaughter".
"This was a horrific case - one of the worst I have had to deal with in my career and, first and foremost, my thoughts are with the man's victims and their loved ones."
GPs and health planners are waiting to hear if the Welsh government will back their calls to help areas which have recruitment problems.
But Prof John Bligh, head of Cardiff University's school of medicine, said incentives had variable results.
A health board executive director for primary care said it was not the "golden bullet answer".
Hywel Dda University Health Board recently stepped in to directly manage two GP practices after they struggled to replace retiring doctors.
Catherine Davies, from the health board, said: "It's about offering career development. We want to attract the brightest, the best, the most driven.
"While it (incentives) is a helpful tool to have, it's by no means the golden bullet answer."
Prof Bligh added: "I would much rather doctors chose to work in an area because that's where they wanted to work, as opposed to having a debt reduction scheme or some similar process."
Over the last decade, the number of GPs in Wales increased by 10% to a total of 2,006, but that population is ageing and many family doctors are finding an increasing workload oppressive.
Dr Paul Myers, of the Royal College of General Practitioners in Wales, said: "I speak to a lot of GPs in the latter part of their career who say they can't wait to finish."
The British Medical Association has estimated Wales needs to be recruiting at least 200 trainee GPs a year to replace those retiring or going part-time.
But most years the current quota of 136 training places has not been filled.
Dr Ruth Hussey, chief medical officer for Wales, accepted there were pockets of Wales where recruiting GPs was challenging.
Ministers will publish a primary care workforce plan later this month which, Dr Hussey said, will look at overcoming the challenges to building a sustainable workforce and allow consultation on "what might work".

Thousands had attended the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP) final rally ahead of Sunday's vote.
The cause of the blasts is not clear, and the HDP leader has called for calm.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has described the blasts as a "provocation" intended to destabilise the upcoming general election.
HDP leader Selahattin Demirtas also said: "All our friends should very careful and not to give in to provocation."
The death toll was confirmed by Mehmet Mehdi Eker, a Diyarbakir MP and the country's agriculture minister.
Speaking at his own election rally in the nearby city of Gaziantep, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu promised an investigation into the explosion.
"Whatever is behind this incident... whether it was a power transformer explosion, an assassination attempt, an act of provocation - we shall investigate it and get the result as soon as possible," he said.
Energy Minister Taner Yildiz denied earlier statements that the explosion was caused by a fault in a generator at the rally site.
"It suggests there was an outside agent," he said, without providing further details.
The fortunes of the HDP as seen as key to the result of Turkey's election.
Health Minister Mehmet Muezzinoglu said at least 20 of the people who were injured in the incident have been hospitalised, according to the Associated Press news agency.
Under Turkey's electoral system a party needs to win 10% of the overall vote to enter parliament, which polls show the HDP are close to achieving.
If this does happen it may end the single party rule of President Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AK).
A couple stand out for me:
First it is worth noting just how far and fast Morrison has fallen. What it calls underlying profits was £901m two years ago. That fell to £785m last year, and it is forecast to be between £325m and £375 in the current year.
Or to put it another way, Morrison's profitability has crumbled almost two-thirds over three years.
Some of that is cyclical, the result of a squeeze on customers' living standards.
Much of it is secular, a permanent migration to cheaper rivals, and a shift in spending habits to local convenience stores and online shopping.
Only now is Morrison responding to what it sees as these permanent changes, by belatedly establishing convenience stores, forming a joint venture with Ocado in online shopping, and by what it calls a "reset" of "the profit base", in order to offer "best value, price and quality for customers".
In other words, it is reconciled to squeezing its profit margins, or to making less profit per customer, to try and fight back against the aggressive competition from Aldi and Lidl.
So, some of Morrison's woes are sui generis, a failure to make the right investments in IT and property over the past decade.
But some are relevant to all supermarkets.
Or, if Morrison is cutting profit margins in a significant way, won't its mainstream rivals Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda have to do something similar?
And another thing. Online is changing the economics of supermarkets in a fundamental way - and in a way that does not bode all that well for conventional stores.
The simple point is that the costs of selling from a store are relatively fixed, in the form of wages and rent, so additional sales from a store generate progressively bigger profits.
And the reverse is true. When sales fall in a store, profits will fall faster than those sales, because (to repeat) so many of the costs are set in stone.
So a big investment in online, of the sort that Morrison is doing, can undermine the profitability of stores in a fundamental way, by cannibalising sales.
Which would not matter if the intrinsic profitability of online was massively greater than for sales from stores.
But published results of Ocado don't exactly demonstrate that. And what's more, Morrison is sharing whatever profits it succeeds in generating online with Ocado.
All of which is to say (as if you didn't know) that there is something of a revolution going on in food retailing. And that revolution probably benefits us, shoppers, by delivering deflation in what we buy and more choice in how we buy.
But for the giant supermarket chains we traditionally regarded as fearsome and invincible, there's a threat which - if not quite existential - is pretty serious.
The Steam Packet Company said 36,500 people have so far travelled for the event, compared with 35,500 in 2016.
Last year's figures suffered a hit due to the unavailability of a fast ferry serving Northern Ireland.
Chief executive Mark Woodward said demand to travel during the TT remains "extremely high."
As well as the 36,500 passengers, the company said it had carried 14,037 motorcycles and more than 4,000 cars, vans and trailers.
Hundreds of passengers were stranded on the island this week after high winds cancelled sailings on Tuesday and Wednesday.
However, the majority were given bookings on alternative sailings within 24 hours.
The TT festival, which sees racers from all over the world reach speeds of 200mph on closed public roads, will conclude with the Senior race on Friday.
Races were cancelled on Thursday due to heavy downpours.

Labour MP Mr Field submitted a written parliamentary question to defence minister Harriett Baldwin, who in response said the Ministry of Defence (MoD) threw away 12,275 ORPs between April and December.
During the whole of the 2015/16 financial year 10,798 ORPs were disposed of, and 5,004 in the year before that.
Mr Field said the issue had been repeatedly raised by food banks, because of problems associated with catering for people who cannot cook or store food.
And he said he was "staggered" by the amount of food packages the MoD throws away.
"The number is going up and they're only destroying it. I just hope someone will look into it. Let's move it from one army to the army of the homeless," he said.
"These supplies are designed for people, in a sense, to eat on the run, and people in doorways are in a similar position.
"They're ideally constructed for when people haven't got much."
Out-of-date ORPs are withdrawn from use and disposed of according to current food safety legislation, Ms Baldwin said.
An MoD spokesman added: "Our stocks of ORPs are managed to make sure they are consumed within the two-year shelf life required to meet our food quality standards.
"We only undertake disposal of ORP as a last resort and only at a point when the product can no longer be consumed.
"Due to the changing nature of exercises or deployments, there will of course be occasions when ORP has not been issued before it becomes out of date."

Coe, a vice-president of athletics' world governing body, is bidding to succeed Lamine Diack in 2015.
The proposed reforms were outlined by Coe, 58, in London on Wednesday.
He said the plans were designed to increase the appeal of athletics "in a world that is rapidly changing".
"To many within and outside our sport, our calendar seems disjointed, lacks a narrative and the essential glue to build excitement and a loyal and passionate following," the two-time Olympic 1500m champion said.
"We need to be more innovative in how we project and present our sport to the world, both in venue and on screen, give serious consideration to an 'IAAF Street Athletics' circuit to help reach new audiences, and create a new IAAF division that has the sole purpose of focusing on youth engagement, especially via social media.
"I believe that it is essential that we open up a real debate and take a long hard look at the 'product' of athletics."
Having led the team that staged the London 2012 Games, Coe has been widely tipped to become the most powerful man in world athletics.
He has made no secret of his desire to succeed Senegalese Diack, 80, in charge of the International Association of Athletics Federations but is expected to be challenged by fellow vice-president Sergey Bubka, Ukraine's former pole vault world record holder.
The deadline for candidates to register as candidates for the presidency is May 2015. The election will take place at the IAAF Congress in Beijing in August.
This comes after an IS video appeared to show him being burned alive. Jordan confirmed the death, although the video's authenticity is being checked.
Officials told reporters a convicted jihadist Jordan had tried to exchange for the pilot would be executed.
The 26-year-old pilot was seized when his plane came down in Syria in December during a mission against IS.
Mamdouh al-Ameri, a spokesman for the Jordanian armed forces, said on Tuesday that Lt Kasasbeh had "fallen as a martyr".
"His blood will not be shed in vain. Our punishment and revenge will be as huge as the loss of the Jordanians."
The army also promised an "earth-shattering" response to his death.
Jordanian state TV reported that Lt Kasasbeh was killed a month ago. Since then Jordan had tried to secure his release as part of a prisoner swap, offering to free failed suicide bomber Sajida al-Rishawi in exchange.
Rishawi, an Iraqi national, is on death row for her role in attacks in the capital, Amman, that killed 60 people in 2005.
Jordanian officials are quoted as saying she would now be executed along with with three other convicted militants.
IS had sought her release as part of a deal to free captive Japanese journalist Kenji Goto. A video that appeared to show Goto's dead body appeared four days ago.
In Wednesday, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he had felt "an intense sense of anger" when hearing that the Jordanian pilot had been "horrifically burned to death".
Mr Abe expressed his solidarity with the Jordanian people and vowed not to "bow to terrorism".
Jordanians greeted the news with horror. Many have seen the gruesome video, barely edited, played over and over on television.
Hundreds gathered in the streets after dark, demanding revenge against Lt Kasasbeh's killers. Some also wanted to know why Jordan was involved in this fight at all.
The pilot's father was among supporters when the news came through. He and other family members have left the capital to mourn at home.
King Abdullah said Lt Kasasbeh had died defending his beliefs and homeland. The defence ministry said the pilot's blood would not have been shed in vain. It is promising a fitting punishment.
For many Jordanians, this has to begin with the quick execution of Sajida al-Rishawi, the failed al-Qaeda suicide bomber, jailed 10 years ago for her part in a spate of bombings against hotels here.
The video purportedly showing the pilot was posted online on Tuesday. It was distributed via a Twitter account known as a source for IS propaganda.
The highly produced 22-minute film shows what militants say is the pilot standing in a cage engulfed in flames.
The BBC's security correspondent, Frank Gardner, says it is aimed at a world already shocked by the calculated cruelty of Islamic State's actions.
Jordan's King Abdullah hailed Lt Kasasbeh as a hero, saying Jordan must "stand united" in the face of hardship.
The king decided to cut short a visit to the US after news of the pilot's death, but he met President Barack Obama on Tuesday evening before flying home.
Mr Obama earlier said that if the video was real, it would be "one more indication of the viciousness and barbarity" of IS.
"I think it will redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of the global coalition to make sure they are degraded and ultimately defeated," Mr Obama said.

Thirty firefighters tackled a blaze at a terraced house in Culdee Drive which was extensively damaged.
The man has been named locally as Barry Toal.
Neighbours put a ladder against a rear bedroom window in a bid to rescue Mr Toal who was inside the property, but he died in the fire.
Crews were called to the scene at 20:40 GMT on Friday. The ambulance service said two people were treated for the effect of smoke and fumes.
The NI Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) confirmed that five appliances were in attendance.
NIFRS Group Commander Mark Smyth said it was an "intense fire" and investigations as to how it started were ongoing.
The fire service said crews started operations on the first floor and roof space of the property.
It added that firefighters wearing breathing apparatus and using jets "were able to bring the fire under control quickly and prevent fire spread to adjoining properties, but unfortunately they discovered that a person had lost their life in the incident".
Crews attended from Armagh, Keady, Portadown and Lisburn.

The 33-year-old scored his 15th Premier League goal for struggling Sunderland in Saturday's 3-2 win over Chelsea.
Tottenham's Harry Kane (25) and Leicester's Jamie Vardy (24) are the only Englishmen with more top flight goals this season.
"He can still do it at the highest level," Allardyce told BBC Sport.
"His record tells Roy that if he needs to score goals at the Euros, Jermain Defoe is there," added Allardyce. "If he needs the option, Jermain Defoe is a very good option for him."
Defoe's winner at the Stadium of Light means a victory at home to Everton on Wednesday (19:45 BST) would guarantee the Black Cats' survival.
The former West Ham and Spurs striker has now scored 15 of Sunderland's 40 league goals this season, and his goals have earned 14 of their 35 points. He has 18 strikes in all competitions.
Hodgson names his 23-man squad for Euro 2016 on Thursday, with doubts over the fitness of Arsenal's Danny Wellbeck.
Kane, Vardy, Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge are expected to figure, with Arsenal forward Theo Walcott also in contention.
Defoe has 55 senior England caps but his last appearance was as a substitute in a 2-0 friendly defeat by Chile at Wembley in November 2013.
Allardyce added: "For the first time in a few years, he has consistently played week in, week out and delivered for us at Sunderland. He has delivered in a position people questioned whether he could deliver in, which is central striker on his own."
In the normal course of events these remarks might have been dismissed as routine rhetoric. But on this occasion they reflect what are likely to be the priorities of the new king. For Saudi Arabia finds itself surrounded by challenges, external and internal.
The last thing that the ruling family needed at such a sensitive time was a messy succession process. So it moved with uncustomary speed to deal with a number of potentially contentious issues.
The immediate announcement that Salman's half-brother Prince Muqrin would step up from deputy crown prince to the position of heir to the throne resolved one of them.
There had been mounting speculation on social media and among Saudi Arabia analysts that the new king might favour his full brother Ahmed over Muqrin.
Then came the announcement that a new deputy crown prince had been named. He is the Interior Minister, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the first of the younger generation of princes to step onto the ladder that leads up to the throne of Saudi Arabia.
The expectation was that the contentious decision of which of the younger princes should be given this honour would be postponed for as long as possible. Suddenly it has happened.
Clearly not all senior Saudis will be happy with the turn of events. Prince Ahmed himself must now know that he will never be king.
The sons of the late King Abdullah had looked well-placed to be leading candidates for the post of deputy crown prince - head of the National Guard Prince Mitaib in particular had been mentioned as a favourite.
But the differences of opinion within Al Saud will continue to be resolved in private and will not be allowed to undermine the solidarity of the family as a whole in a way that might threaten the kingdom's stability.
For maintaining security will be King Salman's chief priority. Hundreds of young Saudis have fought with Islamic State (IS) and are returning home inspired by jihadist ideology.
The policy of trying to prevent them carrying out attacks within Saudi Arabia will be accompanied by an intensified strategy of encouraging Islamic preachers and the teaching profession to warn young Saudis of the dangers of signing up to IS beliefs.
As part of the process of battening down the hatches King Salman is likely to be less inclined than Abdullah in seeking to intervene in the region's trouble spots.
While the kingdom will continue to support the Syrian opposition, for example, it might now look more favourably than in the past on initiatives that include a transitional solution that sees some members of the Assad regime remaining in power.
Likewise in Iraq, King Salman will remain committed to the anti-IS coalition but will also stand by Abdullah's refusal to commit troops there. The view among Saudi leaders is that the chief task of the armed forces is to protect the country's borders.
Indeed extra forces are likely to be sent to the southern border with Yemen. The recent rapid expansion of the Houthis, allegedly with support from Iran, at the expense of the Saudi-backed Yemeni government, is of increasing concern to the kingdom.
Then there is the continuing danger stemming from al-Qaeda activity in Yemen.
On the domestic front one should not expect major changes. King Salman is believed to be less in favour than his predecessor of political and social reform.
He is not likely to undermine the measures of the late king, but it would be a major surprise if women won the right to drive during the Salman monarchy.
Nor should one expect changes in policy that would appease critics of Saudi Arabia's human rights performance.
The elderly king will not be interested in risking a clash with the powerful religious establishment by trying to persuade them to agree to such amendments to Islamic law as would be necessary to make such changes.
A question mark hangs over the kingdom's oil policy. Will Saudi Arabia continue with its controversial policy of refusing to lower production - a move that has led to the global price collapsing?
The confirmation of Petroleum Minister Ali Naimi in his post suggests that it will. The longer that Saudi Arabia and other oil exporters can live with low prices, the thinking in Riyadh goes, the tougher the conditions will be for the North American shale oil and gas industry which is eating away at OPEC's market share.
So, some major changes and surprises have been seen at the top. But the underlining message seems to be that for Saudi Arabia under King Salman it will be pretty much business as usual - as long as the leadership succeeds in protecting the kingdom "from all evils".

Police said the 51-year-old man would appear at Livingston Sheriff Court on Monday.
Hamilton, from Glasgow, was previously one of Scotland's most wanted men.
He was released from prison in September 2014 but went missing in April last year. His body was found near West Calder on 17 December.
Det Supt Kenny Graham, from Police Scotland's major investigation team, said the investigation into Mr Hamilton's death was still ongoing in West Calder and nearby Blackburn.
He added: "Following this arrest we will be revisiting a number of people we have spoken to. We are also keen to hear from anyone else who may have information which may assist but who have not felt able to come forward before.
"We still have searches to conduct near the Five Sisters Business Park, as well as forensic work and other local inquiries in Blackburn, and this will be in conjunction with local officers who remain on high-visibility patrol in the area.
"I'm pleased with the support we have received from the local community in Blackburn - as well as information which has assisted my investigation, we have seen great engagement on a range of matters."
Hamilton was nicknamed the Blackhill Butcher, after the Glasgow housing estate from which he operated.
He had been on the police's most-wanted list before he was jailed in 2000 over a string of charges including drug dealing, torture, abduction and sodomy.

The 21-year-old ran 9.97 secs in Birmingham to become the first Briton to go under both 10 seconds in the 100m and 20 seconds in the 200m.
He clutched his leg after crossing the line in second place behind American Marvin Bracy (9.93) and was taken from the track in a wheelchair.
Dina Asher-Smith, 19, ran the second quickest 200m by a British woman.

On a successful day for Britain's sprinters, Asher-Smith finished third in a personal best 22.30 secs.
The British 100m record holder was just a hundredth of a second adrift of winner Jeneba Tarmoh and Allyson Felix in second, who both clocked 22.29 secs.
"I'm really happy," Asher-Smith told BBC Sport. "I was looking to get somewhere around my personal best so to run 22.30 is just out of this world."
The pair's performances sated athletics fans in the absence of double Olympic champion Mo Farah, who withdrew from men's 1500m on the morning of the competition.
Farah said he was "emotionally and physically drained" after a "stressful week" that saw a BBC investigation allege his coach Alberto Salazar had been involved in doping.
European 200m champion Gemili's form in the week leading up to the race had promised a special performance in Birmingham.
He recorded a wind-assisted 9.97secs last Sunday and, on a cloudless day at the Alexander Stadium, set a personal best 10.00secs in the heats, which he went on to better in the final.
"I felt my hamstring go as I dipped, but I'm in good spirits," Gemili said.
"British sprinting is really stepping up and I'm glad to be a part of it."
Richard Kilty also set a personal best time of 10.05secs in finishing fifth, while fellow Briton Chijindu Ujah was sixth in 10.11secs.
Five Britons had previously dipped under the 10-second mark: Linford Christie (9.87), James Dasaolu (9.91) Chijindu Ujah (9.96), Dwain Chambers (9.97) and Jason Gardener (9.98).
He recorded the second quickest 200m by a Briton when he won gold in Zurich last year in a time of 19.98 secs.
Elsewhere at the Diamond League event, Olympic champion Greg Rutherford won the men's long jump by equalling his second longest jump ever, a season's best 8.35m leap.
Laura Muir set a personal best 2:00.42 to finish second in the women's 800m. It was a race comfortably won by Kenya's Eunice Jepkoech Sum, unbeaten over the distance this season, in 1:59.85.
British record holder Tiffany Porter (12.65) came third in the women's 100m hurdles, as did compatriot Laura Weightman (4:06.42) in the women's 1500m.
Finally, having initially had what was an African-record throw deemed a foul, Julius Yego's 91.39m effort in the javelin was later declared legal - winning the Kenyan the competition and putting him ninth on the all-time list.
While the pro-EU campaign - Britain Stronger In - has set up a Scottish operation, the UK-wide leave campaigns have yet to do so.
Mr Farage said he was trying to broker a merger between the Leave.EU and Vote Leave campaigns.
He added: "There is a bit more coming together to do before we're properly ready."
Meanwhile, Stronger In has confirmed that John Edward, a former head of the European Parliament office in Scotland, will be their chief campaign spokesman in Scotland.
Mr Edward said: "We're keen to get our team in place, so that if the referendum is called we're ready to go."
The campaign has already appointed former Labour MP Frank Roy as their director in Scotland, with former SNP media chief, Kevin Pringle, providing communications advice.
Stronger In will not be an umbrella organisation for the political parties that support the UK remaining in the EU.
Mr Edward said: "For us the aim is to be a non-party campaign, people based, talking up the benefits of EU membership for Scotland and the broader UK."
Of the six political parties with elected parliamentarians in Scotland, only one - UKIP - is formally backing UK withdrawal from the EU.
UKIP's sole parliamentarian in Scotland is David Coburn, who won a seat in the European Parliament in the 2014 election.
With most politicians in Scotland favouring the EU, Mr Farage conceded that the leave campaign would be "more difficult" here.
He was speaking before it emerged that the acting chairman of UKIP in Scotland had resigned following a court appearance.
Mr Farage said: "At the moment, the leave campaign in Scotland is a bit embryonic.
"But let's not forget this great myth that somehow Scotland's wonderfully in love with the European Union.
"There's been precious little debate on this issue in Scotland".
The leaders of the other parties in Scotland - the SNP, Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens - have all said they will campaign for an "in" vote.
It is possible that some Labour and Conservative MSPs could back Brexit, but none have so far declared.
The Scottish Labour leader, Kezia Dugdale, said the "overwhelming majority" of her group at Holyrood want the UK to stay in.
There is a Scottish Labour Leave campaign fronted by the former MP and government minister, Nigel Griffiths.
He spoke at the launch of the Labour Left Leave campaign in Glasgow over the weekend.
The Scottish Conservative leader, Ruth Davidson, said "many" Tory MSPs, like her, back continued EU membership.
The former Conservative MSP, Brian Monteith, has been appointed head of press by the Leave.EU campaign.
The first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said "no SNP parliamentarian has expressed a desire to campaign for the out campaign".
There are Brexit supporters in the wider party, with its former deputy leader, Jim Sillars, saying will campaign for the UK to leave the EU.
The former SNP leader Gordon Wilson thinks some party members would vote leave in the hope of hastening Scottish independence.
Those who wish to spend more than £10,000 campaigning in the EU referendum must register with the Electoral Commission from today.
The commission has yet to designate the lead campaigns for the referendum.
The prime minister David Cameron has promised to hold the vote by the end of 2017.
It could take place as early as June if Mr Cameron gets a deal on revised terms of UK membership when EU leaders meet on 18 and 19 February.

Niall McGinn crossed for Ryan Jack to head the Dons in front just before the half-hour.
The Northern Irishman fired home a stunning volley to double his side's lead on the stroke of half-time.
McGinn made the game safe when he headed home Jonny Hayes' cross ten minutes from the end.
McGinn was a joy to behold. The Northern Irish forward did not have much of a summer break given his involvement at Euro 2016, but he looked entirely re-energised here after the winter break.
Scott Bain had to divert one great delivery, then tipped a wonderful McGinn free-kick over the bar before he unlocked Dundee.
McGinn danced down the left, cut back, crossed perfectly for the onrushing Ryan Jack to power a great header home.
He sealed it just before half-time. Ash Taylor knocked down, McGinn controlled and volleyed straight off the post and in for his sixth goal in eight games. Truly wonderful
As was Jonny Hayes' delivery for McGinn's second, which he simply guided home with his head.
Derek McInnes will be desperate to find some way to keep this player beyond the summer when his contract is due to expire.
Aberdeen have found consistency spanning both ends of the winter break and it's taken them into second place.
They look so strong in attacking areas and the addition of Ryan Christie will only compliment that.
The scoreline might easily have been greater, particularly when Dundee keeper Bain superbly stopped Adam Rooney's close range shot.
Confidence is high, the break looks to have helped their cause and on this form, the Dons look odds-on for a very positive second half of the season.
A late cameo for Christie only added to the positivity.
The team sheet suggested Dundee boss Paul Hartley was highlighting a need for new recruits, with only five names listed on the bench.
He would have been heartened by some early positive play and defensive organisation which suggested they had got their Scottish Cup exit out of their system.
Paul McGowan was desperately unlucky with an instinctive first-time lob from distance which cracked the bar with Joe Lewis well beaten.
Once Aberdeen clicked though, their attacking threat, and McGinn in particular, simply overwhelmed Dundee.
McGinn's goal right before half-time made the challenge insurmountable. They never recovered.

A total of 98,540 homes were sold in May, seasonally-adjusted figures from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) show, down 3% on a year earlier.
The first nine months of 2014 saw property being sold at the fastest rate since before the financial crisis.
Other data has predicted a modest pick-up in the housing market during the latter half of this year.
The HMRC figures cover properties sold for more than £40,000 across the UK.
Some 1.7 million homes were sold in 2006, at the height of the property boom. This fell to 848,000 in 2009, but rose to 1.2 million last year.
In recent months sales have fallen back to below 100,000 a month.
Recent reports from the mortgage market - a precursor to sales - have suggested that there is likely to be a modest increase in activity later in the year.
Gross mortgage lending rose by 2% in May compared with April to £16.2bn, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML).
Property commentator Henry Pryor said he saw evidence of pent-up demand.
"Buyers have been sitting on their hands. Prices peaked in the first half of last year and, while asking prices have picked up in recent months, sale prices will continue to come under pressure," he said.
Club owner Francesco Becchetti made the decision following a 3-1 defeat at Hartlepool on Sunday, which left Orient in seventh place.
The players have been allowed to visit their families in their spare time but have been eating and sleeping at a hotel in Waltham Abbey.
Orient play York at home on Saturday.
Manager Ian Hendon told the Daily Mail: "If we win 4-0 or 5-0 on Saturday, the owner might ask us to move here permanently.
"We're not trying to hide anything. There are plenty of army camps I know about in deep, dark woods if we wanted to do that."
Orient - who started the season with five straight wins - were also made to train full-time for three weeks after they were relegated from League One last May.
Meanwhile the O's have signed Queens Park Rangers defender Cole Kpekawa on an initial one-month youth loan deal.
The 19-year-old, who had spells at Colchester and Portsmouth last season, has made three appearances for the R's this season.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index closed down 1.6% at 16,596.51.
The dollar hit a one-month low against the Japanese currency, dropping to 100.17 yen from 101.25 yen in US trading.
In China, stocks opened higher on hopes that a launch date of a new trading link between Shenzhen and Hong Kong would be announced soon.
However, shares then reversed direction in afternoon trade. Hong Kong's Hang Seng ended the day flat at 22,910.84, while the Shanghai Composite closed 0.5% lower at 3,110.04.
South Korea's Kospi index ended 0.1% lower at 2,047.76 as it resumed trading after a holiday on Monday.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 also lost 0.1% to close at 5,532.00, while New Zealand's S&P/NZX 50 Index fell more than 1% to finish at 7,310.67.
Research by the CIES Football Observatory found 11.7% of top-flight players graduated from their club's academy, down from 13.8% last year.
Across 31 top European divisions the figure has dropped below 20% for the first time since figures began in 2009.
Clubs are "increasingly reluctant" to give chances to academy players, says study author Raffaele Poli.
A club-trained player has spent at least three seasons between the ages of 15 and 21 training with their current side.
Overseas players account for 59.9% of Premier League footballers, the second-highest figure in Europe behind Cyprus.
That is higher than all other so-called 'big-five' nations - Italy (56.5%), Germany (45.9%), Spain (39.9%) and France (30.5%).
In addition, 41.1% of Premier League players are internationals, eclipsing 30.9% in Germany's Bundesliga and 19.9% in Spain's La Liga.
"The average age of footballers in Europe has reached a new high of 26 years," Poli says.
The average age of a Premier League player has never been higher at 26.9 years, but has remained relatively stable since an average of 26.7 in 2009.
The introduction of the Premier League's £320m elite player performance plan (EPPP) in 2012 was designed to try to improve the quality of young English players and increase their opportunities in first teams.
But an increase in the percentage of foreign players over the past three years means that many youngsters now need to transfer clubs or go out on loan before playing in the Premier League.
Tottenham have the Premier League's largest percentage of club-trained players in their squad at 32%. Three Spurs players - striker Harry Kane, midfielder Ryan Mason and winger Andros Townsend - all went on loan before making their first-team breakthroughs and have since played for England.
Arsenal are second with 24%, Manchester United third with 20%, while Swansea City and Bournemouth have no club-trained players, according to the study.
The percentage of foreign players at Chelsea - 83.3% - is the third-highest in Europe and 12.5% of their squad is club-trained. That includes 19-year-old midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
The Premier League said 31 home-grown players had made their debuts this season, but recognised they had come through a variety of routes.
It added: "The number one stated aim of the EPPP is to develop more and better home-grown players capable of playing at Premier League level. English clubs are absolutely committed to this.
"For some players, like Manchester City's Raheem Sterling, they go straight from academy to under-21 football and then to the Premier League. For others, like Kane and Manchester United's Jesse Lingard, it was hard work at their academies, combined with U21 football and loans to the Football League prior to making an impact in the Premier League."
The Football Association has outlined plans to try to boost the number of home-grown players in England by limiting the number of non-EU players.
But Premier League clubs spent a record £1bn on transfer fees in 2015 with 65% of that paid to overseas clubs for players.
Manchester United set a world record fee for a teenager when they paid £36m to Monaco for 19-year-old striker Anthony Martial and from next season clubs will receive a further injection of money when a new £5.14bn TV deal kicks in for three years.
CIES Football Observatory data shows that the percentage of club-trained players in the Premier League was at 17% in 2009.
And association-trained players - those who have come through a club's academy but now play for a different team - has dropped from 51% last year to 47.6%, but is above the lowest figure - 47.1% - set in 2013.
Poli added: "Although no-one would contest that youth is the future of football, the study shows that top-division European clubs are less and less courageous when it comes to giving club-trained players a chance to prove themselves."
But the Premier League said: "With the likes of Sunderland's Duncan Watmore, West Ham's Reece Oxford and Tottenham's Joshua Onumah recently making Premier League debuts, the belief is that the foundations that the EPPP has been laying since 2012 will continue to produce and progress talent in growing numbers."
European football's governing body Uefa, which ensures that at least eight association trained-players are in squads for competitions such as the Champions League, told BBC Sport: "Uefa believes that the issue of locally-trained players is very important for the development of football at all levels."
Other insights from the CIES report taken from Europe's 31 top leagues show:
• The highest percentage of club-trained players in a current squad is at Belarusian side FC Gomel, standing at 91.7%. Spain's Athletic Bilbao is fourth at 63%.
• Slovenian side Zavrc have the highest percentage of foreign players in their squad at 88%, with Italy's Roma second at 85.2% before Chelsea in third at 83.3%.
• Italian side Chievo are the only club whose average player age is over 30. Stoke are the Premier League's eldest team at 28.7 years old.
• Manchester United's Champions League group opponents Wolfsburg have the tallest team in Europe, averaging at 187cm or 6ft 2in. Stoke are the Premier League's tallest team.
• Premier League players have been at their clubs for the longest time, at an average of 2.82 years. The longest average stay is at Everton - 4.14 years.

Ibrahimovic, 35, was released in June after not being offered a new contract following a season-ending knee injury.
The former Sweden international has been recovering from surgery at United's training ground and is expected to be fit again in December.
"He wants more at football's highest level," said Mourinho.
"So we are having conversations and we are discussing the possibility of him staying with us for the second part of the season."
Ibrahimovic signed a one-year deal in July 2016 and scored 28 times in 46 games in all competitions for United before suffering knee-ligament damage in April in the Europa League win over Anderlecht.
"He's injured, he needs time to recover," added Mourinho.
"He was very clear by showing that what he did last year was not enough for him - he thinks he can do more."
Manchester United start their Premier League campaign against West Ham at Old Trafford on Sunday, with kick-off at 16:00 BST.
Damien Anthony McMahon told officers he had run into the property after being chased by four men threatening to shoot him, Belfast Crown Court heard.
The judge said his story was "nonsense" and "completely stupid".
McMahon, 25, of Fianna House, Belfast, will spend 12 of his 30-month sentence in jail and 18 months on licence.
He admitted a single charge of burglary with intent to steal.
Police responded to reports of an incident at a house in Stratheden Street in north Belfast in June 2013, the court heard.
Upon arrival, officers found copper piping in the hall and when they discovered McMahon hiding in the attic, he was "crying and shaking" as he told them he was taking refuge there.
A defence barrister said McMahon "fully accepts responsibility for what he had done".
Passing sentence, the judge told McMahon that after being "caught red-handed", he had made up a "completely stupid story which could not be believed by anybody".
Three former air ambulance helicopters will begin dropping 100 million poisonous pellets in a bid to eradicate brown rats from the island.
The rats, which first arrived in the 18th Century as stowaways on sealing ships, are a threat to native species.
The three-month mission is the second phase of a four-year project.
The first phase saw successful extermination of brown rats from a much smaller portion of South Georgia in 2011; the second aims to clear more than half of the remaining area.
Brown rats are an "invasive species" in South Georgia, and with no natural predators on the island the population exploded soon after their arrival.
Now their appetite for the eggs and chicks of ground-nesting birds such as the South Georgia pipit and pintail is threatening the survival of these endemic species.
The helicopters will criss-cross the island, distributing the bait pellets with mathematical precision to cover each and every square metre.
Every single rat must be eradicated for the programme to be a success, said project leader Prof Tony Martin from the University of Dundee, who spoke to BBC News before setting off.
"Killing 99.999% is a failure. If we don't get every last one, we may as well not have gone there in the first place," he said.
"We have to eradicate, not control, them."
Clearing an entire island of an invasive species is hugely ambitious but the terrain of South Georgia allows the team to work in stages. Glaciers, which the rodents will not travel across, cover much of the island - meaning that the rat colonies live in isolated pockets and can be tackled separately.
But time is of the essence. The glaciers are retreating and if the separate colonies are allowed to mingle, eradication will become much more difficult.
So far Prof Martin's team have faced gale-force winds and blizzards, but with the weather improving they are reported to be ready to resume the largest-ever species eradication project.
Russia has avoided a blanket ban by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) from this month's Rio Games.
Individual sports' governing bodies must decide if competitors are clean and more than 250 Russian athletes have so far been cleared to compete.
"I would be looking at my own individual performance," Jackson said.
"Unless people have been proven, by their dope tests and by their dope samples, then I wouldn't waste my time and effort accusing athletes of being on drugs.
"The athletes won't think that way when they are competing," added the 49-year-old Welshman, who was a silver medallist at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.
"The sport is very much an individual sport in the world of athletics and you will be focused on your individual performance."
The Olympics begin in Brazil on Friday but without Russia's track and field team, who were banned by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) had recommended all Russian competitors be banned after its independently commissioned report found evidence of a four-year "doping programme" across the "vast majority" of Olympic sports.
The IOC stopped short of applying a blanket ban and said individual sports' governing bodies must decide if Russian competitors are clean.
But the IOC says a three-person panel will have the final say on which Russians can compete at the Rio Games.
It says the newly convened panel "will decide whether to accept or reject that final proposal".
Jackson acknowledged the scandal had cast a shadow over the Games.
"They're always under scrutiny because of the problems that Russia have caused," Jackson told BBC Radio Four's Today programme.
"This problem does start from Russia basically cheating in our sport and taking away the value of our sports and also the desires and aspirations of young athletes.
"For me it's very frustrating that the athletes are continuously hearing these stories because it's not what they want to hear just before they go into major championships."
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland has shared a YouTube clip of a hillwalker describing rubbish left in a remote location as "absolute filth".
And one of two volunteers who looks after Corrour Bothy in the Lairig Ghru has told of taking four hours to sort through and burn waste left there.
Neil Reid said hillwalkers have to be willing to pick up litter they find.
In the YouTube clip the hillwalker shows a plastic bag of half empty yoghurt pots and other food waste he found in a "very remote spot in the Cairngorms".
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland has shared the clip on Twitter.
In a blog on UKHillwalking.com, Mr Reid said it was not good enough to "tut" at the recklessness of others and said people should be prepared to collect rubbish they find and take it off the hills.
But he added that setting up some form of "bothy vigilante patrol" as suggested by one of the blog's followers was not an answer.
Both the YouTube clip and blog feature strong language, with both the hillwalker and Mr Reid expressing frustration about the waste being left in the Cairngorms.
Mr Reid signed off his blog saying: "It's not enough just not leaving your own rubbish; let's make it socially unacceptable for others to leave rubbish too.
"And if they go ahead and leave it anyway? Then just pick it up.
"Whether the real culprit is there or not. Pick it up and become part of the answer, or turn a blind eye and be part of the problem. It's that simple."
Littering has been a problem in Scotland's hills, and other upland areas of the UK.
Last month, a catheter bag was among items of rubbish found by volunteers doing litter-picks on the slopes of Britain's highest mountains.
A total of 88 people were involved in the clean up of Ben Nevis in Scotland, Snowdon in Wales and England's Scafell Pike.
More than 24 stone (153kg) of litter was collected from Ben Nevis alone.
In August, conservationists said they hoped a problem with human waste being left on the summit of the UK's second highest mountain had gone away.
RSPB Scotland and National Trust for Scotland raised concerns in October last year that the faeces on Ben Macdui posed a potential health risk.
The RSPB said there had been no incidents of irresponsible toileting detected since last year.
The two charities own the 4,295ft (1,309m) mountain.
Twenty-one people were killed on 21 November 1974 when two bombs exploded in bars in the city's centre.
Michael Hayes told the BBC last week that he took "collective responsibility" for the IRA's actions.
West Midlands Police has written to the BBC to request the full interview.
The force's Chief Constable Dave Thompson told a meeting of the West Midlands Policing and Crime Board on Tuesday that comments by Hayes screened in a BBC documentary had been "carefully reviewed".
"Our approach is where new facts come to light they are scrutinised to see if people can be brought to justice," Mr Thompson said.
"We have written to the BBC requesting the full footage to enable us to assess the full interview as part of our evidential process.
"Michael Hayes is outside the UK and a decision on what additional action can be taken will be assessed by the Crown Prosecution Service."
Mr Thompson added that while the police inquiry is not active it has not been closed and the victims' families will be kept informed.
The BBC said it had received the police request for the interview and "will consider it in accordance with our editorial guidance and policies for requests of this nature".
No-one has been brought to justice for the double attack, which was one of the worst single losses of life during the Troubles.
Six men - known as the Birmingham Six - were wrongfully convicted of the murders and spent 17 years in jail before they were released in 1991 when their convictions were quashed.
In last week's interview with BBC News NI reporter Kevin Magee, Hayes said he had been in the IRA for more than 30 years and was "a participant in the IRA's activities in Birmingham".
The 69-year-old, who lives in Dublin in the Republic of Ireland, said two people planted the bombs in the Mulberry Bush and the Tavern In The Town, although he refused to say who they were.
He also issued an apology to the families of the victims, adding: "My heartfelt sympathy to all of you for a terrible tragic loss that you have been put through."
That was rejected by one woman whose 18-year-old sister was killed in the attack.
Julie Hambleton described the former IRA man as "gutless and spineless" and said his apology was offensive.
Hayes said he was speaking out to give "the point of view of a participant".
When asked if he had planted the gelignite explosives, he replied: "I'm not telling you."
Hayes said he had been arrested and questioned in 1974 by West Midlands Police about the Birmingham bombings, but was released.
Birmingham MPs have called for Hayes to be extradited and face questioning by police.
Inquests into the deaths of the 21 victims are due to resume later this year.
Cash the dog's expert nose uncovered €286,000 ($303,000/£247,000), the government announced following an anti-drug service raid last week.
First, he led his handlers to a man concealing €50,000 on his person, before picking out a piece of luggage containing a further €236,000.
The money was confiscated and the two men have been arrested.
Under Luxembourg's laws, they were meant to declare that they were carrying more than €10,000 in cash, a government press release explained.
It was not revealed why the men were carrying so much cash, or where they had come from or were travelling to. | A 26-year-old man had a large part of his ear bitten off in a "vicious unprovoked attack" during a Halloween night out at a pub in Ceredigion, said police.

The firm also passed a psychological sales barrier, reporting a 6.9% rise in revenue to more than £1bn, a year ahead of schedule.
Analysts had expected Halfords to report profits of about £79m.
The results are the first under the stewardship of Jill McDonald, who joined from McDonald's in May to replace Matt Davies as chief executive.
Mr Davies moved from the retailer after a successful two-and-a-half years in charge to take over as chief executive of Tesco's UK operations.
Halfords launched an investment drive to improve stores, customer service and cycling ranges in order to push sales to £1bn by 2016.
The retailer said total like-for-like retail sales were up 7%. Car maintenance revenue from Halfords' Autocentres rose 8.5%, while bike sales rose 11.4%.
Shares in Halfords, which has 470 stores and 305 car repair stores nationwide, rose 2.1% on Friday morning to 495p.
"New CEO Jill McDonald takes over a company with strong momentum," Investec analyst Kate Calvert said. "The job of modernising Halfords will be far from complete when the original three-year plan ends in 2016."
Halfords has been helped by British cycling successes including Team GB at the Olympics and Bradley Wiggins's win at the Tour de France in 2012.
Cycling has increased in popularity, with Halfords expanding its accessories, bike ranges and improving online categories to meet demand.
Last year, the firm reopened its specialist bike shop Cycle Republic, having shuttered it in 2009, with analysts at Deutsche Bank expecting the business to add 200 million pounds to sales.
Halfords said more remained to be done to complete its turnaround after years of under-investment and increasing online competition, with more staff training and store revamps scheduled this year, as well as a move to become a click-and-collect hub for other retailers in order to drive footfall. | Car parts and bikes retailer Halfords has reported a 11.3% rise in pre-tax annual profit to £83.8m. | 33,018,210 | 423 | 28 | false |
Edith Fuller correctly spelled "jnana" to beat more than 50 contestants in the Scripps Green Country Regional Spelling Bee in Tulsa.
She also cracked the words Panglossian, Baedeker, nisei and Croesus.
The young spelling master will head to Washington in May to compete with other children across the country.
Here are the words Edith aced on her way to glory:
Jnana is a Sanskrit word for "knowledge" in Indian philosophy and religion.
Panglossian describes someone who is excessively optimistic, regardless of circumstances.
Baedeker is a guidebook, originating from the series of travel guidebooks by German publisher Karl Baedeker.
Nisei is an American or Canadian whose parents were immigrants from Japan.
Croesus is a very wealthy person. Croesus was the last king of Lydia (c560 - 546 BC) famed for his wealth.
Sarsaparilla is a tropical American climbing plant, or a sweet drink flavoured with the root of this plant.
The National Spelling Bee is open to contestants who have not finished the eighth grade. There is no minimum age to compete.
"I feel thankful," she said after winning the regional competition on Saturday.
Edith, who is home-schooled, faced off against competitors from primary and middle schools throughout northeast Oklahoma.
"It's fun to share her with everyone," said Annie Fuller, her mother.
"I knew she'd be a novelty, so I'm proud she held her own."
Girl statue and Wall Street bull face off
Annie Fuller told the Tulsa World the family realised their daughter's potential last summer while quizzing her spelling skills.
Edith correctly spelled "restaurant" without having been taught the word.
"We knew there was something special there," Annie Fuller said.
Akash Vukoti, six, was last year's youngest contestant at the National Spelling Bee.
He was eliminated after misspelling the word "bacteriolytic" in the early rounds of the contest.
Surrey Police decided there were "no suspicious circumstances" surrounding the death of Pte Cheryl James within two hours of arriving at the scene.
Michael Day told an inquest in Woking he would do things differently now.
The inquest heard the force had apologised to the family and Mr Day said: "I would add my apology to that."
Referring to actions on the day of the death, he said: "Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
"If I had to make that decision again I would have without a doubt taken a different course of action."
Pte James, 18, from Llangollen in Denbighshire, was one of four recruits to die at the base in seven years.
Mr Day arrived at the scene of her death on 27 November at 09:04 GMT and handed the investigation over to the coroner and military at 11:12, without inspecting the body or weapon himself.
Apologising to Pte James's family for the limited police investigation, he said there were no suspicious circumstances "in terms of the position of the body and things around it".
He said letters found in her quarters "suggested that she was troubled over things" but admitted there was never a suggestion of any suicide note.
Alison Foster QC, representing the James family, accused Mr Day of basing his decision on a "set of assumptions" without a proper investigation of the scene.
She told Woking Coroner's Court no fingerprint evidence had been taken from the gun, there had been no swabs of Pte James's hands or face, and no fingertip search conducted of the area around the body before it was moved.
There was also no ballistics testing of any cartridge case, she said.
"You couldn't be sure that the gun beside Cheryl fired the fatal bullet," she told Mr Day.
The former police inspector replied he was satisfied "that was the weapon that had been involved".
"From what I knew or read there was a bullet missing from the gun," he said, adding that he did not examine the body, weapon or scene himself and had relied on information from scenes-of-crime experts and his CID officer.
Ms Foster continued: "Without any investigation or independence of mind you were prepared to take from military personnel at the scene... you were prepared to take their conclusions and assumptions."
"Yes I did take their conclusions," Mr Day replied.
Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events
Paul Davidson, a former Ministry of Defence police officer, told the inquest there was no cordon and "no control" around the body when he attended the scene.
"Everyone was just walking around," he said.
Neil Thomson, a former detective with Camberley CID, said a number of letters of a "sexual nature" were found in Pte James's locker, which her family were not told about at the time.
"Clearly we were there to see if there was any note left," he added.
Referring to the letters, Mr Thomson said: "It was felt that was not something the family should be subjected to at this particular time."
The inquest continues.

