The Home Affairs Committee heard evidence about the councils, which use Islamic law to grant divorces.
Maryam Namazi, of One Law for All, said the council process was "tantamount to abuse", with women told to stay silent and domestic violence justified.
Khola Hasan, a woman who sits on a UK Sharia council, said they offered women a service not available elsewhere.
At the hearing, witnesses explained that even after a civil divorce, a family or community might not accept the marriage was over until a religious divorce had taken place.
MPs also heard that between 30 and 40% of Muslim marriages were religious only, meaning the women did not have the same rights as wives in a civil marriage.
Zlakha Ahmed, founder of Rotherham-based domestic violence organisation Apna Haq, said that without Sharia councils most of the women she had helped would still be in "limping marriages".
She said their husband might be living with another woman, while they did the housework and were treated as a slave.
But asked if the councils were discriminatory, she nodded, saying: "There are certain behaviours that need challenging."
Another witness - Shaista Gohir, chair of the Muslim Women's Network UK - called on the government to make civil marriage compulsory before Islamic marriage, and fine imams who contravened this.
She said her organisation was trying to encourage more Muslim women to get a civil marriage.
Ms Gohir said it was then a case of educating Muslim communities that a civil divorce meant a religious divorce, which would eventually make Sharia councils redundant.
She advised against sudden abolition of the councils, saying it would drive the problem underground, push up Sharia divorce charges and reduce transparency.
In the meantime, she called for councils to:
She also suggested that the government should draw up a list of those councils which followed best practice.
Khola Hasan, who also gave evidence, told the BBC that the UK's estimated 30 Sharia councils were giving Muslim women a service they could not get anywhere else.
"They cannot go to English law for a religious divorce because they don't have a civil marriage," she said.
She insisted the system was transparent and not arbitrary.
"I think there are backstreet Sharia councils that are operating without any kind of policy and procedure and those are problematic and that's what we do need to be looking at," she said.
"We cannot tar all Sharia councils with the same brush and say they are all misogynistic and unfair to women."
The committee hearing is one of two government inquiries into Sharia law.
In an open letter, more than 100 Muslim women have complained that the inquiries are aimed at banning - not reforming - Sharia councils. | Sharia councils discriminate against Muslim women when they are seeking a religious divorce, MPs have been told. | 37,838,496 | 620 | 26 | false |
The message accuses the US government of "killing our innocent civilians".
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, is charged with 30 counts related to the bombings, which killed three people and wounded more than 260 in April 2013.
He could face the death penalty if found guilty.
Jurors in the US District Court in Boston were shown a photograph of the pencil-written message displayed on a screen.
There were bullet holes through the side of the boat, obliterating some of the words, and lines of blood running through the message.
Mr Tsarnaev was found hiding in a boat in the backyard of a house just outside Boston after a huge police manhunt days after the bombings. He was seriously wounded and taken to hospital.
His elder brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev - who was also sought for the bombings - had been fatally wounded hours earlier in a gun battle with police.
The message reads: "I do not mourn because his soul is very much alive. God has a plan for each person. Mine was to hide in this boat and shed some light on our actions.''
It adds: "US Government is killing our innocent civilians. I don't like killing innocent people it is forbidden in Islam but due to said [word lost by bullet hole] it is allowed."
Earlier in the trial, the defence made the surprise admission that Mr Tsarnaev had participated in the attacks.
But defence lawyers argue that his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, had been the driving force behind the attacks.
The prosecution says Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who emigrated with his family from Chechnya, had extremist views and wanted to hit back at the US in revenge for military action in Muslim countries.
The trial is expected to last three to four months.
Productivity growth since the credit crunch has been dreadful and that matters, because unless we make more and work more efficiently we cannot pay ourselves more.
In an attempt to understand what is going wrong, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) is bringing all its productivity statistics together and conducting new research. It throws up some interesting details and possible explanations about what is going wrong.
Output per hour worked increased by 0.4% in the three months to September last year, that is an improvement but according to (ONS) economist Richard Heys: "It is still weak compared to that experienced in the recent past."
Part of the reason for low productivity lies in Britain's regions. While London and south-eastern England have productivity well above the national average and equal to the levels seen in rival economies like France and Germany, the rest of the country lags behind.
Tower Hamlets, which includes the financial district of Canary Wharf, is the most productive part of the country, a huge 79% more productive than average.
Powys in central Wales is the least productive and, overall, Wales and Northern Ireland have productivity levels 19% below the national average.
The only towns in the country that have above average productivity are London, Aberdeen (centre of the off-shore oil industry) and Bristol (a high tech and aviation industry hub).
The least productive city is Sheffield, once home to a huge steel industry but now lagging well behind; Sheffield is 19% less productive than the national average.
This part of the productivity puzzle is perhaps the best understood. The most productive industry is finance and that is concentrated in London, while many regions suffer from poor infrastructure and communications and have never recovered from the loss of major parts of their economy in previous decades: mining, heavy engineering, ship building and many more.
Perhaps more interesting, is new research by the ONS into the efficiency of family-owned and run manufacturing firms.
That found well-structured management practices were better among larger businesses, multinationals and family-owned businesses that were not managed by members of the owning families. To put it bluntly the management of family-run firms (which make up more than half of all manufacturing companies) is awful.
Even a small improvement in management would see a huge boost in productivity in such businesses.
At first sight this might seem strange, but there is a fairly obvious explanation.
What are the odds that the best-qualified and most competent person in the world to run a business just happens to be the son or daughter of the current boss?
As one economist has put it, this is like selecting the children of previous gold medallists to be members of the country's next Olympic team, rather than picking the best athletes.
There is also the issue of how such companies will attract top staff if they know nepotism means they will never make it to the top, which helps explain why the handling of promotions was one of the issues most associated with productivity.
Solving the productivity gap in the UK will not be an easy job, certainly better regional policies would help, but just convincing family- run firms to appoint competent outsiders to run their business would also have a huge effect.
Smethwick-born Hughes, 40, will work as joint-manager with John Snape at City, who will be in the Southern League - the seventh tier of English football.
Hughes was a City player when he first expressed an interest in succeeding Carl Heeley when he left in February.
Having been passed over, he joined Midlands rivals AFC Telford United.
But, having helped Telford stay in National League North, he left on Wednesday to return to Worcester, with whom he will carry on playing.
A club statement said: "The Board are excited with this new venture.
"During his time at the club, Lee Hughes was an influential part of the team.
"His new role as joint-manager will allow him to continue playing football, while the club utilise his vast experience and knowledge to coach and develop players."
Snape was already in joint charge of City - with midfielder Danny Jackman - after the long-serving Heeley stood down on 8 February after 22 years with the club.
Former roofer Hughes started his career with Kidderminster Harriers before joining West Bromwich Albion, who he left for £5m when he signed for Coventry City in 2001.
He scored 203 league goals with seven different clubs and spent three years out of the game when he was sent to prison in August 2004 for causing death by dangerous driving.
After his release from prison in August 2007, he played at Oldham, Blackpool, Notts County and Port Vale.
He moved back to non-league football with Forest Green Rovers in January 2014, after which he returned to Kidderminster. After a brief stop at Ilkeston, Hughes joined Worcester in September 2015.
Most renowned for their FA Cup win over then Second Division side Liverpool in 1959, Worcester have a history as a healthily-supported non-league club.
They were founder members of the Alliance Premier League when English football went to a fifth division in 1979.
But they have since mostly operated at sixth-tier level - and financial problems forced them to sell their old St George's Lane home four years ago,
After three seasons sharing with Kidderminster Harriers at Aggborough, they have spent this season sharing Bromsgrove Rovers' home at Victoria Road.
But, while they await the next stage in their long-term battle to return to the city, they can look forward to several local derbies next season - against Redditch United, Stratford Town and promoted Hereford FC.
Terrence Hughes, 53, was one of three guards escorting Jimmy Mubenga from the UK when he collapsed in his seat before take-off from Heathrow.
His cries of "I can't breathe" were ignored and he was kept handcuffed with his head forced down for 36 minutes, the Old Bailey trial has heard.
Mr Mubenga died on 12 October 2010.
The 46-year-old married father had suffered a heart attack and was pronounced dead in hospital.
Mr Hughes, from Hampshire, Colin Kaler, 51, from Bedfordshire, and Stuart Tribelnig, 38, from Surrey, deny his manslaughter.
Before Mr Hughes joined G4S, staff at his previous security firm had used a technique of pushing a seated person's head forward - compressing the diaphragm - to stop them spitting, jurors were told.
However, "carpet karaoke" as it was referred to, was later deemed to be "malpractice" by the company, prosecutor Mark Dennis QC said.
Mr Hughes told jurors he had seen it work on two occasions but denied he had ever done it himself or picked it up on the job from his "elders".
Mr Dennis asked if he had resolved to hold Mr Mubenga's head down to "stop him making a noise" until they got into the air.
Mr Hughes replied: "No sir. I did not agree with it when I saw it and I don't agree with it now."
Mr Dennis said: "We suggest that you and your colleagues were forcing Mr Mubenga forwards, holding him down, controlling him and maintaining that hold for as long as you could and as long as he resisted, you held him down."
Mr Hughes replied: "I don't want to make a comment. He was never forced down with his head forced beneath his knees."
Earlier, Mr Hughes told jurors he favoured "talking people down" during deportations.
The court heard Mr Hughes only received a half centimetre-long graze, in what he had described to the court as a "violent" struggle with Mr Mubenga, after he tried to get off the plane.
Mr Dennis suggested this may be because it was not as violent as he had said.
The trial continues.
Archaeopteryx had pennaceous (quill-like) feathers all over its body, not only its wings, a new fossil - only the 11th of the creature found - reveals.
These "trousers" were probably used for display, say scientists from Germany, writing in Nature journal.
Their discovery adds weight to the theory that feathers originally evolved for purposes other than flight.
Archaeopteryx caused a major stir when the first fossil was unearthed in Germany in 1861 - just two years after Charles Darwin published On The Origin of Species.
With the claws and teeth of a dinosaur, but the feathers of a bird, it was clearly a transitional form - apparent proof of Darwin's theory.
Its German name "Urvogel" means "first bird".
And though earlier bird-like dinosaurs have been unearthed since, many scientists still believe Archaeopteryx was the first capable of "flight" as we know it today.
The 11th fossil specimen was announced in 2011 and is remarkably well preserved, with detailed impressions of feathers all over its skeleton. The feathers are long and symmetrical on its upper leg and shorter lower down.
Previous specimens had shown some evidence of feathered hind legs but this "completes the picture", according to Dr Oliver Rauhut and colleagues at the Bavarian State Collection for Palaeontology and Geology.
These "trousers", as he describes them, may have been used for display, camouflage, insulation, brooding and manoeuvring while on the ground.
Explore the half bird, half dinosaur features of Archaeopteryx.
Discover more about the fossil that changed everything.
Watch presenter Ben Garrod explain why modern birds are the legacy of the dinosaurs.
They were not primarily designed for flight but might have helped steady the bird during landing, similar to the hindlimb feathers of hawks, eagles and other modern raptors.
The wing feathers of the new specimen show robust shafts - further evidence that the "first bird" really could fly.
Recent studies assuming limited flight ability in Archaeopteryx "might be in error owing to the poorer preservation quality of the feathers," said Dr Rauhut.
"I'm pretty sure it could fly. Though of course there is still a debate about how well it could fly," he told BBC News.
The trousers are also a new clue to the mystery of how flight evolved in modern birds.
Traditionally it was thought that feathers and flight evolved hand in hand.
But the wide variation of plumages in early birds and feathered dinosaurs suggests that feathers first arose for a different purpose, said Dr Rauhut.
"Given the great diversity of pennaceous feathers found within different body regions and across the phylogeny, it seems plausible that the evolution of this feather type (especially in the wing, hindlimbs and tail) was primarily driven by display functions," he wrote in Nature.
Only later were these feathers recruited for flight - which may have arisen many times in parallel in different feathered species, he said.

The drone attacks in Nangarhar's remote Achin district hit the "Voice of the Caliphate" station operated by IS, officials said.
IS expanded into Afghanistan last year, and began an FM radio station in an effort to attract new recruits.
They have clashed with Afghan forces, as well as rival Taliban militants.
IS members have also killed numerous local people, who tell stories of horrific violence.
The air strikes took place from 19:00 to 20:00 local time (14:30 to 15:30 GMT) on Monday, a spokesman for Nangarhar province, Attaullah Khogyani, told the BBC's Mahfouz Zubaide.
There were a total of four drone strikes, which hit the radio station, an internet control centre and other IS targets, he added.
Twenty-one IS members, including five operating the radio station, were killed, reports said.
The "Voice of the Caliphate" station had been broadcasting in Pashto, Dari and Arabic, carrying anti-government propaganda and calls for young Afghans to join Islamic State.
Radio is the main source of entertainment and news in Afghanistan, which has more than 170 radio stations.
The Islamic State group announced an offshoot in Afghanistan in January 2015, sparking a conflict with the Taliban.
The Taliban say they have set up a "special forces" unit with more than 1,000 fighters that aims to crush IS.
Last month, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani vowed to "bury" IS, telling the BBC that the group's atrocities had "alienated the people".
This is a staggering amount of money spent on a condition largely caused by our lifestyle choices and environment.
On Doctor in the House, I try to help 39-year-old La-Vern. Her mother, Doreen, already has type 2 diabetes and is worried that La-Vern is going down the same route.
La-Vern is a busy, single mother who does two jobs and, as a result, is exhausted and stressed.
She has not yet crossed our diagnostic threshold where we would say she has type 2 diabetes, but her blood sugar and fasting insulin levels are not "normal" either. Her results suggested that she was on the road towards type 2 diabetes.
This is an ideal opportunity to practise true preventive medicine. Type 2 diabetes is a late event. By the time you get a diagnosis, things will have been going wrong in your body for many years.
La-Vern's symptoms of fatigue have already affected her quality of life. However, her lifestyle is not only causing her to feel unwell, but is driving her towards a type 2 diabetes diagnosis further down the line.
This is one of the big problems in medicine today - things are often said to be black or white, normal or abnormal - but what about optimal?
I am an advocate for trying to recognise problems before they happen. Why should we wait for people to get a type 2 diabetes diagnosis before we take action?
Type 2 diabetes is often viewed as a dietary illness. That is partially true as diet is a big contributor.
However, other lifestyle factors such as insufficient sleep, long-term stress, and inappropriate physical activity all contribute, as well. For many of my patients, addressing these factors can be as important as their food choices.
Most cases of type 2 diabetes are caused by a condition called insulin resistance.
Insulin is an important hormone and one of its functions is to keep your blood sugar tightly controlled. If you are in optimal health and not insulin resistant, a sugary bowl of breakfast cereal will cause your blood sugar to go up. Your body will then release a little bit of insulin to bring it back down again.
As your health deteriorates and you start to become insulin-resistant, you need more and more insulin to keep your blood sugar under control. Your body has become deaf to insulin's sound.
It is a little bit like alcohol - the very first time you have a drink, it may only take a few sips of wine to feel tipsy but as you become accustomed to drinking more and more, you need more and more alcohol to have the same effect - your body has become resistant to the effects of the alcohol.
This is similar to what happens in insulin resistance.
This raised level of insulin can itself cause many problems. And when the insulin can no longer keep your blood sugar under control - at that point, we give you a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
As I explained in a TED talk, there is a problem with blood sugar in type 2 diabetes, but it is not a blood sugar problem. By the time your blood sugar goes into the diabetic range, things have been going wrong in your body for many years.
The four areas of treatment I focused on with La-Vern are the same four areas I look at with almost all of my patients: food, movement, stress and sleep. Problems in these areas can all contribute to the development of insulin resistance.
Food
The main change I made with La-Vern's diet was to cut out highly processed junk food. Because of her insulin resistance, she was unable to efficiently process foods that quickly converted to sugar in her body, so I advised her to eliminate refined carbohydrates in her diet such as sugary breakfast cereals, white rice and bread.
I encouraged her to increase her intake of healthy, natural fats such as avocados, nuts, and olives as well as healthy protein sources such as salmon and anchovies.
Sleep
La-Vern had trouble sleeping and this was contributing to her exhaustion. However, sleep deprivation can also cause insulin resistance. Like many of us, La-Vern was glued to her smartphone every evening. This late-night usage can cause major sleep issues. There are two main reasons for this:
I advised La-Vern to switch off all electronic screens at least one hour before going to bed. I also gave her some amber glasses to wear in the evening to reduce the amount of blue light hitting her eyes.
These small changes had an immediate impact - her sleep improved and her energy levels increased.
3. Exercise and stress
La-Vern is a very typical case of what I see in my practice. She's extremely busy - a single mother working two jobs and highly stressed.
I explained to La-Vern how her energy reserve is a bit like a bank account - you cannot keep making withdrawals without going into overdraft.
She had very little energy reserve left with the demands of being a single mum, her two jobs and lack of sleep.
Whatever time she did have left, she spent going to the gym three times per week for an intense one-hour workout session, which left her feeling drained.
La-Vern was simply doing too much and her exercise regime was actually putting more stress on her body. This is a common problem these days - we have been conditioned to think that more exercise is always better.
I persuaded La-Vern to swap these intense workouts for yoga, a more restorative practice. This was life-changing. At the end of her yoga session, La-Vern not only felt as though she had worked out but also felt rejuvenated and energised. Plus, it was the only "switch off" time she had all week.
By addressing these four areas of health - food, movement, sleep and stress - I not only helped La-Vern feel significantly better, but, just as importantly, I've reduced her risk of following her mother down the road towards type 2 diabetes.
La-Vern is unstinting in her praise of Dr Chatterjee. She says he "saved" her life.
She adds: "[That's} a profound statement I know; however he came into our lives at such a crucial time. By sharing his knowledge he has given me, my mum and my family the tools to implement very subtle changes that have literally turned our lives around.
"As humans we take certain things for granted but do we realise how such things like stress, the food we eat and a lack of sleep, the quality of the sleep actually has such a detrimental impact on the way we think, our overall health and general well-being? Until now, I certainly did not.
"Our lack of understanding meant we were tackling aspects of our lives and health believing it was for the best when in fact we were doing more harm than good. With the benefit of hindsight, this is quite a scary concept.
"We felt truly blessed to have had the opportunity to have Dr Chatterjee in our lives. He is a very wise, caring and such a genuine person and we are so grateful to him for helping us to bring about changes that are having such a positive impact."
Too much of our focus in medicine is reactive and treatment kicks in only once you have a disease.
If there is any hope of saving our NHS, we have to be much more proactive at recognising and treating problems early on.
The future of healthcare needs to be preventive and personalised.
It's what I call progressive medicine, and there is an ever-growing need for us to practise it right now. Type 2 diabetes: a real need for preventive medicine.

Police were first alerted by reports of a loud bang in the Skeoge Road area at 23:45 BST on Tuesday.
On Wednesday evening, officers confirmed it was a "viable explosive device" that had detonated.
A police officer said it had "all the hallmarks" of a dissident republican attack.
"Those who left this device showed no regard for the safety of anyone in the area," said Supt Mark McEwan.
"The device was left in a waste bin, and shrapnel from it could have killed or seriously injured anyone close by."
Sinn Féin assembly member Raymond McCartney said: "This was a bomb in a very open space, used by vehicles and pedestrians, and my disgust is shared by many, many people in the area."
The Skeoge Road was closed between the Glengalliagh roundabout and the Buncrana Road for most of Wednesday while Army bomb experts carried out tests and the area was searched.
Polls suggest John Tory, a businessman, leads Mr Ford's brother Doug Ford and former MP Olivia Chow in the race.
Doug Ford stepped into the race after his brother was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer in September.
Before his diagnosis, Rob Ford, 45, had refused calls to step down after admitting using drugs while in office.
Rob Ford is instead running for the city council seat in his political base in the suburb of Etobicoke, currently held by Doug Ford. He is expected to win that race.
Polls will be open for voting in the mayor's race and all 44 council seats from 10:00 local time (14:00 GMT) to 20:00.
Mr Tory, the former chief executive of Canadian cable firm Rogers and former Progressive Conservative member of the Ontario parliament, ran unsuccessfully for Toronto mayor in 2003.
Ms Chow, a left-of-centre former New Democratic Party MP and widow of national New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton, has fallen in the polls since Doug Ford entered the race.
Turnout has already been high. A record 161,147 people voted early this month, more than double the number in the last election, in 2010.
Mr Ford was diagnosed in early September with a malignant liposarcoma, a rare cancer of the soft tissue which accounts for only 1% of all cancers, He has begun chemotherapy treatment.
He will step down from the mayor's office after a tumultuous four-year term in which he admitted using and purchasing drugs while in office and was captured on film in states of apparent severe intoxication.
Those and other antics led to calls for him to resign and to the city council stripping him of most of his powers.
Organisers Curo were seeking feedback on the scheme, which proposes a cable car between its housing development Mulberry Park and Bath Spa station.
It apologised for the cancellation saying the decision was made by the venue, Southgate Shopping Centre.
Campaigners say the area, which is at the top of a steep hill, is already accessible for bikes and walkers.
When the exhibition was scrapped opponents gathered in Widcombe to protest against the project.
No formal planning permission has yet been sought by Curo, who claim the cable car would help people with mobility problems get around the city more easily.
It claims the cable car could "celebrate" Bath's World Heritage status, as other Unesco World Heritage cities have them, such as Porto, Barcelona and Dubrovnik.
Chief Executive Victor da Cunha said: "For many people the typography of Bath is very difficult for cycling and walking, equally it's very congested.
"So any solutions that involve adding to the road network will further congest it, so a cable car overall is seen to be reducing congestion overall, it removes several thousand car journeys a year."
After the event was cancelled Curo has said any feedback can be given online. It has also planned a number of other open days over the next few months.
Chairman of Widcombe Association, Jeremy Boss, said: "This is not a pretty cable car, it's a mass transport system, the cable car would be the size of a single decker bus, we're told, holding from 80 to 100 people.
"You don't want that going over your house, I would defy anyone who says that would be an improvement in their daily lives, privacy and homes."
He added that the cable car would also threaten the beauty of the city.
The Curo housing groups says it hopes to put in planning permission next August.

Many of them are in areas under siege, which means that they are surrounded by soldiers and can't get out.
Sieges are against important rules called international law, because soldiers attack ordinary people who aren't fighting and can't escape.
There has been a civil war going on in Syria for five years.
It's difficult to contact children who are living under siege, but refugees who left Syria recently have told us what life was like for them when they were still there.
The 1970s Welsh rugby star's wife Mari, family and friends will watch 'Grav' at Mynydd-y-Garreg Hall, Carmarthenshire.
Former Llanelli RFC centre, Gravell, who was also a broadcaster and actor, died in 2007, aged 56, after problems related to diabetes.
Grav, a one-man show with actor Gareth Bale, was first performed in January.
Pembrokeshire-based Torch Theatre took the production on tour around Wales earlier this year.
Following Saturday's performance, it will move to Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, before its stint at the Edinburgh Festival this summer.
Ministers said they would make "minimum possible changes" to comply with a 2010 Supreme Court ruling.
Sex offenders will have to wait 15 years after leaving prison to appeal.
Labour has opposed the change while the NSPCC said "paedophiles who have been put on the sex offender register for life must remain there".
Those sentenced to more than 30 months for a sex-related crime - against a child or an adult - can be required to register with police for life.
The government has estimated that a maximum of 1,200 sex offenders will be eligible for a review each year.
Reviews will be considered by individual police forces.
In Scotland - where the government has already amended laws to let those convicted seek a review after 15 years on the register - final decisions are taken by the courts.
A consultation on changing the law has taken place in Northern Ireland but proposals have not yet been put forward.
The Supreme Court ruled that denying offenders the right of appeal was incompatible with their human rights , shortly before the 2010 general election.
The offenders who brought the challenge said that permanent inclusion on the register with no chance of a review was disproportionate.
Although the Supreme Court said an appeal should be possible, it underlined that it was entirely lawful to monitor someone for life if they are a danger to society.
The then Labour government said the ruling stated it should be "open to Parliament" to maintain the current position if it saw fit, so long as there was provision in law to review matters in future if it became appropriate to do so.
In February last year, Home Secretary Theresa May told the Commons the government was "appalled" by the Supreme Court ruling, but there was no possibility of further appeal.
NSPCC chief executive Andrew Flanagan said the charity had "sadly been told the legal ruling could not be overturned".
"There is no proven or recognised 'cure' for adult sex offenders who abuse children and they must therefore always be considered a risk," he said.
"Physical and emotional harm caused by sexual abuse can damage children's lives.
"We will monitor the appeals process closely and will raise concerns if we believe the civil liberties of convicted sex offenders are being put before the protection of children."
Last year, the government outlined plans to tighten up "loopholes" in the registration system including making it compulsory for offenders to tell police if they planned to travel abroad for one day - as opposed to the current three days or more.
A Home Office spokesman said the department was doing everything it could "to protect the public from predatory sex offenders".
"The review process for offenders is robust and puts public protection first. It also prevents sex offenders from wasting taxpayers' money by repeatedly challenging our laws," he said.
"Sex offenders who continue to pose a risk will remain on the register for life."
The Sex Offenders Act, which was prompted by public concern about increasing reports of paedophile activity, created the Sex Offenders Register, introduced on 1 September 1997.
Rowan Williams said it was a good thing that people were realising there is "more to life than Gross National Product".
Earlier, the Archbishop of Westminster said he was praying for those in areas blighted by conflict and disaster.
Archbishop Vincent Nichols said he hoped for peace in Libya and elsewhere.
"We watch the work of death every day, in the natural disasters of Japan, in the ceaseless work of war in zones of conflict around the world," he said in his Easter homily.
"Today we pray for peace: for the city of Misrata and for a ceasefire in Libya that new political structures may be put in place; for peace in Afghanistan, in Syria, across the Middle East, in Ivory Coast and in so many other places".
Meanwhile, the Queen has led the royal family for their traditional Easter service at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Delivering his sermon at Canterbury Cathedral, Dr Williams said he welcomed the fact that politicians were now talking about the importance of happiness rather than prosperity.
"It seems that, just as we can't find fulfilment in just loving ourselves, so we can't just generate happiness for ourselves. It comes from outside, from relationships, environment, the unexpected stimulus of beauty - but not from any programme that we can identify," he said.
The government has recently announced proposals to try to measure the nation's wellbeing, with some households taking part in surveys on the issue.
Dr Williams also commended the encouragement of days of "shared celebration" such as the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The royal family are creatures of habit - Summer at Balmoral, Christmas at Sandringham and Easter here at Windsor.
As always, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh led the royal party for the service at St George's Chapel. Also in attendance were Princess Anne, Prince Andrew with his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
This is a significant week for the royals. The wedding on Friday will be the first time we see Kate Middleton alongside the family she's about to join and in which it seems she'll have a starring role.
The vast majority of wedding details are now sorted out, but two significant pieces of information will be kept under wraps until later this week.
The first is the order of service, which we won't get until 24 hours before the start of the ceremony, and then the wedding's best kept secret - the dress. Don't expect to hear details of that until the moment the bride walks down the aisle.
"It's nice and entirely appropriate that we are being encouraged to some public displays of shared celebration next Friday: let a thousand street parties blossom!"
He also stressed the value of community services, such as the local library, and warned that people should "think twice before dismantling what's already there".
Meanwhile, the leader of the Catholic Church in Scotland, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, meanwhile, has used his Easter message later to attack "aggressive secularism".
The cardinal, who is known for his robust defence of traditionalist Christian teaching, said the enemies of Christianity want to "take God from the public sphere".
He called on Christians of all denominations to resist the efforts of such people to destroy Christian heritage and culture.
It was something Pope Benedict warned about on his state visit to Britain last year.
BBC religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott says that even by Cardinal O'Brien's standards his Easter sermon constitutes a vehement and outspoken attack on secularism and what he will describe as the enemies of the Christian faith in Britain and the power they currently exert.
In a reference to equality legislation preventing discrimination against homosexual people, Cardinal O'Brien denounced what he claims is the way Christians have been prevented from acting in accordance with their beliefs because they refuse to endorse such lifestyles.
Virgin Atlantic said all airlines flying out of Terminal 3 were affected, and advised customers to only travel with "essential items".
Passengers could opt to have their bags flown out to them, it said, but warned this could take several days.
An airport spokesperson apologised for any disruption.
Airlines are unable to check bags in at the terminal, and many bags have already been delayed from leaving the airport.
A number of major international carriers including British Airways, American Airlines and Emirates operate flights from Terminal 3.
Virgin Atlantic it would ensure all bags were sent out as soon as possible but this may take several days.
It added that if bags did not arrive with passengers, customers should keep hold of receipts of anything they buy and make a claim to be reimbursed.
Passengers, who were informed by e-mail of the problem, took to social media to vent their frustrations.
One branded the situation "ludicrous" and said he was only told 12 hours before his flight.
Heathrow said it could not confirm what the problem was, what had caused the issue or how many people could be affected.
"We're very sorry for any disruption to our passengers and would like to reassure them that we are working hard to resolve it as soon as possible."
BBC weather presenter Sara Thornton said her children were due to fly to Florida with their father on Thursday morning.
She said the warning about the baggage system didn't explain what the problem was.
She said: "We basically don't know what's going on. What is it? We've no idea what's wrong so you can't plan for that."
"We're now repacking their bags but we're not putting in electricals in it and will try to put as much in hand luggage as possible but that can't be big or heavy.
"There's only so much children can carry."
Bethany Gallimore, aged 14, said she was scared to leave home after the attack in Kidsgrove, Staffordshire.
Her mother Denise said she was left "physically sick" after seeing her daughter covered in blood - and then watching the brutal video hours later.
Staffordshire Police said three teenagers had been arrested.
Bethany, a pupil at Congleton High School, said she spotted a gang of about 10 around 22:30 BST on 27 March as she spoke to her mother on the phone.
"They ran to me and began crowding me, and started saying I was ugly and fat and telling me they wished I'd drop dead," she said.
"I said [to my mum] 'I'm on my way' and then that's when they hit me, just after I put the phone down.
"They said 'aren't you going to hit her back?' and I said 'no, I don't like fighting'. So they hit me again.
"It went on for 45 minutes to an hour. I knew they were kicking me but I blanked out."
Mother Denise, aged 32, said she was horrified when she saw her daughter.
"She was covered in blood. We started cleaning her up.
"We were just getting in bed and she came in crying her eyes out saying 'they've put the video on Facebook'.
"When I saw them kicking and stamping on her head I was physically sick. I never want to watch it again."
Bethany, of Mow Cop, said she was speaking out so a repeat attack does not happen to anyone else.
"I just don't want those girls walking the streets thinking they can get away with it."
Staffordshire Police said three teenagers, two aged 16 and one aged 13, had been arrested on suspicion of assault.

Shaun Wane's side will meet the winners of Friday's second semi-final between Leeds Rhinos and St Helens at Old Trafford on 10 October.
Ben Flower, who was sent off in the 2014 Grand Final, and John Bateman went over for Wigan's first-half tries.
Dom Manfredi, a penalty try and Tony Clubb sealed a comfortable victory for the hosts.
Brett Ferres added a late consolation try for Huddersfield, who were denied a first Grand Final appearance by a clinical Warriors outfit that has not lost at a home game in Super League since June 2014.
Much of the focus in the build-up to Wigan's return to Old Trafford will be on Flower, whose dismissal and subsequent six-month ban for punching Lance Hohaia dominated the aftermath of their 14-6 defeat by St Helens 12 months ago.
It was Wales prop Flower who gave his side the perfect start in their semi-final, racing through a huge gap in the Giants defence for Wigan's first try.
Matty Bowen's penalty made it 8-0 and, after the visitors failed to register any points during their best spell of the first period, Manfredi's catch and offload set up Bateman to touch down in the corner.
Danny Brough got Huddersfield on the scoreboard with a successful penalty in the closing seconds of the first half.
Jermaine McGillvary, Super League's leading try scorer, was pushed into touch near the Warriors try-line as he attempted to reduce the deficit.
Wigan responded with two tries in quick succession, first Manfredi showing superb finishing ability and then the home side being awarded a penalty try.
The outstanding Bateman, having tapped the ball into the in-goal area, was tripped by Giants full-back Scott Grix as he attempted to ground the ball and the score was given after long deliberation by the video referee.
Bowen added another penalty and Ferres forced his way over from close range for Huddersfield, before Clubb's last-minute try started Wigan's celebrations.
Wigan Warriors coach Shaun Wane: "We defended really well, apart from the try they scored. We didn't attack that good - I think we need to be smarter next Saturday but we had a good mentality.
"I'm a firm believer that the team that wants it most will generally get it and we showed a lot of desire. Huddersfield have a lot of talent and they have the best defence in the competition, but we hung in there and showed a lot of desire to defend our line.
"We'll be better next week. We've got a nine-day turnaround and we'll use it wisely."
Huddersfield Giants coach Paul Anderson: "We never got going if I'm honest and the scoreline is probably a fair reflection of the game.
"I felt their attitude to the tough stuff was probably better than ours. I expected Wigan to be physical and we didn't quite go with them. They rolled their sleeves up and did some tough stuff.
"What's gone before doesn't matter. It's not how you start, it's how you finish. We built things nicely through the year but we haven't got the finish we wanted and it's very deflating."
Wigan Warriors: Bowen; Manfredi, Bateman, Gildart, Burgess; Williams, Smith; Crosby, McIlorum, Flower, Tomkins, Farrell, O'Loughlin.
Replacements: Powell, Clubb, Mossop, Patrick.
Huddersfield Giants: Grix; McGillvary, Cudjoe, Connor, Murphy; Brough, Ellis; Kopczak, Robinson, Huby, Wardle, Hughes, Ferres.
Replacements: Crabtree, Bailey, Lawrence, Ta'ai.

The Tour was due to start on 12 July but players have not agreed a deal with governing body Cricket Australia (CA).
Players across the country currently receive a percentage of CA's income but the body have proposed scrapping the two-decade-old revenue-sharing model.
The players' union said CA's behaviour was "deeply disappointing".
The Australian Cricketers' Association (ACA) - representing players in talks - held an emergency meeting with CA over the weekend where they hoped to agree a new Memorandum of Association.
Adam Collins: Australian cricket journalist and broadcaster
"What a mess. There's no other way to describe the fact the deadline has passed for Australia's cricketers to pen a pay deal with the board and no agreement is in place.
"The result? Unemployment with immediate effect. The implications? Vast. The Ashes? Who knows. The Ashes is the true marker of disaster. If that tour is cancelled, heads will roll. And rightly so."
The previous five-year agreement between players and CA ended last month.
Players want to maintain an agreement where a percentage of CA's revenue is shared among them but the governing body believe the model is unfit and hopes to funnel more money into grass roots after making a change.
"By making this call, the Australia A players have sacrificed their own ambitions for the collective; an incredibly selfless act that shows their strength and overall commitment to the group," said the ACA in a statement.
"All players are deeply disappointed at the behaviour of CA which forces this course of action, given the players would rather be playing for their country."
CA said it had informed South Africa of "the players' decision" and said it was "of the view that these talks should have enabled the tour to proceed as planned."
Australia's A squad featured five Test players with international experience and eight with one-day international caps.
They were due to play the first of two Tests on 12 July before contesting a one-day tri series two weeks later.
"It would end Olympic boxing as we know it," said Price, who has held British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles during his time as a professional.
The Merseyside fighter, 32, added that the proposal to introduce professionals in time for Rio 2016 was "far-fetched".
"Qualifying has become so complicated, I don't see how it can work."
Price said amateur boxing had already changed markedly since his days, with lines blurring between the amateur and professional ranks in competitions such as World Series Boxing and the Aiba Pro, and the traditional amateur ranks, now known as 'Olympic-style'.
And he urged caution over the integration of fully licensed professionals into the Games.
"If they're going to bring it in, it would have to be over a period of time, not rush it in for this year," he said.
Dr Ching-Kuo Wu, president of world boxing's governing body AIBA, said on Wednesday that he wanted to abolish rules stopping any fighter with 15 or more paid bouts from competing.
His proposal needs to be approved by the AIBA's executive committee, but Wu said: "We want something to change... not after four years, but now."
Carl Frampton, super-bantamweight, IBF world champion: "The amateurs at the moment are pretty much professionals. The established governing bodies are entitled to say: 'If you guys are fighting as pros, why can't our pro boxers enter the Olympics?' They have a justified point."
Charlie Edwards, flyweight, English champion: "I think it's a bit of a joke. The likes of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao aren't going to fight for peanuts."
Josh Taylor, light-welterweight, 2014 Commonwealth Games champion: "You've got people who have been in the GB squad for years, and their focus is to get to the Olympics. So it would be so unfair to choose a professional fighter over one of them. It's a stupid idea."
Scott Fitzgerald, welterweight, 2014 Commonwealth Games champion: "It could spell the end of amateur boxing. If this goes through, why would anyone stay amateur?"
The draft National Park Partnership Plan 2018-2023 aims to widen the park's "social, environmental, cultural and economic benefits".
The 12-week public consultation on the draft plan will run until 3 July.
The plan's three priorities cover conservation and land management, visitor experience and rural development.
This includes attracting and retaining more skilled working age and young people and encouraging people of all abilities and backgrounds to enjoy the outdoors.
The park's new convener, James Stuart, said: "The national park is a truly special place and this plan proposes how we along with a wide range of other organisations, can work together over the next five years to look after, enhance and make the most of it.
"By working collaboratively with all of our partners we can achieve a much greater impact."
Chief executive Gordon Watson said work was already underway in the park to provide young people with opportunities to gain skills and experience to support future employment.
He said: "We want to build on that by working closely with our partners to broaden that range of opportunities, whether it's through training, volunteering, modern apprenticeships and employment so that young people growing up in the national park aren't missing out on the opportunities that those living in more urban areas have access to.
"We are confident that this along with measures to address the lack of affordable housing options and efforts to protect and enhance local services and infrastructure, will ensure a bright future for young people living and working within the national park."
The two countries, which formally split in 2011, agreed to resume transfers of oil across the border last month.
The resumption comes as part of efforts to avoid an all-out conflict over oil revenues and border disputes.
South Sudan has large-scale oil production, but is landlocked and reliant on Sudan's ports for export.
South Sudan took with it nearly three-quarters of Sudan's oil production when it declared its independence two years ago.
Both countries are heavily reliant on the revenues from oil exports to support government finances.
Production was halted 14 months ago over a disagreement about how much South Sudan should pay to export its oil through Sudanese pipelines.
South Sudan said the charges amounted to theft.
South Sudan's oil minister said the decision to resume production should be taken as a sign of peace.
The two countries came close to all-out war over border disputes last year, and have since agreed to set up a buffer zone along the border.
Resumption of oil exports is seen as an important part of the peace deal.
The move is also good news for the local economy. South Sudan experienced a sharp recession after the oil was shut off.
It is not clear how long the country will take to return to its normal output of 350,000 barrels a day.
The first oil is expected to reach Sudan's ports by the end of May, according to Sudan's state news agency, with output expected to reach 150,000 to 200,000 barrels a day.
The president said that while he did not believe US race relations had worsened, public exposure to race crimes had grown in the digital age.
He said the video encapsulated problems that have existed for some time.
Three teenagers and a woman, 24, are due in court on Friday accused of aggravated battery with a weapon.
Jordan Hill, Brittany Covington and Tesfaye Cooper, all 18, and Tanishia Covington are also accused of aggravated unlawful restraint.
Torture video prompts online race fight
In the video, the assailants can be heard making derogatory statements against white people and Donald Trump.
"What we have seen as surfacing, I think, are a lot of problems that have been there a long time," President Obama told CBS Chicago.
"Whether it's tensions between police and communities, hate crimes of the despicable sort that has just now recently surfaced on Facebook."
The president said that while the Chicago incident was grounds for serious concern, he remained optimistic about the long-term state of US race relations.
"The good news is that the next generation that's coming behind us… have smarter, better, more thoughtful attitudes about race," he said.
"I think the overall trajectory of race relations in this country is actually very positive. It doesn't mean that all racial problems have gone away. It means that we have the capacity to get better."
All the suspects, apart from Tanishia Covington, each face an additional count of residential burglary.
Mr Hill is further charged with robbery and possession of a stolen motor.
Police said the unnamed 18-year-old victim was dropped off by his parents at a McDonald's restaurant on 31 December to meet his friend, Jordan Hill, who later became one of his attackers.
The pair drove around for two days, sleeping inside a van that Mr Hill had allegedly stolen without the victim's knowledge, before ending up at the Covington sisters' home.
Police said a play fight led to a prolonged assault in a flat on the Illinois city's west side.
The captive was made to drink from a toilet bowl, had part of his scalp removed with a knife, and was bound, gagged and beaten.
At one point in the 30-minute video, the attackers can also be seen cutting the victim's clothes, dropping cigarette ash on him and pushing his head back with a foot.
Chicago Police Commander Kevin Duffin said the victim finally escaped when his attackers went downstairs to confront a resident who had called police because of the noise.
Cdr Duffin said the racial slurs and references to the victim's mental capacity, depicted in the video, led to the hate crime charges.
The escaped captive was found disorientated and traumatised, walking the streets in shorts and sandals with Mr Hill.
The victim, who had difficulty communicating with police, was taken to hospital for medical treatment, and discharged.
In other videos posted online the young man is forced at knife-point to say: "I love black people".
The incident has provoked a strong reaction on Twitter, especially among the alt-right - the fringe group that celebrated US President-elect Trump's election win with Nazi salutes.
The Cherry and Whites announced in November that Fearns, 28, would move to Kingsholm on a three-year deal after the conclusion of the 2016-17 season.
But Lyon offered him "significantly increased personal terms".
Gloucester CEO Steven Vaughan said the club had initially sought legal advice but have now received compensation.
Vaughan said: "Naturally the club took the best legal advice on the situation, but as soon as it became apparent the player wanted to remain in France, efforts immediately turned to getting the best possible deal for the club to allow us to move on in a stronger position.
"I am very happy at the outcome and we have agreed significant compensation that will all be used on strengthening the playing group further."
Englishman Fearns joined Lyon in 2015 and was named player of the season as he helped them win promotion to France's top flight in his first season, while he made 22 appearances this term.
The agency, which funds Olympic and Paralympic sport, backed campaigns by Lord Coe, Brian Cookson, Sir Phillip Craven, John McEwen and Louise Martin.
Two thirds of that sum, £115,000, went to one company, Vero Communications.
"If we care about the future of international sport then we've got to get off the bench and into the game," said UK Sport's Simon Morton.
"That means supporting British administrators to secure international leadership positions to ensure that the UK, as one of the world's leading sporting nations, has a strong voice in developing world sport.
"We are proud of our record, as we believe it is essential to ensure that our national governing bodies can engage effectively with the international community and contribute to the governance, development and leadership of world sport."
But some within British Olympic and Paralympic sport have questioned the wisdom of spending money that could be targeted at young athletes on the business of sports politics.
"Seb Coe being president of world athletics does not win us any medals," said Jessica Ennis-Hill's coach Toni Minichiello.
"He has said that two thirds of his campaign budget came from private sources. Did he even need the public money? Could it have been a loan instead?
"That money could have been shared with 63 young athletes. They could have paid for their medical insurance for a year and bus fares to training."
Of those five campaigns, only McEwen's run for the presidency of the International Equestrian Federation was unsuccessful. UK Sport gave Vero, which is run by sports lobbyist Mike Lee, £10,000 for that bid.
The UK-based "strategic communications company", which helped secure the 2016 Summer Games for Rio and 2022 World Cup for Qatar, was also given £63,000 for work on Coe's hard-fought campaign to become global athletics chief.
Coe and Lee also worked together on London's successful bid for the 2012 Olympics.
UK Sport contributed £77,000 to Cookson's bitter 2013 battle for the presidency of the International Cycling Union, with Vero receiving £24,000.
British Cycling contributed another £43,000 from its "international influence" budget, with most of the money spent on travel, preparing Cookson's manifesto and professional advice on how to restructure the federation.
It is unclear if Vero went through any official tendering process but UK Sport told BBC Sport it had "secured a preferential rate" with Lee's firm.
UK Sport, which got a 29% annual increase in the amount of tax-payers' money it receives in Tuesday's comprehensive spending review, has made no secret of its international relations strategy. The contribution from the public purse accounts for a third of its current £135m annual budget, with the rest coming from the National Lottery.
Its three international goals - global influence, developing British administrators and maximising the legacy from major events - are listed on the agency's website, and leading ex-athletes such as Kelly Sotherton have been through its "international leadership programme", which is now in its eighth year.
All of this, however, is secondary to its main stated purpose of maximising Britain's chances of winning medals on the world stage.
"It's important that the governance of world governing bodies is exemplary, and we've all seen examples recently where that hasn't been the case," said UK Sport chairman Rod Carr.
"Now, we're not arrogant enough to think that only Brits can put that right but we think there is a cadre of talented and honest people here that can really help those international federations that have failed that test.
"But the reality is that costs money. It would be naive to send somebody into that competition with no funds to go fly and talk to people and garner support from other parts of the world.
"It's a great investment. If we have sports like athletics and cycling, which have both had their moments, better managed and governed, that is good for the sport worldwide and good for us."

Both men's and women's windsurfing will be retained after a vote at the governing body's annual general meeting in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland.
The reversal comes after a surprise decision in May to drop windsurfing for kiteboarding at the 2016 Olympics.
Delegates later blamed the move on confusion due to language difficulties.
The ISAF at the time described the move as a "fantastic addition" but windsurfing federations vowed to pressure sailing chiefs to reinstate their sport.
British windsurfer Nick Dempsey, who won silver at last summer's London Olympics, condemned the decision as "bizarre" back in May.
Israel's sailing chief Yehuda Maayan later revealed that, in voting for kiteboarding, delegates had probably been confused or did not understand the motion because of ambiguous language translations.
Steph Bridge
Four-time kiteboarding world champion
"I am really gutted, as myself & Oliver (eldest son, aged 15) had a really great chance to represent GB for the men's and women's events at Rio 2016.
"Oliver will still have a huge chance when kiteboarding makes it back in 2020 but for me this will probably be four years too late.
"What I know is that tomorrow I will wake up and want to go kiteboarding. The passion is huge and will continue.
"Every athlete wants to win a gold medal but if this is too late for me, I hope I can help someone else to make this dream come true."
Among those, the Spanish Sailing Federation has since acknowledged that its representative voted for kiteboarding by mistake.
The Royal Yachting Association has been among those campaigning for windsurfing and its performance director, John Derbyshire, said: "This is what the membership of the RYA asked for.
"We have a very strong youth pathway and some 10,000 windsurfing members of the RYA, so on their behalf we are delighted with the decision.
"We obviously have great compassion towards the kiteboarding community, with whom we have been working very closely, and I am sure that they will continue to work very closely with both the RYA and ISAF families with a view to gaining inclusion for the discipline in future Olympic Games.
"We can now look forward to preparing for Rio 2016 with the clarity that this decision brings."
The 20-year-old came through the club's youth system and became a regular feature for Gary Mills' side, making 44 league appearances in 2015-16.
The club also signed strikers Khallem Bailey-Nicholls and Callum Powell as well as centre back Hamza Bencherif.
Bencherif, 28, has National League experience with Lincoln City and AFC Halifax Town, who he joined in 2015.
Paris-born Bencherif played in FC Halifax Town's recent FA Trophy final win over Grimsby Town.
18-year-old Bailey-Nicholls joins following a scholarship with Birmingham City while Powell, 20, most recently played for Rugby Town.
"Russia," he said, "has been presented as well-nigh the biggest threat to Nato, or to Europe, America and other countries.
"I am sometimes confused," he went on. "Is this 2016 or 1962?"
Just a few days earlier in Washington, the director of the US National Intelligence Agency, James Clapper, was giving evidence on "worldwide threats" to the influential Senate Armed Services Committee.
"I think the Russians fundamentally are paranoid about Nato," he said. "We could be into another Cold War-like spiral here."
So from both the Russians and the Americans come claims of a renewed cold war. Tensions between Russia and the West are certainly bad. The Russian annexation of Crimea initiated the chill which turned frosty over Ukraine and is now getting steadily worse due to very different perceptions as to what should be done about the human catastrophe in Syria.
But in truth things were not terribly good even before the Crimea crisis. Russia opposed Nato expansion and US plans for missile defence. It argued for an entirely new European security order that went beyond institutions like Nato that were simply products of the Cold War.
Of course for a time in the wake of the collapse of communism there was effectively no Russian foreign policy and not much of a military to back it up.
I remember vividly visiting the Black Sea fleet's base in Sevastopol in 1991. In a showy display of sea power, Soviet warships bristling with weapons were tied up alongside the dock.
But venture into the base - amazingly nobody could be bothered to stop me wandering around - and you found drums leaking chemicals, rubbish and chaos everywhere, and, as if to symbolise the Soviet collapse, a ship the size of a minesweeper simply sunk at its moorings.
Now Russia is back. It is determined to defend its interests in both the near-abroad - Ukraine - and farther afield in Syria.
Russia is rearming. Its Syrian intervention has become a showcase and proving ground for some of its most modern weapons systems. And its rhetoric has stepped up several notches too with, particularly alarming to the West, rather loose talk about the potential use of nuclear weapons.
So it all looks a little like a new cold war, but is it really one? Nobody should underestimate the depth of the differences between Russia and the West nor the potential danger to which they may lead.
But hindsight is a funny thing. Commentators and politicians alike prefer the familiar. If something can be referenced to a similar situation in the past it appears easier to understand and the policy implications seemingly suggest themselves.
In hindsight, we have a rather benign and unrealistic view of what the real Cold War was about. Its edge has simply gone.
Think back to Winston Churchill's famous speech at Fulton, Missouri in March 1946. In it he coined a phrase that characterised the deep division of Europe. "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain," he said, "has descended across the continent."
That "iron curtain" and the Soviet Union have both gone. This new "cold war" is not a struggle of two great ideological blocs vying with each other for global dominance. It is largely a weakened Russia seeking to stand its ground and defend its interests, as it sees them, in a hostile world.
Where is the threat of world war leading to nuclear annihilation?
Russia, it is said, potentially threatens the Baltic Republics. Nato has got itself in a spin over a supposedly new kind of warfare seemingly practised by the Russians - so-called hybrid war - blurring the boundaries between peace and conflict.
But there are no huge Russian tank armies waiting to roll westwards towards France. There are no Warsaw Pact armies to act as Moscow's allies. And there is probably nothing in the threat that does exist that some prudent reinforcement by Nato (currently under way) cannot forestall.
We forget too that the Soviet Union was ultimately beaten economically. It was a hollow force. It could not sustain the panoply of a global superpower.
Well today's Russia does not even start in the superpower stakes. It is a regional player at best with an economy that is too dependent upon tumbling oil prices. Russia is in many ways a crisis waiting to happen. Indices of public health, mortality and so on are depressingly poor.
It is true that Russia - through its satellite channels, its funding of curious political forces in the West and so on - seeks to create a counter-culture to the prevailing Western view. In this it has had modest success.
But this is a pale shadow of the propaganda activities of Soviet days, nor are there the legions of the wrong but well-meaning supporters who saw in Soviet communism the salvation of mankind.
That is not to discount current tensions. Certainly Mr Putin could over-reach. It is not impossible to imagine Nato and Russia in some peripheral sense confronting each other, say if Turkey went toe-to-toe with Moscow in Syria.
But for now at least this falls short of the potential Armageddon that was, for a significant part of the Cold War, seen as an all-pervading threat.
If anything this is just a throwback, a reprise of the Cold War in a minor vein. The cast is different. Many have changed sides. The context is different. The geographical scope of the rivalry is much reduced and the relative power of the players has also changed.
It is simply not the Cold War of old, though, one must admit, in some ways it still seems strangely familiar.
The 31-year-old joined Saints last summer on a three-year contract and was nominated for the Rugby Players' Association player of the season award.
Picamoles has 62 caps and played all five games in this year's Six Nations.
Saints said the deal for the number eight will "underpin the future financial stability for his family".
Director of rugby Jim Mallinder had previously said there was no reason for Saints to sell Picamoles.
But Montpellier, where he previously played from 2004 to 2009, had reportedly been preparing a seven-figure sum to try to buy the number eight out of the remaining two years of his contract.
"I am proud to have played for Northampton Saints and I have enjoyed my time with the club," Picamoles said.
"I am grateful for all the support and friendship I have received from the club, the coaches, my team-mates and supporters."
Picamoles featured 20 times for Saints last season and the club said they "reluctantly agreed to the transfer", adding that the French Federation (FFR) want to see their internationals playing domestically.
Montpellier president Mohed Altrad confirmed: "Louis was the only French international player not playing in the Top 14.
"I am therefore delighted for Louis and the FFR that we have been able to secure his return to France.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for Montpellier to strengthen its squad with a truly world-class professional and fits perfectly with our long-term plans for the club."
Analysis
BBC Radio Northampton's Graham McKechnie
Picamoles is irreplaceable - I know we're a given to hyperbole in sport, but he really is the best I've ever seen at number eight. He's got it all; immense power and incredible off-loading game.
You dread to think how Saints - who finished seventh in the Premiership - would have fared this season without him.
In terms of a replacement, this is very late for them to try and replace a player of his calibre. They will need another number eight, though Teimana Harrison and Mitch Eadie, who is joining from Bristol, are capable.
What it does mean is Saints now have a big chunk of money; they mustn't rush to spend it, but it is essential that at least some of the money goes into the squad. Who that will be is really too early to tell.
The actor was struck by a hydraulic metal door on the Pinewood set of the Millennium Falcon in June 2014.
The Health And Safety Executive has brought four criminal charges against Foodles Production (UK) Ltd - a subsidiary of Disney.
Foodles Production said it was "disappointed" by the HSE's decision.
Following the incident, Ford was airlifted to hospital for surgery.
Following an investigation, the HSE said it believed there was sufficient evidence about the incident which left Ford with serious injuries, to bring four charges relating to alleged health and safety breaches.
A spokesperson added: "By law, employers must take reasonable steps to protect workers - this is as true on a film set as a factory floor."
Foodles Production is the company responsible for producing Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens, and as such is culpable under health and safety law.
Representatives of the production company will appear at High Wycombe Magistrates Court on 12 May.
A spokesman for Foodles Production said: "Cast and crew safety is always a top priority. We provided full co-operation during HSE's investigation into the on-set accident that occurred in June 2014 and are disappointed in HSE's decision."

The 20-year-old has become the Hatters' eighth summer signing, joining on free transfer but with a "contingency sum" due to Palace if he is sold on.
Gray made two first-team appearances for the Eagles and spent much of last term on loan at Hartlepool, scoring six goals in 33 games.
Hatters boss Nathan Jones said they had been chasing the signing "since April".
He continued: "There were a number of clubs that showed an interest in him. We initially thought we might get him on loan, but when we knew that Palace were willing to do something permanent, we jumped at the chance."

The Chesterfield striker was cleared of rape at Cardiff Crown Court after a retrial on 14 October.
But Labour has condemned the decision to allow the jury to hear details about the sexual history of the complainant.
Attorney General Jeremy Wright told the Commons it was not "routinely used" in such cases, but there was "a concern".
Mr Wright made the comment on Thursday when questioned by Labour's legal affairs spokesman Nick Thomas-Symonds.
In 2012, Mr Evans was found guilty of raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel room in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire, the previous year. He served half of a five-year prison term.
But that conviction was quashed on appeal last April and he was found not guilty of the same charge at the subsequent retrial.
Mr Wright said: "We need to understand more about the decision in this particular case, we need to understand whether a change in the law is appropriate."
He said, if a change was not appropriate, the government should look at the guidance given to judges about when evidence is admissible and the instructions judges give to jurors about how it should be used.
"I think we need to do all those things before we're in a position to understand what, if any, changes are needed," he added.
During the retrial, the jury heard evidence from two men who had intimate relationships with the complainant around the time of the alleged offence of which Mr Evans was accused.
Both described "sexual behaviour" similar to that Mr Evans said he had observed during his encounter with her.
The decision to allow the details before the jury was heavily criticised by some, including blogger Jean Hatchet who said it was "callous and cruel".
It was also criticised by former solicitor general Vera Baird QC.
After the conclusion of the trial, BBC home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani said defence lawyers are usually barred from cross-examining an alleged victim about their sexual behaviour or history to protect them from "humiliating treatment".
But there can be "exceptional reasons" to ditch that rule in the interests of a fair trial, he added.
In her first new year message as prime minister, Mrs May called for unity following June's "divisive" vote, ahead of negotiations on the UK's exit from the EU.
She said: "If 2016 was the year you voted for that change, this is the year we start to make it happen."
Mrs May also quoted MP Jo Cox, who was killed a week before the EU referendum.
The prime minister said in December she would set out her proposals for a "truly global Britain" in a speech on Brexit in the new year.
She has pledged to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, getting leaving talks with the EU under way, by the end of March.
These can take up to two years, unless an agreement is reached to prolong the process.
In her new year message, Mrs May said: "I know that the referendum last June was divisive at times.
"I know, of course, that not everyone shared the same point of view, or voted in the same way.
"But I know too that, as we face the opportunities ahead of us, our shared interests and ambitions can bring us together...
"So when I sit around the negotiating table in Europe this year, it will be with that in mind - the knowledge that I am there to get the right deal - not just for those who voted to leave - but for every single person in this country.
"Of course, the referendum laid bare some further divisions in our country...
"This is the year we need to pull down these barriers that hold people back, securing a better deal at home for ordinary, working people."
Mrs May said the divisions revealed by the Brexit campaign needed to be addressed in 2017.
"As the fantastic MP Jo Cox, who was so tragically taken from us last year, put it: 'We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us'," she said.
She said it was "extremely disappointing" that Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy went £12m over budget last year.
Mrs Foster, in a document released on June monitoring, said Mr Kennedy had relied on receiving additional money for day-to-day spending.
That money "did not materialise" due to the executive's budget pressures.
She said "very serious issues" are facing Stormont and she will circulate a paper within the executive "in the near future".
But funding cuts of £39m as a result of the chancellor's budget in March will not be felt immediately.
She said the executive has agreed to defer that reduction in the block grant until the 2016-17 financial year.
Plans to reduce the number of Stormont departments from 12 to nine are moving forward.
"While a bill has not yet been introduced in the assembly it is important that work is progressed to ensure the restructuring can be implemented," Mrs Foster said.
She added the changes will have an impact on next year's budget talks.
"With the change to a nine-department structure planned for a few weeks into the 2016-17 financial year, the executive has now agreed that the budget should be conducted on the new departmental structure.
"The executive has agreed that preparatory work in relation to this can commence over the summer months."
He has been with the Latics since 2014 when he joined from Colchester and is their longest-serving player.

He added home grown wines were starting to compete against their better-known rivals on a price and quality perspective.
The review follows pressure from civil rights groups to investigate the death of Mario Woods at the hands of police.
His shooting in a hail of bullets in December sparked widespread outrage.
The force is the latest in the US to face attention over fatalities involving African-Americans.
However the review will only provide recommendations, not court-enforceable reforms.
"We will examine the San Francisco Police Department's current operational policies, training practices and accountability systems, and help identify key areas for improvement," US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement.
When the review is completed the Justice Department will give San Francisco police a list of procedures it can follow to insure more fairness in its dealings with citizens.
Local residents and citizen groups had been calling for the federal government to examine video footage of San Francisco police gunning down Woods, who was suspected of carrying a knife.
Videos of his death under intensive fire went viral in December.
San Francisco Mayor Edwin Lee wrote to Ms Lynch asking her to launch an investigation in the interests of openness and maintaining good relations between police and the city's population.
Police in cities throughout the US have been subjected to intense scrutiny for using excessive and lethal force against suspects, many of them black.
Other American police departments such as Baltimore have asked the Justice Department to conduct similar inquiries following allegations of discrimination.
In Baltimore's case a review of police practice was already under way when black detainee Freddie Gray was killed in April.
Gray's death quickly became a flashpoint in a national debate over police use of force - especially against black men.
Protests raged for several days and at one point turned violent, forcing officials to declare a state of emergency and to deploy national guard troops across the city of 620,000 people.
The culture, media and sport select committee said it was "extraordinary" that S4C found itself governed by the BBC without having had any say.
In a wide-ranging report into the BBC MPs said it was "unclear" how S4C could retain its independence under the new funding arrangements from 2013.
A BBC Trust spokeswoman said the BBC was committed to an independent S4C.
S4C currently receives most of its funding from a government grant, worth about £100m in 2009/10.
However, after a decision confirmed by Chancellor George Osborne as part of last autumn's Spending Review, from 2013 most of its funding will come from the licence fee.
By Torin DouglasBBC media correspondent
The BBC Trust itself says the BBC has no ambition to take over S4C and that they are committed to a creatively independent S4C.
S4C gets some revenue from the licence fee and they share S4C's determination that the channel should retain it's strong relationship with the independent production sector in Wales.
But it was all about this very hasty deal last autumn as part of the wider government search for cuts.
It all happened very quickly and what the committee says is that they think the overall licence fee settlement was reasonable, but the BBC has taken on lots of extra responsibilities not just S4C but funding the World Service, funding local television, funding BBC Monitoring and they say it's not at all clear how far the licence fee payer will actually benefit.
It's also not clear how far the BBC now needs to change the shape of its services to cope with all of this
In their report the committee commented: "The shotgun marriage of S4C and the BBC is an awkward match.
"We... find it extraordinary that the government and the BBC, which is fiercely protective of its own independence, should find it acceptable to agree a change in the funding and governance arrangements for another statutorily independent broadcaster, S4C, without the latter having any involvement, say or even knowledge of the deal until it has been done."
The BBC Trust spokeswoman added: "The BBC has no ambitions to take over S4C.
"We are committed to a creatively independent S4C, which attracts revenue from a range of sources, including the licence fee.
"We share S4C's determination that the channel should retain its strong relationship with the independent production sector in Wales."
However, John Whittingdale, chair of the culture, media and sport committee, likened the deal to a "takeover".
He also called for "greater clarity" on how the BBC Wales-S4C relationship was going to work.
"The BBC does talk about overseeing the spending of the (S4C) money and that does sound to us rather like a takeover," he told BBC Radio Wales.
"So I think there does need to be safeguards built in and there needs to be much greater detailed knowledge about precisely how this relationship is going to work."
He offered hope to opponents of the planned changes, saying the UK government had indicated that if it was not working then they would take the money back and possibly directly fund S4C.
They might also examine whether or not the money "could be spread more widely in order to support public service programming in Welsh".
Last week a report by the Welsh affairs select committee said the deal for S4C to be funded by the licence fee was made in haste.
They said it was "regrettable" that UK government ministers and the BBC agreed the deal in hours.
An umbrella group of unions and language campaigners, reiterated its call for the UK government, BBC and S4C to end talks and for the proposed arrangements to be scrapped.
"No-one wants this, it's not good for the Welsh language, Welsh language broadcasting or public service broadcasting in general," said the group, in an open letter.
New league tables for England, out next week, show which schools boost pupils' progress from ages 11 and 16.
Mr Gibb said the old system allowed schools to exploit tables, and some used it to help boost their rankings.
Labour gave the move a cautious welcome.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Mr Gibb explained: "The purpose of performance tables must be to incentivise schools to raise standards and to enable parents to make informed decisions when choosing a school."
But he added: "The way school league tables have evolved over the past two decades can encourage a degree of 'gaming' by some weaker schools, desperate to keep above the standard that would trigger intervention by Ofsted or the Department for Education."
Mr Gibb said that, since 1997, the number of C grades awarded had increased because weaker schools had been incentivised to focus on them.
He said this meant students who could have gained As were getting Bs, and E-grade students who were capable of achieving Ds had been neglected.
"We intend to make available data formerly kept secret in the Department for Education," Mr Gibb wrote.
"For example, we want to show how well secondary schools educate those children who left primary school still struggling in the 3Rs.
"The new tables will have a column showing the proportion of such children who went on to achieve five or more GCSEs at grades A* to C. We can then compare schools to see which are better at helping children who started from this low base."
The figures will also highlight how well a secondary school educates those students who joined them as high achievers and will show how well schools improve the chances of pupils who have come from poorer backgrounds, Mr Gibb said.
Shadow education secretary Stephen Twigg said: "Labour introduced value added measures in league tables to measure how schools helped children improve, which the Tory government scrapped. It is good that they have changed their minds so we can measure the progress pupils make not just the raw exam results.
"Labour has been saying for some time that the Tory-led government needs to take stock of research evidence and advice from experts carefully and deal with coasting schools and poor teaching. Although today's news makes a good headline, it remains to be seen whether this will amount to real reform."
Last year the league tables were overhauled to show results in the English Baccalaureate - or EBacc - which records achievement in five core subjects.
Last year the government said it would consider the value of vocational qualifications in performance measures.
Known as equivalent qualifications, some of these count for as much as four or even six GCSEs. The government said there were "perverse incentives" for schools to offer them and thereby boost their league table position.
Prop Mako, 25, and 23-year-old brother Billy, who plays at number eight, will remain at Allianz Park until the summer of 2019.
"This is fantastic news for everyone associated with the club," Sarries director of rugby Mark McCall said.
"To have two players of the calibre of Mako and Billy commit their futures to Saracens is extremely exciting."
Loose-head Mako joined Saracens from Bristol in 2011, with Billy making the switch to north London from Wasps two years later.
Both have become England regulars since joining the club, with Mako winning 29 international caps, while Billy has made 23 appearances for the national side.
The pair featured in England's Six Nations victories against Scotland and Italy earlier this month.
"What has been great for us is to witness the progression of both of them from promising youngsters to two of the world's best in their respective positions," McCall added.
"Their contribution off the field is equally as important."
The head coach was delighted that his Luxembourg outfit left Scotland only 1-0 behind after the first leg.
"I think all the pressure is on Rangers to make sure they go through," he said.
"They probably expected to win tonight by five or six goals and it's not the case, so anything could happen next week."
Progres, who have yet to win any of their 13 games in European competition, finished fourth in Luxembourg's top flight last season, 21 points behind champions F91 Dudelange.
But they will go into next Tuesday's second leg at the 4,800-capacity Stade Jos Haupert with renewed hope of a famous victory.
To do so they will have to improve on their two best European results - a 1-1 draw with Glentoran in 1981, thanks to their only goal in European competition, and a 0-0 with Shamrock Rovers in 2015.
"We will do our best," said Amodio. "We will start with 0-0 next week and anything is possible in football."
Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha stressed after the first leg that his side, playing their first European tie in six years, needed time to gel.
Midfielder Ryan Jack, one of the three summer signings to make their competitive debut, is confident there is more to come from Rangers and was delighted with the reception he received followin ghis move from Aberdeen.
"I really enjoyed it," he told Rangers TV after a game won by Kenny Miller's first-half goal. "The atmosphere was incredible, coming out of the tunnel was outstanding and it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
"Those are the types of nights I signed for Rangers for. The European nights under the lights are always special and we got the result in the end, but we know it is far from over.
"I think maybe the final pass was missing or the final cross. We just want to be more clinical as a team to finish the tie off.
"I thought they just sat in and made it frustrating for us, but that is what is going to happen when teams come to Ibrox."
Jack admitted he was still adapting to his new team and coach.
"Sometimes it is difficult on your debut and I am still trying to get used to my team-mates and they are probably still trying to get used to me," added the 25-year-old.
"There are another few new signings in the side and we are still trying to gel together.
"On the whole, we are happy with the performance, but we know we need to step it up again next week."
Traditionally the Cologne-based conference encourages people to attend dressed as video game characters.
But ticket holders have now been told that all "imitation weapons or weapon-like items" will be confiscated.
Organiser Koelnmesse said the crackdown was important "to avoid frightening children and families".
Security has been tightened "due to the terrible incidents of the past weeks," the firm explained.
It also asked attendees not to bring bags and rucksacks unless "absolutely necessary".
The event, which this year will be open 18-21 August, traditionally lures more than 300,000 video game enthusiasts, many of which come in cosplay - short for costume play - where they dress as their favourite video game characters.
Germany has been rocked by three attacks in the past month.
On 19 July, a teenage Afghan refugee armed with an axe and knife injured four people on a train in Wuerzburg before being shot dead by police.
Then on 22 July, a shooting at a Munich shopping centre left nine people dead and 16 people injured.
Three days later, a Syrian man detonated a bomb outside a music festival in Ansbach, killing himself and wounding 12 other people.
In the wake of these attacks, Koelnmesse has asked fans to keep cosplay swords and guns away from the city regardless of material or size.
"We would kindly like to ask you to refrain from wearing imitation weapons or weapon-like items also in the city in consideration for the inhabitants and visitors to the city of Cologne."
Carla Whitlock, 37, was attacked in Southampton's Guildhall Square on 18 September.
Geoffrey Midmore, 26, pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent. His brother, Billy Midmore, 22, denied the same charge.
The men, both from London but of no fixed address, were remanded in custody after the hearing at Southampton Crown Court.
Billy Midmore is due to appear before the same court for a plea and case management hearing on 15 January.
Geoffrey Midmore will be sentenced at a date to be decided.
Ms Whitlock suffered serious burns to her face, neck and arms in the attack outside the Turtle Bay restaurant. She also lost her sight in one eye.
The closure of the 50-year-old Molson Coors complex ended a 250-year history of brewing in Alton, Hampshire.
A newly-published development brief includes plans for 140-200 new homes and at least 100 jobs on the site.
The Alton Society said the brief, to be considered by the district council next week, was "one of the most exciting things to happen to Alton for years".
The group's chairman Bob Booker said the blueprint had the "wow factor", including a new "green corridor" along the River Wey, linking the High Street to King's Pond.
He said it would help to attract tourists to Alton, which neighbours the South Downs National Park and Jane Austen's House Museum at Chawton.
The brief has been compiled by Molson Coors, East Hampshire District Council and Alton Town Council to guide future planning applications for the site.
It says 100-120 jobs should be created, possibly in a new hotel or micro-brewery.
There could also be an unspecified "community facility", possibly replacing the town's community centre.
The brewery closed in May 2015 with the loss of around 108 jobs, after losing a contract with Heineken.
Benjamin Troalic, 34, from Guelle Flats, Vrangue, St Peter Port, was arrested near his home on 4 April.
He pleaded guilty to the charge at Guernsey's Magistrate's Court on 20 April.
Judge Graham McKerrell said taking into account his plea and mitigation around health issues a custodial sentence was still necessary.
The court heard Troalic had a history of drug and alcohol offences.
Judge McKerrell approved a forfeiture and destruction order for weapons found in his home including a crossbow and two baseball bats.
The fixture at Parc Olympique Lyonnais kicked off 45 minutes late after clashes between fans before kick-off.
Lyon face four charges for the setting-off of fireworks, blocking stairways, insufficient organisation and a pitch invasion after a late winning goal.
The Turkish club have been charged for setting off fireworks, the throwing of objects and crowd disturbances.
European football's governing body has not yet set a date for a hearing, at which its ethics and disciplinary body will determine any punishments.
Lyon's charge for insufficient organisation relates to poor crowd segregation, while the pitch invasion charge brought against the club is not for fans entering the pitch before kick-off, which Uefa says happened because Besiktas fans threw fireworks.
Violent clashes between fans at one end of the stadium followed the throwing of fireworks, with Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas approaching supporters to calm tensions in the stadium.
Police had also been forced to intervene in trouble in the city before the game. Authorities had categorised the fixture 'high risk', with about 500 police reportedly stationed at the stadium - more than double the usual amount.
In the previous round, Besiktas met Olympiakos, with both clubs working with Uefa to ban travelling supporters in an attempt to prevent trouble.
Besiktas go into the second leg in Turkey on 20 April 2-1 down, after Lyon came from behind late on to win in France.
Fake news is nothing new, depending on what you mean by it.
But during the past year - specifically during Donald Trump's election - it has become a cancer in the body politic, growing from an isolated but malignant tumour into a raging, mortal threat.
No hack can witness this without alarm. As a BBC journalist I am required to be politically impartial; but as my distinguished colleague Nick Robinson has argued, I am under no obligation to be impartial about democracy (as against tyranny, for example).
Nor am I under any obligation to be impartial about truth, as against lies. The possibility of truth is a necessary condition for democracy.
Fake news is an assault on truth. Therefore it behoves all right-thinking journalists to combat fake news.
First of all, what is fake news? Fake news is of three kinds.
First, false information deliberately circulated by those who have scant regard for the truth but hope to advance particular (often extreme) political causes and make money out of online traffic.
Second, false information that is circulated by journalists who do not realise it is false.
All unintended errors of fact in the history of journalism, from hoaxes to exaggerated headlines - Freddie Starr never ate a hamster - fall into this category.
That is why I say fake news is nothing new: in fact it is as old as journalism, if not older. The point about this kind of fake news is it often contains at least a scintilla of truth.
Third, news that causes Donald Trump discomfort. At his press conference last week, the president-elect targeted CNN, conflating that organisation with Buzzfeed.
CNN says it had corroborated accusations about Mr Trump that it published; whereas Buzzfeed published a dossier that contained allegations that hadn't been corroborated.
Mr Trump was discomfited by CNN; therefore he described it as fake news.
The first kind of fake news - deliberate lies - has been energised by the viral power of social media.
The Pope didn't back Mr Trump; nor did Denzel Washington. But millions may have believed one or both those propositions, and their originators got rich on the lie.
The third kind of fake news isn't really fake at all.
It's simply news that some people don't like to acknowledge, and wish to silence.
But if you believe that the media should be free to scrutinise the use and abuse of power, and so hold power to account, the silencing of legitimate questions through the abusive epithet "fake news" is clearly anti-democratic.
The first two kinds of fake news are, to varying degrees, hostile to the democratic process.
A useful distinction would describe the second as false news rather than fake news.
But with the third kind, it is the use of the term "fake news", rather than what it is describing, that is dangerous.
The first kind spreads deceit and pollutes the well of civility on which strong societies must draw.
The second - false news - damages trust in the media. In the third instance, use of the term "fake news" numbs scrutiny and also pollutes that well of civility.
All proper journalists reside in the zone between truth and falsehood.
Some try harder than others to resist the magnetic pull - and it can be very strong at times - of the latter. Most, if they have any self-worth, steer clear of the outright lies that make up that first kind of fake news.
Many big media organisations recognise fake news is dangerous and are acting against it.
Facebook, after initially expressing scepticism about the influence of fake news in the presidential election, has started taking it very seriously indeed.
The BBC is boosting Reality Check, a fact-checking service that will work with Facebook. Several years ago Channel 4 News launched Fact Check, which fulfilled a similar role.
These are all pleasing, practical measures. But there is a deeper philosophical issue at stake, concerning the role of truth in our society.
No society can conduct the informed conversation necessary for civility, the resolution of disputes, or the judicious exercise of power and law if there is no agreement on basic facts.
You cannot choose how to go forward if you cannot agree what just happened.
Therefore it is necessary to agree that there are facts, or true propositions.
In the West today, largely but not solely because of the advent of digital media, the truth is more vulnerable than it has been for a long time.
This is partly because whereas falsity comes by degrees, truth is absolute; and therefore anything that chips away at its granite surface leaves a big dent.
It is also because, as I wrote in the last editorial of the Independent newspaper (now solely online), the truth is hard, expensive and boring. Whereas lies are easy, cheap and thrilling.
Finding out the real story takes time and effort. Time and effort cost money. Once you've found the real story, you have to verify it: that's what makes it true.
But verification also takes time and effort. And sometimes, the thrilling tip-off you received turns out to be no more than that.
It would be amazing if the Moon were made of cheese, or Elvis Presley still lived. But it isn't, and he doesn't.
Fake news of the second kind - the sort of exaggerations and errors that are inevitable in journalism, and which I call false news - will always be with us.
But fake news of the first kind has to be combated, and use of the term to silence scrutiny deserves the same harsh treatment.
You cannot conduct either of these battles, however, unless you have the preliminary belief that truth is not only possible, but vital.
And where might that come from? I'd suggest you start with the philosophers Bertrand Russell, AJ Ayer, and Simon Blackburn.

Beaumont and Sciver's partnership was all the more impressive given that it was constructed from 52-3, after Lauren Winfield was superbly taken by a diving Amy Satterthwaite at gully, Sarah Taylor offered Leigh Kasperek a low return catch and Heather Knight was lbw playing across the line to Suzie Bates.
If consolidation was the priority early on, they increasingly made scoring look easy on a dry, used pitch under sunny skies at the County Ground.
Sciver was the more dominant partner during their 27-over alliance, mixing powerful leg-side strokes with excellent placement and superb running between the wickets.
The more compact Beaumont drove well until she chipped Amelia Kerr tamely to mid-off, one of four wickets for the 16-year-old leg-spinner.
Dropped on 58 by a diving Kasperek at short fine leg, Sciver scored with almost total freedom as she brought up a 92-ball hundred, her second of the tournament after making 137 against Pakistan.
She eventually swung Kerr to deep mid-wicket, the first of four wickets to fall for only eight runs in 12 balls to end England's hopes of reaching 300.
Former England captain Charlotte Edwards said on BBC Test Match Special: "Today without a doubt has been Nat Sciver's best innings and most important innings in terms of the context of the game. It has been exceptional."

While Sciver struck 11 fours, arguably the most memorable stroke was a between-the-legs shot that will not be found in any coaching manual.
Making room to drive to Holly Huddleston, Sciver was cramped for room by a full, inswinging delivery, but she merely angled the bat slightly to deliberately divert the ball between her legs for two to fine leg.
Player of the match Sciver said: "That sounds pretty good. If it is right length then I am able to do it."
For all New Zealand's vaunted batting prowess - they had lost a combined five wickets in their three successful chases in this tournament - they never threatened to pull off the second highest pursuit in women's ODI history.
Bates and Satterthwaite's 75-run stand for the second wicket was approaching dangerous proportions when the former was drawn out of her crease by left-arm spinner Hartley and easily stumped by Taylor.
It sparked a collapse from 89-1 to 133-5, with all four wickets falling to spin.
Satterthwaite was caught and bowled by Laura Marsh via a leading edge, Shrubsole made good ground to claim a Sophie Devine skier off Hartley, and Katey Martin was bowled aiming an unsightly heave at Knight.
Jenny Gunn accounted for Erin Bermingham and Kasperek in successive overs, and New Zealand's fate was sealed long before Huddleston was lbw attempting to sweep Hartley.

England captain Heather Knight: "We were really under pressure and that partnership was worth more on that pitch. The batters really stand out at the moment.
"Winning is a habit and hopefully we can carry on."
New Zealand captain Suzie Bates: "The partnership from Beaumont and Sciver took the game away from us. That is where they won the game.
"We have played really good cricket in this tournament and lost to England and Australia, who are quality sides. It is not doom and gloom. If we play well we can beat India."
Former England captain Charlotte Edwards: "England are doing almost everything really well. Today was exceptional, the way they rebuilt their innings from 52-3.
"The only area you can criticise is their catching - that has been a constant problem in the World Cup. You hope it doesn't hurt them."
When former five-weight boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather and UFC lightweight title-holder Conor McGregor step into the ring at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on 26 August, some 20,000 people will be in the arena.
The scrap for tickets during Monday's release was intense, short-lived and disappointing for the majority. But will anyone be willing to shell out $150,000 (£115,000) to be there?
Ticket resale website StubHub has tickets on sale at that price, with several others at a comparatively cheap $100,000 (£75,000).
American Mayweather, 40, will come out of retirement to face McGregor in the 29-year-old Irishman's first professional boxing bout.
McGregor's lack of experience has led to some criticism of the bout, from which both men are expected to earn as much as $100m (£78.4m).
UFC president Dana White wanted to avoid a repeat of Mayweather's 2015 bout with Manny Pacquiao, for which many tickets fell into the hands of brokers.
His solution was to sell seats through Ticketmaster, with each purchase limited to two tickets, and any transaction only possible with a code issued to Ticketmaster members.
But codes - priced at $200 (£153) - were quickly available to buy on Ebay, allowing non-members to access Ticketmaster, where prices ranged from £385-£7,706.
StubHub is yet to sell any of the tickets listed by users at $150,000, and told BBC Sport $3,265 (£2,500) is the average price at which seats have changed hands.
The cheapest ticket available on the site - for a position in the upper tier, in a row yet to be determined - is $1,875 (£1,433).
Speaking earlier this week, White said: "A lot of shady things can go on with tickets, as if they aren't expensive enough.
"The fight is making enough money, you don't have to go around and sell the tickets to brokers. Everybody is making enough money - stop.
"I wanted everybody to buy their own tickets. I'm buying my own, as are Conor and Floyd."
Mayweather Promotions has negotiated a deal to broadcast the fight in 400 cinemas across the US - and organiser Fathom Events told BBC Sport it expects "sold-out auditoriums" at an average cost of $40 (£31) a seat.
It is estimated the combination of pay-per-view revenue, ticket sales, sponsorship, merchandise sales and receipts from cinema ticket or closed circuit television venues will generate about $600m.
The number of pay-per-view buys will prove pivotal in whether the bout becomes the richest of all time.
Mayweather's bout with Pacquiao - regarded as the richest in history, with total revenue of about $623m (£476m) - had 4.6 million buys.
It comes a week after the search giant announced that AlphaGo had beaten French Go champion Fan Hui.
That was seen as a pivotal moment for AI, similar to IBM's Deep Blue beating Garry Kasparov at chess.
The match will take place in Seoul, South Korea, and will be live-streamed via YouTube.
Demis Hassabis, head of Google's DeepMind lab, announced the news in a tweet.
Mr Sedol said in a statement that although AlphaGo appeared to be a strong player, he was "confident" that he could win the match.
Go is widely regarded as a more complicated game than chess, because of the larger choice of moves, making it a good measure of how AI technology is developing.
Computers have played Go and beaten amateurs but, before Google's victory against the French champion, experts had predicted that it would take another 10 years until a computer could beat the world's best Go professionals.
There has been a long tradition of AI software going head-to-head with human players.
In 1996, IBM's Deep Blue took on chess world champion Garry Kasparov and won, although Mr Kasparov went on to win three and draw two of the following five games.
Then in 2011, IBM's cognitive platform Watson took on the world's best Jeopardy players, a popular American quiz show and scooped the $1m prize.
Watson had access to 200 million pages of structured and unstructured content but was not connected to the internet during the game.
What is Go?
Go is thought to date back several thousand years to ancient China.
Using black and white stones on a grid, players gain the upper hand by surrounding their opponent's pieces with their own.
The rules are simpler than those of chess, but a player typically has a choice of 200 moves compared with about 20 in chess.
There are more possible positions in Go than atoms in the universe, according to DeepMind's team.
Go is played by more than 40 million people worldwide.
It can be very difficult to determine who is winning, and many of the top human players rely on instinct.
The items, valued at £15,000-£20,000, were part of a 12-place setting of dining cutlery dating from 1902.
Proceeds from the auction, to be held at Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh next week, will go to The Willow Tea Rooms Trust in Glasgow.
The tea rooms at 217 Sauchiehall Street were taken over by the trust in 2014.
The cutlery set was originally commissioned by Glasgow Girls artist Jessie Newbery and her husband Fra in 1902 as a gift from her parents.
The commission was handled by jeweller Edwards & Company in Glasgow and made by DW Hislop, a local silversmith who worked with Mackintosh on other projects.
Each set contained a soup spoon, dessert spoon, dinner fork and dessert fork, with knives supplied separately from a stock pattern.
All of the pieces were later divided equally between the Newberys' daughters Mary and Elsie, with Mary's cutlery sold separately during the 1970s and 1980s.
The silver fork and spoon were donated by Celia Sinclair, founder and chairwoman of The Willow Tea Rooms Trust.
She said: "I am delighted that I am able to offer these beautiful objects for sale to benefit the work we are doing at the trust. The money raised from the sale will go towards the restoration of the tea rooms."
Renowned as the most elegant of Miss Cranston's four tea rooms, the Willow Tea Rooms opened in October 1903, with Mackintosh at work designing it from the beginning of that year, if not earlier.
The trust purchased the premises in July 2014 and as well as restoring the tea rooms, it plans to incorporate a visitor centre to celebrate the building and other works by Mackintosh.
It will also highlight the achievements of Miss Cranston, an early female entrepreneur.
John Mackie, decorative arts specialist at Lyon & Turnbull, said: "I greatly admire the work the trust has undertaken to ensure the legacy of Mackintosh will be here for future generations to enjoy."
The fork and spoon will go under the hammer on October 26.
About £1.5m will go to Melin Homes to begin building 22 new properties at Beacons Court, Crickhowell, in April.
The remaining £508,000 will go to Mid Wales Housing to complete seven homes at the former Territorial Army centre in Newtown.
The council said the money would address the area's need for housing.
The Dana prison in Shrewsbury, which dates from the 19th Century, closed in 2013.
It was one of a number of jails to close in a bid to save £63m. The Grade II listed building was sold in June 2014.
The plans, which also include provision for a gym and restaurant, have been submitted to Shropshire Council.

After a year-long investigation, the UN commission of inquiry said that Eritrea operates a vast spying and detention network, holding people without trial for years, including children.
Neighbours and family members are often drafted to inform on each other, according to the report.
"It is not law that rules Eritreans - but fear," it says.
The inquiry said that "systematic, widespread and gross human rights violations have been and are being committed in Eritrea under the authority of the Government".
The investigators are to present their findings to the UN Human Rights Council on 23 June.
Eritreans account for the second-largest group of migrants crossing the Mediterranean, after Syrians.
The record, which received a host of five star reviews, is notable for its 10-minute title track, which marries a traditional Dorset folk song with Miles Davis-inspired trumpet figures.
The band closed the ceremony, at London's Royal Albert Hall, by playing the song, complete with clog dancing.
Joan Armatrading also played and took home a lifetime achievement award.
Presenting the award, Radio 2's Sara Cox called Armatrading an "understated trailblazer".
Armatrading said she was "surprised and delighted" to be recognised for her contribution to British music, including songs such as Weakness In Me, Love and Affection, Willow and Down To Zero, which she played on stage.
"I have heard people say that awards don't mean much to them but for me, being given an award means that I am being told that my music is being appreciated.
"As a singer-songwriter that's one of the main things I'm asking for."
Norma Waterson, the "grande dame" of British folk, also won a lifetime achievement prize, presented by Richard Hawley, who remembered quizzing her about the folk scene of the 1960s.
"Did you lot do loads of drugs," he asked. "No," she replied, "but we ate a lot of pickled onions."
Accepting her award, Waterson paid tribute to her late brother, Mike, and sister, Lal, with whom she sang at the start of her career.
"It shouldn't just be me here," she said. "Singing with them was like being in heaven."
The Unthanks were presented with the best album prize by Sherlock star Martin Freeman, a "big fan" who praised their "blatant disregard for genre or rules".
"Their original material is already very close to being classic," he observed.
Several winners and presenters also noted the recent surge in interest around folk music.
Receiving the Good Tradition Award, for his contribution to the preservation of folk music, John McCusker marvelled at the "explosion of young people, who are not only playing with technical brilliance, but with such passion and enthusiasm".
Elsewhere at the ceremony, singer-songwriter Sandy Denny was admitted to the hall of fame.
Denny, who died of a brain haemorrhage in 1978 at the age of 31, is considered one of the most influential vocalists in the history of British folk, both as a solo artist and through her work with The Strawbs, Fairport Convention, and Fotheringay.
"The recordings she left behind have captivated, moved and inspired the next generation," said presenter Julie Fowlis.
Among her acolytes was Rufus Wainwright, who paid tribute by performing the classic Who Knows Where The Time Goes?, a song which was once voted the favourite folk track of all time by listeners of BBC Radio 2.
US artist Rihannon Giddens won folk singer of the year, following the success of her debut solo album, Tomorrow Is My Turn.
The Grammy-nominated record was produced by T Bone Burnett, who approached the singer during rehearsals for a concert based on the soundtrack of the Coen Brothers' film Inside Llewyn Davis and insisted they record an album together.
Teesside trio The Young'uns, who specialise in a capella performances, won best group for the second year in a row; while best duo went to husband and wife Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman.
The full list of awards was as follows:
Hosted by Mark Radcliffe and Julie Fowlis, the ceremony was broadcast live on BBC Radio 2 and can be heard again on the BBC iPlayer.
It will also be televised on the BBC Red Button from Saturday 30 April until Thursday 5 May.
Little, 25, has scored more than 30 goals for Rangers over the past two seasons and can also play full-back.
Preston manager Simon Grayson said that Little would bring "good qualities" to his squad.
"I am delighted that he has chosen us over quite a few other teams," added the Preston manager.
"Andy has a fantastic goal record in Scotland and he can handle playing for a big club, as he has shown with Rangers.
"He will bring real pace to the striking department and that is something we have been looking to add."
Enniskillen man Little has won eight Northern Ireland caps.
He scored 25 goals in the 2012-13 campaign but struggled with injury during when Rangers won the League One title last season.
The forward joined Rangers' youth ranks in 2006 and made his first-team debut in 2009.
They came first and second in a vote on the Channel Island and will serve a three year term in office.
The other two candidates were Matthew Birmingham and Chris Rowley.
Subject to final approval from Alderney States, this will mean a second term as Guernsey Representative for Mr Jean, while it will be Mr McKinley's, who was elected in November, first term.
The 10-member Alderney States sends two representatives to Guernsey States.
Alderney is self-governing and one of the principal islands of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, which also includes Sark and Herm.
The proposal is among measures the government is considering to reduce congestion on English A-roads.
Roadworks on major routes would also have to take place seven days a week so that projects are completed sooner or be lifted until they resume.
The transport secretary said the plans offered "welcome relief" for drivers.
Patrick McLoughlin said: "Roadworks can be essential but that doesn't mean they should be in place any longer than is absolutely necessary.
"These commonsense measures will be a welcome relief to those trying to get from A to B on our local roads."
It is estimated there are about two million roadworks every year, with drivers losing millions of hours annually by being stuck in traffic.
Councils and utility companies would be fined for needlessly inconveniencing drivers by leaving road works in place over weekends when no-one is working on them.
Penalties could also be handed out to those who leave temporary traffic lights in place after work has been finished.
Daily fines of £5,000 currently exist for roadworks that overrun.
The Department for Transport plans would only apply to A-roads, which are managed by local authorities.
Steve Gooding, director of the RAC Foundation, said: "Road users see red when they come across sets of temporary traffic lights that are stopping traffic but there are no workmen in sight or the work has actually finished.
"Ministers can't stop utility companies digging up the roads but they can make firms pay the price if the work is not done swiftly and they do not tidy up after themselves."
The reverse came as another blow to their already struggling defence of the title. Lovat were the only side to beat Newtonmore in any competition in 2016. But this time round the Badenoch side already have three defeats and a draw from eight games in the league alone, leaving them fifth in the table.
In the other Premiership encounter, Kinlochshiel dropped points for the second week in a row after a 1-1 draw with Lochaber.
The south semi-final of the Artemis MacAulay Cup will be between the area's top two sides after Oban Camanachd beat town rivals Celtic 4-0 and Kyles overcame Glasgow Mid Argyll 2-0.
Caberfeidh, with a 6-1 home win over Strathglass, went top of the National Division, where Inveraray thumped Inverness 10-0.
Greg Matheson struck the only goal at Balgate to send Lovat third in the Premiership.
At Spean Bridge, Paul MacRae scored first on the half-hour for Kinlochshiel, a week after their first loss of points. However, Shiel were denied a return to the winning habit when Stuart Callison, early in the second half, got an equaliser which now leaves Lochaber in the relegation zone only on goal difference.
Despite their absence on cup business, undefeated Kyles were also major league beneficiaries and remain three points clear of Kingussie at the top. Kyles have two games in hand and are six points clear of Newtonmore, who are level with Kyles on matches.
A goal in each half from Dunky Kerr ensured Kyles' MacAulay Cup progress. Meanwhile, their future opponents Camanachd relied on a first-half goal apiece from Aiden MacIntyre and Daniel MacVicar and a second-half double from Matt Rippon for their Oban derby success.
Scotland striker Kevin Bartlett has proved a huge asset to Caberfeidh since his return to the club and got four in the second half in their defeat of Strathglass. Craig Morrison and Colin MacLennan set the ball rolling for Cabers and Mike Stokes got the consolation for Strathglass at 3-0.
Inveraray ran riot at Inverness to go third in the National Division. An Alan MacDonald first-half hat-trick was supported by six other scorers, including Fraser Watt who completed a double in a minute to take the final score into double figures.
Bryan Simpson got the only goal of the game as Fort William progressed in the Balliemore Cup on Skye.
With both sides fighting for their lives, the first half was a tense affair with few chances, but Aldershot seized control with two goals in four minutes after the break.
Will Evans broke the deadlock with a bullet header from Nick Arnold's corner after 55 minutes, before Bernard Mensah made it four goals in as many games soon after to put the result beyond doubt.
Aldershot finish the season in fifth place and will face Tranmere in the play-offs, while Braintree go down in 22nd place having needed to win and hope other results went their way on the final day.

We return, initially, to Clermont, where he was Cotter's second-row enforcer and one of the bruisers who finally got the club over the winning line in the French championship for the first time in their history, in 2010, after losing in the finals of 2009, 2008 and 2007.
Cudmore talks about Cotter's vast influence and, in turn, the influence of his assistant in France - Joe Schmidt.
If we're looking for somebody to chat about the rival coaches in Dublin on Saturday when Ireland meet Scotland then Cudmore is as good a man as any - and better than most.
"I was at the club from 2005, a year before Vern came and then a year and a bit after that Joe arrived. And that was the start of something very special for all of us."
Cudmore is a Canadian monster with a penchant, in the past, for on-field thunder and occasional bouts of violence. He's a strange contradiction; a beast on the rugby pitch and yet a gentleman off it.
That line about Cotter making him a better man? Well, to understand it we have to go back a little further, to Cudmore's early life in Squamish in British Columbia where in his late teens he got involved in the drug scene, collecting money for dealers and then getting done for assault, an offence that saw him spend his 18th birthday in a juvenile detention centre.
Things got worse in the years after. When a neighbour came round to investigate the noise coming from a house party Cudmore held, he was beaten to death by two young men hanging around the scene.
Cudmore needed to leave this life behind - and he did. He moved to West Vancouver to play rugby, then to New Zealand and onwards to France. He spent two years at Grenoble then surfaced at Montferrand - or Clermont as they are now known.
"We became very close, Vern and me," says Cudmore. "He's a great family man. A country boy like myself. He comes from a small farm in New Zealand, likes to go out for a hunt, enjoys a good chunk of meat and a nice bottle of red wine. He's a simple man and extremely passionate about rugby.
"After working together for nine years we developed a great relationship. He helped make me a better man. He helped me when I needed help, supported me when I got into a bit of trouble, developed me in lots of ways. I have such huge respect for that man I couldn't tell you."
The pre-Cotter Clermont were doing okay and nothing more. They had many internationals in their ranks, many marquee names, but they were inconsistent. They could be sensational and they could be rank; you never knew what was coming next.
"We had an amazing amount of talent but there wasn't much direction in the group," adds Cudmore.
"It was known as a team that had enormous potential, and money, but didn't have anybody at the helm who was guiding the ship properly and making sure everybody was on the same course.
"We had a fine collection of individuals but we weren't a team. Before Vern arrived there was a lot of frustration at the club because some of the guys were just floating along. If things were going well, they'd perform well, but if things weren't going well then some would just roll over and die.
"I knew nothing about Vern before he came. I didn't know about Joe either. They knew each other from coaching together at Bay of Plenty in New Zealand but I didn't know any of that back then."
He was to learn soon enough.
It was instructive to hear both coaches on Thursday as they named their teams. Cotter was asked about Schmidt and Schmidt was asked about Cotter and the differences in their personalities was hilariously evident.
Cotter kept it brief and almost inaudible. That's just the way he's made. Schmidt, meanwhile, spoke at length, almost eulogising the man who brought him to Clermont. It was barnstorming stuff.
"I just found that he was a fantastic foil for me and that we actually enjoyed each other's company and that we offered different things to the team as far as coaching was concerned," said Schmidt.
"I learned so many things from him, just about being decisive, just about trying to grow the key leaders in a team if you're going to have a strong decision-making group on the pitch.
"I just found that he had a real ability to crystallise messages and deliver them. He drives an environment. 'Les yeux de glaces' was his nickname in France - the eyes of ice.
"He didn't have to say too much for you to know he was unhappy. I think that his presence is such that he does certainly drive a group incredibly well.
"You spend a fair bit of time coaching together, you pick things up and you probably don't specifically say, 'Oh, I learned that today'. They just merge as part of your coaching character because you've absorbed lessons from other people. I absorbed a lot from VC."
Cudmore laughs at the mention of 'les yeux de glaces', saying: "Yeah, and you guys call him Stern Vern, right? It's kinda the same thing, really. Vern created that atmosphere where we wanted to out-work the other teams and be difficult to play against while also playing good rugby.
"When Joe came in you could tell that they were different personalities but they were driven in exactly the same way. Joe was a classic teacher and knew how to dissect rugby and pick plays apart and make sure everybody was focused and precise about their role.
"Joe was the good cop to Vern's bad cop. Vern was the sledgehammer and Joe the surgeon's scalpel. Together they were a great combination.
"Some of the sessions were horrific. We went on a training camp to Corsica once. On the second night we went out for dinner and there was a bottle of wine between four people at each table. I don't know if it was a test or not. I'm not sure whether we were supposed to leave it unopened, but we drank it. Couple of glasses each. Nothing major.
"Vern and Joe killed us the next day. The fitness session was brutal. The boys were hanging on for dear life. You'd have thought that we'd lost by 50 points and then gone on a bender. The message was, ' Yeah, fine, let your hair down a little, but don't forget why you're here'. It bred mental strength and it forged a fantastic spirit.

"It was difficult at times. A lot of guys fell by the wayside because they couldn't cut it. With Joe, the devil's in the detail. His attention to detail was unbelievable and it made the difference in 2010 when we won the league.
"We'd come so close so many times before (the previous three finals were lost by nine points, six points and five points) but we kept coming. Those two really strong leaders saw the problems and found the solutions and pulled us forward."
Cudmore is still in France, still at Clermont and still playing, when not injured, despite his 37 years. He is taking some first steps into coaching with his native Canada and says in Cotter and Schmidt he has years of learning at the hands of two masters.
Who's he rooting for at the weekend? "I'm staying out of that one," he laughs.
"All I'll say is that those guys created Clermont as we know it and I'm not surprised in the slightest at Joe's success at Leinster and Ireland and I'm not surprised either that Vern looks to have turned things around with Scotland. You've got two majorly impressive men there."
A reunion, of sorts, is almost upon them.
Anupam Kher wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter that he was not going to play the German dictator in Dear Friend Hitler.
"Sometimes human emotions are more important than cinema," Mr Kher wrote explaining his decision to withdraw.
The project drew protests from Jewish groups in India and outside and was condemned by historians.
Mr Kher withdrew from the project after criticism
Hitler memorabilia 'attracts young Indians'
"Thanks for your varied reactions to my opting out of Hitler. After 400 films in 26 years I have the right to be wrong and still be happy," the actor wrote on Twitter.
In a statement to news agency Reuters, Mr Kher said: "Considering the ill-will that the project is generating among my fans, I wish to withdraw from it as I respect their sentiments."
The project was criticised after director Rakesh Ranjan Kumar said the film would show Hitler's "love" for India.
Mr Kher said he chose Dear Friend Hitler as the film's title because that is how Mahatma Gandhi had referred to Hitler in his letters.
But several historians questioned the claim saying that the German dictator had no respect for Indians and that he regarded them as racially inferior.
Thompson joined Widnes from Canterbury Bulldogs in 2016 and was their leading try scorer in his debut season.
He has not confirmed a deal with a National Rugby League club but will stay at Widnes for the rest of 2017.
The 26-year-old said he had "loved" his time at Widnes but wanted "to be closer to family and friends."
"The Vikings supporters have been brilliant with me during my stay, and I cannot thank them enough for their support," Thompson said.
"To score 27 tries in my debut season here was absolutely fantastic. It is an achievement that I am proud of, and to do it in a Vikings team that recorded the club's best ever position in the Super League made it even better.
"I will continue to give my all for the club for the remainder of 2017 before heading back to Australia for the next stage in my career."
The Brisbane-born winger has scored three tries this season for Widnes who are bottom of Super League after 12 games.
Widnes head coach Denis Betts said: "I would like to wish Corey and his family the best of luck for the future and thank him for his service to the Vikings.
"This is a decision that the club was not expecting. However, this now frees up a quota space for us to utilise and strengthen the squad in 2018.
"I have no doubt that Corey will continue to work hard for this club for the rest of this season." | League Two side Luton Town have signed Crystal Palace midfielder Jake Gray on a two-year contract.

Wales are down to seventh from fifth place after defeats by England and Scotland and could drop to ninth if they lose to Ireland and France.
That would mean a tough draw for the 2019 World Cup with the seedings based on rankings at the end of this season.
"It's not so much the World Cup. The disappointment would be if we finish ninth," said former captain Davies.
"I think Wales should be far higher up the world rankings than that and I think we've been aiming this year to establish ourselves as fourth in the world.
"So if we end up as seventh, eighth or ninth it falls short of where we wanted to be so that's the biggest disappointment, not so much the World Cup."
Wales were ranked outside the top eight for the 2015 tournament draw, when they ended up in the infamous "group of death" with England, Australia and Fiji.
The draw for the 2019 tournament in Japan is being made in May, with Rob Howley's team again facing the risk of a tough pool.
But Davies - a former British and Irish Lions Test fly-half - believes the team can bounce back to win their remaining Six Nations matches in Cardiff and Paris.
"They've got two games Ireland and France left to bring some redemption I suppose," he said.

Meanwhile, Butchart could better his own Scottish record of 13.08.61 in Oregon, with half the field boasting a global medal in track, cross country or road running.
In the women's 800m, Sharp will be hoping to open her account proper. After descending from Flagstaff, a bout of altitude sickness meant she failed to finish last week's race in Eagle Rock, California.
Following a week at sea level, Sharp will take on the formidable South African Caster Semenya - a double Olympic champion who set the season's fastest time of 1.56.61 in Doha earlier this month.

Roy Hodgson's side breezed through their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign with 10 straight wins - but this friendly was a reality check as their flaws were exposed by the reigning champions.
England held out for 72 minutes until Mario scored with a superb acrobatic finish from Cesc Fabregas' cross before Arsenal's Santi Cazorla slotted in a late second.
It was a harsh lesson for England and evidence of the gap they must bridge before France next summer, their misery increasing when Michael Carrick was taken off on a stretcher in stoppage time.
Not very well.
This was a chance for England to make a mark against quality opposition but where was the ambition in manager Roy Hodgson's game plan? If there was any serious attacking ambition - and this was a friendly after all - it was difficult to detect.
England emerged from this friendly, against significantly tougher opposition than any they faced in their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, with little credit.
Spain looked a class above an experimental line-up and at times England looked in awe, sitting back as the passing 'carousel' constructed by players of the pedigree of Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets weaved its way around them.
If England can take something away from this defeat, it is that this was a brutal example of what they need to overcome if they hope to make an impact at the sharp end of next summer's European Championship.
While mistakes may go unpunished against the likes of Lithuania, San Marino and Estonia, there is no margin for error when they face a team of the calibre of Spain.
England's manager is fond of the combinations in his team - and this was surely a chance missed to road test a partnership that could be vital in France next summer.
There was general astonishment when the team-sheet landed and Manchester United duo Chris Smalling and Phil Jones were paired in central defence, meaning Everton's John Stones was absent.
Hodgson appears keen to get Jones into his side in a variety of positions - but he surely cannot be seriously considered as a potential starter in France.
Stones is emerging as a player of genuine class, so it was a puzzle that he was not paired with the rapidly-maturing Smalling in what may well be Hodgson's first-choice selection next summer.
Harry Kane justified his selection up front but the likes of Fabian Delph and Kyle Walker suggested they will be shadow squad men and not much more.
And what a miserable night for Carrick, given the chance to show he can influence England games against opposition of elite standard.
As so often in a strangely disappointing England career, he disappeared into complete anonymity, his misery completed by a late injury.
Spain may not be the side that ruled world football in that golden era between 2008 and 2012 when they claimed the European Championship twice and the World Cup but they still have quality to spare.
When you look at their bench and see David de Gea, Juan Mata, Pedro, Koke and Santi Cazorla - and they were without the injured David Silva, Sergio Ramos, Isco and Juanfran - it speaks eloquently of their class.
One big problem is finding a striker. Chelsea's Diego Costa has yet to make his mark at this level and that struggle continued here.
England host France in a friendly at Wembley on Tuesday, while Spain are away to Belgium on the same day.
England manager Roy Hodgson:
"If you really want to keep your unbeaten record going, playing Spain away isn't one of your best decisions. Especially with so many players unavailable. But it was a game we wanted.
"There are lessons that we have to learn. We played a very strong Spanish team, they deservedly won the game. Our confidence won't be too badly dented.
"We hope we don't take it to heart that we lost to a good team after a good 70 minutes.
"We have to make certain that we learn our lessons from the game but I have no reason to be hyper-critical of the players."
Spain boss Vicente del Bosque:
"I think we have been a bit lucky and we have given a bit more than the England team at the moment.
"This is a good win for Spain. We could say this was a prestige result against an England team who were very strong and very threatening every time they crossed over the line into our half of the pitch.
"We defended well and were strong against a team who were, once again, were very strong and very threatening."

The 10 organisations which make up the award jury said she was courageous and faced harassment because of her work.
Homosexual acts are illegal in Uganda, and can be punished by long jail terms.
In January, her colleague David Kato was murdered not long after suing a paper that outed them both as gay. Police denied the killing was because of his sexuality.
Three months before the murder, Uganda's Rolling Stone newspaper published the photographs of several people it said were gay, including activist Mr Kato, with the headline "Hang them."
The name of Ms Nabagesera, the founder of gay rights organisation Freedom and Roam Uganda, also appeared on the list.
The Geneva-based award jury said Ms Nabagesera had appeared on national television and issued press statements on behalf of Uganda's gay community.
However, because of threats and harassment she now shifted "from house to house, afraid to stay long in the same place", their statement said.
"[She is] an exceptional woman of a rare courage, fighting under death threat for human dignity and the rights of homosexuals and marginalised people in Africa," jury chairman Hans Thoolen said.
In October 2009, an MP introduced a bill that proposed increasing the penalties in Uganda for homosexual acts from 14 years in prison to life.
It also proposed the death penalty for a new offence of "aggravated homosexuality" - defined as when one of the participants is a minor, HIV-positive, disabled or a "serial offender".
The Anti-Homosexuality Bill is yet to be formally debated by the Ugandan parliament.

The Glasgow-based, Eritrea-born 26-year-old secured his place in the 2016 Rio Olympics squad by finishing 12th in Sunday's London Marathon.
"It's one step to get to the Olympics, but I need to train hard to get better," said Tewelde.
"I admire and look up to runners like Mo Farah."
Comparisons with the 2012 Olympic double gold medallist will be made.
Find out about how to get into running with our special guide.
But, unlike Farah, who has a UK-born mother and moved to London from Somalia with his family as a child, Tewelde did not reach Britain until he was 17.
That's when he sought asylum in Edinburgh along with six Eritrea team-mates after the 2008 World Cross Country Championships, the group citing fears about their future safety and being forced into the military.
Tewelde has since been granted British citizenship and will form part of a Scottish trio representing Team GB in the Olympic marathon in Brazil this summer.
He qualified automatically as the second-highest placed Briton in the London Marathon - his first race at the distance - behind Callum Hawkins.
And the latter's brother, Derek, has since been selected as the third member of the team.
Asked what his thoughts were as he lined up beside elite marathon runners in London, Tewelde said: "I was just saying to myself - maybe one day I will be like them and was dreaming of that."
What can he achieve in Rio? "My target is simply to get a better time and result," he said.
"I am just starting and need to build my body and my strength."
Tewelde, who still has relatives and friends back in his homeland, was not keen to talk about the politics behind his original reasons for seeking asylum.
However, he did speak about the landmine incident in war-torn Eritrea that claimed the life of a friend and left Tewelde himself with a large scar on his forehead.
"I was seven or eight years old and I had an accident with a bomb explosion," he recalled.

"I lost a friend. There were four of us and we lost one."
Tewelde had further barriers to overcome once in Britain, including problems with funding and being struck down with a serious lung condition in 2012.
"When I was in hospital, the doctors told me my left lung was not working, but after six months to a year, I was better," he said.
The athlete says the thought of running for Britain kept him going and helped him overcome the illness.
Tewelde, who admits it took him a while to settle into the Scottish culture, now runs for the famous Shettleston Harriers running club.
"They treat me as family," he added. "Life was more easy when I joined Shettleston Harriers and Glasgow is so friendly."
The Magpies are Europe's sixth biggest net spenders in the transfer market, but are 19th in the Premier League.

Analysis: Newcastle short of characters and experience - Jenas
Newcastle have two points from six games going into the visit of Chelsea on Saturday even though McClaren, 54, has strengthened the squad in bid to prevent a repeat of last season's relegation battle.
Midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, forward Aleksandar Mitrovic and winger Florian Thauvin were all signed for £12m or more, while defender Chancel Mbemba joined for a reported £8.4m.
McClaren, who succeeded John Carver as manager in the summer, acknowledged Newcastle were "close to a crisis" following their defeat by the Owls on Wednesday.
The ashleyout.com protest group, which staged a number of demonstrations last season, believe the root of Newcastle's problems is with 51-year-old businessman Ashley rather than the former England manager.
"We have kept quiet as the new manager settles. But in September we watched our club throw away a chance at silverware again," it added.
"We may only be six weeks into the season, but we're eight years into Ashley's tenure."
Ashley said in May he will be staying at St James' Park until Newcastle win a trophy or qualify for the Champions League.
A Cambridge computer scientist cloned iPhone memory chips, allowing him an unlimited number of attempts to guess a passcode.
The work contradicts a claim made by the FBI earlier this year that this approach would not work.
The FBI made the claim as it sought access to San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook's iPhone.
Farook and his wife killed 14 people in the California city last December before police fatally shot them.
The FBI believed his iPhone 5C contained information about collaborators, but its security system prevented easy access.
The agency pressured Apple to give it a software backdoor into the phone, and, when it refused, reportedly paid $1m to a security company to retrieve data from the phone.
Now, Dr Sergei Skorobogatov, from the University of Cambridge computer laboratory, has spent four months building a testing rig to bypass iPhone 5C pin codes.
In a YouTube video, Dr Skorobogatov showed how he had removed a Nand chip from an iPhone 5C - the main memory storage system used on many Apple devices.
He then worked out how the memory system communicated with the phone so he could clone the chip.
And the target phone was modified so its Nand chip sat on an external board and copied versions could be easily plugged in or removed.
In the video, Dr Skorobogatov demonstrated locking an iPhone 5C by trying too many incorrect combinations.
He then removed the Nand chip and substituted a fresh clone, which had its pin attempt counter set at zero, to allow him to keep trying different codes.
"Because I can create as many clones as I want, I can repeat the process many many times until the passcode is found," he said.
Known as Nand mirroring, the technique is one FBI director James Comey said would not work on Farook's phone.
Finding a four-digit code took about 40 hours of work, Dr Skorobogatov said.
And finding a six-digit code could potentially take hundreds of hours
Using a slightly more sophisticated set-up should make it possible to clone memory chips from other iPhones, including more recent models such as the iPhone 6.
However, Dr Skorobogatov said, more information was needed about the way Apple stored data in memory on more recent phones.
The different techniques could make it "more challenging to analyse and copy", he added.
Apple has not responded to a request for comment on Dr Skorobogatov's research.
Susan Landau, on the Lawfare news blog, said the work showed law enforcement agencies should not look for software backdoors to help their investigations but should develop or cultivate hardware and computer security skills.
"Skorobogatov was able to do what the FBI said was impossible," she said.
The victims had gathered on Promenade des Anglais to celebrate Bastille Day when the lorry driver struck them.
It is understood an Irishman is among those who were critically injured.
Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny said the terror attack was an assault on innocent people during an occasion of joy and celebration.
"French people have suffered appallingly and have again been the victim of cynical and wanton violence," he added.
Irish President Michael D Higgins said news of the attack would be "received with revulsion by all those who value democracy".
"This cowardly attack in a public place on a national day of celebration must be condemned in the strongest terms," he added.
"We must strengthen our resolve not to let such cold-blooded attacks undermine the way of life in our global community seeking to live in diversity and peace."
The Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan said the "terrible events" had left him "deeply shocked and saddened".
"I deplore the loss of life, and offer heartfelt condolences to the people of France from the people of Ireland," Mr Flanagan added.
"This attack on people as they celebrated Bastille Day with friends and family on a fine summer's evening is particularly horrendous, and my thoughts and sympathies are with the relatives of the dead and injured."
Mr Flanagan advised anyone affected to "exercise caution and follow the instructions of the local authorities".

It has been sharing a ground with Bishop Auckland FC since the original club went into administration in 2012, forcing it to leave its stadium.
It has now moved to Blackwell Meadows, the home of Darlington Rugby Football Club.
Director Richard Cook said it was a "special moment for us all".
"Being a Darlington boy, born and bred, being a fan of the club all my life, to be involved in actually leading the redevelopment and getting Darlington home has been an amazingly proud moment," he said.
The National League North fixture attracted over 3,000 spectators. The club beat Halifax Town 3-2.
Darlington 1883 was required by the Football Association to change its name to differentiate itself from its old playing entity.
DFC 1883 Limited bought the assets of the former club's holding company through administrators.
The girl was hit by the marked van in Lossiemouth Road, Elgin, at about 18:50 on Saturday. She is being treated at the Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital.
Police Scotland said the van had been on routine patrol at the time.
In a statement, the girl's family said: "Our 11-year-old daughter is now in a stable condition and is up and moving and out of bed."
They added: "We appreciate all the good wishes and support from everyone and the most important thing for us right now is to concentrate on our little girl's recovery.
"We would request that the media respect our privacy to allow us to deal with what has happened."
The girl suffered serious injuries and was initially treated at Dr Gray's Hospital, Elgin, before being airlifted to the Aberdeen hospital.
The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) is carrying out an investigation into the circumstances of the incident.
Danielle Jones was last seen in June 2001. Stuart Campbell, 59, an uncle of the teenager, was jailed for life for her abduction and murder in 2002.
Police erected a cordon around 20 garages in Stifford Clays, Thurrock, with one "the focus" of the search.
Although work continues, police said they were "confident" Danielle's body was not in the main plot.
It was excavated on Tuesday.

Live: For more on this and other Essex stories
Essex Police said work would continue on the site to establish whether any further excavation was required at any of the other plots.
Assistant Chief Constable Steve Worron said: "A thorough search was conducted on the base which formed the focus of our work yesterday and I am confident that Danielle's body is not there.
"I am however committed to ensuring that we satisfy ourselves before leaving the area that there is nothing concealed under any of the bases indicated within the information received in February.
"Danielle's family have been updated on this development and we continue to work with them.
"This case is not closed.
"It will remain open until Danielle's body is found and she is returned to her family.
"The one person who knows where her body is still refuses to tell police or her family. Stuart Campbell could end the last 16 years of pain for Linda and Tony and tell them where their daughter is."
On Monday, Essex Police confirmed a "non specific" lead about the garages between Goddard Road and Crammavill Street had been passed to them in 2001.
However, despite this, the garages were not searched at the time.
Danielle was last seen at a bus stop near her home in East Tilbury on 18 June 2001.
Campbell, a builder and father-of-two, was told he would serve at least 20 years of his life sentence for murder.
He will be eligible for parole in four years' time.
The 34m-long walkway (113ft) links Castle Green to Goodland Gardens near the museum in Taunton, Somerset.
Unless it is kept clean, debris builds up between the panels and could lead to them breaking.
The cost of washing the bridge is about £10,000 a year and now council leaders are considering spending £11,000 on permanent repairs.
Norman Cavill, who is responsible for Taunton Deane Borough Council's economic development, said the jet washing has to be done because of the bridge's design.
He said: "Although some power washing was expected, it was certainly not expected that in between the glass and the edge so much detritus could build up and require a weekly wash.
"With the grit and the slight movement of some of the panes, they can delaminate which will then cause them to crack and look unsightly.
"Eventually they would fail, but they're a long way from ever letting anybody drop through them."
Permanent repairs involving the installation of spacers and silicone sealant to protect the glass will cost almost £24,000.
Just over half the cost will be paid for by contractor Britannia Construction.
Mr Cavill added: "For £11,000 Taunton Deane tax payers can improve the design and that should do away with the feature of jet washing."
The idea is due to be discussed at a council meeting later and it is hoped work will begin early next year.
The bridge won an award for engineering excellence last year.
The deadline for medicine, dentistry, veterinary science and Oxbridge passed on October 15 with EU applications down 9%, says admissions body Ucas.
The figures follow warnings that European student numbers could crash in the wake of June's Brexit vote.
A government guarantee on EU student funding came on 11 October - four days before the application deadline.
Applications from EU students for these very selective courses were down 620 on last year at 6,240 - ending a recent trend for annual increases.
However the number of UK students rose 3% to 39,440 and applications from outside the EU rose by 1%, the figures show.
European students currently pay the same fees and have the same access to loans as UK students - but the vote to leave the EU left those considering courses starting in 2017 and 2018 unsure whether this would hold for the full duration of their courses.
The government's announcement may have come too close to the deadline to reassure them, university leaders suggest.
Nicola Dandridge, chief executive of the vice-chancellors' group, Universities UK, said the applications window opened on 6 September, "but the government guarantee on fees and financial support for EU students for 2017 entry was not provided until 11 October, only days before the deadline."
She urged the government to extend these transitional arrangements for courses starting in 2018, as prospective European students would soon be starting to consider whether to apply to UK universities.
"Only a small percentage of applicants apply by this date and we must wait until the main January deadline before we see the full picture for this application cycle. We know that demand from overseas for UK university courses remains strong due to the high quality of British universities.
"This fall does, however, highlight the importance of ensuring that prospective European applicants are made fully aware of the fees and financial support arrangements well in advance of the applications window. It is important also that we make clear that European students continue to be welcome in coming to the UK to study."
Ucas Chief Executive Mary Curnock Cook called the overall increase in applications "encouraging... particularly given the 2% decrease in the 18-year-old population".
Ms Cook said Ucas would be watching numbers of EU applications in the run-up to the main January deadline for university courses starting next year, "especially now that the government has confirmed arrangements for continuing access to student loans for 2017 courses."
A government spokesman said: "International students make an important contribution to the UK's world-class universities.
"It is too early in the application cycle to predict reliable trends, but the overall increase in applicant numbers is positive - and suggests even more students will be able to benefit from higher education next year."
The British Medical Association said the decline in applications for medicine from European students was particularly worrying.
"The government should be focusing on creating a health service that can both attract and retain the doctors it needs to deliver the best possible care for patients," said Dr Charlie Bell, co-chair of the BMA's medical student committee.

Barnet carried an early threat from set-pieces, and central defender Bira Dembele twice went close in quick succession, forcing a save from goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler at his near post before heading another Curtis Weston corner just wide.
Shrewsbury took the lead in the 27th minute when defender Sadler reacted quickest to turn in the rebound after Jim O'Brien's 20-yard free-kick came back off the crossbar.
The League One side doubled their advantage five minutes later as Leitch-Smith headed in a left-wing cross from strike partner Ivan Toney.
Leitch-Smith was then denied by a sharp save low to his left from goalkeeper Jamie Stephens, but Grimmer made the game safe.
Shrewsbury boss Paul Hurst: "A clean sheet is something we've not had and a win at home - and just a win generally.
"I thought they started off a little nervous in truth, but particularly when we went 2-0 up I thought suddenly you saw a different set of players, or some of them certainly, and looked a threat."
"When you're a team that hasn't won for so long, I think we have to be very pleased.
"We're not getting carried away but enjoy today and hopefully we'll have more of those feelings as we move forward."
Barnet manager Martin Allen: "We started very well and had several good chances to take the lead but they didn't get converted and then on their first attack they score, so that was particularly disappointing.
"It looked like every time they went forward they did score, whereas we dominated the game without keeping too much possession.
"The game was played more often than not in their half but we weren't able to convert chances.
"I thought the players had a good committed performance but we certainly were lacking in the final third."

Pte Cheryl James, 18, was found shot dead at Deepcut Barracks in 1995 - amid claims of bullying and abuse.
The army said the bullet wound to her head was self-inflicted, but in 1995 a coroner recorded an open verdict.
A fresh inquest is taking place after Surrey Police were forced to disclose new evidence.
Alison Foster QC, representing the James family, said a Surrey Police officer questioned the suicide theory because of the way the body of Pte James, from Denbighshire, was found.
But a childhood friend of Pte James told the hearing she hated the Army and had not wanted to return after her last visit home.
"She just wanted to go Awol," Lydia Baksh told the inquest.
Ms Foster read a statement to the court, made in 2002 by the police officer who reviewed Pte James's death.
She said: "There was no exit wound, the apparent lack of blood on the ground, the way in which the hood of [her] waterproof jacket was covering the face... any one of these indicators would not cause suspicion... but taken together, they ask questions about the way and the manner of Private James's death."
Des James, the soldier's father, told the inquest this evidence confirmed suspicions he and his wife had at the time.
"We were never informed about this and given all the complaints and challenges we made, Surrey Police had many opportunities," he said.
The coroner was also told there was concern about the "thoroughness of the inquiries" made by Surrey Police about an "unknown male" who was seen around the time of Pte James's death.
Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events
"Surrey Police came to my home to review the case. They told me about what [the private] said, that she was going off into the woods and she said she was going to be fine," he said.
"You can't just be laughing and joking one minute, then go into the woods and [commit suicide]."
Mr James said he felt his daughter had been involved in an argument before she died.
The court was told there were three potential suspects around the time Pte James died, including two "unknown males".
Ms Baksh said her school friend was happy and bubbly, but revealed she had come to hate life in the Army.
"All I can recall is that she was reprimanded a lot," she said.
"The last time she came home she was quite tearful. She just hated the Army, she didn't want to go back in."
Ms Baksh said Pte James had said she had been raped aged 13 or 14 after meeting boys at a party.
"She didn't speak about it much, but after that it really affected her," Ms Baksh told the coroner's court in Woking.
She was also asked about an incident of self-harming by Pte James.
Ms Baksh said: "I can't remember what she did on her arm. It was nothing serious... I guess she was just trying to deal with what she's trying to go through, in a way.
"It was definitely after the rape occurred but it wasn't with the intent to kill herself."
John Beggs QC, representing Surrey Police, asked her about a statement she made when she found out about Pte James's death.
"I was extremely upset, but not in the least bit surprised," Miss Baksh said.
She told the hearing at the time of her friend's death she thought she had killed herself.
"However, now, I wouldn't say I felt certain," she said.
Last month, jihadist group Islamic State (IS) claimed that Abdelmalek Boutalliss had blown himself up in Iraq.
Originally from the Belgian city of Kortrijk, he had been preparing for his exams when he told his mother, "Don't expect me for dinner".
The next day he sent her a photo from Turkey of him with his best friend, saying he was heading to Syria.
One of hundreds of young Belgians lured by IS to Syria and Iraq, he was given the nom de guerre Abu Nusaybah al-Baljiki. His family are Berbers, an ethnic group from North Africa.
Idriss Boutalliss followed his son to Syria twice, in a desperate attempt to bring him back.
On the second occasion, after a 10-day search, he finally managed to meet him near Raqqa - the self-proclaimed capital of IS.
Abdelmalek refused to leave, telling his father that he would be jailed immediately if he returned to Belgium.
"I spoke to the police and they assured me if you return you will not go to prison," his father told him. But the teenager said he was lying.
At around the same time, in July 2014, Belgian researcher Montasser Alde'emeh spent three weeks in Syria trying to understand what made so many young people from Belgium go there.
"There are about 500 Belgian jihadis [in Syria and Iraq]," he said. "About 70 of them have been killed."
On his return, he set up a centre aiming to counter extremism and convince Belgians in Syria and Iraq to come home.
That was how he came into contact with Abdelmalek Boutalliss, who had put his name down on a list of willing suicide bombers.
These lists can reportedly be found in jihadist training camps.
During a series of conversations via the Whatsapp instant messaging service, the Belgian academic tried to change the teenager's mind, urging him to think what effect it would have on his mother.
This WhatsApp conversation originally took place in Dutch. It has been shortened and edited by the BBC.
Montasser Alde'emeh: You should not do that. Remove your name from the list of suicide bombers.
Abdelmalek: Allah willing, I will carry out a "martyrdom operation"
Montasser: Do not blow yourself up, brother. Do not do it. Can't you imagine how sad your parents will be?
Abdelmalek: You are still looking for the truth, unlike me. I found the truth. I kept searching in Belgium and found it.
Montasser: I hate that you are doing that. Don't you realise to what extent I care about you?
Abdelmalek: I don't care. My path to paradise is not in your hands. Whatever you say, I won't listen.
Montasser: Your parents are still Muslims and they want you to return.
Abdelmalek: If they are real believers they should come here.
Many young European men have been lured by IS via the internet but Abdelmalek Boutalliss was recruited locally in Belgium.
His mother, Najat, said he had begun to show interest in Islam when a teacher began asking him about the religion.
At that point he started visiting a local mosque and his family thinks he was recruited there by a jihadist who had previously fought in Syria.
Young Muslims are still being radicalised in Belgium.
Observers believe they feel alienated from society and angered by Western involvement in Syria.
Since October, the number of Belgian jihadists has risen by 39, according to Belgian expert Pieter Van Ostaeyen.
Last month, 130 people died in co-ordinated attacks claimed by IS on a concert hall, cafes, restaurants and a stadium in Paris.
Several Belgian jihadists took part in the atrocities and the suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud came from the Brussels district of Molenbeek.
Three days before the attacks, on 10 November, IS militants announced that the Belgian teenager they had dubbed Abu Nusaybah al-Baljiki had carried out a suicide attack in Haditha in western Iraq.
IS said he had destroyed three Iraqi military vehicles and killed everyone inside. Iraqi officials insisted his attack had been foiled and he blew himself up some distance from the vehicles.
Whether or not Abdelmalek Boutallis committed murder in western Iraq, his mother Najat still refuses to believe he is dead.
Laura Kiseliova, 36, and Raimondas Titas, 35, from Greater Manchester, admitted offences relating to hundreds of dogs and cats.
They include fraud and failing to protect animals from suffering.
Manchester Crown Court heard 41 dogs and eight cats were found in a raid at the pair's former home in Prestwich. They are due to be sentenced in July.
Kiseliova and Titas failed to tell buyers the puppies were not bred in the UK and tried to restrict consumer rights, the court heard.
The pair also admitted abusing the pet passport scheme, which is believed to have been used to bring the dogs to the UK as domestic pets from eastern Europe.
The court heard the couple failed to protect animals from suffering and made false insurance claims relating to a dog that died. Dogs were also not given veterinary treatment for injuries.
They were prosecuted after a joint investigation involving Bury and Salford City Council and the RSPCA.
Salford City Council said its trading standards officers were alerted to the couple after dogs were stopped at ports in Kent twice and a vet found a Salford puppy with an eastern European microchip.
People who bought puppies with animal welfare issues also complained to authorities.
The pair pleaded guilty to offences under the Fraud Act, Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, the Companies Act 2006 and the Animal Welfare Act.
When the house the couple previously shared in Prestwich was raided in November 2013 RSPCA inspectors found animals including French bulldogs, bulldogs and pugs as well as pedigree cats in a variety of cages, crates and runs.
The RSPCA's Ian Briggs said: "It was obvious that this duo were dealing and trading in a large number of animals and that many of them were not receiving the appropriate care and veterinary attention they needed.
"Some of the animals were suffering from problems such as conjunctivitis, gastroenteritis or had sore and infected wounds."
Mr Briggs said most of the animals were signed over into RSPCA care and later rehomed.
The 42-year-old from Birmingham has been recognised for his services to broadcasting.
As well as Citizen Khan, which was first broadcast in 2012, he has also been a presenter on BBC Asian Network.
Mr Ray said he wanted to dedicate the honour to his parents for their support which enabled him to follow his dreams.
"They, like many immigrant families, came to Britain with dreams of their own and I feel very fortunate that with the help of many supportive people around me I have been able to follow mine.
"At a time when the future of Britain is under discussion and yet again immigration is top of the agenda honours like this remind us that we all have a part to play and have something to contribute to Great Britain.
"Now, if you'll excuse me I just need to go and explain to Mr Khan why he's been overlooked."
The incident happened on Ellon Road, Bridge of Don, at about 22:30 on Saturday.
The man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where his condition has been described as critical.
The road was closed for a number of hours while an investigation was carried out.

The Chinese central government released a white paper on Tuesday reiterating that the "one country, two systems" practice in Hong Kong was "a basic state policy".
The former British colony became a special administrative region of China in 1997, when Britain's 99-year lease of the New Territories, north of Hong Kong island, expired.
Hong Kong is governed under the principle of "one country, two systems", under which China has agreed to give the region a high degree of autonomy and to preserve its economic and social systems for 50 years from the date of the handover.
However, the white paper says the Beijing government has "comprehensive jurisdiction" over Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).
"As a unitary state, China's central government has comprehensive jurisdiction over all local administrative regions, including the HKSAR," it adds.
Supporting the white paper, the People's Daily reminds that "patriotism to the country" should be important for Hong Kong's residents.
"Hong Kong can maintain prosperity and stability for a long time only when the policy of 'one-country, two systems' is fully understood and implemented," it says.
The Global Times' Chinese edition warns that the central government will not allow chaos in Hong Kong and it has "a lot of resources and leverage" to prevent such situation to take place.
"The oppositions in Hong Kong should understand and accept that Hong Kong is not an independent country. They should not think that they have the ability to turn Hong Kong into Ukraine or Thailand," it says.
Meanwhile, media outlets in Hong Kong are less optimistic over the state of democracy and political freedom.
The South China Morning Post notes that the white paper was released about two weeks before pro-democracy Occupy Central activists hold an unofficial referendum on options for the Chief Executive election in 2017.
The organiser of Occupy Central, Benny Tai Yiu-ting, tells the daily that Beijing is "trying to scare Hong Kongers into silence".
The Ming Pao daily says that the "one-country two-system" concept has become an "empty shell" and Hong Kong is likely to turn into an "ordinary Chinese city".
"Hong Kong has arrived at a historical turning point once again, but this time we are unable to see any positive element in it. Negative points are too many to record. The situation is worrying," it says.
Elsewhere, papers support China's decision to distribute a document outlining its historical claims in the South China Sea region at the UN.
Wang Xiaopeng, maritime expert with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, tells the Xinhua News agency that Vietnam had sent similar documents to the UN and China has only "reciprocated". 　　
"This is also to show countries such as the US, Japan and the Philippines that they have no opportunity to take advantage of the dispute between China and Vietnam," he says.

A New York Times report over the weekend described a demanding and degrading environment at Amazon.
Amazon's boss Jeff Bezos wrote in a memo to staff that the "article doesn't describe the Amazon I know".
The New York Times article quoted one former employee who said: "Nearly every person I worked with, I saw cry at their desk."
The report included testimonials from 100 current and former employees who depict a "bruising" workplace at Amazon, where employees are expected to "toil long and late".
Some claimed the company edged out workers who were suffering from personal crises, including miscarriages and cancer.
The article also said that the culture calls for employees to respond to emails after midnight. If they don't, they receive text messages demanding a swift response.
A press representative for Amazon said: "While we generally do not comment on individual news stories, we quickly saw current Amazon employees react."
He pointed to an article from Nick Ciubotariu, a current employee who said he never saw anyone cry in the office.
Mr Ciubotariu, head of infrastructure development, Amazon.com Search Experience, refuted many of the article's claims on the professional networking website, LinkedIn.
He wrote: "No one tells me to work nights. No one makes me answer emails at night. No one texts me to ask me why emails aren't answered."
In Mr Bezos' memo, he encouraged Amazon employees to read the article, and email him directly if they recognised any of the "shockingly callous management practices" it described.
He wrote of the article: "It claims that our intentional approach is to create a soulless, dystopian workplace where no fun is had and no laughter heard. Again, I don't recognize this Amazon and I very much hope you don't, either."
Mr Bezos pointed out that the company depicted in the article could not survive in the "highly competitive tech hiring market".
He wrote: "The people we hire here are the best of the best. You are recruited every day by other world-class companies, and you can work anywhere you want."
The 42-year-old had been in charge at Gigg Lane for almost three years and led the Shakers to promotion from League Two in 2015.
But Flitcroft's side, beaten 5-0 in the FA Cup first-round replay at AFC Wimbledon in his last match on Tuesday, had lost seven league games in a row.
Assistant boss Ben Futcher has also left, with Bury 16th in the third tier.
Following Tuesday's heavy defeat at fellow League One side AFC Wimbledon, former Shakers midfielder Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester that he would work hard to try and turn the club's fortunes around.
"I'm hurting, the fans are hurting and I understand that," he said. "That hurt makes me ever more determined to put it right for them."

Flitcroft succeeded Kevin Blackwell as Bury manager in December 2013, having been sacked as Barnsley boss less than a fortnight earlier.
He led the Shakers from the bottom of League Two to a mid-table finish in his first season in charge, before guiding them to third place and promotion in the following campaign.
Bury ended last season in 16th place in League One and Flitcroft was named the division's manager of the month in September this season.
Flitcroft becomes the second manager in League One to leave this week, after Charlton parted company with Russell Slade on Monday.
Bury said they would make a further statement on Thursday.
Kingfisher shares were the worst performer on the London stock market in early trade, falling more than 6%.
In the first three months of the year sales dropped 0.6% in stores open for at least 12 months.
Sales in its French chains Castorama and Brico Depot fell 5.5%. The firm is cautious about future prospects there.
However, sales at its UK Screwfix business surged 12.6%, or by 20.3% when newly opened stores were included.
Total group sales, including those at newly opened stores, were up 5% to £2.86bn.
In January 2016 Kingfisher chief executive Veronique Laury announced a five-year plan that aimed to increase profits by £500m.
That plan will cost £800m to deliver, including a revamp of its IT and online presence.
Announcing the latest results, Ms Laury said: "We remain confident in the size of the prize and our ability to deliver our long-term plan.
"Strong performance in Screwfix and Poland continues, though performance in France remains weak.
"In addition, we are experiencing some business disruption given the volume of change, as we clear old ranges, remerchandise new ranges and continue the roll out of our unified IT platform."
The 28-year-old is set to move to Craven Cottage for an initial fee of £1m and up to £1m in add-ons.
"The club have accepted a bid from Fulham and Richard is discussing personal terms over the weekend," Wolves boss Kenny Jackett said.
"It is a football decision and we feel that we have some very good young centre-backs at the club."
Stearman has spent seven years at Wolves, having joined for an undisclosed fee from Leicester in the summer of 2008.
Since then he has played 234 times for Wanderers, as well as a four-month loan spell at Ipswich Town in 2013.
"Richard is a big call and for us to strengthen elsewhere we do feel that this is the right decision," added Jackett, who says he is also willing to let Dutch winger Rajiv van La Parra leave Molineux.
"Rajiv van La Parra is also in talks with two clubs over the weekend and we will see what the outcome of those talks is.
"We want to make these decisions early so we have the best possible chance going forward."
Meanwhile, striker Nouha Dicko could have suffered a serious knee injury in Saturday's 2-1 win over Charlton. He was stretchered off just after an hour.
"First impressions from the medical staff are that it seems like a serious knee injury. But we will assess it over the weekend," Jackett said.
Swansea council noise abatement officials spent more than 12 months investigating the "wailing sounds", which - once a month - start before dawn and go on into the early morning.
Their inquiries led them to the Vale Europe nickel refinery in Clydach.
The refinery said it was drills of their emergency evacuation procedure.
Residents in the Townhill area of Swansea had described the noise as similar to the air raid sirens which sounded over the city during the Blitz 76 years ago, and said it had been distressing elderly people in particular.
Debbie Leyshon, from Townhill, said: "Everyone around here has heard it, it sounds just like a siren you hear in the war films.
"My mother rung really panicking, asking whether she should run or not, because the sound is extremely scary."
A Vale Europe spokeswoman said: "We have legal obligations to test our various alarms and emergency practices regularly.
"We keep the test times as brief as possible to minimise any noise issue for the public, but undertaking such testing is an important safety activity."
Katy Bourne was accused of making a false statement about her expenses while serving as the PCC.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it was "unlikely" to have affected the Sussex PCC election.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said there was no case to answer.
Ms Bourne has been cleared of wrongdoing following an investigation into a Facebook post made during the campaign for the 2016 election.
In a report released earlier, the IPCC said: "It is the investigator's opinion that there is evidence to suggest Mrs Bourne posted her comment to social media in order to influence the outcome of the election on 5 May 2016.
"It is highly unlikely that her Facebook comment regarding expenses would have been seen by an audience sufficiently large and had to have made sufficient impact on the voters."
The complaint was then referred to the CPS to see if a criminal offence had been committed. It decided not to prosecute Ms Bourne.
Ms Bourne said: "I was always confident that the facts would speak for themselves and I am pleased the Crown Prosecution Service has determined there is no case to answer."
Dave Watson, from Worcestershire, was badly hurt when he stepped on a roadside bomb in 2010.
He had the surgery to avoid having to wear sockets with his prosthetic legs.
Clive Smith, another Afghanistan veteran, said he will remortgage his home to pay for the operation, despite an NHS trial starting in April.
Chancellor George Osborne announced in his Autumn Statement the trial - known as Direct Skeletal Fixation or osseo-integration - would be funded by money collected from banking fines, with 20 veterans set to benefit.
The operations will be carried out at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, with rehabilitation continuing at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court.
Despite the upcoming trial, Mr Watson, from Romsley, said he had "no doubts" about paying for the procedure because the sockets for his prosthetics were causing him too much pain.
"It got to the stage where I couldn't wear them anymore," he said.
"They were breaking my scar tissue down, I was stuck in a chair for a year, and I just needed something so I could get out and make myself my own person."
Mr Watson said his life had "changed completely" since having the operation, and he is now able to hold his daughter without pain.
He is now looking forward to marrying his fiancee on New Year's Eve without being in a wheelchair or suffering pain from his old sockets.
Clive Smith, from Pelsall, Walsall, in the West Midlands, also lost his legs after stepping on an explosive in Afghanistan five years ago.
He had surgery in June, and has been wheelchair-bound while waiting for new prosthetics.
Despite the osseo-integration trial starting next year, he said he is prepared to pay about £85,000 to have his operation earlier, and has booked his flights to Australia for next month.
"My standpoint is that I feel vindicated we've managed to get a trial happening, but unfortunately for myself it's too long a timescale to keep my life on hold," Mr Smith, who is originally from Cannock, Staffordshire, said.
"I've been confined to a wheelchair for about 12 months, this trial runs for over two-and-a-half years, and there's no guarantee I would be selected, so I didn't want to take a chance."
The 30-year-old has been with the Dingwall club since leaving Partick Thistle in 2008.
But he has not played at all this season and has only made three appearances since December.
Boyd, who started his career with Livingston, becomes Killie boss Lee Clark's 16th signing this summer.
Mr Trump has called this free trade agreement between the US, Canada and Mexico a jobs "killer" and a "disaster", and pledged to repeal it.
But in April, he pulled back and agreed to discuss "modernising" the North America Free Trade Agreement.
Talks between the three countries about overhauling the pact start in Washington on Wednesday.
Mr Trump has maintained his rhetoric against Nafta, blaming it for the country's large trade deficit with Mexico, and suggesting US manufacturing jobs have been lost across the border.
However, Canada and Mexico argue for updating the pact and business has lobbied in favour of an arrangement which now covers $1tn worth of trade across North America in a broad range of industries from dairy to automobiles.
Nafta, which came into effect in 1994, lowered tariffs for most traded goods and services and established rules covering food safety, intellectual property rights and dispute settlements.
Since the deal was signed, trade between the three countries has more than tripled.
Political ties between the three countries have also strengthened.
Apart from Mr Trump's long-touted push for a better overall deal for the US, there are a number of specific areas which will be on the negotiating table.
All three countries have said they plan to revisit labour and environmental rules.
They have also said they are focused on updating the agreement to capture changes due to online businesses and other technology advances.
The talks will unfold over several rounds, rotating from Washington to cities in the other two countries.
Negotiators will be under pressure to conclude before the issue can become a political football during election cycles.
In the US, Mr Trump will want to claim a new deal as a political victory before mid-term elections in 2018.
And there is a general election due in Mexico in July 2018.
The deal has been a boon for US industries such as agriculture, but Mr Trump blames Nafta for a decline in US manufacturing jobs. (Others say automation and opening trade with China had a bigger impact).
In July, US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said the administration is focused on changes that will reduce the trade deficit, or imbalance between imports and exports. That means the US importing less from its neighbours, especially Mexico, or boosting US exports.
The US said it would push for greater access to the Canadian market for US dairy, wine, grain and other products.
It has also said it wants to tighten rules that identify where items come from. That's drawn opposition from groups such as the automobile industry, whose supply chains now involve moving raw materials and parts across multiple borders throughout the Nafta area.
The US may also seek to strengthen its hand to promote American goods for "Buy America" government programmes.
Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland has said Nafta has benefited the Canadian economy, making it 2.5% larger annually than it would otherwise be.
She described the talks this week as an opportunity "to make what is already a good agreement, even better".
Ms Freeland said Canada wants to make the agreement more progressive, by addressing labour, environment, gender and indigenous rights, among other items.
"If we get this right, the working people of all three countries will benefit," she said.
Mexico says Nafta has helped its manufacturing plants and agricultural sector become more globally competitive.
Negotiators say they would raise issues that include easing and clarifying migration rules for seasonal workers, better border infrastructure and greater integration of telecom markets.

Callum Booth curled in the opener with a fine free-kick after 16 minutes after Darren O'Dea downed Kris Doolan.
Doolan pounced to score shortly before the break after goalkeeper Scott Bain could only block a Chris Erskine drive.
Dundee had more possession after the break, but they could not prevent Thistle leapfrogging them.
Thistle's second home league victory of the season ended Dundee's run of three wins in a row at Firhill.
The opening 15 minutes passed by without too much incident, but when Doolan tumbled to the ground on the edge of the visitors' 18-yard box, referee Alan Muir decided to award the home side a free-kick.
Despite the protests from Dundee captain O'Dea, the decision stood and Booth curled a left-foot shot around the defensive wall with Bain rooted to his goalline.
Thistle looked slick going forward and Erskine brought out a save from Bain as Alan Archibald's side continued to dominate.
A minute before the break, their advantage was doubled when Bain once again foiled Erskine, but on this occasion, Doolan followed up to knock the ball home.
Extending the contract of Ryan Edwards until the end of next season is proving to be a shrewd piece of business by Thistle.
The 23-year-old once again was the dominant character for the Jags, leaving the Dundee midfield in his wake.
His energy throughout the game was evident and his game-reading in being able to pick up second balls was a joy to watch.
By always making himself available, there was always a threat on the Dundee goal and his darting runs across the pitch brought the home support to their feet.
When any team loses the goalscoring prowess of players such as Greg Stewart and Kane Hemmings without ready-made replacements, you know they are in trouble.
Manager Paul Hartley brought in Faissal El Bakhtaoui in the summer and Marcus Haber in October, but they have been unable to emulate the two departures.
Haber had two long-range headers in the second-half, but it was a fairly simple evening in Maryhill for home goalkeeper Tomas Cerny.
Only Kilmarnock have scored fewer goals this season than Dundee and, unless the strikers find their scoring boots quickly, another bottom-six spot, or even worse, could await the Dens Park side as they head towards 2017.
Partick Thistle's Alan Archibald: "Its good to look at the table. I have said before when we lost games don't be down about it and we wont get too high about it either.
"It gives us a massive incentive for the weekend against Kilmarnock. Another home game that we have to capitalise on.
"The two teams matched up with similar shapes and personnel. It can get a bit scrappy but we knew we had good creative players on the pitch with the bit of quality to give us goals. I thought we managed the game very well."
Dundee's Paul Hartley: "It's disappointing to lose the game in that manner. I didn't feel there was a lot in the game between both sides.
"I think the crucial part of the game was they took their chances and they punished us. Kosta [Kostadin Gadzhalov] makes the tackle [for the first goal] and wins the ball cleanly. We had that back at Celtic Park two weeks ago and also got punished so two good tackles, I think nowadays you just cant tackle. We ask defenders to stay on their feet but if they win the ball they win the ball.
"It's been difficult [scoring goals] but Haber has done well since coming in. He has been an excellent addition for us but we need everyone else helping."

As part of essential work to repair Durley Lane bridge, the A4 Keynsham bypass will be shut from midnight to 06:00 BST on Sunday.
A council spokesman said the bypass was closing to allow the installation of a new contraflow.
"Essential repair work" to re-waterproof the deck began on 16 March.
A council spokesman said the contraflow would "allow full access" to the eastbound side of the dual carriageway for the re-waterproofing works, following completion of the westbound side.
The contraflows are expected to be in place for six weeks - three weeks per side - and there will be a signposted diversion through Keynsham.
The council warned that a further night closure would be required to remove the contraflow at the end of the works by the end of May.
But who was the Army officer whose parents are now locked in public battle with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump?
Khan was born in 1976 and his Pakistani family immigrated to the US two years later.
They settled in Silver Spring, Maryland, where Humayun grew up with two brothers.
His father has described him as a patriotic child with a fascination for Thomas Jefferson, one of America's founders.
While in secondary school, Humayun volunteered to give swimming lessons to disabled children.
After joining the University of Virginia, he signed up for the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, which prepares university students to become officers in the US military.
His father, who is a lawyer, was opposed to the move. But the younger Khan persisted.
"He wanted to give back. That's what he wanted to do," his father told the Washington Post.
After graduating from university in 2000, he served in the Army for four years and rose to the rank of captain.
Before terrorists attacked New York and Washington in 2001, he had planned to leave the Army to attend law school.
But 9/11 changed his plans, and in 2004 he travelled to Iraq to support the post-war effort there.
During a phone call in May of 2004, his mother urged him not to be a hero and to return safely.
"Of course I will," his parents remembered him saying. "But Mother, you should know I have responsibility for these soldiers, and I cannot leave them unprotected."
A month later, Khan, 27, was dead.
While serving at Baqubah base, north-east of Baghdad, one of his duties was to inspect soldiers in the early morning near the compound's entrance gate.
On 8 June 2004, an inspection turned deadly when a taxi sped towards Khan's line of troops.
Acting quickly, he told his soldiers to step back and hit the ground as he moved towards the approaching car. He walked with his arm outstretched in a halt gesture for 10 to 15 seconds.
Just before reaching him, the driver detonated a suicide bomb.
The explosion killed Khan. But in blocking the vehicle, he succeeded in saving countless colleagues, including more than a hundred soldiers eating breakfast close to the gateway to the base.
Khan was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star - two US military honours.
He was buried in Arlington Cemetery, near Washington, in a funeral attended by Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
It was thought that the Chilcot inquiry into the run-up to the 2003 invasion and its aftermath might report once hearings ended in 2011.
But more than three years later, there is still no sign of it, amid disputes over the release of some documents.
Mr Hague told MPs he had no say in it but hoped it would be released "in the not too distant future".
The leader of the House of Commons was quizzed about it by Conservative MP Keith Simpson, who asked if it would be published "this side of the general election" adding "or is it going to be like the case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce in Dickens - something that we will expect in about 50 years time?"
Earlier this year Lord Owen warned that if it was not published by February 2015, it might have to be delayed until after the general election to prevent it becoming too politicised.
Mr Hague told MPs: "I'm not in control of the timing of the release of the report. Certainly ministers hope it will be available in the not too distant future.
"You will recall that in 2006 I was, from the opposition benches, moving motions calling for such an inquiry that were resisted for two years... but we were opposed by (Labour) in setting up an inquiry.
"Had they agreed to it then, that inquiry would have reported long ago. "Personally I certainly hope it reports before the general election, but I'm not in control of that."
The inquiry held 18 months of public hearings between the end of 2009 and early 2011.
It examined the background to the war, the conduct of military operations, post-war planning and the UK's role in post-war security and governance until British troops left in 2009.
Those giving evidence included Mr Blair and his successor Gordon Brown, senior Cabinet ministers during their governments, military commanders and diplomats.
The inquiry also met the families of some of the one hundred and seventy-nine British troops who were killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2009.
The bodies of Sakine Cansiz and two others were found on Thursday.
France and Turkey both condemned the killings.
The motive for the shootings is unclear. Some 40,000 people have died in the 25-year conflict between the Turkish state and the PKK.
However, Turkey has recently begun talks with the jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, with the aim of persuading the group to disarm.
By Guney YildizBBC Turkish
It is the first time that such a senior member of the PKK has been killed in Europe. There has been a tacit agreement between the PKK and the Turkish government that no such high-profile attacks would be carried out against either senior PKK members or senior members of the government.
During the 1980s, there were some attacks believed to be from within the Turkish state against members of the militant Armenian group Asala, but there have been no political assassinations targeting the PKK.
The Paris killings come against the backdrop of fresh peace talks between jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan and the Turkish government. Those talks have not been easy and have opponents on both sides.
The Turkish government says the previous round of peace talks was derailed because of a clash between Turkish soldiers and the PKK in June 2011.
Thursday's killings will make the current negotiations even more difficult, no matter who might be behind the attack.
French President Francois Hollande described the killings as "horrible", while Interior Minister Manuel Valls said they were "surely an execution".
"Rest assured that French authorities are determined to get to the bottom of these intolerable acts," he said.
"I condemn this violence," Turkish government spokesman Bulent Arinc told reporters. "This is utterly wrong. I express my condolences."
The BBC's James Reynolds in Turkey says two rival theories have emerged about the killings.
The deputy chairman of the ruling party, Husein Celik, said that the killings appeared to be the result of an internal Kurdish feud.
The theory was later picked up by other officials and commentators in the Turkish media, who suggested that PKK factions opposed to the talks were to blame.
But Kurdish activists said the killings were carried out by forces in the Turkish state itself who wanted to derail the talks.
Our correspondent says that in Turkey many believe that there is a so-called "deep state" - a powerful nationalistic establishment which seeks to undermine the work of democratic governments and activists.
The three women were last seen inside the information centre on Wednesday afternoon. Later, a member of the Kurdish community tried to visit the centre but found the doors were locked.
Their bodies - all three bearing gunshot wounds - were found in the early hours on Thursday.
One of them was Sakine Cansiz, who was detained and tortured in Turkey in the 1980s, and was close to Ocalan.
A second woman has been named as Fidan Dogan, 32, who worked in the information centre. She was also the Paris representative of the Brussels-based Kurdistan National Congress.
The third, named as Leyla Soylemez, was a young activist.
Hundreds of members of the Kurdish community demonstrated outside the information centre as Mr Valls arrived.
Mr Valls said the French authorities were determined to "shed light on this act".
"In this neighbourhood, in this Kurdish information centre, in the 10th arrondissement [district] where many Kurds live, I also came to express my sympathy to the relatives and close friends of these three women," he said.
A representative of the Federation of Kurdish Assocations in France (Feyka), Leon Edart, told the French BFM news channel that there were no CCTV cameras in the office.
The PKK took up arms in 1984, and demands greater autonomy for Turkey's Kurds, who are thought to comprise up to 20% of the population.
It is regarded by Turkey, the US and European Union as a terrorist organisation, because of its attacks on Turkish security forces and civilians.
In 2012 it stepped up its attacks, leading to the fiercest fighting in decades, but violence has subsided during the winter.
The Hay Festival had accused the governor of failing to protect freedom of expression and of inaction over violence against journalists.
It said 300 writers around the world had called for the cancellation.
Veracruz is one of the states in Mexico most affected by organised crime and violence against journalists.
In January, Moises Sanchez became the 15th journalist to be killed or to disappear in the state since 2010.
The decapitated body of the activist and journalist from Medellin de Bravo was found three weeks after he was kidnapped from his home by armed men.
A prosecutor said a former police officer confessed to taking part in Mr Sanchez's murder on orders from a local mayor.
The Hay Festival called for Mr Duarte to tackle the violence against journalists.
"Since Mr Duarte started in government in 2010 in Veracruz eleven journalists have been murdered and four more have disappeared," it said in a statement.
"A festival of culture and freedom like the Hay Festival cannot take place in an environment of violence against culture and freedom."
But Veracruz Governor Duarte de Ochoa defended Xalapa, saying it was less dangerous than some other sites where the Hay Festival takes place. He cited Beirut, claiming that "violence there was not comparable with rates in Veracruz".
He also said he would ensure a festival did take place in Xalapa so that the local economy did not suffer, though he did not give details.
The Hay Festival says it will hold its event online in October.
Ujjal Singh, 63, who was visiting from Ipswich, died from a knife wound to the neck after he was found in Lidiard Street, Crumpsall, on 1 December.
He had argued with Naunihal Singh, 54, who was visiting from India, about their respective son and daughter's ability to conceive, police said.
At Manchester Crown Court Naunihal Singh was jailed for 21 years.
He was told he must serve at least 17 years.
Police said on 30 November the pair had a "heated discussion, which was fuelled by alcohol" and Ujjal Singh accused Naunihal Singh's son of "firing blanks".
During a series of arguments, Naunihal's son punched a glass photo frame, injuring his hand.
Ujjal Singh was put to bed while the remaining family members, with the exception of Naunihal Singh, went to hospital to get the hand treated.
While Ujjal Singh was sleeping, Naunihal Singh went into his room and stabbed him in the neck.
Police said he then fled, leaving the family to discover the "horrific scene" when they returned.
He handed himself into police two days later.
Senior investigating officer Bob Tonge, said it was a "heinous crime" that "ended in absolute tragedy".
"The one saving grace is that he has not subjected them to further torment by making them endure a trial and has faced up to his crime and subsequent, inevitable punishment."
John-Hugh and Adam MacKintosh and Tom, Hugh and John Cameron left crofting communities in Sutherland to fight in France.
Only Adam and Tom survived the war, but returned home badly wounded.
The men's letters and journals helped Adam's relative Shona MacLeod to write the book with Dr Robin Reid.
A retired doctor with a long-standing interest in history, Dr Reid traced the brothers' journey from the Highlands to the trenches of France by researching written material, including the Regimental Diary of the 1st Battalion of the 5th Seaforths and the History of the 51st Highland Division.
The men's personal items, including a diary Adam wrote while a prisoner of war, were in a box kept by Adam's wife, Daisy.
Daisy was the sister of John Cameron, who died saving Adam's life at Beaumont-Hamel, a fortified village that was the scene of ferocious fighting.
Ms MacLeod, who studied history at the University of Glasgow, said: "As all these men are related to me, following their journeys was an enormously humbling experience.
"In their letters home from the trenches they would even ask how the harvest was coming on 'with men and horses so scarce'.
"Of the five, only two, Adam and Tom, returned from the war, and both had been badly wounded with injuries which affected the rest of their lives.
"The three others, John and Hugh Cameron and John-Hugh McIntosh, all died in France."
She added: "While the sources have huge personal value, they also have significant historical value, because of what they reveal about Scotland's relationship with the Great War.
"Narratives of prisoner of war accounts are rare before the Second World War.
"My great-grandfather's POW diary is a valuable source not only because of its rarity but because, unlike other sources such as letters and post cards, it gives an uncensored account of his eight months as a prisoner and, unlike memoirs, it was written at the time."
Stories in the book, The Permanence of the Young Men - Five Seaforth Highlanders, include Adam being shot in the war and the bullet remaining lodged in his head until the day he died.
Kiernan was sent off in the 3-2 defeat of St Johnstone on 1 March for a tackle on striker Graham Cummins.
After the Ibrox club lodged an appeal, the 26-year-old was allowed to play in Saturday's 6-0 Scottish Cup quarter-final win over Hamilton Academical.
But the claim of wrongful dismissal for serious foul play has been dismissed.

The Irish defender will also miss the Premiership match against Hamilton at Ibrox on 18 March.
Peaty, 22, who became Britain's first male Olympic swimming champion for 28 years in Rio, took the British 100m breaststroke title in 57.79 seconds.
"This is what I race for, to win and I'm pleased with that time," he told BBC Sport.
Peaty gave away his British gold medal to a young fan in the crowd.
"Hopefully that lad will look at the medal and it will make him think, 'If I train harder, I can be out there too' and then he'll be here competing one day," said the Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth champion.

Ross Murdoch should also be at the Budapest World Championships in July after finishing second in one minute flat.
In addition to Peaty and Murdoch, Rio Olympians James Guy and Stephen Milne (400m freestyle), Hannah Miley and Aimee Willmott (400m individual medley) all recorded times which will put them in contention for selection for the Worlds.
Peaty says he now wants to chase "legendary" status and lower the world record of 57.13 he set at the Rio Olympics.
"Me and my coach [Mel Marshall] have set this target, it's called 'project 56' and that's the aim, to keep going quicker and winning every race."
Guy - who missed out on individual honours at Rio 2016, but won two silver medals as part of the men's relay teams - took the men's 400m freestyle title.
Fellow Olympians Chris Walker-Hebborn (50m backstroke) and Hannah Miley (400m individual medley) retained their respective crowns, while 17-year-old Imogen Clark claimed her first GB title with victory in the 50m breaststroke in a British record of 30.21 secs.
Defending 200m freestyle champion Jazz Carlin was a surprise third in an event won by Ellie Faulkner in a personal best time of one minute 57.88 secs.
Welsh swimmer Carlin - who won Rio Olympic silver medals in the 400m and 800m freestyle events - will return for the 800m competition on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old will join the club two years after pulling out of a spell with them because of a back injury.
Anderson, who has played 13 Tests, 44 ODIs and 29 T20 games, said "I'm excited to finally get the opportunity to play for such a distinguished club."
In 2014 he set a new record for the fastest ODI century, reaching his ton from 36 balls against West Indies.
However, that record was surpassed just over a year later when South Africa's AB de Villiers brought up three figures from only 31 balls against the same opposition.
Anderson will be available for the entire T20 Blast campaign, starting with Somerset's opening game against Surrey at The Oval on 9 July.
Director of cricket Matt Maynard said: "He's an exciting player and a very talented cricketer who strikes the ball exceptionally well.
"It was a shame that he couldn't play for us a few years ago but I have no doubt that he will show the supporters that it was worth the wait."
Joseph Jakubowski, 32, was found camping on a farm in southern Wisconsin and taken into custody early on Friday, police say.
Police feared that he was planning an attack after he allegedly broke into a gun store and made off with 18 weapons.
The governor had cancelled the state's Easter event, due to safety concerns.
But after the news of his detention, Governor Scott Walker reinstated the Easter Egg Hunt.
The manhunt began on 4 April in Janesville, Wisconsin - about 70 miles southwest of Milwaukee - after the suspect allegedly broke into the Armageddon Supplies gun shop and stole the guns and two silencers.
His burned-out car was found nearby soon after.
During the search, a mobile phone video was posted online claiming to show Jakubowski mailing a 161-page conspiracy-laced manifesto to the White House.
The manifesto, which was obtained by WTMJ-TV, features lines such as: "Revolution. It's time for change."
In the document, he writes that he is not afraid to die and that: "I choose my death to be carried out by the hands of the president! The leader of the people! Not in secret either! On live TV."
He also made threats against religious institutions, officials say, causing places of worship and schools to increase their security during the search.
He has so far been charged with three serious crimes.

A disturbance was reported at Welwyn Road, Hinckley at about 21:30 GMT on Tuesday.
Detectives believe the deceased to be David Stokes, 43, and his sons Adam, 11, and Matthew, aged five.
An injured woman, who left the house in the early hours and is being treated in hospital, has been locally identified as 44-year-old Sally Stokes.
Trained police negotiators were deployed to the house following concerned calls from neighbours.
After Mrs Stokes left and was being given first aid, officers searched the house and found the bodies of a man and two children.
The causes of death are not yet known but detectives are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
One neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said: "They were very nice people."
Det Ch Supt David Sandall of Leicestershire Police said trained negotiators spoke to the man and woman at the address for several hours.
He said: "In the early hours of this morning the officers gained access to the property following a female who left the address with injuries.
"Officers provided first aid to the female, she remains in a stable condition in the hospital.
"At that time, [other] officers entered the address, they found a male who was pronounced dead within the address.
"Tragically, and very traumatically, the officers on searching the address have also found two deceased children.
"I'm appealing to anybody who knows any information about what occurred last night in the address or anybody who can… tell us about what happened within this family leading to these tragic circumstances."
At the scene - Jeremy Ball for East Midlands Today
It has hit people really hard here [in Welwyn Road]. Just after we arrived we saw one woman on the street in tears.
The question is why did these three people lose their lives?
We still don't know how they died, or what their injuries were. We won't know until we get the results of a post-mortem examination.
Arrangements have been made for a candlelit vigil in Hinckley tomorrow afternoon.
The two boys attended St Mary's CE primary school, and the head teacher, Rachel Ayres, said: "Everyone is devastated by the tragic news about our pupils, Adam and Matthew, and our sincere sympathies are with their family and friends."
She said special assemblies will be held to support the children at the school.
As officers had been in contact with both the man and the woman during the evening, Leicestershire Police has informed the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
It works with a Windows phone and uses location and navigation data with a network of information beacons in urban locations to describe routes.
The headset was tested on a journey from Reading to London, including shopping, bus and train travel.
The charity Guide Dogs, which helped develop the technology, said it could help improve lives.
Of the two million registered visually impaired people in the UK, 180,000 rarely or never go out, according to the charity.
"People living with sight loss face a multitude of challenges every day that can prevent them from getting where they want to be in life," explained Jenny Cook, head of strategy and research at Guide Dogs.
"Currently, visiting a new city is often daunting, even for people with enough confidence to tackle the challenge independently. For others, who rarely leave home alone, the thought of an unfamiliar journey leaves them stressed and anxious and visiting a new area is an impossible dream."
The BBC's technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones tested out the headset.
Before trying out Microsoft's headset I put on a blindfold, picked up a white stick and went for a short walk along London's Grand Union Canal.
All the way, I was being helped by a tutor from the Guide Dogs organisation - but even so I found it an exhausting and disorientating experience. That gave me some context for when I used the experimental audio system on the trial route in Reading.
At first I found it distracting rather than helpful, a clippety-clop sound echoing around my head plus a repeated ping to say I was on track. But as I hesitantly made my way down a residential street, across a road and to a bus stop, the instructions - "parked cars and overhanging trees ahead" - gave me added confidence and the 3D sound provided me with a somewhat better feel for my surroundings.
For me it was all about feeling a little less scared - but for the visually impaired people who have been testing the technology for some weeks, it seemed to have increased their confidence in taking new routes up to a new level.
The headset is an adapted version of one already on the market. Designed for cyclists, it sits in front of the ear so as not to drown out traffic and environmental noise.
Sound is conducted through the jawbone and the headset gives a series of verbal and non-verbal descriptions.
For someone who has requested a specific route, it will make a series of clicking noises to assure them they are on the right course and it will provide specific instructions such as "turn right".
It also provides information about the route and points of interest.
Eight people with sight loss have tested the headset and five of those reported feeling safer and more confident wearing it.
Kirstie Grice, one of those to trial the technology, said: "We want to live like normal people. We don't always want to plan ahead to see if we can get community transport or a taxi or something, we want to be able to just jump on a bus and go somewhere and have that freedom."
The idea for the headset, which has been designed in partnership with the UK's Future Cities catapult and Guide Dogs, came from a Microsoft employee.
Amos Miller is visually impaired and realised that technology might be able to help him "enjoy everyday experiences outside of the home" after his daughter was born.
Some experts have questioned if the technology is capable of being rolled out widely as it is to rely on a network of beacons attached to street furniture.
A Microsoft spokesman said: "A lot of the information comes from GPS and annotated maps in the cloud which provide as much, if not more than, the beacons."
Watching his demeanour on set between takes left him, he says, feeling disturbed.
"He seemed cold, odd. I just felt uncomfortable."
As an adult, Mr Davies interviewed Savile again and again. He knew there was something dark about him but he did not know what.
Thirty-five years after that first encounter, he published what is the most comprehensive account of Savile's life and crimes. And yet he had been as surprised as anyone when the flood of revelations about him emerged two years before.
How did Savile get away with it?
In 1971, a 15-year-old girl was found dead. She was known to her friends as Samantha. In the papers she was called Claire McAlpine where she was described as a "dolly dancer" on Top of the Pops.
The death, from an overdose of sleeping pills, was front page news. Just before, her mother had contacted the BBC to complain that a DJ had seduced her.
In her diary she is said to have described seeing two DJs. Savile was not suspected of sleeping with her but the inquiry was described by Dame Janet Smith as "wholly inadequate" - more concerned about protecting the reputation of the BBC than getting at the truth.
In a separate inquiry, Savile admitted to the bosses at Radio One that their suspicions were right. He had been taking girls - 14 year olds - back to his flat from Top of the Pops but only because they did not have a place to stay for the night. Doreen Davies, a former Radio One executive, said it seemed to be entirely plausible - kind hearted.
Dame Janet Smith says the BBC failed to investigate the "warning signs" adequately. She does not believe that senior managers knew about Jimmy Savile but she certainly thinks there was a corporate failure to take the issue of protecting young people.
What's perhaps even more surprising is that when there were front page stories about Top of the Pops in the 1970s, the BBC's Board of Management were pleased that Savile went to the papers to discuss life behind the scenes at Top of the Pops.
In the interview, he describes how it was like a high class discotheque and that, yes, he did go on dates but he only visited homes when parents were present. He was approaching 50 at the time.
Dame Janet Smith accepts that attitudes towards older men having relationships with young girls has changed but adds that it is not an excuse for the BBC.
Canon David Winter is a former head of religious broadcasting for the BBC. He has written a shelf of books on theology. He was also Savile's boss.
In the 1970s, Savile presented a programme called Speakeasy. He brought a large youth audience and was happy to do programmes on moral and ethical issues.
Savile, Canon Winter said, would in private "go on about girls" and so one day he questioned how this squared with the DJ's "professed Roman Catholic faith". Savile said it was simple, he would get in to heaven because of his charity work.
So did Canon Winter think Savile was abusing young girls? He didn't. He thought it was bluster - the invention of an odd mother-obsessed loner. He suspected he was gay. He also adds he and his colleagues were probably "deluded by celebrity".
The Dame Janet Smith report is filled with similar stories.
Savile did not spend time with colleagues, he didn't even in the 70s give the BBC a phone number. The head of Radio One's press office, Rodney Collins, rang Leeds General Infirmary's porters office if he wanted to get hold of him.
Some, however, suspected the truth. Wilfred De'Ath was a BBC radio producer in the 1960s. Since then his life has had many ups and downs. He has lost touch with his family, become homeless and had a spell in prison for theft.
But back in the early 60s his lifestyle was rather more orderly and he made a programme called Teenscene. One day he decided he would interview Savile. Savile agreed, so long as they could meet first in a restaurant on London's Edgware Road. When De'Ath arrived he found Savile with a young girl. "Prepubescent", he says.
Afterwards he spoke again to Savile and asked if he wasn't "living dangerously". That was, he says, as brave as he got. The idea of reporting the incident was he feels "out of the question - it wasn't a moral issue". Savile was daring him to say something knowing that he could deny everything. He was, he says, also "physically intimidating".
It is something that appears again and again in the report. Staff are said to have received complaints from victims and done nothing. Some 117 people gave evidence saying they had heard rumours or seen things that were inappropriate but did not report them.
The culture, Dame Janet says, was to turn a "blind eye" - especially towards stars.
With Stuart Hall she goes much further, naming two senior managers who she says should have done more. It wasn't just a matter of missing a few "warning signs".
And today? Dame Janet says "whistle-blowing" is now easier but says many of the same fears about the consequences still exist.
George Elwood Tschaggeny, 51, was found wearing the wedding ring of one of the victims, Ricky Best, police say.
Mr Best, 53, was killed when he intervened to protect two young women from anti-Muslim abuse last week.
His ring and backpack were stolen after the stabbing on Tuesday.
Mr Tschaggeny has been charged with theft, tampering with evidence, and abuse of a corpse. He is due in court on Monday.
Mr Best, an army veteran, and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, 23, have been hailed as heroes for their actions.
The pair intervened to protect two young women, one of whom was wearing a hijab, from a man shouting abuse at them.
Jeremy Joseph Christian, 35, is accused of stabbing both men, as well as another victim who survived.
The news that someone had stolen belongings from Mr Best prompted an outcry and an appeal from police to help recovering the items.
Police department spokesman Pete Simpson had tweeted: "Find this man Portland. This family has already suffered too much pain."
Police said they received "numerous tips" about a man matching the suspect's description, including one from a pizza restaurant employee who directed them to where he was staying.
Police also recovered Mr Best's missing backpack, but his wallet and phone were missing.
Earlier in the week, the accused in the stabbing incident, Jeremy Joseph Christian, appeared in court charged with murder, attempted murder, possession of a weapon and intimidation.
During a brief court appearance on Tuesday, he made no plea, but shouted slogans such as: "You call it terrorism. I call it patriotism" and "death to the enemies of America".
He is due to appear in court again on 7 June.
London, who finished second to Rovers in the Championship's regular season, opened the scoring through Andy Ackers.
Danny Addy, Kieren Moss, Robbie Mulhern and Ryan Shaw then went over to put the hosts 25-8 up at the break.

Brendan Boland was sexually abused by Fr Brendan Smyth in the 1970s.
An inquiry heard this week that police in Dublin were aware of Smyth's activities as far back as 1973, more than 20 years before he was convicted.
Mr Boland also said an apology to abuse survivors from a senior member of the Catholic church was "weak and feeble".
Smyth was a notorious child abuser, and was at the centre of one of the first clerical abuse scandals to hit the Catholic church in Ireland.
Details emerged at Northern Ireland's Historical Instutional Abuse (HIA) inquiry on Wednesday that gardaí (Irish police) were aware that a psychiatric hospital had diagnosed Smyth as "suffering from paedophilia".
But he was not jailed until the 1990s, when he was convicted of more than 100 indecent assaults against children, in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, over a 40-year period.
Mr Boland said the revelation that police knew of Smyth's offending was "shocking".
"[Gardaí] are equally as responsible as the Catholic church because they chose not to prosecute him," he told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster programme.
"And if they had prosecuted him back then I would never have met him, so I'd never have been abused in the first place.
"I can't imagine what my life would've been like now. I don't think it'll ever leave me."
The retired Cardinal Seán Brady, the former head of the Catholic church in Ireland, appeared at the inquiry on Thursday and apologised to those affected by Smyth's actions.
He had been involved in a 1975 internal church inquiry into the priest's activities.
Mr Boland, who was 14 at the time, reported the abuse to the then Fr Brady, and was interviewed about his allegations.
Mr Boland was made to sign an oath of secrecy at the time, and police were never informed of the abuse.
Cardinal Brady's apology to Smyth's victims was "a last-ditch attempt to save his face and the face of the Catholic church", Mr Boland said.
He added that the senior cleric had made an attempt to contact him previously to apologise, but that it was to be "under his conditions".
"If I had have went I would've felt like a little boy again being scrutinised in his environment," he said.
"I refused to go."
With Tehran keen to exploit every drop of propaganda from the scientist's alleged kidnap by CIA agents, more revelations are inevitable.
But so far, there are two contradictory narratives about the man, both told in his own words.
In a video message broadcast on Iranian state media on 8 June, a man claiming to be Mr Amiri said he was abducted by US and Saudi agents during a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia in 2009.
"They took me to a house located somewhere that I didn't know. They gave me an anaesthetic injection," the man said in the video.
He said he was living in Tucson, Arizona, and said he had been subjected to eight months of "the most severe tortures and psychological pressures".
He described himself as an "expert and researcher" at Malek Ashtar University, but claimed that the US had wanted him to pretend he had stolen nuclear secrets.
This is the version Iranian officials have pushed, and Tehran claims to have passed on to the US evidence that he was abducted.
This is also the version Mr Amiri has now repeated in interviews with Iranian state media.
But another video message appeared on YouTube on the same day as the first, recorded apparently by the same man, entirely contradicting that version of events.
In the second video, he said he was in the US to continue his education, adding: "I am free here and I assure everyone that I am safe."
He said he was "not involved in weapons research and have no experience and knowledge in this field".
Malek Ashtar University has long been alleged to have a role in a nuclear weapons programme and on 9 June, the day after Mr Amiri's initial videos emerged, the university was put under UN sanctions.
Other reports have muddied the waters still further, variously claiming that Mr Amiri had defected to the West and helped the CIA, or that he had actually been employed by Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation.
Reports from the US quote unnamed officials and security sources as saying Mr Amiri was a low-ranking technician who had defected and provided the US with useful corroborative evidence of Iran's nuclear programme.
According to these sources, Mr Amiri was put into a witness-protection programme, but became concerned for his family in Iran and, after suffering a breakdown, decided to return to his home country.
Mr Amiri showed up at the Iranian section of the Pakistan embassy in Washington on 13 June and demanded to be returned to Iran.
The Pakistani foreign ministry confirmed to the BBC that he had taken refuge at their embassy - the first time non-Iranian officials had confirmed any details about Mr Amiri.
Later, the US also acknowledged his presence - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying he was in the country "of his own free will" and was free to leave.
After months of flat denials from the state department that they had any information about Mr Amiri, department spokesman Philip Crowley revealed that he had been in the country "for some time", and the government had "maintained contact with him".
On 14 July, Iranian officials said he had finally left the US and was on his way back to Iran.
Mr Amiri has promised to clarify all of the allegations made about him when he returns.
"When I am hopefully in my dear country Iran, I can speak to the media and my own people with ease of mind, and tell them about my ordeal over the past 14 months, incidents that have been a mystery to many," state media quoted him as saying.
Tendulkar and Amit Mishra looked to be batting India towards safety as they frustrated England with a partnership of 144 at The Oval.
But Mishra was bowled by Graeme Swann (6-106) for 84 and Tendulkar, who had ridden his luck to reach 91, was out to a marginal lbw decision in the following over.
India's remaining batsmen were skittled in quick succession as England stormed to victory by an innings and eight runs - their seventh innings triumph in 13 Tests - midway through the afternoon session on the final day.
Just about every individual in the England team, at some stage, has done something that has really mattered
When they finally broke the Mishra-Tendulkar partnership, England were ruthless, claiming India's last seven wickets for 21 runs in 94 balls, with Swann finally making his mark on the series with a spell of four wickets for seven runs.
It was England's first whitewash over India since 1974 and completed a memorable series in which Andrew Strauss's men usurped the visitors as the top-ranked Test side in the world.
"We had to work pretty hard for that," England captain Andrew Strauss told BBC Radio's Test Match Special. "When you enforce the follow-on, you're always asking a lot of the bowlers especially on a flat wicket. They stuck at it. To bowl India out for 300 and 283 on that wicket is quite a performance."
After India resumed their second innings on 129-3 - still 162 runs adrift of England - Tendulkar got his score ticking over with a four off the second ball of the day and reached his 61st Test fifty off 74 balls.
Nightwatchman Mishra, who had served notice of his batting ability with a breezy 43 in the first innings, started to find the boundary with regularity, taking the partnership past fifty with a flick to the midwicket fence.
Tendulkar played and missed twice in a Broad over as he got bogged down in the fifties, but he eventually broke the shackles with a trademark drive through the covers for a boundary.
With Tendulkar edging closer to his hundred, the air of expectancy grew around The Oval, as a vast Indian contingent cheered his every run.
But the pressure seemed to weigh heavily on the 38-year-old's shoulders as he offered England a string of chances.
First, Alastair Cook at short leg just failed to hold on to a sharp bat-pad chance off Swann, then Matt Prior dropped a tricky caught-behind chance off the spinner, who also had a close lbw appeal turned down.
Mishra had equalled his highest first-class score with his 10th boundary when he finally succumbed in the 41st over of the day, bowled by a quicker ball from Swann that fizzed past his outside edge.
Tendulkar's show-stopping demise arrived in the following over when he played across a Bresnan delivery and was given out by Rod Tucker, with replays suggesting the ball would have clipped the top of leg stump.
With the "Little Master" back in the pavilion, India seemed to lose their stomach for the fight as England's bowlers ruthlessly finished off the match.
Suresh Raina was trapped on the crease by Swann before MS Dhoni and RP Singh were both caught off edges in the same over from Stuart Broad.
Gautam Gambhir sliced to backward point and last man Sreesanth was clean bowled after missing a huge leg-side heave off Swann.
After the match, England were presented with the ICC Test Mace to mark their status as the world's number one side.

Current holders Riders are on a 15-game winning run and have won the last 15 meetings between the sides.
Raiders are in transition, searching for their first silverware since winning the competition in 2007.
"Of course they're going to feel the pressure - they know what they're up against," Barber Jr told BBC Sport.

"We're hungry. I like being the underdog - it's fine, it's perfect."
Though Plymouth have a wretched record against their opponents, American Barber Jr, 31, had success against Leicester last season for former club Sheffield, who beat them to the 2015-16 BBL Championship.
"I feel people are trying to make UK basketball bigger, like with the BBC Sport coverage - I think that's huge," added Barber Jr.
"I'm here to do the impossible. I see what we're doing mentally and I feel that us believing it and knowing we could win, is what's going to help us win."
The final is being held in Glasgow on Sunday alongside the women's equivalent, which Riders are also competing in, with both games being shown live on the BBC Sport website.
Leicester have lifted silverware in three of the past four seasons and sit top of the league table, while Raiders are down in sixth.
"We have played 28 games this season so far and have won 25," said Riders head coach Rob Paternostro.
"It will be a little different when we get there with the bright lights and atmosphere, but when the ball is tipped it will be pretty similar.
"We have a lot of guys who have played in these type of games before in our league and around the world. It's all about the day, and who comes up big when the lights are on."
Deputy Mayor for Transport Isabel Dedring said discussions were at an early stage but "we would be keen for trials to happen".
The battery-operated vehicles use a system of lasers, radar and cameras to detect objects around them in order to complete journeys.
Google is understood to be focused on testing only in the US at present.
The project, which began in 2009, has seen the vehicles clock up more than 1.4 million miles at test tracks in California and Texas.
At a future of transport event Ms Dedring said that while she was "personally a bit sceptical about the technology", driverless cars could makes roads safer and reduce transport costs.
This week Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin announced the government would invest £20m in driverless car projects in the UK, saying the technology would "profoundly change the way we travel within years".
Trials of the cars have not gone without problems with developers still trying to improve how the vehicles interact with other road users.
A report published by the California Department of Motor Vehicles detailed a collision with another car which left a Google test driver in hospital.
Tasked with saving £3.8m by 2020, Cheshire Fire Service wants to change staffing arrangements and reduce one of its three aerial appliances.
The FBU says the changes will mean full-time firefighters are replaced with on-call staff and that incident response times will increase.
Managers insist they will "continue to deliver a high quality service".
Under proposals scheduled to be implemented in April, staffing arrangements will be changed at stations in Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Birchwood and Penketh.
Andrew Fox-Hewitt, from FBU Cheshire, said: "If you cut the number of full-time firefighters and appliances, you will see an increase in attendance times.
"This will ultimately lead to an increase in preventable injuries and deaths."
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said the service was "exceeding" its response targets and it has continued to recruit on-call firefighters - taking on a further 18 whole-time firefighters last year.
"We aim to get to all 'life risk' incidents, namely road traffic collisions or house fires, where there is a person reported as being in the property within 10 minutes on 80% of occasions - a target we are currently exceeding by 8%."
It said its average response time to such incidents is under eight minutes which has "remained the same for the past five years".
The service said it has kept its pledge of making no firefighters redundant, instead the reduction in full-time posts has happened naturally, as people have left or retired.
But, a water tower, the site of a World War Two anti-aircraft gun and the home of a shrunken head collector are three which have been added.
Historic England (HE), formerly English Heritage, compiles the annual UK-wide list and award funding for repairs.
Its figures show that 43% of Yorkshire sites have been removed from the register, up from a target of 25%.
Tammy Whitaker, of HE, said that was an "amazing achievement" for the county.
Across England, 604 sites were removed and 324 were added. Ms Whitaker said in Yorkshire 36 sites were removed and 19 added.
Sheffield's non-conformist chapel at the General Cemetery was classed as no longer at risk.
"The very things that make our region special are the things most at risk," she said. "If they're lost, then a sense of that region is lost too."
Bramham Biggin, an 18th-century manor house in Leeds, Wressle Castle in East Yorkshire which was once owned by Henry VIII, the 14th-century Ayton Castle near Scarborough in North Yorkshire, and Pontefract Castle in West Yorkshire have all been removed from Historic England's list.
The body awards and organises tens of thousands of pounds in grants.
Walkington anti-aircraft gun site, added to the register this year, was built in 1941 in a chain of East Coast defences to protect Hull and Yorkshire from air raids.
Places in West Yorkshire also off the at-risk list, include Blacker Hall in Wakefield, Dalton Mills in Keighley and Illingworth Gaol.
In East Yorkshire, Flamborough Castle with its prominent chalk ruins has been offered an HE grant.
In North Yorkshire, a management scheme is planned for the Howardian Hills while a six-year scheme to repair sites on the North York Moors National Park has just ended. Proposals to restore Whorlton Castle's gatehouse have collapsed.
Police say the pair - a Hindu and a Muslim - slit their own throats after their parents had refused to let them marry because of different religions.
They were found in a pool of blood, and are now said to be in a stable condition.
Marriage outside religion or caste still attracts censure, and even honour killings, in parts of India.
"The girl cut her throat first followed by the boy," said deputy superintendent Aseem Chaudhary, the AFP news agency reports.
The Times of India quoted the young man as saying that the couple had tried to convince their parents to change their minds, but that "the boundaries of religion remained the biggest hurdle".
"We did this after failing at all possible ways to be together," he said.

The one-time IRA commander went from the riots of the Bogside in Londonderry during the 1970s, to the very heart of government.
He became one of Sinn Féin's two ministers in the first power-sharing deal that followed the Good Friday Agreement.
In the Stormont Assembly election of May 2007, he was elected deputy first minister, with the Democratic Unionist Party leader Ian Paisley as first minister.
Many people were surprised at how well the two leaders appeared to get on.
They were labelled the "Chuckle Brothers" as a result of being frequently photographed laughing and smiling together.
Martin McGuinness stood down temporarily as deputy first minister to contest the Irish presidential election in 2011, when his IRA past received much attention in the media.
He came third in the election in which he was the only candidate who, as a non-resident, was ineligible to vote.
In 2008, he went to Baghdad to share his knowledge of peace-making.
In recent years, Martin McGuinness insisted his job had become a political one.
"My war is over. My job as a political leader is to prevent that war and I feel very passionate about it," he said.
"I want to build a better future for all our people. It is a political project, not a military one."
In 2008, McGuinness and Ian Paisley's successor Peter Robinson were nominated as first and deputy first minister.
Their relationship was less amicable than the one between McGuinness and Paisley, who died in September 2014.
The following year, Robinson and McGuinness became embroiled in controversy over the £1.2bn sale by Nama of its Northern Ireland property loans portfolio to US firm Cerberus.
In January 2016, Arlene Foster took over from Robinson as first minister of Northern Ireland.
In an interview a month later, Foster spoke of the difficulties she experienced with the deputy first minister, because of his graveside oration at the funeral of the man who, she believes, tried to kill her father.
Despite this - and the fact that the pair were on opposing sides of the subsequent Brexit vote, Mr McGuinness and Mrs Foster managed to forge a positive working relationship since they began sharing the OFMDFM portfolio.
In December, Mrs Foster insisted she had "nothing to hide" over the RHI scandal and refused to step down, but pressure mounted on Sinn Féin to act.
Last week, Martin McGuinness said that Mrs Foster should step aside as first minister to "allow a time-framed, comprehensive, independent investigation" into the RHI scheme. She refused.
On Monday, Mr McGuinness announced he would resign in protest at the DUP's handling of the crisis.
The series will see the comedian introduce gifted youngsters aged three to 13 - but, unlike with other talent shows, there is no competitive element.
It was the most-watched new programme on US TV in the 2015-16 season.
Meanwhile, ITV has revealed that Harry Hill will return to present a panel show featuring two teams tasked with saving Earth from an alien invasion.
In Harry Hill's Alien Fun Capsule, contestants will have to find "clips, people, basically anything that is fun or funny" to present to aliens in the event of an invasion "to demonstrate Earthlings are good fun and therefore worthy of saving".
Hill said: "It's great to be back on ITV with an all new format that finally tackles the problem of an imminent and prolonged war with space aliens, by proving to them that us humans are really a lot of fun to hang out with!"
The zany comic has fronted shows including TV Burp, You've Been Framed and Stars in Their Eyes for ITV in the past.
The two new productions were announced at the Edinburgh TV Festival.
Little Big Shots will not be Dawn French's first time on a talent show - she was a judge on ITV's Superstar in 2012 and on Australia's Got Talent the following year.
She has recently been filming a four-part drama titled Delicious for Sky1.
In a statement about her new hosting job, the Vicar of Dibley star said: "Rarely have I relished the thought of doing a show as much as this.
"I love love love everything about it, especially the fact that I will get to witness the amazing talents of these remarkable little humans up close. It's going to be a privilege."
In the US, Little Big Shots is hosted by Steve Harvey on NBC.
ITV also announced on Friday at the Edinburgh Television Festival it had commissioned a second series of its crime thriller Marcella, starring Anna Friel.

He gave his first in-person explanation of the FBI chief's dismissal during a surprise meeting with Henry Kissinger.
The president has said he fired Mr Comey over his handling of the inquiry into Hillary Clinton's emails.
But Mr Comey reportedly asked for more money for his inquiry into Russia's alleged meddling in the US election, according to US media.
Days before his removal, he made the request to Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who recommended Mr Comey's dismissal to the president, according to leaks.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Wednesday the president had "been considering letting Director Comey go since the day he was elected".
She added there had been "an erosion of confidence" over the last several months.
Mr Comey's dismissal has shocked Washington and outraged Democrats.
The sacking "raises profound questions about whether the White House is brazenly interfering in a criminal matter," said Adam Schiff, who is the highest ranked Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
But the president stood by his actions on Wednesday morning, hours before a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov - his first with any Russian official since taking power.
"James Comey will be replaced by someone who will do a far better job, bringing back the spirit and prestige of the FBI," he said in early morning tweets.
"Comey lost the confidence of almost everyone in Washington, Republican and Democrat alike. When things calm down, they will be thanking me!" he added.
It is only the second time the head of the FBI has been fired.
Russian President Vladimir Putin weighed in from a hockey rink in Sochi, saying: "We have nothing to do with that".
"President Trump is acting in according with his competence and in accordance with his law and constitution," he told CBS.
Meanwhile, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he will request a closed and "if necessary, classified" all-senators separate briefing from senior Justice Department officials.
He also called for a special prosecutor to oversee the FBI investigation into any potential Russian ties to Mr Trump's associates.
But Vice President Mike Pence told reporters Mr Trump demonstrated "strong and decisive leadership" in his decision and the move was "based solely and exclusively on his commitment to the best interest of the American people".
"The president made the right decision at the right time," he said.
President Trump wrote in a letter to Mr Comey that he agreed with Attorney General Jeff Sessions' recommendation that "you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau".
Mr Sessions said the department of justice was "committed to a high level of discipline, integrity, and the rule of law", and "a fresh start is needed".
Many have expressed surprise that Mr Comey should be fired for his handling of the investigation into Mrs Clinton's emails, given that Mr Trump often praised the FBI director's conduct in the matter.
But on Tuesday, Mr Trump followed the recommendation of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who wrote a letter saying he could not defend the director's handling of the investigation into Secretary Clinton.
He added Mr Comey had been wrong to "usurp" the previous attorney general in July 2016 when he announced the Clinton emails inquiry should be closed without prosecution.
Mr Comey was addressing FBI agents in Los Angeles when, according to US media, he learned he had just been fired when he saw the news on television.
The 56-year-old - who was three-and-a-half years into his 10-year term as FBI director - reportedly laughed, thinking it was a prank.
Democrats swiftly suggested that Mr Trump had fired Mr Comey to influence the FBI inquiry into whether members of the Trump election campaign colluded with the Kremlin.
The House of Representatives and Senate intelligence committees are looking into the same allegations but no conclusions have yet been reached.
"Were these investigations getting too close to home for the president?" Mr Schumer asked a Tuesday evening press conference.
"This does not seem to be a coincidence," he added.
Mr Trump responded on Twitter that Mr Schumer had recently expressed his lack of confidence in the FBI chief.
President Trump has repeatedly insisted the Russia allegations are "fake news". He and his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Washington later on Wednesday.
Donald Trump and senior justice department officials are framing the firing of James Comey as a result of his botched investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server. They do so using language that even Clinton backers would probably support.
Democrats, to put it bluntly, aren't buying it, however - not from this White House. They are dismissing this Clinton explanation as a smokescreen, and view the suddenness of the move as an attempt to subvert the ongoing FBI investigation into possible ties between Russia and the Trump campaign.
At the very least, their calls for an independent investigation into the matter will become deafening - and some Republicans may now be inclined to agree.

Mr Comey has been criticised by Democrats for the handling of his investigation into whether Mrs Clinton's use of a private email server when secretary of state compromised national security.
The now-former FBI director made two interventions during the 2016 election campaign to make pronouncements about the investigation.
He said in July the case should be closed without prosecution, but then declared - 11 days before November's election - that he had reopened the inquiry because of a discovery of a new trove of Clinton-related emails.
What was Clinton FBI probe about?
He told the Senate last week it had made him "mildly nauseous" to think his intervention could have affected the election, but insisted he would make the same decision again. Mrs Clinton lays part of the blame for her shock election defeat last November on Mr Comey.
He told the Senate Judiciary Committee on 3 May that Mrs Clinton's top aide, Huma Abedin, had forwarded "hundreds and thousands" of emails, "some of which contain classified information", to her husband.
But the FBI conceded on Tuesday that Ms Abedin had sent only two email chains containing classified information to her husband, Anthony Weiner, for printing.
In June 1972, five men were arrested trying to bug the offices of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) at the Watergate office and hotel complex in Washington. The break-in was traced to President Richard Nixon's supporters.
The firing of James Comey is drawing comparisons with the so-called Saturday Night Massacre of 1973, when Mr Nixon fired an independent special prosecutor investigating the break-in and the subsequent cover-up.
"Not since Watergate has a president dismissed the person leading an investigation bearing on him," the New York Times wrote late on Tuesday.
Mr Nixon later admitted he had been aware of the cover-up and had tried to halt the FBI's inquiry. He later became the only US president to resign.
William Carini, 54, was convicted in 1992 of a sexual assault against a woman who was sleeping in her car on the side of a road.
But authorities re-examining his case say tests show there was no physical evidence linking him to the crime.
Carini will continue to serve a life sentence however for the murder of his uncle and a young woman.
Carini's case is the seventh overturned conviction in Lake County since 2010. Four of those have been for murder and three for rape.
Lake County State Attorney, Michael Nerheim said the lack of forensic evidence against Carini was grounds for a new trial.
He said he would not seek a fresh trial however, in part because the victim did not want it. The conviction was then formally overturned in court this week.
Carini had served nearly 25 years of his 26-year sentence for the rape. The case remains unsolved.
His 73-year-old mother, Ruthe Wille, who was convicted of killing her husband, Carini's stepfather, in the 1970s, was instrumental in securing the review of her son's case.
She said she hoped that his murder case would now also be re-examined.
Carini was arrested in February 1985 in connection with a double murder, when his uncle and one of Carini's female friends were found dead in a garage he had rented.
At the time, police did not have enough evidence to charge him with murder. He was charged instead with concealing a homicide and sentenced to five years in prison.
After early release he resumed a normal life, until his wrongful conviction for rape in 1992.
It was not until 1999, while he was serving that sentence, that another witness came forward and he was formally charged with the murder of his uncle and friend.
He was convicted on those charges and sentenced to life in prison, which he continues to serve.
Speaking to a reporter from the Chicago Tribune in July last year, Carini said he had been targeted as a suspect for the rape charge because of his past criminal record.
Despite his life sentence for murder, which would see him remain behind bars in any event, it was important to have the false charge quashed, he said.
"I didn't do the crime. So let's set the record straight," he told the newspaper. He also maintains that he is innocent of murder.
The Lake County State Attorney's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The duo were chosen after taking bronze in the World Cup event in Poznan at the weekend ahead of team-mates Nathaniel Reilly-O'Donnell and Matthew Tarrant.
They were named in a group of 12 this month from which the men's eight, pair and two reserves were to be confirmed.
Reilly-O'Donnell and Tarrant will travel to the Olympics as support.
Innes said: "Everything has hung in the balance for the last few months and finally being selected to race the men's pair for Team GB in Rio is a dream come true.
"We now have a big job in front of us and look forward to the challenge."
Scotland's Sam Scrimgeour will also travel to Rio as the lightweight men's reserve.
The announcements mean 44 of the 47 available places have now been filled.
The tweet from Edryd James, 18, of Cynwyl Elfed, Carmarthenshire, was investigated by Dyfed-Powys Police after complaints from the public.
The teenager apologised to Mr Owens at Carmarthen police station on Wednesday.
Mr Owens said he "applauded" Mr James for accepting he had made a mistake, adding it should not affect his life.
He told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement: "It takes a big man to say you're sorry and to do that and also to do that publicly as well sends out, I think, a strong message.
"I think the important message here is that people who are genuinely sorry for their actions, then we need to applaud them for that and accept what they did was wrong, it was a mistake.
"And then we can all move on and them and other people become better people for it."
The tweet was sent to the referee after he officiated England's 55-35 Six Nations victory over France at Twickenham.
Mr Owens said the people who complained about it were the ones who "can make a difference".
"When we have one individual or a few people shouting something in a stadium of 70, 80, 90,000... when you have more people turning around telling them 'there's no place for that here' then it does send out a strong message.
"And I think the same goes for social media as well.
"Those are the people who deserve the credit and can make a difference."
Social Bite co-founder Josh Littlejohn said he approached A-list actor Clooney about visiting the chain and he agreed.
Social Bite is a social venture which helps the homeless community by allowing customers to pay for food and drink for the vulnerable.
Clooney will meet employees at the Edinburgh shop on 12 November.
He will deliver the keynote address at the Scottish Business Awards, also founded by Mr Littlejohn.
The 28-year-old entrepreneur said: "It's a fantastic honour to be bringing one of the world's most famous men to Scotland and it is amazing that he is supporting Social Bite.
"He'll be visiting a Social Bite cafe to meet our staff and customers as well as sample the food while here, and who knows, he may even join the team and lend a helping hand behind the counter.
"For many of our team who until recently lived on the streets, this is a really amazing thing to look forward to."
The not-for-profit enterprise was set up in 2012 and over Christmas ran a hugely successful fundraiser to pay for festive dinners for those in need, with people donating enough for more than 36,000 meals.
One in four of Social Bite staff were previously homeless themselves.
Clooney co-founded the humanitarian charity Not On Our Watch with fellow actors Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and others.
The group campaigns to end atrocities in Darfur and Zimbabwe and to provide assistance to victims in areas of conflict.
The actor-director will address about 2,000 people at the Scottish Business Awards at the EICC, chaired by Sir Tom Hunter.
John Prendergast from Not On Our Watch said: "Not On Our Watch and our board member George Clooney hope to raise further awareness about the important impact charitable donations can have in making a difference in the world."
One member of the public will get the opportunity to attend a private dinner with Clooney in Edinburgh by donating £5 to an online charity competition, with all proceeds going to Social Bite and Not On Our Watch. | Drivers are being warned of disruption after Bath and North East Somerset Council announced it was temporarily closing a major route in Keynsham.

Archaeologists, who were left stunned by the degree of preservation, have said the only reason they survived was because Priory Park was never built on.
Two houses and a third building were found. Moving images from a scan show the shapes of two buildings emerge.
It is thought the houses were owned by people of importance.

Local geophysics specialist David Staveley, who had set out to identify all the city's Roman roads, was given permission to scan the parks because some might have survived there.
Following his scans, a small dig was carried out in Priory Park.
It is thought the houses were originally on a street but the road did not survive.
James Kenny, an archaeologist at Chichester District Council, said the scans showed a townhouse with rooms and a freestanding building in the corner.
"It's difficult to say what it might have been, but the walls did survive. It might have been part of a bathhouse, or a cellar, or a winter dining room with under-floor heating," he said.
Mr Kenny admitted there was "nothing exceptional" about a Roman house in a Roman town.
But he said: "What's exceptional is in a Roman town like Chichester, most of the archaeology has been interrupted by all sorts of house building."
Added to that, the city had no sewers until the 1880s and people had to dig holes in the ground, he said.
"An awful lot of archaeology was lost."
However, Priory Park, originally home to a monastery, had not been developed, and the buildings buried 0.5m below the surface showed a "remarkable degree of preservation", Mr Kenny said.
Further exploration will take place this year and there may also be a larger investigation in the future.
Scans also revealed another Roman street under the park, but this will not be uncovered.
"The biggest challenge for us is to stay attractive to both families with low incomes as well as rich business people in their BMWs," he says.
Twenty years after the end of apartheid, the disparities in wealth in South Africa are still stark and the fractured market represents a particular challenge for foreign businesses seeking to succeed.
"A large part of our growth is coming out of small towns and townships, where we have opened many of our new restaurants," says Doug,
KFC has given customers the option of taking the drinks out of their packaged meal deal or "combo", giving it a price point that more South Africans would be attracted to and has introduced local dishes, such as the popular porridge-style recipe known as "pap".
It is a strategy that seems to be working, as KFC is the second-most powerful foreign brand in the country, according to research undertaken for the BBC.
Breaking into a new market is never easy but many have achieved massive success far from home.
The BBC's global business team meet those who have managed to break into the fast growing global markets and find out what secrets they have learnt about how to succeed in them.
How to succeed in...
Though South Africa lost its position as Africa's biggest economy to Nigeria earlier this year, it is still seen as the springboard into the rest of the continent by many multinationals.
Its middle class is also growing rapidly, the number of individuals with an annual income of 25,000 rand (£1,400) doubled between 1993 and 2013.
Winning in the country is a big prize for those looking for growth in emerging markets, with potential for big increases in consumer demand in the coming decades.
The global consultancy Millward Brown analyses more than 5,000 brands in South Africa by asking consumers to rate how meaningful they are to them as well as other factors.
For the BBC they have identified the top 20 most powerful foreign brands in the country.
With a population of 52 million, speaking 11 different languages and with a sharp history of division, appealing to a cross-section of South Africans is no easy task.
"The trick is to know your customers," says Masingita Mazibuko, beauty marketing director for South Africa's most popular skincare brand, Pond's.
"Though having a diverse population isn't something unique to South Africa, the pallet of different skin types over here prompted us to conduct a lot of research into the needs of all those different South African women," she says.
"With our ageing line, for example, we have to be aware that white skin, when ageing, regularly starts to show wrinkles - while many types of darker skin start to become more dry and show pigmentation."
While the company's big competitor Avon uses special Avon representatives to connect with less prosperous South Africans, Pond's educates so-called "beauty advisers" who help customers in local retail shops and who also go into communities to organise roadshows.
While cosmetics firms concentrate on the different needs of different parts of the population, other brands have succeeded by tapping into the optimism created by a more unified society.
For three weeks in April, Coca-Cola used recycled water to create rainbows over its billboards in Johannesburg. The campaign was launched to mark the 20 years since the end of apartheid.
"By creating these rainbows, we managed to put a smile on the face of so many South Africans and made them feel good about themselves," says Sharon Keith of Coca-Cola Southern Africa.
It certainly achieved an industry buzz as the campaign has won several international awards.
However, the South African market also has its disadvantages. "We face high inflation, relatively expensive labour and industrial action," says Matt Gennrich of Volkswagen South Africa.
"We had a six week-strike over wages last year and this year our suppliers also faced strikes."
Every year, 115,000 vehicles roll out of its factory in Uitenhage - nearly half of which will be destined for other countries.
"Because of the popularity of SUVs and pickups, and the enormous amount of second-hand Japanese cars, there's still not a very big market for us in other African countries," he says.
But with Africa's emerging middle class, Mr Gennrich thinks this situation might change.
"Interestingly enough, some companies are now thinking about setting up a car factory in Nigeria."

Hodgson said Sterling, 19, complained about fatigue on the eve of the game.
"He said, 'I'm feeling tired, I'd rather sit this one out'," Hodgson told BBC Radio 5 live after the 1-0 win.
The 67-year-old added: "It's unfair if all the expectations to give the player a little bit of a break fall on me."
Sterling came on in the 64th minute for club-mate Jordan Henderson, and was fouled for the free-kick that England captain Wayne Rooney curled into the bottom right-hand corner to maintain England's 100% record after three games in Group E.
The teenager has already been rested by club manager Brendan Rodgers this campaign for the league match against Aston Villa in September.
"He broke into the Liverpool team, had a fantastic season and then went to the World Cup. He is only a 19-year-old," added Hodgson.
"It is not as simple as the training you are having may be taking a bit of juice from your legs.
"There is an awful lot going on in your head as well, so perhaps it is quite simply that the season has not started as well for Liverpool, and he is in the spotlight for England and Liverpool. Maybe that has had some effect. I don't know. It's a theory."
Another Anfield team-mate, Adam Lallana, was picked instead of Sterling in the starting XI in Tallinn.
"To be fair to the lad [Sterling], I had a decision to make because Lallana was so good in the second half against San Marino.
"It was simple one. When he suggested he wasn't 100% in terms of fitness and recovery, it would have been foolish to leave a player like Lallana, who is raring to go, out of the team.
"Having Sterling up your sleeve can be a very, very important factor. There's nothing wrong with him. I'm sure when he goes back to Liverpool he'll be fine."
Meanwhile, Hodgson clarified that he had not been intending to replace Rooney just before he broke the deadlock with a 73rd-minute free-kick.
"Wayne would have been frustrated and disappointed if this ended 0-0 - he's a self-critical player and self-critical captain," he said.
"He would have looked at the performance of himself and other front players and would have said 'we are playing good football, but it's up to us to put the chances away'.
"If he hadn't put that away he would been the first one to criticise himself for not doing so."
Posters which described the cat, Murray, as "aggressive" and urged its owner to have him neutered were spotted in Clifton village, Bristol.
Murray's owner said he was a rescue cat from the RSPCA and was already neutered. Murray later returned home but was said to be "timid".
The RSPCA said it took "threats aimed at animals very seriously".
The owner said he was shocked as the cat looked "terrified". After returning home Murray was "off his food".
The posters, put up in the York Place area of Clifton, stated: "If this is your cat please do the right thing and have him neutered...
"No harm has come to this cat; however the cat trap will continue to be set to try to deter him."
An RSPCA spokesperson said if anyone caused "unnecessary suffering to someone's pet, they can face a fine of up to £20,000 or up to six months in prison".
Promising "the hottest bands and artists in the world right now" the series is due to debut in the autumn.
It has yet to receive a title or a timeslot, but will be made by James Corden's company Fulwell 73, whose work includes the wildly-successful Carpool Karaoke series.
An initial run of six episodes has been commissioned.
Top of the Pops was also commissioned for half a dozen episodes in 1964 - but ended up running for 42 years, providing the BBC an unrivalled catalogue of performances by the likes of The Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Beyonce, David Bowie and Madonna.
It registered its highest audience in 1979, when more than 19 million people tuned in to see Dr Hook's When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman topping the chart.
But by 2002, it had lost millions of viewers to 24-hour music channels like MTV. The show was eventually shunted to BBC Two before being cancelled.
Re-runs of old episodes continue to be screened on BBC Four, while the brand is resurrected for Christmas specials every year.
However, the new show is not envisaged as a successor to Top of the Pops and its top 40 format. Instead, it promises "live music performances, sketches and interviews".
BBC Music's Jan Younghusband suggested it would be a successor to one-off specials like Adele at the BBC and Michael Buble at the BBC.
Both shows included live performances and shareable moments, such as Adele auditioning to play her own lookalike.
Speaking to Music Week last year, Fulwell 73's Lou Pearlman described how the company would approach such a show.
"[If Top of the Pops was on now] it would have moments that would have ended up having 20 million views over the course of a few weeks," he said.
"Whether it's a live music show or not, whether it's performances or not, I just think there's something amazing to do in that space.
"There's nothing aimed at that weekend audience, nothing contemporary and relevant. There should be a show like that and we'd love to be the ones to make it."
The new BBC series will have Fulwell 73's Gabe Turner and former TFI Friday producer Suzi Aplin as executive producers, with more details to be announced in the summer.
"The BBC is the biggest music broadcaster in the UK and we are always looking for new ways to bring music to our audiences," said Bob Shennan, director of BBC Radio and Music.
"This series will be a fantastic opportunity to showcase the biggest and best UK and international bands and artists."

Another 227 people were wounded, it added. Images circulating online show bodies on the mosque floor amid debris.
The blast hit the Imam Sadiq Mosque in a busy area to the east of Kuwait City.
An Islamic State- (IS) affiliated group said it was behind the attack. IS has carried out similar recent attacks in neighbouring Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
However, this is the first attack on a Shia mosque to take place in the small Gulf state.
A Kuwaiti MP, who saw the attacker, said the mosque was packed with some 2,000 people when there was a loud explosion, Reuters reported.
"It was obvious from the suicide bomber's body that he was young. He walked into the prayer hall during sujood [kneeling in prayer], he looked... in his 20s, I saw him with my own eyes," Khalil al-Salih told the news agency.
A paramedic, speaking to AP news agency, said most of the victims men and boys attending Friday prayers.
Footage said to be taken in the aftermath of the blast showed dozens of men in blood-splattered white robes spilling out of the smoke-filled mosque into the street outside.
Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber al-Mubarak al-Sabah said the attack was an attempt to threaten national unity. "But this is too difficult for them and we are much stronger than that," he added.
State TV showed the Kuwaiti Emir, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, visiting the damaged mosque.
An IS affiliate calling itself the Najd Province - the same group that claimed a pair of bombing attacks on Shia mosques in Saudi Arabia in recent weeks - said it was behind the attack.
A spokesman for Islamic State this week urged the militant group's followers to step up attacks during the Islamic month of Ramadan.
Sunni-ruled Kuwait has a large Shia minority, which IS considers to be heretical.
The blast in Kuwait came on the same day as:
France, Kuwait and Tunisia attacks: What we know
On Monday night, Travis Kalanick, Uber's boss, was obliged to grovel over his behaviour towards his driver.
And, as we all know, recognising you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
So we've put together an eight-step programme to help him turn around his management style.
Mr Kalanick does at least recognise there's a problem - something that also became clearer to the world at large on Monday when a dashcam video was released showing the boss apparently being argumentative, short-tempered and dismissive towards his driver.
But he already knew he had that in him.
"Look, I'm a passionate entrepreneur. I'm like fire and brimstone sometimes. And so there are times when I'll go - I'll get too into the weeds and too into the debate, because I'm so passionate about it," he told Vanity Fair in 2014, with the admission that it "can rub some people the wrong way".
He's waited until now to accept it's time to change, but better late than never.
He did that.
But only once the altercation had turned into a car-crash on social media. He could have said something a month ago when the incident happened.
"If he'd have apologised afterwards to that driver and said, 'you caught me at a bad moment and I want to apologise', I'd guess this story would not be out there," says John Blakey, executive coach and author of The Trusted Executive.
"Saying sorry is not a habit a lot of CEOs have got."
"The other mistake he made was he didn't seem to realise the whole world is watching. Leaders should assume any interaction they have will end up in the news," says New York-based executive coach, Ben Dattner.
Serious chief executive officers never completely let their hair down, he says, even if they are on their way to a Super Bowl party.
"Assume anything can, and will, be broadcast against you. Use it as an opportunity to end up in a heart-warming clip 'CEO of Uber gives ride to kid' instead of 'CEO of Uber has negative encounter with driver'."
One thing he did right was using his own company's services. That at least shows commitment, and he definitely shouldn't start taking the bus.
But maybe he could do more?
"As a matter of course take one Uber ride a week. It's just an opportunity to hear from drivers and answer their questions and hear their concerns so there isn't a disgruntled outburst - to ensure [he's] listening on an ongoing basis," says Mr Dattner.
If in the past he's taken some pride in his confrontational approach, it could now be time to move on.
"We characterise him as aggressive, dog-eat-dog, and he's obviously an extremely driven individual, that's how he's achieved what he's achieved," says Mr Blakey.
"[But] what got you here, won't get you there. Those attributes - the challenge, the boldness, the brashness - to get to the next stage of the game, he has to recognise he needs new qualities."
Even so, he may prove resistant to taking advice, says Leila Bulling Towne.
She's advised executives both in Silicon Valley and around he world. She thinks the public humiliation he's just been through is likely to make him feel like a child who has been spanked for misbehaviour.
The pain and embarrassment may have been enough to prompt him to seek help. But the negative feelings may make it harder for him to embrace change.
"This is a driver, one of hundreds, thousands, however many drivers. He could have said 'Tell me more. What do I need to know?'", suggests Ms Bulling Towne.
"If that had been filmed, we'd have seen him as someone accepting feedback, asking for new ideas, showing [the characteristics] we elevate leaders for."
Ben Dattner agrees Mr Kalanick could definitely have handled the situation better.
"He could have explained: 'Here's the policy that we changed'. Or he could have been empathic and said: 'I'm sorry to hear your income has gone down'."
"He should convey: 'I'm concerned about how much you're making and how satisfied you are as a driver for Uber'."
"Each of us has triggers, things that bother us: people running late, people interrupting, traffic," says Ms Bulling Towne.
"We need to understand what our triggers are and when that happens not have an emotional hijacking as a result.
"It would be good for him to understand those hot buttons."
In Mr Kalanick's case, it could be the negative publicity swirling around his company in recent weeks - the legal battles to keep Uber operating in cities around the world, the stress of running a rapidly expanding tech giant. Or it could just be that he was really tired.
As Mr Kalanick himself admits, he used to think you had to burn the candle at both ends to be the real deal as head of a Silicon Valley start-up.
But now Arianna Huffington is on Uber's board he seems to have changed his mind.
She co-founded the Huffington Post, but her big thing now is that everyone, and especially executives, should sleep more.
Mr Kalanick says it's "fricking obvious" that she's right. More time under the duvet equals "more wisdom, more emotional intelligence, more productivity, a happier life", he reckons.
So maybe he just hasn't been sleeping well lately.
A new year is upon us and I for one wonder what the fuss is all about - why the fireworks, the endless parties, the resolutions, the yearning to know the future - when in reality the new year for each and everyone should be the day our mothers gave birth to us.
But let us run with the herd and pretend there is a new year to celebrate and that making it into 2014 is worthy of raising a glass and that being alive at the beginning of January is somehow worthier of notice than being dead in December.
And it is a time to look ahead and speculate about the immediate future of this, our continent.
Increasingly, this has become an impossible task - for who could have known that before December was over South Sudan and her precarious peace would have unravelled and the prospect of another war loom large over the long-suffering South Sudanese?
Or that more than 100 people would die in the Democratic Republic of Congo as followers of evangelical Christian pastor Joseph Mukungubila attacked state institutions with gunfire on the second last day of 2013?
Pastor Mukungubila is known as the "prophet of the eternal" and he issued a press statement on his Facebook and Twitter accounts from "the office of the prophet" saying his followers had spontaneously rebelled against soldiers who had attacked his home.
And perhaps it is to these so-called prophets, the seers said to be blessed by holy visions that we should turn in predicting what this year has in store for us all.
Not only do these men say they can predict our uncertain future, they are also credited with performing astounding miracles.
Prophets are everywhere you look, ministering to the poor, the needy and the rich.
In Zimbabwe, Uebert Angel, a young charismatic prophet, arrives to preach to his flock by helicopter and tells them that God wants them to be rich, as rich as he is.
In Lagos, TB Joshua receives men and women of influence and presidents of different lands.
In Ghana, for these holy men are everywhere, Victor Kusi Boateng replenishes the spiritual needs of other prophets.
It would be foolish for anyone to cast aspersions on the acts of the divinely gifted, these miracle workers, these gardeners of the desert.
But seeing as so many of Africa's urban populations are filling the churches and the prayer halls in search of signs and miracles and salvation, I thought it wise to spend some time surfing the web in search of 2014 predictions for you from those in the know.
For the World Cup, no prophet goes out on a limb to hand the trophy to Africa, although one sees Nigeria's Super Eagles making it to the semi-finals.
If you are a Liverpool supporter, you will be disappointed to hear that another prophet has denied recent reports of that he predicted the Reds would win the league this year.
Yet another prophet believes there will be an explosion in prostitution in 2014 as the hard times continue to roll.
What of more serious issues, I hear you ask.
Another man of vision informs us that African politicians who depend on corruption for their wealth will fall by the wayside in 2014.
It seems, though, that a principal talent a prophet needs is the ability to foretell a leader's death, or to warn of some kind of attack or natural disaster before it occurs - but without giving us the specifics.
So it is possible we may hear a prophecy that a long-serving African leader will leave us in this 14th year of the new century and we, believing our prophets, will cast our roving eyes around to Eritrea, Zimbabwe or Cameroon and wonder where the prophet really wanted us to look.
We will watch the explosions in Somalia and the kidnappings in Libya or the murders in northern Nigeria and Mali and understand that the prophets have been telling us for some time that terrorism in Africa has been strengthening its grip and our governments must remain alert.
And what of the fate of all Africans all over the world? Despite the Bible and a love of scriptures, the world at large will watch us die in leaking boats in the Mediterranean or killed while crossing deserts as we demonstrate for the right to stay in places like Israel and Saudi Arabia where we are not wanted.
One thing you can be sure of is that 2014 will come and go of its own accord regardless of the prophecies - and it may well be more of the same but not necessarily in that order.

Mr Nuttall urged UKIP to "stick together" after senior figures clashed following his Stoke by-election defeat.
He said he took responsibility for inaccurate claims he lost close friends at Hillsborough but blamed reports he had not actually been at the match on an "orchestrated smear campaign".
UKIP's latest row involves ex-leader Nigel Farage and MP Douglas Carswell.
Claims Mr Carswell blocked an attempt to get Mr Farage a knighthood have been referred to UKIP's National Executive Committee.
Mr Carswell has denied trying to stop the honour.
Mr Farage has accused him of "working for the Conservatives" and called for him to be expelled from the party.
And donor Arron Banks, a close ally of Mr Farage, has pledged to stand against Mr Carswell in his Clacton constituency.
The infighting was put to Mr Nuttall when he appeared on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show.
The leader said he would have "no problem" with Mr Carswell remaining in the party if he had in fact lobbied in favour of Mr Farage being knighted.
"We have had it in writing now from Douglas Carswell that he lobbied for Nigel Farage to get a knighthood and he spoke to the people involved," he said.
"He has put it in writing, let's see what happens. It'll go to the national executive from here."
He added: "If it's proven that Douglas lobbied for Nigel to get a knighthood...then I don't see a problem."
Mr Carswell told ITV's Peston on Sunday he would "absolutely" fight the next general election as a UKIP candidate.
In his BBC interview Mr Nuttall also said Mr Banks - who wants to be appointed chairman because he says the party is being run like a "jumble sale" - was not "UKIP's major donor".
"A lot of what Arron Banks says I tend to agree with," he said.
"UKIP needs to be professionalised."
He predicted a "big improvement in donations".
"Give me time to sort out this mess," he added.
Mr Nuttall said he had been "hounded" and subjected to "unfair" treatment by the press since he failed to get elected in the Stoke-on-Trent Central by-election, which was held by Labour last month.
During the campaign, he apologised over claims on his website that he had lost close personal friends in the Hillsborough disaster.
He said a press officer had made the mistake but that he took responsibility, adding that he would "stand in a witness stand in a court of law" and confirm he had been at the match when he was 12 years old.
Speaking to Sky News, Mr Nuttall said: "I witnessed things that no child, I suppose, of 12-and-a-half should have to witness.
"But I will say this - I didn't witness the worst of it because thank God my father was an experienced match-goer and he realised pretty quickly that something was badly wrong and I think we were probably one of the first to leave the stadium."
The new .22-calibre revolver is named Nidar, it weighs a mere 250g (8.8 ounces) - that's half of .32-calibre Nirbheek's 500g (1.1lb); and it costs 35,000 rupees ($513; £357) - Nirbheek came with a steep price tag of 122,360 rupees ($1,990; £1,213).
Manufacturers say Nidar is made with an aluminium alloy which makes it very light, but has "strength similar to steel", it has a 40-mm barrel and is just 140mm in length which makes it "small enough to fit into a palm".
Both Nirbheek and Nidar are synonyms of Nirbhaya - the nickname given by the Indian press to Jyoti Singh, the 23-year-old victim of December 2012 fatal gang rape on a bus in in Delhi. All three words mean fearless in Hindi.
They are produced by government-owned factories, and their manufacturers say carrying them will make people more confident and "fearless".
An official at the state-run Rifle Factory Ishapore, near the eastern city of Kolkata (Calcutta), said Nidar was aimed at "professional Indian men and women".
"I believe our customers would be people who travel a lot, who have security risks. They will buy this gun for their personal safety," factory in-charge PK Agarwal told the BBC.
He said he expected the gun to be more popular with women.
"I think it will be ideal for women. If a woman takes a taxi at night, the driver will think 10 times before trying anything with her because he knows she has a gun in her purse," he added.
But can carrying a gun make people safer?
Not really.
Most places in India do not allow guns - even the licensed ones - and there are metal detectors at many offices, malls, cinemas, markets and other public places to enforce this.
So even if "professional Indian men and women" were to get a gun, it will be of little use to them because they will not be able to carry it around with them.
Anti-gun campaigners also say that arming citizens is never a good idea - and that the way to tackle women's safety and reduce crimes is by better policing and changing attitudes.
The manufacturers of Nidar, however, are confident that their product will succeed - Mr Agarwal told the BBC that he expected to sell 10,000 units of the gun this year.
The Indonesian man and three Nigerians were killed by firing squad shortly after midnight local time (17:00 GMT) at the Nusakambangan prison island.
A further 10 convicts who had been expected to be killed had a last-minute stay of execution.
Amnesty International condemned the killings as a "deplorable act" that violated local and international law.
Indonesia's Deputy Attorney-General Noor Rachmad said it was "not a pleasant thing but it was to implement the law".
"The executions are only aimed at halting drug crimes," he said, adding that the rest "will be carried out in stages".
Indonesia has some of the world's toughest drug laws, and has faced intense criticism internationally for resuming executions.
In April 2015, the execution of 14 drug convicts, mostly foreigners, was widely criticised.
Australia briefly withdrew its ambassador from Indonesia in protest over the execution of its citizens, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.
Those executed on Friday have been named as Indonesian Freddy Budiman and Nigerians Seck Osmane, Humphrey Jefferson Ejike and Michael Titus Igweh.
Relatives had gathered at the prison earlier in the day to say final goodbyes.
In the early morning, ambulances returned to the mainland carrying the prisoner's bodies to be returned to their relatives for funerals.
Authorities did not give a reason for the reprieve given to the other 10 inmates, but island was hit by a major storm as the other executions took place.
Those awaiting executions include three Indonesians, a Pakistani, an Indian, one Zimbabwean and four other Nigerians.
Activists have been particularly concerned by the cases of the Pakistani man, Zulfiqar Ali - who they say was beaten into confessing to heroin possession - and an Indonesian woman, Merri Utami - who says she was duped into becoming a drug mule.
Ricky Gunawan, lawyer for Humphrey Jefferson Ejike, said the execution process was "a complete mess".
"No clear information was provided to us about the time of execution, why only four [were executed] and what happens to the 10 others," he told AFP.
A number of Europeans on death row for drug offences, including Frenchman Serge Atlaoui and British grandmother Lindsay Sandiford, seem likely to avoid execution.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo vowed to take a hard line against drug trafficking when he was elected in 2014, saying he would not compromise over death sentences to convicted drug dealers.
This is the third round of executions under Mr Widodo.
They received 1,150 complaints after trainer Jules O'Dwyer used a second dog called Chase to perform a tightrope walk because her Border Collie, Matisse, was afraid of heights.
ITV boss Peter Fincham later admitted the programme should have made it clear that a different dog was used.
"We've opened an investigation to determine whether viewers of ITV's Britain's Got Talent final, who may have paid money to vote, were misled about the competition," an Ofcom spokesman said.
O'Dwyer and Matisse narrowly won the final, which was seen by 13 million people.
As well as a £250,000 prize, O'Dwyer and Matisse won a spot performing on the Royal Variety Performance.
A Bronx Tale, which began its life as a one-man stage play before being filmed, will run at the Longacre Theatre in New York from 3 November.
The show was first staged at the Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey last year.
De Niro, 72, said he was "very excited" to "bring this special story to new audiences".
"A Bronx Tale has always had a very special meaning to me and I always thought it had great potential to be a musical," he said.
Co-directed by Jerry Zaks, the show tells of an Italian-American teenager who finds himself torn between the contrasting examples set by his father and a mob-boss father figure.
Zaks, whose Broadway credits include Guys and Dolls and La Cage aux Folles, previously directed Chazz Palminteri's one-man show when it ran on Broadway in 2007.
De Niro, who played the "good" father role in the 1993 film, described Zaks as "a great person" from whom he had "already learned a lot".
The musical features a score by Aladdin composer Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, who previously worked together on Disney's Tangled and the stage version of The Little Mermaid.
A Bronx Tale is one of two films De Niro has directed to date, the other being 2006 espionage drama The Good Shepherd.
The search for survivors was abandoned late on Sunday, two days after the submerged vessel was first spotted in the sea.
At least 55 people were thought to have been on the boat, Australian authorities said.
Ships and aircraft had spotted a total of 13 bodies, as well as debris.
The boat was seen northwest of Christmas Island - the closest piece of Australian territory to Indonesia - on Wednesday, when it did not appear to be in distress.
A navy vessel subsequently went to intercept it, but could not find it. An aircraft spotted its submerged hull on Friday.
Officials said about 55 people had appeared to be on the boat. Their nationality was not known, but most of the asylum-seekers who make their way by boat to Australia via Indonesia come from Sri Lanka, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Figures from Australia's Department of Immigration; passenger numbers exclude crew
Both ships and aircraft searched for survivors over the weekend, but the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) called off the search late on Sunday, citing medical advice that no-one could have survived any longer in the water.
Officials on Monday said they will not conduct a new search to retrieve bodies. "Our priority in those operations remains the protection of life, responding to other vessels which may require assistance, and preventing any further loss of life," a Border Protection Command statement said.
In recent months the number of people attempting to make their way to Australia by boat has risen significantly.
Last year, the government re-established offshore processing camps for asylum seekers in Papua New Guinea and Nauru in a bid to deter people from making the dangerous journey across the sea in overcrowded and poorly-maintained vessels.
But the offshore processing policy - and the conditions in the camps - have been heavily criticised by rights groups and UN agencies, and boat numbers have also continued to rise.
"This is another terrible tragedy, another terrible reminder how dangerous these journeys are," Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare said on Sunday.
In written evidence to a committee which questioned him on Tuesday, Roger Stone described his shock at the "vitriol" in the Casey Report.
As many as 1,400 children were raped, trafficked and groomed in Rotherham, most during Mr Stone's time as leader.
He resigned the same day the earlier Jay Report was published.
Last month's Casey Report found a Labour-led council "not fit for purpose" and led to Communities Secretary Eric Pickles ordering government-appointed commissioners to take over the running of Rotherham.
Mr Stone said in his statement to the Communities and Local Government Committee: "It does feel like a witch hunt and not a fair and evidenced assessment of the governance capabilities of Rotherham or a rigorous exposition of the failures on CSE (child sexual exploitation) set in context.
"To impose commissioners on the basis of a short review which was dealing with historic issues is not serving the interests of local democracy."
The former council leader said: "There are accountability issues for central government as health, criminal justice including police and CPS have all been part of the 'collective failure' of Rotherham.
"This is in my view why Rotherham's local leadership is being blamed so vociferously to avoid any collective responsibility.
"It is how local and national systems have come together which is in part responsible.
"It is why there are issues from Southampton to Cumbria and crimes from Derby to Oxford to Reading."
Prof Alexis Jay's report provoked nationwide shock when it outlined how at least 1,400 children had been subjected to CSE in Rotherham.
Mr Stone said: "I was stunned by the numbers set out in the Jay report and the detail of the abuse outlined and the vitriol of the Casey review.
"I do feel I should have known and done more but I think it's important to have an honest appraisal of what happened and why it happened and not just make accusations which are mostly vague and unsubstantiated."
He said: "Given the scale of the issue I thought our action proportionate.
"In the entire firestorm I don't believe there was a cover-up. I was told there was not enough evidence for the CPS to proceed.
"I had no evidence to contradict this, nor has any been suggested."
The victory in Val di Sole, Italy, completed a perfect season for Atherton, 28, who had already won all seven 2016 World Cup events.
"Racing is just mad, there is nothing else like it. I wish everyone could experience it," Atherton said.
She was three seconds quicker than French runner-up Myriam Nicole.
Atherton recorded a time of four minutes 20.187 seconds to retain her title.
She has now won four World Championships titles and five World Cup crowns.
Hart, 24, - on the back of three successive UCI Mountain Bike World Cup victories - took his second world title after success in 2011 with a run of three minutes 32.484 seconds.
Elliot Heap was Britain's best finisher in the junior men's event in sixth, with 17-year-old Aston Tutt eighth in the junior women's event.
The police are investigating the alleged theft of the pallets from council land in east Belfast.
Belfast City Council has confirmed the pallets being stored were related to bonfire sites on Chobham Street (walkway) and Hope Street (Sandy Row).
The proposal was backed by the council's strategic policy committee.
It was brought forward by Alliance's Michael Long and will now go to full council for approval.
Sinn Féin described the discussion of the matter in private session on Friday as "lengthy and very heated".
Councillor Jim McVeigh told BBC Radio Ulster's Evening Extra his party was unhappy that a decision was "taken secretly without our knowledge to store the pallets".
The DUP's Lee Reynolds said the storage of the pallets was the "best solution" for the Chobham Street walkway.
Belfast City Council said it would not comment on the police investigation following the alleged theft.
It said it continued to "work with communities and a range of statutory agencies in its efforts to minimize any negative impact of bonfires on local residents" and that its "focus is on helping to calm community tensions at this time".
John Kane recorded more than 60 women in the Central Retail Park and a nearby supermarket and secretly filmed children playing outside a nearby shop.
Kane, 67, was also placed on the sex offenders register for five years and placed under supervision for 18 months.
He previously admitted committing a breach of the peace in July last year.
Falkirk Sheriff Court was told that Kane tried to flush a memory card down the toilet at a police station after being arrested for drink driving.
The memory card contained 60 short videos, lasting between 50 seconds and three minutes.
Prosecutor Ann Orr told the court that the recordings focused on the women's bare legs and bottoms.
Mrs Orr said other videos showed children aged between six and 12 playing.
She said: "One child is doing cartwheels, and the camera zooms in on the crotch area."
Mrs Orr said the camera operator's distinctive cream, leather-toecapped trainers and khaki shorts were in shot in many of the videos.
Police searched Kane's home and found the khaki shorts and trainers in a bag in his spare bedroom.
Kane told police he "had a drink in him" at the time the videos were filmed.
Asked if what he had done aroused him, he said: "It did at the time, but afterwards I felt ashamed about it."
Martin Morrow, defending, said: "I have to concede that a serious sexual element is a reasonable assessment of the situation here.
"The emphasis was on people's legs."
Sheriff Craig Caldwell imposed a sexual offences prevention order, banning Kane from using or possessing any kind of camera equipment, including any mobile phone that can take photographs or shoot videos, for five years.
Sheriff Caldwell told him: "If there are any breaches, it's very likely I'll send you to prison."
Boro have lost three of their four games this season - the most recent against Leyton Orient on Tuesday.
"We need to get accustomed to what it takes to win football matches - get ruthless with each other," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"Perhaps no more 'Mr Nice Guy' and enjoying the surroundings; maybe some home truths and sorting things out."
Saturday's 2-2 draw at Newport was the only point Sheringham has seen his side take in their first three League Two games.
And the former England, Tottenham and Manchester United striker, who moved into management after one season as a coach at West Ham, said his side need to be more "professional" in their approach to matches.
"It's not about doing stuff for 45 or 50 minutes. It's a 90-minute game. You've got to be clued in," the 49-year-old added.
"It's tough to win football matches. You've got to be very professional, resilient and switched on for 90 minutes.
"We can't do it for 55 and think we'll get away with it. It's not good enough."
The Shropshire Star reported the 10-year-old had been involved in a car accident in Telford during the early hours of Wednesday and suffered a head injury.
West Midlands Ambulance confirmed it had been unable to take a patient to hospital at that time.
Ambulances were delayed by waiting times at the hospitals, it said.
The service's director of clinical commissioning, Mark Docherty, said it was an issue out of its control.
He said the hospitals needed to make improvements to make sure ambulance staff could get patients out of vehicles and hand them over quickly.
At the time of the accident, four emergency ambulances had been delayed by over an hour each to hand over their patients at two Shropshire hospitals.
More on this story and others in Shropshire
Earlier this month, West Midlands Ambulance reported there had been no ambulances available in the whole of the county "for a short period" on Saturday, 20, March.
The service said it had raised the issue of long delays when offloading patients with the hospitals on a number of occasions.
Debbie Kadum, chief operating officers at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, said the trust was seeing unprecedented volumes of very poorly patients attending its A&E departments.
The number of A&E cubicles at Telford had increased by 40 per cent but it has not been enough, she said.
Shropshire Fire Service said it could confirm that it did take the unusual step of transporting a casualty to hospital using one of its fire engines.
Police say there has been an escalation of violence in protests against labour reforms over the past two months.
As officers protested in Paris, they were targeted by counter-demonstrators.
Groups say police have themselves acted violently towards them.
As hundreds of police gathered for a rally at the Place de la Republique in Paris on Wednesday, hundreds of the counter-demonstrators defied a ban on marching.
While some chanted "Everybody hates the police" and "Police everywhere, justice nowhere," French media said up to 15 youths attacked a police car with iron bars before throwing a petrol bomb at the vehicle.
Two police officers who were inside the car fled before it was attacked, media said.
Paris prosecutors say they have opened an investigation into attempted manslaughter.
Anger as France imposes labour reforms
What is the French economic problem?
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said 350 police officers had been injured over the past two months. The violence has been blamed on small groups of "casseurs", or troublemakers.
"Anti-cop hatred comes from a small portion of the population," Jean-Marc Falcone, general director of the police, told Europe 1 radio. "But these 10% are very violent."
"Since the first demonstration on 9 March, we notice that they [the police] generate the violence," one labour reform protester, Vanina Giudicelli, told the Associated Press. "We have been sprayed by gas, hit with batons, arrested."
She called the police demonstration "a real provocation".
France's Socialist government pushed through the labour reforms last week, saying they are essential to help cut high levels of unemployment.
The changes to the labour laws make it easier for employers to hire and fire, but opponents fear they will also enable employers to bypass workers' rights on pay, overtime and breaks.
Earlier this term, the company's managing director suggested the sponsorship could end unless Michael Johnston resigned from Killie's board.
Johnston, the club's company secretary, was absent from Wednesday's AGM.
The Ayrshire club reported that Johnston has not returned to normal duties following his wife's passing.
Interim manager Lee McCulloch addressed shareholders but indicated he would not be drawn on his own position until the club's Premiership status for next season was secured.
However, he did hint that should Killie beat basement club Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Saturday he would consider sitting down with the board with a view to the future.
The Rugby Park club, with three games to play, are six points clear of the Premiership play-off place but cannot finish bottom and be automatically relegated.
Kilmarnock's accounts for the year ended 30 May 2016 posted a loss of £69,089 - a substantial improvement on the previous year's loss of £724,406.
This was due to a number of factors including compensation received from Uefa for players taking part in Euro 2016, an increase in gate receipts, an increase in commercial income and television revenue from last season's Scottish Cup tie and replay with Rangers.
The forecast for the current financial year suggests a trading profit, taking into consideration finance received from the January sale of forward Souleymane Coulibaly to Egyptian club Al Ahly.
Killie also received compensation from Bury after manager Lee Clark left to join the English League One club, which prompted McCulloch's promotion from the assistant manager's role three months ago.
The accounts to May 2016 also revealed director Billy Bowie, through his company Billy Bowie Special Projects Limited, once again advanced funds to the club to the tune of £165,000 during the year. That takes the total owing to his company to £888,833.
Killie supporters were also given the opportunity at the AGM to provide a presentation to shareholders promoting their campaign to have a fan-elected director join the board.
The aim of the 'Trust in Killie' campaign, which is led by the Kilmarnock Supporters Society (also known as the Killie Trust) is to raise £100,000 to purchase unallocated shares in the club. Once this is achieved, a supporter will be elected to take a seat on the board.
The state of the Queensland was this week shocked by the deaths of two women, allegedly by former partners, and a vicious attack on a third.
Sporting identity Darren Lockyer said the violence had to stop.
He has joined the state premier and other prominent Queenslanders in speaking out.
"It is not the society we want to live in nor should we accept it," said the former Australian Rugby League captain, who is now a TV sports commentator.
"Behaviours don't change overnight but we need to draw a line in the sand and get serious about the way we treat other human beings with respect, especially our women and children," he told local media.
In the wake of the two deaths, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she would fast track sweeping new domestic violence legislation.
"What we've just seen over the last few days is atrocious, it's horrific... it's had horrible consequences," Premier Palaszczuk said.
On Tuesday, Queensland woman Tara Brown, 24, was allegedly bashed with a brick by her ex-partner after he drove her off the road, trapping her inside her wrecked car.
She died in hospital, a week after being turned away by police when she sought help to escape the violent relationship.
Two days later, mother-of-three Karina Lock, 49, was shot in the head by her estranged husband in front of shocked diners at a popular fast food outlet.
In a separate incident on the same day, a 51-year-old man was arrested for allegedly driving his partner's car off the road and chasing her down the street with a machete. She survived the attack.
The three cases have shaken emergency workers and prompted an outpouring of grief on social media.
It comes as the Council of Australian Governments, the peak inter-governmental forum, is working to better coordinate police and legal action on domestic violence across state and territory borders.
Announcing the plan earlier this year, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said the scheme would mean a domestic violence court order against an alleged perpetrator in one jurisdiction would hold in another.
The violence should not be allowed to follow women from state to state, he said.
On average, one woman is killed every week as a result of intimate partner violence in Australia, according to government statistics.
Last year campaigners against the mine at Shortwood Farm, between Cossall and Trowell, were "devastated" that then-Communities Secretary Eric Pickles did not call-in the decision approved by the county council.
More than 1m tonnes of coal can now be extracted by UK Coal.
The firm agreed to control noise and dust and restore the site to farmland after extraction.
Plans for the surface mine were first approved by the county council in 2013 pending the completion of legal matters.
Mr Pickles said in July last year he was satisfied correct planning procedures had been followed.
Nottinghamshire County Council supported UK Coal's plan to extract an estimated 1.28 million tonnes of coal and 250,000 tonnes of fireclay from the mine in under five years.
The coal will be used to generate power at the nearby Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station.
Harrison, 29, joined the Spireites in January 2015, but spent part of last season on loan at Stevenage.
Murray, 22, made 32 appearances for Scottish League One Stenhousemuir last term, scoring twice.
He began his career at Motherwell and impressed Barrow boss Paul Cox during a trial at Holker Street.
The length of Harrison and Murray's contracts with Barrow have not been disclosed.

The rebel leader Timoleon Jimenez, known as Timochenko, apologised to "all the victims of the conflict" and was greeted by cheers and applause.
He said: "I would like to ask for forgiveness for all the pain that we have caused during this war."
Guests dressed in white at the ceremony in Cartagena, to symbolise peace.

President Juan Manuel Santos said: "Colombia celebrates, the planet celebrates because there is one less war in the world.
We will achieve any goal, overcome any hurdle and turn our nation into a country we've always dreamed of - a country in peace."
Timochenko said the Farc, which began as the armed wing of the Communist Party in 1964, is leaving armed conflict behind and moving in to peaceful politics.
"We are being reborn to launch a new era of reconciliation and of building peace," he said.
"Let us all be prepared to disarm our hearts."
The president and Timochenko used a pen made from a bullet to sign the deal.
There was so much symbolism in this historic signing - a pen made from a bullet to sign the peace deal, the singing of Beethoven's Ode to Joy, everyone dressed in white.
President Santos said this historic moment was a message from Colombia to the world: no more war. "No more war," the crowd chanted in return.
This was the first time Timochenko addressed the nation live on TV. He promised the Farc would give up its guns, and more than that, he asked for forgiveness.
It earned him a standing ovation. That would have been unthinkable not long ago.
But after 50 years of war, many Colombians still aren't ready to forgive. As President Santos put it, the hard work of building peace now lies ahead.
The deal comes after four years of talks in Havana, Cuba, between government and rebel negotiators. It must be approved by the Colombian people in a popular vote on Sunday before it can pass into law.
Polls indicate the majority of Colombians will vote for it, although there has been some opposition, led by ex-president Alvaro Uribe.
Under the deal, the Farc will be relaunched as a political party. Correspondents say that although there is widespread hope that the deal may bring an end to the kidnappings and bloodshed that have blighted Colombia over five decades, it has also led to divisions in Latin America's fourth-biggest economy.
Some people are angry that it allows rebels to enter parliament without serving time in prison.
Correspondents say President Santos has risked his political future on the success of the peace deal.
Dignitaries attending the ceremony included UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Cuban President Raul Castro.
Mr Ban told the ceremony: "You can look to the future with optimism. You are inviting Colombians to live in peace."
As Mr Kerry arrived in the country, he praised Mr Santos' efforts to secure the deal and pledged $390m (£300m) to help implement it.
The US is not yet ready to remove the Farc from its list of terrorist organisations, he said, but is prepared to review that sanction once the peace agreement is up and running.
However, only hours before the signing, the EU announced it would suspend the Farc from its list.
"This decision will allow us to support the post-conflict programme and will be of benefit to all Colombians," EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said on social media.
Farc rebels must now hand over weapons to the UN within 180 days.
But the smaller ELN rebel group is still active, as are right-wing paramilitary groups.

Around 2,000 of the "brightest poorest" children miss out on places at "top universities", a study suggests.
Research into 520,984 children found even the highest performers lose out to less able, better-off pupils if they come from a more deprived background.
The study showed "how unfair" the former system was, the government said.
Academics at the Institute for Fiscal Studies looked at 8,000 children who had been high-achieving at 11 in primary school.
By the age of 16, these children were behind average achievers from wealthy families, said the research, published by the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission.
Nine hundred of the 8,000 high-achieving children went on to an elite university, according to the work, which looked at a cohort of children born between 1991 and 1992.
A child's background was measured by the school type, free school meal status during secondary school and an index of socioeconomic status measuring the deprivation of their neighbourhood.
Three times the number of children who are least deprived reach level 3 in reading and maths at Key Stage 1 than the most deprived children.
The commission, chaired by former Labour MP Alan Milburn, said the research showed how important secondary school was if the government wants to boost the number of children from poorer backgrounds at elite universities.
It called for universities and policymakers to give students from poorer backgrounds advice to help them get into the top institutions.
Mr Milburn said Britain was "wasting young talent on an industrial scale".
He said the young high-achievers were getting lost in a "secondary school maze" that must be improved before social mobility could improve.
"For secondary schools the research is a wake-up call for them to do more to realise the potential of each of these students," he added.
A Department for Education spokesperson said: "This report, analysing the progress of pupils who largely left school before 2010, underlines just how unfair the education system was before this government's programme of reforms.
"Improving the life chances of children from disadvantaged backgrounds and closing the gap between the rich and the poor is our overriding ambition."
She said there were now 250,000 fewer pupils in failing secondary schools than there were in 2010 and that more young people from disadvantaged areas in England were applying to university "than ever before".
South Wales Police are investigating the robbery at Lloyds Bank on Cowbridge Road East in the Canton area of the city at 12:30 BST on Tuesday.
Officers are trying to trace a suspect captured on CCTV cameras within the bank.
The man is described as 50-60 years of age, 5ft 9ins (1.75m) to 6ft (1.82m) tall with black hair that is greying. He was wearing black clothing.
Detective Sergeant Andy Miles from Fairwater CID said: "The CCTV is clear and I am confident that members of the public will know his identity.
"I can confirm there have been no reports of any injuries as a result of the incident."
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said Scotland Yard would take the allegations "on the chin" ahead of a BBC documentary.
Speaking to journalists, he said: "If other people think we are institutionally racist, then we are. It's no good me saying we're not."
He added he believed that society as a whole was "institutionally racist".
The label "institutional racism" was first pinned to the Met 16 years ago by the Macpherson report into the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
It defined institutional racism as "the collective failure of an organisation to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their colour, culture or ethnic origin".
Each Met Commissioner since then has been asked, at various points during their tenure, whether that toxic phrase still applies to the force - and Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has answered the question several times.
His answer has remained the same: In essence he defers to the judgment of the public. Why? Because he's aware the Met, which has made improvements in race relations, must go further still, particularly in terms of its ability to recruit and retain more black and ethnic minority officers.
Film crews followed the force between September 2013 and September 2014.
During a press screening, Sir Bernard said he also accepted that more black men were stopped and searched when compared with other groups.
He said: "You're very much more likely to be stopped and searched if you're a young black man... I can give you reasons, but I can't fully explain it."
He added: "I think society is institutionally racist. You see lack of representation in many fields of which the police are one, from judges, to doctors, to journalists, to editors, to governments."
The filming also coincided with the inquest into Mark Duggan's death.
The 29-year-old was fatally shot by police in Tottenham in August 2011, sparking riots across the country.
The documentary follows Ch Supt Victor Olisa, a black officer, who was brought in as Haringey's borough commander following Mr Duggan's death.
He told the film crew he had faced "more battering" in Haringey with a "sizeable number of black African community" than when he worked in a "borough where there was a sizeable number of BNP people".

A female employee at the environmental think-tank The Energy and Resources Institute (Teri) had accused him last year of harassment.
Accusations by a second employee last month caused widespread outrage.
Mr Pachauri, who has denied the allegations against him, stepped down from the UN panel last year.
In February, he was forced to go on indefinite leave by Teri after the latest accusations.
On Tuesday, charges running into more than 1,400 pages were filed in the court of metropolitan magistrate Shivani Chauhan in Delhi, the Press Trust of India reported.
Mr Pachauri has been accused of sexual harassment, stalking and criminal intimidation, the agency said.
The charges relate to accusations made by the first woman. The magistrate has said she will hear the case on 23 April.

The scheme started on Monday, but with no agreement yet in place for French police to patrol vessels in UK waters, they arrived by helicopter and boarded a ferry as it approached France.
The two governments are in talks about French officers patrolling for full crossings, France's marine police said.
The Home Office said security plans were under "constant review".
French authorities told the BBC no timeline had been set for an agreement to be reached.
Speaking to the AFP news agency, French marine police spokesman Lieutenant Pierre-Joachim Antona said a "permanent unit" had been deployed since Monday to carry out high-visibility patrols on passenger ferries.
"The marine gendarmes will carry out patrols, which will be random but regular, with the aim of securing these vessels against the terrorist threat," he said.
The first patrol took place on Monday, when three French sea marshals arrived on the Brittany Ferries vessel Mont St Michel by helicopter.
A Brittany Ferries spokesman said the vessel left Portsmouth for Caen in France at 14:45 BST and, in a "pre-scheduled security exercise", the marshals were flown on to the boat at 17:30.
"They then proceeded to patrol the bridge and passenger areas of the vessel," he said.
He added: "Passengers were informed via announcements in English and French before the exercise took place.
"Access to outside decks was not allowed at the time of the helicopter's arrival."
Professor Andrew Serdy, a maritime law expert at Southampton University, said French police have "no jurisdiction" in UK territorial waters, except by agreement with the British government.
But he said airlifting officers showed an "abundance of caution" - and suggested France may be "treading carefully" until a deal with the UK is agreed.
Outside of UK and French territorial waters - which stretch up to 12 nautical miles from the countries' coasts - Prof Serdy said jurisdiction would depend on where a vessel was registered.
Brittany Ferries' 10 vessels are all "French-flagged", meaning French police could operate on them outside territorial waters.
It is not clear whether the French police's plan includes non-French vessels, such as UK-flagged ferries arriving in France.
The UK Home Office did not comment on the talks with French officials.
"We work extremely closely with our French counterparts on matters related to security and counter-terrorism," a spokesman said.
"We keep security arrangements, including those related to maritime security, under constant review."
The French police plan comes in the wake of several attacks in European countries including France.
Last month there were lengthy delays for UK passengers heading to the port of Dover due to increased security checks at French border posts.
The 35-year-old midfielder is coming to the end of his 11th season at the club and has a testimonial on 4 June.

Carrick joined United from Tottenham in an £18.6m deal in 2006.
He has made 457 appearances in all competitions, putting him 17th on United's all-time list, and scored 24 goals.
The former England international has won five Premier League titles, the Champions League, an FA Cup and two League Cups during his time at Old Trafford.
The city council said it had earned £4.72m between April 2016 and April 2017.
The RAC Foundation warned money being made from fines should not be seen as "a mark of success".
But the local authority stressed provisional figures showed it made just £390,325 profit, as the majority of the money went on enforcement costs.
According to the council, the average amount of money made in each quarter was £1.2m.
It received the most income between October and December 2016, a total of £1.4m.
A spokesman from the RAC Foundation said: "Councils shouldn't regard large sums of money being made from fines as a mark of success but possibly a symptom of things going wrong.
"Are the rules imposed on drivers fair and transparent? Why are so many motorists finding themselves on the wrong side of the law?
"It is hard to believe that people entering the city are purposefully setting out to wrack up big fines."
Matthew Wakelam, the council's head of infrastructure and operations, who manages the scheme, said the costs to deliver services were "often overlooked".
"These provisional figures - which will be audited - clearly show that the net financial gain for the last year is well under half a million pounds," he said.
"We ask all road users to abide by the Highway Code so we can keep Cardiff moving, reduce congestion and further improve public transport infrastructure across the city."
Yovan Garcia accessed payroll records at Security Specialists, which provides private security patrols, to inflate the number of hours he had worked.
He later hacked the firm's servers to steal data and defaced its website.
District Judge Michael Fitzgerald said Garcia had used the stolen data to help set up a rival business.
Security Specialists first noticed issues with Mr Garcia's pay records in July 2014, about two years after he joined.
In one example, they showed he had worked 12 hours per day over a two-week period and was owed 40 hours of overtime pay, when in fact he only worked eight hours per day.
According to the Central District Court of California, Mr Garcia had obtained login credentials - without ever having been given them - and accessed the records without authorisation.
Judge Fitzgerald said: "As a result, defendant Garcia was paid thousands of dollars more in overtime wages than he was really owed."
This led to his sacking, but soon afterwards he hacked Security Specialists' servers with "at least one other individual".
Mr Garcia took emails and other confidential data to "lure away" Security Specialists' clients to his new business, the judge said.
He also deleted or corrupted back-up files creating "debilitating" damage, according to the company.
A few days later, Security Specialists' website was also vandalised, with the website's header being changed to read "Are you ready".
An "unflattering picture" of a senior member of staff was also published on the site, Judge Fitzgerald said.
He ordered Mr Garcia to pay $318,661.70 to cover costs to Security Specialists such as lost income and lost data.
Mr Garcia could also be liable to pay the firm's legal costs at a later date, he said.
Wykeham House School in Fareham could close at the end of the Autumn term after being open for 100 years.
A statement from the school said: "The school is working hard with families to help find them alternative school places."
Both the boys' and girls' school sites face closure, the school said.
Wykeham House School was founded in 1913 and was originally a girls' school.
In a statement the school said: "'Due to increasing financial pressure, Wykeham House School in Fareham is facing the prospect of closure at the end of the Autumn term.
"The Board of Trustees are confident that the school will be continuing at least until the end of the term and the school is working hard with families to help find them alternative school places.
"With regards to the boys' school, although they are on separate sites and are taught separately, they are part of the same organisation so this news applies to both sites."

Christine Lagarde told the BBC the Brexit process would be complicated.
She said that although the UK economy had performed more strongly than the IMF had predicted, uncertainty over the terms of the deal "is always a risk".
Any deal with the EU will "not be as good" as membership, she said.
"When you belong to a club, whatever that is, the members of the club have a degree of affinity and particular terms under which they operate," Ms Lagarde told me at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
"Someone outside the club has different access."
I asked her if she agreed with the Prime Minister of Malta, Joseph Muscat, that any future UK/EU agreement "necessarily needs to be inferior to membership".
Malta presently holds the rotating presidency of the EU.
"If being part of a club is optimising and leveraging your membership [leaving the club] would not be as good, yes," she said.
Ms Lagarde welcomed the prime minister's speech on Tuesday - saying that Britain wanted to leave the single market - for providing clarity.
"Better clarity, less uncertainty is certainly better for the UK economy and for the rest of the European Union," she said.
But she warned that there were still many questions to be answered.
"The terms under which the [agreement] will be facilitated, over what period of time - question mark," she said.
"Over what kind of transition period - question mark.
"It is only when those questions are better clarified that we will understand how the UK economy is going to pan out.
"We are still of the view that it will not be positive all along and without pain."
Before the referendum result, Ms Lagarde said a vote to leave the EU would have consequences ranging from "quite bad to very, very bad".
Since the referendum, the UK economy has performed strongly and the IMF has admitted that it was too pessimistic.
Earlier this week, the IMF upgraded Britain's growth forecast for 2017.
I asked Ms Lagarde if her "quite bad to very, very bad" analysis was wrong.
She said that the Bank of England's decision to cut interest rates after the referendum had supported the economy and that consumers had remained far more confident than expected.
But she said that there were still downside risks ahead.
"Once uncertainty clears and if people feel that their ability to set up shop in the UK and their ability to operate throughout the geographical area that is the European Union is not working as well as it did - the investment decision will change.
"In the same vein, if exports are subject to significant tariffs, restrictions and so on, the ability of the UK to activate that trade engine is going to be reduced.
"So while we have upgraded our forecast for 2017, we have downgraded for 2018."
The checks, introduced under the Obama administration, are believed to affect an estimated 75,000 people.
The bill now needs to the approved by the Senate and signed into law by President Donald Trump.
The House also voted on Thursday on Obama-era rules and regulations on the environment.
The background-check rules were introduced to provide information on the gun-buying history of people receiving benefits for mental disability.
But Republican lawmakers argued that the regulation reinforced negative stereotypes that people with mental disorders are dangerous.
"There is no evidence suggesting that those receiving disability benefits from the Social Security Administration are a threat to public safety," said Congressman Bob Goodlatte.
"Once an unelected bureaucrat unfairly adds these folks to the federal background check system, they are no longer able to exercise their Second Amendment right," he added.
The House voted 235 to 180 in favour of abandoning the rule.
Barack Obama has previously told the BBC that the failure to tackle gun control had been the greatest frustration of his presidency.
Separately, the Senate gave final approval to a measure eliminating a rule that prevents coal mining debris from being dumped into streams. Mr Trump is expected to sign the move.
Republicans argued that the coal mining rule threatens thousands of jobs and that other industry regulations were already in place.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell described the law as "an attack against coal miners and their families".
The interior department said the rule, announced in the final days of Barack Obama's presidency in December, was aimed at protecting 6,000 miles (10,000km) of streams.
Democrats said Thursday's vote was an attack on clean water and a clear win for large coal mining companies.
Republicans are expected to take a series of actions in the coming weeks to reverse years of what they consider to be excessive regulation under Mr Obama.
Rules on fracking are also being scrutinised along with a number of other regulations introduced during Mr Obama's final months in office.
Northern states are the focus, with both candidates due to appear in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Mr Trump believes a recent rise in polls can help him win states formally seen as Democratic strongholds.
Mrs Clinton will continue to use A-list supporters, buoyed by two polls on Sunday giving her a 4-5 point lead.
Latest on Sunday's campaigning
Sunday's campaign stops take Mrs Clinton to Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, while Mr Trump travels to Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
A new NBC/Wall St Journal opinion poll on Sunday suggested a four-point lead for Mrs Clinton.
The latest Washington Post/ABC tracking poll puts her lead at five points.
Mrs Clinton's latest A-list backer - in the wake of Beyonce, Jay Z and Katy Perry - will be basketball star LeBron James.
Mrs Clinton will appear with him in Cleveland, home town of his NBA champion Cavaliers.
She also plans to appear in Manchester, Ohio, with Khizr Khan, the father of a fallen US Muslim soldier, who delivered an emotional attack on Mr Trump at the Democratic National Convention.
Her first stop was in the mainly African American congregation of Mount Airy Church of God in Christ in Philadelphia.
African American turnout could be key in the election. Black clergy have begun a "souls to the poll" campaign to urge people to get out and vote.
More than 40 million early voters have already cast their ballots. Reports suggest many more Latino voters are turning out early in battleground states including Florida, Arizona and Nevada compared to past elections.
Mr Trump is heading into another marathon day of campaigning, hoping to further tighten the gap in states he now believes he can win.
In his first stop in Iowa, he said that if Mrs Clinton were elected there would be an "unprecedented constitutional crisis" over the allegations she faces over her handling of sensitive material during her time as secretary of state.
He cited new claims in the New York Post that Mrs Clinton had directed her maid to print out sensitive and classified emails for her to read at home.
Mrs Clinton has seen her lead slip following last week's FBI announcement that it was looking into emails that may be connected to her use of a private email server while secretary of state.
Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Mr Trump would keep up his breakneck speed right into election day on Tuesday, when he would visit Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina and New Hampshire.
Republican vice-presidential candidate Mike Pence said: "Our secret weapon is the American people who are saying 'enough is enough'."
Hillary Clinton's chief strategist, John Podesta, said on Sunday that she would focus on Nevada and Michigan, adding that if she won those two in particular, "Hillary Clinton is going to be the next president of the United States."
He said: "We're feeling very solid going into this last weekend."
Mr Podesta also accused Mr Trump of being an advocate of Russian foreign policy and rejecting the bipartisan US approach.
On Saturday evening, Mr Trump was briefly rushed off stage by Secret Service agents at a rally in Reno, Nevada, in a false alarm.
A man holding a sign saying Republicans Against Trump was tackled by security agents.
The Secret Service later confirmed that someone in front of the stage had shouted "gun", but that "upon a thorough search of the subject and the surrounding area, no weapon was found".
Austyn Crites, the man at the centre of the disturbance, said he was attacked when he brought out his sign.
"I keep repeating - I'm down, someone is trying to choke me - and I'm saying to these people; 'There is no gun, I just have a sign'," Mr Crites explained after the incident.

Khoung Lam was on an escorted shopping trip to Coryton from Whitchurch Hospital on 25 June 2015 when he put a belt around David Owen's neck.
But Mr Owen got free and placed the belt around Mr Lamb's neck instead. Mr Lam became unconscious and was later pronounced dead by paramedics.
Mr Owen was initially arrested but later released without charge.
At the start of what is expected to be a three-week inquest, coroner Chris Woolley said Mr Lam, who had a history of mental health problems, had been sectioned about two weeks before he died.
He said on the day he died, Mr Lam told his carer: "I'm off", before running away.
Police found him in a cafe but he broke loose from them as he was being escorted away.
He crossed into some nearby open land where he met Mr Owen and said to him: "What day do you want to die?", before putting a belt around his neck.
Mr Woolley said the inquest jury would hear evidence about the medical cause of death, the psychiatric care Mr Lam had received and the role of the police.
The inquest continues.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were tipped off that the body was in a vehicle in Heywood, shortly after 19:35 BST on Thursday.
Officers followed a car matching its description, which was seen in Claybank Street around 15:50, before it was found abandoned in nearby River Street.
A GMP spokesman said its inquiries were ongoing.
How did Jackson Hole - more than 2,000 miles west of Washington DC - become a favoured retreat for central bankers and economists from around the world?
Officially, the answer is work.
A regional branch of the US Federal Reserve hosts an annual conference each August at the Jackson Lake Lodge in the heart of Grand Teton National Park.
But as with the millions of other tourists who pass through the area every summer, nature was the original draw.
The Kansas City Federal Reserve, one of the US central bank's regional entities, started holding an annual conference in 1978. In the early years, the discussions focused on agriculture, but organisers had aspirations for a more high-profile event.
The hope was that the location - in the middle of a national park - might help woo then Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, who was known to be "fond of fly-fishing", the bank's history of the event recounts.
"I said we need a place for our next symposium (where) people can fish for trout," recalled Tom Davis, a former senior vice-president and head of economic research at the Kansas City Federal Reserve.
Mr Volcker accepted, but did reportedly raise questions about the distance.
"He said, 'Roger, how in the hell did you ever get to Jackson, Wyoming?'" former Federal Reserve president Roger Guffey said.
Indeed. Jackson Hole has been a haunt for plutocrats for decades.
John D. Rockefeller, heir to the Standard Oil fortune, vacationed there, famously buying up thousands of acres that eventually formed much of what is now Grand Teton National Park.
The valley counts actors Sandra Bullock and Harrison Ford among its homeowners. Celebrity sightings include Pippa Middleton, while singer James Blunt recorded the music video for his song Bonfire Heart in the area.
"It's one of the most beautiful spots in the United States and it is sometimes hard to tear oneself away from the views to go back inside and listen to more discussions about monetary policy," said economist Alan Auerbach of the University of California, Berkeley, who will be speaking at the conference this year.
The Federal Reserve knows the prime location is part of the conference's popularity, but officials are alert to any implication that the conference is just an excuse for a luxury escape.
"The symposium is not considered a vacation getaway," the bank insists in its materials. "Jackson Hole is well known for its many resorts catering to outdoors enthusiasts from around the world, but the symposium is held each year at the Lodge, which, in line with its National Park setting, does not have some accommodations commonly found at other sites, such as a spa, exercise room or salon. In fact, televisions are not available in the Lodge's rooms."
(The website of the hotel is a bit more enthusiastic, citing "all the amenities and guest services you would expect from a full-service resort".)
A spokesman for the Federal Reserve declined to reveal how much the event costs, what participants are charged or how it is kept within the venue's capacity limits.
The company that runs the Jackson Lake Lodge for the National Park Service also declined to comment on the event or how quickly the 300-plus rooms at the lodge get booked. (Cabins and camp sites are also a possibility.)
Nothing appeared to be available this weekend, but some rooms were going for about £270 a night at the start of September if you can stand a 14-hour flight from London, according to hotel booking websites.
Technically, the lodge, as a National Park Service facility, remains open to the public throughout the event.
In 2014, a group of green-shirted protesters crashed the party. They were convinced to return to meet with officials in a more formal capacity two years later.
The tiny town of Jackson, a 45-minute drive south from the hotel, sees about four million people pass through every summer. Visitors are such a reliable crowd that the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board focuses its promotion efforts on other seasons, says its boss, Kate Sollitt.
So while investors around the world may be alert to any hints given by Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen and European Central Bank president Mario Draghi on Friday, locals say it's practically a non-event.
"The majority of our community doesn't even know they're here," Ms Sollitt said.
This week especially bankers were eclipsed, as Jackson was one of the places in the US where the sun and the moon would fully overlap, said Gavin Fine, owner of Fine Dining Restaurant Group and Rendezvous Bistro, which he said has been patronised by former Federal Reserve chairs Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke among others.
"We were in the path of totality so we had an influx of hundreds of thousands of people," he said.
Still, when it comes to name recognition, Mr Fine says playing host to the Federal Reserve every year "doesn't hurt".
The governor of North Kivu province said the attackers had used heavy weapons in the raid on the jail in Beni.
At least eight of the dead are prison guards, Julien Paluku added. A curfew has been declared.
The identity of the attackers is not yet clear.
Local activist Teddy Kataliko said many self-defence militias, known as Mai-Mai groups, operated around Beni.
DR Congo has been in crisis since President Joseph Kabila refused to step down after his term ended last year.
The incident in Beni is the latest in a series of jailbreaks in the country.
Last month about 4,000 inmates escaped from a high security prison in the capital Kinshasa following an attack blamed on a separatist sect.
St Clement's Church, on Star Lane, has been closed since 1979 but is being transformed into Ipswich Arts Centre.
After two years of planning, the first night of live music took place as part of SPILL Festival of Performance.
Carol Gant, the centre's director, said it was "wonderful to hear the church filled with live music and singing again after so many years".
Dead Rat Orchestra, She Shanties, Cath & Phil Tyler, Documents and MacGillvray were on the line-up at the former church, which was built in the 15th Century.
Mrs Gant said about 200 people attended the gig.
"The audience and performers were so impressed by the way the voices echoed around the space. It was a wonderful night," she said.
"After 30 years of disuse" it was "a great moment for the town", Cad Taylor, part of the community interest company behind the centre, added.
Despite recently receiving permission to change the use of the church into a venue, the group is still fundraising to complete work at the centre.
It is currently asking people to back a bid for £25,000 from Aviva.
Dr Gethin Thomas, a coaching science lecturer, also believes children should be split by ability as young as possible.
The Irish and Welsh rugby unions suggest starting scrums at under-nine level; they start at under-10 in England and under-11 in Scotland.
But Dr Thomas said children should not be in scrums until they are 13.
The call comes after World Rugby's chief medical officer, Dr Martin Rafterty, said changes could be made to tackle laws in order to reduce the risk of concussion.
When it comes to tackling, the home nations are almost unanimous in the way they introduce it to young players.
They all begin with tag rugby and bring in tackling at under-nine level, except for Ireland, where they start contact a year earlier.
Dr Thomas, who lectures at Cardiff Metropolitan University and Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol, recently worked with the Rugby Football Union in England.
He said: "I wouldn't introduce scrums until 13 or 14 years old and when I spoke to a number of elite coaches, they agree.
"The same goes with lineouts - there's no reason to begin lineouts unless you can lift and individuals aren't strong enough to lift."
Last month, Wales and Worcester Warriors forward Jonathan Thomas was forced to retire from rugby on medical advice, after he was diagnosed with epilepsy thought to have resulted from multiple head traumas.
Wales wing George North also suffered from concussion in the run up to the World Cup, after suffering four blows to the head in a five-month period last season.
As well as changing days, it's also getting shorter in duration and it's getting a change in presenter as well.
Greg James will take over the hosting duties when it starts airing in his Friday show, which starts at 4pm.
At the moment it is fronted by Clara Amfo, who only stepped into the role in January having taken over from Jameela Jamil.
Newsbeat spoke to Radio 1 boss Ben Cooper, to find out what's going to happen when the new show starts in July.
It's big news. Radio 1's Official Chart Show is moving from Sunday between 4pm and 7pm to Friday between the hours of 4pm and 6pm.
Recently there was an announcement saying there were going to be global release dates. [At the moment] different countries around the world have different release dates.
They said it's all going to be on a Friday in every single country and then the Official Charts Company, which collates all that information, said they were now going to publish the chart on a Friday.
I don't want our audience to be 48 hours behind everyone else. I want them to hear the number one first on Radio 1.
I was trying to remember how long it's been on a Sunday. I was one of those kids with my fingers on record and pause, taping the top 40 on my cassette machine.
For over 30 years it's been on a Sunday. I think people are going to be shocked.
Radio 1 is changing. Our audiences are changing and we have to change to keep up with those audience activities.
The Official Chart Show is currently three hours but if you look at audience figures and you look at where the peaks are in terms of audience listening, you know that obviously the top 20 is more important than the top 40.
We'll reflect the top 40 but we'll actually be playing the top 20. We'll play a range of records between 40 and 20 but we're not going to play the whole of the top 40.
There are some records that hang around in the chart for weeks and weeks on end and we don't need to play those.
It'll be about the new music, the new entries, the ones that are rising up faster than anyone else. That will be condensed into a fantastic new two-hour show with Greg.
I just think this is going to give the chart new energy.
Clara has got the most amazing opportunity. [When Fearne Cotton leaves Radio 1, Clara will take over her mid-morning show.]
She has got the keys to the Live Lounge so I think she's very very happy.
You know from when you've heard Greg fill in for the Chart, he loves the Chart.
He's so excited about getting his hands on it and I think it's going to sound really fun, really energetic, really pacey and be full of the stars who are making the music of today.
On Sunday we'll have from 4pm to 7pm to play with. That's an opportunity to create a brand new show.
I'm working with the people at CBBC on creating something that will take some of the best content from their channel, and some of our great content, and really focusing on a young, teen audience.
I don't know yet. It's got a short commission so we're going to look at Jack and Dean and what they do with the Chart Bite, whether that continues or not, we shall have to see in the future.
The Chart Show has been going since 1967. It will continue to go until 2067 and beyond I believe.
There is always a human need to find out what music your friends and yourself love.
Curated playlists are the thing of the moment and this is the ultimate curated playlist. The Chart Show is exciting and it's just moving days - that's all.

The Sigurimi relied on a huge network of civilian informers to muzzle any dissent and maintain the communist regime in power for decades.
Communist leader Enver Hoxha seized power in 1944 and isolated Albania as a one-party state until mass protests in 1991, which led to democratisation.
The police destroyed many files, but others will disclose some dark secrets.
Former regime collaborators will also have access to the surviving documents.
Experts estimate that at least 7,000 opponents of the regime were killed and more than 100,000 deported to labour camps. The harsh conditions there often proved fatal.
The new law - passed by 84 votes to 22 - also bars former Sigurimi members from holding public office in future.
The top-level figure - that Scotland's population has grown to a record high of 5.37m - is no surprise. It's been growing steadily since 2000 and NRS statisticians predict it will continue to do so until at least 2039.
But beneath that top number is a huge amount of other data, contained in almost endless spreadsheets, which is published each year as part of the review.
The statistics paint a fascinating and occasionally surprising picture of Scotland - the state of the nation, as the NRS puts it.
Births, deaths and marriages are the bread and butter of the NRS's annual review.
1. The figures tell us there were 55,098 births and 57,579 deaths registered.
2. There were also 29,691 weddings and 1,671 of them were same-sex marriages.
3. Only 64 couples opted for a civil partnership last year - 33 of them male couples and 31 female couples.
4. Of the deaths, 1,150 were related to alcohol.
5. 147 men died in transport accidents, compared to 44 women.
6. There were 504 adoptions - the highest figure for 10 years
7. In 2014, there were 433,235 people in Scotland aged over 75.
8. NRS statisticians predict this figure will grow to more than 800,000 by 2039 - an increase of 85%.
9. If you were a woman aged 50 or 51 last year, there were more of you than anyone else.
10. Your life expectancy at birth in Glasgow was 73.4. In East Dunbartonshire, it was 80.7.
11. The average age at death last year was 76.9.
12. The area of Scotland with the fastest growing population over the last 10 years is East Lothian - up 11.1%.
13. Argyll & Bute and Inverclyde are the fastest shrinking - both down 3.8%.
14. 24 is the most common age for people to leave Scotland. The destination for 2,060 of you last year was elsewhere in the UK, with 1,011 going abroad.
15. If you're aged 90 or more and moved to Scotland from overseas last year, there are seven others who did just that.
Emily McBride and her partner Thomas Carson were on their way to Royal Stoke University Hospital when their car ground to a halt.
The couple from Stone were picked up by officers from Staffordshire Police who took them to hospital in the back of their patrol vehicle.
But before Emily could make it out of the car, she gave birth to baby Darcey.
Darcey Carson McBride was delivered by hospital staff on the back seat of the car at 08:56 GMT on Friday weighing 6lb 9oz (2.98kg).
Both were then admitted to the delivery suite.
The police force said: "Staffordshire Police send their very best wishes to Emily, Thomas and Darcey."
Thanking the officers for getting her to hospital safely, Ms McBride said: "I'm really grateful, they (Staffordshire Police) got us there in time, if it wasn't for them, I would have been giving birth in traffic."
Linebacker Ray Lewis, 37, recently announced that he would retire at the end of the season and his team-mates were determined not to let him down in his final home appearance.
While the Ravens' defence did well to stop the Colts' rookie quarterback Andrew Luck - who has more than lived up to the pressures associated with being the number one draft pick - it was his opposite number Joe Flacco who emerged victorious.
That Flacco did was largely down to a spectacular performance from his main target, Anquan Boldin. The wide receiver broke the team's record with five catches for 145 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter which sealed a 24-9 victory for the Ravens.
Baltimore will next travel to Denver to face the AFC's top-seeded Broncos, who had earned the right to a bye through the wild card weekend.
Next weekend's other AFC divisional round game brings together the Houston Texans and the New England Patriots.
Thanks to some stifling defence, the Texans were never really in danger at home to the Cincinnati Bengals.
While they struggled to convert possession into points, Arian Foster ran for 140 yards and a touchdown as they ran out 19-13 winners.
In the NFC, Green Bay managed to contain Minnesota's chief threat, Adrian Peterson, to convincingly win the all-NFC North encounter 24-10.
It was sweet revenge for the Packers, whose 37-34 loss in the final week of the regular season to the Vikings deprived the former of a bye week and guaranteed the latter a place in the play-offs.
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers kept the visitors' defence on their toes throughout, finding 10 different receivers as he completed 23 of 33 passes for 274 yards and one passing touchdown.
Meanwhile Peterson, who last week fell just short of breaking Eric Dickerson's 1984 record for the most rushing yards in a season, was limited to 99 yards from his 22 carries.
The Packers will head west to face the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, 12 January for a place in the NFC Championship game, which will also feature the winner of Sunday's match-up between the Seattle Seahawks and the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons.
In a match hyped as being a duel between rookie quarterbacks, Seattle's Russell Wilson came out on top against the Washington Redskins' Robert Griffin III.
But that tells only half the story, as an already injured Griffin - widely known as RG3 - was eventually forced out of the game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury.
The Seahawks had earlier responded well to a nightmare first quarter in which Griffin threw a pair of touchdown passes to Logan Paulsen and Evan Royster.
But from 14-0 down, the visitors never looked back, scoring 24 unanswered points thanks to some solid defence and inspired play by Wilson and running-back Marshawn Lynch.
Lynch ran for a touchdown and 132 yards from his 20 carries, while Wilson completed 15 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown.
His performance was typified in the fourth quarter when, having handed the ball off to Lynch, he charged downfield before throwing a brilliant block to allow his team-mate to score.
That gave the Seahawks the lead for the first time and, less than a minute later, the game was all but over when Griffin's knee buckled as he tried to field a bad shotgun snap, the pain so bad that he did not even try to recover the ball.
Dr Rowan Williams says he's worried by news that half as many children know the prayer compared with 40 years ago.
He said: "I'd like to see schools introducing children to the Lord's Prayer, so that they know that it's there, they know what it means and know why it matters.
"Then they may make up their minds about whether they use it."
To mark 40 years since Newsround was first broadcast, the programme surveyed over 1,000 children aged 6-12 and 1,000 adults who'd have been that age 40 years ago, and compared the answers.
The results suggest that children today are twice as likely to say that religion is important to them compared with 40 years ago - but they are now half as likely to know the text of the Lord's Prayer.
Speaking to Newsround, Dr Williams said: "The Lord's Prayer isn't a very big or complicated thing.
"It's not as if you have to learn pages on end of things in a strange language. There are modern language versions of it.
"I don't think it's too difficult to introduce children to this and introduce it in plain language and say not 'You've got to pray this,' but this is something that's really, really important to lots and lots of people and can change their lives."
It is a major cemetery of the Wari culture, a civilisation which flourished in the Andes between the seventh and the 12th Century.
The site was discovered by Julio Tello and Toriba Mejia Xesspe in 1925. The two Peruvian archaeologists found more than 300 bundles containing mummies.
Heavily looted by grave diggers in the 1980s and 90s, Huaca Malena is now looked after by archaeologist Rommel Angeles Falcon.
Helen Soteriou travelled to Huaca Malena to speak to him about his work watching over the dead.
The area around Huaca Malena, located in a valley about 4km (2.5 miles) from the coast, is believed to have been inhabited by an ancient agricultural society as far back as 2,000 BC.
Centuries later it became one of the most important burial places for the Wari, a pre-Columbian society living in parts of what are now Peru, Colombia and Chile and considered to be one of the first great empires of the Andes,
Thousands of Wari fabrics and tapestries have been found at here, indicating that those buried in Huaca Malena were of high rank.
Many of the woven fabrics were abandoned by grave robbers, locally known as huaqueros.
Rommel Angeles Falcon says the bones found in Huaca Malena are exceptionally well preserved.
He says the main challenge for the archaeologist working here is not a race against the elements - as the desert conditions preserve the bones well - but one to keep the grave robbers away.
They appear on nights with a full moon, and with bribes of alcohol, cigarettes or coca leaves gain access to the site.
If their spade hits the hard surface of a tomb, they will dig it up and take anything inside that they think may be of value.
Most of the 4,000 textiles found by archaeologists at the site are believed to have been discarded by grave robbers.
It is impossible to know how many were originally there.
"They don't respect anything," Mr Falcon says.
Some of the textiles not looted from Huaca Malena have been taken to the Municipal Museum in the nearby village of Capilla de Asia.
Mr Falcon holds the key and shows me around.
The museum does not have the funds to meet the conservation and restoration needs for the textiles, so the team behind it has created an adopt-a-textile project, trying to get members of the public to donate enough to ensure their preservation.
Mr Falcon explains that textiles are one of the finest legacies from the Wari. They are characterised by geometric patterns depicting animals and human forms.
Some are believed to have been worn as tunics by the Wari men, but there are also some well-preserved bags used and feather head pieces at display at the small museum.
Mr Falcon knows that the Huaca Malena site and the small municipal museum in Capilla de Asia cannot compete with such well-known tourist draws as the Inca trail or the Machu Picchu.
But he is adamant small sites like this one should not be ignored, especially as the Wari artefacts and fabrics found here actually predate those of the Incas, giving the visitor a rare glimpse into the lives, and above all, death rites of a little-known culture.
But a criminal probe is indeed continuing into alleged corruption at Brazil's largest business.
A number of directors at state-run Petrobras are accused of taking bribes from construction companies, in return for awarding them lucrative contracts.
Public prosecutors and federal police claim that bribes of up to 5% of contract values were being skimmed off.
And it is further alleged that some of these funds were funnelled to officials in the ruling coalition of the Workers' Party and Brazilian Democratic Movement Party.
In the wake of the continuing investigation, the federal prosecutor's office has launched a three-month, economy-wide anti-corruption campaign, including increased punishments for those found guilty, and improvements to the recovery of the proceeds of crime.
But as the Petrobras scandal continues to dominate the headlines in Brazil, how much of a corruption problem does the country have?
The Petrobras investigation, named Operation Lava Jato (or Car Wash in English), may be the biggest corruption probe in Brazil's history, but it is far from the first.
Instead for many commentators, corruption is endemic and institutionalised in Brazil.
Take the case of former billionaire Eike Batista, once the richest man in the country.
He fell from grace last year after his energy, mining and shipbuilding empire collapsed, and he was charged with insider trading and market manipulation, charges he denies.
Standing trial this year, the case was suspended back in February after the presiding judge - who had ordered the seizure of 1.5bn reals ($388m; £252m) of the businessman's assets - was found to be driving one of Mr Batista's luxury cars.
Separately, Mr Batista, 58, who was once worth as much as $30bn (£20bn), was fined 1.4m Brazilian reals in March by regulators for failing to alert investors about the imminent takeover of his EBX Group.
Meanwhile, both Brazilian investigators, and the US's FBI, are continuing to investigate allegations of corruption at last year's World Cup in Brazil.
"Unfortunately, despite the importance and the recurrence of the subject, ethics is not yet in fact valued by a large number of companies operating in Brazil," says Douglas Linhares Flinto, founder and president of the Brazilian Institute of Business Ethics.
A non-profit pressure group, it was set up back in 2003.
Mr Flinto adds: "Many businesses can talk about ethics, and even highlight it in the list of the company's values hung on the wall and emphasized on the website.
"However, corporate actions prove that ethics is not a value to be pursued and used on a daily basis.
"And this is the biggest problem of the business world - the inconsistency in which many companies preach and act."
One of the factors behind prevalent corruption in Brazil is the high level of bureaucracy in the country, according to Transparency International, the global organisation that monitors the problem.
It says that companies in Brazil face a number of regulatory hurdles to do business, which opens up opportunities for bribery.
Separately, a 2009 survey by the World Bank Group found that almost 70% of Brazilian business owners and managers said corruption was a major obstacle.
Yet despite such findings, the Brazilian government says it is working hard to tackle the issue.
It points to a new Anti-Corruption Law that came into force last year, and highlights the continuing investigations into Petrobras and Mr Batista as a sign of the renewed efforts.
Inspired by the new law, a think tank called the Brazil Compliance Institute was set up last December by lawyer Sylvia Urquiza.
It aims to promote best practice and help companies meet their duties under the new regulations, and has been backed by the International Business School of Sao Paulo and Candido Mendes University.
Google's compliance director, Camila von Ancken, and Ana Leao, compliance manager at global drinks giant Diageo are among the experts who have worked with the institute.
Mrs Urquiza says: "Managers' accountability for irregularities committed in the name of the company, attitudes that can mitigate punishment, suggestions of good practices... are some of the points that the institute clarifies.
"[We do this] through workshops, lectures and meetings."
Petrobras has also increased efforts to prevent misconduct, and late last year issued a new code of conduct.
It has also developed ethics courses for staff, as well as introducing more stringent controls on the management of suppliers.
A Petrobras spokeswoman says: "[Supplier] companies must provide detailed information on structure, finance and compliance mechanisms and combating fraud and corruption, among other things, being evaluated by the process known as Due Diligence of Integrity.
"The aim is to increase safety on the procurement of goods and services and mitigate risks related to fraud and corrupt practices."
Back at the Brazilian Institute of Business Ethics, Mr Flinto says that despite the recent controversies, he is hopeful that the country may now be changing for the better, and that the recent high profile scandals will lead to better standards in the future.
"All this is turning a page in the history of my country and, more than that, it will be a milestone in the improvement of ethical standards of government and companies, and an entire society that can, in a short time, reach the strict standards of more developed nations," he says.
"I am convinced that ethics is coming to Brazil to stay. Brazil will never be the same."
A London primary school may issue face-masks to its pupils. The council in Cornwall may take the extreme step of moving people out of houses beside the busiest roads.
Four major cities - Paris, Athens, Mexico City and Madrid - plan to ban all diesels by 2025.
Stuttgart, in Germany, has already decided to block all but the most modern diesels on polluted days.
In India's capital, Delhi, often choked with dangerous air, a jet engine may be deployed in an experimental and desperate attempt to create an updraft to disperse dirty air.
The World Health Organization calculates that as many as 92% of the world's population are exposed to dirty air - but that disguises the fact that many different forms of pollution are involved.
For the rural poor, it is fumes from cooking on wood or dung indoors.
For shanty-dwellers in booming mega-cities, it is a combination of traffic exhaust, soot and construction dust.
In developed countries, it can be a mix of exhaust gas from vehicles and ammonia carried on the wind from the spraying of industrial-scale farms.
In European cities, where people have been encouraged to buy fuel-efficient diesels to help reduce carbon emissions, the hazard is from the harmful gas nitrogen dioxide and tiny specks of pollution known as particulates.
The first step is to understand exactly where the air is polluted and precisely how individuals are affected - and the results can be extremely revealing.
Scientists at the University of Leicester are trialling a portable air monitor to gather precise data at a personal scale.
We watched as volunteer, Logan Eddy, 14, carried the device in a specially adapted backpack that recorded details of the air he was exposed to.
Exactly where he walked was then displayed as lines on an electronic map, the colour of those lines conveying how unhealthy the air was at different points.
It was much worse than WHO guidelines where he had waited to cross a busy junction, strikingly cleaner in a side-street but then almost off the scale in a sheltered spot beside an arcade of shops where a car was parked with its engine idling.
Seeing a graphic display of how pollution can vary so dramatically changed Logan's view of air, and his friends adjusted their behaviour immediately.
"The people who found out have stopped waiting right near the buses after school for their friends," he says.
"They've been waiting… further away from the buses.
"It's obviously had an impact on them."
The personal monitor is one of a range of devices being deployed in Leicester to build up a detailed picture of where pollution hotspots form - and when.
In many cases, they can be short-lived, appearing during rush-hours when traffic jams develop.
For Prof Roland Leigh, of Leicester University, understanding precisely where and when vehicles slow to a crawl or stop will help manage the flow of traffic in a way that minimises the impact on the most vulnerable people - the young and the elderly.
"One of the things we can all do is to improve our transport systems so that our congested traffic is not queued up outside of primary schools and old people's homes but instead is queued in other parts of the city where there's going to be less harm," he says.
But what about tackling one of the main sources of the problem in the first place, the vehicles spewing out the pollutants?
In Europe, under pressure from regulators, the manufacturers have progressively cleaned up their engines over the past few decades - first to trap carbon monoxide and unburned fuel, then particulates and most recently nitrogen dioxide.
The latest European standard, Euro 6, requires vehicles to emit far less pollution than older models, but trust has inevitably been eroded after the car giant VW was caught cheating - using software that activated the emissions controls only during tests.
At Bath University, engineers use a "rolling road" and a robotic "driver" to put cars through realistic simulations of how they are normally used, to find out exactly what's released from the exhaust pipe.
They are also working to understand the trade-offs involved in cleaning up an engine.
For example, adding more pollution-trapping devices can add to fuel consumption, which means increased emissions of carbon dioxide, undermining efforts to tackle climate change.
And however good the latest standards, they still leave vast numbers of older vehicles out on the roads.
Hence the idea of a national scrappage scheme - to provide incentives to drivers to switch to a cleaner model.
It's attracting growing support from an unlikely coalition including the Federation of Small Business, London First, Greenpeace and the Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association.
The challenge, as ever, is to find the money to make this happen and to agree who should pay - taxpayers through government incentives or the vehicle owners themselves.
Prof Chris Brace, an automotive engineer of Bath University, says; "Whichever way you approach it, you are asking people to spend more in taxation or more to buy new vehicles, and we need to decide whether that's something we're comfortable with as a society."
Some awkward choices lie ahead.
Will the parents of an asthmatic child dig deep in their pockets to switch to a cleaner car?
Will new housing developments include charging points for electric cars?
Will the money saved from a fuel-efficient diesel be seen as worth sacrificing for the sake of better air for everyone?
And bear in mind that these are "First World" questions.
In the rapidly growing cities of Africa, and many parts of Asia, there is hardly any monitoring of pollution at all, let alone political will or money to tackle it.
A week of coverage by BBC News examining possible solutions to the problems caused by air pollution.
This time of year can get pretty busy with many different tests taking place, including Sats in England this month.
You might be feeling under a bit more pressure than usual with the extra revision work. But fear not, Newsround is here to help.
Hayley has five top tips to help you feel calmer and more confident.
Everyone learns things differently and some people find things easier than others.
Choose a revision plan that works best for you. If your friends are different, then that's fine.
What works well for one person might not work well for another.
It could be a friend, a teacher or your family.
Don't feel like you're letting people down by admitting you are feeling stressed.
They will be happy you shared your feelings with them, and will hopefully help you to feel better.
Taking your mind off things will help give your brain time to process all the information you are learning.
So switch off your phone or grab a drink from the kitchen.
You could go for a walk or even just close your eyes and relax for a few minutes.
It's important to try to eat well and get lots of sleep during the lead-up to a test.
If you don't give your mind a rest or the right fuel it might not work as well as it could.
Whether you are playing football, going for a walk or a run, dancing, or even just riding your bike, exercise can really help to take your mind off things.
It should help you stay focused and give you more energy!
An article published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found a reduction of 0.6% of body mass through water loss can affect people's abilities.
The study tested participants' mood and memory after sitting in a heated room.
It was carried out by the university's college of human and health sciences.
Previous research found a loss of 2% can affect ability to function properly - but this typically applied to athletes undergoing extended periods of activity or someone who has gone without fluids for some time.
The latest research focused on much lower levels of water loss people experience in day-to-day life.
The mood and memory of participants was tested before and after sitting in a room heated to 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) for four hours.
"Roughly 60% of our body is made up of water, and this level is continually fluctuating, largely due to water loss through urine and sweat," said Prof David Benton.
"Our research found that when losing only 0.6% of our body mass, there were noticeable effects on an individual's memory, attention and mood."
Dr Benton said it was important people keep hydrated during the warm summer months, especially children who lose water quicker and are reliant on adults giving them drinks.
A statement on the Manchester band's Facebook page said they were "absolutely devastated" by the loss of "our brother".
Gill was one of the founding members of the group, which he formed in Oldham in the 1980s alongside guitarist Graham Lambert.
The group's hits included Joe, This Is How It Feels, She Comes In The Fall, Dragging Me Down and Saturn 5.
Gill, who DJed at The Hacienda nightclub, was also a music historian and ran music-themed tours around Greater Manchester.
The band, which was pivotal in the so-called Madchester scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s, said it had been "honoured to work alongside him for the last 30 years".
In a statement, Gill's band mates said: "To say we'll miss him is an understatement.
"He was the beating heart of the Inspirals in more ways than one."
No details of his death have been released.
All four members of the band - guitarist Lambert, keyboard player Clint Boon, singer Stephen Holt and bass player Martyn Walsh - tweeted their thoughts.
Former lead singer Tom Hingley wrote it was "terrible, sad news".
To everyone who knew him and the legions of Inspirals fans, he was just Gilly - passionate about Manchester, always asking about new bands and educating people about the city's rich musical heritage.
His hugely popular tours had visitors from far and wide and he had total joy on his face when proudly telling stories of Liam Gallagher's record-buying trips or Joy Division gathering on a bridge in the snow to create an iconic image - or indeed, tales of himself, as a young teenager in his beloved Inspiral Carpets.
He travelled the world with the band, notching up more than 10 top 40 singles and three top ten albums - winning an army of followers along the way.
A young lad from Chadderton who made an impression on people from all over the world, he will be sorely missed.
BBC News entertainment correspondent, Colin Paterson, said the news had come "absolutely out of the blue".
Fellow Mancunian musicians also tweeted their shock.
Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, whose brother Noel was a roadie for Inspiral Carpets, tweeted he was "stunned", while The Charlatans' singer Tim Burgess wrote the news had left him "so sad".
Former New Order bass player Peter Hook tweeted: "Craig Gill was 1 of happiest smiliest people I'd ever met in this business. Saw him not long ago his usual happy self, can't believe it. RIP".
Inspiral Carpets were very much a part of the Madchester scene. Happy Mondays discovered them, early on they supported The Stone Roses and even helped the next wave of Manchester music by employing Noel Gallagher as their roadie.
Craig Gill joined them in 1986 at the age of 14 after meeting them in a car park when their drummer had not turned up for a gig. By 1989 they made up a tenth of John Peel's Festive Fifty - his annual list of favourite singles. The following year This Is How It Feels took them into the Top 20 and on to Top of The Pops.
Their debut album, Life, was only kept from the top of the albums charts by a Carpenters compilation. That August came what would be their peak - headlining The Reading Festival. In a memorable moment Craig Gill's drumming intro to She Comes In The Fall, was supplemented on stage by a full military marching band.
So big was Madchester at this time that they were even asked to provide the theme tune to the BBC Saturday morning kids TV show "The 8:15 From Manchester."
There would be two more Top 10 albums before they were dropped by their record company and split-up. Later there were reunions and the band continued to tour.
They hoped they had seen the back of the unwelcomed intruder that devastated hundreds of homes and businesses in 2009. They hoped the construction in 2013 of a £4.4m scheme - including the UK's first self-closing flood barriers - would have prevented such scenes from being repeated in their lifetime.
It did not. Why?
"The defences worked but the amount of rain, and the water in the river, overtopped them," explained Environment Agency director of flood and coastal risk, Alison Baptiste.
"Whenever we build defences, we build them to a certain height but that does not mean that will prevent flooding because you can always get water levels higher than that, in which case it will go over the top."
That is what has happened in Cockermouth, Carlisle and Keswick, she told BBC News.
Ms Baptiste explained the height of a flood defence was determined by a number of factors: "We aim to provide the best possible protection for a community that can be justified technically and economically and actually fits within the community.
"You could build walls higher and higher but that would effectively cut the community off from the river, meaning people would not be able to enjoy the river and the environment in which they live, which - most of the time - is flood-free."
When designing flood defences and their location, she said the agency used complex evidence-based computer modelling to help them understand how floods in an area would behave.
Once at-risk communities have been identified, the Environment Agency then has to prioritise where to build the defences.
"Through our modelling and our mapping, we identify the communities that are at risk. Those that are at highest risk are the ones we prioritise first," she explained.
As well as considering the number of homes and the economic activity in an at-risk area, the agency also considers the type of flooding - for example those in 2004 in Boscastle, Cornwall.
"It is a tiny community but the flooding was very deep and there was significant risk to life, so we also take that into account. It is not just the number of houses and the economic activity in an area, but also the impact on infrastructure and the risk to life."
The impact of Storm Desmond was exacerbated because the "exceptional" levels of rain fell on to already saturated land, the Met Office explained.
It said Honister in the Lake District, Cumbria, recorded 13.4 in (341.4 mm) of rain in just 24 hours, a record amount for the UK, beating the previous record set in November 2009.
This resulted in a vast volume of water running off the surrounding hills into the area's river systems, overwhelming communities' flood defences, even those recently improved after damaging floods less than a decade ago.
Royal Academy of Engineering fellow Prof Jim Hall said this was a reason for concern.
"The worrying aspect of these floods is that they are causing such severe damage even after major steps had been taken to improve the flood defences in Carlisle and Cockermouth and to improve the resilience of the nation's electricity infrastructure," he said.
"We know that there is always a chance that flood defences can be exceeded in the most extreme floods. Storm Desmond means that we will have to re-evaluate standards of flood defence and then think again about what needs to be done to reduce the risk of major damage and disruption to flood-prone communities."
One method being explored is natural flood management. This approach is designed to reduce the flow of rainwater from surrounding hills into river systems, easing the pressure on defences further downstream.
The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 encouraged local authorities and land owners to consider this novel approach.
"With increasing changes in weather patterns and more frequent severe storms, we need to look at bigger opportunities to create more water storage further up our river catchments," said Roger Falconer, professor of water management at Cardiff University.
"These might include small dams in the headlands or working with farmers to build embankments around fields to store water during the winter months when cattle are housed indoors."
In urban areas, large areas - such as roofs, roads and driveways - are impermeable to water. The 2010 Act recognised the need for developers to landscape areas in a way that this water is absorbed into open ground rather than overwhelming drainage systems.
David Wilkes, global flood resilience leader at Arup, a built-environment consultancy, said that even with the best defences, it was not possible to stop all floods.
"It would be almost impossible and disproportionately expensive to build flood defences to protect against every conceivable storm," he told BBC News.
"But we can reduce and manage the risks and create resilient towns and cities, even if they are not completely resistant to flooding. Adaptations such as flood relief channels, hinged boardwalks that rise and fall with the water level, or even elevated housing with floors that "float up" to allow floodwater in and out quickly without causing structural damage.
"These may seem extreme but may be strategies we need to adopt to protect against climate change, because the impact is devastating for those affected as it disrupts our homes and way of life."
For businesses and homeowners in at-risk areas, the Environment Agency - via the gov.uk website - offers practical advice on how people can protect their homes and businesses from flooding, including an interactive guide on ways to reduce flood damage.
It also offers advice on how to develop a "flood plan" and what you and your neighbours need to do once a flood warning has been issued for your area.
The National Flood Forum, a charity that is dedicated to representing people living in areas at risk from flooding, has produced the "blue pages", which is an independent directory of flood protection products.
The Brixham Express catamaran was due to begin operating in December 2014 but was delayed because of safety certificate issues, its owners said.
Stand-in ferries ran for the first five months and were subsidised with a government grant of £544,000, equivalent to £170 per passenger.
Brixham Express said services will begin after further inspections.
The ferry was waiting for a safety certificate in Donegal, Ireland, from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), its owners said.
The MCA said it had been "awaiting confirmation" that defects had been rectified.
Since last April, the ferry firm has been running a 35-seater boat between Torquay and Brixham instead of the promised catamaran.
Mary O'Driscoll, of Brixham Express, said: "Before [the catamaran goes] into service she will need further inspections by the authorities and also familiarisation with the crew.
"As soon as she is fit for service we will have very exciting opening offers to allow the public to enjoy the commute."
Brixham shopkeeper Helen Meacock said: "It's arrived too late and I think it's going to struggle.
"People have been waiting more than a year and a half for this service and it really isn't good enough."
But, cafe owner Clive Higgins said: "It's a positive thing for Brixham - anyone who gets people moving around the bay is a good thing, if it's used properly."
The reunion, comprising a series of meetings over a week, will be held in a Mount Kumgang resort, near the border.
Thousands of families have been separated with little or no contact since the war ended in 1953.
Reunions have been held sporadically since 1988 and depend on the state of relations between the two countries.
The last reunion was held in February 2014.
This year's meeting comes after an agreement in August that de-escalated tensions sparked by a border explosion that injured South Korean soldiers.
The meetings, organised by the Red Cross, are hugely popular with tens of thousands signing up, but few on each side get chosen and they tend to be elderly.
It is hard to imagine a more bitter-sweet event. The reunion of Korean families who have not seen each other for six decades will be a tumultuous mix of emotions.
There will probably be both tears and laughter as old people divided from those they have not seen for most of their lifetimes get a brief and final meeting.
More than 65,000 South Koreans were eligible for reunions with relatives in the North but only 100 were chosen. Of those hundred, 10 have since died or become too ill to travel.

In South Korea participants are picked at random by a computer which takes into account their age and family background.
They also have to sit for interviews and take medical examinations to determine if they are fit to travel.
The first group of about 400 South Koreans, comprising of chosen participants and their accompanying family members, are heading for the first round of meetings running from Tuesday to Thursday, reported Yonhap news agency.
Another 250 will attend the second round of meetings from Saturday to next Monday. Each round comprises of six two-hour sessions.
Many of those attending from South Korea are bringing gifts for their North Korean relatives such as clothes, food, toothpaste, and cash.
Grum's control servers were mainly based in Panama, Russia and Ukraine.
Security company FireEye and spam-tracking service SpamHaus worked with local internet service providers (ISPs) to shut down the illegal network.
A botnet is a network of computers that has been hijacked by cybercriminals, usually by using malware.
"Grum's takedown resulted from the efforts of many individuals,"
wrote Atif Mushtaq
, a security researcher with FireEye.
"This collaboration is sending a strong message to all the spammers: Stop sending us spam. We don't need your cheap Viagra or fake Rolex."
Mr Mushtaq wrote that on Monday he learned that a Dutch server involved in Grum had been shut down. He said it "at least made a dent" in the botnet.
On Tuesday, the command and control servers (CnCs) in Panama had been shut down.
"This good news was soon followed by some bad news," he explained.
"After seeing that the Panamanian server had been shut down, the bot herders moved quickly and started pointing the rest of the CnCs to new secondary servers in Ukraine.
"So at one point, I was thinking that all we needed was to take down one Russian server, but right in front of my eyes, the bot herders started pointing their botnet to new destinations."
He noted that in the past Ukraine has been something of a "safe haven" for bot herders.
"Shutting down any servers there has never been easy."
Disabling Grum is just one of many high-profile efforts to neutralise botnets worldwide.
Russian Georgiy Avanesov was in May sentenced to four years in jail for being behind the Bredolab botnet which was believed to have been generating more than £80,000 a month in revenue.
Microsoft has been working to disrupt Zeus, another huge network responsible for, researchers said, millions of pounds in theft.
FireEye collaborated with other experts in the worldwide security industry to apply pressure to local ISPs to suspend the illegal operation.
Mr Mushtaq said more than 20,000 computers were still part of the botnet, but that without the active CnCs they would soon be rendered ineffective.
Grum's closure was an encouraging development in clamping down on botnets across the world, he said.
"When the appropriate channels are used, even ISPs within Russia and Ukraine can be pressured to end their cooperation with bot herders.
"There are no longer any safe havens. Most of the spam botnets that used to keep their CnCs in the USA and Europe have moved to countries like Panama, Russia, and Ukraine thinking that no one can touch them in these comfort zones.
"We have proven them wrong this time. Keep on dreaming of a junk-free inbox."
The princes were in Manchester last week to help with a project to turn a derelict street into homes for ex-service personnel.

But the show's Billy Byrne referred to them in his usual way - "sausage".
Prince Harry replied: "If you're going to call me sausage, it's going to be a very long day."

The NYSE has yet to give full details of the problem, but emphasised that it was not the result of a cyber hack.
Other exchanges, including Nasdaq, reported no problems and were trading normally.
Earlier, United Airlines and the Wall Street Journal's website reported major technical problems.
However, US Homeland Security said the issues appeared unrelated and were not the result of "nefarious" activity.
Shares were generally lower before the suspension, and continued to fall once full trading resumed.
The Dow Jones closed 1.5% lower, or 261 points, to 17,515, while the S&P 500 shed 1.7%, or 34 points, at 2,046. The tech-rich Nasdaq, 1.8% lower, or 87 points, ended at 4,909.
Trading was halted just after 1130am ET, prompting a NYSE statement: "We're currently experiencing a technical issue that we're working to resolve as quickly as possible.
"We will be providing further updates as soon as we can, and are doing our utmost to produce a swift resolution, communicate thoroughly and transparently, and ensure a timely and orderly market re-open."
The NYSE tweeted later that it was an internal technical issue, not a cyber attack.
The White House said that President Barack Obama was briefed, and the Securities and Exchange Commission said it was "closely monitoring the situation".
The problem followed technical glitches at WSJ.com, the Wall Street Journal's website, and at United Airlines.
United Airlines said that a computer error had forced it to ground its flights in the US for the second time in recent weeks. The carrier blamed a "network connectivity issue" for the latest fault.
More than 800 United flights were delayed and about 60 were cancelled, but services were now returning to normal.
WSJ.com is now operating normally.
US Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said the issues reported by United and the NYSE were apparently not related to "nefarious" activity.
"I have spoken to the CEO of United, Jeff Smisek, myself. It appears from what we know at this stage that the malfunctions at United and the stock exchange were not the result of any nefarious actor," Mr Johnson said.

Substitute Ayew was tripped by Liam Moore as he tried to get a shot away and he made no mistake from the spot.
Villa had led through a deflected Jonathan Kodjia shot in the first half from Albert Adomah's pinpoint cross.
Yann Kermorgant headed Reading's equaliser from the rebound after Danny Williams had a penalty saved.
Garath McCleary came close to snatching a stoppage-time leveller for the hosts, but his low drive went inches wide of the far post.
The victory was Villa's first in 11 matches and a first away from home since August 2015, on the opening day of the Premier League season at Bournemouth.
Reading have now gone four league games without a win.
The Royals had 73% of possession in the first half but had nothing to show for it.
Jonathan Swift came close, forcing a close-range block from Pierluigi Gollini in the Villa goal, moments after Kodjia's opener.
A more direct approach from the hosts resulted in Aly Cissokho tripping McCleary and conceding a penalty from a searching ball into the box.
USA international Williams was denied by Gollini, but Kermorgant was alert to head in his third goal of the season.
Both sides showed the intent to go for a winner, but Reading's laboured approach continued and Villa sensed the chance to press them deep inside their own half.
Ayew replaced Rudy Gestede in attack and his weaving run into the area was ended abruptly by Moore's ill-timed tackle.
Ali Al Habsi was wrong-footed by the Ghanaian's penalty and wild celebrations ensued among Villa's travelling support of more than 4,000.
Reading manager Jaap Stam:
"I think people should look at that game again. How I look at it is only one team was trying to play football and it was us.
"Fair play, how Aston Villa played, it got them a result and we know they're a quality team that can create chances and make it difficult for you.
"But, we didn't create a lot of chances in the first half. That's also because the opposition sat deep and waited for us to make mistakes and play on the counter-attack.
"You need to be patient in the game - how you play and also how the opposition play. In the second half, they started to press us higher up the pitch and spaces opened up.
"The only thing I can say that we can do better is we can be more decisive defensively, winning that first ball instead of the second one."
Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce told BBC WM:
"I have to pay special mention to the supporters in the last 10 minutes. They breathed life into the lads.
"For a club that's been in trouble, over the past couple of years in particular, to have 5,000 fans at Reading on a Tuesday night is remarkable.
"It's nice to win a game late on. The previous management lost 10 points from goals conceded in the last few minutes of games. If they hadn't done, I probably wouldn't be here.
"I've been given the privilege to manage this club and I've now got to do my best to turn this juggernaut around.
"Let's hope this can be the first of a few wins and we can get this season back up and running again."

Jeffrey Sandusky, 41, allegedly sent explicit text messages to children, asking for nude photographs.
The arrest comes nearly five years after his father, who worked for Pennsylvania State University, was found guilty on similar charges.
The elder Sandusky is serving a lengthy prison sentence for molesting 10 boys.
The son - who attended many of his father's court proceedings - faces 14 counts, including statutory sexual assault, unlawful contact with a minor, sexual abuse of a minor and photographing or depicting sexual acts.
He was formally charged at a court in the Pennsylvanian town of Bellefonte on Monday afternoon.
His adopted mother, Dorothy Sandusky, was also present at the hearing, according to local media.
The investigation began in November 2016, police say, when a child claimed to have received a text message from the younger Sandusky.
The child shared the photo with her father, who alerted police.
Mr Sandusky's bail has been set at $200,000 (£160,000), which he was unable to post, court records show.
He is being held in jail pending trial and is prohibited from having any contact with minors.
His employer, the Rockview State Prison, has suspended him as a prison officer, pending trial.
Mr Sandusky's brother, Matt, told NBC News his thoughts are "with the victims".
He also had some harsh words for his sibling.
"He should not see the outside of a prison cell for the rest of his life if these allegations are true," said Matt Sandusky.
The revelation that coach Jerry Sandusky has abused children, some whom were beneficiaries of his own charity, shocked Pennsylvanians and fans of US college football.
The school president, as well as the team's head coach, were both fired after being accused of seeking to cover up allegations against Sandusky, the school's longtime defensive co-ordinator.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) eventually punished the team by stripping it of all victories from 1998-2011 and imposing a fine of $60m (£48m).

EU summit talks in Brussels on Friday will focus on how the EU moves forward post-Brexit, amid tensions over integrating migrants, globalisation and how to revive ailing eurozone economies.
Versailles was a symbolic place to hold such talks - the palace where peace in Europe was mapped out after World War One.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said "we need to have the courage for some countries to go ahead if not everyone wants to participate.
"A Europe of different speeds is necessary, otherwise we will probably get stuck. If Europe gets stuck and doesn't develop further, then this work of peace may run into danger faster than one might think," she said.

Plaid Cymru's Llyr Gruffydd said: "Superfast Cymru has made an incredible difference to enhance superfast coverage in Wales, but we cannot rest on our laurels - we must act to make sure that not a single home, business or community in Wales is left behind."
A spokesman for the Welsh Conservatives, which has pledged universal roll out of superfast broadband and mobile coverage, said: "Along comes an election and up pop Plaid Cymru with a thousand new un-costed pledges.
"What they don't say is how they plan to achieve this or how they'll pay for it."
A Welsh Labour spokesman said: "Our next generation broadband programme is delivering the digital infrastructure Wales needs to grow.
"The Superfast Cymru scheme means fibre optic connections are now available in all local authority areas and we are working to get the maximum coverage possible of this vital technology."
The Lib Dems said the party would hold "crisis negotiations with BT Openreach" - the firm that helps provide broadband services over the telephone network - and demand a delivery timetable that ensures "every Welsh business hub and park, hospital and school has superfast broadband delivered by 2017".
A UKIP spokeswoman said: "It's all very well making these pledges at election time but toothless Plaid have had seats in the assembly since devolution and have even governed in coalition with Labour, seemingly to very little effect."

The Welsh fighter, 24, was beaten 14-8 by the home favourite in South Korea.
There were also bronze medals for Bradly Sinden and Damon Sansum on the final day of competition in Muju.
It means the British team have gained a record five medals at the 2017 Worlds, beating their previous best of four, achieved in 2011.
Jones, who won a world silver in 2011, was guaranteed a bronze for reaching the -57kg semi-finals - but her wait to complete a career grand slam continues.
She holds the European Championships, European Games and World Grand Prix titles.
"Sometimes you lose and I just have to go away from here and train hard get better," Jones told BBC Sport.
"I'm obviously saving it for the big occasion in Manchester for the Worlds [in 2019].
"I just wasn't me. I didn't fight as well as I normally fight and I just didn't pressure enough. I didn't do enough."
Former European junior champion Sinden took bronze in the -63kg category after losing his semi-final to China's Zhao Shuai 29-43.
The 18-year-old, ranked 62 in the world, had qualified for the last four by beating the defending world champion in the division, Belgium's Jaouad Achab.
"I know I've still got a lot of work to do, but seeing as I've only been in the academy for 11 months and it's my first senior World champs, to come away with a medal is a great feeling," said Sinden.
Sansum secured bronze after winning through to the -80kg semi-finals, but was defeated on golden point by Russia's Anton Kotkov.
The former Scottish world kickboxing champion, who won world taekwondo silver in 2015, defeated Nurlan Myrzabayev of Kazakhstan 21-8 in the quarter-finals.
The world number 104 had knocked out the Olympic champion Cheick Cisse in the previous round.
"I'm gutted at the moment because I knew I could win gold today," he told BBC Sport.
"Coming back from the devastation of missing out on selection for Rio 2016 and then having surgery on both hips in January of this year has been tough.
"With that in mind, I have to take some positives from the result - and from getting a second successive World medal, which no GB man has done before. But I'll be back fighting for gold next time."
Former Team GB fighter Aaron Cook, who defected to Moldova after his controversial omission from the London 2012 Olympic squad, was also eliminated in the -80kg semi-final to finish with bronze.
Rachelle Booth won bronze at the last World Championships in 2015, but there was to be no repeat of that success.
After a bye in the first round, she opened her account with a 17-11 win over China's Zhou Meiling, but Ivory Coast fighter Ruth Gbagbi proved too strong - winning their round-of-16 encounter 15-6.
Vincent Barker, eight, known as Vinnie, died in July 2012 after fluid built up on his brain.
Honey Rose, 35, from Newham, east London, performed a routine eye test on the child five months earlier. She said she had "done her best" for him.
But jurors at Ipswich Crown Court found her guilty of gross negligence manslaughter.
Rose, a mother of three, was handed a two-year jail sentence, suspended for two years.
Live updates on this and other stories from Suffolk
Sentencing her, Judge Jeremy Stuart-Smith said it was the first case of its type.
He ordered Rose to complete 200 hours of unpaid work and gave her a 24-month supervision order.
Rose is to apply for permission to appeal, according to the Association of Optometrists.
A spokesman declined to comment further on the case due to a fitness to practise hearing she faces before the General Optical Council.
During her trial, Rose told the court she conducted all the required tests during Vinnie's eye examination at the Ipswich branch of Boots on 15 February 2012.
But the prosecution alleged her conduct had been so far below the expected standard it was "criminal".
The jury heard there were "obvious abnormalities" in both of Vinnie's eyes visible during the examination.
Photographs taken by another staff member of the back of his eyes, shortly before he was examined by Rose, suggested he had bilateral papilloedema - a condition in which optic discs at the back of each eye become swollen because of raised pressure within the skull.
Jonathan Rees QC, prosecuting, said this "would have been obvious to any competent optometrist" and should have led to an urgent referral to treat "a life-threatening condition".
A build-up of fluid on the brain increased pressure in Vinnie's skull and ultimately led to his death.
Rose had claimed her examination of Vinnie was tricky because he had closed his eyes to the light and looked away during the test.
"For whatever reason, she did not look at the back of the eye," said Rose's barrister Ian Stern QC. "She had no foreseeability as to the consequences."
He described Rose's failure to examine the back of Vincent's eyes as an "inexplicable lack of action" and a "one-off".
Sentencing, Judge Stuart-Smith accepted Rose's lack of diagnosis had been a "one-off", but said she had tried to "cover up" her actions when she found out Vinnie had died.
He said Rose had tried to show the boy had not co-operated and demonstrated signs of photophobia when being assessed.
A written statement from Vinnie's mother, Joanne Barker, said: "The knowledge our loss should have been prevented and Vinnie should have been saved is intolerable to live with."
Det Supt Tonya Antonis, of Suffolk Police, said the force and the family were "satisfied" with the suspended sentence, adding charges were brought to make sure the profession was held to account and that it "doesn't happen to anyone else".
The 30-year-old will have an operation on Monday and is expected to be sidelined for three months.
Robshaw, who has won 55 caps, aggravated a problem with his left shoulder at Worcester on 1 January.
The back row captained the national side between January 2012 and January 2016, but was replaced as skipper after Eddie Jones became England head coach.
Jones led the side to a Grand Slam in 2016 but the Australian has a number of injury worries going into this year's tournament, which England begin against France at Twickenham on 4 February.
Saracens forwards Billy and Mako Vunipola have been ruled out with knee injuries, while Leicester centre Manu Tuilagi is out for the season with cruciate ligament damage.
Lock George Kruis is a doubt with a fractured cheekbone, and flanker James Haskell was concussed on his return from six months out with a foot injury.
Captain Dylan Hartley, who is suspended until 23 January, will need to prove his fitness before the competition starts.
Chris Jones, BBC Radio 5 live rugby union reporter
After losing the captaincy following the World Cup, Chris Robshaw was a talisman for England on the blind-side flank in 2016 - playing in all but one of the 13 straight victories.
He was also repeatedly singled out for praise by head coach Eddie Jones for his outstanding performances.
However, while Robshaw's leadership and consistency will certainly be missed in the Six Nations, it may present Jones with the opportunity to move Maro Itoje from the second row into the back row, especially if locks Joe Launchbury and George Kruis can prove their fitness over the coming weeks.
The £2.8m works to Rushey Weir near Faringdon, Oxfordshire, marked the completion of an Environment Agency project to update weirs on the river following widespread floods in 2007.
Steven Drennan, from consultants Bruton Knowles, called it a "modern flood defence ready for the next 200 years".
The Grade II listed weir was built in 1790 and reconstructed in 1887.
Its paddle and rymer systems were described by the Environment Agency as "outdated" and "heavy and awkward to move", and could cause injury to staff.
They have been upgraded to three automated gates, with a small section of the existing system kept as a heritage feature.
Mr Drennan added: "Contractors have also installed a fish pass channel on neighbouring farmland which... allows migration upstream past the fast-flowing weir of various species of fish."
Aguero, 28, clashed with Reid during Sunday's 3-1 win in the Premier League.
If found guilty, the Argentina international would be banned for three matches and miss the Manchester derby on 10 September.
He would also miss a league match against Bournemouth and the EFL Cup game against Swansea.
The Football Association said referee Andre Marriner and his officials did not see the 76th-minute incident so it has decided to take retrospective action after reviewing television footage.
An independent panel is due to rule on the case on Friday using written submissions and reviewing video evidence.
Aguero, who is out of Argentina's two 2018 World Cup qualifiers this month with a calf injury, will not appear in person.
It is the first time they have been knocked out in the group stages since 1958 and the first time they have been eliminated after just two matches.
Roy Hodgson's side were beaten by Group D rivals Italy and Uruguay.
"Part of me thinks you shouldn't look back, but if you look at the players England had in 2006 - the so-called golden generation - they are so much better than today's team.
"The likes of Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney. That is a proper team."
England needed Italy to win both of their remaining games to stand a chance of reaching the last 16, but Costa Rica's victory ended their involvement.
Former England defender Rio Ferdinand believes a lack of experience cost Hodgson's side, but thinks the tournament will be important for the development of their young players.
"Maybe England were a bit naive," he said. "In the game against Uruguay, for instance, when they got back to 1-1, they had a chance to get a point and everything would have been down to the final game.
"But the players can take experience from the tournament. It is valuable, not just playing minutes but being around the hotel, how you prepare yourself, what it means to go to a World Cup and feeling that pressure."
Hodgson had picked a squad with an emphasis on youth and was hopeful they would progress out of a tough group.

Costa Rica were supposed to be the weakest team in a pool containing three former World Cup winners, but the Central American side were the first to progress to the last 16.
Despite England's campaign starting with a 2-1 defeat by Italy, a promising performance gave them confidence for Thursday's game against Uruguay.
But Luis Suarez's brace gave Uruguay a 2-1 victory, which left Hodgson's men relying on other results.
In the aftermath of the defeat, Hodgson insisted he would not resign, while Football Association chairman Greg Dyke added Hodgson's job is not under threat.
"We are supportive of Roy," said Dyke. "I already see people asking the question, 'Will he stay?' The answer is 'yes'."

England goalkeeper Joe Hart said the players were "proud to play" for Hodgson.
"He is a great manager, a very passionate man and someone I have an awful lot of respect for and I hope to continue playing for him," Hart said.
Former England winger Chris Waddle cited a lack of quality coaching in the country as a reason for the national side's failure.
Waddle, part of the England side beaten on penalties by West Germany in the semi-finals of the 1990 World Cup, told BBC Radio 5 live: "The Premier League is different to any league the world and that is our big problem.
"It's frustrating, because we have everything we need - money, facilities - but it comes down to coaching, and we have to get something right about producing players.
"The Premier League is a great advert for our football but it does our national team no good whatsoever."
England finish their campaign against Costa Rica on Tuesday.

Police were called to the Butetown area at about 17:40 BST and armed officers were sent to the scene as a precaution, a South Wales Police spokesman said.
The man's injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
The force is appealing for any witnesses who were in the area between 17:30 and 18:00 to contact them.
Tom Ford and Tommy Hilfiger are among those that have followed British fashion house Burberry in making new styles available to buy immediately.
Most shows are now live-streamed and featured on social media.
That has prompted some labels to show designs for the coming autumn/winter rather than next year's summer ranges.
Not having to wait for glossy fashion magazines to feature the latest designs has helped to make consumers less content to accept delays of several months before they can buy them.
Tom Ford is showing an autumn/winter 2016 collection for both men and women at New York fashion week rather than items for spring/summer next year.
"In a world that has become increasingly immediate, the current way of showing a collection four months before it is available to customers, is an antiquated idea and one that no longer makes sense," Ford said.
"Showing the collection as it arrives in stores will remedy this, and allow the excitement ... to drive sales and satisfy our customers' increasing desire to have their clothes as they are ready to wear them."
Graeme Moran, head of content for fashion and features at Drapers magazine, said: "The whole industry is in flux. The rule book is being ripped up. Normally fashion weeks are geared towards those in the industry, but now the public are being invited to see what is on offer.
"I think it is very positive. The big designer brands will be watching to see how much of an impact this new approach has on sales."
Other fashion houses are adopting similar tactics with February and September shows for both men and women.
Earlier this year Burberry said it would merge its four annual shows - two for women and two for men - into just two.
Burberry was the first company to livestream its shows and it also makes extensive use of platforms such as Snapchat and Instagram.
Luxury brands have been suffering as Chinese consumers cut back on spending, the strength of the US dollar and terrorist attacks deterring tourists from visiting fashion capitals such as Paris.
They are also responding to changing shopping habits from younger consumers who have grown up buying and sharing content online - particularly on smartphones.
Half the tickets for Tommy Hilfiger's show in New York on Friday night have been given to fans, opening up previously exclusive events to members of the public.
Fashion commentators say designers are also having to respond to the successful "fast fashion" business models pioneered by the likes of Zara and H&M.
Maria Malone, principal lecturer of fashion business at Manchester Metropolitan University, said big designer catwalk shows were now only one part of the fashion landscape.
"The British high street is in itself a huge influence. Consumers are also taking their fashion inspiration from celebrities, street fashion, pop culture, TV and current events," she said.
"Some of the big influences this summer have been the Rio games, encouraging big, colourful prints. A lot more people go to festivals, so hippy-style, casual clothes have been popular."
Fashion fans no longer wanted to wait months to buy an item they have seen a celebrity wear, Ms Malone said: "If consumers see a dress on Rita Ora or Kim Kardashian, stores such as Top Shop are able to give them a version of it within weeks.
"The recent growth of online fashion companies such as Boohoo.com and Missguided has also meant that product can get to the customer faster. Likewise big brand designers need to be able to react to instant demand for their ranges," she added.
Some designer are abandoning the traditional runway show in favour of "presentations". Diane von Furstenberg, for example, has scheduled a series of appointments at New York fashion week rather than a big runway bash.
New York Times fashion critic Vanessa Friedman says: "Sartorial spaghetti is being thrown at the wall to see what sticks. But something will, and then the whole sparkly, chiffon-clad edifice could tip."
Edinburgh Central Mosque, in the Potterrow area, suffered minor fire damage to the door and the garden after an object was thrown at the building at about 02:10 on Sunday.
Police Scotland are treating the fire-raising as a hate crime.
The arrested man is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday.
The deal includes 30 787-9 Dreamliners and 10 777-300ERs, valued at $11.7bn (£9.4bn) at list prices, along with the option to buy 60 737 MAX 8s, valued at $6.9bn at list prices.
It is the largest single order ever placed by the Gulf carrier.
The deal gives Boeing a boost in a year when orders for widebody planes have slumped.
Qatar has been frustrated over prolonged delivery problems from Boeing's European rival aircraft maker, Airbus.
Media reports last week suggested the deal was for at least 30 Boeing 777 and 787 jets, valued at about $6.7bn.
Airplane makers typically give large discounts on the list price when carriers order in bulk.
The continuing fight between Qatar Airways and Airbus has turned nasty - with Boeing emerging as the big winner.
The chief executive of the Gulf carrier, Akbar Al Baker, is a forthright individual. He has previously described his airline's relationship with Airbus as "strained" because of delivery delays and engine problems with the Airbus A320neos.
Now Akbar Al Baker is sending Airbus a message, with a big order for its American rival. The mega deal is not just a financial winner for Boeing. It's also a huge boost for the US plane maker's single aisle 737 MAX aircraft.
It is the US aerospace giant's newest plane and doesn't go into service until next year.
And politics may also be at play.
There was a suggestion that the Qatar government may have delayed the Boeing passenger jet order to put pressure on the US to approve a deal for Boeing fighter jets to the Middle Eastern country - a deal which the Americans now look set to approve.
Mrs Maynard and her husband moved from California to Oregon, where assisted-suicide has been legal since 1997.
Oregon's Death with Dignity Act allows terminally ill residents to obtain lethal prescriptions from doctors.
Since 1997, 1,173 people were granted lethal prescriptions and 752 patients used it to end their own lives.
Mrs Maynard, 29, who was suffering from a terminal brain cancer, died at home after administering lethal drugs on Saturday.
She died "in the arms of her loved ones," a spokesman for the campaign group Compassion & Choices said.
Sean Crowley said Mrs Maynard was suffering from increasingly severe seizures and head and neck pains which had at times limited her ability to speak.
Following months of treatment and a worsening prognosis, Mrs Maynard made the decision to use Oregon's laws to obtain a lethal dose of medication which she kept "until the time is right," as she said in her video.
She received the lethal medication several months ago, and last week in a video posted to her website she said that she was considering delaying her plan.
"I still feel good enough and I still have enough joy and I still laugh and smile with my family and friends enough that it doesn't seem like the right time right now," she said. "But it will come, because I feel myself getting sicker."
Mrs Maynard's first video went viral and has attracted more than nine million views on YouTube.
In it she said that she first started experiencing the headaches shortly after getting married.
Assisted suicide is controversial in the US, where it faces staunch opposition from Christian campaign groups, among others.
The latest floods, caused by heavy rains, have damaged roads, bridges and hundreds of homes in western Serbia and in central and northern Bosnia.
Floods in the same area in May affected nearly two million people and caused billions of euros of damage.
Many of the victims criticised the official response at the time.
Local media in Serbia say a man, aged 65, drowned after floodwaters swept through his home in Banja Koviljaca, in the west of the country.
Many homes were also flooded in the nearby town of Loznica, after the river Stira burst its banks.
Some homes also had to be evacuated in the central Serbian cities of Kragujevac and Cacak.
In the Bosnian town of Banja Luka, a man was reported missing after floodwaters swept away his car.
Some 200 homes were evacuated near the city of Tuzla, in the Gracanica region, the AFP news agency reports.
Flooding has also been reported in the eastern Bosnian towns of Foca and Visegrad.
The heavy rainfall is expected to continue into Thursday.
Bosnian authorities have declared a state of emergency, the Associated Press news agency reports.

Chasing 299 for victory, Australia were well placed on 168-2 but lost their next eight wickets for 56 runs as they collapsed to 224 all out.
Tim Bresnan turned the tide when he had opener David Warner caught behind for 71 and Broad followed up with a devastating burst of 6-20 in 45 balls to finish with 11 wickets in the match.
"What a wonderful, dramatic day. This match was a wonderful advert for Test cricket, today in particular. It ebbed and flowed - that's what you want - not this crash, bang, wallop, 20 or 50 overs.
"Anyone who tells me Twenty20 is better than this is an idiot. It's about seeing bowlers and batsmen straining. Then it boils down to England being better at the pressure moments."
A breathless and barely believable evening session, in which nine wickets fell, ended in fading light at 19:40 BST when Broad had Peter Siddle caught at mid-off to put England 3-0 up in the series with one match to play.
Amazingly, less than two hours before the final wicket fell, it appeared far more likely that Australia would be heading to The Oval on 21 August with a chance of levelling the series.
The tourists made the ideal start to their run chase as Warner and Chris Rogers put on 109 for the first wicket - Australia's first century opening partnership in the Ashes since The Oval in 2005.
Rogers eventually fell one short of a half-century - caught by Jonathan Trott at slip off Swann - but even when the off-spinner followed up with the wicket of Usman Khawaja for 21, there was little sign of the madness that followed.
The turning point arrived when Bresnan produced a superb delivery to remove the dangerous Warner, who was drawn into pushing at a ball angled across him and got a thin nick through to Matt Prior.
Sensing their opportunity, England pounced in ruthless fashion. Broad sent captain Michael Clarke's off stump cart-wheeling before Steve Smith played on as he attempted to pull.
England have never won four Tests in a home Ashes series
The last time they won three in a series at home was in 1985 when they won the series 3-1
England have won two Ashes series 3-0: 1886 (a three-Test series) and 1977
Their biggest Ashes series win is 5-1 in 1978-79. They have won 4-1 three times in Australia: 1911-12, 1928-29 and 1932-33
Roared on by the England supporters in the Chester-le-Street crowd, Bresnan trapped Shane Watson in front to leave Australia in disarray.
Broad, bowling as quickly and aggressively as at any time in his career, then had Brad Haddin and Ryan Harris lbw before bowling Nathan Lyon.
With just one wicket needed, England were granted an extra half-hour but, with the light fading, the umpires insisted on them bowling spinners from both ends.
Six overs came and went without any great alarm before the reappearance of the setting sun gave Alastair Cook the opportunity to go back to his pacemen.
Six balls from James Anderson failed to deliver the breakthrough but, when Broad returned from the Lumley End, it took him only three to induce a false stroke from Siddle and send the crowd into raptures.
Broad's match figures of 11-121 were the finest of his career and the best by an England bowler in the Ashes since Phil Tufnell's 11-93 at The Oval in 1997.
Earlier, Australia took England's last five wickets for 96 runs to bowl them out for 330, with Harris claiming 7-117.
The outstanding fast bowler, whose omission from the first Test is beginning to look like a glaring oversight, bowled centurion Ian Bell and Prior with successive balls and ended a brief cameo of 13 from Broad with a brutal bouncer that he gloved to gully.
1st Test: England won by 14 runs, Trent Bridge
2nd Test: England won by 347 runs, Lord's
3rd Test: Match drawn, Old Trafford
4th Test: England won by 74 runs, Chester-le-Street
5th Test: 21-25 August, The Oval
Bresnan, who made 45, and Swann fought back with a crucial attacking partnership of 42 and, by the time Anderson was last man out, England had pushed their lead to within two runs of 300.
Even then, for long periods of the day it looked as if Australia would pull off a famous chase with something to spare.
But when Broad and Bresnan found their stride in the evening session, England were irresistible.