After serving under Socialist President Francois Hollande, he is now running as an independent.
His move has unsettled rivals from both the left and right hoping to represent France's mainstream parties.
The conservative Republican party will begin selecting its own candidate in new, US-style primaries on Sunday.
Earlier, frontrunner Alain Juppe accused Mr Macron of betraying President Hollande, saying he had "stabbed him in the back".
A one-time protege of the president, Mr Macron quit the Socialist government in August amid discontent within the party over his political ambitions.
Mr Hollande has not yet confirmed whether he will stand for re-election in April and will make a decision in the coming weeks. He has the lowest popularity ratings of any post-war French president.
Mr Macron, a former investment banker who has never been elected, ended the speculation at a press conference in a Paris suburb.
"France is... blocked by corporatism of all kinds," he said, referring to large interest groups. "I reject this system."
He will run as head of the centrist En Marche movement he created in April, which now has almost 97,000 members and has received €2.7m ($2.9m; £2.3m) in donations.
The movement advocates "new ideas... neither of the right nor the left".
Mr Macron repeated the theme on Wednesday, saying: "The challenge is not for me to bring together the left or bring together the right. The challenge is to bring together France."
Benoit Hamon, a candidate for the Socialist nomination, lamented Mr Macron's independent candidacy, telling BFMTV it was almost guaranteed to split the left vote and prevent any single candidate reaching the second round of the presidential vote.
Meanwhile Marine Le Pen, leader of the burgeoning far-right National Front dismissed Mr Macron as "a candidate of the banks, there's always one".
Reaction on social media was mixed.
One survey suggests that 38% of French voters believe Mr Macron would be a good president.
His candidacy also caused upset among some of the centre-right candidates vying for the Republican nomination.
Former Prime Minister Juppe is favourite to win the poll, running on a moderate ticket but he is facing stiff competition from former President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is running a law-and-order campaign, and Thatcherite former PM Francois Fillon.
Mr Sarkozy's bid was dealt a blow on Tuesday after new allegations emerged that he had received millions of euros in illegal financing from the regime of late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
He and his former chief of staff have denied wrongdoing in the case, which involves funding for his successful 2007 presidential campaign.
Meanwhile, President Hollande has said France's state of emergency should continue until the election.
It was due to be lifted in January, having been in place since the November 2015 terror attacks in Paris. Mr Hollande's proposal would see it kept until 7 May, the second and final round of the presidential election.
It is the question at the heart of the debate about student finance, which has led to the Diamond review.
In Wales, there has been a growing feeling that the balance is wrong - that the taxpayer is bearing too much of the cost at the moment and that is mainly due to the tuition fee grant.
HOW STUDENT FINANCE COULD LOOK
£1,000 grant a year for all students
£9,113 maximum level of additional grant support towards living costs
£7,000 average support with living costs students would receive
£5,100 existing tuition fees grant to be scrapped
£80,000 family income bracket to receive basic £1,000 grant
Prof Sir Ian Diamond, in his review, said he wanted to see the funding of higher education as "a partnership between wider society and the individual."
The review sets out a re-balance - students getting more help with their day-to-day living costs up front in terms of grants, while borrowing to cover their tuition fees which would be repayable only after they start earning a certain amount.
The education secretary, who is to examine the detail of the findings, said it would mean Wales would have the only UK system that was "consistent, progressive and fair across all levels and modes of study".
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS NOW FOR STUDENTS
Students pay up to £9,000 a year for their courses and the Welsh Government pays up to £5,100 of that for Welsh undergraduates wherever they study in the UK.
In 2014-15 it cost £237.6m - equivalent to two thirds of the total bill of running Wales' GP surgeries.
Students can be charged a maximum of £9,000 for their tuition fees but a tuition fee loan can be taken out to cover the first £3,900.
The chart above shows how in 2015/16, students from Wales borrowed a total of £199.5m to cover this.
If the university or college charges more than £3,900 in fees, Welsh students can apply for a tuition fee grant of up to £5,100 to cover the difference.
That grant is now set to be scrapped, under the proposals.
To deal with living costs, maintenance loans are currently available - a maximum of £4,637 a year if students are living away from home studying outside London or £6,497 for studying in London. They can borrow more if their parents are on a lower income.
The chart above also shows a total of £194.6m was borrowed by Welsh students in maintenance loans last year.
Students can also apply for a Welsh Government Learning Grant if their taxable household income is £50,020 or below. They qualify for the maximum of £5,161 if the household income is £18,370 or less.
It operates on a sliding scale so coming from a family with a £30,000 household income qualifies for a £2,099 grant. For students who qualify for this, it will affect the amount they can borrow through a maintenance loan.
Special support grants up to £5,161 are also available towards travel, books and equipment for students receiving benefits or who are single parents.
Students' representatives have argued that greater help is needed with living costs but with a squeeze on public finances, no-one expected the current level of help with fees to be maintained as well as extra support for day-to-day costs.
Instead, under the Diamond proposals a maximum of £9,100 in a grant for living allowances would be available each year.
The student from an average earnings family can expect £7,000 a year and at a minimum - even students from high income families - can expect £1,000.
Education Secretary Kirsty Williams has argued that help with living costs is the bigger issue in making sure students from poorer backgrounds are not put off going to university.
"I am deeply committed to making sure access to higher education should be determined by academic ability and not social background," she said on Tuesday.
Rhian Floyd, 19, from Aberaeron, Ceredigion, a second year Welsh and English student at Cardiff University, welcomed any move which would see more help with living costs.
"They're probably more of a problem than the actual fees themselves," she said.
"You borrow those and pay them back in the long run. Living costs here in a city like Cardiff are expensive compared to home.
"We're paying our landlord three months at the start of one month and that's a lot of money to fork out."
House-mate Leah Williams, also 19 and from Cardigan, Ceredigion, studying politics and international relations, said poorer students should be prioritised.
"I think they need to look at the financial background of every student," she said. "I don't think families who can afford to pay their child's tuition fees should have a grant.
"There's not an option for poorer students for their parents to pay for them - and to not go to university is heartbreaking."

HOW MUCH DO STUDENTS OWE?
Students have to start paying back their loans once they start earning £21,000 or more.
On average, the loan balance for Welsh students who started repayments in 2015/16 was £16,120, according to the Student Loans Company.
The average loan balance in England is much higher - £24,640 - with students from here not getting grants towards their fees; it is on average £19,720 in Northern Ireland but only £10,500 in Scotland, where home students do not pay tuition fees and so borrow less.
For Welsh students who started paying back their loans in 2007, they started off repaying an average £350 a year, which had increased to £950 by the eighth year.
Cutting the grant would increase that debt, but some would argue that up front day-to-day cash in hand would compensate for that.
But on the balance sheet, it is highly likely that overall the average student will get less financial help as a result of any proposed changes to student finance.

On Tuesday, Caroline Baker was given a three-year sentence for her part in subjecting a disabled woman to horrific sexual assaults.
Her husband, Keith Baker, was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with another five years on licence
Reporting restrictions meant the media could not publish any pictures of her.
But on Thursday a judge lifted those restrictions.
Keith and Caroline Baker kept their victim in a squalid room without carpet, a light bulb, bedclothes or curtains, for eight years.
The woman, who had severe learning difficulties, was emaciated and had only a single tooth left in her mouth when she was rescued from the house in Craigavon, County Armagh, in 2012.
She weighed just six stone (38kg) when she was found.
Keith Baker was sentenced to 15 years in jail and a further five years on licence after his release, Judge Patrick Lynch QC described the 61-year-old as a "Svengali-type figure" whose wife was a "pawn doing his bidding".
Caroline Baker will spend 18 months in jail, with the remainder on licence.
The couple last month pleaded guilty to a catalogue of charges, including sexual activity involving penetration and causing a person with a mental disorder to engage in sexual activity.
Keith Baker, who was raised in Guernsey and lived most of his life in Kent, was also charged with rape and indecent assault.
"It is not easy to understand how these individuals have so lost their moral compass that they could subject an individual, who clearly exhibited serious mental defects, to mistreatment in sexual terms, depriving her of any dignity and even the most basic of living standards," said the judge.
Their Drumellan Mews home had been described in court as a "house of horrors".
The only toilet she had access to was overflowing with human waste.
The couple had taken the woman from her home in England in 2004; she was reported missing by her husband.
She was found by police in Northern Ireland eight years later after another woman, Mandy Highfield, contacted officers.
Ms Highfield had also lived with Keith Baker and was the mother of four of his children.
When detectives searched the house they found videos of the Bakers abusing their victim.
The images showed how she had deteriorated from being relatively healthy to malnourished over the years she was held inside the house.
Banning orders and "extreme disruption" orders will feature in the party's 2015 election manifesto, the home secretary told the party's Birmingham conference.
She got a standing ovation as she said "British values" would prevail in the end in the battle against extremism.
The Liberal Democrats accused her of "peddling misinformation".
Mrs May was among a number of high-profile speakers on the third day of the Tory conference, with Mayor of London Boris Johnson, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Education Secretary Nicky Morgan also taking the stage.
In her speech, the home secretary also:
The new measures will be targeted at people and groups who "stay just within the law but spread poisonous hatred", she said.
The decision to bring extremism strategy into the Home Office is already policy - and it is about more than rearranging the machinery of government: It's a symbol of the tensions inside Whitehall over whether every previous attempt to combat extremism has been a muddled flop.

Mrs May told the conference the UK should not "shy away" from tackling radical Islamist group Islamic State (IS), which has seized large parts of Iraq and Syria.
British hostage David Haines was "murdered simply for being British", she said.
A "studied, careful approach" was required, she said.
Mrs May said a "very complicated battle" was taking place for the "heart and soul" of Islam, saying it was not for Britain to try to resolve it.
But she said it was right that the UK was part of an "international coalition" to tackle IS, also known as Isil.
If IS succeeded, she said, "we will see the world's first truly terrorist state established only a few hours' flying time from our country".
She added: "We must not flinch, we must not shy away from our responsibility."
In a speech which got a standing ovation from the audience in Birmingham, she said: "In the end, as they have done before, these values, our British values, will win the day and we will prevail."
Mrs May said that getting access to communications data - details of who called who and when, but not the content of the calls - was vital.
She said 12 cases were dropped by the Metropolitan Police in three months because communications data was not available.
In a reference to the government's previous attempt to introduce new powers, she said: "The solution to this crisis of national security was the Communications Data Bill, but two years ago that was torpedoed by the Liberal Democrats."
She said the Liberal Democrat position was "dangerously irresponsible".
Mrs May also said the misuse of stop and search powers was still a "real problem" and said legislation would be used if necessary.
More than 250,000 stops last year were "probably illegal", she said, because they were not carried out with "reasonable grounds for suspicion".
Stop and search could be a "legitimate and useful police tool".
But black people were six times more likely to be stopped than white people, she told the conference, adding that she was determined that "nobody should be stopped and searched because of the colour of their skin".
Mr Cameron has warned the Islamic State insurgency in Syria and Iraq poses a direct threat to the UK, with 500 British jihadists believed to have travelled to the two countries.
Earlier on Tuesday he told BBC Breakfast: "The problem that we have had is this distinction of saying we will only go after you if you are an extremist that directly supports violence.
"It has left the field open for extremists who know how not to step over the line. But these are people who have radicalised young minds and led to people heading off to Syria or Iraq to take part in this ghastly slaughter."
Among other things, the new strategy outlined by Mrs May will seek to bolster Islamic institutions that operate in a way which is "compatible" with British values and look to improve vetting procedures to prevent extremists being appointed to positions of authority, including in schools.
The government's new approach will bring together existing measures, such as the statutory duty for public bodies to have a counter-radicalisation strategy and enhanced powers for the Charity Commission to close down charities that are a front for extremist activity, with new efforts to improve awareness and training about the risks posed by extremism.
The Home Office will take the lead across government by creating a central hub of knowledge and expertise to advise other departments, the public sector and civil society about the risks of extremism, particularly of infiltration.
At the moment, organisations can only be banned if there is evidence of links to terrorism.
Under the Tories' new proposals, groups that cannot currently be proscribed could be subject to banning orders should ministers "reasonably believe" that they intend to incite religious or racial hatred, to threaten democracy or if there is a pressing need to protect the public from harm, either from a risk of violence, public disorder, harassment or other criminal acts.
The granting of a ban, which would be subject to immediate review by the High Court, would make membership or funding of the organisation concerned a criminal offence.
The police would also be given new powers to apply to a court to impose extreme disruption orders on individuals, using the same criteria.
This could result in those targeted being stopped from taking part in public protests, from being present at all in certain public locations, from associating with named people, from using of conventional broadcast media and from "obtaining any position of authority in an institution where they would have influence over vulnerable individuals or children".
Breach of the restrictions - which would be time limited - would be a criminal offence.
Liberal Democrat peer Lord Carlile, the former independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he did not think some of the measures were sufficiently tough, and called on Mrs May to reintroduce powers to relocate terror suspects to other parts of the country.
Conservative MP Dominic Raab told BBC News there was already a "very wide criminal basis" to prosecute extremist groups.
"I think you need to be very wary about criminalising thoughts and views", he said.
Former Attorney General Dominic Grieve said there was a risk new measures could "simply fuel resentment".
He told BBC Radio 4's The World at One: "If there is to be any restriction on the freedom of expression outside the criminal law - we have to tread very carefully."
Labour has questioned the effectiveness of the strategy, saying all individuals returning from the Middle East should have to undergo a programme of de-radicalisation.
It has called for the government to reintroduce control orders scrapped in 2011.
A Lib Dem spokesman said: "We utterly reject the allegation that the blocking of the Communications Data Bill has put lives at risk."
He said the availability of devices' internet protocol (IP) addresses was the "real problem", accusing the Home Office of "woeful inaction" in dealing with it.
"Liberal Democrats will continue to oppose the Tories' obsessive intrusion into people's lives," he added.
UKIP said the moves paved the way for governments to "block free speech", while campaign group Big Brother Watch said it was "wholly wrong" to label someone as an extremist without a "due legal process".
Last year a European Court of Justice ruling let people ask Google to delist some information about them.
However, the data deleting system only strips information from searches done via Google's European sites.
French data regulator CNIL said Google could face sanctions if it did not comply within the time limit.
In response, Google said in a statement: "We've been working hard to strike the right balance in implementing the European Court's ruling, co-operating closely with data protection authorities.
"The ruling focused on services directed to European users, and that's the approach we are taking in complying with it."
The 2014 court ruling allowed Europeans to submit applications to Google to remove data from search results that they thought were out of date, irrelevant or inflammatory.
Google is believed to have processed more than one million requests to remove data since the ruling came into effect. Google reviews all requests and refuses those it judges have no merit.
The CNIL order to extend the process emerged because European citizens can complain if Google refuses a delisting request. CNIL said it had received "hundreds" of complaints and, in some cases, said Google should have complied.
The requests to Google to delist data in these upheld complaints applied to all search indexes, not just those for member states, said CNIL. Only a small percentage of searches in Europe are believed to be carried out on Google.com rather than via country-specific sites.
It was Google's refusal to honour this broader request that prompted the CNIL order.
If Google did not comply, CNIL said, it would start compiling a report about Google's refusal that would be used to decide if the search giant should be sanctioned.
The negligence and wrongful death suit was filed in Connecticut against Bushmaster Firearms International.
The families allege the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle used by Adam Lanza, 20, in the incident should not have been made publicly available because it was designed for military use.
Twenty children died in the attack.
"There is one tragically predictable civilian activity in which the AR-15 reigns supreme: mass shootings," the court documents state.
"Time and again, mentally unstable individuals and criminals have acquired the AR-15 with ease, and they have unleashed the rifle's lethal power into our streets."
On 14 December 2012, Lanza killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, before driving to the school and killing 20 children and six adults. He later took his own life when authorities arrived on the scene.
Other defendants in the lawsuit include firearm distributor Camfour and gun store Riverview Gun Sales where Nancy Lanza purchased the AR-15 rifle.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit include Bill Sherlach, whose wife was killed in the shooting, as well as the families of victims Vicki Soto, Dylan Hockley, Noah Pozner, Lauren Rousseau, Benjamin Wheeler, Jesse Lewis, Daniel Barden, Rachel D'Avino and Natalie Hammond, who was injured in the attack.
"These companies assume no responsibility for marketing and selling a product to the general population who are not trained to use it nor even understand the power of it," Mr Sherlach told US media.
Defendants in the lawsuit have yet to comment publicly on the matter.
The PMS had to be bailed out by the government in 2010 after savers rushed to withdraw money.
It is now being managed by administrators so that the bailout money can be repaid.
The value of its investment properties was "written back" by £12m during the year and now stands at £72m.
The Department of Enterprise (DETI) bailed the society out with £225m of loans.
Annual instalments are due to repay £175m over 10 years, with the £50m balance being paid when the society is wound up.
The society could only make half of its scheduled loan repayments in the last two years
This does not alter the requirement on the society for the full repayment of the loan.
The PMS is largely repaying the loans from the rental income earned on its investment properties.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that the society is suing valuers and planning consultants over a £1.2m loan it made in 2007.
It has lodged a claim for negligence and breach of contract against J&E Shepherd Chartered Surveyors and WYG Engineering Ltd.
The claim relates to a loan made to a company controlled by the property developer Derek Harrison to buy a site in Scotland.
The PMS alleges there was an over valuation which did not take into account lack of access and planning issues in relation to the lands on which the loan was to be secured.
The two firms are defending the claim.
Hazel Wilson Briant, 27, and Olumide Orimoloye, 42, were found when police were called to the home in Turners Hill, Cheshunt, on Sunday afternoon.
Ms Wilson Briant was found dead while Mr Orimoloye was fatally injured and died shortly afterwards. Both had suffered knife wounds, police said.
Officers are not looking for anybody else in connection with the incident.
The case has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which has launched an independent investigation.
He has a delicate, unenviable and complex dance routine to assimilate right now, weaving his way between Eurosceptics at home and the desires and red lines of other EU leaders.
He needs their support to get reform passed.
On the prime minister's travels, he'll come across a widespread appetite for change.
Finland has just appointed a well-known Eurosceptic as its foreign and Europe minister, for example.
Few believe the EU is working properly for its half a billion citizens right now.
But the changes called for elsewhere in Europe won't always be the ones David Cameron may have in mind.
Germany applauds a call for less red tape and more single market, but will block any call to stop the freedom of movement.
Poland will fight to the last the idea of cutting benefits for migrants.
This is just the start of a long process.
Real negotiations (read: wheeling, dealing and behind-the-scenes pact-making) can only begin after the prime minister formally presents his wish-list for reform. That's expected at the next EU leaders' summit late next month.
In the meantime, David Cameron's hand will be much strengthened if he knows the positions of other EU countries.
An influential figure in Brussels on Wednesday put it to me like this: when it comes to reform, of course EU institutions like the European Commission have a role to play, but it begins with EU country leaders and it ends with them too.
The prime minister and a number of his cabinet ministers burned quite a few EU bridges in the long run-up to the general election.
It was felt they played too much to the Eurosceptic gallery at home when abroad on EU business.
The swagger with which Chancellor George Osborne pitched up to the first EU meeting following the UK elections didn't go down well, as he brashly announced that Britain would be changing the EU, also for the benefit of other EU citizens.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier recently muttered that he hoped, in the run-up to the referendum, that "there is a debate in Britain that also respects how far Europe can go to meet it".
EU leaders want to feel that the UK sees this initially as a discussion. A process, not a diktat.
And this is why tone and attitude is as important as the content of UK concerns in this pre-negotiation period.
It seems as if the government has clocked this.
This morning, on the BBC's Today programme, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond struck a very different note, when discussing EU reform and the need to work with partners abroad, to the strident Eurosceptic comments he espoused before the 7 May election.
UK diplomats are known for their keen negotiating skills. Britain is known to often get a "special deal" in EU affairs.
Take the UK rebate, for example, when it comes to contributing to the EU budget.
But if you want to see clear evidence of how fundamental mood music is, look no further than Greece and the eurozone misery the government there finds itself in.
When Syriza won the parliamentary elections back in January there was a lot of goodwill in the eurozone - sympathy for the fact that unadulterated, harsh austerity just wasn't working.
But then Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis and co marched on to the EU stage announcing Greece would tear up all existing bailout agreements, threatening the most powerful EU player, Germany, while Greek media compared Germany's leaders to Nazis.
Then, hey presto, the door of goodwill and flexibility was slammed firmly in Syriza's face.
However brutal the domestic debate about the EU becomes, David Cameron is well-advised to remember that his European counterparts are key to his ability to present fundamental reforms to the British public ahead of the EU referendum - or not.
The 21-year-old centre-back, who made 10 appearances during a loan spell with the Hatters last season, has agreed a two-year deal at Kenilworth Road.
A Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, Rea came through Albion's academy and featured twice for the Seagulls in the League Cup.
Luton boss Nathan Jones worked with Rea during his time as a coach at Brighton.
"He's a player and a character that I've got a lot of time for," Jones told the club website.
"It's taken a while. Brighton had a valuation of the player that we've had to negotiate, and we've got there in the end."

Mrs Foster and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness are visiting the United States as part of St Patrick's Day celebrations.
The first minister was speaking to the BBC's Inside Business programme.
She said that a lower corporation tax rate in NI was a major advantage.
The tax cut was agreed as part of the Fresh Start deal and is due to take effect in 2018.
It means companies in Northern Ireland will have profits taxed at 12.5% compared to 19% in the rest of the UK.
"When [President] Obama came into office, that was a big element of what he wanted to do, bring jobs back to America," she said.
"But, we think we have a very strong proposition, we always have had a strong proposition but now we have an extra tool - a very good tool - in our tool kit, and we will be talking to those companies that perhaps felt we didn't have that tax offering we have now, and that opens doors for us."
This interview will be broadcast in full on Inside Business with Wendy Austin on BBC Radio Ulster on Sunday, 13 March at 13:30 GMT.
The son of Frankel, ridden by Frankie Dettori, was one of a handful of horses to work on the track at the annual Breakfast with the Stars event.
Gosden said the Derby trip should suit Cracksman, who was added to the field last month as a supplementary entry.
"I think the mile and half will be right up his alley and we didn't supplement him for fun," he said.
"He goes there a fit, happy horse - a touch light on experience, but he is not the only one."
Cracksman beat subsequent Dante Stakes winner Periman in the Derby Trial at Epsom in April and is joint 4-1 favourite for the Classic on 3 June with Cliffs Of Moher, trained by Aidan O'Brien.
Surrey Police said security would be stepped up for the event, which attracts an estimated crowd of more than 100,000 people, following the Manchester Arena attack.
"People attending will notice tighter security measures and firearms officers in and around the Derby grounds which we feel people have a right to expect and are commonly seen at large events of this type," said Chief Superintendent Jerry Westerman.
Openreach should become a distinct company within the BT group, the regulator said.
BT had not voluntarily addressed competition concerns Ofcom laid out in July, it said.
However, BT said its proposals were "fair and sustainable", and that it would continue negotiating with Ofcom.
The regulator said it was preparing a formal notification to the European Commission to start the separation process.
Ofcom has resisted calls to split Openreach off entirely, which telecoms rivals have sought.
Ofcom said BT had not gone far enough to address its concerns about BT's ability to favour its retail business when making investment decisions in Openreach.
It wants Openreach to become a distinct company with its own board, with non-executives and a chairperson not affiliated with BT. It also wants Openreach to have control over its branding and budget allocation.
Openreach would also have a duty to treat all of its customers equally, the regulator said.
On Monday, BT had appointed Mike McTighe - who was on the board of Ofcom between 2007 and 2015 - as the first chairman of Openreach.
BT said in a statement: "We put forward proposals in July that we believe are fair and sustainable, and that meet Ofcom's objectives without disproportionate costs.
"We are implementing these proposals, and have just appointed Mike McTighe to be the first chairman of Openreach. We are in discussions with Ofcom on two outstanding issues, the reporting line of the Openreach chief executive and the form of legal incorporation.
"We will continue to work with Ofcom to reach a voluntary settlement that is good for customers, shareholders, employees, pensioners and investment in the UK's digital future."
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport said Openreach "needs to offer genuinely fair and equal access to the country's telecoms infrastructure to BT's competitors" and that it supported Ofcom action to achieve this.
BT's rivals, including Sky and Talk Talk, had complained bitterly about the service they received from Openreach, saying it charged too much for the use of broadband lines and was unresponsive to their demands. They wanted a full break-up of BT, with Openreach being turned into a separate company.
Ofcom has come some of the way, with Openreach now to become a legally separate entity, with its own independent board. But crucially it will still be owned by BT. Telecoms experts say the devil will be in the detail - how much control will BT be able to exert over Openreach under the new structure?
Sky and Talk Talk will be watching for any signs of too much influence - but if BT has no say at all over Openreach, it may in the end decide to break itself up anyway.
BT shares wobbled in early trading, losing 1.5% at first before recovering to trade higher by 0.5%.
Dido Harding, the chief executive of TalkTalk, told the BBC that "consumers and businesses across the country are completely fed-up that their broadband doesn't work".
She said the Ofcom action was "a small step in the right direction" but that "even this complicated legal separation is one that BT Group has been fiercely resisting," she said.
BT rival Sky said: "Let's not forget why we are here - BT Openreach has continued to fail consumers... We will now watch closely as to how Ofcom executes its proposals."
Vodafone said: "We believe Openreach should be separated from BT as soon as possible so BT's customers and other providers can be better protected from... excessive charges," it said.
BT has in the past rejected Vodafone claims that BT charges too much for regulated wholesale broadband services.
Alex Neill of consumer group Which? said that "millions of people have suffered woeful levels of service from Openreach" and said the separation must happen quickly so customers "really do get faster, more reliable broadband".
Despite the appointment, the BBC understands that Ofcom is still concerned that - against its wishes - Openreach chief executive Clive Selley will continue to report directly to BT Group chief executive Gavin Patterson.
Ofcom is also concerned that Openreach will not end up in control of its own assets and cash, and that it may not be able to consult confidentially with customers such as Sky and TalkTalk.
The BBC understands that BT is concerned that transferring Openreach assets and cash will incur costs that would take away from investment in broadband infrastructure.
Kester Mann, an analyst at CCS Insight, said: "Today's news shows that Ofcom remains hugely concerned over BT's ability to satisfy its competition concerns.
"It again highlights clear flaws in the existing Openreach model and a worry that UK broadband deployment could be restricted without serious change."
He said BT's rivals could criticise Ofcom for not pushing for structural separation, but they should see Ofcom's efforts to engage with the European Commission as "a partial victory".
Devil populations have been decimated by a highly contagious facial cancer that is transferred when these aggressive animals bite each other.
The findings will help researchers select the best individuals to be kept in captivity for eventual re-release.
The research is outlined in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The Tasmanian devil, Sarcophilus harrisii, gets its name from its high-pitch, blood-curdling squeal, and is renowned for fighting over access to animal carcases, which it grinds with the bone-crushing force of its jaws.
In 1996, a wildlife photographer snapped an image of an animal in the far north-east of Tasmania with a peculiar growth on its face.
The growth, it turned out, was neither benign, nor isolated to this one individual, but was a highly contagious, fatal cancer that seemed to be spreading through the population at lightning speed.
By 2007, conservationists reported that Devil Facial Tumour Disease, DFTD, had wiped out more than 90% of devil populations in the north-east of Tasmania, and was spreading west.
A strategy to save the devil from extinction was begun.
Now, an international team of genomicists is offering a helping hand.
The researchers took advantage of the latest technology to read the genetic sequence of two devils - an uninfected male called Cedric, and an infected female called Spirit - along with smaller segments of DNA from 175 other individuals.
The team hopes to use the genomes to pinpoint which individuals should be placed into "protective custody" to wait out the cancerous epidemic before being reintroduced.
From their analysis, the scientists predicted how best to capture as much genetic diversity among the individuals put aside for captive breeding, explained lead author Webb Miller, a genomicist from Pennsylvania State University, US.
He said that choosing individuals who were very genetically dissimilar should take priority over whether they were resistant to the cancer.
"It is a big step forward to actually get the genome sequence from this animal... the [world's largest] remaining carnivorous marsupial," said zoologist David Rollinson from the Natural History Museum, UK.
Getting two complete genomes was very valuable, said Dr Rollinson, but getting as many samples as they did, from as many different animals was "just the icing on the cake".
Dr Rollinson thinks that a similar approach could be used to study and save other endangered animals.
The researchers also sequenced one of the five tumours from Spirit's head for clues to why the Tasmanian devils fail to recognise the cancer as "non-self", and destroy it before it takes hold.
Understanding what it is about the devil's immune system that makes it so ineffectual at picking up the facial cancer will not only help treat those already infected, but will hold clues about whether the cancer can jump species.
"The greatest worry is that it will jump into another marsupial," said cancer geneticist Elizabeth Murchison from the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute in Hinxton, UK.

League Against Cruel Sports described a new code of best practice as "a futile attempt to do the right thing".
It said 370,000 animals, including badgers and pets, were caught in the wire traps in Wales last year.
The Welsh government said it had no legislative framework to regulate or ban the use of snares.
Advice in the Welsh government's leaflet includes checking the traps daily, only using traps where there is evidence of foxes and placing them at least 18cm (7in) from the ground to avoid badgers getting caught in them.
"Academic research and first-hand evidence shows that regulations do not reduce the suffering animals endure in snares," said Bethan Collins of League Against Cruel Sports.
"Any code of practice is only as good as the people who follow it, and Defra's research showed that few fox snare operators in England and Wales actually do."
But Charles Grisedale, who runs a game shoot in Pennant, Ceredigion, said wire snare traps were necessary for his business.
He said: "The balance in nature has gone. The apex predator the wolf that killed the foxes or kept them dispersed doesn't exist anymore and too many foxes can ruin your livelihood and the livelihood of people who rely on the shooting business such as hotels."
The Welsh government said: "At present there is no legislative framework available to the Welsh Government to regulate or ban the use of snares.
"The Law Commission is currently reviewing the regulatory framework for wildlife, which includes snares, and their final report is due to be published later this year."
The 51-year-old Welshman was a member of the backroom staff at Everton for 19 years, leaving Goodison Park in 2013.
"Everybody in the football department will be able to tap into his immense knowledge, which was gained working with excellent managers such as David Moyes and Walter Smith." said Stubbs.
"Going forward, Andy is going to play a big part in what we're trying to achieve here at Hibs."
Stubbs knows Holden well from their time together at Everton, where the former defender played and coached before moving into his first management role with Hibs, replacing Terry Butcher on 24 June.
Former Kilmarnock goalkeeper Alan Combe, 40, joins as a player-coach, having served in the same role at Hearts last season.
John Porteous arrives as physiotherapist following almost 23 years of service at Motherwell and Paul Green, formerly with Falkirk, is the new strength and conditioning coach at Easter Road.
Earlier this month, John Doolan left his position as Under-18 coach at Wigan to become first-team coach under Stubbs.
Currently TVAA operates from 07:00 until 19:00, but the new Airbus H135 with specialist night-vision kit can continue until 02:00.
TVAA chairman Sir Tim Jenner said the new helicopter could "save more lives" because of the extra operating hours.
The new extended hours will start in the new year once training is complete.
The charity, which covers Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, said the service would be operated by a day and night crew using the same helicopter.
It recently recruited and trained two new paramedics and three new emergency medical doctors.
Sir Tim said: "The new helicopter with its night flying capabilities will allow us to extend our hours of coverage and enable our medical crews to respond to more emergency call outs, saving more lives."
South Central Ambulance Service provides the paramedic crew members while the charity funds the helicopter, its associated costs and the majority of the medical service.
It said the 02:00 end time was due to shift patterns, the lack of calls relating to major trauma beyond that time, and the need for the helicopter to be four hours on the ground for maintenance work.
Its previous helicopter has been returned to TVAA's aviation partner, Bond Air Services Ltd.
In its 15th year, the service has carried out 863 missions in 2014, which includes attending 310 road traffic collisions and responding to 265 medical emergencies.
Aurivo takes 60m litres of milk each year from Northern Ireland to its plant at Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon.
That is turned into butter and milk powders.
Around 60 of the 1,000 farmers who supply Aurivo are from Northern Ireland.
They account for 16% of the co-operative's milk pool.
The company's chief executive, Aaron Forde said it hoped there would be an uncomplicated cross-border trading arrangement after the UK's exit from the EU.
But he said if they were faced with tariffs and customs delays, Aurivo would not abandon its suppliers here.
"We've had a long-term arrangement with a lot of these guys up there and we don't walk away from those kind of long-term relationships easily.
"We also have customers for that milk in 50 markets around the world and that is important as well."
Mr Forde said, if necessary, Aurivo would look for a partnership arrangement with a processing company in Northern Ireland, so that milk could be dealt with locally.
Before the abolition of milk quotas in 2015, the company had to make separate returns to officials on either side of the border for its northern and southern supplies.
Mr Forde said those same processes could be used to deal with any bureaucracy created by new customs arrangements.
The milk powders made at Ballaghaderreen are sold across Africa and the Middle East under existing EU trade deals.
About 30% of all milk produced in Northern Ireland crosses the border for processing by a number of dairy companies.
But the bulk of it is processed locally with much of the produce sold in Great Britain, meaning it will not be subject to tariff or customs checks.
Dale Farm is the biggest company here, with 1,300 farmers and 1,000 employees.
Cheese is central to the firm's business, accounting for more than half of the 850m litres of milk Dale Farm collects every year.
Chief Executive Nick Whelan accepts his company is "reasonably well positioned for Brexit" after a decision five years ago to concentrate on supplying the UK market.
But he said they are not complacent.
They are concerned about the sustainability of some dairy farmers should subsidy payments be withdrawn.
And as a company with 22% of migrant workers, future rules around labour will be critical.
"Uncertainty is the biggest issue we have around Brexit," he said.
"If one had certainty that would be a huge benefit."
Mr Whelan said Dale Farm had invested £60m in the business over the last five years.
But he said decisions around £30m of future investment were being delayed because the business case would depend on whether there was a hard or soft Brexit.
The 27-year-old, who scored 14 goals for the Reds this season, has agreed a two-month deal and will stay until the end of the W-League campaign.
Dowie said: "I have always wanted to play abroad and experience different styles of play. I am relishing the opportunity to go out on loan."
Victory are managed by former Bristol Academy boss Dave Edmondson.
But they are bottom of the table after losing their opening five matches and seem unlikely to reach the play-offs, meaning their season would end in early January.
Dowie signed a new contract with Liverpool before the start of the season, but the Reds finished seventh in the eight-team Women's Super League.
Officers said they had alerted the family of 26-year-old Nitin Woocheet, from Southsea, who has been missing from Portsmouth since 18 March.
The body, which has not yet been identified, was discovered by crew on a fishing vessel on Sunday evening.
It was then recovered by the RNLI's Bembridge Lifeboat.
A spokesman for Hampshire Constabulary said: "Officers are in the early stages of an investigation into the death, which at this stage is unexplained."
Mohammed Istiak Alamgir, 36, Yousaf Bashir, 35 and Rajib Khan, 37, are accused of making speeches which urged support for the militant group.
Mr Khan and another man Ziaur Rahman, 38, allegedly helped organise meetings where such speeches were made.
The men were remanded in custody until 8 January when they will appear at the Old Bailey.
During the hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court, prosecutor Mark Dawson accepted the alleged meetings had primarily been for prayer but said they had also been used to spread hatred.
The men were arrested following a joint operation by the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command and the Eastern Counter Terrorism and Intelligence Unit on 2 December.
He told the Evening Standard large-scale rail engineering work may make journeys more difficult.
Several major rail routes are affected, particularly the London to Scotland West Coast main line, parts of Kent and lines running through Reading.
The RAC says four million motorists will be travelling on Good Friday and some 4.5 million on Easter Sunday.
Arriva Trains says passengers in Wales will face delays if travelling to London due to engineering works.
"There will be alternatives and we've lifted almost all motorway roadworks to help," Mr McLoughlin said.
"But if you are travelling between Friday and Monday night please check your journey first, it may be that you'll think twice about how you travel.
"I'm sorry if it is more difficult - but my promise is that the work is essential and when it's done the benefits will be worthwhile."
He also said "an army of 14,000 workers" would be working around the clock over the Easter weekend to upgrade lines.
Network Rail has promised to try and prevent a repeat of the rail chaos which occurred at Christmas.
An overrunning engineering project shut the line between Reading and London Paddington at the end of last year.
Julian Burnell, from Network Rail, said work on the Reading station redevelopment, in its last major stage, was a "very big project, dealing with one of the biggest bottlenecks anywhere in the country".
He added: "I can't say there's absolutely no danger [of an overrun at Easter], but we have done everything in our power to get it finished in good time. There are hundreds of buses waiting if that happens."
Work on the railways this Easter includes:
As a result of the work being undertaken, Virgin is "strongly recommending" that passengers do not travel between Good Friday and Easter Monday.
And speaking of the work being carried out at Watford, Network Rail route managing director Martin Frobisher said: "There is never a good time to carry out this type of work but we have liaised closely with the train operators to plan for it to take place at a quieter time on the railway."
On the roads, Highways England - formerly the Highways Agency - said more than 550 miles of roadworks will be lifted over Easter on England's motorways and major A roads.
According to traffic information company Trafficmaster, the top five busiest stretches of road over Easter are likely to be:
Breakdown company Green Flag said 54,000 callouts were expected over the weekend, with one puncture every minute. It said the M4 was likely to be one of the worst-congested roads.
Some 16 million cars are expected to take to the roads over Easter.
Gatwick Airport will see some 480,000 passengers between Good Friday and Easter Monday - an increase of about 11% on Easter last year.

An Iron Age broch recreated in Lego goes on public display this week.
At a height of 40cm and covering an area of about 1.2 m sq, the roundhouse and a surrounding landscape are made of 10,000 pieces.
Brick to the Past, a team specialising in historically-themed Lego models, built it for the Caithness Broch Project.
The model and the Lego landscape it is set in goes on display at Thurso's Caithness Horizons Museum on Friday. It will be exhibited until 16 October.
Caithness Broch Project's Kenneth McElroy said: "This is a fantastic piece of work, and it's been very hard to resist playing with it.
"We hope that the Lego broch will encourage people to learn more and enjoy Caithness' fascinating and under-investigated archaeological past."
He added: "We'd also like to thank Santander's Discovery Foundation for making this broch possible."
The ruins of what were some of Scotland's oldest and most formidable structures can be found in the Highlands and Orkney.
Caithness has more broch sites than anywhere else in Scotland. Caithness Broch Project was set up to raise awareness of the remains of more than 180 of the ancient buildings in the area.
There are also impressive ruins of brochs in Glenelg in the north west Highlands, while evidence of what is thought to be a rare example of a broch in an urban setting has been uncovered in Stirling.
The stone-built houses have been excavated by archaeologists at Thrumster, near Wick, and near Dunning in Perthshire.
Dan Harris, of Brick the Past, said: "We love history and believe that Lego offers a great way of engaging both young and old in the subject.
"So when Caithness Broch Project approached us we jumped at the chance to work with them.
"Because of the broch's round but tapered shape, this is undoubtedly the most challenging model I have ever built, but it's been a fascinating subject and great fun to make."
The 25-year-old beat Russian Ekaterina Makarova 6-1 6-4 in the Australian Open last 16 on Monday.
Konta will face 22-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams in the quarter-finals.
"I started working with her because I really believe she can [win a Grand Slam] if she keeps getting better like this," said Fissette.
"She has the game. It's always great to see a girl who has a very big first serve, a very big second serve - which girl can do that?
"She has big ground strokes, not many weaknesses, and I also saw her as somebody who is very hard-working and very disciplined."
Fissette is working with Konta for the first time at a major tournament after she made a surprise decision to replace Spaniard Esteban Carril towards the end of 2016, despite having had the most successful year of her career so far.
Belgian coach Fissette, 36, was an undistinguished player but is renowned for his tactical nous and motivational ability, working with Grand Slam winners Victoria Azarenka and Kim Clijsters, and coaching Sabine Lisicki to the 2013 Wimbledon final.