John Ramsay, 50, stabbed 39-year-old Alan Whitelaw eight times in the neck and arm at his the victim's flat in Maryhill on 1 July 2014.
He claimed the killing was accidental after Mr Whitelaw attacked him but a jury at the High Court in Glasgow unanimously convicted him of murder.
Ramsay faces a mandatory life term when he is sentenced next month.
The court heard that Ramsay and Mr Whitelaw had only met three times.
On the day of the murder, Mr Whitelaw had invited Ramsay to his home for a drink.
After eating a takeaway curry together the two men rowed and Mr Whitelaw attacked Ramsay, leaving him battered and bruised.
Ramsay was dragged away by neighbour who heard the fight. As he left he shouted threats at Mr Whitelaw.
Some hours later, armed with two knives, he went back to Mr Whitelaw's home in Glenfinnan Road and killed him.
Mr Whitelaw's body was discovered by his neighbour, 49-year-old Kevin Lundie.
He went into the flat after seeing blood in the hallway.
He told the court: "It was pitch dark inside the flat. The only thing I could see in the living room was the television, but I could make out the silhouette of his body. I ran out the living room and phoned the emergency services."
In evidence Ramsay claimed he had returned to Mr Whitelaw's home because he had left his keys there.
He told the jury that Mr Whitelaw came at him with two knives and pinned him to the floor and he had to defend himself.
Ramsay was asked by defence QC Donald Findlay: "Did you mean to kill Mr Whitelaw?" and replied: "No I was trying not to hurt him. I just wanted to get him away from me."
Following his conviction, it emerged that Ramsay had a number of previous convictions, including two for assault and robbery.
He said that the legacy of the past was not properly addressed in November's Fresh Start agreement.
He received an OBE in the New Year Honours list for services to drama and the community in Northern Ireland.
Nesbitt is a patron of Wave Trauma Centre.
It supports people bereaved, injured or traumatised during the conflict in Northern Ireland.
In an interview for BBC Radio Ulster's Sunday News programme, the actor said he hoped his award would bring more awareness to the work of Wave.
Nesbitt said he shared the view that families were let down by last year's political deal.
"You cannot move on without fully addressing what is clearly the ongoing and indelible legacy of the past and really looking after the people who have suffered and are still suffering," he said.
"These are real people who continue to be impacted, and [the trauma] is passing on to their family members."
"Because of the lucky nature of my success, I've had the opportunity to do quite a lot in Northern Ireland, which is a duty, but also a real privilege.
"So if this brings more awareness to the ongoing work WAVE is doing, then I'm thrilled."
In 2015, WAVE received almost 700 new victim referrals, aged from seven to 83 years old.
"That's people presenting for the very first time," said Nesbitt. "With the children as young as seven, we're seeing a lot of trans-generational trauma being passed on."
Alongside Liam Neeson, Nesbitt has in the past backed appeals by families of the 16 Disappeared for information that could lead to the recovery of the four victims still not found.
On The Sunday News, he reiterated that appeal, saying: "Someone out there will have information.
"A few years ago, they thought they wouldn't get any of them. But we've had so much success with the appeals we've made, and the relief it brings to the families is so acute.
"WAVE needs funding and we need to do more work on that."
You can hear James Nesbitt's full interview with The Sunday News at 13:00 GMT on Sunday, 10 January.
The sanctions follow a Honda engine upgrade in addition to earlier reliability problems.
Both drivers have already used more than the permitted number of relevant parts after just seven races of 21.
Alonso's penalties total 15 places and Vandoorne's 30, so the Spaniard will start ahead of his team-mate.
Alonso said: "We try to go through the weekend in the best way possible, perform the best we can but there are some things out of our control.
"It will be like this all season long. We used already the maximum engines that we are allowed in the first seven races and now we will start last in a couple of other races.
"That will make things even more difficult but it is the way it is and we can't do anything other than perform at our best."
Some of the penalties arise from the fact that both drivers will use a new design of turbo and MGU-H, the motor-generator unit that recovers energy from the turbo.
As both have already used more than the permitted number of these for the season, they incur a grid drop.
Vandoorne's extra 15 penalty places arise from the fact that Honda is also planning to change his entire power-unit after Friday practice.
Taking a new one will mean a seventh MGU-H and turbo so far this season for the Belgian. Only four are allowed before incurring penalties.
Before this weekend, both Alonso and Vandoorne had already used five turbo/MGU-Hs this season, when only four are permitted for the entire year.
Honda is also to test a series of new components on the engine in practice on Friday and will decide whether to use those upgrades for the rest of the weekend after analysing the data from the two sessions.
Asked whether the new parts would bring significantly improved performance, Vandoorne said: "Difficult to say, to be honest. I think probably more a question for Honda. I don't think it will be too different."
McLaren are in the process of trying to resolve a divorce from Honda, after losing faith that the Japanese company can ever sort out the reliability and performance problems that have afflicted it since it returned to F1 in 2015.
They are expected to attempt to try to secure a supply of Mercedes customer engines for next season.
Vandoorne said: "We are trying to put McLaren's interests at the top. We need to fight back.
"I am pretty sure the team is moving in the right direction and hopefully at some point we will be competitive again. Hopefully that is sooner rather than later."
Ellie Harrison's project is called the Glasgow Effect - a term relating to poor health in parts of the city.
The artist said she wanted to explore sustainability by travelling less and focusing more on local opportunities.
Critics on social media have described it as a waste of money but Creative Scotland said Harrison's strong proposal had qualified for funding.
On a web page explaining the project, Harrison states: "The Glasgow Effect is year long action research project / durational performance, for which artist Ellie Harrison will not travel outside Greater Glasgow for a whole year (except in the event of the ill-heath / death of close relative or friend).
"By setting this one simple restriction to her current lifestyle, she intends to test the limits of a 'sustainable practice' and to challenge the demand-to-travel placed upon the 'successful' artist / academic."
While some reaction on Twitter and Facebook to the project was positive, others described it as patronising and a waste of money.
Kieran Hurley tweeted: "All I know about #TheGlasgowEffect is there has been an ill-judged press release by an artist who has previously done good work. That's it."
Michael Gray tweeted: "Every time someone tweets me about #TheGlasgowEffect, a @CreativeScots executive adds it to their tally of 'met key performance indicators'."
On Facebook, Alex William McRobbie, posted: "The funding of such a project both patronises and insults the poorest living within the city of Glasgow.
"I know of several young artists who haven't left the city in the past year as a result of financial pressures."
Amanda Cameron said: "Why not go in and around the city and ask people who actually do live, work and have generated an existence for themselves - not in the name of art, but as their actual lives?!
"It's a complete waste of money... and a slap on the face to the people living and working in Glasgow!"
Harrison later posted on Facebook that she was in negotiations with Duncan of Jordanstone College, where she lectures in contemporary art, "to donate the £15,000 to them in exchange for paid research leave in order to undertake the project".
Referring to reaction on social media, she said: "Glasgow has been my home for seven-and-a-half years and to suddenly have a response like this to one of my projects has been quite overwhelming.
"You have given me so much material to digest, it will take the whole year to do so. I hope to follow-up by meeting many of you face-to-face, when all the fuss has died down."
The artist also promised to "shortly publish" her full application to Creative Scotland "in the interests of transparency and to provide a more detailed context for the project".
She ended the post: "At least now, thanks to you all, I have ticked the Creative Scotland's 'Public Engagement' box, I can get on with the real work."
Creative Scotland defended its decision to provide funding.
In a statement, the arts body said Harrison was "a recognised artist with an MA with Distinction from the Glasgow School of Art".
The statement went on: "Her idea, articulated in a strong proposal which met all the criteria for open project funding, focused on exploring whether it's possible for an artist to generate an existence for themselves by living, working and contributing to a single community, as opposed to being constantly on the road because of the need to earn money from commissions from different places that incur costly travel and accommodation costs and high carbon footprint usage.
"Ellie's project is based on the premise that if society wishes to achieve global change, then individuals have to be more active within their communities at a local level.
"In restricting herself to staying within the city boundaries she is keen to explore what impact this will have her on her life and on her work as an artist with national and international commitments."
The statement concluded: "Our funding will support Ellie's creative practice in Glasgow and we will be interested to see how the project progresses.
"As part of our funding conditions we will require an evaluation of the project once it is completed."
The former Candystripes captain replaced Roddy Collins as Brandywell boss in May last year.
Derry are battling against relegation from the Premier Division while they made their FAI Cup exit on Monday night with a 3-0 defeat at Cork City.
City assistant boss Paul Hegarty will take over as caretaker manager until the end of the season.
The 42-year-old, who was City's longest serving player, took Derry to last season's FAI Cup final.
However, Derry have won just six of their 27 league games this season and are just three points clear of basement side Limerick.
Hutton's final match in charge came on Monday in the quarter-final replay loss at Turner's Cross.
"The Derry City FC Board Of Directors would like to announce that Peter Hutton has left the club by mutual consent," said the Candystripes.
"Derry City FC would like to thank Peter for his service, and we wish him well for the future."
"In this sport, which is an Asian sport, an Asian martial art, a teenage athlete from Great Britain has just beaten two Asian champions back-to-back to win Olympic gold. I don't think Olympic stories come much better than this one."
The 19-year-old beat Yuzhuo Hou 6-4 to take the women's -57kg title and avenge the Chinese fighter's sudden-death win at the 2011 World Championships.
After a nervous opening with few scoring opportunities, Jones took control of the final in the second round and powered to victory.
GB's previous best result was Sarah Stevenson's bronze in Beijing.
Jones told BBC Sport: "I still doesn't feel real, it feels crazy. I've dreamt about this for ages and the crowd have just been amazing. This can't be beaten.
"My coach is a legend and without him I wouldn't have been anywhere near where I was today. When I came out, I just wanted to go on and win.
"To be the first ever British taekwondo athlete to win Olympic gold is amazing. To win Olympic gold is special, but to perform in front of all my friends and family is just amazing."
The opening against Hou was tense, as each fighter tested their range during a scoreless first two minutes.
A low blow from the Chinese fighter accrued a second penalty which resulted in a point for Jones towards the end of the second round, while another shot to the body on the buzzer made it 2-0.
The Welsh teenager continued to go on the offensive and opened up a 5-1 lead heading into the final 30 seconds, closing out a stunning 6-4 victory.

Jones added: "I sang the national anthem and it was the best moment of my whole life. Amazing.
"I've seen this medal on pictures and seen other people get them. To finally have one round my neck, I still don't believe it. It's just crazy. Taekwondo is such a low-key sport that hopefully this will boost the profile.
"I will take a bit of time off first, get mentally sorted, then bring on Rio."

It's estimated there are just 4,000 of these elegant but elusive creatures now surviving in the wild.
Around four a week are being poached say experts, with most killed by local people in revenge for livestock losses.
The report highlights concerns that the illegal trade in snow leopard skins is moving online to evade the law.
The highly camouflaged snow leopard is found across 12 countries that sweep around the Himalayan and Tibetan plateaus. These include China, Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan as well as Mongolia, Tajikistan and Russia.
The animals normally live at altitudes between 1,000 and 5,400 metres above sea level. Insulated against the cold by thick hair and fur covered feet, these nomadic leopards prey upon blue sheep and mountain ibex and other smaller creatures.
Given that they can kill animals three times their weight, their ability to hunt domestic sheep and cattle brings them into difficulties with farmers across their ranges.
According to this new study between 221 and 450 snow leopards have been poached every year since 2008. The authors say that while that number could be substantially higher, the main cause is human-wildlife conflict.
"We think that what most observations, seizure records and expert opinion shows is that the majority is still happening because of retaliatory killing," said James Compton from Traffic.
"One of the major interventions to stop that is better protection for livestock, in some of these very remote areas where you have nomad communities and herds of livestock, because that's where the friction takes place."
Over 90% of the reported poaching occurred in just five countries, China, Mongolia, Pakistan, India and Tajikistan. The report also suggests that only 21% of snow leopards were poached specifically for the illegal trade - but there seem to be many expedient attempts to cash in on the value of the skins and bones of these animals when they are killed.
"The snow leopard doesn't turn up that often in markets, what the report authors have concluded is that it's a bit opportunistic, if a snow leopard is killed and the parts or the pelt is saleable it's almost like getting your own back for the livestock you've lost," said James Compton.
One of the worries is the rise of clandestine sales on social media and e-commerce. As well as skins and furs there is a market online for claws and teeth, which are advertised as having medicinal properties.
With a third of the snow leopard's range falling along international borders that have seen considerable conflict in recent years, the report calls for greater cross-border co-operation, especially on law enforcement. At present just a quarter of known cases of poaching are investigated.
The study also calls for greater incentives for local communities to protect these iconic animals.
"Even if there is reduced demand for snow leopard skins, the killing will continue unless we all work together to drastically reduce human-wildlife conflict and ensure that mountain communities can co-exist with snow leopards," said Rishi Sharma, from WWF who is a co-author of the report.
"Compensation schemes and innovative predator-proof corrals are making a difference but we urgently need to expand these to benefit communities - and snow leopards - across Asia's high mountains."
While there is increasing pressure on snow leopards from humans and a changing climate, there have been some successful attempts to reverse these trends.
In Kyrgyzstan, an initiative involving the government and conservationists has seen a former hunting concession in Shamshy turned into a wildlife sanctuary. The growth in the numbers of ibex has seen a number of snow leopards re-enter the area, as evidenced by photographs.
"The first camera trapped images of these elusive big cats to come from the area are a powerful reminder that, if we work together we can secure key wildlife habitats so that species like the snow leopard are given the levels of protection needed to survive," said Sally Case from the David Shepherd Foundation, who are working with the Kyrgyz government and the Snow Leopard Trust to develop the Shamshy sanctuary.
While the area is too small to be able to host a sizeable snow leopard population, it could serve as the core of a larger habitat in years to come.
"We are thrilled to see that the snow leopard is already in Shamshy," said Musaev Almaz, from the Kyrgyz government's department of rational use of natural resources.
"This cat is an important part of our national culture and heritage, we are committed to securing its future."

Greater Manchester University Technical College (UTC) on Middleton Road in Oldham, which opened in 2014, will close at the end of the academic year.
Exam results show none of its GCSE students achieved grade A* to C in English or engineering last year.
A statement on the college's website said a shortage of students meant it was not financially viable.
The school, which has a capacity for 600 pupils aged 14 to 19, had just 127 students in January 2016.
Instead of following a traditional school route, students study specialist courses in sustainable engineering, alongside GCSEs and A-levels.
Official figures show that, of the 46 students who sat their GCSEs in 2016, none achieved a grade C or above in English or engineering.
A quarter of pupils gained their GCSE maths, and one in five passed science.
Under the government's new Progress 8 benchmark measure, it is "well below national average" and ranked among the lowest 10% of schools in England.
Principal Lee Kilgour said existing students in years 11 and 13 would be allowed to complete their studies in the summer term and that students will be "well prepared for examinations this summer".
"We will be working closely with Oldham Local Authority and other local education providers to bring about a smooth transition for existing students in Years 10 and 12."
The UTC said: "Resources made available to schools and colleges are irretrievably linked to the number of students on roll and, unfortunately, the fact that the UTC has been unable to recruit enough students within the Oldham district and further afield has meant that it is not financially viable into the future."
College chairman Gordon Main said the closure is "hugely disappointing".
UTC, which is sponsored by the University of Bolton, opened in September 2014 and is yet to be visited by Ofsted.
The complaints were about cyclists travelling at speed on pedestrian routes in and around the city centre.
Police they had traditionally applied discretion around the issue.
But after getting a number of complaints, Police Scotland has decided to remind cyclists that it is an offence to use footpaths.
Insp Jill Moss said: "Whilst we can understand that some cyclists may not feel safe or comfortable cycling on busy roads, we would urge people to refrain from cycling on footpaths and placing pedestrians in danger.
"If you decide that a road is too busy to cycle on then please choose an alternative route or dismount and walk with your cycle on the footpath until it is safe to continue on the road.
"Cycling on a footpath is an offence and anybody found committing such an offence may be issued with a fixed penalty notice."
She added: "As the nights get darker it is important that you keep safe by wearing suitable reflective clothing and fitting lights to your cycle where they can be seen by other road users."
For, as fate would have it, Greece's foes in Group B include the country that last suffered a comparable economic fiasco: Argentina.
In the worst-case scenario, Argentina's recent past is Greece's future.
The peso collapse, massive default and subsequent social and political unrest that rocked Argentina in 2001-2002 are being seen by many economists as an awful warning for the politicians in Athens and Brussels.
As far as football is concerned, the two sides will meet on 22 June. For both teams, it will be their third and final group match.
But the day of decision for the Greek economy will come sooner, on 19 May, when the country needs to stave off default by honouring bonds worth 8.5bn euros ($11.2bn; £7.3bn).
The EU and the IMF have agreed to lend Greece 110bn euros over three years to bail out its stricken economy.
But the deal still needs to clear hurdles in the French and German legislatures, while Greece itself must implement severe budget cuts in return for the money.
And, of course, the Greek drama does not end there. The road to recovery will be long and painful, as the country struggles to regain lost competitiveness and get its costs into line with major EU economies.
Even at first glance, Greece's woes have a lot in common with those of Argentina nearly a decade ago.
On the level of gut instinct - which is, after all, the way the markets generally work - the Greek crisis has the same slow-motion train-wreck feel that characterised Argentina's slide into turmoil.
In Argentina's case, the government struggled to keep the economy on the rails for most of 2000 and 2001 before President Fernando de la Rua was forced to resign.
His replacement, Adolfo Rodriguez Saa, lasted just a week in office. But before stepping down, he triggered a $102bn debt default which the country is still trying to remedy.
Argentina's current Finance Minister, Amado Boudou, is hoping that its latest debt swap offer, covering $18.3bn of defaulted bonds, will help rebuild relations with world credit markets.
Since the government is currently unable to borrow on those markets, it has been raiding the central bank's reserves in order to pay off debt - a policy that prompted its boss, Martin Redrado, to resign in January after a bitter public row with President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
That's the kind of disarray that Greece can look forward to unless it manages to get its fiscal house in order.
But aside from the protracted nature of Greece's suffering, there are other, deeper parallels between the two countries' predicaments.
For a start, they both locked themselves into a currency regime that gave them no flexibility.
Greece, of course, is in the eurozone, so its monetary policy is decided by the European Central Bank in Frankfurt.
In contrast, Argentina kept its own currency, the peso. But under the Law of Convertibility, passed in 1991 and not abandoned until January 2002, its value was fixed at parity with the US dollar.
That policy was the brainchild of Peronist President Carlos Menem's finance minister at the time, Domingo Cavallo, as a way of restoring the currency's credibility after years of rampant inflation.
Initially, it worked well - so well that it became an article of faith for the opposition Radical Party, too.
In the late 1990s, I interviewed the Radicals' Jose Luis Machinea, tipped for the finance portfolio once the party won the next election.
He was adamant that "convertibility" would be the cornerstone of his policy - and he kept his word when he got the job in December 1999.
But he lasted less than 15 months in office before resigning as the government's efforts to defend the currency peg led to unpopular spending cuts.
Argentina had let its public debt get out of control, as Greece has now. At the same time, the link to the dollar meant that it suffered from the ups and downs of the US economy, just as the eurozone imposes a one-size-fits-all straitjacket on its diverse economies that stops them devaluing or setting their own interest rates.
If Greece is to go down the route of Argentina, it will have to leave the euro and default on most of its debt.
Since Argentina is still being penalised for that, in terms of its pariah financial status, it scarcely looks attractive.
Worse still, Greece has much higher debt levels than Argentina did and is less competitive in world markets.
Argentina clearly has lessons to teach the eurozone. But the UK, too, should pay attention.
In the late 1990s, when convertibility was still working for Argentina, there was a feeling among the Buenos Aires elite that the country had genuinely changed and become a more responsible place.
In the days of hyperinflation, people had maintained the value of their savings by exchanging their local cash for dollars and hiding them somewhere in their homes.
The only bank that was trusted was the "colchon bank" - "colchon" being Spanish for mattress.
That habit briefly abated, but is now back again. Much as Britain never really eliminated boom and bust, so Argentina's essential nature remains unchanged.
And if you want evidence to back up the view recently attributed to Bank of England governor Mervyn King - that the winning party in the UK's general election will have to take such unpopular economic measures that it will be out of power for a generation - look also to Argentina.
It might have been Mr Menem's Peronists that pegged the currency and ran up the debt, but the resulting crisis happened on the Radicals' watch - and it almost destroyed them as a political party.
This summer, football will provide an exciting diversion for Argentina, Greece and England. But when economic reality sinks in again, we will all have to pay the penalty.
Under legislation passed in parliament on Tuesday, killings linked to allegations of witchcraft will now be treated as murder.
The death penalty will be applied to more crimes, including rape, and more methods of execution have been approved.
Amnesty International condemned the move to toughen penalties.
"Papua New Guinea has taken one step forward in protecting women from violence by repealing the Sorcery Act, but several giant steps back by moving closer to executions," Amnesty's deputy director for the Asia-Pacific Isabelle Arradon said in a statement.
In parts of Papua New Guinea, deaths and mysterious illnesses are sometimes blamed on suspected sorcerers, usually women. But officials say accusations of witchcraft are used to justify violence.
The repeal of the 1971 Sorcery Act, which acknowledged the accusation of sorcery as a plausible defence in murder cases, came after a series of brutal public killings.
In February, a 20-year-old mother accused of sorcery was burned alive in a village market. Two months later, a woman accused of black magic was beheaded.
Sorcery-related killings will now be treated as murder and the death penalty will be applicable, local media said.
Ms Arradon called the repeal of the act "long overdue" but accused the government of "attempting to end one of form of violence by perpetrating state-sanctioned violence".
Lawmakers have also approved legislation allowing the death penalty to be applied to aggravated rape - gang-rape, the use of a weapon, or rape of a child - and armed robbery, PNG's The National reported.
Parliament approved several methods for applying the death penalty, the Post Courier reported, including hanging, lethal injection, firing squad and electrocution.
Penalties for kidnapping, theft and white-collar crime were also toughened, with longer jail terms prescribed.
The laws were tough but reflected crime levels and community demands, The National quoted Justice and Attorney General Kerenga Kua as saying.
Papua New Guinea has not carried out an execution since 1954, despite parliament's decision to reintroduce the death penalty for murder in 1991. At least 10 people are currently on death row, Amnesty said.
PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neil announced plans to begin implementing the death penalty and to increase prison sentences for violent crimes last month, saying "draconian" measures were needed.
His move followed a number of high-profile crimes in the Pacific nation, including the gang-rape of a US academic in April.
The report recommended Sandrock, who resigned as German Football Association (DFB) general secretary in February, is fined and should perform social work.
Fifa has been investigating Sandrock and five others since March over the awarding of the 2006 World Cup.
Last week, Swiss prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into the case.
Ex-DFB president Wolfgang Niersbach and Germany legend Franz Beckenbauer, who headed the bid, were named by the Swiss prosecutors as two of four individuals suspected of fraud, criminal mismanagement, money laundering and misappropriation.
Sandrock was not one of those named.
However, in its report Fifa's ethics committee said Sandrock had violated its general rules governing conduct, loyalty and duty of disclosure, cooperation and reporting.
In November, tax authorities raided the DFB's headquarters after it emerged the federation had made a secret payment of 6.7m euros (£4.6m) to Fifa in 2005.
An internal audit failed to find any trace of the 6.7m euros in the DFB's tax documents. The DFB denies the claims.
German news weekly Der Spiegel had claimed the money had been used to set up a slush fund to buy votes in the 2006 World Cup bidding process. | Jordan Ayew's late penalty gave Steve Bruce his first win as Aston Villa manager to end Reading's unbeaten Championship home record.

The £6m development of Shakespeare's New Place marks the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death.
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has transformed the Stratford-upon-Avon world heritage site, which was demolished in 1759.
The playwright purchased New Place in 1597 when it was the largest single dwelling in the town.
Diana Owen, chief executive of Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, said: "We're delighted to be re-opening the most important, permanent Shakespeare anniversary project anywhere in the world.
"Visitors can walk in his footsteps and experience a wonderful new imaginative garden on the site."
New Place reopened to the public after Staffordshire University's Centre of Archaeology dug through the site in Chapel Street.
They discovered a hearth, cold storage pit and even a brewery.
The Bard lived at New Place for the last 19 years of his life.
Bryant, 37, the third-highest scorer in NBA history, will bring his 20-year career to an end when the Lakers face Utah Jazz in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
At the same time, defending champions Golden State Warriors will be going for a record 73 wins when they host Memphis Grizzlies in Oakland, California.
Resale tickets for that game are going for up to $15,900 (£11,155).
The Warriors are looking to break a record set by Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls in 1995-96.
The game is a 19,595 capacity sell-out with tickets only available via the resale market. Tickets via official channels start at $336 (£236) and rise to £15,900 for courtside seats on resale websites such as Stubhub.
Only resale tickets can be bought for the Lakers' game at the 18,118-capacity Staples Center too, with prices fetching between $700 (£491) and $27,500 for the chance to see 18-time all-star and five-time championship winner Bryant for a final time.
The Lakers have issued a fraud alert to fans warning them to only buy from their official ticket exchange, where fans can resell tickets securely. However, buyers using the official exchange can still expect to pay up to $10,000 (£7,000) to see the game.
Shaker Aamer told the Mail on Sunday that he denounced attacks such as the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby, saying "you cannot just kill anybody".
Mr Aamer said reuniting with his wife in London had "washed away the pain".
But he told the BBC he feared his four children, including a son he had never met before, saw him as a stranger.
The 48-year-old was held at the US military base in Cuba over allegations he had led a Taliban unit in Afghanistan and met al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, but he was never charged.
In his first broadcast interview since being released, Mr Aamer revealed details of the abuse he alleges was inflicted on him by American interrogators.
He also claimed a British intelligence officer witnessed him being beaten at a US air base in Afghanistan, where he was first held, but did nothing to stop the abuse.
Speaking to the Victoria Derbyshire programme, he said his interrogators at Bagram air base repeatedly banged his head against the wall.
"I felt my head - boom, boom, boom - banging the wall. And all I remember [is] that my head just kept banging the wall, back and forth, back and forth."
Asked if he was certain a British intelligence officer was present, he replied: "I would say 80, 90%. I have no doubt he is an Englishman, because of the way he spoke, the way he is very careful, the way he was sitting far away, looking at me."
He said the day before the incident he had "met John, who already told me 'I'm with the MI5 intelligence service and I came to ask you a few questions'. So, I have no doubt he was an Englishman."
Soon after the 9/11 attacks on the US, Mr Aamer was detained in Afghanistan by bounty hunters tracking down and handing over possible al-Qaeda suspects. He was transferred to Guantanamo Bay in 2002.
Accusations against Mr Aamer were dropped in 2007 but it was another eight years before he was released. He has said he was in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan in 2001 to make a better life for his family.
Responding to the accusations against him, Mr Aamer said none was true: "You were an al-Qaeda operative? No, not at all.
"Prove it... prove anything that you say... prove it to the world," he said.
Saudi-born Mr Aamer, who moved to the UK in the 1990s, told the Mail on Sunday he initially did not believe he was returning to England until he saw fields through the plane window as he was flown back in October.
He was reunited with his wife, Zinneera, that evening.
"At last, that moment I'd dreamt of came and she came through the door," he told the paper. "That instant washed away the pain of 14 years. It washed away the tiredness, the agony, the stress.
"It was like it no longer existed. I hugged her, she hugged me, and we just wept."
In his BBC interview, he described seeing his children again, including his 14-year-old son for the first time.
"They look at me and they're just trying to know, Who is this person? I feel like they are just looking at a stranger."
Shaker Aamer's denunciation of modern-day jihadists is a hugely important moment in the fight for hearts and minds.
His generation came of age in the shadow of the Bosnia war where, in the mid-1990s, young men fought to protect European Muslims from certain genocide.
Mr Aamer says he did not fight in Bosnia, but those who did believed that their "jihad" was a legitimate and defensive "just war" - and in the UK none of them was ever accused of terrorism.
Others took a different path. They adopted Osama Bin Laden's interpretation of jihad - a war against the West which they blamed for virtually everything.
Extremists have long used the imprisonment of Mr Aamer - and others like him - as part of their recruitment drive.
His public demolition of their claimed justifications might just be the words that some on the cusp of violent extremism need to hear.
In the Mail interview, he claimed about 200 individual interrogators dealt with him in the time he was held.
He also claimed he had been tortured by being deprived of sleep and shackled to the floor in sub-zero temperatures.
Discussing terror attacks in the UK, he said: "How can you give yourself the right to be living here in this country, and living with the people and acting like you are a normal person, and then you just walk in the street and try to kill people?"
He added that killing civilians was not allowed according to his understanding of Islam.
"Even if there is a war you cannot kill just anybody, you cannot kill kids, you cannot kill chaplains, you cannot just go in the street and get a knife and start stabbing people," he said.
"If you are that angry about this country, you can get the hell out."
He also said he was concerned about a rift between Muslims and non-Muslims.
"It helps their [extremists'] cause," he said. "If you keep looking at people like they are terrorists before they do anything, then you will push them towards violence."
Former SNP leader Alex Salmond told the BBC that Mr Aamer had emerged from "5,000 days of illegal captivity both sane and with a remarkable generosity of spirit".
Mr Salmond also said questions raised by Mr Aamer about what the UK government knew of his treatment by his captors needed to be addressed, saying: "I doubt if anyone reading that comprehensive interview... would doubt the veracity of his comments."
Watch the interview with Mr Salmond here.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "The UK government stands firmly against torture and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment or punishment.
"We do not participate in, solicit, encourage or condone it for any purpose. Neither does the UK make use of any so-called enhanced interrogation techniques. We have consistently made clear our absolute opposition to such behaviour and our determination to combat it wherever and whenever it occurs."
The US Department of Defense said it did not tolerate abuse of detainees, who were all treated humanely.
"All credible allegations of abuse are thoroughly investigated, and appropriate disciplinary action is taken when those allegations are substantiated," a spokesman said.
Mr Aamer has said he wants an apology from the US government over his treatment. He has also called for the UK government to hold an "open and transparent" inquiry into allegations that the UK was complicit in torture.
Mr Aamer is believed to be in line to receive compensation from the UK government, after deals were made with previous detainees.
Prime Minister David Cameron has already asked the government's Intelligence and Security Committee to investigate claims of UK complicity in rendition and torture at Guantanamo Bay.

Elena Milashina had written that the local police head, Nazhud Guchigov, had threatened reprisals against the girl's family if she was not handed over.
The police commander was also said to be married to another woman.
Ms Milashina's newspaper said she fled after her safety was threatened.
A prominent investigative journalist with independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, she reported in late April that villagers had approached her when the 46-year-old police commander in Nozhay-Yurt prevented Kheda Goylabiyeva, 17, from leaving her home.
The paper claimed that the commander had given the family an ultimatum to hand over the girl, threatening reprisals if they did not.
Chechnya's authoritarian leader Ramzan Kadyrov, a diehard loyalist of President Vladimir Putin, has in recent years outlawed the abduction of brides and underage marriage.
Although polygamy is banned under Russian law, reports say the Chechen leader is in favour of it.
He took to his Instagram account on Thursday to criticise Russian media coverage of "this fuss ordered by some liberals".
"The girl's parents gave their blessing to this marriage," he claimed, arguing that reports to the contrary were filled with lies.
Elena Milashina was said to have visited the girl's village of Baytarki on Thursday, but then left Chechnya after being warned by police officers from Siberia of a potential threat to her safety from Chechen police.
The Chechen interior ministry said it was "extremely surprised" by the alleged threat and accused the reporter of acting provocatively by entering people's homes in the village.
Ms Milashina is well known in Russia for her reports on the northern Caucasus.
She was attacked in Moscow in 2012, when her laptop was stolen.
In 2006, Anna Politkovskaya, another renowned Novaya Gazeta investigative reporter and vocal critic of President Putin's war in Chechnya, was murdered at her block of flats in Moscow.
The baccalaureate exams were taken by half a million secondary school students earlier this week.
Police say leaked questions were posted on social media forums, while answers were sent to students on their mobile phones as they sat the exams.
The cheating first came to light when answers to a maths paper were leaked online. The exam will now be re-sat.
Officials say that 57 people have been arrested in 15 towns across the kingdom in the cash-for-answers scandal.
The Medias 24 website reported that two pages of an exam paper were even posted on Facebook the night before the test.
The roof caved in at the reception area of the Charlotte Maxeke state hospital as construction work was under way to seal a leak, officials say.
At least five people have been treated for minor injuries, including patients.
Rain had hampered rescue work at the hospital, one of the country's biggest.
One worker told the BBC: "I heard people screaming, saying: 'There are people under the rubble'."
Another said: "There was a noise, I saw rubble and dust everywhere. I don't know how many people are under there."
Stones had been moved onto the section of the roof that later collapsed, the main opposition Democratic Alliance party said.
But a statement from the provincial department of health in Gauteng province said the cause of the collapse was still unknown.
South Africa's Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi says the hospital is expected to reopen on Friday.
Britain's Wiggins, asked for his response to critics on Twitter who say riders must take drugs to win, swore four times in his answer.
He was speaking after retaining the yellow jersey on stage eight.
"I totally agree with the sentiment and I like the passion, I back him 100%," Brailsford said.
Team Sky rider Wiggins won the Paris-Nice, Tour de Romandie and Criterium du Dauphine stage races this season leading into the Tour de France, and is aiming to become the first British winner of the famous race.
"The guy's just got off his bike after a very, very hard six-hour stage. He's stuffed, he comes in and then he gets asked if he's cheating," said Brailsford.
"There may be a few choice words language-wise that you could change but, apart from that, the sentiment was spot-on as far as I'm concerned and there is no issue whatsoever for me."
Asked about the Twitter critics, Wiggins also said: "I cannot be doing with people like that.
"It's easy for them to sit under a pseudonym on Twitter, rather than get on in their own lives and apply themselves and work hard at something and achieve something."
The Tour de France has a history of doping allegations, with the latest controversy seeing seven-time winner Lance Armstrong formally charged with using performance-enhancing drugs by the US Anti-Doping Agency.
Team-mate Mark Cavendish also backed Wiggins on Twitter: "Good on [Wiggins] for an honest answer in Sunday's press conference, aimed at people who know nothing better than to be sceptical."
Monday's stage nine is the first of two longer individual time trials - 41.5km from Arc-et-Senans to Besancon.
David Lee, 31, and the woman were transporting the patient from Aberdeen to Kirkcaldy when the incident happened, a trial was told.
Mr Lee denies 15 charges involving several people.
He has lodged a special defence at Aberdeen Sheriff Court claiming all activity was consensual.
The female worker, who cannot be named, said: "He took my hand off the gearstick and put it onto his crotch.
"I said 'stop it, I'm driving at 60mph down a dual carriageway with a pregnant woman and a midwife in the back'.
"He giggled and asked if I was being moody."
The woman also claimed that the accused exposed himself to her in the back of the ambulance.
Under cross examination by defence advocate David Moggach, the female witness denied she had willingly slept with Mr Lee after a night out.
She said: "I did not sleep with that man, to my knowledge.
"There were three other people staying at my flat that night.
"I was very drunk so I went to bed."
Mr Lee is alleged to have acted in a culpable and reckless manner towards women when they were behind the wheel of an ambulance.
The court heard Mr Lee had been working with the Scottish Ambulance Service, based in Aberdeen, for some time before the women joined the service.
At the time of the alleged offences - between 2013 and 2015 - he was a fully qualified ambulance technician and was training to be a paramedic.
The trial, before Sheriff Graeme Napier, continues.
He hands me a glass of the pink, frothing juice, cooled with flakes he carved off a big block of ice, smiles and refuses to take any money.
A muezzin with a lilting, haunting tone calls the faithful to prayer, and his voice merges with salvoes of artillery fire echoing around the city walls.
Men and women, even children, are so used to the sound of shelling that they stopped flinching at the noise a long time ago.
At any rate, they do in Damascus proper, which is controlled by the regime.
This weekend, children, watched by parents on sun beds, splashed around in the pool of the hotel used by the United Nations relief staff and by foreign correspondents.
None of the families even looked up every time one of the government batteries, not far away, boomed like a demented bass drum.
The vast majority of the shellfire is going out from the regime's positions.
The rebels, much better armed now, fire some mortars back, which can be deadly, but have a shorter range than the Syrian army's artillery.
It is very different in the outer suburbs, held by the rebels, which are the targets of the shelling. Among them are the places hit by the chemical weapons attack.
On previous trips to Damascus, I have been to some of them, so battered now by war that almost no building is undamaged, and some streets are impassable because of the rubble.
No-one goes to the swimming pool there. Most of the civilians have left, becoming part of the more than four million people displaced within Syria, or the two million plus who have fled the country to become refugees.
Outside the Umayyad mosque, a young man called Walid, his hair slicked back with wet-look gel, stops on his way to prayer. Like many people in Damascus at the end of the week, he has been following the G-20 conference in St Petersburg on television.
"Yes, I know the American president wants to bomb us, but we're too strong, because we're backed by the Chinese and the Russians. And we're united behind President [Bashar al-]Assad."
A Muslim cleric visiting from Lebanon, Sheikh Abdul Salim al-Harash, says he is glad the Americans no longer have it all their own way.
"These days, other countries like Russia, South Africa and India can take decisions, and they're against military action."
The fact is though that Syria is still waiting for the results of decisions made elsewhere, most critically in Washington DC.
A week ago, when it looked as if US President Barack Obama was on the point of ordering an attack, government-controlled Damascus was tense and unhappy.
I saw what that meant at a bakery. Syrians love their fragrant, steaming piles of flat bread, and thanks to government subsidies each piece costs less than £0.10 ($0.16) at state-owned bakeries.
Unruly queues were spilling out of the bakery and down the street. Young men and boys were climbing in over its steel barred gates to outflank the women and older men who were trying to push their way up the steps to the bread window.
A middle-aged woman in a headscarf and dressed in a black abaya had tears of anger and frustration rolling down her face after she was jostled out of the bread line. She pointed at men emerging with big piles of bread. The woman, who did not want to give her name, said they were black marketeers who resold the bread for two or three times the price.
The mood lifted once President Obama ordered the vote in the US Congress on military action. Now though, the edgy nervousness is coming back as the vote approaches.
Once again, Damascenes are asking whether a toxic cloud might poison them if an American missile hits a chemical weapons site, or whether the armed rebels in the suburbs would use an American attack to try to push closer to the regime's centres of power.

One Syrian, well connected to the regime, asked me what it was like to be in a city bombed by American cruise missiles.
I told him what I had seen in Baghdad, Iraq, and Tripoli, Libya, which was that the missiles were accurate and powerful, and the explosions would be louder than the worst thunderclaps he had ever heard. The important thing, I told him, was to stay clear of likely targets, places like military bases and key regime buildings.
Whichever way the US Congress votes, the war in Syria is entering a new phase.
Jihadists, allied or affiliated with al-Qaeda, are increasingly prominent among the armed rebels. But more than ever, Syria has become a proxy war, a boxing ring with no rules in which regional powers use Syrians to fight their battles.
The most significant is between Saudi Arabia and Iran, who compete for influence from Lebanon down to the Gulf. The Saudis back the insurrection, Iran is the Assad regime's closest strategic partner.
But to add another layer of trouble, the President of the United States wants to mount an attack on the regime. Mr Obama will not say publicly whether he will go ahead with the attack, using his presidential prerogatives, if he loses the vote.
Even if he accepts a veto from Congress, it will not mean an end to American involvement. He will still work to punish the regime for what he says was an unforgiveable crime, which President Assad's men say was carried out by the rebels.
Damascus is an ancient city that has seen generations of wars. Mark Twain wrote that in Damascus, years were only moments. Time, he said, was measured by the empires the city has seen rise and fall.
President Assad must be hoping that this crisis will be a way station in America's decline in the Middle East. President Obama believes that action is necessary or others will dare to call the bluff of the most powerful nation on earth.
Every house and block of flats in Damascus bristles with TV satellite dishes. Official Syrian television serves up nationalistic homages to the bravery of the armed forces.
But plenty of the TVs in Damascus in the next week will be tuned to international news channels as Syrians follow the debate in Washington, and try to assess exactly what the man in the Oval Office might send their way.
And even in an era before the collapse of trust in politicians, the word "non-political" carried a lot of weight.
A similar dynamic has been at play during the European Union referendum campaign.
Both sides have been keen to roll out business leaders to support their cause, believing that voters are willing to listen to people who actually make decisions on employing people and investing in the UK economy.
For Remain, a series of business big-hitters have backed the UK staying in the EU, saying leaving would risk job losses and threaten economic growth.
How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU.
They include Sir Roger Carr, chairman of the aerospace giant BAE, Dame Carolyn McCall, chief executive of easyJet, Bob Dudley, chief executive of BP, and Douglas Flint, the chairman of HSBC.
Remain supporters insist that the weight of business opinion is on their side.
And certainly nearly all the reputable polls on the issue have put business support for Remain ahead of support for Leave.
Today's by the British Chambers of Commerce, one of the largest, puts "Remain" leading "Leave" among its members 54% to 37%.
Leave supporters respond by saying that larger businesses tend to be more pro-EU and speak for the "establishment", smaller businesses and those that do not export to other parts of the EU are more negative and that they have some significant business voices on their side.
They include Tim Martin, chairman of pub chain JD Wetherspoons, Luke Johnson, chairman of Patisserie Valerie and the man behind the success of Pizza Express, and Rocco Forte, chief executive of Rocco Forte Hotels.
And one ray of sunshine for the Leave campaign from the BCC survey is that the poll lead for remain among businesses has fallen from 30% to 17%.
Though it is also worth noting that 90% of those that responded to the poll said that their mind was now settled, which suggests there is not much chance of a substantial further shift before the referendum on 23rd June.
The BCC survey, and today's study by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research - which is expected to claim a high economic cost if Britain leaves the EU - kicks off another week where the economy will dominate much of the EU debate.
On Wednesday George Osborne appears before the Treasury Select Committee to be questioned on the Treasury report which said that the UK economy could be 6% smaller by 2030 if Britain left the EU.
On Thursday the Governor of the Bank of England will appear in public for one of the last major economic reports from the Bank on the state of the UK economy before the referendum.
Mark Carney is likely to strike a gloomy note after manufacturing and service growth data suggested that economic growth had fallen to as low as 0.1% in April, down from 0.4% for the first three months of the year.
How much he attributes that to Brexit risk or just general economic gloom will be fascinating.
The week will be rounded off by the International Monetary Fund's annual study of the British economy which is set to say that leaving the EU will carry a significant bill for Britain.
Mr Osborne wants to keep the focus on the economic argument that leaving the EU is bad for Britain.
For those who support Brexit, Project Fear, as they describe it, is in full voice.
The Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) said a future Scottish government would need to raise tax, cut spending or accept higher debt.
Scots ministers said social protection was more affordable in Scotland.
Shadow pensions minister Gregg McClymont said the UK made them affordable north of the border.
The think tank report came ahead of the 18 September independence referendum.
In a paper submitted to the Scottish Parliament's finance committee, the PPI said, despite lower life expectancy levels overall for Scotland, the population was ageing more quickly than the rest of the UK.
The UK state pension is paid to men from 65 and women from 61, but the age is to increase to 67 for all by 2028.
The Scottish government has said the basic state pension would continue to be paid "on time and in full" under independence and that, from 2016, new pensioners would be given £160 a week.
Ministers also said an expert commission set up in the first year of independence would consider the appropriate level of the country's state pension age.
The PPI said of the Scottish government's proposals: "The overall impact of the Scottish government policy proposals on annual pensioner benefit expenditure would be to further increase expenditure per working age individual in Scotland.
"After allowing for expected changes in earnings, and focusing on the difference between Scotland under the Scottish government proposals and the UK as a whole, the difference peaks at £330 per individual of working age in 2032, where Scotland would still have a lower state pension age than the rest of the UK - £180 of this is due to the policy changes, with the remainder due to underlying demographic differences."
The PPI added: "Although the proposals put forward by the Scottish government would increase expenditure on pensioner benefits, if implemented, they could also lead to higher state pension incomes for pensioners in Scotland compared to the rest of the UK, depending on the final level of the single-tier pension on introduction in 2016 and the rate at which it is increased."
Ms Sturgeon said her government had set out plans for "an affordable, fair and efficient pensions system" in an independent Scotland.
She added: "The fact is that social protection spending, which includes pensions and welfare, is more affordable in Scotland than in the rest of the UK - and has been so for the last five years.
"We already know that we need to grow our working age population and that is exactly why we have set out the benefits to our economy of improving productivity, increasing employment and securing population growth, which can deliver an additional £5bn a year by the end of a 15 year period.
"The challenge of supporting an ageing population comes regardless of the outcome of the referendum - but it is only independence that gives us tools to tackle it."
Mr McClymont, speaking on behalf of the Better Together campaign for the Union, said: "Pooling and sharing our resources across the whole of the UK means pensions are more affordable in Scotland.
"Experts have made clear that if we walk away from the UK we would need tax rises or spending cuts to pay for pensions in Scotland.
"We don't need to take that risk. If we say 'no thanks' to leaving the UK, we can have the best of both worlds - a strong Scottish Parliament, with more powers for Scotland guaranteed; and the protection for our pensions that comes from being part of the larger UK."
The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) said the European single market was "central to the success of Scotch".
It warned against the UK voting to leave the EU in the June referendum.
But Brexit campaigners Vote Leave said leading exports and industries had prospered "because of hard work at home, not because of EU membership".
The SWA warning came as Westminster Environment Secretary Liz Truss met industry figures at a distillery in East Lothian to discuss the importance of the EU market to the sector.
Speaking ahead of her visit to Diageo's Glenkinchie Distillery near Pencaitland, she said: "We should all raise a toast to our biggest export success.
"Europe has a taste for Scotch and the industry will do better if we remain in the EU because whisky producers have hassle-free, easy access to the single market of 500 million people.
"The Scotch whisky industry has strong global trade links beyond Europe in America and Asia, and their business leaders are clear that the EU single market provides the best conditions to reach even greater heights.
"Leaving the EU would be a leap in the dark for our great British food and drink industry and could lead to years of negotiations on new trade deals - with no guarantees at the end."
Drinks giant Diageo's chief executive Ivan Menezes said his firm strongly believed that the UK should remain in the EU.
He said: "The single market gives us a level playing field and open access across the EU, while the EU's clout in international trade helps to open up new markets with agreements favourable to the UK, reducing tariffs and resolving trade disputes."
SWA chief executive David Frost said: "Scotch supports around 40,000 jobs across the UK, adds around £5bn in value to the economy and is vital to the UK balance of trade.
"EU membership has many advantages for Scotch.
"The single market, including its regulation of food and drink, and its single trade policy are central to the success of Scotch. It lets us trade across the EU simply and easily and helps give us fairer access to other overseas markets."
Vote Leave spokesman Robert Oxley said: "Pro-EU campaigners are unable to comprehend that our leading exports and industries have prospered because of hard work at home, not because of EU membership.
"In fact, we cannot even harness the biggest growth export markets for Scotch whisky because we've handed control over our trade deals to the EU which is terrible at negotiating them."

Relive the match from the Britannia Stadium
Media playback is not supported on this device
Southampton went into the match on the back of three winless games which had threatened to hurt their ambitions of claiming a Europa League spot.
They grabbed the three points at the Britannia Stadium on the back of a counter-attacking display having managed just 38.6% possession.
Pelle was the match-winner with his two strikes in the opening period, but they will be thankful two refereeing decisions did not cost them.
Dusan Tadic, who failed to shoot from seven yards out at an open goal in the first half, was clearly tripped in the box by Stoke keeper Jack Butland, but the Serbian's appeal for a penalty was waved away by referee Lee Mason.
And in stoppage time, Mane mistimed a jump for a header having kept his eyes on the ball, catching full-back Erik Pieters, which Mason deemed to be a straight red. They have now had six players sent off this campaign, more than any other side.
Stoke searched for the equaliser but could not find a way past the solid Virgil van Dijk, who made 17 clearances in the match.
Stoke had won three and drawn one of their previous four games but came unstuck after failing to keep their composure in the attacking third of the pitch.
They didn't manage to work goalkeeper Fraser Forster in the first half and although Austrian Arnautovic gave them hope by netting with a neat finish and forcing the big Englishman into a smart save, those efforts were their only two on target.
The Potters failed to do the homework on their opponents, who scored their 12th headed goal this season - more than any other top-flight side.
Although record signing Giannelli Imbula influenced the game, having more touches (114) and more passes (91) than any player on the pitch, it was their profligacy up front which cost them the points.
Stoke have now lost six league games in front of their own crowd this season and their hopes of clinching a Europa League spot now look slim.
Stoke boss Mark Hughes: "We have been on a decent run recently. We go into these games full of ambition but you have to be spot on with the details.
"At this level, if you make mistakes, you get punished. It is a harsh lesson. That has almost certainly been the case at home this season."

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman: "We needed to be calm and the team had a fantastic reaction after 2-1 to get the control back.
"We had the better chances and we were unlucky with two decisions with the referee. One was a penalty and the red card was not a red card. Still, at 2-1, we got the three points in a huge game today and that is very important for our aspirations for the rest of season. "
Stoke will be looking to get back to winning ways when they travel to Watford next Saturday (kick-off 15:00 GMT), while Southampton host Liverpool on Sunday, 20 March (13:30).
Homes were evacuated over fears about smoke and possible building collapse.
No-one was injured during Wednesday's fire at the Mandarin Palace restaurant on Queen's Quay.
The fire service and the police are still investigating the cause of the blaze.
Up to 130 firefighters from across Northern Ireland worked overnight to tackle the fire.
The Foyle area fire service commander, David Hayburn, said there has been extensive damage.
"We had 15 pumping appliances and three aerial appliances in operation yesterday, the main effort was to stop the fire spreading and endangering those nearby flats.
"The crews worked very hard to contain the fire in the restaurant area but we're very sad to say that the restaurant has suffered extensive fire damage," Mr Hayburn said.
"The whole cooking area and the kitchens in this restaurant are destroyed, it has suffered not just substantial damage but also collapse of the structure and the moment we're still tackling the remaining fires to make the building safe."
The fire service said they are treating it as "cause not determined" because they're "not sure at the moment how the fire started"
Police forensic teams will examine the scene later on Thursday.
PSNI Ch Insp Andy Lemon said it was one of the biggest fires he had ever seen in the city.
"I actually watched it from my office and it started off with small wisps coming from the roof and then very quickly there was smoke billowing from the eaves developing into a major fire.
"At one stage the roof actually collapsed in the centre and we had flames 20 maybe 30 ft high.
"The potential was that this fire could have spread to the whole of the block."
Paul Arthur from an adjacent business, told BBC Radio Foyle he was concerned about damage to his premises.
"Fortunately for us our building is not on fire but there's a lot of smoke and it's furniture that we do and that will do a lot of damage to our product. But the product doesn't matter, it's the people next door that I feel for."
German research on 397 10-year-olds found that living close to a major road increased resistance by 7% per 500m.
Air pollutants are known to be oxidisers that can impact on lipids and proteins in the blood.
But some experts say the results should be treated with caution.
The children in the study were invited for blood sampling at the age of 10, and glucose and insulin measurements were taken.
Their level of exposure to traffic pollution was estimated using air pollution figures from 2008-09 for their birth address neighbourhood.
The results were adjusted to take into account birth weight, body mass index (BMI) and exposure to second-hand smoke at home.
The study concluded that levels of insulin resistance were greater in children with higher exposure to air pollution, such as nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter.
It also found a larger effect in children with higher BMIs.
Elisabeth Thiering and Joachim Heinrich, who led the research at the German Research Centre for Environmental Health in Neuherberg, said the link between traffic pollution and insulin resistance could be explained.
"Although toxicity differs between air pollutants, they are all considered potent oxidisers that act either directly on lipids and proteins, or indirectly through the activation of intracellular oxidant pathways," said Dr Heinrich.
"Oxidative stress caused by exposure to air pollutants may therefore play a role in the development of insulin resistance."
But Prof Jon Ayres, an expert in environmental and respiratory medicine, of the University of Birmingham, said the results were not clear-cut.
"As the authors point out, their measurements of fasting blood insulin levels and estimations of air pollution levels were not taken at the same time.
"Therefore, these results should be regarded with caution, and a larger and methodologically more secure study needs to be done to confirm the possible link between air pollution from traffic emissions and insulin resistance in children."
Previous studies have shown links between air pollution and other chronic conditions, such as atherosclerosis and heart disease.
Yet to date, epidemiological studies that have examined associations between long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution and type 2 diabetes in adults are inconsistent, and studies on the effect of air pollution on insulin resistance in children are scarce.
Frank Kelly, professor of environmental health at King's College London, said children were particularly vulnerable.
"They have a larger lung-to-body volume ratio, their airway epithelium is more permeable to air pollutants, and the lung defence mechanisms against particulate matter pollution and gaseous pollution are not fully evolved."
"Breathing the same pollutant concentrations, children may have a two to fourfold higher dose reaching the lung compared with adults.
"It is of interest that this new study demonstrates that both particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide are linked to increased risk of insulin resistance in children. This finding is especially relevant for cities in the UK such as London, which regularly exceeds current EU limit values for nitrogen dioxide."
Adrian Goldsmith, known as "Otis", is charged with the murder of 49-year-old Jill Goldsmith at their home in Northampton.
She was found dead in a pool of blood in their porch on 26 March last year.
A can of paint, a battery and a mallet were all used in the attack, the court heard.
The couple, who married in May 2014, had considered divorcing but planned to move to the countryside for a fresh start, the jury was told.
Computer logs show that at 12:40 GMT Mrs Goldsmith was looking at houses online. Half an hour later, her husband called 999 to say she had tried to kill him.
He was arrested at their home in Wootton Hall Park, where officers found him holding a kitchen knife and broken glass, Stafford Crown Court heard.
Mr Goldsmith was sweating, shaking and crying, had blood on his face and had stabbed himself to make it look like self defence, the jury was told.
The court heard he told officers that he was forced to use a can of paint and a battery as weapons after Mrs Goldsmith attacked him with a knife. She then hit herself on the back of the head with a mallet, he said.
However, John Lloyd-Jones QC, prosecuting, said Mr Goldsmith "lost his temper with his wife and in that rage beat her to death".
He said the defendant was frustrated by his wife's sex drive as she went through the menopause, and disapproved of her smoking cannabis.
"He enjoyed drinking alcohol and unfortunately his personality could change, he could turn nasty and this made his wife feel frightened of him.
"He would obsess about matters, frequently over complicating things... it was all very self absorbed," Mr Lloyd-Jones said.
Mr Goldsmith, who had served with Northamptonshire Police for 28 years, was investigated for misconduct and went on long term sick leave with stress before his wife's death.
The trial is expected to last up to three weeks.
The men, one aged in his 20s and one in his 50s, were working at Harford Attachments in Norwich when they died shortly after 09:00 BST on Monday.
Their identities have not yet been released.
Police, fire investigators and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) remain at the scene.
It is understood the men had been working in a paint-spraying area.
Harford Attachments, on Spar Road, makes buckets for the front of diggers.
Three workers were treated for smoke inhalation, with staff evacuated to a nearby bathrooms company, the fire service said.
The HSE said it was looking at processes and would be gathering samples and other scientific evidence.
Radek Kaminski, who works at a nearby car valeting company, said he had been outside when he heard the explosion.
"We hear a lot of bangs here, people dropping sheet metal and things like that, but I felt the pressure change in my ears," he said.
"Then I saw the smoke."
Ed Fossey, of Blockbuster Drain Service, said: "We didn't hear the explosion, the first we were aware of it was thick black smoke pouring in the back.
"We had to pull the shutters down as it was coming into the workshop.
"The sky was really dark."
Harford Attachments said: "The thoughts of everyone at Harford Attachments are with loved ones of our two friends and colleagues who lost their lives yesterday.
"The company is co-operating fully with the authorities in their enquiries and are unable to comment further at this time."
The comments came after an emergency meeting, but no details were released about what measures may be planned.
Currency investors have been piling into the Swiss franc, which - like gold - is popular in times of trouble because of its relative safety.
This has increased the value of the franc, hurting Swiss exporters.
The US dollar hit a record low of 0.7485 against the franc on Monday, before the greenback recovered slightly to 0.7525.
The Swiss franc remains about 30% stronger against the dollar than a year ago.
Meanwhile, Switzerland's main SMI stock index ended Monday trading down 4%.
The franc also strengthened 0.3% to 1.0917 per euro, despite the European Central Bank said be intervening in the financial markets to help bring stability.
According to the Bloomberg news agency, the franc is higher this year against 16 major currencies.
"The Swiss franc is the gauge of how nervous the market is," said Jane Foley, a foreign exchange strategist at Rabobank International.
In January, Switzerland's Federation of Small and Medium Businesses described the franc's appreciation as a "crisis".
The Swiss central bank has in the past intervened in the currency markets to halt the franc's rise against the euro, but with only limited success.
Last week, the country cut its interest rates in a bid to make its currency less attractive.
The Blues boss said his medical staff were "naive" for treating Eden Hazard during the 2-2 draw with Swansea.
Carneiro will continue to be Chelsea's first-team doctor but her role at the club will be significantly changed, according to the Daily Telegraph.
She will no longer attend matches or training sessions.
Carneiro will, however, continue to work with first-team players at Chelsea's Cobham training ground.
Having had goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois sent off on 52 minutes, the Blues were later down to nine men for a period of Saturday's game after staff ran on to treat Hazard when he was tripped.
If a player receives treatment on the pitch, he must leave the field.
"I was unhappy with my medical staff. They were impulsive and naive," said Mourinho.
"Whether you are a kit man, doctor or secretary on the bench you have to understand the game."
Carneiro, who joined Chelsea in 2009, thanked people for their support on Monday.
A club spokesman said: "We don't comment on internal staff matters."
Jeremy 'Jez' Prescott, 51, from Telford, Shropshire, was "doing something he loved" when he died, his family said.
A tribute said: "We are obviously devastated to lose Jez, who was both a beloved husband and father."
Two people died and two were treated in hospital after the strike on Sunday.
One has now been discharged.
A Royal Marines cadet instructor who tried to help on Corn Du described the scene as "something out of a movie".
Mr Prescott's family said: "He was doing something he loved in a place he loved and had said only 10 minutes before the incident happened that he was glad he was up on the mountain and that it was a lovely day.
"Jez was passionate about his work with young people for the Duke of Edinburgh Award (DoE), which he had done part-time for Telford and Wrekin Council since 2001."
In a statement, the council described him as a "dedicated individual" and said it is considering how it can pay tribute to his work with young people.
"It was in this role that Jez was a team leader for a DoE expedition on the Brecon Beacons when he was fatally struck by lightning in a sudden storm at a check point on the group's route.
A DoE spokesman said the organisation was "shocked and saddened" by the death.
It is believed all four casualties were men from England.
James Nunn, of the Windsor and Eton Sea Cadets, was training in the beacons when the lightning strikes happened and said it was like "something out of a movie".
He said the weather "turned very bad", adding: "As we were climbing up we heard the lightning strike the top of the mountain."
Four mountain rescue teams had been called to separate incidents at the summits of Corn Du and Cribyn on Sunday.
One person was treated at Swansea's Morriston Hospital for burns and the other, who has now been discharged, was treated at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil.
Djokovic struggled to get into his stride during the match and lost the game 7-6 (10-8) 5-7 2-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-4.
The fact Istomin is ranked 117 in the world made his victory all the more surprising.
Novak's defeat leaves Andy Murray, current World Number 1, as favourite to win the competition.
Djokovic said Instomin "deserved to win. No doubt, he was a better player in the clutch moments,"
Before his victory over Djokovic, Instomin had only ever won one match against a world top 10 player and surprised himself with the result.
"It is the biggest win for me and means so much, now I feel I can play with these guys and be with them on the same level," Instomin said after the match.
His defeat to Instomin rounds off a difficult 7 months for Djokovic.
He was knocked out of the 2016 Olympics in the first round of the singles and failed to make an impact in other big competitions of 2016 including the US Open.

Leigh Griffiths scored late on for the Scottish champions, who host their Kazakh counterparts next Wednesday.
"It was an outstanding result," said former Liverpool manager Rodgers.
"We're disappointed with the goal but I think after that we showed wonderful mentality to keep fighting. It's a very important result for us."
With several central defenders missing, the visitors played with a back three, with 20-year-old Eoghan O'Connell making his European debut.
Yuri Logvinenko headed Astana in front and Craig Gordon made several good saves before Griffiths made Celtic's only shot on target count.
"I think we were all written off before the game," added Rodgers.
"Everyone was pretty clear in their opinion of the game, that we would do well to come back with anything other than a loss, but the players deserve an immense amount of credit, to fight and show spirit and passion in the game.
"The resilience and strength that we have built up over the course of the pre-season came into effect."
Celtic's goal came 12 minutes from time and followed good work from Patrick Roberts.
Griffiths had been starved of service for most of the match but needed just one touch before smashing home a powerful shot.
"It's a wonderful goal from Leigh and we know the significance of the goal," said Rodgers.
"We're not getting too carried away; we've got another game against a very good side."
O'Connell lost Logvinenko from a corner for the hosts' opener on 19 minutes, but Rodgers praised the young defender.
"I thought he was outstanding," he said. "For a young player, he has been on the fringes for a few years, coming into that environment, under pressure, he had very few mistakes in the game.
"You would expect him to make some as a young player but he coped in a very difficult situation."
On the poor marking for the Astana goal, Rodgers added: "I think there has been an issue there with set-pieces, long before I came in.
"Over the course of the pre-season, we defended them well in the main but it is an element that we have to be better at and it is something we will reiterate to the players.
"They had to cope with a long ball, they were quite direct at times and a high percentage of times we dealt quite well with it but we need to ensure that our concentration is 100%."
Andrew McGowan, 35, of Cockburn Street, Toxteth, is accused of being in charge of four dogs that were dangerously out of control, police said.
He has been remanded in custody to appear at Liverpool and Knowsley Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
The "horrific" attack happened on Sunday afternoon.
Several dogs got into a garden where the toddler was playing.
Her aunt, who was also looking after two other children, received minor injuries as she fought off the dogs and carried the child away, while neighbours ran to help.
Police have confirmed the dogs involved were American bully dogs and are not a banned breed.
A spokesman for Merseyside Police said: "Andrew McGowan, 35, of Cockburn Street, Toxteth, has been charged with being in charge of four dogs which were dangerously out of control at the rear of a property on Cockburn Street, which whilst out of control injured a two-year-old girl and 57-year-old woman."

Sergei Naryshkin is a longstanding Putin ally and reportedly served alongside the president at the KGB, Russia's Soviet-era security service.
Mr Naryshkin previously served as the president's chief of staff.
His appointment comes amid reports that Mr Putin intends to combine Russia's intelligence services.
According to the Russian newspaper Kommersant, Mr Putin wants to combine the domestic espionage service, the FSB, and the foreign service, the SVR, to create a new Ministry of State Security (MGB), reminiscent in scope and power of the KGB (Committee of State Security).
Approached by the paper, Dmitry Peskov, Mr Putin's spokesman, did not confirm or deny the reports.
Mr Naryshkin's appointment comes at a time of heightened tensions between Russia and the West, following Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region and support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Mr Naryshkin is among a group of Russian officials and businessmen sanctioned by the United States, European Union and Ukraine.
The appointment also follows a landslide win for Mr Putin and his United Russia party in the country's parliamentary elections. Voting irregularities were reported in several areas.
Speaking to Mr Naryshkin in televised comments, Mr Putin said: "You are well aware, as we all are, what situation we are in now and how important success for this service is for the stable, secure development of our country.
"It is important to head off threats that arise in relation to Russia promptly, not to let them grow but on the contrary to act in such a way so that they don't arise - to neutralise these threats at an early stage."
Mr Naryshkin has long shadowed Mr Putin, working at the St Petersburg mayor's office in the 1990s at roughly the same time Mr Putin was there, and joining Mr Putin's office in 2004 as deputy head of the economic development.
He went on to head the president's office in 2008 - 2011, when Dmitry Medvedev was president.
Mr Naryshkin has a colourful recent history. In 2015 he faced accusations that he had plagiarised large parts of his doctoral thesis on economics, accusations he denied.
He will replace Mikhail Fradkov, a former prime minister who headed the SVR since 2007. Mr Fradkov will move on to the board of directors at the state-run Russian Railways.
Eddie Jones' side will arrive in Cardiff seeking a 16th successive win, three away from a world record.
The All Blacks and South Africa share the tier-one nations' 18-match winning run record.
"England are deservedly tagged as the best team in the northern hemisphere," said Warburton.
"It's a fair judgement to compare them to the All Blacks right now - that's how good they are.
"It is going to take a huge game out of us to get a win, and it will be one of the biggest games of the championship for sure."
Warburton also explained the reasons he believes fire up every opponent England meet in the Six Nations.
The ex-Wales captain insists it is down to England's recent successful record.
"Chatting to [different countries'] players, that's how they feel, they really prioritise that and everyone just wants to beat England," he said.
"That's due to the success in the past and the success they're going through now. It's always a big scalp."
International rugby began with Scotland and England meeting in 1879.
Four years later the Home Nations tournament began with Wales and Ireland taking on England and Scotland.
Since then, the Celtic nations have traditionally revelled in their rivalries with England.
England are unbeaten under Jones, who succeeded Stuart Lancaster after their group-stage exit from the 2015 World Cup.
Wales contributed to England's downfall in the tournament they hosted with a win at Twickenham, but lost twice to them in 2016.
"If you're Wales, the biggest game you play in in the Six Nations is England," said Warburton.
"If you're Scotland, it's England. If you're Ireland, it's England. Or if you're France or Italy, it's England," said Warburton, whose father was born in England.
"We know as players that's the one game the fans look forward to most and you sense that in the build-up. It's a huge occasion for everyone in Wales.
"But for me, I always cherish any win against any opposition in the Six Nations and in the last three years [since Wales' 2013 title win] I've realised how difficult it is to win a championship."
Cardiff Blues' Warburton predicts selection headaches if Bath number eight Taulupe Faletau has recovered from a knee injury for Saturday's match.
Gloucester's Ross Moriarty played at eight in the opening victory in Italy and could rival Warburton for the blind-side flanker's role if Faletau is risked for a starting place.
"The back-row competition is so fierce at the minute, I don't want to put pressure on him, but Toby [Faletau], when he's playing well, is one of the best players in the world. I think he's fantastic," Warburton added.
"If he did come back I'm sure there would be a few selection headaches in the back-row because Ross and Justin [Tipuric] went extremely well against Italy." | Portsmouth have released nine players, but defender Adam Webster has been offered a new deal at Fratton Park.

Several other people were wounded in the ambush in the north west, where the army has carried out operations against Islamist militants.
The convoy, which was being escorted by security forces, was attacked in Char Khel village in the Kurram region.
All those killed were Shia Muslims, according to local officials, who said the death toll may rise.
The convoy was heading from Parachinar, in Kurram, to the main regional city of Peshawar when it was ambushed on Saturday in the predominantly Sunni region.
The Kurram tribal district has been a flashpoint for violence between the minority Shias and the Sunni community for several years.
Some reports put the number of dead at 18, including two women.
Jamshed Tori, who was wounded in the attack, told the Reuters news agency: "Militants attacked the last two vehicles in the convoy with automatic weapons near Char Khel village, killing 18 people."
A tribal leader, Mussrat Bangash, also confirmed the deaths.
Kurram has been hit by scores of attacks, including robberies and kidnappings for ransom, in the past three years.
The army has reportedly killed nearly 100 militants in operations in the region, close to the Afghan border, in recent months.
Several major suicide attacks have hit Pakistan in recent weeks. An attack on Thursday killed at least five people in the Swat Valley, also in north west.
Earlier this month, a pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up in the Mohmand tribal region, killing more than 100 people.
The Pakistani government is under US pressure to crack down on the unrest in the border region.
The Shia minority accounts for some 20% of Pakistan's population of 160 million.
More than 4,000 people have died as a result of sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shias since the late 1980s.

The writer and broadcaster campaigned for black rights for more than 50 years and organised the 1981 Black People's March after the New Cross fire in which 13 black teenagers died.
His biographer Robin Bunce said Mr Howe "died peacefully in his sleep" at his Streatham home on Saturday and that his wife Leila Hassan confirmed the news.
In 2009, Mr Howe wrote in The Guardian about his prostate cancer diagnosis.
"Long live the NHS", he wrote, after describing how his treatment had been successful following the 2007 diagnosis.
Mr Howe was born on 26 February 1943 in Trinidad, where his father was a vicar and his mother a teacher.
He came to the UK in 1961.
Mr Howe, who lived in Brixton for more than 30 years, started his journalism career with the magazine Race Today, where he was editor for 11 years, and more recently he was a Voice Newspaper columnist.
He made his name in the British Black Panthers, successfully challenging racism in the police during the Mangrove Nine trial at the Old Bailey in the early 1970s.
As a journalist he contributed to a wide range of newspapers and had a regular column in the left-wing New Statesman magazine.
He began his broadcasting career in the 1980s, presenting shows for the BBC, LWT and Channel 4.
In 2003 he wrote and presented the controversial series White Tribe, which explored the idea of Englishness and involved travelling around the country.
The campaigner also spoke out after the London riots in the summer of 2011, which were sparked by the shooting of Mark Duggan.
Mr Bunce told the BBC that Mr Howe was "an outstanding black activist" and a "powerful voice for black rights in Britain".
"He took on the Metropolitan Police, the Home Office and Special Branch in a 55-day trial as one of the Mangrove Nine," he said.
"Taking on the police in the 70s at a time of enormous police racism and police corruption was an incredibly courageous thing to do.
"He was able to turn the table on his accusers and he was able to win his case.
"And not only was he able to win his own freedom, but he was able to expose police racism and force the first official acknowledgement of institutional racism in the United Kingdom as a result of that case."
Poet and friend Linton Kwesi Johnson told the BBC: "Darcus was a fearless warrior in the struggle against racial injustice in this country."
Friend and writer Farrukh Dhondy, a former commissioning editor at Channel 4, told the BBC that Mr Howe was "one of the bravest, one of the most courageous, and one of the most significant activists for black people's rights in this country".
He was a "very modest leader who would speak directly to the people," Mr Dhondy said.
Tributes are also being paid to Mr Howe on social media.
The Voice News tweeted: We regret to inform you that respected journalist, activist & former @TheVoiceNews columnist #DarcusHowe has died. May he rest in peace.
Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott tweeted: "So sad to hear that Darcus Howe has passed away. One of the standout activists & public intellectuals of his generation."
Film maker Amma Asante tweeted: "May u RIP Darcus Howe. British #BlackPanther & a pioneer in the fight for #equality in UK. I enjoyed our last talk immensely & learned much."
Labour MP Helen Hayes tweeted: "Sad to hear of the passing of Darcus Howe, great loss to Brixton & to the cause of equality and human rights RIP."
Playwright Bonnie Greer tweeted: "First person I was told to meet when I arrived here 30 years ago was RIP #DarcusHowe. Always supportive; optimistic."
Journalist Jesse Bernard tweeted: "Will always be grateful for the work Darcus Howe did."
London Assembly member Florence Eshalomi tweeted: "Sad to hear of #DarcusHowe passing. May his soul rest in peace."

The GMB, Unite and Prospect have called on Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL) to increase its 1% pay offer.
The unions said DSRL's parent company Cavendish Dounreay Partnership had "significantly increased its profits year on year".
The Dounreay site near Thurso in Caithness is being decommissioned.
Prospect negotiator Richard Hardy said: "Our members are working hard to decommission the site, yet much of the money this generates is flowing out of Caithness and Sutherland, reducing the economic benefit for the local community.
"Everybody should get a share of the profits, not just the shareholders."
Sandra Owsnett, the DSRL trade union co-ordinating committee chairwoman, said: "It is our firm belief that the offer of 1% falls far short of members' expectations.
"We do not believe DSRL have made any serious attempts to address members' concerns and this has been made clear during the negotiations."
DSRL has yet to comment.
Gerry McKeown, who was first on the scene, says he has never understood why the police did not question him.
He got to tell his story for the first time to the Historical Enquires Team in 2010.
Ten Protestant workers were taken from their minibus and shot dead by IRA gunmen in January 1976.
Mr McKeown fought back tears as he recalled how he had said a prayer out loud for the victims including the only survivor Alan Black.
Asked about his religion, Mr McKeown, a Catholic, said: "That night, in a ditch with Alan Black, we were praying to the one God and we had the one hope; that he [Alan] would pull through."
Mr McKeown said the horror of what he saw that night has never left him.
He said: "For years, any time I passed that spot, I would put the boot down. I was stopping for no-one."
Alan Black and Gerry McKeown had not met in the intervening years and on Thursday there was an emotional reunion.
As Mr McKeown finished his evidence, Mr Black rose from his seat and crossed the public gallery with his hand outstretched.
The two men shook hands.
Outside court they told the BBC that they hoped their actions and experience represented a victory over the sectarianism behind those and other murders.
The inquest is continuing.
The government has until midnight to deliver the latest round of Common Agricultural Policy payments to farms.
Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing has said 90% of payments should be made by then, with an application made for an extension to the deadline.
However BBC Scotland understands any fine or extension may be waived if the 90% target is met.
Under European Commission rules, a fine could be imposed if 95.24% of payments are not made by the midnight deadline, with Mr Ewing forecasting that the government would "fall short by a few percentage points".
As of midnight on Thursday, 87.3% of payments had been made. This totals £331m of payouts to 15,991 farmers and crofters.
The government has accelerated payments in recent weeks amid political pressure from opposition parties, and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has apologised to farmers for "failures" with the system.
A extension was granted in 2016, after problems arose with a new £178m IT system for delivering the payments.
Audit Scotland has estimated that fines for missing the deadlines could run to £60m, and have warned there are still "significant costs and risks for the Scottish government" over the IT problems.
Mr Ewing said the government was doing "all we can" to make "as many payments as possible" by the end of the day.
He said: "I expect the vast majority of farmers and crofters will receive all their basic and greening payments by the end of today.
"Although it is not possible at this stage to guarantee precisely the level of payments that will be made, the latest figures are showing that we have made progress.
"We recognise that while we are making progress, we still need to do better.
"Our priority remains completing payments for farmers and crofters as quickly as possible in the coming weeks and officials are working incredibly hard to do just that - and will continue to do so beyond today to make as many outstanding payments as quickly as possible."
The latest deadline pressure has sparked a political row at Holyrood, with Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson accusing Mr Ewing and Ms Sturgeon of "not being straight" with MSPs and farmers.
She said they had fallen "far below" standards set out in the ministerial code for "accurate and truthful information".
Ms Sturgeon said "rapid daily progress" was being made in getting payments through, and insisted she and her ministers had been clear with parliament. Mr Ewing described criticism as "fanciful".
Wigan, looking for a first win in seven games, tried to take the game to their high-flying opponents early on.
Both teams struggled to produce anything of quality in a game that looked destined to end goalless.
But when Elias Kachunga struck from distance, goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen could only parry the ball and Wells reacted first to net from six yards.
The high-flying Terriers went into the game looking to avenge Wigan's 2-1 triumph at the John Smith's Stadium back in November, while the home side were in search of vital points in their fight against the drop.
Following a first-half with few chances, there was a flashpoint at the start of the second when Wigan's Yanic Wildschut raced clear and appeared to be hauled down by last man Tareiq Holmes-Dennis, but he was only shown a yellow card.
Wigan threw on Ryan Colclough, recalled from a loan spell at MK Dons, as they pushed for victory, but ended up with nothing when Jaaskelainen was unable to hold on to Kachunga's speculative strike.
Wells followed in to convert the winner 10 minutes from time, having also rescued his side three days earlier when he netted an injury-time equaliser against Blackburn.
Huddersfield remain fourth in the table, while Wigan are six points from safety in 23rd place.
Wigan boss Warren Joyce:
"It's certainly not a happy new year, no. It's a sickener, it's floored the lads - it's floored myself really.
"But things happen in life like that, and you've got to get on with it.
"It would be more disheartening if there weren't any performances going on. I think that's the positive we have to take from this.
"If we are going to get out of the situation we're in, we've got to be able to play well."
Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner:
"We had a fighting attitude and we were also patient, which is very important against a team like Wigan who have a threat on the counter.
"We had the right balance behind the ball, to avoid the counters, but technically we weren't quite there.
"In the second half, when we had a little bit more space, we created some moments and Nakhi put one of them into the net. This is why we deserved the result at the end."

Speaking at a news conference, Mr Leung said: "If I run my family will suffer an intolerable stress."
Mr Leung has often been accused by pro-democracy campaigners of putting China's interests above those of the people of Hong Kong.
He will step down when his term ends in July 2017.
His successor will be elected by a 1,200-member, mostly pro-Beijing, Election Committee, rather than by the wider electorate.
In 2014, two years after Mr Leung took office, massive pro-democracy rallies in Hong Kong failed to win any concessions from him or from China, and he was vilified by protesters who accused him of being too close to Beijing.
He said that he was stepping down out of "responsibility as a father and a husband", and not because of his perceived unpopularity.
He did not want to give further details of his family situation.
According to reports in Hong Kong media, Mr Leung's 25-year-old daughter has been in hospital for more than a month, although the reasons are unclear.
He added that "the central authorities including the top leaders in the country have been very supportive of my work all these years".
Pictures of a huge fish had been posted online by workers on an oil rig near Weizhou Island, south of Guangxi province, in early May.
It soon attracted much admiration on China's Twitter-like social media platform Sina Weibo.
Then two days later, news spread that a whale shark had been killed and sold as fish food at nearby Beihai market.
Photos circulated online showed a huge whale shark being winched onto a pier by crane.
Beihai police have confirmed the fish sold at the market was a whale shark, after they retrieved pieces of fish skin, though they can't say for sure it was the same one seen by the rig.
But social media users reacted furiously, calling for the culprit to be held accountable. Catching endangered whale sharks is illegal in China.
The whale shark was first spotted and blogged by workers on board the oil rig on 5 May.
The microblog post called the fish an "old friend", though misidentified it as a sand tiger shark. A later post said the same species would swim near the oil rig in May each year.
"That's adorable! I must get to the island tomorrow," says Weibo user "Katherine", who lives in Chengdu, some 1,200km (734 miles) away.
But some others came up with a stalk warning: "Run now dear! I don't want to see you at the Beihai fish market tomorrow," wrote one user, with a crying face emoticon attached.
On 7 May, new pictures were published by a few others, showing a huge dead shark hanging from a crane on the dockside.
Comments exploded online, with many shouting "call the police" and assuming it was the same shark. One user wrote: "It's too cruel! Enough is enough!"
A crying Feifei Li wrote: "It just felt curious and came by to take a look. Why does it deserve that?"
"No wonder these fishes are not coming anymore. You come again, you got killed again. What for?" said a user named Xiao Jun.
A Beihai police officer said on Tuesday that the two detained suspects - named as Mr Liao and Mr Huang - had told them the shark already dead and decomposing when they caught it, according to the semi-official China News Service (CNS) agency.
They are now detained on suspicion of "illegal acquisition of rare or endangered animal", said the police, and could face imprisonment of 10 years or more if convicted.
The investigation is still ongoing, CNS reported.
A Beihai police official told the BBC they had nothing to add to the report.
Whale sharks are the largest fish in the world, and can grow to a length of more than 13m (40ft).
They are on the Red List of Threatened Species maintained by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). China also lists the species under Category Two of its national list of protected wild animals, making it illegal to hunt and trade.
The Beihai municipal committee of the Communist Party also announced on Tuesday it was investigating the city's fishery chief Chen Quanbiao for "serious violation of discipline", a synonym for corruption in China.
It was not possible to tell whether Mr Chen's removal had any connection to the shark incident, but local state media reported he had been asked to comment on the incident just a day before he was put under investigation.
The 28-year-old is in line to replace Mike Brown for Saturday's match with Fiji at Twickenham.
Goode has not been involved in a matchday squad since the Six Nations in February, but says he will not take unnecessary risks on his rare start.
"You don't want to put too much pressure on yourself," Goode said.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "You have to be quite structured, quite controlled, and make sure the team functions well. At full-back you can't be too reckless and loose."
Bath's Fijian-born winger Semesa Rokoduguni is poised to join Goode in the back three for the clash with the Pacific Islanders.
"He's an incredible talent," said Goode. "You see it in training all the time. He is lethal in space. He's a joy to train with."

Meanwhile scrum coach Neal Hatley says Tom Wood being dropped from the squad had nothing to do with his performance against South Africa, his first start since last year's World Cup.
He has been left out of the 25-man group preparing for the Fiji game, despite starting at open-side flanker in the 37-21 win over the Springboks.
Nathan Hughes is set to replace Wood, with the Wasps forward expected to resume training on Thursday after a minor lower leg injury.
"Woody did exceptionally well - we are just looking at it on a game-by-game basis," Hatley told 5 live.
"Nathan did well when he was on and we want to give him an opportunity potentially. We think he carries the ball well and he has good stopping power."
Hatley also says fly-half George Ford will not be distracted by speculation over his club future.
It is understood the Bath player is considering his options elsewhere in the Premiership, although his club insist it is up to them whether the player leaves with a year remaining on his contract.
"George and Owen Farrell are two of the most focused individuals I have ever worked with," said Hatley, who was part of the Bath coaching staff before joining England.
"All Fordy has been focusing on is Fiji and we haven't seen anything outside of that."

About 7,000 US brands market and sell using on Tmall, Alibaba's marketplace, according to the company.
Mr Ma said in January he wants to attract one million US small firms.
His push comes as US President Donald Trump emphasises increasing US exports.
At a meeting with Mr Trump in January, Mr Ma said he thought the US could add one million jobs over the next five years, if he successfully attracted firms to his business.
That's not necessarily an easy sell. The average Chinese customer still lags when it comes to spending power. Mr Ma has also faced concerns over counterfeit goods sold through his sites.
At the conference in Detroit in Wednesday, Mr Ma said Chinese families were hungry for US goods.
He said the internet empowered small businesses to benefit from globalisation and boasted of the size of China's market of nearly 1.4 billion people.
"Please view China as an opportunity," he said. "Don't miss this chance."
The Detroit conference attracted brands such as Gerber, Martha Stewart and LuckyVitamin.
Alibaba is best known for its e-commerce business, which it told investors this month accounts for 11% of retail sales in China.
But its scope extends into cloud computing, logistics, media and financial services, rivalling Amazon in ambition.
The firm reported nearly $23bn in revenue for its 2017 financial year and about $6bn in profits.
Amazon, by comparison, reported nearly $136bn in revenue and $2.4bn in profits in its most recent financial year.
Mr Ma said more than 200 million people shopped via mobile phone on an Alibaba site every day.
The firm also helps deliver about 60 million packages each day - a number he expects to see jump to one billion in 10 years, he said.
Judge Mahesh Sharma told TV channels that "the peahen gets pregnant" only by "swallowing the tears of the peacock".
He made the remark to back his observation that cows should replace the tiger as the national animal because "it's also holy".
Experts have rejected his claims.
Mr Sharma told reporters in the northern Indian city of Jaipur that he believed people revere both peacocks and cows because of their "divine qualities".
He added that he had recommended that the government should immediately declare the cow as the national animal.
But social media users vehemently disagreed.
Experts said there was no merit in Mr Sharma's theories.
"This theory about peacocks drinking tears to breed is an old hoax. They breed like all other birds, by means of sexual copulation," Bikram Grewal, an ornithologist, told The Indian Express newspaper.
Mr Sharma is not alone in demanding national status for cows, considered sacred by India's majority Hindu community.
Many states have actively started enforcing bans on cow slaughter after the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed India's federal government in 2014.
In addition to government bans, several vigilante groups who portray themselves as protectors of cows have also been active in several states.
But Mr Sharma added that his demand was not linked to the ongoing debate about banning cow slaughter in the country.
The International Air Transport Association (Iata) says Suvarnabhumi airport has inadequate capacity and substandard taxiways.
The criticism follows safety warnings last year from another air industry organisation about Thailand's regulation and inspection of airlines.
The government has set up two bodies to oversee airports and airlines.
However, it has asked for more time to meet international standards.
Suvarnabhumi airport was opened nearly ten years ago. It is Thailand's main international gateway but Iata says it is now operating beyond its capacity, and needs to be expanded.
"Aviation is critical to Thailand's economic success. It is the backbone of the tourism industry and provides critical global business links," Iata's director general Tony Tyler said in Bangkok.
"It is in jeopardy, however, unless key issues of safety, capacity and costs are addressed urgently."
The organisation urged the Thai authorities to fix the problem of 'soft spots' in poor quality tarmac at Suvarnabhumi airport, where airliners sometimes got stuck and had to be pulled out.
Mr Tyler said a permanent solution was needed. "There seems to be a constant resurfacing with a temporary patchwork of asphalt reinforcements. Frankly, that is not good enough.
"The runway and gate downtime that results from constantly fixing (and re-fixing) them is unacceptable.
"Moreover the situation is a safety risk. The extraordinary power that aircraft need to use around soft spots and extra-towing expose ground personnel, ground equipment and the aircraft to safety risks.
He also highlighted the issue of lack of capacity at the airport. He said the Phase Two terminal expansion was badly needed and should be fast tracked.
"For runway capacity, immediate capacity increases can be achieved through addressing the "soft spots" issue which will allow existing capacity to be used fully. But a third runway will be needed eventually. So it is important that work and preparations for a three runway system continue," he added.
Thailand is already struggling to address last year's warnings from the United Nation's International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), about a shortage of inspectors to check safety procedures among Thai airlines.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) subsequently downgraded its safety rating of Thailand's aviation authority, finding that Thailand did not comply with the ICAO's safety standards.
Iata said it was "deeply disappointing" that the organisations had raised safety concerns about Thailand as a country.
It said the oversight concerns raised in both the ICAO and the FAA reports should be addressed by the Thai government "thoroughly and urgently".
The airport's operator, Airports of Thailand, has said it has come up with several measures to improve the runways using concrete and expand capacity. These are awaiting government approval.
"We have prepared short- to medium- and long-term plans to solve the problems," said Sirote Duangratana, general manager of Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Police suspect the skins found at a farm in Benoni last week came from illegally slaughtered animals whose hides were destined for China.
They described the raid as a major breakthrough against smugglers.
Trade in donkey skins is worth millions of dollars, with hides prized in China for supposed medicinal properties.
The gelatine in the hides is used as a medicinal tonic, with some believing it can slow down menopause in women.
It is also used to try to treat conditions such as insomnia and poor circulation.
The raid in Benoni followed a tip-off from a woman who had complained about the smell of rotting meat.
Police did not make any arrests at the farm but have said the raid provided important new information about a syndicate suspected of slaughtering the animals and transporting the meat and hides, without them being certified disease-free.
South Africa's Mail & Guardian newspaper said Chinese nationals were suspected of involvement.
On Monday, the paper reported that a site where more than 100 donkeys were illegally slaughtered had been discovered on a farm in Olifantshoek, in the Northern Cape.
The South African National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) spoke of animals there "being bludgeoned with hammers and being skinned alive".
It called practices there "barbaric and inhumane" and criticised the government for "doing very little to end this illegal practice".
The Mail & Guardian quoted NSPCA inspector Mpho Mokoena as saying a suspect arrested at Olifantshoek had said skins there were transported to Benoni, suggesting a link between the two sites.
Police say donkey theft, slaughter and animal skin sales have been rising in South Africa since 2015.
Last year, Burkina Faso banned the export of donkey skins and Niger the export of donkeys saying a sharp increase in trade to Asian countries was threatening their donkey populations.
Annan Athletic crashed out of the competition with a 4-0 hammering by Highland League Formartine United.
Stirling and Stranraer progressed at the expense of junior opponents, beating Wick Academy and East Kilbride respectively.
And Colin McMenamin's hat-trick ensured Stenhousemuir knocked out Forres Mechanics in their replay.
Championship side Morton gave their West of Scotland Super League Premier Division opponents no chance thanks to Thomas O'Ware's second-half brace along with goals from Ross Forbes, Michael Tidser, Jamie McDonagh and Jamie Lindsay.
A crowd of 1693 watched the Scottish Junior Cup champions bow out to an in-form Ton, who will play Falkirk at Cappielow in the fourth round.
"We played well today," said Morton boss Jim Duffy. "In the first 10 minutes we expected an onslaught and it wasn't quite an onslaught, but Beith certainly put us under a bit of pressure in the opening few minutes.
"We got the early goal and relaxed and played very well after that. It was a proper, old-fashioned Scottish Cup tie in a venue that was a strange environment because of the sloped pitch. You don't get too many pitches like that but the playing surface was very good.
"The most important thing today was winning and we managed to score a few goals which always gives the players confidence."
Beith manager John Millar admitted his side's professional opponents were a cut above.
"We were brilliant for the first 10 minutes but then we lost a cheap goal," he said.
"It's the best team I've seen close up playing against us. Before the game I was saying it would be interesting to see what the standard is, but that's just a step up. They're all athletes; they're a professional side.
"The fans were brilliant and cheered us coming off. Our big picture is the league and trying to retain our Scottish Junior Cup."
At North Lodge Park, League Two Annan slipped to a devastating defeat as Conor Gethins netted a second-half hat-trick for Formartine, and Scott Barbour was on target with their third.
Annan's League Two rivals Stirling progressed with a 2-0 home win over Wick Academy thanks to a close-range Blair Henderson effort and substitute Dylan Bikey's second-half addition.
League One Stranraer fought back from 1-0 down to rescue a late 2-1 win over East Kilbride.
Sean Winter's opener handed the Lowland League side the advantage but Willie Gibson bagged a 26th-minute penalty before a headed own goal from Adam Strachan put the Blues through.
Elsewhere, in Saturday's third-round replay - after the scores were level at 2-2 last weekend - McMenamin fired home a treble as League One's Stenhousemuir claimed a 3-1 defeat of Forres Mechanics.
Liam Baxter scored a consolation penalty consolation late on as both sides finished with 10 men after David Marsh was dismissed for the Warriors and Craig McGovern for Forres.
The problem began on Tuesday, when subscribers' accounts started adding gigabytes of unused data.
Plusnet said that its engineers were "investigating the root cause".
It added that the issue had only affected "a small number" of its users, but did not say how many.
One customer contacted the BBC to report the problem.
"At 22 minutes past midnight this morning I received an email, and it said you are approaching your usage allowance, and once you've used your 40GB we'll charge you an extra £5 for every 5GB," Steve Rogers said.
"And then at 8.42am I got an email saying you've exceeded your usage, we've added some more.
"And then it happened again at 9.51am.
"I thought I haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary... I wonder if my wife has been downloading loads of stuff."
A check of Mr Rogers' account, using Plusnet's View My Usage tool, revealed that 28.2GB of data had been added to his tally yesterday and a further 14GB on Wednesday morning - far in excess of his actual usage.
Plusnet has put an answerphone message on its hotline and a note on its support page acknowledging the problem.
A spokeswoman also issued a statement to the BBC.
"Yesterday, a small number of Plusnet customers on 'limited' broadband packages received email notifications regarding their broadband usage," it said.
"The emails incorrectly stated that customers had gone over their usage limits. The issue has now been resolved.
"We are confident that no customers have been overcharged. However, if any customers have any concerns, please visit the Member Centre on our website or feel free to get in touch with us."
Plusnet's service page notes that maintenance work was carried out on its back-end systems on Sunday evening, but the firm said that this was not linked to the fault.
Two Poles were attacked on Sunday, just hours after a march and vigil to honour Arek Jozwik, who died after an attack in the same town of Harlow, Essex.
Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Rafal Sobczak said the country's foreign, justice and interior ministers would be flying into London.
A specific date for the visit, however, has not yet been set.
Police said the attack on the two Poles was a "potential hate crime" and one victim suffered a broken nose, the other a cut to his head.
Four or five men outside the William Aylmer pub in Kitson Way, Harlow, attacked the pair on Sunday morning, officers said.
The latest violence followed an attack in Harlow on 27 August on Arkadiusz (Arek) Jozwik, 39, who suffered head injuries and later died on Monday.
Six teenagers were arrested on suspicion of killing Mr Jozwik.
Supt Trevor Roe said the "vicious and horrible attack" in Kitson Way was not being linked to the fatal attack on Mr Jozwik in the town last weekend.
The assault happened at 03:35 BST, less than 12 hours after hundreds of people - including Poles from across the UK - gathered in the town for a silent march to remember Mr Jozwik.
Both victims, who are in their 30s, were treated at the town's Princess Alexandra Hospital.
Supt Roe said: "Although we are considering this matter as a potential hate crime, it is not being linked with the attack (on Mr Jozwik) at The Stow shopping centre last weekend.
"I want to reassure the public and the community in Harlow we are treating this very seriously and do not tolerate assaults of any kind.
"There will be an increased number of visible policing patrols in Harlow to both reassure and protect the community.
"Harlow is a strong and resilient community but I understand the concerns that recent events will cause."
Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski, Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro and Interior Minister Mariusz Blaszczak are the three ministers planning to visit the UK.
Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo also wants to speak directly to PM Theresa May about the recent attacks, Mr Sobczak said.

The RFU - English rugby's governing body - hosted sessions in 100 clubs in January and has now selected a further 100 to take part in the scheme.
'Warrior Camps' teach basic skills and drills, with coaches on hand to help with this introduction to the sport.
All participants need is a pair of trainers and their usual workout gear.
"We set ourselves an ambitious target when launching our women and girls strategy in 2014 - to get 25,000 women participating in contact rugby," said RFU rugby development director Steve Grainger.
"We achieved our target one year ahead of schedule, but know there is still work to be done to ensure women are aware of the opportunities out there for them to participate in rugby, whether for fun or at a competitive level."
The camps aim to foster the growing appetite for rugby among women aged 18-35, providing greater visibility for women's activities at their local clubs.
Find out how to get into rugby union with our special guide.
One participant in the January scheme - at Rushden and Higham RFC in Northamptonshire - was an instant convert.
"I had a great time trying rugby for the first time," said Chloe Madeley. "If you want to get into fitness while doing something social at the same time, I would recommend you give rugby a go.
"Not only are you getting active but you get to be with a load of girls who are happy to get muddy and have a laugh. It's honestly so much fun."
Captain of Bishop's Stortford ladies' team, Carly Poyser, said the sessions offer a way in to the sport for those who might not imagine themselves participating.
"Maybe they feel they're too short, or too unfit. But this type of event shows it's an environment that welcomes everyone," she said There's no pressure. It's simply: 'come along and see what you think'."

The Unite union said they accepted the financial pressure on oil operators, but had won concessions on protecting conditions of service.
The industrial action, which took place in July and August, was the first of its kind in decades.
Wood Group welcomed the result, saying it had been a "difficult period".
The ballot saw 105 votes for acceptance and 82 against among Unite members and 53% of RMT members vote in favour of the deal.
During the action, both 48-hour and 24-hour strikes were held on seven Shell-operated platforms.
The platforms involved were the Curlew, Brent Alpha, Brent Bravo, Brent Charlie, Nelson, Gannet and Shearwater.
Unite regional officer John Boland said: "Our negotiations with Wood Group allowed us to reduce the levels of cuts being proposed to our members' wages and terms and conditions.
"We were able to secure improvements to competency payments and the introduction of a flexibility payment. Threats to life insurance, health care and sick pay have been removed."
Mr Boland said his members had a commitment of greater work security for ad-hoc workers.
He added: "As ever, our members have shown themselves willing to be open to meaningful negotiations and are not blind to the challenges facing the offshore sector in these difficult times - but they have also shown they will not be treated unfairly."
Aberdeen-based Wood Group provides maintenance and construction to Shell and signed a three-year extension to its contract earlier this year.
Dave Stewart, the company's eastern region chief executive, said: "We recognise that this has been a difficult period for everyone involved and we respect the workforce for accepting this revised proposal in relation to the current market conditions.
"This resolution was enabled by the strong engagement within the joint working group of Wood Group representatives, union officials and shop stewards. We are committed to continuing to build on the relationships formed and regular engagement with our offshore workforce."
Paul Goodfellow from Shell said the company was pleased a solution had been reached.
He added: "We have been clear that change was essential to ensure that the UK North Sea remains competitive.
"This agreement is a positive step towards addressing the challenge of operating in a low oil price environment.
"Shell looks forward to working with Wood Group, Unite and the RMT to ensure that the North Sea has a strong and sustainable future."
He said he was aware of the challenges ahead, including the debt crisis, and vowed to "open a new path in Europe".
He named close aide Jean-Marc Ayrault as his PM. Mr Hollande is now to visit Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.
Mr Hollande called for "a compromise" over the German-led focus on austerity as the way out of the eurozone crisis.
Stock markets and the euro have fallen amid continuing political uncertainty in Greece.

The handover of presidential power in France is a strange mixture of tradition and improvisation. There is tradition in the quasi-monarchical ceremonies, such as the presentation of the gold Legion of Honour chain.
But the Fifth Republic is still a youngish institution, and much is left to the incoming head of state to choose how to run his day.
Francois Hollande wanted to present a new, modest, sober image of the presidency. So his four children and other family members were notably absent from the Elysee (a deliberate contrast with Nicolas Sarkozy's investiture).
And then in the afternoon the new president paid visits to memorials in Paris dedicated to two of his personal heroes: the late 19th-Century reformer Jules Ferry and the scientist Marie Curie.
Ferry is honoured for founding the Republican school system - though unkind souls have also pointed out that he was also a pillar of French colonialism!
All in all, Inauguration Day is an odd kind of day for any new French president, not helped in Mr Hollande's case by the awful weather. By the end, everyone is impatient to get down to business. Which is just as well, given the state of European affairs.
The chairman of the eurozone finance ministers, Jean-Claude Juncker, insisted on Monday night that they would do "everything possible" to keep Greece in the euro.
Mr Hollande was sworn in for a five-year term at the Elysee Palace in central Paris.
Outgoing President Nicolas Sarkozy shook hands with his successor in the palace's courtyard before leading him inside for a private meeting, at which France's nuclear launch codes were handed over.
The new leader asked that the inauguration ceremony be kept as low-key as possible, and invited just three dozen or so personal guests to join the 350 officials attending. Neither Mr Hollande's children nor those of his partner, Valerie Trierweiler, were there.
In his first presidential speech, Mr Hollande said he wished to deliver a "message of confidence".
"My mandate is to bring France back to justice, open up a new path in Europe, contribute to world peace and preserve the planet."
The new president said he was fully aware of challenges facing France, which he summarised as "huge debt, weak growth, reduced competitiveness, and a Europe that is struggling to emerge from a crisis".
Mr Hollande also said he wanted other European leaders to sign a pact that "ties the necessary reduction of deficit to the indispensable stimulation of the economy".
"I will tell them the necessity for our continent is to protect, in an unstable world, not only its values but its interests in the name of commercial exchange," he added.
After the inauguration, Mr Hollande rode up the Champs Elysees in an open-topped car, waving to the crowd despite the rain, before laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier under the Arc de Triomphe.
He then paid tribute to the 19th-Century educational reformer Jules Ferry and the Nobel Prize-winning chemist Marie Curie.
The BBC's Christian Fraser in Paris says the 57-year-old has spent the past week preparing to take up the presidency, and now the work begins in earnest.
After the ceremonies, Mr Hollande named Jean-Marc Ayrault, leader of the Socialist group in parliament, as his prime minister.
Mr Ayrault, who is regarded as a Germanophile with good contacts in Berlin, had been widely tipped for the post.
On Tuesday afternoon, Mr Hollande will fly to Germany for dinner with Chancellor Merkel, who says she will welcome the new leader "with open arms".
But her embrace will hide some embarrassment, says the BBC's Europe editor Gavin Hewitt, after Mrs Merkel openly supported Mr Sarkozy in the election battle.

"We don't think the same on everything," Mr Hollande acknowledged on French television on Monday. "We'll tell each other that so that together we can reach good compromises."
Mr Hollande has demanded that a European fiscal pact that cracked down on overspending be renegotiated to include a greater emphasis on measures to stimulate growth, while Germany insists the treaty must be respected.
Whatever their differences, the crisis in the eurozone will put them under huge pressure to compromise, our correspondent says.
As the eurozone's two biggest economies - and biggest contributors to its bailout funds - Germany and France are key decision-makers over the strategy supposed to pull Europe out of crisis.
According to official figures released on Tuesday morning, the French economy showed no growth in the first quarter of 2012. Growth in the final quarter of 2011 was also revised down to 0.1% from 0.2%.
However, Germany's economy grew by a stronger than expected 0.5% in the first three months of the year.
Following his German trip, Mr Hollande will hold his first cabinet meeting on Thursday followed by a visit to Washington to meet US President Barack Obama on Friday.
German figures revealed a sharp drop in industrial production, raising fears than Europe's traditionally strongest economy was weakening.
Then the International Monetary Fund revised down its global economic growth forecasts, cutting its estimates for the eurozone's three largest economies.
The French Cac 40 fell 1.8%, Germany's Dax 1.3% and Wall Street closed lower.
At the end of trading, the main US indexes were down between 1.5% and 1.6%.
"World equities are reacting to much more evidence of weakness. Germany's starting to slow down and it was the engine of the European economy. That's clearly a concern, investors weren't happy with it," said Ken Polcari, director of the NYSE floor division at O'Neill Securities.
The falls were exacerbated by a drop in the shares of airlines and travel companies, hurt by fears over the impact of the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.
It came after a Spanish nurse contracted the disease in the first known case outside west Africa.
Shares in British Airways owner International Airlines Group fell 6.9%, while budget rival Easyjet's shares dropped 5.3% and cruise ship operator Carnival closed down 6.7%.
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Robin Byde said the impact of the virus was still uncertain.
"You could be looking at worst case scenario major travel disruption, long haul and short haul. My view is that that looks unlikely but there is obviously concern in the market today," he added.
However, the sharp falls were cushioned by the mining sector which traded flat, boosted by the prospect of merger and acquisition activity.
Shares in Rio Tinto rose 0.8% after it rejected an approach by rival firm Glencore in August, because it was "not in the best interests" of its shareholders.

Helder Costa's low first-half shot and Matt Doherty's stunning free-kick gave Wolves their first win in the competition for almost six years.
Peter Crouch volleyed over from six yards and visiting goalkeeper Carl Ikeme made four excellent saves before Doherty's set-piece sealed victory.
It is the first time since 2008-09 that Stoke have gone out in round three.
Manager Mark Hughes had named a strong starting line-up, with Xherdan Shaqiri and Bojan Krkic among those brought into the side that beat Watford in the Premier League on Tuesday.
But the Potters were below par for long periods and did not show their quality until the latter stages, as they were beaten by a team 25 positions below them in the league pyramid.
Wolves had suffered two relegations, won one promotion and had seven different full-time managers since their previous win in an FA Cup tie - a 5-0 third-round replay win over Doncaster in January 2011.
Two head coaches, Kenny Jackett and Walter Zenga, have departed during another eventful season at Molineux, but Wolves' win at Stoke was more evidence of their ongoing recovery under boss Paul Lambert.
A much-changed Wolves team caused their top-flight opponents problems from the outset in attack.
Jon Dadi Bodvarsson had already sent two efforts wide before Costa, who is on a season-long loan from Benfica, found the net for the eighth time this season with a strike which beat Lee Grant at his near post.
At the other end, a defence including fit-again Mike Williamson for the first time since November 2015 was rarely threatened by Stoke until the final 30 minutes, when Ikeme came to the fore.
Named as captain with Danny Batth and Dave Edwards on the bench, Nigeria international Ikeme kept out efforts from Marko Arnautovic, Ibrahim Afellay, Crouch and Joe Allen to preserve his clean sheet.
Stoke were one of a host of Premier League clubs viewing the competition as their best chance of silverware this season, but any hopes of repeating their run to the final in 2011 were dashed.
Spanish forward Bojan, linked with a move away during the January transfer window, did little to push his claims for regular first-team football during a quiet first period.
Unimpressed by Stoke's first-half showing, Hughes introduced Allen and Charlie Adam in place of Bojan and Giannelli Imbula at the interval and those changes had the desired effect.
The Potters were dominant for a 20-minute spell but Wolves held firm and secured a cup upset with full-back Doherty's fourth goal of the campaign.
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "We lost the game on the first half. The strength of the team we put out should have been capable of getting a result.
"You need luck, and their keeper made several saves, but ultimately we weren't good enough on the day and we have to give them credit.
"We wanted a cup run, sadly that's not the case and that's disappointing. We need to pick ourselves up and get our act together next week now."
Wolves head coach Paul Lambert: "The whole performance from start to finish was terrific and we could have been two or three up before we even scored. We look like a team that's full of confidence at the minute.
"You need time to put your own stamp on things, you're never going to do it within three or four weeks. You won't even do it within three or four months, you need about a full season to get your point across properly.
"But there is an accumulation of things now happening at the club. It's a lot better place now than when I came in, that's for sure."

The TV showed the three-strong crew, their Lynx helicopter and weapons, saying they had entered Libyan air space "in breach of international law".
Dutch officials say the helicopter was captured on Sunday near Sirte while trying to fly out two Europeans.
Talks are under way to free the crew, who are two men and one woman.
They had landed near Sirte, a port city in central Libya under the control of government forces, to carry out a "consular evacuation", the Dutch defence ministry said.
An armed Libyan unit captured them along with the two evacuees - a Dutch national and another, unidentified European - who were later released by the Libyan authorities and left the country.
The Dutch defence ministry has been in contact with the crew who were "doing well under the circumstances", a Dutch spokesman said on Thursday.
They had flown into Libya from the Dutch warship Tromp, which is anchored off the coast.
Footage shown by Libyan TV, which cannot be verified, shows the three crew members sitting in an office with Libyans and sipping canned drinks.
A helicopter with Dutch naval markings can be seen parked on sand as gunmen cheer and wave their weapons around it.
When a heavy machine gun and belt of bullets are displayed, an on-screen caption in Arabic says: "According to the [Saudi-backed] broadcaster al-Arabiya, this helicopter was sent to rescue people, but we can see something else here.
"The helicopter flew into Libyan airspace and landed in Sirte without any permission from the authorities and this is in violation of international law."
Assault rifles, dollar notes, notebooks, pistols, mobile phones, bullets and ammunition, military-fatigue body armour, inflatable life jackets and a Sony digital camera are also shown off in the video.
Radio Netherlands Worldwide reports that the Dutch national whose evacuation the crew had been trying to complete was handed over to the Dutch embassy and is now back in the Netherlands.
He had been working for the Dutch engineering company Royal Haskoning.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said news of the crew's capture had been kept quiet initially to assist the talks on their release.
"It is terrible for the crew of the Lynx helicopter," he said.
"Everything is being done to make sure the crew get home."
The Tromp, which was initially to have taken part in an anti-piracy operation off Somalia, headed for the Libyan coast on 24 February.
Initial reports talked of "marines" being captured but an official statement posted later on the defence ministry's website describes the captives as a naval helicopter crew.
The port city of Sirte is considered the main remaining stronghold of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in the centre of the country, as he struggles with a spreading revolt against his rule.
The soldiers were killed while carrying out "dangerous intelligence operations", Mr Hollande said.
Libya's UN-backed government responded by saying that their presence was a "violation" of the nation's sovereignty.
It said in a statement that it was "displeased with the French government's announcement".
Earlier on Wednesday, French defence ministry spokesman Stephane Le Foll confirmed for the first time that its special forces were in Libya.
On Tuesday, Associated Press quoted Libyan officials as saying an Islamist militia shot down a French helicopter.
The attack on Sunday happened near the city of Benghazi, and left no survivors, AP reported.
Libya has fragmented since the 2011 uprising when Col Muammar Gaddafi was ousted from office with the help of Nato air strikes.
It now has rival administrations, backed by various militias and brigades spawned by the revolution - and the chaos has allowed fighters from so-called Islamic State (IS) to gain a foothold.
Mr Le Foll, in an interview with France Info radio on Wednesday, said French special forces were in Libya to "ensure that France is present everywhere in the fight against terrorism".
While France had previously said its warplanes were carrying out reconnaissance flights over Libya, this is the first formal confirmation that France has special forces inside the country.
Their presence was first reported by Le Monde newspaper in February (in French) but later denied by Libyan officials.
Le Monde also said that French intelligence officials were stationed inside Libya to help the fight against IS.
Benghazi, the birthplace of the 2011 revolution, has been at war for two years. During this time Gen Khalifa Haftar, head of the armed forces backed by Libya's eastern administration, has sought to oust a mix of mainly Islamist militias, including those with IS affiliations, from the city.
In recent months, his fighters have made significant gains, which analysts suspect are largely thanks to logistical support from the French special forces operating there.
Some members of the various militias they are fighting have recently regrouped, now calling themselves the Benghazi Defence Brigades (BDB). A social media news account affiliated to the BDB has reported that the group was responsible for shooting down the French helicopter. Whatever their affiliations, they show the conflict is a long way from being resolved.
Foreign special forces from a number of countries have been operating in or over Libya for quite some time now, but the nature and extent of these operations have largely been secret. The deaths of the French soldiers is likely to trigger hard questions for Western nations getting entangled in a war with multiple and complex dimensions.
While the fighting continues on the ground in parts of the country, political deadlock continues despite a UN-brokered deal in December to form a unity government.
This is now based in the capital, Tripoli, but with little real power in the city or over the whole country as rival administrations operate in both the east and west.
The oil-rich country once had one of the highest standards of living in Africa with free healthcare and free education, but five years on from the uprising it is facing a financial crisis.
At the same time militias, which hold considerable power across Libya, are split along regional, ethnic and local lines, creating a combustible mix.
But in a new report to be presented to the UN Security Council, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said IS was facing the "distinct possibility" of defeat in its last Libyan stronghold of Sirte.
Manager McInnes and assistant boss Tony Docherty rejected a move south earlier in June, despite Aberdeen and the Black Cats agreeing a compensation figure.
"I had lots to consider but what's clear is I always felt there was work to be done here," McInnes told RedTV.
"I love the club, I love working here."
And the 45-year-old added: "I'm really ambitious and keen to push myself and test myself.
"Some opportunities might come around in the future but the opportunity to keep working here was the biggest factor."
McInnes promised that he and the Dons hierarchy would try to "make the signings that helps maintain our standards and push on" after the loss of several key players over the summer, including captain Ryan Jack,Jonny Hayes, who he admits "will be a miss", Ash Taylor, Peter Pawlett and Niall McGinn.
"I think reshaping the squad is not such a bad thing," he said.
"Losing players needn't have a huge impact on us. (It's) something we've not been used to, and that consistency has helped us, but hopefully with the good players we've already got, added to the new players, it will seem seamless."
Aberdeen failed to convince Celtic to sell Ryan Christie to them but the player is at least back on another loan deal, this time for an entire season.
"We tried hard to get Ryan here on a permanent for loads of reasons," said the manager.
"Celtic said that he wasn't for sale and that Ryan had a future with them.
"They recognised that his loan last season was good for them and Ryan. If he can replicate some of the form that he showed and give us even a bit more he'll be a fantastic signing. He's a brilliant boy.
"He brings you that knack of goals and I'm delighted to get the opportunity to work with him."
Aberdeen's other new recruit is midfielder Greg Tansey from Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
McInnes said of the 28-year-old Englishman: "There's no doubting the quality that Greg possesses - his set play delivery, which is important to us with Niall (McGinn) leaving, his goals from the middle of the park, he's a good age, he handles the ball well, he's technically very competent and a good size. We'll try to get more from him."
And on goalkeeper Joe Lewis, McInnes suggested there would be "no better news" than him signing a new deal until 2020.
The manager said: "He gives us confidence and a high level of goalkeeping. He absolutely loves it here. He's buying a house in the city. His family have settled here."
Aberdeen's last competitive match was the Scottish Cup final in which they were sunk by a stoppage-time Tom Rogic goal for Celtic.
That meant the Dons finished runners-up to the treble winners in all three main competitions last season.
"I see what we can be when I see these cup final days," remarked McInnes. "It was a brilliant reflection on what we are as a club.
"We've got to take the confidence of the performance and the attitude of the support in getting behind the team. We acted like a big club on the day; we are used to being at Hampden.
"It's important we try to generate that atmosphere at Pittodrie. We need more supporters committing to get full value for this team." | A suspected sectarian attack on a civilian convoy in a troubled tribal area of Pakistan has left 16 dead.

Vardy was contentiously dismissed by referee Craig Pawson for a two-footed tackle on Mame Diouf.
Stoke took advantage to score twice before half-time, with Bojan Krkic converting a penalty after Danny Simpson's handball, and Joe Allen tapping in.
But the Foxes mounted a remarkable comeback in the final 15 minutes, with substitute Leonardo Ulloa and Daniel Amartey heading home to snatch a point.
It leaves Leicester three points above the relegation zone in 15th, while Stoke are 11th.
A draw never looked likely from the moment Vardy was sent off in the 28th minute.
The England striker went in two-footed and off the ground on Diouf, but won the ball.
Pawson deemed it reckless, though, and showed Vardy his second red card of 2016.
Listen: Man Utd decision may have been in referee's mind for Vardy red - Nevin
Leicester fell apart immediately, as Simpson gave away the penalty by putting his hand in the air while sliding to block a cross, and Allen tapped in after Giannelli Imbula's shot came back off the post and hit the hapless Kasper Schmeichel on the back of the head.
The Foxes' discipline vanished - boss Claudio Ranieri had to be held back by his goalkeeper from remonstrating with Pawson at the break, and six of his players were booked in a 10-minute spell either side of half-time.
But the finale was incredible, with substitutes Demarai Gray and Ulloa combining with their first touches of the match to make it 2-1 - Gray crossing for Ulloa to head home a goal given by goalline technology despite Ryan Shawcross' effort to clear.
Stoke were pinned into their own half in the closing moments, and Christian Fuchs crossed from the right for Amartey to head in the equaliser.
Going by the rulebook, Pawson was within his rights to send off Vardy, as the tackle looked out of control, particularly in real time.
But his inconsistency will frustrate many, with Pawson only showing Manchester United's Marcos Rojo a yellow card for a similar challenge against Crystal Palace in midweek.
Indeed, perhaps the criticism for that decision was in his mind when he produced the red card for Vardy.
It means the spotlight will shine brighter on the rest of his decisions and, though Foxes fans made their thoughts on his performance clear, the penalty award was spot on and he had little choice with most of the eight bookings.
Ranieri and Stoke counterpart Mark Hughes had contrasting opinions on the red card.
Ranieri said: "One manager says yes, one says no. If you listen to me I say 'no', if you listen to Mark Hughes he says 'yes'."
Hughes said: "It was a two-footed challenge. The lad left the floor and I don't know what Leicester are complaining about. From my point of view it was clear."
Ex-Chelsea winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 live: "When he goes with his two feet - they were off the ground - he didn't seem to hurt Diouf but that didn't matter in the referee's eyes. I wouldn't have quibbled had they shown Vardy a yellow."
Former Leicester striker Dion Dublin on Final Score: "Rubbish. The referee has got that completely wrong. Vardy makes the tackle. He has no intention of making the tackle with two feet at all. It is 100% wrong."
Ex-Tottenham striker Garth Crooks on Final Score: "Craig Pawson has fundamentally misunderstood what has gone on. Vardy left the ground with two feet but he has done that in order to get to the ball.
"He won the ball and Diouf gets out of the way. Vardy makes no contact. He has been anything but reckless. Referees are making big decisions with the little teams because it seems to be easier."
Amid Leicester's heroics, there will be concern from Stoke boss Mark Hughes at how easily his team let three points escape from their grip.
With a one-man advantage and a two-goal lead, the Potters looked to be coasting toward a third win in five games.
They forced three good saves from Schmeichel, who put in an impressive performance on his return to the Leicester side after a broken hand.
But the hosts dropped deeper and deeper in the second half and, after some slick passing play in the first period, resorted to hitting hopeful balls into the channels.
It meant Leicester could keep coming back at them and ultimately Stoke, who had kept three clean sheets in their past four games, looked tired and flimsy at the back.

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes said: "Leading 2-0 it was well deserved, we were good value for that lead and were in good shape. You have to get the job done and we didn't do that.
"You think it should be a straightforward second half, but we made it difficult and allowed them to get back into the game.
"We are in decent shape, but this game should have been won."

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri said: "It was a fantastic spirit and we wanted to fight until the end so it was important for us to play well.
"During half-time we spoke a lot and had to believe something good was possible. I am always positive.
"It could be a turning point today, but we have to wait and see the next matches.
"I was angry at the referee because I saw my players fight and there were so many yellow cards, but it was a normal battle in the Premier League."
There's a nine-day rest for Leicester as they host Everton on Boxing Day (26 December), while Stoke are in action a day later when they travel to Liverpool on Tuesday, 27 December.

Dumfries and Galloway College was built by Miller Construction which was involved with a number of the schools.
Regular condition surveys are carried out at the Dumfries building with the most recent a little over a year ago.
However, the college confirmed that in light of recent events a further survey would take place earlier than planned.
Helen Pedley, director of organisational development and facilities, said: "As part of the college's normal maintenance programme regular condition surveys are conducted with the most recent in February 2015.

Some demonstrators who ignored requests to depart were arrested, and makeshift wooden structures were set ablaze.
A boy aged seven and a girl, 17, are being treated for burns following two explosions resulting from the fires.
A federal judge has rejected a request by two Native American tribes for an emergency order blocking the pipeline.
The two tribes say the $3.7bn (£2.8bn) pipeline creates a risk of water pollution and endangers sites they consider sacred.
The protest camp was located on federal land near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order authorising the Dakota Access Pipeline to proceed, arguing it will bring huge economic benefits.
When completed, by Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, the project will take oil through the Dakotas and Iowa to Illinois to be shipped.
The battle of Standing Rock has been bitter to the end. Barring an eleventh hour twist, the protestors - who call themselves water protectors - have lost their fight.
Smaller camps may remain but the oil looks certain to flow, perhaps as soon as a fortnight from now. However some demonstrators say they have succeeded in pricking the nation's conscience on two fronts.
First, by highlighting the abiding resentment of many Native Americans at the pillage of their land by the white man. And secondly, by showcasing the ultimate unsustainability of an economic system built on a thirst for oil.
Even if that is true, it has come at a cost.
Scores of people were injured; the state of North Dakota must pay a bill running into millions of dollars; and hundreds of protesters face criminal charges, some with the potential of lengthy jail terms.
Not only that but the protests have split the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and its supporters - as well as underlining, yet again, deep divisions in the wider United States.
Earlier on Wednesday, about 150 people departed the camp for the last time as a deadline to leave the area approached.
Up to 75 people remained outside the camp and at least nine people were taken into custody for failing to leave, authorities said.
Lt Tom Iverson said police would not enter the camp on Wednesday night.

Goals from Sam Togwell and Matt Tubbs secured the hosts their first win in 11 league games - and first home victory since October.
Togwell gave Eastleigh the lead when he lashed a bouncing ball into the top corner of Jonathan Flatt's goal.
Tubbs, in his first game since rejoining the club, made it 2-0 in the first minute of the second period when he pounced after Flatt failed to hold on to the ball.
Barrow, who had lost one of their last six going into the game, could not produce a fightback, with Scott Wilson going close to adding a third for Eastleigh.

The 25-year-old finished with a three-under-par round of 70 to leave her three behind winner Jiyai Shin of South Korea.
The former world number one closed with a final round of 69.
Scotland's Pamela Pretswell also carded 69 in her fourth round to finish eighth.
"Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong-un will find another path!" he tweeted.
He spoke as Pyongyang accused him of "driving" the Korean peninsula to the "brink of a nuclear war".
North Korea has announced plans to fire missiles near the US territory of Guam.
The Pacific island's homeland security agency issued a fact sheet on Friday with tips for residents to prepare for any missile threat.
It states: "Do not look at the flash or fireball - it can blind you."
"Lie flat on the ground and cover your head. If the explosion is some distance away, it could take 30 seconds or more for the blast wave to hit."
Moscow said the exchange of threats between Washington and Pyongyang "worry us very much".
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov rated the risk of military conflict as "very high" as he put forward a joint Russian-Chinese plan to defuse the crisis.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said there was no military solution, and "an escalation of the rhetoric is the wrong answer."
But later on Friday, at his private golf club in New Jersey, Mr Trump issued further threats to Pyongyang.
Asked about his "locked and loaded" tweet, he told reporters: "I hope that they [North Korea] are going to fully understand the gravity of what I said, and what I said is what I mean… those words are very, very easy to understand."
He added: "If he [Kim Jong-un] utters one threat in the form of an overt threat - which, by the way, he has been uttering for years, and his family has been uttering for years - or if he does anything with respect to Guam or anyplace else that's an American territory or an American ally he will truly regret it and he will regret it fast."
Mr Trump's latest remarks follow his threat earlier this week to rain "fire and fury" on Pyongyang.
His latest post came hours after his Defence Secretary Jim Mattis attempted to cool tensions by emphasising a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
Speaking in California late on Thursday, the Pentagon chief said it was his job to be ready for conflict.
But he said the effort by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley "has diplomatic traction, it is gaining diplomatic results".
Mr Mattis added: "The tragedy of war is well enough known. It doesn't need another characterisation beyond the fact that it would be catastrophic."
When asked about US military plans for a potential conflict, he said the country was ready, but he would not "tell the enemy in advance what I'm going to do".
Also on Friday, North Korea's official KCNA news agency accused Washington of a "criminal attempt to impose nuclear disaster upon the Korean nation".
Pyongyang's media outlet said America was making "desperate efforts" to test weapons in the Korean peninsula.
The US is "the mastermind of nuclear threat, the heinous nuclear war fanatic", the report said.
Despite the rhetoric from both sides, the Trump administration has been conducting behind-the-scenes diplomacy with North Korea for several months, the Associated Press news agency reports.
Washington has been addressing the issue of Americans detained in the country and escalating tensions on the peninsula, according to AP.
Joseph Yun, the US envoy for North Korea, and Pak Song-Il, a senior North Korean diplomat at the UN, are said to be leading the talks.
Tensions have risen since North Korea tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles in July.
The regime was further angered by last week's UN decision to increase economic sanctions against it.
North Korea said it was finalising a plan to fire medium-to-long-range rockets towards Guam, where US strategic bombers are based, along with more than 160,000 US citizens.
There has been no indication that any actual attack on the Pacific island is imminent.
On Thursday Mr Trump suggested that his own statements on North Korea had not been tough enough, warning the regime to be "very, very nervous".
However, he added that the US would always consider negotiations.
He also chided the North's closest ally, China, saying it could do "a lot more".
China's state-run Global Times newspaper wrote that Beijing should stay neutral if North Korea launches an attack that threatens the US.
But it also said that if the US and South Korea attacked North Korea to force regime change, then China must intervene to prevent it.
Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said his nation would be prepared to join a conflict against North Korea if the US came under attack.
Australia would honour its commitment under a 1951 treaty, he said, "as America would come to our aid if we were attacked".

After Warwickshire declared their first innings on 362-8, Oliver Hannon-Dalby picked up the early scalp of England Test opener Sam Robson for 12.
But Rogers (85) and Neil Dexter (70) put on 127 for the fourth wicket before both fell to Recordo Gordon (2-45).
John Simpson contributed 53 as the hosts closed only 52 behind on 310-6.
After losing most of the second day to rain, Warwickshire's declaration was forced by the need to seek a victory to keep them in touch with leaders Yorkshire and second-placed Nottinghamshire.
It looked like a good decision as they reduced the home side, themselves looking for a win to move away from the relegation zone, to just 65-3, with Robson, Nick Gubbins and Dawid Malan all departing.
But captain Rogers and all-rounder Dexter stood firm for 39 overs, with the former becoming the first Middlesex player to reach 1,000 Championship runs in 2014 - Malan the next highest with 915.
After both went to Gordon, with Rogers taken down the leg-side by wicketkeeper Peter McKay, Simpson added his fourth half century of the season before he went lbw to Keith Barker (2-81) as they game seemingly moved towards a draw.
BBC London 94.9's Kevin Hand:
"Despite a nervy start, Middlesex kept Warwickshire at bay with a defiant batting display that leaves the match destined for a draw unless the captains can agree on a chase, but time is against then.
"The pitch was again helpful in the morning session but batting became easier as the day wore on and the ball softened. Both Chris Rogers and Neil Dexter batted with control to build the crucial partnership with the latter taking on spinner Jeetan Patel throughout, preventing him from settling into his usually dangerous pattern.
"The new ball was taken immediately but departed as quickly as it was bowled, although John Simpson's fine fifty came to a close moments after he passed the milestone.
"Middlesex could declare behind overnight and leave the ball in Warwickshire's court as to how desperate they are for a win to keep them in with a chance of winning the Championship."

The Crown Prosecution Service said it would not be charging four men arrested last year in connection with the case.
Miss Lawrence, 35, disappeared after leaving her house on Heworth Road in York on 19 March in 2009.
Peter Lawrence said he remained hopeful someone would still come forward with information.
"I am disappointed that after such a long and expensive police investigation into Claudia's disappearance and possible murder no-one is to be prosecuted," he said.
"However, prosecution and even conviction would not bring Claudia back to us and may well not have resulted in revealing where she is buried, if she was murdered.
"Someone knows what happened on that day seven years ago and they should now come forward to tell us where our darling daughter, and Ali's loving sister, is.
"I have always said that the not knowing is the hardest thing for the family to bear."
The four men, who are all in their 50s and from the York area, were arrested in March and April of last year as part of a review of the initial investigation into the case.
North Yorkshire Police said up to 20 detectives and police staff had worked full-time on the review for more than two years at a cost of nearly £800,000.
Det Supt Dai Malyn, who led the investigation, said he understood the frustration of the Lawrence family.
"We have made progress but the public are the key and somebody or some persons out there have the information that will assist us in unlocking this."
Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said he hoped to allocate the money ahead of the chancellor's Autumn Statement.
Philip Hammond has said that any EU projects signed off before then will be fully funded despite the UK's decision to leave the EU.
However, the funding may miss the 23 November deadline.
It is understood there are complications around the cross-border nature of the money.
The Irish government is believed to be concerned about its position and whether it will be reimbursed by the EU if it funds post-Brexit projects.
Mr Hammond has said that EU schemes signed off by November would be guaranteed funding even if they continue after the UK leaves the EU.
Trevor Francis, 71, was found guilty of two offences of using lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour towards young girls and three assaults.
The children were in his care at the St Margaret's children's home in Elie, Fife, in the mid-1970s.
He was given an MBE at Buckingham Palace by Prince Charles in 2012.
At Dundee Sheriff Court a sheriff told him: "This was a gross breach of trust."
Francis, a qualified nurse, took over as a manager at the home in 1973.
He was described as "creepy" and a "Jekyll and Hyde character" who subjected kids there to brutal physical attacks and sexual assaults.
Three girls - aged 14 to 16 at the time- told a jury Francis would creep into the girls' dormitory at the home in the night and sexually assault them.
A male resident at the home told how he had once run away and got as far as Kirkcaldy where he was picked up by police and taken back.
Francis took him into a laundry room and attacked him as punishment.
Other victims told how Francis slapped them in the face and beat them with a slipper in violent rages.
Fiscal depute Eilidh Robertson told the jury: "He is a manipulative, violent and predatory person who abused the trust of these vulnerable people who he was paid to protect.
"But instead he perpetrated physical and sexual abuse towards them and managed to stay undetected because of his Jekyll and Hyde personality.
"The accused might seem mild mannered - an upstanding citizen, a family man.
"We are dealing with an intelligent, manipulative man who can turn on and off that predatory, violent behaviour."
Giving evidence in his own defence Francis said he was "relatively easy going" and claimed to have had a good relationship with the children at the home.
Francis, from Aberdour, had denied a total of nine charges on indictment.
However, a jury found him guilty by majority.
Defence solicitor Kerr Sneddon said: "He maintains his innocence. He therefore can't take responsibility for his actions."
Sheriff Alastair Brown also placed him on the sex offenders register for 10 years.
The study found that after two years 27.5% of Welsh patients had died, compared to a combined rate for England and Wales of 24%.
The Health and Social Care Information Care (HSCIC ) said the difference could be due to less detailed Welsh data.
Earlier this year, Wales showed the biggest increase in cancer survival.
For the most recent figures the national audit of bowel cancer surveyed more than 78,000 colorectal cancer patients.
More than 2,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year in Wales.
Bowel cancer, also known as rectal, colorectal or colon cancer, is the third most common cancer in Wales.
In Wales, a national bowel screening programme offers a test kit to men and women aged between 60 and 74 to help with early diagnosis of any problems.
It aims to reduce the number of bowel cancer deaths by 15% by 2020.
The HSCIC said the way information was recorded in Wales meant it was difficult to assess whether higher death rates were due to other factors, such as patients having other life-limiting illnesses.
"There are many potential explanations for variation in two year mortality, including differences in patient characteristics, differences in the completeness and accuracy of data submitted, and differences in the quality of care for people with colorectal cancer, both before and after surgery," said consultant surgeon Nigel Scott, the study's clinical lead.
"We will investigate these potential causes in further detail in next year's National Bowel Cancer Audit."
The Island Coaster service runs between Ryde to Alum Bay and Yarmouth during the summer months but does not accept concessionary bus passes.
Six parish councils have said it could help mitigate the impact of cuts to public transport.
Isle of Wight Council said it was considering the issue.
The Coaster, run by Southern Vectis, is exempt from the England National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) which provides free local bus travel to eligible older or disabled people.
In an open letter to the council, six parish and town councils said it should be opened up to concessionary pass holders to mitigate the effects of public transport cuts.
The 6 and 12 services, which follow similar routes to the Coaster, were reduced following cuts to subsidies earlier this year.
Niton parish councillor Jonathan Young said: "Residents see these buses going past their door and they really don't understand why they have to wait for a different one.
"The Coaster is now de facto an important part of the local bus network for a large part of the route, regardless of its original purpose.
An Isle of Wight Council spokeswoman said "The council is currently considering a request to consider Island Coaster's inclusion into the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme."
It follows an altercation with Bradley Wood in the 39th minute of their National League match against Lincoln.
Storer, who appeared before a Football Association regulatory commission in London on Thursday, was also fined £750 and warned over future conduct.
The 29-year-old was initially booked after the incident, on 30 April, as Cheltenham went on to win the game 3-1.
He also scored in the game on the final day as the Robins were presented with the league trophy.
Cook, 26, picked up three player of the year awards before Saturday's 2-1 win at home to Burnley.
The centre-back revealed hard work on his personal fitness in pre-season and becoming a father have helped.
"That's what it takes to play at this level," he told BBC Sport. "You need to be committed and look after your body."
Bournemouth's victory over Burnley lifted them into the Premier League's top half and ensured they surpassed last season's points tally with a game remaining.
Ever-present Cook was humbled to have been recognised by the supporters.
"I've been here a long time, but I've got to improve and keep up with the pace of this club," he told BBC Radio Solent. "It keeps improving every year at a fast rate.
"I won't be missing next week I can assure you of that," he joked. "I worked really hard in the off-season and got myself really fit and I think that's told this year."
Cook is preparing to get married this summer and for the arrival of his second child, two things he admits have given his game focus.
"You don't get distracted," he added. "You know what you've got to do at home and there's a responsibility with fatherhood that makes you willing to give everything.
"Joshua King's another younger lad who's really embraced fatherhood and that translates to the responsibility you take on to the pitch."
Since then, he has been branded the "unacceptable face of capitalism" after BHS, the retail chain he sold in March 2015 for £1, went into administration leaving a £571m hole in its pension fund.
In the latest development, a damning report by MPs found that Sir Philip had extracted large sums from BHS and left the business on "life support".
The retail tycoon's life story to date is rich in character and anecdote, from his failed attempts to take over Marks and Spencer to the lavish lifestyle that has attracted accusations of tax avoidance.
Despite being born into a well-to-do family in south London, Philip Green prided himself on having worked his way to the top.
His competitive streak was apparent from an early age, noticed by school mates at Carmel College, his exclusive boarding school, nicknamed the "Jewish Eton".
School friend Tony Rauch recalls Philip making a beeline for the table-tennis table at break time, tussling with another boy to get hold of the bat that was in best condition.
"Unfortunately the other kid was a bit bigger than Philip and won," he told BBC Radio 4's Profile programme in 2012.
"He got very angry; cried a little bit," says Mr Rauch. "He wasn't physically hurt, I think he was just very angry at having lost."
Sir Philip never lost his will to win. Profile reported that even when playing a game with his own children, he played to win, and quoted him as saying: "Why do you want to do something and not win - to not succeed at something?"
He left school aged 15 and began working on the forecourt of the petrol station that his mother managed.
He then went on to learn business basics as an apprentice in a shoe warehouse. At 23 years old, he set up his own business importing and selling jeans.
Stuart Lansley, the author of an unauthorised biography of Sir Philip, described those early days for Radio 4.
"He had a very mixed track record of starting up companies, and closing them down, working with other people, falling out with people.
"He travelled a lot, learning a lot about the supply chain, who the cheaper suppliers were and so on - but he certainly wasn't a household name."
Ironically it was BHS, known then as British Home Stores, that marked the moment Sir Philip Green finally "arrived" in 2000.
He paid £200m for what was already a slightly faded, dowdy chain. According to Stuart Lansley, his restless mind had spotted a beguiling new way to make money from the High Street.
"Philip Green moved from having a few million to a few billion in the space of a few years," says the author.
"He learned the way to make big bucks was essentially to do what's known in the trade as a 'leveraged buyout'.
"He borrowed very large sums of money, invested a little bit himself, and bought up companies that were relatively cheap, because they weren't doing very well. He turned them around, paying off his debt, and then tripling - quadrupling - the money he put in, in a matter of a couple of years."
Two years later, he copied that model of the leveraged buyout when he bought the giant retail empire Arcadia, which owns brands such as Burton, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge, and of course Topshop and Topman.
Sir Philip Green's most ambitious move came in 2004, when he put together £10bn ($16.1bn), much of it from investment banks, to make an offer for Marks and Spencer.
Even Sir Stuart Rose - then his rival and at the helm of Marks at the time - was impressed.
"Philip is not only a first-class retailer, he is absolutely pre-eminent in his generation in terms of his financial nous and ability," Sir Stuart told Profile.
"If I wanted to be slightly uncharitable, I could say that he came to the market to raise a very, very large sum of money at a time when money was cheap and freely available - but only Philip could have put that together. It was a pretty amazing achievement."
Sir Philip's business skills may not be in doubt - but his interpersonal skills are another matter, and he reportedly has a very short fuse.
Sir Stuart Rose has first-hand experience of this, with Sir Philip reportedly grabbing the then Marks and Spencer boss by the lapels during his second unsuccessful takeover bid in 2004.
"There was a fairly physical occasion one morning, yes. I think tension had got quite high during the bid and Philip got upset about something," said Sir Stuart.
"He wasn't above ringing me up during the height of the bid and singing 'if I were a rich man' down the telephone to me, trying to point out the error of my ways [for not selling]... that I would make more money.
"He used to say, 'The only jet you know is Easyjet.'"
Sir Philip Green is not shy about enjoying the trappings of his success - his personal fortune is estimated at somewhere between £3bn and £4bn and he enjoys spending it.
He commutes into London from Monaco in a private jet, has a super-yacht called Lionheart, and is famous for throwing extravagant parties for friends and family in exotic places, with entertainment from the likes of Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and George Michael.

He has also forged a business partnership with supermodel Kate Moss, whose line of clothes helped raise Topshop's profile in the world of high fashion.
But what has attracted the most controversy is not the lavish lifestyle, but his tax affairs.
In 2005, his company paid a £1.2bn dividend to the owner of Arcadia - Sir Philip's wife, Tina. Since she is a resident of Monaco, she paid no tax in the UK.
In 2010, activists demonstrated outside the flagship Topshop and BHS stores in central London after Sir Philip was chosen by then Prime Minister David Cameron to conduct a government efficiency review.
They thought his tax arrangements made him the wrong choice. Despite their anger, however, Arcadia has paid significant sums in corporation tax.
But some of Arcadia's glamour has waned in recent years. Critics say that Sir Philip, notoriously averse to electronic gadgets, has not embraced online shopping as aggressively as his competitors.
While sales remained steady through the group, BHS was seen as the weakest link, and was sold for £1 to Retail Acquisitions, a group of investors including a Formula 3000 racing driver, bankers and entrepreneurs.
Now questions are being asked over just how much money Sir Philip had taken out of the company in the years before that sale.
Angela Eagle, the former shadow business secretary, said: "In this situation, it appears this owner extracted hundreds of millions of pounds from the business and walked away to his favourite tax haven, leaving the Pension Protection Scheme to pick up the bill."
BBC business editor Simon Jack said: "In his defence, he ran this company for 15 years, he employed thousands and thousands of people, and he was a great force for UK fashion retail, and made it a great force here and in the US.
"It doesn't look good as he jumps on his yacht to go back to Monaco leaving pensioners and employees worried about it, but he is not a natural corporate raider. He's not necessarily the vulture type of capitalist that people have portrayed him as in the last couple of days."

Thomas Quinn, 30, fled from Aintree University Hospital, Liverpool, where he had been taken for routine treatment for a hand injury, police said.
Mr Quinn, of Hall Lane, Wythenshawe, handed himself in to a police station in Cheshire on Saturday morning.
Prison officers had taken him to hospital on Wednesday and reported him missing at about 00:30 BST on Thursday.
He was awaiting a court appearance for robbery offences.
Crowds were generally smaller than in March when more than 1.5 million people turned out.
They allege involvement of the governing Worker's Party in bribery at the state oil firm Petrobas.
President Dilma Rousseff denies involvement and has been exonerated in an investigation by the attorney general.
The political opposition say much of the alleged bribery of politicians took place when Ms Rousseff was head of the oil company.
Despite her exoneration, many protestors still believe that the president must have known about the scandal. Some have been calling for her impeachment.
The number of protestors varied widely. Police have said that 696,000 people took to the streets on Sunday but organisers have put the number at 1.5 million, according to Globo news.
Many of the protestors wore the yellow shirts of the national football team and waved Brazilian flags. Others held placards reading "Dilma out" and "Corrupt government".
In Rio de Janeiro, several thousand people marched along Copacabana beach, a turnout reported to be considerably lower than the 25,000 protestors seen on 15 March.
A BBC correspondent in Rio de Janeiro says that most of the protestors in the city were white and middle class.
The exact turnout in the city of Sao Paulo is unclear. Police say 275,000 participated in the march but organisers have put the figure nearer 1 million.
After the protests in March, the government promised a series of measures to combat corruption and impunity.
The Workers' Party has been in power since President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was sworn in for his first term in January 2003.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court approved the investigation of 54 people for their alleged involvement in a corrupt scheme.
It is alleged that private companies paid corrupt officials in order to get lucrative Petrobras contracts.
High-profile politicians also took a share of the money siphoned off from the oil company, according to the investigation.
Officials to be investigated include Senate President Renan Calheiros, President of the Chamber of Deputies Eduardo Cunha, former Energy Minister Edison Lobao and former President Fernando Collor de Mello.
All deny corruption allegations.
The 30m Wellingtonia was planted in the grounds of Wrest Park near Silsoe, Beds, in 1856 by Thomas de Grey.
It was brought into the mansion for the family's Christmas celebrations and re-planted once the festivities were over.
This year a 3ft star will be put at the top and visitors will decorate the lower branches with ribbons.
From the mid-19th Century, families would bring trees in from their garden during the festive period and adorn them with candles, sweets and homemade decorations.
English Heritage said reference to its use as a Christmas tree was recently found in an edition of Gardener's Chronicle, from June 1900.
Until then it had not realised the significance of the tree.
The article said the tree was planted in 1856 and "must therefore have been one of the first introduced into this country".
"Mr Ford, the late gardener at Wrest Park... has carried the plant many times from the conservatory to the mansion, and vice versa," it read.
After growing too large to be brought indoors, it has stood in the grounds for decades.
John Watkins, from English Heritage, said it was a "rare, documented example of a tree that was decorated and replanted annually".
"Christmas trees were the height of festive fashion by the 1850s after being adopted by the Royal family as part of their celebrations," he said.
"[This tree] was planted shortly after the trend for Christmas trees began and we believe it is one of the earliest examples.
"If anyone knows of an earlier one, we'd like to hear about it."
Wrest Park is a country estate and gardens which is now owned by English Heritage.
While the whole world has been focusing on the Panama Papers leak, we have been engulfed in our own local leaks here in Ghana. Not of the secret offshore accounts kind but of the examinations kind.
We are in the midst of what seems to be a regular embarrassing crisis. This year, just like the year before, there are reports that the questions for the West African Senior School Certificate exams have leaked.
The morning the exams were due to start, a national newspaper carried a front page story announcing that the questions for three subjects, Oral English, Integrated Science and Social Studies, had leaked and some students had received the questions on social media between the hours of midnight and 04:00.
I have been wondering how helpful leaked questions for Oral English can be. Would I have fared any better if my A-level Oral French questions had been leaked to me at 01:00 on the morning of the exams? I suspect not.
But times change, I have to concede.
There have been photos of the thighs of students with words written on them, which were said to be answers to the questions they were facing in the exams.
As can be expected there is the inevitable outcry from everybody, all the way to President John Mahama, who has expressed his indignation that the West African Examination Council was not able to protect the integrity of its exams.
The head of its national office has offered the most reassuring explanation: What had happened should not be called a leak of the questions; it was a simply a case of the children getting "foreknowledge" of the questions.
Apparently it only qualifies as a leak when students get access to questions a number of days before the exams.
When it happens hours before, as in this case, then the students had "foreknowledge".
I was not quite sure whether to laugh or to cry and as I have followed the ensuing discussions and arguments, I notice that most people were only worried that their certificates would be deemed worthless and degraded by institutions in the parts of the world Ghanaians aspire to go to - the UK, US, Australia, etc.
It seems it is perfectly OK for us to have worthless and degraded certificates for our use here in Ghana.
Then I discovered that this was not a problem plaguing us here in Ghana alone.
A little search revealed that other countries on the continent, like Kenya, Zambia and Zimbabwe, and, of course, our West African neighbours regularly have similar problems.
India has also had the most interesting stories about exam leakages and/or foreknowledge of questions.
What I find the most shocking about the phenomenon in Ghana, though, is the regular involvement of teachers and parents in attempts to compromise the integrity of exams.
Schoolchildren have told stories of parents giving them money to buy leaked questions.
Teachers have been found to offer prepared answers to their students.
I have decided there is no point in getting myself scandalised by these outrages.
These days I pick my fights and if parents and teachers think it is acceptable to undermine the integrity of exams, I know I am up against it.
It helps, though, that I now have an explanation for the 30-something-year-old I met recently who cannot read or write and claims to have completed Junior High School (JHS).
Now, when I am confronted with mediocrity in public life, and when I am dismayed with the obvious illiteracy of people in high public positions who are supposed to have academic qualifications, I can safely explain the situation to myself.
They must have had "foreknowledge" of questions in their exams at the basic, secondary, degree and maybe even masters and PhD levels.

Grimethorpe Colliery Band is surviving on income from playing concerts after losing sponsorship money.
The band's manager Nigel Dixon said the schedule of 40 to 50 concerts a year was "not sustainable for a long period of time".
Mr Dixon said if the band could not find additional funding it could close.
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, which ended in 2011.
The amateur group found fame after its recent history was fictionalised in the 1996 film starring Ewan McGregor and Pete Postlethwaite, which the Grimethorpe band provided the sound track for.
It also featured in the opening ceremony for the London Olympic Games.
Mr Dixon said that despite the band's international reputation its future was uncertain.
"We're on the edge," he said. "There is absolutely no doubt about that, and we're having to work to survive.
"How long can we sustain 40 to 50 concerts a year? Not for too long I would guess."
The Royal Navy's former flagship was decommissioned early following the 2010 defence review and is being towed to Turkey for scrap.
As part of a £2.9m deal Ark Royal will go to the same yard that took its sister ship Invincible.
The Invincible Class aircraft carrier saw active service in Bosnia and during the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Moving gracefully out of the harbour entrance, Ark Royal is looking majestic.
It is still looking a very modern and sleek-lined ship. But the flight decks where helicopters once stood are empty.
It's a very sad and poignant sight for many of the former ship's company gathered up here on the Round Tower.
Former petty officer Steve Higgins admitted to being quite emotional as he told me "the one that isn't going is the memories".
Formally decommissioned in 2011, the Harrier jets that flew from Ark Royal were sold as spares to the US.
BBC defence correspondent Caroline Wyatt said the move was heavily criticised at the time.
New carriers using the joint strike fighter will not enter service for nearly 10 years.
A bid to sink Ark Royal and turn it into an artificial diving reef off the Devon coast was rejected as were plans for a commercial heliport in London, a nightclub and school in China and a casino in Hong Kong.
The Ministry of Defence said the bids were judged either "not feasible or appropriate", or carried "too much risk".
It has been claimed Edir Frederico Da Costa was "brutally beaten" by Met Police officers earlier this month.
Campaigners protesting over his death alleged he suffered serious injuries, including to his head and neck, after he was stopped by officers.
A post-mortem into his death revealed no signs of neck or spinal injuries.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said there were also no signs of a broken collarbone or bleeding on the brain.
A pathologist removed a number of packages from Mr Da Costa's throat which will undergo further analysis, associate commissioner Tom Milsom added.
The IPCC said it was releasing the information because it was concerned about the "rapid spread of false and potentially inflammatory information".
"I must stress that the pathologist has not yet identified Mr Da Costa's cause of death and has requested further tests be conducted", Mr Milsom added.
"We are examining the actions taken by police during the original detention of Mr Da Costa, including the use of force, as well as the subsequent response in administering medical assistance".

Mr Putin, better known for his love of judo, only recently took up hockey and clearly enjoyed himself.
His performance on skates drew jokes on social media. Mashable correspondent Christopher Miller reported in a tweet, "Underdog #Putin, scoring 8 goals, leads Stars hockey team to surprise 18-6 victory in #Sochi".
"This is Russian media's version of a cute puppy video," tweeted Russian sports writer Slava Malamud.
The Sochi match, held to celebrate 70 years since Victory in World War Two, coincided with Russia's national hockey team winning the semi-final in the ice hockey world championship against the US 4-0. It will play Canada in the final on Sunday.
In March, questions were raised about the health of Mr Putin, who plunged the world into uncertainty last year by annexing Crimea from Ukraine, when he disappeared from public view for 10 days before re-emerging without explanation.
His athletic, action man image has long been cultivated by the Kremlin with the three-term president doing everything from riding bare-chested to boarding a fighter jet.
Mr Putin's semi-official personality cult took yet another turn on Saturday when a Cossack group near the northern city of St Petersburg unveiled a bust of the Russian president, depicted like a Roman emperor.
Scotland IS, the trade body that represents digital industries, reports today on a survey showing companies have recently been enjoying impressive growth in sales, exports and in jobs.
Some 84,000 people work in the digital business, says the organisation. And it's reckoned another 70,000 could be created within the next five years.
But these are often jobs that could be created elsewhere. And it's been forecast (in the US) that nearly two-thirds of jobs that will be filled by today's school pupils don't exist yet.
So preparing for the future requires imagination. And according to Scotland IS, it needs connectivity, skills, research and access to growth capital to ensure Scots can take advantage of global and domestic opportunities.
There are gaps in all of these. Broadband and mobile connectivity is one of the areas being emphasised in the Holyrood election campaign pitches to help economic growth (not that they have yet featured prominently).
Scottish education ought to provide an advantage in skills, though it faces very tough international competition to raise the quality of workforces, with vast quantities of technology graduates from emerging economies.
It is research that is a particularly big problem for Scotland - not in the quality of what's going on in universities, but in the lack of investment by businesses in Scotland. The position has become slightly less bad, according to the statistics issued this week by the Scottish government.
But that's from a very poor position, and it still leaves Scotland trailing its international competitors.
These figures cover 2014, and show that research and development by businesses reached £905m in Scotland. With nine more people employed in R&D in 2014 than in 2013, that's nearly 10,000.
Sounds impressive? Well, consider this. The spend per head on R&D in Scotland two years ago was £159. The UK figure was £309. In the east of England, where Cambridge is one of the technology hot spots, there are defence contractors, and a lot of Big Pharma at work, it is £703. More than two-fifths of the UK's business investment in R&D is in the east and south-east of England.
Only five companies account for nearly a third of Scottish R&D spending. More than half of it takes place in Edinburgh, Aberdeen (nearly five times higher than the Scottish average spend per head) and West Lothian.
Some 45% of business R&D carried out in Scotland is by businesses owned in the USA, far ahead of the 29% by Scottish-owned companies.
The retreat of manufacturing explains much of this story, yet it still accounts for more than half the R&D spend. Investment by other sectors has been volatile, and mostly disappointing. You may think that it doesn't matter so much to spend on research for product development in the service sector, but that would be to ignore the growing importance of fintech, or financial technology.
There has been significantly faster growth in Scotland than the UK as a whole since the start of this century. But in 2014, business R&D represented only 0.6% of national output. The UK figure was 1.09%.
And this is where its gets a lot more alarming, because the UK as a whole lags its economic competitors.
The share of British output in R&D is lower than the European Union average. It's half of the scale of commitment to be found in Sweden and Finland, where Nokia may have shrunk, but the innovating habit seems to have stuck.
Only Italy and Canada come close to Scotland's position, at the bottom of this international league table.
There have been numerous attempts over several decades to address this well-known problem. Obviously, they haven't had all that much success.
One of the current ones is an industry-academic group called the Growing Value Scotland Task Force.
It is compiling a report, due for publication next month. So far it has identified the problem in a similar way to its predecessors.
It cites figures that show Scotland contributed only 3.1% of business R&D to the UK total of £24.1bn in 2012, which is just over a third of its population share.
The interim report notes that the level of co-operation on innovation between businesses and universities in Scotland is much lower than for the rest of the UK, as is the capacity of business to absorb knowledge gained from research.
It raises questions of whether the strategy should be attracting big research firms, particularly those from the USA, or encouraging home-grown companies to think more in terms of innovation through research.
And if it's a question of public policy, which sectors? The unsnappily titled Growing Value task force looked at digital, financial, oil and gas and life science. It found businesses need to be clearer about their R&D needs and communicate them better to universities.
Universities were found to be constrained by competition between them. Or as it was grandly phrased: "The collaboration landscape is disaggregated".
There's a mis-match of the pace at which academic researchers move compared with the business need to get results soon.
The findings so far suggest more could be done on curriculum development and student placements to fit with business needs. There is the suggestion that oil and gas firms could be forced to invest in R&D, as in Brazil and Norway (though that may be the last thing they want to hear at the moment).
Business leaders admitted they could do more to welcome ideas from outside their firms. But they also observed that they innovate in ways which add ideas and continuous improvement and which don't count as fundamental R&D for the accountants and statisticians.
Academic researchers could be encouraged to work with colleagues in business schools to package industry-ready projects, the task force suggested. And why not have better incentives for academics to get rich in the process, or at least trouser some modest moola?
But there's another possibility. Maybe universities are the wrong place to look, if Scotland is to grow its economy and prosperity with its brainpower and innovation. That's the provocative view of a St Andrews University academic, which was published this week.
Ross Brown, at the management school in Fife, says that the pressure on universities to take up the slack in business commitment to R&D, and to generate high-technology start-up companies, has "largely failed". Indeed, it may be "mission impossible".
"The strongly engrained view of universities as some kind of innovation panacea is deeply flawed," he says. "As occurred in the past when inward investment was seen as a 'silver bullet' for promoting economic development, university research commercialisation has been granted an equally exaggerated role in political and policy making circles. Universities are not quasi economic development agencies."
Why? Based on his research, Dr Brown has developed the view: "Most academics make poor entrepreneurs and often view public sector funding as a form of research grant income. Additionally, despite the high level of focus on stimulating university-industry linkages, most SMEs (small and medium-scale enterprises) do not view universities as suitable or appropriate partners when it comes to developing their innovative capabilities.
"Given the nature of the local economy with its very low levels of innovation capacity in SMEs, the remit conferred upon them is a mission impossible for Scottish universities. Part of this owes to the mismatch between the advanced nature of higher education research and the more routine technical needs of most SMEs."
Yes, he says, writing in Industry and Innovation journal, universities are important to the economy for providing skills to a graduate level, and to attracting research income, while creating the economic environment for successful cities.
But in future, "policy makers might wish to get other actors, especially within the small business community, more centrally involved in shaping how best to tackle the deep-seated problem of low levels of corporate R&D in Scotland.
"Arguably, support organisations such as Scottish Enterprise should work to connect SMEs to all sources of innovation, not just universities. Given their strong vocational focus, FE colleges may also potentially have a key role to play."
Putting colleges to the forefront of economic development, instead of universities? It's not too late to get that into a Holyrood party manifesto.
Residents in Maerdy launched an appeal three years ago to create a memorial to those who lost their lives working in the coal industry.
It will be at the foot of the mountain road linking Maerdy with Aberdare.
The pit wheel of the Maerdy colliery will form part of the memorial.
Opened in 1875, it was the main employer in the area for many decades, going on to become the last deep mine in the Rhondda Coalfield, which was once home to 79 coal mines.
Rhondda Cynon Taf councillor Keiron Montague said: "The closure of the Mardy Colliery at the end of 1990 truly was a sad day for the community, and it was a loss that was felt throughout the whole of the area that was once known as the South Wales Coalfield.
"This wonderful memorial in Maerdy will be a fitting reminder of the sacrifices made by generations of workforces who worked in often treacherous circumstances such as through two World Wars and the 1885 colliery disaster."
The $7.5m (£6m) lawsuit was brought by Nicole Eramo, an associate dean from the university, who said the article had cast her as the "chief villain".
The 2014 article, written by Sabrina Rubin Erdely, included the rape claim of an unidentified female student.
The magazine retracted the article in April 2015, citing inconsistencies.
The 9,000-word article, entitled A Rape on Campus, centred on the testimony of a student, referred to as "Jackie", who claimed to have been gang raped at a party held at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity's house in 2012.
An investigation by the Charlottesville Police Department had found no evidence that "Jackie" had been gang raped.
Nicole Eramo was in charge of overseeing sexual violence cases at the university when the report was published.
The amount she is due in damages will be determined at a later date.
The 10-member federal jury in Charlottesville found that Erdely was responsible for libel with actual malice.
They also found the magazine and its publisher responsible for defaming Ms Eramo.
Lawyers representing the journalist, the magazine and its parent company, Wenner Media, said that while the magazine acknowledged its mistakes it believed it had not acted with actual malice, the Washington Post reported.
In a statement, the magazine added: "It is our deep hope that our failings do not deflect from the pervasive issues discussed in the piece, and that reporting on sexual assault cases ultimately results in campus policies that better protect our students."
A report from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, commissioned by Rolling Stone, found flaws at every level of the magazine's editing process.
It described the article as "a story of journalistic failure".
UK Anti-Doping is investigating the package received by Dr Richard Freeman, an ex-Team Sky medic who pulled out of a hearing into the matter last week.
Wiggins, the 2012 Tour de France winner, has not been asked to appear.
"For sure, there's still questions to be answered, but Freeman and Brad don't seem to have the flak," Thomas said.
"Those are the people who, primarily, this whole things involves. But they can swan around getting on with their lives while we have to answer questions we've got nothing to do with," he told Cycling Weekly.
"Really, it just seems to be us, which is annoying."
Team Sky have admitted "mistakes were made" around the delivery of a medical package sent to Wiggins when he was racing at the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine, but deny breaking anti-doping rules.
Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford has said he was told the package contained a legal decongestant - Fluimucil.
However, there are no records of the treatment, a situation which leaves British Cycling and Team Sky's reputation "in tatters", according to the chairman of the parliamentary select committee investigating the matter.
Team Sky say they take "full responsibility" for the failures.
"There is a fundamental difference between process failures and wrongdoing," Brailsford said on Tuesday.
On Monday, several Team Sky riders - including Thomas - tweeted their support for Brailsford.
Chris Froome, a three-time Tour de France winner and the team's leading rider, has yet to comment publically.
"I've known Dave a hell of a long time now and have 100% confidence he would never do things the wrong way," Thomas added.
"He's done so much for the sport. I'm fully behind him. He hasn't done anything untoward, no rules have been broken - the same as Brad and Freeman."

The cryoshape procedure, carried out at Neath Port Talbot Hospital, involves pumping liquid nitrogen through a special needle into the scar.
Marc Jenkins, 43, was one of the first patients to have the treatment, which takes about one hour to complete.
He said he was "really happy" after scarring on his left earlobe, which was pierced when he was younger, vanished.
So far, four patients have undergone treatment and six more are due.
Mr Jenkins, of Pyle, Bridgend county, said his scarring had not responded to several operations and treatments over the past 15 years.
"Psychologically, the last 15 years have been difficult. Hopefully all that is over now," he said.
"I'm really happy with what they've done. It's amazing. The idea of it is brilliant, I'm fascinated by it."
Max Murison, plastic surgeon and laser specialist, said: "We are now able to remove abnormal scars with a new technique that was developed in Scandinavia.
"It was discovered that people who get frostbite don't get bad scars. They heal beautifully."
He carried out the first procedure in January after receiving approval for funding by Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board.
Neath Port Talbot Hospital is currently the only hospital in Wales carrying out the procedure, and one of few in the UK.

Nearly 40 bottles of Scotch are now shipped overseas each second, contributing nearly £4bn to the UK's balance of payments.
But its success has come at a price.
The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) now works 24/7 blocking attempts by companies around the world to pass off their products as "Scotch" in order to boost their own profits.
In a new report, the industry body revealed proceedings were authorised against 19 different brands last year, covering Belgium, China, Curacao, Ecuador, France, Germany, India, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Scotland.
Scotch whisky is protected as a Geographical Indication (GI), meaning it can only be produced in Scotland, according to UK rules.
But that hasn't stopped imitators, who have come up with ingenious ways to try to get around protection laws.
Scotch whisky facts and figures 2014
•Exports generated about £3.95bn - the equivalent of £125 every second
•Thirty-eight bottles bottles were shipped overseas each second
•More than 10,000 people are directly employed in the industry
•Some 115 distilleries are licensed to produce Scotch
•Scotch whisky accounts for around a quarter of all UK food and drink exports

SWA director of legal affairs, Magnus Cormack, says his organisation currently has 60 to 70 active legal cases in 30 different countries, as well as about 300 trademark oppositions in upwards of 20 nations.
He says issues can range from simple fraud - passing off drinks as Scotch whisky when they are not - to subtle attempts to dress up products to look like Scotch.
Last year it acted against a brand called Highlander in Bulgaria.
The labelling stated that the product was a "Grain Alcoholic Drink with Malt", depicted a Scottish bagpiper in full Highland dress and used one of Scotland's most famous castles, Eilean Donan, as its background.
Having reached the conclusion that the product was being passed off as Scotch whisky, legal proceedings were taken against the company before the Sofia City Court. The SWA succeeded in having the Highlander mark removed from the country's trademark register.
"The means by which somebody can pretend that a product is Scotch whisky defy numeration," says Mr Cormack.
"Sometimes it will be very subtle indeed - it may just be the use of an English language brand name in a country where English is not the main language spoken. In those countries, people assume that a whisky labelled in English must be a Scotch whisky."
SWA's legal department has a team of eight working on protecting Scotch, including five lawyers.
It also employs a specialist trademark watching service which generates about 400 alerts per month from all over the world.
In addition, it picks up information from Scotch whisky producers who have spotted potentially fake products in overseas markets.
"With the litigation internationally we have to draw on the expertise of lawyers in other countries to actually do the groundwork," says Mr Cormack.
"I like to put it by saying that we fashion the bullets and the lawyers abroad fire them."
India has kept the lawyers busier than most other countries over the past decade. SWA is currently opposing more than 100 trademark applications there.
Last year, SWA launched a court action over the proposed launch of an Indian whisky with the name Scotia Imperial, or Scosia Imperial, which also featured a tartan design.
The company involved claimed that, according to the dictionary, "Scotia" was an architectural term relating to "a concave moulding, especially at the base of the column" and that "in conventional distilleries the distillation columns have a concave base".
It also argued that "every design with a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical is not a tartan design".
SWA subsequently secured a court order which included a ban on the drink producer using the words "Scotia" or "Scosia" or any tartan design on any whisky other than Scotch.
Mr Cormack says: "There are a number of ingenious arguments that people come up with.
"My favourite is a brand in India called Scotch Terrier. The defendant in that particular case argued that this had nothing to do with trying to pass the product off as Scotch whisky, it was just the name of his dog.
"The court did not accept that argument."
But problems can also arise in more mature markets.
According to Mr Cormack, Australian local authorities have been reluctant to take action against companies accused of producing fake whisky, forcing the trade body to take on litigation by itself.
He added: "In other countries we find that we can rely very heavily on the administrative authorities.
"China is a good example. As the Chinese market took off, so imitators followed. A lot of products were falsely described as Scotch whisky and we would report those to the local authorities, who would take action.
"And in China the penalties can be quite high and people can go to prison. So that's been quite a deterrent factor."
Mr Cormack agrees that SWA's attempts to stamp out deceptive behaviour can resemble the old arcade game whack-a-mole.
"That is a very fair analogy," he says. "Sometimes we will take action against a particular company and a particular brand, and the company will re-emerge in another guise with another brand and we have to do it all over again.
"There are certain companies that we've had to take proceedings against on a number of occasions, and each time the penalty the company suffers tends to get higher, and we hope that eventually they will see that the profits are not worth it, or non-existent."
Mr Cormack adds: "The value of the brand Scotch whisky is really incalculable.
"At the moment Scotch whisky can only be produced in Scotland.
"If the geographic description Scotch whisky came to mean simply that it was just a type of whisky which could be distilled anywhere, that would be a disaster for the Scottish economy and for the British economy.
"It's what happened to London Gin. At one time it was only produced in London - now it just means a type of gin which is produced worldwide, and London distillers have missed out on an opportunity.
"So I think the value of protecting Scotch whisky is essential. But for a protected name, there would be no industry."
Teesdale and Weardale Search and Mountain Rescue Team will keep vehicles and equipment at Durham's Community Fire Station.
It will also be based at a new £3.78m quad station in Barnard Castle incorporating the county's fire, police and ambulance services.
Deputy team leader Steve Owers said finding people in semi-urban areas now accounted for half of its call-outs.
Tracking down children and people with dementia or depression, who were unlikely to survive another night outdoors, had doubled the team's workload, he said.
Having a base in Durham, the centre of the county, means rescuers have easier access to equipment, cutting response times.
"Building a relationship with police officers and firefighters on the ground that we're going to be meeting in incidents is really important," Mr Owers said.
The new rescue centre in Durham is named after former rescuer Chris Scott, who died in 2014, aged 75.
They said that the bomber was on foot and targeted a bus carrying the troops.
The Taliban say that they carried out the attack, the first by them in the capital for more than a week.
Kabul's police chief resigned at the end of last month following a surge in attacks by Afghan militants on foreigners in the city.
President Ashraf Ghani, who took power in September, has vowed to bring peace after decades of conflict.
But Kabul has been regularly subjected to Taliban bombings, with the military, police and government officials all targeted.
The Taliban have stepped up attacks in Afghanistan as most foreign combat troops prepare to leave the country later this month.
As part of the agreement on the withdrawal of foreign combat troops, some 12,000 Nato soldiers will remain to train and advise Afghan security forces from 1 January.
A separate US-led force will assist Afghan troops in some operations against the Taliban.
From 6 May, the road will be reduced to one lane at weekends, between Newhouse and Baillieston, for three months.
This will allow for demolition of Bo'ness Road bridge, which crosses the A8 at Chapelhall, and construction of a widened bridge at Shawhead junction.
Work to upgrade the M8, M73 and M74 is due to be completed in spring 2017.
Graeme Reid, project manager for the M8 M73 M74 Motorway Improvements Project, said: "These works have been scheduled to take place over the weekends to avoid disruption to commuters during the morning and evening peaks.
"Two lanes will be reinstated in each direction ahead of the Monday morning rush hour."
A contraflow will be introduced on approach to the Chapelhall and Shawhead junctions, reducing traffic to one lane in each direction from 20:00 on Friday to 06:00 on Monday, for the next two weekends - 6-9 May and 13-16 May.
Following the initial two weekends, the contraflow at Chapelhall junction will be removed.
However, the weekend reduction to one lane in both directions on approach to Shawhead junction will remain in place for about three months.
Mr Reid added: "We're working closely with our contractor, Scottish Roads Partnership, to minimise the disruption to road users as a result of this work, and these restrictions will not be in place during the May Bank Holiday weekend (28-29 May), or during the weekend the Scottish Cup Final takes place at Hampden Park (21-22 May).
"Whilst we're doing everything we can to minimise the disruption, delays will be inevitable, so we're asking motorists to check the Transport Scotland and Traffic Scotland websites for updates on this key route between Glasgow and Edinburgh, to plan their journeys in advance and to look at taking an alternative route if possible."
The motorway improvements project began in February 2014 and is scheduled for completion in spring 2017.
The work will upgrade the M8, M73 and M74 near Glasgow.
The work will see upgrading of the M8 between Baillieston and Newhouse to motorway standard.
This will require upgrades to the connections to the M73 motorway at Baillieston and a new junction at Shawhead, which will connect to the A725 East Kilbride road.
There will also be new junctions at Eurocentral and Chapelhall.
Improvements to the Raith Interchange near Hamilton in Lanarkshire include realignment of the A725.
There will be an underpass for the A725 and bridges carrying the Raith roundabout.
The improvements are expected to cut journey times by up to 18 minutes for the busiest sections of the M8. | Eastleigh belatedly secured their first National League victory of 2017 with a home success against Barrow.

The scheme, which was first mooted in 2003, is designed to reduce congestion and improve air quality in the town.
However, original and revised plans have already been rejected after proving unpopular with local residents.
A BBC Freedom of Information request to the county council revealed the authority has spent £862,000.
The cash has been spent on elements including design, consultation and investigating a park and ride scheme, the council said.
The original Dorchester Transport and Environment Plan (DTEP) scheme included implementing various road closures and one way streets in the town, but was put on hold due to funding issues until 2013.
Plans were then altered and included a one-way system on High West Street and High East Street and restricted turns at Great Western Junction, but these were rejected by local residents in October 2013.
Concerns included traffic being transferred onto residential streets.
On 3 September, a revised scheme was rejected by the county council's cabinet after it again proved unpopular with local residents.
A scaled back version of the revised plan is now being investigated and includes pedestrianising the southern end of South Street, and upgrading traffic lights at the junction of High Street with Trinity Street.
County councillor Trevor Jones said the latest plans had shown to have "broad approval" amongst residents.
He added the council was now "intent on pushing it through, implementing it and helping to alleviate some of the traffic problems in the town".

John Redwood said English MPs should meet to decide English-only issues, while the existing UK Parliament of all MPs would focus on "Union" matters.
The Scottish Parliament is set to gain major new tax powers even in the event of a No vote in Thursday's poll.
Mr Redwood said England should not be "fobbed off" with anything less.
There are growing calls for the devolution framework put in place under the last Labour government - which saw the establishment of the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and the Northern Ireland Assembly - to be revisited whatever the outcome of the referendum vote.
If Scotland rejects independence, Labour, the Conservatives and Lib Dems have said they will support giving substantial new powers to the Scottish Parliament in areas such as taxation, borrowing and welfare - a package ex-prime minister Gordon Brown has said will amount to "home rule".
But many English MPs have said this will necessitate wider constitutional changes, with some backing a federal model where all the different nations of the UK have the same financial autonomy.
Mr Redwood said giving English councils more financial freedoms and budgetary control in policy areas - as proposed by Labour and the Lib Dems - simply did not go far enough.
While he said the public had rejected the idea of a regional assembly in the North of England and were lukewarm about elected mayors, the idea of a English-only Parliament was very popular.
"As the Scottish Parliament is going to have the power to fix income tax in Scotland, we need an English Parliament to fix the level of income tax in England," he told BBC Radio 4's Today.
In such an event, he said it would not longer be fair for MPs from Scottish constituencies to vote on devolved matters relating solely to England, including the setting of English-only tax rates.
At the moment, Scottish MPs at Westminster can vote on matters relating only to England - such as health and education - even though their English equivalents have no say in the running of the NHS or schools in Scotland - which are devolved to the Scottish Parliament.
He added: "We English MPs are very happy to vote through more powers for Scotland... but our price is no more Scottish votes on English issues in the Parliament..
"You have to form the English Parliament from the English MPs.
"I want them to meet as an English Parliament and have our own English ministers on English issues just as the Scottish Parliament meets."
Asked how this would work, Mr Redwood said the most "economical" solution would be for English MPs to be both members of a Parliament devoted solely to English issues and a Union Parliament that concentrated on matters reserved to the UK government such as foreign affairs and defence - in which Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs would also be represented.
"We have a Union Parliament meeting as it does today and on other days of the week English MPs within that Union Parliament would form the English Parliament," he said.
While backing this idea, the ConservativeHome website has warned that such a solution is not without its difficulties and "controversial decisions would have to be taken about what exactly constitutes non-Scottish business".
None of the three main parties currently backs the idea of an English Parliament and ministers have said all such discussions need to wait until after the outcome of the referendum vote.
The Lib Dems did not mention the so-called "West Lothian question" in its pre-election manifesto published last week but pledged a "devolution on demand" approach to giving more powers to councils and new devolved bodies.
But former Lib Dem leader Sir Menzies Campbell has said that if extensive further powers were given to Holyrood, then it would be "unsustainable" for Scottish MPs to continue to vote on health, education and other non-reserved issues in Westminster.
Labour is reported to be concerned about its ability to get future Budgets through the House of Commons if Scottish MPs are excluded from voting on English-only tax issues.
One Labour MP said the overlapping nature of economic decision-making meant having a separate English Parliament was "not the simple answer" its proponents believed.
"One cannot just have John Redwood and a few others deciding what the future governance of England should look like. It has to be determined by a very clear process set out in law."
But the MP welcomed the growing debate on the issue, adding that "acceptance among Labour's English MPs that the system will have to change is quite widespread".
UKIP has called for a "fully federal" UK, with similar economic powers for all the different nations while the English Democrats has claimed a Yes vote on Thursday is the "easiest way" to dissolve the Union and achieve the party's objective of independence for England.
Even if the event of a No vote, the English Democrats' chair Robin Tilbrook has said a "great surge of devo-max" for Scotland would have huge implications for the rest of the UK.
"England needs to be properly represented and the British political establishment is simply not doing that job," he says.
They have built an Earth-sized "virtual telescope" by linking a large array of radio receivers - from the South Pole, to Hawaii, to the Americas and Europe.
There is optimism that observations to be conducted during 5-14 April could finally deliver the long-sought prize.
In the sights of the so-called "Event Horizon Telescope" will be the monster black hole at the centre of our galaxy.
Although never seen directly, this object, catalogued as Sagittarius A*, has been determined to exist from the way it influences the orbits of nearby stars.
These race around a point in space at many thousands of km per second, suggesting the hole likely has a mass of about four million times that of the Sun.
But as colossal as that sounds, the "edge" of the black hole - the horizon inside which an immense gravity field traps all light - may be no more than 20 million km or so across.
And at a distance of 26,000 light-years from Earth, this makes Sagittarius A* a tiny pinprick on the sky.
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team is nonetheless bullish.
"There's great excitement," said project leader Sheperd Doeleman from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
"We've been fashioning our virtual telescope for almost two decades now, and in April we're going to make the observations that we think have the first real chance of bringing a black hole's event horizon into focus," he told BBC News.
The EHT's trick is a technique called very long baseline array interferometry (VLBI).
This combines a network of widely spaced radio antennas to mimic a telescope aperture that can produce the resolution necessary to perceive a pinprick on the sky.
The EHT is aiming initially to get down to 50 microarcseconds. Team-members talk in analogies, describing the sharpness of vision as being the equivalent of seeing something the size of a grapefruit on the surface of the Moon.
They emphasise the still complex years of work ahead, but also trail the prospect of an imminent breakthrough.
The scientists certainly have an expectation of what they ought to see, if successful.
Simulations rooted in Einstein's equations predict a bright ring of light fringing a dark feature.
The light would be the emission coming from gas and dust accelerated to high speed and torn apart just before disappearing into the hole.
The dark feature would be the shadow the hole casts on this maelstrom.
"Now, it could be that we will see something different," Doeleman said.
"As I've said before, it's never a good idea to bet against Einstein, but if we did see something that was very different from what we expect we would have to reassess the theory of gravity.
"I don't expect that is going to happen, but anything could happen and that's the beauty of it."
Over the years, more and more radio astronomy facilities have joined the project. A key recent addition is the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile.
Its extraordinary state-of-the-art technology has at a stroke increased the EHT's sensitivity by a factor of 10. Hence, the optimism ahead of April.
Even so, scientists have had to install special equipment at all the radio facilities involved in the observations.
This includes big hard drives to store colossal volumes of data, and atomic clocks to precisely timestamp it all.
Nothing happens on the spot - the hard drives must first be flown to a large computing facility at MIT Haystack Observatory in Westford, just outside Boston, Massachusetts.
"Our hard-drive modules hold the capacity of about 100 standard laptops," said Haystack's Vincent Fish.
"We have multiple modules at each telescope and we have numerous telescopes in the array. So, ultimately, we're talking about 10,000 laptops of data."
It is in Haystack's correlator computer that the synthesis will begin.
Some very smart imaging algorithms have had to be developed to make sense of the EHT's observations, but it will not be a quick result.
It could be the end of the year, perhaps the start of 2018, before the team releases an image in public.
Looking to the future, the scientists are already thinking about how to extend their techniques.
For example, the matter closest to the event horizon and about to disappear into Sagittarius A* should take about 30 minutes to complete an orbit.
Katie Bouman, from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, thinks it might be possible to capture this movement.
"We want to push boundaries and to try to make movies from the data," she told BBC News.
"Maybe we can actually see some of the gas flowing around the black hole. That's really the next stage of what we're trying to accomplish with these imaging algorithms."
First and foremost, the team needs good weather at the participating observing stations in April.
The strategy is to view the galactic centre at a wavelength of 1.3mm (230GHz). This has the best chance of piercing any obscuring gas and dust in the vicinity of the black hole. But if there is too much water vapour above the array's receivers, the EHT will struggle even to see through Earth's atmosphere.
Just getting a resolved view of Sagittarius A* would be a remarkable triumph in itself. But the real objective here is to use the imaging capability to go test aspects of general relativity.
If there are flaws to be found in Einstein's ideas - and scientists suspects there are more complete explanations of gravity out there waiting to be discovered - then it is in the extreme environment of black holes that limitations should be exposed.

He told the House Intelligence Committee he was aware of intelligence showing contact between Russian officials and "US persons involved in the Trump campaign".
Mr Brennan said the Russians "brazenly interfered" in last November's US elections and were "very aggressive".
But he said he did not know if the Trump campaign intrigued with Moscow.
Mr Brennan, who stepped down as CIA director in January, testified on Tuesday: "I encountered and am aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and US persons involved in the Trump campaign that I was concerned about because of known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals.
"It raised questions in my mind whether or not Russia was able to gain the co-operation of those individuals."
Trump-Russia scandal: How did we get here?
Trump trip memorable moments
His evidence undercuts President Donald Trump's claim that the investigation is a "taxpayer funded charade".
The White House said Mr Brennan's testimony "backs up what we've been saying all along".
"There is still no evidence of any Russia-Trump campaign collusion," the administration said in a statement.
The House inquiry is one of two congressional investigations into claims that Russian hackers tried to tip the presidential election in Mr Trump's favour last November, and whether members of his campaign aided the alleged Kremlin conspiracy.
The FBI also has its own investigation on the issue.
Mr Brennan added that he left office with many unanswered questions about Russia's influence over the election, but that the FBI's probe was "was certainly well-founded and needed to look into these issues".
Mr Brennan also told lawmakers that he had warned his Russian counterpart, FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov, during a phone call last August against meddling.
He told Mr Bortnikov any attempt to interfere would "destroy any near-term prospect" of repairing relations between Washington and Moscow.
Mr Bortnikov twice denied interfering and promised to bring up the matter with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Mr Brennan.
As CIA Director, Mr Brennan, along with the FBI and the Office of Director of National Intelligence, released an intelligence report in January concluding that Moscow attempted to influence the outcome of the election.
Days afterwards, Mr Trump strained relations with the intelligence community when he accused spy officials of leaking allegations that Russia had compromising information on him, likening it to "Nazi Germany".
At the time, Mr Brennan called Mr Trump's accusations "outrageous".
In a separate congressional hearing on Tuesday, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats declined to comment on a report that Mr Trump asked him to publicly deny there was any evidence of collusion between his campaign and Moscow.
According to the Washington Post, Mr Coats and Admiral Mike Rogers, director of the National Security Agency, rejected Mr Trump's alleged request.
Meanwhile, the Senate Intelligence Committee announced plans to issue two new subpoenas - legal summons - to businesses owned by Michael Flynn, Mr Trump's fired national security adviser, who left after misleading the White House about his Russian contacts.
Mike Flynn 'lied' on security clearance
Also on Tuesday, Democrats on the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee wrote to the Treasury Secretary seeking "all pertinent financial records... that may shed light on President Trump's financial transactions with and business ties to Russia".
The letter, which was sent on committee letterhead, required approval from the panel's ranking Republicans in order to be sent.
The proponents say the law would reduce prices and give farmers more incentive to grow other crops.
The bill will be debated by the lower house of Congress in the coming days.
But Colombia's justice minister has said introducing such a law would violate Colombia's commitments to international narcotics treaties.
Colombia is one of several South and Central American countries facing widespread drugs-related violence, with much of the product destined for users in the US.
The measure was proposed by Liberal Party Congressman Hugo Velasquez and signed by seven other lawmakers.
It would eliminate prison terms for growing coca leaf, the main ingredient for cocaine.
"We have to tell the United States and other consumers, Colombia has already paid enough, mostly in blood", said Mr Velasquez, who represents the coca-growing province of Meta.
"It hasn't worked. It's time to change the strategy."
The proponents say the law would lead to the market being flooded with cocaine, lowering its price and reducing the incentive for farmers to grow coca for cartels and rebel groups.
"Let's see how well the laws of the market work," Mr Velasquez said. "If there's excessive production due to the lack of criminal penalties surely the market will depress the price."
The government in Bogota has signalled its opposition to the law.
Justice minister Juan Carlos Esguerra said Colombia had to respect its commitments to international treaties.
"We have to be particularly prudent and careful," he told the Reuters news agency.
Correspondents say the bill is likely to fail, but is intended to focus the attention of leaders meeting next month in Colombia for the Summit of the Americas on how to combat illegal drug production.
The US has previously made clear its continued opposition to legalisation of drugs, while acknowledging it as a legitimate subject for debate.
Manager Brendan Rodgers has two trophies in his debut season, following League Cup success in November, and has a Scottish Cup final with Aberdeen to look forward to next Saturday.
The Celtic class of 2016-17 have set a number of new SPL/Premiership-era records on their way to a sixth consecutive title.
Here are the key figures behind Scotland's 'invincibles'.
No Scottish champions have gone unbeaten since the late 19th century. Celtic managed it in 1897-98, with Rangers going one better the next season, winning every game. However, those league campaigns were over 18 matches, not even half the duration of the current one.
In the SPL/Premiership era, Celtic lost one game in their 2001-02 and 2013-14 successes.
In 1967-68, both winners Celtic and runners-up Rangers were beaten just once.
Only Juventus in Italy's Serie A (2011-12), Arsenal in England's Premier League (2003-04) and Barry Town in the League of Wales (1997-98) have been unbeaten champions over a 38-game campaign in recent history.
The previous Scottish record was 103 points, set by Celtic in 2001-02 - Martin O'Neill's second season in charge.
It is also a new European record, surpassing Welsh side Barry Town AFC, who reached 105 in 1996-97.
Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the other European sides to have hit 100 or more points in a season.
Again, Celtic surpassed a record of their own, having won 33 league games in the 2001-02 season.
The champions scored four goals or more on 14 occasions.
The biggest home win was 6-1 against Kilmarnock in September, while there were 5-0 away victories at Hearts and Partick Thistle.
Celtic needed a final-day victory to edge past the 29-point margin of victory they managed in 2013-14.
No mean feat considering runners-up Aberdeen set their best Premiership points tally with 76.
Paris St-Germain set a new European mark last season when they finished 31 points clear in Ligue 1.
Stuart Armstrong's second-half strike against Hearts on Sunday meant Celtic bettered the 105 league goals they scored in 2003-04.
The champions scored in every league outing, averaging just over 2.7 goals a game.
In 1966-67, under the legendary Jock Stein, Celtic netted 111 goals in 34 Division One games, returning an eye-watering 196 in all competitions on their way to a domestic treble and European Cup glory.
The title was wrapped up in early April with a thumping 5-0 win at Tynecastle.
The previous record was seven games to spare, set by Rangers in 1928-29 and equalled by Celtic in 2013-14, both over 38-game campaigns like this one.
Two Devante Rodney goals looked to have kept Hartlepool up, but Mark O'Brien's late winner for Newport County in their game saved the Welsh club instead.
Andy Williams had put Rovers ahead before United's stunning fightback.
But O'Brien's 89th-minute Newport goal sent Hartlepool to the National League.
Needing to win and hope Newport failed to beat Notts County to survive, Hartlepool's decisive day began badly when James Coppinger's first-half cross was eventually turned in by Williams from close range as defender Carl Magnay sliced his clearance.
With Newport winning at that stage, Hartlepool looked doomed, before an equaliser for Notts County at Rodney Parade lifted the Teesside club.
And Hartlepool's hope turned to ecstasy as 18-year-old substitute Rodney slotted in his first two senior goals in quick succession to temporarily lift United above the drop zone.
But, as the game moved into stoppage-time, news of Newport's late twist brought despair to the Victoria Park faithful.
Defeat saw already-promoted Doncaster, who had needed to better Plymouth's result to finish top, fail to capitalise on Argyle's draw and they eventually finished third, as Portsmouth leapfrogged both their rivals to win the title.
While an extraordinary finish at Rodney Parade was ultimately what sent Pools down, their undoing began much earlier in their campaign.
Hartlepool had won just two of their past 10 games when manager Craig Hignett was sacked in January after 11 months in charge.
Despite that poor run, Pools were seven points clear of the relegation zone when they named former Wolves, Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff boss Dave Jones as their new boss - an appointment that was described as a "no-brainer" and "a real coup for the football club".
But just 13 points were taken out of a possible 51 in his disastrous 17 games in charge, leaving Pools two points adrift of safety when he was dismissed on 24 April, less than 48 hours after club president and Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling issued a message for Jones to leave during a live television broadcast.
Defender Matthew Bates was placed in charge for the final two games of the season, with striker Billy Paynter and coaches Stuart Parnaby and Ian Gallagher forming the rest of a makeshift coaching team.
But, after losing at then-relegation-rivals Cheltenham on the penultimate weekend, they were unable to stop Pools dropping out of the EFL for the first time since 1921.
Hartlepool caretaker boss Matthew Bates told BBC Tees:
"I was trying to keep a level head but it was difficult with the results coming in.
"There was nothing wrong with the performance. They went 1-0 up and we had to regroup, but we did and came back at them.
"It was all positive in the dressing room at half-time. The shackles were off and there was no pressure so make yourself heroes.
"We needed to get the fans onside and we did with our performance. I have learned if you give the fans everything on the pitch they will stick by you.
"We got relegated but the fans stayed behind and clapped us off they showed their appreciation but ultimately is that right or wrong?
"The players have been magnificent in the past two weeks. It has been humbling."

Some people end up needing hospital treatment because they cannot afford their medication, it says.
It wants conditions such as Parkinson's to be added to the list of specific illnesses that require free medicines.
But health officials say they have made sure people with chronic illnesses have access to affordable prescriptions.
Zoe Oakley, a bus driver and mother of two from Poole, is one of thousands of people who would like free medication.
She has polycystic kidney disease and is currently waiting for a transplant, but says the costs of her blood-pressure medication to protect her kidneys can take its toll.
She says: "There were two times when I couldn't afford them and wasn't going to refill my prescription until I got paid.
"The morning after skipping my medication, I woke up with what can only be described as feeling like the worst hangover ever.
"I had an absolutely pounding headache. Later in the day, my blood pressure spiked so high that I had to be taken to hospital by ambulance.
"The first time, I had a lumbar puncture and an MRI scan to make sure there was no bleeding in my brain.
"You cannot tell me that that was less expensive for the NHS than covering the cost of my prescription.
"And I'm currently on the transplant list for a new kidney. If I get it, I'll have to pay for my own anti-rejection medication. That doesn't seem right."
Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland have scrapped prescription charges for everyone in recent years.
In England, many are dispensed free of charge, mostly to the over-60s, the under 16s, pregnant women and those on low incomes.
But 10% are paid for - and mostly by people on modest wages with long-term conditions not included on the current exemption list, according to the coalition group.
As a result, organisations such as Parkinson's UK, National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society and Asthma UK say the list of medical exemptions is "unfair" and "out of date".
Neal Patel, from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, agrees that the current system is arbitrary and unfair.
He said: "The main burden falls on those with long-term conditions such as HIV, asthma and multiple sclerosis, who have to pay for prescriptions to stay well.
"Prescription costs place a particular squeeze on the finances of those who are in work on modest incomes, who sometimes cannot afford prescription medicines - a price that's ultimately paid in preventable hospital admissions, wasted NHS time and avoidable sick leave."
Meanwhile a Department of Health official said: "We have made sure that people with long-term conditions can get access to affordable prescriptions.
"That's why there are a number of prescription-charge exemptions in place and 90% of items prescribed are free on the NHS in England."
The "medical exemptions" list was drawn up in 1968 and includes a number of specific and sometimes rare conditions. The only recent addition was cancer treatment.
At present, some people with life-long health conditions qualify for free prescriptions and some do not.
Those who need to take insulin for type-1 and type-2 diabetes are included - but those with asthma, HIV and rheumatoid arthritis are not.
Treatment for an underactive thyroid is included, but not for an overactive one.
There are some ways of getting cheaper medications, for example prescription season tickets - known as prescription prepayment certificates (PPC).
The certificates allow people who take regular medication to obtain all the prescriptions they need for £2 a week, according to NHS Choices.
Campaigners say long-term conditions affecting the population have changed significantly in the past 50 years and the list no longer reflects reality.
Their recent survey suggests some people who have to pay for prescriptions cannot always afford them, meaning they skip doses.
These people are then more likely to have additional health problems, a poorer quality of life and more frequent hospital admissions - on top of the existing condition and, often, a limited ability to work.
Who should qualify for medical exemption certificates has been a topic of hot debate over the years.
Some people suggest it should be everyone who has a long-term condition.
But experts have found it difficult to define exactly what constitutes a long-term disease.
And people who object to this idea say simply adding more diseases to the exemption list would lead to future inequalities as the patterns of disease continue to change.
There have also been suggestions that people with long-term conditions should get free medication only when the drugs relate to that particular condition, rather than free drugs for anything that goes wrong.
Others still have suggested not all people over-60 should get free prescriptions if they could afford to pay the charges.
Some say anyone who cannot afford to pay shouldn't.
Then, there is the idea that everyone should get free prescriptions.
Overall, there is general agreement that something needs to be done to reform the system in England.
But there has been little consensus about the best way to do it.
The finances have to add up, and as people live longer there are more and more drugs prescribed.
Some experts say this has to be balanced alongside the money that comes in - prescription charges bring in almost £500m per year for NHS services.
The Hatters also reached the last 16 of a cup competition in 2014-15. Not the FA Cup this time, but the Cheshire Senior Cup and a tie at Alsager Town. The attendance? 141.
The difference between the two fixtures - just 14 years apart - could not be more marked.
It underlines just how far Stockport, who enter the FA Cup this weekend alongside the likes of Dunkirk, Deeping Rangers, Larkhall Athletic and Sporting Khalsa, have fallen.
None of the other 159 clubs playing in the FA Cup this weekend can boast a continuous membership of the Football League that lasted more than a century, from 1905 to 2011.
And none have a team named after them in China either.
Stockport Tiger Star were a second division club based in Shenyang, 155 miles from the North Korean border, who changed their name after a visit from the English side in 2004.
Remarkable as it sounds, County drew a crowd of 22,000 - comparable to matches involving Manchester United and Barcelona elsewhere in China around the same time - to a friendly against Tiger Star.
The club made two such trips, thanks to contacts of then commercial director Steve Bellis, currently the director of a grassroots football organisation based in the north west who has just returned to Stockport in an advisory capacity.
Instead of heading to the sprawling mass of Beijing or Shanghai, where Europe's biggest names now tour so regularly, they went to Shenyang and Urumqi, among the stops on Chancellor George Osborne's current trade mission, in the east.
"They were different places - and things didn't always go to plan," said director Jon Keighren.
"On the 2001 trip I remember laughing at Andy Welsh, who was a teenager at the time, and Mike Flynn, who brought Mars Bars and Pot Noodles with them.
"When we went to the welcoming banquet and were given sea slugs and pigeon heads to eat, suddenly they were everyone's best friends."
While Stockport Tiger Star no longer exist, there remains an affection for Stockport among football fans in the region.
Visitors are still welcomed to Edgeley Park and there are loose plans to go back, although the stark reality of County's part-time status is an obvious hindrance, one of the clear differences between then and now.
Stockport and Manchester City met six times in the league from 1997 to 2003. Stockport won three and lost one.
In 1999 they were in a higher division than their illustrious neighbours.
That's 1999. Sixteen years. Not that long ago.
Tony Blair was Prime Minister, the euro was launched and Manchester United won the Treble.
The years have been kind to City. Not so Stockport.
"When I was a kid, I got most of my geographical knowledge through County and the teams they were playing," said Bellis. "Not for one second did I think I would be discovering new places like Brackley and Braintree."
Stockport's fall has been dramatic.
Administration in 2009. Relegated to League Two in 2010. Into the Conference a year after that.
In 2013, they dropped into the Conference North with a hefty thud.
Instead of Manchester City, Stockport's local derby now is a meeting with Curzon Ashton, five miles from Manchester City's Etihad Stadium in distance, a million in glamour and prestige.
"I don't like to look back," said Bellis. "We have to deal with the reality of where we find ourselves.
"But sometimes little things shake you. Seeing the Colwyn Bay directors celebrate beating County at Edgeley Park is what sticks with me.
"I didn't begrudge them it - not one little bit. But you just think 'how has this happened?'."
Last season's visit by Chorley drew a season high of 3,401, modest at best by Football League standards but 650 more than any other side in the league managed.
The return of Bellis's marketing nous and the steady hand of Keighren and his fellow directors have brought stability to a club that was hurtling towards oblivion. A five-year plan is in place to return County to the Football League by 2020.
And the approach - as it has had to - has changed dramatically.
"Growing up as a Stockport fan was never easy," said Keighren, a lifelong fan who became a director in 2013.
"So many kids in the area drifted off to watch United and City. To me, you were either one of them or one of us.
"I don't think like that any more. Nowadays, you might see shirts of other clubs at Edgeley Park. We have to embrace that and try to give children and the wider community an experience they wouldn't have at United or City, purely because they can get closer to the players than is practical at those big clubs.
"For all that has happened over the last few years, going into administration in 2009 had the biggest impact because we owed money to businesses in the community and it damaged them.
"They are the relationships we are now trying to repair."
A step in the right direction would be victory in the FA Cup second qualifying round on Saturday. A win would bring a reward of £4,500.
But while Stockport's name stands out as the grandest of the 160 clubs involved, their progression is far from guaranteed. They face a tricky tie against fellow National League North side AFC Fylde, who are above them in the table.
The trip to Kellamergh Park, with its 533 covered seats and a capacity of just over 3,000, will seem a long way from White Hart Lane or a game against Manchester City.
However, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both ended lower, bringing their winning streaks to an end.
The Dow rose 32 points, or 0.16%, to 20,775 points, while the S&P shed 0.1% to 2,362 points and the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 0.1% to 5,860 points.
The falls followed the release of the Federal Reserve's minutes.
Many Fed policymakers said it may be appropriate to raise interest rates again "fairly soon".
But the minutes also showed uncertainty because of a lack of clarity on the new Trump administration's economic agenda.
Chevron and Exxon Mobil both fell 1.2%, as did Intel.
The big winner of the day was Dow Chemical, which jumped 4%.
Tesla fell 1.4% before the release of its results that showed a better than expected rise in revenue, but still lost $121.3m in the quarter. Shares rose in after-hours trading.
There are 21 grands prix this year - the longest season ever - so reliability will be paramount and the mileage the world champions achieved was nothing short of remarkable.
They basically did an entire grand prix season in eight days in Barcelona - the same mileage as they managed last winter in 12 days.
That was 31% more than main rivals Ferrari. Which means they have 31% more data to work from going into the championship.
Mercedes already had a fast car and they have refined it, rather than make any huge changes, while Ferrari have revised quite a lot of features of their car.
And the Mercedes clearly does not lack for pace - when Nico Rosberg did finally put a set of soft tyres on, he was within spitting distance of the best times set by the Ferrari drivers on even softer tyres.
The signs are that Ferrari are closer this year. Last year, they were a second off the pace at the first race of the season and they still won three races and got in amongst it, scoring more podiums than they did in 2013 and 2014 combined.
They are moving in the right direction and, this year, it already looks as if they have reduced Mercedes' advantage. But the key for Ferrari will be whether they can qualify well.
Their record on Saturdays has been pretty woeful in the last few years, with only five poles this decade, whether it was Sebastian Vettel or Fernando Alonso leading the team. Last season they were closer, but still on average over the season 0.689 seconds behind Mercedes.
Whenever Ferrari made it on to the front row last year, they had a chance. They put Mercedes under pressure, exposed some weaknesses and were able to get in the mix.
If, as it appears, they are that bit closer again this year, Vettel could well make things awkward for Mercedes.
A lot has been made of the way Rosberg ended last season on a high, winning three races in a row, taking six consecutive poles and Hamilton seemingly unable to beat him.
Many have wondered aloud whether he can continue that run and put Hamilton under some pressure.
That remains to be seen. But there is no mystery to why 2015 ended the way it did.
Hamilton became a back-to-back champion with three races still to go. He had put a lot of energy into achieving that and, when the title was in the bag, he lifted off the throttle a little.
People should not underestimate the emotional investment a driver puts into trying to win a world title. It takes an awful lot out of you, so it's no surprise Hamilton was not on top form once it was settled.
The question is, can he kick-start all that again and come out of the blocks as he did last year, or is he going to be a bit subdued?
Hamilton's testing did not seem to go that well - he was talking about struggling on the softer tyres and Rosberg set quicker times than he did.
Testing is one thing; racing quite another. Rosberg was pasted by Hamilton at the start of last year and I suspect that was partly down to the effects of the way he lost the title at the final race of 2014.
I've been through losing a world championship at the last race, and I can tell you it takes a long time to get over it and come back again. You saw that with Mark Webber at Red Bull in 2011, and I think the same thing happened to Rosberg last year.
This year is a bit different - yes, Rosberg got beaten again in 2015, but he ended the season on a high rather than a low.
Maybe that was down to him being freed up psychologically after the title was lost. It could have been to do with a change in the car's behaviour following the increase in minimum tyre pressures late in the season. Perhaps once his baby daughter was born and he became a father, that was one more pressure out of the system.
I've seen Nico around Monaco a couple of times this winter and he seems pretty calm. I think he is in a pretty good place right now.
The first qualifying session of the season will set the tone. If it's a clean session and Rosberg can beat Hamilton, things could get very interesting.
Ferrari would love Vettel's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen to join the German in taking the fight to the Mercedes.
It looks as if the car suits Raikkonen better again this year, just as it did last year compared to 2014. But Vettel had about 0.4secs on Raikkonen last year and it's hard to imagine that gap will close much.
One thing that could help Ferrari is the increased freedom on tyre choice this year, with three types of tyres rather than two available each weekend, and teams able within restrictions to choose how many of each they want.
In the past, Ferrari have tended to go better the softer the tyre, so this could potentially help them and enable them to look at doing something different strategically.
Ferrari have chosen for their drivers exactly the same mix of tyres as Rosberg for Australia - with Hamilton the one out on a limb in choosing only one set of mediums and an extra pair of softs.
This offers Ferrari, and Rosberg, a chance to do one fewer pit stop than Hamilton in Melbourne, which could spice things up a bit.
Williams look like they are best of the rest, closely followed by the two Red Bull teams and Force India. That four-way fight looks like being pretty intense.
Red Bull are still using a Renault engine this year - although it is badged as a Tag Heuer after a sponsor. That power-unit has improved significantly over the winter, but it is still down on performance compared to Mercedes and Ferrari, which will make life difficult for Red Bull, especially during races.
Force India are feeling quite good about the balance and consistency of their car. They are unlikely to have the consistency to challenge Red Bull and Williams all the time due to the pace of development through the season the bigger teams will be able to achieve, but they will have a good go at it on certain types of circuit.
The manufacturer with the most room for improvement was McLaren's partner Honda. It looks better for them - but not better enough.
The biggest weakness of that engine - hybrid energy deployment - has been vastly improved. But it remains a long way down on overall performance and McLaren are still in the region of two seconds off the pace and still have one of the slowest top speeds.
One thing did stand out in pre-season testing, though - McLaren were the team with the biggest disparity between actual lap time and theoretical best lap time (when you put together all the best sectors achieved by a driver on different laps).
That can only be down to two things - either they are disguising their true pace a little; or the car is inconsistent in its behaviour.
If it's the first, it's not going to make a huge difference, perhaps a couple of tenths of a second a lap. If it's the second, that's bad news for Jenson Button.
He held his own very well against Fernando Alonso last year but will undoubtedly struggle more if the car is difficult to predict in the way it drives.
We already saw this a couple of times in 2015 - when the car was wayward, such as in Spain and Singapore, Alonso was suddenly a long way ahead. There's no-one better in a tricky car than Alonso; and Button struggles in one more than some others.
Whatever, that team still has a long way to go before they are where they want to be and contending for race wins and championships.
There will be a new qualifying format introduced at the first race of the season after what can only be described as a bizarre backwards and forwards process in the last couple of weeks.
First it was going to be introduced, then it wasn't, then it was but with tweaks, and then finally the original plan was agreed after all - all in the space of seven days.
I found it particularly ironic to hear Bernie Ecclestone say his company could not make the necessary changes to the timing systems and television graphics in the timescale, when they were asking the teams to do exactly the same.
Anyway, the new knock-out system has been brought in, not because there was anything wrong with qualifying in the first place, but in the hope that it could mix up the grids a bit as a result of teams making mistakes.
That could indeed happen to a degree. But one corollary is that the teams that are more efficient in terms of their tyre usage, their hybrid energy and general ability to crunch numbers will benefit - and they are the teams who are already at the front.
In the past, we've seen top teams - particularly Ferrari - miscalculate the cut-off time and end up being knocked out early. But now teams are going to have to be out on track to ensure they can respond when necessary.
I suspect what will happen is that teams will set a lap and then cruise around keeping their hybrid systems charged and their tyres up to temperature so they are able to do another lap if they need to.
Where it might have a negative effect is in the final shoot-out for the top eight positions. It's going to end up with only two drivers left - and it's quite possible that we'll know after the first sector of the lap who's going to be on pole.
And that's not ideal - after all, some people pay to see Saturday's action. There's an appeal in seeing who is the absolute fastest over one lap.
Allan McNish was talking to BBC Sport's Andrew Benson
The man threatened staff with a knife at the branch on High Street at about 09:30 on 17 June before making off with a four-figure sum of cash.
He was wearing a dark jacket with the hood up and a balaclava.
Police said an operation at the scene on Wednesday, which saw them question people one week on, was "worthwhile".
Officers stopped pedestrians and drivers and showed them CCTV images of a man they want to speak to.
Det Sgt Stuart Gillies said: "Yesterday's revisit to the scene was definitely worthwhile and we spoke to members of the public in the surrounding area in an attempt to gather more information about this incident.
"Our inquiries are at an early stage and I would continue to appeal to anyone who knows who is responsible to come forward.
"Somebody knows who committed this crime and we understand that RBS are offering a significant financial reward for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible."
The fire started in the vehicle parked on the driveway and spread to the house in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, at about 05:00 GMT on 5 December.
Carly Chambers, 25, said she was terrified for her children's safety as there was "explosion after explosion".
The fire service is investigating, but police are treating it as suspicious.
Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire
Ms Chambers was asleep in the house with her two-year-old son and daughter, six, when she was woken by her stepfather "screaming 'fire, fire, get the kids, get out of the house'".
"The children were scared, there was explosion after explosion, it was really frightening, they wouldn't stop crying," she said.
"We got to the bottom of the stairs the door exploded at us - we got covered in glass - we just had to run."
Ms Chambers believes it was a deliberate attack, but has "no idea who would want to do this, especially to a house where young children are".
"My two innocent children's lives could have been taken by some stupid act," she said.
Ms Chambers added that she "still feels distraught", but was thankful for the help and support from the community.
Leicestershire Police said: "The fire is being treated as suspicious.
"Due to the high winds the flames caused some damage to a van and the front door of the property."
Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any information about the fire to contact them.
The New Zealander, who played for the Junior All Blacks, is a former World Rugby Under-19 player of the year.
Edinburgh head coach Richard Cockerill said Fruean is "renowned for his power and is a big attacking threat".
And 28-year-old Fruean added: "The vision the coaching staff have for the club's future success is something I'm excited about."
The centre made 66 appearances for Super Rugby's most successful side, Crusaders, over two spells and also made appearances for New Zealand Super Rugby franchises Hurricanes and Chiefs.
His move to Bath followed a two-year stint at Hawke's Bay.
Head coach Warren Gatland questioned his players' pride after they lost the physical battle in last Saturday's 30-15 defeat by the All Blacks.
O'Brien says there can be no excuses in Wellington as the Lions look to salvage the three-Test series.
"It's attitude - we sat off and gave them too much respect," O'Brien said.
"They won [the physical] side of the game, there's no point in saying anything different, so that was obviously a big area for us where we let ourselves down.
"We drew a line in the sand during the week and spoke about the way we'd do things this week. It's about actions now."
Irishman O'Brien has been joined in the forwards by Maro Itoje and captain Sam Warburton as Gatland beefs up his pack before Saturday's match at the Westpac Stadium.
New Zealand have made two changes for the second Test - both in the backs - with Waisake Naholo coming in on the wing and Anton Lienert-Brown at outside centre.
They replace injured pair Ben Smith (concussion) and Ryan Crotty (hamstring).

Lions tour captain Warburton says there has been some wounded pride in their camp this week.
"You play rugby because you enjoy the physical side of the sport - that is definitely the case for me," the Welshman said.
"When you come off second best there, it does hurt you as a player.
"Sometimes you lose games from a bounce of a ball or a controversial decision but when you have been beaten pretty well from a physical side of things - and we were - that is disappointing from a playing perspective."
Warburton has called for a much-improved defensive effort from the Lions if they are to level the series.
"Our first three-phase mentality has to be better, it has to be aggressive," Warburton added.
"You can pick eight sevens [openside flankers] if you want, but if you don't win collisions, it's hard to slow ball down.
"It is a collision sport. Ninety-nine times out of 100, if you win most of the collisions, you'll win the game."
CCTV footage showed a man on a motorcycle approach schoolteacher Karuna, 22, who died in the attack.
He is seen stabbing her repeatedly as people walk by, before hitting her on the head with a stone and kicking her.
Locals did eventually intervene when he tried to escape. Police say they have charged the suspect with murder.
During the attack, at least one man does try to approach the assailant but backs off after being threatened and is seen leaving the scene. Many others stop to see what is happening but fail to help.
"She was attacked as she was walking with her cousin at around 9am. It seems that the assailant started liking her when they used to be neighbours earlier, but since he was married, she never paid attention," senior police official Esha Pandey told the BBC.
India outrage after gang rape victim assaulted again 'by same men'
The rapes that India forgot
How India treats its women
Local media had quoted the victim's brother as saying the assailant had a history of harassing his sister, and the family had filed a police complaint against him.
Earlier deputy commissioner of police, Madhur Verma, told reporters that "the family had lodged a complaint four-five months back and both the families had reached a compromise".
Images of the murder and the fact that many passers-by did not stop to help the victim have caused outrage.
The stabbing in Burari is the second instance of a woman being fatally attacked by an alleged stalker in the Indian capital in two days.
On Sunday evening, 28-year-old Laxmi was stabbed to death in front of her house in full view of her neighbours by a man who then killed himself, the Times of India newspaper reported .
Her family told reporters that she had previously filed a police complaint against him for stalking.
Scrutiny of violence against women in India has grown since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus, and has led to the formulation of tougher laws aimed at dealing with such attacks.
However, brutal attacks against women and children continue to be reported from across the country.
The union's annual Violence at Work Survey 2016 showed a rise of 20,000 to 40,000 violent assaults against public service and local authority workers.
The figures covered the period between 2006 and 2016.
Violent incidents within local authorities rose from 13,206 to 17,605 this year.
Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Stirling reported significant increases.
Unison said the increase could not be explained by better awareness and reporting, and said violence against workers must be addressed by employers and the Scottish government.
Nurses experience four times the national average risk of assault while the figure for care workers is twice the national average.
School assistants are also said to be suffering from high level assaults, mostly against females.
It was also found that 83% of workers surveyed from the voluntary sector said their employer regarded violence as part of the job.
Scott Donohue, chairman of Unison's health and safety committee, said: "Violence against public service workers has increased, with significant increases against local authority workers.
"We cannot ignore a doubling of the figures over 10 years.
"It is also reasonable to make the correlation between the swingeing cuts to councils and increase in violence to council workers."
He added: "Staff tell us if you have to wait longer, or the service you need is no longer available, or a support worker has less time to spent with a client, it's being taken out on those working face to face with the public.
"At very least, councils should fully implement the Scottish Centre for Healthy Working Lives guidelines 2010, in order that we can make the level of violent assaults fall across Scotland."
Rosie Marie Gill found the 44-year-old hanging at their home in Greenfield, Oldham, in November 2016 as she came back from a trip with their children.
She told the inquest in Heywood he had no history of depression, but his hearing had been deteriorating.
North Manchester Senior Coroner Joanne Kearsley recorded an open conclusion.
She said she was sorry she could not give his family an explanation about what had happened, but that while it was clear he had taken his own life, she could not be certain he had intended to kill himself.
She added Gill had been "one of the most influential and inspirational musicians of his generation" and "thought so highly of by everybody".
Mrs Gill told the inquest her family went to see a children's TV show recorded at Salford's MediaCityUK on 18 November, but on arrival, Gill decided not to go in.
She discovered him hanging at their home later, when she and the children returned.
Det Insp Ian Harratt said there had been no suicide note and nothing to suggest his death was "premeditated or preplanned".
"It appears to me that this is something that was completely out of the blue," he said.
Recording her conclusion, Ms Kearsley said Gill, who was a founding member of the Greater Manchester band and played with them through their heyday in the 1990s, had been "very family-orientated", a "pillar of the community" and "funny, loyal and caring".
Speaking after the hearing, Mrs Gill said her husband had suffered from "debilitating tinnitus" for 20 years, which had been caused by him "not protecting his hearing" while working as a "successful musician" and DJ.
She said it had led to "both sleep deprivation and anxiety" and "had become so unbearable [as] he felt there was no cure".
"Instead of reaching out, Craig made the saddest and most tragic of choices."
Inspiral Carpets keyboard player Clint Boon said Gill would be remembered "for his great sense of humour, passion for music, incredible skills as a musician and devotion to his family", while the band's former lead singer Tom Hingley said he had been an "immense talent" and a "prodigious musical influence".
"We'll miss him with every beat of our hearts," he added.
Labour and the Liberal Democrats pledged themselves to the 20,000 figure in May's assembly election.
It was also in the deal bringing Lib Dem Education Secretary Kirsty Williams into an otherwise Labour Welsh cabinet.
Mr Sargeant's announcement brings ministers' total spending on social housing grants to £98m in 2016-17.
"Alongside the well-documented health and education benefits that good quality housing provides for children and families, building homes of all tenures has a significant positive impact on the Welsh economy and on our communities," he added.
Mr Sargeant signed a pact with the Welsh Local Government Association and Community Housing Cymru committing them to working together to provide the new homes.
Stuart Ropke, chief executive of Community Housing Cymru, said it was an "ambitious" target but also "an important step forward".
"We've only been delivering half the number of homes in Wales that we need," he told BBC Wales.
"We're getting much nearer to that target with the 20,000.
"It's stretching - that's why it's important to have local government on board.
"But it's definitely achievable."
Experts are expected to visit the site in the next few days to examine the sea mammal to see if they can establish why it died.
Former City trader Tom Hayes, 35, of Fleet in Hampshire, has been accused of acting in a "thoroughly dishonest and manipulative manner" in his alleged attempts to rig the Libor rates, the court heard.
The former UBS and Citigroup trader denies eight counts of conspiracy to defraud over the period 2006-2010.
Mr Hayes was arrested in June 2013.
Libor - the London Interbank Offered Rate - is an interest rate used by banks around the world to set the price of financial products worth billions of pounds.
Mukul Chawla QC, acting for the prosecution, said: "This case is about the dishonest rigging of bank rates for profit.
"The motive was a simple one: it was greed," said Mr Chawla, who described Mr Hayes as "the ringmaster at the very centre, telling others around him what to do and in a number of cases rewarding them for their dishonest assistance".
Jurors at Southwark Crown Court heard that Mr Hayes told investigators: "The point is, you are greedy, you want every little bit of money you can possibly get... that's how you are judged, that's your performance metric."
It was this greed that led to "dishonesty on an enormous scale", said Mr Chawla.
The prosecution accused Mr Hayes of enlisting "the help of a large number of people across a large number of different financial organisations to help him", Mr Chawla added.
"He tried to rig, and in many cases succeeded in rigging, the rates at other banks," Mr Chawla said.
He achieved this by approaching people at other banks directly or through brokers acting as middlemen, he said.
Mr Chawla said Mr Hayes had "admitted his guilt, setting out precisely what he had done with whom" and offering to give evidence about a "large number of other people".
The court was played a clip where Mr Hayes said he was part of a system in which influencing Libor was "commonplace", although he admitted he was a "serial offender".
The court also heard that Mr Hayes had been diagnosed with mild Asperger's syndrome.
It was also told there had "undoubtedly been some manipulation of Libor at UBS before Mr Hayes's own dishonest activity".
After Mr Hayes felt that "UBS were not paying him enough", he joined Citi in 2009. He was sacked after his methods were formally reported to senior managers and he returned to the UK.
Mr Hayes is accused of lying about the rates that his bank was borrowing money at, thus affecting the calculation of the Libor rate.
The trial is set to last between 10 and 12 weeks.
The way Libor is calculated has now been changed in the wake of the rate-rigging scandal.
The app is being released ahead of the Euro 2016 football tournament, which starts on Friday.
It will alert geo-located users "in case of a suspected attack", the interior ministry said in a statement (in French).
The government said the app was developed after November's attacks in Paris. which killed 130 people.
On Tuesday, the British Foreign Office warned that stadiums, fan zones and transport hubs were possible targets for attack during the football tournament.
Users will be able to sign up to receive alerts in up to eight different "geographical zones" in addition to their present location.
Alerts will offer a brief description of what has happened as well as advice on how to stay safe.
They will not cause the phone to vibrate or emit any sound in order to ensure that anyone hiding at the site of an attack does not alert the attackers, Metro News reported.
The government has stressed that users' privacy will be protected.
Later versions of the app will also alert users to other types of emergencies beyond attacks, including floods and industrial accidents, officials said.
It is available to download for phones running both iOS and Android operating systems.
A £2bn proposal, which includes a 1.8-mile (2.9km) tunnel, was announced by the government in December, aimed at easing congestion on the nearby A303.
Dan Snow, Ruth Scurr and Tom Holland have now united with Stonehenge Alliance to oppose the plans, which they say "endanger" the ancient site.
But, the Department for Transport (DfT) said safeguarding it was essential.
"Stonehenge is one of Britain's greatest treasures and it is important to note that English Heritage and National Trust support our plans," said a DfT spokesman.
"It is essential that we ensure this site of cultural and historical significance is safeguarded as we progress with the upgrade.
"As with any road scheme, we will consult with interested parties before any building begins on the A303."
A similar scheme for the route, which links London and the South West, was dropped several years ago because of the cost.
However, there are growing concerns over congestion on the A303 which has been described as "highly detrimental" by English Heritage, which manages the monument.
But Stonehenge Alliance campaigners want "no further damage" to the world heritage site, which totals around 25 sq km (9.6 sq m) of chalkland, according to UNESCO.
Joining with them, Mr Snow - president of the Council for British Archaeology - said: "Of all our many treasures on these islands, none is more internationally revered than Stonehenge.
"We have recently started to realise that the standing stones are just a beginning, they sit at the heart of the world's most significant and best preserved Stone Age landscape. The government's plans endanger this unique site."
Ms Scurr added the proposal to widen the A303 would have a "destructive effect on the surroundings", with Mr Holland suggesting the battle against the plans was "an unending one".
Both English Heritage and the National Trust have given their support to the option of "the longest tunnel possible".
The director of the National Trust, Dame Helen Ghosh, and chief executive of English Heritage, Dr Simon Thurley, said no decisions had been made yet on possible locations, road alignment or design.
Her departure was announced at the end of the trust's AGM by chairman Angela Ballatti, who thanked her for her "exceptional leadership".
In a statement, Ms Boswell said it was the "right time" after 14 years as an NHS chief executive to retire.
Andrew MacCallum, who had been Ms Boswell's deputy, will step in as acting chief executive.
Ms Boswell took over as interim chief executive of the RCHT from Peter Colclough in September 2011.
She previously worked for the strategic health authority NHS South West on preparing trusts for foundation applications.
Ms Ballatti said the RCHT would begin the formal appointment process for a new permanent chief executive "who can help us continue on our journey to become an outstanding NHS Trust" in due course.
The announcement came at the same meeting where the trust said its revenue budget was £1.83m in the red, £3.15m off target.
It blamed "underachievement of savings" and higher than planned costs of delivering non-elective surgeries, such as those for emergencies.
Richard Glossip looked certain to die by injection in Oklahoma on Wednesday afternoon after the US Supreme Court rejected his appeal.
But Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin has asked for more time to check if the drugs are compliant with state rules.

His archbishop had written to her and urged her to act to commute the sentence, but she said she did not have the authority to do so.
An hour after Glossip was due to be put to death, Ms Fallin announced that she was rescheduling the execution for 6 November.
She said prison officials had received potassium acetate for use in the execution, as one of the three drugs used, but state guidelines only list potassium chloride.
Department of Corrections Director Robert Patton said he requested the stay of execution "out of due diligence".
Glossip's boss Barry Van Treese, the owner of the Oklahoma City motel, was beaten to death in 1997.
His colleague Justin Sneed was convicted of the killing but said Glossip had ordered him to carry it out.
Glossip and his family have maintained his innocence for nearly 20 years, saying that Sneed acted alone.
He was first convicted in 1998 but that was overturned in 2001, only for Glossip to be convicted again three years later.
In the most recent appeals, his lawyers said they had an affidavit from another inmate who said Sneed admitted to setting Glossip up.
British billionaire Richard Branson took out a full-page ad in The Oklahoman newspaper on Wednesday that argued Glossip is innocent.
Executions have been delayed recently in the US amid problems buying drugs as many firms have refused to sell them.

The hosts led 23-0 after a dominant first-half display, with Henry Purdy, Ross Moriarty and Steve McColl all crossing and Billy Burns kicking a conversion and two penalties.
Zebre were later awarded a penalty try which Edoardo Padovani converted.
Padovani also slotted a penalty for the Italian side while Gloucester failed to earn a four-try bonus point win.
Purdy went over in the corner, Moriarty bundled over and McColl outpaced the Zebre defence to score three unanswered first-half tries.
Gloucester lost Lewis Ludlow to the sin bin early in the second half and Zebre were awarded a penalty try as they reduced the deficit.
Henry Trinder made his comeback from injury but he failed to help his side earn the extra point a fourth try would have sealed, with a Padovani penalty completing the second-half scoring.
Gloucester head coach David Humphreys told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:
"We got a win in difficult conditions and I was very pleased with the performance of some of the players who came in.

"What makes the second half even more disappointing was that the first half was so good.
"We just never really got going, error after error, penalty after penalty, and once than happens sometimes it's hard to change the momentum in a game.
"We have got to develop a squad that has 30 players ready to come in and play, make a change here, rest a player here, and the performance doesn't suffer."

The minister was requested to appear again at the committee after it had heard claims in January that she had been briefed on safety concerns as far back as 2012.
Ms Ní Chuilín took an oath before addressing the committee on Thursday where she was then asked to proceed with her opening statement.
The minister was appearing before Stormont's culture, arts and leisure committee on Thursday morning.
She began by saying no other witness had been asked to give evidence under oath to the inquiry and expressed concern at what she described as an alteration in procedure "at this late stage".
She also questioned the committee's fairness. Ms Ní Chuilín spoke for more than 80 minutes, reading from a prepared text, outlining the chronology of events surrounding the planning and design for Casement.
She then said she would allow the committee to make its own mind up on whether it would recall all witnesses to be questioned under oath rather than singling out individuals.
She said she would be happy to take questions in the future only after the committee had reached a decision.
She said only then would she return to the committee and looked forward to hearing from it.
Ms Ní Chuilín then got up to leave and was asked by the committee chairman, Nelson McCausland, if she was not taking questions.
She asked if he wanted her to read the statement out again.
Mr McCausland then asked: "Minister could you please sit down and answer questions?"
She said she had made her position clear and that she was not going back to answer questions until the position was clarified.
The committee adjourned, resuming just over 10 minutes later.
When it resumed Sinn Féin's Cathal Ó hOisín reported comments to the chair that he said had been made from the public gallery as the previous session had closed.
Mr McCausland said in response that he "did not hear it".
William Humphrey of the DUP said it was unprecedented that the minister had left without answering questions and said it was "the latest in a string of discourtesies extended to this committee by the minister and the department".
The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) wants to build a new stadium on its existing grounds at Casement Park, west Belfast, but the multi-million pound project has been beset with problems and delays. Its planning permission was overturned last year.
The culture, arts and leisure committee is conducting an inquiry into whether "appropriate consideration was given to plans for emergency exiting during the design process".
It will include mid-morning flights on weekdays, early morning flights on a Saturday and a Sunday afternoon service.
Edinburgh Airport described the new service as "great news" for business and leisure passengers.
It added that the airline and airport "shared a commitment to improving UK connectivity".
The Millers are bottom of the Championship having only won one game this season.
"It's such an obvious handball. It's not acceptable he can miss that," Stubbs told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"He's a former Premiership referee who should be getting basic decisions right."
Stubbs added: "I hope the assessor wasn't assessing him tonight. I thought there was a real lack of communication between referee and linesman.
"You had the linesman pointing for a corner, then suddenly raising his arm for a goal-kick.
"They were pausing for four or five seconds before making a decision. I thought they were pretty average."
Rotherham equalised in the 34th minute through Danny Ward's volley after trailing early in the game, but Huddersfield's Nahki Wells scored just four minutes later to take the Terriers back to the top of the Championship.
"It was by far our better performance away from home but we've come away with nothing," Stubbs continued.
"We have to do better. I'll keep beating the drum until they get it right. We're not good enough to give teams a start.
"I keep telling them you have to believe yourselves, without belief there's no point in turning up."
The midfielder, 32, was taken off on a stretcher in the 76th minute of the 2-1 loss at the Emirates Stadium.
"It doesn't look like a quick one. He is waiting to see the specialist today [Thursday] so we should know more after that," Dyche said.
Marney has made 21 appearances this season, and scored one goal.
The former Tottenham and Hull player also suffered cruciate knee ligament damage in February 2015.
The White Tigers suffered another postponement on Tuesday as their game with Weston-super-Mare was called off.
"That's the whole reason I asked the chairman about a month ago to get a couple more players in," Tully said.
"I believe I've got the players who can play two or three games a week, they're fit lads and we also have cover in depth which is what we needed."
Truro are currently one place outside of the National League South play-off spots on goal difference, but have at least one game in hand, and in some cases four matches, on the teams above them.
"They're all good players and they all want to be in the starting 11," Tully added to BBC Radio Cornwall.
"The more numbers you have, as long as you've got quality in those numbers, then you shouldn't be afraid.
"I'm not afraid to swap and change players in and out and I know that I have a starting 11 on Saturday and I'm quite happy to change five or six for Tuesday and still be as strong as we were."

Brian Coleman, a Barnet councillor, admitted a charge of common assault by beating at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court.
The 51-year-old was arrested in September after assaulting cafe owner Helen Michael in Finchley High Road.
His lawyer said he had been trying to stop her filming him on a mobile phone as he parked in a loading bay.
Coleman, of Essex Park in Finchley, was ordered to pay £1,385, including a £270 fine, prosecution costs of £850 and £250 to the victim as compensation.
Ms Michael, 50, a mother-of-two, who suffered injuries including scratches to her wrist and soreness to her shoulder and chest, called on Coleman to resign.
She said: "[I was] looking at my phone and all of a sudden he's upon me, it was pure shock.
"I think he's bullied and intimidated people for a long long time and I think he has now got what has been long overdue."
A charge of driving without reasonable consideration was dropped after the prosecution offered no evidence for it.
The court heard Coleman had helped bring in parking charges in the area which were "extremely unpopular" with local residents and businesses.
Ms Michael, a parking campaigner, filmed him after she was informed he had parked in a loading bay and was withdrawing money from a cash machine, the court heard.
The incident was caught on CCTV and the footage shown in the court.
Sentencing Coleman, District Judge Deborah Wright said the "well-known politician" was a man of "previous good character" who had made significant contributions to society.
"I have no doubt that his motives were to avoid the embarrassment of the publicity," she said.
A struggle ensued and there can be "no doubt that struggle was instigated by Mr Coleman", the judge added.
Prosecution lawyer Manjit Mahal said: "He was applying one rule for himself and another for the traders."
But Neville Rudston, defending, said the incident had to be viewed in the context of a campaign "with uncomfortable and personal elements" which the councillor had faced.
Coleman decided to change his plea to guilty after he found it "difficult" to look at footage of the assault, the lawyer added.
After he was charged in October, Coleman was suspended by his party and stripped of his council committee duties.
He was mayor of Barnet between 2009-10 and chair of the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority.
The actress was widely rumoured to be leaving her role as Clara Oswald after a cliffhanger in the series eight finale, Death In Heaven.
Moffat confirmed to Doctor Who magazine she had asked to be written out.
"That was her last episode," he said. "Then she asked me if she could be in [the] Christmas [episode]. So I said, 'OK, I'll write you out in Christmas.'"
"She came to the read through and did the 'write out' version - and again changed her mind."
"But the truth is I never wanted her to go. And with Last Christmas, I'd already written the alternative version where she stayed, and I preferred that version.
"Frankly, I didn't want to lose her. She's an amazing actress, and she never stops working to make Clara better.
"I was very happy to go the extra mile to make sure we could keep her."
Coleman, who began her career in ITV soap Emmerdale, will now return for a third series as the Doctor's companion.
It makes her the longest-serving assistant of the show's modern era, ahead of Karen Gillan and Billie Piper.
Confirming she would return to the show last December, the 28-year-old, from Blackpool, said: "I couldn't walk away with the story being unresolved.
"The arrival of the 12th Doctor has just kind of dropped this whole bombshell and allowed the dynamic to totally change, so I think just when Clara was feeling more comfortable in the relationship, it has suddenly thrown something new up."
Peter Capaldi, who plays the titular Time Lord said: "I'm thrilled. Jenna has just been fantastic and such a pleasure to work with."
The show is due to return to the BBC this autumn.
Steven Beards, 34, had already been convicted of the rape and murder of Susan Whiting, 20, who was drugged, raped and killed in August, Leicester Crown Court heard.
He was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 33 years. His wife Julie Beards, 36, who also has learning difficulties, had denied murder and was convicted of manslaughter.
Miss Whiting's body was found wrapped in a shower curtain under a bed in the Beards' home in Walsall.
Steven Beards, whom the judge described as "a sexually motivated violent killer", denied the charges.
Julie Beards will be sentenced at a later date.
Miss Whiting went to stay the night with the Beards on 16 August, which she had done before. She had become friends with Julie Beards through a local adult community centre.
The following day she was reported missing to the police.
The couple from Bloxwich in Walsall told the student's mother she had left their home safe and well, but the next day police found her body wrapped in a shower curtain under a bed in their house.
Miss Whiting was raped after her food had been laced with a 'sedating hypnotic drug' Zoplicone, and died of a fractured skull when she had been struck on the head at least three times, a post-mortem examination found.
Steven Beards, who has also been convicted of rape, told the court he had "no idea" how evidence of his sperm had been found on Miss Whiting.
He claimed he was planning on being a sperm donor so had kept a sperm sample in his bathroom.

Susan Whiting placed her trust in two people she thought were her friends.
Susan had stayed with the Beards before and her family trusted them - that trust was totally broken, totally abused.
Julie accused her husband of extreme violence towards her in the past, and even rape - which he denied.
But the police believed she too was to blame for drugging vulnerable Susan and helping to conceal her body.
Steven's head was bowing down in the dock as the judge passed a sentence. He will be spending at least 33 years behind bars.
Det Supt Mark Payne said: "Susan Whiting was a vulnerable young woman who lost her life at the hands of this pair, who betrayed her trust.
"The two have never given a reason why Susan was killed, but we believe the attack was pre-planned and sexually motivated."
Steven Beards initially told police he had not stayed at the house that night and claimed to return home the following morning.
Julie Beards said she was in the bathroom and accused her husband of being a murderer.
Miss Whiting's mother, Maureen, paid tribute to her daughter saying: "She was just 20 years old, an easy-going, loving young lady, enjoying her life. I know she was loved and will be missed by so many people".
Julie Beards lived in a specially adapted bungalow run by the charity Brighter Futures which released a statement: "Our thoughts and sympathy go out to the family of Susan Whiting.
"This has been a very difficult and distressing time for everybody involved in the case. Brighter Futures has been working hard to support our customers and staff as they deal with what has happened."
The museum closed on 27 December after parts were submerged by flood water from the River Foss.
It is set to reopen on 8 April with an improved visitor ride through a new recreation of a Viking city.
Along with experiencing authentic sights, sounds and smells, visitors will be able to listen to the voices of Vikings in different languages.
The refitted centre is said to show a more multi-cultural side of 10th Century York, following new scientific research.
It will tell the story of people who came to the city from the Middle East, Russia, the Mediterranean, and Ireland.
A £1.5m fundraising campaign for the attraction, owned by the York Archaeological Trust, has so far reached £750,000.
Ms Maltby, director of attractions at the museum, said people on the ride would hear more diverse languages from the inhabitants of the city, represented by animatronic models being built by an American firm.
"People came to Jorvik from all over and you would have heard many different languages in the street", she said.
"Archaeological science has moved on so far we can now tell where a person was from, or grew up, from testing his or her skeleton", she said.
People came to Jorvik to trade, settle and some even arrived as slaves, she added.

The Mail on Sunday says a report by Attorney General Lord Goldsmith in 2003 said the conflict could be challenged under international law.
It claims PM Mr Blair was horrified and those who had a copy were told to "burn it, destroy it."
Any idea of destroying such a report was absurd, Mr Blair's office said.
The newspaper alleges the "burn it" order was issued after a 13-page legal opinion was presented by Lord Goldsmith to Mr Blair less than three weeks before the outbreak of war.
The Mail quotes a senior No 10 figure at the time as saying: "There was pandemonium. The date when war was expected to start was already in the diary, and here was Goldsmith saying it could be challenged under international law. They said 'burn it, destroy it' and got to work on the AG."
The paper reports that among those who were told to destroy their copy was the Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon, who it says flatly ignored the order. It says Mr Hoon told it that he would not comment on the allegations while the Chilcot inquiry into the war was still under way.
"This is nonsense as far as Tony Blair knows," his spokesman said of the Mail's allegations.
"No one ever said that in his presence and in any event it would be quite absurd to think that anyone could destroy any such document.
"Mr Blair and Lord Goldsmith dealt with all the circumstances surrounding the advice at the (Iraq) Inquiry at length and with all the documents. The fact is the advice given was that the action was legal and it was given for perfectly good reasons."
While giving evidence at the Iraq Inquiry in January 2010 Lord Goldsmith admitted he changed his legal view of the Iraq war but said it was "complete nonsense" to claim he did so because of political pressure.
He said that until a month before the 2003 invasion, he believed it was "safer" to get a fresh UN resolution but gave the "green light" after deciding force was justified.
Last week Mr Blair apologised for mistakes made over the Iraq War - and said there were "elements of truth" in claims that it caused the rise of Islamic State.
He said "those of us who removed Saddam" did bear some responsibility for the situation in Iraq today.
Sir John Chilcot's inquiry, which began in 2009, is due to published its report in June or July next year.
Dr Michael Grey, who is trialling the technology, said the £500 Oculus Rift system can quickly help medics detect "subtle changes" in players.
Trials of the technology follow several studies linking heading of footballs to degenerative brain disease.
The FA said it took the issue "extremely seriously".
Dr Grey, who has worked on the trial at the University of Birmingham and the University of East Anglia, said virtual reality technology helps to establish whether a player is concussed by testing their ability to balance at the same time as following instructions.
It would come into use when club doctors are forced to make decisions on the sidelines as to whether players should continue to play, he said.
'250 more' footballers with degenerative brain disease
"With our virtual reality balance test we're having the brain do one thing and then challenge it by tilting the room and it's only by doing this we see subtle changes that might not show up in a standard neurocognitive test."
"You will have players who say: 'No I'm fine, I want to go on'. But you do this test - or one like it - I think those questions go away," he added.
BBC reporter Laura May McMullan took the technology to West Bromwich Albion Football Club.
Baggies legend Jeff Astle died 15 years ago. A coroner ruled his death was caused by brain trauma, brought on by heading heavy leather footballs.
His family has campaigned to football authorities for more research into the link between football and dementia.
The club's director of performance, Dr Mark Gillett, said: "I think we're looking for functional tests that allow us to make a quick decision and technology such as that could potentially be very helpful."
At present, players have a baseline test - a clinical, physical and cognitive test at the start of the season.
Machinery is used, but it is far from state-of-the-art.
Currently, a pitch-side doctor is forced to make a decision on whether a player is concussed using more basic methods.
Virtual reality would work alongside the clinical tests to give the medics concrete neurological responses.
The daughter of a former professional footballer who died from brain trauma has walked out of a meeting with a top official in the game.
Dawn Astle was meeting Gordon Taylor, chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), who she believes has a duty of care towards former players. But frustrated with his response, she leaves the room.
Her father Jeff Astle died in 2002 at the age of 59. A coroner ruled his brain trauma was caused by heading footballs.
The Astle family has campaigned for more research into the link between football and dementia.
Former Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion striker Andy Gray has backed the technology.
He tells the programme: "What football has no excuse about is embracing modern technology. It has no excuse. It can't say we don't have the money, it's awash with money.
"Paying millions and millions of pounds to footballers and then worrying very little about their health."
The FA's head of medicine, Dr Charlotte Cowie, said it established an expert panel in 2015 which issued new guidelines on concussion.
"These guidelines were designed to help recognise and manage concussion - from the time of injury through to a player's safe return to football," she said.
"The expert panel further agreed that research is particularly required into the issue of whether degenerative brain disease is more common in ex-footballers."
"We have recently agreed with the PFA to jointly fund and support this research as we believe that a collaborative approach will strengthen the credibility and resource available to the project."

Bill Watkin, operational director of the school support and training body SSAT, said many heads felt the EBacc was not appropriate for all youngsters.
It comes as Education Secretary Nicky Morgan confirmed pupils would have to study the EBacc from September.
She said the move would ensure pupils received a rigorous academic education.
From September, all pupils starting secondary school will have to study English, a language, maths, science and history or geography at GCSE, in the EBacc.
Those schools that do not have 100% of pupils studying this set of subjects as part of their GCSE courses will not be able to obtain Ofsted's top rating of "outstanding".
The government said the wraparound qualification had been introduced to ensure pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds were not deterred from studying academic subjects.
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "As part of our commitment to delivering real social justice, we are determined to ensure that every child who is able studies the core academic subjects that will set them up for later life and help them reach their potential.
"We will work with the sector to make sure there are enough teachers with the right skills and knowledge to allow pupils to study EBacc subjects at GCSE.
"Teaching remains a popular career and we provide bursaries for those training to teach many of the EBacc subjects."
The proportion of pupils entered into the EBacc has almost doubled in recent years, rising from 22% in 2010 to 39% in 2014.
But Mr Watkin said: "The risk is that pupils who can't access some of these subjects will become disaffected and disenfranchised.
"It may cause some pupils to do less well in their exams."
He said a recent snapshot survey of members had been inundated with school leaders saying they would rather lose their top rating than adopt a one-size-fits-all approach.
Mr Watkin said there were also serious consequences for school staffing, with dramatic changes needed in about half of schools.
The likelihood was that the arts, technology, physical education and religious studies would be lost to accommodate compulsory history and geography, he said.
His views were echoed by Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, who said: "We do believe in a broad academic grounding for everybody, but I believe the EBacc is too rigid.
"There are some schools that are very concerned that this rigidity will not meet the needs of their students.
"Therefore, they will offer a broad academic grounding, but they will not offer these specific subjects, even if that means they would lose their outstanding grading."
NUT general secretary Christine Blower said: "A bad idea has suddenly become much worse. Parents, like teachers, want a broad and balanced curriculum for their children.
"It is the responsibility of government to translate that aspiration into a curriculum that reflects the many demands that are made on the school, and that can involve and engage all learners."
An Icelandic court found him guilty of market manipulation in the lead up to the 2008 financial crisis.
"This sentence is a big surprise to me as I did not nothing wrong," Sigurjon Arnason told Reuters.
The former chief executives of Iceland's two other big banks, Glitnir and Kaupthing, have already received jail sentences.
The three banks imploded in 2008 after acquiring assets worth approximately 10 times the size of Iceland's economy.
A Reykjavik court said that nine months of Mr Arnason's sentence would be suspended.
Two of his colleagues - Ivar Gudjonsson, a former director of proprietary trading, and Julius Heidarsson, a banker - were also convicted and sentenced to nine months in prison, of which six months would be suspended.
Unlike other Western countries, Iceland has pursued prison sentences for the chief executives and others who were involved in the 2008 financial crisis.
Hreidar Mar Sigurdsson, the former chief executive of Kaupthing - formerly Iceland's largest bank - received a jail sentence of five and a half years - the heaviest sentence for financial fraud in Iceland's history.
The country's former prime minister, Geir Haarde, was also found guilty of negligence leading up to the crisis but was not given a jail term.
Judges said the order should be enforced within 10 days and audiences must stand when the anthem is played.
In the 1960s and 1970s, cinemas regularly played the anthem but the practice declined. Opinion on the court move is divided on social media.
There is no uniform law in India regarding the anthem and the 29 states have had their own laws on the issue.
According to the new ruling, the anthem must be played in all cinemas, accompanied by an image of the Indian flag.
"The people should stop following individual notions of freedom and have a sense of committed patriotism," Indian media reports quoted judges as saying.
The hashtag #NationalAnthem was one of the top trends on Twitter India on Wednesday afternoon.
Shyam Narayan Chouksey, a 77-year-old resident of Bhopal, had petitioned the court asking for the national anthem order.
"Over the years I've been seeing that the proper respect for the national anthem is not being paid by the common people as well as the constitutional functionaries," he told the BBC Asian Network.
Shaina NC, spokesperson for the ruling BJP party, called the court ruling a "fantastic" move.
The BBC India Facebook page asked its followers for their opinion.
"Why are we moving backwards[?]" asked Krushik AV. "Patriotism is something through education..."
Another follower, Sachin Sudheer, disagreed saying it was a "wonderful feeling to stand up with everyone".
Although there is no specific law that mandates standing for the anthem in India, the home ministry's rules, which carry the force of law, specify that it is compulsory to stand to attention when the anthem is played.
And cinemas that play the anthem often display messages asking audiences to stand up.
There is some concern that people could be targeted for not "respecting" the national song:
There's also another "banned" BBC programme on the digital shelf, the 1976 Dennis Potter drama Brimstone and Treacle which was withdrawn from transmission after the director general at the time, Alasdair Milne described it as 'brilliantly made' but "nauseating".
The launch of BBC Store is a sign that as the years go by programmes can go from being impossible to show to being a way of generating a little extra revenue. So - beyond the familiar classic series over the BBC's history what programmes ought to be picked out from the archive?
Here's a collection of a few programmes that were in their time on the BBC's "do not show under any circumstance" list and a few that will probably never appear on the store.
A documentary about Harold Wilson and the Labour Cabinet after losing the 1970 election. The mocking tone and the questions about money making from Wilson's memoirs so enraged the former Prime Minister that it wasn't shown on the BBC for 42 years. It's now been shown in full on BBC Parliament.
Ray Winstone and Phil Daniels starred in a violent tale about a young offenders institute. The violence, gang rape and racism were too much for the BBC controller Billy Cotton who banned it in 1977. It was finally shown in 1991. The film that followed it and caused a similar level of disquiet was The Firm about football hooligans. It was subjected to a number of cuts before it was shown but still caused a furore. It's now on the BBC store.
At the time it was a jolly jape with Prince Edward and Princess Anne as team captains in a royal celebrity version of "It's a Knockout'.
Toyah, George Lazenby, Su Pollard, John Travolta, John Cleese and Meatloaf all took part in the programme that has never been repeated. The show was anything but regal.
There is also the now very uncomfortable presence of Stuart Hall - the presenter has been convicted for a string of sexual assaults on young girls. Chances of being released from the BBC vault? Low.
The first series was shown in 1965 and never shown again. The witch was considered far too scary for younger viewers.
The request came a day after the Foreign Office called in Argentina's ambassador to the UK when legal action was threatened against oil firms operating near the Falkland Islands.
Argentina has now launched charges against three UK companies.
The islands remain the subject of a sovereignty dispute with the UK.
The Foreign Office has confirmed British Ambassador John Freeman was summoned on Thursday.
It is understood Argentine Deputy Foreign Minister Eduardo Zuain demanded explanations over the "silence of the British government" following allegations made by US whistle-blower Edward Snowden.
Reports, published by online publication The Intercept earlier this month, suggested the UK conducted electronic surveillance on Argentina between 2006 and 2011 over concerns it would launch an attempt to reclaim the Falklands.
The two nations fought a war over the islands, known as the Malvinas in South America, in 1982.
According to an Argentine statement, Mr Zuain also expressed the government's unease at a statement made by the UK Defence Secretary Michael Fallon in the Commons last month.
Mr Fallon had told MPs that two Chinook helicopters and an upgraded surface-to-air missile system will be part of a new defence package.
The British government earlier protested to the Argentine ambassador in London about the legal threats and what it said were recent strong statements against the UK's sovereignty over the Falklands.
Argentina's president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and ambassador Alicia Castro last week launched new criticism of the government's plan to boost defences.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "The UK has no doubt about its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands and surrounding maritime areas, nor about the Falkland Islanders' right to decide their own future.
"We object strongly to recent statements by the Argentine president and the Argentine ambassador to London and so summoned the ambassador to account for these."
In 2013, Falkland Islanders took part in a referendum, voting by 1,513 to three to remain a British overseas territory.
Health Minister Mark Drakeford has urged families to discuss their views on donation, 100 days before Wales adopts a system of presumed consent.
Bethan Lewis of Cardiff-based Brighter Comms welcomed hard-hitting TV adverts as necessary to make people think.
"You're relying on the public to take action at a time when the message may not seem relevant to them," she said.
As well as TV advertising, a roadshow has been touring supermarkets across Wales to raise awareness of the new system, which comes into effect on 1 December.
Known as a "soft opt-out" system, people are invited to register their wish to donate their organs or not, with the assumption that they consent to donation if they do not register a view.
The Welsh government said 39,500 people in Wales have registered their wish to opt out of organ donation from December, while 1,062,000 people were currently registered as donors.
Ms Lewis told the Sunday Supplement programme on BBC Radio Wales: "Research shows that we have to see an advert seven times before it sinks in.
"So it's clear that the advertising campaign needs to continue in the run-up to the change, across as many channels as possible."
Mike Stephens, a consultant transplant surgeon at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, said: "We want to encourage families to have this conversation before they die so that families can be sure of the wishes of their relatives."
He added that families would still be consulted about donation following a death, but said use of the register would make "a sensitive issue easier to discuss".
Brendan McConville, of the Buddy Bear School, said the authority "can't be proud" of its treatment of the school.
Only one of its 18 pupils has their place paid for by the EA.
The authority said it gives "significant consideration to medical advice" when deciding where children with cerebral palsy should be educated.
Cerebral palsy is a condition caused by a problem in the parts of a baby's brain used to control the muscles.
It can lead to symptoms like difficulty in walking or controlling movement, or speech problems.
However, the severity of the condition varies, meaning that children with it can go to either mainstream schools or a range of special schools.
The Buddy Bear School is an independent school which is recognised by the Department of Education and inspected by the Education and Training Inspectorate.
It is the only school in Northern Ireland to offer an approach called conductive education, which aims to teach children greater control over their movements.
As it does not receive funding from the EA through the common funding formula for schools, it has to meet its yearly running costs through fundraising.
Joanne Reid from Banbridge brings her five-year-old son Jack to the school each day.
He has severe cerebral palsy, which affects his speech and movement.
"He's a happy little child, he's so chatty, he loves music and he's got a strong personality," Joanne said.
"We started the 'statementing' process in October 2014, and it's now 2017 and we still haven't got a finalised statement.
"We still don't know what school the education authority is going to place Jack in, but primarily I want Jack placed in the Buddy Bear trust."
In a statement, the EA said it had "a responsibility to ensure that all children with special educational needs have access to appropriate education provision in line with their assessed needs".
It added: "In relation to children with cerebral palsy, the EA gives significant consideration to the medical advice."
It also said that if parents disagreed with the EA's view on the most appropriate school for their child, there was an appeals process in place.
Gary McCann went through that process for four years to get his nine-year-old daughter Katie a paid-for place in Buddy Bear.
"The tribunal lasted probably about four years all in all, from the time they started the statement to the time it was finished," he said.
"It was time-consuming and very hard on the soul trying to keep motivated and fighting on.
"Thankfully we got there and we won our case."
Brendan McConville said that parents like Gary should not be put through a long battle for statements or funding if they want their children to go to Buddy Bear.
"The Education Authority in my opinion has failed children," he said.
"If you have a parent waiting three years for a statement and an another parent going through an appeals process for three to four years, the EA can't be proud of that."
In response, the authority said that it was "committed to ensuring that all children with special educational needs have access to education provision that best meets their individual needs."
The Royal Bank of Scotland Business Monitor shows transport and communications also performing well.
About 400 firms across a range of sectors in the Scottish economy were questioned.
The findings contradict other recent survey evidence suggesting confidence being hit by Brexit uncertainty.
The RBS survey was carried out by the Fraser of Allander Institute at Strathclyde University, and balances those firms with positive results against those reporting negatively.
That way, 36% of firms reported an increase in total volume of business during the last quarter, compared to 25% which reported a fall.
There were similar measures for new business, though firms in north-east Scotland reflected the continuing difficulties of winning business amid the downturn in the oil and gas sector.
The figures were strongest for the central belt and the Highlands and Islands.
Despite the pound weakening, which should make it easier to export, this survey went against the signals seen in other evidence, by reporting a seventh consecutive quarter of weak overseas sales.
Just 12% reported export activity rising, with 26% saying they saw a fall in the last quarter.
Unlike the Purchasing Managers Index, published at the start of this week, it also found manufacturing doing worse than other sectors.
The rise in the legal minimum wage has put up costs across the economy, and particularly in construction, tourism and distribution.
And in capital investment - seen as vital to maintaining growth momentum through next year - the RBS survey found 40% of firms reporting a rise compared to 16% saying there has been a fall. The positive gap between those two is the widest in more than two years.
Stephen Boyle, chief economist with the Royal Bank of Scotland commented: "This Christmas we can raise a festive glass for Scotland's economy that's more than half full.
"Our businesses are ending the year on a positive note, with solid if unspectacular growth. They expect more of the same in the first half of 2017.
"Particularly encouraging is strongly rising capital investment, a sign both of confidence in the future and of businesses' ability to look beyond political uncertainty. If the New Year brings any hangovers they are likely to come from rising cost pressures - brought about by the weaker pound and the National Living Wage - and continued poor export performance."
Prof Graeme Roy, director of the Fraser of Allander Institute, added: "The volume of business activity is at its highest level in over a year with businesses reporting turnover at its highest level in over two years.
"That being said, expectations for turnover and investment are down on the quarter suggesting that the outlook for 2017, whilst improved, remains uncertain."
The plans are for a derelict council-owned site on Madeira Drive.
The council said the pool would provide excellence and broad appeal and was "very different" from Saltdean Lido.
Simon Kirby MP and Saltdean Lido criticised plans for two pools within a 3.9-mile (6.2km) radius. The developers said there could not be too many pools.
Mr Kirby, Brighton Kemptown MP, said: "There is only a certain demand, and I'm not sure having two outdoor pools within three miles of each other is a very sensible way forward."
Rebecca Crook, from the 1930s Saltdean Lido which will open next year following restoration, said: "Two outdoor swimming pools within a four-mile radius is most unusual and certainly will impact on both businesses."
She added: "The bigger point is the lack of joined-up thinking."
Rod Hart, from Swimmergy, one of three companies behind the plans, said the new pool and Saltdean Lido were "entirely different".
He said the 50m pool would be more for training than general swimming, although it was hoped it would attract everyone.
Developers hoped to attract triathletes and swimming squads, teams and coaches from around the world, he added.
The council said the pool would become a hub for swimming and sport-related business, be marketed for triathlons, and provide escorted sea swims, lifeguard training and leisure swimming.
Brighton councillor Geoffrey Bowden, economic development and culture committee chairman, said Saltdean Lido was "a very different facility" with exciting plans and a unique offering.
His committee will decide whether to give landlord's consent for the planned new pool on Thursday, and any planning process will include full consultation, he added.
Firefighters said it looked like the fires at Hopewell Square on Monday night may have been caused by burning embers carried through the air by wind.
Investigations are continuing. Traditional 'eleventh night' bonfires had been lit across Northern Ireland.
The fire service said out of the 123 calls it had received on Monday from 18:00 BST, 42 were bonfire related.
Firefighters had to intervene at 16 of those fires.
A man who lives in one of the houses said his daughter was asleep upstairs in the property when he heard "crackling sounds".
"I heard what sounded like rustling up the stairs," he added. "So I went up into the attic to see what was happening and I saw the smoke."
He said he woke his daughter and then ran next door to help his neighbour.
"The house is destroyed. My bedroom ceiling is bulging like it's about to come in, it's not safe to be in."
Lily Turtle, an elderly woman, and her great-granddaughter lived in the house where the fire started.
A young pregnant woman was among those who lived in another house that was smoke damaged in the blaze.
A woman from Hopewell Square whose house was not damaged in the fire said she had left her home to stay with her sister.
"It was like a volcano erupting," she said. "The sky was red, it was completely red.
"Your life's more important than your possessions.
"I was so angry. When things settled, I thought; 'If my house goes, my possessions, all my kids' and grandkids' stuff, goes with it.'
"It's more upsetting to think that you've worked hard and this happens - it should never have happened.
"It was horrendous - it was like what you see in a movie. The red in the sky, it was horrible."
Alan Walmsley of the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said crews were at the incident in Hopewell Square "very quickly" and that their "hard work" had prevented a row of terraced houses being destroyed.
He said that the fire service did not believe it was caused by radiated heat from the fire but possibly by burning debris.
"We believe there could have been the potential for hot, burning embers being carried by wind landing on the roof and then making their way down and falling into the roof," he added.
Nathan Gray was watching the bonfire at Hopewell Square and described the scene as "crazy".
"It kicked off about one o'clock in the morning, everyone was watching the bonfire, and the next thing a lot of smoke was coming from the roofs beside it," he said.
"The roofs started smouldering and one of them caved in at about five-past-one.
"People were starting to get moved from their houses - a man climbed through his living room window to get out, it was crazy.
"When we left at about a quarter-to-two it looked like the incident was under control.
"Two firemen climbed up the houses and put ladders to the side to get a better angle to get the hoses out to fight the fire."
Bonfires are traditionally lit in many loyalist areas of Northern Ireland on the 'eleventh night' - the eve of the Twelfth of July.
The fires mark William of Orange's victory over King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 and supporters say they are an important part of their culture.
The fire service said it had attended bonfire related incidents in Portadown in County Armagh, Ballyhalbert, Bangor, Banbridge and Rathfriland in County Down, Dungannon in County Tyrone and Coleraine, Londonderry and Limavady in County Londonderry.
Earlier on Monday evening, fire crews moved in to dampen buildings next to a bonfire at Cluan Place in east Belfast.

Environmental concerns have been raised about the burning of tyres at several locations where hundreds have appeared.
The Northern Ireland Environment Agency said it has issued five £300 fines over dumping at bonfires within the past two months.
Kent have abstained in a vote on a change in rules which would allow the competition to take place.
"Our stance reflects the anxiety among non-Test match grounds. Their role as active players in the game's future is at risk," said Kent chief Clifford.
Middlesex and Essex are the only two to say they will vote against the changes.
The proposed changes to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) articles of associations require the support of 31 of 41 voting members, with the new tournament scheduled to start in 2020.
Clifford added: "While Kent Cricket does not wish to be at odds with the ECB, the proposals for the future direction of the game as they stand are such that the club cannot actively endorse them."
However, while he also accepted it was "inevitable that the proposals will receive the support that they need to be enacted", he wants Kent to "act as a 'critical friend' in their further development".
"Part of the evolution must be to ensure that county cricket is at the game's heart long into the future.
"To see first-class counties reduced to bit-part players will not be an acceptable outcome - no matter how high the profile of the new Twenty20 competition."
One of Stephen Thomas Turner's cardiac arteries was operating at only 25% efficiency when he died.
Mr Turner, 62, of Llanrwst, Conwy county, was with his partner at Lake Sutherland, Washington, when he died on 15 July 2016.
At a hearing in Ruthin, coroner Nicola Jones recorded a conclusion of accidental death.
Mr Turner, a retired civil servant, is understood to have swum into the centre of the lake before getting into difficulties.
Bystanders saw him struggling in the water before disappearing.
The daughter of his American girlfriend and a paramedic who happened to be nearby paddled out in kayaks but were unable to find him.
His body was recovered two days later in a spot where the water was about 85ft (25m) deep.
An autopsy carried out in the US gave a provisional cause of death as freshwater drowning, but Ms Jones, assistant coroner for North Wales East and Central, said after reading of Mr Turner's heart condition she wanted to "tweak" that conclusion.
"I don't believe it was simply a case of his getting into trouble while swimming as he was a strong, competent and confident swimmer," she said.
"Underlying everything was the heart problem. It was not merely a contributory factor but actually caused the drowning."
The inquest heard Mr Turner suffered heart attacks in the past and had a stent fitted.
There are unconfirmed reports that Alieu Momar Njai, who announced Yahya Jammeh's defeat in the polls last month, has fled the country.
President Jammeh initially accepted defeat, but then changed his mind and is now refusing to step down.
Security forces took over the headquarters of the electoral commission shortly afterwards.
Mr Njai's son did not confirm whether his father had left the country, but said that he hoped and prayed that he was "in safe hands", writing in a Facebook post.
President Jammeh, who has ruled The Gambia for 22 years, is due to be replaced by property developer Adama Barrow, who won elections on 1 December with more than 45% of the vote.
Three private radio stations have been taken off air in the country since Sunday, in the first sign of a media crackdown since the president's election defeat.
Diplomatic efforts to convince Mr Jammeh to accept defeat have so far proved unsuccessful.
The West African regional bloc Ecowas, which has been leading these efforts, has threatened sanctions against Mr Jammeh if he does not step down.
The Spaniard volleyed home the fastest goal in England's second tier this season from Dwight Gayle's flick-on.
Perez hit the second from close range after the interval and Matt Ritchie curled in a third from a Perez pass.
Ex-Magpies striker Leon Best came closest for Town with a fierce strike that came back off the bar.
Best's effort came soon after Perez had put the hosts ahead, but it was a rare attack against a Newcastle side who missed plenty of chances.
Gayle, who had 11 goals in 11 games and seven in his past four prior to facing the Tractor Boys, side-footed over and Ritchie twice shot wide during a dominant first-half display.
With Jonjo Shelvey and Jack Colback in control in midfield and Ritchie, Gayle and Perez a constant threat, the goals eventually arrived in the final 20 minutes to give a more realistic feel to the scoreline.
Ipswich drop to 17th place having failed to score for a sixth league game in seven.
Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez:
"It's another good win, because it's not easy to win in this competition. We played really well in the first half.
"We had chances and could have scored more goals but we didn't do it so we had to work hard in the second half.
"It's important to keep confidence high and the only way is working hard. We know every game is difficult and we have to be ready.
"After the second goal we had more control. It was easy at the end but you could see the difficulty we had at the start of the second half."
Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy:
"We were beaten by the best team. If you see a better team than that this year I'd be surprised.
"I've just spoken to the players and there's not a lot more we could have done. We tried everything to stop them. The one pleasing thing is we kept it at 1-0 for 70 minutes.
"All three finishes were fabulous. They were better than us, they are better than us, and they will be champions in my view.
"We tried everything and nothing worked. They are a very good team and we got what we deserved. We tried to press but we didn't do that particularly well."

Dean Saunders, 25, died at HMP Chelmsford in Essex in January 2016 and an inquest jury found he was "let down" by mental health services.
Justice Secretary, Liz Truss, met his relatives at HMP Whitemoor in Cambridgeshire and said she had asked them to be involved in policy-making.
She also announced plans for 2,000 new prison officers and improved training.
Speaking during the visit, Ms Truss said: "Certainly it wasn't good enough what happened in the Dean Saunders case.
"We have looked at the case and learnt lessons for the Prison Service and the NHS - but there is more we need to do.
"Recruiting those extra officers will mean that we're able to have one officer for every six offenders and that will help keep those people safe, but also give them the encouragement to get into work, to get the training they need to turn their lives around."
Dean's father Mark said: "I welcome the chance to help change the prison system."
Mr Saunders, from Basildon, was a stay-at-home father, described by his friends as a "generous man" who loved his family.
He had been briefly held in a mental health secure unit in Rochford.
After he was released from hospital, he became "paranoid and confused" and attacked his brother and father in December 2015.
He was then charged with attempted murder and electrocuted himself at HMP Chelmsford, Essex, in January 2016.
An inquest jury concluded he killed himself "while the balance of his mind was disturbed, contributed to by neglect".
David Knight, the now-retired head of Tatworth Primary School near Chard in Somerset, made a "considerable number of amendments" in Key Stage 2 exams in maths, spelling and reading in 2014.
The school was under pressure to improve after an Ofsted report in 2013 rated it as requiring improvement.
Mr Knight accepted amendments were made but denied he had tampered with papers.
A National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) panel found Mr Knight had a previously good record and had retired from the school in August 2014 after a successful career.
But following a review of the 2014 SATs exam papers by the Standards and Testing Agency (STA), a considerable number of amendments were found, which the NCTL concluded were "more likely than not" made by Mr Knight.
The report said his actions constituted "unacceptable professional conduct" and fell "significantly short" of the standards expected of the profession.
The panel added: "His actions were deliberate and he was aware of the importance of following the STA procedures.
"This was a very serious case of maladministration, involving all the school's Key Stage 2 SATs results being annulled."
Mr Knight, who was head teacher from April 2002, did not attend the hearing.
He has a right of appeal to the High Court within 28 days.
At Bristol Crown Court, Wilfie Isaacs Jnr, 22, described how he was shot and his father killed with the same weapon.
Tensions had been running high between the Broadway and Isaacs families, who lived at the Chubbard's Cross caravan site near Ilminster, for almost two years, the court has heard.
Charlie, John and Billy Broadway deny murder and attempted murder.
Bristol Crown Court has heard the shooting happened on 5 May, following an earlier violent altercation between Charlie Broadway, 24, his two brothers-in-law, Joseph Finney and Riley Jones, and Mr Isaacs, 49, and his son.
Charlie Broadway, Mr Finney and Mr Jones are accused of attacking Mr Isaacs Snr with a metal bar - causing a cut to his eye - after he complained some younger members of the Broadway family had been rude to him.
Prosecutors allege John Broadway, 37, known as Dewey, gave the order to younger brother Billy, 18, to get a gun who then passed it to Charlie to shoot the Isaacs.
Mr Isaacs said: "Everything happened so quick... [he] shot me in the shoulder. He was probably aiming for my head but I moved at the last minute. Then he shot my dad.
"After he shot me and my dad he aimed at my mum and my two-year-old daughter."
Mr Isaacs said he had not seen the black pump-action shotgun before but the Broadways were "always firing guns in the air".
Charlie and Billy Broadway also deny a charge of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Mr Finney, Mr Jones and Charlie Broadway also deny unlawfully wounding Wilfred Isaacs Snr and the assault occasioning actual bodily harm of his son.
Bonnie Wilson denies a charge of assisting an offender.
The case continues.
They teach that IS has nothing to do with true Islam, labelling it the "devil's army".
But IS is actively recruiting across the North Caucasus.
It is estimated that as many as 500 people have now joined its ranks from Chechnya alone.
Sayeed Mazhaev fought in Syria with a group that later swore allegiance to IS.
Now back home in the Chechen capital Grozny, he says he was first contacted online by an old friend.
Gradually he and others talked Sayeed into joining them.
"The idea became so appealing that nothing else interested me. It was like I was under hypnosis, my feelings were so strong," he remembers.
"They persuaded me that going to Syria was the whole meaning of life; that there is no other path than to die for the rise of my religion and for those who are oppressed."
Sent videos of apparent atrocities and urged repeatedly to do his "Muslim duty", 22-year-old Sayeed eventually buckled.
Now free after eight months in a Chechen prison, Sayeed is still wearing an electronic tag.
Fifty-two people have left to fight for IS in Syria from his neighbourhood of Grozny alone.
It is the latest phase in the Islamist insurgency that emerged after Chechnya's brutal war for independence from Russia.
At the local police station, the deputy police chief scrolls through a computer database of those who have gone.
Magomed Magomadov admits that the authorities did not worry too much when the exodus of extremists began a couple of years ago.
"We thought they'd just get killed," he says, so his officers simply noted the names.
But as the number has risen, Russia has become concerned that battle-hardened extremists will bring their fight back home.
It was President Vladimir Putin's key justification for launching air strikes in Syria three months ago.
Critics see that as camouflage for a global power game, as Russia props up its ally Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. But efforts to tackle the IS threat at home have also intensified.
"Now we tell people that even if they buy a ticket and set off, we can charge them with joining an illegal armed organisation," Magomed Magomadov explains.
"We warn them not to even think of it, because they'll go to prison."
The vast majority he has encountered were lured to Syria through what he calls a "wrong understanding" of Islam. IS recruiters "mess up their heads", the policeman says.
Those caught can be subjected to public shaming ceremonies. In one recent incident, Chechnya's leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, was shown on television berating a group of men said to have been recruiting for IS.
They stand, heads bowed, then their own relatives are called to join in.
Russian students targeted as recruits by Islamic State
Syria conflict: Number of foreign fighters 'doubled in 16 months'
What is 'Islamic State'?
"It's good they're at least trying to use soft power," acknowledges Grigory Shvedov, of internet news agency Caucasus Knot.
But human rights groups accuse Chechen security forces of abusive methods too, including targeting family members of suspected extremists in a form of collective punishment.
"Chechnya is very well known for being brutal. That's one reason why, in Chechnya specifically, the amount of people happy to join IS is growing," Mr Shvedov adds.
But spotting the warning signs of radicalisation can be difficult.
In the living room of her small, immaculate flat, Lida Bachaeva explains that she thought her sons had gone to Europe to look for work.
Then one day Mansur called from Syria to tell her that his brother, Timur, had been killed. He was 24.
"If I'd known where they were going I'd have grabbed them, told the police, done anything to stop them. But what can I do now?" Lida says.
Like many Chechen mothers she had protected her children through two wars in the republic.
"We thought everything was settled again, then suddenly there was Syria. And now I have lost my sons," she cries.
Religious leaders have been touring schools and colleges and producing leaflets to convince young Chechens that fighting in Syria is no path to paradise.
"But those who don't accept our message don't say so and we don't have an X-ray to see into their souls," says deputy mufti Usman Osmaev, inside Grozny's vast central mosque.

Sayeed Mazhaev counts himself lucky to have escaped. He says he realised his mistake after seeing civilians executed in Syria.
He fled when he was injured and sent to Turkey for treatment, and now works with officials urging other Chechens not to be seduced.
"Just because I was lucky enough to get away, others shouldn't think that they can go to Syria - take a look, then come home," Sayeed warns.
"Because they won't be able to. Definitely not now."

The governing body made the decision after far-right Hindu nationalists stormed the Board of Control for Cricket in India offices in Mumbai.
Shiv Sena party activists threatened to prevent Pakistani Dar from standing in the fifth one-day international in Chennai on Sunday.
Dar is a three-time winner of the ICC's Umpire of the Year award.
"Under the present circumstances, it will be unreasonable to expect from Aleem that he will be able to perform his duties to the best of his abilities," an ICC spokesman said.
Shiv Sena blames Pakistan for militant attacks in India and is opposed to any engagement with it.
A member of the elite panel of ICC umpires, Dar officiated in the first three ODIs and was scheduled to stand in the fifth match in Mumbai on 25 October. South Africa lead the series 2-1.
A meeting between India and Pakistan's cricket board chiefs at the Wankhede Stadium was cancelled after the protests.

The barrier will be built in Winchester, Hampshire around North Walls and Park Avenue including St Bede School and The Art College.
Roy Perry, leader of Hampshire County Council, said it would "provide much needed relief and peace of mind".
The area previously flooded in 2000 and 2014.
The wall will be constructed in red brick to match existing walls in the area, but its foundation will be constructed out of reinforced concrete to resist water pressures.
It is being funded by Hampshire County Council, Winchester City Council, Southampton University, and the Environment Agency.
Mr Perry said: "This is a good example of a joined up approach by partners to help protect Winchester residents."
Work is expected to start in the summer and be completed at the end of the year.
Researchers found 70% of the rhino's genetic diversity had been wiped out over the past 200 years due to hunting and loss of habitat.
This means the small number left would be vulnerable to the same diseases.
Prof Mike Bruford said moving bulls to new parks to boost diversity could help combat this "unfolding catastrophe".
From a population in the 1970s of almost 70,000, there are now about 5,000 black rhinos in the wild - the World Wildlife Fund lists the animal as critically endangered.
The animal now only survives in South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Tanzania.
Working with colleagues from universities in South Africa, Kenya, Copenhagen and Chester, Cardiff's team compared the genes of living and dead rhinos by visiting museums and herds in the wild.
They found that 44 of 64 genetic lineages no longer exist, which poses a threat to the future of the animal.
Prof Bruford, from Cardiff University's School of Biosciences, said: "The magnitude of this loss in genetic diversity really did surprise us - we did not expect it to be so profound. If you don't have genetic diversity, you can't evolve.
"The new genetic data we have collected will allow us to identify populations of priority for conservation, giving us a better chance of preventing the species from total extinction.
"You could bring a new bull in or swap bulls between parks - you know they're not related so you're bringing fresh genes into the park."
Other suggestions to help conserve the black rhino includes moving animals together to make it cheaper to protect the dwindling population.
The research 'Extinctions, genetic erosion and conservation options for the black rhinoceros' has been published in Scientific Reports.
In a New York Times report, Dr Grigory Rodchenkov alleges dozens of athletes, including at least 15 medallists at the 2014 Winter Olympics, were part of an extensive state-run doping programme.
Skier Alexander Legkov and bobsledder Alexander Zubkov insist they are clean.
The International Olympic Committee said the claims must be investigated.
But Legkov, who won gold and silver medals in Sochi, said legal action "needed" to be taken over the allegations.
"It is complete rubbish and we need to stop it," he said.
"I performed honestly. My Olympic victory was not accidental."
Zubkov, who won two gold medals in Sochi, added: "It is all nonsense and slander directed at Russian sportsmen who took part in the Olympics. It is unacceptable."
Rodchenkov described a massive, tightly organised doping operation involving Russia's security service and the sports ministry.
Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko has condemned the allegations as "a continuation of the information attack on Russian sport".
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov added they were "unsubstantiated" and the "slander of a defector".
Former Russian anti-doping agency worker Vitaly Stepanov had also claimed on the CBS network's 60 Minutes programme that undercover Russian intelligence agents posed as anti-doping staff to cover up cheating at Sochi.
The BBC and the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) have been unable to independently verify the allegations made in the programme.
Russian athletes have already been banned from international competition by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the sport's world governing body, after a Wada commission report alleged "state-sponsored" doping in the country.
Rodchenkov left his post after the report was published in November 2015.

The policy is likely to form a central part of Labour's election manifesto, which is due to be launched on Monday.
Ed Balls said Labour would carry out an immediate review of the tax collection system to close loopholes if it wins power in May.
The Tories said they would claw back £5bn from tax avoiders and evaders.
Labour claims Chancellor George Osborne has not set out how this would be done.
But Paul Johnson, the director of the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies, has said both main parties are "making up numbers" in terms of what they can raise from tax avoidance and evasion.
Speaking to the Radio 4's The World this Weekend, he said: "The Conservatives are committed to getting £5bn a year extra. Labour are trumping that by saying £7.5bn. It's almost impossible to know upfront actually what you can achieve from cracking down on avoidance and evasion."
Main pledges
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Under the Labour plan, there would be an assessment of the powers currently held by HM Revenue and Customs followed by moves to beef up the agency's powers.
The party wants to change the so-called "carried interest" rules which allow private equity managers to pay lower rates of Capital Gains Tax - instead of income tax - even when they are not investing much of their own money.
Labour also want to prevent disguised self-employment and close loopholes used by hedge funds to avoid stamp duty.
Shadow chancellor Mr Balls said: "We will close loopholes the Tories won't act on, increase transparency, toughen penalties and abolish the non-dom rules. And our first budget will make sure that following an immediate review of HMRC, it has the powers and resources it needs to come down hard on tax avoidance and evasion.
"Working people who are paying more in tax want everyone to pay their fair share. And there shouldn't be one rule for a few and another rule for everybody else."
Mr Balls will on Sunday set out his party's ten-point plan to tackle tax avoidance, which includes pushing a draft Finance Bill through parliament, and asking the Bank of England to "focus on risks from the informal economy".
David Gauke, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, for the Conservatives, said: "Ed Miliband and Ed Balls turned a blind eye to aggressive tax avoiding and evading for 13 years when they were in charge - they were the tax avoiders' friends.
"Ed Miliband has no economic plan to secure Britain's future - and it's hard-working taxpayers who will pay the price."
He said the coalition had clawed back £7bn a year in lost revenue and planned to go further.
The latest Opinium poll for the Observer gives the Tories a two-point lead over Labour. The Conservatives are on 36% up 3 points, while Labour is up 1 point on 34%.
Australian Taylor, 28, is charged with Grade E eye gouging on St Helens' Jonny Lomax and a Grade B dangerous throw offence against Hull FC.
His throw charge is up to a two-game ban with gouging four to six games, with no early guilty plea available.
Taylor moved to the French side this season from Gold Coast Titans.
Featherstone pair Tim Spears and Bradley Knowles-Tagg both face Grade A charges of a dangerous throw, with Rovers' Ian Hardman facing a dangerous contact Grade A allegation.
Warrington's George King is up for the same charge, as is Leigh's Harrison Hansen, but his dangerous contact is a Grade C offence, while Wakefield's David Fifita is facing a Grade B offence for a high tackle.
The health and inequality commission is one of the initiatives in Glasgow City Council's new economic strategy.
It will aim to ensure that the city's workforce is "fit and healthy enough to fill the jobs that will be created".
The commission was announced to businesses attending the 18th "State of the City Economy Conference".
In his speech to the conference, council leader Frank McAveety said that bringing Glasgow's productivity up to the UK average would be worth an additional £4.6bn to the city's economy.
"Like other major UK cities, our productivity falls well below the UK average," he said.
"Given what we know about the potential of cities to drive growth, this cannot be allowed to continue."
Outlining the scale of the problem, Councillor McAveety said: "Glasgow has a higher share of working aged residents than the Scottish average.
"However, we also have the third largest share of inactive working age residents, in large part a consequence of poor health.
"There is no point developing skills and creating opportunities for business if we do not have a workforce that is fit and healthy enough to fill the jobs that will be created."
He told delegates at the conference that the city's "poor health" was "one of the obvious and awkward barriers to economic activity".
Councillor McAveety added: "I have appointed a health and inequality commission with a remit extending beyond the council offices I control.
"We need to foster a cross-body approach which tackles our city's poor health and creates a healthy workforce, capable of securing personally-rewarding jobs for themselves and their families, and contributing to the sort of economic growth in the city that we are aiming for."
Elsewhere, councillor McAveety called on the Scottish government to devolve more powers to the city.
He said that the "Glasgow's city region" effectively had "two governments intent on pursuing their own agendas".
He said it would be better if more responsibility for issues such as skills development was entrusted to "a more localised body" rather that "distant, national bodies".
The council intends to launch its new economic strategy next year.
Timothy Pearce-Slade, of Bellerbys College, Cambridge, admitted kissing the girl in a "non-consensual" way, a National College for Teaching and Leadership disciplinary panel heard.
He has been banned from working in schools indefinitely.
The panel also considered allegations Pearce-Slade touched students from 2006 to 2012, but found them not proven.
Between September 2003 and January 2004, the panel heard, Pearce-Slade, 64, would often walk the teenager, named as Student A, home from school and kiss her cheek in parting.
On 5 January 2004, the teacher, who taught physiology and cell biology, offered to walk the pupil home after she had been feeling unwell.
When they arrived at her home, Pearce-Slade said to her: "I am going to give you a kiss on the lips".
Student A protested and tried to move her face, the panel heard, but Pearce-Slade held her shoulders and said words to the effect of "don't be silly".
He admitted the contact had been non-consensual and the panel concluded his actions were sexually motivated.
In a statement, Pearce-Slade said he allowed himself to get unprofessionally close to Student A and admitted he went a "step too far".
Following the allegations, independent Bellerbys College, which caters to pupils aged 15 to 21, dismissed him last July.
The proposed link would include a 3.1 mile (5km) tunnel between the Great Western main line at Slough in Berkshire and the airport's Terminal 5.
But Network Rail said a planning application, due to be submitted in the next few weeks, had been delayed until late 2017.
Businesses said the link was needed to attract more people to Reading.
Nick Halstead, who owns technology business Datasift in Green Park, said the "disappointing" delay was making it harder to attract staff.
He said: "The delay is not a good sign for this project and other projects where Reading should be seen as important."
Slough Labour MP Fiona Mactaggart said the delay showed "a failure of leadership" by the government and was "pathetic".
Tim Brownstone, who runs Reading sportswear company Kymira, said the rail link was needed to bring external investment to the area.
In November, a review of Network Rail's investment programme by Sir Peter Hendy concluded a number of projects including this one would take longer than planned.
Julian Burnell, from Network Rail, said the delay was "not really anybody's fault" and changes had to be made following the Hendy Report.
He said: "It's a brand new tunnel, it's an entirely new stretch of railway, and that takes a lot of time and a lot of careful planning."
A Network Rail spokeswoman added consultations with landowners and interested parties in the area also had to be completed.
Given the go-ahead by the government in 2012, it was originally planned the new service would be in operation by 2021.
The plan would save up to 30 minutes for passengers travelling from south Wales, the west of England and the Thames Valley.

Paul MacDonald, Chief of Police for Barnstable, Massachusetts said: "It's not unusual for us to have tourists or guests from England but this is the first time someone called from England to report a motor vehicle crash."
The English caller, who lives in Ilfracombe, said: "The more I hear it the more I laugh."
"My friends asked Cortana and the phone number came up so I pressed it and that's how I was speaking to police in Massachusetts."

Midfielder Vela, linked with a possible switch to Championship neighbours Wigan, thumped in an 84th-minute right-foot effort after Gary Madine cancelled out David Ball's first-half opener.
Phil Parkinson's side have now won all four of their opening games while Vela's goal condemned Fleetwood to a first league defeat of the new campaign.
The only disappointment for Parkinson was a 30th-minute game-ending injury for striker Zach Clough.
Four minutes later the mood deepened as Ball punished a defensive howler by experienced defender Dean Moxey.
Wanderers, however, responded well in the second half as Madine levelled after 50 minutes.
Town keeper Chris Neal made a stunning double save to deny substitute Kaiyne Woolery and Mark Davies. But he had no chance as Vela scored the winner, though Victor Nirennold wasted a great opportunity to equalise deep in stoppage time.

More on this story and others from Bedfordshire
The link would means transfers will take less than five minutes compared to the current system where passengers have to wait for an airport shuttle bus, which takes about 15 minutes.
Cllr Andy Malcolm, Chair of London Luton Airport Ltd, said: "A total journey time of less than 30 minutes from St Pancras to the airport will beat the time from Liverpool Street to Stansted by 20 minutes and better the time from Victoria to Gatwick too."
Three stations plus tunnels and bridges will have to be built over a dual carriageway.
A planning application is expected to be submitted in the Autumn, with construction starting next year.
More than one million passengers used the airport last month, which bosses said was a new record. It is the fastest growing airport in the UK and is forecasting a 50% increase in passengers, to 18 million, by 2020.
The Channel Islands were occupied for five years by German forces.
A memorial at Guernsey Airport featuring the names of 153 airmen known to have died in Bailiwick of Guernsey waters is being dedicated on Wednesday.
The work to uncover the names was led by John Goodwin, who has researched the subject for more than 50 years.
He was inspired by a line in a book that said the German garrison in Guernsey had only shot down one plane during the war - and it was one of their own.
"It's true they shot down one of their own - in August 1943 they shot down a Focke-Wulf 190 and he crashed on the back of Herm... as I got into it and realised the amount of anti-aircraft guns they had in the island I thought either they weren't trying or were damn bad shots," he said.
Allied Airmen Memorial
Most of those who died have no known graves, but of those who have been laid to rest two remain in Guernsey - both were laid to rest in the German Military Cemetery, at Fort George, by the occupying forces.
Sgt William Beach, a flight engineer with the Royal Air Force, was in the tail section of a Lancaster from 61 Squadron, which had been hit by anti-aircraft fire while over Germany on a bombing run of Berlin.
The badly damaged plane ran out of fuel to the north west of Guernsey on 28 January 1944 where it ditched in "horrendous seas" snapping the plane in two.
The four crew in the front section were able to get in a dinghy and after nearly two days in the water they were picked up by an air-sea rescue launch.
Sgt Beach and gunners Sgt Terence Bowden and Sgt Cyril Arthur Acombe-Hill were in the tail section, which started to sink on impact, and Sgt Beach's body later washed ashore on Guernsey.
Mr Goodwin said: "His sister Milly Wilson, who is still alive... [was] thrilled to hear Billy's name would be on the memorial."
Canadian 22-year-old Flt Sgt Conrad Peter Vivian Biddlecombe was part of the crew of a Mitchell, a twin-engined bomber, that launched an attack on a target in Normandy on 18 June 1944.
The plane was last seen over the English Channel at 02:15 on 19 June.
Mr Goodwin said it ditched close to Guernsey's north coast and all four crew died.
He said Flt Sgt Baggery is recorded as buried at sea so was presumably picked up by a British naval vessel, Flt Sgt Ahearn's body is buried at Bayeux having been washed ashore in France, while Flt Sgt Ulens was never found.
Flt Sgt Biddlecombe's body was washed ashore in Guernsey on 27 July, although Mr Hamon said there was a disparity in the records as to where he was found on the coast.
He said a post-war exhumation and examination revealed the Flt Sgt's identity and he was reinterred with a headstone.
The majority of those remembered on the memorial are Americans as they were serving on bombers, which usually had a crew of 10 including pilots, engineer, navigator, radio operator, bombardier and gunners.
Among the incidents recorded in the diaries of Guernsey residents is seeing formations of Allied bombers and fighters heading towards France on New Year's Eve 1943.
Two of the B17 Flying Fortresses - named Piccadilly Commando and Speedball - were veterans of the conflict.
Piccadilly Commando suffered heavy damage shortly after dropping its bombs, which saw the plane drop behind the formation on the return to England where it became a target of the German fighters picking off the stragglers.
Although the crew fought off the attack and shot down two fighters the bomber had insufficient fuel to cross the Channel.
It came down off the coast of Guernsey and - although shot by the onshore batteries and only one life raft operating - the 11-man crew all made it safely to shore, where they were imprisoned by the German authorities.
The crew of Speedball was involved in the same raid, but were less fortunate. The plane was heavily damaged by fighters and came down 12 miles north of Guernsey.
The nine crew that survived spent the cold winter's night huddled on a reef 300m (1,000ft) offshore with all but two of them succumbing to the weather or the tides.
More Allied airmen were known to be lost in Bailiwick waters, but their names remain unknown.
Simon Hamon, from the Channel Islands Occupation Society, said: "Research is only as good as the information available.
"Taking one day in September 1944, there are four or five diary accounts of a B17 hugging the coast and two fighters based at the airport engaging it.
"That day there were 1,500 aircraft on bomber runs that morning and 36 B17s were lost.
"We've been able to whittle it down to 16 possible aircraft which we know must have come down mid-channel and would have passed potentially close to the Channel Islands.
"There's no doubt in our minds that that incident happened, we cannot whittle it down beyond the 16 and therefore we have to leave those names off."
The 61-year-old was convicted in Catalonia's Superior Court of Justice of civil disobedience for organising the symbolic, non-binding poll.
Spain's Constitutional Court had banned the vote at the time.
Catalonia, a region in the country's north-east, has long campaigned for greater autonomy.
The pro-independence Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) party called the verdict "disgraceful" and "undemocratic".
Mr Mas said: "We will appeal in Spain and then take the case to European courts, if we need to."
The Catalonia court also fined Mr Mas, who was president of Catalonia from 2010 until last year, €36,500 (£32,000; $39,000).
Two former members of his government - his deputy Joana Ortega and education minister Irene Riga - were also found guilty and banned from public office for 21 and 18 months respectively. They were also fined.
Thousands of supporters filled the streets outside the Barcelona court at the opening of the trial last month.
Many waved the Catalan pro-independence flag, chanting "you are not alone", "democracy is not a crime" and "independence".
The current Catalonia government has vowed to hold a new vote in September.
Catalans have often cited Scotland's 2014 referendum on independence from the UK as an inspiration, and it may be further bolstered by Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's announcement that she will seek permission for a second referendum.
Catalan officials say more than 80% of those who voted in its 9 November 2014 poll backed independence.
However, only 2.3 million voters, out of an estimated 5.4 million who were eligible, took part.
Mrs Long said that "there is very little evidence of any tangible progress" and that Tuesday 27 June is the "real deadline" for the talks.
Sinn Féin said on Thursday that time is "fast running out" for the negotiations to be successful.
The parties have officially until 29 June to reach agreement.
The deadline was set by Secretary of State James Brokenshire.
The parties have been warned that if they cannot reach agreement, direct rule could follow.
However, Mrs Long said that the two largest parties, the DUP and Sinn Féin, "appear to finally be buckling down to try and close the gaps between them".
"It needs to be remembered if they run the clock out on those issues, there will be no time left to deal with the issues other parties have raised as part of this process.
"If the DUP and Sinn Féin truly want a multi-party executive, they need to deal with all the issues on the table thoroughly and treat all parties in the process equally," she added.
Northern Ireland has been without a power-sharing executive since March and without a first and deputy first minister since January.
The institutions collapsed amid a bitter row between the DUP and Sinn Féin about a botched green energy scheme.
The late deputy first minister, Martin McGuinness, stood down, in a move that triggered a snap election.
Meanwhile, Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney has said it is possible a deal will be made before the deadline, but that it will require "courage and accommodation".
He also said there is no possibility of the Thursday deadline being pushed back.
Back Malouf, 24, made his international Sevens debut in 2012 and played every game of the 2013 and 2014 World Series, as well as last year's Olympic Games.
Wales Sevens international Owen, 28, can also play at fly-half and full-back. He was released from his deal with Pro12 side Scarlets this month.
The length of contracts for the two players has not been revealed.
Tigers head coach Matt O'Connor said Owen's experience and Malouf's versatility would boost their backline options.
"He (Owen) is a natural footballer in the midfield and works well with the players around him," O'Connor said.
"Nick has the ability to play at centre or wing, and has good power and pace.
"He is now at a point in his career where he wants to focus on the full version of the game again and we'd like to see him develop with us."
Under Mr Jammeh, the National Assembly was frequently ignored as the president enacted executive decrees without consultation.
Expectations are high that under the new president, Adama Barrow, parliament will play a key part in lawmaking.
Mr Barrow has pledged to carry out political, security and media reforms.
As part of his proposed reform, he is setting up a truth and reconciliation commission to investigate abuses committed under Mr Jammeh's rule.
Reports say voter turnout has been relatively low.
"Jammeh was a determining factor which encouraged some people to vote and now that he is gone they are not really motivated," Pierre Gomez from Banjul University told the BBC.
Some of the candidates were also not well known to voters, he added.
Mr Jammeh sparked a political and constitutional crisis by refusing to leave office following his defeat in the December 2016 presidential election.
He finally headed for exile on 21 January after neighbouring countries threatened to remove him by force.
Mr Jammeh's then-ruling Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC) won 43 out of 53 seats in 2012.
The opposition largely boycotted the polls and one opposition member was elected. Four independent candidates also won seats.
The president had the power to select a further five members, which he did.
A coalition of seven parties that supported President Barrow during the presidential election has collapsed.
And the list of parliamentary candidates shows parties formerly in the coalition vying against each other in various constituencies.
President Barrow used to be a member of the United Democratic Party (UDP), but quit after being chosen as the opposition coalition's presidential candidate so as not to be seen as favouring one party within the grouping.
Mr Jammeh's APRC remains intact, and is taking part in the election as an opposition party for the first time since he seized power in a 1994 coup.
The National Assembly is made up of 53 MPs who serve for a five-year term.
In the past, 48 were elected by voters while five were appointed by the president.
This time, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) has declared that all 53 constituencies will be contested and it has published a list of the 239 candidates contesting seats.
To qualify a candidate must be at least 21 years old but a law requiring candidates to pay $10,000 (£8,000) has recently been repealed.
Any citizen aged 18 years or older and of sound mind has the right to vote.
The IEC rules say voters must be on the electoral register and have a polling card. Also, they must attend the right polling station and avoid turning up drunk.
There are 886,578 registered voters, who will make their choice of candidate by dropping marbles into drums - the method The Gambia has long used in elections.
This is said to prevent possible multiple voting and presiding officers "listen to the sound of the marble/token hitting the drum".
The European Union has deployed an observation mission, with 20 people who will monitor the ballot across the country.
The authorities banned the EU from monitoring the last presidential elections. However, African Union officials were allowed.
Local media have said that the vote will be one of the closest since the country's independence in 1965.
President Barrow needs a majority in the National Assembly if he is to successfully push through his political reforms.
But with the break-up of the coalition that sponsored him at the last election, there are doubts whether now independent parties will continue to back him.
Mr Barrow has campaigned for pro-government candidates, but it is unclear whether the poll winners will continue to support him.
And the opposition APRC may take advantage of the situation to win seats. If it succeeds, it is likely to frustrate the government's agenda.

These are some of the answers I'm given to the question of what makes a good chief executive.
Since the World Economic Forum is full of them (good, bad and ugly), I reckon it's a good place to ask.
"Don't believe your own brilliance" says Arne Sorenson, chief executive of Marriot Hotels and the first non-Marriott to be entrusted with leading the company in its 88-year history.
"You need to be curious and you need to be doing more listening than talking."
"It's possible to glorify the position of CEO… it's important that they should not be the only one making the decisions. Nobody is that brilliant."
You need a certain amount of rebellion within the team, he says in a crushed corner of the congress centre in Davos. And if you don't, you're doomed.
He also mentions the need to be authentic. Surprising, perhaps - but apparently he's not alone in thinking that's important.
Tim Morris, professor of management studies at Oxford University, was part of a team that carried out a study into the expectations of today's CEO.
They interviewed more than 150 chief executives about their job and although they had specifically avoided the word authentic, because they thought of it as too much of a buzz-word, it kept being brought up by the bosses themselves.
"It's clearly important to them," says Prof Morris.
"Chief executives feel that they can't get people behind them unless they're authentic."
"The traditional way of thinking about the good leader would be that they deliver for the shareholder and they survive because they deliver profits and keep people happy.
"But, for the people we interviewed, the job of chief executive was much more complicated than that."
But, I'm wondering, isn't it authentic to deliver profits? Isn't that what the job of CEO is?
Apparently not any more.
According to Oxford University's research, chief executives nowadays feel that they have to be more approachable, engaged, and caring. Or, as one described it, the Chief Emotional Officer.
And Prof Morris believes there won't be a return to the 'old-style' chief executive.
Leah Busque is relatively new to the business of being the boss. In 2008, she went from being a software engineer at IBM to setting up and running the company TaskRabbit.
New to the UK, the American website helps people find someone in their area to do a job for them, and now has about 50 employees.
She says she didn't have or need any training in leadership, but that she thinks the key is that she is self-aware enough to know when to bring in other people to fill in the gaps in her knowledge.
And it sounds like she's feeling the pressure to be more human.
"Showing vulnerability sometimes as a CEO is not a bad thing, but it's not always easy… CEOs don't like to be vulnerable, and show their weaknesses. Actually for me, it's something I have to really think about and really force myself to do."
Establishing exactly how you do that is tricky. It's possible to try too hard.
"The worst thing you can do is go on an authenticity course", says Prof Morris.
"You need to be consistent with your values, your purpose, with what you want to do and why."
Prof Morris says the power of social media means that it's impossible to switch off and dealing with that required much more subtlety than in the past.
He says there's a feeling among the chief executives they interviewed that as soon as they wake up they're aware of their responsibility.
"You can't just say sorry that's not my problem, I'll deal with it on Monday morning. There's a sense that it's all-consuming."
But he said a trait many of the executives had was an ability to shut the door on a decision after having made it.
The other factor that the CEO report highlights is how there is increasingly a global standard to the job. The answers and expectations in Japan and Korea, were not significantly different to those in the US or Europe.
And indeed the clearest answer I got on what makes a good chief executive came from Sim Tshabalala, Co-CEO of Standard Bank, one of Africa's largest.
"It's about knowing your industry but having the ability to lead people who know more than you," he says.
Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Orkney Islands Council are behind the venture.
The campus is aimed at supporting sectors including marine renewables.
The next stage is a planning application. If successful, work could begin before the end of the year.
The HIE board has approved up to £5.15m for the project, including £1.48m of European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) money.
Orkney Islands Council is to provide £1.5m in funding.
The council will also transfer the ownership of buildings for the project to be refurbished and extended to create the campus.
Graeme Harrison, HIE area manager in Orkney, said: "This is a huge investment in Orkney's future business and academic infrastructure, the impacts of which will be felt across Orkney.
"It will support the growth of existing businesses and the creation of new enterprises.
"Crucially, it will provide more opportunities to attract and retain young people looking to live, work and study in the islands."
Economy Secretary Keith Brown said: "I'm sure that this investment will increase the competitiveness of Orkney in the marine renewables sector, encourage business diversification, growth, inward investment and foster international partnerships."
Juicero makes the bulk of its sales by supplying pouches of pre-cut fruit and vegetables which fit the contraption.
But the product was ridiculed by some after it emerged how the sachets could be squeezed just as easily by hand.
Chief executive Jeff Dunn said the criticism overlooked the "experience" of the machine.
He claimed the "hacking" of the pouches did not produce the same quality of juice. saying the machine was calibrated to deal with different ingredients differently.
But Juicero has now given customers the chance to return the machine and get their money back, including those who bought it at its launch price of $699.
The San Francisco firm raised around $120m in funding ahead of its launch last March.
It said it was hoping to tackle nutrition and obesity problems, with investors also inspired by the success of businesses like Nespresso which blend a one-time sale of hardware with repeat sales of consumables.
In his blog post Mr Dunn, a former Coca-Cola executive, said that the machine - or 'press' - along with packs of fresh organic produce and a smartphone app combined to "enable a great experience".
The app lets users buy packets of ingredients which cost between $5 and $8 (only people who've bought the machine can order them) - and sends alerts when the produce is going out of date.
And Mr Dunn said that because each pouch of fruit and vegetables was individually tagged, the firm could remotely disable them "..if there is, for example, a spinach recall. In these scenarios, we're able to protect our consumers in real-time".
"The value of Juicero is more than a glass of cold-pressed juice. Much more," wrote Mr Dunn.
"The value is in how easy it is for a frazzled dad to do something good for himself while getting the kids ready for school, without having to prep ingredients and clean a juicer. It's in how the busy professional who needs more greens in her life gets app reminders to press produce packs before they expire, so she doesn't waste the hard-earned money she spent on them."
Not everyone was convinced by Mr Dunn's defence of his product.
In response to his blog on Medium, one poster asked: "Are you seriously referring to hand squeezing a bag as 'hacking'."
Another, Tapiwa Muranda, asked: "Malnutrition and obesity are diseases that disproportionately impact the poor and you solve this by selling a $400 (formerly $699) juice press with $5-8 produce packs?"
Meanwhile, Tom Goodwin wrote: "This is everything wrong about Silicon Valley in one note. A sort of unique sense of out of touch that makes people who ship chopped vegetables at 4000% mark up think they are changing the world because of a nice looking app. And then they feel appalled that real people don't see it that way."
But others felt the discussion was unnecessary.
"I know this is going to sound strange to many, but you don't have to buy a Juicero. What are we really getting mad at here?", asked Medium contributor Jeremy Akins.
"There are industries giving people diabetes. The leader of the free world just invited Kid Rock to the White House. I think we can give Jeff Dunn a pass on selling veggie juice to software engineers."
The Open Treasure exhibition provides a new route to the monks' dormitory and the great kitchen - one of the last surviving monastic kitchens in England.
Money has been spent installing a lift near the monks' staircase leading to the sleeping quarters, which were constructed between 1398 and 1404.
A new cathedral shop has also been built and the restaurant refurbished.
The project included new lighting and underground heating elsewhere in the cathedral.
The exhibition will be unveiled on 23 July.
A cathedral spokesman said: "[The] new world-class exhibition route will provide access to previously hidden spaces within the cathedral's magnificent claustral buildings."
The cathedral is regarded as one of the finest examples of Norman architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Blackman, who has yet to make a senior appearance for Chelsea, has extended his contract at Stamford Bridge until the end of the 2020/21 season.
The 23-year-old spent last season on loan at League Two side Wycombe, making 52 appearances in all competitions.
"Jamal has been our number one target right the way through the summer," said Blades boss Chris Wilder.
Blackman, who has also signed a new contract to 2021, is one of a number of Chelsea players to have moved away on season-long loan deals, including defenders Michael Hector to Hull and Tomas Kalas to Fulham.

"I would love to spread my wings in that direction, why not?" the multiple Emmy winner told the BBC ahead of the release of her new film Enough Said.
The comedy, which had its UK premiere at this year's London Film Festival, tells of a divorcee who finds love just as her daughter is leaving for college.
Louis-Dreyfus won her fourth Emmy last month for her role in Veep.
Created by Armando Iannucci of The Thick of It fame, the HBO show sees her play an ineffectual US vice president whose attempts to expand her role are continually thwarted.
Though ostensibly a romantic comedy, Enough Said - the fifth film by writer-director Nicole Holofcener - has "a couple of very dramatic moments" according to its 52-year-old star.
"They were a great joy to do even if they were painful," the actress explained. "I hope my fans will be happily surprised."
The film, which had its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September and is released in the UK on Friday, sees Louis-Dreyfus appear alongside James Gandolfini.
The late star of The Sopranos plays Albert, a well-meaning man unaware his massage therapist girlfriend - the character Louis-Dreyfus plays - has taken on his vindictive ex-wife as a client.
"I've never done anything as deceitful in my life but I understand why she does it," said the actress, who described her co-star as a "gentle giant" and a "dear, dear man".
"This is a woman on the precipice who's been emotionally hijacked by herself. The dread and fear of her daughter's impending departure fuels this horrible thing she does."
The scene in which her character's deception is exposed was both "tough" and "excruciating" to film, said the New Yorker, who is currently shooting the third season of Veep - a slang term for vice president.
"But it was exciting to do something so dramatic about large human emotions."
The 34-year-old striker was released from his Vancouver Whitecaps contract in early May.
Miller finished a two-and-a-half-year spell at Rangers in January 2011 by joining Bursaspor, having previously played at Ibrox between 2000 and 2001.
"I am thrilled to return to Rangers for a third time," Miller told the club's official website.
Kenny brings experience and pace to our forward line and will be a great influence on our younger players at Murray Park
"I have enjoyed so much success at this great football club and I am determined to repeat it again next season and beyond.
"Rangers is a special football club and we are on the rise again. I want to play my part as we look to get back to the top of Scottish football.
"I had a number of offers once I left Vancouver but I had my heart set on returning to Ibrox and I can't wait to get started again."
Miller, capped 69 times, ended his Scotland career after scoring in a 3-2 defeat by England at Wembley in August last year.
He began his career with Hibernian, who Rangers will be playing against in next season's Championship, and also turned out for Celtic, Derby and Cardiff before his switch to Major League Soccer in July 2012.
Miller, currently working on his coaching licence with the Scottish Football Association, trained with Rangers on several occasions during breaks from Canada.
And McCoist said: "We are delighted to welcome Kenny back to Ibrox.
"He was a terrific player for us in the past, especially his second spell at Rangers, and we have won many trophies together.
"Kenny brings experience and pace to our forward line and will be a great influence on our younger players at Murray Park.
"He is a top class footballer and we look forward to seeing him in a Rangers jersey once again as we look to secure promotion to the top flight next season."
Sir Tim Berners-Lee told the BBC that those who "make life absolutely miserable" for women on the net should be named so they could be sued.
But he stressed offenders must be "judged by an open, accountable judicial process".
Sir Tim cited the Arab Spring as an case where social media anonymity was used as a force for good.
However, he warned that there needed to be a balance between the right to anonymity and the need to counter cyber abuse.
"Every society and every social network, every government and every country, is going to have to come to an arrangement, where perhaps people have anonymity initially - but there is a stronger force which can take it away."
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Sir Tim, who created the first web page more than 25 years ago, dismissed calls from Republicans in the United States to restrict access to certain parts of the internet, in order to combat the rise of Islamic extremism.
"It's naive in lots of ways. Partly because you can't just prevent particular people from using the internet, partly because if people are planning an attack on the society - the fact that they are using the internet allows them to be caught as well."
"In some ways," he added, "law enforcement is easier on the internet than it is in real life."
Reece Allen was discovered with multiple stab wounds outside an address in West Avenue, North Shields, early on 25 January, and later died in hospital.
Joe Welsh, also 24, of no fixed address, had denied murder but was found guilty at a trial at Newcastle Crown Court.
The judge handed him a life sentence with a minimum term of 25 years.
European champion Steadman was top in the PTS5 category, while Paralympic hand-cycling champion Darke was victorious in the wheelchair category.
"After seven months out, training has picked up and I am really pleased," Steadman said.
In the men's PTS4 category, Britain's George Peasgood won a silver medal, but said he had struggled with the heat.
Alison Patrick, guided by Nicole Walters (PTS5), and Ryan Taylor (PTS3) failed to finish their races in Iseo-Franciacorta.

Kamel Bourgass and Tanvir Hussain were separated from other inmates for up to seven months after being accused of faith-related attacks.
The Court of Appeal rejected the claim but the Supreme Court has overruled it.
Hussain was jailed for his role in the 2006 airline bomb plot. Bourgass was implicated in a ricin poison plot.
The men were kept in solitary confinement after being accused of attacks on other inmates.
But the pair, who both denied the allegations, argued that it was illegal for prison staff to order their segregation for more than 72 hours without permission from ministers.
The Supreme Court unanimously found in the two men's favour on the domestic legislation governing segregation, but rejected the men's claim that their human rights had been violated.
By Clive Coleman, legal affairs correspondent
The judgment turned on the fact that the decisions to segregate Hussain and Bourgass beyond 72 hours were taken within the prisons themselves.
The Supreme Court found the segregations were unlawful because the law makes clear that in order to protect prisoners, any decision to segregate beyond 72 hours should be taken independently by the Secretary of State for Justice or his officials, and not by local prison management.
A human rights challenge based on the men's right to an independent hearing on the segregation decisions failed.
So this was not a human rights victory for prisoners, far from it.
This was about the interpretation of home-grown legislation and whether the practice currently being applied in prisons was compatible with it. It wasn't, and will now have to be changed to become compatible.
Bourgass, an Algerian, is serving 17 years for his involvement in the 2002 ricin terrorist plot.
He is also serving a life sentence for murdering Detective Constable Stephen Oake with a kitchen knife during his 2003 arrest at a flat in Manchester.
In 2009, while at HMP Whitemoor in Cambridgeshire, authorities feared he was bullying and intimidating fellow prisoners and they recorded "an escalation of violence [in the prison] for faith-related reasons".
He was not charged with an offence - but was placed in segregation for approximately five months.
Hussain was jailed in 2009 for a minimum of 32 years over his role in the 2006 liquid bomb plot - which resulted in immediate worldwide restrictions on passengers carrying liquids in their hand luggage.
While at HMP Frankland in County Durham, he was involved in a serious attack on another prisoner who received wounds to his face.
Prison intelligence suggested he was playing a wider role in the "conditioning" other vulnerable prisoners. He was kept in solitary confinement from April to October 2010.
Prison rules allow a prison governor to order segregation, but the prisoner cannot be segregated for more than 72 hours without the authority of the secretary of state.
This can be authorised for a period of no more than 14 days, but can be renewed.
For several years, however, this has been done by governors or prison officers, according to the BBC's legal correspondent Clive Coleman.
The men's appeals were unanimously allowed in relation to the practice of segregation beyond the first 72 hours authorised by governors and also in relation to the fairness of their treatment under common law.
Under common law they should have been better informed of the basis for their segregation, the court ruled.
Khaled El Azibi, Ibrahim Naji El Maarfi and Mohammed Abdalsalam fled Bassingbourn Barracks and carried out the attacks in the city last October.
They were jailed but have now been released and are seeking asylum.
Their victim said she was angered by their "arrogance to apply for asylum after committing despicable crimes".
The woman, who comes from Cambridge, said seeing her attackers' faces again had "brought what happened flooding back".
"They subjected me to a horrible, intimidating sexual assault which I will never be able to forget."
The cadets were among 300 being trained to support the newly-formed Libyan government.
They arrived at the Cambridgeshire barracks in June 2014. Following attacks on three women and one man in Cambridge in October, the remaining cadets were returned to Libya early in November.
The three trainees convicted of sexually assaulting the women on 26 October, received sentences of between 10 and 12 months and have since been released from prison.
Cambridgeshire Police confirmed they were now in detention centres and had applied for asylum.
"It is not only an insult to me and the other women they attacked but an insult to all those people who genuinely need asylum here," the victim added.
"They have brought this on themselves and should never be granted asylum."
The grounds on which El Azibi, El Maarfi and Abdalsalam are claiming asylum have not been revealed.
However, the woman's solicitor, Richard Scorer of Slater and Gordon, described it as "a cynical asylum bid by attackers who don't appear to have shown any contrition for their awful crimes".
"We have now written to the prime minister, David Cameron, on behalf of the victims to register their serious concerns about the situation," he said.
"If an application like this were to succeed it would bring the asylum system into disrepute at a time when many are in genuine need of sanctuary from war and persecution."
The Home Office, which does not comment on individual cases, said: "Those who break our laws should be removed from the country at the earliest opportunity and we will seek to remove any foreign national offender who receives a custodial sentence for a criminal offence." | Umpire Aleem Dar has been withdrawn from the India-South Africa series by the International Cricket Council.

Almost all of these deaths are the result of being bitten by an infected domestic dog. Avoiding these bites is an obvious solution. But how easy is it to spot a rabid dog?
Think of rabies and an image of a snarling dog, frothing at the mouth, probably comes to mind. But it is often not that straightforward.
A dog could have rabies or it could be angry. To the untrained eye, it is sometimes hard to tell.
An aggressive rabid dog has the furious form of the disease, but there is also a form called dumb, or paralytic, rabies.
Dogs in that state are often weak and lose co-ordination, so they do not appear as a threat but are just as deadly as the hostile animals.
If a person is bitten they can get post-exposure vaccine, but in poor countries this is often in short supply, meaning many people are not fortunate enough to receive it.
Once rabies symptoms start to show, a person is almost certain to die. But even then, rabies can be confused with other serious illnesses such as cerebral malaria or meningitis.
Clearly, dog vaccination campaigns are the most effective way of reducing rabies cases in both dogs and humans, making them a vital tool in eradicating the disease.
The US and the UK have successfully introduced such campaigns, but in poorer countries it is a different story.
Mission Rabies is a charity tackling the problem in Blantyre, southern Malawi. It aims to vaccinate up to 40,000 dogs; an estimated 70% of the local dog population.
According to recommendations from the World Health Organisation, this is the number needed for the disease eventually to be eradicated from the dog population - a concept called herd immunity.
"Each rabid dog might only infect just over one other, so it doesn't spread like a huge outbreak, but it just spreads slowly in the population," explains Kate Shervell, International Director of Mission Rabies.
"So by vaccinating 70%, the chances of a rabid dog biting a vaccinated dog is greater than [it biting] an unvaccinated dog.
"That's how it creates a barrier to the disease spread, and eventually the disease dies out," she adds.
The Mission Rabies campaign will need to be repeated every year for three years in order to ensure a sufficiently high vaccination proportion in a changing dog population, where new puppies are born and old dogs die.
India is the country with the biggest burden of human rabies cases, with around a third of all human deaths from the disease each year.
But across Africa many thousands of others also die.
In some regions it is estimated that there are up to a hundred cases for every one that is officially reported, meaning rabies may be a bigger problem than studies suggest.
Blantyre has one of the highest known numbers of children with rabies.
One man, Hanleck, had three puppies. After they were bitten by a stray dog, they started to become rabid and began biting anything that came near them, including his children.
He was worried that the children had also developed symptoms of rabies.
"They had headaches, severe back pain, they looked weak and lost their appetite," he explained.
Luckily, the children were not infected and received full courses of post-exposure rabies vaccine.
Mac Mallewa, associate professor of Paediatric Neurology at the University of Malawi, said they had been fortunate.
"There's been circumstances where a clinician knows this is a case of a rabid dog animal bite, but there's no rabies vaccine," he said.
"It's one of the most difficult things I've had to deal with as a paediatrician, [when] you know there's nothing you can do about it."
Mission Rabies is already seeing success from a programme it has been running in India for two years.
"When we began the programme we were picking up a rabid dog every month. And now, in the last five months, we've picked up two rabid dogs," said Kate Shervell.
"If we are seeing no more rabies cases in dogs, we really won't be seeing the cases in humans either."
It is hoped that, along with education campaigns in the local communities, Mission Rabies' current programme will create a rabies free Blantyre by 2017.
The Briton, 29, split from Amelie Mauresmo earlier this month after two years working with the Frenchwoman.
Murray said the presence of Delgado, on his team since February, meant there was "less rush" to find a replacement.
"I'm loving being involved with him, not just as a great player but also as a friend," said Delgado, a former Great Britain Davis Cup player.
"I'd always be watching him and hoping for him to win every match, so to be involved is fantastic.
"As regards a new coach, I'm not quite sure what's going to happen there - but if I were to do the job, I'd be over the moon."
Englishman Delgado's first tournament as sole coach ended with Murray beating world number one Novak Djokovic to win the Rome Masters and the Scot has progressed to the fourth round of the French Open.
"Tactically, on the clay, the past couple of months we've talked about a few things," said 39-year-old Delgado.
"The beginning of the clay is a tricky little moment when you're getting used to that surface again and we went through a few things that worked well for him last year and tried to improve that this year.
"He's quite clear about what he's trying to do on the court and I think that's shown in the past few weeks."
Delgado insists he is not looking to change Murray's often fractious on-court demeanour.
"He's had that side to his game and his competitive spirit all his life - so it's not something that you're looking to change really," he said.
"I understand how stressful it can be on the court in those tight situations when things aren't going well for you and whatever it might be on that day not working.
"But one thing he does do, he keeps fighting and very often finds a way to win so we just keep supporting as much as we can and we're with him all the way."
The two-time Grand Slam winner has been known to berate his coaching team during matches and Delgado is happy to deal with any flak coming his way.
"We take it sort of tongue in cheek as well," he said. "He sometimes says things in the heat of the moment.
"It's been absolutely fine and he's been competing and playing really well recently - so it's been great."
In seven "Pioneer Areas" the Welsh government is to work with councils, community groups and arts organisations to bring culture to the disadvantaged.
But Mr Sheen told BBC Wales "you can't just bring people out of poverty by putting on plays".
Deputy Culture Minister Ken Skates said involvement in arts and culture "boosts self-esteem and confidence".
The Port Talbot-raised actor told Sunday Politics Wales: "You can certainly make people aware of the issues, you can make sure people have the ability to empathise with other people's situations and hopefully inspire people, but ultimately it's the policy makers that are going to have to make the difference".
Responding to a report by Baroness Kay Andrews, on how engaging with culture can reduce poverty, Mr Skates said Pioneer Areas would seek to "realise the core vision set out in the report".
The areas are likely to be Swansea, Cardiff, Newport, Merthyr Tydfil, Torfaen, Gwynedd and Wrexham.
Mr Skates said "physical access" problems or "psychological barriers" stopped people in the most deprived communities enjoying arts and cultural activities.
"We want to tear down those barriers and open the doors to every possibility in terms of arts and culture for those people who have thus far been excluded or felt excluded", he said.
But the Welsh Local Government Association wants a commission to make an "urgent re-evaluation of what local councils can realistically be expected to deliver in such a challenging economic climate".
"Local councils face an unprecedented level of pressure on their budgets, and many of Wales' discretionary but highly valued cultural services are having to pay the price," it warned.
Welsh ministers have been criticised for focussing on arts provision for the least well-off when cuts to services are making it harder for everyone to access culture.
Viv Buckley, artistic director of the West Glamorgan Youth Theatre Company, which has lost a significant amount of local government funding, said: "We as a group work to try and increase the skills sector that we have in Wales and if the funding and all of the work is going to be focussed on more underprivileged young people, what happens to your middle of the road young people?"
However Mr Skates said ministers made "no apology for concentrating our efforts on people who right now are suffering the most".

The petition accuses the company of letting down customers and cancelling trains strategically to avoid fines.
It says customer service is "beyond useless" and the people of the South East have suffered long enough.
In response, Southeastern agreed it had been a difficult few weeks, but said it was committed to bringing about improvements.
On Monday, a landslip at Barnehurst led to the cancellation of services between Lewisham and Dartford for the rest of the day.
Then on Tuesday, the train operator sparked fury from some when it blamed the disruption of services on "the angle of the sun" in Lewisham.
Meanwhile, work at London Bridge, which is scheduled to continue until 2018, continues to cause problems for passengers.
The petition, started by Oliver Passey, has already gained more than 7,000 signatures.
In a statement, managing director for Southeastern, David Statham, said: "We understand it has been a difficult few weeks for passengers due to a series of problems, many of which have been caused by faults with the infrastructure we use.
"A number of these were weather related. Signalling and track circuit failures have also caused delays.
"All of these have caused frustration for passengers and we would like to reassure them Network Rail works hard to solve infrastructure problems."
He said the company was committed to "bringing about improvement".
"We'll also go above and beyond to help passengers, in particular [those] who are left stranded in the event of missing the last train home due to a delay or cancellation - we'll arrange onward transport or even arrange accommodation," the company said.
The US president said it would create "thousands and thousands" of jobs, despite a downturn in the oil market.
It could undo a ban put in place by Barack Obama in order to protect swathes of the ocean from development.
But Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said the decision was better than being held hostage by "foreign entities".
Getting rid of Mr Obama's environmental protections was one of Mr Trump's promises to voters while on the campaign trail.
As he signed the order, called the America-First Offshore Energy Strategy, Mr Trump said: "Our country's blessed with incredible natural resources, including abundant offshore oil and natural gas reserves, but the federal government has kept 94% of these offshore areas closed for exploration and production.
"This deprives our country of potentially thousands and thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in wealth."
The order instructs the US Department of Interior to come up with a new development plan for all federal waters off US coasts.
It is debatable how much income might be generated by a reversal of Mr Obama's order. Worldwide prices for oil have dropped in recent years, with a review by news agency Reuters finding the amount of money oil companies spent in the central Gulf of Mexico's annual lease sale dropped by more than 75% between 2012 and 2017.
Meanwhile, environmental groups have already said they will challenge Mr Trump.
David Jenkins, president of Conservatives for Responsible Stewardship, a non-profit conservation group, said: "The Trump administration's hasty move today toward expanding offshore oil drilling ... defies market realities and is as reckless as it is unnecessary."
The mayor of Langsa, in Aceh province, told the BBC that finances were tight.
"We need some help, immediately, from our national government or any other institution," said Usman Abdullah.
Thousands of people, fleeing persecution and poverty, are thought to be adrift in seas in Southeast Asia.
No country is willing to take in the migrants - who are mainly from the Rohingya ethnic minority in Myanmar. Only those whose boats sink or who reach land are being given shelter.
Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia have all been turning boats away, after giving them water and food.
Last week, Indonesian fishermen saved about 700 migrants from their sinking boat and brought them to Langsa.
Mr Abdullah said officials were using funds allocated for other uses to look after them and other migrants that had come ashore earlier.
"We [are temporarily financing] this humanitarian aid from our city budget. But in fact we have no budget for relief or emergency aid," Mr Abdullah told the BBC's Indonesian service.
"Our [financial] source is tightly limited actually."
Mr Abdullah said he had heard some aid groups were ready to help but that the city had not received any relief yet.
It is hard to imagine any governments taking a more hard-hearted stance than that in Southeast Asia towards the migrant boats off their coasts.
Malaysia has blockaded its north-western sea border to stop them entering. Thailand has hurriedly repaired boat engines and shooed them over its border, despite near starvation and illness on board.
Now fishermen in Indonesia say they have been ordered not to pick up anyone, even if they are drowning. Why? They certainly fear a deluge of migrants if they open the floodgates.
They blame Myanmar for causing this crisis through its terrible treatment of Rohingya. Myanmar refuses to accept responsibility.
But arguing over who is responsible for these migrants should not be the issue right now. Saving lives should be.
The migrants are mostly Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar, who have paid people smugglers to get to them to Malaysia where they hope to find work.
But Malaysia says it has taken in tens of thousands of Rohingya over the past few years and cannot cope with more.
Prime Minister Najib Razak said on Sunday that Malaysia was "very sympathetic towards those who were floating in the open seas" but that it "must not be burdened with this problem as there are thousands more waiting to flee from their regions".
Officials from the three countries are due to meet on Wednesday to discuss the crisis, and have stressed that Myanmar must play a role in stopping the migrants fleeing in the first place.
Myanmar, however, is refusing to accept blame for the crisis, and has said it may not attend the conference.
Why has this crisis erupted?
Why are so many Rohingya stranded at sea?
Myanmar's unwanted people
Aid groups say there are still thousands of migrants stranded at sea and that the situation is becoming increasingly desperate.
The group rescued off Aceh told the BBC that about 100 had died among them after a fight broke out on board over the last remaining food. Three men separately said people were stabbed, hanged or thrown overboard.
Meanwhile, at least five boats, together carrying up to 1,000 people, are also reported to have been moored off the coast of Myanmar's Rakhine state.
The UN, which considers the Rohingya one of the most persecuted ethnic groups in the world, has urged all parties to uphold their obligation to help anyone in distress at sea.
The family of two of the victims was said to be "furious" after the theme park's parent company claimed it had offered assistance.
Ardent Leisure's CEO, Deborah Thomas, has promised to donate her bonus to the victims' families via the Red Cross.
Plans to reopen the park on Friday for a memorial will now not go ahead.
Dreamworld said in a statement that police had advised they needed more time to complete their investigation.
The victims have been named as Kate Goodchild, 32, her brother Luke Dorsett, 35, Mr Dorsett's partner, Roozbeh Araghi, 38, and Cindy Low, a 42-year-old New Zealand citizen who lived in Sydney.
They died when their raft on the Thunder River Rapids ride collided with another and flipped over.
A 10-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, who media reports say were related to the victims, were also on the raft. They were thrown free and survived.
Dreamworld: Who were the victims?
Ardent Leisure were scrutinised in the media for proceeding with a scheduled annual general meeting in Sydney on Thursday morning where Ms Thomas was awarded her performance bonus for the past financial year.
At an emotionally charged news briefing afterwards, the chief executive said the company had "finally made contact with the Dorsett family" to offer assistance.
But Ten News reporter Melinda Nucifora told Ms Thomas that the Dorsett family was watching on TV and had texted to say they were "furious" at the suggestion.
"They say that they've had no direct contact whatsoever. No one's even reached out to them," Ms Nucifora said.
Ms Thomas clarified her comments to say the company had been in touch through police, but had not spoken directly to the family "because we didn't know how to contact them" and asked for their phone number.
The visibly emotional executive finished the news conference by addressing the family directly, to give her "sincere sympathies for what you must be going through".
"Our hearts and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. And I will be calling you to see what assistance we can offer you."
Ms Thomas announced late on Thursday she was donating 100% of her A$167,500 (£100,000; $125,000) annual bonus "directed to support people affected by this tragic event" through the Red Cross.
Ardent Leisure has defended its safety record and added that the Thunder River Rapids ride had recently passed its annual safety inspection.
However, legal commentators have already speculated that the firm's directors could face serious legal consequences.
"Cases like this generally aren't just freak accidents, it's generally a series of events or something has actually gone wrong to result in such a significant catastrophic event," Brisbane-based personal injury lawyer Alison Barrett told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
"If Dreamworld is prosecuted, the highest penalty is up to A$3 million for a corporation. So Dreamworld itself, and then the directors themselves can also be held personally liable and face up to five years in jail and other hefty penalties."
Last month 174 people who worked in traditionally-female roles won a ruling at the Supreme Court over the pay.
The £757m includes claims by that group and hundreds of other city council workers.
The remaining money the council still has to pay out is budgeted into the £600m it says it has to save by 2017.
Council leader Sir Albert Bore said the equal pay ruling had left the Labour-run council in a "horrendous position financially".
He reiterated warnings that entire services run by the authority, which has an annual budget of about £1bn, would have to be "decommissioned" to meet the budget shortfall.
He said he also expected the figures of claims to rise "but by how much, we don't know".
Sir Albert refused to give a figure of how many people could potentially submit claims.
The council leader said the authority could only afford to borrow £429m of the £757m figure without having to get special dispensation from the government to take out more loans.
The equal pay settlement figures were released publicly for the first time as part of a report to council chiefs by auditors Grant Thornton.
The council said at the end of March it still had to pay out £541m of the total £757m in claims.
It has predicted that by 2015-16 the council will have to pay about £75m a year to finance the debt.
The group of 174 former employees - all but four of them women - were dubbed the Abdulla Group after the woman whose name was at the top of the list, won the court ruling in October, which could have implications for other workers.
The former staff had worked in such jobs as cooks, cleaners and care staff for the council and had discovered they had been denied bonuses given to staff in traditionally male-dominated roles such as refuse collectors and street cleaners.
By Kathryn HamlettBBC News Online, West Midlands
Sir Albert Bore is getting used to delivering bad news.
Three weeks ago he revealed how the council was having to make £600m of cuts over six years - £200m more than originally thought.
At Monday's press briefing he kept using "horrendous" to describe the position the council found itself in after the equal pay ruling.
The £757m figure includes the claims made by the Abdulla group and also another large group of former workers.
The council says they account for by far the majority of the claims it has - and will - receive.
But legal experts had said last month's ruling could have "huge implications" for not just Birmingham, but other councils and private firms.
So how much more could Birmingham's council have to pay out in the future?
Council leaders say they have a figure of how many people are potentially eligible - but are too coy to reveal it publicly.
The Supreme Court rejected the council's argument the claims should have been submitted through an employment tribunal within a six-month time limit of leaving their jobs.
Joan Clulow, 71, was one of the women who was part of the Abdulla group and worked as a home carer for the city council in Bartley Green and Weoley Castle for 27 years.
She said: "The council could have saved an awful lot of money if they had listened to us in the first place.
"I worked hard - I worked on Christmas Day, whenever they wanted me to. I don't feel guilty at all.
"I did a good job and I enjoyed my job - I deserved that pay."
Sir Albert said the city council was not the only authority in that situation, and that the Abdulla ruling had "implications for many more in the public and private sector".
However, he added the council was committed to abiding with the law.
A series of public meetings is due to start in the next few weeks to get taxpayers' views on which services should be cut.
The council leader said he had now ruled out holding a referendum among voters about whether to increase council tax by more than 1.6%.
The 38-year-old will become the first gay taoiseach and will also be the country's youngest ever leader.
Mr Varadkar beat his rival, Housing Minister Simon Coveney, with 60% of the votes to lead Fine Gael - the biggest party in the coalition government.
He will succeed Enda Kenny as leader of the centre-right party within weeks.
Varadkar profiled: Ireland's youngest PM in waiting
The former GP is the son of an Irish nurse and a doctor from India and much of the media coverage of his victory has focused on Mr Varadkar's background, age and sexuality.
The former first minister of Northern Ireland, DUP leader Arlene Foster, has spoken on the phone to congratulate Mr Varadkar. He has also received a letter from Prime Minister Theresa May.
Following the announcement on Friday evening, the new Fine Gael leader said he was "honoured" to accept the "enormous challenge" ahead of him with humility.
"If my election shows anything it's that prejudice has no hold in this Republic," he said.
"When my father travelled 5,000 miles to build a new home in Ireland, I doubt he ever dreamed his son would grow up to be its leader."
He said Simon Coveney had gained his and the party's admiration for his "principled and spirited" campaign and he looked forward to working with him to bring Fine Gael and Ireland forward.
"Any child growing up in Ireland now, I hope, looks at me and my unlikely story and my background, and everything about me, and perhaps says to themselves, that there is no office in this state that I can't aspire to, nothing that they can't do if they believe in themselves," he said.
"But our job as a party is to make sure that every person in our country actually has those opportunities, because we don't have equality of opportunity in this country, there is great inequality of opportunity in this country, but as a party I want to dedicate ourselves to building a republic of opportunity."
He said restoring devolution in Northern Ireland and dealing with Brexit would be immediate priorities.
"Northern Ireland will leave the European Union with the United Kingdom, but we do think there should be special arrangements for Northern Ireland," he said.
"It is a special place and we would like to work with the new executive when it is formed to define what that is.
"But particularly, what we'd like to see is there to remain as close a relationship as possible between the north and south of Ireland and an invisible or non-existent economic border in particular and Northern Ireland remaining in as many EU programmes as possible."
Mr Varadkar also paid tribute to Mr Kenny for passing on a party and country "in a much better place than he found it".
The leadership was decided in an electoral college system that gave 65% of the vote to the Fine Gael parliamentary party - made up of 73 TDs (members of the Irish assembly), senators and MEPs.
The party's 21,000 rank-and-file members had 25% of the vote, and 235 local representatives had 10%.
Mr Varadkar, who came out as gay in the run up to the 2015 same-sex marriage referendum, has been in charge of the welfare system.
He has come to personify the liberalisation of a country which was once regarded as one of Europe's most socially conservative nations - homosexuality was illegal until 1993.
However, Mr Varadkar has come under criticism for his comments on progressive issues and workers' rights.
The new Fine Gael leader will have to be endorsed by the independent members of the minority coalition government before he becomes taoiseach. That's expected to happen later this month.
Enda Kenny, 66, who led the party for 15 years and was elected taoiseach in 2011, resigned as Fine Gael leader in May.
Voting took place this week around the country.
Mr Coveney joked that "my children will be pleased" that he lost.
"My message is very clear - it's one of unity", he said, adding that Fine Gael "needs to be stronger, not in any way divided. This is a great party"
He said Mr Varadkar had "the potential to be a hugely successful leader of this party" and said he would do everything he could to make that happen
The train was designed by architect Kazuyo Sejima and has semi-transparent and mirrored surfaces to help it blend into the background.
The company who make the trains said that they wanted the carriages to feel like a living room, so that passengers can feel relaxed.
It's expected to be rolled out in 2018.
Japan often uses the latest technology on its trains, which are considered some of the best and quickest in the world.
The attack took place in Gloucester Street at about 02:00 BST on Saturday 8 April.
Det Insp Zoe McKee said officers want to identify a man they believe can assist the investigation.
"He is described as around 19 years old, 5' 7" tall, thin, clean shaven with short dark hair," she said.
Police also want to hear from witnesses who saw a "distressed" woman in the area around the time of the attack.
Djodjo Nsaka, 19 from Streatham, died in Fulton Road, north-west London, after he was attacked shortly after 01:00 GMT on Friday.
The two men, both aged 21, were arrested on Wednesday evening and are in custody.
A 20-year-old man has already been charged with Mr Nsaka's murder.
A post-mortem test found the business studies student, who was attending the University of Middlesex, died from a single stab wound to the chest.
Deputy Sports Minister Joseph Yamin told Ghanaian radio station Citi FM the players "insisted" on cash payments.
He added: "The government had to mobilise the money and a chartered flight to Brazil."
Ghana must beat Portugal in their final Group G game on Thursday to have any chance of staying at the World Cup.
And even a win would not be enough to put Ghana through to the knockout phase if United States and Germany were to draw their match.
Earlier this week, there were rumours the Black Stars could boycott training ahead of the game if their demand for payment was not met.
As unrest grew in the Ghana camp, Ghana President John Dramani Mahama personally assured the players they would receive their money.
A statement from the Ghana Football Association said: "The government is pre-financing the payment of the Black Stars appearance fees, which will be reimbursed when Fifa's prize money for Ghana's participation in the World Cup is paid."
Staffordshire Bull Terrier Loula's owners initially thought she had gulped down a pen, but later realised it was the 12in (30cm) projectile.
Vets operated to remove the arrow, which had become lodged in Loula's stomach and gastrointestinal tract.
"We never expected the foreign body to be so large," said veterinary nurse Jane Lewis.
"Initially we believed Loula may have swallowed a pen as her owners found a chewed pen lid," said Ms Lewis, of Manor Veterinary Clinic, Folkestone.
"She is recovering well from her ordeal and is now resting at home with her family who are delighted with her progress," she added.
Owner Luke Ponter said Loula had eaten her breakfast but came into the living room and started to choke.
"I took the kids to school, came home and she was pretty bad, couldn't breathe. I just thought, take her to the vets."
Mr Ponter said the vet felt her belly and immediately said she needed an operation.
"I panicked a bit, I didn't think she was going to come home again. It saved her life," he said.