Konta, the last Briton in the men's or women's singles draw after Andy Murray and Dan Evans exited on Sunday, has been in impressive form in Melbourne and has yet to drop a set at the tournament.
And Fissette believes that the world number nine can deal with the pressure of being tipped for greater things.
"I know Jo is more humble," he added. "She always speaks about the process and wanting to get better and of course that is for me the way she will win a Grand Slam one day
"But I also had to tell her 'you can win a Grand Slam'. That is my job, to give her the belief, and beating players like [Agnieszka] Radwanska and [Caroline] Wozniacki, that will give her a lot of confidence."
"I welcome that of course. I always like when people speak about my player as a contender for the Slam and I think Jo should welcome that too.
"It will be interesting to see how Jo reacts but she will have to handle it. She has no choice."
High Commissioner Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein urged a full and transparent investigation into the attack.
Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres said at least 12 of its staff and seven patients were killed.
US forces were carrying out air strikes at the time.
At least 37 people were seriously injured, 19 of them MSF staff.
"All indications currently point to the bombing being carried out by international Coalition forces," MSF said.
The Nato alliance has admitted its forces may have hit the hospital.
High Commissioner Zeid said: "International and Afghan military planners have an obligation to respect and protect civilians at all times, and medical facilities and personnel are the object of a special protection.
"These obligations apply no matter whose air force is involved, and irrespective of the location."
MSF said that all parties to the conflict, including Kabul and Washington, had been told the precise GPS co-ordinates of the hospital on many occasions, including on 29 September.
In a statement, the charity said all indications pointed to the bombing being carried out by international coalition forces.
It reported that from 02:08 until 03:15 local time, the hospital was hit by a series of aerial bombing raids at approximately 15-minute intervals.
The main central hospital building - housing the intensive care unit, emergency rooms, and physiotherapy ward - was repeatedly hit during each aerial raid while surrounding buildings were left mostly untouched, it added.
"The bombs hit and then we heard the plane circle round," said Heman Nagarathnam, MSF head of programmes in northern Afghanistan.
"There was a pause, and then more bombs hit. This happened again and again. When I made it out from the office, the main hospital building was engulfed in flames. Those people that could had moved quickly to the building's two bunkers to seek safety."
MSF president Meinie Nicolai described the incident as "abhorrent and a grave violation of international humanitarian law".
She added: "We demand total transparency from coalition forces. We cannot accept that this horrific loss of life will simply be dismissed as 'collateral damage'."
A spokesman for US forces in Afghanistan, Col Brian Tribus, said: "US forces conducted an air strike in Kunduz city at 02:15 (local time)... against individuals threatening the force.
"The strike may have resulted in collateral damage to a nearby medical facility."
In a statement, US Defence Secretary Ash Carter said: "While we are still trying to determine exactly what happened, I want to extend my thoughts and prayers to everyone affected.
"A full investigation into the tragic incident is under way in co-ordination with the Afghan government."
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said the US-led Nato force had offered condolences over the incident.
The Afghan interior ministry said a group of 10 to 15 militants were found hiding in the hospital.
"They are killed, all of the terrorists were killed, but we also lost doctors," ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqi said.
The Taliban denied that any of its fighters were there.
A Taliban statement described the air strikes which hit the hospital as "deliberate", and carried out by "the barbaric American forces".
MSF says that staff and patients critically injured in the attack on the hospital have been transferred to a hospital in Pul-e Khumri, two hours' drive away.
There has been intense fighting in Kunduz since Taliban fighters swept into the northern city on Monday.
The 79-year-old Swiss had planned to attend the match in Vancouver, despite Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke pulling out of the opening ceremony.
Two criminal investigations into alleged Fifa corruption are ongoing.
Blatter's lawyer, Richard Cullen, said Fifa senior vice-president Issa Hayatou would attend the match instead.
Fifa said Blatter - who is reportedly under investigation in the United States - and Valcke would remain at Fifa headquarters "due to their current commitments in Zurich".
It will be the first time since he became president in 1998 that Blatter has not presented the trophy to the tournament winners.
In May, Blatter was elected for a fifth term in charge, but has since suggested he no longer has a mandate to lead the sport's world governing body.
He says he has not resigned from his position and is thought to be considering standing for re-election at an emergency meeting of the executive committee in December.
Seven Fifa officials were arrested on 27 May following a dawn raid on a luxury hotel in Zurich.
They were among 14 officials and associates indicted by United States authorities on racketeering and bribery charges.
Swiss prosecutors have also begun a separate criminal investigation into how the rights for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were awarded. | A five-year-old Oklahoma girl has made history by becoming the youngest person ever to qualify for the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Paul Lightowler, 60, died nine days after being hit by Richard Eveleigh, 63, after they watched Liverpool's Europa League final defeat on 18 May.
Mr Lightowler's family had urged the judge at Liverpool Crown Court not to send Eveleigh, who admitted manslaughter, to prison.
However, Judge Clement Goldstone QC sentenced him to 28 months in prison.
The court heard the two Liverpool fans had watched the match at Liverpool Echo Arena together and were walking along Gradwell Street in the city centre when they fell out.
The Crown Prosecution Service said CCTV showed Eveleigh of Woodlands Drive, Barnston, Wirral, punch his friend, who fell and cracked the back of his head on the road, knocking him unconscious. He never regained consciousness.
Eveleigh told police he was "mortified" when he realised what he had done as he had not meant to hurt him.
The court heard the pair were best friends and their families, who sat together for the sentencing, "remain extremely close".
Eveleigh described how he had been treated with "great kindness" by Mr Lightowler's relatives.
The victim's sister Clare Bowe wrote a letter to the judge, pleading with him not to jail Eveleigh and said her family considers his death an accident.
Judge Goldstone said the "magnanimity" of her family "was something he has never experienced before".
He said Eveleigh was "no doubt devastated" but added "whilst it's a grievous loss - it's a loss for which you bear entire responsibility".
He told Eveleigh he will have to serve half the sentence in custody.
The emergency services, which included an air ambulance, were sent to Spring Road, Sholing at about 18:00 BST.
The 19-year-old man, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hampshire Police said the motorcyclist collided with a silver Peugeot car and a Peugeot taxi. Motorists are advised to avoid the area as the road is currently closed.
Anyone who saw the crash is being asked to contact police.
Yes, we're talking about Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola.
The pair are coming to Manchester to take charge at two of the world's most famous clubs next season.
Pep was announced as Man City manager in February, while Jose is to take the top job at Manchester United after Louis van Gaal's sacking.
Let's look at why footy fans can't wait for the summer.
Who's Jose? Portuguese, former Chelsea boss who has won the Premier League three times with the London club.
Who's Pep? Spanish, current Bayern Munich manager, has spent most of his career as a player, and then manager, at Barcelona.
Both men are famed for being fiercely competitive, as well as super stylish.
Jose's known for his passion and entertaining humour - calling himself the "Special One".
Pep, on the other hand, is known for being cool, calm and collected.
The pair first met at Barcelona more than 20 years ago - when Guardiola was a player and Mourinho worked there.
They later became coaching arch rivals in Spain's La Liga - Pep managed Barca between 2008 and 2012, whilst Jose was the top boss at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013.
Both of their trophy cabinets are pretty full...
Guardiola has won six league titles - three times with Barca in Spain and three times with Bayern Munich in Germany.
Mourinho has gone one better. He has seven league titles to his name - with Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Porto.
When it comes to the Champions League, they've both won twice.
Guardiola won with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011. But he missed out in 2010 because of Mourinho, when his side Inter Milan beat Barca in the semi-finals. Ouch.
Mourinho also won the Champions League back in 2004 with underdogs Porto, who actually beat Man United in the quarter-finals.
"Whatever team he goes to he will be successful. For me, it's almost a certainty."
Former Barca player Eidur Gudjohnsen on Pep
"He has always been a leader. Even when he was playing... as a kid, he was the one orchestrating things, taking the lead."

The charity Cancer Research UK said it was a "huge burden".
The figures, published in the Lancet Oncology, included the cost of drugs and health care as well as earnings lost through sickness or families providing care.
Lung cancer was the most costly form of the disease.
The team from the University of Oxford and King's College London analysed data from each of the 27 nations in the EU in 2009.
The showed the total cost was 126bn euro and of that 51bn (£43bn) euro was down to healthcare costs including doctors' time and drug costs.
Lost productivity, because of work missed through sickness or dying young, cost 52bn (£44bn) euro while the cost to families of providing care was put at 23bn (£19.5bn) euro.
Overall, richer countries, such as Germany and Luxembourg, spent more on cancer treatment per person than eastern European countries such as Bulgaria and Lithuania.
Lung cancer accounted for more than a tenth of all cancer costs in Europe. The deadly cancer tends to affect people at an earlier age than other cancers so the lost productivity through early deaths is a major factor.
However, the overall economic burden is behind the costs of dementia and cardiovascular disease.
An EU-wide study, by the same research group, showed cardiovascular diseases, including high blood pressure and stroke, cost 169bn euro (£144bn) a year while dementia cost 189bn euro (£169bn) in just 15 countries in Western Europe.
Dementia has very high costs associated with long-term care while cardiovascular diseases include such a wide range of conditions it affects many more people than cancer.
One of the researchers, Dr Ramon Luengo-Fernandez, from the Health Economics Research Centre at the University of Oxford, said: "By estimating the economic burden of several diseases it will be possible to help allocate public research funding towards the diseases with the highest burden and highest expected returns for that investment."
Prof Richard Sullivan, from King's College London, said: "It is vital that decision-makers across Europe use this information to identify and prioritise key areas.
"More effective targeting of investment may prevent health care systems from reaching breaking point - a real danger given the increasing burden of cancer - and in some countries better allocation of funding could even improve survival rates."
Sara Osborne, head of policy at Cancer Research UK, said: "The financial impact that cancer has on the economy across Europe due to people dying prematurely from the disease and time off work remains a huge burden.
"This study reinforces why research is vital to improve our understanding of the causes of cancer - so that we lessen the impact of the disease and develop better ways to prevent and treat the illness.
"We also need to understand why the UK's cancer mortality rates remain higher than many EU countries despite a similar spend on cancer care."
The report, read by his defence lawyer, said he was mourning his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
On Monday, the court heard that he was not suffering from a mental disorder when he shot Ms Steenkamp.
He denies murder, saying he killed her by mistake when fearing there was an intruder in the house.
The prosecution says the Olympic athlete deliberately killed Ms Steenkamp, a model and law graduate, after the couple had an argument.
Both prosecution and defence have accepted the findings of the psychologist's report. The BBC's Andrew Harding, who was in court, notes that both sides can interpret its findings favourably.
Two reports - one by a psychologist and another by three psychiatrists - were drawn up after a month of tests to evaluate the athlete's state of mind.
The prosecution on Monday noted that the psychiatrists' report said Mr Pistorius, 27, was capable of distinguishing between right and wrong and so should bear criminal responsibility for his actions.
Another defence witness has described Oscar Pistorius as anxious and vulnerable. Professor Wayne Derman, who has known the athlete and treated him for six years testified about his "exaggerated response" when in uncomfortable situations - the "fight or flight" response.
With the case coming to an end, two reports were pitted against each other, with each side quoting favourable excerpts.
A report by a psychologist in the panel found that Mr Pistorius showed no signs of an explosive temper, narcissism or abusive behaviour, while a report by the three psychiatrists concluded that he could distinguish right from wrong.
Both, however, agreed that he did not suffer from Generalised Anxiety Disorder, discrediting the testimony of a previous defence expert, which had led to the month-long, court-ordered evaluation.
How is PTSD diagnosed?
Defence lawyer Barry Roux on Wednesday quoted the second evaluation as saying that Mr Pistorius, a double-amputee, has a history of feeling insecure and vulnerable, especially without his prosthetic legs.
It said he was likely to react more sharply to fear than an able-bodied person would.
"Should he not receive proper clinical care, his condition is likely to worsen and increase the risks for suicide," Mr Roux quoted the report as saying.
It also said he did not show signs of narcissism or explosive rage, which is usually seen in men who are abusive to their partners.
The court has previously heard that Ms Steenkamp had sent the athlete a message saying: "I'm scared of you sometimes."
Final defence witness Wayne Derman, professor of sports and exercise medicine at the University of Cape Town, said Mr Pistorius was an anxious individual, with hand tremors and chronic problems with the stumps of his legs.
Earlier, Mr Pistorius' manager was cross-examined, with prosecutor Gerrie Nel concentrating on the sprinter's reported rows with roommate Arnu Fourie and his love life.
On Tuesday, Peet van Zyl said Mr Pistorius had become a "global icon" at the 2012 London Olympics and could have increased his income five or six times.
He competed in both the Paralympic and Olympic games.
Mr van Zyl said the athlete was also an "astute businessman" and there were a lot of opportunities for him because of his raised profile.
Our correspondent says that as he sat in the dock, Mr Pistorius must surely have contemplated the future outlined by Mr van Zyl - a future now utterly transformed.

Mr Pistorius said in his statement at the start of the trial that he woke in the early hours and walked on his stumps to the balcony, pulled in two fans, closed the sliding door and drew curtains. He said that shortly before he had spoken to Reeva, who was in bed beside him.
He said he rejected prosecution claims that a witness heard arguing coming from the house before the shooting.
Mr Pistorius said he heard the bathroom window sliding open and believed that an intruder, or intruders, had entered the bathroom through a window which was not fitted with burglar bars.
"Unbeknown to me, Reeva must have gone to the toilet in the bathroom at the time I brought in the fans," he said.
Mr Pistorius said he approached the bathroom armed with his firearm, to defend himself and his girlfriend, believing Ms Steenkamp was still in bed.
Both sides agree four bullets were fired. Ms Steenkamp was hit three times.
Mr Pistorius said he fired his weapon after hearing a noise in the toilet which he thought was the intruder coming out of the toilet to attack him and Ms Steenkamp.
He said he was in a fearful state, knowing he was on his stumps and unable to run away or properly defend himself.
Mr Pistorius said he rejected claims that he was on his prostheses when he shot at the door.
A witness told the trial she woke to hear a woman screaming and a man shouting for help. She said that after the screams she heard four shots.
Mr Pistorius said he went back to the bedroom after shooting at the toilet door, still shouting for Reeva. Lifting himself up onto the bed, he felt over to the right hand side of it and noticed Ms Steenkamp was not there.
Mr Pistorius said this was when he realised she could have been in the toilet.
Mr Pistorius said he went back to the bathroom but the toilet was locked, so he returned to the bedroom, pulled on his prosthetic legs, turned on the lights before bashing in the toilet door with a cricket bat.
Forensics expert Johannes Vermeulen told the court that the height of the marks on the door caused by the cricket bat suggest Mr Pistorius was on his stumps at the time.
Mr Pistorius's defence team say he then called security at the gated housing complex and a private paramedic service before carrying Ms Steenkamp downstairs.
A security guard claimed it was the other way round, and he had called Mr Pistorius first after reports of gunfire. However, phone records shown to the court revealed Mr Pistorius called the estate manager at 3:19am, a minute later he called the ambulance service and at 3:21am he called estate security.
A minute later he received an incoming call - estate security calling him back.
According to police phone expert Francois Moller, Mr Pistorius called his friend Justin Divaris a short time later and just after 4:00am he called his brother Carl.
Mr Pistorius says he fired multiple shots into a toilet cubicle where Ms Steenkamp was, while in a state of panic.
The sprinter and Ms Steenkamp, 29, had been dating for about three months before the shooting.
He has often displayed his emotions during the trial, including breaking down in tears in court.
There are no juries at trials in South Africa, so the athlete's fate will ultimately be decided by the judge, assisted by two assessors.
If found guilty of murder, Mr Pistorius, who went on trial on 3 March, could face life imprisonment. If he is acquitted of that charge, the court will consider an alternative charge of culpable homicide, for which he could - if convicted - receive about 15 years in prison.
The race will be on a street circuit around the capital Baku and incorporate its medieval old city, modern skyline and a view across the Caspian Sea.
The oil-rich state is in the Caucasus region where eastern Europe and western Asia meet and its F1 race is to be called Grand Prix of Europe.
That title has been held by races in Germany, Spain and the UK in the past.
The Azerbaijan government said the track layout had yet to be finalised.
But Azerbaijan's Minister of Youth and Sport, Azad Rahimov, said the start-finish straight would be in Azadliq Square, and the track would pass major landmarks in the city.
This is a model previously followed in Singapore, which first hosted a grand prix on a street track in 2008 and has since become one of the most popular events on the calendar.
Azerbaijan's government is funding the race to raise the country's global profile.
Rahimov said: "Our location at the crossroads of eastern Europe and western Asia is a new frontier for Formula 1 racing.
"Azerbaijan is a modern European country that has established a reputation as a centre of sporting excellence.
"The deal to bring Formula 1 racing to Baku is a very significant new chapter in our ongoing success to attract the world's largest sporting events to our country."
The woman driving the car only became aware of the kitten when she heard repeated squeaking.
She was travelling from Cornwall to London and stopped the car at Staines, Surrey, when the squeaking made her think there was a mechanical problem.
The AA mechanic who came to fix the car found the kitten under the bonnet and brought her to the Willett House vets in Staines.
Sarah Watkins, from the surgery, said: "There's absolutely nothing wrong with her."
The kitten is described as a tortoise-shell, between 8-10 weeks old and has not been microchipped.
John MacIntosh, of Dingwall, challenged the discretionary life sentence he was given in 2014 which ordered that he serve at least 10 years.
Judges at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh have imposed an Order for Lifelong Restriction (OLR) on him.
They ordered that he must serve at least seven years in jail before he becomes eligible to apply for parole.
MacIntosh's counsel Claire Mitchell argued that judges at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh could deal with him by imposing an extended sentence - involving a determinate jail sentence and a further period of supervision - and that it was not necessary for the court to impose an OLR on him.
Under an OLR the court imposes a minimum term to be served, known as a punishment part, but the offender would only be released when the parole board considers he no longer poses a threat to the community.
The Lord Justice Clerk, Lady Dorrian, sitting with Lord Menzies and Lord Drummond Young, said they could not agree with the submission that MacIntosh's risk could be adequately managed through an extended sentence.
The judges imposed an OLR on him, but ordered that he must serve a seven-year minimum period in jail before he becomes eligible to apply for parole.
Lady Dorrian said they would give reasons in detail in writing for their decision in due course.
MacIntosh was found guilty at the High Court in Aberdeen of raping three women and sexually assaulting and attempting to rape a nine-year-old girl.
The offences happened in the Inverness and Dingwall areas between 1996 and 2004.
He had previously been jailed for having sex with girls aged 13 and 14.
Then Omar Kharbin converted a bold, Panenka-style stoppage-time penalty to earn victory over Uzbekistan and make an appearance at Russia 2018 a realistic goal.
Syria, in fourth, move within one point of their opponents in Asian Qualifying Group A. The top two qualify automatically, with the third-place side advancing to a continental play-off.
As we reported in Syria: Football on the frontline on Wednesday, the Syrians are playing their home fixtures at neutral venues, and Malaysia has been their "home" since last September.

With the hopes and dreams of a nation resting on his shoulders, Omar Kharbin opted to hit a Panenka-style penalty.
It was a truly bold decision given the risk and stakes involved.
But in a way it is entirely in keeping with the spirit and ethos of this Syrian team.
They believe they are playing for a higher purpose than simply qualifying for the World Cup, with the players determined to cast themselves as a symbol of unity.
It is, they feel, about giving the Syrian people something to cheer about as the war that has engulfed their country enters its seventh year.
The emotion poured out on the final whistle and the head coach, Ayman Hakeem, broke down in tears in the post-match press conference. Choking on his words he said this was a victory for the Syrian people.
The team will now fly to Seoul to take on South Korea on 28 March with renewed belief that the dream to make it to Russia 2018 can become a reality.
The country has two rival governments - one in Tripoli, another in the east.
But there is growing concern that the Islamic State group (IS), with a stronghold in the city of Sirte, is profiting from the instability.
US Secretary of State John Kerry is among those at the talks pushing the rival groups to implement a UN plan.
Delegates from the two opposing administrations, which are backed by militia groups, agreed after months of talks at a meeting in Tunis on Friday on a date - 16 December - to sign an accord on the unity government.
However, it is unclear how much support in Libya they will have for doing so.
Neither of the opposing parliaments in Tripoli and the east has voted to adopt the plan, but it is believed it could be signed in Rome without a formal vote in Libya.
Tough task of leading Libya peace talks
Who wants what in Libya?
Libya is home to a wide range of rival militia groups, many of them Islamist, who have not taken part in negotiations.
The UN proposal envisages the establishment of a nine-member presidential council within 30 days alongside a parliament.
Mr Kerry is co-chairing the Rome talks with Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni.
They are joined by other Western representatives and officials from North Africa and the Middle East as well as the UN Libya envoy, Martin Kobler.
The threat from IS has galvanised support outside Libya for a solution.
"Mobilising international support to assist Libyan authorities to take decisive measures to combat, contain and eliminate this imminent danger is a must," Mr Kobler said on Friday.
Libya has been unstable since long-time ruler Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown and killed in 2011.
An Islamist militia took over much of Tripoli last year and the internationally recognised government was forced to flee to the east.
After talks in Mexico City, Mr Obama said illegal immigration to the US was at a historic low due to the strength of the Mexican economy.
He also pledged to continue co-operation in combating drug-trafficking despite a shift in Mexico's policy.
Mexico wants to end the widespread access the US has to its intelligence.
This is Mr Obama's first visit to Mexico since Mr Pena Nieto took office in December 2012.
"I agreed to continue our close co-operation on security, even as the nature of that co-operation will evolve," the US leader said at a joint news conference.
For his part, President Pena Nieto played down notions that the recent shift meant less co-operation between the two countries.
"There is no clash between these two goals."
Mexico's Deputy Foreign Minister for North America, Sergio Alcocer, announced on Monday that an arrangement allowing US security agents unprecedented access to Mexican intelligence would come to an end.
All requests by the US security agencies would now have to be channelled through Mexico's interior ministry, which controls security and domestic policy.
Mr Alcocer insisted the new policy would improve co-operation rather than hamper it, but US analysts said the move could put an end to ties forged between agents on the ground.
In Mexico City, Mr Obama also highlighted that an overhaul of the US immigration system was important for US-Mexican trade, which totalled $500bn (£322bn) in 2012.
Mexico is the third largest trade partner of the US.
Getting Mexico's backing on securing the 3,200km-long (2,000 miles) border could prove key for President Obama as he tries to sell his immigration reform to US politicians, analysts say.
Bipartisan senators currently debating the reform have insisted that tough border security be in place before undocumented immigrants can gain legal status.
A strong Mexican economy could also help cut down on emigration from Mexico, as workers do not feel the need to seek employment abroad.
Last year, for the first time in four decades, about the same number of Mexican migrants returned home as arrived in the US, bringing net migration to zero, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.
The trend has been ascribed to tougher border controls and immigration laws on the one hand, and the US recession and a growing Mexican economy on the other.
President Pena Nieto said the two leaders had agreed that the bilateral relationship be multi-themed - an inference that in recent years security concerns have dominated at the expense of economic and trade issues, the BBC's Will Grant in Mexico City reports.
Mr Pena Nieto said a deal had been reached to create a joint commission for the economy and bilateral trade, which would include US Vice-President Joe Biden and other senior officials.
A working group was also announced to support young entrepreneurs on both sides of the border as well as agreements on university education.
To underline the strength of the bilateral relations, Mr Pena Nieto used former US President John F. Kennedy's saying: "While geography has made us neighbours, tradition has made us friends."
However, the new tack on security combined with comprehensive immigration reform in the US will provide a strong test of that friendship, our correspondent adds.
Chad, who are currently sitting bottom of Group G without a point, were set to play Tanzania in a reverse fixture in Dar es Salaam on Monday after a 1-0 defeat at home on Wednesday.
But the FTFA president, Moctar Mahamoud, wrote to their opponents saying their decision to pull out was taken by the football authority due to 'global economic conditions'.
"As part of our participation in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers for Gabon 2017 and specifically the return match against Tanzania, we bring to your attention that our national team has failed to make it to the return leg game in Dar el Salaam scheduled for March 28, " Mahamoud wrote in his letter.
"Indeed, our country has been badly affected by the global economic conditions. Because of this our participation in various competitions has taken a severe dent due to financial constraints.
"We wish you all the best and we apologise for this situation which is basically unavoidable and out of our control."
The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has confirmed Chad's withdrawal by handing out a fine and suspension from the 2019 Nations Cup qualifying round.
"The Chad Football Federation withdraws from the Nations Cup qualifiers where they participated in group G alongside Nigeria, Egypt and Tanzania," Caf announced on Twitter.
"If a team withdraws from the qualifying phase organised in groups, all its results shall be annulled (points, scored and conceded goals).
"Hence, the matches of Chad of the first three days of Group G matches are cancelled and their results will not be taken into consideration.
"Accordingly, following the decision of Caf Executive Committee dated January 15th 2015: "Any group reduced to three teams following a team withdrawal will only qualify the first team of that group."
"The Chadian Football Association is suspended for the upcoming edition of the Nations Cup and must pay the monetary fine of US $20,000."
This latest twist has thrown Group G into a three-team race for the sole ticket to Gabon.
Egypt, who had beaten Chad 5-1 away from home, are now on four points instead of seven.
Second-placed Nigeria have lost three points as well, after their 2-0 victory over Chad was declared as void.
It leaves the Super Eagles on two points. Tanzania have a solitary point.
The seven-time champions Egypt and Nigeria face off in a highly crucial reverse fixture in Alexandria on March 29.
Turkey has repeatedly refused to allow German MPs to visit the 260 soldiers stationed at the Incirlik airbase.
The Ankara government is angry that Germany gave asylum to soldiers accused of involvement in a botched coup.
The German contingent provides reconnaissance jets and tanker aircraft as part of a US-led operation against jihadist group so-called Islamic State.
Simplifying the "painfully complex" tax system would allow him to "deliver an investment-boosting Budget", said IoD director Simon Walker.
In May, a survey of IoD members said the new Conservative government should give priority to reducing the deficit.
But the IoD now says that alone is not enough.
"IoD members continue to support the chancellor's priority of eliminating the annual fiscal deficit by the end of this Parliament, but this commitment alone would not be viewed by business as a successful Budget," the IoD said.
"The chancellor must be ambitious in his tax reform agenda in order to create an 'equity economy', in which simple and sensible taxes on wealth and easy-to-understand investment tax breaks encourage more people to buy shares in entrepreneurial businesses."
The IoD called on the chancellor to enact a series of reforms, including changes to inheritance tax and capital gains tax.
It said there should be a consultation on merging the two taxes, to remove the possibility of double taxation.
It also urged the government to raise the annual investment allowance from £500,000 to £600,000, "to help businesses plan longer-term investment projects".
"The chancellor has the opportunity to deliver an investment-boosting Budget, making it easier for businesses to raise capital and promoting investment in the private sector," said the IoD's Mr Walker.
"The painfully complex system of unreliable allowances and competing or overlapping schemes makes it harder for business to take long-term investment decisions.
"For individuals, the process of investing is daunting, meaning many do not even consider it an option."
Mr Walker said the chancellor needed to make sure the tax system "promotes investment and is easy for both individuals and business to understand".
The Easter Road club are searching for a new boss follow Stubbs' move to Rotherham and have spoken to former Celtic and Bolton manager Lennon, 44.
"He's got great experience, he's obviously a good man manager," Stubbs told BBC Scotland.
"It tells you about the ambitions of the club and I'm sure Hibs will be talking to other high-profile people."
Stubbs, also 44 and a team-mate of Lennon's at Celtic in season 2000-01, chose to leave Hibs less than two weeks after guiding them to a first Scottish Cup win in 114 years.
And he thinks the Edinburgh club will move swiftly to fill the vacancy.
"I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about a new appointment this week," said the former Everton and Celtic defender.
Stubbs failed to gain promotion for Hibs during his two seasons at Easter Road, twice losing out at the play-off semi-final stage.
However, he is backing his successor to lead the club back to the top-flight next season.
"I'm leaving behind a great bunch of players," said Stubbs. "It was a privilege working with them.
"I fully believe they will go on and win promotion."
Stubbs will now begin assembling his Rotherham squad and admits he will consider recruiting from Scotland, but he has pledged not to raid his former employers.
"I'd like to, but I wouldn't," he said when asked about the possibility of signing anyone from Hibs.
"There are players there I would take, but out of respect I won't be returning.
"There are certainly players in Scotland who would embrace the Championship, but I won't give you any names."
Stubbs is happy he could deliver the Scottish Cup for Hibs after such a long wait and 10 lost finals since 1902.
"It probably didn't sink in for five or six days," he said of the 3-2 success over Rangers at Hampden. "I'm glad to be leaving on the back of such an amazing win.
"That Saturday and Sunday [the cup parade through Edinburgh] will stay with me forever.
"It's such a fantastic club and I thoroughly enjoyed my two years."
The Serb, 48, took charge of the Whites in December 2015 and his deal at Craven Cottage expires this summer.
"At this moment I am committed for my team, as important things are in front of us," he told BBC Radio London.
"I am very happy here and it is a fantastic place. I pay people around me to care about my future."
When Jokanovic joined Fulham, they were 18th in the Championship table, and the west London club eventually finished the 2015-16 campaign in 20th place, but 11 points above the relegation zone.
Despite losing strikers Moussa Dembele and Ross McCormack, who scored 36 league goals between them last season, Fulham are challenging for the play-offs this term.
They are eighth after 25 games, six points off the top six but with a game in hand.
Former Chelsea and Yugoslavia midfielder Jokanovic, who guided Watford to promotion to the Premier League in 2014-15, is relaxed about his future.
"A characteristic of Fulham is not to be especially quick to take decisions," he said.
"My profession always pushed me to be quick, and sometimes I made some wrong decisions, sometimes good. I am fully concentrated on my job.
"I am a young man and in the summer I will be in this business 100 per cent. I am not ready for resting."
Lam Wing Kee was seized in the Chinese city of Shenzhen last October.
He and the four other men worked at a publishing house that sold books critical of China's leaders.
Mr Lam said a confession broadcast on Chinese television in February, featuring four of the men, had been scripted.
"It was a show, and I accepted it," he told a news conference on Thursday, according to the South China Morning Post.
"They gave me the script. I had to follow the script. If I did not follow it strictly, they would ask for a retake."
HK booksellers 'author' attacks China
Four of the men from Mighty Current publishing house, Mr Lam, Gui Minhai, Lui Bo and Cheung Jiping, gave details of their alleged offences during their appearance on Phoenix TV in February.
Lam Wing Kee returned to Hong Kong on Tuesday. Only one of the men has yet to return from the mainland.
Some people in Hong Kong believe the four were detained by China because of a book about President Xi Jinping.
They said they had sold 4,000 "unauthorised" books to 380 customers in mainland China, Phoenix TV reported.
1. Lui Bo, general manager. Went missing: Shenzhen, 15 October 2015 Returned: March 2016
2. Cheung Jiping, business manager. Went missing: Dongguan, 15 October Returned: March 2016
3. Gui Minhai, co-owner. Went missing: Thailand, 17 October Still missing
4. Lam Wing Kee, manager. Went missing: Shenzhen, 23 October Returned: June 2016
5. Lee Bo, shareholder. Went missing: 30 December - he says from the mainland, Mr Lam says it was from Hong Kong Returned: March 2016
Public confessions have long been a part of China's criminal law, but experts say many confessions are forced.
In the news conference, Mr Lam also said:
The defiant bookseller's bombshell revelations electrified the journalists in the room, as well as social media in Hong Kong.
No-one had expected him to tell all.
Besides Gui Minhai, who remains in custody, Mr Lam was the last of the associates of the Mighty Current publishing house to be released from detention.
The others - Lee Bo, Lui Bo and Cheung Jiping - had all been released much earlier and said little about their time in mainland China.
They had all decided it was better, perhaps safer, to stay silent.
But Mr Lam chose a different route.
He decided to take a public stand, he said, because he wants Hong Kong people to defend the system that separates this city from China.
Under Hong Kong law, Chinese police do not have jurisdiction in Hong Kong, which is governed under the principle of "One Country, Two Systems".
But the case has sparked international concern that China could be attempting to rein in freedom of expression in Hong Kong.
China's foreign ministry said its officials would not behave illegally and urged other countries not to meddle in its affairs.
Hong Kong's government said in a statement "that the police are now proactively contacting Mr Lam himself to understand more and will take appropriate follow-up action".
It added that any evidence of intervention by Chinese law enforcement agencies in Hong Kong would be "unacceptable".
"Lam Wing Kee has blown apart the Chinese authorities' story," Mabel Au, director of Amnesty International Hong Kong, said.
"He has exposed what many have suspected all along - that this was a concerted operation by the Chinese authorities to go after the booksellers."
About 300 cadets are being sent home early from Bassingbourn Barracks after allegations of sex attacks.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed some recruits left the UK earlier and the others will go in the "coming days".
Omar Al-Mukhtar, not one of the accused, said the Libyan soldiers think the men concerned were badly treated.
The MoD declined to comment on Mr Al-Mukhtar's criticism.
Two of the cadets have admitted sexual assaults against women in Cambridge, with another charged but yet to enter a plea, and a further two have appeared in court charged with rape.
Nearby residents have complained about the Libyan cadets leaving the base to buy alcohol and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has admitted there have been disciplinary issues.
Security around the barracks has been reinforced with soldiers brought from Scotland to secure the base.
Mr Al-Mukhtar said the Libyan cadets were allowed out for only three hours a week and were always accompanied by British soldiers when they left the barracks.
He added that when soldiers left the base they had been offered drugs, alcohol and sex for money.
Responding to reports of indiscipline and in-fighting between the cadets, he said that there had been "a small problem", but that everyone was now friends again.
However, he then said there had been "several problems" between the Libyan cadets and British soldiers.
While the BBC understands that a handful of the Libyans - thought to be around five - have lodged asylum claims, Mr Al-Mukhtar denied this.
He said they were proud to be Libyan and did not want to live in a foreign country.
Mr Al-Mukhtar said he and other Libyans were proud to have graduated from the training course at Bassingbourn, and that they were very happy with the training they had received.
He described it as being of a high standard, and said: "Even the generals here say we did really well".
However, he said the cadets were unhappy with the way they had been treated by the British government, which he said had "not offered a comfortable way of living here [at the barracks]", and that some people were "trying to ruin the reputation of the Libyan Army".
Asked why the cadets were being flown home two weeks before the end of their course, he said: "I feel, like all the rest of us, there is no problem.
"It was the British from the beginning. They should have sought a solution and finished the training well.
"They didn't tell us about British law and what's the difference between right and wrong here."
Mr Al-Mukhtar complained that when the cadets were arrested and their comrades went to ask the authorities at the base what was happening, they were given no information.
He said the cadets believed the arrested men were "unlawfully treated", adding: "We blame the British authorities for dealing with it in this way."
He said Libyan cadets at the base believed the British authorities dealt with the arrested men in "an unlawful way… we blame the British authorities for not taking proper care of us".
Asked if the cadets had a message for the British government he said: "Not to take things too seriously".
The last of the Libyan cadets are due to leave the base on Friday, and the MOD said the training of Libyan soldiers in the UK was "being reviewed".
The group said in a statement it was carried out by "a heroic soldier".
At least 600 revellers were celebrating in the early hours of Sunday at Istanbul's Reina nightclub when the gunman began firing indiscriminately, discharging some 180 bullets.
The gunman is still at large and a manhunt is under way. Police say they have made eight arrests so far.
IS has been blamed for recent attacks in Turkey, which is taking military action against the group in neighbouring Syria.
The militant group has already been linked to at least two attacks in Turkey last year.
The IS statement accused Turkey of shedding the blood of Muslims through "its air strikes and mortar attacks" in Syria.
Turkey launched a military operation in August aimed at pushing back IS and Kurdish forces, with some of the most intensive recent fighting against IS around the northern town of al-Bab.
Turkey has also been a key player with Russia in negotiating a truce between moderate rebel forces and the government.
Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said on Monday that the nightclub attack was a "message" against Turkey's operations in Syria but that they would not be affected.
More details of the nightclub attack have been emerging. The gunman arrived by taxi before rushing through the entrance with a long-barrelled gun he had taken from the boot of the car.
The attacker fired randomly at people in an assault lasting seven minutes, starting with a security guard and a travel agent near the entrance. Both were killed.
The gunman is reported to have removed his overcoat before fleeing during the chaos.
Turkish media reports quote police sources as saying he may have been from Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan.
Kyrgyzstan's foreign ministry said the reports that the suspect might be Kyrgyz were "doubtful" but that it would carry out checks.
Mr Kurtulmus said Turkish authorities were still working to identify the attacker.
"Information about the fingerprints and basic appearance of the terrorist have been found," he said.
Police are investigating whether he belongs to an IS cell blamed for an attack in June on Ataturk Airport in Istanbul.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused groups such as IS of trying "to create chaos".
"They are trying to... demoralise our people and destabilise our country," he said.
Turkey suffered a bloody 2016 with a series of attacks, some carried out by Kurdish militants.
But a day before the IS claim, the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) was quick to distance itself from the nightclub attack, saying it would "never target innocent civilians".
Some two-thirds of those killed were foreign, according to local media, among them citizens from Israel, Russia, France, Tunisia, Lebanon, India, Belgium, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Bollywood director and producer Abis Rizvi was one of those who died, Indian media report.
The victims
A complete record of those killed has yet to emerge. The body of one of those who died has yet to be identified.
Security guard Fatih Cakmak was one of the first to die.
His brother said he narrowly escaped a double bombing three weeks ago, having been on duty when Kurdish militants launched an attack near a football stadium, killing at least 44 people, mostly police.
At least 69 people are being treated in hospital, officials said, with three in a serious condition.
The nightclub, which sits on the banks of the Bosphorus, is one of Istanbul's most fashionable venues - popular with foreigners and often frequented by singers and sports stars.
Some guests are reported to have thrown themselves into the water to escape.
Istanbul was already on high alert with some 17,000 police officers on duty in the city, following a string of terror attacks in recent months.

Making his debut against Tony Blair in December 2005, David Cameron's famous line was when he said of the prime minister: "He was the future once." Indeed, Mr Cameron went full circle with this, joking at his last ever appearance at Prime Minister's Questions, before handing over to Theresa May, "I was the future once".
Gordon Brown had waited many years to take his bow at Prime Minister's Questions - and the occasion came on 4 July 2007.
Taking place days after attempted suicide bombings in London and Glasgow, the Commons clash with David Cameron was dominated by security issues.
Mr Brown sought to strike a consensual note by saying all parties should "show unity in the face of terror" but the two leaders clashed over the need for identity cards and the banning of extremist groups.
The prime minister announced a number of security-related initiatives but was jeered by the opposition when, in response to one question, he said he had "only been in the job for five days".
Tony Blair has spoken of the nerves he felt as prime minister ahead of the weekly session but when he was leader of the opposition, he often made it look like plain sailing.
Facing John Major for the first time, on 18 October 1994, he attacked what he said were serious divisions at the top of the government over Europe, particularly over the single currency and whether a referendum would be needed before joining the euro.
A "divided government was a weak government", he told MPs.
John Major faced PM's questions on his second day as prime minister on 29 November 1990, having never done it before.
The session got off to a humorous start, when Labour MP Dennis Skinner shouted "resign" as Mr Major rose to answer his first question. Opposition leader Neil Kinnock then offered the new prime minister his "personal congratulations" on his election as leader.
The future of the poll tax dominated exchanges. Mr Kinnock said it would save a lot of "time and money" to just abolish it. Mr Major steered a middle course, saying a thorough review of the controversial tax was the right action to take.
Pundits eagerly awaited the new Labour leader's PMQs debut in September 2015 - his first ever outing at the despatch box, having spent the previous decades watching from the backbenches.
In a departure from the usual format for the Commons clash, he opted to ask the prime minister a series of questions sent to him by members of the public - on housing, mental health, public services.
Mr Corbyn said he wanted "less theatre and more facts" at the weekly parliamentary session.
Ed Miliband gave David Cameron "nought out of two" in answering his questions as the pair had their first squabble at PMQs about benefits, which came after a quieter first exchange about the death of Linda Norgrove, the aid worker killed in Afghanistan.
He said he wanted to "change the tone" of PMQs exchanges, as he demanded "straight answers to straight questions", in the session in October 2010.
The pair also dug into the archives to remind each other and the House about previous pledges by their opponents.
The new Tory leader was always regarded as a tough debater but how would he fare in the bearpit of PMQs?
Taking on Tony Blair, on 12 November 2003, he accused the prime minister of running an incompetent and wasteful government and derided the PM's answers, saying at one point: "Two questions asked, neither answered: not a very good start I'm afraid."
Although the atmosphere was electric, the clash was largely nostalgic in flavour.
After his surprise victory in the Tory leadership contest, Iain Duncan Smith's debut outing on 17 October 2001, was eagerly awaited, although it took place in a sombre atmosphere, just weeks after the 9/11 attacks.
He opted to spread his six questions into two segments: the first on Afghanistan, where he backed the UK-supported military action against the Taliban, and the second on Labour's proposed NHS reforms, which was far more heated.
He raised the case of a constituent who had died after spending nine hours on a hospital trolley, and said Labour's "promises of a better tomorrow" would sound "hollow" to their family and many others.
Mr Blair said such failings were "unacceptable" but hit out at the Tories for not supporting their investment in the NHS.
A youthful William Hague faced an exceedingly tough task, taking on the leadership of a party which had just been battered at the polls and lost many of its big names.
At his first PMQs - now being held once a week - against Tony Blair on 25 June 1997, he seized on reports that a Labour MP had been threatened with expulsion from the party for campaigning against proposals for a Welsh Assembly.
He said it showed the "arrogant behaviour" of a government which could not tolerate "honest and open" debate. Mr Blair said the claims had been proved to be untrue and urged Mr Hague to withdraw them.
OJ Simpson found himself in front of a judge twice in 13 years.
The first time, he was accused of the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Simpson Brown, and Ron Goldman. The second, the kidnap and armed robbery of two memorabilia dealers.
He was only convicted of the latter and, having served nine years, is set to be freed in October.
So, as Simpson prepares to leave jail, the BBC takes a look back at the other people who became as much a part of the headlines as he did.
Simpson's first trial gripped America, divided opinion and made celebrities of everyone who came into contact with it.
The prosecutors: Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden
Marcia Clark would later describe the 135 days she spent as lead prosecutor in the OJ Simpson case as a "trial by fire".
She not only found herself the fodder of tabloid gossip but also the victim of sexism at the hands of many of the men inside the courtroom.
Ms Clark was also forced to live with the guilt - as she saw it - of failing the Brown and Goldman families.
Afterwards, she withdrew from prosecution and is now a best-selling novelist, having published her first book in 2011.
Her colleague Christopher Darden, the co-prosecutor on the case, did not come in for quite the attention Ms Clark did.
However, he too left with a bitter taste in his mouth, telling Oprah Winfrey in 2014 he had been "devastated and decimated by the trial" which, looking back on after two decades, had left him with an "angry" feeling.
Mr Darden swapped practising law for teaching straight after the trial, before turning his hand to criminal defence.
The defence team: Robert Shapiro, Johnnie Cochran and Robert Kardashian
Simpson's so-called "dream team" was a collection of lawyers known for representing the rich and famous. Of course, after they were done clearing Simpson's name, they were also rich and famous.
Johnnie Cochran - who had just represented Michael Jackson in his sexual molestation case - is probably best remembered for the phrase "if it doesn't fit, you must acquit" - a reference to the blood-stained glove found at the scene which the prosecution hoped would place Simpson at the scene.
After the trial, he made millions from a book deal before dying of cancer in 2005.
Robert Shapiro had also established himself as a celebrity lawyer long before taking part in the Simpson trial. He is practising to this day.
As for the 1995 Simpson trial, he told the Hollywood Reporter in 2016: "There's two types of justice that we deal with in America: there's moral justice and there's legal justice.
"If you look at it from a moral point of view, a lot of people would say he absolutely did it. I deal in legal justice, as you did as a lawyer, and that's proof beyond a reasonable doubt. And there's no question in my mind that any fair juror who saw that case from the beginning to the end would conclude there was reasonable doubt."
Simpson's long-time friend Robert Kardashian was thrust into the spotlight after reading out the sports star's goodbye letter following the infamous car chase.
Mr Kardashian apparently believed in his friend's innocence so much he reactivated a long dormant attorney's licence to help at the trial.
Afterwards, he would say he had doubts over Simpson's innocence. Mr Kardashian died of oesophageal cancer in 2003 - four years before his family would become household names, although this time for quite different reasons.
The cop: Mark Fuhrman
Police officer Mark Fuhrman was supposed to be the prosecution's star witness during the trial. Instead, after tapes of him using the n-word emerged, he was labelled a racist and accused of planting evidence to frame Simpson.
He retired during the trial, and was later charged with perjury - which he admitted - having denied using the n-word during his testimony.
It did not stop him going on to be a successful true crime writer starting, of course, with Murder in Brentwood, and later a television pundit, a role he retains to this day.
The witness: Kato Kaelin
Brian "Kato" Kaelin was staying in Simpson's guesthouse on the night of the murder. An aspiring actor, he testified against Simpson during the trial but was roundly derided as looking like a beach bum.
He has gone on to have various screen roles, the most recent of which is in an advert for GuestHouseRent.com - released days before Simpson's parole hearing.
'I AM the guest house expert,' he tells the camera.
The victims' families: The Browns and Goldmans
The families of Nicole Brown Smith and Ron Goldman were not prepared to give up after Simpson was declared not guilty by the jury.
They went on to win a civil case against Simpson, who was ordered to pay $33.5m (£25.8m) in damages to their families.
As a result, the families also own the rights to If I Did It, Simpson's 2008 book explaining how he would have committed the murders had he been responsible.
Ron's sister Kim - who dedicates a lot of her time to helping victims of domestic violence - said earlier this year there was "no escaping" the killing, as it continued to fascinate the public.
Simpson's second trial was never going to be as high-profile as the first.
However, it too had its key players - his accomplices, the majority of whom turned state's witness, and the two victims.
The co-conspirators
The court heard how in 2007 the former football player was accompanied by five other men as he tried to reclaim family pictures and footballs peddled by sport memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Four of these five men made plea deals, testifying against the former sports star. Three were given probation, and one was given total immunity.
It led to Simpson being sentenced to 33 years for armed robbery, assault, kidnapping and other offenses.
The only co-accused who did not testify against Simpson was his golfing friend Clarence Stewart, who was sentenced to a minimum of seven-and-a-half years behind bars, which could have stretched to a 27-year prison term.
However, he was released from prison in 2011 after reaching a plea deal with the prosecutor.
The victims
Simpson's group kidnapped two memorabilia dealers in September 2007: Alan Beardsley, and Bruce Fromong.
The former was a convicted felon who died in 2015, and the latter had been a friend of Simpson's since the 1990s.
Both denied having stolen anything from the NFL player and Fromong has indicated he planned to testify on Simpson's behalf at his parole hearing.
"I never thought that the crime deserved that much time, that long of a sentence," Fromong told CNN.
Umar Balogun died while swimming at Bawsey Pits, Norfolk, in July 2013.
The 16-year-old had been taken to the beauty spot by carers Vanda Cawley and Kevin Roweth from Castle Homes centre, in Cambridgeshire.
The pair had denied failing to take reasonable care of the boy's safety. A jury at King's Lynn Crown Court found them not guilty.
Updates on this story and other Norfolk news
Swimming is banned at the pits, but many ignored warning signs.
Umar disappeared after diving under the surface of the water in the body of the former quarry, near King's Lynn.
He was at the lake with another boy and the two care workers, who had not seen a document which said Umar was a "high risk" for swimming, Norfolk Coroner's Court was told in 2015.
The inquest heard Umar had been tagged under a court order and was being cared for at the centre.
Umar's death was accidental, an inquest jury ruled.
Ryan Pettengell, 41, of King's Lynn, Norfolk, had swum out to look for Umar but he got into difficulties and also drowned.
An inquest concluded in 2014 Mr Pettengell's death was accidental.
Ms Cawley, 51, of Hazel Croft, Werrington, and Mr Roweth, 29, of Edinburgh Drive, Wisbech, had denied failing to take reasonable care of Umar's safety under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
The 70-year-old, who hosted popular ITV shows Blind Date and Surprise Surprise in the 1980s and 1990s, said she was "totally delighted".
"I've been very fortunate to have a long and full career in television and this means the world to me," she said.
She will receive the Special Award at the ceremony on 18 May.
Black first came to fame in the music industry and scored two number one hits in 1964 with Anyone Who Had a Heart and You're My World.
She made her TV debut in 1968 with her own BBC One primetime series featuring the star performing alongside singers such as Matt Monro, Andy Williams, Sir Tom Jones and Sir Cliff Richard. It ran until 1976.
She went on to host a number of shows for ITV, with Blind Date and Surprise Surprise both running for almost two decades.
'Hugely influential'
Speaking last year, Black said she was "semi-retired" but recently appeared on ITV's revamped Surprise Surprise - now hosted by Holly Willoughby - and had her own TV special in 2013, The One and Only Cilla Black.
A three-part ITV drama about the star's life is currently in production, starring Sheridan Smith.
Andrew Newman, chairman of Bafta's television committee, described the presenter as "a true icon in the television and entertainment industry".
"From hosting her own show for the BBC in 1968 to defining ITV entertainment throughout the '80s and '90s, Cilla has been an extremely popular and hugely influential entertainer throughout her long career in television."
Previous recipients of the Bafta Special Award include Jeremy Paxman, Simon Cowell, Clare Balding, Jon Snow and Kate Adie.
The Arqiva British Academy Television Awards will be held at London's Theatre Royal and broadcast on BBC One at 20:00 BST on 18 May.
The problem occurred during the printing of the ballot papers where an ink run has affected a small number of papers.
Dumfries and Galloway Council said that to date it was only aware of six affected papers and replacement documents had been reissued.