Based in the small city of Vigo (population 200,000) in the wet and windy region of Galicia in the north-west of Spain, close to the Portuguese border, Celta are by no means one of the traditional powerhouses of Spanish football.
The club spent much of its existence bouncing between Spain's top two divisions before an outbreak of success in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when players such as Alexander Mostovoi, Valery Karpin and future Chelsea star Claude Makelele inspired a strong few seasons including a fourth-placed finish in La Liga in 2003.
But Celta then suffered dire financial problems, coming very close to entering administration, and spent five years in the Segunda Division before returning to the top flight in 2012.
They have never won a major trophy but have been getting closer in recent years, reaching the Copa del Rey semi-final in each of the last two seasons and now also progressing to their first European semi-final.
The meeting with United has understandably sparked great excitement among fans, with all tickets for the home leg selling out last week.
But the tie comes against the dark backdrop of a row with the local council over the ownership of their Balaidos stadium, with club president Carlos Mourino threatening to move to another town.
Celta manager Eduardo Berizzo might not find the red carpet rolled out by United's recently unveiled partners, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender charity Stonewall, after he once made headlines with homophobic comments about his time as a player in France at Marseille.
In purely footballing terms, though, Berizzo has done an excellent job at Celta since taking over from Barcelona-bound Luis Enrique in the summer of 2014, leading the team to eighth- and sixth-place finishes and instilling an open, entertaining style of play.
His team sit 11th in La Liga with a 4-3 home win over Barcelona back in October one of the highlights of the season.
The 47-year-old Argentine spent the latter stages of his playing days with Celta, and later started his managerial career as coaching guru Marcelo Bielsa's assistant with the Chilean national team before going solo to win a Chilean league title with O'Higgins in 2013.
He generally employs a 4-2-3-1 formation and - like all Bielsa protegees - prefers a fast-paced game with emphasis upon retaining possession (this season Celta rank sixth in La Liga with an average of 52.2% possession per game), and pressing the opposition high up the pitch.
Berizzo's achievements with Celta have seen him linked with bigger clubs, and the fact he is out of contract in the summer has sparked rumours of a possible move to Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla or Valencia, who are all likely to have vacancies at the end of the season.
Celta's strike force is led by two men who previously played for United's fiercest local rivals: ex-Liverpool man Iago Aspas, 29, and 25-year-old Swedish powerhouse John Guidetti, who started his professional career at Manchester City.
Aspas struggled at Anfield, failing to score in any of his 14 Premier League outings for the Reds, and also underperformed in a subsequent loan spell at Sevilla, but he has been reinvigorated since returning to Celta for a second spell with his hometown club.
The relentlessly hard-working forward is very much his boyhood team's symbolic leader, and his 17 league goals so far this season make him the highest-scoring Spaniard in La Liga - he also has netted five in Celta's Europa League campaign.
That form has earned Aspas call-ups into the Spain squad, and his first goal at international level came with an excellent strike into the top corner in last year's friendly draw against England at Wembley.
Despite his ill-fated Liverpool days, United fans should be wary whenever the ball comes onto his left foot within shooting range.
Guidetti was once tipped as a major star (especially by himself … he is not lacking in self-confidence) but has endured a rather nomadic career to date, joining City at the age of 16 before being sent to five different clubs on loan, including Burnley, Stoke and Celtic.
He has done reasonably well since joining Celta on a free transfer two years ago, and his blend of physical power, technical ability and a cocky demeanour has long encouraged many Swedish fans to regard him as the natural heir to Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the focal point of the national team's forward line.
However, there are also plenty who are gradually losing faith with Guidetti, wondering whether he will ever consistently fulfil his undoubted potential. A European semi-final against Manchester United would be a good place to prove he can.
Celta are also blessed with a lot of talent in midfield, with the ammunition for Aspas and Guidetti coming from a trio of highly regarded performers who are candidates to earn moves to bigger clubs before too long.
United fans with good memories will already be familiar with Danish international winger Pione Sisto, who scored for his previous club Midtjylland in their first-leg victory over United in last season's Europa League. He also netted the opener in the return leg at Old Trafford, but United bounced back to win 5-1 and go through 6-3 on aggregate.
The talented 22 year-old has not always been a regular starter for Celta this season, but he played a major part in their Europa League campaign by scoring in both legs of the quarter-final victory over Genk, including a screamer in the second leg to secure their progression.
Another threat from wide positions is provided by 21-year-old Belgian Theo Bongonda, whose ability to beat defenders with ease is often let down by an erratic final ball. Although he is not consistent, Bongonda is a major threat, especially on the break.
Celta's key player in terms of knitting together the midfield and attack is another Dane, Daniel Wass, a versatile performer who occasionally operates wide but now more often plays 'in the hole' behind the frontman, creating spaces in the opposition defence with his excellent technique and ability to read the game.
And watch out for the two full-backs, Jonny Castro and Hugo Mallo, who are both good on the ball and more than capable of getting forward to support their wingers in attack.
There is little danger that Celta will be overawed by facing the might of Manchester United, because they boast a decent record against Spain's biggest clubs in the last few years.
For starters, the Galicians are the only team to have beaten Barcelona three times during Luis Enrique's time in charge at the Nou Camp, including 4-1 and 4-3 home wins in the last two league campaigns.
Celta also knocked Real Madrid out of this season's Copa del Rey, following up a 2-1 first leg victory at the Bernabeu with a frantic and nervy 2-2 draw in the return meeting.
And they conquered Atletico Madrid in last season's cup, again over two legs, notably becoming only the second visiting team to score three goals in a cup tie at Atletico's Vicente Calderon stadium during Diego Simeone's five years in charge (the first was Barcelona).
So, big-name opposition are no cause of fear for Celta, who will certainly not head into their encounter with United sharing the bookmakers' view that they are major underdogs.
Witnesses described seeing Sandra Redknapp, 69, get her coat caught under the car as her husband pulled away.
The Sun newspaper reported Mrs Redknapp "yelling in pain" as she fell to the ground in Poole Road, Bournemouth.
The wife of the former Tottenham Hotspur manager was rushed to hospital on Tuesday after the "freak accident".
The Sun reported that Mrs Redknapp had been dropped off at the shops by her husband in his Range Rover when she got her coat and foot caught.
Mr Redknapp, also 69, had been dropping his wife off in Westbourne, which is four miles away from the couple's £5m home in Sandbanks and reportedly didn't realise that his wife was stuck and drove away.
Speaking to the BBC, the former Bournemouth, West Ham and Portsmouth boss said: "It was just a freak accident you know.
"Sandra went across the road and unfortunately she had gone behind the car to cross over the road and as I went to drive off I drove over her ankle.
"Its lucky, if the full weight of the car had gone over the ankle god knows what would have happened to her. We're ok.
"She had an operation on her ankle that went well."
South Western Ambulance Service confirmed crews were called to Poole Road, in the Westbourne area, at 11:49 BST.
Witness Rebecca Forrester from Bournemouth said she saw Mrs Redknapp's coat get caught underneath the vehicle.
She said: "People were really concerned and Harry was quite stressed, she was shocked and couldn't move her legs.
"It was obvious she was seriously hurt. I didn't realise until after who it was. It was obviously an accident."
The couple returned home 24 hours after the accident took place and Mrs Redknapp was pictured walking on crutches with her right leg in a cast.

The visually impaired 18-year-old, GB's youngest athlete at the Sochi 2014 Paralympics, completed the course in one minute 13.42 seconds.
Five-time Paralympic champion Henrieta Farkasova of Slovakia was 1.2secs behind in second.
"That felt amazing," Knight told BBC Sport.
There was a moment of concern for Knight at the end of her run when she hit the crash barrier and became lodged under it. She had to be treated by doctors after feeling dizzy and sick, but is set to be fit for her second competition on Thursday.
Team-mate Menna Fitzpatrick and guide Jennifer Kehoe were fifth.
Knight has dominated the World Cup circuit in recent months, winning 11 medals - seven of them gold.
The Canterbury skier claimed silver and bronze medals in technical events - slalom and giant slalom - at the 2015 World Championships as she was too young to compete in speed events.
"I love the downhill and speed is definitely my strength," she said.
"It was an amazing feeling to win, but we came here just thinking about doing our best and not winning the medals, but we've done it all and I'm so chuffed."
Wales' Fitzpatrick won the overall World Cup title in her debut season last year but broke a hand before this campaign and only returned to training in December.
"Today was so much fun and that's what downhill racing should be about," she told BBC Sport.
"I think my expectations were a bit high after the injury and I expected a bit too much too soon, but we're making progress and I'm learning all of the time."
James Whitley, Britain's other competitor in action on Wednesday, finished 12th in the men's standing event.
GB's first Winter Paralympic champion, Kelly Gallagher, was forced to withdraw after dislocating an elbow and breaking three ribs during a training run on Monday.
World gold demonstrates why the British team are so excited about Millie Knight's prospects at next year's Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang.
Historical records aren't complete for many Paralympic sports, but GB officials are confidently claiming Knight's success is Britain's first-ever World Para skiing title - an incredible achievement.
With four-time Paralympic medallist Jade Etherington retiring after Sochi 2014 and Paralympic gold medallist Kelly Gallagher struggling with injuries and form since her previous guide - Charlotte Evans - retired, Knight shows GB can still excel on the snow.
And the talented teenager will be back in the hunt for another honour in the Super G event on Thursday.
The nation hopes June's election will produce a government strong enough to conduct the tough Brexit negotiations, promote wider trading partnerships and maintain our security. Only in a secure environment can we develop new relationships and thrive. Sadly, that security is threatened in almost every corner of the globe.
The newly elected prime minister will be confronted with the need for a brutally honest appreciation of the budget for and capabilities of the UK's armed forces. A number of issues lead to this conclusion, not least the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report on defence equipment procurement of 25 April.
The 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) went a long way to restore the damage inflicted on Britain's defences by the 2010 Review. SDSR 15 charted a praiseworthy path towards our future security which, post referendum, with the need to seek wider world trading agreements, is ever more essential.
But, while the policy remains in place, events have shown that the necessary funding is simply not there to give it substance. Responses by the MOD to questions about the adequacy of the defence budget raised by respected and informed commentators have been disingenuous, evading the issue by the relentless quoting of irrelevant financial statistics.
The following issues must be addressed:
The armed services are having to seek further very damaging savings in manpower, support and training at a time when the likelihood of combat operations is increasing. These realities of the security situation must be faced. They have been largely kept from public debate despite the efforts of the media and the valedictory messages of recently serving senior officers, pointing out how equipment and manpower shortages undermine Britain's ability to fight even a local war. Recent Royal United Services Institute war gaming confirms this view.
There may be a temptation to call for another Defence Review. We urge you not to do this. SDSR 15, as is widely recognised, set the right path for our long term security. The Labour government's excellent review of 1998 was later weakened by budgetary infighting involving the then chancellor. Let us not go down that devious political path again. The solution is simple: fund the review properly and if this means a commitment to increase expenditure over the lifetime of the Parliament, then do it. There can be no better foundation for a future which demands an outward looking and globally trading United Kingdom. Reversing any part of it will damage our international credibility, weaken our chances of forging strong global partnerships and further erode our ability to defend ourselves and our allies.

The couple became stranded in a cove near the Barrowfields in Newquay, Cornwall, on Saturday evening.
The woman was rescued unhurt by the RNLI's Newquay inshore lifeboat, with the help of the local coastguard team.
A surfer, who had gone to the woman's aid before emergency services arrived, was also rescued.
An RNLI spokesperson said the lifeboat crew had to use the boat's emergency oars to gauge the depth of water and negotiate large submerged rocks in a one-metre swell to rescue the woman.
The awards of the 2018 and 2022 events to Russia and Qatar have been tainted by allegations of corruption.
Infantino, who was elected Fifa boss last month, wants to begin bidding for the 2026 World Cup within three months.
"We have to get the 2026 bidding process absolutely right," Infantino told BBC Sport.
"It's certainly the commitment that I want to give; that I will do everything I can to make sure that this happens because I think that the credibility of Fifa is, as well, at stake here.
"We need to make sure that we do everything we possibly can, not only to prevent strange things to happen around bidding processes but also to prevent the perception that strange things could happen.
"We need to make sure that bidding process that we put in place is absolutely bullet-proof."

Every World Cup bidding process since 1998 has been the subject of allegations of corruption and bribery.
The bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments is the subject of an ongoing Swiss criminal investigation, while there is also a US inquiry following the arrest and indictment of several top Fifa executives by the US Department of Justice on corruption charges.
In October last year, Blatter appeared to suggest there had been an agreement in place for Russia to host the event - before the vote took place.
On Friday, a report into 2006 World Cup corruption allegations failed to completely rule out the possibility that a payment of 6.7m euros from the German football federation (DFB) to world governing body Fifa in April 2005 was used to buy votes.

Infantino, 45, was elected as Fifa chief following the suspension of predecessor Blatter, who had been in charge of the governing body since 1998.
Following his election, the former Uefa boss denied that promises to the United States over who would host the 2026 World Cup secured his election win.
He insisted it was now time to focus on making the next two World Cups a success.
"I am a pragmatic person," he said. "Fifa needs to deliver two World Cups, one in two years and one in six years, for decisions which have been taken six years ago.
"There has been a lot of speculation and a lot of allegations but not one single fact, in six years. At some stage we have to say 'let's focus on working'. I want to work and help Russia and Qatar host the best World Cups ever, as we always say."

The system was successfully trialled at the Club World Cup in December, and is being used for this summer's Confederations Cup.
Fifa president Sepp Blatter had previously stated his commitment to bringing in goal-line technology for the tournament in Brazil.
Fifa has invited tenders to provide the system.

Blatter has pushed for goal-line technology ever since he watched Frank Lampard denied a legitimate goal in England's defeat by Germany in the 2010 World Cup.
He subsequently said "sorry" for the mistake caused by Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda failing to spot the midfielder's shot had bounced over the line.
Blatter also insisted video technology was a "necessity" after a controversial incident in England's 1-0 win over Euro 2012 opponents Ukraine helped eliminate the co-hosts. Ukraine forward Marko Devic's shot crossed England's goal-line but a goal was not awarded.
Both Goalref and Hawkeye were used at the Club World Cup and have Fifa approval.
Goalref works by using magnetic sensors to determine whether the ball crossed the line, while Hawkeye uses a number of cameras.
Two German firms are also likely to bid, with the tender expected to be awarded by early April.
A Fifa statement said: "After a successful implementation of Goal-Line Technology (GLT) at the Club World Cup in Japan in December 2012, Fifa has decided to use GLT at the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
"The aim is to use GLT in order to support the match officials and to install a system in all stadia, pending the successful installation, and pre-match referee tests."
City, trailing 3-1 on aggregate, needed at least three goals at Stade de Lyon to progress, but failed to get a shot on target before the break.
Jill Scott and Lloyd both tested Lyon's Sarah Bouhaddi before a stray pass from the keeper allowed Lloyd to rifle home.
In a tense, physical second half Lyon did enough to prevail 3-2 on aggregate.
The win at the home of the French and European champions brought an end to the Sky Blues' maiden Champions League campaign, but they are already assured of a spot in next season's competition after winning the Women's Super League title in 2016.
With a defence made up of three England internationals bound for Euro 2017 in July, they did well to quell the French attack, spearheaded by Eugenie Le Sommer, which caused them so many problems in the first leg.
Le Sommer had an effort ruled out for offside in the second half, and the biggest scare City had before Lloyd's goal saw Karen Bardsley scramble to ensure Steph Houghton did not concede an own goal.
Even with two-time Women's World Player of the Year Lloyd headlining their Champions League bid, and with eight of the Lionesses who are headed to Euro 2017, the Citizens failed to become the first British team in 10 years to reach a European final.
No British women's side has reached a final since Arsenal lifted the old Uefa Women's Cup in 2007, and City are the third different British club to exit the Women's Champions League at the last-four stage since the competition was rebranded in 2009-10.

Alastair Main, 35 a City lawyer and ex-London Rowing Club captain, is accused of assaulting the woman at a club Christmas dinner on 16 December.
He denies racially aggravated common assault and sexual assault.
The woman, 27, said he had called her an offensive name before the assault.
Speaking behind a screen at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court, the woman said she had turned down Mr Main's request for a hug.
She told the court Mr Main followed her into a separate room, where she was crouched down rearranging her bag.
It was there, she said, he poured a beer over her, leaving her "drenched", before calling her a "slut".
She said Mr Main then followed her to the toilets of the club, where she had gone to clean herself up, and assaulted her.
"I was in shock. He was just pulling my hair and slapping my head and pushing me around," she said.
"He pulled my skirt up, still calling me a slut, and asked me if I was wearing any knickers."
Describing the alleged assault in the toilet, prosecuting lawyer Paul Douglass said Mr Main had lifted her skirt and "smacked her approximately five times on the backside".
The woman said Mr Main then followed her out of the club, where he pushed her up against a truck.
His friend intervened and she left, the court heard.
Defence lawyer Eloise Marshall argued Mr Main had not slapped the woman after lifting the skirt and suggested she may have "exaggerated" the incident.
The woman strongly denied the allegation.
Jacqueline Grosch, a London Rowing Club member who was at the event, told the court Mr Main was "pacing around" and said the victim appeared "intimidated".
She said his demeanour on the night had been "particularly scary".
The trial was adjourned until 3 January.
Mr Main, from Kingston-Upon-Thames, was the club captain between 2013 and 2014.

The video, filmed by Peter Teahan, was taken in Falvey's Pub, Killorglin, County Kerry after the funeral of Ger 'Farmer' Foley.
The former nationalist leader spoke after his successor Nicola Sturgeon told the BBC she was "prepared to listen" to the case for air strikes.
The position of SNP MPs could be crucial if a Commons vote is held on a fresh campaign.
The issue came to the fore following the Paris attacks which killed 129.
Downing Street said there was still no timetable for a vote on extending UK military action but it was thought it could happen before Christmas.
The SNP unanimously opposed UK military action in Syria at its conference in Aberdeen last month.
Mr Salmond said the UK government had not yet made a convincing case for joining military action against so-called Islamic State.
In a BBC interview he said: "We haven't heard in the SNP benches anything yet that would convince us that being the thirteenth country to start bombing in Syria is going to make any material difference whatsoever to anything.
"What we'd like to hear is far, far more about diplomatic initiatives through the United Nations and also the real practical things like interrupting the financial flows into Daesh to actually make a material difference to what's happening in the Middle East."
Mr Salmond said the role of the United Nations was important because it was regarded as the "voice of the international community".
He added that the involvement of the UN "would be a condition of the SNP looking at this issue [air strikes in Syria]".
When asked by Andrew Neil of the BBC's Daily Politics if his main condition of air strikes was a UN resolution, the MP said "yes it was".
Mr Salmond added: "The reason for a UN resolution being a precondition, not just of this conflict but of the SNP's approach to many conflicts, is without that resolution you can't bring about peace."
However, Ms Sturgeon, who is marking her first anniversary as first minister, told BBC Scotland she was willing to consider what David Cameron had to say.
She explained: "I'm not yet convinced the case for air strikes has been made. That is not to say I will not listen to the case that David Cameron will make.
"But Syria, and I know David Cameron understands this, is a horrendously complex situation and it is not a case of Isil against everybody else.
"We have a complicated, multi-layer civil war going on in Syria as well as the threat that is posed by Isil so I think there are some tests that require to be passed in order for the case for air strikes to be made."
Ms Sturgeon said these tests included the legality of any military action, as well as the question of where air strikes fitted into a "wider and bigger strategy" for combating the Islamic State group.
The MSP told the BBC's Glenn Campbell: "If there is not to be a security council resolution - and he made comments in the House of Commons about what he saw as being the difficulty with that - then he has to outline what he considers to be the legal basis."
She added: "I think it is incumbent on the prime minister if he is going to bring forward a proposal for air strikes to the House of Commons that he makes that case and that he addresses these key points that are not just being raised by the SNP but by the foreign affairs committee in the House of Commons itself."
And, like Mr Salmond, she questioned whether air strikes in Syria, being carried out by countries including France and the US, were making the situation better or worse.
Speaking in the Commons on Wednesday, Mr Cameron made it clear that he believed the UK could take military action in Syria without the explicit authority of the United Nations Security Council.
The prime minister stressed that while a UN Security Council resolution would be welcome, he believed it was not necessary and he would not "outsource to Russian veto" decisions about Britain's safety.
The UK government is said to be increasingly confident it can convince enough MPs in the Commons to back military action in Syria.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Tuesday that any military response should have the support of the international community and legality from the United Nations, but he has faced criticism from many of his own MPs for his refusal to back further UK involvement.
The British number one, ranked 32 in the world, was scheduled to face Belgian Yanina Wickmayer, the world number 59, on Monday.
But Robson, 19, withdrew shortly before the match and was replaced in the draw by lucky loser Bethanie Mattek-Sands.
Robson, who reached the last 16 at Wimbledon, will aim to recover before the US Open starts on 26 August.
After a spell of high-altitude training in Flagstaff, Arizona, Muir will race in the women's 1500m.
Fellow Scot Andrew Butchart takes on four-time Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah in a congested field of 28 runners in the men's 5,000m.
Lynsey Sharp, the in-form Chris O'Hare and Eilish McColgan are also in action.
Last year's Diamond League series winner Muir, 24, has the fastest personal best time in a competitive field, with over half of the competitors posting best times of sub-four minutes.
Meanwhile, Butchart could better his own Scottish record of 13.08.61 in Oregon, with half the field boasting a global medal in track, cross country or road running.
In the women's 800m, Sharp will be hoping to open her account proper. After descending from Flagstaff, a bout of altitude sickness meant she failed to finish last week's race in Eagle Rock, California.
Following a week at sea level, Sharp will take on the formidable South African Caster Semenya - a double Olympic champion who set the season's fastest time of 1.56.61 in Doha earlier this month.
In the international mile race, O'Hare arrives in the form of his life - just last week, he achieved a personal best and qualifying time for the London World Championships in August.
The event begins on Friday night with Ethiopia's Genzebe Dibaba chasing the world record in the women's 5,000m. Also in the impressive field is European indoor bronze medallist McColgan, who was a finalist at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Councils controlling Birmingham, Walsall, Sandwell, Wolverhampton, Solihull and Dudley have already backed the plan.
The aim is for the authority to be set up by April following a consultation including the government.
It would follow a similar formation to Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
Powers to be granted to the WMCA are still being negotiated but may include the ability to increase council tax and collect and spend business rates.
Coventry City Council's Labour group unanimously voted in favour of joining, but the Conservatives presented a motion calling for closer working with the county of Warwickshire.
The decision to join WMCA was passed by 32 votes to 12.
Roy Hodgson's side breezed through their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign with 10 straight wins - but this friendly was a reality check as their flaws were exposed by the reigning champions.
England held out for 72 minutes until Mario scored with a superb acrobatic finish from Cesc Fabregas' cross before Arsenal's Santi Cazorla slotted in a late second.
It was a harsh lesson for England and evidence of the gap they must bridge before France next summer, their misery increasing when Michael Carrick was taken off on a stretcher in stoppage time.
Not very well.
This was a chance for England to make a mark against quality opposition but where was the ambition in manager Roy Hodgson's game plan? If there was any serious attacking ambition - and this was a friendly after all - it was difficult to detect.
England emerged from this friendly, against significantly tougher opposition than any they faced in their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, with little credit.
Spain looked a class above an experimental line-up and at times England looked in awe, sitting back as the passing 'carousel' constructed by players of the pedigree of Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets weaved its way around them.
If England can take something away from this defeat, it is that this was a brutal example of what they need to overcome if they hope to make an impact at the sharp end of next summer's European Championship.
While mistakes may go unpunished against the likes of Lithuania, San Marino and Estonia, there is no margin for error when they face a team of the calibre of Spain.
England's manager is fond of the combinations in his team - and this was surely a chance missed to road test a partnership that could be vital in France next summer.
There was general astonishment when the team-sheet landed and Manchester United duo Chris Smalling and Phil Jones were paired in central defence, meaning Everton's John Stones was absent.
Hodgson appears keen to get Jones into his side in a variety of positions - but he surely cannot be seriously considered as a potential starter in France.
Stones is emerging as a player of genuine class, so it was a puzzle that he was not paired with the rapidly-maturing Smalling in what may well be Hodgson's first-choice selection next summer.
Harry Kane justified his selection up front but the likes of Fabian Delph and Kyle Walker suggested they will be shadow squad men and not much more.
And what a miserable night for Carrick, given the chance to show he can influence England games against opposition of elite standard.
As so often in a strangely disappointing England career, he disappeared into complete anonymity, his misery completed by a late injury.
Spain may not be the side that ruled world football in that golden era between 2008 and 2012 when they claimed the European Championship twice and the World Cup but they still have quality to spare.
When you look at their bench and see David de Gea, Juan Mata, Pedro, Koke and Santi Cazorla - and they were without the injured David Silva, Sergio Ramos, Isco and Juanfran - it speaks eloquently of their class.
One big problem is finding a striker. Chelsea's Diego Costa has yet to make his mark at this level and that struggle continued here.
England host France in a friendly at Wembley on Tuesday, while Spain are away to Belgium on the same day.
England manager Roy Hodgson:
"If you really want to keep your unbeaten record going, playing Spain away isn't one of your best decisions. Especially with so many players unavailable. But it was a game we wanted.
"There are lessons that we have to learn. We played a very strong Spanish team, they deservedly won the game. Our confidence won't be too badly dented.
"We hope we don't take it to heart that we lost to a good team after a good 70 minutes.
"We have to make certain that we learn our lessons from the game but I have no reason to be hyper-critical of the players."
Spain boss Vicente del Bosque:
"I think we have been a bit lucky and we have given a bit more than the England team at the moment.
"This is a good win for Spain. We could say this was a prestige result against an England team who were very strong and very threatening every time they crossed over the line into our half of the pitch.
"We defended well and were strong against a team who were, once again, were very strong and very threatening."

The 27-year-old joined Saints from Hull FC in 2013 after he came through the ranks with Salford Red Devils.
He has scored 200 points in his 107 outings at Langtree Park and won the Grand Final in 2014.
"We'd like to thank Jordan for his commitment and effort in the red vee," said chief executive Mike Rush.
"His professionalism is second to none and we're sure he will want to finish his Saints career on a high this year."
Turner will link up with England duo Elliott Whitehead and Josh Hodgson at Canberra, in addition to former Saints teammate Sia Soliola.
UN humanitarian coordinator Jan Egeland said officials had so far only managed to get aid to 160,000 people.
Children in at least three areas were so malnourished they would die if they do not get aid, he said.
Mr Egeland called on all sides to allow humanitarian access.
There had been hopes of an increase in aid deliveries to besieged areas when the Syrian government and opposition groups agreed a partial ceasefire in February.
But the cessation of hostilities proved fragile and there has since been a surge of violence in the country.
Mr Egeland said delivering aid had been far harder than anticipated.
"Even in areas where we had full approval from the government, there have been infinite problems in actually reaching the places, and in others where we had conditional approvals, like Darayya, we haven't been able to reach the people at all," he said.
He warned that children were close to dying in Darayya and Muadhamiya - rebel-held suburbs of the capital, Damascus - and al-Wair near Homs.
The UN believes that of the 4.5 million people living in what it terms "hard-to-reach" areas of Syria, nearly 400,000 are besieged.
It has already resorted to air drops of food to reach 110,000 people in towns held by so-called Islamic State militants, and says it is considering doing the same for all areas in need if ground access to besieged areas continued to be denied.
The piece has been created by artist Bill Viola as a companion piece to his Martyrs (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) work, unveiled at the London church in 2014.
The video triptych features Mary with Christ on her knee in one scene, while another shows a woman breastfeeding.
Viola has exhibited other "works for sacred spaces" at Durham Cathedral and Saint Mark's Basilica in Milan, Italy.
"Mary is a universal female figure present in nearly all spiritual and religious traditions," said the US artist.
"She is the personification of the feminine principle, related to ideas of creativity, procreation, inner strength, love and compassion."
The Reverend Canon Mark Oakley, chancellor of the cathedral, called the work "a contemporary contribution to a long tradition of reflection on the life and significance of Mary".
The triptych, he continued, "encompasses the great themes of birth, relationship and death which is our shared experience of being human."
Mary can be seen, free of charge, in specially escorted timed sessions held between 11:30 and 14:15 on every day except Sunday.

Noel Jones was 18 when he was arrested over the murder of 15-year-old Janet Commins in Flint.
He admitted manslaughter and served half of his 12-year sentence but has never challenged his conviction.
Stephen Hough, 58, is now on trial at Mold Crown Court accused of Janet's rape, sexual assault, murder and manslaughter but denies the charges.
During cross examination by Mr Hough's defence barrister, Patrick Harrington QC, Jones said the contents of two confession statements he made in 1976 had been made up by officers and he was pressured into signing them.
Mr Harrington said: "You are saying you didn't say the things that were written down?"
Jones: "No sir."
Mr Harrington: "Was that the case with both of the statements?"
Jones: "Yes sir."
Mr Harrington: "So these are just things that were made up were they?"
Jones: "Yes sir."
Mr Harrington: "... to frame you for a crime you hadn't committed?"
Jones: "Yes sir."
Asked if he realised he was signing a confession to killing someone, Jones said he "didn't understand it quite at the time".
Mr Harrington read sections of the signed statements, which give detailed descriptions of the attack, including where Jones allegedly marked the spot on a map where he "caught up with" Janet.
"Where's all this come from Mr Jones?" Mr Harrington asked.
Jones: "I don't know sir."
"This statement... it's not me... I never done this thing," he continued.
The court also heard from Mr Hough's former wife Delyth Sands, who was married to him between 1982 and 1989.
Giving evidence from behind a screen, she described a conversation she had with her former husband while living in Germany, where he was serving as a soldier.
She told the court: "He said that he had killed someone and I said 'well, who have you killed?' and he said 'someone back home'."
When she continued to question him he became "quite aggressive" and told her not to ask again, she claimed.
The court heard Mrs Sands only told police about this conversation 13 days before the trial started.
It has previously heard that DNA extracted from samples from the murder scene 40 years ago matched Mr Hough's DNA profile.
The trial has been adjourned until Thursday, when the jury will be taken to Flint on a site visit.
It was hampering NI airport growth by failing to scrap or cut the APD tax, he said.
Mr O'Leary also questioned the wisdom of £7m in aid for City of Derry airport and £9m of support to rescue United Airlines' Belfast to New York service.
He said politicians would have been better using the money to tackle APD.
It is currently £13 on each UK flight.
The executive has previously ruled out abolishing APD on all flights as too expensive, as it would have to repay the Treasury for implementing the tax-break.
Mr O'Leary also questioned the long-term future of City of Derry Airport and said it was likely that, over time, Ryanair's remaining flights there would move to Belfast International.
Last week, Ryanair announced it is to axe its service to London from City of Derry Airport. Summer flights to Faro, in Portugal, are also being dropped while the airline's service to Liverpool is being reduced to twice a week.
Mr O'Leary said the UK Brexit vote has curtailed further route expansion plans from Belfast International, citing the fall in the value of sterling and the expected slowdown of the British economy.
However, the Westminster government said on Tuesday that it may intervene financially to maintain an air route from Derry to London.
In a statement, the UK's Department for Transport said the airport's operators, Derry City and Strabane Council, have been "invited to put forward proposals to keep the route open, with a value for money check to ensure the best outcome for taxpayers".
More than 125,000 people a year use the flight route, according to the department.
Minister for Aviation Lord Ahmad said: "Our airports are vital in supporting local economies, providing connections in the UK and opening up new opportunities.
"That is why the UK government has agreed in principle to support the air route between City of Derry Airport and London.
"In terms of process, it is important that Derry City and Strabane District Council take forward the tender process to secure this route."
Secretary of State for Northern Ireland James Brokenshire said the move was "good news for travellers in the north-west and the wider regional economy".
"Having talked to local business leaders I know the air link with London plays a vital role.
"I am pleased the UK government has been able to step in to help, as part of our commitment to build a Northern Ireland that works for everyone."
The Irish government abolished air tax in 2014.
In 2013, the Executive abolished APD on long-haul flights only - a move which costs it more than £2m a year.
Pardew was sacked on Thursday with the club 17th in the Premier League after a run of one win in 11 games.
Allardyce travelled to Palace's training ground on Friday to complete talks with chairman Steve Parish.
As he arrived, the 62-year-old described the Palace job as a "fantastic" opportunity to return to top-flight management.
Allardyce could be in place to take training on Saturday, before Palace's Boxing Day game with Watford.
Parish said Pardew's "expansive style of football hasn't worked" and told BBC Sport on Thursday they would now "wind the dial back the other way".
Caretaker manager Keith Millen took Friday's news conference and told the media that if Allardyce was appointed, he would "sort the players out".
Allardyce 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.
However, the former Bolton, Blackburn, Newcastle and West Ham boss saved Sunderland from the drop last season despite them being second from bottom when he joined.
Parish, who co-owns the club with American investors Josh Harris and David Blitzer, said that Palace are "talking to a number of people to make sure we get this right", with the club now focusing on staying in the top flight.
"Relegation is so costly and I feel, with no blame attached, we got ourselves in a rut and need a change," he said.
Allardyce is known for having an instant impact on sides when he joins them - shown below after he arrived at Blackburn Rovers (2008-09) and Sunderland (2015-16).
The graph also shows the dip in form immediately after Allardyce has left (Newcastle 2007-08) and Blackburn (2010-11).
Allardyce has become associated with a preference for direct football during his career.
As the graphs below show, during his season at Sunderland after joining in October 2015, they were among the most prolific long passers in the division and strong at set pieces.
Ex-Palace chairman and owner Simon Jordan told BBC Radio 5 live: "Sam Allardyce is as good as it gets at guaranteeing a team doesn't get relegated.
"There's not exactly a plethora of top-quality managers around there, and Sam is a top, top manager."
Former Palace striker Clinton Morrison said: "If you need a man to get you out of the trouble Palace are in you don't look past Big Sam."

The former Liberal Democrat MP Adrian Sanders has demanded police take action.
He said the general election mailshots last year meant the Conservatives had broken local spending limits.
A Conservative Party spokesman said they did not fall under constituency spending restrictions because they did not name the party's local candidate.
The letters repeatedly referred to Torbay, telling voters how important it was for them to back the Tories in that constituency.
One concluded: "The only way you can stop Ed Miliband and the SNP taking us back to square one is to vote Conservative here in Torbay."
The BBC has been shown similar correspondence sent to voters in another seat.
Mr Sanders, who lost his Torbay seat to Conservative Kevin Foster in the 2015 general election, said: "It is a specific targeted mailshot to a voter in a given constituency saying vote for our candidate in that constituency.
"That has to be a local cost, not a national expense."
A Conservative spokesman said: "Simply referring to the location where the elector lives does not promote any named candidate.
"The literature only promoted the national Conservative Party.
"Such literature was not a local election expense under the RPA [Representation of the People Act] regime, as it was not connected with promoting the election of any candidate."
Gavin Millar QC from Matrix Chambers said Mr Sanders had a strong case and claims about election literature could lead to by-elections.
He said: "The law says if you're convicted of the offence of making a false declaration you attract automatically a five-year incapacity for holding public office and that means you must relinquish your seat in Parliament if you're an elected MP."
But Mr Millar, a former Labour councillor, added that other national parties also tended to think they could record similar expenses in their national return.
The Conservative agent in Torbay at the general election responsible for reporting local expenses, Alison Hernandez, has since been elected as the local police and crime commissioner.
Devon and Cornwall Police have asked West Mercia Police to investigate earlier allegations of undeclared spending - made after an investigation by Channel 4 News into visits by a Conservative Party campaigning "battle bus".
The Conservative Party has acknowledged that, owing to an "administrative error", some accommodation costs for the activists may not have been properly registered.
Ms Hernandez has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. She denies any wrongdoing.
The law which governs local election spending - the Representation of the People Act - defines election expenses as those incurred "with a view to, or otherwise in connection with, promoting or procuring the candidate's election at the election".
The Electoral Commission has previously said such letters are "generally reportable" under national spending limits, but the final position depends on specific "facts and context".
Mark Jones, 39, of London Road South, Lowestoft, pleaded guilty to affray after an incident on 10 December.
Ipswich Crown Court heard he had returned to the Kings Head pub in Beccles 15 minutes after he was asked to leave, "roaring the chainsaw".
In mitigation, Jones's lawyer said his actions were "foolhardy to the point of reckless".
LIVE: Updates on this story and other Suffolk news
The court heard Jones had threatened door staff he was going to come back with the power tool when he was asked to leave.
Police had been called and were at the scene when he returned 15 minutes later.
Jones got no closer than five yards to the pub, it was heard.
Sentencing Jones to a 21-month suspended jail sentence, Judge David Goodin said it was "lunatic behaviour".
He said: "The thought of a big man, which you are, drunk at a pub with a chainsaw roaring, is almost unimaginably frightening.
"The temptation to send you straight to prison is almost but not quite overwhelming."
Mitigating, Jones's lawyer Stephen Dyble said: "There was not a great deal of thought.
"It must've been an alarming experience to witness but there was no suggestion it was being brandished and it was not being thrust towards anybody."
Jones was also given a curfew between 22:00 and 06:00 seven days a week.
John Fairclough, honorary consultant at University Hospital of Wales, said the injury rate was "not viable".
A series of high-profile players have been seriously hurt before and during the world cup.
"You're taking a human body at speed and stopping it with another human body," said Prof Fairclough.
Wales' casualty list has almost hit double digits, while Ireland lost Paul O'Connell and Peter O'Mahony in their pool win over France on Sunday.
By the end of the Rugby World Cup pool stage, 22 players had been ruled out of the tournament, compared to 19 at the same stage in 2011 and 37 in 2007.
A World Rugby spokesman said: "Injury rates at the elite level of the game have not increased since 2002.
"It is too early to make comparisons [between 2015 and other World Cups] as it is usual to see fluctuations during an event, but injuries do not appear to be out of step with the norm.
Prof Fairclough, who previously served on the medical advisory committee for the Welsh Rugby Union, said: "Now you're seeing backs and centres who, in days gone by, would be flankers or certainly forwards.
"Although we've got bigger, we've got tougher, we've got stronger, the muscles and ligaments and nerves have not changed in their ability to withstand injury."
As well as concussions, Prof Fairclough said joint and ligament injuries can have serious long-term consequences.
"You've got head injuries, injuries to the knee and shoulder which will affect the ability of an individual to earn a living outside rugby.
"You only have to look at the number of serious injuries which means we have a duty of care to look after players long term."
Other aspects of the game which Prof Fairclough said affects the injury rate is the protection worn and style of play.
He said protective clothing, such as shoulder pads, give players "a feeling of invincibility" and players are committed to the ruck with the express intention of "taking people out".
"That means physically you're trying to use your body to disable somebody else's body," he added.
"The sidestep has almost become an irrelevance because you're running at and through people. Shoulder pads mean the body is being used as a weapon.
"The only way to reduce injuries is to reduce violent collisions. We need a formal independent review of the game that we all love to make sure we look at keeping our game as safe as possible.
"I feel the game has become a game of freaks. Club rugby in Wales... was a game for everyone, now it's just a game where you have to be strong, fit and fast."
The club allege Charles Green, Imran Ahmad, Brian Stockbridge and Derek Llambias negotiated commercial deals with Sports Direct below market value.
They also believe Mr Ashley unfairly benefited from the alleged negligence.
The action came to light at the Court of Session where Mr Ashley's legal team succeeded in a bid to get Rangers to disclose documents to them.
Rangers allege that the former directors did not act in the business's best interests when they negotiated commercial deals with Sports Direct.
The deals which the club are objecting to include an October 2012 agreement in which the directors allowed Sports Direct to have the naming rights to Ibrox Stadium.
Rangers believe that the naming rights were given to Sports Direct at a price well below their true market value.
In November 2014, the club also entered into a Partnership Marketing Agreement with Sports Direct which allowed the business advertising space at Ibrox.
The club's current management believe that the deal was also arranged at a price well blow its true market value.
They also believe that Mr Ashley unfairly benefited from the alleged negligence displayed by Mr Green and his colleagues.
Rangers hope to recover a total of £4,106,470.83 from the action.
They also want a judge to declare the Partnership Marketing Agreement void.
The action is concerned with the alleged actions involving the club's former chief executive Charles Green, commercial director Imran Ahmad and its former finance director Brian Stockbridge.
The club is also concerned with the alleged conduct of Mr Green's replacement as chief executive, Derek Llambias.
The case will next call before the court in the near future.
Sarries hope to better second-placed Exeter's result against Saints as they battle for a home play-off semi-final.
Already-relegated Bristol make two changes, as Jack O'Connell comes into the front row and Ollie Robinson returns to the back row.
The visitors could give a debut to prop Ollie Dawe from the replacements bench.
Veteran forward Kelly Brown and scrum-half Neil De Kock will make what could be their final appearances for Saracens at the Allianz after distinguished careers with the club.
Brown, 34, who has played for Sarries since 2010, will become the academy coach at the end of the season, while 38-year-old De Kock ends an 11-year stay in north London by moving back to South Africa.
There are further landmarks for Saracens, with Schalk Brits making his 200th appearance and captain-for-the-day Farrell playing his 150th game for the side.
Bristol backs coach Dwayne Peel told BBC Radio Bristol:
"There is an eagerness from the lads to finish the season very well.
"If we are competitive and really have a go at Saracens, we can be pleased with our performance.
"Saracens are a very difficult team to emulate. What they are is together, with world-class players, and fight to the end for each other."
Saracens: Goode, Ashton, Tomkins, Lozowski, Wyles; Farrell (capt), De Kock; M Vunipola, Brits, Koch; Itoje, Kruis; Brown, Burger, B Vunipola.
Replacements: George, Lamositele, Du Plessis, Hamilton, Earl, Wigglesworth, Gallagher, Ellery.
Bristol: Woodward; Edwards, Hurrell, Henson, Tovey; Searle, Mathewson; O'Connell, Jones (capt), Cortes, Phillips, Sorenson, Jeffries, Robinson, Eadie.
Replacements: Crumpton, Dawe, Ford-Robinson, Glynn, Fenton-Wells, Williams, Pisi, Piutau.

Udar, the political party led by the reigning world heavyweight champion boxer, has surprised many observers by catapulting to second place in opinion polls before Ukraine's parliamentary election on 28 October.
This is not Klitschko's first election: He ran twice, unsuccessfully, for mayor of Kiev.
But this election battle has a different vibe altogether. Udar, which means "punch" in Ukrainian (and stands for Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reforms) is regularly landing its blows.
At a recent rally in the small central Ukrainian city of Lubny, Klitschko's growing popularity was unmistakable.
Many were drawn simply to see him up close and possibly get an autograph from the WBC heavyweight champion, a man nicknamed Dr Ironfist, who is worshipped by Ukrainian sports fans.
But others said they came because they see Udar as an alternative to the cronyism and politics-as-usual of Ukraine's mainstream parties, both in the government and opposition. They consider Klitschko's political inexperience a plus - easier to believe him when he says that he is a new force that will pulverise Ukraine's pervasive and suffocating corruption.
All of which is buttressed by Klitschko's reputation as a punishing and disciplined fighter.
"I'm voting for Klitschko, because he's a person of iron will and strong character - just the kind of person we need," said Maria, a pensioner.
When Klitschko arrived, the crowd of a few hundred surged forward, and then settled back into rapt, respectful attention.
Klitschko is vast - a huge presence, more than 2m (6ft 7in) tall, with hands like watermelons.
He is not the most comfortable of orators, and his stump speech lacked the oomph of a more seasoned politician. But his massive grassroots campaign, which began nearly a year ago and sometimes includes up to five rallies a day, has undoubtedly sharpened his presentation.
"I have never been bought, and no-one has ever been embarrassed because of me in my sports career, and no-one will be embarrassed because of me as politician," Klitschko said to cheers. "I give you my word, and I will keep my reputation and my name. Believe me."
The speech however was light on specifics. Klitschko, of course, is not the first politician to trade mostly on hope.
He says that he will enforce the rule of law, and those politicians caught enriching themselves will be sent to jail. Ukraine will become a full member of Europe, including part of European security structures. He will bring a completely new team of ministers and aides, young and untainted by Ukraine's corrosive political culture.
How he plans to do all this is somewhat vague. But this strategy of being all things to all people seems to working exceedingly well. According to the Democratic Initiatives Foundation, Klitschko's party is polling at 16% - up from 9.6% two months ago.
These numbers are behind President Viktor Yanukovych's Party of Regions (23%), and just in front of Ukraine's United Opposition (15%), a collection of eight parties led by jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's Fatherland party.
How many deputies this would constitute in Ukraine's 450-seat parliament is still not clear however. Half of parliament is chosen proportionally from party lists, though only those parties that cross a 5% threshold are eligible. The other half is elected through first-past-the-post single mandate districts.
But if Udar and the United Opposition join forces in parliament, as they now are speaking of doing, they might control enough seats to form a majority. And in any case, Klitschko is now well-positioned to assume the leadership of the anti-government forces.
And what of his supporters' expectations, which may be too high and could face crushing disappointment when Klitschko is forced, as part of the expected political to-and-fro, to compromise with his opponents?
"I'm afraid to disappoint people, but this gives me the additional motivation to work even harder," he says.
"We have to make compromises, but under no circumstances should we compromise our consciences."
One of the alleged victims was a five-year-old girl whose father found a camera containing images of his daughter being sexually abused, report AFP news agency.
It comes after another abuse scandal involving French soldiers.
A leaked UN report claimed 16 French soldiers abused children in the Central African Republic.
Regent Cinema in Lyme Regis, Dorset, was engulfed by the blaze which caused the roof to collapse in March 2016.
Scott Cinemas said it had concluded its dealings with the insurer after more than a year but it had been a "much longer process than hoped".
It said architects and surveyors were now working on the rebuilding plans.
The Grade II listed building was extensively damaged in the fire which began following an electrical fault.
The auditorium was gutted, although the Art Deco frontage and the foyer were left largely intact.
Lyme town councillor Jeff Scowen said: "It's been sorely missed by the community and visitors. It's a beautiful iconic structure and it seems it's taken forever.
"Finally things are moving and it can't be a day too soon."
Scott Cinemas previously vowed to rebuild the cinema and said it hoped to begin work by the end of the year.

Craig Wallace, 23, who is also known as Muhammad Mujahid Islam, was arrested at an address in north London.
He remains in custody and will appear at Hendon Magistrates' Court on Monday.
It comes after Labour MPs Simon Danczuk and Neil Coyle reported to police alleged death threats after voting in favour of Syria air strikes.
A number of MPs have complained they received death threats after voting in favour of extending UK operations against so-called Islamic State (IS) militants into Syria.
Police declined to name the MP, but said the politician does not represent a London constituency.
Mr Wallace was arrested following an investigation into messages sent on Thursday 3 December.
Speaking for the first time since the verdict, Mrs Brooks - found not guilty on all four counts - said it had been "tough" for all affected by the case.
Appearing with her husband, Mrs Brooks said the police inquiry and trial had put their "troubles in perspective".
Royals, celebrities and crime victims were among those who had phones hacked.
Her former News International colleague and one-time lover Andy Coulson was found guilty of conspiracy to hack phones and faces a prison sentence of up to two years.
Speaking to a crowd of reporters outside her London home, Mrs Brooks said: "I am innocent of the crimes that I was charged with and I feel vindicated by the unanimous verdicts."
She continued: "We have a happy and healthy daughter. We have our brave and resolute mums who have been at court most of the time and we have had strong and unwavering support from all friends, our family and from our legal teams that have believed in us from the beginning.
"When I was arrested, it was in the middle of a maelstrom of controversy, of politics and of comment. Some of that was fair but much of it was not so I am very grateful to the jury for coming to their decision."
Robin Brant, BBC political correspondent
Her legs were shaking, her voice timid as she spoke to cameras assembled - for the first time in eight months - not outside the court.
"I am innocent," Rebekah Brooks said as she thanked her family and her lawyers.
Shouted questions about her failure to detect the criminality at the News of the World and her thoughts on Andy Coulson were ignored.
As the scrum around the pair moved to their waiting car, her husband Charlie told the BBC he was "sad" for Coulson.
The only defendant found guilty of phone hacking in the mammoth trial, he faces the prospect of sentencing next week and almost certainly prison.
The Brookses left in a car with their clothes and bags already packed up for them, probably heading home to Oxfordshire.
Five other people pleaded guilty in the case before the trial begun, while Stuart Kuttner - another of those cleared - told Channel 4 News he was "deeply sorry... appalled" and "ashamed" about what happened at the News of the World.
News Corporation boss Rupert Murdoch closed the 168-year-old tabloid in 2011 after revelations that voicemails intended for the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler had been intercepted.
That year Mrs Brooks stepped down as chief executive of the newspaper's holding company, News International.
But speaking to the BBC outside the Brooks's home, media commentator Steve Hewlett said: "Rupert Murdoch likes her, he's very close to her.
"I'm sure if there was a way to bring her back into the fold perhaps he would."
The Australian media magnate - who stood by Mrs Brooks when she resigned amid a crisis for his business - flew into the UK on Thursday but has yet to comment on the trial.
Mrs Brooks said it had been a "time of reflection" for her and she had "learned some valuable lessons and hopefully I am the wiser for it".
"I am incredibly proud of the many journalists I have worked with throughout my career and the great campaigns that we have fought and won," she went on.
"All I can say to you all is that today my thoughts are with my former colleagues and their families who face future trials. I am going to do everything I can to support them as I know how anxious the times ahead are."
Her husband Charlie Brooks added: "Rebekah has been through an unprecedented investigation of an incredibly forensic and personal nature, the likes of which we have probably never seen.
"And I would just like to say how proud I am of Rebekah and the dignity she has shown."
On Tuesday at the Old Bailey in London, Mrs Brooks was found not guilty of conspiracy to hack voicemails, two counts of conspiracy to pay public officials and two counts of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Mr Brooks, Mrs Brooks' former personal assistant Cheryl Carter, and News International's former head of security Mark Hanna were also cleared of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Mrs Brooks' successor as editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, was found guilty of a charge of conspiracy to intercept voicemails.
He could face a re-trial on two further charges of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office.
Meanwhile, former Metropolitan Police commissioner Lord Blair has defended the phone-hacking trial, saying it was a "good result for the public".
Lord Blair said the investigation showed the "absolute toxicity of the News of the World newsroom".
He also described allegations the Met Police's witness protection scheme had been targeted by phone-hacking as "extraordinary".
The organisation said state governments had imposed 20 temporary internet shutdowns in 2017.
Authorities say they shut internet and telecommunications services to stop rumours during times of unrest.
But the rights group said arbitrary internet shutdowns "violated India's obligations under international human rights law".
Kashmir social media ban criticised
Heat wave in India: Frustration, rumours and memes
Indian authorities frequently shut telecommunication services in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Earlier this month, the government in the western state of Maharashtra shut down internet services after protests led by farmers turned violent.
Meenakshi Ganguly, South Asia director at Human Rights Watch, said the authorities' concern about misuse of social media "should not be the default option to prevent social unrest".
"The lack of transparency and failure to explain these shutdowns only further the perception that they are meant to suppress nonviolent reporting and criticism of the government," she added.
The organisation, however, said that social media in India "has at times fuelled rumours leading to violence".
But it advised the government to not fully shut services during protests.
"Instead of fully shutting down networks, authorities can use social media to discourage violence and restore public order," it said.
She will be one of 16 celebrities taking part in a four-part series aiming to raise money for Sport Relief.
Other stars in the line-up include singers Kimberly Walsh and Will Young, actors Ade Edmondson and Alison Steadman, and former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls.
Judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood will return to critique the bakes.
Former Spice Girl Geri Horner will also be in the kitchen, along with Louise Redknapp, Victoria Coren-Mitchell and Jason Manford.
Representing the sporting worlds, former footballers David James, Chris Kamara and Jermaine Jenas will be taking part.
EastEnders actress Maddy Hill, The Morgana Show's Morgana Robinson and veteran BBC News reporter John Simpson complete the cast list.
Every episode will be presented by a different host, with Edmondson's wife Jennifer Saunders, comics Ed Byrne and Sarah Millican, and Bake Off's regular host Mel Giedroyc each fronting an edition.
The series will air early next year, ahead of Sport Relief in March.
The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (IOVW) said China now had 799,000 hectares (1.97 million acres) of land devoted to vineyards.
That compared with 1.02 million hectares in Spain.
Experts pointed out that not all of China's vineyard area is devoting to making wine - some of it is used for growing table grapes and dried fruit.
China has rapidly emerged as a major player in viniculture, accounting for 11% of the territory given over to vineyards last year, up from 4% in 2000.
France remained the biggest producer of wine, producing 46.7 million hectolitres (Mhl).
It also made the most from selling wine abroad, bringing in more than €7.7bn.
The United States remains the biggest consumer of wine, drinking 30.7Mhl - 13% of all global wine produced last year - followed by France and Italy.
Global wine consumption overall fell in 2014 by 2.4Mhl to 240Mhl.
The biggest importers of wine were Germany, the UK and the US with total global trade valued at €26bn, the IOVW added.
Correction 28 April 2015: This report has been amended to clarify that China is not the second largest wine-growing area, but second because of the size of its vineyard area.
It is South Korea's largest "chaebol" - a Korean name made up of the words "clan" and "wealth", which together mean a massive family-owned empire - and makes up a fifth of the country's GDP.
It is made up of numerous different businesses, ranging from consumer electronics to healthcare to life insurance.
It's also the company that many young Koreans want to work for, as I found out during a trip to Seoul earlier this year, despite the corruption woes of company heir Lee Jae-yong (also known as Jay Y Lee).
But now with Lee sentenced to five years in prison, how much will this impact on the fortunes of South Korea's most powerful company?
Not too badly in the short term at least, says Geoffrey Cain, author of an upcoming book on the Samsung empire.
"Samsung has a decentralised ruling system of management, so Mr Lee was never really involved in the day-to-day management of the company. He was more of a guiding hand for the empire," Mr Cain says.
Samsung itself has told me that it has three co-CEOs in place running the management team, and that it will endeavour to lead its operations without disruptions "and will find a way to minimise the impact of the legal proceedings".
But while it may be business as usual for now, it's hard to see how in the long term Samsung won't suffer.
I've been told that Lee's position at Samsung was never about specific product design or the performance of the company every quarter.
His job was to provide the conglomerate with a long-term vision. The unique perspective he had as a founding family member, I've been told, allowed him to seek out opportunities for Samsung.
Educated overseas, Lee's role was about developing future businesses and nurturing relationships with global clients. He was always given the most difficult clients to manage, I've been told, because he always had a deeper understanding of the company's future path.
Lee knew where Samsung needed to go and he wanted to help it get there - these are skills that you can't just step in and replace right away.
Samsung may have no shortage of qualified professionals who are currently handling the different divisions, but without a family leader it is hard to see how the firm can push ahead with a new direction - something it desperately needs as it tries to compete with rivals from China and Japan.
Lee's verdict is also likely to have been watched very carefully by South Korea's powerful chaebols.
Even though this is not the first time a chaebol boss has been convicted and sentenced to prison, most of them don't serve their entire jail terms.
Lee's case is unusual in that he received such a long sentence for a chaebol boss. He has the right to appeal but in South Korea any sentence that is longer than three years cannot be suspended.
Privately, chaebol sources have told me they feel unfairly maligned by the current campaign against them. After all, they argue, they are a vital force of South Korean industry - sales revenue from the top five chaebols are worth more than half of the country's entire economy.
Indeed, it is true that chaebols have helped to transform this once-poor nation into Asia's fourth-largest economy. But it's also true that these sprawling empires wield enormous influence and have exploited that influence both politically and economically to dominate South Korea's business world.
"The verdict is a big signal that the country is moving towards chaebol reform," Geoffrey Cain told me. "But these are just the early stages - this is just the start."
The case against Lee has always been about more than just one man's actions. The fact that this verdict has been handed down in the opening months of President Moon Jae-in's administration should signal a commitment to chaebol reform - after all it was among the major platforms of his campaign.
There's almost certainly more reform to come. But what shape it will take is still unclear.
The club could have been deducted three points and relegated from the top flight, or been fined at least £350.
In a statement the committee said the club did not not explain the failure to properly implement the three-game ban.
However it opted to "exercise its discretion" in not imposing a sanction.
The Committee indicated that "the interests of justice were best served by not imposing a sanction in all the circumstances".
The decision confirms Warrenpoint Town's relegation from the Premiership, with the second leg of the promotion/relegation play-off between Ballinamallard United and Institute set to be rescheduled.
The Mallards defeated the Championship side 2-1 in the first leg at the Riverside Stadium on 6 May.
Haveron sat out a three-game ban handed out by the IFA, but was in the dugout for his club's match against Dungannon Swifts on 23 April when he should not have been there.
"The club did not explain to the Committee's satisfaction the reasons why the start date for the suspension set out in the initial charge letter (18 April 2016) was not complied with and therefore the challenge from Carrick Rangers was not upheld," read the statement released on Wednesday night.
"The Committee took into account the points made on behalf of the club and decided to exercise its discretion under the overriding objective as outlined in Articles 1.6 and 1.7 of the Disciplinary Code and found that no sanction should be applied."
"In applying its discretion it took into account, what it found to be the honest intention of the club to serve a suspension, the fact that three matches had been served and points made regarding possible confusion in the way in which the suspension was to be implemented."
Alongside Phil Spector and Brian Wilson, he helped push the boundaries of rock, opening new avenues of experimentation and using the studio itself as an instrument.
His willingness to take creative risks helped The Beatles stay one step ahead of the pack, and turned a skiffle band from Liverpool into one of the most innovative songwriting teams in popular music.
"The fascination of recording is that you really do have an unlimited range of musical colours to use," he once said. "That's one of the main reasons why I enjoyed working with the Beatles so much, because our success won me artistic freedom."
Here are a selection of his most ground-breaking records.
Martin cut his teeth making comedy records - working with Peter Sellers, Dudley Moore and Peter Cook amongst others.
But his personal favourite was Bernard Cribbins' Right Said Fred, a farcical tale of two workmen trying (and failing) to force an upright piano into a building.
Martin took the simple song and illustrated it with sound effects - spines creaking, walls being demolished, springs springing.
"We had enormous fun doing those kinds of things," he recalled. "It was painting pictures in sound, and a jolly good apprenticeship for what I did later."
The B-side to Paperback Writer, Rain was The Beatles' first public attempt to capture the experience of an LSD trip on record.
Martin helped the band recreate the sense of detachment and dissonance by recording the basic track at a faster tempo, then slowing it down to alter the frequencies of their instruments.
After they left the studio, he duplicated a section of John Lennon's vocals and ran the tape backwards, creating a disorientating, surreal fade-out.
"From that moment they wanted to do everything backwards," said Martin. "They wanted guitars backwards and drums backwards, and everything backwards, and it became a bore."
The technique has been replicated ever since by bands looking to add a sense of mysticism to their recordings.
While The Beatles were accomplished musicians and songwriters, none of them possessed the classical training of their producer (a graduate of the Guildhall School of Music). As a result, Martin was often asked to flesh out the band's songs with string arrangements and contrapuntal melodies.
Perhaps his most famous contribution is the staccato, almost aggressive string section on Eleanor Rigby.
Paul McCartney has asked for something in the style of Vivaldi, but Martin based his arrangement on Bernard Herrmann's score for Psycho.
"He had a way of making violins sound fierce," he told Wall Street Journal reporter Marc Myers. "That inspired me to have the strings play short notes forcefully, giving the song a nice punch. If you listen to the two, you'll hear the connection."
In the studio, Martin instructed engineer Geoff Emerick to place the microphones unusually close to the instruments, so you could hear the scratch of the bow on the strings.
"The musicians hated it," Emerick said. "You could see them sort of keep slipping back on their chairs to get away from the mic in case they made any errors."
The caustic timbre changed the perception of what a string section could add to a rock record. A direct line can be traced from Eleanor Rigby to Led Zeppelin's Kashmir and Paul McCartney's bombastic Bond theme Live And Let Die (also produced by Martin).
Having retired from touring in early 1966, The Beatles were suddenly free to record at their leisure. While their debut album was recorded in a single day, Strawberry Fields Forever developed from John Lennon's simple guitar demo over a period of several weeks - a process you can track on the Anthology compilation album.
All of the band contributed to the song's unique sound - Ringo Starr draped towels over his drum kit to produce a strange, muffled sound; George Harrison played the Indian svarmandal; while Paul McCartney wrote the famous Mellotron flute intro.
But after the eighth day of recording, Lennon was still unsatisfied - wanting to keep the opening of the final take (Take 26) and the second part from another, recorded the previous week (Take 7).
He suggested that Martin somehow combined them, despite the fact they were in different keys and different tempos.
"You can do something about it," Lennon said. "You can fix it."
Martin and his engineer Geoff Emerick took up the challenge, speeding up one version and slowing down the other so that they matched in tempo. The edit is only detectable by a slight change in ambience around the one-minute mark - an effect which only adds to the song's sense of dislocation.
These days, almost every singer stitches together their vocals from multiple takes, but Martin and Emerick had proved such edits were possible on a humble four-track tape machine.
"Don't touch Jeff Beck, he's a loser," Martin was told by a senior music industry figure in 1974 - but the producer was defiant, replying: "No, I think he's a great guitar player. I'd always admired his playing enormously, and I knew his work well."
Producing the former Yardbird guitarist required a much more hands-off approach than Martin was used to.
"He [Beck] is a gut player," the producer told BBC 6 Music. "Sometimes he would play badly. Nothing would come and he would get very angry with himself. But other times he [could] sit down with a battered guitar and make the most incredible sounds."
"All I was able to do was work around that. Be the critic, take the best bits, then work around it."
Their first album together, Blow By Blow, practically invented the genre of jazz-rock fusion; and guitarists like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai owe their careers to the atmospheric, eight-minute closing track, Diamond Dust.
The record saw Martin develop into a modern producer - acting as a sounding board and facilitator, rather than a full-blown collaborator.
"George is almost like a dad: Relaxed, very focused on the sound," said Beck. "He was probably the best producer I've had. The guy who could framework what I was doing without interfering."
"Tact is one of the absolute requirements of a record producer," Martin agreed. "It's no good bullying people because they dig their heels in and do the opposite.
"And if you do have a good idea, try and make them think of it."
That is according to the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for October from Ulster Bank.
It gives an idea of how firms in the private sector are doing in terms of things like job creation, business activity and new orders.
This employment growth was driven by a pick up in construction and retail.
However in manufacturing, output across the sector was flat and employment fell at the fastest rate since the middle of 2013.
This comes after hundreds of job losses were announced at the Michelin tyre factory in Ballymena, County Antrim, last week.
Ulster Bank's chief economist, Richard Ramsey, said: "Manufacturing is exposed to the wider global economic slowdown."
He added: "Overall, the Northern Ireland private sector is still experiencing growth, but at a slowing rate, and with contrasting fortunes across the sectors.
"There are a number of headwinds evident, and with an ongoing global slowdown impacting particularly on the manufacturing sector, these are likely to intensify into 2016 and indeed beyond."
A developer has created a software patch to make titles bundled with the Rift headset compatible with the Vive.
Currently, it works with only two games - Lucky's Tale and Oculus Dreamdeck. More patches for other games are expected to follow.
However, one user said, the patch may prove tricky to install for those unfamiliar with PC technology.
A developer known as LibreVR put the patch on the Github code-sharing site for anyone to download and use.
Sam Machkovech, a writer for the news site Ars Technica, said it had allowed him to run Lucky's Tale via the SteamVR game-playing system used by the Vive.
The patch also preserves some elements unique to the HTC Vive such as the "chaperone" system that keeps an eye on a gamer's surroundings and warns if they stray too close to walls or other obstacles.
However, the ported game can only be played via an Xbox controller rather than with the Vive's motion controllers.
Mr Machkovech said the patch was significant because, before now, although the Oculus could get at games accessible via SteamVR, Vive owners could not get at many Oculus games.
But installing and running the patch might prove tricky for some because of the combination of files it needed to get games working.
"HTC Vive owners now have a free, simple way to access some of Oculus's most impressive launch offerings," wrote Mr Machkovech.
Oculus has yet to respond to news about the LibreVR patch, although in the past it has said it would be happy for people to change or "mod" its games.
The analysis of 4 million people, born between 1891 and 2001, showed that men used to be far more likely to drink and have resulting health problems.
But the current generation have pretty much closed the gap, the BMJ Open report says.
The changing roles of men and women in society partly explain the move towards drinking parity.
The study showed that in people born in the early 1900s, men were:
But over the ensuing decades, the gap closed so that for those born at the end of the century men were only:
The team at the University of New South Wales, in Australia, analysed data from people all over the world - although it was massively skewed towards North America and Europe.
They concluded: "Alcohol use and alcohol-use disorders have historically been viewed as a male phenomenon.
"The present study calls this assumption into question and suggests that young women, in particular, should be the target of concerted efforts to reduce the impact of substance use and related harms."
Prof Mark Petticrew, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "Men's and women's roles have been changing over the decades, this is likely to account for some of these trends - but not all.
"The increasing availability of alcohol also plays an important part, as does the way that alcohol marketing is often targeted specifically at women and particularly young women.
"Health professionals need to help the public - both men and women - to understand the health risks of alcohol consumption, and how to reduce those risks."

Canadian crooner Michael Buble was due to present - but that's been in doubt since his three-year-old son Noah was diagnosed with cancer last year.
At the time, the distraught singer cancelled all future engagements, saying he was determined to focus on caring for his eldest child.
It was hoped he'd be able to return for the Brit Awards, but media reports are suggesting he's pulled out for good - and understandably so.
So, who could take the helm at the O2 Arena on 22 February? Here are a few suggestions...
Ant (stands on the left, a bit wacky), and Dec (stands on the right, giggles) were hardly at their best when they hosted the Brits last year.
The nadir was the moment when Ant "mistakenly" appeared on stage in a dress. Because a man in a dress is hilarious, right?
Coming so soon after a video tribute to androgyny-embracing pop lizard David Bowie, it felt particularly dated.
But with a better scriptwriter they're a safe pair of hands - and, crucially, able to draw a big audience.
Back in 2008 when Katy Perry was a relatively new and untested pop star, she took the helm of the MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool and totally stole the show.
Cheeky and energetic, she kept the event moving at a frenetic pace, racing through 10 costume changes and more than a few memorable moments. "Girls. Just a reminder," she said, while riding on top of a giant banana. "It's not how big the banana is - it's how you sit on it."
With new music to promote in 2017, could the star be coaxed into a repeat performance?
If only so they can go: "On your marks, get set, DRAKE!"
By hiring Michael Buble, the Brits were making a statement of intent: we want some showbiz, and we want a host a global audience will recognise. Adele is one of the only other stars that fits the bill.
In many ways, Adele is the Brits. From the stop-you-in-your-tracks performance of Someone Like You to the moment last year when she tearfully accepted an award from Tim Peake in outer space.
She's funny, she's charismatic, and there's 0% chance she'll do it. Which will be a relief for the person who works the bleep button.
He's already winning the Brits Icon Award, so they won't need to book an extra cab.
His propensity to go off-script might cause organisers a few headaches - but a double-header with his bff Olly Murs would be worth tuning in for.
Before he swanned off to become a US chat show host, Corden presented the Brits five times (including a stint with Kylie in 2009). He stood down three years ago, telling the Radio Times he didn't want to outstay his welcome.
"There are award shows where it actually becomes a plus that it's hosted by the same person," he said. "But the Brits should always have an energy about them that is fresh and new and exciting."
But imagine if the whole Brits ceremony was an extended episode of Carpool Karaoke? No pizzazz, no fireworks, no music industry "suits" - just a rotating cast of megastars in the passenger seat, with Corden fishing the occasional trophy out of his glove compartment.
TV Gold. But, seeing as he's already presenting the Grammys a week before, extremely unlikely.
The Brits have often looked to comedians to provide a bit of frisson - notably Russell Brand, who outraged (some) viewers in 2007 with his references to the Queen's "naughty bits" and Amy Winehouse's drinking problem ("her surname's beginning to sound like a description of her liver".)
Of the current crop of stand-ups, Jack Whitehall has both the profile and the requisite irreverence. His UK tour might get in the way of rehearsals but, by coincidence, he has a day off on 22 February.
In the year that grime took over the Brits, Julie Adenuga would be a brave but bold choice.
The Beats 1 DJ is one of the genre's biggest champions (as well as being sister to three-time nominee Skepta) but eminently knowledgeable about music from all walks of life. Apple Music is also sponsoring two of the awards - best British male and best British female - so there's also a commercial reason to use one of their presenters on the night.
However, she's untested as a live TV presenter, so unlikely to make the cut.
On second thoughts, no.
X Factor host and hot buttered crumpet Dermot O'Leary makes live television look like a walk in the park - when in reality it's a race through a field full of knives, on one leg, in the dark, tethered to an excited donkey.
Amazingly, he's never presented the Brits, but given his role as a new music champion on Radio 2, he's a perfect fit.
Big Brother host Emma Willis did a great job fronting the Brits nominations show on Saturday night, attracting a respectable 1.6 million viewers to ITV.
She told the BBC she was planning to watch the main ceremony from the audience - but if the call comes, she can recreate her favourite ever Brit moment, when "Cat Deeley flew in on a champagne bottle" in 2004.

Officers were called at 20:45 BST on Saturday to a woodland area between Colwick Road and Sneinton Boulevard.
The man, who sustained shotgun injuries to his back and leg, remains seriously ill in hospital, police said.
Det Supt Rob Griffin believes "two shots were fired". A 22-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, was later released on bail pending further enquiries.
A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Det Supt Griffin added: "We understand a blue Yamaha R6 motorcycle with two occupants, both wearing helmets, parked on Sneinton Boulevard near to the entrance of Sneinton Wood.
"The movements of this motorcycle leading up to the time it was parked are of interest to us."
He said there would be an increased police presence in the area and additional patrols were planned.
The Times reports that the book documents "common and bloody" turf wars between Prince Charles' staff.
Author Catherine Mayer claims in Charles: Heart of a King that in-fighting thwarted a deal to streamline his charity operations.
Clarence House told the BBC the biography was not authorised.
"One former householder refers to Clarence House as Wolf Hall, in reference to the treacherous and opportunistic world depicted by Hilary Mantel in her fictionalised account of the rise of Thomas Cromwell under Henry VIII," Ms Mayer writes in her book, according to the paper which is serialising it.
Ms Mayer's account says that his staff call him "the Boss" but the Queen's eldest son identifies with the hapless Blackadder character Baldrick.
She writes about the future king's "native insecurity", and states: "He doesn't always believe he's earned the praise that comes his way, while criticism has the power to cast him into despair."
She also claims that the Prince often changes his aides' job descriptions, leading to some feeling "threatened as colleagues are instructed to undertake work on turf they consider their own".
She writes of Charles: "Apart from his time in the Navy, he has never held a paying job and doesn't understand the anxiety such moves can create.
"No student of management theory, he believes rivalries promote better performance, rather than recognising the glitches and strains which territorial disputes can cause."
To write this biography, Catherine Mayer had access to Prince Charles, his friends, his staff and his critics.
The published extract is authoritative, balanced and, in parts, far from flattering.
Those around the future king - who invited the author in - cannot now complain as she holds a mirror up to his court.
The book's greatest value will probably be the light it sheds on how Charles intends to behave once destiny calls.
The serialisation suggests the Queen's eldest son wants to continue the work he does now - which includes a focus on the environment and architecture - as well as taking on the role of head of state.
Some in royal circles believe the two are not compatible.
We know the prince's reign will be different from his mother's. This biography may help us understand just how different it will be.

The reputed organisational problems led to the collapse of a plan to make the Prince's charity operations more efficient, according to Ms Mayer.
Several thousand pounds was allegedly spent on drawing up plans for housing 15 of his charities in the same building, in order to concentrate resources and make a bigger impact.
Ms Mayer writes: "Sources say internal conflicts scuppered the scheme after it was already significantly advanced, wasting money instead of saving it."
Clarence House pointed out that the biography, contrary to some reports, was not authorised and the author did not have any exclusive access to the prince or his staff.

A first half which saw four players depart injured, two Ulster tries disallowed and two yellow cards ended with the visitors leading 15-7.
Darren Cave finished a flowing move but Gordon Reid dived over for Glasgow.
A controversial penalty try extended Ulster's lead but Tommy Seymour's score saw Glasgow nudge ahead before the hour but Paddy Jackson's try prove decisive.
Ulster's dominance for much of the game was vast.
Jackson's early penalty put them ahead and even when Iain Henderson was sin-binned for a dump tackle on Tommy Seymour, they extended their lead.
Ulster's All Black wing Charles Piutau was at the heart of so much of their attacking. He did Stuart Hogg for pace, then he carried again, racing away from Leonardo Sarto up the left wing. When Ulster swept right, Cave went over.
Reid's try - from a yard out - and Russell's conversion, on his 24th birthday and his return to the team after that awful injury at the end of last season, narrowed the gap to 7-8.
Still, Ulster's control continued to the break. They were wrongly denied a try when Rob Herring's score was ruled out for a Henderson obstruction, but they came again.
Piutau caused more havoc. Another break and then another, which saw Sarto penalised, wrongly, for a dangerous tackle as the New Zealander honed in on the try-line.
Referee Ian Davies gave the penalty try and sent Sarto to the bin for good measure. Jackson converted for a 15-7 half-time lead.
Ulster had 70% possession in the opening half and all the big ball carriers were in the Ulster ranks.
They might have gone further ahead on the resumption but Seymour knocked the ball out of Jackson's hands after a slashing break from the fly-half, but play went back for an earlier offside and the tide began to turn.
Russell made it 15-10 with a penalty and then Hogg drew the cover beautifully before putting Seymour over in the corner for his seventh try of the season. Russell converted to put Glasgow ahead.
At that point, just short of the hour, Glasgow had had only 38% possession in the entire match and yet they were two points clear.
It was utterly illogical but it typified their character and their predatory instincts. Glasgow made a little ball go an awfully long way.

Jackson's try was delicious; an attack that sliced through the heart of the Glasgow defence. The fly-half converted to restore the five-point lead. Having regained their advantage they then defended like demons to protect it.
Ulster have had some painful losses here in the past. They wouldn't be denied this time.
Not many teams get out of Glasgow with a win in the Pro 12. Ulster did - and they deserved it.

Matt Ogston, 36, from South Yardley, walked from London to Birmingham in eight days after the death of his partner, Dr Nazim Mahmood, 34.
An inquest heard Dr Mahmood killed himself after jumping from the balcony of his apartment in West Hampstead, London, on 30 July.
Mr Ogston has set up a charity to help gay people from faith backgrounds.
Mr Ogston's charity, the Naz and Matt Foundation, aims to support people with counselling and work with faith communities to raise awareness.
The walk - which Mr Ogston organised with friends - finished in Handsworth Cemetery in Birmingham, where Dr Mahmood is buried.
Mr Ogston said he had been contacted by several gay people of faith backgrounds since Dr Mahmood's death.
"They have had to leave their families, change their names, move to different parts of the UK all because of the way they were born," he said.
Tomasz Siemoniak said he had discussed such US military deployments last month with US Defence Secretary Ash Carter.
The US military has been conducting massive drills with Nato allies in Eastern Europe amid regional alarm over Russia's role in the Ukraine conflict.
Russian officials said the plan could have "dangerous consequences".
The three Baltic states also plan to store US heavy weapons, officials say.
The US has confirmed only that it is to send an armoured brigade of up to 250 vehicles, including tanks, to Germany to support its Nato allies.
US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter will decide in due course whether any of those vehicles will be deployed to other European countries.
"Decisions are near," Mr Siemoniak tweeted (in Polish), confirming a New York Times report at the weekend that storage of US heavy weapons in Poland was being discussed.
Such pre-positioning of US armour on the territory of its ex-communist Nato allies would be a first since the Cold War ended.
It would not be an ad hoc measure, the minister said, but "for years and decades".
Reports say up to 5,000 Nato troops could be equipped with the weapons set to be stored in eastern Europe. It would be in position for a Nato rapid reaction brigade, agreed at a Nato summit last year, which could deploy at short notice.
The White House and Mr Carter still have to approve the heavy weapons storage, and no precise locations have been named yet.
"This is another step towards building a greater US presence in Poland and the region," Mr Siemoniak told the Polish news agency PAP.
"If heavy US military equipment, including tanks, artillery batteries and other equipment really does turn up in countries in eastern Europe and the Baltics, that will be the most aggressive step by the Pentagon and Nato since the Cold War," said Gen Yuri Yakubov, a Russian defence ministry official.
Gen Yabukov said that, under such circumstances, Russia would "organise retaliatory steps to strengthen our Western frontiers".
A Russian Foreign Ministry statement said: "We hope that reason will prevail and the situation in Europe will be prevented from sliding into a new military confrontation which may have dangerous consequences."
The US is also building a missile defence base at Redzikowo in Poland, part of a shield aimed at protecting Nato countries from any long-range missile threat from a "rogue" government.
Russia has condemned the missile shield plan, accusing Nato of jeopardising European security. Russia is reported to have deployed short-range Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad, near Poland and the Baltic states.
Nato and Western leaders accuse Russia of sending soldiers and heavy weapons including tanks and missiles to the pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly denied this, insisting that any Russians fighting there are "volunteers".
Intermittent shelling and skirmishes have threatened the Minsk ceasefire agreed in February between the rebels and the Ukrainian government.
Poland and the three ex-Soviet Baltic republics - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - have issued some of the strongest condemnations of Russia's policy in Ukraine.
Tensions escalated in March 2014 when Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea peninsula.
Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary have also been named as possible storage locations for US military hardware.
Stephen Inglis, 46, from Bangor, and Frank McCormick, 44, from Newtownards, have been working together on a bin lorry for four years.
"We're still in total disbelief," said Stephen.
He explained the pair used to do a radio quiz every morning with the loser paying for sausage rolls.
They gave up on the pastries after Frank went on a diet.
"All I can say is thank God that Frank needed to lose a bit of weight," said Stephen.
His friend has lost two stone by "cutting out the stodge".
"I can certainly recommend this diet," said Frank. "On one hand I've lost 28 pounds but on the other I've gained £35,000."
Stephen explained that Frank always did the card scratching.
"After a pause, he said: 'We've won 70, we've won 70'. I said '70 quid?' And he said: 'No, 70,000!'"
Stephen will take his time to decide what to spend his share on, but Frank wants a new car and to take his family to Disneyland Paris. | St Helens centre Jordan Turner will move to Australian National Rugby League side Canberra Raiders on a two-year deal for next season.

She addressed rumours that the 65-year-old is transitioning to become a woman, something Bruce has not publicly commented on.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight she said Bruce "should tell his story his way".
"I think when the time is right he'll talk about whatever he wants to talk about," Kim said.
In recent months, photos of the former athlete have shown him with increasingly longer hair.
It's led to speculation on US websites and magazines about his personal life but there has never been any public confirmation from Bruce himself that he is or isn't transgender.
However, in the TV interview Kim alluded to the rumours and said her family "support Bruce no matter what".
"I think everyone goes through things in life but I do think that story and what Bruce is going through... he'll share when the time is right."
A US magazine was recently criticised for digitally altering a picture of Bruce Jenner onto a woman's body.
Transgender activist Kate Bornstein wrote a statement for the Advocate website about the cover.
She wrote: "I think that as more and more of us discover that trans is nothing to be ashamed of, the more difficult it's going to be for bullies to get people to believe their slander and lies."
As well as being known for his role in Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Bruce Jenner is a celebrated Olympian, having won a gold medal in the decathlon in 1976.
In 2013, he split up with his wife Kris after 22 years of marriage.
Their divorce is yet to be finalised.

Irish police believe Ivan Vaughan, whose stage name was Simon Scott, was swept away by flood water after getting out of his car as he returned from Glaslough on Sunday evening.
The victim was 70 and from Caledon in County Tyrone.
He was found at about 11:25 local time at Corraghdown, Glaslough.
Mr Vaughan's body was found about 10 metres from his car.
Vinny O'Donnell was a lifelong friend of Mr Vaughan.
"He was a good friend of mine and a great entertainer and it's a very, very, very sad loss. especially for his loving family who must be feeling it now just tragically coming up to Christmas," he said.
Mr O'Donnell heard about his friend's death from a fellow musician.
"My first thought was pure and utter shock, I couldn't take it in," he said.
"You try to put in your mind what was going through his head hitting that flood at night, we're never going to know.
"It's just another tragic, very tragic accident and for him to be taken from us in such a way. It's just very hard to take in."
He said that in his heyday, Mr Vaughan was "very debonair and very good looking".
"All the women just adored him but he was a very, very talented singer and performer. His one man shows were brilliant, very professional.
"There will be a lot of fans who will be very sad to hear such tragic news.
"Apart from the music, he'll be remembered as a very warm-hearted, very genuine, very warm, well-manned person. He was a pure gentleman, sadly he's gone."
Irish police said Mr Vaughan's death did not appear to be suspicious.
He had been reported missing earlier on Monday morning.
Mr Vaughan performed with the group the Plattermen in the 1960s and 70s and recently worked as a solo artist.
The announcement follows the launch of the iPhone 5S, the first handset to include the technology.
Apple boasted its A7 chip offered "desktop-class architecture".
However, experts say most apps are unlikely to see much immediate benefit from the shift from 32-bit tech and that it could introduce compatibility problems in the future.
The Android operating system would need to be updated before Samsung's Galaxy devices could take advantage of a shift to 64-bit.
The number of bits in relation to a microprocessor affects the size of the numbers that can be handled by its registers - the tiny bits of memory on the processing chip itself. Those numbers are then used to address RAM (random-access memory).
In the case of 32-bit architecture, the amount of memory than can be addressed is two to the power of 32, in other words 4.3 billion values.
In the case of 64-bit architecture the processor can theoretically address 18,400,000 trillion values.
As a result, operating systems written for 32-bit chips can only access up to 4GB of RAM, but those written for 64-bit processors can, in theory, support up to 16 billion gigabytes of RAM.
If a program has been written to take advantage of a 64-bit operating system, it should mean the processor can access data that is in this larger memory rather than retrieving it from, for example, the hard disk.
This speeds up the whole processing chain.
However, including more RAM also makes the equipment more expensive and power-hungry.
For that reason, smart-device makers have tended to shy away from taking advantage of 32-bit chips' upper RAM limit.
Samsung's forthcoming Galaxy Note 3 handset goes the furthest, with 3GB of RAM. The device also features a bigger-than-normal 3,200 mAh battery.
Samsung Electronic's co-chief executive announced its plan to use 64-bit chips, in an interview with the Korea Times newspaper.
"Not in the shortest time," said Shin Jong-kyun. "But yes, our next smartphones will have 64-bit processing functionality."
However, bearing in mind there will remain many iOS and Android handsets on the market that still rely on 32-bit chips, this may deter developers from taking advantage of the switch in the short-term.
"People who have the old 32-bit processors will not be able to run software that is built specifically for the 64-bit processors because the latter uses a different instruction set," explained Prof Alan Woodward, from the University of Surrey's computing department.
"However, if people write in 32-bit, it will run on many of the 64-bit processors because they still support the old instruction set.
"So, you can get the whole market by writing the app in 32-bits, but you can only get a very small part of the market if you write specifically for 64-bits."
One solution to this is to use what is called a "fat binary", a program containing code tailored to both types of processor. Apple's Xcode toolset allows this to be done automatically.
However, using fat binaries makes apps bigger and they therefore take up more storage space.
Once sales of the new devices do grow, makers of video games and software to create 3D-animations might be among the first to make the switch since their programs are among the most processor-intensive and thus most likely to see the biggest benefit.
One iPhone and Android developer welcomed the move.
"Yes, many apps won't be able to take advantage of 64-bit at the outset," said Stephen Lum from Visual Candy Apps.
"But the beauty of what Apple did is that they said it takes an iOS developer, like me, two hours to convert to 64-bit. That is awesome."
However, one industry watcher warned that the switch might create compatibility problems for devices using older types of chip once developers started releasing apps that only worked on 64-bit processors.
"When app makers do decide to transition to fully 64-bit, it will create a divide in the market," said Chris Green, from the Davies Murphy Group consultancy.
"We saw exactly the same thing happen in the Windows world when software makers moved from 32-bit to purely 64-bit."
For now British chip designer ARM may prove the biggest beneficiary.
Smart-device makers are able to offer 64-bit tech because they have licensed the firm's ARMv8 architecture, which it first announced in 2011. The design includes other elements which should also boost processing power.
The news means the company will enjoy bigger fees. ARM's share price has risen about 10% since the start of the week.
Some have speculated that Apple's announcement might foreshadow the US firm ditching Intel chips in its laptops and desktop computers and moving to its own processors.
"Apple's new A7 chip is not powerful enough to be a PC chip, but the architecture is going that way," said Prof Woodward.
"They might be readying themselves. I think this is the beginning of a long road."
Ms Rousseff said national mobilisation was needed to eliminate the mosquitoes that spread the virus, and urged community groups and unions to help.
Zika is thought to cause a form of infant brain damage, microcephaly.
Three to four million people could be infected with Zika in the Americas this year, experts have warned.
Ms Rousseff rejected comments made by her health minister earlier this week, who said Brazil was badly losing the fight against the virus.
But Brazil is the country worst affected by the Zika outbreak, with 270 cases of microcephaly confirmed by the health ministry and 3,448 being investigated.
Concerns have arisen about Brazil's ability to safely host this year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Thomas Bach, the head of the International Olympic Committee, has said steps are being taken to protect the event.
The IOC said it will issue guidelines later on Friday for athletes and visitors taking part.
A group of Brazilian lawyers, activists and scientists is to ask the country's supreme court to allow abortions for women who have contracted the virus.
Abortions are illegal in Brazil, except in health emergencies or cases of rape or, since 2012, another brain condition known as anencephaly.
The new petition is to be delivered to the supreme court in two months' time. The BBC has learned that it argues that "the Brazilian state is responsible for the Zika outbreak" for not having eradicated the Aedes aegypti mosquito which carries it.
Brazilian women "should not be penalised for the consequences of flawed policies", it says.
The group behind the microcephaly supreme court plea also won the exception for anencephaly in 2012.
Debora Diniz, a law professor at Brasilia University, told the BBC the disease disproportionately affected the poor.
She said: "It is important to remember, when we talk about abortion and reproductive rights in general, that we have a social class split in Brazil - wealthy women will access safe abortion, legal or illegal, and poor women will go to the illegal market or continue to be pregnant."
Most people do not develop symptoms of the Zika virus but may pass the virus on to their children. There is no known cure or vaccine. The US says it hopes to begin human vaccine trials by the end of 2016.
Officials from the US National Institute of Health (NIH) said they had two potential Zika vaccines in development. One that is based on an experimental West Nile vaccine could be repurposed for Zika and enter clinical trials by the end of 2016, the NIH said.
WHO director general Dr Margaret Chan said Zika had gone "from a mild threat to one of alarming proportions". She has set up a Zika "emergency team" following the "explosive" spread of the virus.
The team will meet on Monday to decide whether Zika should be treated as a global emergency.
Zika was first detected in Uganda in 1947, but has never caused an outbreak on this scale. Brazil reported the first cases of Zika in South America in May 2015.
WHO officials said between 500,000 and 1.5 million people had been infected in Brazil, and the virus has since spread to more than 20 countries in the region.
The BMA is the professional association and trade union for doctors.
At the moment, there are a number of cross-border health services like the cancer centre in Londonderry.
All-island care has been expanded in areas such as children's cardiac services.
There's also long-standing co-operation between the emergency services when responding to major emergencies and public health risks.
The BMA's Northern Ireland council chair, Dr John Woods, said it's vital this work continues.
"Northern Ireland is too small a health economy to efficiently provide some smaller specialist services - the Republic of Ireland is our natural partner for many of these, allowing both countries to provide benefits to patients on both sides of the border," he said.
"Such projects mean that on a day-to-day basis doctors across Northern Ireland and the Republic will be in contact, getting professional advice, sharing knowledge and collaborating on patient care."
"Any border restrictions imposed after Brexit would risk reversing this progress and would damage patient care."
The BMA has said it wants mutual recognition of qualifications to continue, as well as the existing ability of doctors to move freely between the jurisdictions.
Dr Peter Maguire, a consultant anaesthetist who lives and works in Newry but also works regularly in Monaghan, said in the event of a hard Brexit, he will have "no choice" but to move south of the border.
"It's not just cross-border movement that will be an issue for patients - 54% of the exports from Ireland are pharmaceuticals and huge amounts of medical equipment are made and come from Ireland," he said.
"What will happen if there are tariffs? What will happen to the cost of drugs with the change in the euro?"
Another organisation which has concerns about what could happen after Brexit is Cooperation and Working Together (CAWT). It's a partnership between the health services in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Chief officer Bernie McCrory crosses the border 10 times on her daily commute to work.
"We've been guaranteed that EU funding for any project that has been approved before the day of Brexit will be underwritten by the exchequers in both jurisdictions for the duration of the project, so we're not concerned about the current state of projects which will sustain until 2021," she said.
"What happens beyond that is a matter of discussion."
However, she added that cross-border health care isn't fully dependent on EU funding and is convinced that the British and Irish governments will continue their commitment to the radiotherapy unit in Altnagelvin.
"There are lots of service models, if you take for example the Norwegian model where Norway is not in the EU it nonetheless benefits from EU funding because of its adjacency to other EU countries.
"There may be innovative ways to deliver projects which are not the same as we currently use."
Mr Kerry said if the US Congress imposed new sanctions against Iran, it would risk the "delicate" diplomatic effort needed for a larger deal.
The US and other world powers have promised no new sanctions in exchange for a curb of Iran's nuclear programme.
But US critics of the deal say it gives Iran cover to expand the programme.
And they have called for even tougher sanctions now, saying they would strengthen the hand of the so-called P5+1 group of nations engaged in negotiations with Iran.
Some world powers say Iran's uranium enrichment programme is geared towards making a weapon, but Tehran insists it is only for peaceful purposes such as generating nuclear energy.
On Tuesday, Mr Kerry told the House foreign affairs committee the six-month deal, agreed in late November, had increased the security of the US.
"I would state to you unequivocally, the answer is yes, the national security of the United States is stronger under this first-step agreement than it was before," Mr Kerry said.
Mr Kerry and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will hold a classified briefing on Iran for the full US Senate on Wednesday.
As part of the deal, inspectors from the UN's nuclear agency visited Iran's Arak heavy water production plant on Sunday for the first time in more than two years.
During the hearing in the House foreign affairs committee, Mr Kerry was accused of grovelling to the Iranian government and letting down allies, the BBC's Jonny Dymond reports.
But our correspondent says Mr Kerry pushed back against every suggestion of weakness on Iran, stressing that without a deal, the country would be closer to developing nuclear weapons.
"We are asking you to give our negotiators and our experts the time and the space to do their jobs and that includes asking you while we negotiate that you hold off imposing new sanctions," Mr Kerry told the panel.
"I am not saying never. If this doesn't work, we are coming back and asking you for more. I am just saying not right now," he added. "This is a very delicate diplomatic moment."
The Obama administration has faced scepticism from both parties in Congress. The House of Representatives passed a new sanctions scheme in July by a vote of 400 to 20.
Meanwhile, the Democrat-controlled Senate has moved more slowly on fresh sanctions legislation.
Two senators are reportedly close to completing a bill to require the White House to certify Iran's adherence to the Geneva plan every 30 days.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the Senate banking committee said on Tuesday the panel would hold off on advancing a new Iran sanctions bill.
"The President and Secretary Kerry have made a strong case for a pause in congressional action on new Iran sanctions, so I am inclined to support their request and hold off on committee action for now," chairman Tim Johnson said in a statement to the BBC.
On Tuesday, the House foreign affairs committee's top Democrat, Representative Eliot Engel, said he had "serious reservations about the agreement" because it did not completely stop enrichment.
Mr Engel told Mr Kerry he thought the US would have more leverage with more sanctions.
"I think it could potentially strengthen your hand with a good cop, bad cop scenario," Mr Engel said.
Republican legislators expressed harsher criticism of the Geneva agreement.
Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen called it a "bad deal" and panel chairman Ed Royce said the US "may have bargained away our fundamental position".
But Mr Kerry urged the House to hold off.
"I don't want to give the Iranians a public excuse to flout the agreement," Mr Kerry said. "It could lead our international partners to think that we're not an honest broker."
Iran's foreign minister Mohammad Zarif has warned any new package of commercial restrictions would kill the deal.
"If Congress adopts sanctions, it shows lack of seriousness and lack of a desire to achieve a resolution on the part of the United States," Mr Zarif told Time magazine.
The Welsh-language cultural festival is expected to attract around 150,000 visitors to the Carmarthenshire area.
The town last held the nine-day August festival of music, dance, visual arts and original performances and other cultural events in 2000.
An opening gala took place on Friday evening.
The eisteddfod alternates between north and south Wales each year and Llanelli was chosen as host in 2012.
Fund-raising for the event locally has already smashed its £320,000 target, reaching £400,500.
Garry Nicholas, eisteddfod president and a local Llanelli resident added: "I believe this may be the largest total ever raised as a local fund, and it is a great credit to the people of Carmarthenshire and Wales."
Meanwhile, the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) has warned that local government reorganisation could have an impact on future funding for the Eisteddfod.
The Williams Commission, set up by the Welsh government, has recommended the 22 councils should be merged to between 10 and 12.
All local councils currently agree to contribute a set amount each, which is worth a total of £370,000 - or 9% - of the eisteddfod's annual income.
Dyfed Edwards, Gwynedd Council's leader and WLGA spokesman on the Welsh language, told BBC Wales any council mergers would require a new agreement.
"Certainly you would need a new contract, because there would be new councils," he said.
"At the moment we should not expect a reduction because we can spread the burden between 22 authorities. But I would say that there is a risk of losing that investment only if there is a campaign for more money."
Radio presenter Roy Noble, chair of the Welsh government's task force which looked at future funding for the eisteddfod, said he hoped the council grant would at least be maintained post reorganisation.
"We don't know which councils will be merged. I know it's a difficult time for all with services being cut but I hope that they will not use this as a reason to not pay their share."
Eisteddfod chief executive, Elfed Roberts, said the matter had not been discussed because everybody was "waiting to see what happens if reorganisation does happen".
He added: "I've got a lot of faith in the relationship which we have with the WLGA.
"It's based on trust, it's based on partnership and I suspect that we will have a discussion and we will come out of it still remaining friends."
This year's festival is taking place on a 35-acre (14 hectare) field or "maes" with the focus of cultural activities in a pink pavilion with six pointed towers.
One of the highlights is the annual chairing of the bard ceremony, when a unique chair, or throne, created by a local carpenter, is awarded for the best poem written in a traditional form of Welsh verse using a strict metre.

Angus Milligan, 21, of Edinburgh, admitted choking and slapping Glasgow student Emily Drouet, 18, at halls of residence in Aberdeen.
University of Aberdeen law student Ms Drouet was found dead several days later in March last year.
Milligan admitted assault and threatening behaviour. Sentence was deferred at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.
The court heard that Ms Drouet had approached a student resident assistant in Aberdeen to say she was having difficulties with the way she was being treated by her boyfriend, a fellow student.
When she was asked if it was physical, she said "no" and told them she did not want to get him into trouble.
Speaking after the case, Ms Drouet's mother Fiona said her daughter had had everything to live for, and she thought about her every day.
The family has called for Milligan to receive a custodial sentence.
Mrs Drouet said: "Emily was kind, caring, loving, intelligent and beautiful - inside and out.
"She left for university full of excitement, with a bright future ahead of her.
"That all ended when she met Angus Milligan. We miss her every second of every day.
"We hope the courts will impose a custodial sentence, sending a strong message that domestic violence will not be tolerated."
Christopher MacIntosh, assistant procurator fiscal for Grampian, Highlands and Islands, told the court: "The impact these crimes had on her (Emily) one will never know.
"Emily's parents are devastated by the death of their daughter and the conduct to which she was subjected by the accused."
Milligan admitted three charges of the eight he originally faced.
He admitted an assault at New Carnegie Court, Hillheads Halls, on 10 March last year when he seized Ms Drouet by the neck, choked her, pushed her against a desk and twice slapped her on the face to her injury.
He also admitted sending her offensive messages, and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting and using abusive and offensive language towards Ms Drouet.
Susan Duff, defending, said Milligan understood the pain which Ms Drouet's family was feeling.
She said he accepted his responsibility and would always have the knowledge that his girlfriend took her own life a week later.
Ms Drouet was found dead on 18 March.
Sheriff Malcolm Garden deferred sentence until 5 July.
A University of Aberdeen spokesman said: "Emily was a bright and capable student, and her death was a tragedy that was deeply upsetting for all of us here at the University of Aberdeen.
"The wellbeing of our students and staff is our number one concern, and we are committed to supporting anyone who is experiencing difficulties during their time at university.
"The university has enacted an action plan to expand our range of support services, and we are making good progress as we implement a number of new measures designed to offer our students and staff the best possible support."

The Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale star was chosen as the party's candidate ahead of fellow nominee Jane Thomas.
Mrs Cox, who was MP for Batley and Spen, was shot and stabbed in Birstall, West Yorkshire, on 16 June.
The by-election will take place on 20 October.
Ms Brabin was born in Batley and worked with Mrs Cox on her campaign to save the town's library.
She played Tricia Armstrong in Coronation Street in the 1990s before appearing as Roxy Drake in EastEnders and Carole in Emmerdale, and has also written for shows including Family Affairs, Tracy Beaker and Hollyoaks.
Ms Brabin, who was selected at a hustings event on Friday, said she was "humbled and privileged" to have the chance to succeed Mrs Cox.
"Jo was my inspiration. I intend to do her proud," she said.
"Obviously no-one wanted this, but I'm the only person on the ballot paper that can stand up for everyone in Batley and Spen.
"I'm hoping people will put party politics to one side and we can work together."
Meanwhile, the husband of Mrs Cox has had a meeting with US President Barack Obama at the White House in Washington DC.
Brendan Cox, who took his two children, wrote on Twitter that he and the president had "talked about Jo" and "fighting extremism".
He praised President Obama as being "excellent with the kids", adding that "the kids gave him their best drawings".

Some 10,000 plaintiffs sued a power company for negligence over the fire.
The case centred on the most deadly blaze on Black Saturday, on 7 February 2009, when wildfires swept across several areas in the state of Victoria.
This fire, in the Kilmore East area north of Melbourne, killed 119 people and destroyed more than 1,000 homes.
A 2009 Royal Commission found that the fire began when an electricity line failed between two poles. Contact between the live conductor and a cable stay supporting the pole caused arcing that ignited vegetation, the report said.
The plaintiffs accused SP AusNet of failing to adequately maintain its power lines.
They also sued Utility Services Corporation Ltd, the line maintenance contractor, and the Department of Sustainability and Environment for inadequate prevention measures.
The group were awarded a settlement of A$497.4m ($467m, £274m), of which SP AusNet will pay A$378.6m.
The settlement represented "a measure of justice and some real compensation to help ease the financial burden of their suffering," lawyer for the plaintiffs Andrew Watson said.
SP AusNet said the settlement came without an admission of liability by the company.
"SP AusNet's position has been, and continues to be, that the conductor which broke and which initiated the fire was damaged by lightning, compromising its fail-safety design in a manner which was undetectable at the time," it said in a statement.
"It is a tragedy that the conductor eventually failed on one of the worst days imaginable."
A total of 173 people died in the Black Saturday fires.
The 800-acre (323.7ha) Tanera Mòr is the largest and only inhabited island in the Summer Isles in Wester Ross.
Current owners, the Wilder family, bought the island in 1996 and put it back on the market in 2013.
Breaking up the sale into lots is part of a new effort to sell Tanera Mòr, which has a post office and its own stamps for sending mail from the isle.
The guide price for the whole island has been set at almost £2m.
Lot one, the north end of the isle, involves about 231 acres (93ha) and has been priced at £700,000.
It also includes the Summer Isles Post Office which issues two stamps for mail leaving the island - a Tanera Mòr stamp for it to leave the isle to the mainland and a Royal Mail one for the rest of journey.
Tanera Mòr is the only Scottish island to operate a year-round private postal service.
Lot two involves a central area of about 196 (79ha) acres, including Mol Mòr which is the largest of the isle's beaches, and would cost about £430,000 to buy.
In the 1930s, scientist and writer Frank Fraser Darling transformed large parts of moor on this part of the island into fertile land using manure and shell sand
The south of the Tanera Mòr makes up the final lot and involves about 333 acres (134ha) and has a guide price of £820,000.
John Bound, a partner at selling agents CKD Galbraith, said: "The sale of Tanera Mòr offered now as a whole or in three separate lots adds an exciting dynamic to the sale of this idyllic island as it now allows a number of interested parties the chance to tap into island life.
"Each lot offers comfortable family living with some established and potential business opportunities.
"We believe that by offering Tanera Mòr in lots we will attract potential buyers who are looking to buy into the idyllic island lifestyle."
The island was put up for sale after talks were first held about a possible buyout by the local community living on the mainland nearby.
Among the nearest mainland communities and settlements to the Summer Isles include Coigach, Achiltibuie, Ullapool and Lochinver.

One bookmaker has suspended betting on the Republic of Ireland assistant taking over from outgoing Celtic boss Ronny Deila, although it is understood the club are still interviewing candidates and no decision is imminent.
"He's hard but fair. What you see is really is what you get," said Gordon.
"If he was appointed, I'm sure he would do well and he would be successful."
Gordon played under Keane at Sunderland having been signed by the Irishman from Hearts in a deal totalling £9m in 2007.
"I know how he liked things to run at Sunderland," Gordon added. "He was an aggressive player, he wanted to win every match and, from what I've seen, he is exactly the same as a manager."
Norwegian Deila announced on 20 April he would leave the club, before a fifth straight Scottish title was secured on Sunday.
Gordon is not surprised to see big names linked with the Celtic job and believes plenty of top-class managers would be interested in taking over the Scottish champions.
"It's a big job for anybody. It's a big club, a massive club," he said.
"There are a lot of good managers out there that would see Celtic as being a really good job and a good prospect to go on and do something pretty special, winning trophies and playing in European competitions.
"There's not that many clubs in Britain that are capable of doing that."

The move will "support progression" towards the manufacturing phase of the new Type 26 Global Combat Ship.
The UK government said the contract would safeguard 1,700 UK jobs, including 600 in Scotland, at both BAE Systems and its supply chain.
The news came as Prime Minister David Cameron visited BAE Systems at Govan.
The Type 26's manufacturing phase is expected to begin in Glasgow in 2016.
The first frigate is due to enter service in the early 2020s, with the class of ship expected to remain in service until 2060.
The UK government said the deal would involve about 30 companies in the maritime supply chain and enable investment in essential long-lead items, including equipment such as gas turbines, diesel generators and steering gear for the first three ships.
Mr Cameron said the contract represented a "substantial investment" in the shipbuilding industry.
He added: "Investing in these warships will ensure we continue to keep our country safe, at home and abroad.
"As part of our long-term economic plan, we're not just building the most advanced modern warships in the world - we are building the careers of many young people with apprenticeships that will set them up for life."
BAE Systems chief executive Ian King said: "We have a long and proud heritage of delivering complex warships in the UK and today's announcement is a significant endorsement of the government's commitment to sustain this important national capability.
"Through the Type 26 programme, we are transforming the way we design and manufacture naval ships with innovative new technologies, leading-edge processes and modern infrastructure.
"New ways of working ensure we can continue to deliver the highest quality equipment at the lowest possible cost and compete effectively for future UK and international orders."
David Hulse, national officer of the GMB union, said: "This announcement is very good news in that it secures the future of the Clydeside shipyards and the skilled workforce and will enable the company to provide a substantial number of much-needed apprenticeships."
Shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker said: "Following this Tory-led government's substantial delay in approving this contract, it is now crucial that the programme runs on budget and on time."
New rules will make it easier for people to generate their own power with solar panels, store it in batteries and sell it to the National Grid.
If they work, consumers will save £17bn to £40bn by 2050, according to the government and energy regulator Ofgem.
The rules are due to come into effect over the next year.
They will reduce costs for someone who allows their washing machine to be turned on by the internet to maximise use of cheap solar power on a sunny afternoon.
And they will even support people who agree to have their freezers switched off for a few minutes to smooth demand at peak times.
They'll also benefit a business that allows its air-conditioning to be turned down briefly to help balance a spell of peak energy demand on the National Grid.
Among the first to gain from the rule changes will be people with solar panels and battery storage. At the moment they are charged tariffs when they import electricity into their home or export it back to the grid.
The government has realised that this rule must change because it deters people from using power more flexibly in a way that will benefit everyone.
Thanks to improvements in digital technology, battery storage and renewables, these innovations in flexibility are already under way with millions of people across the UK generating and storing electricity.
The new rules have been designed to cash in on this.
The government will set up a "battery institute" to fund firms seeking major breakthroughs in battery research and development.
Its critics say it has been slow to support the burgeoning battery industry - and has allowed South Korea, Japan and China to take a lead.
The tiny energy savings of millions of people and firms will be pulled together into packages by traders, who will offer substantial chunks of energy saving to the National Grid at the click of a computer.
So instead of predicting peak demand then building power stations to meet it, energy managers will be able to trade in Negawatts - negative electricity.
In a speech made in Birmingham, Business Secretary Greg Clark outlined further a £246m investment in the UK's industrial strategy, with energy at its heart.
He gave details of a competition for innovation in battery technology, which he says will help make the UK a world leader in battery design and manufacture.
Nicola Shaw, executive director of National Grid, previously told BBC News that between 30% and 50% of fluctuations on the grid could be smoothed by households and businesses adjusting their demand at peak times.
"We are at a moment of real change in the energy industry," she said.
"From an historic perspective, we created energy in big generating organisations that sent power to houses and their businesses.
"Now we are producing energy in those places - mostly with solar power."
An Ofgem source told BBC News the current rules on trading energy are not fit for the digital age because they often discourage people using energy flexibly.
The rules were made before the digital revolution and before the boom in variable renewable energy.
Industry figures talk about the seismic change that's sweeping them along.
At a recent UK conference, energy managers were asked which of them could foresee the shape of the industry in a decade; only half a dozen people raised their hands.
Some will urge a degree of caution amongst the enthusiasm: the more the energy industry embraces the digital age, the more vulnerable it will be to hacking.
Recent reports suggest that Russian hackers may already have tried to compromise the system.
Ofgem says the new rules will put measures in place to combat interference.

The victim, in her 20s, was dragged into bushes and found near recycling bins after being assaulted in Victoria Park on Monday night, police said.
She remains in a critical condition in hospital.
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Leicester Youth Court and was remanded in custody.
He will appear again at Leicester Crown Court on 21 July.
The Swans have set an asking price of £50m for the midfielder after rejecting a £40m bid from Leicester.
Sigurdsson has three years left on his contract but, having sold Jack Cork to Burnley, Clement says he cannot guarantee the Icelandic playmaker will remain at the Liberty Stadium.
"I've made it very clear I want him to stay here," said Clement.
"The fans want that, the owners would like that but, ultimately, there's a business side to football as well.
"We had that situation with Jack Cork. In the summer there was no thought of moving Jack on but it got to a point when another club came in with a really good offer.
"That might end up being the case with Gylfi. We don't know yet."
Sigurdsson captained Swansea in the second half of their 1-0 friendly defeat at Barnet on Wednesday.
Goalkeeper Erwin Mulder and midfielder Roque Mesa made their Swans debuts as their League Two opponents won thanks to a first-half goal from John Akinde.
But all eyes were on Sigurdsson, whose future Clement wants to be resolved as soon as possible.
"You don't want to be in a situation where it's dragging on through July and all through August, when the season's started, with the situation not being resolved. The sooner the better," the former Bayern Munich assitant manager added.
"I don't know how people are going to behave in the future. I know the kind of character I worked with last year - someone who's very professional.
"He's come back, he's got his head down and he's doing his work, so I hope that continues.
"He's one of our most valuable players. He showed that last season with his goals and his assists, and he was instrumental in us maintaining our Premier League status."
There is no question that the US car industry is back and booming. 2015 was a record year for car sales in the US, and 2016 is expected to be just as strong.
Carmakers are not taking any chances though, displaying the latest luxury, the coolest tech features, and of course, the fastest motors at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
But unlike the futuristic vehicles on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week, carmakers in Detroit are keen to emphasise cars can be driven now.
Take the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, unveiled at a chic event on Sunday night.
The car is the closest thing to a driverless vehicle that can legally be taken on the road. It features remote control parking via a smartphone app, evasive manoeuvre assistance to help avoid road hazards, and cruise control that changes speed based on road signs.
The E-Class practically begs drivers to do something risky, just so it can take control. In case there is an accident, the car's sound system emits a noise to prevent hearing loss, and pushes the front-seat occupants towards the centre if the vehicle.
And still the car's most impressive feature is - it is road ready. Mercedes plans to start selling the 2017 E-Classes in the US this summer.
Dieter Zetsche, head of Mercedes-Benz, says innovation like autonomous driving has been motivated in part by players outside the industry, like Google. But he says for the car to sell it must "consist of more than just autonomous driving".
"It is good to have competition from outside the industry because it makes us strive to even better performance, but at the end of the day we will see who succeeds in front of the customer," says Mr Zetsche.
Autonomous driving, smart cars connected to smart homes, and gesture controlled cars, all seem amazing, but are years away from being ready.
Carmakers know drivers are ready to buy new cars, and they want to be the beneficiaries of that spending. So most cars at motor shows do not just have to be cool - they have to be real.
Approximately 17.5 million cars were sold in the US in 2015 - making it the best year on record for the industry. According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, 17.7 million cars are likely to be sold in 2016.
Part of the reason is the economic recovery in the US. Credit continues to be cheap, and the anticipation that it will get more expensive as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates has encouraged people to take out car loans sooner than later.
Another reason is the age of the cars most people are driving. The average car on the road in the US was 11.5 years in July 2015, according to IHS Automotive.
Americans held on to their cars longer as they waited for the economy to improve. During that time drivers were able to dream about the vehicles and features they wanted.
Falling oil prices have helped too.
The Detroit Motor Show is a chance for carmakers to show that while buyers were waiting, they were making improvements and creating new designs that are ready to fulfil those fantasies.
"Most of the debuts in Detroit are cars people can drive now or very soon," says Michelle Krebs a senior analyst at autotrader.com.
Ms Krebs adds that car companies can no longer afford to produce "ridiculous concept vehicles that bear no resemblance to reality".
Car companies need vehicles that can generate a profit in the near term, which is why the vehicles released at car shows have become more and more like their road ready offspring.
Though just because the cars have to reflect some amount of practicality doesn't mean the companies are ditching the fanfare. Mercedes held a glitzy launch event at one of Detroit's top hotels, where the E-Class could be admired with a cocktail and tiny hors d'oeuvres served on large spoons.
Ten minutes away General Motors rented out Detroit's hip Easter Market to host a warehouse party for its Buick line.
The event featured the Buick Envision, another example of practicality in action. The company says the small sport utility vehicle (SUV) fills a gap in Buick's line up, and includes such snazzy features as a turbo-charged four-cylinder engine and parking assistance.
The most significant part of the Envision though is that it is built in China.
The Envision will be new to the US market, but has been sold in China for more than a year.
The company says building in China allows them to use existing plants and begin selling the car in the US by the summer. Buick is banking on Americans' desire to buy cars now, over any hesitations about where the car is made.
The motor show opens to the public on 16 January, and there will certainly be exciting new models and tech to see.
Rather than enticing drivers to dream about the cars of the future though, expect carmakers to show off the coolest vehicles ready to hit the open road.
The law limits protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.
Businesses, entertainers and sports teams have boycotted North Carolina over the controversial bill.
But state legislators were unable to reach agreement after late additions were made to the proposed deal.
The law, known as HB2, was introduced in response to an ordinance from the city of Charlotte, which would have afforded extensive protections to LGBT people.
HB2 placed limits on this, particularly by requiring transgender people to use toilets that correspond to the sex listed on their birth certificates.
A compromise deal was announced several days ago, when Charlotte agreed to repeal its ordinance and the Republican-dominated senate agreed to repeal HB2 - effectively a "reset" of the entire controversy.
The city of Charlotte went ahead and voted to reverse its ordinance. The senate's repeal of HB2, however, never materialised.
Republicans added a provision on Wednesday which included a ban for several months on cities passing any similar ordinances to grant protections to the LGBT community.
"This wasn't the deal," said Senator Jeff Jackson, a Charlotte Democrat. "This bill breaks this deal. Charlotte would have not repealed its ordinance if this was the deal."
North Carolina's legislature is deeply divided. Last week, the Republican-controlled legislature took unprecedented steps to strip powers from the Democrat governor-elect following his election victory.
"The legislature had a chance to do the right thing for North Carolina, and they failed,'' Governor-elect Roy Cooper said. "This was our best chance. It cannot be our last chance."
The political fallout from HB2 was enormous, costing the state millions of dollars.
The National Basketball Association (NBA) moved its all-star game to another state, Bruce Springsteen and others cancelled concerts there, and PayPal dropped expansion plans, costing the state 400 jobs. The US Justice Department has taken legal action against North Carolina over the bill.
The controversy over bathroom rights became a national talking point, and is widely seen as having cost outgoing Republican Governor Pat McCrory his post.
Governor McCrory issued his own statement on the day's proceedings, which he said were about "a manufactured political issue".
"This was at least the third time that pressure from the left sabotaged bipartisan good faith agreements for political purposes," he said.
"As I've stated multiple times, the balance between privacy and equality is not just a North Carolina issue, it is a national issue that will be resolved by the US Supreme Court in the near future."
But the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said lawmakers were "refusing to clean up the mess they made".
"The legislature may not be willing to undo their unconstitutional overreach and respect the rights of LGBT people, so we'll just have to see them in court," the group said in a statement.
The Ukrainian Security Service put the Russian-language conversations on YouTube within hours of the crash.
The veracity of the recordings cannot be confirmed.
[Male voice, identified as separatist leader Igor Bezler] The group of the Miner [an alias] has just shot down a plane, which came down just behind Yenakiyevo.
[Col Geranin] Pilots. Where are the pilots?
[Bezler] Gone to search for and photograph the plane. It's smoking.
[Second male voice, identified as Russian military intelligence Colonel Vasily Geranin] How many minutes ago?
[Bezler] About 30 minutes ago.
[Male voice, captioned as "The Greek" ] Yes, Major.
[Major] Well, the Chernukhino lads shot down the plane.
[Greek] Who shot it down?
[Major] From the Chernukhino roadblock. The Cossacks at Chernukhino.
[Greek] Yes, Major.
[Major] Well, the plane fell apart in the air, near the Pertropavlovskaya coal mine. The first casualty 200 [military jargon for dead body] has been found. A civilian.
[Greek] Well, what do you have there?
[Major] Basically it was 100% a civilian aircraft.
[Greek] Are many people there?
[Major] [Curses] The debris fell right into backyard.
[Greek] What kind of aircraft?
[Major] I have not figured this out yet because I haven't been close to the main body of the debris. I am only looking where the first bodies began to fall. There are the remnants of inner brackets, chairs and bodies there.
[Greek] I see. Any weaponry there?
[Major] Nothing at all. Civilian things, medical bits and bobs, towels, toilet paper.
[Greek] Any documents?
[Major] Yes. From an Indonesian student. From Thompson University [curses].
[Male voice, identified as a fighter] Regarding the plane shot down in the area of Snezhnoye-Torez. It's a civilian one. Fell down near Grabovo. There are lots of corpses of women and children. The Cossacks are out there looking at all this.
They say on TV it's a Ukrainian AN-26 transport plane, but they say it's got Malaysia Airlines written on the plane. What was it doing in Ukrainian territory?
[Male voice, identified as Cossack commander Nikolai Kozitsyn] That means they were carrying spies. They shouldn't be [curses] flying. There is a war going on.

Braintree went ahead within eight minutes as Michael Cheek rose highest to meet right-back Sean Clohessy's cross.
Dover's Ricky Miller had a goal ruled out midway through the half as they chased an equaliser, before the home side threatened to double their advantage as Craig Braham-Barrett struck the outside of Mitch Walker's post.
The equaliser came in the 64th minute, when Connor Essam headed in Joe Healy's free-kick, and it got worse for the home side moments later as Braham-Barrett, against his former club, received a straight red for a dangerous challenge on Ricky Modeste.
Reece Hall-Johnson went close to an unlikely Braintree winner but it was Dover who took the spoils as substitute Mitch Pinnock found Miller who converted in the last minute, dropping Braintree into the relegation zone.

Staff member Esther Kidemba died from severe head injuries, Strathmore University confirmed in a statement.
Panic spread after security officials fired gunshots as part of the drill at midday on Monday, local media report.
Several students said they had not been given advance warning of the security exercise.
Most of the injuries were caused by people jumping from windows, a medical source told AFP news agency.
"We were not informed... we just heard gunshots and had to run for our dear lives," one student told the local Capital FM news website.
Strathmore University said in an official statement that the drill had been carried out to test "the preparedness of the university community and emergency team in the event of an attack".
It added that teams of students and staff had been trained in "evacuation, assembly points and exit points", but did not elaborate on whether people had been notified about the timing of the drill.
"Unfortunately some students and staff panicked and got injured," it said in a statement released before the news of Ms Kidemba's death was confirmed.
Many Kenyans have taken to social media to condemn the university over the apparent mishandling of the exercise and for putting the lives of students and staff at risk.
"What happened today at Strathmore University was an attack, not a drill!," commented one twitter user.
The university has said it will cover the medical costs of those injured as a result of the exercise.
Nairobi police chief Japheth Koome said all the proper procedures were followed for Monday's drill, Reuters news agency reports.
In April. the Kenyan government instructed the country's higher education institutions to provide training to teach students how to respond in the event of a terror attack.
It followed the killing of at least 148 people, mainly students, in an attack by Islamist militant group al-Shabab on Garissa University College in north-eastern Kenya.
The two amendments - on securing EU citizens' rights in the UK and giving Parliament a "meaningful vote" on any deal - were supported by the opposition, but it wasn't enough to block the government's pleas for an unamended bill.
There was a chance that, with their amendments defeated in the Commons, the Lords would reiterate their position when the bill returned to the House, but peers decided to back down, with many Labour peers abstaining from the vote.
The House of Commons had considered their recommendations and peers decided to respect their decision without a fight.
In doing so, the bill received Royal Assent on Thursday, allowing the government to trigger Article 50 before the end of the month as planned.
Here are a few of the more notable moments from this week's debate:
"First, the bill was brought forward to implement the referendum result, respect the Supreme Court judgment, and nothing else. Secondly, these amendments are unnecessary as the government have already made firm commitments with regard to both of the two issues, and we will deliver on those commitments. Thirdly, these amendments will undermine the government's position in negotiations to get the best deal for Britain, and that cannot be in the national interest."
"These are simple amendments that would improve the Article 50 process. They have obtained cross-party support and large majorities in the Lords, they are the right amendments on vitally important issues, and the obsession with the idea of a clean, unamended bill should not triumph over decency and principle."
"If we pass the bill today, we will be passing this government a blank cheque on one of the most crucial issues that this Parliament has ever discussed, an issue that will have an impact on each and every one of us and each and every one of our constituents."
"Everyone in Europe knows how divided our nation is. They know about the deliberations in this place and in the other place. They also know that, of those who voted, only 52% voted for us to leave the European Union. I urge the government, for the sake of bringing unity not only to our party but to the country at large, to allow Parliament's sovereignty to reign and, in the event of no deal, to allow us to have a vote and a say."
"Stubbornness can be a sign of suspicion and weakness, not strength; rejecting the rightful, conventional role of the House of Commons and the other place to apply democratic accountability to the actions and decisions of the Executive can be a sign of weakness, not strength; and this specious argument that condemns the lack of democratic accountability in Brussels while undermining it here, in the mother of all Parliaments, is a sleight of hand that should not be lightly forgotten."
"There is a terrible irony here. We are hearing the voices of those who, in the course of the referendum, used the restoration of parliamentary sovereignty as one of their principal arguments for voting to leave the EU, but whose enthusiasm for that sovereignty disappears in a puff of smoke when the House is asked to put that sovereignty on the statute book."
"We cannot tie the prime minister's hands. It is inconceivable that we would legislate, make that judicially reviewable and, at the same time, pass amendments the effect of which would be to introduce a Committee of Parliament that would decide on questions that have to be decided on by the government. Our constitution operates by parliamentary government, not by Committee of Parliament, otherwise we would go back to the 17th Century."
"My point tonight is that, whatever the realities of what people want, neither amendment satisfies the requirement to protect EU nationals or to give this Parliament a meaningful vote without damaging the prospects for the government's negotiations."
"Given that the other place has done as we asked and thought again, and decided to reject the amendment by a majority of 48, I argue with respect that this evening is not the time nor the place to return to the fray and insert terms and conditions to our negotiating position."
"Many people will be watching us tonight: we cannot please them all, but we can show them that no matter what the pressures from the media or the threats from the government may be, we are prepared to do what we know to be the right thing. I have no doubt that the right thing is to insist on this amendment to protect the rights of EU citizens in the UK and, in doing so, to uphold the honour and integrity of this country."
"[EU citizens] are being used as a bargaining chip, which is very hurtful to me and others."
"I will take no lessons from the Liberal Democrats, who confessed to me outside the Chamber that this appeals to their core vote and they are piling on members because of it. So we are here to move a motion to help them gain members."
"How do they justify extolling the supremacy of Parliament - the House of Commons and your Lordships' House - and wanting Parliament to have the last word on the terms of our leaving the EU, when for the past 43 years they have supported our EU membership and still do so?"
"I have always said that in this House we respect the primacy of the other place. We said that there should be no extended ping-pong but that we would listen to what the Commons had to say. If the noble Lord [referring Lord Oates, Lib Dem] really believes that by voting for this motion tonight he will change the mind of the other place, then he can go ahead but do not give false hope to people who rely on this House to make a point to get the other side to think again."
The student protests organised to force President Viktor Yanukovych and Prime Minister Mykola Azarov to sign an association agreement with the EU developed into a revolution that overthrew the government and sparked a counter-revolution in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region.
The revolution, or rather its success, frightened Russia and President Vladimir Putin and he ordered the rollout of a plan to annex Crimea.
Nationalist forces inside the Russian Federation, groomed by Russian media for years and flushed with the annexation, took it upon themselves to free the east of Ukraine from the rest of the country. Behind them came Russian military hardware and soldiers, although the Kremlin insists they were not on official army service.
This war, officially called an Anti-Terrorism Operation, has continued for some months.
From a distance it might seem that the student protests simply pushed over the first in a line of political dominoes, all of which fell in their turn.
In fact, the war we have now with Russia has pushed aside the Maidan Revolution, which started in a now dark and sombre past, on 21 November 2013.
Few have tried to analyse the progress of those protests and establish what actually happened. But, after a year, it is time to start making sense of what occurred.
Did Viktor Yanukovych ever intend to sign the treaty of association with the EU?
If he had ever wanted to do that, I feel it was only in order to take revenge on President Putin for not fulfilling his promises, including the promise of lower gas prices.
This explains why, having later received $15bn of cheap credit and discounted gas, Mr Yanukovych so casually and quickly rejected the opportunity of a European future for Ukraine.
On 29 November, for the first time since Ukrainian independence, the special forces police or "Berkut" used violence against protesters, sparking mass protests which, as it turned out, the president and his entourage could not control.
After the disappointment that came with the previous governments of Viktor Yushchenko and Yulia Timoshenko, I often heard people say that the Orange Revolution which the two leaders were part of had not come to anything because victory had been achieved without a real struggle, with no blood and no fatalities.
I was often reminded of these words after 21 November. First, when not far from the peaceful protests on Independence Square radically-minded participants began building barricades on Grushevsky Street which leads up to the parliament.
A good number of people were fed up with peaceful protest in 2013.
Many realised that Viktor Yanukovych would hold on to power to the last, but at the time few considered where this hatred of him came from, a hatred that roused hundreds of thousands of people from their usual state of political apathy and sent them to Kiev's Maidan to stand under the blows of police truncheons and the deadly aim of expert snipers.
Today, I am sure that this hatred appeared a long time before the student protests.
It took shape back in 2010 when Mr Yanukovych first became president. That was when he decided to take the entire country under his control, replacing the top and middle echelons of state authority with representatives of the Donbas region, sweeping aside the indigenous elite.
He had never studied Ukrainian history and probably did not know that, in 1945, exactly the same policy had been practised by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In Western Ukraine, the local elite were replaced by "specialists" from other regions and republics of the USSR.
That policy gave rise to a guerrilla war that lasted for 15 years.
The attempt to colonise the whole of Ukraine with the Donetsk elite set the population of all regions against Yanukovych, at the same time reinforcing in the minds of the population the idea of the Donbas as a territory where criminal methods were casually employed to take control of the entire country - all the business and the flow of financial resources.
That is why Ukrainians spent only the first eight days of their protest fighting for the choice of Europe.
After that, the mass protests were about a rogue state that featured an incredibly high level of corruption and a lack of respect for human rights.
I well understand that, had it not been for the barricades on Grushevsky Street and the radicals from Right Sector and Svoboda who took up arms against the police who were sent to control them, the revolution would not have succeeded.
Had the revolution not succeeded, President Putin would not have annexed Crimea, there would be no war in Donbas and Russian nationalists and Russian secret services, together with pro-Russian activists, would not have tried to incite uprisings against Kiev in Odessa and other cities in the south-east.
But dominoes only fall one by one. They cannot raise themselves again. Equally, you cannot rewind history.
It is unclear how the current chapter of Ukrainian history will end. I remain optimistic in spite of the pain I feel remembering those who died in the battle for a new Ukraine and those who are still dying and risking their lives on the Donbas frontline.
I do believe Ukraine will withstand it all and will maintain her independence and that the Ukrainian people will hold on to their desire to live in a civilised state cleared of a corrupt elite and corrupt judiciary.
But without the European Union's help, Ukraine will not be able to achieve this. Not because the Ukrainians lack determination, but because beside Ukraine stands a Russia which needs Ukraine to remain as it was under Yanukovych and other presidents - weak, passive and corrupt.

Without Olympic champions Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford and Jessica Ennis-Hill, Britain won a silver and two bronze.
Long jumper Dan Bramble finished sixth on Sunday, as did Stephanie Twell and Lee Emanuel in their 3,000m events.
"There were more medal hopes so three might be seen as disappointing," said BBC Sport pundit Steve Cram.
Eighteen-year-old Ethiopian Yomif Kejelcha (7min 57.21secs) showed he will be a threat to Farah at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, racing clear to win the 3,000m from surprise silver medallist Ryan Hill of the United States, with Emmanuel (8:00.70) never nearer than at the end.
In her event, Twell kept pace well and was still in medal contention with four laps remaining.
Ethiopian Genzebe Dibaba (8:47.43) was too good though and she eventually finished almost seven seconds clear of the field to win gold.
Isobel Pooley finished 10th in the high jump, clearing 1.89m, whilst Chris O'Hare finished eighth in the 1500m.
Britain finished 16th in the overall medal table, compared to fourth two years ago.
Only one medal came on the track, through Tiffany Porter in the 60m.
Lorraine Ugen finished third in the long jump, with Robbie Grabarz winning Britain's only silver in the high jump.

Police are investigating racist chanting at St Pancras station by men thought to be Chelsea fans returning from a Champions League match in Paris.

The Venezuelan entrepreneur has a manufacturing facility in a rough part of the capital Caracas, where the local armed gang demands that a "tax" be paid by every business, to ensure that owners and staff are not attacked.
"And those who don't pay are threatened at gunpoint, threatened with death, or being kidnapped," says Mr Martinez, 40.
With the Venezuelan economy continuing to be mired in its worst recession for more than 70 years, Mr Martinez says he simply doesn't have the money to pay the criminals, so he is having to stay away.
The fact that he is a wheelchair user, paralysed after a surfing accident when he was 20, appears to be of no concern to the local gang. Nor that his business - Discapaland - is the only company in Venezuela that designs products for disabled people, such as crutches, access ramps and parallel bars.
Mr Martinez last visited the factory in December, but says he could no longer cope with the intimidation from the mafia group, which calls itself "the unionists".
After seeing a friend kidnapped for not paying the protection money (she was eventually released unharmed after her family paid a ransom), he feared that it would only be a matter of time before it was his turn to be bundled into the back of a car.
"I was subjected to a daily psychological harassment," he says. "Thinking that I could be the next one [to be kidnapped] didn't let me work in peace."
For the past five months, Mr Martinez and his two employees have been surviving by selling some of the products they had stockpiled. Yet with the unemployment rate in Venezuela now at 17%, and disabled people often struggling to find work at the best of times, business has been slow.
But even if you aren't threatened by armed gangs, it is a very tough time to try to run a business in Venezuela.
Venezuela is the fourth worst country in the world in which to try to run a company, according to the World Bank's 2016 Doing Business report.
The organisation found that only South Sudan (civil war), Libya (civil war) and Eritrea (military dictatorship) were judged to be even more difficult. So, according to the World Bank, it is easier to run a business in Syria than it is to do so in Venezuela.
The report found that Venezuela was very poor across the 10 criteria on which it judged each country, from the ease of starting a business, to protecting investors, and importing and exporting.
This situation might be bearable if the Venezuelan oil-dominated economy was performing well, but it is expected to shrink by 8% this year after contracting by 5.8% in 2014.
For the country's small businesses, the knock-on impact is having to deal with an inflation rate of nearly 700% - the highest in the world - and continuing strict controls on access to the US dollars required to make overseas purchases.
Add government enforced limits on private sector prices, and widespread corruption, and the situation is pretty bleak for Venezuelan entrepreneurs.
At Caracas-based small brewery Coronarias, its three founders, friends Juan Manuel Torres, 24, Daniel Dimas, 24, and Rafael Rojas, 24, have had to resort to smuggling their key raw materials into the country - the barley and hops they need to make their beer.
"We bring back ingredients inside our luggage every time we go abroad," says Mr Torres. "This seems to be the only way."
The three co-founders, who set up the business in 2013, admit that they also need to resort to buying dollars on the black market.
Yet despite their struggles, they are able to make 1,000 litres of beer a month from a house in eastern Caracas. Mr Torres says: "For the time being it is enough to satisfy our clients."
Looking forward, Mr Torres says he hopes for a more benign economic backdrop, and that the three co-founders "want to [help] make Venezuela more productive, and to be the place it deserves to be".
While 1.5 million Venezuelans, or almost 6% of the population, are estimated to have left the country since 2010, there are numerous other young entrepreneurs who are also determined to stay and try to improve things.
Brothers Alejandro, 27, Enrique, 24, and Carlos Maduro, 30, are three such people.
They run Rapikito, a mini-chain of four supermarkets, which they set up in 2012 using savings from DJing as teenagers, and a bank loan.
Due to the country's mass food shortages, they currently cannot source bread, vegetables or meat, which - if available - go to the big, established supermarkets. So instead Rapikito focuses on selling crisps, sweets, alcohol and soft drinks.
Alejandro Maduro says the sky-high inflation rate, and controls on the prices they can charge, makes making a profit very difficult, but that they were committed to the business and Venezuela in general.
He says: "If we leave the country, what would be left?"
Jorge Roig, ex-president of the Venezuelan Chamber of Commerce says that while authorities have supported new businesses in the past, more needs to be done. The government was not available for comment.
Back at his business making products for disabled people, Alejandro Martinez says he plans to open a new factory in a safer part of Caracas.
He says: "We need to get used more to saying 'made in Venezuela'."
It happened just after 16:00 GMT on the Toberdoney Road, in Liscolman, near Bushmills.
The boy was taken to the Causeway Hospital before being transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.
A man in his 70s has been arrested. Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
Ronald Burton was convicted of lewd and libidinous behaviour towards a boy from 1994 to 1996, and of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy in 2014.
The 61-year-old had his appeal upheld by Edinburgh's High Court of Justiciary after serving eight months in prison.
The appeal centred of the use of the "Moorov doctrine" for conviction.
The principle means that two or more separate offences, each witnessed by only one person, can be grouped together to show a pattern of behaviour and then used in a court case.
The Lord Justice Clerk, Lady Dorrian said for the rule to apply, the similarity in offences needed to show a "course of conduct systematically pursued by the accused".
She also highlighted that the temporal gap between the offences, at its shortest, was just under 17 years.
Lady Dorrian said: "It was argued that the circumstances were such that the trial judge was correct to leave the decision to the jury.
"However, it has been repeatedly stated that the rule of mutual corroboration must be approached with caution, and this especially when there are only two complainers.
"In the present case there is the added factor of a 17-year interval between the respective accounts.
"We are satisfied that the issue should have been withdrawn from the jury. In the circumstances the appeal must succeed."
Mr Burton, an ex-assistant principal teacher, had maintained his innocence throughout his trial.
Davis Cup will retain its three-day format, with doubles matches on the Saturday still the best-of-five sets, and the dead rubber policy will also be amended.
Both Davis Cup and Fed Cup finalists will have the choice of hosting their first-round tie the following year.
The changes still require AGM approval.
The ITF will be asked to approve these changes at its meeting in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in August and president David Haggerty is confident they will be passed.
"Davis Cup and Fed Cup are two of the most iconic team competitions in sport, but there is no doubt change is needed to ensure that we maximise their full potential," he said.
"While still needing AGM approval, we are confident that our National Associations will see that to vote for these reforms is to vote for the long-term future of our competitions and our sport."
In February, almost 87.9% of people were seen within time, up from 87.1% in January.
But weekly waiting times, which cover major hospitals only, show a slight drop in performance.
The Scottish government said it had been challenging winter, but there were signs of improvement.
The latest figures show Scotland's main A&E units dealt with 26,465 patients between 23 and 29 March.
Of those, 91.3% of people were seen within four hours, compared to 91.7% the previous week.
A total of 213 had to wait more than eight hours to be seen, while 22 spent 12 hours or more in A&E.
Only the weekly figures can be compared with those produced in England, where 87.8% of A&E admissions at major hospitals were seen within four hours during the same week.
The Scottish government first began publishing weekly waiting times in March, following one of the worst winters for Scottish A&Es in recent years.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said waiting times were improving.
She said: "As the weekly figures for February have already shown us, this year's winter was a very challenging one for our A&E departments. However, we are seeing signs of improvement with waits reducing in February when compared to January, and further improvement throughout March.
"Attendances at A&E over the last year have also risen when compared to the two previous years, however, it is encouraging to see that long waits have dropped significantly since the start of the year, with figures for the week ending 29 March showing that 0.8% of patients waited for more than eight hours."
But Scottish Labour health spokeswoman Jenny Marra said only her party had the policies to reduce waiting times.
She said: "It has been more than 2,000 days since the SNP last met their own target on A&E figures. If anything, we appear to be going backwards as patients wait too long for treatment at our overstretched A&E departments.
The Scottish Liberal Democrat health spokesman Jim Hume said the Scottish government should prioritise the NHS.
He said: "It's disappointing once again to see that whilst NHS staff are doing their utmost to deliver excellent patient care, the SNP government doesn't have its priorities straight. NHS staff need more resources and only Liberal Democrats are committed to delivering an £800m boost to the Scottish NHS."
Weather officials warn of high winds, rain and flash flooding as the weather system now moves up the east coast.
Four people were killed in Mississippi and 15 in Georgia during the weekend's tornadoes and thunderstorms.
President Trump has pledged federal assistance to the three states that have been most-affected by the storms.
"The tornadoes were vicious and powerful and strong and they suffered greatly," Mr Trump said on Sunday at the White House.
"So we'll be helping out," he added.
The Georgia Emergency Management Agency said that the 15 victims were in the southern Cook, Brooks, Dougherty and Berrien counties.
Most of the deaths occurred in Cook County, when a mobile home park was apparently struck by a tornado.
Cook County coroner Tim Purvis said numerous mobile homes had been "levelled" before dawn on Sunday in the park near the city of Adel.
Emergency teams are still searching for survivors beneath the rubble, he added, and by Monday evening, residents had not been permitted to return.
Mr Purvis estimated that the park has about 40 mobile homes in total, and roughly half were destroyed.
"These storms have devastated communities and homes in South Central Georgia, and the state is making all resources available to the impacted areas," Governor Deal said in a statement.
"Trailers are just flat, just laid on top of people", rescue worker Debbie Van Brackel told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"You need a bulldozer to pull it off. Trailers are upside down."
In Brooks County, coroner Michael Miller said two people died when an apparent tornado tossed a mobile home around 100 yards into the middle of Highway 122.
Swathes of the south-eastern United States have been hit by storms over the weekend.
Several tornadoes were also reported in South Carolina and Florida, officials say.
In southern Mississippi, four people died in the path of a tornado with winds above 218 km/h (136 mph).
More than 50 others were injured and about 1,100 homes were damaged or destroyed, state officials said.
The Georgia Emergency Management Agency issued advice on the best and worst places to shelter from a tornado late on Saturday, advising locals in the path of a tornado to cover themselves with blankets or a mattress for protection.

A controversial redevelopment plan for the park has sparked two weeks of anti-government unrest.
After Mr Erdogan's speech, police fired tear gas and water cannon, and advanced into Gezi Park.
The protesters have vowed to stay there, despite a promise by the PM to halt the plan until a court ruling on the issue.
Mr Erdogan made his remarks in a speech at an AK party rally in a suburb of the capital Ankara.
"Staying there [in Gezi Park] makes no sense anymore as the matter is now in the hands of the courts," he told tens of thousands of cheering supporters.

Turkey sails further into dangerous waters
Last month, an Istanbul court issued an initial injunction against the plan to cut down trees in the park to make way for a shopping centre and replica 18th-Century military barracks. The government has appealed against the ruling.
During the rally, Mr Erdogan also repeated a pledge to hold a referendum in Istanbul on the issue.
"If there are still brothers there, please leave because this park belongs to the population of Istanbul. It is not an area to be occupied by illegal organisations," he said.
"Nobody can intimidate us. We take no orders or instruction from anyone but God," he added, according to AFP.
He also dismissed the wave of anti-government protests as part of an organised plot against him.
Mr Erdogan has issued deadlines before - but this was a confident performance from a man who is a natural orator, the BBC's Chris Morris reports from Istanbul.
The crowd loved it, and Mr Erdogan said that as long as he had their support, no lobby or interest group could stop them, our correspondent adds.
After the speech, riot police fired tear gas and water cannon at demonstrators in Taksim Square and Gezi Park.
Protesters in the park have remained defiant despite Mr Erdogan's promise to halt the redevelopment plan.
The offer was presented as a major concession. But after all-night discussions in Gezi Park, the protesters said their movement was more than just a conservation protest and vowed to stay on.
"We shall remain in the park until all of our democratic rights are recognised,'' Tayfun Kahraman, a member of Taksim Solidarity - the group seen as most representative of the protesters - told the Associated Press, insisting that four key demands laid out by protesters in the talks had not been met.
Apart from halting the Gezi Park redevelopment project, Taksim Solidarity has also formulated the following demands:
On Friday night, riot police again used tear gas and water cannon to disperse demonstrators in the capital Ankara. About 30 protesters were reported to have been arrested.
Five people have died and thousands have been injured since the protests began on 31 May, spreading to the adjacent Taksim Square a day later and then to other towns and cities across Turkey.
Protesters have accused Mr Erdogan's government of becoming increasingly authoritarian and of trying to impose conservative Islamic values on a secular state.
The police crackdown on protesters in Istanbul, Ankara, and other towns and cities has drawn international concern, especially from Europe.
Farid Khan was stripped naked by the crowd, beaten and dragged through streets before being hanged in Dimapur, the main city in Nagaland state.
Police officers opened fire to try to stop the mob, wounding several people.
Tensions in the country are high following the government's decision to ban India's Daughter, a film about the 2012 gang rape of a student.
The Hindustan Times newspaper reports that the crowd "tore down two gates and took custody" of the suspect, before dragging him to the town's landmark clock tower.
Police say the man was a Bengali-speaking Muslim trader from neighbouring Assam state. He was arrested in February on charges of rape.
There have been recurring tensions in some parts of north-eastern India between Bengali speakers, accused of being immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh, and local ethnic groups.
Local groups began protests on Wednesday demanding action against the alleged rapist.
Vigilante justice is not unheard of in India but it is rarely seen on this scale. A curfew has been imposed in Dimapur following incidents of arson in some parts of the city.
India's rape crisis has been pushed back to the forefront of public discourse by the decision of the government to ban the BBC documentary India's Daughter, which examines the 2012 gang rape of a young student in Delhi.
The documentary features an interview with one of the men sentenced to death for the attack.
His lack of remorse and suggestions that the victim might have survived if she had not resisted has drawn international outrage and sparked protests across India.
The film was broadcast in the UK on Wednesday night.
Alun Davies defended the Welsh Government's £3m contribution to Yr Egin as an "important investment".
The University of Wales Trinity St David had promised its development would not require public funding.
Mr Davies said he did not know if it would create 600 jobs as claimed, but was "confident" of new opportunities.
He told the Welsh Assembly's culture committee on Wednesday that he saw Yr Egin as an important investment, supporting the economy of west Wales and the Welsh language.
There was an "important role" for the Welsh Government to invest where there was a failure in the market, he added, helping to create high-quality jobs in the medium of Welsh in an area such as Carmarthenshire.
In March, university chiefs told the committee that the building - due to open in late spring 2018 - had not yet signed up any tenants other than S4C.
Mr Davies added that S4C could do more to support skills development, in partnership with other broadcasters, trade bodies, unions and the new Creative Wales body being set up by the Welsh Government.
Simon Thomas, Plaid Cymru Mid and West Wales AM, said: "I'm glad the Welsh Government supported this important development which will benefit not just the west Wales, but also the Welsh language media industry as it creates a number of high quality jobs."

Steven Price, who was educated in Nottingham and now lives in Surrey, won his Oscar for the movie Gravity.
He admits he "panicked slightly" during his Oscar acceptance speech.
Navtej Johal reports.
Samples were taken from Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and from the bloodstained uniform of Alexander II, Nicholas's grandfather, killed in 1881.
The Romanov family members, who were killed by revolutionary Bolsheviks, are buried at a St Petersburg cathedral.
The Orthodox Church wants to confirm family links before other relatives can be reburied with them.
The long-running murder case had been closed in 1998, after DNA tests authenticated the Romanov remains found in a mass grave in the Urals in 1991.
But the DNA tests did not convince some Russian Orthodox Church members, because the remains of two - Tsarevich Alexei and Grand Duchess Maria - were found only in 2007, at a different spot in the Urals.
The Investigative Committee, a state body, says new checks are needed in order to authenticate the remains of those two.
Russia plans to rebury Alexei and Maria alongside the rest of the family in St Petersburg's Peter and Paul Cathedral. But for that to happen the Church wants to be certain about the remains.
Tsar Nicholas II, Alexandra, their four daughters - grand duchesses Anastasia, Maria, Olga and Tatiana - their son the Tsarevich Alexei and four royal staff members were murdered in the cellar of a house in Yekaterinburg in 1918.
One night they were lined up as if for a family photo, and then a Bolshevik firing squad killed them in a hail of bullets, according to witness accounts. Those who did not die immediately were bayonetted.
The royal couple and three daughters were formally reburied on 17 July 1998 - the 80th anniversary of the murder. They were canonised by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000.
Alexei and Maria are also likely to be canonised before the 100th anniversary in 2018. Their remains are currently kept at the Russian State Archives.
The new investigation also involves taking samples from Alexandra's sister the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna, buried in Jerusalem. Only now can Russian investigators get access to those remains.
The Romanovs were ousted from power and exiled in 1917, shortly before the communist Bolsheviks overthrew the provisional government.
Documents from the so-called "White Guards Investigation" concerning the family's 1918 murder will also be studied. They came to light in the past four years.
Tsar Alexander II was killed by a bomb thrown by a "People's Will" revolutionary in 1881, and buried in his military uniform in the Peter and Paul Cathedral.
A lawyer for Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, a descendant of the murdered Romanovs, said she supported the new investigation.
Quoted by Russia's Tass news agency, lawyer German Lukyanov said "not all aspects of the imperial family's murder were explained in the case, and not all the Russian Orthodox Church's questions were answered fully and clearly".
"The grand duchess hopes that the examination of the Yekaterinburg remains will be scientific... The truth must be established in this case, with an answer to the main question: whose are these remains?"
Then on Wednesday night, Mr Trump took matters into his own hands.
Minutes before the third and final presidential debate, the Trump campaign launched an alternative debate broadcast, streamed on Facebook live via the candidate's page and complete with Trump-styled political commentators and analysis.
The alternative broadcast, viewed by more than eight million people, could be the start of a new business venture for the New York tycoon: a Trump TV network.
On Monday, the Financial Times reported Mr Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, had informally approached a top media dealmaker to discuss setting up a network after the presidential election in November.
The Trump campaign denies there are plans for a channel, but the rumours suggest Mr Trump wants to capitalise on the anti-media sentiment he has drummed up among supporters.
Were Mr Trump to launch a network, he could likely rely on support from several "mainstream" conservative media talents, including Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly from Fox News.
Mr Hannity and Mr O'Reilly have clauses in their contracts that allow them leave the network after Roger Ailes's departure, according to the Financial Times.
They host two of the most popular shows on the network. A 2014 media study by Pew Research Center found that 19% of respondents who identified as mostly conservative and 45% of respondents who identified as consistently conservative got their political and government news from Mr Hannity's radio show.
Mr Hannity, a self-professed talk show host and effusive Trump supporter, came under fire earlier this year for a "soft-ball" interview he did with Mr Trump.
He responded to his critics saying, he "was not a journalist" and listeners should expect his interviews to be easier on Republican candidates because he believed in the "Republican vision".
Mr Trump could also likely count on support from Stephen Bannon, the chairman of right-wing news sites Breitbart, who currently runs the Trump campaign.
Roger Alies, the former head of Fox News and now ally of the Trump campaign, would be prohibited from working on a new Trump network due to the terms of his exit agreement with Fox.
Mr Ailes left the network in July after multiple sexual harassment claims were made against him.
Statistics also suggest a "Trump News Network" could count on Republican voters for an audience.
The Pew study found that respondents who identified as consistently conservative almost exclusively trusted conservative leaning media and talk show personalities.
The majority of conservative respondents also said they distrusted more than half of American media outlets, including public broadcasters.
By contrast, liberals said they distrusted less than 30% of the media, with their greatest levels of distrust reserved for conservative news talk shows, such as Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity.
Comments on Mr Trump's Facebook page after Wednesday night's debate supported the idea that conservatives are likely to only trust their own media.
"Love seeing us millennials and are new way of communication, no need for the New York Times, Boston Global, & Crooked bias coverage of NEWSPAPERS! We are live and connected through the Internet!" wrote one supporter.
Another said: "A very sincere thank you for bringing the truth to light. Not to mention your unsurpassed bravery, again thank you for fighting for us!!! God Bless America!"
Daniel Dawson, 36, of Darcy Lever, Bolton, had pleaded guilty to 19 offences of possessing and making indecent images of children.
At Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court, he was jailed for 12 months.
He was also given a sexual offences prevention order and made to sign the sex offenders register for 10 years.
Police said Dawson was caught in April following an international investigation into the activities of an online retailer based in Canada selling films containing child pornography and indecent images of children.
When warrants were executed at the Canadian premises, customers from around the world were identified and cases were passed to the relevant police forces.
Greater Manchester Police raided Dawson's home and seized a number of computers and media storage devices and a total of 1.5m images were recovered.
A computer specialist sampled more than 15,000 of these images and identified more than 6,500 indecent images of children aged six to 14 years old.
Due to the sheer volume of indecent images, the specialist could not examine all of the pictures.
Officers also recovered evidence that Dawson had repeatedly searched the internet for indecent images of children.
At the time, Dawson was working as a welfare officer at Glossopdale Community College in Derbyshire and coached at Middleton Lads and Girls FC.
He was suspended from both roles immediately following the initial police involvement.
Dawson previously held similar positions in other schools across the region.
There was no evidence to suggest Dawson committed any offences against the children he came into contact with in a professional capacity, police said.
Abdi Gutale, from Leytonstone, was killed when a gunman opened fire as he drove his Vauxhall Zafira down a residential street early on Saturday.
He was with friends in his car having just finished work when the shots were fired near the Melbourne Road and Capworth Street junction in Leyton.
Mr Gutale reversed to try to escape but hit a parked car and died at the scene.
One of his friends was shot in the foot.
Det Ch Insp Andrew Packer said: "From witness reports it appears in the immediate aftermath there were people running away from the scene.
"I continue to appeal to anyone who was in the area and witnessed this incident, or who has any information that could assist this investigation to come forward and speak to police."
Two men aged 19 and 31 were arrested on suspicion of murder and released on bail until early July.
But few think that the heated exchanges will have won over the 15% who say they are still undecided over who to vote for.
Emmanuel Galiero and François-Xavier Bourmaud of conservative Le Figaro say "Macron held up and asserted himself against Le Pen" in a "debate of unprecedented brutality that lacked substance".
Marine Le Pen "launched all-out war in an attempt to stifle her rival", but Emmanuel Macron "dominated his opponent on economic issues".
Overall it was a "dialogue of the deaf… as the positions of the two candidates appeared totally irreconcilable", the correspondents conclude.
Centre-left Le Monde agrees that stark differences were on display in the "brutal debate", and sides clearly with Mr Macron over his "repeated denunciations of the 'nonsense' talked by the National Front candidate".
Left-wing Liberation accuses Ms Le Pen of "drowning the debate in an avalanche of disinformation". Like several other papers, it fact-checks her "false and exaggerated statements".
Top-selling Ouest France says its fact-checkers found all of her accusations to be false or vague, and sometimes reflected the "agenda of pro-Russian or far-right internet sites".
Catholic La Croix's Francois Ernenwein, like Cecile Cornudet in Les Echos business daily, complains that the debate was "relentless without ever gaining clarity", but gives Mr Macron credit for "trying to answer his opponent's accusations without losing his cool".
In Germany, centre-left Sueddeutsche Zeitung's Leila Al-Serori thinks "neither candidate brought any new programme details to the debate, but rather wheeled out all their guns for the final TV duel".
She says that Emmanuel Macron "came across as presidential and self-confident, but also a bit arrogant: he gave as good as he got, but did not rise to her bait", while Marine Le Pen was "domineering, mocking and the more relaxed of the two, but did not appear stateswomanlike".
Like many commentators, she deems it "hard to see how either could have won over undecided voters".
Sascha Lehnartz of conservative Die Welt says the debate - "by far the worst of the Fifth Republic" - "went off the rails from the first minute", descending into "one long screaming match until an acceptable level was reached at the end".
He partly blames the two TV presenters, "who barely deserved the title", and agrees that undecided voters will not have been helped by the debate.
Like all commentators, he notes that a viewers' poll made Mr Macron the clear winner of the night. "One can only hope that the poll reflects reality. For either Emmanuel Macron wins on Sunday, or else it's all over for France," Lehnartz concludes.
Michaela Wiegel in the centre-right Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung also deplores the level of exchanges in "the most vague and aggressive debate the history of French televised presidential run-offs", in particular highlighting Ms Le Pen's charge that Mr Macron would "take his orders from Berlin".
The paper also hopes the viewers' poll is correct, as "given Le Pen's anti-EU stance, the vote concerns the fate of Europe".
In Italy, Corriere della Sera's Stefano Montefiori says Ms Le Pen's poor poll ratings mean "she had nothing to lose and so went all out, not to present her programme but to attack her opponent".
Anais Ginori of La Repubblica thinks she "used the Trump strategy of alluding, insulting and confusing" in contrast with her efforts in the first debate to try to seem "calm and ready to rule".
The correspondent says Ms Le Pen "appeared more spontaneous and expressive than Macron", but "largely failed in her effort to unnerve her opponent, who mocked her for consulting her notes as a sign of not knowing her stuff".
In Spain, centre-right El Mundo's correspondent Anric Gonzalez was dismayed by a "violent and messy debate… that degraded both contenders".
"Marine Le Pen appeared angry, as she represents the angry France damaged by globalisation and the single market… while Macron tended to get lost in the details, " he thinks, concluding that Mr Macron prevailed as the "lesser evil".
In Poland's liberal Gazeta Wyborcza, Piotr Moszynski of Radio France Internationale writes that the debate was "chaotic, with Marine Le Pen constantly referring to her prompt cards, avoiding the questions, and speaking off topic," and concludes that it is "unlikely to change voter preferences".
The lasting impression that many commentators took away from the debate was its unpleasant tone, and this was not lost on French viewers either.
Danish state broadcaster DR1's correspondent Stephanie Surrugue reports that the "atmosphere approached the hateful… shocking many television viewers who quickly expressed their disappointment at the level and tone on social media."