Iain Theyers, 45, of Inverness, re-married in 2011 while apparently wedded to Marian Belahonia, 38, of Peru.
Ms Belahonia, who wanted to file for divorce, discovered through Facebook he had re-married, Hull Crown Court heard.
While ex-Robin Hood Airport manager Mr Theyers' conduct was "reprehensible" he had no case to answer, the judge said.
The couple met when Ms Belahonia moved to Nottingham while Mr Theyers was working at the airport, and married in 2006 at her parent's home in Peru, while pregnant with his child.
Ms Belahonia returned to Britain and was later granted full UK citizenship in 2013.
After their marriage deteriorated in 2010, she tracked him down on Facebook in an effort to file for a divorce, but then discovered he had married Louise Martin in 2011 at Bridlington Town Hall.
Mr Theyers claimed his marriage to Ms Belahonia in Peru was a sham to enable her to get a UK visa.
During a three-day trial Judge Jeremy Richardson QC, heard she paid $50 to "a man in the street with a brown envelope" to obtain a marriage certificate.
"I have no doubt the defendant has behaved in a reprehensible fashion," he said.
"He is not charged with immigration evasion.
"Although he does not come out of this well, I have misgivings about the validity of the marriage among the experts and that is not proper to leave to a jury."
Giving his ruling, Judge Richardson said: "The Crown expert appeared astounded the Peruvian authorities allowed the marriage to go ahead... and ruled the marriage was voidable."
However, he stressed he was not ruling on whether the marriage was a sham or not - as that should be an issue dealt with by a family court.
Kent County Council said converting lights to LED technology would cut its bill by about 60%.
Every residential area will return to all-night lighting.
Part-night lighting was introduced in 2010 with about half of Kent's 120,000 lights turned off. Campaigners opposed it, amid claims of a crime rise, but the council said crime had not risen.
Campaigner Tina Brooker, from Gravesend, said a petition had been signed by about 10,000 people.
Councillor David Brazier, cabinet member for environment and transport said Kent Police had indicated there had been no overall increase in crime since the introduction of part-night lighting.
But he added: "Many residents want all-night lighting and this will be affordable with LED technology."
He said LED would deliver savings in energy and carbon tax and provide a light that was controllable and economical to maintain.
Some lights may remain dimmed after peak hours but all-night lighting will be "here to stay", the council said.
Conversion to LED could start later this year and take three years to complete in a £40m scheme, with work starting in residential areas, followed by town centres and main routes.
Mr Brazier said KCC had most of the funding in place with an interest-free loan from government, but he added: "We shall save £5m a year, and so in seven or eight years, the cost of the scheme will be repaid, and then thereafter of course we'll have that annual saving."
The council said LED had been "prohibitively expensive" until now, but had recently fallen in cost with manufacturers guaranteeing products for up to 20 years.
The Spaniard is suing former French government minister Roselyne Bachelot, who accused him of doping.
In a letter to the ITF, he said people should not "speak without evidence".
The 29-year-old added: "Please make all my information public, my biological passport and my complete history of anti-doping tests."
On receipt of the letter, the ITF said the 14-time Grand Slam champion has never failed a drugs test and is free to make public his anti-doping records, to which he has full access.
Nadal also asked the ITF to communicate all future occasions on which he is tested and the results, as soon as they are ready.
Earlier this year, women's world number nine Maria Sharapova admitted to testing positive for meldonium at this year's Australian Open. The Russian is serving a provisional suspension and faces a lengthy ban.
British number one Andy Murray told the Mail on Sunday this month he had been suspicious of some opponents who "don't seem to be getting tired".
The issue of full disclosure of athletes' anti-doping results has proved controversial in other sports.
British Athletics warned past and present athletes against allowing their blood data to be revealed, warning results could be "misinterpreted".
However, several athletes - including distance runners Mo Farah and Jo Pavey - have said results should be made public.
Leicester Royal Infirmary said twice as many people as usual had arrived at the unit overnight, with many suffering alcohol-related injuries.
On Saturday, the Foxes beat Everton at home 3-1 before being presented with the Premier League trophy.
The hospital urged people not to attend A&E unless it was an emergency.
Thousands of fans poured in to the city to join in the football celebrations following Leicester's incredible 5000/1 top-flight triumph.
A statement from the University of Leicester Hospitals NHS Trust said: "Last night and this morning we have seen twice as many patients in our emergency department than we would normally on a Saturday night and Sunday morning.
"We expected it to be incredibly busy this weekend and have the necessary plans in place to safely treat our patients.
"A plea is for those who do not need to come into A&E to call NHS 111 for healthcare advice."
Opera star Andrea Bocelli kicked the party off at the King Power Stadium with pre-match renditions of Nessun Dorma and Time to Say Goodbye, honouring a recent promise to his countryman Ranieri.
The party baton was then handed over to the players, who brushed Everton aside with a goal from Andy King and two from Jamie Vardy before the visitors struck a late consolation.
An open top bus parade will take place on Monday 16 May, ending up in Leicester's Victoria Park.
Michael Skakel, whose aunt Ethel was the widow of Robert Kennedy, was found guilty in 2002 of killing his teenage neighbour with a golf club.
On Wednesday a judge in the US state of Connecticut found Mr Skakel's lawyer had failed to represent him adequately.
Mr Skakel was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. He has maintained his innocence.
"We're very, very thrilled,'' Mr Skakel's lawyer Hubert Santos told reporters.
Mr Santos said he planned to seek Mr Skakel's release on Thursday, the Associated Press news agency reported.
Prosecutor John Smriga told the Associated Press he planned to appeal against the decision overturning the conviction.
Mr Skakel, 52, appealed against his 2002 conviction on the grounds that his trial attorney was negligent in defending him in the death of 15-year-old Martha Moxley.
But prosecutor Susann Gill has said the state has compelling evidence of motive as well as three confessions and other incriminating statements made by Mr Skakel.
"His drug-addled mental state, coupled with the infuriating knowledge that his hated brother Tommy had a sexual liaison with Martha, and the fact that Martha spurned his advances, triggered the rage which led him to beat her to death with a golf club,'' Ms Gill wrote.
The battered body of Moxley, who lived near the Skakel family in wealthy Greenwich, Connecticut, was found on the lawn of her parents' house.
She had been bludgeoned with a golf club - later traced to a set owned by Mr Skakel's mother - and stabbed in the neck with the shaft of the club.
There were no witnesses or forensic evidence, but several people later testified that they had heard Mr Skakel confess to the crime.
One witness previously quoted him as saying: "I'm going to get away with murder, because I'm a Kennedy."
The Kennedys were one of the most prominent families in 20th Century US politics.
Joseph Kennedy was US ambassador to Britain under President Franklin Roosevelt. His son John Kennedy was president 1961-63, and his other sons Robert and Edward were senators.

The Conservative leader told the BBC the idea of SNP influence over a Labour PM was a "frightening prospect".
But Ms Sturgeon said the SNP "want to be constructive, to get better politics coming out of the Westminster system".
Labour's Ed Balls said the Tories and SNP wanted each other to do well. "They are in bed together," he told Sky News.
The possible role of the SNP in a post-election government has been one of the key issues in the campaign so far.
Labour has rejected the idea of a coalition or deal with the SNP - who are threatening to take a swathe of seats from them in Scotland, if opinion polls turn out to be accurate.
But the Conservatives have demanded that Labour also rule out any prospect of operating as a minority government and relying on SNP support on a vote-by-vote basis.
The SNP have said that they would seek to prevent a Conservative government and would seek to ensure any Labour government was "progressive".
SNP deputy leader Stewart Hosie told the BBC's Sunday Politics the party would vote against "cuts that we didn't like", highlighting the SNP's opposition to the Trident nuclear weapons system.
In the absence of a five-year deal, he said: "There would be no deal so we would be perfectly at liberty to table amendments to Budgets and legislation, vote against or table amendments to estimates, perfectly sensible."
Earlier on the Andrew Marr Show, Mr Cameron said: "The SNP is a party that doesn't want to come to Westminster to contribute to a government; it wants to come to Westminster to break up our country.
"When you have a group of Nationalists that want to be involved with the government of a country which they don't want to belong to you have to ask yourself if you're a voter in England, or Wales, or Northern Ireland would these people care at all about what happens in my life and my constituency? The answer is 'no'."
Ms Sturgeon rejected the view the SNP would attempt to cause disruption at Westminster to further its goal of independence - while also ruling out any deal with the Conservatives.
She said: "There is an opportunity to build progressive alliances for progressive policies. It is a real rather than a pretend alternative to austerity."
Ms Sturgeon added: "We want to be constructive, to get better politics coming out of the Westminster system.
"As long as Scotland remains part of the Westminster system, it matters to people that we get good decisions out of that system, and I want the SNP to play a positive part in improving politics at Westminster for people right across the UK."
Former SNP leader Alex Salmond said his party had received "thousands of applications from people in England who want to join the SNP" following Ms Sturgeon's performance in the leaders' debates. He said audiences "seemed quite enamoured by the prospect of Nicola Sturgeon's politics having an influence in the House of Commons".
"You have really got to divide the attitudes of the Westminster political establishment from the people of England. The people of England don't think like Westminster politicians," he said.
For Labour, shadow chancellor Ed Balls told Sky the focus on the SNP was a sign of Mr Cameron's "faltering campaign".
"He has nothing to say about a better Britain for working families, so he's talking up the SNP as his last best hope of clinging to power."
Mr Balls said he could say "unambiguously" there would be no coalition between Labour and the SNP.
"Our principle is very clear - the SNP exist - unlike the Lib Dems or, to be fair, UKIP - as a political party to break up the United Kingdom. That's their raison d'etre... I can say to you unambiguously that we're not going to start getting involved in coalitions or deals with a political party that wants to break up the United Kingdom."
He questioned whether Mr Cameron would say the same, adding: "He would love to do a deal with the SNP... the reality is the SNP want the Tories in and the Tories want the SNP to do well. They're in bed together."
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, meanwhile, issued a direct challenge to Mr Cameron to publicly rule out a post-election alliance with UKIP, telling him not to treat voters as if they were "stupid" by maintaining the Tories were on course to a majority.
"I have ruled out an alliance with the SNP, I have ruled out an alliance with UKIP, why won't you do the same?" he said.

Mae'r newidiau yn rhan o gynnig gan Tata i gadw'r busnes ar agor, ond gydag amodau pensiwn llai hael.
O dan y cynllun, bydd Tata hefyd yn buddsoddi £1bn yng ngwaith dur Port Talbot, a bydd dim diswyddiadau gorfodol.
Fe benderfynodd bron i dri chwarter aelodau undebau Community, GMB ac Unite dderbyn y cynllun.
Mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi croesawu'r penderfyniad, gan ddweud bod angen "cydweithio i wireddu'r cynlluniau".
"Mae'r faith iddyn nhw weithio mewn ffordd mor adeiladol gyda'r perchnogion i sicrhau dyfodol y gwaith yn arwydd o ymrwymiad y gweithlu," meddai llefarydd.
"Bydd y llywodraeth yn chwarae ei rhan i gefnogi'r diwydiant dur i greu dyfodol cynaliadwy".
Fe ddywedodd Prif Weinidog Cymru, Carwyn Jones, bod y bleidlais wedi bod yn "benderfyniad anodd" i'r gweithwyr, ond bod y canlyniad yn "gam ymlaen".
"Byddwn yn parhau i weithio'n agos gyda Tata i weithredu ein pecyn cefnogaeth ariannol sylweddol, i sicrhau swyddi a gwaith chynhyrchu ar holl safleoedd Tata yng Nghymru," meddai.
Ychwanegodd ei fod yn galw eto ar Lywodraeth y DU i "daclo costau ynni mawr y DU".
Fe ddywedodd llefarydd Plaid Cymru ar ddur, Bethan Jenkins, bod y cytundeb yn "aberth" ar ran gweithlu heddiw ar gyfer gweithwyr y dyfodol.
"Does dim amheuaeth bod y pecyn o newidiadau a gyflwynwyd yn sobr, ac roedd rhaid iddyn nhw ddewis rhwng eu swydd a'u pensiwn," meddai.
"Dyma'r amser i lywodraethau Cymru a'r DU i gamu lan a dangos eu hymrwymiad i weithwyr dur a'r diwydiant. Byddai hynny'n cynnwys gweithredu ar gostau ynni, buddsoddi mewn pwerdy lleol a chanolfan ddatblygu ac ymchwil dur."
Dywedodd AC Aberafan, y Llafurwr David Rees, bod y gweithlu wedi "rhoi ymrywmiad i'r diwydiant dur yma yng Nghymru cyn eu budd personol".
"Nawr mae'n rhaid i Tata ddangos ymrwymiad tebyg drwy gadw i'w haddewidion i fuddsoddi, oedd yn rhan o'r cynllun.
"Dwi wedi gofyn i Lywodraeth Cymru i ddangos ei hymrwymiad i gefnogi cynhyrchu dur a pharhau i weithio gyda Tata ar brosiectau buddsoddi fydd yn gwneud cynhyrchu dur yn fwy cynalidawy a hyfyw."
Fis Mawrth 2016, fe gyhoeddodd rheolwyr Tata eu bod yn bwriadu gwerthu'r busnes ym Mhrydain oherwydd pryderon eu bod yn gwneud colledion.
Ond wedi trafodaethau gyda gwleidyddion ac undebau, fe gyhoeddodd y cwmni eu bod yn gweithio ar gynllun i gadw'r busnes, ond y byddai hynny'n golygu newidiadau.
Mae'r cynlluniau newydd yn golygu na fydd cyfanswm Tata at y pensiwn yn fwy na 10%, ac ni fydd hawl gan y gweithwyr gyfrannu mwy na 6%.
Mae BBC Cymru yn deall hefyd y gallai cyfraniad pensiwn o hyd at £10,000 gael ei gynnig i weithwyr Tata sydd dros 50 oed ac yn bwriadu ymddeol yn gynnar. | Mae gweithwyr dur Tata wedi pleidleisio i dderbyn newidiadau i'w cynlluniau pensiwn. | 38,973,699 | 1,755 | 52 | false |
The boxer joins her on the track Iconic alongside Chance The Rapper with Nas and Nicki Minaj appearing on two other songs.
Rebel Heart was recorded in London, LA and New York and will be released on 10 March via Interscope.
Madonna has produced some of the tracks herself and has drafted in some of the biggest names in the business to work on other tunes.
Kanye West worked on the track Illuminati and Diplo was behind three tunes.
Billboard, DJ Dahi and Blood Diamonds also made music for some of the 19 tracks on the album.
Madonna was forced to release some of the tracks early before Christmas because of a leak.
One of them, Living For Love, went to number one in more than 40 countries on iTunes.
She said at the time that she was annoyed that people had leaked demos of 10 of her tracks.
"It's just the age that we're living in. It's crazy times," she said.
"The internet is as constructive and helpful in bringing people together as it is in doing dangerous things and hurting people. It's a double-edged sword."
When the leak happened she told Billboard magazine that her new music was a cross between house and soul.
"It's kind of like the old me and the new me all mixed in together," she said.

Work includes improving disabled access, baby changing facilities and new customer interview spaces.
Opponents say the work is inappropriate when the council is closing public toilets and increasing parking charges.
The council, which supports a merger with Bournemouth and Christchurch, said the upgrade was "much needed".
Dorset's nine councils are considering a major reorganisation that would leave just two unitary authorities in the county.
But the Conservative-led Borough of Poole said the civic centre had not been updated or refurbished since its opening 30 years ago.
Lib Dem councillor Mike Brook said: "They are wanting to spend on a building that they may not even have in between two and four years time and yet they are demanding cuts from the public, they are closing toilets, they are hiking up the car parking charges and just grabbing money and not really considering the long-term impacts of what they are doing."
Poole resident and campaigner Bob Lister said: "How can you spend £31,000 on furniture for a foyer? The costs are astronomical for what's required. It just needs a lick of paint and a slight update.
"There is already disabled access. It's just a waste of money on a building which is going to be closed in two to four years time."
A spokesman for Borough of Poole said the work would "improve the customer journey for all visitors".
A statement said: "Many people who use the customer inquiry centre are in a vulnerable position and this much-needed refurbishment will help to create a space that is comfortable and unintimidating, helping those in need achieve the best possible start to their process.
"More than half the cost for this proposal is drawn from existing budgets and all new facilities implemented will ensure that Borough of Poole finance reception is accessible for all users for the foreseeable future."

The British team - Claudia Fragapane, Becky Downie, Ellie Downie, Ruby Harrold and Amy Tinkler - had high hopes of finishing on the podium after winning bronze at last year's World Championships in Glasgow.
But, after finishing fourth in qualifying on Monday, they had to settle for a place lower in Rio's Olympic Arena.
The US were the hot favourites in Rio after winning the past three world crowns - in 2011, 2014 and 2015 - in addition to their success in London four years ago.
And the quintet of 19-year-old Biles, Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez showed why by producing a dominant display from the very start.
Biles, who has dominated the sport since making her senior debut in 2013, is trying to become the first gymnast to win five medals at a single Olympic Games.
So it was fitting that the 4ft 9in gymnast sealed her nation's victory with an almost flawless floor performance to close the event.
The US are the first women's team to win back-to-back Olympic golds since Romania in 2000 and 2004.
Britain made an encouraging start on the uneven bars, ending the first rotation in third place, but slipped to fifth at the halfway stage after Ellie Downie fell off the beam.
They were unable to improve on that position after the floor exercise, despite producing a performance only bettered by the Americans.
Downie impressed in the vault - the final rotation - but it was not enough to lift GB into contention.
Christine Still, BBC Sport gymnastics expert and veteran coach:
"The British have performed fantastically well. There have been a few ups and downs in the championships but they have not let it affect them.
"They have carried on fighting right through and gave a great performance today.
"What a fantastic final, some great gymnastics going on. This has been truly great.
"USA did not disappoint and there will be talk if this is the greatest team ever."
Becky Downie: "This is one of the strongest teams we have ever put out, we could not have done more and nobody should be disappointed."
Ellie Downie: "We put everything we could into this competition. We went out there and enjoyed it, but we did not get the scores we wanted on some of the apparatus. We wanted that team medal but we did all we can so we're really proud."
Claudia Fragapane: "I am happy to have gone out there and enjoyed the competition. These girls made it fun and we gave it our all."

The win will boost its Oscar chances, as the Producers Guild of America (PGA) has predicted the winner of the best picture Oscar for the past eight years.
Some bookmakers have already made Adam McKay's film favourite to be named best picture at next month's Academy Awards.
Inside Out and Amy picked up the PGA's prizes for best animated film and best documentary.
The Big Short's Oscar chances appeared to have dwindled after the film failed to be honoured in the best picture categories at both the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice awards.
Yet its unexpected triumph over such Oscar-tipped titles as Spotlight, The Martian and The Revenant has now turned it into an Oscar front-runner.
Bookmaker William Hill has seen a huge rush to back The Big Short for Oscar glory and has slashed its odds from 10/1 to 5/4 accordingly.
"We think this is the biggest move in 30-odd years of Oscar betting," said a William Hill spokesman.
Released in the UK this weekend, The Big Short sees Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling play brokers who make millions betting that the US housing market will collapse.
The film is up for five Oscars in total, among them best director, best supporting actor (Bale) and best adapted screenplay.
Collecting the Darryl F Zanuck award for outstanding producer of theatrical motion pictures on Saturday, producer Dede Gardner made reference to the diversity row that has been the talk of Hollywood of late.
"Yes, we have a real problem. We do. We do," she told the audience at the Los Angeles ceremony.
"We have privilege in our hands. We are storytellers. We need to tell stories that reflect our world and our country."
Gardner was honoured alongside her co-producers Jeremy Kleiner and Brad Pitt. The latter, who also appears in the film, did not attend.
Fargo, Transparent and Game of Thrones were among the television programmes honoured at the event, held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles' Century City district.
Entertainment was provided by Lady Gaga, who performed her Oscar-nominated song Til It Happens To You to an audience that included Ridley Scott, Gary Oldman and actress Amanda Seyfried.
Birdman, last year's recipient of the PGA's top prize, went on the win best picture at the 2015 Academy Awards.
A large number of the PGA's 7,000 members are also Oscar voters, prompting many to see its annual awards as a significant indicator of how the Oscar chips will fall.
The latest world rankings published saw Wales ranked in eighth position and inside the required top 12 position for Gold Coast qualification.
All the home nations have qualified with England ranked third, Northern Ireland 10th and Scotland squeezing in as 12th.
The Commonwealth Games will be held between April 4-15.
Poland's leaders have played down the danger, repeatedly reassuring the public.
During an event to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Poland joining Nato on Monday, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he saw no direct threat to his country, a view echoed by Poland's President Bronislaw Komorowski.
But there is a widespread sense of insecurity in Poland. In an opinion poll last week, 59% of respondents believed Russia's foreign policy presented a threat to Poland's security.
"I feel threatened by Russia because we're next. Ukraine is first, then the Baltic countries and then (Russia's President) Putin will make something bad here," Michal, a 30 year-old librarian told me.
"Now they want to attack Ukraine but we are neighbours so I don't think Poland is safe, especially because we have a shared history with Russia and they were always aggressors," Dominika Ziolka, a horse-riding instructor said.
This is not to say most Poles fear Russia is about to launch a military attack on them soon. But their shared history has generated widespread mistrust of Russia among Poles.
In the 18th Century Catherine the Great annexed eastern Poland. The country did not regain its independence until the end of World War One. After just two decades of freedom the Soviet Union invaded eastern Poland two weeks after Nazi Germany marched into western Poland in 1939.
The Red Army liberated Poland from the Nazis in 1945 and Joseph Stalin installed a Soviet-backed communist system in the country. The last Soviet troops left Poland in 1993.
"I think there is a sense that certain boundaries have been crossed, that precedents have been created and because of that it's not clear where Putin is going to stop," Marcin Zaborowski, director of the Polish Institute of International Affairs told the BBC.
"This clearly unprovoked aggression against another state is in breach of international law. It doesn't seem wise to hang on to the belief Putin's not going to go further," he added.
Poland's insecurity over Russia is shared by the Baltic countries, which were incorporated into the Soviet Union after World War Two.
Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite warned last week that Russia was trying to redraw the post-war map of Europe. Ukraine was first, she said. Moldova, the Baltics and Poland would be next.
Estonia and Latvia also have large Russian minorities, which is of concern considering Vladimir Putin's justification for occupying Crimea has been to protect ethnic Russians there.
While some have seen parallels with Hitler's justification for his annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia in 1938, Poland's foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski has warned against such comparisons.
"The people of Poland and the peoples of the Soviet Union paid a horrible price in the 20th Century, for a war that started on the pretext of protecting national minorities. I hope we have all learned lessons from how dangerous it is. But historical parallels are always dangerous," he said during a visit to London on Monday.
The US has announced it is beefing up its military cooperation with Poland and the Baltic states. It is sending six more F-15 fighters and a KC-135 refuelling tanker to increase its support for Nato's patrolling of Baltic airspace.
About 300 US air force personnel and 12 US F-16 fighters are to be deployed in Poland for a joint training exercise, a significant boost to the 10 US airmen who are already stationed in the country.
The response is not just focusing on the military.
"Our prime minister and president have said we have to work more intensely towards energy independence. Energy is vital because the threat is not just of a military nature, it's also about turning the gas taps off," Mr Zaborowski said.
Countries like Poland have already experienced a switch-off. Much of Russia's gas supplies to Europe transits Ukraine on its way west. In 2009 a price dispute between Ukraine and Russia halted supplies to many European countries.
The Baltic countries and Poland remain dependent on Russian gas. Last year Poland imported 60% of the gas consumed by industry and households from Russian gas company Gazprom.
After years of saying it should and not doing much about it, Poland is now diversifying its gas sources.
It will complete construction of a liquefied natural gas terminal to import gas from Qatar by the end of the year. It has also increased the capacity of interconnector pipelines with Germany and the Czech Republic to boost supplies from those markets.
And it hopes to start producing its own shale gas in the future.
Central and Eastern Europe's dependence on Russian gas gives Mr Putin too much leverage, Mr Tusk said Monday. He said he would speak to German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Warsaw on Wednesday about the political threats arising from this dependence.
"Germany's reliance on Russian gas can effectively limit European sovereignty, I have no doubt," he said.
Campaign group ukactive says the UK faces a "ticking time bomb" of health problems due to lack of exercise.
Its report says only half of seven-year-olds in England are active for an hour a day, and says more activity should take place in the classroom.
The government says it has increased funding for PE, and that primary schools offer two hours of it per week.
In the "Generation Inactive" report, researchers argue that Body Mass Index (BMI), which measures weight and height, gives little indication of a child's physical fitness and says a child can be slim but still unhealthy.
"We should focus on the health of our hearts, not just the size of our waists," say the authors.
They argue that the way to improve a child's fitness is to incorporate exercise throughout the school day. Walking to school and standing in lessons are ways in which a child's inactivity can be improved.
Former children's commissioner Prof Sir Al Aynsley-Green said: "Whether walking, cycling or being active in and out of PE lessons, providing children with opportunities to be active throughout the day, before, during and after school, is key to engaging even the most disengaged children."
Teachers at the Montpelier school in Ealing, west London, use "engaging" methods to keep children active in lessons, says the report.
For example, in English lessons, children use "Kung Fu-style hand movements" to explain to the teacher where an exclamation or full stop should go, rather than putting up their hands or shouting out.
The school's head teacher says behaviour at lunchtime has been improved by the increased activity in the classroom.
Lady Grey-Thompson, ukactive's chairwoman and paralympian, said: "The current national ambition focused solely around PE lessons is simply not bold enough. We should aim higher and demand more."
A government spokesman said: "Tackling obesity is a major priority for this government, which is why as part of our plan for education, we want to continue to encourage children to enjoy sports - both in lessons and after school."
Lennon left Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday with his side sitting bottom of the English Championship.
It came amid continued speculation about Deila's future at Celtic Park.
"If Celtic do change their manager, I think Neil Lennon would certainly be a possibility," said McCoist. "He did an exceptional job at Celtic."
Lennon was Celtic manager from 2010-14, winning the Scottish title three times, and duelling with McCoist during the latter's first season in charge at Ibrox.
Celtic won the title after Rangers squandered a 15-point lead amid a financial crisis that led to them playing in Scotland's bottom tier the following season.
Lennon has experienced a similar scenario at Bolton, the 44-year-old's departure by "mutual consent" coming five days after the Sports Shield consortium completed a takeover of the club that has been close to administration.
"I for one could sympathise and understand what Neil Lennon's been going through more than most in terms of his managerial job in the last year or so," McCoist told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Our own club went into administration then liquidation. You get players turning up and they don't know if they're going to get paid.
"There are restrictions on you all over the place. It is an extremely difficult job."
Despite his side continuing to lead the Scottish Premiership, Deila has come under pressure, especially after his side's poor results in Europe this season, their defeat by Ross County in the semi-final of the League Cup and Aberdeen narrowing the gap to one point at the top of the table.
Former Celtic players David Moyes, the former Everton and Manchester United boss recently sacked by Real Sociedad, and Malky Mackay, the former Watford, Cardiff City and Wigan Athletic manager, have both been linked with the job with the reigning champions.
However, former Northern Ireland and Celtic midfielder Lennon has now been made favourite by some bookmakers to succeed Deila.
"Now that he has moved on, is there a possibility he could go back to Celtic? I would have to say yes," said McCoist.
"The current manager at Celtic is a man I have a great deal of sympathy for because, no matter what he does, it is probably not going to be enough.
"Scottish football for the last three or four years has been in an absolutely bizarre situation when nobody really knows what's good and what's bad and what's indifferent."
McCoist thinks the Norwegian is the victim of a lack of real competition at the top of the Scottish game.
"Both cups are held by teams in the Highlands," he said of County's victory in Sunday's League Cup final, which followed last season's lifting of the Scottish Cup by neighbours Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
"It is a fairytale story, but it does tell you more about the lack of strength among the big guns than anything else.
"For us as a country to have three of our biggest clubs out the top division last season, I don't think we are a strong enough footballing nation to have that.
"And the sooner Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen are back in the top flight together the better."
Mr Obama said the officers would not be going home to their loved ones "and for that, there is no justification".
The two were killed while on patrol in Brooklyn. New York's police chief says they were "targeted for their uniform".
The gunman had posted anti-police messages online, amid continuing tensions over police tactics.
In a separate development, officials said a police officer was shot and killed in Florida early on Sunday.
They said a suspect was taken into custody, and more details would be unveiled at a news conference later in the day.
In a statement, President Obama said: "I unconditionally condemn today's murder of two police officers in New York City."
"Officers who serve and protect our communities risk their own safety for ours every single day and they deserve our respect and gratitude every single day," said Mr Obama, who is on holiday in Hawaii.
The gunman - named as Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28 - was a black man while the two officers, Liu Wenjin and Raphael Ramos, were Asian and Hispanic respectively.
Before shooting them, Brinsley suggested on social media that he was planning to kill police in retaliation for the death of Eric Garner, a black man who died when white officers tried to arrest him for selling cigarettes in New York.
Earlier this month, a grand jury decided not to indict an officer over his death. Last month, another grand jury also cleared a white officer in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, in Ferguson, Missouri.
Both decisions triggered nationwide protests.
Commenting on Saturday's incident, New York City police commissioner Bill Bratton said the two officers had been shot at point blank range in their patrol car, with "no provocation".
"They were, quite simply, assassinated - targeted for their uniform and for the responsibility they embraced to keep the people of this city safe," Mr Bratton said.
After the shooting in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area, the gunman ran into a subway station where he killed himself as police closed in.
Mr Bratton also said Brinsley had wounded a former girlfriend earlier on Saturday in Baltimore, Maryland, and had made posts from her Instagram account.
"This may be my final post," said one that included an image of a silver handgun.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said anyone seeing postings indicating a threat to the police should report them.
The last fatal shooting of a New York police officer was in 2011.
The New York Times newspaper says Saturday's killing seemed to deepen a rift between Mr de Blasio and some rank-and-file officers who they regard as not supportive enough in the face of protests.
Video footage showed some officers turning their backs on the mayor as he walked into his news conference.
Patrick Lynch, who heads a leading police officers union, said: "There's blood on many hands tonight - those that incited violence on the street under the guise of protests", adding that "blood on the hands starts on the steps of City Hall, in the office of the mayor".
The Rev Al Sharpton, a prominent civil rights activist, said Mr Garner's family had had no connection to the gunman and he denounced the killing.
"Any use of the names of Eric Garner and Michael Brown in connection with any violence or killing of police, is reprehensible and against the pursuit of justice in both cases," Rev Sharpton said.
It uses similar hardware to the firm's earlier Shine - which was already waterproof - but adds new algorithms to its firmware, which were developed with sportswear-maker Speedo.
Garmin, TomTom and Timex are among firms that already sell watches that can count swimming laps.
But the Speedo Shine stands out from the other "mainstream" activity trackers in offering the facility.
Industry leader Fitbit warns that its current line-up of devices are not designed to "withstand the force associated with swimming strokes," while Jawbone had originally marketed its Up3 wristband as being suitable for the pool but had to announce a U-turn after it failed to make them as water resistant as hoped.
California-based Misfit claims its own tests suggest its algorithms provide "industry-leading accuracy" at counting laps and swimming distance.
However, the Speedo Shine cannot count the individual number of strokes or identify stroke types, which some of the more expensive swimming watches can do.
"Swimming has come late to wearable tech, partly because it's not as popular an activity as running," commented Ben Wood from the tech consultancy CCS Insight.
"But this is a good brand partnership and for Misfit it's a good way to keep its product fresh and broaden its appeal to new users."
Like earlier models of the Shine, the new device can also track steps, overall calorie burn and sleep states.
Because Misfit is a private company, it does not publicly reveal its earnings.
However, the firm recently told the South China Morning Post newspaper that it had shipped more than two million trackers over the past 18 months and was outselling Fitbit in China.
The Speedo Shine will cost $80 in the US and £60 in the UK when it is launched next month.
Mr Gulen, a former ally of the prime minister, has been accused by Mr Erdogan of using his supporters to try to topple him.
The cleric denies mounting a campaign against him.
Turkey's government has faced a string of corruption scandals and rights groups accuse it of authoritarianism.
Speaking at parliament after meeting with deputies from his Justice and Development Party (AKP) party on Tuesday, Mr Erdogan confirmed the extradition process "will begin", reports say.
The Turkish PM was speaking hours after an interview with US broadcaster PBS, in which he said he hoped the US would deport Mr Gulen and send him back to Turkey.
It was his first interview with foreign media since his party claimed victory in local elections last month.
Gulen: Powerful but reclusive
Profile: Hizmet movement
In the interview, Mr Erdogan said he hoped Washington, as a "model partner", would deliver on the issue.
"At least they should deport him," he added.
Mr Gulen, 74, has lived in self-imposed exile in the US state of Pennsylvania since 1997.
He has many supporters in the police and judiciary, and has denounced moves to shut down an investigation into corruption allegations levelled against several of the prime minister's allies.
His teachings have inspired the Hizmet ("Service") movement, which is believed to have millions of followers spread across over 150 countries.
Hizmet promotes a tolerant form of Islam, emphasising education, altruism and hard work.
Mr Erdogan has accused the movement of being behind a series of wiretaps and social media leaks allegedly exposing major corruption of figures with ties to the government.
Thousands of alleged Hizmet sympathisers in the police and judiciary have since been demoted or reassigned to other jobs.
Over the past year, Turkey has been convulsed by mass protests against Mr Erdogan's ten-year rule and the corruption allegations.
A statement by the current chair of the Kimberley Process - the industry's main certification system - appears to allow exports to resume.
However, the US, the EU and other groups signed up to the process insist that no consensus had been reached at a meeting in Kinshasa.
All Kimberley decisions are supposed to be consensus-based.
The Kimberley Process (KP) is an international initiative set up to stem the flow of "blood diamonds" - rough diamonds used by rebel movements to finance wars against legitimate governments.
All diamond exports by Zimbabwe were suspended in 2009 after allegations of widespread abuses and killings by the security forces at the Marange mines.
Following the Kimberley meeting in Kinshasa, Mathieu Yamba of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which holds Kimberley's rotating chair, issued a statement that said exports from Marange could go ahead.
He later issued an explanatory note saying he had approved what he called "a compromise document stating the essential views expressed by each and everyone".
"Thus, on the basis of this document, Zimbabwe will continue exports," he said.
He told AFP news agency: "We have decided to lift the measure which prevented Zimbabwe from exporting its diamonds in the Mbada and Kanadai mines in the Marange region."
African countries, China and India are reported to have supported the decision but it was opposed by Western nations, human rights groups and industry.
Zimbabwe Mines Minister Obert Mpofu told the state-run Herald newspaper in Harare that "a breakthrough" had been achieved.
"We want to be treated like any other country. I'm going to sell our diamonds now," he told Reuters news agency.
Outrage at the decision prompted representatives of rights groups and resources watchdogs to walk out of the meeting before the final statement. They said the values of the organisation were being undermined.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a statement that "the text circulated by the KP chair was not agreed by consensus and is not therefore valid under KP rules and procedures".
US state department spokesman Victoria Nuland said that Washington was "deeply disappointed" by the outcome of the Kinshasa meeting.
"Contrary to some reporting, the Kinshasa Intersessional did not reach a consensus text. The chair has circulated a text to participants which did not attract consensus," she said in a statement.
"We believe that work toward a solution must continue, and that until consensus is reached, exports from Marange should not proceed."
UK Minister for Africa Henry Bellingham said Britain was "deeply concerned" by the Kimberley statement.
US-based diamond group Rapaport Trade quickly advised its members not to trade in Marange gems.
"Marange goods (are) expected to be released shortly," Rapaport said in an advisory to members.
"Responsible buyers should require supplier guarantee that they are not selling these diamonds to them."
The Marange fields have been called the richest diamond find of the decade.
Human rights groups say local people have been forced to work in the diamond fields, smuggling is rife and some mines in Marange are controlled by Zimbabwe's military, who channel some of the funds to President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party.
The Zimbabwean authorities deny the accusations.

Conte's side beat Tottenham 2-1 at Stamford Bridge to record their seventh consecutive league victory.
The win consolidated Chelsea's position at the top of the table.
"I think now we are not the same team, now we are another team. We have another type of confidence. It's important to stay humble," Conte said.
"When you win a special derby, you must be happy. We have to continue to work."
Chelsea's performance against Spurs was a stark contrast to defeats suffered against Liverpool and Arsenal, which caused them to slip as low as eighth place in September.
Conte's side have not lost in the Premier League since he switched to a 3-4-3 system, although the Italian said it was premature to discuss them as potential champions.
"It's too early to talk of the title. This league is very tough," Conte said.
"Tottenham showed in this league there are six or seven teams that can win the title."

Match-winner Victor Moses said he was happy Conte had given him the chance to prove himself.
The 25-year-old has had loans spells at Liverpool, Stoke and West Ham since joining Chelsea in 2012, but is playing regularly this season under the Italian's guidance.
"I am very pleased with the goal but the most important thing is the three points," said the Nigerian.
"I feel like I have found a home here. It's my club. I'm pleased the manager has given me a chance to express myself. I just want to keep playing my football and we are very happy with win today."
Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois also praised Conte, adding: "We found strength inside the team and the changes of the manager helped us win the game. He's like that every session. When we do tactics, he's very passionate and demands. He keeps the team sharp."
The 40-year-old man was arrested at Sydney Airport on Thursday after arriving on a plane from London.
The alleged threats were made on social media, said Acting Deputy Commissioner Frank Mennilli.
Police also raided a house and a storage facility in Sydney, seizing documents and computer hard drives.
There was no remaining threat to the community, police said. However, they would not provide details of the alleged threats while the matter was before the court.
The arrest comes a week after police said they foiled a major terror attack planned for Melbourne on Christmas Day.
Mr Mennilli said the man did not have links to any groups.
"He has been charged with a crimes act offence, not a terrorist offence," he added.
More than one million people are expected to attend Sydney's annual New Year's Eve fireworks party on the harbour.
Officers from the NSW Police Force Terrorism Investigation Squad made the arrest after a tip-off from the public.
Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn said police believed it was an isolated incident.
"As a consequence, we are confident that there are no current or specific threats to New Year's Eve and, while we ask people to remain vigilant, people should enjoy the celebrations," she said in a statement.
"The community should be also reassured that we will take swift action to ensure the ongoing safety of the public."

Blues flanker Warburton returns after missing the opening autumn series game against Australia.
Prop Jenkins will break the world record for test appearances by a front row forward and retains the captaincy.
"[Coach] Rob Howley said he was going to stick with Gethin and thought it was important I focussed on my role, which I completely agree with," he said.
"It is a big task being captain. To come back and do that would have been more difficult than just to come back and concentrate on my role at six.
"I'll still try to influence the players during the week and during the game but it's nice for me that I can just focus on the blindside and making sure we improve from last week."
Warburton played 80 minutes for the Blues against Treviso on the eve of Wales' 32-8 defeat by Australia as he came back from shoulder and neck injuries.
Howley has made six changes to the team beaten by Australia, dropping centre Jamie Roberts to the bench for the first time since March 2009 and retaining Jenkins as captain in his 133rd Test match.
Warburton will play on the blindside of the scrum with Ospreys' Justin Tipuric wearing the number seven jersey.
It's a combination which worked in the 2013 Six Nations decider against England when Wales were captained by Gethin Jenkins and won 30-3.
"I've always enjoyed playing with Justin," said Warburton.
"We do it at the Blues with Ellis Jenkins and myself there. It's a tactical decision and it's more attacking, you get two people who are aggressive over the ball and it's someone to back me up in the contact area.
"I enjoy that combination and I'm looking forward to see how it goes on Saturday."
Warburton has captained Wales 48 times - 15 times more than next-highest captain Ryan Jones.
He was also captain of the 2013 British and Irish Lions but said Jenkins' commitment, tactical knowledge and experience make him ideally qualified to lead the team.
"When it comes to naming the best players I've played with Gethin will definitely be up there," he said.
"He's in the top category of Wales' greatest players.
"Two or three years ago people were saying he was slowing down but I haven't seen him slowing down at all. In training or in games."
Jenkins will be making his 133rd Test appearance - 128 for Wales and five for the Lions - to take him past the 133 Tests of ex-New Zealand hooker Keven Mealamu.