The decision means Mr Sarao will remain in custody while fighting his extradition to the United States.
Mr Sarao had requested that his bail conditions be relaxed, as his assets had been frozen.
But Judge Ross Cranston turned down his application.
"There's no substantial reassurance that this applicant is not a flight risk," he said.
Mr Sarao, 36, was arrested on a US extradition warrant on 21 April after being charged with wire fraud, commodities fraud and market manipulation by the US Department of Justice (DoJ).
In a bail hearing earlier this month, Mr Sarao said that he "did nothing wrong".
However, the DoJ claims that Mr Sarao and his firm, Nav Sarao Futures, made £26m ($40m) illegally over five years.
From the court: Andy Verity, economics correspondent, BBC news
Should the so-called "flash crash trader" Navinder Singh Sarao be kept in jail for months pending his extradition hearing?
On the face of it, Navinder Sarao's lawyers have some powerful arguments to make. He has been granted bail. But one of the conditions of bail, a requirement to pay £5m into court as security, is "impossible and unlawful for him to comply with". That, his lawyers say is because of a worldwide freezing order on his assets imposed by a US court.
"He has no money whatsoever," his barrister James Lewis QC told the High Court today. "If it was right in principle to grant bail it must follow that conditions of bail must not amount to a denial of bail."
In spite of vehement protests by Mr Lewis, Mr Justice Cranston went with the US authorities. Mr Sarao now faces the prospect of months in jail before and during the extradition proceedings, which are due to start in September and may last until the new year.
A long spell to spend in jail, considering he was granted bail - though his US accusers will have little sympathy. His lawyers will now try to demonstrate that he does not have assets elsewhere. They will struggle: it's never easy to prove a negative.
Mr Sarao ran the business from his parents' home in Hounslow, west London.
The DoJ accuses him of using an "automated trading program" to manipulate markets, and of contributing to the flash crash of 6 May 2010.
On that day, the Dow Jones index lost 700 points in a matter of minutes - wiping about $800bn off the value of US shares - before recovering just as quickly.
Regulators say one of the main causes of the crash was high-frequency traders placing multiple sell orders.
High-speed trading is where share dealers use computer algorithms to buy and sell stocks in milliseconds.
The 19-year-old made 21 appearances in all competitions for the Blues in 2016.
Last term she was named Manager's Player, Players' Player, Young Player and Supporter's Club Player of the Season at the club's annual awards.
Carter made her debut for the Blues in 2013, aged 16, in the Champions League.
Rooney says he went to see Ferguson, who was United manager for 26 years, after being dropped in 2013.
"It's not just me who's had a fall-out with him," added the forward, 29, in Rooney - The Man Behind The Goals, to be shown on BBC One on 5 October.
"I don't know what happened or why that came out that way."
The England captain added: "I went in to see him and just said if you're not going to play me it might be better if I moved on - then all of a sudden it's all over the press I put in a transfer request, which I never did."
Rooney did ask to leave United in October 2010 when the former Everton player pulled out of contract talks, saying he had not received "any of the assurances I was seeking about the future squad".
Ferguson said at the time he was "dumbfounded" by Rooney's desire to leave but, 48 hours later, Rooney signed a new five-year deal.
United went on to win the title that season, and Rooney later said staying at the club was the best decision of his career.
Rooney served Ferguson for nine years, and the Liverpool-born player says that despite the rift in 2013, Ferguson was "the best manager of all time".
"He was the reason why I wanted to join Manchester United, to work with him," added Rooney on how hard it was to leave boyhood heroes Everton for United in 2004.
"For him to be interested in me and want me to come and play under him, there was nowhere else I was going to go."
Rooney has played under four permanent England managers - Sven-Goran Eriksson, Steve McClaren, Fabio Capello and current boss Roy Hodgson.
"The one I've been most excited about was Fabio Capello with his record," said Rooney.
Capello was in charge of the national team for just over four years and took England to the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa, where the Three Lions won just one of their four games.
Asked if that period was a disappointment, he added: "It was. I just expected more.
"The time I've enjoyed playing for England most was under Sven and now under Roy.
"Times in between that I wasn't enjoying it as much as I should've."
Before the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Rooney fractured a metatarsal bone in his right foot and was close to missing the tournament.
Eriksson, England's manager at the time, reveals in the documentary that he fought with Ferguson over selecting the injured forward.
"It became a fight between Ferguson and myself," said the Swede.
"He just said 'don't dare to take him to the World Cup, that's it Sven... you don't take him'.
"But there would have been a revolution in England if I didn't pick him. They would have thrown me into the sea."
Rooney added: "Looking back, if I was to go back in time, I probably would have sat out the World Cup because it was a big ask to get fit after six weeks out."
Talking further about his England career, Rooney recalled watching England's 2004 European Championship quarter-final penalty shootout defeat by hosts Portugal from a wheelchair in a local hospital after being injured in the match.
"At the time, I felt like I was going to score in every game and help us win the tournament," he said.
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard reveals he went to watch Rooney play before meeting his former England team-mate for the first time.
"There was a video going round of him playing for Everton's academy," said Gerrard, now at Los Angeles Galaxy.
"His name kept coming up to me - 'Wayne Rooney, Wayne Rooney, have you seen anything of him? Have you heard of him?'
"He won't know this but, I went to watch him in a game and he scored a couple of goals. He had the Scouse swagger and the Scouse attitude - I quite liked what I saw."
Rooney reveals his love of poetry before meeting his future wife Coleen.
"I used to love writing poems. Before I was with Coleen, just normal poems," he said.
"I don't know why, I used to like writing little stories when I first got with Coleen. I used to write a lot of poems."
Gary Lineker's hour-long documentary, Rooney - The Man Behind The Goals, will be shown on BBC1 on Monday 5 October at 21:00 BST.
That is despite none being included in coach Gernot Rohr's squad to face South Africa in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on 10 June in Uyo.
China-based strikers Odion Ighalo and Brown Ideye both miss out while captain John Mikel Obi is injured.
"The season in China is still ongoing and it will be an hectic journey," team spokesman Toyin Ibitoye told BBC Sport.
"Coach Rohr has decided to keep faith with the strikers he's been working with in France for almost ten days now but those players in China are still part of the squad."
Also missing is Victor Moses, fresh from helping Chelsea win the English Premier League title, with reports that he is injured although no official reason has been given.
"Moses has been excused by the coach," Ibitoye explained.
Watford striker Isaac Success has been left out, while injury has ruled out Germany-based duo of Leon Balogun and Noah Serenren-Bazee.
In-form strikers Olanrewaju Kayode and Henry Onyekuru have been handed a chance to make their competitive debuts for Nigeria.
Onyekuru's 22 goals in the Belgian top flight has lead to him being linked with a move to English club Arsenal.
While Kayode finished as top scorer in the Austrian league with 17 goals for Austria Vienna.
Three-time African champions Nigeria have failed to qualify for the last two editions of the tournament in 2015 and 2017.
Nigeria squad:
Goalkeepers: Ikechukwu Ezenwa (FC IfeanyiUbah), Dele Alampasu (Cesarense FC, Portugal), Daniel Akpeyi (Chippa United, South Africa)

Paul Patterson allegedly stabbed PC Kevin Taylor on the leg with a knife during an incident in the Govan area of the city on Sunday.
The 38-year-old appeared in private at Glasgow Sheriff Court. He made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody.
A second court hearing was scheduled for next week.
Mr Patterson, from Govan, is accused of struggling with PC Taylor and "repeatedly attempting to stab" him on the body with a knife.
It is claimed he stabbed him on the leg with a knife "to his severe injury and did attempt to murder him".
Mr Patterson faces other charges including being in possession of a metal pole and knife, and assaulting Wilson Martin.
Mr Martin, 49, also appeared in private at the court charged with behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting, swearing, brandishing a hammer and challenging Mr Patterson to fight.
He is also accused of being in possession of a hammer.
Mr Martin made no plea or declaration and was granted bail. It is expected he will return to court at a later date.
Ian Ruddock denies compressing baby Olivia's chest and rib cage, shaking her repeatedly and inflicting blunt force trauma to her head.
The attacks are alleged to have taken place at the family home in Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, before the infant died in March 2011.
Mr Ruddock also denies assaulting two other children and a charge that he attempted to murder one of them.
The trial before Lord Bannatyne at the High Court in Edinburgh continues.
The Masters stirs emotions like no other tournament, especially for players like the genial Midlander, who was making a first trip with his sat nav set to Magnolia Lane.
Simply making the field is a badge of substantial honour. Of the four majors that dominate the golfing calendar, the Masters is the most exclusive.
Not just in terms of its verdant setting and the ultra-select club that runs the tournament, but in the number of players eligible to play.
Unlike the 156-man fields that assemble for the Open, US Open and PGA Championship, the qualification criteria for the Masters limits numbers usually to fewer than 100 players.
This year, in the absence of the injured Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk, Fred Couples and Jose Maria Olazabal - and with Korea's Sang-moon Bae doing his national service - there will be only 89 competitors.
Masters winners earn lifetime exemption, while the rest of the field effectively comprises PGA Tour champions, the leading 50 players in the world rankings, high finishers in majors and top amateur winners.
Not only are we dealing with fewer golfers, but many of those teeing off on Thursday can be eliminated from the reckoning before they have struck a ball in anger.
With apologies to Sullivan, history tells us we can strike off the 20 players making their Augusta debuts this year. Only Fuzzy Zoeller, in 1979, and the inaugural winner Horton Smith have donned a Green Jacket in their first appearance.
Augusta has to be learned to be tamed.
How will the teasing winds of Amen Corner answer a player's prayers in that crucial stretch that encompasses the 11th green, 12th hole and 13th tee?
When to aim at flags? Where are the release points that will funnel a ball to the hole-side? Attack or defend? Crucial questions that tend to only be answered with experience.
"Patience" was the word respected coach Pete Cowen used to sum up what is required. "At Augusta there's going to be some holes that just give you a slap round the ear," he told BBC Sport.
"The guy that wins is probably the one that's going to make the fewest mistakes on or around the greens."
Debutants also have to overcome the 'wow factor' that comes with soaking up the unique atmosphere of the place.
Last week Sullivan headed down the I20 for the journey he had been anticipating since his gilded Augusta invitation fell through his letterbox at Christmas.
"I've seen Augusta on the road signs a couple of times already - I'm literally counting down the miles," he told BBC Sport as he was being driven down this freeway to golfing destiny.
"As soon as I arrive I'll be putting on my spikes and heading straight out there. I just can't wait."
The 29-year-old, who has three European Tour victories, enjoys the big time and is not the sort of character to be daunted by this golfing cathedral.
He is easily talented enough to figure on leaderboards this week, as could fellow debutants Justin Thomas, Kevin Kisner, David Lingmerth, Emiliano Grillo and Rafael Cabrero Bello.
US-based Scot Russell Knox may still be waiting for his first top-20 finish this year - but Augusta may inspire the temperament that landed him the WGC title in Shanghai at the end of last year.
But in terms of predicting the winner, it feels safe to discount the debutants. After all, even a talent as prodigious as Jordan Spieth couldn't quite manage the feat two years ago.
And even though Leicester City top the Premier League, we can strike off the 2,500-1 shots such as former champion Sandy Lyle and his fellow 58-year-old Ian Woosnam, who will be marking the 25th anniversary of his 1991 victory.
But the Masters is well known for its multiple winners, indeed the most prolific - six-time champion Jack Nicklaus - this year celebrates the 30th anniversary of his iconic 1986 triumph.
Of the former winners in action there are probably only half-a-dozen contenders: Spieth, Bubba Watson, Adam Scott, Charl Schwartzel, Phil Mickelson and Zach Johnson.
Rory McIlroy has a game made for Augusta but has yet to prove he can eliminate ruinous runs like his outward 40 in the second round of last year's tournament.
The Northern Irishman's Masters results are improving. He was 15 under par for the concluding 45 holes to finish a career-best fourth in 2015.
Yet the traits of his year to date suggest he is still prone to mistakes that cancel out those birdies that never seem in short supply. The moment he eliminates such errors at Augusta will be the time he completes the career Grand Slam.
It might happen this week but that would mean bucking the trend of his winless year. Several opportunities for victories have been squandered.

World number one Jason Day has been more ruthless. In his last outing he beat McIlroy in the semi-finals of the WGC Matchplay en route to his second title in as many weeks.
The Australian had won at Bay Hill and, after wrapping up his knockout success in Texas, hunkered down to hone his final Masters preparations. He arrives at Augusta as the reigning PGA champion, bidding for consecutive major victories.
The qualities that enabled Day to make his breakthrough at the highest level at Whistling Straits last August are also among the most important requisites at Augusta.
A winner of six tournaments in the past year, Day has reaped the benefits of greater accuracy in his approach play. Instead of aiming at flags on ranges, he started practising hitting into greens to take account of how the ball reacts when it lands.
From 100 to 150 yards he had been no better than average but now ranks among the top 10 in strokes gained in this crucial category. Precise approach play allied to a secure putting touch are the key ingredients here.
Day is the justifiable favourite but his recent successes have inspired fellow Australian Scott, who won here in 2013 and twice in Florida in March. Scott is reunited with caddie Steve Williams, who is seeking the 15th major title of his carrying career.
Another who can't be ignored is Watson, the champion in 2012 and 2014. Sequentially this should be a Bubba hat-trick year, and Cowen makes the left-hander the man to beat.
"You couldn't find a course more suited to Bubba Watson," he said. "So he would be your favourite almost all of the time. He's won twice, likes the course, he seems to have more patience.
"You can see him a lot of other weeks; he doesn't have the patience, but he does around Augusta."
The world number four has played sparingly but was champion and runner-up in his past two strokeplay events. He cannot be ignored.
Neither can defending champion Spieth, who has not hit the heights of 2015 this year but is desperate not to relinquish his Green Jacket just yet. This is only his third Masters and he has yet to finish outside the top two.
So Spieth, Day, McIlroy, Watson and Scott - players of golfing excellence and character - lead a cast list for what promises to be a vintage Masters.
Sullivan isn't alone when he says he is buzzing.
He was doing training circuits with a student in a Cessna 152 at Wycombe Air Park, on 22 May, at the time.
The UK Airprox Board heard the helicopter pilot was "unfamiliar" with the airfield and air traffic control should have passed on more information.
Investigators concluded the helicopter "was not at the correct height".
Their report found the Cessna was travelling at 1,000ft (304m) when the pilot saw the helicopter "at the same height as his aircraft".
The helicopter ought to have been approaching the Buckinghamshire airfield at 750ft (228m) at the time.
Its pilot had already had to ask air traffic control to repeat the landing instructions four times before he heard them correctly.
The report concluded the aircraft's "close proximity meant safety was much reduced below the norm".
It also found a lack of specific instructions from air traffic control was a contributory factor to the incident.
Mr Manigat won polls in 1988 that were considered illegitimate, and served for less than six months before being removed in a military coup.
He ran for president in 2006, coming second. His wife, Mirlande Manigat, ran in the 2010 elections, losing to current leader Michel Martelly.
Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe said his death left "a huge void" in Haiti.
Mr Martelly said Mr Manigat's death was "sad news".
The former academic was Haiti's first elected president after a popular revolt in 1986 overthrew President-for-life Jean-Claude Duvalier, who relied on a brutal militia to control the country.
Mr Duvalier is accused of massive corruption, repression and human rights abuses.
Officers said they were "treating this kind of behaviour extremely seriously".
"Two males have had to be reported for indecent exposure as they thought it was a good idea to take all their clothes off to go for a swim - not a good idea," an officer wrote on the PSNI Holywood Facebook page.
"There are young children in these areas too."
They added: "You could end up with a criminal record and placed on the sex offenders register.
"Please enjoy the weather but be sensible."
Police in the North Down town also warned that they were on the lookout for people bringing alcohol to the beach, with officers patrolling the platform at Helen's Bay railway station.
Glasgow City Council said it planned to put up the tax by 3% after the national council tax freeze ended this year.
Council leader Frank McAveety said while the increase would raise more than £7m, the council faced a budget gap of £67m.
Most councils have yet to confirm plans, with about a third indicating they may propose a 3% increase.
Further details of Glasgow's budget proposals are expected later.
Mr McAveety said: "Raising Council Tax will support frontline services while protecting the most vulnerable in our city.
"One-in-four households will not pay a penny more - and we can avoid around £7m of the most difficult cuts, which would otherwise hit every community across the city."
The average bill in the city - in the Band D category - is £1,213, compared to the national average of £1,149. All other bills are a set proportion of this figure.
But changes this year mean those in bands E, F, G and H properties will automatically pay more - even before the 3% across-the-board rise is factored in.
Increases are due to take effect just weeks before May's council elections.
BBC Scotland's local government correspondent Jamie McIvor said: "Inevitably, close attention will be paid to decisions taken by councils in the west of Scotland where the SNP is hoping to make big inroads into Labour's council powerbase.
"Privately, some Labour councillors believe they are caught between a rock and a hard place.
"They argue a rise in council tax would merely limit cuts rather than end them, so they would risk asking voters to 'pay more and get less'.
"However, they also believe that if they did not raise the council tax, they would be accused of failing to use the means at their disposal to at least attempt to mitigate cuts."
Labour-run South Lanarkshire has said it plans to freeze bills this year but the leader of West Dunbartonshire Council has indicated a rise is likely.
There have been no public declarations yet from Labour-run Inverclyde, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, North Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire and North Lanarkshire.
The Scottish government has said more money would be available in the coming financial year for local services across Scotland.
For example, there will be new money through the council tax changes and cash which will be given to headteachers to spend on schemes to raise attainment.
A final decision on the council tax in Glasgow is likely to be made in February.
The 21-year-old will go back to the League One side after the Gulls' match against Macclesfield on 11 January.
"It's just the legalities of it really, if you do short term loans you can only do 93 days," Nicholson told BBC Devon.
"He wants to go back and show Neal Ardley [AFC Wimbledon boss] he's worth a shot in their team."
Nicholson continued: "He's in his last year at Wimbledon so if he signed on here for the rest of the season, which we were pushing for, he was worried he might be out of sight out of mind."
Torquay are 17th in the National League and already short of players, with Aarran Racine injured, Paul Rooney's loan also coming to an end and Shaun Harrad missing for personal reasons.
"You've got people like Jamie Reid who can play that (Fitzpatrick's) position, where it's not really a winger, it's more of an attacker," Nicholson added.
"We're a very small squad, even with everybody available, but we'll work on that and see what we've got for Saturday."

A vote in the 15-member Council could now take place later on Friday, diplomats at the UN in New York said.
The agreement breaks a two-and-a-half year deadlock in the UN over Syria.
It is seen as a key step in a US-Russia brokered plan earlier this month under which Syria agreed to disclose its arsenal and eliminate it by mid-2014.
Russia and China have three times blocked Western-backed resolutions in the Security Council against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The council discussed the draft resolution on Thursday evening at the UN headquarters.
Moscow and Washington had earlier disagreed over the wording of the draft.
The US - backed by France and the UK - had pushed for a resolution carrying the threat of military action. Russia had opposed this. The five nations are permanent veto-wielding members of the council.
But a deal was struck on Thursday.
The US Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, tweeted: "Agreement reached w/Russia on UNSC [UN Security Council] Resolution legally obligating #Syria to give up CW [chemical weapons] they used on their people. Going to full UNSC tonight."
She added that the draft "establishes that Syria's use of CW is threat to international peace & security & creates a new norm against the use of CW".
British envoy Sir Mark Lyall Grant also described the document as "binding and enforceable".
Syria chemical attack: UN findings analysed
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confirmed that an agreement had been reached.
Although the draft refers to Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which allows the use of military force, a second resolution authorising such a move would be needed.
This is something that Russia would almost certainly veto, the BBC's Nick Bryant in New York reports.
The proposed resolution also says that those responsible for the use of chemical weapons in Syria "should be held accountable".
But there is no mention that they should be tried at the International Criminal Court - a significant weakening from previous drafts, our correspondent adds.
Nevertheless, one senior official at the US state department described the agreement as a "breakthrough", saying the document "makes absolutely clear that failure of the Assad regime to comply will have consequences".
US and Russian officials later said a vote on the proposed resolution could take place as early as Friday evening.

Media review: Mixed response
Can China keep staying silent?
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) still has to signal that it has accepted the US-Russian plan agreed earlier this month.
Then chemical experts can start taking practical steps towards inspecting and securing Syria's stockpiles.
Washington had threatened the Syrian government with military action over a chemical weapons attack in the Ghouta area of Damascus on 21 August.
A UN report on the attack published later confirmed that the nerve agent sarin had been used in a rocket attack there, although it did not apportion blame.
France, the UK and US insist the report clearly backs their stance that only the government forces were capable of carrying out the attack.
Russia rejects this argument. Mr Lavrov has said that Moscow has "serious grounds" to believe the attack had been a provocation by rebel forces.
President Assad also says the opposition forces were to blame.
More than 100,000 people have died since the uprising began in 2011.

The time-travelling elevator takes people on a journey through 415 years of the city's history in a three-dimensional time-lapse.
It's one of five lifts opening soon at the One World Trade Centre building in the Big Apple.
It will show passengers how the city, famous for its giant skyscrapers and other big buildings, grew up from the ground, from the seventeenth century, to the present day.
The lift takes 47 seconds to make the journey up to the 102nd floor.
It has significant tourism potential, but poor infrastructure and the absence of a large airport have impeded the industry's growth. The country is also vulnerable to hurricanes.
With few natural resources, Dominica is attempting to reduce its reliance on bananas, traditionally its main export earner.
The banana market has faced stiffer competition since the European Union was forced by the World Trade Organisation to phase out preferential treatment for producers from former colonies.
Population 71,000
Area 751 sq km (290 sq miles)
Major languages English (official), French patois
Major religion Christianity

President: Charles Savarin
President Savarin, a former Labour Party cabinet minister, was appointed in September 2013.
Dominica's parliament, the House of Assembly, appoints the president - the ceremonial head of state. The prime minister and cabinet exercise executive power.
Prime minister: Roosevelt Skerrit
Roosevelt Skerrit's governing Dominica Labour Party won general elections in May 2005.
Campaigning on pledges to improve infrastructure and attract foreign investment, his government won a third term in December 2014, albeit with a majority reduced from its previous landslide win in 2009.
A former education minister, Mr Skerrit took office as Dominica's youngest prime minister two days after the sudden death of his predecessor, Pierre Charles, in January 2004. He was chosen by his party to succeed the late leader.
Dominica has no daily newspapers; its press consists of weeklies.
There is no national TV, but cable TV covers part of the island.
The radio scene comprises public and private stations.
All media are free from government interference and carry a range of sometimes critical views.
Some key dates in Dominica's history:
1763 - Britain gains possession of Dominica in accordance with the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Seven Years' War. It establishes a legislative assembly, representing only the white population.
1831 - Britain confers political and social rights on free non-whites.
1834 - Slavery abolished.
1838 - Dominica becomes the first and only British colony in the Caribbean to have a black-controlled legislature.
1865 - Britain replaces the elected assembly with one consisting of one-half elected members and one-half appointed.
1896 - Britain re-establishes crown colony government over Dominica.
1951 - Britain declares universal adult suffrage established in Dominica.
1958-62 - Dominica a member of the British-sponsored West Indies Federation.
1960 - Britain grants Dominica self-government, with a legislative council and a chief minister.
1978 - Dominica becomes independent.
Mr Milburn said the current system was "confused and complex".
The review, for consultants PwC, called for a gradual evolution of the structures, saying those who worked in the health service supported reform.
But the Department of Health said its plan for the future would be "delivered within the NHS's existing structures".
The PwC report was critical of the changes introduced in 2012 by then Health Secretary Andrew Lansley, which have resulted in the creation of "myriad" national organisations, including:
The consultancy said it meant hospitals and other services faced the "daunting challenge of managing competing requirements".
The review said many of the functions of these competing organisations could be gradually merged into one and in time regional bodies be created to take charge of budgets for the NHS and council-run care services.
It said this would aid integration between the two systems - seen as key to shifting care out of hospitals and coping with the ageing population.
The report acknowledged these changes would take up to a decade - but said the polling it had carried out with NHS staff suggested there was widespread support for reform.
Mr Milburn said: "Despite the best efforts of its leaders to make it work, the current national architecture is confused and complex.
"The artificial divide between health and social care makes as little sense as the division of labour between a myriad of national bodies.
"Organisational change is always a risk but without it, the move towards integrated systems will be undermined."
But the Department of Health said there was no need for more reform as there was "a plan for the future... that is being delivered within the NHS's existing structures".
It said this would be funded by the extra money being invested in the NHS during the Parliament.
But as news spread, the crowds grew - and by Thursday evening up to 50 people were gathered near the scene of the cordoned-off tragedy.
The five who died have not yet been officially named, but they are thought to be Spanish nationals, of Gambian origin, who moved to Birmingham to work.
"Everybody is sad," Ansumana Barrow, 63, president of the Gambian Association in Birmingham, said.
Five crushed to death as wall collapses
"We are hard working. They (the men who died) are feeding their families, that's why they are here. Unfortunately, this thing happens."
Mr Barrow was speaking just yards from the gates of Hawkeswood Metal, set in an area of modest terraced houses, manufacturing sites, a working men's club and the busy A47.
His main concern, he said, was to look after the men's families.
"We'll see how best we can help - with counselling or financially. It depends on what they need."
The association was formed in 1999.
Its project manager, Ousman Njie, 43, said most Gambians in the area are recruited from employment agencies.
"If we see people who come over, we know we can refer them to an agency and it is up to the agency if they are eligible for work," he said.
"We help people integrate into society. One of the men came to our classes, we were helping him to learn English."
Lang Dampha, 48, said two of the men lodged with him in Aston.
One of them had only been with him for a week and his family was due to arrive soon.
Other people talked about how happy everyone had been on Wednesday as the tight-knit community, many of whom know each other through attending the various mosques in the area, celebrated the Muslim festival of Eid.
Dantra Sillah said: "We were very happy yesterday. It is very sad."
And Abdulli Caeh, 39, said: "They were very good people, hard working. It is a bad shock.
"They are Muslims, we are Muslims.
"After Eid we went out to Victoria Park by the Dudley Road Mosque."
People were gathering to show their feelings, he said, "that is why they have come".
The Swiss team said in a statement on Thursday before this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix that the deal had been "cancelled".
The move follows the appointment of new team principal Frederic Vasseur, who replaces Monisha Kaltenborn after her departure in June.
Vasseur said the decision was "made for strategic reasons, with the best intent for Sauber's future in mind".
Honda makes the least competitive engine in F1 this year and has struggled with reliability and performance since returning to the sport with McLaren in 2015.
Honda's future with McLaren is also in doubt, with the team considering ending its long-term works partnership at the end of this season.
McLaren had been hoping for a move to Mercedes customer engines but in recent days it has emerged that Renault is also a serious contender.
If McLaren and Honda split, the Japanese company could potentially stay in F1 with the Toro Rosso team.
Sauber said it would announced a new engine partner "shortly".
Both Mercedes and Ferrari are possibilities.
Sauber is this year running Mercedes young driver Pascal Wehrlein in one of its cars and Vasseur is close friends with Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff.
However, Ferrari could well be the more likely option.
Sauber are already running year-old Ferrari customer engines, and have been in a partnership with the Italian team since 2010.
Insiders say that Ferrari development driver Charles Leclerc, who is dominating the Formula 2 championship this year, is close to doing a deal to race for Sauber in 2018.
Using Ferrari engines could be part of that deal and sources say Vasseur is pushing to make that happen, in partnership with Leclerc's manager Nicolas Todt, who is Vasseur's long-time partner in the ART company that runs teams in junior categories.
Jack O'Neil, 19, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob at Hull Crown Court earlier. He had initially denied the charge and changed his plea before a trial was due to start.
Watches worth about £200,000 were stolen in the raid on Guest and Philips Jewellers in Beverley in August 2013.
Kevin Smith, 22, has pleaded guilty. The pair will be sentenced on 21 July.
O'Neil, of Haigh Gardens, Leeds, and Smith, of Thorne Road, Stainforth, South Yorkshire, are due to be sentenced at Hull Crown Court.
Senior Investigating Officer Mathew Hutchinson, from Humberside Police, said: "The offence took place at a busy time of day in view of numerous people who were out and about performing their normal everyday activities and to witness the scenes at the jewellery store that day will have been quite alarming.
"Similarly, the staff at the shop were faced with a very frightening situation and it is hard to imagine the terror they experienced throughout the ordeal."
Russian-born Arsen Pavlov, nicknamed "Motorola", was killed by a bomb blast in the lift of his apartment block in the city of Donetsk on Sunday.
The rebels accused Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko of declaring war.
A video appeared online purportedly from a Ukrainian neo-Nazi group claiming it had killed Motorola.
But the claim from the mysterious "Misanthropic Division" has to be treated with great caution, the BBC's Tom Burridge in Kiev says. Propaganda, often vicious and cynical, is a feature of the conflict, he says.
Little is known about the "division". The clip was tweeted by Alexander Kots, a Russian war correspondent, and showed four masked men with guns.
The division's leader says his group had nothing to do with the video.
Motorola commanded a rebel battalion called Sparta, which took part in major offensives against Ukrainian government forces at Donetsk airport and Ilovaisk.
Ukraine accused him of war crimes.
Born in Komi, northern Russia, in 1983, Motorola called himself a "volunteer", the term used by the Kremlin for all Russians fighting in rebel ranks. Many of the rebel commanders are Russian citizens.
Last month President Poroshenko said Motorola had shot and killed a Ukrainian prisoner-of-war, Ihor Branovytsky, and said "the monster will answer" for that crime, the daily Ukrainskaya Pravda reported (in Russian).
In April last year Motorola told the Kiev Post that he had shot dead 15 Ukrainian soldiers captured by the rebels.
Commenting on the assassination, Donetsk rebel leader Alexander Zakharchenko said: "As I understand it, Petro Poroshenko has violated the ceasefire and declared war on us."
He described the killing as "terrorism".
Russia backs the rebels, who run a self-declared "Donetsk People's Republic" (DNR).
Rebel commander was Russian veteran - by Tom Burridge in Kiev:
The video posted online must be treated with great care.
It is striking that the men make a Nazi salute. But little is known about the group mentioned and there are already reports that the video is a fake.
There are some far-right groups in Ukraine and far-right battalions in the army enjoyed some success early on in the war.
However, Russian propaganda has overblown their importance and, in an almost farcical way, has portrayed the conflict in the east as a struggle against fascism.
In reality, far-right political parties enjoy minimal support in Ukraine.
Pavlov was born in Russia, previously served in the Russian military in Chechnya, and rose to prominence in the DNR militia during key battles in eastern Ukraine.
Many Ukrainians have reason to want him dead.
In a chilling taped phone call last year, Pavlov admitted killing Ukrainian prisoners-of-war.
Eastern Ukraine's unrecognised separatist republics are international pariahs and therefore economically dependent on Russia.
And Russian money, Russian culture and propaganda shape the discourse in these two isolated, war-torn regions.
According to some reports, an ethnic Abkhaz commander in the rebel ranks had fallen out with Motorola and may have been motivated to have him killed.
The continuing use of heavy weapons along the front line in eastern Ukraine is undermining the fragile ceasefire.
Ukraine, Western leaders and Nato say there is clear evidence that Russia has supplied the rebels with heavy weapons and regular troops. Russia denies that, but it is hostile to the Kiev government and openly supports the rebel cause.
In the video, the "Misanthropic Division" warned that it would next target Mr Zakharchenko and Igor Plotnitsky, the rebel leader in the neighbouring Luhansk region.
This is up from about £35m for the same period last year.
The bank said a number of factors were behind the rise, including an increase in business lending and an improvement in the housing market.
Danske Bank UK CEO Gerry Mallon said: "We can confidently say Northern Ireland continues to experience economic growth."
He added: "It is clear that businesses are starting to look at new plans for the future, while Danske Bank's own survey forecasts that overall local economic growth should reach 2% in 2015 and 2.3% in 2016."
From next year, Danske Bank in Northern Ireland will become a standalone business unit as part of the wider Danske Group.
The Copenhagen-headquartered banking group said a review of its business had "concluded that synergies between the Northern Irish market and the Nordic markets are limited".
"We are confident that the change will better enable us to create value for our customers in Northern Ireland, to develop our market position and to improve profitability," it said.
Egg theft had become such a problem on remote islands off Poole Harbour that police patrols were put in to protect the seabirds this year.
Charity, Birds of Poole Harbour, said a survey carried out on Tuesday revealed "zero evidence" of thefts by poachers.
Just over 2,500 out of 9,000 nests were left following egg thefts last year.
More on this and other stories from across the South of England
Paul Morton, who runs the charity, said the colony was back up to nearly 6,000 nests.
He said: "We're thrilled. We saw our first chicks too which means that the eggs are now beyond the picking stage."
The eggs from black-headed and Mediterranean gulls - considered a delicacy - are stolen in April and May for their exclusivity and high price tag, and are often used in top restaurants.
The charity said it planned to continue to monitor the seabirds year on year and hoped to see the colony "recover and grow".
There were around 20 "pickers" operating under licenses issued by Natural England, which allows black-headed gull eggs to be collected legally at five sites in England.
No one is licensed to collect the eggs in Dorset.
Pilkington impressed for the Bluebirds before being injured in the second half, replaced by Aron Gunnarsson.
The 27-year-old left Turf Moor on crutches and Cardiff manager Russell Slade said he would be assessed when the play-off hopefuls return to Wales.
"He's in a brace so we're taking all precautions," Slade said.
"We just hope it's not too serious because he's done very well since we've converted him up there.
"I thought he was a threat all night for the two Burnley centre-backs."
Cardiff are now four points behind the Championship play-off places in seventh position after the 0-0 draw at Burnley.
Slade said his side fully deserved the point against the Championship leaders, who stretched their unbeaten run to 17 games but saw their lead at the top cut to a point.
Cardiff substitute Kenneth Zahore hit the crossbar with three minutes remaining before Bluebirds keeper David Marshall denied Sam Vokes and Ashley Barnes in injury time.
"Burnley could have stolen it in the dying seconds but on the balance of play that would have been cruel on us," Slade said.
"I thought we created some really good opportunities and probably the best chance came five minutes before those saves Marshall made.
"Zahore came on and had a wonderful chance to nick us a goal.
"The way the game was panning out I didn't think it would end 0-0. Both teams were trying to win a football match.
"There were opportunities at both ends. It was a very competitive Championship game."
The Romanians, beaten 42-3 at home by Quins last week, had Randall Morrison sent off in only the second minute for a high tackle on Marland Yarde.
Wales centre Jamie Roberts scored a hat-trick, while England duo Yarde and Mike Brown crossed twice.
Luke Wallace, Tim Visser, Jack Clifford and Tim Swiel also touched down, while Quins had Mat Luamanu sent off late on.
Ruardidh Jackson and Swiel each added five conversions as Quins notched up their record European win, with Gabriel Conache slotting over the visitors' only points from the tee.
The victory moves Quins, beaten Challenge Cup finalists last season, two points clear of Edinburgh at the top of the pool with three wins from four games.
Harlequins have now also won 12 successive home games in the competition in a run stretching back to 2006-07, while Conache's penalty was the first points Timisoara Saracens have scored away from home in this season's competition.
Harlequins: Mike Brown; Marland Yarde, Joe Marchant, Jamie Roberts, Tim Visser; Ruaridh Jackson, Danny Care (capt); Joe Marler, Rob Buchanan, Kyle Sinckler, George Merrick, Charlie Matthews, James Chisholm, Luke Wallace, Jack Clifford.

Uhuru Kenyatta appealed for international aid and said the government would increase food handouts to the most needy communities.
Kenya's Red Cross says 2.7 million people face starvation if more help is not provided.
Other countries in the region have also been hit by the drought, blamed on last year's El Nino weather phenomenon.
In Somalia, nearly half the population is suffering from food shortages and the UN says there is a risk of famine in several parts of the country.
During the last drought on this scale in 2011, famine killed about 250,000 Somalis.
In a statement, Mr Kenyatta said the government had allocated $105m (£84m) to tackle the drought which has affected people, livestock and wildlife in 23 of Kenya's 47 counties.
"Support from our partners would complement government's efforts in mitigating the effects of drought," he said.
Mr Kenyatta added that all purchases of food and other items would be made in a transparent way.
"I will not tolerate anybody who would try to take advantage of this situation to defraud public funds," the president said.
Ellis and Taylor Welburn were born at 05:20 BST in Barnsley Hospital after mum, Rachel Carr, was moved from Hull.
The boys were named after Gareth Ellis, captain of Hull FC, and fellow forward Scott Taylor.
The twin's father, Lee Wellburn, 31, from Hull, said he was delighted the boys had arrived to allow him to attend Saturday's cup final.
Hull FC and Warrington Wolves are to meet in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
Mr Welburn said mother and babies were doing well and hoped to go home to Hull on Tuesday. The twins were born two weeks prematurely.
Mr Welburn said the couple had had difficulty finding names for the babies during the pregnancy until they struck on the idea of Hull FC players.
A life-long Hull FC fan, he admitted some of the players' names had "worked less well" but the choices of Ellis and Taylor "just seemed to work", he said.
Mr Welburn said the birth of the twins had made him even more confident of the outcome of the game in London.
"I've got two good luck charms now", he added.
Keirra Beaty, 20, lost control while racing another car on Sunday night, hitting a telephone pole on the side of a Dallas motorway.
Her 13-month-old son, who was not in a baby's car seat, was on a passenger's lap in the back, police said.
Ms Beaty and the passenger were taken to hospital for minor injuries.
The young boy was not hurt, and is currently with his father.
Ms Beaty has been charged with child endangerment.
Gan fod nifer o feysydd wedi eu datganoli i Lywodraeth Cymru, doedd nifer fawr o agweddau'r gyllideb ddim yn berthnasol i Gymru, ond fe gyhoeddodd y Canghellor y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru'n derbyn £200m yn ychwanegol dros bedair blynedd.
Bydd Llywodraeth yr Alban yn derbyn £350m yn ychwanegol ac fe fydd bron i £120m yn cael ei glustnodi i Lywodraeth Gogledd Iwerddon. Ychwanegodd wrth gyhoeddi'r newyddion fod y DU "yn gryfach gyda'n gilydd".
Mewn ymateb i'r cyhoeddiad, dywedodd Ysgrifennydd Cyllid Llywodraeth Cymru Mark Drakeford ar Twitter: "Dal dim eglurder ar doriadau gwariant o £3.5bn y DU sydd uwch ein pennau - gallai chwalu £175m o gyllideb Cymru."
Dywedodd yr Aelod Seneddol Llafur, Jo Stevens, sydd yn gyn lefarydd y blaid ar Gymru: "Felly mae'r Ysgrifennydd Cymru anweladwy wedi llwyddo i wasgu dim ond £50m y flwyddyn allan o'r Canghellor."
Wrth ymateb i gyhoeddiad y Canghellor, dywedodd Ysgrifennydd Cymru Alun Cairns fod y gyllideb yn "un oedd yn gweithio i bawb".
"Mae pobl Cymru'n manteisio o'r sefydlogrwydd o gael economi gref y DU tra bod y cynnydd o £200m mewn arian i Lywodraeth Cymru'n rhoi'r rhyddid i Lywodraeth Cymru i fuddsoddi yn eu blaenoriaethau", meddai.
Ar ran Plaid Cymru dywedodd Jonathan Edwards AS ei fod yn siomedig nad oedd digon o bwyslais ar fuddsoddi ar gyfer yr economi, ac fe hawliodd ei fod wedi syfrdanu nad oedd Mr Hammond wedi son am y newidiadau strwythurol sydd yn wynebu'r economi oherwydd Brexit.
Mewn ymateb i'r £200m ychwanegol i Lywodraeth Cymru, dywedodd Mr Edwards fod llawer mwy'n cael ei wario ar atgyweirio adeiladau Palas Buckingham a San Steffan.
Dywedodd Mark Williams AS, arweinydd y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol Cymreig: "Tra bo'r arian ychwanegol i Gymru i'w groesawu, nid yw'n ddigon.
"Bydd cynllun Theresa May i gymryd Cymru a'r DU allan o farchnad sengl yn gwneud difrod mawr i'r economi. Beth sy'n glir yw fedrwn ni ddim cael economi gref a Brexit caled."
Dywedodd Neil Hamilton AC ar ran grŵp UKIP yn y Cynulliad: "Heddiw roeddem angen cyllideb swyddi. Yn hytrach fe gawsom ryfel ar swyddi.
"Roeddem angen cynllun synhwyrol a chredadwy i gydnabod gwerth busnes i'r economi. Ond fe wnaeth Phillip Hammond benderfynu ymosod ar yr hunan gyflogedig drwy gynyddu cyfraniadau Yswiriant Cenedlaethol."
Ychwanegodd y dylai'r Canghellor gwtogi ar gyllideb £12bn cymorth tramor, ond roedd Mr Hammond yn "dyrnu'r bobl hynny sydd yng nghanol ein twf economaidd".
"Wrth gwrs rydym yn croesawu setliad tecach i Gymru ond yn galw ar Lywodraeth Cymru i sicrhau fod yr £200m ychwanegol yn mynd at greu isadeiledd o safon ryngwladol a chwtogi'r pwysau ar ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ac nid gwario ar ehangu'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol a biwrocratiaeth Llywodraeth Cymru."
Cyn y cyhoeddiad roedd y Trysorlys wedi dweud y byddai'r gyllideb yn un fyddai'n paratoi Prydain ar gyfer "pennod newydd" yn dilyn canlyniad pleidlais Brexit i adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd.
Dywedodd Mr Hammond y byddai'r gyllideb - yr olaf i gael ei chyhoeddi yn y gwanwyn - yn un fyddai'n paratoi Prydain ar gyfer "dyfodol disglair".
Wrth ymateb i fanylion y gyllideb, dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru y bydd y bobl mwyaf bregus yn "parhau i wynebu dyfodol ansicr."
Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Aaron Shotton o gyngor Sir y Fflint, llefarydd y gymdeithas ar gyllid ac adnoddau:
"Gall cyhoeddiad heddiw fod wedi mynd llawer yn bellach i wrthdroi llymder a'i effeithiau ar yr economi a gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yng Nghymru.
"Rydym wedi cydweithio yn dda gyda Llywodraeth Cymru i sicrhau nad yw'r argyfwng gofal cymdeithasol yn Lloegr yn cael ei ailadrodd yma. Fodd bynnag, mae gwasanaethau rwan yn gwegian a dim ond dwy flynedd i ffwrdd ydyn ni o wynebu argyfwng tebyg.
"Dylai unrhyw gyllid ychwanegol sydd yn cael ei wneud ar gael i gynghorau yn Lloegr gael ei adlewyrchu i gynghorau yma hefyd. Byddai hyn yn sicrhau nad yw gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru yn dilyn yr un trywydd enbyd. Beth sydd ei wir angen arnom ni yw ateb hir-dymor i'r problemau sy'n cael eu achosi gan boblogaeth sydd yn heneiddio gyda chyflyrau cronig."
Doedd na ddim cyhoeddiadau annisgwyl am drethi ar gan fod llawer o'r cyhoeddiadau wedi eu gwneud yn barod. Bydd paced o 20 o sigarets yn cynyddu 35c o 18:00 nos Fercher, ac fe fydd peint o gwrw'n costio dwy geiniog yn fwy o nos Lun. Bydd potel o wisig'n cynyddu 36c, gyda chynnydd o 34c ar jin, ceiniog o gynydd ar seidr a 10c ar botel o win.
Ymysg cyhoeddiadau eraill y Canghellor, dywedodd ei fod yn cyflwyno lleiafswm treth ar sigarets yn seiliedig ar becyn gwerth £7.35, ac ni fyddai unrhyw gynnydd mewn cynlluniau blaenorol ar drethi ar sigarets ac alcohol.
Bydd taliadau Yswiriant Cenedlaethol yr hunan gyflogedig hefyd yn cynyddu, ac mae disgwyl y bydd y rhagolygon benthyca yn gostwng i £51.7bn yn 2016.
Esboniodd Mr Hammond fod y Swyddfa Cyfrifoldeb Cyllidebol yn rhagweld twf i'r economi o 2% yn 2017/18, yn hytrach na'r 1.4% oedd wedi ei amcangyfrif yn wreiddiol. Byddai'r twf yma'n gostwng i 1.6% yn y flwyddyn ganlynol ac yna chynyddu ychydig y flwyddyn wedyn i 1.7%.
Ychwanegodd fod disgwyl i chwyddiant gyrraedd 2.4% eleni, yn ôl y Swyddfa Cyfrifoldeb Cyllidebol. Bydd hyn yn gostwng i 2.3% yn 2018 a 2% yn 2019 meddai. Byddai hyn yn cadw chwyddiant ar yr un lefel neu'n uwch na tharged Banc Lloegr o 2% am dair blynedd.
Dywedodd y Canghellor fod y rhagolygon economaidd yn parhau heb newid, ac fe gyhoeddodd nifer o fesurau i geisio lleddfu ofnau busnesau bychain yn Lloegr yn dilyn cynnydd sylweddol yn eu cyfraddau busnes, wedi'r adbrisiad diweddar.
Esboniodd na fyddai unrhyw fusnes sydd yn colli cymorth trethi busnes yn dilyn yr adbrisiad yn gweld cynnydd o fwy na £50 y mis yn eu biliau'r flwyddyn nesaf, ac fe fyddai 90% o dafarndai Lloegr yn cael disgownt o £1000 ar eu biliau cyfradd busnes.
Roedd disgwyl iddo gyhoeddi arian ychwanegol i ddelio gyda phroblemau gofal cymdeithasol yn Lloegr hefyd ac fe wnaeth hynny drwy gyhoeddi £2bn dros gyfnod o dair blynedd, gyda'r biliwn cyntaf yn dod yn 2017/18.
Cyhoeddodd fod gan Brydain ddyled o bron i £1.7tn a "phob blwyddyn rydym yn gwario £50bn mewn llogau ar y ddyled". Ychwanegodd mai'r unig gam cyfrifol i'w gymryd oedd i barhau gyda chynllun economaidd y llywodraeth.
"Ni wnawn osod baich ar ein plant gyda dyledion cynyddol", meddai.
Dywedodd Mr Hammond fod y Trysorlys yn bwriadu dilyn camau er mwyn mynd i'r afael ag achosion lle'r oedd unigolion yn ceisio osgoi talu treth.
Bydd y mesurau'n cynnwys taclo camddefnydd o gynlluniau pensiwn tramor, cyflwyno taliadau Treth Ar Werth Prydeinig ar wasanaethau telegyfathrebu, a chyflwyno cosbau newydd i unigolion sydd yn osgoi talu treth ond yna'n colli achosion sydd wedi eu cymryd yn eu herbyn gan Gyllid a Thollau Ei Mawrhyd.
Byddai hyn yn codi £830m meddai.
Er ei fod wedi cyhoeddi'r bwriad i wario £23bn yn yr Hydref ar wyddoniaeth a thechnoleg, fe roddodd ychydig mwy o gig ar yr asgwrn ddydd Mercher.
Dyweodd y byddai hyn yn galluogi'r DU i gystadlu ym maes arloesedd a gwyddoniaeth. Byddai'r arian yn cynnyws £300m am dalent ymchwil - yn cynnwys 1000 o leoliadau PhD, £270m ar gyfer robotiaid, biotechnoleg a cheir di-yrrwr, £16m ar gyfer hwb 5G technoleg symudol a £200m ar gyfer band eang hynod gyflym.
The claim: The UK can make itself energy self-sufficient in renewables.
Reality Check verdict: This is not the policy in the Liberal Democrat manifesto, which pledges to get 60% of electricity from renewables by 2030. Being self-sufficient and having all energy coming from renewables would require considerable development of storage technology to avoid having to use non-renewable sources or energy bought from overseas as back-up sources.
It came after he had said: "If it is simply for hair shirt, muesli-eating, Guardian readers to solve climate change... we're all stuffed."
Becoming energy self-sufficient in renewables is not current Liberal Democrat policy, although Mr Farron described it in a speech in February as being a "patriotic endeavour".
The manifesto says the party would: "Expand renewable energy, aiming to generate 60% of electricity from renewables by 2030."
A party spokeswoman described the leader's statement in the debate as "visionary as opposed to completely literal".
The problem with being entirely self-sufficient is that many renewable sources of energy cannot generate power all of the time (the notable exception being the burning of biomass), so if you are using a very high proportion of renewables you rely on interconnectedness (buying electricity from another country where the wind is blowing), storage (batteries in the short-term, some sort of gas storage in the longer term) or a back-up system using gas-fired power stations or nuclear energy.
The Liberal Democrat manifesto talks about investing in interconnectors, which would be unnecessary if the country was to become self-sufficient.
There are already private plans in place to increase the amount of electricity that may be bought from France via interconnectors.
It may be that when he said self-sufficient he meant that we should not have a trade deficit in energy, so it would be OK to buy energy from other countries when we needed it as long as we sold the same amount to other countries when they needed it.
While there have been suggestions that marine energy could make the UK a net exporter of electricity, being self-sufficient and generating 100% of energy from renewables is considerably more challenging than, for example, 90%, mainly because of the challenges of storage.
The development of a smart grid, which co-ordinates renewable energy supplies depending on demand, may also be needed for a 100% renewable system.
Also, while the Liberal Democrat manifesto targets 60% of electricity, Mr Farron was talking about all energy, which means, for example, that all cars have to run on renewable energy and all buildings have to be heated by it.
So in 2016, the UK generated 24.4% of its electricity from renewables, but in 2015 (the latest year available) it was only producing 8.8% of energy from renewables.
The UK has an obligation under European Union rules to derive 30% of electricity from renewables by 2020, which it is on the way to achieving (although the UK is currently scheduled to have left the EU by then). But the other two parts of the targets are 12% of heat and 10% of transport to be powered by renewables, which we are less likely to achieve.
The Labour manifesto pledges to get 60% of energy from zero-carbon or renewable sources by 2030.
The Conservative manifesto looks at it in a different way, saying that "energy policy should be focused on outcomes rather than the means by which we reach our objectives".
So they say that the focus will not be on how the energy is generated but on achieving, "reliable and affordable energy, seizing the industrial opportunity that new technology presents and meeting our global commitments on climate change".
The Green Party would have a target of near-100% renewable electricity generation by 2030 with significant investment in electric vehicles and lower-carbon sources of heating.
It supports self-sufficiency and a decentralised system of communities owning their own generation systems, but would also invest in interconnectors to allow for co-operation with other countries.

The poster, headed "searching for you" is on display at Stafford station.
If the tall man who was wearing a grey suit recognises himself, he is urged to contact staff at the counter.
A Virgin Trains spokesman said the love-struck woman had contacted them to help find the man she saw on 6 August.
A hopeless romantic is looking for the man she exchanged lots of smiles and eye contact with here on Thursday 6th August between 5:50-7pm.
Was it you? Tall, silver/grey hair, wearing a grey suit, black shoes and with a black wheeled case.
If so you will recognise the lady in question... slim, blonde hair, luggage, black leather jacket, black boots, 44yrs old.
Her train arrived at platform 1 at 6:56pm and you went over to watch her board. She was too shy to speak but would really like to get in touch.
If this was you & you would like to make contact, please see a member of ticket office staff.
The Virgin Trains spokesman said: "Being the soppy, romantic souls we are we're hoping this brief encounter will lead to a fairytale ending.
"So if the mystery man is out there please do get in touch."
The notice, a picture of which has been posted on Facebook by BBC Radio Stoke, has attracted comments including "hope all goes well", "I hope she finds him", "he could be married but good luck" and "he was just perving. You won't be the only one".

So many athletes in the Paralympics have come through an incredible amount of adversity to achieve some very special goals but there was something about Zanardi, an ex-Formula 1 driver who lost his legs in a Champ Car crash 11 years ago, that really hit home.
It just goes to show how life is a journey for all of us and you have to have so much admiration for Zanardi after the one he has been on
First of all, he is a very infectious character. Even before the accident, no-one had a bad word to say about him. He has a way with words, a charm and vitality, that makes him very appealing.
He went through so much after the accident and even to get back to some kind of normal life was an achievement after that.
But he did so much more than that. He got back into motor racing in a touring car with hand controls and won three world championship races. And then he changed his focus to something completely different.
When he was racing at Brands Hatch in single-seaters or touring cars, who would ever have thought he would go back there at the age of 45 and win a gold medal, let alone two?
It just goes to show how life is a journey for all of us and you have to have so much admiration for Zanardi after the one he has been on.
It's easy to be touched by his story and he is incredibly modest about what he has done.
But none of us can appreciate just how much he has had to put into that lifestyle change or have any grasp how hard those moments on his own have been when he was tested to the absolute limit.
I don't know the ratio at the Paralympics between people who were born with a disability and those who were affected later in life - and I'm certainly no expert as to which is harder to overcome.
But I guess what makes the Zanardi story so appealing is that he had an incredible skill-set in one area, had it taken away from him, found a way to employ it again in different circumstances - and then switched to something else as well.
He wants to get out of bed in the morning with a purpose. That, after all, is the key for all of us in life; to feel that we are testing ourselves and achieving goals.
There was a nasty accident at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix at the beginning of the month and it has brought the subject of driver safety in Formula 1 to the fore again.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was lucky in that crash - Romain Grosjean's out-of-control Lotus flew across the front of his car and didn't miss Fernando's head by that much.
The FIA has been doing some research on driver head protection and at the moment it looks like some form of forward protection, probably a kind of roll-bar, is going to be introduced in the not-too-distant future.

Head protection is a controversial subject and, unusually for me, I'm still on the fence on it.
Open-wheel, open-cockpit racing is what most racing drivers want to do - it requires incredible precision and they are the best racing cars in the world.
You don't want to lose that, so we have to get this decision right. It's a big step for the sport.
People are saying things like 'it's going to be ugly'. But you have to park that stuff. The tricky thing is to decide what exactly you are protecting against.
The Grosjean incident, and a similar one involving David Coulthard and Alexander Wurz in Australia in 2007, happened because of cars climbing over each other and being launched into the air.
That also happened to me when I flipped in Valencia in 2010.
So should you shut off that option somehow by enclosing the wheels but leave the cockpit open? Or leave the wheels open and create more cockpit protection?
Personally, I feel stopping cars launching is a bigger priority, if only because I think that happens more often. Cockpit intrusion is rarer, but it still has to be taken seriously.
In both cases, we have been lucky and we all know that luck will run out one day.
The drivers have to take some responsibility, too. In the last 10 years, the level of aggressiveness has ramped up a bit just because guys know that usually they'll be able to walk away from a crash.
Media playback is not supported on this device
But you can be aggressive and safe or aggressive and unsafe. I've always said F1 is not a finishing school when it comes to racing.
Most of the youngsters who have come in have gone pretty well. This year, Pastor Maldonado and Grosjean have both had a few incidents.
If Grosjean's crash in Belgium had happened in open racing, it would have been fine. But there were lots of cars around, the track is narrow there and very quickly it became a nasty accident.
The nature of F1 has changed with the Pirelli tyres and DRS - overtaking is easier now - so you don't have to be so desperate at the start. That is why it is a surprise to see some of the things that are happening on the first lap.
You do need to get involved but some guys are having more incidents than the others and they need to take that on board.
We should be the best at what we do, racing in all conditions on all kinds of tracks, and driver etiquette has to match that.
The Italian Grand Prix was not a great weekend for me in Formula 1 terms - having to retire after a late spin badly damaged my tyres - but there was a rewarding aspect to it. Mitch Evans, a young New Zealander I am helping, won the GP3 championship on Sunday morning at Monza.
I got involved with Mitch when some people I knew asked me to keep an eye out for him after he'd achieved some good results down under and was looking at coming to Europe.
I realised he had some potential and the timing fitted nicely - we had just set up our own GP3 team.
Mitch has a gift, an incredibly raw talent, and this year he has won some races and poles and been one of a really solid bunch of drivers in that category, along with Aaro Vainio, Felix Da Costa and Daniel Abt.
It was the same last year, actually, with Mitch, Valtteri Bottas, who is now Williams reserve driver, James Calado and Alexander Sims.
It was a pretty tense finish at Monza - but Mitch just did it. He has ticked some good boxes but he knows that to win at the highest level there is work to be done, and that's where I can help.
I've seen a guy like Sebastian Vettel operate as my team-mate and I've beaten the likes of Fernando Alonso in tight battles. I've been on the end of some beatings but I have also done some winning against some pretty handy guys.
It's not just about the on-track stuff, it's about how to handle yourself off-track as well.
I've always had a thing about helping younger guys realise their potential and get more out of themselves. Ultimately it stops at their door, but it's nice to be able to give them a bit of hand.
Mark Webber was talking to BBC Sport's Andrew Benson
Leslie Jones quit Twitter this week after the abuse, and said the network was not doing enough to stop it.
She accused Breitbart technology editor Milo Yiannopoulos, known as @nero, of directing the abuse.
Yiannopoulos says his account has now been shut down by Twitter and will not be restored.
A screenshot of a message sent to him by Twitter, and posted by Breitbart, said he had broken its rules "prohibiting participating in or inciting targeted abuse of individuals".
He had received "repeated warnings" about similar issues in the past, the note said.
Jones is in the remake of the hit 1980s film Ghostbusters, which was released in the UK and the US last week.
The decision to cast all women has been criticised by some Ghostbusters fans.
Jones was sent tweets blaming her for Aids and comparing her to a gorilla. On Monday, the 48-year-old shared some of the offensive messages she had received.
She later wrote that she was leaving Twitter "with tears and a very sad heart. All this cause I did a movie."
Yiannopoulos posted two insulting tweets about Jones on Monday. Associated Press and Reuters both reported that he had also orchestrated wider abuse against the actress.
Before leaving, Jones wrote to him to say she had reported him and hoped his account would be locked.
Yiannopoulos had close to 338,000 followers before being banned. Many of the accounts that tweeted racist abuse at Jones have not been suspended.
"With the cowardly suspension of my account, Twitter has confirmed itself as a safe space for Muslim terrorists and Black Lives Matter extremists, but a no-go zone for conservatives," Yiannopoulos told Breitbart.
"This is the end for Twitter. Anyone who cares about free speech has been sent a clear message: you're not welcome on Twitter."
The website said his suspension came 20 minutes before he was due to speak at a "Gays for Trump" event at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
Jones had criticised Twitter for not doing enough to block abuse, a criticism it has repeatedly faced.
After her complaint, Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey messaged her on Tuesday.
In a statement the network said it was "continuing to invest heavily in improving our tools and enforcement systems to prevent this kind of abuse", adding that it realised there was "a lot of work in front of us before Twitter is where it should be on how we handle these issues".
PC Neil Culham, 42, is accused of touching the woman, who cannot be named, after she was arrested in Clacton, Essex, in 2012.
She said he also forced her to touch him in the groin area when she answered bail at the police station two months later.
Mr Culham, of Ardleigh Road, Dedham, denies both charges.
He was working for Essex Police when the woman was arrested on suspicion of harassing her former partner.
Ipswich Crown Court heard how Mr Culham drove her from Clacton Police Station to her home in the town, after she had been questioned.
The woman said he pulled over on the way and kissed her, and then tried again as they approached her home.
"As we came to a stop he still had his hand on my thigh," she said in a statement read to the court.
"When he came to a stop he kissed me."
When the woman returned to the police station to answer bail she was warned over the harassment of her former partner.
While in a side room at the station, the woman said Mr Culham put her hand over his genitals and said: "Look what you've done to me."
She said she asked to leave, but was told by Mr Culham she had to put her tongue down his throat.
As she got up to go towards the door, the woman said Mr Culham put his right hand between her legs.
Defence lawyer Allan Compton disputed her version of events.
He suggested she had been emotional on the drive home from the police station, and Mr Culham had put his hand on her arm and told her to "calm down".
Mr Compton said nothing untoward happened at the police station.
The trial continues.
The city, located about 50 km (30 miles) northeast of Mexico City, dominated central Mexico in pre-Columbian times.
The relics found include jewellery, seeds, animal bones and pottery like these human figurines.
The objects were found inside a sacred tunnel that was sealed about 1,800 years ago.
The entrance of the tunnel was discovered in 2003 and its contents came to light after the archaeologists worked meticulously for nine years.
The researchers dug out mountains of dirt and rocks, using remote-control robots, and found zoomorphic vessels like this.
The artefacts, like these sea shells, were unearthed from about 18 metres (60 feet) below the Temple of the Plumed Serpent, the third largest pyramid at Teotihuacan.
At the end of the tunnel, the archaeologists also discovered offerings just before three chambers, suggesting that the remains of city's ruling elite could be buried there.
Such a discovery could help shine light on the leadership structure of Teotihuacan, including whether rule was hereditary.
The ancient city is the largest pre-Columbian archaeological site in the Americas, but its ruins have long been shrouded in mystery because its inhabitants did not leave behind written records.

Young students at the Ghandi Memorial Public School in Delhi in India have been investigating the effects of bad air pollution in the city and the health of children there.
The air in the city is very polluted from all the traffic.
These children took air quality measurements to find out how bad the situation is.

Sixers had posted a modest total of 115-7 from their 20 overs at the MCG.
Rachael Haynes (37) gave Thunder a good start but was one of three players run out as they slumped from 100-2 to 113-7 in the space of two overs.
But with three balls remaining, they clinched the win when Ellyse Perry bowled a wide and Thunder ran a bye.
The last remaining England player in the tournament was Sixers all-rounder Laura Marsh, but the Kent spinner was not selected for the final.
While there were plenty of nerves on show from both sides in the final, with catches dropped and run-out chances missed, Cricket Australia will be delighted with the staging of the highest profile domestic tournament in the history of women's cricket, with interest and viewing figures having exceeded expectations.
England skipper Charlotte Edwards and vice-captain Heather Knight finished second and third respectively in the voting for the player of the tournament award, which was won by Australia and Melbourne Stars captain Meg Lanning, the leading run-scorer.
Thunder later completed a double when they beat Melbourne Stars in the men's Big Bash League final, also at the MCG.
South Wales Police said the child, believed to be five or six, was assaulted by a "thick-set" man on Saturday at about 14:20 BST outside Remo's cafe.
The man, who is white and muscular with ginger hair and in his mid to late 30s, was pushing the child in a tricycle.
He was wearing a black or blue baseball cap and a bright pink T-shirt.
Police said he was with a woman who had long black hair, was wearing a long grey overcoat and pushing a toddler in a buggy.
A local democracy campaigner obtained the Highways England documents using Freedom of Information (FoI) requests.
Campaigner Dave Orr said: "We now know it's been value engineered down because the budget is constrained."
Highways England says it will listen to all feedback from its current single option consultation for the upgrade.
"We've ended up with a scheme which delivers more problems with noise, pollution and disturbance, accidents than if we did nothing which I think is absurd," added Mr Orr.
In March, the government and Highways England put forward one option to dual the A358 between Southfields roundabout and Taunton in Somerset.
Since then councils have criticised the plans saying they lack detail and residents have complained that only one option was being consulted on.
The FoI documents show ideas which include linking the M5 to a planned new hi-tech business park at Henlade were ruled out, along with other proposals as they would cost between £366m and £451m.
According to the released documents, the single option was estimated to cost £366m but was "still in excess of the budget of £251m".
The report also stated: "We cannot commit to a Junction 25 link on affordability grounds."
A Highways England spokesman said: "The current scheme cost remains within the Road Investment Strategy allocation of £250m - £500m."
Taunton MP Rebecca Pow has raised the issues with the Secretary of State for Transport, Chris Grayling.
She said: "We need to look at why only route was offered because there was a feeling that initially more routes were going to be offered."
She added that the upgrade needed to bring "economic gain" to Taunton and link to the new business park, which is set to attract more than 4,000 jobs.
The consultation closes on 16 July.
Mary Sherry said the department is now dealing with almost double the number of patients originally planned for.
The casualty department is not expected to meet its target of treating 95% of patients within four hours this year.
Ms Sherry said discussions were being held into redeveloping the department, but vowed it would remain in Reading town centre.
The A&E department was designed for 65,000 attendees she said, but was now getting 120,000 annually.
Ms Sherry said there were problems with parking in the existing location which needed to be resolved with the help of Reading Borough Council.
She said: "We know there are land restraints... but I wouldn't be recommending a hospital elsewhere.
"I think we're in the right place for the population."
The acting chief executive said it had been a "really difficult year" for the A&E department where numbers of patients had "increased significantly".
"Those numbers haven't dropped over the summer at all," she said.
"Normally we'd be able to improve our performance over the summer, but we haven't been able to do that.
"We've had some very, very busy days."
Ms Sherry said there were also problems with patients being unable to leave the hospital because local social services were also under pressure.
People living in Reading are being urged to go for help elsewhere, such as local walk-in centres and urgent care centres.
England's Lauren Winfield (44) and Sri Lanka's Chamari Atapattu (41) survived several dropped chances to put on 72 for Yorkshire's first wicket.
Katherine Brunt and Alice Davidson-Richards accelerated late on to get the hosts to 162-4 from their 20 overs.
Davidson-Richards then took 3-20 as Lancashire were restricted to 134-7.
New Zealand's Amy Satterthwaite top-scored for Thunder with 28 off 26 balls, but the efforts of Katie Levick (3-30) and Davidson-Richards with the ball meant the visitors were always well behind their required run rate.
Yorkshire and Lancashire finished fifth and sixth of the six teams in the inaugural competition last year, both winning only one of their five group games.
The man was disturbed by the owner of the car he was trying to break into in Loughton, Essex, and dropped his bag.
Essex Police senior crime scene investigator Ryan Howell later tweeted a photo of the abandoned snacks and a message directed at the suspect.
"They're in my office at Harlow, call 101 to get back," he joked.
"We've also got your balaclava and glass hammer, but we need those for the time being," he wrote to the thief.
"You can definitely have your crisps back though," he added.
In a later post, Mr Howell revealed the crisps had been eaten, but said the suspect would be welcome to pick up the balaclava "when we're done extracting your DNA".

Judge Mario Carroza said investigators had found that Gen Alberto Bachelet died of heart problems aggravated by torture sessions after his arrest.
Gen Bachelet was loyal to President Salvador Allende, who was deposed in the coup led by Gen Augusto Pinochet.
Ms Bachelet, who was tortured herself, was Chile's president in 2006-2010.
Judge Carroza was assigned to review a complaint brought by relatives of the victims of military rule alleging that Gen Bachelet had been tortured to death.
He said a new forensic study concluded that "all the interrogations to which Gen Bachelet was submitted damaged his heart and was the likely cause of death".
Soon after the coup on 11 September 1973, the 51-year-old general was taken to a military academy, where he was questioned by members of the armed force he had previously led.
He died on 12 March 1974 while serving a sentence for treason in the capital Santiago.
His wife, Angela Jeria, and his daughter Michelle were also held and tortured before fleeing to Australia.
Michelle Bachelet now heads the UN women's agency.
Judge Carroza has also been in charge of an investigating into the death of Mr Allende.
A team of international experts concluded that Chile's first democratically elected Socialist president killed himself during the coup.

The 25-year-old sea turtle fell into a coma after a second operation on Sunday, following intestinal problems.
Named Omsin, meaning "Piggy Bank", she was found to be eating coins thrown into a public pond where she lived, in Chonburi province.
By the time they were removed, she was carrying 5kg (11lb) of coins.
The unusual mass of metal had cracked her shell, making the initial seven-hour operation necessary.
She was said to have been doing well after that surgery but developed blood poisoning at the weekend, which doctors said was the cause of death.
The coins were thrown into the pond by visitors hoping for good luck - a practice some hope will become less common after widespread coverage of the case in Thailand.
Omsin's demise prompted sadness and soul-searching.
Many took issue with "merit making" practices common in Thailand, that sometimes harm animal welfare.
Hopes had been high for Omsin's recovery.
Even after she slipped into a coma, the surgeon leading the team trying to save her said they wouldn't give up.
Doctors said the removal of the coins had created a space in Omsin's stomach that had probably blocked blood flow in her intestine.
That became fatal after she suffered an acute intestinal infection.
Chris Basham gave the Blades the lead when he headed Matt Done's cross past Walsall goalkeeper Neil Etheridge.
United quickly doubled their advantage through a superb Billy Sharp volley after good work from Basham.
Tom Bradshaw came closest for the Saddlers, but George Long was quickly off his line to smother as the Blades ended Walsall's three-game winning run.
Walsall are now nine points behind League One leaders Wigan, but have two games in hand, while Sheffield United are eight points off the play-offs with six games remaining.
Interim Walsall boss Jon Whitney told BBC WM 95.6:

"I'm a bit frustrated, but win or lose we don't over analyse straight after the game because emotions are quite raw so we always try and think a bit more logically.
"I can't fault our effort or our application. Of course there are decisions that we think we could have made better. Individually, we'll look at each goal as well.
"What we have to do now is make ourselves hard to beat next week and see if we can get the three points at Oldham."
William Thomas, 16, was found hanged at the family's farm in Llangyndeyrn on 22 August - two days before he was due to get his GCSE results.
The Llanelli inquest heard his parents have asked police to check his phone calls and text messages but they were unable to without his pin code.
The inquest has been adjourned until next year for the phone to be unlocked.
His father David Thomas told the hearing: "If it was the phone of a suspected terrorist I'm sure they would get into it.
"We are clutching at straws to find out what happened."
The schoolboy, a pupil at Ysgol Bro Myrddin in Carmarthen, was described as a brilliant rugby player and all-round sportsman who had been selected to train with the Llanelli Scarlets.
The inquest heard he passed his GCSEs with three A-grades, four Bs and one C and was due to return to school to study for his A-levels in September.
Parents David and Kelly Thomas said there was no reason why their son would want to end his own life but the phone could contain important information.
The inquest heard the phone was sent away to a specialist company but it could not unlock it. Apple were also approached but the phone remains locked and its contents are still a mystery.
Carmarthenshire coroner Mark Layton said: "I believe it's possible to get information off that phone and I will do everything in my power to get that information.
"It may answer some of your questions, it may not. But at least we can try."
Mr Layton said the police would send the phone away again to experts but he could force Apple to come to court to give evidence if necessary.
Adjourning the inquest, he added: "It seems to me that if the family want to know what's on the phone, then they should."
Ahmed Adeeb was in detention and being charged with high treason, Home Minister Umar Naseer said on Twitter.
President Abdulla Yameen narrowly escaped injury when a blast struck the boat he was using to return home from the airport late last month.
In recent years, the Maldives has been rocked by political infighting.
Mr Yameen's election has been the subject of drawn-out wrangling.
Security has been tightened in the capital Male amid fears of "turmoil" triggered by the arrest, says the Maldivian newspaper Haveeru.
"By early morning Saturday, lorries loaded with policemen and soldiers were seen on nearly every street," it reports.
Three others were also arrested on Saturday - including a former member of Adeeb's security detail and a member of the army's bomb squad, Associated Press news agency reported.
The Maldives Independent website said Mr Adeeb's arrest had "surprised and enthralled many Maldivians".
Analysis: Treason charges add to political turbulence
President Yameen and his wife were travelling to Male from the island where the airport is located on 28 September when their speedboat was hit by the bomb blast.
They had been to the hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
The president was unhurt, but his wife and and a number of others were injured when the device went off under a seat normally - but not in this instance - occupied by Mr Yameen.
Soon after the blast, speculation began to grow that Mr Adeeb was involved, reports say. Under the Maldivian constitution, the vice-president succeeds the president if he dies, is incapacitated or resigns.
Officials described the attack as an assassination attempt and had arrested two senior police officers - a week after the president fired his defence minister.
But on Saturday Mr Adeeb too was arrested at the airport as he returned from an official overseas visit "on suspicion of involvement in the boat blast", police spokesman Ismail Ali told AP.
Home Minister Naseer said he was being held on a prison island.
Mr Adeeb, who has denied any links to the explosion, had only been vice-president for three months.
He came to office when the previous vice-president was sacked by Mr Yameen, also on charges of treason.
Lee Francis broke into the West Midlands home of mother and son Rose, 93, and Ron Parker, 66, biting Ron during a struggle.
Rose Parker also joined in the fray, hitting Francis with her walking stick as the pair tussled on the floor.
A tooth was found two months later in the washing machine of their home and DNA matched it to Francis.
Francis targeted the house in Manor Park Road, Castle Bromwich, on 8 May fleeing with property worth £2,000.
Mr Parker tackled him but was bitten with such force he was left with a fractured finger.

"I think my rugby training kicked in," he said.
Rose Parker said: "I came in and they were lying on the floor and he was biting my son so I got my stick and I was poking him and hitting him."
On 18 July they found a tooth in their washing machine, which Det Insp Darren Lee from West Midlands Police described as a "breakthrough".
A police spokesman said: "During the scuffle a washing basket was upended and it seems that one of Francis' teeth − which fell out due to the ferocity of the bite − ended up mixed in with the dirty washing.
"It stayed undetected for several weeks until the residents heard it rattling around in the washing machine."
Francis, 39, admitted burglary and assault and was jailed for six years and four months at Birmingham Crown Court.
He also admitted a charge of drugs production after a small cannabis factory was uncovered in his loft, in Timberley Lane, Shard End.

Shenzhen-based Huawei is one of the world's biggest smartphone vendors behind Apple and Samsung.
Huawei's executive board director, William Xu, said he was "very pleased" with the deal.
"The next ten years are an important period for the traditional economy to move to a digital economy... Companies can not cope with all the challenges alone," he added.
The move came as GE said that it still saw plenty of opportunities in China, despite the country's slowing growth.
"Yes the economy is growing at a slower growth rate... (but) it's the the world's second-largest economy so there's plenty of opportunity," said GE vice chairman John Rice, speaking in Shanghai.
China's economy grew at an annual rate of 6.7% in the first quarter of the year, its slowest quarterly growth for seven years.
Mr Rice also said the fall in sterling following the outcome of the EU referendum vote would boost the company's exports.

He has worked on the project with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, directing the ensemble himself - without a conductor - from the piano stool.
His "Beethoven journey" began in 2011 with the idea to focus on the work of a single composer. And while the three Proms concerts that will host his final performances of Beethoven's five piano concertos were planned from the beginning of the project, the Beethoven seed was planted in Andsnes much earlier.
"Beethoven's music has been growing in me since I was a child," he says, "and when I was a student I felt the revolutionary character of the music".
Later it was the "human aspect" of Beethoven's music, the search for "answers to the big questions", that touched the pianist.
And despite Beethoven's image as a serious and often grumpy character, Andsnes has found the piano concertos to be "full of happiness" and surprises.
"There's an irrationality which is fun to play with as a musician," he says.
Play is a quality that came through strongly in Andsnes's performance at Prom 10 on Friday.
There was an optimism on display, which carried into more melodramatic episodes, such as in the first movement of the third concerto in C minor. And an immense energy was shared between the pianist and the orchestra, who between them brought the movement to a roaring end.
There was no sense of catharsis, just the impression of a musician who has grown with the music.
Andsnes gave himself all the time in the world going into the second movement, which opens with a spacious piano solo. And he had plenty left in the tank for the show-pony prancings of the final movement, with the Norwegian as ringmaster, bobbing up and down in his seat as he directed the musicians.
Working on the project with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Andsnes has performed Beethoven's five piano concertos, and the "Choral Fantasy" for piano, chorus and orchestra, in no fewer than 55 cities, in 22 different countries.
After such an intensive period working with just a limited number of works, the pianist says he has revisited "millions of small details".
"A lot of these details become part of the sub-conscious," he says, until the performance of these elements happens "automatically, in a way where it breathes more naturally."
"And then you are working on other things again, and making the performance more organic. And at the same time, maybe more surprising."
Playfulness was complemented with punch and vigour in Thursday's Prom 9, which opened with concerto No. 1.
The Mahler Chamber Orchestra's clean sound and tight articulation heard the staccatos of the opening section double back from the back the Royal Albert Hall. The ensemble's phrasing popped with crisp definition, and with Andsnes and his piano tucked closely into the orchestra, transitions into tender solo passages were smooth and unfussy.
Being so close to the musicians is both a necessity and an advantage. Andsnes needs to conduct the orchestra sometimes with a mere raise of the eyebrows - his hands are busy at the keyboard - and he relies heavily on the trust he has built up with the musicians over the course of the project.
And sitting with the orchestra at close quarters means they can hear each other very clearly and very quickly - enabling the instrumentalists to pick up on the pianist's slightest musical gesture.
Andsnes says concentrating solely on Beethoven was an opportunity to "try to understand one language" better.
"It's been really liberating to have this focus," he says. "Beethoven was so great for the piano. That's where so much of his experimentation happened, and where he developed as a composer."
Andsnes admits that at the start of the project he was nervous. The received wisdom is that one can never grow tired of the great composers. But would it really work out that way? Perhaps - after four years - he would never be able to face Beethoven again?
The Proms "is the last destination on my Beethoven journey," he says, "and for sure, I will have a few years break from these concertos now."
"It's been very intense and I'm longing to play other music as well. But I will come back to this and I will love this music for ever."
The project reaches its end at the Proms on Sunday evening with Beethoven's final "Emperor" piano concerto, and it will be a special occasion for the Norwegian pianist.
"I've been thinking about that moment for a long time and I'm sure I will feel very emotional. It's been very intense.
"The really difficult thing will be to say goodbye to the Mahler Chamber Orchestra," says Andsnes, "because there are deep friendships there now. That will be very difficult. I don't know when I will see them next."
So as he reaches the end of one pilgrimage, is it too soon to think about starting another?
"I'm not sure," Andsnes hestitates.
"I was thinking of this as a once in a lifetime project. But one can find other composers one can do big projects with and I've been intrigued by the fact that my personal journey has led me to understand and love this music so much better.
"I like to have a focus when it comes to repertoire, so we'll see."

"Until we have closed those two gaps, it's not realistic to talk about title challenges."
Ferrari had their worst season in 21 years in 2014, the nadir of a slump in performance that convinced Fernando Alonso to leave the team two years before the end of his contract because he had lost faith that they could give him a car in which he could win a third world title.
Ferrari have made significant progress this season, thanks in large part to a big step forward in performance from their engine, their biggest weak point in 2014.
But Allison said there was no reason at this stage to revise the aims the team set for themselves at the beginning of the season.
"We thought it was realistic to score a couple of wins," Allison said. "We'll take whatever comes our way and will do our best to close up [the gap] as much as we can.
"But sticking with the objectives we set at the beginning of the year is still realistic."
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was second fastest to Hamilton in practice at the Chinese Grand Prix on Friday, and the team looks set to be Mercedes' closest challenger over the weekend in Shanghai.
Hamilton appeared to have an advantage in pace of at least half a second a lap in both single-lap, qualifying trim and on race-simulation laps.
But it seemed clear from Friday practice that Ferrari continued to have lighter tyre usage than Mercedes, an asset that was a key factor in Vettel's win in Malaysia two weeks ago.
But the conditions are significantly cooler than in tropical Malaysia - the forecast is for dry weather, with temperatures expected to rise to about 20C in the race from 16C on Friday - so it should be easier for Mercedes to keep the tyre situation under control.

Vettel said: "For us, target number one is to be right behind Mercedes. You have to accept they are very strong and then as the season goes on we will try to get closer and closer."
Hamilton said: "The Ferraris look like they are just as quick as in the last race but hopefully we're quicker. Generally, it looks like it is going to be quite close."

I'm not sure this will definitely be my last Games. I've had an amazing career and now I have this medal
She beat Ukraine's Iryna Kindzerska to take third, admitting: "I'm lost for words. I'm just trying to keep my head together. It's not sunk in yet.
"I've dreamt of getting a medal since I was a kid and I couldn't ask for a better stage than this."
Cuba's Idalys Ortiz won gold by decision against Japan's Mika Sugimoto, who beat Bryant in the semi-final.
Bryant, 33, went behind to a waza-ari in her bronze medal contest but levelled with a waza-ari on the counter to huge roars from the crowd.
She conceded a yuko but scored a second waza-ari, which, added to the first, gave her an ippon and victory.
It is a second judo medal for GB's women after the silver won by Gemma Gibbons in the -78kg category on Thursday.
"Karina deserves this medal more than anyone. She has come through the disappointment of the last Games and produced a really gutsy performance. Kindzerska is a dangerous fighter, but Karina came into the match in form and produced a brilliant counter. She fought so well and waited for her moment."
Bryant said the performance of Gibbons had given her a lift.
"She was a complete underdog," said Bryant. "It made me so emotional. I was definitely inspired, but also a little nervous."
Bryant said she had found it hard to fund her bid for an Olympic medal but said she was not ruling out competing at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
"I'm not sure this will definitely be my last Games," she said. "I really felt I had unfinished business. I've had an amazing career and now I have this medal.
"This is my fourth Olympic Games, but I've really enjoyed it. I don't want to focus on what happens after this. I won't rule out Rio just yet."
She added: "Although I had lottery funding, I've really struggled financially. It's been hard. My car kept breaking down.

"My mum helped me financially. Then a lovely couple, Roger and Heather, also came in and helped me out."
Bryant already has four European Championship golds and seven World Championship medals to her name, but her bronze at the ExCel provided a first medal in four Olympics appearances.
She had missed six months of the 2011 season with a neck injury but a month-long training camp in Japan at the start of 2012 helped to get her into shape for the Games.
Police said the vehicle left the road and hit a tree in Barnhill Lane near Howden at 20:15 GMT on Tuesday.
Two passengers in the car, a 16-year-old girl from Selby and a 17-year-old boy from Goole, died at the scene.
The driver of the car, a 19-year-old man, sustained minor injuries and has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Anfield commemorated the 27th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 supporters died, with an impeccably observed minute's silence before kick-off - followed by a thriller that will be recalled for generations for sheer excitement and a finale that sent Anfield wild.
The Bundesliga side struck twice inside the first nine minutes through Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - both after swift breaks, with the latter sealed by a crisp 14-yard strike - to take a 3-1 aggregate lead in the tie.
The German side missed numerous more chances to extend their lead as Liverpool struggled to cope with their attacking threat.

The Reds slowly grew into the game, creating and missing a succession of chances. Even when Divock Origi gave them hope early in the second half - slotting the ball through the legs of keeper Roman Weidenfeller - it seemed to have been snuffed out by Marco Reus's cool 57th-minute finish.
They still needed three goals with less than 25 minutes left but Philippe Coutinho's low shot cut the deficit and when Mamadou Sakho headed in after 77 minutes, Liverpool stood on the brink of something remarkable.
Amid riotous scenes, Lovren rose to head home in stoppage time in front of the Kop to spark chaotic celebrations and seal a win that will take its place in Anfield folklore.

Liverpool fan to call newborn baby Dejan
Klopp received a rapturous reception from the fans who idolised him in Dortmund when he walked along the Anfield touchline before kick-off - but he then inflicted agony on the club he took to two Bundesliga titles and the Champions League final.
As Liverpool chased the game in the closing stages, Klopp was almost wound up to the point of frenzy, turning around to the crowd beneath Anfield's directors' box whirling his arms in encouragement and gesturing wildly for more vocal support.
It kept the momentum going and Liverpool's supporters believing right through the dark moments when Dortmund controlled the game, inspiring his players to that sensational finale.
The turnaround revived memories of the so-called 'Miracle of Istanbul' in 2005 when they came from 3-0 down at half-time to win the Champions League final against AC Milan.
This may not bring a trophy, but Klopp can now take his place alongside other Liverpool managers who have their names alongside famous victories.
When Klopp urged Liverpool's players to take a bow in front of the Kop after they claimed a 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion in injury time earlier this season, he was mocked and the gesture was taken as a signal of how low expectations had fallen.
The bow was back at the final whistle here and no-one would begrudge Klopp or anyone else for taking in the acclaim.
When Klopp took over from sacked Brendan Rodgers in October, he set about rebuilding the relationship between Liverpool's players and disillusioned supporters. He has already forged the bond and nights like this will only cement it further.
Liverpool could have gone under when they needed three goals to go through but they created a host of chances throughout the game and not for one moment did they resemble a team who felt the task was beyond them.
On and on they came against a Dortmund side who, while dangerous in attack, gave Liverpool a chance at the back all night - one chance too many in the end.
Anfield has seen many great nights and this can be added to the list.
It almost seems an insult to suggest it after the feast of football witnessed, but for all the drama and the surge of attacking football that eventually swept Dortmund aside, Liverpool still look so vulnerable at the back.
Sakho is a fans' favourite and contributed a goal but he was guilty of poor positioning that contributed to all three Dortmund goals.
With left-back Alberto Moreno also a weak link, Klopp has work to do in the defensive areas - but no-one was too concerned with that after a truly remarkable night.
The victory over Dortmund continued a long tradition of famous and emotional European nights for Liverpool.
The most memorable of these surely remains the 2005 Champions League final, when Rafael Benitez's team came from 3-0 down at half-time to draw 3-3 with AC Milan before winning the match on penalties. Liverpool fans often talk about the spirit of Istanbul - and it was clearly in evidence on Thursday.
But it is not the only memorable European night for the club. In December 2004, Liverpool needed to win by a margin of two clear goals against Olympiakos to qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League.
Rivaldo put the Greek side ahead but Liverpool fought back with Steven Gerrard scoring a late winner.
In 1977, Liverpool returned to Anfield for the second leg of a European Cup tie against French side St-Etienne trailing 1-0.
The Reds took the lead but needed to score twice more after Dominique Bathenay's equaliser. However, goals from Ray Kennedy and super-sub David Fairclough ensured they did just that.
Liverpool will be in Friday's draw for the last four of the Europa League. That will be covered in Sportsday on the BBC Sport website.

The governors would have autonomy over their operation and budgets, he said.
The PM also announced new powers to speed up the deportation of foreign inmates and plans for all jails to be assessed through league tables.
Penal charities said reforms would not work if prisoners were "crammed into filthy institutions with no staff".
Downing Street said the creation of the "reform prisons" from existing jails would happen by the end of the year, although it did not name any locations.
Mr Cameron said "current levels of prison violence, drug-taking and self-harm should shame us all", with a typical week seeing 600 incidents of self-harm, at least one suicide and 350 assaults including 90 on staff.
In what he described as the "biggest shake-up of prisons since the Victorian era", he said prisoners should be seen as "potential assets to be harnessed" and the "failure of our system today is scandalous".
In other developments:
Ahead of his speech to the Policy Exchange think tank in central London, Mr Cameron was shown around HMP Onley, a category C prison near Rugby, where he met prisoners being trained in bicycle repair and barista skills.
Mr Cameron said the government would accept the recommendations made in Dame Sally Coates's review of prison education, due to be published soon, including a promise to protect the £130m budget.

Former Liberal Democrat MP and education minister David Laws will help develop a new scheme through organisations such as TeachFirst to encourage graduates to take up teaching posts in prisons.
BBC home editor Mark Easton says the government will try to square the circle of pushing up standards without pushing up costs by increasing local control and competition in prisons.
He says some will argue that the prime minister side-stepped perhaps the biggest issue of all, the fact there are consistently high numbers of people in prison.
Last month, the outgoing chief inspector of prisons in England and Wales said conditions in adult prisons had deteriorated over the past five years.
Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, said Mr Cameron's proposals were "only part of the equation - you have got to look at what drives crime" but the focus was long overdue.
Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said: "Prisons are currently violent and overcrowded....
"We need action now to tackle sentence inflation and the profligate use of prison. Then the prime minister's vision can become a reality."
Simon, who was released from prison in June after serving 16 years of a life sentence, told the BBC "more professional staff, more support and more education" was key.
"Taking a humane and personal approach towards addressing offending behaviour, allows them to access support and build a better self - to the benefit of all in society."
The prime minister said governors would have control over the way they run their prisons. This would include "total discretion" on budgets, and the ability to opt out of some of the thousands of pages of rules and regulations set in Whitehall.
"We need prisons. Some people - including, of course, rapists, murderers, child abusers, gang leaders - belong in them," he said.
"I also strongly believe that we must offer chances to change; that for those trying hard to turn themselves around, we should offer hope; that in a compassionate country, we should help those who've made mistakes to find their way back onto the right path."
The prime minister said ministers would legislate to require foreign criminals to declare their nationality in court as presently this does not take place early enough "and this can hamper our ability to deport them".
Shadow justice secretary Lord Falconer welcomed the government plans but said the "scandalous failure David Cameron condemns is his own".
He said: "The Tories have had five years to improve our prisons and we have heard promises of 'rehabilitation revolution' many times before."
The plan to give prison governors more autonomy develops ideas floated by Justice Secretary Michael Gove last year. Prisoners who acquired new skills or qualifications could "earn" their release, Mr Gove suggested.
The prime minister has already announced plans to find alternatives to custody for pregnant women or new mothers and confirmed that a pilot scheme to track offenders by satellite would launch later this year.
And in November last year the government said nine new prisons would open in England and Wales under plans to close Victorian-era jails in a bid to save about £80m a year.
Benjamin Edge, 25, fell from a structure he was helping to dismantle in Ramsbottom on 10 December and later died from "catastrophic" head injuries.
Two men, aged 23 and 30 from Bury, have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.
A joint police and health and safety investigation continues into the circumstances surrounding the death.
The two men have also been arrested on conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, along with a 32-year-old man from Burnley, Lancashire, and man aged 35 from Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester Police said.
Paying tribute Mr Edge's family said he was "a loving, caring son, twin brother and family man.
"Ben was a much loved partner and father and will always remain a huge part of everyone's lives."
Det Sgt Lawrence Dixon said: "We are continuing to look into the circumstances that led up to Ben's death, so we can provide his family with the answers of exactly what happened on that day in December."
Hamilton Academical went three points clear after Tuesday's 3-0 home win over Caley Thistle.
"I think the majority of them fight," manager Foran said of his players.
"But there's a few can't handle the occasion, can't handle where we are in the league, but they are the ones that have to have a rest now."
Foran ran the dressing-room as captain until taking over as manager in the summer, but now he has turned the spotlight on his former team-mates after a run of 13 games without a win other than in the Scottish Cup against League Two outfit Elgin City.
"That's the worst defeat of the season," he told BBC Scotland.
"Forget about top-six now. That's done. We're in a relegation battle.
"Some of our players are obviously not up to that challenge.
"Some of our players haven't got the bottle.
"I need to bring in the ones that are ready to battle, ready to fight for everything."
Foran thought his players' heads went down after Greg Tansey failed to equalise when his penalty was saved by Gary Woods at a time when he thought his side were on top.
"A few of the boys started hiding, which is disappointing, and then there's individual mistakes," he said.
"I just told them straight. I can see who's bottling it. I can see who doesn't want to take the ball.
"I'm not stupid. I can tell by body language. I can see players taking a step to the left so they don't need to take the ball to the right.
"It's not them all. I thought Billy Mckay was excellent for us actually without any help around him."
Asked if he can save Caley Thistle from relegation, Foran said: "Definitely, but I need the help of the players.
"You can set up shapes, tactics, but they've got to perform when they go out there and walk across that white line.
"I am not going to take the full blame for this. I'll take my fair share, but the players have got to stand up and be counted and they didn't some of them.
"Am I too harsh? I don't know. We score the penalty and maybe go on to win the game.
"It is incidents like that that haven't gone for us this season, but you can't keep making excuses either."
The singer was to perform at Exeter's Powderham Castle on 29 July and at Kings Park, Bournemouth on 5 August.
Stephen C Associates Limited, which organised the events, said it had ceased trading.
In a statement the promoter said: "The company is not in a position to offer you a refund."
Only those who bought tickets from Stephen C Associates Limited using their credit cards can claim their money back, it said.
"If you are not protected in this way because you bought your tickets by some other means, it would appear that you will not be able to recover your money," the promoter added.
Many, including Lynsey Welstead from Bournemouth, paid for their tickets using debit cards.
She spent £130 for three tickets as a Christmas present for her sons.
"My boys are such big fans of Olly Murs. It would have been their first concert - it's really disappointing," she said.
BH Live, a ticket agent for the Bournemouth concert, said it would contact those who bought tickets through it "shortly to arrange a full refund".
Olly Murs tweeted: "I'm so gutted for my fans in Exeter and Bournemouth. Although it's out of my control I'm still so sorry and hope I can get to see you all soon!"
Lorna Wilson, who bought four tickets for her daughter's birthday, said: "His apology is not good enough. He should step up to the mark and sort this mess out."
The BBC has contacted Olly Murs' management for a comment.
Powderham Castle, home to the Earl and Countess of Devon, was also due to host a concert by Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra on July 30 organised by the promoter.
In a statement Charlie and AJ Courtenay said: "While we cannot hope to make up for the disappointment of missing these shows, we are looking at ways to make a gesture for those who have bought tickets."
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra said it was "very disappointed" at the cancellation and said any tickets which had been bought directly from the orchestra would be fully refunded.
Laura Pulley, 35, wanted to travel a few stops on Canvey Island, Essex, with her four-year-old daughter.
The driver said he did not have to accept the coins, which are legal tender for amounts under 20p.
A spokesman from bus group First said it was not a policy to refuse travel to anyone paying with small change.
"I thought he was joking when he said I couldn't pay 25p in coppers. I said 'That's all I've got on me' but he said I couldn't travel," Ms Pulley told the BBC.
She said the driver called police, and an officer spoke to the driver before offering to pay her bus fare.
"We were concerned to learn of Ms Pulley's experience on board one of our buses," said the First spokesman.
"We will be contacting her directly to apologise for any embarrassment or inconvenience caused."
Ms Pulley said she had been left "upset and embarrassed" by the altercation, which happened on Monday lunchtime.
"No one should feel embarrassed for using coppers, it's the Queen's money," she said.
"I'd used my last bit of loose change at the bakery beforehand. I couldn't believe the audacity of the driver to tell me I couldn't travel."
Ms Pulley posted a message about her experience on Facebook, which attracted dozens of responses.
"The majority of people were quite rightly saying you pay with a note and you get the same sort of reaction, the drivers say they haven't got change," she told the BBC.
"A couple of ex-bus drivers had thrown their two pennyworth in, but other than that people were supportive."

It relates to the club's approach to a 12-year-old academy player at Stoke City in September last year.
Liverpool will be banned from signing any academy players who have been registered with a Premier League or EFL club in the previous 18 months.
This second year of the ban will be suspended for a three-year period.
In September 2016 Liverpool made an application to register the Stoke City Academy player and compensation was agreed.
But the application was rejected by the Premier League Board.
An investigation by the Premier League found that Liverpool spoke to the youngster and his family before they should have and also paid for him and some of his family to attend a game at Anfield.
Liverpool also offered to pay the player's school fees, which were being paid by Stoke at this time, but this was a breach of newly-introduced regulations which state a benefit can only be offered if it is applicable to all youngsters across the club's academy and this was not the case.
Premier League rules ban the offer of any inducements from clubs to encourage a move.
Liverpool have admitted the rule breaches.
The incident took place at Brunel University in Uxbridge between 19:30 BST on Saturday and 01:30 on Sunday.
The man was held on Tuesday afternoon on suspicion of public order offence but has been bailed.
On Tuesday a student apologised for a "chainsaw-wielding clown" prank filmed on the university grounds.
The self-described YouTube prankster, who said he was a media studies student and gave his name as Kenny, told BBC Radio London he was "only chasing his friends" in a video shot on Brunel University campus.
A man in his 50s was also arrested by police in Hayes, west London, on Tuesday after reports of a man in clown mask possessing what looks like a firearm in a car.
Police said they were assessing three incidents for potential criminal offence.
The Met said it had received several reports of "killer clowns" frightening people across London since last week.
Commander Julian Bennett said: "We are currently assessing a small number of reported 'killer clown' incidents in London, three of which meet the threshold of a criminal offence.
"Our primary responsibility is indentifying and investigating those incidents where a criminal offence has occurred.
"However, anti-social behaviour can leave people feeling scared, anxious and intimidated and I would urge those who are causing fear and alarm to carefully consider the impact their actions have on others."
Officers will carry out "additional reassurance patrols" in the run up to Halloween, he added.
6 October: A man walking towards Latimer Road Underground station in west London was confronted by a man wearing a clown mask and carrying a hockey stick. The suspect jumped out from behind shrubbery and chased the victim. No arrests have been made.
8-9 October: Reports are received of a man in a clown costume deliberately frightening several people at the Brunel university campus. A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence. He has been bailed until later this month.
10 October: Reports of a woman being chased by a man wearing a clown mask with a knife in Marlborough Road, Islington. Officers said the victim was walking when she saw the suspect on a bicycle and that he followed her before fleeing the scene in the direction of Hornsey Road. No arrests have been made.
Manor House Gardens, Hither Green: A 13-year-old girl said she was chased by someone wearing a clown mask and wig, and possibly carrying a small penknife. No arrests have been made.
11 October: Police were called to Bonham Road in Dagenham to reports of two children on their way to school seeing a person wearing a clown mask. The children ran away.
Church Green in Hayes: A man in a car wearing a clown mask and possessing what appeared to be a firearm reported to police at 15:45 BST. Heathrow Armed Response Unit responded and stopped a car in Uxbridge Road in Hillingdon. An imitation firearm was recovered and a man in his 50s was arrested on suspicion of possessing an imitation firearm.
Gen Buhari's party said his opponent, incumbent Goodluck Jonathan, had admitted defeat and congratulated him.
Mr Jonathan trailed Gen Buhari by about two million votes when he conceded.
Observers have generally praised the election but there have been allegations of fraud, which some fear could lead to protests and violence.
Election results as they happened
A spokesman for Gen Buhari's All Progressives Congress (APC) party praised Mr Jonathan, saying: "He will remain a hero for this move. The tension will go down dramatically."
The APC issued a statement after the result was announced, calling for "calm, sober celebrations" and warning supporters not to attack opponents.
"He or she is not with me, whoever does that," the new president said.
Analysis: Will Ross, BBC Nigeria correspondent, Abuja
This is a hugely significant moment in Nigeria's turbulent history. Never before has a sitting president been defeated in an election.
Since independence from Britain in 1960, there have been numerous coups and most elections have been rigged. Of course in a close election there will be many voters who are not pleased with this outcome but the whole process is a sign that democracy is deepening in Nigeria.
The poll has once again brought to the surface dangerous religious and regional differences and there is still a threat of violence.
The man who has been voted out, Goodluck Jonathan, has played a huge part today in trying to prevent that. He made the phone call when there would no doubt have been some in his camp who would have preferred to dig their heels in.
Five reasons why Goodluck Jonathan lost
Profile: Muhammadu Buhari
Profile: Goodluck Jonathan
Results at 18:00 local time (17:00 GMT) showed Gen Buhari with 15 million votes, and Mr Jonathan with 12.8 million votes.
Results have been declared in all states, except for Borno, which is viewed as one of the APC's strongholds.
Gen Buhari's supporters took to the streets in the northern cities of Kano and Kaduna, singing and dancing in celebration.
It is the fourth time the former military ruler, 72, has sought the presidency.
He ruled Nigeria from January 1984 until August 1985, taking charge after a military coup in December 1983.
Mr Jonathan had led Nigeria since 2010, initially as acting leader before winning elections in 2011.
Nigeria has suffered from several attacks by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which has killed thousands of people in its drive to establish an Islamic state.
Many voters have said that they believe Gen Buhari is better positioned to defeat Boko Haram.
The verdict on Mr Buhari's 20 months as military ruler is mixed.
The incredible flanker captained the All Blacks 110 times, played a record 148 Tests, 131 of them wins, and led his team to two World Cup final victories.
McCaw is also a three-time winner of the World Player of the Year award.
Speaking at a conference, McCaw paid his respects to fellow All Black Jonah Lomu, who died on Wednesday.
"Today, I thought about whether it was the right thing to do," said McCaw. "But I'm going to be hanging up my boots."
"My last game was the World Cup final, so the end of something that has been a big part of my life," he said.
"I made no secret this year was probably going to be my last, but deep down I didn't want to shut the door totally. I was worried the emotion might get to me in a World Cup year, by leaving that door open it didn't feel final until now.
" I've been privileged to do what I love for so long. Here's to new adventures," he added.
McCaw says he now plans to look into a career as a helicopter pilot.
North Kessock-based Charlie Phillips has spent years observing and photographing the mammals along the firth's Highland and Moray coastlines.
Many of the dolphins can be easily identified by the WDC field officer and others who work for the charity.
The animals are known by names including Zephyr and Yoda.
Among the animals photographed by Mr Phillips on Thursday was Zephyr's baby.
An estimated 102 individual dolphins breed and feed in the firth, according to a recent survey of the animals.
The Moray Firth and North Sea provide habitat for the world's most northerly resident population of bottlenose dolphins.
The species is protected by European Union rules.
A massive ship is being used in the construction of the Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Project in the Outer Moray Firth.
Seaway Heavy Lifting's Stanislav Yudin has a 2,500-tonne, 110m (360ft) revolving crane.
It is also equipped with hydraulic hammers which are being used for installing piles needed for the jacket substructures of the offshore wind turbines.
The ship, which had been berthed at Port of Cromarty in Invergordon, has accommodation for 151 personnel and a helicopter heli-deck.
The Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Limited is being constructed in the Moray Firth at a cost of £2.6bn. Energy firm SSE is among the scheme's investors.
A total of 84 turbines are to be installed by Seaway Heavy Lifting.
The first cluster of foundation piles were installed on Sunday.
The Nigg Energy Park, also on the Cromarty Firth, is also being used for the construction of the wind farm.
Fife-based Burntisland Fabrications Ltd (BiFab) is manufacturing offshore jacket substructures for the scheme at its yards in Arnish on the Isle of Lewis and Burntisland and Methil in Fife.
Noel Cummins, SSE's major projects liaison manager, said the installation of the foundation piles was among a number of developments in the project.
He said: "Renovation of the iconic Thomas Telford buildings in Wick, which will become our long term operations and maintenance base, is well underway and offshore construction began this weekend, culminating in the successful installation of the first cluster of foundation piles.
"In Moray, we're also making good progress at our substation in Blackhillock and at our works along the export cable route from near Portgordon to the Blackhillock substation."
Last year the number fell by 3% compared with the previous 12 months to 1,282.
NHS Blood and Transplant said fewer people were suitable for donating organs and there had been a fall in families giving consent.
However, the figures are still considerably higher than a decade ago.
A donated heart, kidney or liver can save a life, however, there are massive shortages.
The annual Organ Donation and Transplantation Activity Report showed more than 1,200 people either died on the waiting list or were removed because of deteriorating health.
Yet now the NHS is reporting a 5% drop in the number of live donors - which include people donating a spare kidney or part of their liver - and the first drop in donations after death for 11 years.
The consequence was:
There are many potential factors behind the fall, but doctors are being hit by a shrinking pool of potential donors and families being more likely to reject permission for donation.
Out of the half a million people who die in the UK each year only a tiny fraction die in circumstances that are suitable for donation.
Yet improvements in fields such as stroke and trauma mean patients are more likely to survive and as a result there are fewer donors.
The pool of potential donors shrank to 7,450 in 2014-15 from 8,157 the year before.
However, families giving consent has also fallen from 59% to 58% including 120 families who went against the deceased person's own wishes to donate.
NHS Blood and Transplant is calling for a "revolution in attitudes to organ donation".
Sally Johnson, from NHS Blood and Transplant, said: "The decreases we can see across all types of organ transplant will lead to more deaths if we do not reverse this trend.
"We have always known that because the opportunities to donate are so small, it is essential to increase the number of people who say yes to organ donation.
"If the pool of potential donors is reduced then this is even more important.
"We understand that families are expected to consider donation in their darkest hour so we would remind everyone to tell those closest to you now if you want to donate your organs and then record that decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register."
Wales is due to become the first part of the UK to change their rules to a system where everyone is presumed to have given their consent for their organs to be donated.
People will have to opt out from December 2015.
The British Heart Foundation said the rest of the UK needed to follow suit in order to tackle the number of people waiting for a heart transplant, which has doubled in the past five years.
The charity's chief executive said: "Tragically, these figures show that the number of available organs is outstripped by the number of heart patients waiting for a lifeline.
"We hope the rest of the UK will follow Wales' trailblazing lead."
France midfielder Moussa Sissoko, 26, was the only Magpies player selected for the tournament in his home country.
Benitez agreed a new three-year deal with United, despite failing to keep them in the Premier League after replacing Steve McClaren in March.
"Usually I have maybe 10 players or 15 players go, so I think it will be much better now with one player," he said.
"I think it will be really good for us, especially for the coaches, because we can start working with our ideas almost straight away."
The Spaniard confirmed he would like to keep Sissoko, who reportedly told a French website he wanted to leave Newcastle and expressed interest in joining Arsenal.
"He knows that he's an important player for us so I will try to keep him with us," Benitez told BBC Newcastle.
"These comments in the press, I think it's important to realise that they will not change things.
"We want to keep the squad as strong as possible and then we will analyse every single case, but we will try to do the best for the team."
The up-and-coming funnyman was given the prize by digital TV channel Dave, whose panel put a selection of their favourites to a public vote.
He won for the joke: "I needed a password eight characters long so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarves."
Last year's winner, quick-fire joker Tim Vine, was beaten into second place by Helm.
Helm said: "I knew my joke was the funniest joke of all the other jokes in 2011.
"Thank you to Dave and all the people that voted for proving me right."
Veteran entertainer Paul Daniels won the wooden spoon for the worst joke of the festival.
He won the dubious honour for his gag: "I said to a fella 'Is there a B&Q in Henley?' He said 'No, there's an H, an E, an N an L and a Y'."
The top 10 festival funnies were judged to be:
1) Nick Helm: "I needed a password eight characters long so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarves."
2) Tim Vine: "Crime in multi-storey car parks. That is wrong on so many different levels."
3) Hannibal Buress: "People say 'I'm taking it one day at a time'. You know what? So is everybody. That's how time works."
4) Tim Key: "Drive-Thru McDonalds was more expensive than I thought... once you've hired the car..."
5) Matt Kirshen: "I was playing chess with my friend and he said, 'Let's make this interesting'. So we stopped playing chess."
6) Sarah Millican: "My mother told me, you don't have to put anything in your mouth you don't want to. Then she made me eat broccoli, which felt like double standards."
7) Alan Sharp: "I was in a band which we called The Prevention, because we hoped people would say we were better than The Cure."
8) Mark Watson: "Someone asked me recently - what would I rather give up, food or sex. Neither! I'm not falling for that one again, wife."
9) Andrew Lawrence: "I admire these phone hackers. I think they have a lot of patience. I can't even be bothered to check my OWN voicemails."
10) DeAnne Smith: "My friend died doing what he loved ... Heroin."
The Three Lions went out of the Euro 2016 last 16 following a 2-1 defeat by minnows Iceland, with manager Roy Hodgson resigning on the same night.
Boothroyd's side begin their Under-19 Championship against France on Tuesday.
"This is what it is about," said Boothroyd. "Taking the players to tournaments, so that they can develop in those environments."
"They are with players they can grow with and go into the older age groups."
England under 19s have been drawn in Group B alongside the French, Netherlands and Croatia for the tournament in Germany.
England's Under 21 side won the Toulon Tournament in May under Gareth Southgate, while the under 17 side lost in the quarter-final of the European Championship to Spain.
"We want to be positive, it is not all doom and gloom," Boothroyd, 45, told BBC Radio 5 live.
Under Hodgson, the senior side reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 before going out of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil at the group stages without winning a game.
Meanwhile Wales, under manager Chris Coleman, managed to provide one of the shocks of Euro 2016 by reaching the semi-finals where they lost 2-1 to tournament winners Portugal.
Former Watford boss Boothroyd added: "We have a plan and we have some good people in the system that are working really hard so that we can be proud of being English and not hear about the Welsh all the time.
"I can say that because my wife is Welsh. That is all I have heard about in my house.
"If you play in tournaments and win them, or get to the latter stages, then you are getting experiences. That is what we are looking to do. That is what the development programme is about.
"We want the players to get tournament football experiences so that we are strong and can deal with pressure and can cope with it."

The 22-year-old finished on 14 under par after five birdies and an eagle in his final nine holes helped him card a second-round 64 at the 36-hole event.
Rai, who will play in his first major, beat Li Haotong of China by one shot.
"It's a dream come true to play in any major, and with it being the US Open it makes it extra special," he said.
Scotland's Richie Ramsay, Welshman Bradley Dredge, Ireland's Paul Dunne and English trio Andrew Johnston, Eddie Pepperell and Matt Wallace also qualified.
Wallace, who recently won the Open de Portugal on only his third European Tour start, said: "My first major, I'm so happy.
"I just can't believe it. Six months ago I was on the Alps Tour, which is crazy. I've just had the best six or seven months of my life."
This year's US Open takes place between 15-18 June in Erin Hills, Wisconsin.
Qualifiers: Aaron Rai (Eng) -14; Haotong Li (Chi) -13; Alexander Levy (Fra) -12; Richie Ramsey (Sco) -12; Oliver Bekker (SA) -11; Joel Stalter (Fra) -11; Bradley Dredge (Wal) -11; Eddie Pepperell (Eng) -11; Brandon Stone (SA) -10; George Coetzee (S Africa) -10; Andrew Johnston (Eng) -10; Paul Dunne (ROI) -9; Matt Wallace (Eng) -9; Thomas Aiken (SA) -9; Wade Ormsby (Aus) -9.
Scientists say pictures of 67P show its two lobes to have "onion skin" layers that intersect in a way that can only be the result of two different bodies having collided and stuck together.
Ever since Rosetta arrived at the comet, the origin of its bizarre form has been one of the major puzzles.
The solution is now due to be published in the journal Nature.
Mission team members have also held a media conference to give further details, at the European Planetary Science Congress in Nantes, France.
Rosetta first spied the duck shape on approach to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in July 2014.
The idea that it was a "contact binary" - two conjoined comets - was a popular explanation from the word go.
But proving it has not been straightforward. An alternative possibility is simply that the icy dirt ball has been sculpted this way.
Every time it comes around the Sun, 67P's ices warm and it throws off gas and dust, and it could have been that this process has dominated in just one region to produce the distinctive appearance.
The Osiris camera on Rosetta can now settle the debate.
It reveals layers up to 650m thick in the body of the duck that are independent of similar strata detected in its head.
Additional measurements taken by Rosetta of variations in the local tug of gravity across the lobes also support this two-body origin.
The direction of the tugging is more closely aligned with the independent layering than with a centre of mass associated with a single object.
Scientists say that to collide and stick together, the impact must have been a very low velocity one - perhaps just a few metres per second. Any faster and the primary objects would have done enormous damage to each other.
"I would say it's a quite beautiful love story," Matteo Massironi, from the Osiris team, said at Monday's press briefing.
He added that a key piece of evidence was a series of cross-sections of the comet, which the team were able to construct by extending the layers glimpsed on the surface into a 3D model of 67P's interior. These cross-sections painted a clear picture of two distinct sets of layers, reminiscent of a pair of onions.
"You don't know the structure of an onion until you cut across it," Dr Massironi said. "What we have seen is that this stratification is really continuous - and that [the one in the tail] doesn't match that of the head."
The discovery's consequences for what we understand about comet formation could be quite profound, says team member Stephen Lowry from Kent University, UK.
"It shows that comets were forming into large sizes and that they were then still colliding in this grown form to make even larger comets. So, it's not simply a case of independent comets completely forming out of centimetre- or metre-sized planetesimals, to make the comets we see today. And that's really quite fascinating, because it could be quite a ubiquitous process."
Other comets seen at relatively close quarters also display lobed shapes, including comets Halley, Borrelly and Hartley-2. Could they also be the result of low-velocity bump-and-stick events?
The tantalising prospect now is whether what was once two objects could split into two again. Could the constant erosion of gas and dust result in the duck losing its head? And will Rosetta be on hand to witness it?
The European Space Agency (Esa) probe has pictured a crack in the neck region of 67P, says Dr Lowry.
"If a comet is going to split, it's most likely to break along the interface between the two lobes. But I haven't seen any evidence yet that the crack is getting longer or wider. That's a strong indicator to me that perhaps 67P won't split on this orbit of the Sun."
The comet takes just over six years to orbit the Sun and the Rosetta mission, after receiving a 10-month extension, will nonetheless end in September 2016.
At that point the spacecraft will spiral gradually closer and land yet again on 67P, said Esa project scientist Matt Taylor at the press conference - making a reference to the Philae lander's bumpy touchdown in November 2014.
He added that although the comet had passed its "perihelion" (its closest approach to the Sun), the mission was really only just beginning. "The papers are starting to flow."

Stijn Wuytens bravely headed AZ into the lead on the hour but needed lengthy treatment after being concussed.
Dundalk's hopes looked slim when captain Stephen O'Donnell was sent off for a second yellow card.
But Ciaran Kilduff, who broke his back in April, headed home late on and they survived nine minutes of injury time.
The 27-year-old substitute, who sustained fractured vertebrae in a domestic cup match, had to spend 10 days wearing a neck brace.
Stephen Kenny's Dundalk have won the League of Ireland - which runs from March to November - for the past two seasons, and are 10 points clear at the top this season.
But their run in Europe has brought wider attention to his side.
Dundalk beat Icelandic side FH in the Champions League qualifiers, before stunning BATE Borisov 3-0 to win 3-1 on aggregate. They lost in the play-off to Legia Warsaw, instead dropping into the Europa League group stages.
They wanted to go one better than Shamrock Rovers, the only Irish team to reach the group stages, who lost all their six games in 2011.
And after one night - one magical night - in Alkmaar, they have already done that.
When skipper O'Donnell, who had only just returned from a European ban, was dismissed on 72 minutes for bringing down Ridgeciano Haps, Dundalk seemed to have little chance of taking anything from the game.
But, after surviving several scares, Kilduff got on the end of a Daryl Horgan free-kick to head the crucial goal.
Dundalk will play their home matches at Tallaght Stadium in Dublin, the home of Shamrock Rovers. Maccabi Tel Aviv, who lost 4-3 to Zenit St Petersburg in the group's other opener, are the visitors for the next round of matches on 29 September.
There was immediate concern for Wuytens after his goal, the 26-year-old midfielder colliding with Dundalk keeper Gary Rogers, having courageously got on the end of a long ball to head the opener.
Wuytens received lengthy medical attention before being carried off wearing a neck brace.
However, the Eredivisie club soon announced that the Belgian had regained consciousness.

The mascot for a dairy company has gone viral online after it's crazy dance moves were caught on camera and posted on social media.
The cow, called Manchas is well known in Mexico for its dancing, and often challenges other mascots to a dance off.
The videos of Manchas dancing in a supermarket aisles now have millions of views online.
The Premier League-bound Seagulls were beaten by Bristol City and Norwich in their past two games with only three points required to seal top spot.
Glenn Murray's penalty after Sam Baldock was fouled by Nathan Baker, who was sent off for the challenge, looked to be sending them towards the title.
However, Grealish's strike handed top spot to Newcastle, who beat Barnsley.
Chris Hughton's side, who confirmed their return to the top flight on 17 April, also miss out on a fourth league title in 16 years - with no other current EFL team having won more league titles since 2000 than the Seagulls.
Villa, good value for their point against Brighton, finish 13th in the Championship after relegation from the Premier League last season.
Henri Lansbury wasted their clearest opportunity prior to Murray's opener, heading over the crossbar with the goal at his mercy.
Visiting goalkeeper David Stockdale was also forced into several smart saves - the best to deny Conor Hourihane from long range - but he looked to be at fault for Grealish's late equaliser.
Having played the last half an hour with 10 men following Baker's straight red card, the 31-year-old keeper was wrong-footed by the Villa midfielder's strike despite appearing to initially have it covered.
Brighton will now have to pick themselves up after their stuttering end to the season as they prepare for their first top-flight campaign for 34 years.
Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce:
"We're 31 points behind Brighton and that's unacceptable. I've got to have a squad of players who can mount a challenge otherwise I won't be sitting here [next season].
"We've finished 13th and that's the lowest I've finished in my career.
"The draw put a bit of a dampener on it [for Brighton] but they have got promoted. For us to be 31 points behind them shows the work I've got and we're as jealous as hell."
Brighton boss Chris Hughton:
"Today is a negative day, it's difficult, but there are far more pluses. What these lads have achieved this season has been magnificent.
"David [Stockdale] has been excellent for us all season and he had made two very good saves from free-kicks before. There's never any portion of blame. We have to accept it as a team.
"For us the season is finished and we have achieved our goal. We're playing in a division where there are some very big teams, who have spent big money, and we have managed to come in the top two."

So far in 2017, 8,385 people have reached the country by sea, more than triple the number seen at the same time in 2016. Greece has had 11,713 people.
The shift may be because migrants are finding the Spanish route safer.
Meanwhile, 10 men from sub-Saharan Africa were rescued off the coast of Spain.
The coastguard said they were on a rickety boat off the southern town of Tarifa, in Cádiz province, where a boat full of migrants landed at a popular tourist beach on Wednesday, stunning tourists.
Despite seeing an increase in arrivals, Spain is still far behind Italy, which has received 96,861 until 9 August, according to the IOM.
"We assume that some of the change is due to the fact that the route [to Spain] is considered a safe route up to the coast through Morocco," Joel Millman, a senior IOM spokesman, was quoted by AFP news agency as saying.
Many of those opting for the longer route are from west African countries including Senegal, Gambia, Guinea and Ivory Coast.
Some 11,849 people have arrived in Spain so far this year, compared to 13,246 in all of last year, the IOM says.
According to AFP, nine of the 30 or so migrants who arrived on the beach on Wednesday had been found.
They are all minors in their teens and, while they did not have any ID on them, are thought to be from Morocco, police were quoted as saying .
They will be taken to migrant reception centres, where they can apply for asylum in Spain, AFP adds.
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.

Of the 23 England Lionesses that finished third overall in Canada, 17 made league appearances on Sunday.
A new club-record crowd of 2,102 saw Manchester City beat Birmingham City 1-0 at the Academy Stadium.
The average attendance of Sunday's WSL 1 games was 78% higher than the average for the first half of the 2015 season.
The 2,061 who saw Liverpool win 3-1 at Arsenal was more than two-and-a-half times the crowd for the Gunners' last home game.
Meanwhile, more than 1,200 fans watched Chelsea beat Bristol Academy 4-1 at Staines Town, while nearly 1,000 people were at the Hetton Centre to see Sunderland snatch a late win over Notts County.
The results saw Chelsea extend their lead at the top of WSL 1 to five points, while Manchester City and Liverpool's wins mean there are now just four points separating second and sixth.
South Korea forward Ji So-Yun was among the goalscorers for Chelsea, who have won five of their seven league games so far.
England midfielder Fara Williams' long-range strike opened the scoring for Liverpool, as they secured their first away points of the season.
Lionesses forward Toni Duggan gave Man City their second league win of 2015, while Birmingham remain winless so far, along with bottom-club Bristol.
Beth Mead's stoppage-time strike moved Sunderland up to third - continuing the Lady Black Cats' impressive start to life in WSL 1 after their promotion last year.
In Brazil especially, they voice fears that the virus is compounding an already difficult situation for the country, and wonder how much worse it will get.
"How will we face this tragic drama in a country that is already going through so many other political and ecological disasters?" asked paediatrician Lina Aparecida Zardo on the Zero Hora newspaper website.
"I feel ashamed and scared to be Brazilian today."
Elton Simoes, writing in O Globo, says: "The carnival country always wanted to be at the centre of global attention. Now it is."
Prominent paper Correio Braziliense worries that "the situation, which is already considered severe, may get much worse, since the proliferation of the mosquito occurs mainly between the months of February and June and the diseases are growing exponentially".
"Brazil lives under the threat of facing a triple epidemic - dengue, chikungunya and Zika - this summer. The figures presented so far are not at all encouraging. Despite the fact that warnings about the risks of the diseases have been made, the number of registered cases are increasing."
Journalist and commentator Ricardo Kotscho, writing for the R7 news portal, asks "Drought, floods, Zika, dengue: what's next?"
In Venezuela, El Nacional newspaper criticises the government for what it says is the mishandling of the outbreak.
"If the calculations of the Venezuelan Society of Public Health are correct and Zika did arrive in Venezuela in July 2015, the health ministry is five months late with its reaction to the epidemic," the paper says in a report entitled "Health Ministry Neither Updating Figures nor Requiring Mandatory Notification of Cases of new Virus".
The paper says that the authorities' reaction is similar to what happened during the spread of the chikungunya virus in 2014.
"A similar situation occurred with chikungunya: four months went by with the epidemic before the decree appeared in the Official Gazette."
Honduran media report health officials as saying there is no need to avoid pregnancy due to the virus.
"While some countries began recommending the prevention of pregnancy because of the growth in cases of Zika, health authorities of Honduras claim that they cannot forbid a couple of conceiving a child," the daily newspaper El Heraldo said.
It quotes Francis Contreras, the Deputy Minister of Health, casting doubt on conclusions that Zika can cause microcephaly.
"Currently there is insufficient information to confirm that Zika virus cause microcephaly, or [nervous system disorder] Guillain-Barre, and for now it is safe to say that there is a relation," he is quoted as saying.
But in El Salvador, as in many other countries across the region, the authorities have suggested that women reconsider plans for pregnancies due to the epidemic, the Salvadoran newspaper La Prensa Grafica reports.
Among other steps to combat the spread of the disease are proposals to change school uniforms for girls.
"We are requesting that school uniforms for girls include pants rather than skirts to cover most of the body," the paper quotes a representative of the health ministry as saying.
It also quotes Roberto Majano, president of the country's Medical Association, who believes that the response to the epidemics has been slow, since from May of last year there was talk in the country about the presence of the virus. The ministry of health denied reports about the circulation of the disease at the time.
"When the Zika virus appeared they did not believe that the virus was here. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) confirmed at the Latin America level that Zika arrived in May, at that time they had to implement an epidemiological barrier to reduce its spread," Majano is quoted as saying.
Teporaca Romero del Hierro, writing in Mexico's El Diario de Chihuahua, comments that: "This virus shows once again that humanity is vulnerable, and isn't prepared for contingencies of this nature, particularly in regions where there is no budget for research"

Walker Greenbank said profits would be 15% below forecasts.
The UK company hopes the majority of printing will resume at its Lancaster fabric factory by the end of April.
Sanderson and Morris & Co, which both date back to the 1860s, sell wallpaper, bed linen, rugs and tableware.
John Sach, chief executive of Walker Greenbank, told the BBC some customer orders would be affected, but it was "too early" to say how many.
He said executives had only been able to start assessing the damage at the factory, which had been hit by 3ft-4ft of water, when the electricity was switched back on last Thursday.
But the impact was softened as December is traditionally the factory's slowest month and not much stock was being stored there, he said.
Most of the fabric printing activity is in October and November as shoppers look to "decorate the house for Christmas", he said.
Analysts had forecast Walker Greenbank, which sells into more than 85 countries, would make pre-tax profits of £8.7m for the year to 31 January.
The company is still in the early stages of assessing the damage to machinery, stock and other business assets at the Standfast & Barracks site.
Walker Greenbank, which is valued at £127m, said its insurance would fully cover the losses and that it expects to recover the profits shortfall.
Sanderson was founded in 1860 as an importer of French wallpapers, while Morris & Co was established a year later by Victorian artist William Morris.
Walker Greenbank also owns furnishing brands Harlequin, Zoffany, Scion and Anthology.
Shares in Walker Greenback fell 4% to £2.03 in early trading.
Storm Desmond led to more than 43,000 homes in Lancashire and Cumbria suffering from power cuts earlier this month, while an estimated 5,200 homes were affected by flooding.
The massed parents were waiting to find out whether their children had got into their primary school of choice.
Competition for school places has become fierce as more mainland Chinese children compete with local residents for places - and families on both sides of the border are finding it stressful.
One Hong Kong mother whose child did not get into her school of choice emerged with her hands covering her face to hide tears.
As local media surrounded her, she crouched down and sobbed uncontrollably.
These images have been playing out in the local press, amid rising grievances among Hong Kong residents over issues linked to the mainland.
The territory is governed under the principle of "one country, two systems", under which Hong Kong retains a high degree of autonomy for 50 years from the British handover. Its social services, amongst other things, are seen as more advanced than on the mainland.
Families along the border have fought in recent years over hospital beds and baby milk formula. Now the shortage of school places is making headlines.
The problem dates from a 2001 court ruling that gives babies born in Hong Kong to mainland mothers the same benefits as local residents.
From around 2006, it became a popular practice for mainland couples to come to the territory for the birth of their children. Since then more than 180,000 children have been born to mainland parents in Hong Kong.
Now many of those children are hitting school age, but the number of school places has not kept pace.
Last year, some 6,800 mainland students crossed the border from the Chinese city of Shenzhen each day to go to school in Hong Kong.
For the 2013-14 school year, the education ministry announced that there were 1,400 more applicants than school spaces available in the north district closest to the border.
"It's a 50% increase from the previous year and the competition is only going to get worse with the influx of mainland Chinese students," said the head of the North District Primary School Heads Association, Chan Siu-hung
To cope with the rising demand, the education bureau has increased class sizes and sent children to other school districts using a computerised system that does not discriminate between children living in Hong Kong or on the mainland.
This angers Hong Kong mother Zoe Pang, who has just found out that her son will now have to take a bus ride of almost an hour to school every day.
"As taxpayers we are paying for mainland Chinese kids to study here for the next nine years but my child can't go to school near home. It's not fair to us," said Ms Pang as she wiped away tears.
Another Hong Kong resident, Chang Liqun, came out feeling lucky that her son had got into her school of choice but she still feels the system needs to be improved.
"I'm not trying to be selfish but I believe that as families who live in Hong Kong we should be given priority. We're not trying to discriminate against mainland mothers but there aren't enough school spaces," she said.
But the mothers from the mainland say their children have rights too.
"Hong Kong's education and other social services are better than mainland China. I chose to give birth here so that my daughter can have a better life," said Shenzhen mother Cao Lulu, 35.
Hong Kong's schools are seen to be based on merit, while in the mainland bribery has crept into the system. Parents also seem to prefer Hong Kong's curriculum, where the English language education is seen as better.
Other families say that having a Hong Kong passport makes it easier for their child to study in Western countries.
A mother from Shenzhen (she would only give her daughter's name and not hers before running off) was one big smile when she found out her daughter had got into her top school choice.
"I'm so happy, thank you," she said, bowing towards reporters. "All of our children are born in Hong Kong so they should be treated as equals."
Increasingly though, the Hong Kong government is under pressure to ensure that local residents have preferential access to the territory's limited resources.
It has already restricted mainland Chinese from buying too much baby milk formula and banned public hospitals from accepting pregnant mainland mothers.
Officials say both measures have been a success.
That gives little comfort to Hong Kong resident Ho Mei Yin. Her six-year-old daughter did not get a place in a school near her home.
The little girl's name is now on a waiting list in case anyone forfeits their place. Ms Ho will find out this month if she is successful.
But even if she jumps this hurdle, Ms Ho believes her child will have to continue competing for resources with other children along the border as she gets older.
The decision means he will step down a year early, but if re-elected he could be in post for a further five years until 2022.
Mr McCluskey said he wanted a show of support from Unite members to vindicate his leadership of the union.
He said: "I intend to submit my record to the vote of Unite members."
Unite's executive council has agreed that his resignation will take effect from 28 April, when the elections for general secretary and the executive council finish.
Mr McCluskey said: "I will remain general secretary until then - after that it is in the hands of the membership."
Unite said the decision would save money: "This will ensure the ballot for executive council members and the ballot for general secretary are conducted simultaneously, minimising the enormous costs caused to the union by the legal requirement to conduct the ballot by post and not by modern voting methods, thereby saving the union in the region of £1m," the union said.
"Following a period of candidate nominations, the ballot for both elections will commence on 27 March 2017, concluding on 28 April 2017."
Mr McCluskey has been the leader of Unite's 1.4 million members since he was first elected in 2010.
His plan could also influence the future of the Labour Party, where he has been a leading supporter of its leader, Jeremy Corbyn, and his anti-austerity politics.
Unite is Labour's biggest doner and provided Mr Corbyn's leadership campaign with cash, manpower and office space for phone bank volunteers.
Len McCluskey's move is a gamble.
He has been a strong supporter of Jeremy Corbyn but some within this industrial union have been concerned by Mr Corbyn's plans to ban fracking, and also by his lukewarm support for new nuclear power.
His equivocal position on renewing the nuclear deterent Trident - as a lifelong anti-nuclear weapons campaigner - has also troubled many who work in the defence sector.
Unite says holding the election for general secretary a year early, at the same time as its internal executive council elections, will save the union up to £1m.
But with turnouts in union leader elections traditionally very low, Mr McCluskey's future now hangs on whether union activists will back him for a third time.
Two early efforts from Varndell gave Wasps the initiative, but Opeti Fonua bundled the ball over in reply as the visitors led 12-5 at the break.
Ashley Johnson and Varndell extended their lead before Chris Elder reduced the arrears on his Premiership debut.
Tries from Sailosi Tagicakibau and Alapati Leiua sealed the victory.
London Welsh were forced into a late change, with Will Robinson replacing Seb Jewell at full-back.
Wasps seized the initiative in the early stages, as good handling down the right saw Varndell cross in the corner and Andy Goode added the extras.
The Exiles lost hooker Koree Britton to the sin-bin and Welsh were then overpowered from a scrum, as Wasps won the ball against the head and Varndell crossed in the corner.
The hosts grew into the game and put Wasps under sustained pressure midway through the first half.
They got their rewards from a five-metre line-out, with the forwards going over and number eight Fonua touching down.
Robinson reduced the deficit to 12-8 after the break, but Wasps then got their third try of the afternoon as Johnson touched down in the left corner from a driving maul and Goode converted.
Varndell completed his hat-trick after collecting Elliot Daly's skilful flicked pass, running down the sideline for his 10th Premiership try of the season.
And although Welsh replied through Elder, Wasps underlined their superiority when Tagicakibau scored.
The visitors ended the game with 14 men as Carlo Festuccia was sent to the sin-bin for a swinging arm, but added their sixth try of the afternoon from the final play, as Leiua touched down and Alex Lozowski converted.
London Welsh head coach Rowland Phillips:
"The score did not reflect our performance in that game, or our contribution to the game.
"I thought, as a team, we were competitive, created opportunities and defended well.
"People will find that hard to believe when you've conceded 40 points, but anyone who watched the game will see we contained whatever Wasps threw at us.
"We didn't get out of the game what we could have. We had opportunities to get more from the game."
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young:
"I suppose at the end of the day we've come away with five points and no injuries, so we are pleased with that.
"We were on a hiding to nothing here really. If you win by a large margin people expect it.
"We scored 40 points, but I still don't think the performance was anywhere near what we'd expect from ourselves.
"Next up we have Exeter, and we all know how well they've been playing. "After that we have Leicester Tigers, so two massive games on the way that could either cement us in the top six or put us under pressure."

These allegations come under the shadow of allegations that police brutality caused the death of Freddie Gray, leading to riots across the city in April.
We asked Sgt Wood, who left the department in 2014, to elaborate a bit more on the allegations in his tweets. The allegations, which have not been independently verified, include officers attacking a woman, defecating in beds and racially targeting suspects.
Baltimore Police say the allegations are "serious and very troubling" and called on Mr Wood to provide full details so they can launch an investigation. Their full response is included at the end of this piece.
WARNING: This piece contains explicit language.
I was a rookie in around 2005. The detective was coming out of the door at the same time. He bumped into her and when she turned, she was like "excuse me". He immediately reached back, smashed her in the face. I'm paraphrasing, but he said "bitch you don't talk to me that way".
I was a rookie, I didn't know anything. I just got scared and got into my car and left.
What was her race?
She was black.
Was that a factor?
I don't know, this officer was such an asshole I'm not sure it would have mattered. To you this is shocking but I don't think a single person that lives in a low income area in any city in America would find that a shocking statement.
I was a rookie again. I got a call on the radio that there was a foot chase, "I got a black male running".
I corner him in an alley, he tried to get away, there is a little bit of a struggle but no big deal. I handcuff him and as he is laying on the ground, the officer that was chasing him comes round the corner.
And with a steel-toed boot, just boom right in the face. His eye instantly swells up and he is hurt pretty good.
This was cowardly but I just went, "What the hell dude?"
I said: "He's your suspect and I'm out of here."
Did you think to report it?
No! That would have been unheard of. Anyone who runs gets beat up. That's common in America. I wasn't putting myself in the victim's shoes, I was thinking this isn't me. This guy is an asshole but this isn't me - I'm out of here.
In around 2008, I ended up being assigned to a plain clothes anti-narcotics unit. We would do big raids around the city, and you would frequently do big raids with people you didn't know.
So we were in a raid [in a suspect's home], and somebody was pissing on a pillow and somebody else was shitting in the corner - and it was just like, what the hell are these guys doing?
In the car the detectives with me were like who the hell does this? Apparently some people did it in the past and it was a throwback to then.
This seems very brazen - you would be leaving a lot of forensic evidence?
Right! I said the same thing. Someone is going to be like someone pissed on my sheet. They are going to be like, [the evidence] it's right there! The detectives said they would just say the canine did it - it's not like someone is going to test it. It's a plausible excuse.
The Wire isn't Baltimore but it's got some dramatically accurate representations. There are a load of officers, and there are a bunch of black guys on the corner and they jump out of there car and search them. And as long as they're cool they say "alright man, get off the corner".
Legally you can't go into their pockets, you can't search them but that happens to everybody. You just grab them and start searching them. I did it, we all do it - it's what police do. Those are all illegal searches.
How frequently did you do it?
I was standing there doing it with everybody else. That's just what you're taught to do. You don't even think - it's what you do.
This was a realisation that I didn't even come to until very recently. So I ended up getting my bachelor's degree when I was in the police department. I started reading things like Freakonomics - things that teach you to think from a critical perspective.
I was a shift commander, and I told the shift that when you go out there doing car stops:
"I don't want to see you stopping an old lady - this is Baltimore! You stop 16-24 year old black males."
Why? Because 16-24 black males are the ones who commit all the crime. It's not until later that you complete the logic circle and realise that black and white [people] have drug possession at the same rate. You are only locking up black guys because they have drugs on them, and then they get in more trouble. We didn't know about the concept of institutional racism.
You left in 2014 - is that common?
Oh it will continue to be common until somebody takes over an agency and says no [to racial profiling].
If the officers are found guilty of Freddie Gray's murder how will the police respond?
I don't think there is [any] chance that they will be happy that a murderer was caught. That seems unfathomable right now. They're gonna feel like their people got railroaded. They're still in us versus them, they don't see Freddie Gray as a human being victim. They see Freddie Gray as a them, as somebody else, a bad guy.
The recent allegations made by Mr Michael Wood are serious and very troubling. The Police Commissioner has made clear that the Baltimore Police Department will never tolerate malicious conduct.
We hope that during his time as both a sworn member and as a sergeant with supervisory obligations, Mr Wood reported these disturbing allegations at the time of their occurrence. If he did not, we strongly encourage him to do so now, so that our Internal Affairs Division can begin an immediate investigation.
In a recently published letter to the Baltimore Sun, the Police Commissioner made clear that his reform efforts remain focused on rooting out the type of conduct that is alleged.
Two goals in three first-half minutes from Aritz Aduriz and Inaki Williams put the hosts in control against the 2016 champions.
Lionel Messi reduced the deficit from a free-kick after the break.
Messi also hit a post in stoppage time after both Raul Garcia and Ander Iturraspe had been shown red.
"We struggled at the start," said Barca boss Luis Enrique.
"In the second half we concentrated more on what we could control, our play, and I think we did enough to deserve more, even taking into account Athletic's numerical disadvantage."
Forwards Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar started the match despite only returning to training on Monday after the winter break.
This is the sixth time Barca and Athletic have been paired together in this competition in nine seasons, including three finals.
No side other than Real Madrid has eliminated Barca from the cup since 2008.
The return leg will be played at the Nou Camp on Wednesday, 11 January.
Bus operator Liberty Bus said its prices are set a year in advance by its supplier so fuel price changes have no direct impact on tickets.
The company would not say when the fuel price was last set, claiming it is commercially sensitive and controlled by parent company HTC Group.
Some petrol stations in Jersey are now selling petrol at 93.9p per litre.
There are two fare bands for travel in Jersey; shorter journeys are £1.30 and longer journeys are £1.80.
The last increase in bus ticket prices was in January 2014, up by 10p per journey and was the first increase in two years.
It's thought the total sum hidden away in low-tax, low-regulation jurisdictions around the world could be $21tn (£13.5tn) - as much as the total annual economic output of the United States and Japan combined.
Barack Obama and other world leaders have vowed to crack down on tax havens. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has pressed for greater transparency about how they operate. The European Commission has called for greater information-sharing about tax deals by EU national governments.
Four experts talk to the BBC World Service Inquiry programme about why, despite this growing opposition, tax havens continue to prosper.
British-born lawyer Anthony Travers moved to the Cayman Islands 40 years ago, and is now chairman of the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange.
"The expression 'tax haven' in relation to the Cayman Islands is hopelessly outmoded.
"The reason why corporations go to the Cayman Islands is not necessarily to avoid tax. [They] will pay taxes in the jurisdictions in which taxes are due to be paid. Corporations, particularly hedge funds, that trade out of the Cayman Islands domicile there for various other reasons relating to quality of the legislation, stability, absence of intrusive regulation.
"This delusion that there's some pot of offshore gold sitting in the Cayman Islands needs to be dealt with comprehensively.
"There is no pot of gold sitting offshore. Monies in Cayman Island hedge funds or private equity vehicles are invested and reinvested and they're certainly not sitting in the Cayman Islands in any way, shape or form.
"Since all this legislation providing transparency was introduced over a decade ago, what we haven't actually seen from the Cayman Islands is any instances of major frauds or tax evasion."
Accountant Richard Murphy founded the Tax Justice Network to campaign against tax havens.
"Tax havens are now serving a different purpose from tax abuse. The tax abuse is to some degree, in some of them certainly, virtually history, and it certainly isn't why large companies are now using them.
"Regulation is still stacking up in favour of large companies hiding away from view in these places, so they can get away, commercially, with lower costs than they could otherwise achieve.
"Let's be clear about what tax havens or secrecy jurisdictions mean when they say they have complied with regulation. The regulation that takes place in a tax haven is different from the regulation that might, for example, take place in the UK or Germany.
"In countries like the UK, if we say something is regulated, it takes place here and is regulated here. The characteristic of a tax haven is the transactions that are recorded there take place elsewhere. That means that whilst the tax havens are very good at regulating what takes place within them, the truth is that almost nothing takes place within them.
"Suppose we have a company that is registered in the Cayman Islands, but which trades in the UK. If the UK wanted to ask a question about that company, first of all it has to find a good reason why it needs the information, and secondly the Cayman Islands have to have a good reason to link that company to the UK.
"But if you're trying to actually open up the fact that there is a trade recorded in Cayman but happening [in the UK], you've got to be able to identify both ends, but the whole structure of it is designed not to. And also Cayman, when it undertakes its regulation, only asks about what happens in Cayman.
"Successive governments have believed it worthwhile for the City of London - and, bluntly, Wall Street - to have the advantage of having part of their activity beyond regulation, so that they could compete in ways which are considered to be innovative and which make money for the world financial markets beyond the regulatory environment.
"It is down to politicians to decide: is that a risk still worth taking? They've got to take on the vested interests in their own jurisdictions, the large companies and so on who still use tax havens."
British opposition MP Margaret Hodge chaired the powerful Public Accounts Committee for five years and highlighted legal tax avoidance. She clashed with many companies including Amazon, Starbucks and Google, whom she accused of using "smoke and mirrors" to avoid paying tax.
"What really amazed me was the resonance this whole agenda has with people wherever they are, whatever their age, whatever their gender, whatever their race, whatever their socio-economic class.
"Everybody thinks it's not fair that they should be paying tax, whilst if you're a very rich individual or if you're a big global international company you get away with finding devices which allow you to aggressively avoid the legitimate payment of taxation. It really has hit a very, very raw nerve."
It emerged that the US company Google was minimising its tax in Britain and other countries by recording most of its foreign sales - and thereby earning almost all its foreign income - in Ireland, then legally channelling it, via the Netherlands, to Bermuda, where very little tax is paid. That was possible, not just because of Bermuda's tax regime but also because of Irish and Dutch regulations which allow profits to leave their shores.
"It's Holland, it's Switzerland, it's increasingly Britain, it's Luxembourg, all these countries believe by offering low tax or the possibility of tax avoidance for global companies, they'll attract more business in.
"My point on that is that they're not really attracting business. People are shifting profits without really bringing businesses in, and therefore the world loses the tax revenue and the only people who gain are the private businesses.
"One of the interesting things that I am told has happened since we started raising these issues and the whole issue went viral, is that tax has become an issue that is discussed at board level, not just as a nuisance, you know, 'how can we minimise the tax we pay?', but as a reputational issue.
"I think the damage that's been done to Starbucks, to Google, to Amazon frightens lots of the directors sitting in board rooms today."
Former philosopher and management consultant Jamie Whyte led New Zealand's free market political party ACT, which failed to gain any seats at the 2014 general election.
"I am a fan of tax havens, because they keep other governments honest. It's a matter of competition. A tax haven basically exploits the fact that many people in other countries want to pay less tax. And if that weren't possible, and if there were no tax havens, there would be far less constraint on how much mainstream governments could tax their population.
"I'm not suggesting it's democratic. But I think it's a very healthy constraint on some of the uglier aspects of democracy. If you found yourself, a Christian, facing a mob in a Middle Eastern country, and you found that you could hide in a church, and for some reason the population still respected the sanctity of the church, and so it was a haven for you, I think you'd be very glad of that church.
"Of course it's not democratic: the mob far outnumbers you. But until quite recently, no theorists of democracy ever believed that it should be untrammelled, that simply because a majority of people want your money they have a right to it. So I celebrate the anti-democratic aspects of tax havens.
"The US has put a lot of pressure on Switzerland recently, They can say: 'If Swiss banks don't give information to the US government about the accounts of Americans with these banks, they will cancel their banking licence in the US'. That's a way of applying an enormous cost to the tax haven.
"That works in the case of Switzerland. It might be much harder to do in the case of Malta or Gibraltar, because that may not cost them that much. I suspect that they'll never be able to eliminate all tax havens. If you drive several countries out of the tax haven business, you make the rewards to the countries that stay in the tax haven business even greater.
"[And the reputational damage argument] really only affects retail companies, Starbucks, Google and the like. They're a fraction of the companies in the world. There are many, many companies - consulting firms, law firms, you name it - who in that sense are under the radar. Nobody in the public has any idea what their tax affairs are."

The firm signed a £200m contract with Lincolnshire Police in 2012, with G4S staff now employed in backroom roles.
John Shaw, from G4S, said it has saved the force £6m a year - and other forces could "easily" make similar savings.
The Police Federation of England and Wales said any changes should "not compromise public safety".
Its chairman Steve White also said any savings would have to be reinvested into policing.
G4S, which faced heavy criticism when soldiers had to be deployed at the London Olympics after the firm admitted it could not fulfil its security contract, signed a 10-year deal with Lincolnshire Police in 2012.
Its staff are employed in police control rooms, custody suites, in areas of firearms licensing, as well as in financial, HR and technology roles.
Mr Shaw, the firm's managing director for public services, said the model in Lincolnshire could be replicated elsewhere, potentially saving £1bn a year across all 43 forces.
By Danny Shaw, BBC home affairs correspondent
Even if John Shaw is only half right the savings police could make from running their back and middle offices more efficiently would still amount to £500m - a colossal sum.
So why haven't more forces explored the approach he suggests?
Partly it's because some constabularies have an institutional distrust of the private sector, made more acute by G4S's security failings during the Olympics.
It's also perhaps due to the risk-averse nature of some forces: radical change is not in their DNA.
And it's down to this stark truth: changing the way police support services are managed means changing the managers. And, as one wise old policing hand put it, turkeys don't vote for Christmas.
Mr Shaw said: "We save about 22% per year here in Lincolnshire and on an individual force basis we think that similar levels of savings are easily achievable.
"But actually if you combine together you can then make greater savings."
He said there was no "one size fits all" solution, but added that there were "a range of things" you could do with other forces to make savings.
It comes as three police forces in the East Midlands - Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire - have asked G4S to carry out a feasibility study about the outsourcing of their control rooms.
Sara Thornton, the National Police Chiefs' Council chairman, said police budget cuts meant forces were having to make "fundamental changes".
Some forces are already using private sector support while others "are considering it", she added.
But she said decisions about how to meet those targets would be taken "at local level" by chief constables and police and crime commissioners.
Police Federation chairman Mr White said: "Privatisation may be working well in some force areas but there is not a one size fits all solution.
"There is much to consider, not least varying force structures and accountability, but there needs to be a balance when considering private sector involvement.
"We are not averse to exploring greater efficiencies, as long as it does not compromise public safety and if any savings made are retained by the service to invest back into policing."
Former chief constable Peter Neyroud said you could not just "drag and drop" such a model on all police forces.
The former head of the National Policing Improvement Agency said he was cautious about "extrapolating too much from Lincolnshire example".
At the end of 2013 politicians voted to make money available to build a new hospital as the existing site was considered outdated.
Health Minister, Senator Andrew Green, said four sites were on the shortlist.
He said it was a complicated process but a final decision on a site in St Helier had not yet been made.
A Freedom of Information (FOI) request revealed that £2.2m had been spent so far with the bulk, £1.17m spent this year.
The money was spent on working with external suppliers as well as paying staff, overheads and administration.
£2,209,547
Total cost so far since 2011
£220,708 in 2012
£413,485 in 2013
£396,160 in 2014
£1,179,220 so far in 2015
A new site for the hospital has been discussed for years, with more than 50 sites considered by officials.
Earlier in 2015, Mr Green rejected a previously proposed two-site hospital, saying it should all be on a single site.
The four locations under consideration are the current hospital site, the Overdale hospital site, People's Park and the St Helier Waterfront.
The health authority has argued the existing hospital building is out of date, and needs to be replaced.
About £300m has been made available for the redevelopment of the hospital, which is expected to include building costs and new equipment.
People living in Lindfield, near Haywards Heath, want width and weight limits banning the heaviest vehicles from travelling through the village.
They say new building developments around Mid Sussex have led to a big rise in through-traffic.
West Sussex County Council has promised to look into their demands.
More than 1,000 people have so far signed a petition launched by Lindfield Preservation Society, calling for a ban on lorries over 7.5 tonnes travelling through the village high street, which is in a conservation area and has more than 90 listed buildings.
The society says a number of "ancient and fragile" buildings, which stand just a few feet from the narrow road, are at risk from the vibration caused by the volume and intensity of heavy traffic.
And they say theirs is the only village of its size in the district not protected by a lorry ban.
A county council spokesman said: "The issue has arisen following a planning application in East Sussex, that we had no input to, regarding material being transported to a site, and they are not permitted to use a certain route in East Sussex, so are using West Sussex B roads instead.
"We have committed to undertaking a survey of traffic movements through Lindfield, which will assess how many HGVs are involved before considering the matter further."
One of the Higher English papers was replaced weeks before the exam amid concerns it may have been leaked.
A teacher involved in setting the paper may have given their students too much information, BBC Scotland understands.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) said it was carrying out a full investigation.
It compiled a replacement paper as a precaution.
The replacement was sent to schools and exam centres a week before the exam earlier this month. It was compiled much more quickly than usual to meet the urgent deadline.
The SQA gave little information about the specific circumstances which led to the emergency.
The exams body said "unusual" and external" circumstances were to blame.
But BBC Scotland understands the focus is on a teacher who played a part in setting the original paper.
It is alleged the teacher suggested to students what topics might come up in the exam and the kind of answers they could give.
The concern was these students could have been unfairly advantaged or may have spread the information - either personally or on social media.
A spokesperson for SQA said: "We are continuing to conduct a detailed review of the circumstances around this year's Higher English examination and it would be inappropriate to comment further until that process has been completed."
There is no suggestion that any member of SQA staff, nor any external contractor such as the printers, acted irresponsibly.
Nor is there any suggestion that anybody at either the school concerned, or any other school, who had responsibility for looking after the exam papers, was in the wrong.
The issue was a concern that the content of the exam - as opposed to the paper itself - could have become known to candidates.
BBC Scotland revealed two days before the exam a replacement for one of the two papers had been sent out the week before.
The problem had come to the SQA's attention a few weeks earlier. Although the new paper had to be compiled quickly, the organisation said it always produces more material than is actually needed.
Generally, one person at each school or exam centre takes responsibility for all the exam papers and makes sure they are safely and securely stored until they are needed.
Teachers do not get to see exams beforehand.
The Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust board voted unanimously to close beds in Bideford and Ilfracombe in plans to cut beds in the area from 74 to 40.
Campaigners supporting keeping the beds open have criticised the move.
Beds at Holsworthy and South Molton are to stay open. The trust said it wanted to use more home-based care, which it said was "as good as, if not better than" community hospital treatment.
The board made the decision following a six-week public consultation.
Board chairman Roger French said the "best decision" was to leave beds in Holsworthy and South Molton because they "served large, rural and dispersed populations. They also have the most modern buildings and do not struggle to fill staff vacancies."
GPs had sent a letter criticising the proposals, saying the planned closures had caused "grave concern over patient safety".
Campaigner Trisha Martin, who was at the meeting, said: "I think it's a very, very sad day for the whole of the community in north Devon.
"We depend on having places to go to recuperate after crises and having to be in acute care, and now those places are being removed."
Trust chief executive Dr Alison Diamond said: "Providing more care to people in their own homes is a model which is tried and tested and has proved to be safe and successful across Devon."
Instead, a report from the Global Council on Brain Health recommends that people engage in stimulating activities such as learning a musical instrument, designing a quilt or gardening.
It said the younger a person started these activities, the better their brain function would be as they aged.
Age UK said it was never too late to learn something new.
The council - which is a collaboration of international scientists, health professionals and policy experts - has produced a report on the best ways to stimulate the brain and reduce cognitive decline.
It said that although many people thought playing online games, such as puzzles and mind games, designed to improve brain health was important, the evidence regarding the benefits was "weak to non-existent".
"If people play a 'brain game', they may get better at that game, but improvements in game performance have not yet been shown to convincingly result in improvements in people's daily cognitive abilities," the report said.
For example, there was no evidence that playing sudoku would help you manage your finances any better, it added.
The report recommends seeking out new activities that challenge the way you think and are socially engaging, while leading a healthy lifestyle.
Examples include:
James Goodwin, chief scientist at Age UK, which helped set up the Global Council on Brain Health, said brain decline was not inevitable.
He said: "There are plenty of activities that we can start today that can provide benefits for brain health, if they are new to you and require your concentrated attention.
"They may even be activities that you do regularly in your life, such as playing with grandchildren, gardening or playing cards.
"Even though it's never too late to learn something new, the overwhelming message from this report is that you shouldn't wait until later life to try to maintain your brain health."
The decision means prior recorded witness statements cannot be used by prosecutors at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in this case.
Key witnesses in the case changed their statements, which prosecutors said was due to intimidation and bribery.
Mr Ruto, who is being tried over unrest that followed 2007 elections, denies charges of crimes against humanity.
About 1,200 people were killed in the violence.
The latest ruling overturns a previous decision by judges to allow five of the witnesses' original statements to be included because they were convinced the witnesses had been interfered with.
Whichever way you look at it, this is a blow to the prosecution. It means they have lost evidence from five key witnesses.
However, the precise impact is hard to judge because so many of these hearings have been held in private session.
It partly depends on what else the prosecution has. If the prosecution doesn't have sufficient evidence this could go the same way as the case against President Uhuru Kenyatta and the charges may be thrown out of court.
The ICC is already considering a motion of no case to answer from Mr Ruto's lawyers.
That argument was heard in January and today's decision could have a bearing on it.
This use of prior testimony falls under Rule 68 of the Rome Statute, which set up the ICC.
But William Ruto's defence team argued this was unfair because changes to the rule were brought in after the case against him and his fellow defendant, the journalist Joshua arap Sang, had started.
"The prior-recorded testimony was delivered without an opportunity for the accused to cross-examine the witnesses," said presiding judge Piotr Hofmanski.
Mr Sang, who is accused of using his radio show to organise attacks in the election aftermath, said the decision was "one step to our freedom".
Mr Ruto is one of the most senior government officials to be tried by The Hague-based court since its formation more than a decade ago.
In 2014, the ICC dropped similar charges against Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, alleging that witnesses had been intimidated to make them change their testimony.
Mr Ruto and Mr Kenyatta were on opposite sides of the 2007 election, but formed an alliance that won the 2013 election.
The names of key suspects involved in the violence were handed over to the ICC by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, who brokered a power-sharing deal in Kenya in 2008.
Mr Annan's move came after Kenyan politicians failed to set up a tribunal for those accused of instigating the attacks.
In January 2015, a key witness for Mr Ruto was found dead in Kenya after reportedly being abducted a few days earlier.
The ICC said Meshack Yebei had been offered protection in a safe location but had returned home.
Some 600,000 people fled their homes in the 2007 conflict - the worst in Kenya since independence.
Samia Shahid, 28, from Bradford, died in Pakistan in July. Her father and first husband have been held in connection with her death.
Her mother, Imtiaz BiBi, and sister, Madiha Shahid have been declared proclaimed offenders in Pakistan.
A judge issued arrest warrants when they did not appear in court earlier.
Declaring the women proclaimed offenders means the police believe they were involved in Ms Shahid's death and wish to question them.
Both her father and first husband appeared at the court hearing in Jhelum, in the northern Punjab province, where the case was adjourned until 11 November.
Chaudhry Muhammad Shakeel is accused of her murder while her father Chaudhry Muhammad Shahid is being held as a suspected accessory.
Neither have been formally charged but their lawyers have previously argued there is no evidence against them.
The men's legal team asked the court to wait for the High Court in Lahore to decide on a petition lodged by Ms Shahid's second husband, Syed Mukhtar Kazim, for the case to be moved from Jhelum.
The High Court is expected to rule on that petition on 24 November but the judge in Jhelum said the court would continue to pursue the matter as no order to stay proceedings had been received.
Ms Shahid, a beautician, married Mr Kazim in Leeds in 2014 and the couple moved to Dubai.
Mr Kazim has claimed his wife, who died while visiting relatives in Pakistan, was killed because her family disapproved of their marriage.
Initially it was claimed she had died of a heart attack but a post-mortem examination confirmed she had been strangled.
The claim: The High Court ruling that the government cannot use prerogative powers to trigger Article 50 could scupper Brexit.
Reality check verdict: The process of obtaining parliamentary approval may delay or complicate the process but it is hard to imagine that Parliament could ignore the outcome of the referendum.
The ruling was made by two of the UK's most senior judges, the Lord Chief Justice and the Master of the Rolls and another experienced colleague, Lord Justice Sales. The government is appealing to the Supreme Court, which will hear the case in early December.
Dominic Raab, a Conservative MP who sits on the Committee on exiting the European Union, told BBC News: "A lot of people... will be shocked to see a very small group of people go to court and effectively seek the form of redress, which could end up scuppering a referendum."
He later went on to say that he did not think the ruling would stop Brexit happening.
The government currently plans to trigger Article 50 in March 2017 and this timetable may be threatened.
If the Supreme Court rules in late December or January that the approval of Parliament is needed then it would be more difficult for that to happen in time for March.
But prominent Leave campaigner Iain Duncan Smith told BBC News: "I don't think this affects the timetable at all."
However, he did warn that it opened the possibility of Parliament voting against Article 50 being triggered, causing a constitutional crisis.
The High Court did not specify what form the approval of Parliament has to take but there is broad consensus that it would have to be an Act of Parliament.
Passing that legislation could be complicated and time-consuming because it would require there to be debates in the House of Commons and the House of Lords, allowing there to be amendments tabled that could, for example, limit the government's freedom in negotiations about the UK's future relationship with the EU.
It is possible that this could delay the triggering of Article 50 beyond March, but could it scupper Brexit altogether?
If all the MPs voted in the way that they campaigned in the referendum then there would be a Commons majority for staying in the EU, but it is enormously unlikely that they would decide to ignore the outcome of the referendum.
Labour's shadow secretary for exiting the European Union, Keir Starmer, was very clear in telling BBC News: "We accept and respect the outcome of the referendum."
But he added that the court ruling should force the government to set out the outline principles on which it would be negotiating. | Dundalk made history as a late equaliser saw them hold AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League to become the first Irish team to pick up a European point.

Two of those infected have died but have been described as having died of "underlying conditions".
There have been another 14 cases, with patients being kept in isolation.
NHS Lothian has said all wards at the hospital remain open and infection prevention and control procedures have been reinforced.
The health board said test are being carried out to see if any of the identified cases are linked.
NHS Lothian Executive Nurse Director Melanie Johnson said: "We have identified a cluster of C diff at the hospital and an investigation is ongoing to establish if there is a link between the cases.
"As is usual practice, we isolate symptomatic patients, emphasise the importance of infection control precautions and undertake additional cleaning. We always act as if cases are linked and implement action to prevent cross transmission.
"Our robust surveillance procedures meant that we were able to identify these cases quickly and take the appropriate action."
Without Olympic champions Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford and Jessica Ennis-Hill, Britain won a silver and two bronze.
Long jumper Dan Bramble finished sixth on Sunday, as did Stephanie Twell and Lee Emanuel in their 3,000m events.
"There were more medal hopes so three might be seen as disappointing," said BBC Sport pundit Steve Cram.
Eighteen-year-old Ethiopian Yomif Kejelcha (7min 57.21secs) showed he will be a threat to Farah at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, racing clear to win the 3,000m from surprise silver medallist Ryan Hill of the United States, with Emmanuel (8:00.70) never nearer than at the end.
In her event, Twell kept pace well and was still in medal contention with four laps remaining.
Ethiopian Genzebe Dibaba (8:47.43) was too good though and she eventually finished almost seven seconds clear of the field to win gold.
Isobel Pooley finished 10th in the high jump, clearing 1.89m, whilst Chris O'Hare finished eighth in the 1500m.
Britain finished 16th in the overall medal table, compared to fourth two years ago.
Only one medal came on the track, through Tiffany Porter in the 60m.
Lorraine Ugen finished third in the long jump, with Robbie Grabarz winning Britain's only silver in the high jump.
Bramble, 25, produced an indoor personal best of 7.14m in the long jump and Ennis-Hill's coach Tony Minichello joked: "We look like we are a jumping nation. A nation of kangaroos."
The host nation won exactly half of the 26 gold medals on offer - Ethiopia were the only other country that won more than one.
The US won four golds on the final night of competition, including both 4x400m relays in world best times for 2016.
The hosts were helped in the men's race when a highly-fancied Belgium quartet dropped the baton and eventually finished last.
The collision happened shortly before 18:45 BST on Saturday in London Road.
Kent Police said a car - believed to be a black Vauxhall Astra - hit the man but failed to stop. It was later found abandoned in Grange Road.
The man suffered serious injuries and was taken to a London Hospital where he remains in a "critical but stable" condition.
Police have appealed for witnesses.
A military source told the Yonhap news agency every part of Pyongyang "will be completely destroyed by ballistic missiles and high-explosives shells".
Yonhap has close ties to South Korea's government and is publicly funded.
On Friday North Korea carried out what it said was its fifth, and largest, nuclear test.
The international community is considering its response.
The US says it is considering its own sanctions, in addition to any imposed by the UN Security Council, Japan and South Korea.
Pyongyang responded on Sunday by calling the threats of "meaningless sanctions... highly laughable".
The South Korean military official told Yonhap that Pyongyang districts thought to be hiding the North's leadership would be particularly targeted in any attack. The city, the source said, "will be reduced to ashes and removed from the map".
The BBC's Korea correspondent Steve Evans says the South is using the same bloodcurdling rhetoric that the North frequently uses about the South Korean government in Seoul.
He says there has been rising criticism within South Korea of the government as its attempts to isolate the North have failed to deter leader Kim Jong-un's nuclear ambitions.
News of South Korea's attack plan for the North is believed to have been revealed to parliament following Friday's nuclear test.
Meanwhile, the US's special envoy for North Korea says Washington is considering taking unilateral action against Pyongyang.
"North Korea continues to present a growing threat to the region, to our allies, to ourselves, and we will do everything possible to defend against that growing threat," Sung Kim said.
"In addition to sanctions in the Security Council, both the US and Japan, together with [South Korea], will be looking at any unilateral measures as well as bilateral measures as well as possible trilateral cooperation."
North Korea is banned by the UN from any tests of nuclear or missile technology and has been hit by five sets of UN sanctions since its first test in 2006.
The North said Friday's test had been of a "nuclear warhead that has been standardised to be able to be mounted on strategic ballistic rockets".
Estimates of the explosive yield of the latest blast have varied. South Korea's military said it was about 10 kilotonnes, enough to make it the North's "strongest nuclear test ever". Other experts say initial indications suggest 20 kilotonnes or more.
The nuclear bomb dropped by the US on Hiroshima in 1945 had a yield of about 15 kilotonnes.
Cecilia Burns, 51, from Strabane, County Tyrone, had started a campaign in February to have the decision overturned.
Ms Burns had her benefits cut after she was assessed by government contractor Atos Healthcare.
She had her benefits reinstated just a few weeks ago but died on Monday.
During her campaign the County Tyrone woman said she was "disgusted" after the government cut her sickness benefit and told her she was fit to work.
Cecilia Burns had her Employment Support Allowance reduced by £30 a week even though she was still undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
Ms Burns had described the medical test as a "joke".
The government is seeking to reassess all 2.6 million people on incapacity benefit - and its successor employment support allowance (ESA) - by 2014 in an effort to encourage more people back to work and to cut the welfare bill.
Stormont Assembly MLA, Michaela Boyle, had helped Ms Burns in her campaign.
"I have known Cecilia since she went for her medical assessment. She received nil points and appealed that assessment."
Ms Boyle is critical of the assessment process.
"Our office has been dealing with the fall-out of this on a daily basis and that is mainly with the flaws. A lot of MLAs will be facing the wrath of this.
"We have been deeply critical of all aspects of the decision-making process with many claimants being disallowed who have severe disabilities, chronic conditions and life limiting illnesses.
"We have questioned the objectivity of these decisions given that a large number of these decisions are being overturned at appeal stage.
"At 60% of these appeals, the claimant had been awarded nil points in assessment."
Last week Atos said they would be reviewing their correspondence with claimants after they incorrectly told one woman that assessors were not required to be specifically trained in mental health.
Later on Friday, Disabled People Against Cuts and UK Uncut will protest outside Atos headquarters in London to coincide with the Paralympics.
Before her death, Cecilia Burns told the BBC that dealing with the side effects of the treatment were bad enough, but she had been angered by the cut in benefit after she went for a medical.
"I know there's other people out there and they're all scared to come forward," she said.
"I was treated badly. I've been working since I was 17, I've paid all my stamps, all my National Insurance. The only time I was ever sick was when I was pregnant with my two sons.
"It has had a financial effect on me but it's more (that) they're getting away with it. They are just treating you like a second class citizen. That's how I feel - that I don't count, I don't matter," she said.
In a statement Atos said; "We do not make decisions on people's benefit entitlement or on welfare policy but we will continue to make sure that the service that we provide is as highly professional and compassionate as it can be.
"We do this through a constant programme of training and education for our staff, a rigorous recruitment process for healthcare professionals and through continual work with the Government, disability rights groups, healthcare professionals and those going through the process on the ground."
Meanwhile, in Northern Ireland, Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland has organised a public consultation on the changes.
He said said during previous stages of the review, the public response was limited and it was important that people got across their views.
Luton saw house prices rise 19.4% in 2016, the Halifax said.
Annual house price inflation ticked up again last month across the UK, the lender said, with prices rising by 6.5% in the year to the end of December.
That was up from a rate of 6.0% in November and 5.2% in October.
Between March and October 2016, inflation had been easing.
The latest increase leaves the average UK house price at £222,484, according to the Halifax, another record level.
"House prices finished 2016 strongly," said Martin Ellis, Halifax chief economist.
However, he said house price inflation was expected to cool in 2017, to between 1% and 4%.
"Slower economic growth, pressure on employment and a squeeze on spending power, together with affordability constraints, are expected to reduce housing demand during 2017," Mr Ellis said.
Earlier this month the Nationwide said that house prices increased by 4.5% in 2016, the same rate as 2015.
The average house in Luton increased in price by £41,700 during 2016, to £256,636.
The Halifax said the main reason was that the town is within easy commuting distance of London, but still has relatively low property prices.
Dunstable, a few miles away, saw prices rise by 17.9% during the year.

Dáithí O'Ceallaigh told BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Business programme the relationship built up between London and Dublin could be put in jeopardy.
"It is very dangerous territory," he said.
"For the relationship between Britain and Ireland it is worrisome."
He added: "Within the framework of the European Union over the last 40 years we have built up a very close relationship with the United Kingdom in trade, in agriculture, but most importantly in working together to try and help the situation in Northern Ireland.
"All of these things are in danger of unravelling."

Ivy Atkin, 86, died in November 2012 days after she was moved out of the Autumn Grange care home in Nottingham.
The care home company, Sherwood Rise Limited, also faces a charge of corporate manslaughter - the first case of its kind in England and Wales.
The two men and a woman have been bailed and will appear at Nottingham Crown Court next month.
Yousef Khan, 46, from Nelson Road, Nottingham, Mohammed Khan, 38, from Zulla Road, Nottingham and Naseen Kiani, 53, from Whirlow Grange Drive, Sheffield, made their first appearance at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
They jointly owned Sherwood Rise Limited, which was accused of failing to provide Mrs Atkin with adequate food and drinks and check she was taking fluids.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed it was the first care home company to be charged under the Corporate Manslaughter Act.
The act came into force in 2008 to clarify the criminal liabilities of companies where serious failures in health and safety result in a death.
The 35-year-old midfielder suffered the injury during Friday's 2-2 draw with Croatia, and national team doctors say he will play no further part in France.
Czech Republic next play Turkey on Tuesday, and a win could see them secure second and a spot in the knockout stage on goal difference.
For that to happen, Croatia would also have to lose to Group D leaders Spain.
However, third place may also be good enough for Czech Republic to make the next round, as the four best third-placed teams across the six groups teams also advance.
The Public Accounts Committee says the sector was expanded "without sufficient regulation".
The PAC says that almost £4m went to ineligible foreign students.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) says alternative providers play a "significant role in widening access to education".
Approximately 140 institutions offering higher education are termed "alternative providers".
They include, for example, BPP University which is a highly regarded college offering routes into careers in accountancy and law, and the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, which teaches a bachelor's degree in acupuncture.
Some are private companies run for profit, others have charitable status.
They do not receive government grants directly, but can access public funding through student loans, which are used to pay their fees.
The PAC describes the growth in the sector as "substantial and rapid".
Between 2010 and 2014 the number of students claiming support for courses at alternative providers rose from 7,000 to 53,000.
Over the same period, the total amount of public money paid to students at alternative providers, through tuition-fee loans and maintenance loans and grants, rose from about £50m to £675m.
Of the publicly funded students attending these colleges, 40% are from other EU countries, compared with 6% in the rest of the higher education sector.
Margaret Hodge, who chairs the PAC, said the department had "ignored repeated warnings about the potential waste and abuse of public money intended to support legitimate students and institutions" since it had started the expansion in the sector.
"The department pressed ahead with the expansion of the alternative provider sector without sufficient regulation in place to protect public money," she said.
"The department was explicitly warned by the Higher Education Funding Council for England and the Universities and College Union about these risks, but chose to disregard them both before and after implementation.
"As a result of its lax approach, the department allowed £3.84m of public money to be given to ineligible EU students in the form of student loans and grants, where EU students had either chosen not to or had been unable to prove that they met eligibility criteria on residency."
Mrs Hodge added that the department had been "unable to quantify" the money lost when it funded students who had failed to attend or complete courses, and that it had been "slow to react to obvious red flags".
She also said the committee had been given evidence suggesting that proficiency in English language had not been tested.
A BIS representative insisted alternative providers widened access to higher education for British students and boosted exports.
"Our priority is to protect the interest of students and safeguard taxpayer's money," the spokesman said.
"We have made continuous improvements to the management of alternative providers since 2012.
"We recently introduced reforms to drive up quality, aimed at the small number of providers who are not currently meeting our high standards.
"These include a fit-and-proper persons test for directors and a requirement to register students for the course before they can access funding.
"We are also shortly consulting on how to ensure that all students on funded courses have the right English language skills to achieve their qualifications", he added.
The UCU lecturers union said the Public Accounts Committee had clearly been "as shocked as we were over the government's refusal to heed our warnings".
The union's general secretary, Sally Hunt, said the government had "serious questions to answer about why it ignored these repeated warnings and why it allowed such rapid expansion to go unchecked".
Prof Aldwyn Cooper, who chairs the Independent Universities Group, which represents a group of alternative HE providers, said it was important to remember many offered "a first rate higher education".
"The members of the Independent Universities Group have undergone stringent quality reviews in order to gain their own degree-awarding powers and provide excellent student outcomes," he said.
"These institutions offer first rate value for money, employability and student experience.
"They receive no direct funding from government and are careful to ensure that they are fully compliant with the expectations of the department and the Student Loans Company.
"Poor quality should not be tolerated - it drains the public purse and risks tarnishing the UK higher education brand."
Liam Byrne, the shadow universities minister, said the PAC's findings were "yet more evidence of the mess the government has made of the student finances".
"These findings show the staggering way the Tory-led government has wasted hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers' money, handed over to private providers without proper safeguards or controls," he said.
"Ministers completely ignored and disregarded repeated warnings on the potential for waste and abuse, and they now have serious questions to answer on the way funding for private providers has been so badly mismanaged at the taxpayer's expense."
Beyake Keita Ann, 21, died in hospital three weeks after he was injured in Attock Park, Bradford, on 23 August.
Two men, aged 20 and 26, have been arrested on suspicion of murder. A third man, aged 21, has been re-arrested for the same offence.
Six other men, aged between 17 and 32, are on bail and three more have been released without charge.　
Mr Keita Ann had gone to the park in the Laisterdyke area of the city to play football when an argument started and players were attacked.
Det Ch Insp Ian Scott, from West Yorkshire Police, said: "Beyake was sat to the side of the pitch, not involved in this disorder in any shape or form.
"He was brutally attacked, being struck around the head causing fatal injuries."
His family paid tribute to a "gentle, quiet and happy boy" who came to England in May to "find a better life for himself".
James will swap with Scott Mills, who has been presenting the slot since 2004. Mills will now front the lunchtime show from 13:00-16:00.
T4 host Jameela Jamil and 1Xtra's Gemma Cairney will also join the station.
Radio 1 boss Ben Cooper said the changes were aimed at attracting younger listeners.
In recent years the BBC Trust has called for the station to refocus towards a younger audience.
Radio 1's target audience, as set by the trust'sservice licence, is aged between 15 and 29. But the official average age of a Radio 1 listener has risen from 29 to 32 in the past three years.
It is thought James' new role will put the 26-year-old in line to eventually replace Chris Moyles, 38, as the station's flagship breakfast DJ when his contract ends in 2013.
New signing Jamil will host the Radio 1 Request Show which will be now broadcast on Sundays from 19:00-21:00.
Cairney will move from Radio 1's digital sister station 1Xtra, taking over Edith Bowman's weekend breakfast show.
Bowman will move to a midweek slot, fronting Radio 1's Review Show on Tuesdays from 21:00-22:00, resulting in her on-air time being cut from six hours to one.
"These are exciting times at Radio 1 & 1Xtra," Cooper said.
"The latest changes are about attracting even more young listeners by bringing in new and fresh talent to the stations."
The moves come nearly three months after Radio 1 announced changes to its dance music schedule, which will also see long-time presenters Judge Jules and Gilles Peterson leave the station in favour of younger, new talent.
Last year, meanwhile, long-serving presenter Jo Whiley moved to Radio 2, with new music champion Huw Stephens claiming her slot in the weekend schedule.
The new schedule will begin from Monday, 2 April.
Some 24,000 children in 267 schools took the NI Numeracy Assessment (NINA) and NI Literacy Assessment (NILA) tests in 2016/17.
However, 17,000 pupils who took last autumn's maths tests initially received lower scores than they achieved.
The Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) apologised "unreservedly".
The tests are used to assess maths skills and the progress of pupils in P4 to P7.
Paying for them cost CCEA about £400,000 per year.
In a letter to schools who used the tests, the Department of Education said the minister had decided that "the existing contracts for NINA and NILA should not be renewed".
The letter, dated 17 January, also said that CCEA would not be asked to develop a replacement for the tests.
"The minister is fully aware of the challenging financial position facing schools this year and looking likely to continue in future years," the letter said.
"He could not justify extending the contract beyond the 2016/17 academic year."
The letter also said the education sector was facing "considerable financial constraints".
Both the computer-based NINA and the NILA tests were the subject of a critical Department of Education review in 2014, following widespread technical problems experienced by pupils taking the tests.
Following that, the then education minister John O'Dowd said the tests were not mandatory for schools.
However, about a third of primary schools still used them to assess the performance and skills of pupils in English and maths.
The royals were shown around the set of the new Star Wars film on Tuesday afternoon.
During their visit they met actors Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill and John Boyega, who are currently filming Star Wars: Episode VIII.
Kensington Palace said the visit was planned to celebrate Star Wars' "fantastic British creative talent".
British talent featured both in front of and behind the cameras in 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which saw Ridley and John Boyega play the central characters Rey and Finn.
British locations also featured in the film, with director JJ Abrams shooting exterior scenes on Greenham Common, in the Lake District and Scotland.
All seven Star Wars films have included shoots at British studios, with Ealing, Elstree, Leavesden and Shepperton Studios variously being used for Episodes I to VI.
The next Star Wars release, stand-alone film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, also used Pinewood Studios and other locations around the country.
Following the release of that film's trailer, it was revealed one scene was filmed on the Jubilee Line platform of the Canary Wharf London Underground station.
Star Wars: Episode VIII will be released in December 2017.
The Duke of Cambridge joked he could not stop stroking Chewbacca's head during the visit.
R2-D2 was on display during the visit as was the BB-8 droid from The Force Awakens.
The seventh instalment of the franchise also saw the return of original cast members Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher and was the highest grossing film of all time in the UK.
Visitors who want to eat their own food have been told to eat it at a picnic site outside before entering the theme park.
Admission staff have begun checking visitors' bags for sandwiches and recommending restaurants on site.
More than six million people a year visit the attraction, which charges £86 for an all-day family ticket.
A section of the park's website said: "We do not allow people to picnic within the park.
"Pleasure Beach is experiencing a growing problem with visitors using our restaurants' tables to eat food they have brought in themselves.
"In order to alleviate this, it is our aim to stop people with excessive food from setting up a full meal."
Blackpool Pleasure Beach said that allowances are made for guests with special dietary requirements and dedicated picnic areas are also provided for school parties which book in advance.
Councillor Fred Jackson, deputy Labour leader on Blackpool Council said: "I think it's very sad.
"It's not a family-friendly policy, which is a shame because we all want Blackpool to be family-oriented.
"When our children were younger we couldn't afford to eat in cafes and always had picnics - and there are plenty of people in that position today.
"I would like the Pleasure Beach to reverse that decision."
Blackpool Zoo and Camelot at nearby Chorley both allow picnics to be brought in, in common with other attractions including Alton Towers and Thorpe Park.
It was first proposed in February when First Minister Arlene Foster asked the then Health Minister Simon Hamilton to set up a working group.
In a written answer to Sinn Féin MLA Catherine Seeley, the Justice Minister Claire Sudgen said she had met the Health Minister Michelle O'Neill.
They agreed the establishment of the interdepartmental working group.
The group met on Thursday, 14 July.
The group is expected to report to both ministers by the end of September.
The bitter recriminations will now begin everywhere, and the Tory HQ in Cardiff will be no exception.
They made great play of Theresa May campaigning in Labour-held target seats in Bridgend, Wrexham and Clwyd South, and in the end they did not seriously challenge in any of them.
With hindsight, Mrs May would have been better off shoring up support in Cardiff North, Gower and Vale of Clwyd.
So what went wrong? Did they run a terrible campaign?
Was it a victory of hope over fear, as Jeremy Corbyn would have us believe, or did the country send a signal to Downing Street that it wanted a softer Brexit?
There were local problems with the campaign that will be magnified by the success of their counterparts in Scotland.
That is a problem Plaid Cymru will be able to tell them all about.
Ruth Davidson is the unmistakeable leader of the Scottish party there while the Welsh Tories had three different men in three different debates.
Sources tell me the Welsh-dimension to the campaign was non-existent.
That said, there were times when it just felt that the Conservatives in Wales were being steam-rollered by a tidal wave of red which may have been impossible to stop no matter what was done differently at a local level.

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

The Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) said growing use of new psychoactive substances (NPS) and low staff levels had created a volatile environment.
The report said: "The increased availability of NPS in prison has led to some episodes of protracted rage."
The Prison Service said it had taken a number of steps to address concerns.
The report - which covers from August 2015 until July 2016 - stated staff were "overwhelmed" and "reluctant" to assert their authority.
This created "strained relationships" between staff and inmates, leading to fights and injuries on both sides, the IMB found.
Mark Fairhurst, from the Prison Officers' Association (POA), said: "There's a lack of experience to guide them, there's no managerial presence because of the pressures our POA members face."
He added that since 2010, the service had shed 7,000 officers. Staff retention was also problematic as officers were left facing violent situations without any support, he said.
POA members went on strike earlier this month in protest over staffing level concerns and the nationwide surge in prison violence.
The Prison Service spokesman said: "HMP Bristol has taken a number of steps to address the concerns raised by the Independent Monitoring Board, including refresher courses and new training for staff.
"The prison is also working to recruit new staff and anticipates being fully staffed early next year."
It added that an extra 2,500 extra frontline prison officers were being brought in to reduce violence and tackle use of drugs, drones and mobile phones.
In May, the chief inspector of prisons, Peter Clarke, warned synthetic drugs - which were made illegal in the UK in May - were "destabilising" some prisons.
The IMB's report on HMP Bristol described how NPS usage affected inmates there.
It said: "The effects vary greatly from, at one end, unprecedented and unpredictable violence and, at the other, a reduced state of consciousness."
Because this drug use frequently required hospitalisation, it disrupted staff routines and caused high sickness rates; during one week 35 ambulances were called to the prison.
The Isle of Man rider, 29, had slipped four seconds adrift of Germany's John Degenkolb on Friday.
But he claimed 10 bonus seconds in his second stage victory of the four-day event to finish six seconds clear of the German in the final standings.
"To win here is pretty special," said Cavendish. "We rode hard the whole week and today we really had to work. I'm super happy with our lads."
The Etixx-QuickStep rider clocked a time of two hours, 37 minutes and 15 seconds in Saturday's 123-km stage, which finished at the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
He finished just ahead of Team Sky's Elia Viviani and Juan Jose Lobato of Movistar, both of whom recorded the same time as Cavendish.
Degenkolb could only cross the line in ninth.
Cavendish was critical of rival teams at the end of the race, claiming that "most of the days we were the only team riding".
"I was a bit frustrated with the other teams," he added. "They came here but didn't really want to race."
Final overall standings:
1. M Cavendish (GB) (EQS) 15 hours 22 minutes 38 seconds
2. J Degenkolb (Ger) (TGA) @ 0:06
3. JJ Lobato (Sp) (Mov) @ 0:10
4. A Valverde Belmonte (Sp) (Mov) @ 0:12
5. M Canola (It) (UHC) @0:14
6. A Bazzana (Ut) (UHC) @0:17
7. G Bole (Slo) (CCC) @0:18
8. P Gilbert (Bel) (BMC) @0:18
9. M Board (It) (TCS) @0:18

The Rhinos were beaten at home by Wakefield on Monday, having lost at Castleford three days earlier.
"We haven't been good enough and we haven't played well and we have to take it on the chin and deal with it," he told BBC Radio Leeds.
"The mood is good in training despite the poor form and we have to look to ourselves to get out of this."
Brian McDermott's side, who have only won two of their opening eight fixtures, lost just nine of 30 Super League games last season as they won the treble.
Burrow added: "We can't keep saying that we need to get it right next week.
"It's been a tough season and it's just getting worse and worse. We've got no excuses. We just need to get wins."
The Rhinos host 11th-placed Hull KR on Friday.
The bird, thought to be nearly 20 years old, had been guarding her nest of six eggs in Perranporth when she was savaged by a dog, it is believed.
'Mrs Swan' and her mate 'Mr Swan' have been described as 'big friends of the community' and have made national headlines for holding up traffic.
Vets tried to treat her leg wound but she had to be put down on Sunday.
More on 'Mrs Swan' and other Cornwall news
Julian Tredinnick who manages the boating lake where they nest, said reports from vets suggest the bird was attacked by a dog.
"She was sitting quite happily on the nest. The eggs were due to hatch in the next couple of weeks so everyone was all happy and expectant".
Mat Judge, who also works for Perranporth Gardens Charities, which manages the land, said: "She was a big friend of the community and a lot of people are really upset. The male is going to be lost".
He said they were contacting the RSPCA to see if another female could be introduced.
Fe wnaeth ei sylwadau ar ôl teithio i Langennech i gwrdd â rhieni sy'n gwrthwynebu'r cam i droi'r ysgol yn un cyfrwng Gymraeg.
Ym mis Ionawr, pleidleisiodd mwyafrif cynghorwyr Sir Gâr o blaid y newid.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran y cyngor bod y camau statudol wedi'u dilyn a'u bod wedi ymgynghori'n eang cyn dod i'r penderfyniad.
Dywedodd Mr Hamilton ei fod yn cefnogi bwriad Llywodraeth Cymru i gael miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050, ond bod y penderfyniad ar Ysgol Llangennech yn mynd yn erbyn "dymuniadau rhieni".
"Y bobl anoddefgar yn fan hyn yw'r aelodau Plaid Cymru sy'n gorfodi hyn ar bentref sydd ddim am ei weld," meddai Mr Hamilton.
"Fel arweinydd UKIP yn y Senedd dwi wedi bod yn flaenllaw wrth gefnogi camau i hyrwyddo diddordebau'r iaith Gymraeg."
Mynnodd hefyd ei fod yn amddiffyn diddordebau rhieni oedd wedi gweld polisi addysg yn cael ei "osod" arnyn nhw gan gynghorwyr, er bod ymgynghoriad wedi derbyn tua'r un nifer o sylwadau o blaid ac yn erbyn y syniad.
"Os ydyn ni'n ceisio gorfodi'r iaith Gymraeg lawr cyrn gwddf pobl fyddai fel arall am ei gwarchod, ond dydyn nhw ddim ei eisiau ar gyfer eu plant, fyddwn ni ddim yn ennill y frwydr dros feddyliau pobl er mwyn sicrhau bod Cymru'n dod yn wlad ddwyieithog o fewn fy mywyd i," meddai.
Wrth ymateb i sylwadau Mr Hamilton, dywedodd Aelod Cynulliad Plaid Cymru Simon Thomas fod y penderfyniad wedi bod yn un democrataidd.
"Dwi'n meddwl ei bod hi'n anffodus iawn bod UKIP yn trio achosi cynnen rhwng pobl sy'n siarad Cymraeg a Saesneg - mae'r penderfyniad yn Llangennech yn un i'r gymuned leol, yr ysgol, y llywodraethwyr, ac yn y pen draw, i'r cyngor sir," meddai.
"Mae'r broses sydd wedi bod yn digwydd dros y tair blynedd diwethaf wedi bod yn glir a thryloyw i bawb, ac mewn ffordd ddemocrataidd."
Dywedodd y cynghorydd Gareth Jones, aelod cabinet Cyngor Sir Gâr ar addysg: "Mae'r penderfyniad ar y cynnig i newid darpariaeth ysgol gynradd yn Llangennech wedi dilyn proses hir, ac rydyn ni'n fodlon bod y camau statudol wedi eu dilyn a'n bod ni wedi ymgynghori'n eang."
Dywedodd cadeirydd rhanbarth Caerfyrddin Cymdeithas yr Iaith, Sioned Elin: "Mae newid ysgol Llangennech i fod yn ysgol Gymraeg yn bwysig i'r sir gyfan yn ogystal â Llangennech.
"Dim ond addysg Gymraeg fydd yn sicrhau bod plant yn rhugl yn y Gymraeg a'r Saesneg ac yn sicrhau cyfleoedd gwaith a chymdeithasol iddynt yn y dyfodol.
"Roedd yn rhagweladwy y byddai Neil Hamilton yn achub ar y cyfle i wneud safiad gwrth-Gymraeg fel hyn, fyddai'n amddifadu cenhedlaeth arall o blant o'r gallu i fyw a gweithio yn Gymraeg.
"Beth sydd i'w ddisgwyl gan rywun nad yw'n trafferthu byw yn yr etholaeth na'r wlad y mae'n gwasanaethu?"
Asda said it would start selling blue reliever inhalers over the counter without prescription from Tuesday.
Customers over 16 will be able to buy two inhalers for £7.
The Department of Health said that medicines must be dispensed by qualified staff "in line with all legal requirements".
In England such items would incur a charge of £7.65 if obtained on prescription; in the rest of the UK prescription charges no longer apply.
There are two different types of inhalers, "relievers" and "preventers", available to the 5.2 million people in the UK who suffer from asthma.
Blue reliever inhalers - the ones Asda will be selling - contain the drug salbutamol and are used if someone is feeling wheezy or suffering an attack.
Preventer inhalers are taken twice daily to help keep asthma under control.
Faisal Tuddy, deputy superintendent pharmacist at Asda, said the service was designed to be easy and convenient but would be closely monitored.
"All of our pharmacists have been trained and know they mustn't sell the inhalers without due care," he said.
Dr Samantha Walker, executive director of research and policy at Asthma UK, said the scheme was interesting in principle but she was uncertain how it would work in practice.
She said: "We applaud anything that is going to help asthma suffers but this new service has raised a few questions for us.
"Our main worry is people will overuse their inhalers when they know this service is available. If you use your inhaler too much you may end up in hospital."
Customers will be limited to two inhalers at a time which will have to last them eight weeks.
They will need to fill in a questionnaire about their condition before buying the medication.
Qualified pharmacists and an online doctor service will oversee the sale of the inhalers.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "Medicines should be dispensed by appropriately qualified staff and in line with all legal requirements."
Dr Morris Fraser was the senior psychiatric registrar at the Royal Victoria Hospital's child guidance clinic in Belfast.
He also wrote the book Children in Conflict, about how the Troubles in Northern Ireland affected children.
The study into Fraser's activities was produced by academic Dr Niall Meehan.
It highlights a catalogue of failures by the authorities that enabled Fraser to remain on the medical register despite being convicted twice - in 1972 in London and in 1974 in New York - for child abuse.
As a result, Fraser continued to have access to vulnerable children and to sexually abuse them for a period of about 20 years.
Dr Meehan said the General Medical Council, London's Metropolitan Police and the Royal Ulster Constabulary did not tell the Royal Victoria Hospital that Fraser had been convicted of child abuse.
He added that Fraser's victims required justice, and the onus is now on the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse in England and Wales to investigate how the authorities' dealt with Fraser.
"The Goddard inquiry, which is looking into child abuse in Britain, must look at the interaction between abuse in Northern Ireland and abuse in Britain," he said.
"The police should have told the hospital when they detected Fraser's abuse in 1971," he said.
"It must be surely assumed that Fraser was allowed to continue his work in return for providing some form of services to the authorities.
"These are very serious concerns - the point is the authorities must answer for this."
It is understood a Freedom of Information request regarding Fraser was turned down in 2015 for reasons of national security.
Dr Meehan said that fuelled the suspicion that "he was working for the authorities in some way".
"People talk about these matters being in the past but the victims of this abuse are alive - these are matters of the present," he added.
"Children were abused while the authorities knew that they were being abused."
Richard Kerr, who now lives in Texas, was one of Fraser's victims.
He was about 12 years old when he was first taken to the psychiatrist's clinic at the Royal Victoria Hospital along with his sister.
On his second visit, he was alone.
"He asked me to stand up and take my shorts down," Mr Kerr said.
"For some reason, within a minute, he had some sort of Polaroid camera. He started taking shots.
"He said not to worry - he's a doctor. But I felt embarrassed."
Two years later, Richard was sent to Kincora boys' home, the centre of an abuse scandal between the late 1950s and early 1980s.
Richard, who was abused at the home, felt increasingly isolated and vulnerable.
He said those in positions of power exploited vulnerable children.
"The only people I knew were my abusers and the only thing I had to do was to try and please them, because I had no one else to turn to," he said.
"They used me to go out to other locations and be with different men.
"Back then, no one believed me. I didn't think anyone would believe me.
"They use your troubled past against you."
Wales slumped seven places to 24th in the latest list, England fell one spot to 10th, and the Republic of Ireland dropped two positions to 31st.
Scotland - who failed to qualify for the tournament in France - enjoyed a jump of five places into 40th place.
Argentina moved ahead of Belgium to top the rankings, with Chile, Colombia and Germany completing the top five.
The European Championship begins on 10 June, with the final taking place on 10 July.

That's the situation facing the owners of Neverland Ranch, the former home of pop star Michael Jackson.
They've had the well-known gated estate, now called Sycamore Valley Ranch, on the market since May. So now, after months without a sale, they're targeting Asia's super wealthy.
The asking price? About $100m ((£66m) according to a listing on Hong Kong-based Luxify, an online marketplace that specialises in buying and selling luxury items and connecting buyers to dealers.
It makes money by charging for listings and all its transactions are completed offline.
Launched in March, the privately-owned online firm now has offices in Singapore and London, but says about 70% of its 21,000 active buyers are based in Asia.
Which is why co-founder Alexis Zirah says he's confident he'll be able to sell Neverland - most likely to a Chinese buyer.
"We are working online as well as offline to find the right buyer," he says. "You have to remember that Chinese people are the biggest foreign investors in the US property market."
Statistics from the US National Association of Realtors confirm that Chinese investors purchased $22bn worth of residential real estate in the 12 months to March, a 72% increase from the year before.
So it's no surprise Neverland is just one of a number of celebrity homes and famous castles listed on Luxify.
Last week, the online firm put up Michael Jordan's Chicago mansion, a property the basketball star has been trying to sell for several years.
Today's offer price for the 56,000 sq ft property? Just under $15m - or almost half the amount it was first listed for in 2012.
In addition to multimillion dollar homes, Mr Zirah and his business partner Florian Martigny list cars, jewellery, wine, yachts and collectibles, but more than half of their products are second-hand.
Buying pre-loved luxury items used to be taboo in Asia, but attitudes are changing quickly, especially as regional customers look for bargains online.
"This is completely new," says Mr Martigny.
"Two, three years ago, nobody in Asia was buying pre-owned luxury items," he explains.
"There is still stigma against it, but it's much less now," he adds as he shows off a second-hand Italian sports car that's listed for more than $3m.
Globally, the online second-hand luxury industry is still small, but according to a 2014 study by management consultants Bain & Company, it's growing quickly, twelvefold since 2007.
Bain & Company's Claudia D'Arpizio estimates the market for second-hand luxury clothing, accessories, watches and jewellery was worth about 16 billion euros ($17bn) in 2014.
"While this market threatens new product sales, it is simultaneously turning luxury goods into durables with an increasingly defined re-sell price, thus increasing their value," she says.
A rival report from McKinsey & Company estimates that luxury online sales grew by 50% from 2013 to 2014, reaching 14bn euros ($14.8bn; £9.93), representing 6% of the global luxury market for personal goods.
Perhaps nothing else embodies the convergence of luxury, technology and the sharing economy as much as the rise of online second-hand sites like Luxify and Guiltless, another firm that's set to launch a consignment site - a marketplace for people to sell on their possessions.
Guiltless was founded in Hong Kong by 25-year-old Yen Kuok, youngest daughter of Malaysian billionaire Robert Kuok and is set to launch in Hong Kong and Singapore in January.
Ms Kuok started Guiltless after trying to sell her high-end clothes and accessories to consignment sites in the US, where she attended university.
"They were very keen, but they said they didn't take items from Asia," she says.
"In fact, they didn't take items outside Europe or the US. I was quite shocked."
Her site has since collected about 3,000 pieces - mostly dresses, handbags and shoes - of which 40% are second-hand. The rest are new items, usually from past collections.
Ms Kuok estimates the goods will be offered at discounts of between 30% and 80% off their original retail price.
"Even if people in Asia don't admit it, they are looking for a deal. They're looking for value for money," she says.
"In Europe, people carry an expensive handbag for life. In Asia, people want a new model every year."
Guiltless will launch with six full-time and six part-time employees and has plans to target shoppers like Vinnie Ong - a 25-year-old investment banker working in Hong Kong.
Ms Ong says her first luxury purchase was a pair of ballet slipper style shoes when she was 18 from designer Tory Burch.
After graduating from university and landing a well-paying job, her enthusiasm grew. She began to buy handbags from brands such as Celine, Valentino, Louis Vuitton and Prada.
But after snapping up a pristine second-hand Prada handbag for about half its retail price, Ms Ong says she was quickly drawn to shopping on consignment websites.
"I was getting an almost-new item at a really great price. It was a very positive experience," she explains.
Ms Ong estimates that she has spent about $10,000 on handbags this year and says about half of them are second-hand.
"I will probably increase my luxury spending as I get older, in line with my spending power," she says.
Meanwhile, new and emerging business like Guiltless and Luxify are counting on shoppers around the world to do much the same.
Police arrested the boys, aged between 13 and 17, on Saturday after reports of an incident at the school on Trench Road in the Waterside area of the city.
The boys were questioned about a number of offences, including criminal damage.
They have been released pending further enquiries.
The decisions follow a combined public inquiry, which closed in May 2014.
A sixth proposal - to upgrade an existing wind farm at Llandinam - was approved, but plans for a power line to link it to the grid were rejected.
As part of the plan, power lines would have run through Shropshire to link energy generated by the wind farms to the national supply.
Montgomeryshire MP Glyn Davies welcomed the announcement while the Welsh government said it was "very disappointing".
Onshore wind energy has been a controversial issue in rural Wales, marked by protests against the visual impact of turbines.
The combined public inquiry, which ran for almost a year from June 2013, was ordered by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) after Powys council refused to approve construction for a range of wind farm projects.
Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom confirmed on Monday that only one of the six projects - a revamp of ScottishPower's existing wind farm at Llandinam - had been approved.
However, a proposed overhead power line connecting it to a sub-station at Welshpool was rejected.
A ScottishPower spokesperson said the firm acknowledged the decisions, adding: "We will now need to consider our next steps over the coming weeks."
Four other wind farm projects - at Llanbadarn Fynydd, Llaithddu, Llanbrynmair, and Carnedd Wen - were also refused.
A DECC spokesperson said: "Careful consideration has been given to each application, and the planning and energy issues involved."
Tory MP, Mr Davies said "a dark cloud" over Montgomeryshire had been lifted.
"We have protected the legacy which we have enjoyed, for our children to love in the way we do," he said.
"I am pleased that DECC Ministers have listened to the inspirational protest movement that rose up against the plans of the Welsh Government to desecrate mid Wales with pylons and several hundred additional turbines.
"It was a wholly unreasonable and insensitive proposal."
However, the Welsh government said the area would now "miss out" on investment, and jobs, while Wales had been "denied the opportunity to further reduce our carbon emissions by a decision made in Westminster".
"Today's decision is not only very disappointing and concerning but once again reinforces the importance of the Welsh government having control of energy consents for projects in our country," a spokesman said. | Infection control experts have started an investigation into a cluster of C. difficile cases at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

In recent years, the treatment of Muslims in Myanmar has been in the spotlight with outbreaks of deadly violence and the plight of ethnic Rohingya who are denied citizenship.
Neither of the main parties fielded any Muslim candidates in the 8 November poll, and in the months before the election, officials confirmed that hundreds of thousands of Muslims had been left off voter registration lists.
Photographer Andre Malerba met two people in a Muslim area of Yangon, to find out if they think life will improve under Aung San Suu Kyi's NLD.
Cheika, 49, was named 2015 world coach of the year after leading the Wallabies to last year's World Cup final.
However, the former Leinster coach then faced the task of integrating several new players into the Australia squad.
"Maybe I didn't get it 100% right at the start of the year," said Cheika.
"When the new guys started coming in, from a mental perspective maybe I tried to continue on and didn't understand that maybe they and the other players who had gone back to their Super Rugby sides had to be either reminded of the project or introduced to it for the first time."
The new players drafted into the squad for the England series and Rugby Championship campaign included winger Dane Haylett-Petty, lock Rory Arnold, centre Samu Kerevi and full-back Reece Hodge.
"We needed to go back to zero and the players told who we are and how we represent Australia and buy into the project again."
Australia's new players appear to have taken Cheika's message on board judging by the opening wins over Wales, Scotland and France on their northern hemisphere tour.
The Wallabies opened their November series with a 32-8 win over Wales, which was followed by seeing off Scotland and France in tight contests.
Further victories over Ireland on Saturday and England on 3 December would see the Aussies emulating the 1984 Wallabies and achieving a grand slam over the home nations.
Cheika, the only coach to win both the European Cup and Super Rugby title, says his focus on establishing an identity for the team goes back to his days at Sydney club Randwick where he was a fearless number eight.
"The club who brought me up and played for really taught me on that," added Cheika, who coached Leinster to their first European Cup triumph in 2009.
"When you're in the Aussie team you are in a position to inspire young kids and people to support us and also take up playing the game."
The periodically fiery Cheika, who had an unconventional background for a national coach after making a successful career in the fashion industry, admits his character even sometimes perplexes himself.
"I'm still learning about that stuff (his character) and maybe one day I will sit back and work out exactly what it is," said the coach, who led the Waratahs to the Super Rugby title in 2014.
Three of Cheika's four children have Irish passports after being born in Ireland during his five-year stint with Leinster between 2005-10.
Cheika's father, Joseph, moved from Lebanon to Australia over 60 years ago and the Australian coach maintains strong links with the Middle Eastern country.
"I have a lot of family still there and my mother goes there for three months a year, although it is probably not an ideal holiday destination right now considering the countries it is between," he said.
"It (Lebanon) is very much part of my heritage and I will pass it on to my kids, for sure."
The 29-year-old announced the ban after scoring in the side's 3-0 World Cup qualifier victory over Colombia.
A radio report alleged that forward Ezequiel Lavezzi smoked marijuana after a training session, which he denies.
"We've received many accusations, a lot of lack of respect and we never said anything," Messi said.
Messi and the 25-man squad walked out of the news conference following the Colombia game.
It was also announced that Lavezzi is taking the radio reporter to court over the accusations.
"We know there are lots of you who are not in the game of not showing us respect, but getting into one's personal life is very grave," Messi added.
Argentina were criticised following their 3-0 defeat by Brazil on Friday but their win over Colombia moved them up to fifth place and back into qualifying contention.
The top four in the South America group move straight into the finals, while fifth place qualifies for an intercontinental play-off.
Elsewhere in the group, Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez scored twice as Chile beat Uruguay 3-1 to stay third.
Chile had been warned by Arsene Wenger that it would be "suicidal" to play Sanchez unless he was fully fit after he injured a muscle in training.
However Sanchez played 85 minutes and looks set to be fit for Arsenal's Premier League match against Manchester United on Saturday (12:30 GMT).

The US company behind the famous toy, Mattel, is adding "tall, curvy and petite" body shapes to its line-up of the fashion dolls.
Several skin tones, eye colours and hair styles will also be added to the collection, the company said.
Barbie's figure has come under fire for years, with critics arguing it set an unrealistic body image for girls.
With the new body shapes, the toy makers say they are "offering girls choices that are more reflective of the world they see today".
Last year, the company introduced 23 new dolls to its so-called Fashionistas line with varied skin and hair colours, and a much touted flat foot - replacing Barbie's signature heels.
With this year's update, the Barbie Fashionistas line will feature:
"We are excited to literally be changing the face of the brand - these new dolls represent a line that is more reflective of the world girls see around them - the variety in body type, skin tones and style allows girls to find a doll that speaks to them," Mattel executive Evelyn Mazzocco said in a statement.
Some took to Twitter to hail the move:
Others questioned light-heartedly when the same would happen for Ken, the fictional toy boyfriend of Barbie.
The new dolls will go on sale in the spring of 2016 worldwide.
However, true to life, Mattel warned that "not all clothes will fit all dolls".
Barbie Millicent Roberts is a woman with a very controversial reputation and mostly it stems from her long legs, tiny waist, ample bosom, slender neck and flowing blonde locks.
Some argue her body shape would be unobtainable and unsustainable if scaled up to life-size. They claim she would not be able to stand up because her body frame would be so unbalanced. A real life Barbie would simply fall over.

Hamilton leads his Mercedes team-mate by 24 points going into the penultimate round in Brazil, after earning his 10th win of the year in Austin last weekend.
Media playback is not supported on this device
His run of five straight wins means the momentum is with the 29-year-old as he pursues a second world championship.
But the Briton said: "Every weekend Nico resets, comes in and qualifies on pole. He's massively strong mentally."
Hamilton insists Rosberg is "still there, still fighting", even though the German described his defeat to his title rival at Sunday's United States Grand Prix, for which he qualified on pole only to surrender the lead to the Briton on lap 24, as "the worst possible way to lose".
With 75 points available in the final races in Brazil and Abu Dhabi, there is still every chance for Rosberg to land his maiden Formula 1 title, despite his recent disappointing sequence.
Even if he fails to score at Interlagos this weekend and Hamilton wins, his deficit would stand at 49 points with 50 to play for at the season finale on 23 November.
Rosberg, 29, has had nine pole positions so far in 2014 but he needs to translate that into success on a Sunday and that has proved elusive, with just four wins to his name.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It will be the same approach from me: fully committed, full attack, try and be on pole in qualifying and then win Interlagos and that's it," said Rosberg.
"There are still many points to be had and a lot can still happen."
Hamilton, meanwhile, is refusing to be distracted by the controversy over the double-points scenario, which his team boss at Mercedes, Toto Wolff, admits has the potential to "overshadow" the season.
"It is what it is," Hamilton, the 2008 world champion, said. "There's no point in getting upset about it. It's just about being positive. I've driven the best I've ever driven this year.
"If I continue to do what I've been doing then there's no doubt in my mind that I can come up winning."
Brazilian Grand Prix coverage details.
Rory, 12, has been riding for just over six months and just came uncomfortably close to being kicked.
Gypsy, surely one of the world's hairiest ponies, aimed a dinner-plate-sized hoof in Rory's general direction as a warning when he put the saddle in the wrong part of his back.
"Do you understand why that happened?" asks Jo, an adult helper.
"You got him hard on the tender part of his back and he said, 'Ouch, ouch, ouch.'
"Always put it slightly too far forward and move it backwards into the right position."
Rory is one of Chesham Grammar School Equestrian Club's newest members.
Along with some 40 other year-seven pupils, about a quarter of the year group, he joined last September, attracted by the idea of riding and being outside in the countryside.
Other schools might offer riding as an extra-curricular activity, however, this usually means heading off to a local riding school once a week.
But Chesham Grammar School Equestrian Club has 11 of its own ponies, kept on a field near the school.
It is run by chemistry teacher Antonia Thoday, herself an accomplished rider who competes at regional level.
"It's the only state school with its own ponies with a set-up like this. It is unique," she says.
"It is an extra-curricular activity, totally run by volunteers and self-funded."
In 1972, the then caretaker of the Buckinghamshire school set the club up with two ponies bought with the proceeds of the summer fete.
Members wear a sweatshirt emblazoned with the name of every pony the club has ever owned. And there have been dozens.
"Most people see it as a physical activity they can do at school but it also develops their life skills," says Miss Thoday.
"They develop confidence through handling the horses, working with other members of different ages and taking responsibility.
"It is the only school activity that carries on every day of the year, including Christmas day."
The club has survived this long on a mixture of good will and hard work.
Pupils pay £5 for a riding lesson once a week or once a fortnight - a fraction of the cost of most riding schools. In return, they help look after the ponies and clean the tack.
Parents are also expected to volunteer - helping with transport, maintaining fencing, pulling up weeds and helping to fund-raise.
Miss Thoday gives up a couple of evenings a week and half a day every weekend to deliver the lessons. She also organises the entire schedule.
This evening is gymkhana night, a sort of whacky races on horseback.
There are three teams, with eight pupils sharing two ponies in each team.
After catching the ponies, cleaning off the mud and tacking them up, the fun begins.
"OK folks! Time for the tyre race. Tyre race with a difference," announces Miss Thoday.
"At the end of your lane there are two bicycle tyres and this time you get off your pony and you have to climb through the tyres and then run back with your pony."
Other games include picking a mug off a post while on horseback, dropping balls into buckets and trotting round posts, all activities designed to improve riding skills and precision.
Team members shout advice: "Nice and gently", "Don't kick him", "Ride to the line", "Keep going".
The games are adjusted to the abilities of the riders, from beginners like Rory, to Emily, 18, who will start a degree course in equine performance coaching at Warwickshire College next year.
But this is not just about riding in the sunshine.
Caring for the ponies gets tough in the depths of winter when members must brave knee-deep mud, failing light and icy temperatures.
The enthusiasm of many new members does not survive the cold.
"Loads of people join in year seven and slowly the people who aren't so keen drop out.
"The winter weeds out the disorganised. I quite enjoy it - you don't get too muddy when everything is frozen," says James, 16.
"In the winter they come straight after school. If they get their act together they can be finished by the time it's dark," adds Miss Thoday.
Committed members say that despite the cold, the winter checks are a key part of what they gain from the equestrian club.
"It gives you a lot of different skills and you really learn to work better in teams," says Chloe, 13.
"It makes you more organised," concludes Isabel, 16.
For parent Pru Biddle the riding club teaches crucial life lessons.
"They have to manage their time, work in teams and take responsibility for the animals.
"It is hard work but certainly teaches them that you don't get something for nothing."
Emily believes the experiences and opportunities she has gained at the club were crucial to her degree choice.
"You get to learn so much and it opens up so many possibilities.
"I wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn everything I have learned and move on to degree level without it."
The toys are reported to have come from five freight containers that were washed off a cargo ship battling its way through choppy seas.
The unexpected arrivals have delighted children on the island.
It and other parts of Germany have been battered by Storm Axel, which has caused some of the worst flooding on Germany's northern coast since 2006.
Langeoog Mayor Uwe Garrels decided to allow local kindergarten children to collect as many of the eggs - each containing little toys with Russian messages inside - as they wanted.
Storm surge floods Germany coast
"The surprise eggs have found their way to freedom," he was was quoted by German media as saying.
The mayor said that if any foreign companies objected to this, they were invited to help gather thousands of "small plastic bags and other packaging materials" that have been washed ashore with the eggs and were polluting the island's beaches.
Towns and cities along the Baltic coast were flooded by the storm, from Kiel in the far north to the resort island of Usedom near the Polish border.
Sea levels were at one point recorded in the port of Wismar at 1.83m (6ft) above normal.
The 77-year-old magician has returned home from hospital after receiving the terminal diagnosis two weeks ago.
Doctors do not know how much time he has left and he cannot be treated, his son Martin Daniels has said.
McGee said she and her husband had had no idea how people felt, describing their support as "truly amazing".
She wrote: "I wish I could answer all your wonderful messages individually but there are so many. They are all appreciated so much.
"Paul and I had no [idea] of how people felt. Truly amazing. Thank you."
Martin has told the Sunday Mirror: "Dad's not going to get any better. There's no treatment which can help him.
"Doctors haven't said how many weeks or months he might have - and we haven't asked. He knows things are not in his hands now and we are living in the knowledge every day is a bonus.
"It is unbearably difficult. He has said before, 'When it's your time it's your time' and that's how he is trying to face up to things."
Martin Daniels, who is also a magician, said that, following the diagnosis, his father made the decision to return to his home in Berkshire, where his wife has been by his side.
"He's happy there - some days he is tired and spends most of his time in bed dozing. But even then he is happy," he said, adding his father was "lucid" and the family were moved by the support from fans.
"We are very grateful and all of us are genuinely touched. It is giving us tremendous strength at what is a very difficult time."
Choreographer Arlene Phillips is among those to send messages to the Daniels family, writing on Twitter: "Thinking of you @ThePaulDaniels @thedebbiemcgee remembering early days with Paul in Blackpool learning how to fold myself up into a box."
McGee replied: "Happy memories".
Paul Daniels' TV career began with an appearance on talent series Opportunity Knocks in 1970.
He went on to front the BBC's Paul Daniels Magic Show, which ran for 15 years, and became one of the biggest stars on British TV.
The family has set up a fundraising page for brain tumour charities.
Wales face Group D leaders Serbia in a World Cup qualifier at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday.
Williams, 23, on loan at Ipswich Town from Crystal Palace, was an unused substitute in the 6-1 World Cup qualifying defeat in Novi Sad in 2012.
"We haven't really spoken much about it this campaign," said Williams, who has 17 caps.
"It's a long way behind us and we've come so far as a team and what we have achieved since then has been amazing.
"It's the same players and what they've created here is something really special."
Defeat in Novi Sad was as a fourth successive loss for Chris Coleman, the worst start by any Wales manager.
But Coleman oversaw a change in the national team's fortunes and, in qualifying for Euro 2016, Wales reached their first major tournament for 58 years.
Williams has returned to the Wales squad after missing the opening three games of the World Cup qualifying campaign after injuring an ankle during pre-season.
Serbia are top of Group D with seven points from their first three matches, while Wales are two points behind in third place having won one and drawn two.
Reece Wabara opened the scoring for the visitors in superb fashion, firing his 25-yard volley past Ben Garratt.
The Alex levelled just before the break through Brad Inman's first-time effort, before Ryan Colclough struck the Wigan bar from the edge of the box.
Crewe withstood constant pressure in the second period, as Garratt kept out multiple efforts from Yanic Wildschut.
The Alex picked up only their second point in six League One matches since 28 November - but Steve Davis's side are still only eight points adrift of safety.
Crewe manager Steve Davis told BBC Radio Stoke:
"It was a hard earned point. "A fair result and a good game. I was surprised we fell behind when we did because we had started better than we have in recent weeks.
"But the lads didn't let going a goal behind affect them. And we got a terrific goal. Ryan Colclough hit a great pass, Brad took it on his chest and it was a great finish.
"We have worked on Brad Inman making those type of runs in behind the centre-halves, so we were pleased when it came off for our equaliser.
Wigan Athletic manager Gary Caldwell told BBC Radio Manchester:

"We were the dominant team right throughout the game. We created numerous opportunities.
"We've played worse than that and won games this season.
"I'm very happy with the result but obviously disappointed because we came here to win."
Yala is a place of magic, of rocky outcrops, big trees, ancient lakes and the rushing sound of the Indian Ocean never far off. It is a place of leopards, elephants, sloth bears, antelopes and a rich bird life of peacocks, hornbills and more.
But conservationists in Sri Lanka are warning that anarchic behaviour in some national parks is endangering the wildlife and the ecology of wilderness areas.
They say safari vehicles are flagrantly breaking speed limits and that marauding behaviour by drivers and tourists is grossly insensitive to fauna and flora.
This is especially the case in Yala in the south-east, the most famous habitat for leopards - the only big cat found on the island.
I experienced this during a recent trip there when we careered through the park at high speed, even though we told our veteran driver that we did not want to go fast and that we were by no means obsessed with seeing a leopard.
At first we were merely jolted, but within about 10 minutes, I had been flung to the hard metal bars running along the ceiling of the safari truck and sustained a serious head injury.
But there have been serious consequences for wildlife in the area. Four months ago a female leopard cub was killed in Yala by a hit-and-run driver.
The BBC has been told of jeep drivers going up to 100 kph (the nominal limit is 40 kph), bottles and dung being thrown into bushes to entice the animals out, and widespread littering.
It is also not uncommon to see jeep "jams" caused by the frenzied use of mobile phones to spread the word about a wildlife sighting.
A contributor to travel and nature website lakdasun.org said he could not photograph a bird or rabbit without jeep-drivers barging in thinking he was looking at a leopard or revving their engines, overtaking and shouting obscenities.
The bad behaviour is all in aid of spotting the beautiful and elusive leopard - or drivers trying to show one to tourists hoping it will get them a fat tip.
Yala's elephants, sloth bears, spotted deer, crocodiles and rich bird life are almost ignored by comparison.
Manori Gunawardena, a wildlife biologist living near Yala, says "leopard-centric marketing" is to blame. "It's become a status thing - everyone wants to put the leopard shot on Facebook," she says.
Mithila Somasiri, who is a moderator on lakdasun.org, says tourists, especially Sri Lankan ones, make heavy demands on the drivers. Until quite recently there were few photographers and no mobile signals. Now, he says, the open part of Yala is "no longer a wildness experience".
As for the drivers themselves, one of their representatives admits there is chaos.
"There are lots of vehicles travelling in the park after hours," Tharindu Jayasinghe of the Independent Safari Jeep Drivers' Association told the BBC.
"On some days there are 500-600 vehicles entering Yala. That's terribly high and should be limited to about 150. There's so much congestion that you can't see the animals, so much noise that they disappear."
He admits that many enter the park without even a driving licence and would like to see a proper register of all the vehicles that enter.
Several wildlife enthusiasts said they had seen both drivers and self-driving visitors breaking the rules in Yala yet getting away with it because of their close relationship with politicians.
A senior government official candidly admitted to the BBC that rules were being disregarded.
"We must build a relationship with the drivers to keep them under control," said S Kalaiselvam of the Tourism Development Authority.
He said the authorities have started an awareness programme on better behaviour for drivers and government-employed wildlife trackers, who number only 40 in Yala. They have also distributed DVDs to tourists and drivers on how to conduct a safari.
The programme is in its infancy, however. Mr Kalaiselvam admits there are not the resources to monitor driver behaviour properly but says that where offending drivers are caught they should be suspended from the park.
Others favour special licences for jeep drivers or even switching off the mobile service at peak viewing times in the early morning and late afternoon.
Many say the emphasis should be bringing drivers on board in developing a new outlook.
"You can't just follow phone calls," says Riaz Cader of Jetwing Eco Holidays, a Sri Lankan tour operator which has forbidden its chauffeur guides to use their mobiles.
"You must show the wildlife at leisure, follow the pugmarks, try and track them."
For some, this problem is symptomatic of broader issues. The wildlife biologist Manori Gunawardena says Sri Lanka's stated target of attracting 2.5 million tourists a year by 2016 is unrealistic and unsustainable, and criticises big development works being carried out near Yala.
"The trajectory we are on does not take wilderness and wildlife into account," she says.
In the end, says Rukshan Jayewardene of The Leopard Trust, a local organisation, the wildlife stands to suffer unless there is change.
He recounted a recent incident in which a group of jeeps obstructed a leopard as she pursued a buffalo calf. As they were moving into her space, she gave up the hunt.
"Any time a leopard fails in a hunt, she comes a step closer to starvation," he said. "This happens quite a lot - the leopard will change its mind and direction. They feel a lot of frustration.
"Don't be so over-zealous that you practically park on the leopard."
Anarchic behaviour on Sri Lanka's roads takes a regular, terrible toll of fatalities. Similar indiscipline now appears to be penetrating the wildlife parks.
Not twinkling jewels and smouldering mountains of gold, mind, but something just as valuable. We got hold of a huge cache of unpublished data.
And there are plenty more hidden stashes of precious data to be found here in India, according to rock star economist Thomas Piketty.
Data really is treasure these days, just look at Facebook's share price.
It should be pretty obvious why.
The more you know about something, the better you are going to be able to manipulate it - in Facebook's case, of course, that means us.
The value of the data Facebook so carefully collects can be measured in money. That's not true of the data cache Adam and I found. Its value will - potentially at least - be measured in lives saved.
We got hold of a vast survey of the health and welfare of thousands of women and children carried out by the Indian government with the UN agency for children, Unicef. The report had been due for publication in October 2014 but the Indian government had chosen to keep it secret.
"Data is crucial for making sound evidence-based plans," fumed Saba Mebrahtu, Unicef's head of nutrition in India.
Health workers had been making decisions about what priorities to set and how to achieve them on the basis of information that was almost a decade old.
Getting it wrong really matters in a country with so much malnutrition and disease.
There was fury as the opposition clashed with the ruling party demanding the data be released officially. The Economist published all the information on its website; a few days later the Indian government quietly followed suit.
But it seems our treasure hunt is not over, because if India is secretive about the nation's health, it is even more cagey about its wealth.
At the Jaipur Literature Festival I met Thomas Piketty, author of one of the most unlikely bestsellers ever, Capital in the Twenty-First Century.
This mammoth tome charting in minute detail the progress of inequality across the world over the last few centuries has already sold well over two million copies.
Mr Piketty's book has transformed our understanding of wealth and inequality.
The book describes how the world has become a much more unequal place in the last couple of decades and - more worrying still - suggests it is only likely to get more so, with disastrous consequences for social cohesion and economic growth.
Mr Piketty was fuming too, and not just about how unfairly wealth is distributed. He is also furious about India's unwillingness to publish its income tax data.
"There is extreme lack of transparency for data, especially income tax data, in India," blasts Mr Piketty.
Without that data, he says, it is very difficult to measure inequality.
That's all too apparent when I ask him the most obvious question of them all: how unequal is India?
"We simply don't know," he tells me with a sigh.
"India is probably closer to the high inequality countries of the world like Brazil or South Africa, than to the US or Europe," he says. "But where exactly we don't really know, partly because of lack of access to proper data.
"We see the same problem with access to caste census data that was supposed to clarify the link between caste, income, wealth and income inequality. This puts a limit on our ability to put India on a map in terms of inequality."
India used to publish pretty detailed statistics, he says, but then in 2000 it suddenly stopped. And never started again, despite the enactment of a Right of Information Act in 2005.
But it looks like Mr Piketty might have found a way to pry the information out.
The organisers at Jaipur had set up a delicious debate: Mr Piketty in conversation with Arvind Subramanian, the Indian government's urbane chief economic adviser.
When Mr Piketty raised the issue of India's data deficit Mr Subramanian promised to personally ensure the data is released.
We look forward to that.
In the meantime, please tell me if you know of any other missing data and let's try and get hold of it, because health and wealth isn't the only data treasure missing.
Thomas Piketty is widely expected to get the Nobel Prize for his work on inequality. But he's not the only Nobel contender to have issues with India's attitude to information.
Here's what the winner of last year's Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences, Angus Deaton, has to say about data in India:
"My work shows how important it is that independent researchers should have access to data, so that government statistics can be checked, and so that the democratic debate within India can be informed by the different interpretations of different scholars," says Mr Deaton, who won his prize for his analysis of poverty and welfare, mostly based on work in India.
He says, "High quality, open, transparent, and uncensored data are needed to support democracy."
Quite so.
Essex Police were called to Marine Parade in Southend on Friday after members of the public confronted and detained three Greek tourists.
The incident flared after a group confronted the men because some children happened to be in the images.
A police spokesman said officers looked at the images and no offence was found to have been committed.
It is understood the images had been taken near some fountains.
A number of posts were later made on social media making allegations against the three men, that were shared thousands of times.
Martin Richardson, from the Happidrome Arcade, saw what happened.
"There was some shouting and hollering which seemed to develop. We saw a police car pull up. We thought nothing of it," he said.
He said while the initial incident seemed to have been dealt with, posts subsequently on Facebook were "disgusting".
"It is a witch-hunt, with words being used riling people's aggression and feelings up over something I feel was blown totally out of proportion," he said.
Tink Palmer, chief executive of the Marie Collins Foundation, a UK charity that supports children who suffer sexual abuse and exploitation via internet and mobile technologies, said it was good adults had voiced concerns about photography around children but said the later posts were a misuse of social media.
Sean O'Halloran, 29, from Northland Road, is accused of raping a woman in May last year.
The defendant, who is a journalist with BBC Radio Foyle, faces two additional charges of sexual assault on the same date.
A prosecution lawyer said she believed he had a case to answer.
He replied "no" when asked if he had anything to say to the charges.
He was remanded on bail of £500 to appear for an arraignment hearing at the Crown Court on 6 January.
Rita King, 81, who was believed to have dementia, was killed at De La Mer House in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex on Monday, 28 December.
Her husband, Ronald King, of Cedar Close in the seaside town, appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court.
Mr King, who came into court on crutches, was remanded in custody and will face trial on 4 July.
During a brief hearing, Mr King spoke only to confirm his name and enter his plea.
He was told he could remain seated during the 10 minute hearing.
The departures from the prison in Cuba were the first for six months.
President Barack Obama promised to close Guantanamo Bay during his election campaign in 2008. Although he has been unable to do so, he has cut the number of inmates by half.
The latest transfers bring the number of detainees in Guantanamo to 116.
The men had been cleared to leave for years, but could not be sent back to Yemen because of the country's instability.
Congress has barred transfers to the US mainland, so the only option left for the authorities is to send prisoners to third countries.
In a statement, the Pentagon said the US was "grateful to the government of Oman for its humanitarian gesture and willingness to support ongoing US efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility".
It is the second transfer of Guantanamo prisoners this year, after the Pentagon announced in January that four men had been moved to Oman and one to Estonia.
The six Yemenis flown to Oman on Friday were identified by the Pentagon as Idris Ahmad Abd Al Qadir Idris, Sharaf Ahmad Muhammad Masud, Jalal Salam Awad Awad, Saad Nasser Moqbil Al Azani, Emad Abdallah Hassan and Muhammad Ali Salem Al Zarnuki.
Emad Abdullah Hassan has held repeated hunger strikes in protest against his confinement without charge since 2002.
Correspondents say that President Obama, thwarted by Congress in his efforts to close the prison, has had to rely on only a handful of countries that have agreed to accept detainees.
Last year, 14 detainees were transferred out of the prison, based at a US naval base in south-eastern Cuba.

The sport was told last month it would receive no money for Rio 2016 - a cut of £8.5m from the London 2012 cycle.
NBA All-Star Deng, 27, wrote: "I refuse to sit back and let that legacy be completely demolished for basketball."

All sports affected have a chance to present their case for a reversal to funding body UK Sport on Wednesday.
Deng - who was born in Sudan but became a British citizen seven years ago after going to school in Croydon, south London - was the star name in the Team GB side that was knocked out in the group stage at London 2012.
The women's Team GB outfit also exited the competition at the bottom of their group.
The small forward has excelled since joining the Chicago Bulls in 2004 and will play in his second successive All-Star Game - a representative match featuring the best players in the NBA - on 17 February.
In December, UK Sport announced a record £347m worth of funding for Rio 2016, 11% up on London 2012, but basketball, handball, table tennis and wrestling lost all support.
Those disciplines missed out due to the organisation's "no compromise" approach to focus on sports with genuine future medal prospects rather than the more general approach adopted for the home Games.
"I, along with other people involved in the game, have put too much in and care too greatly to let this happen," Deng added.

"The sport of basketball is a pathway, a pathway that teaches so many valuable lessons on and off the court, how are we supposed to motivate these kids to carry along their journey when there's now nothing at the end. No Team GB, no Olympic dream, no goal."
The original decision about the level of funding was made after each Olympic discipline supplied UK Sport with a detailed plan evidencing their business case for investment which was allied to their potential to gain podium places in future events.
Basketball - along with the other sports unhappy with the 2013-17 allocation that followed - have been invited to London on 30 January to make an "informal representation" to the full UK Sport board.
Each representation will involve a 10-15 minute presentation followed by a discussion about each argument's merit, with a decision to follow on Friday. If the sports are still unhappy, they will have 20 working days from that date to make a formal appeal.
Aside from that process, British Basketball is also considering lodging a formal appeal to the Sport Dispute Resolution Panel. An adjournment debate in Parliament on 'Funding for Basketball' will also take place on Monday night.
Cricket's governing body said Irfan failed to disclose approaches made to him to engage in corruption.
The 26-year-old was charged and provisionally suspended in November following an investigation into an unnamed individual.
Irfan accepted the sanction and waived his right to appeal, the ICC said.
Sir Ronnie Flanagan, chairman of its anti-corruption unit , said Irfan's punishment was "a reminder to all" of "the requirement to report corrupt approaches without any delay".
Irfan's ban is backdated to the start of his provisional suspension and will expire on 4 May 2018.
Pressure group Stonewall put the authority in first place in its 2014 Education Equality Index.
It also praised the council's work with local charity the Allsorts Youth Project.
The charity delivers anti-homophobic bullying sessions in secondary and primary schools.
Richard Chamberlain is the assistant head teacher at Blatchington Mill School, which was also praised by Stonewall for its student equality conference earlier this year.
"We've done a huge amount of work in school and I know other schools across the authority are doing this work as well supported by Allsorts and Stonewall.
"It's just really great to get that recognition."
Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennitala told BBC Hindi that an inquiry had been ordered into the incident.
Inspector General of Police in Thrissur TJ Jose was allegedly found copying by the invigilator from photocopied pages of a textbook during Monday's exam.
Mr Jose denied the charge and called it a conspiracy to malign his reputation.
"Nobody has caught me for copying, no papers have been recovered from me. The examination began at 10am, and I finished writing my paper at about 12 and I came out. Nobody has given me any report of copying," The Times of India quoted him as saying.
The official, however, admitted that his senior had sought an explanation from him on the alleged incident, the paper adds.
Reports said Mr Jose was caught by an invigilator who did not know his identity. The invigilator informed the university authorities and the police official was asked to leave the examination hall.
Mr Chennitala said he had ordered a senior police official to hold an inquiry and submit his report "immediately". The university has also instituted its own investigation.
Cheating in exams in India is not uncommon - in March, more than 1,000 men were arrested in the northern state of Bihar over the use of impersonators and false papers for police recruitment tests.
Also in March, more than 300 people, including many parents, were arrested in the state after an outcry over photographs of mass cheating in secondary school exams.

La Sape - a cult of appearance - is known for its flamboyant style of dressing. It was meant to defy then-Zaire's ruler Mobutu Sese Seko who ordered people to wear traditional African clothes.
Two days earlier in northern Nigeria's main city, Kano, traditional regalia was on display for the public coronation of Mohammad Sanusi II as emir of Kano, the second-highest Islamic authority in Africa's most populous state.

Nominations have closed for the 4 May poll, which follows the death of long-serving Labour MP Sir Gerald Kaufman in February.
Sir Gerald, 86, was the longest-serving MP in Westminster having served the constituency for more than 30 years.
The by-election takes place on the same day as the first election of a mayor for Greater Manchester.
The candidates are:
Thirty-eight children were among those killed when the US Liberator heavy bomber destroyed houses, a cafe and a church school in Freckleton.
The service for was held at 10:30 BST - the time the plane hit the village.
It was held at Holy Trinity Church to remember those who died on 23 August 1944, during World War Two.
Ruby Currell was one of three children who survived when the reception classroom at Holy Trinity Church of England School caught fire.
She said: "I just want future generations to remember them. One day I'm not going to be here to do it.
"I just hope the village will continue to remember.
"It's nice to do this memorial service this year - it's 70 years and it is a long, long time."
Freckleton Air Disaster
Nellie Hankinson was in another classroom at the school and survived, but her sister Dorothy, five, was killed.
"It was a dreadful event. You never get over it.
"My mother and father never did," said Mrs Hankinson, 78.
"I still don't like thunder... I go to pieces when it thunders.

"Tears were streaming down his face," she said.
The Health Select Committee says the treatment of staff who raise concerns has undermined trust in the system.
And whistleblowers who are vindicated should receive an apology and "practical redress", its report adds.
The MPs also say the complaints system for patients is complex and confusing and there should be a "single gateway" covering health and social care.
The report says despite numerous inquiries and reports highlighting failings in complaint-handling and whistleblowing, serious shortcomings remain.
It emphasises the importance of ensuring health and care workers feel supported in raising professional concerns.
"The treatment of whistleblowers is a stain on the reputation of the NHS and has led to unwarranted, inexcusable pain for the courageous individuals affected," it says.
The report acknowledges there have been some attempts to create an open culture, where staff are encouraged to raise concerns, and there is a proper response.
But it concludes these initiatives are "far from common", and warns other potential whistleblowers may be deterred from coming forward.
"This has undermined trust in the system's ability to treat whistleblowers with fairness. This lack of confidence about the consequences of raising concerns has implications for patient safety."
The MPs are calling for a programme to identify whistleblowers whose actions are proven to have been vindicated. They say they should receive an apology and "practical redress", which could mean financial recompense, or - in some cases - getting their job back.
They also highlight continued failings in the way the NHS responds to patients' complaints. They say despite some progress, the current system remains "variable".
Too many individual cases are "mishandled", they say, sometimes leading to a "complete breakdown of trust" between patients and the NHS, and a failure to improve patient safety.
They argue the current "overly complex" system should be simplified by establishing a single complaints gateway covering health and social care. They suggest this could be modelled on the Complaints Wales service run by the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales.
Alongside this they say there is a "strong case" for the creation of a single health and social care ombudsman for England.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has welcomed the report.
"We want to make the NHS the safest healthcare system in the world and we know that listening to patients and staff is absolutely vital to improve care.
"That's why we've made hospitals legally obliged to apologise to patients when mistakes do happen, introduced complaints handling as a crucial element of tougher hospital inspections and have asked Sir Robert Francis to produce an independent report on how to create a more open NHS culture," he said.
Katherine Murphy from the Patients Association said the NHS must demonstrate it is prepared to listen.
"Complaints are like gold dust - they should be welcomed, they are telling you something is not right."
Peter Walsh from the charity Action against Medical Accidents, said he valued the MPs' recommendations, but warned that progress had been too slow.
"This is just the latest in a long line of reports and we now demand action to improve what has been a failing system."
The former NHS whistleblower Dr Kim Holt, founder of the charity Patients First, said the report was a first step in making much-needed changes.
"I am really pleased that a suggestion has been made that historic whistleblower cases are looked at and practical ways found of providing redress for them. That is a really amazing step forward, but the system needs an overhaul.
"We no longer want to see people on long-term suspensions, sick leave or dismissed for speaking up. The link between bullying and raising concerns is a close one and our key issue to be addressed is the one of bullying, which creates fear and desperation."
Cycling charity CTC made the accusation after the cross-Channel service said it would be storing bikes from 1 November in what is known as a "bike box" - meaning the bike has to be dismantled.
The change would discourage cyclists from using Eurostar, the charity said.
But Eurostar said the new storage method used space more efficiently.
"The only change is that bikes will now need to be carried in a bike box, which we are happy to provide," a Eurostar spokesman said.
"When packaging bikes in this way, they take up less space which means that we can carry more bikes, or any other type of luggage."
Currently cyclists can take a bicycle on board and pay a £30 fee for it to be carried via a registered luggage system. The bike is hung on a storage rack by its tyres, and Eurostar estimates that at the moment they have the capacity to take around eight bikes per train.
But from 1 November cyclists will have to dismantle their bikes to put them into a box and reassemble them when they reach their destination.
Eurostar said its staff would be on hand to help cyclists getting bikes into the boxes, and it would accommodate any size bike box if cyclists wanted to bring their own.
Transport for London (TfL) allows folding bikes on all of its London Tube services but only permits non-folded bikes at some stations.
On its buses, folded bikes are allowed at the "driver's discretion".
Train companies' policies on bikes vary: Virgin Trains requires customers to reserve a space for non-folded bikes, while Southern prohibits non-folding bikes on some of its rush-hour services.
Coach companies National Express and Megabus only allow folded bikes, while Stagecoach allows non-folding bikes on a limited number of services.
Airlines tend to permit bikes but usually require them to be packaged in a box or bag and often charge a fee.
But CTC chief executive Paul Tuohy argued dismantling the bike - including taking wheels off - would be "too difficult" for some riders.
He said: "There is nothing sustainable about this policy, as it actively discourages the people we want to see cycling more from using what is otherwise a fantastic service.
"For the new cyclist, or those who rely on cycling as a mobility aid, dismantling and reassembling a bike for transit is too difficult.
"With London, Paris and Brussels each vying to be top cycling cities, and Amsterdam, arguably Europe's cycling capital, due to join the Eurostar network in 2016, now is not the time to take a step back in cycle rail policy.
"Cyclists should not be treated as third-class passengers, and we urge Eurostar to reverse their planned policy."
The European Cyclists' Federation (ECF), which represents cycling bodies across the continent, described the new policy as "extremely inconvenient" in a letter to Eurostar chief executive Nicolas Petrovic.
The ECF added: "We understand that there is a limited space for baggage on the trains but it should be allocated on a first come, first served basis. We would therefore request that the current policy of allowing the carriage of complete bicycles is retained."
Rosemary Dooley, 68, from Kendal, Cumbria, who recently went to Portugal for a cycle holiday, said: "I have to take my own bike everywhere due to arthritis in my hands - hence small adaptations.
"I am also not mechanical but it seems now that I will have to learn to remove and replace the front wheel. I just hope it doesn't involve strong fingers."
CTC is urging members of the public concerned about the planned changes to write to the train operator.
A study commissioned by the European Parliament in 2012 found that there are 2.3 million cycle tourism trips in the EU every year.
Analysis of food trapped in the teeth of the two-million-year-old "southern ape" suggests it existed on a unique diet of forest fruits and other woodland plants.
The study, in
Nature
, gives an insight into the evolution of what could have been a direct human ancestor.
Other early African contemporaries had a diet suggesting a grassland habitat.
The first fossils of
Australopithecus sediba, discovered in South Africa in 2008, were hailed as a remarkable discovery.
Teeth from two individuals were analysed in the latest research, focussing on patterns of dental wear, carbon isotope data and plant fragments from dental tartar.
The evidence suggests the ape-like creature ate leaves, fruit, bark, wood and other forest vegetation.
Dr Amanda Henry of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, led the research.
"We've for the first time been able to put together three quite different methods for reconstructing diet and gotten one cohesive picture of the diet of this ancient species and that picture is really quite different from what we've seen in other hominins (human ancestors)," she said.
"That's exciting, we're seeing a lot more variation among these species than we'd expected."
Human ancestors from around this time period were probably exploring a wide variety of habitats.
Each species was finding its ecological niche a few hundred thousand years before the evolution of
Homo erectus, which spread out of Africa into many different habitats around the world, heralding a milestone in human evolution.
Dr Henry said
Australopithecus sediba walked on two legs but probably also spent time foraging in the trees.
"It was still quite primitive; it had a very small brain; it was quite short and it had fairly long arms but it was definitely related to us," she said.
Dr Louise Humphrey of the palaeontology department at London's
Natural History Museum
said there was debate about the position of
Australopithecus sediba in the human lineage.
"The question is, is this a great great granddad or grandma or is it a cousin?
"They were eating bark and woody substances, which is quite a unique dietary mechanism; it hasn't been reported for any other human relative before."
The animal may have eaten fruit and young leaves when food was plentiful, but turned to less nutritious food like bark when times were hard.
However, syrup beneath the bark may have provided a sugary treat.
Dr Henry said: "A lot of people have turned their nose at the idea of eating bark but I always think that what they're eating is probably not the coarse outer bark but potentially the softer inner bark where the sap is.
"And so if you think of maple syrup - it's the sap of maple trees - then it could have been quite a tasty substance."

Sanjeev Gupta, the head of the Liberty Group said he had "very encouraging" talks with the UK Government so far but there was still a lot of work to do.
Mr Gupta told the BBC he believed jobs at Port Talbot could be saved if at least 700 workers in its blast furnaces were retrained.
He now wants detailed talks with Tata and ministers.
It comes after the Welsh assembly was recalled to discuss the crisis on Monday.
UK Business Secretary Sajid Javid will travel to Mumbai on Tuesday to meet Tata chairman Cyrus Mistry to discuss details of the sales process for the firm's UK steel operations.
Mr Gupta, who flew back to the UK on Monday evening, said it was a complicated deal, with a lot of components to it, from pensions to other liabilities.
Tata's rolling mills and downstream businesses were relatively easier to tackle and he believed there was potential for expansion.
But he said the steel-making, heavy end of the business at Port Talbot was much tougher.
"The hot end is where we want to make the most dramatic changes," he said.
Mr Gupta said the idea was "we would look to transition from blast furnaces to arc furnaces, from imported raw material to domestically available scrap, from making carbon steel to making what we call green steel - melting and recycling scrap using renewable energy."
Mr Gupta talked about retraining the workforce and not making job losses but it would take time, while the building of arc furnaces to replace blast furnaces would take a year to 18 months.
"We've never undertaken anything which requires redundancies - I won't undertake something which will require mass redundancies," he said.
"We will look to see how we can reposition the workforce from blast furnaces to arc furnaces. It will require a lot of planning and execution and it cannot be done overnight but be planned over a number of years."
Liberty has a £3.5bn turnover with 2,000 workers worldwide. It already operates a steel plant in Newport and is in the process of taking over two Tata plants in Scotland.
Mr Gupta said the most fundamental thing was to secure the hot end.
"These blast furnaces were constructed when some of the raw material was available domestically in the UK and also when there was demand in world market.
"In this excess capacity world, plants based on domestic iron ore or coal are going to be more competitive than plants like Port Talbot.
"There are many issues which have to be addressed but they are all addressable."
Analysis by Sarah Dickins, BBC Wales economics correspondent
After a week when it has felt as if the UK steel industry is struggling to survive in a changing global world, it is interesting to hear Sanjeev Gupta say that six million tonnes of steel, presently imported into the UK, could competitively be made here.
Also that he will not undertake something that will require mass redundancies.
What Mr Gupta makes very clear is that if he were to be interested in Port Talbot, he would need to make big changes.
At the moment, the plant makes steel from raw materials, iron ore and coking coal, and uses the iconic blast furnaces that dominate the skyline.
Mr Gupta would want to change that and instead make what he called "green steel" - in other words make steel by melting and recycling scrap steel using an electric arc furnace and then rolling it into the steel coil we see on lorries along the M4 and on freight trains.
With this interview, we can begin to see one possible outcome: Liberty Steel could take over Port Talbot and the other Welsh plants and, with help from UK and Welsh governments, change the way it produces steel.
It is still very early days and all sides need to undertake vast amounts of research and planning.
But at the moment Liberty seems to be the most involved in taking over Tata in Wales and offers the most hope.
The number of people unemployed fell by 45,000 to 1.56 million in the three months to February, said the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Average weekly earnings including bonuses increased by 2.3%, the same as in the year to January.
On Tuesday, figures showed inflation was running at 2.3%, above the Bank of England's 2% target.
The ONS said average weekly earnings for employees rose by 2.3% including bonuses, and by 2.2% excluding bonuses, compared with a year earlier.
But adjusted for inflation, average weekly earnings increased by 0.2% including bonuses, and by just 0.1% excluding bonuses over the year. That was the slowest rate of growth since 2014.
ONS senior statistician David Freeman said: "A joint record employment rate and a new record high for the number of vacancies point to continued strength in the labour market. However, higher inflation, coupled with subdued earnings increases, means that the real growth rate in pay has tailed off to just above zero."
Wage increases are set to continue slowing. It is likely that next month, falling real incomes will be back with us for the first time since September 2014.
Britain's income squeeze is one of the most difficult political and economic issues facing the government.
Many will argue that an economy that works for everyone would not be expected to be one where people are worse off at the end of the year than they were at the beginning.

The number of people in work continued to increase - up by 39,000 on the latest quarter to 31.8 million, giving an employment rate of 74.6%, the joint highest since records began in 1971.
Work and Pensions Secretary Damian Green said: "More people are finding full-time jobs and average wages have grown yet again, meaning more families have the security of a regular wage."
However, Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said: "Households are being caught in a perfect storm of rising inflation and slowing labour income growth."
As inflation was expected to keep rising this year, the squeeze on consumers would intensify, said Andrew Sentance, senior economic adviser at PwC.
"Both the employment and wage figures therefore point to a slowdown in consumer spending, which is already apparent from the retail sales data for the early months of this year."
The unemployment rate is at its highest in the North East region at 6.4% and at its lowest in the South East at 3.4%.
Sterling rose slightly against the dollar to $1.2521 after the figures were released and hit a 12-day high versus the euro.
Sentinel-2B carries a large camera to image all land surfaces and coastal waters in visible and infrared light.
It joins an identical spacecraft, Sentinel-2A, already in orbit.
The duo will be flown on the same path but 180 degrees apart so that they can provide a complete map of Earth - clouds permitting - every five days.
The Sentinels constitute the space segment of the European Union's Copernicus environmental monitoring programme.
A suite of sensors is being lofted over the next few years to gather critical information on the state of the planet and to acquire the data needed to inform and enforce EU policies.
Applications range from urban planning and air-quality monitoring to tracking deforestation and glacier retreat.
Sentinels 2A and 2B are, in many senses, the centrepiece of this effort because their free and open picture resource will almost certainly find the widest use.
"To say they are the 'heartbeat' is a good way to describe them because they take the images that are most easily understandable," Josef Aschbacher, the director of Earth observation at the European Space Agency (Esa), told BBC News.
The lift-off aboard a Vega rocket occurred on cue at exactly 22:49 local time, Monday (01:49 GMT, 02:49 CET, Tuesday).
Ejection of the satellite happened about an hour later, roughly 775km above the Earth.
Controllers in Darmstadt, Germany, were waiting to pick up a signal and begin early operations.
"We will slowly acquire the reference orbit (786km altitude) over the next two weeks," explained Bianca Hoersch, Esa's mission manager for the Sentinel-2 spacecraft.
"Then we have the commissioning phase; that takes us to early June. At that point we should be producing lots of data, and after a short ramp-up, around the October timeframe, we should be in full constellation readiness."
The cameras on the Sentinel-2 pair are designed to see colour features as small as 10m across.
Together, they will be producing something like four terabytes of data daily. It is a prodigious volume that will lean on the assistance of a laser relay link.
For a 10-minute spell on each orbit, the spacecraft will each fire their images not down to Earth but higher into the sky, to a geostationary satellite that will then bounce them to the ground.
Thousands of users have registered to have access to the pictures. Downloading them from the various distributed servers has been made easier by chopping the "scenes" up into more manageable chunks.
"With Sentinel-1A, we had at the beginning huge products that were 8GB to 9GB per file, which were really hard to access and download," said Dr Hoersch.
"In September, we switched to single tiles, a product of 100km by 100km, and I think that has led to an explosion in data access. We've had 2.7 million products downloaded in the last two months."
Sentinels are designed to fly in pairs to shorten the revisit time to any one point on Earth.
Sentinel 1 is a radar platform and has its duo fully operational in orbit since last year. Sentinel 2 is the next to complete its pairing; Sentinel 3, which carries predominantly ocean sensors, should have an orbiting pair aloft come next year.
Sentinels 4 and 5, which study the atmosphere, and Sentinel 6, to measure ocean height, have no presence in orbit yet.
But even though the programme is still to complete its initial roll-out, the EU and Esa have already begun to discuss how to extend it.
In this future-scoping, Sentinel 7 is envisaged to be a constellation of satellites that monitors carbon dioxide; Sentinel 8 could be a thermal infrared sensor, useful for understanding phenomena such as drought; and Sentinel 9 might be polar mission, either to study the extent and thickness of ice surfaces or two provide better weather imaging and communications at high latitudes.
"But I should stress that all these candidate missions are a work in progress and will have to be consolidated through an extensive consultation process, both on the user side and on the technical side," said Dr Aschbacher.
"And we also have to put together a whole scheme, not just on content but but also in terms of cost and funding."

Though straw walls might be most readily linked to a story of pigs making questionable construction choices, the team behind these homes says the material could help to sustainably meet housing demand.
The homes are the result of an engineering research project led by the University of Bath.
The researchers worked with specialist architectural firm Modcell.
The team says this development should move building with straw from a niche technique for the ecologically minded to the wider market.
The houses, on a street of traditional brick-built homes in Bristol, are clad in brick to fit in with the surroundings. But their prefabricated walls are timber framed, filled with straw bales and encased in wooden boards.
Prof Pete Walker from the University of Bath, who led the project to develop and test this construction method, told BBC News: "I think there's a lot of misconception about using straw - stories about the three little pigs and the big bad wolf, concerns about fire resistance."
As part of this EU-funded project, Prof Walker and his colleagues have systematically tested and refined the technology - including testing its structural and weight-bearing properties, and its thermal insulation.
"Our testing over a number of years, and our research has demonstrated that it is a robust and safe form of construction."
He added that, since straw absorbs carbon dioxide as is grows, using it as a building material actually "locks carbon into the walls" of a building.
"They're also a very efficient insulator, so they should reduce energy bills by as much as 90% compared to other houses around this site," Prof Walker added.
Although these are not the first homes in the UK to be built using straw bales, they are the first to be built for any buyer on the open market.
Craig White, director of Modcell, the design firm involved in the project, explained: "Previously, you'd have a client in place, they knew they wanted a straw bale construction, and they would commission us to deliver that.
"These are the first ones being built speculatively, for the open market," he told the BBC.
"I think it's a very exciting time for this building technology.
"And the more we can build out of renewable materials like straw and timber, the less carbon will be in the atmosphere, so we can reduce climate change effects."
The gesture - ordered by President Francois Hollande - shows how this killing marks new ground in the war against jihadism.
There have been previous murders of French hostages in north and east Africa. Since 2010, nine have been killed by Islamists in Mali and Somalia.
But Herve Gourdel's is the most disturbing.
Partly that is because of the manner of his death: the cold-blooded beheading staged for the camera.
And partly it is because it feels like a step in a terrible chain of events, leading inexorably from horror to horror.
Across France, if one discounts the predictable pronouncements from officialdom, the reaction has been mostly one of numbed silence.
Even in Saint-Martin-Vesubie, the mountain village near Nice where Herve Gourdel lived, local people have reacted to journalists' questions in monosyllables.
They are not being rude. They just do not know how to express their horror and anger.
After the first French air raids on Islamic State (IS) a week ago - and then the group's explicit threat to target French nationals - the possibility that the war could move closer to home became suddenly tangible.
On Tuesday, the government issued a warning to the French - especially those living abroad - to be on their guard.
And then on Wednesday, Herve Gourdel was beheaded. Events moved so quickly that people are struggling to comprehend what it means.
For many in France, the murder is all the more shocking because Herve Gourdel was precisely the kind of person that they instinctively admire.
With his craggy, outdoor-philosopher looks; his independence; his love of mountains and photography; his love of travel and openness to other cultures; his attachment to roots and family - he represented a kind of idealised self-image for the French.
Journalists - who saw the original video in which he announced his capture - say he spoke with a quite uncanny calm, another cause for respect.
As President Hollande said, Herve Gourdel was killed for no other reason than that he was French.
And the French will see his death - more clearly perhaps than those of previous hostages - as a direct assault on the values they hold dear.
In Paris, the president has now called for security to be boosted on public transport and in public buildings.
The Vigipirate patrol system remains at its second-highest level, and soldiers are more visible around tourist spots and railway stations.
There is no outward display of fear. But deep down everyone knows France is entering a period of nervous uncertainty such as has not been seen for many years.
Britain is exposed in the same way, of course. It, too, is in the fight against Islamic State (though it has yet to launch air strikes) and it, too, has nationals who have joined the jihad.
But France feels in the grip of the unknown. The Middle East and North Africa have never felt so dangerous. And they have never felt so close. | As the National League for Democracy (NLD) prepares to take power in Myanmar the future for Muslims in the country is unclear.

Long queues snaked around Revolution Square in the capital Havana, where mourners filed past a picture of the late leader holding a rifle.
It is the first public commemorative event during the nine days of mourning declared after his death.
The mourning period will end after his ashes are laid to rest on Sunday.
Castro's ashes were expected to be on display at Revolution Square but have instead been kept elsewhere.
Some Cubans joined the queue before dawn to ensure they would be among the first to pay their respects.
Fifty-three year old Tania Jimenez, a mathematician, told the Associated Press news agency that "Fidel is everything to us, the soul of this country who gave everything, all his life".
Castro came to power in 1959 and ushered in a Communist revolution.
Supporters say he returned Cuba to the people and praise him for some of his social programmes, such as public health and education.
But critics call him a dictator, who led a government that did not tolerate opposition and dissent, accused of numerous human rights abuses.
A nine-storey-tall portrait of Castro towered above those queuing to pay their respects, many of whom carried their own favourite photographs of the late leader.
Simultaneous 21-gun salutes were fired to mark the beginning of the public commemoration in Havana and the south-eastern city of Santiago de Cuba, from where Castro launched the revolution in 1953.
It contrasted with the subdued atmosphere which had prevailed after the announcement of Castro's death.
With concerts and sports events cancelled, some Cubans gathered to discuss the news but they were muted and reflective, the BBC's Cuba correspondent Will Grant said.
With the public mourning now under way, thousands are expected to attend the memorial event on Monday and on Tuesday in Havana.
The place chosen is the memorial to Cuban independence hero Jose Marti located in the imposing Revolution Square.
Cuban officials said that mourners would sign "a solemn oath to comply with the concept of the Revolution expressed by our historic leader".
Revolution Square will also be the venue for a mass commemorative event expected to be attended by world leaders on Tuesday evening.
Bolivian President Evo Morales and Ecuadorean leader Rafael Correa, close allies of Cuba, have already confirmed their attendance and North Korea said it would send a delegation to the Caribbean island.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who praised Fidel Castro as a "true and loyal friend of Russia", will not attend.
US President-elect Donald Trump, who has called Castro "a brutal dictator", will not be attending either.
He threatened on Monday to "terminate" the US-Cuba thaw seen under Barack Obama if the Cuban government did not improve the "deal" on offer.
On Wednesday, the ashes will begin a 1,000km-long journey to Santiago de Cuba, retracing the route Castro took during the Cuban revolution, only in reverse.
His ashes will be laid to rest on Sunday in the city's Santa Ifigenia cemetery, which is also the resting place of Jose Marti. | Thousands of Cubans are paying their respects to the leader of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro, who died on Friday at the age of 90. | 38,135,021 | 698 | 36 | false |
A member of the public told police they were seen leaving a refrigerated lorry in Brockhurst Crescent, Walsall, close to junction 8 at about 15:15 BST.
Three people were arrested at the scene and three others were found nearby
The 36-year-old Romanian driver is being questioned on suspicion of facilitating illegal entry to the UK.
Two of the men arrested are believed to be Iranian, another is understood to be a 23-year-old Syrian, while two others are thought to be from Vietnam and aged in their mid-teens, West Midlands Police said.
A sixth man is currently being treated in hospital after being found with two broken ankles.
The six were held on suspicion of entering the country illegally and the driver will be questioned on suspicion of assisting illegal entry to the UK, West Midlands Police said.
The data was first released to relatives of passengers, who have been asking for greater transparency, before copies were also provided to media.
The document released on Tuesday comprises 47 pages of data, plus notes, from British firm Inmarsat.
Flight MH370 went missing on 8 March as it flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
There were 239 people, mostly Chinese nationals, on board. No trace of the aircraft has been found, nor any reason for its disappearance.
By Jonathan AmosScience correspondent, BBC News
The release document comprises long columns of numbers, including detail on the now famous "handshakes" when Inmarsat's ground network made connections with equipment on board the plane.
The last of these occurred at 00:19:38 UTC. It's a partial handshake, possibly the plane attempting to log back on to the network after a power interruption as the jet ran out of fuel.
The key numbers are the Burst Timing Offset (BTO) and the Burst Frequency Offset (BFO). The former is the time it takes for a signal sent from the ground network to reach the plane, be answered and return. It allows an arc of possible positions for the plane to be calculated.
The latter number describes the drift in the expected frequency of that signal. Combined with other data, it can be used to narrow the possible solutions on the arc.
The data is now open for scrutiny, but it would be a surprise if something new turns up. Independent teams have already assessed it and come to the same conclusion: MH370 lies somewhere far off the coast of western Australia.
The satellite data released includes the hourly "handshakes" between the plane and a communications satellite that led investigators to conclude that the plane ended its journey far off Australia.
"Inmarsat and the DCA have been working for the release of the data communication logsand the technical description of the analysis," Malaysia's civil aviation authority said in a statement.
BBC science correspondent Jonathan Amos says although the data is now open for scrutiny, it would be a surprise if something new turns up.
Independent teams have already assessed it and come to the same conclusion: MH370 lies somewhere far off the coast of western Australia, he says.
American Sarah Bajc, the partner of one of the passengers, told Reuters news agency that she did not think it would take this long for the data to be released.
"When we first asked for the data it was more than two months ago. I never dreamed it would be such an obstacle to overcome," she told Reuters news agency from Beijing.
Meanwhile, a sea-bed search for the missing plane is continuing in waters far west of the Australian city of Perth.
The robotic submarine Bluefin-21, on loan from the US, is still being operated off the Australian vessel Ocean Shield.
The Bluefin-21, which can identify objects by creating a sonar map of the sea floor, restarted its mission last week after experiencing technical problems.
It is expected to leave the search area on Wednesday and return to base on 31 May, said a previous statement from Australia's Joint Agency Coordination Centre, which is leading the search.
The Bluefin-21 completed the initial search of the area where acoustic signals thought to be from flight recorders were heard without finding anything concrete.
The Australian government is now preparing for a fresh deep-sea search using commercially-contracted equipment.
Laing, 23, is a free agent and has other offers after leaving Well, who recently loaned him to Notts County.

Caley Thistle, who have defender Josh Meekings out for two months following knee surgery, visit Celtic in Saturday's Scottish Cup tie before resuming their Premiership campaign away to Hearts on 18 February.
The Highlanders are three points adrift at the bottom of the division with 14 league games remaining.
"We go there [to Celtic Park] with no pressure - probably the only Premiership team without pressure," added Foran.
"Celtic are through in most people's minds. You're away from the stresses of the league campaign and the boys are looking forward to it.
"Given where we are in the league, it could be draining for some players. Some it will affect, some it won't. I had a go publicly last week and got the response I was after [in the 2-2 draw with Dundee].
"You've got to keep that mindset positive and your breaks will come.
"Celtic are playing with extra pressure on their shoulders going for the treble."
Piper Kevin Glover, of The Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland (2 SCOTS), marked the day near Camp Qargha.
Cpl Glover, from Palnackie, in Dumfries and Galloway, is on his third tour of Afghanistan.

The deployment is part of the UK's commitment to provide training to help the government and its own police service defend itself.
The Midsteeple Quarter project has been developed as a response to a string of shop closures.
Initial plans will be discussed at the Bakers Oven building on the town's High Street later this month.
Over two days on 15 and 16 November it will become a "project hub" for the venture and is seeking public input on how to take the scheme forward.
Matt Baker of community development trust The Stove Network said: "Dumfries has seen the closure of 18 businesses in the last four months, and Midsteeple Quarter is an urgent response to this.
"Without help, the situation is likely to get worse.
"This is a bold initiative that will see local people developing their own High Street as a contemporary living, working, socialising, learning and enterprising hub."
Education is to be a key battleground in May's Holyrood elections, with SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon also vowing to put it "front and centre".
Ms Dugdale said funding education "has to be a national priority again".
The Scottish Conservatives are also campaigning on the topic, calling for the creation of 10 "skills academies".
Ms Dugdale was the first of the party leaders to address the David Hume Institute on the subject of their vision for Scotland for the next five years.
She said investing in early-years education was "our most important economic policy", claiming education was an "easy target" for cuts after local authorities were squeezed in the recent draft budget.
The Scottish Labour leader said: "In Scotland today the hardship of austerity is felt by too many and ambition and aspiration is felt by too few. The OECD found the achievement gap between the most and least deprived growing in our schools.
"So I have proposed that we take radical action to change the way we fund education, so that achievement and opportunity are not determined by how much a child's parents earn.
"We would introduce a Fair Start Fund which follows every child from a poorer family to school. £1000 for every child from a poor background in primary school, £300 for every child from a poorer family in nursery school. By linking funding to children we would ensure that every school has an attainment fund equal to its needs."
Ms Dugdale's speech came on the same day as Ms Sturgeon announced £4m of funding to improve educational attainment in schools across Scotland.
The money, part of a £100m Attainment Scotland Fund announced last year, will be distributed between 57 schools to fund projects to improve literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing.
The first minister said: "I've made it perfectly clear that closing the attainment gap between Scotland's least and most deprived children is one of my key goals.
"We want teachers and pupils to get creative, be excited about learning and come up with imaginative approaches to it; to find out what works and share that with others.
"With education being key to the future of Scotland's children and in the future of Scotland's economic health, this is a wise investment."
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson picked the same day to announce an education policy of her own, calling for the creation of 10 new "skills academies"
The party has pledged an extra £60m to Scotland's colleges as part of its election platform, and wants to create 10,000 new apprenticeships by 2020.
Ms Davidson said: "Scotland has a desperate need for a more skilled workforce - yet in recent years we've seen college places cut and funding reduced.
"We need to value a vocational education at least as much as an academic one. The current imbalance is absurd and desperately needs to be addressed.
"We must do better. By bringing industry and government together, we can make Scotland the skills capital of Europe."
The Scottish Liberal Democrats have also singled out education as an important policy area, calling for a "pupil premium" to commit additional funding to students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Party leader Willie Rennie said Scotland's "once proud education system" had "slipped in world standing" under the SNP, adding: "Children and young people deserve a good quality education with nursery education and a pupil premium to give every child a chance of a good job."
The Scottish Greens said Scotland could have "a better education system that gives all young people the opportunities they deserve".
Children and young people spokeswoman Isla O'Reilly said: "Class sizes are the largest they've been since 2007, teachers are overworked and additional support-needs provision has been cut. Tackling these issues should be the priorities if we are to improve the chances of children from poorer backgrounds."
The proposals for the People's Market are due to be discussed by Wrexham Council on Wednesday.
The council said the arts centre would be twice the size of the former Oriel gallery, which was housed in the town centre library.
But Plaid Cymru's Carrie Harper said there were doubts over cost, funding of the project and the location.
"There is a need for an arts centre in the town and the examples we've seen of voluntary grassroots hubs such as Undegun and Galeri 3B in empty shops have been a welcome boost for the town's cultural life," she said.
"But doubts remain as to whether spending more than £4m on converting parts of the People's Market and adjoining car park into an arts hub is the best way forward.
"It appears to be more of an attempt to make use of an existing building rather than creative thinking and providing the best location for the arts to thrive."
Councillor Neil Rogers, lead member for economic development and regeneration, said in December the plans were part of a "wider strategy to support the regeneration of the town centre".
The project would be funded by the Welsh government, Arts Council of Wale and Wrexham Council.
The council will also hear an update on how the first year of a £10,5m regeneration programme has gone.
Firearms specialist PC Anthony Long did not act "lawfully when he opened fire" on Azelle Rodney, 24, in north London in April 2005, the Old Bailey was told.
Mr Long, 58 and from Surrey, denies the murder of Mr Rodney, who was hit by six of the shots and fatally injured.
Mr Long suspected the gang was en-route to an armed robbery, the jury heard.
Opening the case, prosecutor Max Hill QC said analysis of the shooting pieced together from footage of the operation - which was being filmed for training purposes -showed Mr Long opened fire six hundredths of a second after his vehicle pulled alongside the car Mr Rodney was in.
He told the jury the officer opened fire so quickly "he cannot have taken any time to observe anything happening" inside the suspects' car.
"The majority of those shots caused fatal injuries to Azelle Rodney, culminating in the final two shots which were fired into the top of Azelle Rodney's head," he said.
Armed officers had been authorised to use special tactics to arrest a gang they believed was on its way to commit an armed robbery on the evening of 30 April, the court heard.
Three police cars pursued and surrounded the VW Golf containing Mr Rodney and two other suspects, Wesley Lovell and Frank Graham.
Mr Long fired rapidly from the open window of an unmarked police car at the suspects' car when it came to a halt in Hale Lane, Mill Hill during the "hard stop".
Jurors were shown the video, filmed from police car behind Mr Long's vehicle, and heard an unidentified man, who was not PC Long, saying "Sweet as... sweet as... sweet as" as the shots were fired.
"The prosecution say that it was not necessary for Mr Long to open fire upon the Golf and Azelle Rodney," said Mr Hill.
"Therefore, we say, Mr Long was not acting lawfully when he opened fire.
"Mr Long's actions in deliberately killing Azelle Rodney, when it was not necessary to do so, make Mr Long guilty of murder," he said.
The prosecutor said he did not wish to "belittle the onerous duties" carried out by specialist firearms officers like Mr Long and his team, but that with those duties came "onerous responsibilities."
Mr Long, from Leatherhead, joined the police in 1975 and had 30 years' experience of handling weapons when he shot Mr Rodney, the jury heard.
Mr Hill said it was "imperative that firearms officers behaved professionally at all times and only took the extreme step of opening fire in public when absolutely necessary".
Mr Long who is now retired, was using a short-barrelled semi-automatic rifle and would have had to manually pull the trigger to fire a shot, the court heard.
The trial continues.
Mr Entwistle's decision to bring forward his appearance surfaced as MPs criticised the BBC.
Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman said the Savile abuse claims "cast a stain" on the corporation, but Culture Secretary Maria Miller dismissed calls for an independent inquiry.
Police believe Savile may have sexually abused 60 people since 1959.
Mr Entwistle had been due to appear in front of MPs later this year, but he offered to bring it forward to 23 October, said culture committee chairman John Whittingdale.
Mr Whittingdale said he was "sure" MPs would take Mr Entwistle up on his offer.
Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman told MPs that Savile's "exalted" status within the corporation allowed him to act with impunity.
She said: "Everyone has been sickened by the vile abuse perpetrated by Jimmy Savile. It's impossible to overstate the suffering he caused to those he abused.
"What has deepened the revulsion is that this happened at the BBC, an institution so loved and trusted it is known as Auntie. This has cast a stain on the BBC."
Mrs Miller told the Commons she was satisfied the corporation was taking the allegations "very seriously," saying the BBC had launched three reviews.
"The first will look particularly at the allegations with regard to the item on Savile which was inappropriately pulled from Newsnight," she said.
A spokesman for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport later clarified that Ms Miller had misread her statement and meant the inquiry would look into allegations the Savile investigation was inappropriately pulled.
Mrs Miller added that the BBC's second review - undertaken when the police advised it was appropriate to do so - would focus on Savile himself.
"And although the BBC's child protection policy was overhauled in 2002, the review will also focus on whether its policy is fit for purpose and what lessons can be learnt. That will be assisted by an independent expert," she added
A third review would look at wider allegations of sexual harassment at the corporation, Mrs Miller said.
"These are undoubtedly very serious matters that have wide-ranging implications for a number of public institutions, not just the BBC. It is now crucial we understand what went wrong and how it can be put right."
Mrs Miller was speaking in response to a question from Tory MP Rob Wilson, who said he had a "number of major concerns that the investigations announced by the BBC will not be sufficiently independent, transparent and robust to give the public confidence."
Mrs Miller said there was no need for a wider inquiry while the police investigation was going on. It was crucial detectives were allowed to continue their investigation "unfettered" by other inquiries, she said.
Meanwhile, Savile's youngest-known victim has spoken, a man who said he was abused after he appeared on his TV show Jim'll Fix It aged nine.
Kevin Cook told the BBC: "He led me off, we went down some corridors, through some doors, we went off to a really dingy dressing room.
"He took me in there and again asked me if I wanted my badge, which I said yes, and that's where it took place. He sat me down in a chair, he stood in front of me, and that's where he assaulted me."
In other developments on Monday:
Scotland Yard, which is co-ordinating the investigation, said it was following up 340 lines of inquiry on Savile and was in contact with 14 other police forces.
Police said the allegations spanned six decades, with reports up to and including 2006.
Savile, who presented Top of The Pops and Jim'll Fix It in the 1970s and 80s, died in October 2011, aged 84.
The Watford winger will be replaced in the Morocco squad for the Nations Cup by Omar El Kaddouri, the Morocco Football Federation confirmed on Saturday.
Amrabat, 29, limped off in the second half of last Sunday's 4-1 home loss to Tottenham and, after medical examinations, was ruled out of the tournament which starts on 14 January.
The 26-year-old Belgian-born El Kaddouri comes into coach Herve Renard's 23-man squad which was announced on Wednesday.
El Kaddouri has won 22 caps for Morocco, having first made his debut in 2013.

Coleman's deal ends after Euro 2016, the first major tournament Wales have qualified for since the 1958 World Cup.
The 45-year-old hopes to stay in charge for the bid to make the 2018 World Cup.
"It has to be right. I didn't expect the first negotiations to be, 'Great, is that it? Let's do it,' he said.
"It's not going to be like that. We are apart.
"But it wasn't disappointing because it's an important decision to go into the World Cup, for me and Wales.
Contract negotiations opened last Monday but no further talks between the FAW and their manager are scheduled, with Coleman in "game mode" for Wales' friendlies against Northern Ireland and Ukraine.
They host Northern Ireland in Cardiff on Thursday and travel to Ukraine four days later in their Euro 2016 build-up.
"All I can think about is Northern Ireland," said Coleman, a former Wales defender.
"The powers that be know me. They know I just want to get my head down with these two games.
"Once they have gone, then who knows? In the next one we could nail it. Ideally it will be done before we go to the tournament - but if we don't agree then it won't be done."
He added: "I hope everyone knows what it means to me to manage Wales and to do well in this tournament.
"I am not thinking about the World Cup campaign and I'm not thinking about my contract."
In the period from July to September, four boards hit the standard for getting at least 95% of suspected patients their first treatment within that time limit.
The national picture showed nine out of 10 patients (90%) started treatment within the 62 days.
This was a reduction on 92.1% in the previous quarter.
In the latest quarter, NHS Grampian, Highland, Orkney, Shetland, Tayside, Western Isles, Fife, Lothian, Ayrshire and Arran and Greater Glasgow and Clyde fell below the standard.
A second standard to ensure 95% of all patients wait a maximum 31 days from decision to treat to their first treatment was reached.
At 95.2%, it was a fall on the previous three months when it was 96.3%.
Scottish Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "It is vital that we treat cancer as quickly as possible and that's why we have set rigorous standards in this area.
"I am pleased to see that the 31-day standard continues to be met and that the average wait is only seven days once a decision has been made to treat.
"Over the last few years, cancer services have developed and improved significantly with more doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals and state-of-the-art equipment in all five of Scotland's cancer centres.
"Overall cancer death rates have dropped by 11% over the past 10 years and the overall cancer mortality rate for 2014 is the lowest over the past decade."
Ms Robison said the Scottish government was committed to publishing a new cancer strategy by spring 2016, which will include further investment in cancer services.

It was bequeathed to the university in 1864 by William Euing as part of his collection of about 3,000 Bibles.
Archivists now believe that a signature dated 1561, on the reverse of the title page, may have been penned by Knox.
The find was revealed in an article posted on the university's webpage by assistant librarian, Robert MacLean.
His article quotes leading Knox historian, Prof Jane Dawson, of Edinburgh University.
She states: "During his career and in common with most sixteenth-century figures, Knox used a variety of different signatures and writing styles.
"In such a Latin/Hebrew Old Testament he would have probably used the Latin abbreviation 'Jo.' of his Christian name, Joannes.
"The spelling of Knox with a second 'k' would also be unusual for him, though this was a variant used by his contemporaries."
Professor Dawson adds: "The signature in the Old Testament is in a formal style and has more in common with the signatures Knox employed in his earlier days acting as a notary.
"This makes it appear quite different from the flowing 'secretary' hand he commonly used when writing in English or Scots in the early 1560s.
"Although there is no match with Knox's known signatures, there is equally nothing to prevent this being Knox's book."
Pascal Mazurier, who was a consular official in the southern city of Bangalore, was arrested in 2012 after complaints from his Indian wife.
Mr Mazurier told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi that "justice had been done" and a "five year battle" had ended with the ruling.
His wife, Suja Jones Mazurier, has said she will appeal against the verdict.
She told an Indian television channel that his acquittal meant that her daughter "did not get justice".

Mr Mazurier said that he now intended to be a part of his children's lives.
"They are still young and they need to get the advice of their father. It is nowhere in my plans to abandon my children. I love them and they love me. What has been done by their mother is not their fault. So, I want to be there for them," he told the BBC.
The verdict was announced by a special fast track Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POSCO) court, which had examined 27 witnesses during the course of the trial.
Mr Mazurier was arrested and held in the crowded Parapanna Agrahara jail for three days, before being released on bail for 100,000 rupees ($1,548; £1,205).
He had spoken out against his arrest, insisting that he was innocent.
Genoa and Lazio were due to meet in an end-of-season final, but the match never took place because Italy entered World War One before it was played.
Genoa were awarded the title in 1919, but it may now be shared with Lazio.
"It is a legitimate Scudetto," said Lazio president Claudio Lotito.
"It was taken away from us by the war."
Italian media have said the original decision was based on the reasoning that Genoa were generally regarded as the better of the two teams.
More than 30,000 Lazio supporters signed the petition and the FIGC will announce on 4 August whether Lazio will share the title.
The couple made the announcement with a post on Mr Zuckerberg's Facebook page.
"Priscilla and I have some exciting news: we're expecting a baby girl!" he wrote to his 33 million followers.
In his post, the 31-year-old revealed that they had suffered three miscarriages previously, but added that the risk of miscarrying at this stage of the pregnancy was low.
He said that they had decided to share the experience to help others in a similar situation.
"We hope that sharing our experience will give more people the same hope we felt and will help more people feel comfortable sharing their stories.
"Most people don't discuss miscarriages because you worry your problems will distance you or reflect upon you - as if you're defective or did something to cause this. So you struggle on your own."
The Facebook founder also referenced the popular "like" feature on the social network.
"In our ultrasound, she even gave me a thumbs up 'like' with her hand, so I'm already convinced she takes after me," he wrote.
The post did not say when the baby was due.
Volkan Bozkir said changing anti-terror laws in Turkey would be impossible.
The EU insists that Turkey needs to narrow its definition of terrorism - as well as meet four other key criteria - to qualify for visa-free travel.
It is part of a larger agreement between the two sides aimed at easing Europe's migration crisis.
What is the Schengen agreement?
Turks look to EU to scrap visas
On Wednesday, Mr Bozkir told the BBC that his hopes of getting visa-free travel for Turkish nationals were "getting less and less".
He admitted that the negotiations had reached a crucial phase, stressing that Turkey had already done enough.
His comments came after a day of meetings with senior members of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
Last week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned the EU that Ankara would not change its anti-terror laws.
"We'll go our way, you go yours," he said.
The EU and rights groups have accused Ankara of using its broad anti-terror legislation to intimidate journalists and stifle dissent.
Ankara rejects this, saying it needs the laws to fight militant groups.
The visa-free deal is supposed to be in place by the end of June, but that timetable looks increasingly unlikely, the BBC's Jonathan Blake in Strasbourg reports.
The European Commission earlier this month said it was satisfied that the majority of the 72 conditions had been fulfilled by Turkey.
But the European Parliament is refusing to vote until all the criteria are met, our correspondent says.
The deal was offered in return for Turkey taking back migrants who crossed the Aegean Sea to Greece.
The EU fears that without it, Turkey will not control migration.
Turkey has threatened to stop taking back migrants from Greece if the EU fails to deliver on visa liberalisation.
The large influx of migrants and refugees arriving in Europe from Turkey, and from North Africa, has caused a political crisis among EU states.
Under the EU-Turkey agreement, migrants who have arrived illegally in Greece since 20 March are to be sent back to Turkey if they do not apply for asylum or if their claim is rejected.
For each Syrian migrant returned to Turkey, the EU is to take in another Syrian who has made a legitimate request.

A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.
The Rangers manager said his players were as irate as he was after the league leaders were described as "spineless" in newspapers.
They responded with a 4-2 win to move three points clear at the top of the Scottish Championship.
"There were lots of comments about us having no spine, which I think is hugely disrespectful to us," he said.
"I think they were ill-judged and totally inaccurate, but we used them yesterday.
''The media in Scotland is very different. I'd been warned about it but you get used to it very quickly. It is what it is but you have to deal with that.
''Criticism you expect, but when comments refer to you having no spine, you have to respond and we did it yesterday in front of a packed Ibrox.''
Rangers went into the game having dropped points to Livingston, Morton and Falkirk, and letting slip what had at one time been an 11-point lead over Alan Stubb's men.
Unlike some managers who claim not to read newspapers or be affected by what's written in them, Warburton admits sometimes he takes what he considers as unjustified criticism personally.
''You can't fail to read it," said Warburton. "95% of the time you can ignore it but sometimes when I think it's inappropriate you have to respond and use it to sharpen the focus and we did that yesterday.''
Warburton describes his squad as 'being in good shape', but said he is hoping to bring in players for the second half of the season when the transfer window opens in January.
''There are two or three targets we hope we can secure, but of we don't get them we won't just bring in others to bring in the numbers," he said.
''The work's been done weeks and weeks ago, but for want of a better phrase, it's a fluid market and it moves quickly, deals can be missed. But hopefully we've done our homework and we can land one or two.''
Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas won four awards, including worst picture and worst actor, at Saturday night's 35th Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony.
The tongue-in-cheek show, which celebrates movie-making mediocrity, took place a short walk from the venue for Sunday's Academy Awards.
Razzie winners, who rarely turn up, get a $4.79 gold-spray-painted trophy.
Saving Christmas won worst picture, worst actor, worst screenplay and worst screen combo - for former Growing Pains star Kirk Cameron "and his ego".
"This is a vanity project that Kirk Cameron put together," Razzie founder John Wilson told BBC Radio 5 live after the ceremony.
"It's about on the level of a super 8 movie from when I was a kid. It has no cinematic value at all."
He pointed out that the film was rated number one worst movie of all time on international movie database IMDB.com
Saving Christmas is also only one of two films last year to score a zero rating on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes.
The tag line on its film poster is "Put Christ back in Christmas".
Cameron Diaz was named worst actress for two comedies The Other Woman and Sex Tape.
The worst supporting actress prize went to Megan Fox for the reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction had led the field with seven nominations, but won only worst director and worst supporting actor for Kelsey Grammer.
Annie was named the worst remake, rip-off or sequel.
A new category - the Razzie Redeemer award - was introduced this year to reward a former Razzies target who has done good work in the past 12 months.
Ben Affleck was saluted in an online public vote for going from the much-panned Gigli to Oscar-winning Argo and Oscar-nominated Gone Girl.
His award was announced by real-life nun and veteran film critic Sister Rose Pacatte.
She told the audience: "We Catholic nuns are all about redemption."
The regular awards are chosen by 757 voting members in the US and abroad.
For the first time, the paying public were able to attend the irreverent ceremony - held this year at Hollywood's Montalban theatre.
The names have been engraved onto the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Memorial Aboretum and were dedicated and read out during a service attended by their families.
The Staffordshire memorial is the UK's tribute to the 16,000 men and women who have been killed on duty or as a result of terrorist action since 1948.
The ceremony began at 12:00 BST.

Hamilton was beaten into second place in the Bahrain Grand Prix as Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel took his second win in three races this season.
He said: "They are strong in race trim and we particularly struggle with the rear end. It's difficult to explain.
"They did a great job and we have to make improvements."
Hamilton is seven points behind Vettel after winning in China and securing two second places behind the German.
The three-time world champion added: "It is all small, fine percentages that will make the difference between winning and coming second."
Hamilton apologised to Mercedes for damaging his chances by earning a five-second penalty for deliberately slowing Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo as they pitted for fresh tyres under a safety car early in the race.
But he said he was not sure whether it cost him victory in a race he lost by 6.6 seconds, and in which Vettel said he was measuring his pace once he was in front.
"Possibly I would have been in a better position," Hamilton said, "but that's all ifs and buts."
The Englishman, 32, will get his next chance to overhaul Vettel at the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi later this month.
"I feel pain in my heart (when I don't win) and people will be like 'hey, you finished second, you should be happy', but that's not why we exist," said Hamilton.
"If anyone ever thinks that a driver, or I, should feel happy with second, I don't know what to say. That's not why we exist."
He added: "The disappointment is there and losing points for a team, when you could have won the race, is definitely painful, but I gave it everything I could.
"Ferrari did a great job, but we are going to push hard together - re-gather as a team - and come back fighting."
Vettel refused to be drawn into talk about a title challenge.
"I am not really looking at the championship," the four-time champion said.
"I am really enjoying the car. I was a bit down after qualifying because the gap to Mercedes was so big and we could have been a bit closer.
"But something inside me told me we had a good car and we can do well, so right from the first lap I felt the car was there and the Easter hunt was on.
"They were hiding some eggs but it looks as though we found them today."
Ferrari have bounced back this season from a winless 2016 to have arguably the fastest race car this season following a major change in regulations.
But they have missed out on pole position in all three races. In Bahrain, Hamilton and team-mate Valtteri Bottas gave Mercedes their first front-row lock-out of the season, with the Finn ahead on his first career pole position.
When it was suggested to him Ferrari had an advantage over Mercedes at this stage of the season, Vettel said: "Maybe at the moment but we still have lots of work ahead of us.
"The car is very good in the race but not quick enough to match them in qualifying.
"There is a lot of homework ahead of us but these kind of results certainly help. The people are very happy, they're passionate and full of energy to keep working harder."
He was one of the pioneers of in vitro fertilisation, known as IVF, alongside his colleague Dr Patrick Steptoe.
Sir Robert, who has died aged 87, was born in Batley outside Leeds in September 1925.
World War II and service in the British Army delayed his eventual emergence in the scientific world.
In 1951 he graduated from the University of Bangor in Wales and then completed his doctorate at the University of Edinburgh in 1955. It was at Edinburgh that he met his wife Ruth.
Around this time he began to work on the processes of fertilisation - that critical moment when a man's sperm and a woman's egg join to create new life.
Animal studies had shown that it was possible to fertilise an egg in a laboratory instead of inside the body.
The team of Dr Steptoe and Prof Edwards were trying to achieve the same results in people.
It took until 1968 for the first glimmers of success.
They fertilised an egg, which then began to develop and reached the blastocyst stage after five to six days.
Prof Edwards said: "I'll never forget the day I looked down the microscope and saw something funny in the cultures.
"I looked down the microscope and what I saw was a human blastocyst gazing up at me. I thought, 'We've done it'".
However, there would be another decade of trials and tribulations before the first test-tube baby.
Their work was refused funding by the UK's Medical Research Council in 1971 and they had to rely largely on private donations to continue their work.
It was also vigorously opposed by groups including the Catholic Church and scientists were concerned about abnormalities in any babies born through these procedures.
There were many failed attempts, the first pregnancy was ectopic, but one of the childless couples treated were Lesley Brown and her husband John.
They had been trying to conceive for nine years, but now she was pregnant.
The media storm was intense.
"We were concerned that she would lose the baby, the foetus, because the press were chasing Mrs Brown all over Bristol where she lived," said Prof Edwards in 2008.
"So, secretly Patrick Steptoe hid the mother in his car and drove her to his mother's house in Lincoln - the press didn't know where she was."
In 1978, at Oldham and District General Hospital, a tiny baby was introduced to the world.
The birth of Louise Brown, the first test tube baby, changed the world forever.
Being infertile was no longer a guaranteed barrier to having a child.
Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe would then set up the first IVF clinic - Bourn Hall in Cambridgeshire - in 1980.
The opposition to IVF lessened with time and the procedure is now commonplace.
By 2012, more than five million children had been born through assisted reproductive techniques around the world.
Dr Patrick Steptoe died in 1988.
It was a long wait for a Nobel Prize, which was awarded to Prof Edwards for medicine in 2010. A knighthood followed the year later.
He was one of the giants of science in the 20th Century and pioneered the techniques which have given children to millions of couples.
Misys is expecting to list its shares in London in November in a flotation that could value the company at £5.5bn.
The business hopes to raise £500m to pay down debt and for investment.
Its chief executive, Nadeem Syed, dismissed suggestions that now was a risky time to list its shares following Britain's vote to leave the EU.
Brexit could have a big impact on London's standing as a major important financial centres as well as banks' appetite for investing in new IT at a time of uncertainty.
But Mr Syed said that no more than 13% of its revenue comes from any one country and it counts 48 of the world's 50 largest banks as its customers.
He said changing regulation means the banking sector is investing in technology to manage risk and return more money to shareholders.
"The industry has gone through a shift," he told the BBC.
Misys cited figures from IDC, the market research group, that spending on software by banks could reach as much as $35.8bn by 2019.
Misys was delisted from the FTSE 250 in 2012 when it was bought by Vista Equity Partners.
With an estimated value of £5.5bn, Misys would be big enough to enter the FTSE 100 leading index of companies. However, it would have to wait until the next quarterly review of companies on the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 indices before it becomes a blue chip business.
It would be only the third technology in the FTSE 100 alongside Sage and Micro Focus.
It is rare that a company is big enough to be permitted to join the FTSE 100 straight away. The last business to do so was Glencore, the mining giant, which was valued at $59.2bn when it floated in London in 2011.
While Misys will be the biggest to float in London so far this year, following the initial public offerings of the likes of Clydesdale Bank and Metro Bank earlier in 2016, it could be dwarfed if Spain's Telefonica chooses to list the mobile operator O2. There is speculation that the business could be worth as much as £10bn.
Other companies such as GoCompare, PureGym, Hollywood Bowl and Biffa, the waste management group, all intend to list their shares in the near future.
Members of the EIS Further Education Lecturers' Association said no progress had been made to even out pay differences.
But Colleges Scotland said pay could not be separated from issues such as holiday entitlement.
The union wants the Scottish government to help to settle the dispute.
Lecturers began industrial action in March last year over claims that there were disparities of up to £10,000 a year in pay at different colleges.
Union bosses said lecturers did not want to strike but had been forced to by the refusal of management to honour an agreement reached more than a year ago.
After talks on Tuesday, Colleges Scotland said it had made three new proposals to the union but they were all rejected.
EIS general secretary Larry Flanagan said: "We welcome the fact that Colleges Scotland did, belatedly, agree to further talks today, following repeated requests from the EIS.
"While the EIS went into today's talks in good faith and eager to find a way to resolve this dispute, the lack of any significant movement from management meant that no agreement was reached in these discussions."
Mr Flanagan said: "The reality is that it is likely that the intervention of the Scottish government will be necessary to compel college management to meet their obligations to lecturers and students."
A spokesman for Colleges Scotland said: "The employers put forward three new proposals today in addition to the average pay increase of 9%. However, disappointingly, the EIS has rejected these.
"The EIS is so far unwilling to accept the terms the union signed up to last March, which was clearly about pay and conditions."
He added: "Our number one priority is ensuring that students are not affected by more disruption, and we urge the EIS to accept the very reasonable and fair offer that is on the table.
"We have offered to meet with the EIS again this week on Wednesday and Friday to continue talks."
The planned strike follows the first day of action on Thursday last week.
If the dispute is not settled, the union says members could be on strike three days a week later this month.
More talks are expected to take place on Wednesday afternoon.
Nicola Sturgeon made the claim in a speech to mark the first anniversary of the independence referendum.
It came as Mr Cameron outlined plans to guarantee the permanence of the devolved Scottish Parliament.
Scotland voted by 55% to 45% to remain in the UK in the referendum on 18 September of last year.
In a speech in Edinburgh, Ms Sturgeon said: "My message to David Cameron today is the same as it was when I met him just after the general election.
"What happens to support for independence in the months and years to come will depend as much on what you do as it will on what we do.
"And, right now, you are living on borrowed time.
"If you continue to ignore Scotland's voice, if you continue to disrespect the choice that people across this country made in May, more and more people will conclude that Westminster simply can't deliver for Scotland."
Mr Cameron said the result meant that "Scotland's majority" had spoken and that "more Scots voted to keep our kingdom united than have ever voted for any party in any election in Scottish history".
He added: "Alex Salmond, Nicola Sturgeon and I signed the Edinburgh Agreement which pledged we would all respect the outcome of last year's momentous vote.
"We all agreed - as do the Scottish public - that the independence referendum should be a 'once-in-a-generation' or a 'once-in-a-lifetime' event. So, now it is time to move on."
Nicola Sturgeon is not short of advice on this referendum anniversary day. It comes from a disparate range of people; not all of whom wish to see her party thrive.
Among the rivals, David Cameron reckons she should now shelve any thought of a second referendum. Mr Cameron suggests that the restless nation of Scotland will be placated by the powers in the Scotland Bill, once those are enacted, implemented and absorbed.
In which regard, the prime minister has promised to rewrite a section of the bill to guarantee the permanence of the Scottish Parliament. Under the new wording, it would take a referendum of the Scottish people before Holyrood's writ was removed.
For the avoidance of doubt, Mr Cameron is not contemplating such a referendum. Nor is he suggesting that Holyrood might usefully quit the scene.
UK government sources insist this measure was suggested by others - including the Scottish government - and they have responded. Similarly, we now expect amendments to be advanced by the Scottish Secretary David Mundell in an effort to clarify new welfare powers and the like.
Will these amendments content the Nationalist critics of the bill?
Read more.
The UK government will propose two amendments to the Scotland Bill on more devolved powers in order to guarantee the permanence of the Scottish Parliament.
The first will change the wording to put beyond doubt that the Scottish Parliament is a permanent part of the UK's political constitution.
The second amendment will state that the Scottish Parliament can only be abolished with the agreement of the Scottish people in a referendum.
Ms Sturgeon's pro-independence SNP has seen a huge surge in membership since last year's referendum.
The party also won an unprecedented 56 out of 59 Scottish seats in the UK general election, which also saw Mr Cameron's Conservatives win an overall majority in the House of Commons.
The first minister criticised proposals for further powers to be devolved to the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, which her party says do not go far enough.
That has led many people to believe a second referendum is likely to be held in the future.
Ms Sturgeon has said that the SNP's manifesto for next May's Holyrood election will set out its position on a second referendum and consider the circumstances in which it might be appropriate to propose one.
Speaking as independence supporters marched through Edinburgh to mark the anniversary, she said: "It would be wrong to propose another referendum without a fundamental change of circumstances or a strong indication that a significant number of those who voted 'No' last year had changed their minds.
"But it would also be wrong - in the face of a clear and material shift in circumstances or public opinion - for any one politician or party to rule out another referendum.
"Because the key principle is democracy. Politicians can propose and campaign. But only the people can decide.
"Only the people can decide if we will have another referendum. Only the people can decide when that will be. And only the people can decide if Scotland will become independent.
"And for those of us who want Scotland to be independent, that is our challenge."
Ms Sturgeon said that Conservative policies on issues such as austerity and Trident nuclear weapons, which are based in Scotland, were bringing independence closer.
Stating her belief that Scotland has "changed for good" as a result of the referendum, she argued that the people of Scotland "discovered our voice - and found that as a nation we could make the world listen".
She said: "Right now, what people see at Westminster is a Tory government failing to fully deliver on the vow it made on more powers for our parliament.
"They see a Tory government continuing to impose austerity on working people and the disabled - way beyond anything required to reduce the deficit and in spite of Scotland electing 56 anti-austerity MPs.
"And they see a government arrogantly pressing ahead with plans to renew Trident - at a cost of £100bn - before the House of Commons has even voted and while our public services suffer the pain of their cuts.
"And it is all of that, more than anything, that explains what we now see happening in the polls."
Scottish Labour's deputy leader, Alex Rowley, told BBC Scotland it had been a mistake for his party to campaign alongside the Conservatives as part of the Better Together campaign ahead of the referendum, and that the pro-UK side should have put forward a more positive message.
He told the Big Debate programme: "We tended to talk Scotland down. I'm as patriotic as anyone else, but I believe it is in Scotland's interests to remain a part of the United Kingdom but we need the powers that we believe should be in Scotland."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "It is unbelievable that with problems in the police, NHS and schools, the SNP want yet another referendum. The SNP government need to get on with the day job rather than plotting another referendum."
The amendments will be among a series of changes tabled by ministers before the Scotland Bill returns to the Commons for Report Stage next month. So far none of the opposition party amendments have been accepted during the bill's progress.
Downing Street won't say how many amendments will be tabled by the government, but a Number 10 source said: "It will be a bill that, to any reasonable observer, meets the Smith Commission recommendations in full and shows that Holyrood is here to stay."
The source indicated that the amendments would put "beyond doubt" other contested issues, among them the Ms Sturgeon's claim that the bill contains a veto for Westminster on welfare powers, which UK ministers insist it does not.
The government has indicated it is "unlikely" that ministers will accept a proposal put forward this week by Labour to assign 100% of VAT revenues to the Scottish government, rather than the 50% proposed in the bill.
Fassbender, who stars in the lead role, described the island as "cold, wet and beautiful".
Considine said some of the other members of the cast succumbed to hypothermia during the filming early last year.
He told the BBC at the film's Edinburgh premiere: "It got pretty bad there."
"A few people got hypothermia. We got hit by horizontal rain. It came and hit you sideways," added the actor who plays Banquo.
Fassebender said the production encountered "rain, sleet and snow - all the wetness of the elements".
Marion Cotillard, who plays Lady Macbeth, fell down a hole in a bog during filming.
Fassbender said: "One minute she was there, the next she was gone."
But the actor also said Skye was one of the most beautiful places he had been lucky enough to visit.
Other actors have told of encounters with Scotland's weather.
Actress Scarlett Johansson described shooting scenes for Under the Skin in Scotland as "brutal, cold and wet".
Some of the filming for the science fiction movie was done in Glencoe in November 2011.
Based on a novel of the same name by Highlands-based author Michel Faber, scenes were also shot in Glasgow.
And Noel Clarke said he suffered frostbite while filming for Centurion, which also starred Fassbender, in the Cairngorms.
He said was checked by a member of the shoot's medical team and was found to have the early stages of the condition.
An inspection by the watchdog last month rated the authority's children's services as "inadequate".
The new report said management had not sufficiently understood the failures or been effective in making improvements.
Rotherham Council said it "fully accepted" the findings of the report.
Ofsted's verdict comes after the Jay Report, published in August, revealed up to 1,400 children were sexually abused in the town between 1997 and 2013.
Ofsted itself was criticised by MPs on Tuesday for not carrying out effective inspections in Rotherham over the period covered by the Jay Report.
In response, the watchdog said it had now introduced a "more rigorous inspection framework".
Its new report, published earlier, covered an inspection between 16 September and 8 October.
Inspectors found children's welfare had not been safeguarded and police and social workers still did not work together properly.
"This means that key information held by other agencies may not be taken into account, and potential risks to children may not be considered," said the report.
Council leader Paul Lakin said keeping children safe remained the authority's highest priority.
"We are sorry that we have let them down in the past, but we know that apologies simply aren't enough," he said.
"We are determined and committed to addressing all the issues raised in this report, and must demonstrate that we are doing so, if we are to rebuild trust and confidence in our services."
The report also slammed the Local Safeguarding Children Board for its response to the Jay Report.
"Findings have led to much activity, but this has been ineffectively coordinated, with insufficient integration of effort - the pace of change has been too slow."
Steve Ashley, independent chairman of the board, said: "This is a further example of where collectively agencies could have done better for children, young people and families.
"The board partners were already aware of many of the issues raised in the report and are already working hard together to address these."
A separate Ofsted report, published earlier, said local authorities across England were failing vulnerable children at risk of sexual exploitation.
Lee Parker, 33, of Britton Gardens in Kingswood, Bristol, inflicted "fatal and terrible" injuries on Aya Parker, Bristol Crown Court was told.
The court heard her skull was fractured in several places and paramedics were unable to revive her.
Parker pleaded guilty and sentencing is due to take place on Tuesday.
Richard Smith QC, prosecuting, said that although Parker and Aya's mother were separated, he had agreed to look after the baby while his former partner went out to dinner with her new boyfriend and his parents.
The separated couple had shared a glass of wine before she went out at 15:00 GMT.
"During the course of the afternoon and evening, Lee Parker was drinking, and potentially taking drugs," he added.
"We know Aya was happy at 3.15pm and still apparently so at 6pm because there were photos on Parker's mobile phone.
"Between then and 1am, he inflicted fatal and terrible injuries."
The court heard Parker consumed two bottles of red wine and one third of a bottle of vodka during the afternoon and evening.
Toxicology tests also showed he had used cannabis and cocaine in that 24-hour period.
But by the time he called the emergency services, "something catastrophic" had happened, Mr Smith said.
A post-mortem on Aya revealed fractures to the side and top of her skull, including one that was 8cm long.
An X-ray also confirmed a fractured jaw which had happened 2-4 hours prior to her death.
Mr Smith said it was believed Aya's head was hit against the bathroom door or wall as there was damage to both and she had injuries in keeping with being gripped.
Mr Smith said: "Parker said he had woken up to find Aya not breathing and had not done anything to her."
Dean Armstrong QC, defending, said that since the death of both of Parker's parents in 2013, his life had taken a downward spiral and alcohol and drugs had become normal.
He said: "He can offer no explanation or has no memory of what happened.
"He accepts he'd been drinking and that he was responsible for his daughter's death and accepts he phoned 999.
"He hopes his guilty plea will help the family in their grieving process."
The 17-year-old tried to travel to Syria last year with Adel Kermiche, French and Swiss media say.
The unnamed teenager was reportedly arrested in Geneva earlier this month and handed over to French authorities.
Days later, on Tuesday, his friend Kermiche went on to kill Father Jacques Hamel in his church near Rouen.

The news of the detention of a close friend of Kermiche, who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group in a video, comes at a time when French intelligence services are under close scrutiny.
Reports in Le Parisien and the Tribune de Geneve newspapers said it was not known why the 17-year-old, from northern France, went to Geneva earlier this month.
He had already tried to fly with Kermiche to Syria via Switzerland last year. Both were turned back from Turkey.
In the latest development, Swiss security services picked up the teenager, and another friend, on 20 July and handed them over to French authorities.
A source told AFP news agency that "nothing suggests he was in any way implicated" in the church attack on 26 July.
After trying to leave to Syria, Kermiche was released with a monitoring tag earlier this year, despite prosecutors' call for his continued detention.
Kermiche and the other attacker, Abdel Malik Petitjean, were shot dead by police outside the church in St-Etienne-du-Rouvray.
They had slit the throat of Fr Hamel, 86, and taken hostages during Mass.

A French parliamentary report on 5 July called for a major revamp of the intelligence services, after an analysis of last year's Paris attacks which killed 147 people.
The head of the inquiry, judge and politician Georges Fenech, said French intelligence was aware of the jihadists before the attacks, but the services had failed to exchange information about them.
Tributes have been paid to a pioneer of the Scottish ski industry.
Philip Rankin, who has died at his home in Ballachulish at the age of 99, led the construction of Scotland's first ski tow in Glen Coe in the 1950s.
He and fellow engineers at the Clyde shipyard in Glasgow where he worked used scrap metal to build it.
Mr Rankin's enthusiasm for skiing was encouraged by a doctor who treated him for injuries he suffered as a Spitfire pilot in World War Two.
He was shot down by a German bomber and his fighter plane crashed into the North Sea in 1942.
A Canadian doctor at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, encouraged Mr Rankin's enthusiasm for skiing, saying that the pursuit would aid his recovery from his wounds.
But Mr Rankin, who died on Sunday, almost a month before his 100th birthday, took his interest in skiing beyond just doing it to establishing ski runs high up on the slopes of the mountain Meall a'Bhuiridh.
Parts of the infrastructure he helped to construct 60 years ago remains in working order today, including what is believed to be the world's oldest single person ski lift.
Andy Meldurm, owner of Glencoe Mountain snowsports centre, described Mr Rankin's achievements as "remarkable".
He said: "Not only did Philip Rankin and the others build the first lift, they identified exactly the right places where there would be snow for skiing.
"Scotland's snowsports industry has much to be grateful for for Philip's vision 60 years ago."
Mr Meldrum, who took over the snowsports centre in Glen Coe more than seven years ago, first met Mr Rankin when the former fighter pilot was 94.
"He came along for the launch of our new avalanche transceiver park. He was still a very active man and wanted to walk up the hill," said Mr Meldrum.
"After that was regular visitor to the centre."
Rankin's Return, a new ski run created in honour of Mr Rankin was opened this year at Glencoe Mountain.
Snowsport Scotland, an organisation that promotes skiing and snowboarding, awarded a lifetime achievement award to Mr Rankin in November last year.
It said: "It is with deep regret and profound sadness that we announce the passing away of a valued member of the snowsport community Philip Rankin at the age of 99.
"Philip Rankin was a founding force of the mechanised uplift in Scotland and passed away in the comfort of his own home.
"Philip was extremely grateful after receiving the Snowsport Scotland Lifetime award in November.
"Our thoughts go out to all his friends and family at this sad time."
The man, 72, and his 71-year-old wife have not been named.
An investigation was launched after a suitcase with some of the woman's body parts was found by a man walking near Traunsee lake on Sunday.
A day later, the German man's body was found in 5m (15ft) of water, with his wrists weighed down by bags of stones.
Investigators on Tuesday said the head of his wife, encased in concrete, was found near the man's body in the lake near the town of Gmunden, 80km (50 miles) east of Salzburg.
The couple were reported to be from Frankfurt.
Authorities believe the woman was strangled sometime between 25 December and 1 January but have not confirmed when the drowning occurred.
They believe he put her body parts in two suitcases. The second was found later on Sunday by a police dog.
The man's body showed no signs of a struggle, leading state prosecutor Birgit Ahamer to say: "We believe first and foremost that [the man's death] was suicide."
The bags tied to his hands contained personal belongings as well as rocks.
In Pearson's absence Chris Powell took charge of the Rams, who led thanks to Tom Ince's low second-half strike.
Nick Blackman scored with a penalty after he was tripped by Matt Connolly, who was sent off for the foul.
Victory lifts Derby up to 20th in the table, with Cardiff taking their place in the relegation zone.
Derby's players were only told about Pearson's suspension three hours before kick-off in south Wales, and the news made for a sense of bemusement inside the Cardiff City Stadium.
Although the visitors enjoyed more possession, Cardiff had the better chances in a low-key first half, the best falling to Sean Morrison, whose free header was well saved by Scott Carson.
Derby improved after the break and took a deserved lead when Ince fired past Cardiff's scrambling defence to score what was only the Rams' fourth goal in 10 Championship matches this season.
The Bluebirds' fate was sealed when Connolly saw red for tripping Blackman and denying him a scoring opportunity, with the Derby substitute calmly converting the spot-kick himself to condemn Cardiff to a sixth defeat from 10 league games.

Exercise is known to release proteins that can boost the part of the brain related to memory, and this study suggests the timing of it is crucial.
The study, in Current Biology, tested 72 people on their memory recall.
And it found exercising a few hours after learning was more effective than immediately afterwards.
After spending 40 minutes on a learning task, the 72 people were split into groups:
The activity consisted of 35 minutes' vigorous exercise on an exercise bike.
When they were all tested on how much they had remembered two days later, the second group performed best.
Brain images using MRI showed this group's activity patters in the hippocampus - which is connected to learning and memory - were sharper.
It is thought the chemical compounds produced in the body by physical exercise, including dopamine and norepinephrine, can help to improve memory.
Guillen Fernandez, lead researcher, from the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, in the Netherlands, said: "Our results suggest that appropriately timed physical exercise can improve long-term memory and highlight the potential of exercise as an intervention in education and clinical settings."
He added that exercise was particularly effective for consolidating weak memories.
But it was not clear why delayed exercise had a positive effect on long-term memory.
And the research team will now study the timing of exercise and its influence on learning and memory.
Barker, 22, will team up with Ellie Dickinson for the first time in the madison and is happy with the pairing.
"We have found it quite easy to get along. We've been practising a lot back home in Manchester," she said.
"We're both a similar size, similar weight, so it makes swinging each other in really easy."
She told BBC Wales Sport: "Ellie is really good and really fast so I've got a lot of confidence that we can get a decent result out here."
Barker is confident about her chances of winning medal in the scratch race too after clinching gold in Alpendoorn in November 2016.
"It's the first big international bunch race that I've ever won so that's exciting, hopefully I can win my second won this weekend," Barker added.
"We've got a pretty young team at the moment so I don't feel like there is too much pressure, certainly not on myself.
"I'm trying some new things that I've not been specifically training for, It's all relatively new to focus on bunch racing events, so I'm enjoying the differences in training."
Barker's two races are only ten minutes apart but she is aware there will be a lot of athletes in the same situation.
"It's going to be pretty difficult but I think there will be a lot of people in the same situation," Barker said.
The three Humboldt penguin chicks are said to be doing well and keepers are confident more are due to start hatching out over the coming weeks.
Originally from South America, the breed is normally found around coastal areas of Peru and Chile.
Longleat is home to a colony of captive-bred Humboldts who live on its Penguin Island.
Keeper Lucy Jacobmeyer said: "Although they are all first-time parents, the adults are doing incredibly well. Parents Paula and Nick are looking after two chicks and Eusebir and Princess have one chick.
"Apart from taking them out to check their weight we have very much left them to get on with things and they are coping brilliantly."
Humboldt penguins are now officially listed as 'vulnerable' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature which means they are at immediate or imminent risk of becoming endangered. | Six people, thought to be illegal immigrants, are being questioned after several people were spotted jumping out of a lorry next to the M6 on Tuesday.

In a report to Highland councillors, officers said there was a desire to begin repair work well before the anniversary in 2014.
However, the officials said grant aid would be needed to help cover costs.
The council is responsible for 165 memorials and the cost of repairs has been estimated at £250,000.
Re-lettering names on memorials is expected to require the most money.
Lists of names on the Highland monuments can run to a handful in some places to covering eight plaques in others.
In the paper, officers said: "War memorials aim to keep alive the memory of those in our society and local communities who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
"They stand at the heart of almost every community throughout the Highlands, where the numbers lost were disproportionate to most of the rest of the United Kingdom."

But the officials go on to warn: "The current allocation for maintaining war memorials is insufficient to carry out this level of work, especially in a situation where work is likely to be required on a significant number of war memorials to bring them up to the appropriate standard."
Highland's transport, environmental and community services committee will consider the report on Thursday.
In June, the local authority said the names of military personnel killed in conflicts since the end of World War II would be added to a war memorial in Inverness.
Royal British Legion Scotland's Inverness Branch and Highland Council asked families in the city and surrounding area to provide details.
The names will be added to the Cavell Gardens War Memorial.
The memorial on a bank of the River Ness recalls those killed in the two world wars.
With a 10m (33ft) high red sandstone Celtic cross, the memorial was unveiled in 1922.
According to Gaelic heritage website Am Baile, one in seven men in Inverness parish died while serving in the forces during World War I from 1914-18.
Cavell Gardens were named after Edith Cavell, a nurse who helped French and British soldiers to flee to Holland during the war.

Firefighters and paramedics were called to Fredrick Road in Gorleston, Norfolk, at 11:00 GMT amid reports of the blast.
A man in his 50s and a woman in her 40s were treated for burns to their arms, upper bodies and face.
Three fire engines and a search and rescue team were called to the scene. An investigation is now underway, the fire service said.
Norfolk deputy fire officer Roy Harold said the building was unsafe and "literally coming apart at the seams".
It was too early to identify a cause of the explosion, he said.
The man and woman, who were taken to nearby James Paget Hospital, were not thought to have suffered life-threatening injuries, he added.
Local resident Kim Aeger said she thought a lorry had crashed on the nearby main road when she heard the explosion.
"I heard a woman screaming," she said.
"I saw her and a man with burns so we called an ambulance.
"The woman was concerned about her cat and a lizard still in the house.
"The whole side of the building had gone and there was a strong smell of gas.
"The wall had collapsed onto the drive next to the house and had damaged a car parked there."
Andrew Warren, 56, and his alleged accomplice, American Prof Wyndham Lathem, 42, have been urged to turn themselves in by police.
Restrictions are in place to prevent the pair leaving the country.
Trenton Cornell-Duranleau was found dead in Prof Lathem's flat on 27 July.
Officers say the victim, a hairdresser who lived in Chicago, was found with multiple stab wounds in the 10th floor apartment.
Andrew Warren is a senior treasury assistant at Oxford's Somerville College.
Court files give his address as the Oxford college but he says on Facebook that he lives in Swindon, Wiltshire, and is a former cashier and driver for Stagecoach.
Wyndham Lathem is a microbiology professor at Northwestern University in Illinois, who specialises in the bacteria that caused the bubonic plague.
According to the Times, the pair met online.
A Thames Valley Police spokesman said Mr Warren was reported missing on 25 July having left the UK the day before.
US police warned that the suspects were believed to be "armed and dangerous".
"We do have an idea of their whereabouts and efforts to locate them are only intensifying from here on in," a spokesman said.
"Our primary focus is to facilitate a safe surrender and we strongly encourage Professor Lathem and Mr Warren to do the right thing."
It is thought the pair have left Chicago.
Oxford University said it had been in contact with police in the UK about Mr Warren and was "ready to help the US investigating authorities in any way they need".
The statement added: "Andrew Warren's colleagues at Somerville College have now all been informed and are shocked to learn of the case.
"Whatever the circumstances, we would urge him to contact the US authorities as soon as possible, in the best interests of everyone concerned."

The Spaniard, 34, won his second title in 2006 with Renault and has come close three times since - in 2007 with McLaren and 2010 and 2012 with Ferrari.
Asked on Spanish radio if he thought he could be champion again, he said: "Yes, I think so.
"I compete to win. If there was no chance, I wouldn't do it."
McLaren racing director Eric Boullier has predicted the team will make "massive progress" in 2016.
Alonso, whose best result last year was fifth place in Hungary, said: "I do not think we are far from achieving a podium.
"I would be surprised if we managed it at the start of the season, because in the first few races not everything will be in place."
He said his feelings for the 2016 car were "good", adding: "When everything is in place, we will make a very big improvements."
But he said Mercedes are still ahead of everyone else.
Asked about the Honda engine's performance compared to that of Mercedes, the Spaniard said: "We will certainly have less power, between 30 and 80bhp, but not 200, no."
Alonso said he had "never considered either retiring or taking a year out", adding that this was "unthinkable".
This is a direct contradiction of remarks by McLaren chairman Ron Dennis, who said at the final race of last season that the idea of a sabbatical for Alonso had been discussed at one point in 2015.
Alonso believes McLaren are the only team who could ultimately beat Mercedes but said: "We are starting a project and we are still some way off."
He said he had "never regretted" leaving Ferrari at the end of 2014, despite the team's upturn in fortunes.
Alonso's replacement, four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel, won three races in 2015 to finish third in the standings.
"I was offered to renew until 2019 and did not want to take it up," said Alonso. "I would never have been world champion there. Now I enjoy Formula 1 more being 10 positions further behind."
Almost 20,000 candidates are running for more than 11,000 posts on nine levels of government, and results are expected in the next few hours.
Critics say the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) party is too close to China, while its supporters say Taiwan needs good relations with its powerful neighbour.
China sees Taiwan as a renegade province which it should re-unite with.
China and Taiwan have been ruled separately since the end of a civil war in 1949.
Results are expected in the next few hours. More than 18 million eligible voters were registered to vote, choosing from among 20,000 candidates are running for more than 11,000 positions.
The posts being contested in the elections include city mayors, councillors and magistrates.
The KMT currently holds the presidency, a legislative majority, and most of Taiwan's cities and counties, although recent opinion polls have suggested that it risks losing its traditional strongholds such as Taipei and Taichung.
Some voters fear that if the KMT is allowed to continue building strong ties with China, Taiwan may become too economically dependent on the mainland and vulnerable to its pressures to reunify one day, the BBC's Cindy Sui in Taipei reports.
They distrust the KMT, regardless of whether the deals signed with Beijing are good for Taiwan, our correspondent says.
KMT supporters, on the other hand, feel that Taiwan needs good relations with its biggest trade partner to breathe new life into the island's ailing economy.
They fear a victory by the opposition DPP party could cause relations with China and Taiwan's economy to regress, our correspondent says.
The DPP supports Taiwan's formal independence from China, something Beijing strongly opposes.
In 2016, Taiwan will hold the more important presidential and legislative polls.
Taiwan only began allowing truly democratic elections - with opposition party candidates and universal suffrage - in the late 1980s.
Police said they were called to Bentley Avenue in Jaywick at 06:40 GMT, where the man's body was found.

The new holding company will pay UK tax on the royalties the firm receives outside the US.
McDonald's said it had chosen the UK due to the "significant number of staff" it has in London.
The Luxembourg tax affairs of the burger giant are currently under formal investigation by the European Commission.
McDonald's said that the holding company would have "responsibility for the majority of the royalties received from licensing the company's global intellectual property rights outside the US".
Simon Jack: Why did McDonald's flip out of Luxembourg?
Kamal Ahmed: Theresa May's post-Brexit economy test
A McDonald's spokesman said the shift in the tax domicile for its non-US operations was not to do with obtaining a better rate of corporation tax, but was more to do with making its operations more efficient.
"This unified structure will be administratively simpler and will reduce expenses and enhance flexibility," the firm said.
Prime Minister Theresa May's official spokeswoman said: "We welcome continued investment from companies around the world into the UK, particularly where that's securing growth and increasing jobs."
The office in Luxembourg will remain responsible for the restaurants in that country, but "other functions will transfer to the new UK-based holding company," McDonald's said.
On Tuesday, the European Commission began a formal investigation of Luxembourg's tax deal with McDonald's.
The Commission's preliminary view is that the deal may have breached European state aid rules.
It said that since two tax rulings given by Luxembourg in 2009, a McDonald's subsidiary had effectively paid no corporation tax, despite recording substantial profits - for example, of more than €250m (£210m) in 2013.
Heather Self, a tax expert at law firm Pinsent Masons, told the BBC that European Commission investigations into corporations' tax affairs were starting to make life more difficult.
"It's getting increasingly difficult to maintain very low tax structures around Europe," she said.
Companies were also "deciding it's no longer worth the hassle and the risk" of using low-tax arrangements due to work by the OECD on "base erosion and profit shifting" - or corporate tax avoidance, according to Ms Self.
Governments are being encouraged to adopt the OECD proposals to stop companies dodging tax.
The UK could be attractive to McDonalds as it has a relatively low rate of corporation tax and a pool of highly-skilled potential employees, she added.
The UK's corporate tax rate is 20% and the government plans to cut it to 17% by 2020.
The Republic of Ireland, which has attracted US multi-nationals such as Apple, has a corporate tax rate of 12.5%.
Today, wine remains an important part of both the Georgian economy, and the Caucasus nation's sense of identity, with thousands of winemakers together typically producing more than 100 million bottles a year.
Back on 27 June, many corks were popped for a celebratory drink when crowds of people took to the streets of the capital Tbilisi to celebrate Georgia signing a free trade agreement with the European Union.
The deal means that from 1 September, Georgian produce and products which meet EU standards will no longer be liable for tariffs when imported by EU member states.
For Georgia's winemakers, predominantly family-run businesses, their wines should become more widely available in Europe - and at slightly reduced prices.
"It means that we will be on equal level with other competitors," says Irakli Cholobargia, head of marketing for the Georgian government's National Wine Agency (NWA).
The NWA calculates that EU importers of its wine had to pay a total 367,823 euros ($488,109; £294,421) in tariffs last year, which will soon be removed.
Malkhaz Jakeli, who runs the Jakeli winery in Georgia's Kakheti region, says that thanks to the free trade agreement he expects to boost exports to the EU.
"I think it will be easier for importers in the EU [without the tariffs]," he says.
He also says that increased sales to the EU will inevitably boost the quality of Georgian wine, as winemakers have to compete more with producers from other countries.
For Georgia's wine producers, the opening up of the EU market will also give them a stronger insurance policy against any future problems with their largest export market - Russia.
Russia has traditionally always been the biggest buyer of Georgian wine, but exports stopped overnight in back in 2006 when Moscow introduced a ban.
More than 400 different indigenous grape varieties - a greater diversity than any other country
The wines were traditionally fermented in large clay jars called kvevri, which were placed underground over winter
In terms of volume, it is the second largest wine producer in the former Soviet Union after Moldova
All types of wines are made - white, red, rose, sweet, sparkling, fortified
There are 18 main wine-producing areas
The Kremlin said the embargo on Georgian wine was due to quality concerns, but it was widely seen as a political move, as a means for punishing the then Georgian government for making overtures to join Nato.
Matters were not helped - to say the least - two years later when Georgia and Russia fought a short war after Georgian troops invaded the Russian-backed breakaway region of South Ossetia.
Russian imports of Georgian wine did not eventually resume until 2013, seven years after the ban started.
While Russia is now once again importing Georgian wine in vast quantities - 17 million bottles in the first six months of this year, 66% of total exports during the period - Georgia wants to build up other markets.
For although there is now hesitant consensus that Georgia is unlikely to see any immediate backlash from Russia for signing the EU free trade agreement, some Georgians remain concerned that Russian barriers could go up again in the future.
NWA chairman Levan Davitashvili says: "We want to diversify our market structure. We have to be less dependent on Russia."
The biggest EU importers of Georgian wine are Poland and the Baltic states, and those countries are where Mr Davitashvili is hopeful of seeing a big rise in sales.
By contrast, he does not expect to see increased penetration in western Europe, because he says "the space is already occupied" by wine produced within the EU.
However, Eric Livny, an economist at Tbilisi State University, says most Georgian wine producers will continue to focus on Russia, because of the enduring popularity of Georgian wine among Russian consumers.
"Georgian wine exports go to Russia with very little effort... simply because Georgia has an established brand in Russia. In Europe it's an uphill battle."
In the wider agricultural sector, which accounts for half of Georgia's labour market, and is again dominated by family run farms, there are both hopes and concerns about the implications of the EU deal.
Nino Zambakhidze, chairman of the Georgian Farmers Association, a group of 900 farmers from across the country, says some members are concerned about the costs of getting the internationally-recognised quality certification which is required before they can start exporting to the EU.
Yet she says the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
"If we deliver proper information and messages to the farmers, and at the same time, if a lot of business-orientated people move to rural regions in order to make businesses and work with farmers, it's going to give us the opportunity to enter the EU market without any problem," says Ms Zambakhidze.
"The most important thing we'll get from the EU is their education, and the new technologies that the EU uses with their farmers."
Ms Zambakhidze is herself also hoping to start exporting to the EU from next year in her day job as co-owner of the Tsnisi Dairy Plant, near the city of Akhaltsikhe.
The dairy currently produces 500kg (1,100lb) of Georgian cheese per day.
Another Georgian small businessman with his eyes firmly on exports to the EU is Irakli Partsvania, who is planting what he says will be Europe's largest blueberry farm.
Mr Partsvania currently has 70 hectares (172 acres) of blueberries, but is in the process of adding a further 450.
"Georgia is a very small market, so from the start we were talking and thinking about the supply of the European and American markets," he says.
So far Mr Partsvania has already harvested one crop of blueberries, of which he exported 10% of the 75 tonnes to the EU, including two tonnes which went to the UK.
With tariffs about to be removed, he plans to substantially increase what he sends to the EU.

The 35-year-old reached the last four in Melbourne for a 13th time with a 6-1 7-5 6-2 win over Zverev, who upset world number one Andy Murray on Sunday.
Federer, seeded 17th as he seeks an 18th Grand Slam title, faces compatriot Stan Wawrinka in the last four.
Fourth seed Wawrinka beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 6-2.
Wawrinka won his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in 2014.
The 31-year-old has since added victories at the French Open in 2015 and the US Open last September, and is rated by many as the favourite in Melbourne following surprise defeats for Murray and Novak Djokovic.
Federer, playing his first competitive event since Wimbledon six months ago following a knee injury, brushed aside Zverev with the minimum of fuss.
He blitzed through the first set in just 19 minutes, and soon levelled in the second when he was broken by the world number 50.
Federer won 23 of 32 points at the net (72%) as he reached his 41st Grand Slam semi-final.
"My expectation was not to play Stan Wawrinka in the semis. I thought maybe I could get to the fourth round or quarters - that's what I told the Swiss press," he said.
"For me to play against Stan I have to play aggressive, the more time I give him the better he is. I'm happy he's got this far but he doesn't need to go a step further - Stan knows I'm joking."
Federer is the oldest men's singles semi-finalist at the tournament since Arthur Ashe in 1978, and the oldest at any Grand Slam since Jimmy Connors reached the 1991 US Open last four aged 39.
Wawrinka edged a tight opening set against Tsonga, with the pair exchanging words after the tie-break.
"What did you say? You're the one looking at me and talking to me. What are you looking for?" Wawrinka said to Tsonga in French. "Come on, let it go. Did I look at you once?"
It appeared as though Tsonga was fighting back when he finally broke serve to lead 4-3 in the second set, but Wawrinka snuffed out the danger with two successive breaks for a two-set lead.
An early break was enough to give Wawrinka the final set and he closed out a straightforward win to reach an eighth Grand Slam semi-final.
On the possibility of facing friend and compatriot Federer, he said: "Playing in a semi here is always special - I won my first Grand Slam here in front of amazing fans. If it's against Roger, I hope a few will cheer for me."
Asked about the exchange after the first set, Tsonga replied: "Sometimes it happens. We can talk during the game. Nothing special, yeah.
"We just spoke about things that I think is only between him and me, and that's it."
Wawrinka added: "You can have some tension during the match between players. Sometimes it can happen. Most important is that after the match it's all good."
The authorities said police responders shot Wade Michael Page, 40, in the stomach, but they did not fire the fatal shot, as they had initially said.
At a news conference, the FBI also confirmed Page's ex-girlfriend had been arrested on a weapons charge.
There is no suggestion Misty Cook, 31, was involved in Sunday's attack.
FBI Special Agent Teresa Carlson confirmed on Wednesday that she had seen video footage in which a police officer shot Page in the stomach.
"It's an amazing shot, and thank goodness," she said.
"Subsequent to that wound, it appears that Page died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head," Agent Carlson added.
She said Page, a heavily tattooed Army veteran who performed in white-power bands, was still the only suspect.
Dozens of people who knew him were being interviewed, although officials have not yet "clearly defined a motive" for the shooting in a Milwaukee suburb, Agent Carlson added.
Federal officials were not investigating Page before the shooting, she said. He bought the gun used in the attack at a nearby gun shop days after he moved to Cudahy, Wisconsin.
His relationship with Misty Cook, a nursing student, ended earlier this year.
She was found to have a firearm at her Milwaukee home when police called to interview her about Page.
Cook is prohibited from keeping a gun because she has a previous conviction for fleeing and eluding a traffic officer.
On Wednesday, President Barack Obama called Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who is a Sikh, to express his condolences over the tragedy, the White House said.
Hundreds of people held another vigil on Tuesday night for the victims.
Temple member Karan Singh Toor said he felt proud to be an American when he saw people of different races attending.
Other temple members have said they knew of no previous threats to the place of worship, and that Page had never been seen there before.
The dead were five men and one woman, who ranged in age from 39 to 84.
Three others injured in the attack remain in critical condition.
On Wednesday, Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said Lt Brian Murphy, who was shot multiple times as he tried to help a victim, was improving.
"He was up walking yesterday," Mr Edwards said. "He's progressing amazingly and we're very, very thankful for that."
Chief Inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw says elite public schools have been opening up branches abroad, leading to a boom in international schools.
More people left the UK (18,000) to teach than trained (17,000) on English post-graduate routes, he adds.
Ministers cited figures saying just a tiny fraction of teachers left the UK.
The Department for Education also said it was disingenuous to suggest its approach to teacher recruitment was not working.
Why are teachers quitting the UK to work abroad?
But Sir Michael's claim comes after the government missed its teacher trainee recruitment targets for the past four years.
This has led to shortages of teachers in most subject areas, and many schools are finding it hard to recruit staff.
Sir Michael said it was not surprising that the demand for UK-trained teachers was soaring as English was the most common language used in the estimated 8,000 international schools, many of which follow a British-style curriculum.
He added that the demand for UK-trained teachers was only likely to increase as the number of international schools is projected to nearly double to more than 15,000 by 2025.
He quoted International School Consultancy figures which suggested 18,000 people had left the UK to teach abroad in 2015, although he acknowledged not all of these would have been fully qualified teachers.
Recruitment agencies were actively targeting newly qualified teachers, he claimed, as well as more experienced classroom professionals - with "enticing offers of competitive, usually tax-free salaries, free accommodation and often the prospect of working in warmer, sunnier climes".
He added: "Shouldn't we also ask the question: at what cost to our own state education system?
"Are we in danger of overlooking one of the consequences of this expansion - a teacher 'brain drain' from this country just when the supply issue is reaching situation critical?
"At a time of well-documented shortages, should we not be putting more effort into holding on to those who have gone through their teacher training in England?"
And he called for policy makers to consider financial incentives, often referred to as "golden handcuffs", to retain teachers working in the UK state system.
Sir Michael also said there was a need to "talk up" the profession and highlight the "nobility of teaching" and how it can transform lives.
"The idea of 'golden handcuffs' to keep teachers in this country for a period of time is an interesting one which deserves more examination."
A Department for Education spokesman said: "Despite the challenge of a competitive jobs market, the proportion of trainee teachers with a top degree has grown faster than in the population as a whole, and there are more teachers overall.
"But we are determined to continue raising the status of the profession.
"That's why we're investing hundreds of millions in teacher recruitment, backing schemes like Teach First and the National Teaching Service to get great teachers where they are most needed, and why we've given schools unprecedented freedom over staff pay, to allow them to attract the brightest and the best.
"The number of former teachers returning to the classroom has increased year on year - further evidence of the popularity of the profession. Recent research shows that the number of teachers leaving the profession to work abroad is 1%."
This percentage is based on separate figures from research based on England's Labour Force Survey. Wales does not compile figures on teachers leaving the country.
A teacher training certificate in British education has always been a passport to rewarding work in interesting parts of the world.
What is worrying is that this alleged "brain drain" comes amid a growing teacher recruitment crisis in England.
Because of high staff turnover, the equivalent of an entire British Navy of teachers has to be recruited every year, just to stand still.
So financial incentives or "golden handcuffs", that might staunch the flow of those leaving may well tip the balance.
A scheme to attract and retain teachers in challenging schools began in 2009 but was axed in 2010.
Official "golden hellos" or cash bonus schemes, to attract teachers into shortage subjects and tough areas, were used by the Labour administration.
These were scrapped in 2011 and new bursary schemes giving trainee teachers money off their higher university tuition fees became the key incentive.
But teaching unions say, fee-waivers do little to address the low starting salary for teachers - £21,000 outside London - and the pressures of increasing workload and accountability.
Shadow education secretary Lucy Powell said: "Whilst ministers continue to deny the crisis in teacher shortages, we are seeing more and more evidence that this serious issue is threatening standards. Sir Michael Wilshaw is right to highlight the detrimental impact this is having on schools right across the country."
Leora Cruddas, director of policy at the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "Our view is that more needs to be done to incentivise teaching as a career.
"We would suggest that government undertakes to write off, over a period of time, the undergraduate tuition fees of students who become teachers, as long as they remain in the state system in this country during that period.
"This would help with both the recruitment and retention of newly qualified teachers."
Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said performance-related pay and an "utterly punishing" workload that leaves little time for family or friends is driving teachers out in droves.
"Add to this the punitive and often pointless accountability system overseen by Sir Michael Wilshaw alongside his regular disparaging comments about the profession, it is no surprise teaching in England has become an unattractive option."
There were celebrations in Europe after Germany surrendered.
But on the other side of the world in the Pacific Ocean, Japan was still fighting against America, Britain and their allies.
The Americans, however, had a secret plan to end the war - by using the most powerful weapon ever created.
On 6 August 1945, at 8.15am Japanese time, an American B-29 bomber plane, called 'Enola Gay', dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
The devastation was beyond anything seen before. The city was immediately flattened.
80,000 people were killed as a direct result of the blast, and another 35,000 were injured.
Even then, Japan didn't surrender.
Three days later, another nuclear bomb was dropped by the Americans on the Japanese city of Nagasaki.
Shortly afterwards, on 15 August 1945, Japan finally admitted defeat.
World War Two was over.
When the bomb exploded in Hiroshima, the city has struck by a flash of blinding light then a giant cloud shaped like a mushroom.
The blast flattened buildings within a 2.5 km radius of the bomb.
There were 90,000 buildings in Hiroshima before the bomb was dropped but only 28,000 remained after the explosion.
Thousands and thousands of people were killed. Many were badly injured.
But the suffering didn't end there because it wasn't just a normal bomb.
The nuclear radiation released when it exploded caused people to suffer horrible illnesses.
Thousands more people died from their injuries and radiation sickness in the weeks, months and years that followed.
Japan was at war with America and its allies, which included Britain and Soviet Union (a nation made up of modern-day Russia and other countries).
The allies were winning the war and the Japanese forces had been pushed back from many locations.
However fighting was still very fierce and soldiers and civilians were dying every day.
Japan had been at war for many years.
It had invaded the countries near to it such as China and the Japanese had attacked America.
Everywhere the Japanese soldiers went, they were known for their cruelty.
They treated prisoners of war very badly, including American and British soldiers who had surrendered.
US President Harry S Truman wanted the Japanese to surrender as quickly as possible so he could save lives.
The atomic bomb was a deadly new weapon.
President Truman hoped the massive destruction it caused would shock the Japanese into realising they had to surrender.
US President Truman wanted to avoid a land invasion of Japan.
There were 2.5 million Japanese troops stationed there and Truman's staff estimated that defeating them would cost the lives of 250,000 US soldiers.
Some historians also say that the US wanted to avoid Japan being occupied by Soviet troops.
America and the Soviet Union were allies but they did not really trust each other.
It was the first and only time that atomic bombs have been used in a war.
Although the scientists who made the bombs were proud of what they'd achieved, it scared them as well.
The way the atomic bomb was built meant it had huge power - enough to destroy whole cities on it's own.
Many people now believe that the devastation caused in Hiroshima, and in Nagasaki, was so awful that the bombs should never be used again.
Today, a small number of countries around the world, including USA, China and the UK, have nuclear weapons.
Some campaigners argue that there is no place for nuclear weapons and that all countries should get rid of them immediately.
Others say that having such terrible weapons will keep a country safe, even if they are never used.
Bernard Jenkin, chairman of the House of Commons Public Administration committee, says the Kids Company saga is a tale of "an extraordinary catalogue of failures of governance and control at every level: trustees, auditors, inspectors, regulators and government".
While Camila Batmanghelidjh, the former chief executive, is criticised in a new report by the committee, MPs have aimed their fire on the trustees to whom she was supposed to answer.
Alan Yentob, a long-serving chairman of the trustees and former BBC creative director, receives particular scorn.
In a statement, the former trustees have stated that, were it not for the parliamentary privilege enjoyed by MPs, defamation claims "would inevitably follow" in response to the remarkably damning verdicts that the report delivers.
They also say that this is an inappropriate message to publish in the midst of a Charity Commission investigation, and say their evidence has been ignored.
Many of the MPs' conclusions will be familiar to people who followed the Newsnight-BuzzFeed News investigation into Kids Company - or the work done by Radio 4, the Spectator and the Mail on Sunday.
It struggled with its finances. Its client numbers made little sense. Favourite clients enjoyed extravagant support. There were safeguarding concerns.
But there is much worth picking out.
For example, in November 2014, Ms Batmangheilidjh turned away a donor who wanted to give significant support "to develop the charity's infrastructure".
At that time, when the charity had a £4m deficit, she decided that this potential donor lacked "emotional authenticity", was not "in a space" where they could "authentically think about what somebody else needs" and was "not ready to be genuinely philanthropic".
Ms Batmangheilidjh had no such qualms about taking money from government. The committee is scathing about how political pressure seemed to override any concerns about whether spending on Kids Company represented a good use of more than £40m. They have called for a change to how grants are administered.
The Cabinet Office has broadly accepted this point, but Oliver Letwin, the minister who overruled Civil Service advice to give Kids Company a £3m bailout just days before it closed, is not repentant.
He said: "As I said to the committee, I believed it was the right thing to do to give this charity one last chance to restructure."
For the trustees, the report makes some very grating comments about safeguarding. The trustee's press statement notes - correctly - that the Metropolitan Police last week said it had failed to identify "any failings by the charity in respect of them carrying out their duty to safeguard children or vulnerable adults".
But the MPs' report, based on listening to former staff members and local government officials, paints a very different picture. David Quirke-Thornton, social services director in Southwark, told them that "children's services purposefully seek to achieve a safe distance between vulnerable children and young people and adults" but "boundaries appeared to have become blurred" at Kids Company.
One worker reported "inappropriate relationships between key workers and clients" due to "untrained key workers [having] no idea about boundaries". Another referred to "two very serious incidents of unprofessional clinical and safeguarding practice in the past three years".
The committee was alarmed by the charity's whistle-blowing procedures: it cites the case of an employee who witnessed a Kids Company therapist supplying a class A drug to a client in the toilets of a Brixton nightclub. As a first response, the MPs report, the whistleblower was told to "confront" the therapist by Ms Batmangheilidjh.
Its conclusion on safeguarding is stark. Citing "a number of safeguarding issues which have come to [the committee's] attention during the conduct of this inquiry into Kids Company", the MPs suggest that the whole sector might need new rules.
Kids Company as a whole was not supervised by Ofsted, the Care Quality Commission nor local government. "There is… a strong case for statutory regulation of charities who have safeguarding responsibilities for children or vulnerable adults", the MPs recommend.
MPs note that the charity closed in the wake of the announcement of a police investigation into the charity - one sparked by interviews conducted by Newsnight and BuzzFeed News.
That police investigation was actually wound down last week. After a six-month investigation, Scotland Yard could not establish the evidence required to bring criminal charges.
Some sympathetic to the charity argue it might still be open but for those whistleblower reports. Perhaps. But other problems were already emerging and the Charity Commission was already investigating the finances of the charity when it collapsed.
Stories of excess were already bleeding out and even the government was toughening its line. We may learn about these issues from a BBC documentary airing on Wednesday.
Furthermore, as the report notes, "if the trustees had not allowed the charity's weak financial position to persist for so long, Kids Company would not have been so vulnerable to the impact of the allegations". So ultimately, the MPs say, the trustees' failure to keep it in a fit state is why it collapsed.
That's just one criticism that is made of them on a host of issues. On safeguarding, the trustees' failure to have "appropriate processes for handling allegations" was "a serious failure". They were alarmed by "a lack of relevant trustee expertise in the field of youth services or psychotherapy".
On money, the "trustees repeatedly ignored auditors' clear warnings about Kids Company's precarious finances". The trustees failed to rein in Ms Batmangheilidjh. The case of the donor turned away in 2014 illustrated "how unaccountable and dominant trustees had allowed her to become, and how far she was able to insist on maintaining personal control".
Mr Yentob attracts particular personal criticism - as does the BBC. The MPs state that he should not have attempted to affect the reporting of BBC journalists who were looking into this saga - and the BBC should have responded more robustly to his attempts to do so.
In response, the BBC says BBC News had concluded that Mr Yentob did not influence its journalism on the reporting of Kids Company.
The trustees say MPs have "naively accepted allegations made in the media and by a small number of individuals, some with vested interests in damaging Kids Company".
But it is hard to escape the conclusion that had Mr Yentob not already resigned as BBC creative director over Kids Company, this parliamentary report would have forced him to do so.
Brian Sherrard said there was a "very significant risk to the administration of justice if anyone else observes this process".
The 15-year-old disappeared in 1994 after a school disco in County Donegal.
She was last seen in a car driven by convicted killer Robert Howard.
On Tuesday, Mr Sherrard said any redactions made by the PSNI legal team are likely to be modest.
The coroner will make a general statement to the inquest on Wednesday about the nature of the material that has been held back.
He said the risk of disclosure is an exceptionally serious one and relates to the right to the life and the right to privacy of the individuals involved.
Lawyers for the Arkinson family raised a number of concerns with the coroner, before being asked to leave the court, along with members of the press and members of the public.
Henry Toner QC said the documents he had seen, which were heavily redacted, seemed to imply that at one stage the police believed there was a link between the murderer of Sylvia Fleming in Omagh in 1998, and the Arkinson inquiry.
He said this was the first time the Arkinson family had heard of any such connection, and that evidence as to why that line of enquiry was then considered not credible should be made public.
Mr Toner added that the documents also say somebody was abducted by the INLA and interviewed at length as a suspect in the Arlene Arkinson disappearance.
The name of that individual has been redacted at the request of the PSNI, along with the name of an individual who made an allegation to the police that Arlene was buried in her sister Kathleen's garden.
Mr Toner expressed his frustration that the redactions had come so soon before the start of the inquest and requested that any further public interest immunity applications be made as quickly as possible.
Michael Forbes - who refused to sell his land to Trump - scooped the Top Scot prize in a public vote for the whisky brand's Sprit of Scotland award.
Mr Trump said tennis player Andy Murray would have been more deserving.
William Grant and Sons, which owns the brand, said it was a public vote.
Mr Trump said: "Michael Forbes totally lost his battle, in that he tried to stop the Trump Organisation and its many supporters from building what is now recognised as one of the greatest golf courses in the world.
"To think that a product like Glenfiddich would recognise a man like Michael Forbes, who lives in a property which I have accurately described in the past as a total pigsty, a man who loves the attention he has gotten because of his so-called fight with Donald Trump, would receive an award over someone like Andy Murray.
"Glenfiddich's choice of Michael Forbes, as Top Scot, will go down as one of the great jokes ever played on the Scottish people and is a terrible embarrassment to Scotland.
"I make a pledge that no Trump property will ever do business with Glenfiddich or William Grant and Sons."
However, a William Grant and Sons spokesperson said: "We understand that there may have been some confusion and misunderstanding concerning the structure and running of the Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Awards.
"Working with Scotsman Publications as our media partner, Glenfiddich established the awards 15 years ago. From the outset it was made clear that winners would be chosen by public vote.
"Top Scot is a totally open category in which the people of Scotland can vote for whomsoever they choose and Glenfiddich has no influence on this decision.
"In the history of these awards, we are not aware of the Top Scot award causing any offence or upset to anyone and it is not our intention to do so now. These awards were set up to give the people of Scotland a vote and we must respect their decision."
Mr Forbes featured heavily in the You've Been Trumped documentary.
Design work for a second golf course close to the Trump International Links is now under way.
The barrister was appointed to the role of independent reviewer of terrorism legislation on 11 September 2001 - hours before the US attacks.
Lib Dem MP Bob Russell and Conservative MP Roger Gale were both knighted while Labour's Joan Ruddock becomes a dame.
And Baroness Hayman - the first elected Speaker of the House of Lords - becomes a Dame Grand Cross (GBE).
Thousands of honours are awarded each year - at New Year and the Queen's official birthday in June - to recognise "merit, gallantry and service", with recipients nominated by an individual or organisation, or a government department.
Lord Carlile spent a decade as the government's terrorism legislation reviewer - largely under the previous Labour government - in the wake of the 11 September 2001 attacks.
The period saw much controversy over terrorism laws - including efforts to extend the time terrorism suspects could be held without charge to 90 days - which resulted in Tony Blair's first Commons defeat as PM.
The 63-year-old QC has warned about the dangers of laws undermining human rights and criticised the increased use of police "stop and search" powers.
But he also supported the government's controversial control orders, which put terrorism suspects under close supervision, and has criticised human rights rulings in Strasbourg which he said had made the UK a "safe haven" for suspected foreign terrorists.
He was replaced in the role by David Anderson at the start of 2011 and has since led an inquiry into child protection at Ealing Abbey in west London.
The peer said the honour was unexpected: "I was never looking for such a thing, but it's nice for one's work to be recognised.
"It was challenging and I had to be conscious every single day that I was independent of the government and independent of any lobbying or special interest group.
"In my view the task was to get it right, even if that involved satisfying nobody. Over the years I've been cited on both sides of most arguments, which satisfies me of the independence I sought to keep."
Three MPs made it onto the list.
Mr Russell becomes a knight in recognition of his public service. The former journalist has been MP for Colchester since 1997, used to be the Essex town's mayor and served as a borough councillor for 31 years.
Former TV producer and director Mr Gale, MP for North Thanet in Kent, was first elected in 1983 and has served on various committees - including home affairs and a former Conservative Party vice chairman.
He has been honoured for public and political services, as has Ms Ruddock, MP for Lewisham Deptford since 1987, who made her name as a CND campaigner, environmentalist and feminist.
And Baroness Hayman was honoured for services to the House of Lords, where she became the first elected speaker in 2006, chairing debates in the upper chamber - a role that was previously carried out by the lord chancellor.
The former Labour minister, now a crossbench peer, is also a former chairwoman of Cancer Research UK and was made a life peer in 1996.
The country's gross domestic product rose by 0.6% in the three months to June, the Federal Statistics Office said, which was slightly lower than analysts' forecasts.
Growth was driven by consumer and state spending plus company investment.
However, the strong domestic economy sucked in a higher rate of imports dampening overall growth.
The Federal Statistics Office, Destatis, said that "the development of foreign trade... had a downward effect on growth because the price-adjusted quarter-on-quarter increase in imports was considerably larger than that of exports".
Alexander Krueger, an economist at Bankhaus Lampe, said: "The German economy is proving its staying power, the upswing continues."
He said the European Central Bank's low interest rates were boosting the eurozone's largest economy.
Destatis also revised upwards its growth estimate for the first quarter of the year to 0.7% from the initial estimate of 0.6%.
Carsten Brzeski, analyst at ING Bank, said Germany's economic success just went "on and on and on" but he cautioned that exports could be dented by a stronger euro, weaker-than-expected US growth and Brexit uncertainty.
The French economy, the second largest in the eurozone, grew 0.5% in the second quarter, helped by stronger exports according to preliminary data.
Spain's economy grew by 0.9% in the April-to-June quarter, while Italy's preliminary data is expected on Wednesday.
The benchmark FTSE 100 index rose 5.93 points to 6,864.88.
Shares in Taylor Wimpey rose 1.6% while rival housebuilder Berkeley Group added 1.5%. Persimmon, which is due to release results on Tuesday, rose 1.1%.
Gold and silver miner Fresnillo was the biggest faller in the FTSE 100, down 3.9%, as the gold price fell to its lowest level for nearly two weeks.
Elsewhere there was little company news about to move the market.
Analysts will be eyeing the annual meeting of central bankers at Jackson Hole in the US later in the week. The speech from Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen on Friday will come under particular scrutiny for any clues as the timing of a US interest rate rise.
On the currency markets, the pound edged down 0.1% against the dollar to $1.3068 but rose 0.3% against the euro to €1.1584.
UN agencies and their partners hope to replenish desperately needed supplies of food, water, medicine and fuel.
Ships bearing aid have docked at a Red Sea port and planes are standing by.
The ceasefire has broadly held since it began on Tuesday night, although intermittent clashes were reported across the country on Wednesday.
The Saudi-led coalition has said the pause in its seven-week-old air campaign is conditional on the rebels reciprocating and not exploiting it for military advantage.
Residents said there were clashes in the southern city of Aden, the nearby provinces of Daleh, Shabwa, Lahj and Abyan, as well as the third city of Taiz, after the ceasefire started at 23:00 (20:00 GMT) on Tuesday, but that they ended soon after midnight.
"Sanaa had a quiet night as the noise of bombs and anti-aircraft fire that had terrified everyone came to a halt," a resident of the capital, Tawfiq Abdul Wahhab, told the AFP news agency.
Later on Wednesday, the US state department said it had received reports of some clashes and anti-aircraft fire, but that it understood that the ceasefire had "broadly held".
The UN's emergency relief co-ordinator Valerie Amos called on all parties to the conflict to respect the "vital pause in hostilities", which she said would provide "respite for civilians".