Howley said Wales' defensive frailties against Australia played a big part in the decision to drop Jamie Roberts - Wales' defence captain - to the bench against the Pumas.
Warburton said it was a reminder to all the players about the importance of maintaining their performance.
"One thing you definitely can't have in international rugby is complacency. I don't think any of the players are and Rob's just reminded everybody that that's the case," he added.
"I've always known that every game I take the field for Wales you have to put in a good performance or run the risk of not being there next weekend.
"I don't think Jamie should have the finger pointed at him. Scott Williams is a fantastic player and has played exceptionally well for many years.
"For me you could pick Jamie, Jon [Davies] Scott or any combination between the three of them and it wouldn't bother me.
"It's good that we have these decisions to make. Take a look at the back row, Dan Lydiate's missed out because James King's been playing fantastically well for the Ospreys and we still haven't got Toby [Faletau] fit.
"They're good problems to have. I'd rather be having these conversations than not."
The Brandalism campaign said it was behind the unauthorised artworks.
It said in a statement the aim was to "highlight the links between advertising, consumerism, fossil fuel dependency and climate change".
The action comes as demonstrations take place around the world to demand action to stop climate change.
Prominent corporate sponsors of the talks have been targeted by the posters, which say that they are "part of the problem".
Several others feature world leaders, nearly 150 of whom are due to attend the Paris talks.
George Jones put Cornwall ahead from a driving maul and Matt Shepherd kicked a penalty to earn an 8-0 half-time lead.
Ten minutes after the break, Anthony Bingham ran from the halfway line to go over and give Lancashire a lifeline.
Tom Burtonwood and Scott Armstrong crossed shortly afterwards to secure Lancashire the title.
Victory meant they have been champions in six of the past nine years, while Cornwall have now been beaten by their opponents in three finals since 2013.
It also denied Cornwall head coach Graham Dawe, a former England international, a third successive County Championship triumph after wins over Cheshire and Lancashire in the past two competitions.
Oxford resident Larry Sanders voted as Democrats Abroad opened a city polling station on so-called Super Tuesday.
Democrats Abroad is treated as a state, offering Americans overseas a vote in the Democratic presidential race.
UK polling booths also opened in London, Cambridge, Edinburgh and St Andrews until March 8.
Larry Sanders, who ran for the Green Party in the 2015 general election, said: "It is a great moment of pride.
"I am voting for my younger brother to be President."
Larry Sanders is a retired social worker and academic.
His brother Bernie is battling Hillary Clinton for the Democratic party's nomination to stand as the presidential candidate in the US election in November.
Larry Sanders, who cast his vote at the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford, said: "I think it is going to be a very, very close election and these delegates could make a difference.
"It is enormous; it is not just an election for president but it is at a critical time in modern world history.
"Bernard's positions are very important, so I am voting for someone who could make a huge difference for the world.
"And he's my brother."
The brothers grew up in Brooklyn in New York and Larry moved to the UK in the 1960s.
Republican voters can only participate via individual absentee ballots.

Sidra Ameen scored an unbeaten 53 and Bismah Maroof 43 to seal a victory that leaves their side third in Group B, behind leaders England who beat second-placed West Indies by one wicket in Dharamsala.
Pakistan can still reach the semi-finals if they beat England on Saturday.
In Delhi, Sri Lanka won the toss and were well set 75-1 in the 11th over as Dilani Manodara and Chamari Atapattu both scored 38 before Australia took 7-43 to slow the scoring rate.
The Southern Stars, now second in Group A behind New Zealand, face Ireland in Delhi on Saturday.
They will definitely reach the semi-finals if they beat Ireland and South Africa fail to win their last two matches.

Melanie Road, 17, was attacked as she made her way home from a nightclub in Bath in June 1984.
Christopher Hampton, who changed his plea to guilty as his murder trial was due to begin at Bristol Crown Court, must serve a minimum term of 22 years.
Hampton, 64, was caught in 2015 after police linked DNA from Melanie's clothing to his daughter.
She had been arrested aged 41 in 2014 for a "minor incident" and her DNA profile was taken, leading the police to her father.
Sentencing Hampton, Mr Justice Popplewell told him the attack had been "lengthy and brutal" and "for your own sexual gratification".
"She was repeatedly stabbed - 26 times in all - with a sharp-edged knife, causing four-inch wounds.
"Eight of the wounds were to her breasts.
"You first stabbed her while she was on her feet on the street on her way home, before chasing her some 30 metres round the corner to the cul-de-sac where she died."
Following the attack, Hampton married his second wife and had a daughter, Amy, and stepson Darren with her.
"You married and had a child and lived your family life for all those years knowing the extreme misery you must have inflicted on your victim's family but you were too callous and cowardly to put an end to their heartache," the judge told Hampton.
"You will very likely die in prison."
On the night of her death, Melanie had gone out with her boyfriend and friends to the Beau Nash, a nightclub in Kingston Parade.
She left the club in the early hours of 9 June and was last seen alive by her friends a short time later in Broad Street.
A milkman found her body, which was lying in a pool of blood.
Kate Brunner QC told the court that Hampton, from Fishponds in Bristol, subjected Melanie to a "vicious and sustained" sexual assault then partially redressed her, possibly after she had died.
Three decades a later, a familial match was identified between Hampton's daughter's DNA and the DNA taken from Melanie's body and clothing.
"As a result, her father Christopher Hampton was asked for, and gave, a voluntary mouth swab," Ms Brunner said.
"Christopher Hampton's DNA was found to match the DNA from semen staining from the fly and crotch of Melanie Road's trousers."
Melanie's mother Jean said when she first saw Hampton in court she thought he was "a monster".
"I then realised his wife and daughter were sitting behind me - both with blonde hair like Melanie," said Mrs Road.
"It hurts beyond repair - how can he do that to somebody and then live with people and with them not knowing?"
In a witness impact statement, Melanie's older sister Karen told the court: "You would think that nothing could be worse then being told that your little sister has been sexually attacked and brutally murdered… what is worse is no-one being charged with her murder.
"For 32 years this evil person has not owned up to this horrific crime.
"I want to be able to remember her life instead of focussing on her death. She is my sister, she is a person, she deserves to be remembered for herself."
An impact statement from Melanie's brother Adrian Road said: "When they told me, I cried, uncontrollably, I cried.
"My six-year-old daughter asked me "Daddy, why are you crying?" I had to tell her, "The man who killed Aunty Melanie, my little sister a long time ago, has now been caught, so we are all safe."
Directly addressing Hampton, Mr Road said: "You killed Melanie, you raped her, you mutilated her, and you chose to abandon her, you abandoned her when she was dying, our little sister Melanie.
"She was a lovely girl and I loved her."
Prince's pre-tax income from 1 October 2015 to 1 October 2016 is estimated at $25m (£20.5m) by the business magazine, putting him fifth in the list.
Bowie, meanwhile, is ranked at 11th for an estimated income of $10.5m (£8.5m).
Both, however, are dwarfed by pop star Michael Jackson, who tops the list once again with a record-breaking estimated income of $825m (£672.8m).
The figure, said Forbes, was "the most any celebrity has ever earned in a single year" - a result of his half of a music publishing catalogue being sold for $750m (£611m).
Jackson held a 50% stake in Sony ATV Music Publishing - famous for its library of Beatles tunes - as part of a business partnership that began in 1995.
Peanuts creator Charles M Schulz climbs one place on last year's list to second place with estimated 2015-2016 earnings of $48m (£39m).
US golfer Arnold Palmer, who died last month aged 87, enters the chart at three with estimated earnings of $40m (£32.6m).
Bowie died of cancer in January at the age of 69, while Prince was found dead on 21 April at the age of 57.

The Durham force said it was "shocked" after getting hundreds of calls after a BBC programme about sexual and physical abuse was shown in January.
A spokeswoman said there were now up to 500 victims claiming physical or sexual abuse at the Medomsley juvenile centre.
Two members of staff at the centre were jailed in 2003 and 2005 over the abuse.
Durham Police said many former inmates who had been in touch since the BBC Inside Out programme was shown were now get counselling.
The majority of men - about 340 - claim they were physically assaulted and around 160 said they were sexually abused.
The centre closed in 1988 after the abuse came to light, but has since reopened as a secure training unit.
Neville Husband, who worked at the detention centre as a prison officer, was jailed for 12 years for in 2003 for sexual abuse.
Leslie Johnson, a store man, was sentenced to six years in 2005. Both men have since died.
However, police are investigating if other people were involved in abusing boys at the centre.
A spokeswoman for Durham Police said: "We are now looking at potentially 500 victims linked to Medomsley."
Records aplenty can be set by the Many Clouds team as the Oliver Sherwood-trained nine-year-old - the age group that has provided most winners, incidentally - goes for a repeat success in the £1m Crabbie's Grand National under jockey Leighton Aspell.
The horse, owned by businessman Trevor Hemmings, attempts to become the first since Red Rum in 1973 and 1974 to win back-to-back runnings of the famous steeplechase, first staged in 1839. In the history of the race, seven have been successful twice, though only Abd-El-Kader (1850 and 1851), The Colonel (1869 and 1870), and Reynoldstown (1935 and 1936) have done so in consecutive seasons.
Hemmings, meanwhile, is attempting to become the first owner to win the race four times, after previous successes with Hedgehunter (2005), Ballabriggs (2011) and Many Clouds. Aspell, who also rode Pineau De Re to victory in 2014, would be the first jockey to win three Nationals in a row.
The 39-year-old has partnered Many Clouds in all of his 24 races to date, most recently a breathtaking round of jumping to win a valuable race at Kelso.
Before Saturday's race, in which the horse carries only a pound more in the handicap than 12 months ago, Aspell said: "You don't want to tempt fate, but I'm on a good horse, the top weight, who's favourite and deserves to be favourite on everything he's done.
"I'm just hoping for a bit of luck - a horse can fall left or fall right, or a loose horse can turn up out of anywhere, and completely ruin your race in a flash - but hopefully I can get a good passage round. That's the main thing."
All set to be champion jump jockey for the first time, having emerged from the shadow of the now retired AP McCoy, Richard 'Dicky' Johnson has the dubious distinction of having contested the most Grand Nationals without winning.
Since Celtic Abbey became his first mount in 1997, unseating him at The Chair, Johnson has taken part 19 years on the trot, and has twice been runner-up, on What's Up Boys (2002) and Balthazar King two years ago.
This time he takes the mount on the Philip Hobbs-trained Kruzhlinin, a well-beaten 10th behind Pineau De Re in 2014 when under the care of Donald McCain, son of race legend Ginger. Kruzhlinin, along with The Last Samuri, was removed from McCain's stable in October by owners Paul and Clare Rooney.
Johnson has won more than 3,000 races - making him easily the second most successful jump jockey of all time behind McCoy, to whom he was runner-up in 16 championships.
He said: "Kruzhlinin ticks a lot of boxes. He's got a decent level of ability which is important and he travels well, along with the fact that he's a big strong horse.
"You can never be too confident, but he fits the right profile."
If things had worked out differently for rising star David Bass, he might have been performing on a very different stage on Grand National day.
From a musical family, the 27-year-old jockey played drums in a rock band before turning his attention to horse racing, and friends remain impressed by the wide variety of tunes emanating from the CD player in his car.
Enjoying his breakthrough season, with a half-century of winners now chalked up, he shouldn't have much problem getting a Grand National tune out of strongly fancied The Last Samuri, trained - like 1990 winner Mr Frisk - by Kim Bailey.
The pair were impressive winners of March's Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster; so much so that if the official handicapper, who allotted the big-race weights in mid-February, had the opportunity to do so again now he would give The Last Samuri 12 pounds more than the 10st 8lb the horse has, a further pointer to an outstanding chance.
For his jockey, The Last Samuri represents a third go at the feature race in which he is yet to complete the course.

With every high-street betting shop clogged up with customers, many of them in the once-a-year camp, from first thing on Grand National day, the betting industry estimates a whopping £150m will be staked.
Though a whole host of the runners will be supported for all kinds of reasons, the bookmakers are approaching the big day with nerves jangling after facing the longest and most expensive payout queues ever when a string of fancied contenders dominated March's Cheltenham Festival.
Many Clouds did the bookies a big favour when landing the race at odds of 25-1 last year, but this time he is all set to jump off a heavily backed, short-odds favourite, meaning a repeat win would be, in the words of one industry insider, "the stuff of nightmares".
Ireland's champion jumps trainer Willie Mullins continues his quest to wrest the British title - determined, like its Irish counterpart, by prize money - from Paul Nicholls with a string of runners throughout the three-day Aintree Festival, including up to four in the Grand National.
After a lucrative run at the Cheltenham Festival, along with his number one jockey Ruby Walsh, Mullins goes into Aintree £250,000 or so behind Nicholls, who has taken the championship for nine of the past 10 seasons.
The value of the feature in particular (£561,300 to the winner, and six-figure sums to the second and third) makes it potentially hugely significant.
Should Mullins succeed, it would be the first time the title has gone across the Irish Sea since victories for Early Mist and Royal Tan in successive Grand Nationals helped Vincent O'Brien be champion in the 1952-53 and 1953-54 National Hunt seasons.
Nicholls, successful with the grey Neptune Collonges in 2012, is due to saddle six runners, headed by a class act in two-time King George VI Chase winner Silviniaco Conti.
Whoever wins the Grand National will, of course, create a mass of headlines, but were the winning rider female, the story of the world's most famous steeplechase is bound to go global.
Katie Walsh has achieved the highest placing by a female jockey in the race - finishing third on Seabass, trained by her father Ted, in 2012.
Walsh will again ride against her brother Ruby, who is on Sir Des Champs, when she partners Ballycasey for Willie Mullins.
Her sister-in-law Nina Carberry has been earmarked to ride Knock House, currently second reserve, for trainer Mick Channon, a former England footballer.
Carberry has ridden in the race on five occasions, completing the course four times, with a seventh place on Character Building, behind Don't Push It and McCoy in 2010, her best finish.
In a sport in which pedigree plays such a big part, the 31-year-old's can be said to be gilt-edged with Aintree in mind. Her father Tommy has both ridden and trained a Grand National winner, having partnered L'Escargot - trained by his wife's father Dan Moore - to victory over Red Rum in 1975, before saddling the 1999 victor Bobbyjo, ridden by his son - Nina's brother - Paul.
Last year, Australia's iconic Melbourne Cup was won by the fourth female jockey to take part when Michelle Payne was successful on Prince Of Penzance.
While Carberry needs two withdrawals to be guaranteed a ride this year, it can surely only be a matter of time before perhaps the most iconic racing prize in the northern hemisphere goes the same way.
As Radio 5 live spearheads the BBC's coverage of the 169th Grand National - and indeed of all three days of the Aintree Festival - we can look forward to a rare insight from two of our team in particular.
Veteran jockey Andrew Thornton, whose quest for 1,000 wins has reached the nervy 990s, is due to partner big-race outsider Rocky Creek, trained by Nicholls.
Thornton, 43, will be taking his 14th mount and hoping to complete the course for only the fourth time.
Meanwhile, Gary O'Brien, one of the quartet of commentators required to ensure the most detailed description possible of the sprawling National course, is a member of the trio of Bodeen Bandits, owners of outsider Vics Canvas, trained in Ireland by Dermot McLoughlin.
O'Brien is far too polished a pro to allow owning a runner to affect his work, though if the 13-year-old is in or near the lead when the runners pass him with two fences to jump, that composure may be considerably tested.
The Grand National is staged these days over four and a quarter miles and 74 yards of a course that has been subject to £1.5m of modifications following the deaths of two horses in the race both in 2011 and in 2012.
The principal change was to make the inner 'core' of the obstacles plastic rather than wooden, while there were also alterations to the landing sides.
Under not inconsiderable pressure at the time, officials had a brief to make things safer for all participants, while also "retaining the character" of the historic event. The feeling is that both were achieved.
While welfare issues jumped up the agenda again at the Cheltenham Festival after seven fatalities, in the past three Grand Nationals there have been none - though two in other races staged over the big fences during the three-day Festival - and also fewer fallers. Most horses that do not complete the course unseat their riders or are pulled up.
Last year, both new procedures and the jockeys taking part received praise after the race began without incident following a string of chaotic false starts in previous years.
One of the best-backed runners in the Grand National has been 2015 runner-up Saint Are. Twelve months ago, the 10-year-old, trained by Tom George and due to be ridden by Paddy Brennan, was just one and three quarter lengths behind Many Clouds and six lengths in front of the third. In with one of the lowest weights in the handicap, Saint Are looked better than ever when winning a race at Doncaster in February and Brennan will be looking for better luck than in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, when he and Cue Card fell when challenging at the third-last fence.
Top trainer Jonjo O'Neill prepares two big fancies, last year's fifth Shutthefrontdoor - is stamina an issue? - and Holywell, as he tries to emulate his 2010 winner Don't Push It. The one-time champion jockey reports the pair in such fine fettle "I nearly thought I'd come back and ride one myself".
For the first time in living memory, there is no runner from jump racing's northern circuit, a further example perhaps of the sport's widening North-South divide. The top 40 in the handicap make the cut, and principal northern hope Highland Lodge, winner of the Becher Chase over the famous obstacles in December for the Cumbrian stable of trainer Jimmy Moffat, narrowly missed it.

Evacuation began less than two hours before kick-off after a "concrete security threat", said the city's president of police Volker Kluwe.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was set to attend the match at the 49,000-capacity HDI Arena.
The German national team's players were put under police protection.
Following the bomb threat, fans were told to return home "quickly, but without panic".
Germany's Minister of the Interior Thomas de Maiziere told a news conference: "The match was called off on my recommendation.
"There is a high level of threat for Germany and Europe."
Belgium's friendly with Spain in Brussels, also scheduled to be played on Tuesday, was called off on Monday because of security fears in the wake of last week's attacks in Paris.
England's match against France at Wembley on Tuesday night went ahead, with tributes paid to the 129 people killed in Paris on Friday.
Reinhard Rauball, the German Football League president, said the cancellation of the Dutch game was a "sad day for football".
Boris Pistorius, the Interior Minister for the State of Lower Saxony, told journalists no arrests had been made and no explosives found.
Part of Hannover train station has since been closed while a suspicious object is investigated, German media have reported.
German team national spokesman Jens Grittner tweeted: "The team were diverted on the way to the stadium. In a safe place. We can't say more at the moment."
The world champions had initially not wanted the game to go ahead, having been France's opponents in Paris on Friday when the wave of attacks hit the city.
The contingent of 80 Germans, including players, coaches and staff, then spent the night in the changing rooms of the Stade de France stadium, before leaving for the airport on Saturday morning.

But the players, coaches and national football association decided to proceed with the game in a show of unity with the French.
The Associated Press agency reported there had been an earlier bomb threat outside the stadium, with streets leading to the ground being sealed off before the all-clear was given.
Hannover's mayor Stefan Schostok told German newspaper Bild: "Safety is paramount. This is a fear you will always have.
"I trust the police have made the right decision. If a threat situation exists, then those steps must be taken."
This match has been postponed to play at a later date.

The incident happened between 21:00 BST and 21:30 BST on Monday, but police have just released details.
They said a group of 11 "males" attacked two girls in the incident in the car park of a cinema at the Quays Centre.
Bleach made contact with the skin of the stomach of one of the girls, but she was not seriously injured. The bleach bottle was then thrown at her.
Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them.
Blackwell, 25, spent nine days in an induced coma after losing his British middleweight title to Chris Eubank Jr in London on 26 March.
Maccarinelli, who trains under Lockett and is a stablemate of Blackwell, told BBC Wales Sport: "There's been a load of people trying to point the finger.
"I really had to bite my tongue. A lot of it did agitate me."
Blackwell, who suffered a bleed on the skull, woke from his coma on Saturday and by Sunday was talking to family and friends at his bedside.
The fight at Wembley Arena was halted in the 10th round by the ringside doctor because Blackwell's left eye was swollen shut.
Between rounds eight and nine, Chris Eubank Sr - a former world champion - was heard to urge his son to punch Blackwell's body rather than his face.
Eubank Sr later said he would pull his son out of a fight if he was in the same situation as Blackwell.
Former WBO cruiserweight world champion Maccarinelli, 35, said: "Gary's like a family member. He's a head of our family. I believe he did right and most boxers, most trainers, most managers fall on Gary's side."
Maccarinelli also praised referee Victor Loughlin, claiming he was "A-star".
He added: "Boxing is the best sport in the world. It just gets annoying sometimes with people having their say, but then you realise they've never stepped in the ring, don't know what it's like."
Welshman Maccarinelli revealed the difficulty in trying to remain focused on boxing while Blackwell was in hospital.
"From the moment it happened, I've just been feeling sick," he said. "I've been phoning Gary every day for regular updates. The picture I've seen of Nick awake with his brother is just one of the best pictures I've seen."
A donation page has been set up for Blackwell, while Maccarinelli's former opponent David Haye will donate 10% of his next purse to Blackwell.
"As boxers, we know what every fighter goes through to get in that ring," said Maccarinelli. "It's easy for people to sit in their armchairs and slag people off, never done a day's training in their life or are too afraid to go in the gym.
"All the boxers have come together and are trying their best. You see how strong the boxing community is at times like these. Luckily they're very rare. I'm just glad Nick pulled through this. The warrior he is, there was never a doubt."
Torridge District Council makes about £40,000 a year from overpayments because machines at its 22 car parks do not give change.
Council leader Philip Collins is urging members to back his call for the money to be given to charities.
Last year Cornwall Council revealed it makes £300,000 a year because its parking machines do not give change.
Torridge District Council charges between 60p and 90p for up to an hour of parking and between £1.20 and £1.80 for up to two hours.
Mr Collins, who will be submitting a motion to councillors on Monday, said: "Typically £1 is used instead of 90p and we treat these overpayments as a donation.
"I think we should be open with the public and say at least we guarantee that it goes towards local charities.
"There are a number of organisations that are very important to people."
He said the Citizens Advice Bureau and women's refuges could be among those that would benefit, although the recipients would be decided when the council set its budget.
"Who knows, we may find some generous supporters give even more money in this way," said Mr Collins.
Waves from the surge in the Humber estuary on 5 December have washed away parts of the road and punched holes in the sea defences.
The damage is still being assessed by the land's owners, the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.
It has appealed for volunteers to help tidy up the area.
Terry Smithson, regional director for Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, said: "I couldn't believe my eyes when I visited Spurn; a new landscape has emerged following the tidal surge in addition to all manner of litter and debris.
"We are asking everyone who loves Spurn to come and help us with what will be the largest litter picking challenge we have ever faced."
The 3.5 miles (6km) long spit of land, which is a nature reserve, has remained closed to the public since the tidal surge.
A RNLI lifeboat crew based at the tip has had to move some of its operations to the port of Grimsby on the opposite side of the estuary.
Lifeboat coxswain Dave Steenvoorden said he had not seen such a level of damage before.
"On the actual operational side of the boat, no affect at all. It's everything else. It's the living, the shopping, the rubbish, the fuel, the electricity the water."
He added:" I don't think we'll beat nature, but we might claw a little bit back."
Guled Omar, 22, was one of three Somali-American men sentenced on terror-related charges by the court in the state of Minnesota on Wednesday.
The other two, Abdirahman Daud and Mohamed Farah, also 22, were each jailed for 30 years.
Six other defendants have already been sentenced to terms of up to 15 years.
Omar, Daud and Farah were convicted by a jury in June of conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organisation and conspiracy to commit murder outside the US.
As he awaited his sentence, Omar told the judge that he understood the gravity of his conviction.
"I always had energy for justice as a young man but I lost my way," he told the court.
But US District Judge Michael Davis described the group of nine as a "terrorist cell" and said he didn't believe Omar's words of contrition.
Prosecutor Andrew Winter said Omar's crying was crocodile tears.
"Only when backed into a corner, does he attempt to offer false contrition," he said.
"You can't fix manipulative. You can't fix deceitful. And you can't fix Guled Omar."
Prosecutors said the plot had involved a group of friends who planned to travel to Syria and fight alongside IS.
The Minneapolis area is home to the largest concentration of Somali immigrants in the US.
Since 2007, at least 22 Somali men have travelled oversees to support Islamic State or Al-Shabab, a separate militant group based in Somalia.
The images are of people who helped some of those who lost their lives on 15 April 1989.
Pictures of more than 40 people have been released so far with more than half identified.
The latest photographs from Operation Resolve, the police investigation into the disaster, focus on six people.
The appeal was launched at the request of coroner Sir John Goldring and the victims' families.
The officer in overall command of Operation Resolve, Assistant Commissioner Jon Stoddart, said: "The response to the first two appeals has been superb and we are grateful to the public for taking the time to visit our website and view the various images.
"These people could have important information that will help the families in answering some of their unanswered questions and also assist the ongoing inquest process.
"As I have said previously, what we are doing is unusual and I cannot reiterate the importance of people heeding the warnings and advice issued by the coroner and the office of the Attorney General.
"It is important that people do not pass comment on our appeal or any other aspect of the Hillsborough disaster on social media and forums."
Images of all those yet to be traced are shown on the Operation Resolve website.

Bardsey Island Trust is looking for a new information and volunteer officer to spend 18 weeks living in the tiny community.
The job offers basic accommodation and the chance to work in a national nature reserve, home to dolphins and seals.
The island, located two miles off Llyn peninsula, is only accessible by private boat.
But Caroline Williams, administrator with the Bardsey Island Trust, warned the job is not a holiday.
"It's lonely and isolated, and you have to be prepared for that," she said. "But the people who live there love it.
"And it's not totally cut off - there is the internet and phone. It is the perfect job for someone who is at university or who has just graduated and is looking for some experience."
The island, called Ynys Enlli in Welsh, is limited to around 2,000 visitors per season, and has seven permanent residents.
It is said to be the burial ground of 20,000 saints, and was an important pilgrimage post for early Christians.
Last year the Trust was inundated with hundreds of applications from as afar afield as Pakistan after advertising for an island manager.
But Ms Williams strongly recommends that prospective applicants visit the windswept island.
Job responsibilities include pathways maintenance, updating the Trust's website and social media, and volunteer support - and applicants must be fluent in welsh and English.
The deadline for the job, part-funded by Natural Resources Wales, is 1 April, and the starting date is 1 June.
Thousands viewed and shared Nick Jablonka's A-Level coursework, posted on YouTube in June, thinking it was the store's hotly anticipated festive ad.
The Bournemouth student said he was "overwhelmed" by the reaction.
A John Lewis spokesman said: "Nick is clearly very talented, we'd love to invite him to spend some time with us."
The 18-year-old said the project, titled John Lewis Christmas Advert 2016 - The Snowglobe, initially got about 200 views "but in the past week it went crazy".
The piece, which features a love-struck snowman stuck in a snow globe, has had more than 460,000 views.
Mr Jablonka, who is studying at Bournemouth University, said: "I really didn't mean for the confusion. Although I really appreciate the overwhelming comments."
One viewer posted: "Easily comparable to 'the real thing'. Well done. I hope you go on to great things."
Another said: "Nick you've done a great job of taking our feelings on a 75 second journey." | Poole's council is being criticised for spending £250,000 on revamping its civic centre which could close if a merger of Dorset councils goes ahead.

With the first quarter of the league campaign having been completed at the weekend, the table is beginning to settle into a familiar-looking format.
It was widely expected, after all, that Celtic would eventually return to the top this season. Even so, the nature of Aberdeen's challenge is less predictable. That inconsistency is, in itself, a bewildering drama.
Derek McInnes steered his side to eight straight victories at the outset of the campaign, but Aberdeen have since lost three times in a row in the league, and been knocked out of the Scottish League Cup by Hibernian. For a team that had been so resolute, strong and assertive, the faltering has been eye-catching.
Supporters' minds will jostle with explanations, mostly based on preconceptions, but it is the manager's job to identify and solve the issues that have suddenly beset his team.
Social media has created an environment of boundless speculation and rumour, a world that has infuriated the Aberdeen manager, but in reality it is mundane matters that need to be addressed. McInnes has been making changes to his side, and rhythm and momentum have been lost, while there is a psychological challenge to being league leaders that players need to adapt to.
It is the defensive uncertainties that are most damaging. Aberdeen only conceded three goals during their eight consecutive wins, but have conceded nine in their last three league games.
McInnes assembled a squad with strength in depth, so alterations to the starting line-up shouldn't be disruptive, but senior players must recover their nerve and reliability. The manager will have to rely on his authority and shrewdness to find the means to carry that out. He is well-equipped to cope.
Losing 2-0 on Friday night at Ross County will have particularly pained McInnes, since the Aberdeen manager spent the international break working intently with his players, but the continuing progress of the Dingwall side is further evidence of the solid, impressive work being carried out by Jim McIntyre and Billy Dodds.
Ross County ought to be praised for their resurgence, which has lifted them to fourth in the table and reminded again of the worth of organisation, industry and players being encouraged to thrive.
McIntyre has built a decent squad of players whose abilities he understands and can rely on. There is competition for places - County have four first-team strikers - but also versatility.
Room is made for a maverick talent, too, like Liam Boyce, who might have made the scoreline more emphatic against Aberdeen if his instincts did not go awry at the wrong times.
Under McIntyre, County have regrouped and made steady progress. There will be no need in January, for instance, for the annual hurry to the transfer market to sign players on short-term deals to try to rescue the campaign.
That kind of stability tends to be rewarded at clubs, and County have become a reliably effective side.
The new Dundee United manager was typically competitive and forthright on the touchline at Tannadice. Decisions made during the 1-0 defeat to Hearts, by officials and his own players, tended to uncork that ferocious spirit that has underpinned all of Mixu Paatelainen's work in football.
Paatelainen has been blunt about the situation at Tannadice, acknowledging that the club is now in a fight against relegation, but he can only win it by solving the flaws in his team.
The missing quality this season has been experience, an element of the kind of streetwise nature that would have allowed a team of talented youngsters manage difficult periods in games and secure points that would have kept them higher up the table.
That kind of nous is earned in the hard yards of a career, so Paatelainen can only impose order and instructions on his team until the January transfer window, funds allowing, provides an opportunity to sign one or two time-served players for the spine of his side.
United need to become more difficult to score against - they have conceded the most Premiership goals - and there was an element of resourcefulness when he fielded John Souttar, a player of raw talent but lacking the particular skills demanded of a centre-back or a midfielder.
There is a growing reliance on Billy McKay to provide the team's cutting edge. The Northern Irishman has form for regular goalscoring, and the added motivation of a place in his country's Euro 2016 squad to earn, but he likes to play off the shoulder of defenders and run in behind, while Paatelainen wants his team to build attacks through possession.
The manager urges his goalkeeper to distribute the ball short, but that created pressure on his defenders on Sunday. The onus, for now, is to be pragmatic and build a solid, uncompromising team.
Former SDLP leader Mark Durkan claims they are now being "played like a joker".
It is one of the kinder descriptions applied to the DUP's decision to use the petition to block an assembly motion this week that, among other things, accused the Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland of misleading the institutions.
An "abuse"; "political chicanery" and "farce" are among the charges made by the DUP's political opponents.
But they are not the only party to have used the mechanism.
Sinn Féin tried, and narrowly failed, to use a petition of concern to block Jim Allister's special adviser (Spad) bill in the assembly.
The legislation stops former prisoners with serious convictions becoming a special political adviser at Stormont.
The SDLP's decision not to sign the petition meant Sinn Féin had only the signatures of its 29 MLAs - one short of the 30 required.
The DUP, however, with 38 MLAs, have no such worries and have been using the measure liberally recently to defeat anything from a vote calling for the introduction of gay marriage in Northern Ireland to amendments to the Planning Bill.
Any vote taken by the assembly can be made dependent on cross-community support if a petition of concern is presented to the assembly speaker.
In such cases, a vote on proposed legislation will only pass if supported by a weighted majority (60%) of members voting, including at least 40% of each of the nationalist and unionist designations present and voting.
Effectively this means that, provided enough MLAs from a given community agree, that community can exercise a veto over the assembly's decisions.
Since the restoration of devolution in 1998, the device has been used a total of 63 times - more than half of those were in the past two years.
Unionists, mainly the DUP, have accounted for 37 petitions of concern.
In the most recent assembly term, petitions of concern were used 18 times, compared with just six in 2007/2008, the year devolution was restored.
So what is going on?
According to Mr Durkan, the assembly's standing orders need to be amended to more accurately reflect the 1998 Good Friday Agreement itself, because the measures are being used "as defensive, pre-emptive and prescriptive vetoes".
The former SDLP leader said: "The petition of concern facility was put into the agreement to safeguard communal sensitivities and specifically to protect equality and human rights considerations.
"It was not proposed or envisaged as a tool to protect any minister from due accountability - not least when there are issues on probity in public finances or propriety of ministerial conduct.
"Paragraphs 11 to 13 of the agreement show that the petition of concern was not meant to be played like a joker, as a reflex veto to frustrate any valid proposal.
"Instead, it was meant to trigger a process whereby equality and human rights concerns could be assessed and addressed, by a specially appointed committee of the assembly taking evidence and reporting on those very issues.
"Unfortunately, the assembly standing orders do not actually reflect the carefully calibrated provision in the agreement itself. The 1998 Act says that the assembly standing orders should make provision for what is laid down in those three paragraphs of the agreement."
Mr Durkan added: "I have made the point several times before and do so again that the standing orders need to be corrected in accordance with the agreement and the 1998 Act.
"The argument can also be made, and I made it at the time, that the 1998 Act could have been more explicit in providing for the procedure intended."
The Alliance MP Naomi Long has asked Secretary of State Theresa Villiers to intervene by using the Northern Ireland Miscellaneous Provisions Bill currently making its way through Westminster to instead implement a weighted majority voting system, which would not allow any single party to "over-ride the wishes of the assembly as a whole".
"The petition of concern was designed to offer protection to minorities within the assembly, where decisions of a sensitive nature risked being imposed upon them against their will," Ms Long said.
"Its use in this case to protect the interest of one party in circumstances where there is widespread and cross-community support for a motion is a clear abuse of the mechanism and makes a strong case for urgent reform," she added.
The DUP rejects the criticism but has said the party is open to change.
A DUP spokesman told the BBC: "The use of a petition of concern in a motion calling for an inquiry that has already been established appears to have caused a greater outcry than when its use blocked an amendment to the Justice Bill, that would have prevented abortions being performed by private clinics.
"Hopefully, those who have apparently been so outraged by the use of a mechanism they negotiated and supported in 1998 will be equally as forthright in their support for reform of the Stormont structures, which the DUP has supported for over a decade now."
Just last week, the cross-party assembly and executive review committee decided "further detailed work" needed to be carried out on petitions of concern.
After the events of this week, many will see that work as more urgent than ever.
Of course, if the DUP, or any other party, does not like any proposed changes they can always block them - with a petition of concern.
Speaking for the first time since quitting her post on 7 June, Mrs Napier said she had no idea Ian Johnston had any concerns about her performance.
She said he came to her office and read out a document issuing an ultimatum - leave or face being forced out.
Mr Johnston told a committee of MPs she was "unacceptably" unhelpful.
They had both been called before the Home Affairs Committee in Westminster.
Speaking on Tuesday, Mrs Napier told MPs: "I felt that the tone of the document and how he delivered it was both menacing and bullying.
"I felt actually from the tone of the note, that it was a clear threat - retire or resign. Or actually, horrible words 'I will humiliate and dismiss you'. That is what rang in my head."
The former chief constable said she was alone with Mr Johnston as he read out the document to her. She said she was not given a copy of it and had to ask him to slow down while he read it.
She said he then "stormed out" without giving her a chance to reply, leaving her with feelings of "shock" and "horror".
Mrs Napier, who had just reached 30 years service in the police force, said her initial reaction was to fight Mr Johnson's ultimatum.
But she told the committee that after taking legal advice she realised the "enormous, unfettered power" which police and crime commissioners PCCs have.
She said she discovered that even if Mr Johnston's decision was taken to the Gwent Police and Crime Panel which oversees the actions of the PCC, he could have ignored their advice.
Earlier, Mr Johnston defended his decision to ask Mrs Napier to retire, saying it was clear she was "hostile" to his role as Gwent's PCC.
Mr Johnston, a former chief superintendent in the Gwent force with more than 30 years service, said he went to her office on 23 May with a document that he had drafted with a lawyer.
He denied he issued the ultimatum because of a clash of personalities, saying Mrs Napier's attitude to his role meant he was unable to do his job properly.
The PCC told the committee the pair did not get off to a "very auspicious start" after he found out last November - in his first week in the elected role - that the chief constable had warned staff that anyone who had contact with him would be subject to disciplinary procedures.
Of their first meeting: "It wasn't a very productive hour and it left me in no doubt as to where I stood and how she saw the role of the PCC, which didn't accord with my role."
He also said when the pair discussed the closure of police stations in the force area - one of his statutory duties - she told him "it was nothing to do with me [Mr Johnston]".
He added that he believed her managerial style to be "unacceptably dismissive, abrupt and unhelpful", although he conceded that he did not think she was incompetent as chief constable.
However, when these points were put to Mrs Napier by the committee, she said she had wanted to work with Mr Johnston and had hoped he would be a champion of the force.
She said some staff members who had worked with Mr Johnston when he was at Gwent Police raised concerns about his behaviours and attitudes and that they feared he might seek to undo the changes that had been brought into the force.
Mrs Napier said that after looking into the legislation about PCCs, she spoke to senior officers and police staff to clarify the role of the chief constable and the PCC and what their responsibilities were.
The committee also heard that Mr Johnston had accused Mrs Napier of manipulating crime figures after the force recorded the largest fall in crime in England and Wales in 2011-2012.
But the former chief constable strongly denied this, adding that reviews had shown the force had previously been over-recording crime.
After Mrs Napier announced she was retiring from her 30-year career in policing, it emerged she had been forced out by Mr Johnston.
Mr Johnston confirmed his ultimatum to Mrs Napier after documents were leaked to the South Wales Argus.
Until now, Mrs Napier's only comment on the issue had been a carefully-worded statement in which she asked whether PCC powers were compromising police independence.
She called on the UK government to look again at the power of PCCs, which were first elected last year.
Under current laws, a decision to remove a chief constable must be referred to the local police and crime panel, consisting of 10 to 20 members, who may ask for a report from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC).
The panel has no power of veto and the final decision rests with the PCC.
The 24-year-old, who scored 25 goals in 40 appearances for the Robins last season, has agreed a three-year deal with the Addicks.
"Nicky is a fantastic addition," Charlton boss Russell Slade told the club website.
"He's a proven goalscorer, is very strong in the box and has got a great work ethic as well."
Ajose, who began his career at Manchester United and has had spells at Peterborough and Leeds, is Charlton's fourth signing of the summer.
He has also previously spent time on loan at Bury, Scunthorpe, Chesterfield, Crawley and Crewe.

Khan, a natural welterweight fighting beyond 147lbs for the first time, started well but was floored by a huge right hand from the defending champion.
The defeat was the 29-year-old's fourth of his 35-fight career.
"This challenge came and it was very hard to turn down," Khan said.
"I want to be the best, I want to fight the best and that's why I took this fight.
"I showed my bravery by getting in the ring with Canelo, but this is boxing. I wanted to go out there as a champion."
Khan jumped two weight divisions to challenge Mexican Alvarez and was bidding to become only the third former light-welterweight world champion to win a middleweight world title.
"I was unfortunate that I didn't make it to the end," he added. "I tried my best and I want to say thank you for the support, but I will probably go down to 147 now."
Alvarez, who has won 33 of his 47 career victories by a knockout, said patience was key to his victory.
"He was a very fast fighter and I knew things would be complicated at the beginning," he said. "But I knew the time would come in my favour.
"Many people talk about my power but I've got many more qualities in the ring. People see that and that's what happened in the ring.
"Someone who comes in to box obviously gives you more trouble.
"But someone who comes in to press and attack you gives you the opportunity for a nice fight."
In 2014 Nick Dickson, 52, gave himself the challenge of hill walking one thousand miles, with the intention of seeing more of the UK countryside while increasing his fitness. This is his story.
"Last Jan 1st, like many people, I made a resolution to take more exercise.
When I moved up to the North from London in 2011 I promised myself that I'd make use of the great countryside across the region. In the first few years of living here I'd been on some lovely walks but still had barely scratched the surface of what was available pretty much on my doorstep. I knew that I literally had to get out a bit more.
Things started really well with an early new year break when I went up some of the Lake District fells around Buttermere and Crummock Water, and then a few trips over the next few weeks and months out to the hills and dales around Derbyshire, Cheshire and Lancashire. I was clocking up the miles, all measured on my trusty walkers GPS unit, and seeing some amazing places. I started adding up the distances and keeping track of the total in a diary which helpfully had beautiful pictures of wild landscapes to further spur me on.
I managed to boost the walk-mileage while on a fantastic holiday to the Outer Hebrides in late April with my other half where we did lots of walks across brilliant beaches, up stunning wild hillsides and visiting tiny islands, including St Kilda way out in the Atlantic. By mid-May I was already up to 350 miles, just about on course for the challenge of walking a thousand miles by the end of the year.
A busy summer of work and distractions like the World Cup and Commonwealth Games slowed things down a bit so that by September I was behind schedule - under 600 miles with four months to go. Unfortunately I'd also told a few people that I was on the challenge so the pressure was on to get moving or risk embarrassment and a little humiliation. A long distance, multi day trip across the highlights of the Peak District and holiday breaks up to the Cairngorms and the Yorkshire Dales helped to put me back on track and see more fantastic British countryside.
By December I still needed to walk another 80 or so miles. Shorter days, poor weather and getting ill all got in the way and seemed to be combining to stop me from reaching my goal. But a final push which included a Christmas Day walk to the source of the Thames in Gloucestershire, a snowy Sunday up around Kinder Scout in the High Peak and a New Years' Eve walk on the appropriately named Winter Hill in the West Pennines helped me cross the finishing line and reach the thousand mile target.
As a townie largely brought up in the London suburbs I'd never been able to fully enjoy or appreciate how amazing and varied the British Isles really are. Before 2014 I'd visited lots of different parts of the country and knew of some of the beautiful places that existed but over this last year I've seen just how fantastic and accessible the countryside is.
Whether it's a ramble over a National Trust park, a stroll across fields near your home, or a trip to the wilder, more rugged parts of Britain, getting out and walking, to see the wonders of where we live, is one of those pleasures that is open to everyone. You don't have to walk a thousand miles but I'd really recommend seeing what's on your doorstep, to get out and to get to know how great the country that we live in really is."

The 22-year-old, from Bartley Green, died in hospital after the attack in Woodgate Gardens at 22:50 BST.
Police said they have arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion of murder and have been given more time to question a 16-year-old boy about the death.
A 21-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of murder, has been released without charge.
Det Insp Caroline Corfield said: "Investigations are continuing into the tragic death of Mr Leonard.
"I wish to express my gratitude to the local community who have been very supportive of this investigation but I do believe there are still others who will have relevant information."
Some 3.2 million people have also been displaced internally over the same period, according to a new report.
The UN accuses so-called Islamic State of systematic and widespread violence, including holding some 3,500 mainly women and children as slaves.
Alleged abuses by troops, militiamen and Kurdish forces were also recorded.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Raad Al Hussein said the report "starkly illustrates what Iraqi refugees are attempting to escape when they flee to Europe and other regions. This is the horror they face in their homelands".
The report, by the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, is based on interviews with the displaced and direct testimony from victims, survivors or witnesses of rights abuses.
It says the figures of 18,802 civilians killed and 36,245 wounded between 1 January 2014 and 31 October 2015 could be much higher.

Source: UN Report on the Protection on Civilians in the Armed Conflict in Iraq 1 May-31 October 2015
In particular, the figures from the conflict-torn western province of Anbar, much of which is held by IS, might not fully reflect the situation.
About half of the deaths were recorded in Baghdad province and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were the deadliest tactic used against civilians.
Nevertheless, the figures for civilian deaths are still significantly below those recorded at the height of the sectarian insurgency in Iraq in 2006 and 2007.
Before so-called Islamic State swept across large areas of the country in 2014 and except for the 2006-07 sectarian war between Sunnis and Shia, the civilian death rate was much lower than the toll in this latest UN report.
The monthly average rate between 2010 and 2013, for example, was about 400 deaths, which also included domestic violence and crimes.
The latest figure will also certainly be much higher than the UN reports, because there are many no-go areas for activists and journalists.
IS militants brag about killing anyone who they perceive as "non-believers" of their extremist Islamist ideology. Followers of other religions have also been singled out - with Yazidis and Christians taking the brunt of summary executions and murders.
And Baghdad still represents a large percentage of civilian deaths, with IS militants targeting shopping centres, cafes, schools and markets.
The report says: "So-called Islamic State continues to commit systematic and widespread violence and abuses of international human rights law and humanitarian law.
"These acts may, in some instances, amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and possibly genocide."
The report documents killings by IS militants "in gruesome public spectacles, including by shooting, beheading, bulldozing, burning alive and throwing people off the top of buildings".
It notes that up to 900 children have been abducted in the IS-held northern city of Mosul, to be indoctrinated and given military training.
Women and children were also subjected to "sexual violence", the report states.
It says about 3,500 people, mainly women and children and largely from the Yazidi community, were being held as slaves.
The UN Special Representative for Iraq, Jan Kubis, said the "scourge of IS continues to kill, maim and displace Iraqi civilians in the thousands and to cause untold suffering".
The report also documents alleged violations, including abductions and unlawful killings, by government forces, militiamen, members of the paramilitary Popular Mobilisation forces and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters.
Civilians displaced by the conflict face difficulties in finding safety and if they do can be subjected to arbitrary arrests or forced expulsions, the UN says.
Mr Kubis urged the Iraqi government to "use all means to ensure law and order, necessary for the voluntary return of the internally displaced to their place of origin".
Mr Hussein said the "obscene" casualty figures did not fully reflect the suffering of civilians as many had died "from the lack of access to basic food, water or medical care".
The most up-to-date UN estimate of internally displaced people in neighbouring Syria is 6.5 million, while more than 4.6 million others have fled to neighbouring states - including almost 245,000 to Iraq.
More than 250,000 people are estimated to have been killed since the conflict erupted there in 2011.
Tory MPs called the garments "beyond the pale" and "sickening". TUC general secretary Brendan Barber called them "tasteless and inappropriate".
The T-shirts were proving "very popular" with trade unionists, stall holder Colin Hampton said.
Baroness Thatcher, 86, has been in declining health in recent years and has withdrawn from public life.
Mr Hampton defended the T-shirts as representing "many" people's view of the former PM.
Lady Thatcher is unpopular with many trade unionists, who blame her for the "erosion" of workers' rights during the 1980s and the decline of industries including mining and heavy manufacturing.
Lady Thatcher's supporters argue that she revitalised the economy and improved the UK's standing in the world by bringing in free market reforms and reducing the influence of powerful trade unions.
In the Brighton Centre, where the TUC is holding its annual get-together, Mr Hampton, who works advising unemployed people in Derbyshire, said he was doing good business.
One T-shirt bears a picture of a gravestone, and states: "Thatcher: A generation of trade unionists will dance on Thatcher's grave."
Another shows a caricature puppet of Lady Thatcher and states: "Hey Ho The Witch is Dead."
The accompanying plastic packaging says: "In the event of the death of Thatcher, open bag and wear tee-shirt immediately."
Conservative MP Conor Burns told the Daily Telegraph the sentiment behind the T-shirts was "sickening".
"It shows an ugly side to the hard left who cannot move on from their utter defeat at the hands of this remarkable, but now frail, lady.
"Not for the first time Lady T shows why she amounts to so much more than her opponents."
Aiden Burley, Conservative MP for Cannock Chase, told the newspaper: "This sick merchandise tells you all you need to know about some in the union movement - baseless, cowardly and utterly devoid of morality.
"Those anticipating and celebrating the death of an elderly lady and mainstream Western leader are simply beyond the pale."
But Mr Hampton said: "Over the years we've sold hundreds of T-shirts."
He added: "She is going to die some day. The fact of the matter is when she dies there will be people who come out and say what a good person she was.
"But you ask many people in the regions of the country what they think and they are going to be appalled by the coverage."
Mr Hampton, whose stall also includes a giant snakes and ladders board based on people's "inability" to escape poverty, said: "People will be saying that she was a good woman and ignore most of the things she did...
"It isn't to everybody's taste and I appreciate that. But it's not about wishing anybody dead. It's not saying that. It's saying there will be a reaction when she dies.
"Some people say she was wonderful and they should be giving her a state funeral, but vast swathes will say there should not be."
He added: "In the spirit of Margaret Thatcher, I'm showing some entrepreneurial flair."
Dan Hodges, a former union official who writes regularly for the Daily Telegraph, said the T-shirts were "cowardly" and "utterly devoid of any morality" and should be withdrawn from sale.
The lexicographer selected surreal - which means "unbelievable, fantastic" - after spikes in searches following terrorist attacks and the US election.
The attacks in Brussels, the Bastille Day massacre in Nice and the attempted coup in Turkey all saw an increase in how often people searched for the word.
But the single biggest spike in look-ups came the day after Donald Trump's election, said Merriam-Webster.
"It just seems like one of those years," said Peter Sokolowski, the dictionary's editor at large.
"Surreal" is also defined as meaning "marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream", according to Merriam Webster.
It joins Oxford's "post-truth" and Dictionary.com's "xenophobia" as the top word of 2016.
There were also smaller jumps in searches for the word after the death of Prince in April and the June shootings at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
"Surreal" first emerged around 1924, when a group of European poets, artists and filmmakers founded the Surrealism movement, which focused on accessing the truths of the unconscious mind by breaking down rational thought.
Merriam-Webster, which first began tracking search trends in 1996, found a similar search spike for the word after the 9/11 attacks, according to Mr Sokolowski.
"We noticed the same thing after the Newtown shootings, after the Boston Marathon bombings, after Robin Williams' suicide," Mr Sokolowski said.
"Surreal has become this sort of word that people seek in moments of great shock and tragedy."
Other words that made the cut for top searches in 2016 are "bigly", a term attributed to President-elect Donald Trump, and "deplorable", which Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton used to describe Trump supporters.
Prosecutors say Abdoullah C was contacted by the cousin of suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud soon after the 13 November attacks.
Both Abaaoud, a Belgian national, and his cousin Hasna Aitboulahcen died five days later when police raided a flat near Paris where they were barricaded.
The suicide bombings and mass shootings were France's deadliest-ever attacks.
Few details have been released about the alleged role played by Abdoullah C, who is reported to have been arrested in a low-key operation in Brussels on Tuesday.
Police did not immediately announce his arrest in order to avoid alerting potential accomplices, a spokesman said. He appeared before a Brussels court on Thursday but his case was postponed, local media say.
Several phone calls were made between the suspect and Hasna Aitboulahcen "after the terrorist attacks and before the Seine-Saint-Denis raid", the Belgian prosecutor's spokesman said.
A decision on extending his detention was due to take place on Thursday.
Abdoullah C appeared in court alongside another suspect, Abraimi Lazez, according to reports. Lazez, 39, a Belgian of Moroccan descent, was arrested last month in the Belgian town of Laeken and is suspected of helping key suspect Salah Abdeslam flee France.
Police found two guns and traces of blood in a car connected to Mr Lazez but determined that the blood did not belong to Abdeslam and neither of the guns was capable of firing live ammunition.
Police are still searching for Mr Abdeslam, 26. They believe he took part in the 13 November attacks before contacting friends in Belgium to drive him back over the border to Brussels.
Despite a series of raids, police have failed to find him.
French police have conducted thousands of raids in connection with the Paris attacks. Hundreds of people have been placed under house arrest across France.
Thirty-one of the suspects are in custody while the others are still at large.
More than 70 people died in suicide attacks against churches in Cairo in December and in the cities of Tanta and Alexandria in April.
IS said it carried out the bombings.
In a statement on Sunday, public prosecutor Nabil Sadek said some of the suspects were leaders within IS and had formed cells in Cairo and the southern province of Qena to carry out the church attacks.
He said the militants were also responsible for killing eight police officers at a checkpoint in Egypt's Western Desert in January.
The attack in December killed 29 people at Saint Peter and Saint Paul Church in central Cairo, close to the headquarters of Coptic Pope Tawadros II.
In April, 45 worshippers celebrating Palm Sunday died in attacks at St George's Coptic church in Tanta and St Mark's in Alexandria.
IS has threatened more attacks on Egypt's Coptic Christians, who make up 10% of the population.
Egypt's President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi announced a three-month state of emergency after the attacks in April.
The Coptic Orthodox Church is the main Christian Church in Egypt. While most Copts live in Egypt, the Church has about a million members outside the country.
Copts believe that their Church dates back to around 50 AD, when the Apostle Mark is said to have visited Egypt. The head of the Church is called the Pope and is considered to be the successor of St Mark.
This makes it one of the earliest Christian groups outside the Holy Land.
The Church separated from other Christian denominations at the Council of Chalcedon (451 AD) in a dispute over the human and divine nature of Jesus Christ.
The early Church suffered persecution under the Roman Empire, and there were intermittent persecutions after Egypt became a Muslim country. Many believe that continues to this day.

Peter Moore, 28, from Bonhill, West Dunbartonshire, fatally stabbed 25-year-old Derek Moore at the flat in Glasgow's Govan area on 3 January.
The victim was stabbed four times and had a total of 75 injuries to his body.
At the High Court in Glasgow, Moore was told that he must serve a minimum of 18-and-a-half years before he can apply for parole.
Jailing him, judge Lady Wolffe told Moore: "You stand convicted of the murder of your own brother in the house of your mother.
"In convicting you the jury rejected your defence of self defence."
Lady Wolffe told Moore that although his brother was initially the aggressor by punching him, he had used a knife on him as he lay on the ground.
The court previously heard that Derek Moore suffered 70 wounds - many of them defensive.
He was stabbed four times and the fatal wound which caused massive internal bleeding was to his abdomen.
The court heard that a trail of blood leading from the flat to the common close was consistent with Derek Moore having been dragged out of the house and on to a downstairs landing.
Lady Wolffe told Moore: "You left him there to die. This was a prolonged and vicious attack.
"The crime of murder is a most egregious crime. You have doubly punished your family."
Moore's trial heard that on a previous occasion Derek Moore had broken his brother's jaw.
That fight took place in front of a six-year-old boy, who was also present at the early stages of the fatal fight before being taken away by his mother.
Peter Moore's partner Ashley Picken, 24, told of how she was woken up by the sound of the brothers arguing and fighting.
When asked how Derek Moore had been earlier that night she replied: "He was angry."
She told prosecutor Paul Kearney: "I looked out into the hallway and I saw Peter standing over Derek with a knife in his hand hitting Derek. He was hitting Derek in the legs and the side of his body with the knife.
"Derek was lying down on the floor on his back."
Moore later told police: "When we fight, we fight for hours. I can't remember arguing with him. He's pure evil when he's been drinking. He started it."
He also said: "I said I wasn't going to fight with him again."
Moore, who has a number of previous convictions, including some for violence, did not give evidence during the trial.
Plans for a 32-cell custody suite at Llay, Wrexham, have been submitted to Wrexham council.
The new station would be energy efficient with solar panels on the roof and energy-saving lighting.
North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Winston Roddick said the town's current station was "no longer fit for purpose" and the new station would be "more economical".
It was suspended after the Wales Audit Office began what was its most complex ever investigation.
I set out the details in Week In Week Out.
The £30m which has sat in the bank account will now be spent directly by ministers in the field of regeneration.
Remove the money and you remove the point of RIFW's existence, although that has yet to be confirmed by the Welsh government.
The political fallout will roll into the autumn, when the public accounts committee at the assembly begins its inquiry into what went wrong at the fund.
There was plenty of criticism of the Welsh government in the report, but from a ministerial perspective there was no smoking gun.
The length of time it took to develop the idea, and then implement RIFW, makes it difficult for critics, led by the Conservatives, to maintain political pressure on any one individual.
But the thrust of the criticism from the Tories is serious for the Welsh government.
The accusation is that at a time of complaints about the financial settlement from Westminster by Labour Welsh government ministers, this was an example of a failure by those very same ministers to maximise the assets under their control.
It would be serious at the best of times but at a time of austerity, even more so.
There are some key questions for the public accounts committee to try to get to the bottom of.
Among them will be to hear from senior government officials and advisors about why key information was not passed on to the board, such as the true market value of the sites and the true time-scale that needed to be followed.
It's also a striking feature of this story that after three years, no-one can actually say with any degree of certainty how much the taxpayer will receive as a result of the deal.
In terms of the legacy of RIFW, it will probably become less likely that the Welsh government will set up new semi-autonomous bodies to deliver transport or economic development policies in future.
There's no shortage of task and finish groups and advisory panels but the RIFW experience is likely to mean that they remain exactly that, advice groups, rather than bodies with budgets.
The Great Bear Rainforest on the Pacific coast of British Columbia is home to many animals and ancient trees.
Logging will be banned across a huge area of the forest.
Environmental campaigners say the deal is a model for resolving similar land-use disputes around the world.
The forest is inhabited by the spirit bear, a rare sub-species of the black bear with white fur, and is also home to 26 aboriginal groups, known as First Nations.
"The Great Bear Rainforest, there's no question, it's a jewel in the crown of magnificent landscapes in British Columbia," Premier Christy Clark said on Monday.
She said the "landmark agreement" would protect old and second-growth forest, while simultaneously providing economic opportunities for aboriginal people and local communities.
The province is expected to sign the new measures - which have been drafted after 10 years of often tense negotiations between the various concerned parties - into law in the spring.
The agreement bans logging in 85% of the rainforest and brings an end to hunting of the grizzly bear within First Nations territories. It also abolishes hunting in the region for the spirit bear, also known as the kermode bear.
The remaining 15% of the ancient forest will be subject to stringent standards applied elsewhere in North America for commercial logging.
The deal has been ratified by 26 aboriginal tribes that live alongside British Columbia's coast, several environmental groups and five forestry companies.

Parents with children at Hunters Bar Junior School were sent a letter telling them a girl in Year 5 had died on Tuesday.
The letter said the probable cause was the meningococcal bacteria, which can cause meningitis.
Head teacher Jill Hallsworth said the child had a "beautiful personality... she was special and will be missed".
People likely to have been in closest contact with her have been identified and offered antibiotics.
Ms Hallsworth said: "We are all just so sad that a member of our school community has died but we are taking a lot of time to remember her beautiful personality.
"She was a genuinely good person and helped everyone she could. She was special and will be missed. Our thoughts are very much with the family at this difficult time."
A Sheffield City Council statement said: "We are working with the school community to support them during this difficult time and our deepest thoughts are with the child's family and loved ones."

Carl Marsh suffered fatal injuries at Black Knights Parachute Centre in Cockerham, near Lancaster, on Saturday.
Paramedics were called to the site but the 46-year-old from Knutsford, Cheshire, was pronounced dead.
Lancashire Police and the British Parachute Association are investigating but there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.
Mr Marsh's relatives released a statement paying tribute to the "much-loved" family man.
They added: "Carl was taken away from us so suddenly that this just doesn't feel real.
"His enormous heart was big enough for every one of us and he lived life to the full.
"He was a leader and admired by so many, and his son Craig says he was his hero."
Det Insp Simon Ball said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of this man and in particular those who witnessed this tragic incident yesterday.
"During our initial investigation at the scene, we saw nothing that suggested any sign of suspicious activity.
"We are working with the British Parachute Association who are now in charge of investigating the incident, and have been conducting enquiries on their behalf."
Dancers from the Rirratjingu clan, carrying clap sticks and spears, their faces painted white, performed outside parliament in Canberra.
The group urged action against a problem that disproportionately affects indigenous women.
Aborigine women are 34 times more likely to be victims than other women.
"We are seeing horrifying rates of family violence in indigenous communities and it is incumbent on all people - community leaders, political leaders and businesses - to act to drive it down," Rirratjingu elder Bakamumu Marika said.
The group, which travelled from Yirrkala in the Northern Territory, were met by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
He linked arms with lawmakers of various parties, including opposition leader Bill Shorten, as a sign of solidarity.
First Aboriginal woman MP makes history
Violence amid a life of luxury
Speaking afterwards, Mr Turnbull highlighted stark figures which show the scale of the problem, including that indigenous women were admitted to hospital for domestic assaults 30 times more often than other Australian women.
However, the community around Yirrkala had reduced family violence by 29% in a single year through programmes aimed at fostering respect for women, Mr Turnbull added.
"Your dance is more powerful than the words we can speak here," Mr Turnbull said. "You're using the strength of your culture to seek to stop this violence.
"You're using the power of you dance, your tradition, your culture, to communicate our need, our duty to respect women, and we thank you."
He concluded: "We can and we must do better."
Mr Turnbull later moved a motion in Parliament acknowledging that violence against women was a national issue that required a response from the entire community, as the Rirratjingu people watched from the public gallery.
Recorder Jason Dunn-Shaw, of Maidstone Chambers in Kent, is understood to have called one man a "donkey" and others "narrow-minded and bigoted".
He also accused others of commenting "without thinking things through".
Mr Dunn-Shaw told KentOnline - the site where the comments were posted - he was "dismayed" he had been sacked.
Dunn-Shaw was commenting on news stories relating to a case for which he was sitting as a judge at Canterbury Crown Court, and another for which he was a barrister.
The Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) said his behaviour was "below standard".
The judge told the BBC he would be appealing to the Ombudsman "to complain about the procedure, which to my mind was flawed and unfair".
In quotes to KentOnline, he said the JCOI accepted his comments were made under a pseudonym.
He added: "Their other condemnation is of comments I made on the pages of Facebook friends which I believed to have been private.
"It seems to me unfair that the tracking of anonymous material places me where I am now."
Mr Dunn-Shaw - who has experience in both prosecution and defence - has worked on more than 45 murder trials during his career, as well as death by dangerous driving, drugs smuggling, sexual offences and fraud.
A spokesman for the JCIO said: "In his own name he used publicly available social media sites to post material or not remove material which was not compatible with the dignity of judicial office or suggested a lack of impartiality on matters of public controversy.
"The Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice concluded that this behaviour fell below the standard expected of a judicial office holder and have removed Mr Dunn-Shaw from judicial office."
Ballynafeigh Police Station was closed on 21 February and people are now asked to attend Musgrave Street or Lisburn Road stations, except in emergency.
The closure came despite extensive work to renovate the building.
Police have said that they released a press statement about the station's closure in January this year.
A spokesperson added that the enquiry offices at the stations had been replaced with "user-friendly and conveniently located community surgeries".
A number of shop owners in the area said they had been robbed in recent weeks and were not happy with the station's closure to the public.
"I think we should have been informed," local pharmacist Gary Jones said.
"The fact that there are these lovely walls and there is nobody behind them seems like a waste of taxpayers' money."
Mr Smith said he would be a loyal MP but did not want to engage in "futile" work as Mr Corbyn could not win power.
But Mr Corbyn told a hustings event in Gateshead that Labour had grown "enormously" under his leadership.
The Court of Appeal is to rule later on whether recently-joined members will be allowed to vote in the contest.
The party's ruling National Executive Committee had previously blocked Labour members who joined after 12 January from voting unless they paid £25.
But five new members succeeded in getting the decision overturned in the High Court earlier this week - Labour subsequently appealed against that decision.
On Thursday evening, Smith and Corbyn clashed over Brexit but found some agreement on other policies.
The hustings in Gateshead, hosted by Sky's Sophy Ridge, was plunged into darkness for a minute as the rivals debated the UK's Trident nuclear weapons system.
Former work and pensions spokesman Mr Smith is challenging Mr Corbyn for Labour's top job, after the leader lost a no-confidence vote of his MPs.
Many of his own MPs felt Mr Corbyn, who won a landslide victory to become Labour leader last year, had not campaigned vigorously enough for a "Remain" vote in the EU Referendum.
Mr Smith was among dozens of Labour MPs to resign from Mr Corbyn's front bench in protest at his leadership.
At the hustings, Mr Corbyn said he had been "shocked and disappointed" by the referendum result but added: "We now have to face the facts - the country voted for a Leave decision in that referendum."
He said Britain must now ensure workers' rights, human rights, environmental protection and access to European markets were protected.
But Mr Smith said he believed Labour had "not fought anywhere near hard enough" to speak up for Europe and that the leadership shown by Mr Corbyn "was not sufficient".
To boos from the audience, he told Mr Corbyn: "You never really bought into the idea of the European Union" and said there could be a case for a second referendum, if the deal on offer proved to be a bad one.
Mr Corbyn told him: "I think we have to recognise that whatever we feel about it, there's a result from that referendum which we have to work with."
There was passion and humour in the Labour hustings. At one point, the stage lights failed and the diminutive Owen Smith joked that he could now pass himself off as "the tall one".
But any wise-cracking camaraderie evaporated when the discussion moved on to what would happen after the leadership election.
Jeremy Corbyn appealed to Labour MPs to get "back on board" and pledged to create a shadow cabinet of all the talents
But that option may not be open to him. While Owen Smith said he'd have the current leader on his front bench, he made it clear he would not serve in a shadow cabinet led by Jeremy Corbyn.
Owen Smith's position is significant because if he now believes it would be pointless to return to a Jeremy Corbyn frontbench then many others in the Parliamentary party who backed a motion of no confidence in their leader are likely to agree.
So Labour's internal strife could continue long after the leadership election is over.
Following discussions about Britain's Trident nuclear weapons, gender inequality, the NHS and economic policy, Mr Corbyn was asked if he would serve in the shadow cabinet, should he lose the leadership contest to Mr Smith.
Mr Corbyn said he did not think it was likely Mr Smith would offer me anything." He pledged to make sure the "political spectrum" within the party was represented in his shadow cabinet.
Mr Smith told him "I would absolutely want you to be in the shadow cabinet if I was leader".
When asked if that meant he was "going to come back" to the shadow cabinet, Mr Smith replied: "No, I've lost confidence in you. I will serve Labour on the backbenches, because I'm Labour to my bones... But I would serve this party on the backbenches loyally. I won't do what Jeremy Corbyn did and won't vote against this party, my party, 500 times.
Mr Corbyn said that was "genuinely disappointing to me" as he had been pleased when Mr Smith became shadow work and pensions secretary last year: "I would've thought you would want to continue that kind of work."
Mr Smith replied: "I do, Jeremy, but I don't want it to be fruitless, futile work. I want it to be work that is leading to a Labour government that allows me to put into practice what I want to preach to the country. I don't want to be engaged in a protest movement talking to itself."
He said Labour was at 26% in the polls, its lowest point since 1982, and Mr Corbyn "cannot lead us back to power".
But Mr Corbyn, who was cheered several times during the event, told him: "Since the election last summer our party has grown enormously, 300,000 new members have joined because they want to see this country governed and run in a different way.
"And that has had an effect, we've had victories in Parliament, we've had election victories in by-elections, council elections and mayoral elections and our party has to adapt to a new way of working, we are now such a large organisation we've got to be and should be and must be involved in every single community in this country."
He said shadow chancellor John McDonnell had put together an economic strategy and analysis and said: "I say to all members of the Parliamentary Labour Party: Let's get on board and get together and put it to the Tories."
The Labour leadership contest result will be announced on 24 September.
The union said MV Daroja workers were paid £2.56 per hour on freight routes between Aberdeen and Orkney and Shetland in January.
The RMT said the situation was a "disgrace" and called for action.
Streamline Shipping said it had been assured that terms and conditions offered were "entirely compatible" with all legislation.
The company said MV Daroja was "fully EU compliant".
The girls, who all attended Bethnal Green Academy in Tower Hamlets, travelled to Turkey on Tuesday.
They told their parents they were going for a day out but Gatwick airport CCTV shows them passing through security.
The three families have released statements, saying they are "extremely worried" about the girls.
We miss you terribly and are extremely worried about you.
Please, if you hear this message, get in touch and let us know you are safe. We want you home with us. You belong at home with us.
Syria is a dangerous place and we don't want you to go there. Get in touch with the police and they will help to bring you home. You are not in any trouble.
We understand that you have strong feelings and want to help those you believe are suffering in Syria. You can help from home, you don't have to put yourself in danger.
Please don't cross the border. Please come home to us.
Our mum needs you home and is really worried. We are not mad at you, we love you.
Our dearest Kadiza and the two friends accompanying you, we, together, sincerely pray and hope this message reaches you.
We pray that no harm comes to you, and you are all safe and in good health.
We have come to learn that you and your friends went missing on Tuesday, 17 February and have been identified to be in Turkey.
In your absence, we, as a family, are feeling completely distressed and cannot make sense of why you left home. Due to the speculation that you may be travelling towards Syria, we are extremely worried about your safety.
As time progresses, our concerns are increasing more and more.
We are sending you our heartfelt love, and continue to pray that you along with your friends safely return to us, or at least contact us to let us know you are okay.
We all love you dearly and the last four days have been a complete nightmare not knowing where you are and how you are keeping.
We would like to emphasise that we are not angry with you and you have not done anything wrong. We just want you all to return home, safe and sound.
We miss you terribly, especially mum, and things have not been the same without you.
Amira, We miss you so much, everyone, your family and your friends.
We want you to come home as soon as possible. All we are hoping for is you to come home safe, we love you so much.
Please come home Amira, everyone is missing you. You are strong, smart, beautiful and we are hoping you will make the right decision.
We miss you more that you can imagine. We are worried and we want you to think about what you have left behind.
You had a bright future, so please return home.

Chris Hazzard made the statement after local residents said they feared human error or equipment failure could lead to a cyanide spill.
The claim has been rejected by the company.
No planning application has yet been submitted but is expected to be put in early next year.
The chemical is used in part of the processing system but Dalriadian, the company planning the mine said it will be heavily regulated and does not pose a risk to the public or the environment.
Some people living near the proposed facility remain vehemently opposed.
Patrick Anderson, the chief executive of Dalradian, said he would welcome a public inquiry.
"I think it would be a further forum to engage locally and hear more fully what the complaints and the support is for the project so you could have a more informed decision for the minister when it comes to deciding whether to grant planning permission or not," he said.
Dalradian had said it can get millions of ounces of gold from the Sperrins over the 25-year life of the mine, creating hundreds of jobs in construction and operation.
The minister added that his department had been in meetings with Dalradian over the last year as part of "pre-application discussions to scope the extent of information that will be needed should they decide to submit a planning application for the proposal".
"It is already clear that the planning application, if submitted, will be both complex and controversial involving a wide range of views and in depth information to assess the potential socio-economic and environmental impacts, both positive and negative, of the proposed development," Mr Hazzard said.
The announcement has been welcomed by Sinn Féin MLA Declan McAleer.
"The proposal is only 1,200 metres from the local primary school and GAA ground and there is a real concern in the local area about the lack of public consultation in Greencastle village, which would have made it more accessible for local people.
"Hopefully, this move by the minister will allow people to get answers to their questions and to voice their concerns," he said.
A planning application will be lodged in 2017 if a feasibility study proves the project is economically viable.
The company said it would have between five and 20 tonnes of cyanide on site at any time with at least one delivery a week.
A diluted cyanide solution will be used to separate tiny gold particles from a portion of the crushed ore.
It will be transported and stored in solid briquettes in which form it is inert.
A number of groups have been set up to oppose the plan.
The Save Our Sperrins group said it is worried about potential water and air pollution.
However, Dalradian said the use of cyanide will be heavily regulated.
The company said the 10% of crushed ore that is treated with it will go through a final process to destroy most of the cyanide.
It will then be pumped back underground in the form of a cement paste to backfill the blast holes.
It claims that paste will contain only "trace" amounts of the toxin and that there would be more naturally-occurring cyanide in "a handful of chewed almonds".
Mr Pataki, who served as governor from 1995 to 2006, is positioning himself as a moderate in a heavily conservative field.
He joins seven other Republicans who have announced their campaigns, and several others who are expected to announce in the coming weeks.
After leaving the governor's office, he served as a UN delegate.
Mr Pataki launched a fundraising "super-Pac" earlier this year - a standard move for a politician considering running for America's highest office.
But his campaign was officially kicked off in a video posted to his website on Thursday morning.
In the video, titled George Pataki For President, he played up his role as a Republican governor in a state dominated by Democrats.
"Washington has grown too big, too powerful, too expensive and too intrusive," he said. "This is exactly what the founding fathers feared...It is time to stand up, protect our freedom and take back this government".
Amid thumping music, the campaign video pointed to his leadership during the attacks of 11 September 2001, and stressed that he would be a unifying candidate.
Since leaving elected office in the middle of the last decade, Mr Pataki has struck a moderate tone in the news media.
Could a former Republican governor from a large state who hasn't held public office in more than eight years have a shot at winning the Republican presidential nomination in 2016?
If the man's last name is Bush, the answer is yes. If it's Pataki, the odds are significantly longer.
So why does Jeb Bush of Florida consistently sit near the top of polls and dominate campaign fundraising, while George Pataki - the man who, along with Mayor Rudy Giuliani, became the face of New York's response to the September 11 attacks - barely move the needle?
There's the name, of course. But it's also likely the fact that Mr Pataki is part of a dying breed of Northeast Republican moderates who blend fiscal conservatism with social positions closer to those of the political left. He's in favour of same-sex marriage, supports legalised abortions and backs robust environmental regulation, for instance.
Once upon a time candidates with these kinds of views were a force in the Republican Party. Those days are long past, however.
In recent months, he has criticised so-called Religious Freedom bills that many conservative Republicans support.
He has also been critical of of Republican lawmakers who wrote to Iranian leaders while the Obama Administration was negotiating Iran's nuclear programme. He called their actions "inappropriate".
Mr Pataki made his first public appearance as a candidate later on Thursday when he spoke in Exeter, New Hampshire.
Experts collected DNA samples from the crash site, which will now be tested to verify passengers' identities.
An access road to the site in the French Alps has also been completed to speed up the recovery of remains.
Meanwhile, Lufthansa has put aside an additional $300m (€280m; £200m) to cover costs associated with the crash.
Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings, said the money would cover "all costs arising in connection with the case".
Germany says that the cash is separate from the €50,000 ($54,250; £36,720) available to the relatives of each passenger to cover short-term expenses.
Airlines are obliged to compensate relatives for proven damages of up to a limit of about $157,000 (€135,000; £145,000), regardless of what caused the crash. Higher compensation is possible if an airline is held liable.
None of the victims were found intact after the plane's 700kph (430mph) impact, but different strands of DNA have been identified at the site.
Earlier on Tuesday, the head of the criminal research institute at France's National Gendarmerie was reported as saying that DNA identification of the victims would take two to four months.
But Mr Hollande said the French interior minister had confirmed that the process would be completed "by the end of the week at the latest".
Speaking at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, Mr Hollande said "exceptional scientific work" had been carried out by the recovery team.
Germanwings flight 4U 9525 crashed near the French Alpine village of Le Vernet on 24 March, flying from Barcelona to Duesseldorf.
The cockpit voice recorder suggested co-pilot Andreas Lubitz flew into a mountainside deliberately after locking pilot Patrick Sondenheimer out of the cockpit.
All 150 people on board the aircraft were killed.
Rescuers have warned the operation to remove their remains could take several months, but the access road would "accelerate the work", said Philippe Sansa of the rescue service.
"It will be much easier not to have to depend on the weather," he told the Associated Press news agency.
Andreas Lubitz: Germanwings co-pilot
Who was Andreas Lubitz?
On Monday it emerged that Lubitz, 27, had at one point received treatment for suicidal tendencies before getting his pilot licence.
Lufthansa says that Lubitz's medical records were subject to doctor-patient confidentiality and it had no knowledge of their contents.
The company has announced it has cancelled plans to celebrate its 60th anniversary on 15 April.
On 17 April, the airline will broadcast live coverage of a state memorial service at Cologne Cathedral.
The data recorder, which tracks the plane's altitude, speed and direction, has not yet been found.
Lufthansa board chairman Kay Kratky on Monday warned it may have been too badly damaged and may not be sending signals.
Unanswered questions
What drives people to murder-suicide?
The former prime minister, in an interview for the BBC News Channel on the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 attacks in London, said Islamist extremism had spread "right across the world".
"The threat is not going away and will intensify in time to come," he said.
The West, he said, had to show it had "the means of combating these people and combating them on the ground".
Prime Minister David Cameron has said the threat facing the UK is "as real as it is deadly" but the country will never be "cowed" by terrorism.
Mr Blair was in power when the UK suffered the single worst terrorist attack in its history, when 52 people were killed and hundreds injured in a series of bombings on London's Tube and bus network on 7 July 2005.
The families of those who died, as well as some of the injured, will attend a service at St Paul's Cathedral later while a minute's silence will be held during the service and on London's transport network at 11:30 BST.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Blair rejected any suggestion that those attacks had been prompted by British interventions in Iraq or Afghanistan, which had themselves between a response to the 11 September 2001 terrorist atrocities in the US.
"I think it's very important to understand that the probable leader of the 7/7 attacks was someone who was first in a training camp in the middle of 2001, before 9/11, never mind before the invasion of Afghanistan or the invasion of Iraq and the difficulty is that there will always be reason and excuses that people use for terrorism," he said.
"You have countries like France today that's the subject of terrorism or Norway or Belgium or Tunisia or Kuwait or countries across Africa, none of whom had anything to do with British or American foreign policy and yet whose citizens come under this type of violent and indiscriminate killing so I think in the end, the responsibility has got to lie with the people who carry this out and those who encourage them."
Islamist terrorism had proliferated in the 10 years since 7/7, he said, and was now a global phenomenon, with terrorist training camps spreading from Iraq and Syria to Libya and North Africa.
The fight against terrorism, he insisted, was "not something we have caused but something that we are caught up in" and would have to be waged "by all means possible".
"You're not going to reduce this threat of terrorism unless you have a comprehensive strategy to deal with it which requires the battle of ideas but it also requires the force on the ground to fight them," he said.
Mr Blair warned that if the international community was not prepared to tackle extremists groups such as Islamic State head on they would continue to grow.
"When you fight these people it's going to be tough because they're prepared to kill without mercy and die without regret and that makes them an enemy that may not have the same conventional military capability but has certainly got the determination to fight."
Pressed over whether the response should involve British boots on the ground, he said: "This is maybe a discussion for another day."
Amid a growing debate in the UK as to whether air strikes against Islamic State should be extended beyond Iraq, Mr Blair - who recently stepped down as a Middle East peace envoy after eight years in the role - said militant groups were now based in a number of countries, including Syria and Libya.
He added: "I don't criticise Western leadership today but I do say this is a long hard struggle and we've got to be prepared to engage over a long period of time because at the time of 7/7, we faced people who had been radicalised over a period of time.
"But we face a situation today where you have fighters coming back from Syria who are our own citizens. You have training camps actually in Libya not just in Syria, in Iraq and elsewhere and this threat is not going away. It will intensify in time to come."
Neel Croos, 26, died from a head injury following a fight in Holborn Way, Mitcham on 23 November.
Gowrishanth Loganathan, 21, of Cambridge Road, Mitcham and Mohanran Parimalanathan, 22, of Stafford Road, Wallington have been charged with murder.
Both will appear before Wimbledon Magistrates' court.
They have also been charged with violent disorder and Mr Parimalanathan with possessing an offensive weapon.
Three other men have previously been charged with the murder of Mr Croos, while a 23-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder on 17 December has been bailed until January.
Five further men arrested in connection with the fight have all been released with no further action.
The attack on Iraqi forces was said to have been carried out by a militant named as "Abu Musa al-Britani".
The Awan family, from Huddersfield, claim a photograph of al-Britani, released by the so-called Islamic State (IS) group, was Mohammed Rizwan Awan.
IS claim that 30 people died in the attack, a figure denied by the Iraqi military.
Awan, 27, is understood to have attacked the convoy after it had left Ain al-Assad military air base and was heading towards Kubaysah in the north-west of Anbar province.
The Iraqi authorities said only the bomber was killed.
According to BBC Look North's community correspondent Sabbiyah Perrvez, who spoke to Awan's family, they recognised the photograph instantly and said they "knew in their hearts" it was him.
He had left the UK in 2015 ostensibly to visit Mecca, but his family have not heard from him since.
Letters found at his home said he did not plan to return to the UK and intended to settle in Saudi Arabia, the family said.
His identity has not been confirmed by the British Government or Iraqi officials.
If al-Britani is confirmed to be Awan, he will be the latest suicide bomber to have come from West Yorkshire.
In 2015, Talha Asmal, 17, from Dewsbury, was one of four suicide bombers who carried out attacks near an oil refinery south of Baiji in Iraq.

Kyle Naughton is fit after sitting out two games with a hamstring problem, while all of Swansea's international players are available.
Middlesbrough are bolstered by the availability of defender Daniel Ayala following a hamstring problem.
George Friend and Calum Chambers are also close to returning after respective calf and foot injuries.
Alistair Mann: "After seemingly starting to pull clear of trouble, two successive defeats to sides in a similar plight have drawn Swansea back into the dogfight once again. They can ill afford a third.
"That said, the situation of their weekend visitors is even more desperate - a fourth defeat in a row might cause Middlesbrough to be cast adrift of the safety line.
"The last time Boro registered three points was before Christmas, when they recorded their biggest victory of the campaign, with the Swans their beleaguered opponents.
"As then, Swansea's Achilles heel remains their defensive frailties. Middlesbrough's has been in attack, and with both acutely aware of the damaging effect of a defeat it's all set to be a frantic tussle."

Swansea head coach Paul Clement on reports Gylfi Sigurdsson has said he wants to play for a 'big' club: "I've no problem with Gylfi saying that because what I see in him is a player very motivated to play well here and help us remain in this league.
"I've had no conversation with him about going elsewhere. Everything has been about training hard and doing his best for Swansea every day. I see it in the extra work he puts in and, that for me, is no coincidence why he is such a good player.
"But we shouldn't worry about this. Our focus now is on preparing for Middlesbrough and the next nine games."
Middlesbrough head coach Steve Agnew: "Paul Clement is a very, very good English coach and he'll have them well organised with creative players going forward.
"We haven't scored enough goals. We have to now think of way to create more chances. And converting those chances.
"Lots of ideas have gone into the players and I'm sure they'll respond."
Swansea will look at this as a game they need to win for several reasons, one of which is they will go eight points above Middlesbrough if they do.

Historians believe Allied bombardments killed almost as many French people as German bombs killed Britons during the Blitz.
According to research carried out by Andrew Knapp, history professor at the UK's University of Reading, British, American and Canadian air raids resulted in 57,000 French civilian losses in World War Two.
"That's a figure slightly below, but comparable to, the 60,500 the British lost as a result of Luftwaffe bombing over the same period," says Knapp who is the co-author of Forgotten Blitzes and a book just published in France called Les francais sous les bombes alliees 1940-1945 (The French Under Allied Bombardment).
"It is also true that France took seven times the tonnage of [Allied] bombs that the UK took [from Nazi Germany]," says Knapp. "Roughly 75,000 tonnes of bombs were dropped on the UK [including Hitler's V missiles]. In France, it's in the order of 518,000 tonnes," he says.
Winston Churchill, who addressed the French over the airwaves with confidence and even a certain relish in their own language, spoke to them as Allies despite the collaboration with the Nazis of a part of the French population.
But the bombing tactics employed did not always reflect this.
Knapp divides the Allied bombardments into three categories: "Some did manage to be accurate and cause minimal civilian casualties.
"The second category, you can see why they did it but the level of civilian casualties might be considered disproportionate to the military advantage. And the third category it's really quite hard to understand, even with hindsight, why they did it at all."
The most disturbing example is the bombing of Le Havre in September 1944. Nearly all of the city was reduced to ash and 5,000 French men, women and children were killed. Allied infantry took the port a few days later but, many believe, they would have done it without the bombardment.
"It's fairly clear," says Knapp, "that on the basis of the treaties we have signed now - not the treaties we had signed then - some of these raids would be eligible for the category of war crimes."
Catherine Monfajon, author of a documentary on the subject that has just been shown on French TV, says the French often showed great spirit.
At the funeral for more than 100 French apprentices killed in an Allied air raid on St Nazaire, when a Vichy official started speaking about "birds of death", a whistle of disapproval rose from the very gallery where the parents of the dead boys were standing.
At the end of the War, St Nazaire was recorded as "100% destroyed" but talking about the destruction in this and 1,500 other towns was taboo.
"That silence is amazing and amazed me," says Monfajon. "France was the third country most bombed by the Allies after Germany and Japan and it is hardly mentioned in our history books."
This was largely because of the way the collaborationist Vichy regime used these casualties in their propaganda in order to turn public opinion against the Allies.
Even so much as questioning the bombing was considered suspect, she says. "And people were split between their pain, their anger and their gratitude towards these pilots who brought them freedom. Who died for that."
As the bombing of French cities intensified around D-Day, Churchill expressed concern that the scale of civilian casualties could durably damage Anglo-French relations even after the war was won.
Arthur "Bomber" Harris, head of RAF Bomber Command, wanted all his bombers pounding Germany.
Although apparently untroubled by the carnage inflicted on German civilians, he was pained by French casualties to the point of collecting money to send to help Allied bombing orphans.
Almost half of Bomber Command's airmen were killed in action. Their missions, their commanders argued, would help win the war more quickly.
But as the French are finally daring to say, the liberation of Normandy towns like Saint Lo, Caen and Le Havre turned them into wastelands of rubble and ash.
On D-Day itself, 2,500 Allied soldiers were killed. About the same number of French civilians were killed also.
Not heroes perhaps. But as the French president will affirm on the landing beaches on 6 June, their sacrifice for freedom was great.
The British retailer suspended its site for two hours on Tuesday night to fix the problem.
It said the glitch was the result of an internal error, rather than of an external hack attack.
It added that its customers' full credit card details were not among the exposed information.
However, personal data, including names, dates of birth, contacts and previous orders were shown.
One user told the BBC he had seen another person's account details when he tried to register a store loyalty card.
"It accepted my registration but then told me i had 9,000 sparks points which i thought was a bit odd," said Mark Hill.
"So, I looked at the account details and despite saying 'hi Mark' , it was quite clearly an account belonging to a female in a different part of the country."
A call centre employee who handles complaints for the firm recounted another incident.
"One woman contacted me and informed me that 'a bloke from the other side of the country' had contacted her by telephone because he had seen all her details while using the M&S website, and felt she should know about it," he said.
"Many callers were anxious and very concerned - they understood the seriousness of the situation.
"It took nearly an hour before the website was shut down - something one tech guy told me should have been done as soon as the problem was recognised."
Marks and Spencer has apologised for the glitch.
"Due to a technical issue, we temporarily suspended our website yesterday evening," an M&S spokesman said.
"This allowed us to thoroughly investigate and resolve the issue and quickly restore service for our customers."
It is not yet clear how many people's details were seen by other M&S customers as a result of the fault.
Mr Cameron is visiting Amritsar in the state of Punjab on Wednesday, at the end of a three-day trade trip to India.
This was where hundreds of people at a public meeting were shot dead by British troops in 1919.
The prime minister described the massacre as "a deeply shameful event in British history".
Writing in the memorial book of condolence, he added: "We must never forget what happened here."
He later defended his decision not to offer a formal apology saying the British government had "rightly condemned" the massacre at the time.
"I don't think the right thing is to reach back into history and to seek out things that we should apologise for. I think the right thing to do is to acknowledge what happened, to recall what happened, to show respect and understanding for what happened," he added.
While Mr Cameron was in India, a Downing Street source told the BBC that the Red Arrows - the RAF's famous display team - was safe as long as he was prime minister.
The RAF has offered its expertise to the Indian military to enable its Surya Kiran display team to conduct similar colourful flypasts.
There has been speculation in the media that the Red Arrows could be axed as part of defence cuts in the UK.
What David Cameron did not apologise forUK PMs' apologies for the past
Thousands of people gathered at the Jallianwala Bagh public gardens in Amritsar on 13 April 1919.
British colonial authorities had banned public meetings and a general was sent in to disperse the crowds.
Without warning, he blocked the exits and ordered his riflemen to open fire. They stopped 10 minutes later when their ammunition ran out.
The death toll is disputed - an inquiry set up by the colonial authorities put the figure at 379 but Indian sources put it nearer to 1,000.
Past prime ministers have expressed their regret, but Mr Cameron is the first to pay his respects at the site in person.
The prime minister laid a wreath at the Jallianwala Bagh memorial, bowing his head and standing in silence.
The killings were condemned by the British at the time - War Secretary Winston Churchill described them as "monstrous" in 1920.
During her visit in 1997, the Queen said it was a "distressing" example of the "moments of sadness" in the history between Britain and India.
Mr Cameron wants his visit to focus on more positive ties of history, particularly by visiting the Golden Temple at Amritsar, the holiest site in the Sikh religion.
The prime minister, bare-footed and wearing a blue bandanna to cover his head, also visited the kitchens which feed thousands of pilgrims every day and tried his hand at flipping chapatis.
Later he said: "In coming here to Amritsar, we should celebrate the immense contribution that people from the Punjab play in Britain, the role they play, what they give to our country.
"What they contribute to our country is outstanding and it is important to understand that and pay respect to that and to seek a greater understanding of the Sikh religion and that is why this visit to the holy temple, the Golden Temple, was so important."
In 1984 the Golden Temple was invaded by Indian troops seeking to flush out militants who wanted an independent Sikh state in the Punjab.
Operation Blue Star enraged many Sikhs and the Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards.
Retired Lieutenant General Kuldip Singh Brar, who led Operation Blue Star, was attacked in London during a visit in October.
Several people are awaiting trial accused of causing him grievous bodily harm.
On Tuesday, Mr Cameron held talks with his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh.
The trade delegation, accompanying the prime minister, includes representatives from BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, London Underground and the English Premier League.
The ex-supermodel alleged that they falsely called her a liar after she claimed the comedian sexually assaulted her three decades ago.
Los Angeles County Superior Court ruled Cosby and his former lawyer Martin Singer must give sworn depositions before 25 November.
Cosby's lawyers said they would appeal.
Neither Cosby, 78, nor Dickinson, 60, attended the hearing on Monday.
More than 50 women have accused the comedian of sexual assault. He has never been charged for any of the alleged crimes. In most cases, the alleged incidents date back decades, meaning they fall outside the time limit for legal action.
Reuters said it is the second time in two months that Cosby will be required to testify under oath in response to a complaint of sexual misconduct against him.
Mr Singer, an LA lawyer, represented Cosby until he was replaced last month with a new legal team.
Last year, Dickinson had claimed Cosby drugged and raped her in a hotel in Lake Tahoe in 1982.
Speaking at the time, Mr Singer labelled Dickinson's allegations as "false and outlandish".
It happened at about 01:30 on Saturday on a lane between Great Western Road and the Auchentoshan Estate.
Police said an 18-year-old man and three boys aged 15 were "intentionally targeted" by another group of men.
They are treating the incident as attempted murder and have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
The four teenagers were taken to hospital. Two of the 15-year-olds were suffering life threatening injuries. The 18-year-old and the other 15-year-old were released after treatment.
Det Sgt Darren Munogee said: "This type of violence will not be tolerated on our streets and I would offer reassurance to the public that we are doing all we can to trace the people responsible.
"Although the exact motive is still to be ascertained, we believe that the victims were intentionally targeted.
"We have a dedicated team that will trace the persons responsible. Our inquiries are continuing. We have utilised specialist search and forensic teams and are continuing to analyse available CCTV.
"We have increased our high visiblity patrols in the area and officers are continuing to conduct door-to-door inquiries."
The band of rain which fell on Tuesday cleared by Wednesday morning but more bad weather is set to move in.
Natural Resources Wales has four flood alerts in place for Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.
The Met Office has issued yellow "be aware" warnings for strong winds in the same area on Thursday and for heavy rain across south and mid Wales.
It warned travel could be disrupted and trees damaged.
Tuesday's rain was the second time in a week that Pembrokeshire has suffered flooding.
Roads and properties in Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock as well as Neyland and Haverfordwest were affected.
Mid and West Fire Service said it also took calls from parts of Carmarthenshire.
South west Wales was badly hit by storms over the weekend, with several flooding incidents in Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion following a yellow warning for the south Wales coast.
The yellow warnings are currently in place up to Friday.
Singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and Warner Music argue that the claimants have failed to make their case after three days of testimony.
US District Judge R Gary Klausner is expected to hear arguments on the motion when the trial resumes later.
The band are accused of basing Stairway on the 1968 Spirit song, Taurus.
The case was brought by Michael Skidmore, who runs the estate of Spirit's late guitarist, Randy Wolfe.
In court, Skidmore's lawyer, Francis Malofiy played both songs and attempted to establish that Page heard the song prior to writing Stairway to Heaven.
The guitarist testified that he had not heard the Spirit track until a few years ago, and said the chord sequence was also similar to the Mary Poppins song Chim Chim Cher-ee.
However, musicologist Dr Alexander Stewart told the court that the chord progressions in Taurus and Stairway "both skip the E before resolving on an A note in an unusual way".
The claimants rested their case on Friday, and lawyers for Led Zeppelin filed to have the case dismissed on Monday.
The defendants argue that Malofiy failed to put the copyright registration of Taurus into evidence; that the Wolfe Trustee does not own that copyright; and that he failed to establish that Led Zeppelin had heard Taurus before writing Stairway to Heaven.
If the judge rules against the motion, the defence will start their case on Tuesday, with Robert Plant and bassist John Paul Jones expected to testify.
Dyfed-Powys Police was called to the A40 near Llanspyddid, near Brecon, at 07:35 GMT on Friday.

We were both staying in the same crowded, shabby house, trying to make sense of the fighting nearby, and clinging on to a few home-comforts - something at which Peter, with his roll-ups, his music and his well-honed ability to put the stresses of the job to one side over a few beers, excelled.
Since then, our paths have crossed repeatedly, as they tend to in this relatively tight community of foreign correspondents, cameramen and producers.
Mogadishu, Goma, Juba, Abidjan… the big stories draw us to the same hotels, frontlines, refugee camps and government offices.
Peter is a fine journalist. Over the years I have watched with admiration and surges of envy, as he has set the pace for the rest of us in places like South Sudan and Somalia.
He is based in Nairobi, Kenya, covering the continent in much the same way I try to from Johannesburg.
And yes, like the rest of us, he has run into trouble.
Roadblocks, security scares, predatory bureaucracy, and the more complicated political minefields that come with the job.
It is not uncommon, on this continent and elsewhere, to run into the assumption that foreign journalists venture into places like Zimbabwe, or South Africa, or Egypt, with fixed agendas - either personal ones or those assigned to us by our editors back home.
Regime change, cultural imperialism or just a merciless addiction to reinforcing every wretched, negative stereotype we can lay our hands on.
The truth - from my experience - is almost always far less Machiavellian.
We are just trying to find good stories, understand what is going on, give a voice to those who seem to need it most, and make sure we get our reports on air.
In 23 years on the road, I can only remember one time when an editor asked me to make changes that I did not feel were warranted - and that was in Libya, when he was more sceptical than I was about the likelihood that the rag-tag rebels would ever take Tripoli.
It is subjective stuff, for sure. We are all prone to mistakes.
And with the internet, our audiences have the ability to dissect and re-dissect reports and blogs and tweets that have sometimes been scribbled at great speed and under enormous pressure.
A testy email exchange comes to mind - with a listener who bitterly objected to an infinitive that I had split on Radio 4 one morning, as I crouched behind a wall during a firefight on the outskirts of Abidjan, and which he believed fundamentally undermined the credibility of my entire report.
But the idea - and here I realise I am being subjective, though I hope impartial - that Peter was working in Cairo in support of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood is absurd, and appears to have been revealed as such in court to most viewers, although not, as today's sentence makes clear, to the judge.
The news is - most importantly and pressingly - a terrible blow for both Peter and his family.
But it is also something that surely strikes at the entire journalistic community.
Sometimes, when the news comes in of another colleague killed or injured in conflict, I find myself clutching at the thought that the journalist had been too reckless - had taken risks so foolish that somehow they bore responsibility for their fate.
Over the years I have come to realise that this is just a self-defence mechanism - a way of trying to make it feel like that same fate could not be waiting for me on the next road in the Central African Republic or wherever.
Surely I would have been smarter. I would have pre-empted the threat. It couldn't have been me…
But what Peter's own agonisingly slow Cairo disaster has shown more clearly than any other instance I can think of is this: For however many days he and his colleagues remain in prison (and given the international outcry that must surely follow the verdict… it can surely not be many), Peter represents all journalists.
In that cage, in that cell, it really could be any of us.
The $100m (£75m) deal had been agreed after legal action on behalf of around 385,000 Uber drivers, who claimed that they should be classed as employees and entitled to expenses.
However, a San Francisco judge has ruled that the settlement was "not fair, adequate or reasonable".
Uber said the decision was disappointing.
"The settlement, mutually agreed by both sides, was fair and reasonable. We're disappointed in this decision and are taking a look at our options," the company said.
Under the agreement, Uber had agreed to pay the drivers, based in California and Massachusetts, $84m initially.
They would then receive another $16m if the company decided to go public and its valuation increased one-and-a-half times from its December 2015 valuation within the first year.
Crucially for Uber, it meant the drivers were still classified as contractors and not employees.
The company has introduced policy changes as a result of the case - agreeing to create and fund a driver's association in both states, as well as providing them with more information about why a driver may have been "deactivated", as well as piloting an appeals process.
At the time of the agreement, the lawyer representing the drivers said it was an "historic" agreement and "one of the largest ever achieved on behalf of workers claiming independent contractor misclassification".
The frustrating thing for Uber is that it thought it had pleased everyone.
But a judge disagreed - taking issue with a settlement that came with strings that shouldn't have been attached, such as a stipulation that some of the settlement money would only be paid out if Uber's valuation rose above a certain level, if and when it floats on the stock market.
Still, you don't need a crystal ball to know how this one is going to be resolved. Uber will solve this like it solves all of its problems: by throwing more money at it. That worked for ride-sharing rival Lyft who, after facing a lawsuit of its own over the same issue, simply doubled its offer when a judge initially said no.
I can't see the employee/contractor row being an ongoing problem for Uber.
When this case first arose I spent the day chatting to Uber drivers waiting for punters arriving at San Francisco airport.
Among them, I didn't find any drivers who wanted to be considered employees rather than contractors, as the flexibility they felt it gave them made the loss of employee benefits a worthwhile sacrifice.

Playing at their first finals in 39 years, Uganda acquitted themselves well overall but Micho admitted they were found wanting in a couple of areas.
"We paid for one mistake which is hard to explain," he said. This competition does not permit silly mistakes.
"We just lack a bit at the technical and tactical level."
Andre Ayew scored Ghana's goal from the penalty spot after defender Isaac Isinde had lost possession and pulled back Asamoah Gyan.
Uganda responded well after going a goal down and Serbian Micho saw enough to convince him they can still progress.
"We came here to show that we did not qualify by accident and no matter that we now have to face Egypt and Mali, we will give 200% to advance," he said.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
Brown, 19, is now on loan at Rotherham United after so far failing to break through at Stamford Bridge.
Albion's head of academy recruitment claims Brown, who was 16 at the time, may have made the wrong move.
"It might turn out a correct decision. At the moment, it doesn't look a great decision," Hopcroft told BBC WM.
"I absolutely loved Izzy Brown. I thought he was the best of all the players that have left here.
"He could have gone on to play a similar number of games as Saido Berahino. He could have made his 100th appearance for West Brom and be in a better position than he is now.
"For whatever reason he chose not to go down that route. He chose to go down another route with a bigger club.
"He made a decision and his parents made a decision that West Brom wasn't for them at that time. I wasn't party to it, but I know really good offers were made."
The England Under-17 international became the second youngest-ever Premier League player when he made his Albion debut at 16 in May 2013, but moved on later that summer for an undisclosed compensation fee, decided by tribunal.
"He was the one that got away for me," said Hopcroft. "The manager at the time, Steve Clarke, was ready to make him an integral part of the team.
"We had a potential £20-30-40 million player that the fans would have loved, full of flair and skill. He could on take six players from his own half and score.
"I was bitterly disappointed, as was everyone in the Academy. He's still potentially a world-class player, the best we've lost, without a shadow of doubt."
Brown, one of 38 players currently out on loan from Albion's Premier League rivals Chelsea, has so far scored once in four appearances for Rotherham.
Hopcroft, who has spent 12 years at The Hawthorns, has signed a new deal with Albion this week, having been linked with a move to Manchester United.
Apart from the likes of Saido Berahino, he has also helped to bring through current first team squad members Jonathan Leko, Sam Field and Kane Wilson.
Steve Hopcroft was talking to BBC WM's Rob Gurney.
Security officers found a device at Manchester Airport on 30 January.
Nadeem Muhammad, 43, who denies possession of explosives with intent, boarded another flight on 5 February, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Jonathan Sandiford, prosecuting, said Mr Muhammad intended to detonate a device on a Ryanair flight to Bergarmo.
Mr Muhammad, who was born in Pakistan but had an Italian passport, was questioned by police on 30 January but not arrested.
A swab of the device found revealed no traces of explosives.
Mr Sandiford said: "At that stage nobody had realised this was a real device and the defendant was allowed to go on his way."
He told the jury it was only on 8 February when the device was examined again that the bomb squad was called.
The explosive was sent to expert Lorna Philp, who found it was a "crude but potentially viable improvised explosive device".
The device was found to contain nitroglycerine, the trial heard.
Mr Muhammad, of Tinline Street, Bury, was arrested when he returned to the UK on 12 February.
Mr Sandiford said if wires protruding from either end of the tube had been connected to each other the device would have detonated and experts said it would have been "unreliable" and "unpredictable".
"The only reason he would have for trying to get that explosive device on to the aeroplane was that he intended to detonate it within the confines of the Boeing 737 aircraft."
He said the prosecution could not be sure if terrorism, suicide or "another purpose altogether" was the motive.
The device was found within the zip lining of a small green suitcase which Mr Muhammad was carrying, the court heard.
When initially questioned he said it may have been placed into his bag by his wife or another person.
Mr Muhammad denies possession of explosives with intent to endanger life or property and an alternative charge of possession of explosives under suspicious circumstances.
The trial continues.

Some of the victims - the oldest of whom was 94 - lost as much as £130,000.
Passing sentence at the Old Bailey, Judge Anuja Dhir said that none of the convicted men had shown any genuine remorse.
She told the men their crimes would have a "devastating and lasting impact" on the victims, whose average age was 83.

She praised detectives from Scotland Yard's counter terrorism command who brought the men to justice.
Speaking about the victims, the judge added: "I was struck by their dignity and their courage when giving evidence about a matter that was so obviously painful for them to relive."
The sentences were:
They will all serve half their sentences before being eligible for release on licence.
Fagan-Gayle received £20,000 from the scam and went on a spending spree.
During the scam, carried out across southern England, gang members phoned elderly victims and pretended to be police officers.
They told victims about suspected fraud at their banks and instructed them to withdraw money or transfer it to different accounts for "safe keeping".
In some cases this involved handing over cash to "couriers" - gang members who arrived at victims' houses on the pretence they were working for the police.
Many victims were deceived into lying to their family, friends and banks about what they were doing.
World War Two veteran Kenneth Whitaker, who fought at the Battle of Arnhem, was 93 at the time of the fraud.
He said he felt "dumb and stupid" after losing £113,000 to the fraudsters.
Barbara Davidson, 86, lost £14,000 which she had been planning to use to visit relatives in South Africa.
She now fears she will never see those family members again.
The Metropolitan Police said about 140 frauds and attempted frauds were identified as part of the investigation - and more may have gone unreported by victims who were embarrassed by what had happened.
The force said officers found 16 telephone lines the group used to make 5,695 calls to 3,774 different numbers.
Commander Dean Haydon, head of the Met's counter-terrorism command, said he was pleased with the sentences given to the gang members.
He added: "They callously and systematically defrauded elderly people of their life savings.
"Had we not arrested them and put them before the courts, the group may have gone on to defraud many more victims across the UK."
A court official told reporters Ms Gu had not contested the charge that she killed Mr Heywood by poisoning in 2011.
The date of the verdict would be announced later, the official said.
Ms Gu is the wife of former high-flying politician Bo Xilai, whose career in office was ended by the scandal surrounding Mr Heywood's death.
Ms Gu, herself a prominent lawyer, is on trial along with her aide, Zhang Xiaojun, who was described by the court as an accomplice.
Two British diplomats were in court to observe the trial, but no foreign media were given permission to attend.
In an unusual news briefing outside the court, the court official, Tang Yigan, said Ms Gu and Mr Zhang "did not raise objections to the facts and the charges of intentional homicide".
Reading from a statement, Mr Tang said the prosecution alleged that Ms Gu had been involved in a business dispute with Mr Heywood, and believed he had "threatened the personal safety of her son... and decided to kill him".
The prosecution alleged she had arranged for Mr Heywood to travel to Chongqing from Beijing, accompanied by Mr Zhang.
Ms Gu spent the evening of 13 November with Mr Heywood at the Nanshan Lijing Holiday Hotel, where they drank tea and alcoholic drinks.
"After Heywood became intoxicated, vomited and asked for a drink of water, she poured a poison into his mouth that had been prepared beforehand and that she had given to Zhang Xiaojun to bring along, causing Heywood's death," said the statement.
"The facts of the crime are clear and backed by ample evidence," it said.
Mr Tang said Ms Gu had been "in good shape and mentally stable," throughout the trial.
"The trial committee will announce the verdict after discussion," he said.
The two defendants face a possible death penalty if found guilty.
China's state news agency Xinhua later reported that four police officers would go on trial on Friday, accused of trying to protect Ms Gu from prosecution.
Mr Heywood's body was found at the hotel in Chongqing in November 2011.
The death was recorded as a heart attack at the time, but four months later Mr Bo's right-hand man, police chief Wang Lijun, fled to a US consulate to allege murder and a massive cover-up.
Bo Xilai was the Communist party head in Chongqing at the time of Mr Heywood's death.
He had been seen as a strong contender for one of China's top jobs, as the country prepares to install a new generation of leaders.
But he was sacked in March and is currently under investigation for unspecified "disciplinary violations.
The BBC's John Sudworth in Hefei says the facts of the case may be as they have been reported by the court, but that there is a strong political element to the story.
The case raises questions about corruption at the highest level, says our correspondent, so it is almost certain that this will be a politically managed trial as well as a criminal one.
The court may take into account mitigating circumstances in its verdict, he adds, including the assertion that Ms Gu had been concerned for her safety and that of her son.
Ms Gu, Mr Zhang and Mr Bo have not been seen in public since April, when the investigation was announced.
One of Ms Gu's supporters, who gave his name as Mr Han, criticised the process of the trial, and said she should have been allowed to choose her own lawyer rather than accept one appointed by the court.
"She should have been granted the right to defend herself to the media," he said.
"I won't accept any verdict before I hear their side of the story."
But there was a mixed reaction on Chinese social media, with many posts expressing satisfaction at the verdict.
"All the corrupt officials try their best to sing the praises of the present system, but I wonder what they say now after they have been tried!" said Lian Zhugen on Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter.
The trial is being held in Hefei, 1,000 km (650 miles) from Chongqing.
It said it had worked with three local funeral directors to create a package with savings ranging from 28% to 41% on the national average.
The average cost for funeral director services is £2,772, according to Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS).
Since 2012, it has seen an 83% rise in people going to citizens advice bureaux after struggling with funeral costs.
CAS said costs of burials rose by 7% between 2016 and 2015, while cremation costs increased by 11%.
East Ayrshire council leader Douglas Reid said funeral poverty was a genuine problem.
"It is something we need to address and it is important that we talk openly about the cost of funerals," he said.
"People need to know that there are options out there, that they can say goodbye to a loved one in a dignified way without paying large sums of money, money that many people just don't have."
From 1 April, all East Ayrshire residents will be entitled to use the funeral package, which will range in price from £1,680 to £2,000.
Based on these costs, people would save between £350 and £700 depending which funeral director they chose to use, the council said.
The "Respectful Funeral Service" package is to include:
A review of funeral poverty was commissioned by the Scottish government in 2015, and the Birrell -Citizens Advice Scotland report was published.
The report contained a number of recommendations to tackle funeral poverty.
These included local authorities seeking ways to reduce or limit charges.
Social Security Minister Jeane Freeman said: "We are keen to encourage innovative work to address funeral poverty, and I will be interested to see how this scheme operates in practice."
Under current rules, some widows and widowers can lose their pension if they remarry or live with a new partner.
Mel Jones, of North Wales Police Federation, has called for regulations to be brought into line with Northern Ireland, which grants all police widows a pension for life.
It comes as a petition on the issue has attracted more than 115,000 signatures.
In 2015, the rules were changed by the UK government to allow widows of police officers killed in the line of duty to receive their pensions only if they remarried or moved in with a partner after 1 April that year.
But Mr Jones has called for widows or widowers who lost a spouse from 1 January 1989 to be paid retrospectively, like they are in Northern Ireland.
"The present system is antiquated, it needs reforming. It's potentially clearly unfair for individuals, depending on which police service they have served in," Mr Jones told the Newyddion 9 programme.
"They could have served in Northern Ireland, Scotland or England and Wales, and the rules are totally different for each country.
"Sadly, it's widows or widowers who are made to make a very difficult choice then. If they want to move on, remarry or live with somebody, they face losing their widows' pension."
Debra Poole, from Sarnau, Ceredigion, was widowed when her police officer husband, Russell, died nearly 15 years ago.
She receives about £900 each month and said she "could not have existed" without the pension as she was left to bring up their three young children on her own.
But she has criticised the current regulations, saying they force widows to "choose between love and money".
"If I choose to find another person, to love again, then my money will be taken from me," she said.
"My husband did work, he retired, he quite often put his life on the line for the job. He loved his job, but he also paid 11% of his pay every month for his pension and for his family.
"So I do feel that this is wrong. We're only seeking parity with the Northern Ireland ladies - our sisters we call them."
In response, a Home Office spokesman said: "This government has made clear its commitment to ensuring that public service pensions are affordable, sustainable and fair.
"That is why we brought regulations into force at the start of last year which mean that widows, widowers and surviving civil partners of police officers who die on duty in England and Wales, no longer lose their survivors' benefits if they remarry, form a civil partnership or cohabit."
He's told a Mexican broadcaster that he can no longer nip out for a quiet pizza - and it makes him sad.
"Do you like being Pope?" he was asked. "I do not mind! The only thing I would like is to go out one day, without being recognized, and go to a pizzeria for a pizza."
Before becoming Pope in 2013, he says he was "a rover".
In an interview translated by Vatican Radio, he said: "I moved between parishes [in his home city of Buenos Aires] and certainly this habit has changed... it has been hard work to change. But you get used to it. You find a way to get around: on the phone, or in other ways ... "
Pope Francis isn't the only religious leader who finds it tricky to enjoy a pizza slice.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, reportedly has trouble getting pizzas delivered to his London home, Lambeth Palace.
The delivery drivers often get lost, he says.
"So they ring up and say, 'This Lambeth Palace, where is it?' And I say, where are you? 'I'm by Lambeth Bridge.' OK. Can you see a 60ft-tall red brick gatehouse? 'No.'"
The Archbishop - who leads the 85 million members of the Anglican communion - says he usually has to go outside to find the driver to collect the pizza himself.

The virus has been linked to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains and has been spreading on a massive scale in the Americas.
UK officials say women can talk with health professionals about the risks.
If travel is unavoidable, they should take precautions to avoid bites from mosquitoes that spread the disease.
Women planning to become pregnant should also be wary, says the National Travel Health Network and Centre.
Any pregnant woman who has recently travelled to a country where Zika is known to occur should tell their doctor or midwife.
The UK Foreign Office says people can search its website by country or territory to find out the latest situation.
The World Health Organization says the virus is likely to spread across nearly all of the Americas, apart from Canada and Chile.
Three Britons have already contracted the virus after travelling to South and Central America.
A spokeswoman from UK travel organisation Abta said women reconsidering their plans would be able to get a medical certificate from their family doctor in order to claim on insurance.
US experts at the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention say insect repellents containing active ingredients, such as DEET and picaridin, are safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
To lower the risk of infections spread by mosquitoes, pregnant women should use insect repellants, stay indoors during peak times of mosquito activity (usually dawn and dusk) and wear protective clothing (such as long-sleeve shirts, long pants, and socks).
Zika is transmitted by the Aedes mosquitoes. The infection often occurs without symptoms but can cause an illness similar to dengue.
Symptoms include:
Patients usually get better on their own, but the big concern is the damage the virus might do to an unborn child.

David Hulme, 56, of Glan Seiont, Caernarfon, was jailed for six years last March for fraud and false accounting.
He had claimed £495,857 for the company between July 2011 and December 2012.
Caernarfon Crown Court heard during a proceeds of crime hearing he had benefited from the fraud by £87,683.
Judge Huw Rees ordered an eight-month jail sentence if the money was not repaid to Gwynedd council within three months.
Fellow firm owner Darren Price had pleaded guilty to false accounting and was sentenced to two years and three months at the same time as Hulme.

Mr Tumpy's Caravan is a 180-page fantasy story about a magical caravan.
It was in a collection of manuscripts that was auctioned by the family of Blyton's eldest daughter in September.
"I think it's unique," said Tony Summerfield, head of the Enid Blyton Society. "I don't know of any full-length unpublished Blyton work."
The collection was bought by the Seven Stories children's book centre in Newcastle.
The Mr Tumpy mystery - what is the book like, and why was it never published?
Blyton, who died in 1968, remains a children's favourite and a publishing phenomenon thanks to such characters as the Famous Five, the Secret Seven and Noddy.
An estimated 500 million copies of her books have been sold around the world, with updated and reprinted versions of her most popular stories still selling eight million copies a year.
Mr Tumpy's Caravan follows the adventures of a caravan with feet and a mind of its own.
Together with Mr Tumpy, his friends and a dog called Bun-Dorg, it crosses an ocean before facing a dog-headed dragon in an attempt to save a princess's land.
It was initially believed to have been a version of a picture book called Mr Tumpy and His Caravan, compiled using comic strips published in the London Evening Standard in the 1940s.
Imogen Smallwood, Blyton's youngest daughter, told BBC News: "It does appear to be a little bit of a mystery because there is a Mr Tumpy book that was published in 1949, which was actually a cartoon book.
"I just thought that was that. But no, it turns out that this is completely different.
"It's a whole book, written with words, about a completely different Mr Tumpy and indeed a completely different caravan.
"There's always excitement when an unknown typescript is found of anybody's who is well known," she continued.
"Because this wasn't even known about, it has to rank quite high."
The typescript is not dated but bears the address Old Thatch, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire - Blyton's home until 1938.
The collection of original typescripts was auctioned following the death of Blyton's eldest daughter, Gillian Baverstock, in 2007.
Seven Stories archivist Hannah Green said she realised the typescript did not appear to be closely related to the picture book when she came to catalogue the collection.
"When I looked in more detail into this, it became apparent that it was actually very different and looks like an unpublished novel," she said.
"It doesn't often happen that you have something unpublished by such a well-known author. I think I am probably the first person, certainly in a very long time, to have read the whole thing.
"It was really exciting to spend an afternoon reading it."
Chorion, the company that controls Blyton's estate, said it could not be 100% sure about the differences between the picture book and the novel because they both "pre-date our acquisition of the Blyton Estate".
"However, we have every confidence in the Enid Blyton Society's views," Chorion's Esra Cafer said. "No-one knows more about Blyton's works than Tony Summerfield. This is a great find and Seven Stories is the perfect home for it."
Seven Stories paid around £40,000 for a number of items, including original draft copies of the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Noddy and Malory Towers books.
Combining a gallery, children's activity hub and a preservation centre, Seven Stories aims to save and celebrate great British children's books.
Set up in 2005, it is attempting to establish a national collection of manuscripts and memorabilia from leading authors and illustrators.

The shooting happened at a gay nightclub called Pulse in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Forty-nine people have died and 53 have been hurt. Many of the victims were gay people.
Police shot the gunman before he could do any more harm.
It's the worst mass shooting in US history.
The attack was carried out by one man.
The so-called Islamic State group has since said it was responsible, but that's not been confirmed.
We don't know exactly why the attack happened, but it could have been because of hatred towards gay people.
Homophobia is hatred or fear towards someone because they're gay.
It can lead to people being bullied or attacked for loving, or being attracted, to someone of the same gender.
In the UK, treating someone differently because of this is against the law.
But in some other countries in the world it is illegal to be gay and you can be punished.
Islamic State has been known to kill people because they're gay.
"This was an act of terror and an act of hate," US President Barack Obama said.
"And as Americans, we are united in grief, outrage and resolve to defend our people."
Police are investigating what happened and if the attack was linked to extremist groups.
President Obama has repeatedly called for tighter controls over who can own a gun in the US.
In America, most adults can own a gun if they want to - it's a right set out in US law.
But in the UK, it's much more difficult to have a gun.
People have to get a certificate from the police and show why they need it - for example, because of their job or hobby, such as hunting.
People have been queuing up to donate blood to help the victims that are still in hospital.
There have been marches in cities across America, where people have shown their support.
Vigils are also being held around the world.
Mr Obama has asked for flags on government buildings to be flown at half mast until Thursday as a sign of national mourning.
It's important to remember that things like this are extremely rare - that is why they're in the news.
If you're feeling worried then it's best to talk to someone you trust, like a parent or teacher.
Torbay Council has had a mayor and cabinet since 2005, but will now adopt a leader and cabinet from 2019.
The referendum was held after post holders were accused of making wrong decisions and having too much power.
But supporters of the role said it was good to have a single visible figure who was above political infighting.
The turnout for the referendum was 25%, with 15,846 votes placed in favour of a leader and cabinet and 9,511 in favour of the current mayor and cabinet system.
Conservative Gordon Oliver was re-elected as mayor for his second term, which will last four years, in 2015.
Jenny Kumah, BBC Radio Devon's political reporter, said: "The main differences between the two systems is that the mayor is directly elected by residents and has more power to get decisions through.
"Mayors cannot be removed before the end of their four-year term.
"A council leader is chosen by councillors of the winning party after an election, but councillors can vote to remove the leader at anytime."
The scarecrow, part of a Derbyshire village's annual festival, was on display at Scargill Primary School.
Head teacher Andrew Poole said the thieves scaled the fence and left only one plimsoll behind.

Mr Pull said: "Each pupil put in about a day's work on each on their own bit of material that they sewed into an intricate pattern.
"One of our TAs spent about two days sewing it into a coat.
"It was the fact it was their hard work that was taken that makes it heart-breaking for everyone."
He said the school's Year 3 and 4 pupils were in the village touring the scarecrow trail and would be "keeping their eyes peeled" for the missing coat and Derbyshire police had been informed.
He added several other scarecrows had been damaged or stolen from the trail, which is in its ninth year. All proceeds are donated to charity.
Louise Trueman said on Facebook: "Each patch had a design on them that all year 5s had chosen and individuals hand sewed them on. Lots of hard work and time went in to this coat. Please please return."
Trail organiser, Pete Lilley, said: "People spend a lot of time and energy in producing the 65+ scarecrows that are on display throughout the village during this week, and to see those efforts destroyed overnight through mindless vandalism, fills us with anger and despair."
Officers want to speak to three people who may be able to provide more information about the incident.
The 44-year-old driver needed hospital treatment and is recovering at home.
The incident happened at the bus stop on Queen Street at about 17:00 BST on 3 May and Gwent Police has appealed for witnesses.
Papers leaked from the law firm detailed how the world's rich and powerful used it to shield money from taxation in their home countries.
The FCA said it had written to the firms earlier this week.
Banking giants, including HSBC, deny they help clients to avoid tax.
HSBC, Credit Suisse and the Royal Bank of Scotland-owned Coutts Trustees all feature in the leaked Panama Papers.
The revelations in the papers are based on more than 11 million documents from Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca.
They name lenders said to have helped to set up structures making it hard for tax officials to pinpoint money flows.
They also name institutions alleged to have helped firms that were subject to international sanctions.
In a statement, the FCA said: "The FCA has written to a number of firms about this issue, including those on our Systematic Anti-Money Laundering Programme, and we are working closely with a number of other agencies who are also looking at this.
"As part of our responsibility to ensure the integrity of the UK financial markets we require all authorised firms to have systems and controls in place to mitigate the risk that they might be used to commit financial crime."
The neural network was trained on a dataset of one million photos and one million recipes.
The trial model worked best on desserts and found smoothies and sushi more challenging, the researchers said.
The team has released an online trial although it is not a finished product.
When tested by the BBC, recipes that were generated based on a picture of spaghetti bolognese included "Italian tomato sauce" and "gunk on noodles".
A photo of a Black Forest gateau yielded "chocolate mocha cake" and "frozen grasshopper squares" - both of which looked similar to the image uploaded - and it successfully identified a hot dog.
"In computer vision, food is mostly neglected because we don't have the large-scale datasets needed to make predictions," said MIT researcher Yusuf Aytar.
"But seemingly useless photos on social media can actually provide valuable insight into health habits and dietary preferences."
The team will be presenting their paper at a conference in Honolulu later this month.
Previous models by other researchers have not used such a large data bank.
In the future the system could be developed to include how a food is prepared and could also be adapted to provide nutritional information, MIT said.
Artificial intelligence expert Calum Chace, author of The Economic Singularity, said the system was an interesting use of deep learning.
"It's an example of how machines can not only do things that humans cannot, but they perceive the world very differently from us," he told the BBC.
"Just as AlphaGo showed the world's best Go players whole new ways of looking at the game they had spent their lives mastering, this system will enable us to see the very food we eat in a different way."
In May 2017 Google's DeepMind AlphaGo artificial intelligence defeated the world's number one Go player Ke Jie, who was reduced to tears.
Following its success, AlphaGo was retired, with DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis saying it had achieved its objective.
The 61-year-old, who played Toby Ziegler, tweeted the phrase after seeing it being used as part of protests against Donald Trump.
As a result news outlets in the US and elsewhere began trying to explain the term to their audience.
After the actor's intervention the term began trending across the world.
Mr Schiff said his attention was first drawn to the word bawbag when he saw it appear in coverage of global protests at the American election result.
He told BBC Scotland that led to tweets in his newsfeed from people in the UK.
He said: "The Scottish ones had great words on their posters and I was like 'what is that?'
"I think I tweeted something like 'what the hell does that mean?'
"And then someone started sending me definitions of everything."
"I said 'I love that word - what the heck is that?'"
Mr Schiff said one of his Twitter followers suggested a hashtag using the phrase.
He added: "I went 'let it be so' and that's how it began - and why it went so viral so quickly - it became number one trend in the UK - Scotland first - and then the UK - and then I think a top 10 tweet here in America and Australia.
"It was a fun diversion that also contributed to the great unifying feeling that was spreading around the world and was quite remarkable.
"I think most Americans were like me, like 'what is that word and where did it come from?'"
The actor described said the Scots as "fun-loving" and said the term bawbag was taken differently from an American insult.
He said: "I wouldn't use a standard American insult, but the Scots are so fun-loving about it.
"I think that's the spirit of it and means it isn't as damaging as it otherwise might be. It's not meant in any other way except as a unifying fun thing.
"We need to laugh. It's one of the reasons [behind] the Scottish word as a hashtag."
Mr Schiff said he had been sent numerous definitions of Scottish colloquial words and that he had developed a love of the vocabulary.
He also said that he had been inundated with invitations to come to Scotland and intended to visit the Edinburgh Festival and some of the country's golf courses, although not those owned by Mr Trump. | Swansea welcome back Martin Olsson after he missed the defeat by Bournemouth with an ankle injury.

Ken Tsang, a member of the pro-democracy Civic Party, was found guilty of pouring an unknown liquid on police officers and of resisting arrest.
On the same night of 15 October 2014, Tsang was filmed being beaten by police for several minutes.
Seven policemen, who are to stand trial for the assault, deny the charges.
Tsang arrived at the Kowloon City Magistrates' Court on Thursday afternoon to a crowd of supporters holding yellow umbrellas, a symbol of the city's democracy movement.
Magistrate Peter Law told the court that he was convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Tsang was the one who poured an unknown liquid over 11 police officers and subsequently resisted arrest by two others.
"Although he did not have a specific target, he clearly knew there were many officers below," he said, adding that it showed "hostility."
After the verdict, Tsang's lawyer Robert Pang said the attack his client had been subject to was far more serious than the charges he has been found guilty of.
"His body was covered in wounds... he was tortured. He was punched and kicked in a dark corner as a punishment," Pang said, adding the police had used "disproportionate violence".
Tsang has said police brought assault charges against him to distract from the case against them.
Thousands of protesters blocked major thoroughfares in Hong Kong in 2014, calling for a free vote on the city's chief executive, but the demonstration failed to win any concessions from either Beijing or the city authorities.
Tsang will be sentenced next Monday and could face up to two years in jail.
Mooy, who has won 18 caps for Australia, joined City from sister club Melbourne on a three-year deal in June.
The 25-year-old played in 53 A League games for Melbourne, who he joined from Western Sydney in May 2014.
"He is an offensive central midfield player who fills the position left by Emyr Huws' departure," Terriers head coach David Wagner said.
"We have completed some very interesting permanent transfers, but sometimes the loan market also offers exciting quality like Aaron."
Huws, who was on loan at the Terriers last season, has returned to his parent club Wigan following their promotion to the Championship.

Deadlock over the issue had held up the last day of talks in Hamburg but a final agreement was eventually reached.
It acknowledges President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement without undermining the commitment of other countries.
The compromise comes after violent protests in the host city.
The joint summit statement released on Saturday said: "We take note of the decision of the United States of America to withdraw from the Paris Agreement."
However, the leaders of the other G20 members agreed the accord committing nations to restrict global temperature increases was "irreversible".
In her closing news conference, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she still deplored Mr Trump's position on the Paris accord but she was "gratified" the other 19 nations opposed its renegotiation.
The statement also said the US would "endeavour to work closely with other countries to help them access and use fossil fuels more cleanly and efficiently".
Mr Trump has pledged to help the US coal industry make a comeback and has previously characterised the Paris agreement as trying to disadvantage American workers.
He won another concession on a second sticking point - trade. While renewing a pledge against protectionism, the communiqué for the first time underlined the right of countries to protect their markets.
Mr Trump cancelled his own scheduled news conference on Saturday, reinforcing the image of the G20 as the G19 + 1, reports the BBC's diplomatic correspondent James Robbins.
It has been divisive summit in which the rest of the world has been struggling to come to terms with the US president's "America first" policy, our correspondent says.
"I think it's very clear that we could not reach consensus, but the differences were not papered over, they were clearly stated," Mrs Merkel told reporters.
She said she did not share the view of UK Prime Minister Theresa May that Washington could decide to return to the climate agreement.
But Mrs May reiterated her belief that the US could rejoin the accord in her news conference on Saturday.
And French President Emmanuel Macron also remained hopeful of persuading Mr Trump to change his mind, saying: "I never despair of convincing him because I think it's my duty."
He announced that Paris would host another summit on 12 December to make further progress on the climate agreement and to address financing.
There have been large protests in the city, with demonstrators and armed police clashing into the early hours of Saturday.
Demonstrators - who were protesting against the presence of Mr Trump and Mr Putin, climate change and global wealth inequalities - set fire to vehicles and barricades, threw rocks at officers and looted shops.
At one point, police chased protesters across rooftops while officers on the streets used water cannon on protesters.
Nearly 200 police officers were injured during the protests. Dozens of protesters have been detained.
President Trump met Prime Minister May on the sidelines of the summit on Saturday and said a US-UK trade deal would be signed soon.
He also confirmed he would visit the UK, but said the details had still to be worked out.
On Friday, the US president used his first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the G20 to discuss the alleged Russian hacking of last year's US presidential election.
President Putin said on Saturday he believed President Trump had accepted his assurances that Moscow had not interfered in the vote.
He said he had established a working relationship with his US counterpart and a ceasefire in southern Syria - agreed between the US, Russia and Jordan on Friday - was a result of America becoming more pragmatic.
Mr Trump held his final talks of the event with President Xi Jinping, where they discussed efforts to rein in North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
President Xi suggested visits between the two countries' defence ministers, according to state news agency Xinhua.
Every year the BBC Price of Football survey looks into how much you guys have to spend as a footie fan.
This year the survey found that the average cost of a kids Premier League football shirt is £38, around £1.50 more than last year.
Football clubs set prices in their own club shops and on their websites but high street shops can decide their own prices.
As well as shirts, the BBC survey looked into ticket prices and even how much it costs to buy snacks at the big games.
You told us what you think...
Going to the football is expensive, but when Aston Villa score it's worth it (although that doesn't happen very often!)
Harley, 8, Burnham-on-Sea
I think that football shirts should be made less expensive and people shouldn't think that just because you don't have a kit, you can't support a team.
Louise, Isle of Man
I think that football kits are way too expensive and they should lower the price.
Finn, London, England
I love supporting my favourite football team but I have never been to a football match and can't buy the kits because it's too expensive.
Namrah, Manchester, England
I support Sheffield United. Sometimes the prices for kits and tickets is too high.

Spurs' 2-1 defeat at home to Southampton means north London rivals Arsenal could still pip them to second.
"I don't care about Arsenal," said Pochettino. "Sure I want to be above them, but this is normal.
"We need to concentrate on us and not what is happening with our neighbours."
Having seen their bid for a first title since 1961 ended by Monday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea, Tottenham have now not won in three games and have only two victories in their past six.
Arsenal drew at fourth-placed Manchester City, having trailed twice.
The results mean Spurs remain in second, two points above Arsenal, and travel to Newcastle on Sunday for the final game of the season. The Gunners host already relegated Aston Villa at the same time.
But the Argentine said his players had not been affected by Monday's disappointment in the defeat by Saints.
"We did not lose the game today because of last Monday's result," Pochettino told BBC Sport. "We lost because we conceded two goals.
"We feel very disappointed, losing our last home game of the season. But we are still in a great position."
Kyle Coetzer hit 127 and captain Preston Mommsen 111 not out as the Scots made 327-5 after being put in.
Coetzer, Mommsen and Richie Berrington (27) all passed passed 1,000 ODI runs - joining two other Scots, Neil McCallum and Gavin Hamilton - in the process.
The Scots then bowled out the visitors for 229, with Alasdair Evans taking 4-41 in the Edinburgh sunshine.
"We always wanted to bat first and put some runs on the board," said skipper Mommsen.
"We built a very good platform through Craig Wallace and Kyle Coetzer up top. That gave us a base to really kick on through the middle and towards the back end of the innings. Everyone who came in contributed."
Coetzer, who scored his first century on Scottish soil, stressed the importance of getting a win after a disappointing defeat by Afghanistan in July.
"We put in decent performances [against Afghanistan] but we lost our way at crucial moments in the game. Fortunately for us today we managed to piece that back together and get it right."
Victory helped sooth Scotland's frustration at their rain-affected ICC Intercontinental Cup fixture with the UAE at Ayr earlier in the week, when only 59 overs were possible over the four days.
"The guys were pulling their hair out," Coetzer added. "We just wanted to get on it with and so we were raring to go today."
The teams meet again at the Grange on Tuesday in the second one-dayer.
A former forklift truck factory will be taken over by General Dynamics (GD) for assembly and maintenance work.
It follows a £3.5bn deal to buy 589 of the Scout Specialist Vehicles at General Dynamics at Oakdale in Caerphilly county.
David Cameron called it a credit to local "skills and expertise".
GD, which already employs 550 people in Oakdale, will open a new plant in the old Halla factory in Pentrebach.
The deal, to run until 2024, was announced ahead of Mr Cameron's visit to Wales on Thursday.
"The 250 additional new skilled jobs at GD will build on those already safeguarded by the decision to purchase 589 Scout vehicles for our armed forces, ensuring our servicemen and women have the very best equipment to keep us safe," he said.
The company said the contract would "open up exciting new possibilities for General Dynamics in the UK in the years ahead".
Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney MP Gerald Jones welcomed the news and said the town is on the up and now "going places".
He pointed to a long history of engineering jobs in the area at factories such as Hoover and said institutions such as Merthyr Tydfil College would be able to provide the skills needed to fill the new jobs.
While he admitted some people still need to travel to work, Mr Jones said regeneration in the area, the dualling of the Heads of the Valleys road and the availability of land now meant companies were looking to invest in the area again.
"Merthyr Tydfil is going through quite a large physical regeneration and there is a buzz around the town," he told BBC Radio Wales.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) intends the Scout to be the "eyes and ears" of the Army in the most tricky terrains around the world.
The prime minister also revealed his government was keen to persuade the famous car brand Aston Martin to make a home for itself in the Vale of Glamorgan, by the MoD vacating land at St Athan.
He said a large MoD hangar could be made available to the company in what he described as a "great offer".
BBC Wales understands the firm is considering sites in St Athan and another in Coventry.
But by the end they were turning their minds to other matters - some spectacular results from Facebook and Apple and the prospect of the biggest stock market debut by a tech firm for years.
On my Tech Tent podcast this week, we discuss the hopes and fears of Silicon Valley as Snapchat owner Snap gets ready to hit the New York Stock Exchange.
We also hear from a London tech chief on his worries about the US migration policy. And you'll be pleased to hear there's a gadget on the show as we find out how augmented reality may enter the classroom.
When a company that lost more than $500m (£400m) last year announces it is floating on the New York Stock Exchange with a $25bn (£20bn) valuation, there are two possible reactions.
Either Snap's initial public offering (IPO), at a time when its growth is slowing, is a sign that the market for tech firms has gone mad again with investors betting on a future that will never materialise, or it just reflects renewed confidence in Silicon Valley at the end of a week where both Apple and Facebook have confounded the sceptics with record-breaking revenues.
Remember, Facebook's $100bn (£80bn) IPO valuation was derided by many in 2012, but today it's worth nearly four times as much. Snap will hope to follow the same path rather than that of Twitter, which is now worth less now than when it floated.
Snap shares are bound to take investors on a rollercoaster ride - so we try to work out where they will end up.
When President Trump's executive order banning travel to the US from seven predominantly Muslim countries was published, one tech company boss had a very personal take.
Ismail Ahmed is the founder of WorldRemit, a London-based business helping migrants send money home.
He is a British citizen but was born in Somalia, one of the countries on the banned list. (Actually he hails from the peaceful self-declared independent state of Somaliland - but that's not a distinction likely to be obvious to border officials).
He tells us he was pretty worried when the news of the ban broke. After all, he has to travel frequently to Denver where his US operation is based. He already has problems at the border because his name is similar to that of the spiritual leader of the militant group Hamas. Despite the fact that Sheik Ahmed Ismail was killed by Israel in 2004, his name is still on a sanctions list - hence Mr Ahmed's problems.
He is now somewhat reassured about his future travel plans by the intervention of the British government on behalf of its citizens. But he says that with 330 staff and 35 nationalities on the WorldRemit workforce, any restrictions on their ability to travel will be a concern.
Then there are his customers, current and future: "There are 250 million people who live outside their home countries who then send an estimated $600bn (£480bn)."
His message is that migration is not going to go away: "Ever since homo sapiens left east Africa 50,000 years ago, we've been on the move... Brexit or no Brexit, Trump or no Trump, people will continue to travel."
Over the last three decades, all sorts of technological innovations have entered the classroom in schools around the globe. First came PCs, then electronic interactive whiteboards and notebook computers and in recent years some schools have decided that giving every pupil a tablet is the way forward.
Could the next big trend be the use of augmented reality, where digital information is superimposed over the real world?
At the recent Bett education technology fair in London, Jane Wakefield tried out Hololens, Microsoft's augmented reality headset - or "mixed reality", as the company prefers. It offers a new interactive way to teach children a range of subjects. They can, for instance, walk around a skeleton to learn how it fits together.
We discuss whether this is the future of education - or just a fad.
Inflation now stands at 2.7% - up from 2.3% in March - and above the Bank of England's 2% target.
The main reason was higher air fares, which rose because of the later date of Easter this year compared with 2016.
Rising prices for clothing, vehicle excise duty and electricity also played a part, but a fall in the price of petrol and diesel slightly offset this.
Last week, the Bank of England warned that inflation as measured by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) would peak at just below 3% this year.
It also warned that 2017 would be "a more challenging time for British households" with inflation rising and real wages falling - leading to a consumer spending squeeze.
Pay including bonuses rose at an annual rate of 2.3% in the three months to February, according to the ONS. The latest figures on earnings growth are due out on Wednesday.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the cost of air travel went up by 18.6% from the month before, with Easter falling on 16 April this year compared with 27 March last year.
The price of clothes jumped to the highest level for six years, with a rise of 1.1% between March and April.
Electricity and food prices also went up, but there were falls in the cost of gas, petrol and diesel.
The Retail Prices Index (RPI), a separate measure of inflation which includes council tax and mortgage interest payments, reached 3.5% last month, up from 3.1% in March.
The ONS's new preferred inflation measure of CPIH, which contains a measure of housing costs, rose to 2.6% from 2.3% in March.
Chris Williamson, chief business economist at analysts IHS Markit, said: "The timing of Easter looks to have played an important role in pushing inflation higher in year-on-year terms.
"But sterling's depreciation since the referendum last June is also clearly a significant factor, lifting prices for imports and likely to pile further upward pressure on consumer prices in coming months.
"There are nevertheless signs that inflation could perhaps rise less than many had been fearing.
"Survey data are already showing companies' costs are rising at a slower rate than earlier in the year, and recent weeks have seen some easing in global commodity prices, notably oil."
Suren Thiru, head of economics at the British Chambers of Commerce, said: "Businesses continue to report that the substantial increases in the cost of raw materials and other overheads over the past year are still filtering through the supply chain, and are therefore likely to lift consumer prices higher in the coming months
"However, it remains probable that the current period of above target inflation is transitory in nature, with little evidence that higher price growth is becoming entrenched in higher pay growth.
"This should give the Bank of England sufficient scope to keep interest rates on hold for some time yet, despite their recent warning."
Samuel Baxter trapped the officer's leg against a police vehicle after he was stopped from passing through security lines on Twaddell Avenue, Belfast Magistrates Court heard.
The 53-year-old was also found guilty of disorderly behaviour during one of the nightly demonstrations in the area.
Baxter, of Canmore Close, will be sentenced next month.
Police witnesses told the court that one constable suffered a bruised shin in the incident after Baxter repeatedly directed his wheelchair weighing up to 28 stone at them.
Baxter said he was only in the area for family reasons and had no involvement in the protests over a disputed Orange Order parade.
He claimed that he was trying to pass through the police cordon to get his friend who had a blood clot to hospital.
He claimed the officer he was charged with assaulting told him: "Sit down, you're not getting through, OK."
He argued that the constable's flak jacket had caught on his wheelchair's gear stick, causing it to shunt forward about an inch.
A police inspector told the court Baxter was swearing and abusive.
He said the incident was part of attempts to incite a crowd who were filming on their mobile phones.
"This set-up happens on a nightly basis and has done for the past 400-odd nights," he said.
"Things like that are staged to try and rile the crowd up. I was made aware he had come out with a whole crowd round him and their cameras already on."
The inspector said police had been trying to calm the situation.
"We do this protest on a nightly basis. If there was a medical emergency it would have been quite obvious and we would certainly facilitate that," he added.
"When I spoke to this man and gave him numerous chances to tell me what the problem was, he was just extremely verbally abusive and playing to the crowd."
The judge convicted Baxter of both counts of assault on police and disorderly behaviour, and ordered a pre-sentence report to be prepared.
By Tuesday evening, 700 more customers had been reconnected by engineers battling to repair damage to pylons and power lines.
A storm on Friday caused pylons to topple under sheets of snow and ice.
Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) said it hoped to restore power to all customers by Thursday night.
With more homes due to be reconnected throughout Tuesday evening, the power company said it expected a total of 925 homes in Kintyre and 725 in Arran to remain without supplies overnight.
A spokesman added: "Conditions continue to be challenging, but we believe that, providing no further significant damage to the network is found, customers who lost their supply as a result of the recent severe weather event should have electricity restored by the end of Thursday night."

Snow and gales blasted the west coast on Friday, plunging about 20,000 properties into darkness.
Power companies attempting to restore supplies have been co-ordinating with local authorities and emergency services to clear snow-closed roads and transfer engineers into remote areas.
Transport Minister Keith Brown paid tribute to everyone who had worked "incredibly hard" to open transport links and maintain and repair essential infrastructure, as well as all the volunteers and "ordinary people" who were helping their neighbours.
He also announced that Finance Secretary John Swinney had activated the Bellwin Scheme to allow additional revenue support to local authorities hit by the snow storms.
The scheme helps councils in the wake of large-scale incidents.
SSE said it had drafted in more than 400 engineering staff to Kintyre and Arran and had six helicopters operating across the affected areas.
The utility firm said the damage to the electricity network infrastructure in Kintyre and Arran had been "among the worst seen for 30 years".
A total of eight pylons have been damaged - three of them badly - in the Crossaig area of Argyll alone.
The power company said the last time a storm brought down one of its pylons was in 1987.
Sandy MacPherson has lived in Campbeltown, Kintyre, all his life and told BBC radio's Good Morning Scotland programme these were the worst conditions he had experienced.
"My wife and I have had nothing for four days," he said. "We've had no heating, lighting or cooking facilities."
"Had it not been for good neighbours and friends we would be really struggling."
He added: "We were warned on Monday/Tuesday about the extreme weather that was coming in and, similar to the M8 escapade two years ago, nothing was put in place to be ready for it.
"We are now just catching up and chasing our tail."
All schools in Arran will remain closed for the rest of the week.
North Ayrshire Council said pupils involved in exams would get support on their return from the Easter break.
Argyll and Bute Council said a few of its schools were closed due to having no electricity.
Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution (SHEPD) has organised eight mobile hot food outlets in Argyll and Arran, while 18 large generators and 50 smaller sets have been installed in the areas.
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon visited Campbeltown and the surrounding area on Tuesday to meet with affected residents.
She said: ""More and more people are now having power restored which is a tribute to the hard work of everyone involved - and the focus is on getting everyone back to normal as quickly as possible."
Mainland areas of Dumfries and Galloway were also badly affected by the severe weather on Friday and over the weekend.
On Monday evening ScottishPower said that all homes across the area had been reconnected to a main line electricity supply.

Instead of using cards, the service allows shoppers to use their smartphones to pay for in-store purchases.
Last month, Apple launched its own Apple Pay system in China, also in partnership with UnionPay.
China's smartphone market, the largest in the world, presents a huge business opportunity for mobile-payment systems.
Samsung Pay and Apple Pay will now compete with Alibaba's Alipay, which currently dominates China's electronic payments market.
However analysts told the BBC that mobile payment services provided by Alipay and WeChat were so dominant in China that international newcomers such as Apple and Samsung would face "an uphill battle" to win market share.
Tencent's WeChat also has a payment system which is popular in China, and telecommunications giant Huawei launched its own service earlier this month.
Read more: Samsung Pay and how it works
The South Korean electronics giant said Samsung Pay was now available in China on a range of smartphones including the Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+ and Galaxy Note5.
The firm said it would have "the opportunity to support additional mid-range models in the future".
In announcing its official launch, which has been expected since late last year, Samsung said that Samsung Pay currently supports select credit and debit cards of nine major banks in China including China CITIC Bank, China Construction Bank and China Everbright Bank.
Samsung has previously said it has one critical fact that will work in its favour: its technology works with a much larger number of existing payment terminals.
There has been a rapid take-up of smartphones in China, with an estimated 68% of the population now owning one. And digital wallets are becoming a more popular way to pay for goods and services.
Samsung said on Tuesday that its payment system was "simple, safe and easy to use" and that it worked "virtually anywhere you can swipe or tap your card in China".
Unlike Google Wallet and several other earlier payment apps, Samsung says there is no need to unlock its phones to launch a special app to get started.
Like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay will use near field communication technology (NFC), which needs a separate transaction device, but it will also support magnetic secure transmission technology which works on regular credit card machines.
However, Bryan Ma of IDC research firm told the BBC that Samsung would face the same challenges that Apple does in China.
"The use of Alipay and WeChat are so dominant in China that it's an uphill battle for both phone vendors, aside from some higher-end users in larger cities," he said.
"Making it worse for Samsung is it doesn't have the cachet that Apple does. And Samsung was number six in China's smartphone market in the fourth quarter of last year, with only 7% share, versus Apple at number two with 15% share," he added.
Samsung Pay is currently available in South Korea and the US. It is expected to become available in the UK this year.
They include new houses in Glasgow with support for veterans living there.
The way former service men and women are recorded on GP records will also be improved.
Minister for Veterans Keith Brown, himself a Falklands War veteran, has published a paper setting out the measures the government is pledged to implement.
The government has already allowed service personnel to apply for social housing before they leave the forces.
Now it will build a unit of 50 homes in Glasgow's Cranhill district where former servicemen and women will also have access to outreach support to help them adjust to civilian life.
The homes, being constructed by the Scottish Veterans' Housing Association at a cost of £6.5m, will be ready by the end of 2013.
The Scottish government is providing £2.3m towards the overall cost of the project.
The Armed Forces Commitments Paper also addresses the medical needs of former service personnel who may have mental health issues, addiction or suicide concerns.
GP records will be improved to ensure doctors can identify service-related conditions.
Launching the paper at Edinburgh Castle, Mr Brown said the bravery, loyalty and professionalism of Scotland's servicemen and women deserved the government's wholehearted care and support.
He said :"This commitments paper sets out our obligations to serving personnel, their families, reservists, veterans and the bereaved and how we will continue to meet these.
"With input from partner organisations like Veterans Scotland, we will continue to develop, deliver and implement new and innovative policies to support this dedicated group of men and women."
Among other pledges are examining how the NHS can provide the best support possible for family members when reservists are away on operations and encouraging more injured service personnel to take up sport and potentially get involved with events such as the Paralympics.
Veterans' charities have welcomed the commitments announced which they said would allow them to ensure help and support are available to those who have served in the armed forces.
Martin Gibson, of Veterans Scotland, said: "The coherence of the paper's policies will allow Veterans Scotland and the military charities to work in a well defined arena which will go a significant way to ensuring that help and support will be available to our veterans wherever it is needed."
The Rt Hon Donald Wilson, Lord Lieutenant, Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh and Veterans Champion, said: "Edinburgh has a long and proud tradition of honouring its military service personnel and veterans for the immense sacrifice they make day in and day out to keep this country and its people safe.
"Sending people to war is a huge responsibility but supporting them when they return is just as important.
"In my role as Veterans Champion for Edinburgh, I will work closely with the Scottish government on fulfilling the commitments set out in this paper."
St Andrews University academic Nathan Bailey, 34, admitted responsibility for the crash on the M9 that claimed the life of Ronald Highcock.
The 83-year-old died in hospital in May 2013, three weeks after the motorway collision near Bridge of Allan.
Bailey was sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid work and a one-year driving ban.
Mr Highcock and his wife were travelling home from their wedding anniversary dinner on 28 April when the crash happened near junction 10 of the dual carriageway.
Bailey's Renault Clio hit the side of Mr Highcock's Citroen Saxo, which was travelling at about 40-45mph, causing both cars to crash off the road and down an embankment.
Mr Highcock's car crashed head-on into a tree, and he had to be cut free by fire crews.
He managed to give a statement to police at Forth Valley Royal Hospital before he died, succumbing to chest injuries sustained in the crash and a secondary cause of heart disease on 20 May.
American citizen Bailey, of Dundee, pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving at Stirling Sheriff Court.
Defence advocate Gavin Anderson submitted a number of defences of Bailey's character, including a letter from his professor at the university's school of biology describing him as "one of the leading researchers in the world" in his field.
Sheriff William Gilchrist said it was "clear" the crash had resulted from Bailey's failure to notice Mr Highcock's car was travelling on the motorway at "a slow rate".
He said: "This was clearly a tragic incident.
"Not only was it a tragedy for the deceased and his family, it is also clear that the accident has had a profound impact on you.
"I am satisfied this was a case of careless driving involving inattention and having regard to that, and your lack of record, and to your genuine remorse and your lack of aggravating factors I will impose a 12-month community payback order."
Worshippers flocked to the compound after Muslim leaders lifted a two-week boycott following Israel's reversal.
The measures were introduced by Israel after the killing of two Israeli policemen nearby.
But the violence that has gripped the city continued, with more than 130 injured in clashes with police.
Palestinians were seen chanting and dancing in the alleyways outside the compound, before entering for afternoon prayers on Thursday.
But violence broke out shortly afterwards, according to news agency AFP, with police trying to control the crowds by firing stun grenades and tear gas.
According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, 136 Palestinians were hurt, both inside the Old City complex known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as the Temple Mount, and in the immediate area.
A total of 21 people were taken to hospital, the Red Crescent said, while one officer was wounded, according to reports.
Israeli police say officers responded after stones were thrown at them at the site's gates.
Palestinians had fiercely objected to the new security set-up, seeing it as an Israeli attempt to exert control over the Old City complex known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as the Temple Mount.
The last pieces were removed on Thursday after days of violence in which seven people were killed.
Last week Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said he was freezing all contacts with Israel, including security co-operation, until Israel cancelled the new measures.
There have been intensive diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis, involving the US and Jordan, which is custodian of the holy site and has a large Palestinian population.
The Israeli government has not yet commented on its decision to completely dismantle the infrastructure. Observers say it is a climbdown by Prime Minister Netanyahu, which will put him at odds with more right-wing members of his cabinet.
Education Minister Naftali Bennett, a political rival to Mr Netanyahu and whose party is part of the ruling coalition, criticised the decision.
"Israel comes out weakened from this crisis," he told Israel's Army Radio. "Instead of sending a message about Israel's sovereignty on the Temple Mount, it sent a message that Israel's sovereignty can be questioned."
Tom Bateman, BBC News, Jerusalem
Aside from inflaming decades-old issues, this dispute has also been notable for the fierce criticism that leaders on either side have faced from some in their own constituencies.
As I watched Palestinian protests last Friday, people chanted not only against what they see as illegal occupation, but also against Mahmoud Abbas who they perceived as failing to represent them.
It may go some way to explain his tough stance earlier this week when his Fatah faction called for Palestinians to "intensify the popular struggle" despite Israel's removal of the metal detectors.
Meanwhile, the Israeli prime minister has seen the right-wing of his coalition government excoriate the removal of the security measures as "weakening" Israel.
A poll this week suggested 77% of Israelis felt the government had "capitulated" in the face of Palestinian pressure, while a usually vehemently pro-Netanyahu newspaper branded the PM "helpless" and "feeble".
This week's crisis may hold some important lessons about how leaders will have to ride the waves of popular pressure when it comes to any new effort to solve the wider conflict.
The issue of control in East Jerusalem, occupied by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war, is one of the most contentious areas of dispute with the Palestinians.
Israel claims sovereignty over the whole of Jerusalem, though this is not recognised by the international community. Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a sought-after state.
In a separate development, Mr Netanyahu accused the Qatar-funded, pan-Arab Al Jazeera TV channel of fuelling the crisis.
"The Al Jazeera network continues to stir violence around the Temple Mount," he posted in Hebrew on his Facebook page, vowing to "enact the required legislation to expel Al Jazeera from Israel".
Palestinians sang, danced and let off fireworks as railings and security camera gantries were removed from the Lions' Gate entrance near the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif in the early hours of Thursday morning.
"For 12 days no-one has slept, no-one has done anything except the al-Aqsa mosque," bystander Firas Abasi told AFP news agency.
He said he felt like crying over what he called a "victory".
Mass prayer gatherings had been held in the street outside the Old City walls and near-daily clashes between Israeli security forces and demonstrators have taken place since the metal detectors were introduced in the wake of the killings of the policemen near the site on 14 July.
Four Palestinians were killed and three Israeli civilians stabbed to death by a Palestinian who said he was avenging Israel actions at the site.
Israel said the security measures were necessary because the weapons used to kill the police had been smuggled on to the compound.
Earlier this week, it vowed to bolster its police presence around the site and introduce less obtrusive security measures over the next six months, including unspecified "advanced technologies".
There was an 18% fall in complaints in 2013-14 compared with the previous year, to 123,218, the Consumer Council for Water said.
This was the lowest level since the watchdog was formed in 2005.
However, it said that this momentum could be lost if water companies failed to deliver affordable bills.
Billing and charges still account for the highest proportion of complaints, some 57% of all gripes.
Four companies - South West Water, Affinity Water, Severn Trent Water and Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water - reported an increase in complaints.
Southern Water and South East Water, while reporting drops in complaint numbers, were described as remaining "too far adrift" of the rest of the industry.
Darren Bentham, Southern Water's chief customer officer, said: "While our performance in 2013/14 saw a big improvement, we are still lower down the results table than we want to be - and where our customers want us to be. However, we are continuing to make changes which ensure we focus on our customers - from training, to new systems and an improved website."
Steve George, customer services director at South East Water, said: "Although our focus is to prevent problems, when things go wrong for our customers we are always sorry and we endeavour to fix things as quickly as possible."
In August, regulator Ofwat proposed that household water bills in England and Wales should go up less than the rising cost of living in the next five years.
It proposed that bills should be an average of 5% lower, before inflation was applied, by 2019-20.
Although telephone complaints were also falling at the same time as written complaints, these trends could reverse if prices were not set at the correct level, the Consumer Council for Water said.
"Affordability remains a huge challenge for the industry with one in five customers telling us their water bill is not affordable," said Tony Smith, the watchdog's chief executive.
"Water companies and the regulator Ofwat must deliver prices for the next five years that customers can afford and find acceptable or risk a backlash from struggling households."

For Washington and its allies, including what little is left of the so-called "moderate Syrian opposition", this is deeply unwelcome, especially if the targets do turn out to include US-backed rebels. They see it as prolonging an unwinnable war and delaying the departure of a Syrian president who is now unacceptable to a large part of his population.
But for Syria's Assad regime and its Iranian allies, the arrival of Russian firepower is quite the opposite - it is a lifeline that could shore up the exhausted Syrian army, regain territory lost this year and crush all the rebel opposition except the hardcore jihadists of so-called Islamic State (IS) and the Nusra Front.
So what are the likely consequences?
The most immediate concern for Washington is that its air force collides, catastrophically, with Russia's in the skies over Syria.
Avoiding this is called "deconfliction" and it is supposed to be a carefully planned and co-ordinated process.
The US says it was given just one hour's notice on Wednesday to "clear the skies" before Russia's warplanes went in on their first bombing run, hitting Syrian rebel positions in the west of the country. Russia says it targeted IS, while US Senator John McCain says CIA-backed rebels were hit.
The US runs its air operations out of Al-Udaid Airbase in Qatar, allocating and prioritising IS targets across Syria and Iraq and sharing them out amongst the multinational coalition that includes several Arab countries.
But this week a new command centre has been announced, in Baghdad, where operations will be planned by Russia, Iran, Syria and Iraq.
This is the pro-Assad axis that wants to see Syria's President Bashar al-Assad remain in power. IS will undoubtedly feature on their target list but those four countries also consider all rebel groups opposed to Assad as the enemy.
This view does not fit in with that of the US-led coalition and will complicate and undermine the international effort to defeat IS.
Once the new Baghdad command centre is up and running there could then be two different command centres in the Middle East, operating two different campaigns against two different sets of enemies.
Despite the additional firepower of the newly arrived Russian air force, this development is very likely to be welcomed by the leadership of IS.
In order to maintain its global charisma it needs to constantly innovate, taking new territory, taking on new enemies or inventing new and ever more horrific ways of killing its captives.
The entry of Russia into the Syrian conflict, albeit in the air not on the ground, will be a perfect recruiting sergeant for IS.
The propaganda videos are doubtless already being prepared. The Russians are, after all, the same historic enemy fought by the Mujahideen in Afghanistan throughout the 1980s and eventually defeated (with US, Saudi and Pakistani help).
The prospect of Russian pilots attacking Muslim fighters on the ground will be embarrassing to Arab governments who will not want their air forces to be seen as on the same side.
The result is likely to be more recruits joining the extremists of IS and Al-Nusra, both from within Syria and from outside the region.
Sandwiched between the two big fighting forces of Assad's army and IS are a whole host of minor rebel groups with obscure names, like Tajammu al-Izza, who say they were hit by Russian air strikes on Wednesday.
Some of these groups are perceived by the West as being "moderate" but most have been steadily weakened and plagued by defections, defeats and capture.
With the reported arrival in Syria of hundreds of Iranian troops, the build-up there of Russian forces and a newly active Russian stance, the indications are that Assad and his allies are going after crushing the minor rebel groups, leaving only the extremists of IS and al-Nusra.
They will then be able to say: "Look, you may not like him but Assad is the only alternative to the medieval head-choppers of IS".
Saudi Arabia and possibly Turkey are not going to take this development lying down.
Along with some other countries in the region they have long insisted that the only lasting solution to the Syrian crisis is for President Assad to go.
Since the Russians and Iranians are protecting him, both diplomatically and militarily, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been quietly funding and arming various rebel Islamist groups inside Syria, prompting some to accuse them of supporting IS or al-Qaeda or both.
Back in 2013 the Saudis were all prepared to join in US attacks on Assad's forces as punishment for the mass poison gas attack on Syrian civilians.
When that did not materialise they stepped up their own support for Syria's Islamist rebel groups. Now that level of support is likely to be increased again, to match the newly bolstered might of Assad's forces.
The net result of all this is likely to be a further prolonging of the stalemate in Syria.
As long as one side thinks it can win, or at least not lose, then it will be reluctant to come to the negotiating table and make substantial concessions.
There have been many times since 2011 when "Middle East experts" opined that President Assad was doomed and would not last the year. He has defied them all.
Now, with the injection of this Russian tonic, he will be more tempted than ever to tough it out. And so the fighting will continue, until eventually it boils down to Assad and his allies v IS and al-Qaeda, with Washington increasingly unable to influence the outcome.
Unless something changes dramatically, peace in Syria is not even on the horizon.
Stanley defender Matty Pearson could have settled the issue late on but shot wastefully wide as John Coleman's side failed to take their chances.
Accrington were also denied by the woodwork and found keeper Glenn Morris in good form.
Visting keeper Elliot Parish came to his side's rescue in only the fifth minute by producing a tremendous reaction save to deny James Collins following a cross from Dutchman Enzio Boldewijn.
Sean McConville set up Terry Gornell at the other end but Crawley keeper Glenn Morris kept out his goal-bound effort.
Defender Pearson was twice off target for Accrington after Boldewijn fired over from a good position for the hosts.
Both sides went close shortly before the interval with keeper Parish saving well from Collins before a low drive from Jordan Clark was parried by opposite number Morris.
Crawley skipper Jimmy Smith cleared off the line from Omar Beckles and Accrington winger John O'Sullivan later shot against a post after Patrick Lacey had an effort blocked.

The incidents, such as operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside patients, are categorised by the Department of Health as "never events".
This means they are incidents that are so serious they should never happen.
NHS England admitted the figures were too high and said it had introduced new measures to ensure patient safety.
The department has categorised 25 incidents that should never happen if national safety recommendations are followed by medical staff. The BBC discovered through Freedom of Information requests to NHS trusts that the majority of mistakes fell into four categories.
There were 322 cases of foreign objects left inside patients during operations; 214 cases of surgery on the wrong body part; 73 cases of tubes, which are used for feeding patients or for medication, being inserted into patients' lungs; and 58 cases of wrong implants or prostheses being fitted.

Frances, whose name has been changed to protect her identity, was admitted to hospital last year for a hysterectomy. After her operation, surgeons realised that a swab was missing and had been left inside her.
They immediately carried out a second operation to remove it, but during this procedure a drain was left in her abdomen. A few weeks later, she was taken back into hospital as she was seriously ill and in severe pain.
Frances underwent emergency surgery to remove the drain, which had caused a large, pus-filled abscess to develop. She has now been left with a colostomy and faces further surgery.
"My initial reaction was 'no'. They can't do it twice," she said.
"They did an internal inquiry and the consultant who was leading the internal inquiry said on a couple of occasions he couldn't understand how this has happened, because the procedures for this sort of thing were written in stone.
"Thinking about it philosophically, better the colostomy than a coffin. I had one foot in a coffin so it's the better option. I'd rather be here than up the crematorium with a wreath on me."
Ian Cohen, a medical negligence solicitor and head of medical negligence at Goodmans Law, based in Liverpool, said the whole system of reporting "never events" was flawed.
"I think the figures are shocking," he said. "They really are the tip of the iceberg.
"There is an emphasis on the 'never event', but actually there is a bigger picture: missing the fact that we have hundred of thousands of adverse incidents, never mind just 25 particular categories. And the danger is that it takes the focus away from a much wider problem."
He argued that hospitals have no incentive to report "never events" because they may have to reimburse the cost of the procedure to the NHS as well as paying for the patients' long-term care.
"If that's the case, surely that does not encourage openness if there are already problems with the budget in the NHS," he said.
Horrific as these incidents are, it is important to put them in context. On average each year there are 4.6 million hospital admissions to the NHS in England that require surgery. The NHS says the risk of a "never event" happening to you is one in 20,000.
Dr Mike Durkin, director of patient safety for NHS England, said the 700 "never events" were "too many". He said: "One is too many in any week, in any day, in any hospital."
He added that NHS England had started collating the data to help educate staff on better practice.
"We need to understand what it is, in some systems and in some hospitals, that that team working hasn't produced an effective outcome and a mistake, and a 'never event' has occurred," Dr Durkin said.
"This is not just the concern of one operating theatre in one hospital. It should be the concern of the leadership of that organisation, of the trust, so that they lead that trust and support both the staff in the operating theatres to work effectively, but also recognise their responsibility for leading safety across the whole of the trust."
The World Health Organisation's patient safety checklist has also been adapted for use in England and Wales.
However, when the patient safety rules are not followed, the results can be catastrophic, as Margaret, whose name has also been changed for reasons of privacy, found.
Her mother was admitted to hospital after a stroke. But medical staff put a feeding tube into her lungs rather than her stomach. Nutritional fluids went into her lungs, she contracted pneumonia and died.
"You feel guilty because when she [was] talking to us she kept saying she wanted to come out, and we kept saying, 'You can't come out, mum, until you get better," Margaret said.
"You feel angry after, because you think someone's killed your mum. No, they probably didn't do it on purpose but that's how it feels. You feel that somebody's killed her."
Margaret is still awaiting a date for an inquest. She thinks staff failed to follow basic procedure by omitting to give her mother an X-ray to check the tube's location. NHS guidance says that, if in doubt, this should be done as a secondary test.
The No Poll movement is taking advantage of a new law allowing advisory referendums.
The Dutch parliament had already backed the EU deal, which removes trade barriers between the EU and Ukraine.
But campaigners fear that it could be a step towards EU membership and would cost Dutch taxpayers billions of euros.
"This is a chance to say we're here too," says Eurosceptic Thierry Baudet, who argues that Dutch voters should have their say on policies such as EU expansion, legislation and aid packages.
In particular he says the treaty would enable Ukrainians to travel without visas across Europe when their country is in conflict with Russia.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych triggered months of unrest in Ukraine and eventually his overthrow when he pulled back from signing the EU Association Agreement in November 2013.
Since then, Ukraine's new government has signed the deal and parts of the treaty have provisionally come into place.
The trade part of the agreement will come into provisional effect on 1 January 2016, but will not be fully in force until all 28 EU member states ratify it. Six countries have yet to do so.
"A very big part of the agreement such as political dialogue on financial co-operation [will come into effect] but not everything," a spokeswoman told the BBC.
Under the new Dutch law, which requires 300,000 signatures to trigger a vote, the referendum has to take place within six months.
Although the result will not be binding on the government, it will have to be considered if turnout is above 30% and a majority votes against the agreement.
Jan Roos from No Poll ("GeenPeil" in Dutch) said it was vital for turnout to go above 30% as it would then be "hard for the cabinet to again ignore the voice of the people".
Michael Slager, who is white, has been charged with violating the civil rights of Walter Scott, who was unarmed and running away when he was shot.
The state has already brought murder charges over the traffic stop that ended in tragedy in April 2015.
A lawyer for Mr Scott's family said the federal charges were historic.
Chris Stewart said: "This is history in so many ways. This never happens."
As well as a civil rights violation, the federal charges also include obstruction of justice and unlawful use of a weapon during the commission of a crime.
The case reignited a long-running debate in the US about the police use of lethal force, especially against African Americans.
Video footage filmed from the dashcam of Mr Slager's car showed what looked like a routine traffic stop - until Mr Scott got out of the car with the police officer in pursuit.
Although the video does not capture Mr Slager firing eight shots, gunshots and shouting are heard off-screen.
A second video filmed by a bystander shows the pair scuffle and then Mr Scott fleeing again.
His death sparked rallies in North Charleston, with chants of "No justice, no peace".
Mr Slager was fired from his job and North Charleston approved a $6.5m civil settlement with Mr Scott's family last autumn.
Last month, Dr McDonnell, a GP, said doctors cannot predict when a foetus has a lethal abnormality.
Mr McDonnell made his comments as he stated his party's opposition to abortion in cases of lethal foetal abnormality or rape.
Dr Samina Dornan said he "undermined our professional integrity."
"He instilled a lack of confidence in the public about our ability to do our job," Dr Dornan, a consultant at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital said on Radio Ulster's Nolan Show.
"It's amazing that he, as a member of the UK parliament, is coming out with statements like this - and he's a doctor.
"He's telling the world that our professionals are not up to their job."
The Department of Justice (DoJ) recently ran a public consultation on proposals to change Northern Ireland's abortion law, which differs from the rest of the UK.
Currently, a termination is only legal in Northern Ireland if a woman's life is at risk or if there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to her mental or physical health.
The DoJ recommended allowing abortion in lethal abnormality cases.
However, speaking on the BBC's Inside Politics programme last month, Dr McDonnell said: "The SDLP is unequivocally opposed to abortion, even in those particular circumstances because basically, the predictions in those circumstances are never accurate.
"Nobody can predict that a foetus is not viable and that's the problem.
"As a GP, I'm fully aware, I have seen situations where termination or an abortion was recommended to somebody because a foetus that had this, that or the other thing, and that foetus grew up to be a perfectly normal child."
Dr McDonnell has since told the assembly he was misquoted.
The body of Nicholas Clark, 63, was discovered behind a former gym in Gloucester Road, Patchway on 10 April.
Police said a cannabis factory was discovered at Mr Clark's home in Catbrain Lane, Patchway, but his death is not being treated as suspicious.
Paul Jackson, 39, of Catbrain Lane, was also charged with theft and one count of producing a class B drug.
He was released on bail and will appear before Bristol Magistrates Court on 12 November.
A 29-year-old man from Bristol has been charged with two counts of producing a class B drug.

"We were just a little bit sloppy, at times," said Barclay, 29.
"If we look after the ball, go through phases and are clinical, we score tries."
A first-half penalty try, WP Nel's score in the second period and 16 points from the boot of Greig Laidlaw outweighed Shota Hosie's early try and eight points kicked by Yu Tamara for Japan.
"Lots to work on - looking after the ball in contact, accuracy," Barclay told BBC Scotland.
"We defended well but just kept giving the ball back to them. If we play like that next week, we'll probably struggle again.
"When we did have the ball, we looked quite dangerous."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Barclay admitted the humid conditions made life difficult for the tourists and added: "Hopefully, it's one of those things that you get used to after a game and next week won't impact on us quite as much."
Rory Sutherland, an early replacement for Alasdair Dickinson, described Saturday's match in Toyota City as "really tough".
"I just had to dig deep and keep battling on," he added.
"Our ball retention was pretty good. What let us down? Penalties, handling errors.
"We're not used to that style of rugby. We're not used to playing such a fast side and I thought that's where we were going to struggle.
"All in all, we stayed calm and composed and that's what won us the game."

The ex-Black Caps batsman had been suffering from lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system, for a second time.
He received the all-clear from the disease in 2012 but confirmed in September 2014 that it had returned.
Auckland-born Crowe is widely regarded as one of New Zealand's best players, scoring 17 centuries and 5,444 runs in 77 Tests at an average of 45.36.
His family announced his death "with heavy hearts", adding that he "passed away peacefully" on Thursday.
Crowe captained the Kiwis in 16 Test matches and his highest score was 299 against Sri Lanka in Wellington in 1991.
Named one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year in 1985, he was player of the tournament at the 1992 World Cup, scoring 456 runs in nine matches.
Obituary: Martin Crowe - cricket's tortured genius
Crowe also had a spell with English county side Somerset between 1984 and 1988, and scored a total of 19,608 first-class runs in his career.
He retired in 1996 with a knee injury and went on to become a television commentator and author.
He also helped develop Cricket Max - a precursor to Twenty20.
In 2014, after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Crowe said he could "happily live with" New Zealand's World Cup final against Australia being potentially the last match he ever saw.
"My precarious life ahead may not afford me the luxury of many more games to watch and enjoy," he wrote on ESPN Cricinfo. "So this is likely to be it. The last, maybe, and I can happily live with that."
His older brother, Jeff, played 39 Tests for New Zealand between 1983 and 1990, while he was a cousin of the Hollywood actor Russell Crowe.
BBC Sport's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce:
Martin Crowe grew up with cricket in his blood - his father played first-class cricket, his mother was the outstanding female player of her generation, his brother played Test cricket alongside him - and as a batsman he was a classicist, with a seemingly natural ability to play every shot in the book with a combination of grace and timing that caused the purists to swoon as much as bowlers to toil.
As a man, he was more revolutionary than that timeless style would ever had indicated - changing the face of one-day cricket with his innovations as his country's captain at the 1992 World Cup, coming up with a format that prefigured the start of T20, going through a rebirthing programme to help him deal with his frequent bouts of depression, marrying a former Miss Universe. Singular in his chosen sport, atypical beyond it.
Laws, 42, started six months of chemotherapy this week.
The Kenya-born cyclist, a former British champion in time trial, road racing and mountain biking, and retired in August.
"As a professional cyclist I've had my share of setbacks. I have come back each time," she said in a statement.
"I hope that these experiences and my life as a professional athlete have prepared me for what will be my biggest challenge so far."
Laws was advised to have a biopsy on swollen lymph glands by her team doctor at Podium Ambition in late July, after initially attributing them to "a series of colds".
After discovering they were secondary cancer tumours, tests revealed further infected lymph nodes in the pelvis, and cervical cancer.
"Obviously I am trying to come to terms with what is happening," said Laws, who competed at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
"I had exciting retirement plans - learning Spanish and volunteer work in South America, bike guiding and environmental consultancy. These will now have to be put on hold."

One has caused a "significant fish kill", and been traced to a business park near Llantrisant.
Three incidents in south west Wales are believed to be from agricultural slurry spreading.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said it was "disappointed" farmers were not following best practice.
Spreading slurry in the days before forecasted heavy rain or in wet ground conditions can lead to water pollution, said Huwel Manley, NRW operations manager.
He added: "We understand that farmers are keen to empty slurry stores at this time of year, but we are disappointed that farmers and contractors are not following best practice.
"Our officers will continue to assess the full impact of these latest pollution incidents and will be out on site again in the morning assessing the environmental impact."
In December, more than 1,000 fish died as a result of what is believed to have been a slurry leak in the Tregaron area.
NRW have urged people to report any pollution, dead fish or fish in distress.
Edge Hill University is offering the course to third-year students on performing arts or dance and drama degree courses.
The university said it was the first higher education institution to offer a module dedicated to drag.
Senior lecturer Mark Edward said there was a lot more to drag studies than "wigs, make-up and high heels".
Those taking the subject would examine the relationships between performance, gender, sexuality and identity, the Ormskirk-based institution said.
The course will also look at topics such as drag performance, lip-synching, costume, the use of humour and the theories and histories of areas such as gay and lesbian theatre, transgender identities, HIV and Aids and activism.
Mr Edward said: "Despite the fact that performers have been 'dragging up' since Shakespearean times, this module is completely unique in exploring the crossing of boundaries in terms of gender and performance.
"The 2010 Education Act meant that providers of education, including universities, must go beyond non-discrimination based on gender, and in fact, promote equality, and Edge Hill has a fantastic reputation in promoting minority groups in terms of sexual identities."
Mr Edward said the module would also look at complex theories of gender, feminist and sexual identity to explore the social and political implication of "doing gender" in performance.
"Drag as a performance art form has seen a relative decline in the past decade, yet there are new and exciting emerging forms coming through which makes this module all the more relevant to performance contexts," he added.
"There's a lot more to drag studies than wigs, make-up and high heels." | Britain's Owen Pick and Ben Moore both won medals in the banked slalom events at the 2017 Para Snowboard World Championships in Big White, Canada.

They say figures to be published on Thursday show only 100 Syrians have been given shelter in the UK.
In a letter to Prime Minister David Cameron, charities and aid agencies have urged him to allow thousands more refugees to come to the country.
Figures are also expected to show the government is failing to hit its target of reducing net migration by 2015.
In January the government announced its "vulnerable person relocation scheme" aimed at helping the most needy people fleeing the war-torn country.
The scheme expects to relocate only a few hundred Syrians over the next three years.
But Oxfam, Save the Children, Amnesty International, the Refugee Council and more than 25 other organisations said that target was grossly inadequate.
In a letter to Mr Cameron the charities said: "Figures released today will show that Britain has only so far resettled around 100 Syrian refugees, a woefully inadequate number compared to the scale of the crisis.
"While we applaud Britain's generous aid contribution to the crisis, it is clear that aid alone is not enough. Syria's neighbours are struggling under the weight of this unprecedented crisis and it is time we stopped asking of them what we are not doing ourselves."
The letter said it wanted the rich and developed countries to agree collectively to resettle at least 5% of the total Syrian refugee population by the end of 2015.
"This is a modest but proportionate contribution and Britain's fair share of that would involve offering hope for up to 10,000 Syrians in that time. That's less than 0.3% of all the refugees, but would transform, even save, lives," the letter said.
Oxfam chief executive Mark Goldring said: "It's unlike this country not to offer people a safe haven.
"Our government has a responsibility to rise above domestic politics and see this for what it is: Britain giving safe, often temporary, homes to people in the direst of need."
And Refugee Council chief executive Maurice Wren added: "While the prospects for peace appear more remote than ever, the future for Syria's refugees is bleak.
"Unable to return home, these people's lives depend on the compassion and generosity of countries like ours."
The UK is the second biggest financial contributor to aid funds for the war-torn country, and has provided more than £600m to date.
In terms of immigration numbers, Mr Cameron has previously said he intended to cut the level of net migration down to the tens of thousands by next year.
The new figures, to be published by the Office of National Statistics (ONS), will indicate whether progress has been made towards this objective.
The last set of figures - published at the end of August - showed overall net migration rose to 243,000 in the year to March, up from 175,000 the previous year.
Immigration increased 13% from 492,000 in the previous year to 560,000, while the number of people leaving the UK remained stable at 316,000, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) said. | Britain has made a "woefully inadequate" attempt to resettle Syrian refugees, charities have said. | 30,221,706 | 650 | 25 | false |