1,500 civilians killed since Saudi-led air campaign against Houthi rebel movement began on 26 March
6,200 civilians injured, with many lacking access to basic medical care
There are currently 12 million people without access to sufficient food, clean water, fuel or basic medical care. As many as 300,000 have fled their homes.
Two cargo ships chartered by the UN's World Food Programme (WFP) are docked at the rebel-controlled Red Sea port of Hudaydah. Other supplies are ready to be brought in and planes are standing by to help evacuate the wounded.
The International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) said it was sending medical and surgical supplies for 700 patients by boat to Aden, which has seen some of the fiercest fighting. Medical supplies and water would be distributed to other provinces in the south if the situation allowed, it added.
However, the charity Oxfam has warned that five days is "not enough time to move supplies into and around the country, particularly with fuel supplies dangerously low".
Saudi Arabia's King Salman has meanwhile doubled the money pledged by the kingdom for the aid effort to $530m (£340m).
Baroness Amos requested that aid be routed through existing UN and international humanitarian organisation channels and stressed: "It is essential that humanitarian assistance is not politicised."
Her warning came as Iran's foreign ministry insisted it would not allow Saudi-led naval forces to inspect an aid ship bound for Hudaydah under military escort.
The US has urged Iran to redirect the ship - said to be carrying 2,500 tonnes of food, medicine, tents and blankets - to Djibouti, where the UN has set up a hub.
Saudi Arabia has accused Iran of providing military assistance to the Houthis, a charge it denies.
In the days leading up to the ceasefire, the coalition stepped up its air strikes in an apparent attempt to inflict as much damage as possible on the Houthis and allied security personnel loyal to the ousted former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The UN says at least 828 civilians have been killed and 1,511 injured since the start of the coalition air campaign on 26 March to restore exiled President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. The six days from 4 to 10 May were the deadliest, with at least 182 civilians reported killed.
Luis Arroyo was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to mistreatment of an animal and domestic abuse.
The 40-year-old attacked the two-month-old Chihuahua puppy and punched his girlfriend in the western mountain town of Lares on 4 February.
Judge Carlos Lopez Jimenez also fined Arroyo $3,000 (£2,400) in the case.
According to El Vocero newspaper, jobless Arroyo had been living with his 38-year-old girlfriend for six months.
The puppy died instantly, the daily reports.
No motive was given for the attack.
Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin was speaking after a bomb exploded under a prison officer's van.
The device partially detonated when he drove over a speed ramp at Hillsborough Drive in Belfast, at 07:10 GMT.
The 52-year-old man, a father-of-three, is in a stable condition in hospital.
It is understood he works in the Prison Service Training Centre at Hydebank College in Belfast.
The van has been removed from the scene for examination and the road has reopened.
ACC Martin, of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), said the threat from dissidents is "severe".
"That means an attack is highly possible," he said.
"In recent weeks we have been increasing patrols across Northern Ireland and we intend to do that in the coming weeks up to and through Easter.
"[This year] is the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising.
"That's a very important date, particularly for people from the nationalist/republican community."
The rising was a short and ill-fated republican rebellion in 1916 against British rule in Ireland.
In spite of its military failure, it is seen by many historians as a significant stepping-stone in the partition of the island and the eventual creation of the Republic of Ireland.
ACC Martin said: "There are people within dissident republican groupings who want to mark the anniversary in an entirely sinister way, who want to kill police officers, prison officers or soldiers."
He appealed for the help of the community to deal with the dissident threat.
Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers said the attack showed "how lethal the terrorist threat continues to be".
"Thankfully these incidents happen very rarely but that is only because of the outstanding work of the PSNI and their security partners," she added.
Northern Ireland's First Minister Arlene Foster and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said it was a "disgraceful and despicable attack".
"Our thoughts and prayers are with this senior prison officer and his family as he is treated for his injuries in hospital," they said in a joint statement.
"We join all right-thinking people in condemning these cowardly actions.
"As a prison officer, he is someone who serves and protects our community and we are united in our rejection of this attack."
Finlay Spratt, from the Prison Officers Association, said officers had continued to be targeted since the ceasefires in Northern Ireland's Troubles and the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
"There is no let up for prison officers, we can't live a normal life, we're not allowed to live a normal life by these thugs," he said.
"It doesn't matter how often you condemn it, it just seems to go on and on and they're attacking people who are serving all the community."
Three years ago dissident republicans shot and killed prison officer David Black on the M1 motorway as he made his way to work.
Mr Black was the 30th prison worker to be murdered in Northern Ireland since 1974.
The bus was carrying at least 50 people, most of them members of Argentina's border police, when it came off the road and fell about 20m (65ft) into a riverbed.
Emergency workers are trying to free a number of trapped passengers.
They said that so far, six passengers had been rescued from the wreck.
The bus came off the road at about 02:00 local time (05:00 GMT) near the town of Rosario de la Frontera in Salta province, police officials said.
It was one of three police buses travelling on national highway 34.
A local police statement said there were indications that one of the bus's tyres had burst and caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Speaking at a public event, President Mauricio Macri, expressed his condolences.
Jim Logue, who took the helm in March, leads a minority Labour group at the local authority.
Police Scotland have confirmed they have begun an investigation into a member of the council.
Councillors are set to hold a vote on the issue within the next fortnight.
On Wednesday, SNP councillors submitted a formal request for a special council meeting to determine Mr Logue's future.
A spokesman for North Lanarkshire Council said: "I can confirm that a request has been received for a special meeting which will be dealt with in accordance with the council's standing orders."
The request came after police said they were looking into claims of corruption.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Police received a complaint of alleged corruption regarding an individual at North Lanarkshire Council. Inquiries are ongoing to establish any criminality."
In April last year, Mr Logue announced that he had ordered an investigation into allegations of corruption at the council.
It followed the receipt of an anonymous letter highlighting issues with procurement processes and contracts related to the council's corporate property portfolio.
The results of that investigation were reported to council managers in September 2016.
Since then, SNP members have called for the findings to be made public.
SNP councillor Tom Johnston said: 'The SNP has not taken this decision lightly but we made a promise to the people who elected us to fight for openness, transparency and accountability within this council.
"North Lanarkshire Council has developed a poor reputation over the years and Councillor Logue's refusal to step aside is a further example of everything that is wrong in this area."
Labour councillor, Paul Kelly described the investigation as a "smear campaign".
He added: "Jim Logue has spent his political life fighting the type of practices he is now being falsely accused of being involved in.
"As much as 30 years ago he was exposing those in his own party in Monklands and he instigated the investigation into malpractice in procurement last year.
"No other council leader would risk the challenges of forcing an investigation into anonymous allegations and, as a result, procurement practice has changed completely."
Labour's 32 councillors retained control of North Lanarkshire despite SNP rivals returning 33 members in May's local elections.
The council also has nine Conservative and two independent members.

The first round of funding for Poole Park follows a fundraising campaign by the Friends of Poole Park.
The cash will be spent over the next two years while a detailed research and monitoring project on the boating lake is carried out.
Borough councillor Xena Dion said it was a "huge step" in the revamp plans.
The development phase of the project is expected to be completed in late 2016, with the second phase of the bid submitted shortly after.
The park was opened in 1890 by Edward Prince of Wales.
Thomas James Lewis, 22, was involved in the accident on the A483 near Penllergaer at 17:25 BST on Tuesday.
In a statement released by police, his family said they are devastated and he will be greatly missed.
An investigation into the one-vehicle crash involving Mr Lewis' Dacia Sandero is continuing and police have appealed for witnesses.
Roy Whiting, 52, was injured in the eye during the assault at Wakefield Prison, in West Yorkshire, on Friday morning.
The Ministry of Justice confirmed an attack took place but said it would not discuss specific cases.
In a statement, the MoJ said the prisoner was treated in the prison's healthcare wing.
"HMP Wakefield manages violent and dangerous prisoners every day and events such as this are rare," it said.
"The bravery and speedy response of staff ensured that this incident was dealt with swiftly and effectively."
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police confirmed officers were called to an incident involving two prisoners at the jail, at about 0839 BST.
"We were contacted by prison staff who informed us there had been a fight between two prisoners," he said.
"One of the inmates received injuries but they are not thought to be life threatening."
Police said the injured inmate received treatment at the prison, before staff took him to Pinderfields General Hospital in Wakefield for further care.
A force spokesman said no criminal complaints had been made by the injured person, so the incident was not being investigated.
"There was no criminal allegation of assault made to the police so we will not be investigating," he said.
Whiting, a convicted sex offender, was sentenced to life in prison in 2001 for the murder of Sarah Payne, who disappeared while playing near her grandparents' home in Kingston Gorse, West Sussex, in July 2000.
Her body was found in nearby Pulborough 17 days later.
In 2002, Whiting was attacked with a razor blade by fellow Wakefield inmate Rickie Tregaskis.
Last year, a High Court judge reduced Whiting's minimum jail term of 50 years by 10 years.

The comments, which are likely to hike tensions with Beijing, were made by Rex Tillerson at his confirmation hearing.
Beijing has been building artificial islands on reefs in waters also claimed by other nations.
Images published late last year show military defences on some islands, a think-tank says.
Mr Tillerson, appearing before the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, likened China's island-building to Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.
"We're going to have to send China a clear signal that first, the island-building stops and second, your access to those islands also is not going to be allowed."
China's island-building has caused dismay in the region. Beijing claims almost all of the South China Sea, but Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei all have competing claims.
In July an international tribunal ruled against Chinese claims, backing a case brought by the Philippines, but Beijing said it would not respect the verdict.
The Obama administration has spoken out strongly against the island-building and has sought to build ties with, and among, the South East Asian nations whose claims overlap those of China.
It has also pledged to ensure freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and has sent navy ships to sail in contested areas.
But it has not threatened to block access to the islands, a step likely to enrage Beijing.
Mr Tillerson did not explain how the US might block access to the islands.
But he said China's actions in the South China Sea, and its declaration of a special air zone over East China Sea islands controlled by Japan that Beijing also claims, were "illegal".
"They are taking territory or control or declaring control of territories that are not rightfully China's," he said.
China says it is doing nothing wrong by building in what it calls its territory.
It has said in the past that it has no intention of militarising the islands, but has acknowledged building what it calls necessary military facilities for defensive purposes.
Responding to Mr Tillerson's comments, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said China had the right to conduct "normal activities" in its own territory.
Asked about the remark on blocking access and China's response, he said he would not respond to hypothetical questions.
There have been sporadic incidents between US and Chinese ships in the South China Sea. Late last year, a Chinese ship seized a US navy underwater drone off the Philippines, but later agreed to return it.
Chinese ships have also been involved in clashes and stand-offs with ships from Vietnam and the Philippines.
They said it was a very complex and sophisticated device, deliberately designed to maim and kill.
No group has claimed the attack but police believe dissident republicans are behind it.
The bomb was planted at a house in Ballyarnett village on Monday night.
Det Ch Insp Una Jennings from the Police Service of Northern Ireland serious crime branch said that shortly before midnight police received a bogus call about a burglary at a house in Ballyarnett.
"We checked with neighbours. They reported that there was no burglary in progress at the address.
"There were, however, a number of calls placed to local organisations and community representatives in Derry which alleged that there was a bomb left at this address," she said.
"This sequence of events caused police to consider that this was a lure to draw officers into the area for a deliberate attack on them.
"The device that was left was very complex and quite a sophisticated device and left in a manner that was deliberately designed to maim and kill."
Det Ch Insp Jennings said she was disgusted by the attack.
"My reaction to it is one of disgust and horror. What I would say though is that the key to this investigation lies within the local community here in the north west and I would ask that the community come forward to the police," she said.
"We are here and ready to listen. We understand how difficult it can be to have the courage to come forward with information. However, I believe we collectively have a legal and moral obligation to try and help identify those responsible.
"They are ruthless, dangerous people who have no regard for the community here in Derry and who, given the chance, would have been responsible for a murder here in the city last night.
"At this stage we are not aware of any claims being made by anyone who left the device, a line of enquiry is however that dissident republicans were behind it." | Part of a house collapsed after a suspected gas explosion that left two people with serious burns.

The A380Plus, which was announced ahead of the Paris Airshow, will boast a new wing design intended to improve aerodynamics.
Airbus also said the cabin had been optimised to allow up to 80 extra seats "with no compromise on comfort".
The move has been seen as a way of boosting flagging sales of the A380.
There has been a dearth of orders for the plane as more airlines opt for smaller twin-engine jets, which cost less to fly and maintain.
The European plane maker said the new version would burn up to 4% less fuel thanks to its new winglets, which are designed to reduce drag.
It will also have an increased maximum take-off weight and need less regular maintenance checks.
Airbus said that along with other enhancements, the plane would cut costs for airlines by 13% per seat.
Sales chief John Leahy said the plane would offer "better economics and improved operational performance".
The 26-year-old PhD student killed himself on Sunday inside the campus of Hyderabad Central University.
Mr Vemula was a member of the Ambedkar Students' Association, which fights for the rights of Dalit (formerly known as untouchable) students on the campus.
He was one of five Dalit students who were protesting against their expulsion from the university's housing facility.
The five faced allegations last year that they attacked a member of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) - the student wing of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
They all denied the charge and the university cleared them in an initial inquiry, but reversed its decision in December.
P Vijay, a close friend of Mr Vemula, described him as a "hard-working and a brilliant student and a kind-hearted soul".
Mr Vijay added that "he used to spend most of his time in the university's library".
"I cannot believe what has happened. He was a source of inspiration for others. But he was also very sensitive and was depressed over what was happening around him."
Mr Vemula was studying for his PhD in sociology. A keen reader of revolutionary literature, he aspired to become a writer.
"I always looked at the stars and wanted to be a writer, a writer of science like Carl Sagan. But in the end, this is the only letter I am going to write," he said in a suicide note.
"I loved science, stars, nature - but then I loved people without knowing that people have long since divorced from nature. Our feelings are second hand. Our love is artificial, our beliefs [are] coloured. It has become truly difficult to love without getting hurt," he wrote.
The letter was an outburst of a thinking mind.
Though he did not blame anyone for his death, the contents of the letter show that he was upset over the discrimination shown to Dalits like him.
In an earlier letter to the vice-chancellor of the university in December, he had requested that a "nice rope" should be supplied to rooms of all Dalit students.
"Please give us poison at the time of admission itself instead of humiliating us like this," he had written in his letter.
In his suicide note, he expresses similar pain.
"For some people life itself is a curse. My birth is my fatal accident. I can never recover from my childhood loneliness. I am not hurt at this moment. Not sad, just empty. That is pathetic. That is why I am doing this."
Mr Vemula's mother Radhika received the shocking news while she was expecting her son to come home next week.
"My son died because of the misuse of power and conspiracy by some powerful people. At least, now they should revoke the suspension of four other boys," she pleaded.
His friends said he was troubled by the treatment given to him at the university.
"Rohith was disturbed that the vice-chancellor was not responding to all the protest and the fact that he was being treated like a pariah," said D Prashanth.
"He loved reading poetry, but he was also a man of action participating in agitations for Dalit students and an avid rock climber."
Snowmen, Santas, elves and reindeer turned the city centre into a woolly world of yuletide yarn on Sunday.
More than 3,473 people were needed to have taken part in order to break the existing record, which is held by the American city of Kansas.
Organisers now face a nervous wait as the total number of people is verified.
Martin Mullan, one of the volunteers, said he was confident of the result.
"It all depends on the count but it looks like we've done it," he told BBC Radio Foyle.
"I have a click system where I'm counting everyone that comes through, you also have the scanners and the minute we get those totalled up, that should give us the official account."
Money raised by the festive feat will be donated to a number of charities.
Foyle Hospice, Children In Crossfire, Concern Worldwide, the Mayor's Charity and Muscular Dystrophy UK are all set to benefit.
Both Dublin and Drogheda in the Republic of Ireland have attempted and failed to break the record in recent weeks.
Labour MSP Elaine Murray said the behaviour of the singer should be "condemned", after she posed topless for a raunchy magazine shoot.
She described the 56-year-old star as a "silly exhibitionist".
Ms Murray's comments came as MSPs from all parties united to condemn violence against women.
During a debate in parliament, the Labour politician hit out at "that silly exhibitionist Madonna, who apparently is taking her breasts out for photographers".
She added: "She does a total disservice to women by continuing to collude with that objectification of women.
"That sort of behaviour needs to be condemned because it is doing women no good whatsoever."
Graham Keddie recently called for better promotion of the airport by Tourism Ireland.
He is one of six new NIrepresentatives nominated to the cross-border body by DUP Economy Minister Simon Hamilton.
Mr Keddie raised issues about Tourism Ireland in a letter to Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny.
In a letter to Mr Kenny, written in October, Mr Keddie called for "fairness and equality" in the marketing of Northern Ireland.
On Tuesday, Mr Hamilton told the Northern Ireland Assembly he agreed with Mr Keddie's observations.
Tourism Ireland was set up under the Good Friday Agreement to promote the entire island to potential overseas visitors.
The DUP has been critical of it for some time and previously threatened to look at the funding it receives.
The appointments are likely to be confirmed in the near future.
It is believed they will also include DUP councillor Trevor Clarke, who runs a hotel, and Kathryn Thompson, chief executive of National Museums NI.
She formerly worked at Tourism NI, whose current chief executive, John McGrillen, is also expected to join the board.
Overseas visitor numbers to Northern Ireland have been improving.
They rose by 9% in the 12 months to June to more than 2m with Tourism Ireland seeing itself as deserving at least some of the credit.
White Flowers Alba and In Care Abuse Survivors Group both called for urgent answers from the Scottish government on the future of the inquiry.
The probe has been plagued by problems and all three original panel members have now resigned.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney said he understood the concerns but told the BBC the inquiry was gathering momentum.
Glen Houston resigned from the panel on Tuesday. He said his new appointments to the boards of two public sector organisations meant there was potentially a conflict of interest with his work on the abuse inquiry.
The other two original panel members, Susan O'Brien QC and Prof Michael Lamb, stood down within days of each other last year, complaining of government interference.
In July 2016, senior judge Lady Smith was appointed as the new chairwoman following Ms O'Brien's resignation.
The spokesman for the survivors' group White Flowers Alba, Andi Lavery, claimed there were fewer than 200 survivors now in contact with the inquiry and said there was "no trust left".
"It's an absolute disgrace and it's so terribly sad. I don't know anybody that's left that wants to testify and we're in contact with quite a number of survivors," he told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme.
"At the end of the day, if you're abused in Scotland you face no prospect of either justice, accountability or redress. But if you're abused in Carlisle or Belfast, you face them in their inquiries.
"That's not right, it's not equality and it's not justice."
The inquiry was launched in October 2015 and charged with examining historical allegations of child abuse in residential accommodation in Scotland.
It is due to report in 2019.
Also speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, Alan Draper, of the In Care Abuse Survivors Group, said survivors were concerned about the resignation of Mr Houston and the Scottish government's decision not to replace him on the panel.
"It looks too legalistic to us. All we've got now is a High Court judge, QCs and solicitors involved in the inquiry team and no external expertise. This looks far too narrow," Mr Draper said.
The group have also demanded that Mr Swinney tell them why the inquiry will not consider redress for victims.
Mr Draper told BBC Scotland: "We've continued to ask John Swinney that this be part of the remit. We've been denied this remit.
"What survivors tend to feel [is that] we were failed when we were in care. We continue to be failed by the Scottish government and we continue to be failed by the inquiry - why should we engage with it?"
But Mr Swinney insisted the inquiry had a "very broad remit" and would ensure justice was delivered to abuse survivors.
He also defended the decision not to appoint a successor to Mr Houston, saying that survivors' groups had told him "very strongly" they wanted the inquiry to be led by a senior judge.
The deputy first minister told the BBC that Lady Smith also had the ability to appoint assessors to "enhance the expertise of the inquiry".
"I completely understand the concern of survivors and I've engaged with survivors on a number of occasions since I took over responsibility of the Child Abuse Inquiry and I will continue to do so," he said.
"The inquiry is gathering evidence, it's gathering momentum, it's gathering input from individuals who were the victims of abuse.
"So the inquiry in that respect is doing exactly what it was commissioned to do which is to pursue justice and accountability for the survivors of abuse.
"On the question of redress, I acknowledge this to be a significant issue, but it's an issue for the government to address in consultation with the survivors. It's not for me to pass this to the inquiry."
Eurasian beavers taken from Norway were released at Knapdale in Argyll in 2009. An illegally-released population has also been discovered in Tayside.
Both groups will be allowed to expand naturally but will be managed to protect farmers and land owners.
Native Scottish beavers were hunted to extinction in the 16th century.
Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham explained the Scottish government's decision to grant beavers protected status.
"Beavers promote biodiversity by creating new ponds and wetlands, which in turn provide valuable habitats for a wide range of other species," she said.
"We want to realise these biodiversity benefits while limiting adverse impacts on farmers and other land users. This will require careful management."
Ms Cunningham said she wanted to "be absolutely clear" that while the beaver populations in Argyll and Tayside would be allowed to extend their range naturally, "further unauthorised releases of beavers" would be treated as "a criminal act".
"Swift action will be taken in such circumstances to prevent a repeat of the experience on Tayside," she said.
The two lead partners in the 2009 Scottish Beaver Trial - the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland and the Scottish Wildlife Trust - have both welcomed the Scottish government's decision.
Zoological Society chief executive, Barbara Smith, said it was "a truly historic day for Scottish conservation".
"Returning a keystone species to the wild for the first time in 400 years is a tremendous achievement... and we welcome the government's commitment to the species both in Knapdale and further afield," she said.
"Establishing a clear and comprehensive management plan for the species should now be our top priority."
Jonathan Hughes, chief executive of the Scottish Wildlife Trust, described the development as "a major milestone for Scotland's wildlife and the wider conservation movement".
He said: "Beavers are one of the world's best natural engineers. Their ability to create new wetlands and restore native woodland is remarkable and improves conditions for a wide range of species including dragonflies, otters and fish.
"The return of beavers also has great potential for education and wildlife tourism."
Mid-Scotland and Fife MSP, Murdo Fraser, said the issue of beavers in Tayside had been "a long running issue...with strong opinions on both sides".
"For some time, I have been arguing for a compromise approach whereby the existing beaver population would be tolerated, but farmers and land managers would have the right to control numbers where agricultural interests were threatened.
"What we need to fully understand is what the government mean by 'active management' and what measures farmers and land managers will be able to take."
The Scottish Greens environment spokesman, Mark Ruskell, said he was "delighted" that beavers had been given legal protection.
He said: "Bringing this species back from extinction will make a huge contribution to restoring wetland habitat, boosting biodiversity while helping natural flood management.
"Farmers and land managers will need support from the Scottish government to understand how to work positively with wild beaver populations."
Military spending will grow by A$29.9b ($21.4b, £15.4b) over next 10 years, the 2016 Defence White Paper outlined.
The largest investment will be made in submarines, with investment also being made in additional naval vessels, fighter jets and personnel.
Under the plan defence spending will comprise 2% of Australia's GDP by 2021.
The report outlines the government's defence priorities to 2035.
Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the threats faced by Australia were not limited to foreign conflicts, but also included terrorism, cyber-warfare and climate change.
"[This] is a plan to become more powerful on land and in the skies, and more commanding both on the seas and beneath them. It is a program to be more resilient in the cyberspace, to be more innovative with technology, and to have greater situational awareness thanks to our advanced intelligence capabilities," Mr Turnbull said.
It says that about 25% of the additional spending will be put towards the most "comprehensive regeneration of our Navy since the Second World War".
Construction of 12 "regionally superior" submarines at a cost of more than A$50b represents Australia's largest-ever defence procurement.
The submarines, which will have a "high degree of interoperability" with US forces, will begin to enter service from the early 2030s.
In addition to three Hobart class air warfare destroyers already scheduled to enter service in the early 2020s, nine new warfare frigates optimised for anti-submarine warfare will be built by the late 2020s.
The white paper also provides for an increase in personnel of around 2,500 to a total of 62,400 across the Australian Defence Force.
The purchase of unmanned drones, plus previously announced plans to buy seventy-two Joint Strike Fighters and 12 Growler electronic warfare aircraft, were also outlined in the paper.
The white paper identified three strategic defence interests for Australia: securing Australia's northern borders and communication lines, ensuring security in its immediate region, and maintaining a "rules-based global order", particularly in the Indo-Pacific region.
It reaffirms Australia's commitment to the US but expresses ambivalence on China, calling on it to be "more transparent about its defence policies.
The paper also reiterates Australia's opposition to the reclamation of land in the South China Sea and urges ASEAN and China to agree on a code of conduct for the area as soon as possible.
Dr John Blaxland, a senior fellow at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at Australian National University, said the language on China was more robust than in the 2013 Defence White Paper.
China's economic muscle meant that it was more likely to ignore rules that didn't suit its interests, which was evident both in territorial disputes and in developments in the cyber domain, Dr Blaxland said.
"It's not that concerned about the rules, about a global order that it didn't write."
He said the government's defence plan was "not an unreasonable insurance policy" and would have a strong impact on capacity if implemented properly.
"The global average spend on defence is between 2.1% and 2.3% of GDP, depending on what measure you use, so Australia's plan to spend 2% is not unreasonable," he said.
In Thursday's third round match in Manchester, the world number eight lost 4-3 to Bingtao who is ranked at 98 and on his first season on the world tour.
Earlier in the tournament, Allen had 4-1 wins over England's Jamie Curtis-Barrett and Scott Donaldson of Scotland.
Belfast's Joe Swail lost 4-2 to Leicestershire's Tom Ford.
The English Open is the first event in the new Home Nations series, with the trophy named after six-times world champion Steve Davis.
Wilkinson, 22, signed for Bolton from Millwall in July 2013, but made only 16 appearances for the Trotters.
The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international has also had loan spells with Chesterfield, Oldham and Newport.
"I'm delighted to get it over the line; it's been going on for a while now so it's nice to get here and sign everything," he said.

Kath Cassidy has served beverages to dozens of home and away players, managers and journalists at St James' Park since 1963.
To celebrate her retirement, the 88-year-old will be a special guest at the club's game against Norwich on Sunday.
Tributes have poured in from the likes of Alan Shearer, Kevin Keegan, Arsene Wenger, and Sir Alex Ferguson.
The club described her as "legendary" and "much loved".
Kevin Keegan said: "Players can be replaced, managers can be replaced, but people like you, Kath, are irreplaceable."
Sir Alex said: "Serving tea to the media cannot be an easy job so you well and truly deserve a long and happy retirement."
Edward Mallen, 18, took his own life at Meldreth rail crossing near Cambridge on 9 February 2015.
An inquest in Huntingdon heard how the teenager, who had been offered a place at Cambridge University, had seen a GP two weeks before his death.
Although Mr Mallen had given consent for his parents to be told about his thoughts, they were not informed.
Mental health worker Duncan Maxwell told the inquest into Mr Mallen's death that, in retrospect, such a conversation might have been beneficial.
The medical director of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, Dr Chess Denman, admitted there were things it "could have done better".
"The Trust has held an internal enquiry and also commissioned an independent report and it is implementing the recommendations of the report and enquiry," Dr Chessman said.
The doctor who treated Mr Mallen told the inquest the teenager was depressed and had experienced suicidal thoughts - something the GP said was "alarming".
The GP contacted Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust crisis intervention team, the inquest was told, recommending Mr Mallen was seen within 24 hours.
But a triage mental health nurse who spoke to Mr Mallen on the phone said a five day wait was appropriate as he did not think there was a significant risk.
Following a two-day inquest in Huntingdon, a coroner returned a verdict of suicide.
The incident took place during their Rogers Cup match earlier this month.
An ATP review found the 20-year-old guilty of "aggravated behaviour".
The Australian had already received a $10,000 (£6,400) tournament fine for the "unacceptable comments", which were picked up by on-court microphones.
The fine and ban will be imposed if Kyrgios incurs any fines for verbal or physical abuse over the next six months, or accumulate fines totalling more than $5,000 (£3,200) for any other offences at ATP-sanctioned tournaments.
Although world number 41 Kyrgios apologised for the comments, Switzerland's French Open champion Wawrinka, 30, called for major action to be taken.
The ATP's head of rules and competition Gayle David Bradshaw said: "This incident reflected poorly on our sport.
"Nick has expressed regret. The best result would be that he learns a lesson and that he understands he is responsible to the tour and to fellow players for both his actions and his words."
Kyrgios also received a $2,500 (£1,600) fine for unsportsmanlike conduct relating to a comment made to a ball person during the Rogers Cup match in Montreal.
He previously came under heavy criticism for his behaviour after appearing to stop trying when he was given a code violation during his defeat by France's Richard Gasquet at Wimbledon in July.
The 23-year-old Heracles forward claimed he was waiting to finalise a move to the Championship club.
Slade insisted there was no truth to the reports but admitted he did have some interest in the player "some time ago".
"To my knowledge that's not something we're going to pursue," he said.
Netherlands Under-21 international Weghorst began his career with FC Emmen before joining Heracles in 2014.
Heracles chairman Jam Smit believed a fee had been agreed with Cardiff for Weghorst, who has also been linked with Celtic.
"I think all the forcing and all the speculation surrounding the player appears to be have come from the Netherlands," added Slade.
"There was an initial inquiry some time ago. That's all I can say."
Slade would like to make up to three signings during the window to aid Bluebirds' push for a Championship play-off place, with the club currently four points off the top six.
One is likely to be a striker after the departure of last season's top scorer Kenwyne Jones to Al Jazira in the United Arab Emirates.
The Trinidad and Tobago international claimed on social media that the club had offered him no fresh deal to stay, but Slade believes that was not the case,
"I'm pretty sure there was a dialogue going on between Kenwyne's people, Kenwyne himself and [chief executive] Ken Choo and the board of directors," Slade added.
He also denied claims from Rotherham Manager Neil Redfearn that the two clubs are in talks over a potential transfer for Alex Revell.
Revell, 32, joined Cardiff from Rotherham in January 2015 and has scored twice in 15 league games for the Bluebirds.
"We've already lost a target type centre forward," said Slade.
"We need to be mindful that we're not shooting ourselves in the foot and that we have enough players in every position and every area of the pitch."
Cardiff host League One Shrewsbury Town on Sunday in the third round of the FA Cup with defender Lee Peltier a major doubt because of illness.
John "Jack" Harrison, who played for Hull FC, was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery during the Battle of Oppy Wood.
The 2nd Lt died during an attack on a German machine gun position on 3 May 1917.
Members of his family gathered for a dedication ceremony of a flagstone next to Sutton war memorial in Hull.
His nephew Peter Straughan said the player and soldier was a "great example" for others.
"[He was] such a hero for what he did, at such a young age," he said.
"What a good leader and it's great for every human to admire what he has done."
Mr Harrison was born on 12 November 1890 in Hull.
He became a teacher and joined Hull FC, where he scored 106 tries in 116 matches, including one in the 1914 Challenge Cup Final, which the team won.
He played his final game for the side on 26 December 1916, having joined the 11th East Yorkshire Regiment.
In February 1917 he was awarded the Military Cross after leading a patrol in an attack on German trenches on the Western Front.
The 24-year-old was arrested after the attack at Manchester Arena, as police looked for evidence of a terror network in the area.
A total of 18 people were arrested after the suicide attack on 22 May that killed 22 people and injured 116 as they left an Ariana Grande concert.
Ten men still remain in custody.
Attacker Abedi, 22, detonated a home-made bomb in the arena's foyer just after 22:30 BST.
The blast killed young people attending the event and friends and family who were waiting to meet them.
Abedi was one of three siblings and was born in Manchester to a family of Libyan origin.
His older brother, Ismail, was arrested the day after the bombing after a raid by police in Whalley Range, but was released without charge on Monday.
Abedi's younger brother Hasham, 20, was detained in Tripoli on suspicion of links with the so-called Islamic State group on the same day.
Reuters news agency told the BBC that Abedi's father, Ramadan, had also been detained in Libya.
How much the clubs knew about the actions of former scout Ted Langford is said to fall within the inquiry's terms of reference, the Times reported.
He was jailed in 2007 for abusing four young players in the 70s and 80s. He died in 2012.
More than 50 clubs are potentially linked to the investigation.
The Times reported Langford was jailed at Birmingham Crown Court for abusing boys while he was a scout for both clubs.
A spokesman for Aston Villa said: "The club co-operated fully with the authorities during the investigation at that time."
A Leicester spokesman added: "We take the current matter very seriously. At present, however, we have no indication of any allegations made against or in relation to Leicester City Football Club.
"We will, of course, investigate fully in the event any further information comes to light."
The FA would not comment on whether Langford's crimes formed part of the investigation.
However, its internal review is considering what "steps" were taken by "clubs identified as linked to alleged sexual abusers took at the time of any incidents," and "what that club did or did not know and/or did or did not do in relation to child sexual abuse".
Langford, who lived in Perry Barr, Birmingham, was jailed for three years.
He worked as a scout for Dunlop Terriers, a feeder club to Aston Villa.
After years of negative headlines, the frenzy has reached fever pitch in the wake of the US allegations of corruption at the highest level in football - even though Mr Blatter himself has not been implicated.
And running through all this coverage is a theme - bemusement that much of the football world keeps voting for him.
Nowhere is Sepp Blatter's support stronger than across Asia and Africa. So why did most of the representatives from those two continents vote for him again?
Here's about as succinct an answer as you're going to get - from Amaju Pinnick, newly elected president of the Nigerian Football Federation, talking to the BBC on Thursday: "Blatter feels Africa, he sees Africa and he has imparted so much - a lot of developmental programmes.
"Without Blatter we wouldn't enjoy all the benefits we enjoy today from Fifa. What Blatter pushes is equity, fairness and equality among the nations. We don't want to experiment."
Development? Benefits? Equity? We're talking about two things really - the first is concrete investment, often literally so. The second is respect.
If you go to Fifa's website, search for the "development globe". You'll get a jazzy tool which lets you spin the world around, with clickable symbols corresponding to every little project Fifa has carried out in recent years - all of them under Sepp Blatter.
I clicked at random on Chad - not one of Africa's footballing powerhouses.
Since 2011, according to Fifa, Chad has benefited from 26 projects undertaken by the world governing body. We're talking about artificial pitches, a technical centre, a new HQ for the federation - but also education seminars on marketing, refereeing, grassroots football and so on. The list is long.
That pattern is repeated across Africa and around the world.
And it has been Mr Blatter who has pushed the programme. He, both as Secretary General and then as Fifa president, helped encourage the boom in football - and raked in billions of dollars from media and marketing as a result.
And it has been Mr Blatter who has made sure significant amounts of that cash has been spent in pretty much every football nation that can spend it. That earns him a huge amount of support.
Respect is harder to quantify, but is just as valuable when it comes to earning votes. Sepp Blatter has been in charge as the game has become truly global.
Fifa's historical Eurocentrism (stronger words than that have been used) has been swept away - and Mr Blatter has been the driving force.
A look at world media coverage shows it is not just Africa where support for Mr Blatter remains rock solid.
India's Hindustan Times said Mr Blatter still had the country's support because "Blatter's art of giving is likely to matter more than the allegations of corruption". El Salvador's delegate said that as Mr Blatter remains committed to projects in the central American nation "then we have committed to vote for him".
Russia - due to host the World Cup in 2018 - remains a staunch supporter of Mr Blatter too. Moskovskiy Komsomolets is one of several papers which describe the US charges against Fifa officials as politically motivated.
But few manage language as strongly supportive as Guinea-Bissau FA president Manuel Nascimento Lopes, who said voting for anyone but Mr Blatter would be "blasphemy".
Who still supports Sepp Blatter?
The World Cup has gone to Asia (Japan/Korea 2002) and Africa (South Africa 2010) for the first time.
The number of countries that can qualify for the finals has expanded at the same time - giving nations like Angola and Togo the chance to sup at the top table.
Countries which had felt excluded now feel the opposite - and that too earns loyalty.
None of which is to say it is a simple picture. The AFC (Asian Football Confederation) and CAF (Confederation of Africa Football) are backing Blatter collectively, but it is individual associations which have the votes. And not all of them will fall in line.
And there is a feeling amongst many that, whatever the benefits he has brought, Sepp Blatter's time may have come.
Here's a voice from Zambia, former administrator Simataa Simataa:
"A lot of things have been done using Fifa money - the perception is that its Sepp Blatter's money. But this should be done anyway, whether Mr Blatter is there or not.
"It is about more than just projects, it is about constitutions, about rules, about ethics - and all those I've mentioned have declined under the leadership of Sepp Blatter."
That may be a view which has gathered traction in the past two days, as the crisis sparked by the arrests of senior officials has engulfed the game.
But, for time being, the majority of voters within Fifa - and remember how small the electorate is - are likely to echo Mr Pinnick. "We don't want to experiment."
Michael Wood, a porter at Watford General Hospital, said he was facing disciplinary action from his employers Medirest.
The company says porters should "wear appropriate uniform at all times".
The GMB said it would tell porters to wear dresses if he was not reinstated.
The row follows a successful protest by boys at protest on Thursday by about 30 boys at the ISCA Academy in Exeter who wore skirts to school because shorts were not part of the school's uniform. The school has now changed the rules meaning boys will be allowed to shorts in lessons from next year.
Union official Mick Dooley said: "What we're hoping to do is get round the table and get Michael back to work, failing that, the chief executive of Watford General Hospital, [is] going to see her porters wearing dresses.
"We're going to put out a message to porters [to start] wearing dresses and start wearing skirts."
Mr Wood, 46, said he rolled up his black-coloured polyester trousers to three-quarter-length on Wednesday - the hottest June day for 40 years - but was called to the office and asked to roll them down again.
When he said he "could not promise" not to roll them back up, he was sent home.
"Our health and safety is paramount in the hospital, when you're struggling to work when you're sweating, you become irritable and argumentative," Mr Wood said.
"I wouldn't mind wearing a dress - at least I'd be cool."
On Wednesday, temperatures in nearby Harpenden peaked at 31.5C.
Mr Dooley said: "Because of the unusually high temperatures, the NHS managers in Watford General have adopted a reasonable approach towards their workforce.
"However, Medirest consider suspending safety reps is the preferred option."
He said Mr Wood had been "treated unfairly" and "should be reinstated immediately".
Medirest said it would be inappropriate to comment on an individual case where an investigation is ongoing but added the "health and safety of our colleagues is always our number one priority".
"Due to the nature of their job and health and safety requirements, it is important that porters wear appropriate uniform at all times," a statement said.
It follows legal battles in England over whether the NHS or local authorities should pay for it.
The drug, described as a "game-changer" by experts, is used for a process known as pre-exposure prophylaxis, or Prep.
The Scottish government wants its makers to apply for it to be assessed for use in Scotland.
In England, the NHS had previously said that local authorities should provide Prep because they are responsible for preventative health.
But the Court of Appeal insisted this fell within the remit of the NHS.
An estimated 14,000 people would be eligible for the drug - which is called Truvada.
Unlike in England, the Scottish Medicines Consortium assesses all drugs used in the NHS in Scotland.
So campaigners hope its transition for use in Scotland will be smoother.
BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme has learned that the Scottish government has written to Gilead, the manufacturers of the drug, to urge them to make an application.
The SMC said it was anticipating a submission from Gilead so it could make a formal judgement on whether to approve its usage.
The SMC will also make a decision on the cost-effectiveness of the drug, which costs about £450 a month to buy privately.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (or Prep for short) is a small, blue pill.
The pill works by protecting cells in the body and disabling the virus to stop it multiplying - should it enter the body.
Taking it once a day has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection by 86%.
It is currently used in the US, Canada, Australia and France to help protect gay men at the highest risk of contracting HIV.
George Valiotis, the chief executive of the charity HIV Scotland, said: "People who take Prep - they don't get HIV."
HIV diagnoses in Scotland have continued at an average rate of 359 per year for the past five years, according to Health Protection Scotland.
Across the UK as a whole 100,000 people are believed to be living with virus.
"We have seen no change in our HIV transmission rates over the last 10 years. They haven't really gone down at all," Mr Valiotis said.
"It's been an average in Scotland of one person a day for the last 10 years, so we know we need to do something else, and Prep is that something else."
A spokesman for Gilead said it had been in discussions with the Scottish Medicines Consortium.
He said: "We will make our submission in the coming weeks, in accordance with the required SMC timelines and expect the review to follow normal timelines as well."
A spokesman for the SMC said it was aware of a report which has been compiled by the charity HIV Scotland, which sought to highlight the benefits of the drug and had support from health professionals.
He said: "The SMC is awaiting a submission from the company for Truvada for use as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PreP) in HIV infection.
"We are aware of the report by the HIV PreP Short Life Working Group. While this report itself does not form part of the submission and therefore cannot be considered by the committee, we expect and encourage patient groups to submit evidence as part of the review for this medicine.
"This will be considered by our committee alongside the information submitted by the company."
A spokesman for the Scottish government said: "The Scottish government has written to its manufacturer of Truvada to request they make a submission to the Scottish Medicines Consortium, at a fair price, so its routine use in Scotland can be considered as quickly as possible.
"Prevention of HIV infection remains a priority for the Scottish government and there is absolutely no room for complacency on such communicable diseases."
The pedestrian was crossing Liberton Place when he was hit at about 13:50.
Police Scotland said the man had non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
The road has been closed for an investigation and diversions are in place.
Mind Cymru said some mothers who needed support, travel for at least three hours to England after Wales' last unit closed in Cardiff in November 2013.
Plaid Cymru AM Steffan Lewis called the situation a "scandal".
The Welsh Government said it was "vital" to offer support during pregnancy and pointed to existing community services.
Mother and baby units (MBUs) provide specialist care to women with mental health problems such as severe postnatal depression and postpartum psychosis.
Speaking ahead of Mother's Day on Sunday, mental health charity Mind Cymru said 10-15% of new mothers developed postnatal depression, which usually develops within six weeks of giving birth and can come on gradually or suddenly.
Senior policy and campaigns officer Rhiannon Hedge said: "With no support here in Wales, mothers are having to be treated many miles away from their families and support networks.
"While community support is important, there are times when specialist in-patient care is necessary and at those times it's simply not appropriate for women to be so far away from their families."
She said money invested into community perinatal support was welcome but the Welsh Government's delivery plan, Together for Mental Health, "doesn't go far enough in addressing the gaps".
In Cardiff and Vale health board area alone, 21 women between January 2015 and January 2017 were identified that would have been admitted to the Welsh MBU had it been open.
The figures, obtained by Mr Lewis through the assembly research service, showed of six women who were referred to an out-of-Wales MBU in that time, only two went because others did not want to be so far from their families.
A Freedom of Information Act request also found that the body that commissions specialist NHS services, the Welsh Health Specialist Services Committee (WHSSC), estimated that the cost of sending mothers to MBUs outside of Wales was estimated to be £377,000 this year.
But a paper by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said £307,000 was released following the closure of the MBU.
Mr Lewis said there was "a clear demand in Wales for perinatal services in this country" and said the closure "hasn't been cost effective".
"This is a scandal that in this country that there are people who have real mental health needs and are not able to have those needs fully met here in this country," he added.
Charlotte Harding, from Cardiff, developed postpartum psychosis four years ago following the birth of her son. Symptoms can include high mood, racing thoughts, depression, severe confusion and paranoia.
She said: "Families in Wales are left to take care of mothers with severe postnatal depression by themselves. My husband had to take two years off work to look after me and our boys.
"Having a mother and baby unit in Wales is vital for families but even more important for single mothers facing mental health problems alone."
A Welsh Government spokesman said the previous MBU was closed due to an insufficient number of women using the service to enable staff to maintain skills, "not funding issues".
She added: "Last year, we announced new perinatal mental health services will be set up within every health board in Wales, backed by £1.5m of new investment.
"The new community-based specialist services will help to improve mental health outcomes for women with perinatal illnesses, their babies and their families.
"The NHS reports more than 1,500 women have been referred to the new community services since April 2016 and we expect the figures to increase significantly as services are established."
He said it was "very rare indeed" for a mother to need to be admitted to hospital with her baby, but in those circumstances the WHSSC worked with local services to find a bed "as close to home as practical".
The WHSSC will report on its inpatient service provision in the near future, she added.
In a strongly-worded speech, IATA chief executive Alexandre de Juniac said the ban also creates "commercial distortions".
The US ban was brought in as an anti-terrorist precaution.
It covers inbound flights on airlines operating out of 10 airports in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey.
The British ban is similar but applies to different airlines. Airline passengers on 14 carriers are subject to the ban on inbound direct flights from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.
In his speech in Montreal, Mr de Juniac questioned the measures, saying: "Why don't the US and the UK have a common list of airports? How can laptops be secure in the cabin on some flights and not others... especially on flights originating at a common airport?"
He added: "The current measures are not an acceptable long-term solution to whatever threat they are trying to mitigate. Even in the short term it is difficult to understand their effectiveness. And the commercial distortions they create are severe."
Airlines affected by the ban include Emirates, Qatar, and Etihad.
US airlines have long argued that these carriers are unfairly subsidised by their governments, which the Gulf airlines deny.
Mr de Juniac said that IATA is "deeply concerned with political developments pointing to a future of more restricted borders and protectionism."
The regulations, which officially came into effect on Saturday, were prompted by reports that militant groups want to smuggle explosive devices in electronic gadgets,
Aviation security experts were alarmed by an incident in Somalia last year when insurgent group al-Shabaab smuggled an explosive-filled laptop on a flight out of Mogadishu, blowing a hole in the side of the plane.
The aircraft was still low enough that the pilot was able to land the plane safely.
He will also resign as leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), which he has led for a total of 20 years.
Scottish voters backed the country staying in the UK by 2,001,926 votes to 1,617,989 in Thursday's referendum.
Three arrests have been made after rival Union and independence supporters gathered in George Square in the centre of Glasgow.
Police, including officers on horseback, had to separate the two groups.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said there were about 100 people in each of the two groups, and although there had been some "minor disorder" it had been dealt with quickly, with no arrests so far. The square was closed to traffic with local diversions in place.
The square had hosted a party by "Yes" supporters ahead of the referendum.
BBC Scotland reporter Cameron Buttle, who was at the scene, said the confrontation started quickly with flares being fired and a "co-ordinated" charge from the Unionist side, who were singing Rule Britannia.
Meanwhile, the Queen has said Scotland's vote to stay in the Union was "a result that all of us throughout the United Kingdom will respect".
She added: "Knowing the people of Scotland as I do, I have no doubt that Scots, like others throughout the United Kingdom, are able to express strongly-held opinions before coming together again in a spirit of mutual respect and support."
Elsewhere, Prime Minister David Cameron said the three main Westminster parties would now deliver their campaign pledge to boost the powers of Scotland's devolved parliament.
Mr Salmond, 59, is Scotland's longest-serving first minister, having held the post since the SNP won power at the Scottish Parliament in May 2007.
Speaking from his official residence at Bute House in Edinburgh, the first minister told journalists: "For me as leader my time is nearly over, but for Scotland the campaign continues and the dream shall never die.
"I am immensely proud of the campaign that Yes Scotland fought and particularly of the 1.6 million voters who rallied to that cause."
Mr Salmond said he would resign as SNP leader at the party's conference in November, before standing down as first minister when the party elects its next leader in a membership ballot.
He said there were a "number of eminently qualified and very suitable candidates" to replace him.
But Nicola Sturgeon, the current deputy first minister and deputy SNP leader, is seen as a clear frontrunner.
Mr Salmond, who will stay on as MSP for Aberdeenshire East, added: "It has been the privilege of my life to serve Scotland as first minister.
"But, as I said often during the referendum campaign, this is not about me or the SNP. It is much more important than that.
"The position is this. We lost the referendum vote but can still carry the political initiative. More importantly Scotland can still emerge as the real winner."
Ms Sturgeon said she could "think of no greater privilege than to seek to lead the party I joined when I was just 16," but said she would not make an announcement today.
She added: "Alex Salmond's achievements as SNP leader and Scotland's first minister are second to none. He led the SNP into government and has given our country a renewed self confidence."
Mr Salmond also used his resignation statement to question Mr Cameron's more powers pledge.
"We now have the opportunity to hold Westminster's feet to the fire on the 'vow' that they have made to devolve further meaningful power to Scotland," he said.
"This places Scotland in a very strong position.
"I spoke to the prime minister today and, although he reiterated his intention to proceed as he has outlined, he would not commit to a second reading vote (in the House of Commons) by 27 March on a Scotland Bill.
"That was a clear promise laid out by Gordon Brown during the campaign.
"The prime minister says such a vote would be meaningless. I suspect he cannot guarantee the support of his party."
Many politicians paid tribute to Mr Salmond's contribution to political debate, including David Cameron who spoke of his "huge talent and passion".
On referendum night, 28 of Scotland's 32 local authority areas voted in favour of staying in the UK.
Glasgow, Scotland's largest council area and the third largest city in Britain, voted in favour of independence by 194,779 to 169,347.
But the the 75% turnout in Glasgow was the lowest in the country, and hoped for breakthroughs in other traditional Labour strongholds such as South Lanarkshire, Inverclyde and across Ayrshire never materialised for the nationalists.
Edinburgh, the nation's capital, clearly rejected independence by 194,638 to 123,927 votes, while Aberdeen City voted "No" by a margin of more than 20,000 votes.
Across Scotland, 84.6% of registered voters cast their ballot in the referendum - a record for a national election.
Mr Cameron said the Westminster parties would ensure commitments on new Scottish parliament powers were "honoured in full" after the final referendum result was announced.
He said that Lord Smith of Kelvin, who led Glasgow's staging of the Commonwealth Games, would oversee the process to take forward the commitments, with new powers over tax, spending and welfare to be agreed by November, and draft legislation published by January.
The prime minister also spoke of the implications for the other nations of the UK, and said "millions of voices of England must also be heard".
He added: "The question of English votes for English laws, the so-called West Lothian question, requires a decisive answer so just as Scotland will vote separately in the Scottish Parliament on their issues on tax, spending and welfare, so too England as well as Wales and Northern Ireland should be able to vote on these issues.
"And all this must take place in tandem with and at the same pace as the settlement for Scotland."
The company, which also owns Legoland and the London Eye, said group pre-tax profits rose 0.3% to £250m from 2014.
Merlin said Alton Towers saw a "significant" fall in visitor numbers after the accident, which resulted in the park shutting for four days.
Chief executive Nick Varney said it had been "a challenging year".
Like-for-like sales at the group's resort theme parks division, which includes Alton Towers, fell 12.4%.
However, visitor numbers across the group rose 0.3% to 62.9 million, while revenues rose 2.3% to £1.27bn.
Mr Varney said in a statement that the figures showed Merlin had "delivered a robust performance in 2015. However, 2015 was a difficult year for Merlin following the accident at Alton Towers early in the summer season.
"The safety of our guests and employees must always come first and we have sought to learn every possible lesson to help ensure there is no repeat of what happened on 2 June."
Separately, Merlin announced that it was investing about $34.4m (£24.6m) in the Big Bus Tours company, giving it a stake of about 15% in the business. Big Bus provides hop-on city tours around the world.
Some of the characters have changed, of course. Femme fatale Hillary Clinton and her team of Democratic Party heavies have been replaced by tough-guy Donald Trump and the alt-right gang. Fans will be thrilled to learn, however, that top law-man James Comey is back for another turn in the spotlight.
In this year's first episode, the FBI director faces down congressional inquisitors, who press him for information on allegations that Russia - those long-time stock Hollywood villains - tried to meddle in the 2016 US presidential election.
Here's a quick review of what we learned and what we still don't know. No spoiler alerts are necessary - the big revelations will have to wait until the season finale ... if there ever is one.
There is an active, ongoing investigation
After a bit of grandstanding on the part of the top members of the House Intelligence Committee and a warm-up act from National Security Agency head Mike Rogers, Mr Comey led with the big news of the day.
"I have been authorised by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign, and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts," he said.
That there is an investigation isn't exactly breaking news - the BBC's Paul Wood reported on it in early January - but official acknowledgement is a significant development.
The fact that his investigation first began in July, during the heat of the 2016 election campaign, will likely leave Democrats howling. They will contrast Mr Comey's wide-ranging comments on the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server with his until-recent silence surrounding the Trump-related inquiry.
Mr Rogers also said that the intelligence community stands behind the declassified report it issued in early January that concluded that the Russia government attempted to influence the US election in a way that helped Mr Trump's candidacy.
There is 'no evidence' Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower
The other big revelation of the day was how thoroughly both Mr Comey and Mr Rogers debunked the president-tweeted allegation that Barack Obama or his Justice Department had authorised the wiretapping of Trump Tower.
"With respect to the president's tweets about alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration," Mr Comey said, "I have no information that supports those tweets. And we have looked carefully inside the FBI."
Indeed, the ability to order such surveillance was outside the powers of any president, Mr Comey said.
Mr Rogers also dismissed allegations that Mr Obama had bypassed domestic surveillance controls by requesting that British intelligence oversee the operation, noting that the accusation "frustrates a key ally of ours".
Donald Trump isn't backing down
Anyone expecting a chastened president to step forward after the day's proceedings obviously isn't a real fan of this particular show. Before the congressional hearings had even concluded, Mr Trump - or, perhaps, his staff, given that the tweets were unsigned - was firing off from the official @potus presidential account.
He tweeted that the NSA and FBI had confirmed that Russia "did not influence electoral process" (although they only had spoken about tampering with vote counts), that "unmasking individuals" in leaks - read, deposed National Security Advisor Michael Flynn - endangered national security and that leakers had been "unusually active" recently.
He also asserted that Mr Comey admitted that the Obama White House "had the ability" to do such unmasking and that the FBI director wouldn't deny that Mr Obama was told about the secret recording of Flynn's conversation with a Russian ambassador.
It doesn't take a super sleuth to deduce that the point of these tweets was to imply that it was the Obama administration, or perhaps even the ex-president himself, behind the leaks that have fuelled speculation about Trump-Russia election collusion.
Press secretary Sean Spicer was as combative as ever, saying that the president had no plans to apologise for accusing his predecessor of wiretapping Trump Tower.
When will this investigation end?
Although the FBI case has been open since July, Mr Comey said the effort is still in its early stages.
"For counterintelligence investigations, that's a fairly short period of time," he said.
That has to be more than a bit disconcerting to the Trump White House, which has been knocked off course by this Russia story since practically the moment Mr Trump took the oath of office. And while the administration seems intent on cracking down on unauthorised leaks out of this investigation, their efforts are unlikely to succeed.
A few weeks ago, the New York Times reported that Obama administration officials, prior to leaving office, had tried to disseminate intelligence related to Russian influence on the 2016 election as widely as possible in hopes of allowing it to eventually enter the public domain.
A one-two punch of those revelations and any new developments in the FBI investigation is likely to keep the Trump team off balance for quite some time.
"This work is very complex and there is no way for me to give you a timetable as to when it will be done," Mr Comey said in his opening remarks. "We approach this work in an open-minded, independent way and our expert investigators will conclude that work as quickly as they can but they will always do it well no matter how long that takes."
If Mrs Clinton were to come back for a cameo this year, she'd likely tell the audience that the only thing worse than an FBI investigation is an open-ended FBI investigation.
Who is targeted by this inquiry?
Time and again when asked about specific allegations or evidence relating to Russian contacts by specific members of the Trump campaign team, Mr Comey was silent.
Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who had ties to pro-Russian Ukrainian politicians? No comment.
Long-time Trump advisor Roger Stone, who reportedly had communications with individuals who hacked the Democratic National Committee emails? No comment.
Former National Security Advisor Flynn? No comment.
"I really don't want to get into answering questions about any individual US person," Mr Comey said.
On Saturday, Lawfare blog editor Benjamin Wittes wrote that the worst-case scenario for the Trump White House was if Mr Comey appeared before the congressional committee and was tight-lipped.
A loquacious Comey, he said, was evidence of an investigation that was near its end with little evidence of substantive wrongdoing in the higher levels of the Trump brain trust.
But what would happen, Wittes wondered, if Mr Comey's FBI investigation is turning up real evidence?
"In this situation, I would expect him to be minimally verbal. He may have to answer yes or no questions in certain instances, including about the truth of the wiretapping allegations, but he will refuse to answer a lot of questions. He will make as little news as humanly possible. He will be exceptionally spare with his opinions."
"I'm trying to be studiously vague to protect the integrity of the investigation," Mr Comey said at one point on Monday.
Wittes has since parsed the director's words and concluded that it was a bad day for Mr Trump. "Really bad."
Mr Comey's relative silence could be deadly.
What will Republicans do?
Going into Monday's congressional hearing there was more than a bit of unease among Republican politicians over the allegations of ties between the Trump team and Russian interests.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said his committee was going to "find out all things Russia".
"We're trying to build a case," he said. "So, this is what Russia's doing in other places. Then we're going to dig into what they did here."
During the House intelligence committee proceedings, however, Republican lawmakers hewed closely to the White House line that the real story is the illegality of the intelligence community leaks about Trump team contacts with Russian officials.
From committee Chair Devin Nunes on down, they focused laser-like on impressing on Mr Comey the damaging nature of the leaks and the need to determine who is responsible for them.
If this is the view of rank-and-file Republicans coming out of the Comey hearings, then the Trump administration likely will feel well equipped to weather any resulting storm.
Although the president has been sagging in recent polls, Republican support for Mr Trump continues to be strong. Given that conservatives hold the levers of power in Washington DC, a united party will be able to fend of Democratic allegations as long as the FBI investigation fails to turn up any solid evidence of malfeasance.
In other words, all eyes are on Mr Comey and the FBI once again.
Last year, his letter to Congress just two weeks before election day proved to be a seismic plot twist. Can the Trump-Russia investigation top that?

With Dumbarton having conceded a second goal, Carswell walked off the pitch with blood streaming from his nose after he clashed with the defender.
"It's not nice when that happens," Aitken told BBC Scotland.
"We were disappointed with the start. They are probably as frustrated as each other but it shouldn't really happen."
With 27 minutes gone, Paul McMullan had added to Nicky Clark's opener for the hosts to leave the Sons trailing 2-0.
But following the altercation between the Dumbarton players, Carswell left the pitch for treatment and substitute Sam Stanton was quickly sent on.
The manager continued: "There was a coming together between the two players. The referee never saw it. Nobody saw it.
"He had broken his nose in previous weeks. We had to make the change because we couldn't stop the blood. I have spoken to the two of them and we will get to the bottom of it. It's a passionate game.
"He is obviously disappointed with the action of his team-mate. He feels there was a coming together. Mark thought it was tit for tat or that (Carswell) had raised his hands first.
"We won't condone it but we really have to see the footage to see exactly what happened. I will speak to the people in the stand who did see it.
"The players both know. Neither has denied it. It's passionate and it's fuelled in the dressing room right now. But let's just let it calm down and have a look at the footage and take it from there."
Aitken insists there has "never been an issue" between the players.
"It's out of character," he said. "The only thing I can put it down to, and it's no excuse, is we are disappointed with two goals we have lost. I think they blamed each other and sometimes you see that.
"I don't like seeing that in teams I manage and I don't want players to act like that and I have told them that."
There is no cure for the condition.

showed increased social skills and less repetitive behaviour in animals taking a drug.
However, treatments which work in mice frequently fail in humans and potential medication would be years away.
Autism spectrum disorder is thought to affect around 1% of children. It ranges from mild to severe and symptoms include social problems, delayed language and repetitive movements such as hand tapping.
Autism is mainly treated with specialist education, speech and behavioural therapies.
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health said autism had been thought to be untreatable by drugs. The theory was that any problems would be "hardwired" into the brain.
However, they said there was evidence that in some cases autism could be down to the way cells in the brain communicate with each other at synapses, the gaps between individual brain cells.
They tested a drug, GRN-529, which interferes with the chemical glutamate, which helps two brain cells talk to each other.
Mice with "autistic behaviours" - this is not the same as mice actually having autism - were used.
"Autistic mice" are less social and communicate less with other mice. They also spend huge periods of time repetitively grooming themselves.
After the injection the mice spent less time grooming and also showed improvements in social levels.
The researchers said their findings "raise the possibility" that a drug could be used in autism.
Dr Jacqueline Crawley, one of the researchers from the National Institute of Mental Health, said: "Given the high costs - monetary and emotional - to families, schools and health care systems, we are hopeful that this line of studies may help meet the need for medications that treat core symptoms."
Uta Frith, a professor of cognitive development at University College London, said: "Processes at the level of the synapse have long been suspected in the origin of autism.
"However, it will be a long time until these findings can be translated for human patients. Tampering with the synapse may well result in undesirable side effects.
"Despite hopeful signs for a future drug treatment of at least some autistic behaviours, it would be sad if too much pressure was now put on researchers to rush into applications."
Richard Mills, the director of research at the National Autistic Society, said: "The NAS welcomes all research that improves our understanding of the neurobiology of autism.
"Research using animal models is important but it is not always easily translated into our understanding of autism in humans."
She has just passed all the tests to work under the banner of the Search And Rescue Dogs Association (SARDA), which sounds very serious, but for her it's all a game.
In fact, it's all about her soggy tennis ball.
Trainer David Carlile demonstrates the process.
"Heidi is trained to detect human scent in the air and then follow the scent, she then sees the person, comes back, indicates to me by barking and then leads me back to the person. And then she gets her toy," he said.
That might sound straight forward, but it has been two and half long years of hard work for David and Heidi.
He is a volunteer with the organisation and has had the dog since she was a puppy.
As a search and rescue dog, Heidi is trained to find the scent of living humans, unlike the cadaver dogs sometimes used in hunts for bodies.
Until now, the team have been working with a dog based in County Donegal, but Heidi is the first of those currently being trained to qualify in Northern Ireland.
It is obvious that Heidi will run pretty much anywhere when she knows she will get her soggy tennis ball toy at the end of it and David says that is the crucial ingredient.
"It's the high play drive that makes a good search dog and she definitely has that," he said.
For David, the reward is knowing that he can help people in dire straits.
For his day job, he works as a kitchen fitter, and says being self-employed makes it easier to respond if he is needed.
The SARDA handlers are all volunteers, and are used by the police, mountain rescue and fire brigade.
David says he is ready for their first official call.
"Heidi is with me pretty much 24 hours a day. She comes to work with me, I've a bag packed, and if the call comes through - we're good to go."
Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, the prime minister called it "the great human rights issue of our time".
She said a new UK cabinet taskforce would tackle the "sickening and inhuman crimes" while £33m from the aid budget would fund initiatives overseas.
Labour said the police needed better funding if they were to tackle slavery.
UK slave victims 'not getting proper support'
What does modern slavery look like around the world?
The most recent Home Office estimates suggest there are between 10,000 and 13,000 victims of modern slavery in the UK, with 45 million estimated victims across the world.
Victims are said to include women forced into prostitution, "imprisoned" domestic staff and workers in fields, factories and fishing boats.
Mrs May said: "From nail bars and car washes to sheds and rundown caravans, people are enduring experiences that are simply horrifying in their inhumanity.
"Vulnerable people who have travelled long distances, believing they were heading for legitimate jobs, are finding they have been duped, forced into hard labour, and then locked up and abused.
"Innocent individuals are being tricked into prostitution, often by people they thought they could trust. Children are being made to pick-pocket on the streets and steal from cash machines."
Modern slaves in the UK, often said to be hiding in plain sight, are working in our nail bars, on construction sites, in brothels, on cannabis farms and in agriculture.
Traffickers are using the internet to lure their victims with hollow promises of jobs, education and even love.
Albania, Nigeria, Vietnam, Romania and Poland are the most likely countries of origin, but some victims are from the UK itself. In 2013, 90 were UK nationals.
There is no typical victim. They can be men, women or children of all ages but it is normally more prevalent among the most vulnerable, minorities or socially-excluded groups.
Many believe they are escaping poverty, limited opportunities at home, a lack of education, unstable social and political conditions or war. But their slave masters are usually out to make financial gain.
Sexual exploitation is the most common form of modern slavery reported in the UK, followed by labour exploitation, forced criminal exploitation and domestic servitude.
In 2014, the Home Office estimated there were between 10,000 and 13,000 potential victims in the UK - just 2,340 of those were officially reported and recorded.

Mrs May said a review to mark the first anniversary of the Modern Slavery Act, which she drew up as home secretary, found there had been 289 modern slavery offences prosecuted in 2015 - and a 40% rise in the number of victims identified.
But barrister Caroline Haughey, who carried out the review, said she found that police and criminal justice agencies lacked consistency in dealing with the issue.
Mrs May said the first government taskforce on modern slavery would see ministers "get a real grip of this issue right across Whitehall and co-ordinate and drive further progress in the battle against this cruel exploitation".
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary will also be asked to carry out an investigation to make sure that all police forces in England and Wales "treat this crime with the priority it deserves".
"[The government] must work collaboratively with law enforcement agencies across the world, to track and stop these pernicious gangs who operate across borders and jurisdictions," Mrs May said.
She added: "These crimes must be stopped and the victims of modern slavery must go free...
"Just as it was Britain that took an historic stand to ban slavery two centuries ago, so Britain will once again lead the way in defeating modern slavery and preserving the freedoms and values that have defined our country for generations."
Sarah Champion, Labour's shadow minister for preventing abuse, said government cuts to police forces and local authorities had left professionals without the resources to stamp out slavery.
"We must be doing more to prevent this horrendous crime but, looking at her [Theresa May's] track record as home secretary, I'm not optimistic," she said.
She cited figures that last year 982 children were identified as victims of modern slavery and taken into local authority care, but within days, 60% had gone missing, presumed to be back with their traffickers.
The Modern Slavery Act 2015 states an offence is committed if someone holds another in slavery or servitude or requires them to perform forced or compulsory labour.
The legislation increased the maximum jail term for people traffickers from 14 years to life, and gave courts in England and Wales powers to impose orders to restrict the activities of suspected traffickers.
It was aimed at consolidating offences used to prosecute those who enslave others into a single act.

The inquiry into the crash has heard that Harry Clarke, 58, lied about previous blackouts in order to get driving jobs.
Asked to say sorry that this "led to the deaths of... innocent people", Mr Clarke replied: "No, I can't say that."
He did not answer all questions as he may still face a private prosecution.
Two of the bereaved families have indicated they intend to take action against Mr Clarke for alleged dangerous driving after the Crown Office said it would not prosecute him.
The fatal accident inquiry (FAI) at Glasgow Sheriff Court is looking at Mr Clarke's health, the bin lorry and its route.
The inquiry has already heard that Mr Clarke was unconscious at the wheel of the Glasgow City Council bin lorry when it veered out of control on Queen Street on 22 December, killing six people and injuring 15 others.
It has also heard that he suffered an earlier blackout at the wheel of a stationary bus in 2010 when he worked for First Bus as a driver.
This episode, and his history of dizziness and other ailments, were not disclosed to Glasgow City Council and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
In his second and final day of evidence, Mr Clarke was cross-examined by Dorothy Bain QC, who is acting for the bereaved Morton family.
She accused him of telling "a pack of lies" about his history of blackouts and accused him of showing "reckless indifference" by not disclosing earlier fainting episodes.
After he refused to answer questions relating to his medical history, the QC asked if he would like witnesses to tell the truth if his own daughter had died.
Mr Clarke refused to answer.
Ms Bain said the six victims would still be alive if he had been honest about his medical past because he would never have been given jobs as a driver.
"You should never have been behind the wheel and you knew that," she told him.
"You took a chance and it has taken the lives of six people. The difference is you had a choice."
Ms Bain said the phrase "I'm all right Jack" summed up Mr Clarke's attitude.
The QC said that it was "incredible and beyond belief" that following the bin lorry tragedy, Mr Clarke had pursued getting his licence back.
She ended her cross-examination by saying that if Mr Clarke had told the truth "all this could have been prevented".
Mr Clarke was then cross-examined by Mark Stewart QC, representing the bereaved McQuade family.
He again refused to answer any questions about his medical history.
The QC asked him to "take the risk" of answering questions, but Mr Clarke said he did not want to answer.
Ronald Conway, the lawyer for the bereaved Tait family was next to cross-examine Mr Clarke.
He questioned Mr Clarke about the 2010 fainting incident when he was a bus driver. He again refused to answer.
Mr Conway said that if he had not been challenged by an inspector, who attended the scene having been notified by a passenger, Mr Clarke would have just driven on and not mentioned it.
The witness did not comment.
The lawyer then noted that Mr Clarke got a doctor's appointment that day, adding "desperate situations require desperate remedies".
Referring to earlier evidence where it was said Mr Clarke had told his doctor he fainted in the First Bus canteen, Mr Conway said: "You span the doctor a line about queuing in a hot canteen.
"You then told the occupational doctor at work that your own doctor said you were fit to drive.
"You could not believe your luck when you got away with it, could you?"
Again, Mr Clarke did not answer.
The lawyer went on: "Just another little white lie for you. No harm done."
Mr Conway said that after Mr Clarke left First Bus and got a job with Glasgow City Council, 2010 had "receded into history".
"You pretended it never happened," he said, adding: "The past has a way of catching up with all of us."
He asserted that Mr Clarke has a "high susceptibility" to fainting.
Alluding to the consequences of Mr Clarke not disclosing this, he said: "The little white lie of April 2010 is actually a big black lie."
He continued: "Mr Clarke, I would give you the chance to say 'I'm sorry I told lies in April 2010 and I know and accept that those lies led to the deaths of those innocent people'.
"Can you say that Mr Clarke?"
He replied: "No I can't say that."
Mr Conway concluded his cross-examination by saying that if Mr Clarke had told the truth he would never have been behind the wheel of the bin lorry.
With his evidence to the FAI concluded, Mr Clarke left the witness stand.
The inquiry will resume on Tuesday, when closing submissions will begin. | The driver who blacked out at the wheel of a Glasgow bin lorry before it killed six people has refused to say sorry for "lies" he told about his health. | 34,016,267 | 1,128 | 40 | false |
The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit banned the group from "physically attacking any vessel engaged by the plaintiffs".
The court was responding to an appeal by Japan's whalers, after an earlier case was rejected.
The injunction remains in force until the court formally rules on the appeal.
The ruling by the court also bans Sea Shepherd from "navigating in a manner that is likely to endanger the safe navigation" of any whaling vessel.
Every year, vessels from the US-based Sea Shepherd follow the Japanese whaling fleet south to try and disrupt its activities.
Numerous collisions, clashes and boardings have occurred in the past, with each side blaming the other for aggressive tactics.
Guide to the Great Whales
The group was founded by Paul Watson, who is wanted by Interpol after skipping bail in Germany. He is accused of endangering the crew of a Costa Rican ship that was fishing for sharks in 2002.
He is currently on a Sea Shepherd vessel preparing to pursue the Japanese fleet.
Japan's fleet sails to the Antarctic in the autumn or winter each year, returning the following spring.
There has been a ban on commercial whaling for 25 years, but Japan catches about 1,000 whales each year in what it says is a scientific research programme.
Critics say it is commercial whaling in another guise. Australia and New Zealand are pursuing a legal case against Japan in international courts.
Last year Japan cut short its whaling season - a move attributed to the harassment by Sea Shepherd.
Japan's Institute of Cetacean Research, which oversees whaling, welcome the court's move.
But Sea Shepherd vowed to continue its activities, questioning the legality of the ruling.
"It is a complex situation whereby a United States court is issuing an injunction against Dutch and Australian vessels carrying an international crew, operating out of Australia and New Zealand in international waters," it said in a statement on its website. | A US court has ordered conservation group Sea Shepherd to stay at least 500 yards away from Japan's whaling fleet in the Southern Ocean. | 20,778,616 | 440 | 30 | false |
Nitin Gadkari said the government would "not allow any technology that takes away jobs".
He said India needed to recruit about 22,000 more commercial drivers and would be opening 100 training facilities to address the need.
India's road system and sometimes chaotic traffic makes it a difficult place to develop the technology.
The Hindustan Times reports Mr Gadkari as saying: "We won't allow driverless cars in India. I am very clear on this.
"In a country where you have unemployment, you can't have a technology that ends up taking people's jobs."
However, he did not rule out the idea of a future change of policy.
"Maybe some years down the line we won't be able to ignore it, but as of now, we shouldn't allow it," he added.
Inderpreet Kaur, an analyst at research firm Ovum said: "The ministry has cited job losses as a reason behind banning autonomous cars in India, a bigger challenge would be to have ready infrastructure for these self-driving cars."
Google, BMW, Tesla, Audi and Uber are among businesses working hard to be the first to bring truly autonomous cars on to roads.
Self-drive technology trials, both for private cars and commercial vehicles, are being carried out around the world.
Google has been testing self-drive cars in California and other states since 2012.
Paris began a three-month test of self-driving buses at the beginning of the year, and in the UK a consortium of companies plans to test driverless cars on motorways in 2019, while others are testing cars in off-road sites, including in London.
Commenting on the decision on Twitter, Indian congressman Gaurav Pandhi tweeted: "The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) said the same when Rajiv Gandhi talked about introducing computers to India. They haven't really changed."
The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust said 27% of survivors had been targeted because of their religion or ethnicity.
Their family members were even more likely to be affected, with 38% saying they had been abused.
The trust polled 208 survivors of the Holocaust and Rwandan, Cambodian and Bosnian genocides, and 173 relatives.
The research was released ahead of an annual event in central London marking Holocaust Memorial Day.
It showed nearly three-quarters (72%) of survivors said they felt "very" or "fairly welcome" when they arrived in Britain.
About half (52%) said they waited more than 20 years before talking about their experiences.
Most said they did so to help more people understand what happened.
Holocaust survivor, Joan Salter, was a three-month-old baby when Belgium was invaded by the Nazis.
Her father was deported and her mother imprisoned.
In 1943, Ms Salter was put on a boat by the Red Cross and sent to live with a foster family in the United States.
She was reunited with her parents in London two years after World War Two had ended.
"It was anything but a fairytale ending though - both my parents were severely traumatised by what they'd experienced, broken in health, spirit and mind.
"Everyone deals with these things in their own ways. My mother was never able to talk about what had happened to her, it was just too painful."
Chief executive of the holocaust trust, Olivia Marks-Woldman, said the current persecution served as a "valuable reminder of how vital Holocaust Memorial Day is".
"It's shocking to think that these individuals, having survived some of the very worst acts in human history, have experienced hatred and discrimination on the streets of the country that is now their refuge," she added.
Despite more than a quarter of the survivors saying they still think about their experiences daily, 40% said their experiences had made them appreciate life more.
Ms Marks-Woldman said experiences were still "very raw" but that survivors were determined to share their stories to help tackle intolerance and prejudice.
The time it has taken people to talk about their holocaust experience suggests those who survived Rwanda and Bosnia genocides may now start to come forward, she added.
"We must all make sure we play our part in supporting them in sharing those stories, and acknowledging the terrible threats that discrimination can pose for our societies. We cannot allow hatred to take hold."
Work is under way to demolish and replace the station building.
The build was due to be completed in spring this year but the discovery of gas and water services led to delays.
A spokesman for Network Rail said: "The site is safe and secure."
People with mobility issues can arrange access to the platform through a locked gate at the level crossing in advance of travel but Yvonne Singleton from Neath Port Talbot Disability Network Action Group has said that this does not feel safe with the ongoing work.
Mrs Singleton said: "People with disabilities have been travelling to Neath to get a train.
"If you ask in advance they will take you to the platform through the old gateway but it feels dangerous with all the building work."
Neath Port Talbot Disability Network Action Group has been consulted over plans for the new station and are happy that handrails and lifts will feature in the new build.
Network Rail said that demolishing the current station was scheduled to take place later this year.
Plans for the new station include an enclosed footbridge that will house the ticket office and waiting areas, lift access to all platforms and a large car park with a park and ride for commuters.
The spokesman added: "Alternative arrangements are in place to provide access around the station area.
"We would encourage any passengers with concerns to speak to station staff for assistance."
Police said up to 20 headstones and memorials at Derry City Cemetery were damaged some time between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.
PSNI Insp Jennifer Hudson said: "This will obviously cause distress to a number of families and local community.
"I would appeal to anyone with any information about this to contact Strand Road Police Station."
It said "serious disturbances" and the imposition of a state of emergency prompted the move, which is being implemented on a voluntary basis.
Violence flared after the murder of a Buddhist woman last month, followed by an attack on a bus carrying Muslims.
Bangladesh said it had stopped dozens of people trying to flee Burma by sea.
The UN released a statement saying it had decided "to temporarily relocate, on a voluntary basis, non-essential international and national" UN staff, affiliated organisations and their families.
The statement said it had requested full government support for the safety and security of all its staff and their families in Maungdaw, Buthidaung and Sittwe while they are relocated to the main city, Rangoon.
Q&A: Unrest in Rakhine state
Official media said the state of emergency, imposed late Sunday night, was in response to increasing unrest and attacks and "intended to restore security and stability to the people immediately".
According to a Reuters report, the violence over the weekend began on Friday in the town of Maungdaw, spreading to state capital Sittwe and neighbouring villages.
Rival Buddhist and Muslim groups were seen setting houses on fire, reports said.
In a televised speech, President Thein Sein said the violence could put the country's moves towards democracy in danger.
Neighbouring Bangladesh has increased its security presence on the border amid fears of an exodus.
The Border Guard Bangladesh force on Monday said it had turned away a number of boats carrying refugees. Reports of the number of people ranged from 50 to 300.
The clashes in Burma began on 4 June when a mob attacked a bus in Taungup, Rakhine province, apparently mistakenly believing some of the passengers were responsible for the earlier rape and murder of a Buddhist woman.
Rakhine state is named after the ethnic Rakhine Buddhist majority, but also has a sizeable Muslim population, including the Rohingyas.
The Rohingyas are a Muslim ethnic group and are stateless, as Burma considers them to be illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
A nominally civilian government was elected in Burma in 2010 and, in April this year, opposition politicians led by Aung San Suu Kyi entered Burma's parliament following historic by-elections.
However, the government is still dominated by the military and concerns over political repression and human rights abuses continue.
Luis Enrique made five changes from the side who beat PSG 6-1, with the injured Neymar ruled out.
Barca were below par, falling behind to a close-range Joselu finish.
Luis Suarez equalised seconds after the restart but an Alex Bergantinos header sealed Depor's win.
It was the first game Barcelona have ever lost when Suarez has scored, following 67 wins and five draws.
Real Madrid went top by two points after beating Real Betis 2-1 later on Sunday.
Barcelona had produced one of football's famous comebacks on Wednesday after scoring three times after the 87th minute to beat Paris St-Germain 6-1 - 6-5 on aggregate - in the Champions League last 16.
But those heroics seemed to have taken it out of them and they missed Neymar, who scored two and assisted the other of the late goals against PSG.
Pepe Mel's Deportivo, who are one place above the relegation zone, deserved to win, and also went close to a goal when Alejandro Arribas' header was tipped onto the post by Marc-Andre ter Stegen - with Bergantinos' winner coming from the resulting corner.
Lionel Messi, who failed to score for the first time in six games, fired a late free-kick over as they lost the edge in the title race.

The drone was thought to be armed and threatening US-led coalition troops on the ground, officials said.
But Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said the action amounted to "complicity with terrorism".
The incident comes after the US shot down a Syrian fighter plane on Sunday and another drone earlier this month.
The F-15 plane downed the drone around 00:30 on Tuesday (21:30 GMT Monday) north-east of Tanf, an outpost of the US-led coalition, according to a US military statement.
The incident underscores the growing tensions in the region as a battle develops for the control of eastern Syria, BBC defence and diplomatic correspondent Jonathan Marcus says.
In another development, the US military announced officially that coalition forces had killed the top cleric of so-called Islamic State (IS), Turki al-Binali, in an air strike in Syria last month. IS supporters have also reported his death.
Military officials who spoke to CNN described it as a Shahed 129, a model unveiled by Iran in 2012.
It is said by the Iranians to have a range of 2,000km (1,240 miles) and be capable of carrying bombs and missiles.
"They were threatening our forces on the ground," the US official quoted by AFP said. "Their course was on a run toward our folks to drop a munition on them."
The last drone the US says it shot down was also reportedly destroyed near Tanf after firing on coalition forces.
Tanf has been used by Western special forces as well as Syrian rebel forces.
The Syrian plane destroyed on Sunday, a Su-22 fighter bomber, was hit after reportedly dropping bombs near the town of Tabqa in Raqqa province.
In response, Russia, one of Syria's main allies, announced that US-led coalition warplanes flying west of the River Euphrates would be tracked by Russian anti-aircraft forces in the sky and on the ground and treated as targets
It suspended a hotline set up to avoid clashes between US and Russian aircraft in the region.
With IS under growing pressure in Raqqa the fight is on for who controls the territory after its demise, our correspondent says.
Iranian-backed pro-Syrian regime forces are pushing forward on a number of fronts, and the US is equally eager to resist what it sees as a widening of Iranian influence.
Iran says it attacked IS fighters in eastern Syria with long-range missiles on Sunday.
So the tensions locally are mounting between the US and pro-regime forces; between the US and the Russians; and more broadly between Washington and Tehran.
By accident or design, any one of these sources of friction could prompt a much more significant military encounter, our correspondent adds.
Originally from Bahrain, Binali joined IS in 2014 and played a key role within the group acting as its top religious official and offering guidance to its leaders and militants alike, BBC Monitoring reports.
US Central Command says he was killed by an air strike on 31 May in the eastern town of Mayadin.
IS supporters went online to announce his death.
Saving Private Ryan, Rosemary's Baby and Dustin Hoffman film Little Big Man have also been chosen for preservation at the Library of Congress.
Other new additions include Luxo Jr, one of the earliest short films to be produced by animation powerhouse Pixar.
This year's selections bring the number of films in the collection to 650.
The registry was instigated in 1989 to ensure that notable titles from America's movie history would be preserved for posterity.
The films admitted, which must be at least 10 years old, are selected from hundreds of titles nominated by the public.
Released in 1998, The Big Lebowski was written and directed by the Coen brothers and introduced the world to pot-smoking slacker "The Dude".
Played by Jeff Bridges, the character - real name Jeffrey Lebowski - has developed a dedicated fan following, as has Bueller, the resourceful high school truant immortalised by Matthew Broderick in John Hughes' 1986 comedy.
Based on Roald Dahl's children's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka - starring Gene Wilder as the eponymous and often sadistic "candy man" - is another perennially popular title.
According to the National Film Registry's list of new additions, "Wilder's brilliant portrayal... caused theatregoers to like and fear Wonka at the same time".
Rosemary's Baby, it continues, is "a masterpiece of the horror-film genre" from director Roman Polanski that "conveys an increasing sense of unease, claustrophobia and paranoia".
This week saw Polanski, now 81, launch a new bid to have a 37-year-old child sex case closed after attempts were made to extradite him to the US during a visit to Poland in October.
Released in 1986, Luxo Jr is a two-and-a-half minute short in which two moving desk lamps interact with a brightly coloured ball.
Its title character has since made an appearance at the start of every feature film produced by Pixar, the studio behind Finding Nemo and the Toy Story films.
Other titles admitted this year include Betty Grable's 1940 musical Down Argentine Way, the 1953 version of horror film House of Wax and John Wayne's 1959 western Rio Bravo.
Also added to the registry are seven reels of untitled and unassembled footage from 1913 featuring African-American vaudeville star Bert Williams.
Hamilton pipped the Ferrari driver as Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas took third - only 0.042secs further back.
Hamilton and Vettel look certain to be at the front after qualifying as Bottas has a five-place grid penalty.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was 0.669secs off the pace with the impressive Renault of Nico Hulkenberg in fifth.
Hulkenberg's team-mate Jolyon Palmer was down in 14th place, nearly a second slower than the German.

Renault's pace has been boosted by a new floor introduced this weekend and it put them ahead of Red Bull, with Daniel Ricciardo sixth quickest, 0.132secs slower than Hulkenberg.
Like Bottas, the Australian has a five-place grid penalty for an unauthorised gearbox change.
Ricciardo's team-mate Max Verstappen did not manage to complete a qualifying simulation run because of rain with 15 minutes to go, which effectively ended the session early.
The Dutchman ended up eighth, the Red Bulls split by Haas driver Romain Grosjean.

Verstappen was involved in an amusing moment of team radio when his engineer warned him about yellow caution flags at Turn Seven, only for Verstappen, who had just run wide at the corner, to reply: "Yes, because of me."
Williams driver Felipe Massa was ninth, ahead of the McLarens, with Stoffel Vandoorne ahead of Fernando Alonso for a change - albeit by only 0.05secs. McLaren say the Belgian is making progress in adapting to the pace of F1 in his debut season.
All the drivers went out in the final minutes to try out Pirelli's 2017 intermediate tyres for the first time.
Ricciardo had a spin out of the last corner, Sauber's Marcus Ericsson lost the car on the bump on the entry into Vale and Hamilton ran wide in the new stadium section.
A total of 90,930 people in England and Wales found themselves in that situation, the Insolvency Service said.
However, the numbers, although rising, remain well below the peak level of insolvencies reached in 2010.
The head of the Bank of England warned recently that "vigilance" was needed over rising levels of debt.
Insolvencies in England and Wales were lower in 2016 than in any year from 2006 to 2014.
They also fell towards the end of the year - dropping by 4.3% in the fourth quarter compared with the previous three months.
In Scotland, which operates under a separate system, personal insolvencies rose by 7.9% in the final three months of the year compared with the previous quarter.
These insolvencies, which include bankruptcies and protected trust deeds, totalled 2,616, according to Accountant in Bankruptcy - Scotland's insolvency service. Those in debt also have the option of an official debt payment programme, which avoids insolvency.
The figures come after Bank of England governor Mark Carney warned of a "shift" in the levels of personal unsecured borrowing, which is rising at its fastest rate for a decade.
Mark Sands, personal insolvency partner at consultancy RSM, said: "In 2015 we saw the lowest levels of personal insolvency in over a decade, but the latest figures for 2016 show that the tide has now turned.
"Despite record low interest rates and high employment levels during the year, many more people found that they could no longer keep on top of their debts.
"The Bank of England has recently warned of 'ballooning levels of household debt' which are being driven by historic low rates. This is increasing the risk that some borrowers will bite off more than they can chew. As a result, we expect to see levels of personal insolvency rise throughout 2017."
There are a number of ways in which someone with out-of-control debts can declare themselves insolvent.
The rise in insolvencies in 2016 was still primarily the result of Individual Voluntary Arrangements, an official deal - overseen by an insolvency practitioner - that sees steady payments made from an individual to creditors over five years.
Other options for those with unmanageable debts include bankruptcy. This is regarded as the most recognised form of insolvency by the public, and has just seen the biggest overhaul in its rules for 30 years.
A new system in England and Wales means bankruptcy applications are made online, without the need to go to court.
The shift from court to internet, introduced in April, was in part an attempt to eliminate that perceived stigma.
This pushed up the number of people in debt choosing bankruptcy in the latter half of 2016.
Bankruptcy: The traditional way of escaping overwhelming debt. Ends after one year, but there is a possibility you may lose your assets, including your house, to pay something to the creditors. Since April, applications can be made online and considered by an adjudicator. Costs £680
Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA): A deal between you and your creditors, overseen by an insolvency practitioner. Less chance of losing your home, but involves paying some of your debts in one go
Debt Relief Orders: Introduced in April 2009, these allow people with debts of less than £15,000 (£20,000 since October 2015) and minimal assets to write off debts without a full-blown bankruptcy

The 10% increase in profit was helped by strong sales of its sport-utility-vehicles.
Despite the better than expected results the carmaker's shares slipped 2%, as investors expressed disappointment in BMW's dividend plan.
The German carmaker will raise its dividend to €3.20 per share from €2.90 from the year before.
Sales volumes rose 6.1% globally. China was the only market to show signs of slowing - sales climbed just 1.6% after years of speedy growth.
Sales in Europe rose 9.4% while sales in the US climbed 2.2%.
BMW forecast that 2016 sales volume would top last years.
"We are again targeting a new sales volume record in 2016, with sales expected to be slightly up on the previous year," said BMW chairman, Harald Kraeuger.
BMW celebrates its 100th anniversary this week.
It happened on the southbound carriageway between Stow and Galashiels close to the B710 junction for Clovenfords at about 18:00 on Thursday.
The 66-year-old man was signalled to pull over by a van driver and the two became involved in a dispute.
The suspect then punched the man and smashed his pick-up's wing mirror.
The victim sustained minor facial injuries but did not require medical attention, police said.
He was driving a silver Hyundai iload pick-up vehicle and the van involved was white and green.
PC Sarah Younger from Galashiels Police Station said: "This dispute and subsequent assault seems to have been over a relatively minor issue, but resulted in the victim being assaulted and his vehicle being damaged.
"I would ask that anyone who was on the A7 on Wednesday evening and witnessed this exchange, or who has information that can help us identify the suspect, contacts police immediately."
The former Germany captain, 32, has been allowed to negotiate potential moves with interested parties.
He is thought to be interested in joining an MLS side and met Chicago coach Veljko Paunovic over the weekend.
Schweinsteiger returned to first-team training after being forced to work on his own by Jose Mourinho.
However, it is not anticipated he will get a recall by the Red Devils manager.
Schweinsteiger, who joined United from Bayern Munich in a £14.4m deal in July 2015, has not played for the Premier League club since a 1-0 win at Manchester City in March, under Mourinho's predecessor Louis van Gaal.
He has made a total of 31 appearances for the club.

Jacob Butterfield dented his former club's ambitions of reaching the top two with a deflected finish, leaving them seven points adrift of Newcastle.
In a first half of few chances, Collin Quaner put the visitors ahead when he converted Martin Cranie's cross.
Derby rarely threatened before Butterfield's late long-range effort.
Butterfield's goal two minutes from full-time leaves the Terriers fourth in the table - with a game in hand on all sides above them - but was not enough to salvage Derby's play-off aspirations as they slipped 10 points behind the top six.
The result added to the celebrations on the south coast as it meant Brighton were mathematically assured of top-flight return after a 34-year absence.
It also came as a relief to Newcastle supporters following their side's 3-1 defeat by Ipswich earlier in the day, as victory for Huddersfield would have moved them to within five points of the Magpies.
German forward Quaner opened the scoring after a fine team move and while Darren Bent did have the ball in the back of the net in response soon after, the goal was ruled out for offside.
Despite the draw now leaving Derby with nothing left to play for this season, it ensured Garry Rowett avoided a first home defeat on an afternoon that his controversial replacement at Birmingham City, Gianfranco Zola, resigned from his post.
Derby manager Gary Rowett: "We want more quality and penetration, but I'm pleased with the character of the team.
"We kept going and did not lose hope, you have got to keep doing the right things for the whole period and we got something out of the game.
"We showed plenty of patience against a tough team. We have got some quality players but the balance is not there."
Huddersfield head coach David Wagner: "If we secure a play-off spot then we will be very happy. We are humble and we know how difficult it is to get points in this division.
"We are Huddersfield Town and to have this points total is an unbelievable achievement. We have to focus on ourselves and not Newcastle.
"We are in a wonderful position but we do not have enough points yet. We would like to have more points and we would like more good performances."

Currently there is no general screening programme in the UK, despite this cancer being one of the most common types.
It is estimated that about 100,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the UK every year.
But many cases go undetected for years, meaning delayed treatment and a poorer outlook.
The most harmful type of skin cancer, called malignant melanoma, kills more than 2,500 people in the UK every year.
Most cases are preventable - skin cancer is caused by too much exposure to UV light from the sun or sunbeds - but the rates have been increasing over recent years.
People at greatest risk are those with fair, freckled skin and lots of moles.
Signs to be aware of include changes to moles, such as itching, bleeding or changing shape or colour.
In women, the cancers occur most commonly on the legs. For men, it is the back. But up to a fifth affect the skin of the head and neck.
Lesions on the scalp and the back of the neck can easily go unnoticed, and experts say hairdressers are the ideal people to spot these.
Writing in the latest edition of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, US doctors say: "We should not wait for our patients with skin cancer to come to us when it may be too late, but use research and outreach methods to improve early detection of head and neck melanomas by capitalising on the role of hairdressers and their unique relationship with our potential clients."
Hairdressers would not be expected to make the diagnosis, but instead to tactfully point out any lumps, bumps or sores they find to their client who can bring it to the attention of their own doctor.
Anecdotal research suggests such training is achievable, and work carried out by Nottingham City Hospital NHS Trust found of those hairdressers polled most were keen to do take on the extra responsibility.
Campaigners say the checks could become routine, alongside a cut and blow dry, in the UK's 36,000 hair salons.
In 2010, the Melanoma Taskforce, a panel of UK skin cancer experts chaired by Sian James MP, produced a set of guidelines for hairdressers and beauty therapists to help them identify malignant melanoma and two other common, less aggressive forms of skin cancer - basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
A spokeswoman for the British Association of Dermatologists, a charity that is part of the taskforce, said: "It would be dangerous to suggest that such a small amount of 'training' qualifies health and beauty professionals to diagnose skin cancer.
"However, they can help in spotting changes to the skin in places that their clients can't usually see."
Sarah Williams, of Cancer Research UK, also part of the taskforce, said such strategies now needed evaluating to see whether they do achieve the desired effect.
She added: "Spotting skin cancer early makes treatment more likely to be successful. So it's important to raise awareness of the changes to look out for and encourage people to visit their GP if they notice anything unusual.
"Signs of skin cancer everyone can look out for include changes to the size, shape or colour of a mole, any other change to a mole or patch of skin, or a sore that hasn't healed after several weeks. If you notice any of these changes, it's best to get them checked out by a doctor without delay."
Andrija Pavlovic opened the scoring with a cool finish and Andy Mitchell headed Christoffer Remmer's cross into his own net just before half-time.
Andreas Cornelius headed powerfully home and then Rasmus Falk fired in the fourth from close range.
Jan Gregus netted with a fine free-kick and Cornelius grabbed his second.
Trailing 3-0 from the first leg, the Irish League champions travelled to the Danish capital without skipper Colin Coates, who was on holiday.
The hosts had early chances, with Cornelius heading wide and then crossing for Pavlovic, who was unable to find the net.
Pavlovic made no mistake from 12 yards out in the 15th minute, however, finishing off a pass from Falk with style.
Kasper Kusk missed from five yards out, before the unfortunate Mitchell scored an own goal just before the interval.
Cornelius' back-post header three minutes after the resumption made it 3-0, before Falk scored his second of the tie and Gregus beat Sean O'Neill with a well-taken free-kick.
Cornelius notched his third goal of the tie with 14 minutes remaining as his side set up a third qualifying round meeting with Romanian champions Astra Giurgiu.

Researchers discovered jaw bones and teeth, which date to between 3.3m and 3.5m years old.
It means this new hominin was alive at the same time as several other early human species, suggesting our family tree is more complicated than was thought.
The study is published in the journal Nature.
The new species has been called Australopithecus deyiremeda, which means "close relative" in the language spoken by the Afar people.
The ancient remains are thought to belong to four individuals, who would have had both ape and human-like features..
Lead researcher Dr Yohannes Haile-Selassie, curator of physical anthropology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in the US, told BBC News: "We had to look at the detailed anatomy and morphology of the teeth and the upper and lower jaws, and we found major differences.
"This new species has very robust jaws. In addition, we see this new species had smaller teeth. The canine is really small - smaller than all known hominins we have documented in the past."
The age of the remains means that this was potentially one of four different species of early humans that were all alive at the same time.
The most famous of these is Australopithecus afarensis - known as Lucy - who lived between 2.9-3.8m years ago, and was initially thought to be our direct ancestor.
However the discovery of another species called Kenyanthropus platyops in Kenya in 2001, and of Australopithecus bahrelghazali in Chad, and now Australopithecus deyiremedaI, suggests that there were several species co-existing.
Some researchers dispute whether the various partial remains really constitute different species, particularly for A. bahrelghazali. But Dr Haile-Selassie said the early stage of human evolution was probably surprisingly complex.
"Historically, because we didn't have the fossil evidence to show there was hominin diversity during the middle Pliocene, we thought there was only one lineage, one primitive ancestor - in this case Australopithecus afarensis, Lucy - giving rise to the next.
"That hypothesis of linear evolution has to be revisited. And now with the discovery of more species, like this new one... you have another species roaming around.
"What this means is we have many species that could give rise to later hominins, including our own genus Homo."
Dr Haile-Selassie said that even more fossils need to be unearthed, to better understand the path that human evolution took.
He added that finding additional ancient remains could also help researchers examine how the different species lived side-by-side - whether they mixed or avoided each other, and how they shared food and other resources in their landscape.

He said the former deputy governor made a serious but "honest mistake" and that the Bank would learn from the affair.
But he also warned against an overly punitive approach to misconduct in the banking industry, saying it could leave "senior managers running scared".
Ms Hogg quit earlier in March over a conflict of interest.
She had failed to mention, before her appointment, that her brother was a senior executive at Barclays - a lender regulated by the Bank of England.
In the speech, Mr Carney said: "A series of scandals ranging from mis-selling to manipulation have undermined trust in banking, the financial system, and, to some degree, markets themselves.
He added: "The economic consequences have been enormous. Global banks' misconduct costs have now reached over $320bn (£257m) - capital that could otherwise have supported up to $5tn of lending to households and businesses."
He said the financial system needed "stronger deterrents". However, he also urged more focus on creating a better banking culture.
This included reducing opportunities for bad behaviour and requiring compensation rules "that align better risk and reward".
He also suggested there had been an "excessive reliance" on "punitive" fines of firms who misbehaved.
"We have emphasised measures to ensure firms and their employees take responsibility - individually and collectively - for their own conduct," he said.
On Ms Hogg's appointment, Mr Carney said he had been clear upfront that there should be consequences for both her and the Bank.
However, he called her omission an "honest mistake that was freely and transparently admitted" and "not a firing offence".
He said he respected the Treasury Committee's decision to publish a highly critical report on Ms Hogg, as well as her decision to resign.
But he said the affair illustrated his wider point about regulation.
"We must not let recent events inadvertently tighten perceived standards for the industry because that could have senior managers running scared, drive compliance underground and undermine our collective objectives.
"Another risk, flagged by some, is that it will also become harder to find candidates of sufficient calibre willing to take on senior roles."
The craze of real life escape rooms, or exit games, has really taken off in the past couple of years.
Less than two years ago there were only seven of them in the UK. Now there are nearly 100, and new ones are opening almost every week.
A bit like the fondly remembered TV programmes The Adventure Game and The Crystal Maze, the idea is for teams of people to complete challenges and accomplish tasks to reveal the code or locate the key to escape.
Chris Dickson, who runs the Exit Games UK website, says people like puzzles "because they like surprising themselves".
"A good puzzle will look impossible at first, but is designed to be solved. If you find a way to solve it you'll feel good about yourself.
"And perhaps you can crack other problems in your life that look impossible at first glance as well."
James Sweetnam, who owns City Mazes in Bristol, thinks the craze has taken off because people "get the bug".
"People love playing games. It's something you can do with friends and it's great fun.
"Once you've done one, you want to go and do another," he says.
After opening its first escape room just a month ago, the company already has three more planned - in Cardiff, London and Dubai.
Exit games are popular with adults, teenagers, families and even couples on dates.
And because they require teamwork and communication skills they are also popular as team-building exercises and corporate training events.
When the BBC visited City Mazes, a team of solicitors from Bristol was in action, trying to escape from an old abandoned office scenario.
One of them, Ben Scaffee, said the experience was "really interesting and challenging".
"We were looking for something to do on a Christmas night out, and we thought this would be something a bit different.
"We all work together so it was a real team bonding exercise - it was interesting to see people's different strengths."
Another participant, Jenna Shipsey, said: "It's different. I've never done anything like it before and never even knew it existed. I think we worked well as a team."
But James Overy was not so impressed: "It was a good team activity, but I didn't really enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
"There were too many people doing one thing at once. It was frustrating that we didn't get out."
Escape games are thought to have begun in Japan about a decade ago, and one in Hungary, which opened in 2011, is believed to have been the first in Europe.
"Budapest is one of the world's hubs for the genre and is thought to have 80 of them," says Chris Dickson.
Other examples can now be found in the USA, Canada, France and Spain, as well as in the UK.
"If the idea sounds like fun at all, you're very likely to enjoy them in practice," said Mr Dickson.
"Games vary, not just in their themes, but also in their emphases.
"Some are puzzle-heavy, some are searching-heavy, some have greater physical demands than others.
"It's clear from the way that the most popular sites have been selling out in advance for many months that there are hundreds of thousands of people who have enjoyed the genre over time in the UK, and the level of quality of the rooms is only getting better and better."
The woman was being treated for extensive burns at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
Police were called to a collision involving the woman's red Vauxhall Corsa at about 05:50 on Tuesday.
Officers have appealed for witnesses to the accident, which happened on the A78 Fairlie to Largs road.
Sgt Ian Thornton, from the Divisional Road Policing Unit, said: "Inquiries are ongoing to establish the exact circumstances of the incident, however I would like to speak to anyone who was in the area around the time and may have seen a red Vauxhall Corsa on the road.
"Anyone with information is asked to contact officers at the Divisional Road Policing Unit based at Irvine on 101."
Connor Ward, 24, is charged with possessing a cache of weapons, manuals, racist flags and videos with the intention of committing acts of terror.
At a preliminary hearing, defence lawyer Drew Mackenzie said his client denied the charges, which are alleged to have been committed in Banff, Aberdeenshire, between 2011 and 2014.
The trial is due to begin in November.
Mr Ward was not in court for Thursday's hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.
It is alleged that he had in his possession a quantity of neo-Nazi, anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish texts, images, videos, flags and audio files.
He is also accused of possessing knives, knuckledusters, batons, a stun gun, a mobile phone signal jammer, a bug detection device, a catapult and ball, a ninja star, rocket tubes and a battle club.
Prosecutors further claim that Mr Ward had steel ball bearings and instructions on how to use them to prepare an improvised explosive device, and had downloaded material on how to reactivate deactivated bullets.
It is also alleged he had manuals showing how to manufacture explosives and chemical and biological poisons, and that he had the address of every mosque in Aberdeen.
This offence under the 2006 Terrorism Act is alleged to have been committed between 26 February 2011 and 21 November 2014 at two addresses in Banff.
He has also been charged, under the 2000 Terrorism Act, of collecting or recording information likely to be useful to anyone committing or preparing to commit an act of terrorism.
It is alleged he did this by downloading files about making firearms, manufacturing explosives and producing and using chemical and biological poisons, onto a hard drive, a flash drive, a pen drive memory stick and a laptop computer.
Thomas, 28, is a key member of the Team Sky side trying to guide Chris Froome to a second successive Tour title.
Froome has already been sent for an X-ray after a crash during the fourth stage of the Tour de France.
"On the cobbles it's sketchy anyway. If it does rain it could end somebody's race quite easily," said Thomas.
"You train all year for this and for it to end like that would be devastating for whoever it was.
"So hopefully it stays dry and everyone stays out of trouble."
Froome touched wheels in the peloton and fell just five kilometres into the 163.5km fourth stage between Le Touquet-Paris-Place and Lille Metropole.
The 29-year-old suffered a grazed left hip and wrist injury, before quickly getting back on his bike and rejoining the peloton, after receiving medical attention from the race doctor.
He is in seventh place overall, two seconds behind race leader Vincenzo Nibali after stage four was won by Marcel Kittel.
Wednesday's stage begins in the Belgian city of Ypres and ends 155.5km away in Arenberg-Porte du Hainaut.
Thomas helped Froome to the Tour title in 2013 in spite of suffering a fractured pelvis in a fall during the opening stage.
And the Welshman, who came second the last time he was involved in a race over cobbles, says it will be "stressful" supporting his team-mate.
"When you've got to look after somebody it's totally different to racing for it yourself," said Thomas.
"You can take a few risks, but you've always got to think of the guy behind you.
"But I think it's definitely a challenge - it's the same for everyone.
"So we'll just take it on and hopefully all will be well."
Kathleen Wyatt, 55, first took legal action against Dale Vince, 53, founder of wind-power firm Ecotricity, in 2011 around 25 years after they separated.
She had demanded a £1.9m payout but has been awarded a "realistic" lump sum of £300,000 by a High Court family judge.
Neither Ms Wyatt nor Mr Vince were in court for the settlement announcement.
Approving the terms of the settlement, High Court family judge Mr Justice Cobb said he was "perfectly satisfied "that it was "reasonable", and Ms Wyatt was "entitled to receive a modest capital award" following the breakdown of the marriage.
"The lump sum payment agreed between the parties fairly represents, in my view, a realistic and balanced appraisal of the unusual circumstances of this case," he said.
It is uncertain how much Ms Wyatt, who lives in Monmouth, will actually receive of her award due to outstanding legal bills.
The couple met as students in their early 20s, married in 1981 and lived a New Age traveller lifestyle.
They separated in the mid-1980s and divorced in 1992.
In the mid-1990s Mr Vince - who now lives in Stroud in Gloucestershire - set up his company Ecotricity which is now worth an estimated £107m.
In 2011, Ms Wyatt lodged a claim for "financial remedy".
It was given the green light by the Supreme Court in March 2015, but Justice Lord Wilson said she had been unwise to pitch her claim at £1.9m as an award approaching that size was "out of the question".
Mr Vince, who had appealed against it on the basis his ex-wife had lodged the claim too late, said at the time that it was "mad" in his opinion and "could signal open season for people who had brief relationships a quarter of a century ago".

It was a first defeat in 11 Wimbledon semi-final appearances for the seven-time champion.
Afterwards, the 34-year-old saluted all corners of Centre Court, prompting speculation that he might be bidding farewell for good.
"To be very clear for you, I hope to be back on Centre Court," said the 17-time Grand Slam champion.
"It was a thank you for the crowd. That's what I was going through, not thinking that this might be my last Wimbledon."

Raonic, the first Canadian man to reach a Grand Slam singles final, will face Britain's Andy Murray in Sunday's final.
Federer's semi-final defeat followed a marathon five-set win over Marin Cilic in the previous round, in which he came back from two sets down and saved three match points.
The Swiss world number three is enduring the toughest year of his career. He missed the French Open because of injury, bringing an end to a streak of 65 successive appearances at Grand Slam events stretching back to 1999.
He has also failed to add to his 88 tour titles this year, suffering his longest drought since 2000, and arrived at Wimbledon having suffered back-to-back semi-final losses in Stuttgart and Halle.
Federer, who had surgery earlier this year on the same knee he hurt on Friday, will be 35 next month.
He has not beaten world number one Novak Djokovic at a Grand Slam since the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2012, when he went on to win his last major title.
"It's a dream to win my eighth title here but it's not the only reason why I play tennis," said Federer, who will represent Switzerland at the Olympics next month, injury permitting.
"I know Wimbledon is important, but it's not everything. I have played 10 sets [against Cilic and Raonic]. It's very encouraging for the season. I was insecure coming into Wimbledon."
Mr Rubio, who faces a do-or-die contest in Florida on Tuesday, said Islam had a problem with radicalisation but said that many Muslims were proud Americans.
"Presidents can't just say whatever they want. It has consequences," he said, to cheers from the audience.
The four Republicans heeded pleas from party leaders to have a civil debate.
Unlike in the last TV event, which was littered with personal insults, this one was more substantive with a focus on policy.
"So far, I cannot believe how civil it's been up here," Mr Trump observed at one point.
But on the issue of Islam, there was clear distance between Mr Trump and the others. Mr Trump stood by comments he made earlier in the day when he said "Islam hates us, there's a tremendous hatred", and railed against political correctness.
But Mr Rubio said: "I'm not interested in being politically correct. I'm interested in being correct."
It's now clear that the remaining candidates in the Republican field have run out of ideas on how to stop Donald Trump's march to the Republican nomination.
In early debates the top-tier candidates largely ignored the New York billionaire, hoping he'd self-destruct on his own. In the past few showdowns, they've gone after him relentlessly.
Now, in this 12th event, they started by avoiding confrontation, then prodded him only ever-so-gently.
"I can't believe how civil it's been up here," Mr Trump said at one point.
Given that Mr Trump has a lead in convention delegates and is ahead in many of the states set to vote on Tuesday, a fireworks-free debate is nothing but good news for the front-runner.
While Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz tried to draw contrasts with Mr Trump on issues like foreign policy, trade protectionism and his reliance on anti-Islamic rhetoric, the enthusiasm just isn't there anymore. Mr Cruz, in particular, launched most of his barbs with sighs and head-shaking resignation, rather than ferocity.
This race isn't over yet, but Thursday night's proceedings show that - barring some sort of massive upheaval - the end is likely in sight.

Obama: 'Don't blame me for Trump'
Who are the Muslims supporting Trump?
All three of Mr Trump's rivals distanced themselves from Mr Trump's statement in December that in the fight against terrorists "you have to take out their families".
"We've never targeted innocent civilians and we're not going to start now" Mr Cruz said.
When Mr Trump was challenged on the legality of targeting civilians, he said that America had to be able to fight on "an equal footing".
"We have to obey the laws, but we have to expand those laws", he said.
On Tuesday five large states will vote for presidential candidate in each party, with Ohio Governor John Kasich and Mr Rubio, a Florida senator, under pressure to win their home states.
Mr Trump picked up a key endorsement of Ben Carson, who last week dropped out of the race before the debate.
Debate highlights:
The candidates also clashed over President Barack Obama's historic visit to Cuba next week.
Mr Rubio, whose parents were Cuban immigrants, said he was opposed to efforts to restore relations until Cuba improved its human rights record.
But Mr Trump said he was not opposed to a US-Cuba deal, but it should be on better terms for the US.
The other Cuban-American candidate on the stage, Mr Cruz, accused Mr Trump of supporting the Obama-Clinton policy on Cuba.
Mr Trump, a billionaire businessman from New York with no political experience, has dominated the news and the state primary contests so far.
On the Democratic side, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are battling for the party's nomination.
Mrs Clinton is leading Mr Sanders in delegate counts so far, though his campaign has proved more formidable than expected.
Both parties will determine their nominees at conventions in July, then Americans will pick their new president in November.

Haider Ahmed, who turned 18 last week, appeared at the Old Bailey via video link from Feltham prison.
The defendant, from Redhill, Surrey, is accused over an alleged plot to carry out an attack between 1 September 2016 and 11 July 2017.
He is charged with preparing terrorist acts and three further charges of disseminating a terrorist publication, between March and August 2016.
Mr Ahmed spoke only to confirm his identity as Mr Justice Holroyde set a timetable for the case.
A plea hearing was ordered on 8 December before trial judge Peter Lodder QC and Kingston Crown Court.
A provisional two-week trial at Kingston Crown Court was also fixed for 22 January.
Mr Ahmed, who was studying at Reigate College, was remanded in custody.
Anderson will play Danny Pink, a teacher at Coal Hill School where Oswald also teaches.
The eighth series will also introduce Peter Capaldi as the latest Doctor.
"I was so excited to join Doctor Who, I wanted to jump and click my heels but I was scared I might not come down before filming started," Anderson said.
"It's a quintessential part of British culture and I can't believe I'm part of it. It's an honour to be able to work alongside Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman and I can't wait to show people how my character becomes involved with such a fantastic duo."
In 1963, teachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright accompanied the first Doctor in the classic series, so events have now come full circle.
Filming has recently begun on the fourth and fifth episodes of the eighth series of the Doctor Who reboot, which kicked off in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor.
Anderson has also starred in Gavin & Stacey and soap opera Emmerdale - where he played police officer Jason Kirk from 2007 to 2009.
He played Crowther in Alan Bennett's hit play The History Boys at the National Theatre and reprised the role in the film version.
Home Affairs Select Committee chairman Keith Vaz said differing policies should "raise alarm bells", especially after the death of Dalian Atkinson.
The former Aston Villa star died after being shot with a Taser in Telford.
A Press Association survey of UK police forces found a disjointed approach to the use of body-worn video (BWV).
PA found many forces had not completed a full roll-out of the use of the cameras, despite some top officers calling the equipment "vital".
A total of 28 of the country's 45 territorial forces responded to the survey.
The Home Office and National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) have said the use of the equipment, which is used to record incidents, is an "operational" decision for each force.
Former footballer Mr Atkinson, 48, went into cardiac arrest on his way to hospital after being shot following an altercation last month.
A criminal investigation is under way, but it emerged the officers involved were not equipped with BWV.
Mr Atkinson's family has called for all Taser-equipped police to be issued with bodycams as standard.
Fabian Atkinson, nephew of the former Ipswich, Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday star, said: "If they have a weapon and they're going to discharge that weapon, then they need a camera to record that."
The force involved in the Atkinson case, West Mercia, told PA it did not routinely use BWVs but was looking into the "best option" for the use of recording devices by officers on patrol.
Labour MP Mr Vaz called for "clear guidance" from national bodies on BWV use as well as transparency from forces.
"In the light of recent events, the Home Office must take action to ensure there is a far more co-ordinated national approach to the use of Tasers, which should be treated with the same respect as firearms," he said.
"It isn't right that crossing an arbitrary border within the UK would present you with completely separate policies on the use of potentially deadly weapons."
The College of Policing, the professional body for policing, said it was developing guidance "to increase consistency" on BWVs.
Richard Bennett, uniformed policing lead, said although forces made decisions independently, evidence from its trials suggested the bodycams could reduce the number of allegations against officers and evidence could help operational decisions. | India is resisting the push towards driverless cars in order to protect jobs, its transport minister has said.

Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka rejected Mr Cameron's proposals for a four-year ban on in-work benefits.
But Mr Sobotka said allowing states to close borders temporarily - as a "brake" - could be considered if welfare systems were under pressure.
Mr Cameron said he still wanted a benefit ban but welcomed other options.
The prime minister, who held talks with Mr Sobotka in Prague, is hoping to get a deal on his four reform demands at a summit next month so he can call an in/out referendum on whether the UK should stay in the European Union.
But the welfare element of his proposals has been resisted by Central European member states.
The "emergency brake" idea has been floated before - but it is not clear how it would work in practice.
It could trigger temporary controls on EU migration if the flow is considered "destabilising" but it would not be under the control of the British prime minister and may need the agreement of all EU member states to invoke it.
Mr Sobotka said he agreed with most of the UK's reform agenda but made it clear in a joint news conference with Mr Cameron that he would not accept "discriminatory" measures.
But he added: "We discussed possible alternatives forwarded on this issue.
"The UK has introduced their proposal... we discussed other possible alternatives to meet the same objective, ie make it possible for the UK government to respond to the mass influx of workers.
"This option involves giving a member state the possibility of an emergency brake if there is immense pressure on its welfare system."
He added: "It is very important for us that any solution that is adopted on a European level does not discriminate."
Mr Cameron said the benefit ban was still "on the table" but he "welcomed" alternatives that would have a similar impact on migration.
He said he would not rush an agreement if it was not "available" in time for the Brussels summit on 18 February.
But he said he thought a deal was possible by then, pointing to the "goodwill" of other states.
"I firmly believe there is a pathway to an agreement. I am confident that with the help of European partners and with goodwill we will be able to get there and find mutually satisfactory conclusions."
In an opinion piece for Czech newspaper Hospodarske Noviny, Mr Cameron said he valued the contributions Czechs had made to British life, including Czech-born playwright Tom Stoppard and Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech, and he believed in the principle of free movement.
But he added: "Britain does face some particular challenges due to the scale and speed of immigration in our communities."
He said the British welfare system was an "unnatural draw for people to come to our country".
"For example, because of Britain's generous in-work benefits system, a graduate from the Czech Republic could be financially better off stacking shelves in a supermarket in Britain rather than undertaking skilled work in the Czech Republic.
"That doesn't make sense for Britain or for the Czech Republic."

The visitors edged a tight and disciplined first half. The best chance came midway through the period when Eastleigh centre-back Reda Johnson came forward for a corner and headed against the bar.
While the Ravens took 40 minutes to register their first shot, Richard Hill's men pressed hard and Sam Wood hit just over.
Bromley were brighter in the second period. Ben Wynter found Louis Dennis, whose header bounced agonisingly over.
Home substitute Iffy Allen also hit just too high, but there was to be no breakthrough.

Labrador Jess surprised her owners by carrying the fawn into their home near Wymondham, Norfolk, on 9 December.
It was taken in by Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Frettenham, near Norwich and staff there have named it Tinsel.
The charity's vet, Chris Lehrbach, said: "I think it's a very lucky deer as it certainly wouldn't have survived the night on its own."
He added: "It is just a few days or weeks old. We don't know what happened to its mother, whether she died or ran off.
"The trained Labrador didn't do it any harm at all. It brought it back safely, which it's designed to do.
"The deer is feeding well on goats' milk and bonding with the people at Hillside. It will now live, hopefully, a very long and happy life there."
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman hailed the "stunningly effective" antidote's record in other communities, saying it would "save lives".
The purchase of 20,000 kits of naloxone will be funded by seized assets.
City officials have said lethal overdoses rose 71% between 2010-12.
In a statement, New York Police Commissioner William Bratton said the New York Police Department was "proud" to join the state's Community Overdose Protection programme and said a recent pilot programme in the borough of Staten Island had saved five people.
The kits cost $60 (£36) each and include two syringes and two inhalers of naloxone. They have a shelf-life of two years.
The state was releasing about $1.2m from its civil and criminal asset forfeitures to pay for New York City's kits. They will be carried by patrol, transit and housing officers.
"By providing NYPD police officers with naloxone, we are making this stunningly effective overdose antidote available in every corner of the five boroughs," Mr Schneiderman said in a statement. "This program will literally save lives."
The attorney general said the kits had saved 563 lives last year in New York's Suffolk County.
A similar programme in Quincy, Massachusetts was the first to require officers to carry naloxone. Since autumn 2010, the department's officers have used the treatment 221 times and successfully reversed 211 overdoses.
The 15-year-old from Castlederg, County Tyrone, disappeared after a night out in the Republic of Ireland in 1994.
Police have cordoned off an area near Killen, outside Castlederg, close to where she was last seen alive.
An area of disturbed earth was found by a farmer earlier in the week behind a derelict house.
The forensic team has been brought in from England and arrived at the site at about 10:00 on Friday.
Police say it may take some time before they complete their examination.
Arlene's sister Kathleen said news of the search "just came out of the blue".
The field is on the same road where her sister was seen in a car with the convicted child killer and rapist Robert Howard, the main suspect in her disappearance.
She said her family want "closure", adding that it had been a testing week for relatives of the missing girl.
"Whether Arlene is here or not, we're never going to give up fighting for Arlene because we're not going to get justice," she said.
"But we're going to get closure.
"That's all we want, just to find Arlene and to move on with our lives. It's been really, really tough."
Police have spent the past four days at the Killen site after they were alerted by a farmer who became suspicious after finding a mound of clay and stones behind a derelict house.
Det Ch Supt Raymond Murray said: "The family of Arlene Arkinson have been advised of this development purely as a precautionary measure.
"It would be premature to draw any inference from this initial report or the police response to it at this time."
Robert Howard, who died in prison in England last year, was found not guilty in 2005 of murdering Arlene Arkinson.
But the jury did not know that he was already serving a life sentence for raping and killing another teenager.
Fourteen-year-old Hannah Williams, from south London, went missing during a shopping trip in April 2001.
Howard was found guilty in October 2003 of raping and murdering her before dumping her body.
An inquest into Arlene Arkinson's death formally opened in February after years of delay.
In an early day motion, Lib Dem MP Andrew George will urge the government to make moves towards "reuniting" them with those in the Acropolis Museum.
The marbles, once part of the 2,500-year-old Parthenon temple, but removed by Lord Elgin 200 years ago, are held in the British Museum.
Greece insists they were taken illegally and should be returned.
In his early day motion, Mr George will call for the government to "demonstrate that Britain is prepared to... reunite these British-held Parthenon sculptures with those now displayed in the purpose-built Acropolis Museum in the shadow of the monument to which they belong, the Parthenon in Athens".
Mr George chairs the Marbles Reunited organisation, a campaign group which lobbies for the sculptures to be sent back to Greece.
The group is calling on the UK government to respond to an invitation issued in 2013 by the United Nations cultural agency Unesco concerning mediation over the future of the marbles.
Thomas Bruce, the seventh Earl of Elgin, became British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire in 1799.
In 1801, he negotiated with the Ottoman Turks, who then controlled Athens, to remove statues from the Parthenon.
Elgin, an art lover, claimed the sculptures were better off in Britain than the perilous environment he found them in.
Neil Macgregor, director of the British Museum, told the Evening Standard: "Elgin rescued some of the greatest things ever made, so the world can enjoy them."
"The greatest things in the world should be... shared and enjoyed by as many people in as many countries as possible."
When questioned about it in 2013, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "No, I certainly don't believe in 'returnism', as it were. I don't think that is sensible.
"I think the right answer is for the British Museum and other cultural institutions in Britain is to do exactly what they do, which is link up with museums all over the world... to make sure that the things that we have and look after so well are properly shared with people around the world.
In December the British Museum loaned one of the Elgin Marbles for the first time to Russia for a display in St Petersburg's State Hermitage Museum.
The Greek Prime Minister at the time, Antonis Samaras, said the British Museum's decision was "an affront" to the Greek people.
Greece maintains that Lord Elgin removed the marbles illegally between 1801 and 1812, while the country was under Turkish occupation as part of the Ottoman Empire.
The items have remained in the British Museum ever since.
George Clooney's wife, lawyer Amal Clooney, has previously held talks with the Greek government as part of the ongoing campaign to have the sculptures returned from Britain.
The woman, who is only known by her first name, Elizabeth, is being asked to contact Nottinghamshire Police.
Officers investigating an historical allegation of sexual abuse want to speak to her.
The woman was in living foster care at a house in Derby Grove, Lenton, at the time. She was not a victim of any crime herself.
The woman would have been in her mid-teens at the time.
DC Rory Greer, of Radford Road CID, said: "We appreciate that much time has passed since the alleged offence took place, but it has still required enormous courage from the victim to come forward and speak to us now.
"We are determined to help the victim to take this case forward and it appears Elizabeth may have important information about what happened in this house more than four decades ago.
"She may no longer live in the Nottingham area, but hopefully the year and the location will help her or someone who knows her to contact us."
The deadline was missed after allegations of fraud during the first round in October of last year.
Interim President Jocelerme Privert said the run-off might not happen now until this October.
But supporters of the front-runner, Jovenel Moise, are demanding a run-off sooner.
Protesters took to the streets of the capital, Port-au-Prince, asking for a chance to cast their votes.
They were carrying placards supporting the banana exporter, who won the first round of the elections.
Demonstrator Sabrina Demosthil said the marchers were "calling for the run-off to be held as quickly as possible", the Associated Press news agency reports.
The April 24 deadline had been widely regarded as unrealistic.
Haiti has been in political turmoil since the first round, in which Mr Moise came first but fell short of an overall majority, was disputed by losing candidates.
Four run-off deadlines have been missed so far, some of them leading to violent unrest throughout the country.
The authorities have set up a team to evaluate the allegations of fraud in the first round.
Mr Privert, who was chosen as interim president in February to fill a power vacuum after incumbent President Michel Martelly stepped down, previously said the vote would be held at the end of May.
But on Sunday he suggested the country should choose its next president at the same time as an October 30 deadline for a Senate election.
"Does the country have the financial means to organise two elections?" he asked when questioned about the likely date for the vote.
The NHS Confederation said doctors and nurses from Europe may be put off accepting jobs after the referendum.
If that happened the NHS could face some major problems, it said.
The organisation, which represents health managers, said there were currently 130,000 EU health and care workers in the UK, including 10% of doctors and 5% of nurses.
Elisabetta Zanon, the director of the NHS Confederation's European office, said: "There is a real risk the uncertainty and the falling value of the pound will make people think again.
"If that happens, we could see shortages in some key areas get worse."
A report earlier this year from the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee warned the front line in England may be as many as 50,000 staff short - out of a workforce of slightly more than 800,000 clinical staff.
Ms Zanon also said Brexit could have an impact on medical research and the free healthcare Britons received when abroad.
But she said the workforce issue was the most pressing, as the impact could be felt straightaway.
And there were signs this had already started happening, with reports that an EU recruitment drive in West Yorkshire had already run into difficulties.
To counter the problems, the NHS Confederation has even launched a Twitter campaign called #LoveOurEUStaff.
Speaking at a conference in London, the former Health Secretary and Tory peer Lord Lansley agreed there were many areas of concern.
"The EU may not tell us how to manage our NHS, but it impacts in many ways," he said.
Lord Lansley said the medical research community was clearly "distraught" and leaving the EU would require steps such as writing the UK's own competition law for the public sector.
And he called on the sector to help put the case in the coming months for why it was important to protect the rights of people from the EU working the NHS.
"If we don't have enough people coming from the EU, our care sector cannot deliver."
Sarah Pickup, of the Local Government Association, which represents councils, which are in charge of services such as care homes and home help, said that sector would be affected too - an estimated 5% of care workers come from the EU.
She said while it was still early days, the impact on social care "needed thinking about".
Jeremy Hunt, England's health secretary, has tried to reassure EU health workers. "You do a brilliant job for your patients, you are a crucial part of our NHS and as a country we value you.
"We must all now do everything we can to ensure our whole workforce feels secure - because that is the only way we'll ensure we can deliver high-quality care for all."

Australian Peter Moody is "devastated" after Lidari tested positive for an elevated cobalt level following a race at Flemington, Melbourne, in October.
Mare Black Caviar enjoyed a record 25 consecutive wins, including the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
"I've no knowledge or understanding as to how this could occur," said Moody.

"I take great pride in my role in thoroughbred racing in Victoria and strive to manage my business and support my wonderful group of owners and staff with the highest levels of honesty and professionalism.
"I will continue to pursue this goal over the next few months and do everything possible to clear my name."
Black Caviar retired in 2013 as the top-rated racehorse in the world, having amassed 15 Group One victories.
Racing Victoria Stewards said Lidari's urine sample contained cobalt at a concentration in excess of 200 micrograms per litre.
Cobalt is said to have similar effects to the blood-boosting hormone EPO.
The Scots defeated compatriots Ronnie Duncan and Colin Walker 10-7 10-6 in the final in Hopton-on-Sea.
Burnett told BBC Sport: "We are great friends but have never won it as a pair, so it is a dream come true."
The Commonwealth Games singles champion retains the chance of a trio of titles as he is into the mixed pairs final as well as the singles' second round.
"We had to dig deep as it was a really tight match and you can never relax against guys like Ronnie and Colin," he said.
After Burnett and Anderson, both former singles world champions, edged a first set that ebbed and flowed between the two pairs, they took control early in the second and never relaxed their grip.
Anderson insisted: "A big thank you to Colin and Ronnie - the score does not reflect the game.
"Darren was superb in that game. The singles is obviously the pinnacle of the sport, but to win any world title is a great achievement."
Like Anderson, Burnett is through to the second round of the men's singles and is also in Tuesday's mixed pairs final along with England's Katherine Rednall.
They will face Scottish duo Alex Marshall and Julie Forrest.
Marshall, who won his sixth world singles title last year, and Forrest beat world number one Nicky Brett, of England, and Guernsey's Alison Merrien 9-3 7-6 in Sunday's semi-final.
Burnett, who is through to the second round of the singles, and Rednall beat former world singles champion Paul Foster and England's Rebecca Field 7-4 10-2.
The big shock of the men's singles so far was the defeat of four-time world singles champions Paul Foster after the Scot lost to English qualifier Matthew Orrey in the first round.
The 24th annual Lost Trawlermen's Day service was held in a marquee close to the River Humber.
It is always held in January or February, when most trawlers were lost.
The loss of the Ross Cleveland, St Romanus and Kingston Peridot trawlers in just one month in 1968 were among incidents remembered at the event.
Supt Tracey Stephens, of the Fishermen's Mission charity, said it was important that families had somewhere to go to remember lost loved ones.
She said: "I am one of those family members who comes just in order to remember my uncle. We have nowhere to remember him and as we look out to sea we think of him."
Karl Turner, Labour MP for Hull East, said: "It's very important for people to get together and remember the fishermen of this city.
"We lost thousands of people in the fishing industry from going out to sea in shocking conditions."
The event, at the St Andrews Quay retail park near the Sailmakers' Arms, was designed to maintain Hull's fishing port heritage and remember the men who worked in such a dangerous occupation.
Grant Murray, 20, was convicted of attempted murder following the attack on 38-year-old James Martin in Newarthill on 1 February.
His brother, Graham Murray, 30, was convicted of assault for punching Mr Martin and causing him to fall.
Grant Murray was jailed for eight years and his brother for 11 months.
Jailing them at the High Court in Glasgow, judge Johanna Johnston QC told Grant Murray: "Mr Martin was on the ground defenceless and motionless. You did not care if the blows caused fatal injuries or not.
"Even when your brother tried to pull you away you continued the attack.
"This brutal attack left Mr Martin with shocking injuries. He could have died. Your behaviour was brutal and vicious."
Judge Johnston told his brother Graham Murray: "You were convicted of assaulting Mr Martin by punching him repeatedly and rending him unconscious. He had done you no harm."
During the trial, the victim's 18-year-old son, Jordan Martin, told the court that he had gone to collect his father from a pub and buy items from a local shop.
As they walked down a lane, Grant Murray approached them and asked Mr Martin snr for a cigarette.
When he handed one over Graham Murray came over said "don't touch him" and punched Mr Martin to the ground.
His brother Grant then stamped on and kicked Mr Martin as he lay unresponsive on the ground.
The court was told that Mr Martin's jaw was split in two by the force of the blows and he suffered life-threatening injuries.
Jordan Martin said that after the attack he called 999 and flagged down a passing car which was driven by his aunt, Pamela Hughes, who gave first aid until an ambulance arrived.
As Ms Hughes tended her brother, Grant Murray shouted at her: "It was me, it was me. What are you going to do."
The brothers claimed that the assaults were sparked by Jordan Martin hitting them with a shopping bag, but he denied this.
Both were convicted following a trial last month.
The two local coaches replace Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic, who terminated his contract on Saturday over unpaid wages.
Fufa has admitted it owes the Serbian US $54,000 and says it has plans to clear the debt.
"The amount owed will be cleared," Fufa published on social media.
Sredojevic, who has been in charge of the Cranes since 2013, lead Uganda to its first Africa Cup of Nations finals since 1978.
The Fufa president Moses Magogo has blamed the Uganda government for their lack of financial support for their failure to pay Sredojevic
"Other countries like Ghana, Nigeria, Morocco - who we are rubbing shoulders with - are catered for by their governments," Magogo said.
Basena has been assistant coach to Sredojevic while Kajoba is a former national team goalkeeper and will look after Uganda's current crop of stoppers.
The duo will be in charge for Uganda's 2018 Africa Nations Championship qualifier against Rwanda and the double-header with Egypt in World Cup qualifying.
"We have not opened the application process yet. So coaches around the world should not start sending applications as some have already started doing," added Magogo.
The Fufa president also says they had offered Sredojevic an improved contract worth twice the amount he is currently on.
However Sredojevic is not interested.
"It does not make sense to accept a new contract when they cannot even honour the old one," he said.
Magogo added it was always going to prove difficult to retain Sredojevic after his success over the last four years.
Trust Special Administrators (TSA) laid out plans in December to downgrade Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust and move some services to other hospitals.
The trust has been in administration since April.
The plans have been passed to the secretary of state who has 30 working days to announce his decision.
The Support Stafford Hospital group said it awaited Jeremy Hunt's decision and hoped it would be "sooner rather than later, so as to end the long period of uncertainty caused by the TSA process".
Under the proposals, control of Stafford Hospital will go to University Hospital of North Staffordshire (UHNS) and Cannock Hospital will be run by Royal Wolverhampton Trust.
Maternity services, paediatrics and critical care at Stafford Hospital will be downgraded.
Monitor chief executive Dr David Bennett said: "Making changes to local healthcare services is never easy, or necessarily popular with the general public.
"Neither does change in a complicated system like the NHS come cheap. Nevertheless, it is absolutely essential that patients are able to access safe services today, tomorrow and well into the future."
Monitor said its statutory powers with regard to the TSA were "quite specific" - for example it could "only accept or reject their recommendations" and could not "amend them".
The TSA has previously said it would take three years, from the secretary of state's agreement, to implement proposed changes at a total cost of £220m.
Campaigners fighting to keep services at Stafford Hospital have sent an open letter to the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), which commissions healthcare services in the town.
The Support Stafford Hospital group has asked the CCG to reaffirm its commitment to retain a number of services at the hospital.
Its chief officer stated in December that the CCG would commission "services that the community deemed as essential", regardless of the TSA plans.
The letter is also signed by Stafford's Conservative MP, Jeremy Lefroy, and the leader of Stafford Borough Council, Mike Heenan.
The group said it would hold a public meeting in Stafford on 28 January which the CCG would attend.
The government is making clear there will be a full Parliamentary debate over the hospital.
Commons Leader Andrew Lansley said: "The prime minister made it clear that we do look for a debate on the Francis Report [published following the inquiry into events at Stafford Hospital] in due course."
They are worried about the future of the snow leopard's habitat if common leopards begin to live at higher elevations in a warming climate.
The issue will be high on the agenda of an international meeting involving 12 snow leopard range countries starting in Nepal on Tuesday, 17 January.
The video was recently obtained from a camera trap in Qinghai province in China. It shows both cats at the same location in July 2016.
Wildlife experts say this is the first pictorial evidence of the two cats at the same place. The snow leopard is an endangered species.
One of the video clips from the camera trap shows a female common leopard with a cub.
This has made researchers think that the animal was not simply visiting the area but was actually living there.
Snow leopards live at an altitude above 3,000m in typically open and rocky areas.
Common leopards' habitats include forests and woodlands at lower elevations.
Snow leopards are sparsely distributed across 12 countries - Mongolia and the Himalayan ranges in China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bhutan, as well as in the five Central Asian states.
There are an estimated 3,500 to 7,000 snow leopards in the wild and they have been listed as endangered mainly because of poaching and habitat loss.
Scientists say the lower reaches of snow leopard's habitats and the upper limits of common leopards' territories have always overlapped in the Himalayas and other high mountains in Asia.
But, they add, climate change could make that more complicated.
"In a changing climate, we expect the tree line to move up the slopes and that's encroaching into the snow leopard's habitat," said Byron Weckworth, China programme director with Panthera, a conservation organisation dedicated to preserving wild cats.
Some studies have shown that the upper forest tree line is already being pushed higher.
They suggest that between 30% and 50% of the current snow leopard habitat in the Himalayas will be lost because of the shifting tree line and the shrinking of the alpine zone.
"The bigger threat is the snow leopards' habitat loss and its fragmentation," said Mr Weckworth, whose organisation has partnered with the Snow Leopard Trust and Chinese conservation organisation Shan Shui to monitor wildlife in China's Sanjiangyuan nature reserve.
Prof Sandro Lovari, from the University of Siena in Italy, was not involved in this research but has conducted separate studies on snow leopards.
He agrees with the loss of habitat projections.
"Snow leopards could be squeezed between the barren land of the higher parts of the mountain and the upward moving tree line," he said.
Wen Cheng from Shan Shui says the availability of food will be key.
"The possibility for co-existence or conflict highly depends on the abundance and diversity of wild prey," he said.
Prof Lovari's team conducted a study on snow leopards in the Sagarmatha National park in Nepal's Everest region in 2013.
They found that the common leopard had a greater habitat adaptability.
"This behaviour could enhance the [common leopard's] takeover of the snow leopard's habitat as it's the larger, more ecologically flexible species," Prof Lovari explained.
In Nepal's Annapurna and Kanchanjunga conservation areas too, common leopards have been recently found in altitudes that normally have been the territories of snow leopards.
Koustubh Sharma, an expert with the Snow Leopard Trust, said: "How are these two cat species already managing to live together - or will the interface be difficult when their habitats are changing with climate change?"
"The pictures from our camera trap make these questions more relevant and pressing."
While some conservationists fear that there might be conflicts between the two leopard species for habitat and prey, others think the two already co-exist in places where their territories overlap.
Mr Weckworth said their research team in China found locals believing that the two species could even mate.
"The common leopards there are more pale in colour and that may have sparked that kind of perception among locals. But from a biological point of view, it's extremely unlikely that they can hybridise," Mr Weckworth of the Panthera organisation added.
During his field study in Nepal's Sagarmatha National Park, Prof Lovari said he found male snow leopards coming down to the edge of the forested land during the mating period.
"But there is no information whatsoever on the hybridisation between common and snow leopards," he said.
"It would be very unlikely - even more unlikely than brown bears and polar bears."
The landlady of the B&B in Argoed told Week In Week Out she believes the council has put her and the community at risk by housing them there.
Caerphilly council said it considers risk assessments before sending ex-offenders to temporary accommodation.
Miss Yemm's killer, Matthew Williams, 34, died after being Tasered by police.
The programme has also discovered that when councils in Wales and the rest of the UK have nowhere else to send the homeless in emergencies, some are referring them to hotels like Premier Inns and Travelodges.
These issues have prompted calls by campaign group Voices From Care for an urgent review of the council's handling of the case and a wider investigation by the Welsh government into the reason so many young people, including many care leavers, are sent to B&Bs.
Miss Yemm's mother, Paula Yemm, whom she lived with in Oakdale, has also spoken for the first time.
She said: "There are things I need to know; who made decisions to place him [Williams] there and what, if any, risk assessments were completed and what went wrong?"
Mandy Miles, owner of the Sirhowy Arms, said that, according to her records, the council sent a number of serious ex-offenders to her without warning her or the wider community of the potential risks.
Her B&B was used by the council to temporarily house homeless adults and a number of vulnerable teenagers for six years and she said she was happy to accept them.
Many of the adults had been to prison - others included people with mental health, drug and alcohol issues.
After the deaths of Miss Yemm and Williams last November, local residents used the Freedom of Information Act to ask the council about the type of ex-offenders placed there.
The council said it had referred 10 sexual and violent offenders who were homeless.
Ms Miles insisted she did not know this beforehand.
She said she had since cross-matched her records with news reports on a number of offenders and discovered they included a rapist, a voyeur and several paedophiles.
"I had to Google to find out what they'd done. That annoyed me," she said.
Ms Miles added, according to her records, the council also placed a vulnerable 17-year-old care leaver at her hotel at the same time as a convicted paedophile.
The programme found, in the past five years, Welsh councils sent 755 homeless people to stay in B&Bs because there was nowhere else for them to go.
In England, councils have been told to stop sending 16 and 17 year olds to B&Bs as they are deemed inappropriate.
In Wales, councils can leave them there for up to six weeks at a time while alternatives are sought.
The council refused to say what detail it would provide to Premier Inn and Travelodge if sending homeless people to their hotels as a temporary measure.
Premier Inn said it expected local authorities to assess anyone before sending them and Travelodge said customers had to abide by hotel rules.
Debbie Jones, from Voices from Care, said: "As a corporate parent you have a responsibility as a parent to a child that is in your care.
"They need to be immediately and urgently reviewed in terms of their practices, so again we need to call for a national review to look into, in particular, Caerphilly - but I suspect this is a wider problem than just one local authority."
The council said it considers risk assessments from police and the probation service before sending ex-offenders to temporary accommodation.
It said that while it told Ms Miles if clients were ex-offenders, it did not give her details about the reason they had been to jail.
Conservative AM for south east Wales William Graham believes the council should have shared more information with Ms Miles and is backing calls for an investigation into its handling of the case.
"This case highlights failures and, in that case, perhaps a serious case review is what is needed to identify what the failures are and look at the individuals involved - did they pursue their duty according to their specification and if they haven't done so then disciplinary action clearly must follow," he said.
Inquests are due to be held in the autumn into Williams's and Miss Yemm's deaths.
Her mother hopes it will bring the answers she is looking for about how and why she died at the B&B.
Ms Yemm is also calling for the Sirhowy Arms to be demolished.
She said: "So long as it's there, it's a reminder of what was taken away and if I have to fight to my dying day, I will fight for that to be knocked down - that can't be there."
Week in Week Out, Tuesday 22:35 BST, BBC1 Wales.
The Hearing Clinic, based in Derby, has been fined £220,000 following hundreds of complaints about speculative calls regarding hearing loss claims.
It was the first fine issued by the Claims Management Regulator.
The BBC has been unable to contact anyone from the Hearing Clinic for comment.
Many of those called by the business had subscribed to the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), indicating that they did not want to receive unsolicited calls.
The government changed the law in December to allow the industry's watchdog to issue fines.
Claims Management Regulator Kevin Rousell said: "Companies should be in no doubt that if they break the rules, then we won't hesitate to fine them, in addition to the tough action we already take."
Richard Lloyd, executive director of consumer group Which?, said: "Hopefully this is the start of a concerted crackdown by regulators, using their new powers to send a clear message that nuisance calling won't be tolerated. This company made millions of unwanted calls so we welcome the Claims Management Regulator baring its teeth.
"The size of this fine should make other firms think twice before bombarding people with cold calls. We also need to see senior executives held personally accountable if their company makes unlawful sales calls."
More than 175,000 complaints were made to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) last year about nuisance calls and text messages.
However, the number of companies in the claims management industry has fallen from 3,367 at its peak in 2011 to 1,752.

Teenagers rarely meet online but do use technology for flirting, asking out, meeting up and parting, American think tank, the Pew Research Center, found.
A survey of 1,060 US teenagers aged 13 to 17 revealed that technology brings them closer but also breeds jealousy.
"Digital platforms are powerful tools for teens," said Amanda Lenhart, lead author of the report from Pew.
"But even as teens enjoy greater closeness with partners and a chance to display their relationships for others to see, mobile and social media can also be tools for jealousy, meddling and even troubling behaviour."
Of the 1,060 teenagers surveyed:
What gets discussed during all those frequent social media enabled check-ins?
According to the survey, it is mostly "funny stuff" followed by "things you're thinking about" as well as other information such as where they are and what their friends have been doing.
And forget having to meet up to resolve a conflict - 48% of dating teenagers said that could be done by texting or talking online.
Online tools, with their accessibility and ease of use, also showed some signs of giving this group relationship anxiety.
Females are more likely to be subject to unwanted flirting and 25% of teenagers surveyed said they have blocked or unfriended someone because of uncomfortable flirting.
And 15% of teenage daters said a partner had used the internet to pressure them into unwanted sexual activity.
Nearly half the respondents admitted to concentrating on their phone ahead of their partner when together with 43% of dating teens saying that had happened to them.
"I don't think this survey reveals much that is surprising. But it is affirming. Humans are social animals and we build tools to connect with each other," wrote Julie Beck, an associate editor at The Atlantic news site, of the survey's findings.
"It's not all heart emojis all the time, no, but the tools that facilitate relationships facilitate all aspects of them, good and bad.
"Connecting with others is scary, hard, sometimes dangerous, but usually, hopefully, good. The teens get it."

The 36-year-old led her team to a first Olympic gold medal as they beat defending champions the Netherlands in a penalty shootout.
"If you could write a movie script with a fairytale ending then this would be it," said the four-time Olympian.
The ceremony was held in wind and rain at the Maracana Stadium on Sunday.
Andy Murray, who won gold in the men's tennis, carried the British flag at the opening ceremony.
Britain finished second in the medal table ahead of China, with their best medal return at any Games since 1908.
It is also the first time since the modern Olympic era began in 1896 that a country has increased its medal tally at the summer Games immediately following one it hosted.

But these days, Cervantes' deluded hero would be more likely to go tilting at turbines rather than mills.
This is because sunny Spain has established itself as a European superpower in wind energy as well as in solar.
But just as it establishes its position as a global leader in the sector, the government is threatening to pull the rug from under the industry's feet.
For the first time in Spain's history, wind contributed the same proportion (21%) of electricity as nuclear last year, according to Red Electrica de Espana (REE), Spain's national grid. Both now contribute more than any other power source.
This record feat appeared to confound the energy sceptics, who have argued that low-carbon renewable energy production is too intermittent and expensive to be a reliable alternative to coal, gas and nuclear.

How American energy independence could change the world
In Spain's renewable energy success story, encompassing wind, solar (photovoltaic and thermal) and hydro, installed power capacity has risen to 49.1%, says REE.
Wind alone generated nearly 54,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity last year, providing power to about 10 million households, and is second only to Germany in terms of installed capacity.
So how has Spain achieved this?
"Spain benefited from wind-energy-friendly regulation in the 1990s," says Sonia Franco, at Asociacion Empresarial Eolica (AEE), the Spanish wind energy association.
"This gave visionary companies the confidence to invest. About 30bn euros (£25bn; $41bn) has been invested in the sector since the first turbine was erected in 1984," she says.
And in marked contrast to some of the nimby attitudes displayed by many Britons towards onshore wind turbines, Spanish villagers welcomed the new technology with open arms, Ms Franco says.
This enthusiasm was perhaps related to the fact that government subsidies for renewables were not passed on to consumers in the form of higher electricity prices.
This policy contributed to what Spain calls its "tariff deficit" across the entire power generation sector, thought to amount to 25bn to 30bn euros.
Something needed to give, and a cash-strapped Spanish government, reeling from banking and property crises that necessitated a 41bn euro bailout package from the European Union (EU) in 2012, abruptly pulled the plug on government support for its energy sector in the same year.
Not only this, but it imposed a 7% tax on all electricity generation revenues, whether renewable or not.
These measures were followed up by further retroactive cuts that could result in "subsidy reduction of about 1.2bn euros for the wind industry in 2014", says Ms Franco. "We don't really know yet what the full financial impact will be."
As, Eduard Sala de Vedruna, director of global wind power at research company IHS, says: "Spain is the victim of its own success."
This has had a chilling effect on European investment in the sector.
"Installation levels in Spain have been declining sharply [since the government withdrew its support]," says Pierre Tardieu, of the Brussels-based European Wind Energy Association (EWEA).
"There used to be 41,000 wind energy jobs in Spain; now there are only 23,000. The politics of this have been really toxic."
The figures speak for themselves. In 2012, Spain installed 1,110 megawatts (MW) of new wind capacity. By the end of last year, this figure had dropped to just 175MW.

But Spain is not alone. Most EU countries have scaled back on their level of new wind capacity installation.
By contrast, Germany has powered ahead, increasing new capacity by 2,297MW in 2012 and by 3,238MW last year.
The UK also strongly increased new capacity. This is especially ironic given the impression that wind is a controversial and difficult issue in the country, with major power companies recently pulling out of large-scale offshore wind projects and the Conservative Party reportedly considering curbing the expansion of onshore wind turbines.
"The 2013 market was driven by Germany and the UK. About 50% of new installation has come from these two countries," says Mr Tardieu.
But globally, the investment outlook for wind still looks reasonably bright, according to the Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2014 report, produced by the United Nations Environment Programme (Unep) and Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
It estimates that the sector attracted about $80bn (£48bn; 58bn euros) of investment worldwide in 2013, just 1% down on the previous year.
Unep concludes that a sharp fall in the cost of wind turbines and a general improvement in the cost-competitiveness of the sector has enabled a growing number of wind projects globally to be built without any government support at all.
"Lower costs have enabled subsidies for new projects to be reduced, and brought wind and solar much closer to full competitiveness with fossil-fuel alternatives," it states.
The report says that, in the absence of cheap indigenous coal or gas, and given plentiful sunshine and wind, solar and wind power can be cheaper than fossil fuel generation.
Meanwhile, the European Commission, the EU's executive body, believes that while state subsidies for renewables have helped progress towards achieving carbon reduction goals, they have also caused "serious market distortions and increasing costs to consumers".
Falling wind infrastructure costs, coupled with the country's serious debt problems, have convinced the cash-strapped Spanish government that subsidies for the sector are no longer needed.
Mariano Rajoy's government seems to believe the industry is now so strong it can withstand a clawback of some of the funds given to it in previous decades.
No wonder Spain's wind sector feels like it is being punished for its success.
The country's dramatic shift towards renewables, along with a reduction in power output from traditional greenhouse gas-emitting sources, helped Spain reduce its CO2 emissions to 61.4 million tonnes last year, 23.1% lower than in 2012 - a significant achievement.
January was another record month for wind power in Spain, and the industry made the most of its installed capacity, with wind energy production reaching 6,626GWh for the first time ever, 3.1% higher than the previous record set last November.
But there will always be a trade-off between governments' desire for economic competitiveness and environmental goals, argues Mr Sala de Vedruna.
"The fact remains that, in most countries, renewables still receive more subsidies than other cheaper energy sources, such as coal," he says. "Short-term goals often conflict with longer-term goals."
So while such political and regulatory uncertainty swirls around the sector, Spanish wind turbines could find their rapid expansion across the country's high plains brought to an abrupt halt.
Instead 75% of pupils will be expected to study this combination of core academic subjects by 2022, Education Secretary Justine Greening announced.
The Department for Education has set a new target for 90% of pupils to take the subjects by 2025.
School leaders said the EBacc was increasingly looking like the performance measure that time forgot.
They said it had been overtaken over by the introduction of Progress 8, which measures pupils' progress and achievement over eight GCSE subjects.
The EBacc requires students to study English, maths, a language, science and history or geography at GCSE.
The revised proposals for the EBacc - which were in the Tory election manifesto - were confirmed on Wednesday in a long-awaited government response to a consultation that closed about 18 months ago.
In a written statement to the Commons, Justine Greening said: "There is no doubt that studying the EBacc subjects up to the age of 16 is right for the vast majority of pupils.
"As a government we are committed to unlocking the potential of all pupils regardless of their background, and this is why, as set out in our manifesto, we would like to see 90% of year 10 pupils starting to study GCSEs in the EBacc combination of subjects by 2025."
Ms Greening said she recognised the challenges schools faced in increasing take-up of EBacc subjects.
"Taking this all into account, it is our ambition that 75% of year 10 pupils in state-funded mainstream schools will start to study GCSEs in the EBacc combination of subjects by September 2022.
"This will mark an important milestone in driving towards the government's ambition that the vast majority of pupils - irrespective of background - have access to this core academic suite of GCSEs, which is central to a broad and balanced curriculum."
But Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said it was hard to see what purpose the EBacc served any more.
"It helps neither students, parents, teachers, nor school leaders. In our view, and in line with the chief inspector of schools, schools should provide a curriculum with an academically rigorous core for all, plus broader opportunities in the arts and sport.
"What schools and colleges offer should be driven by the needs of their students and communities, not by centrally set targets.
"Progress 8 has superseded the need for the EBacc. We would have preferred the government to let it quietly curl up and wither away."
John Kampfner, chief executive of the Creative Industries Federation, said the government was continuing to pursue an "ill thought through and short-termist" policy.
"The creative industries have been identified as one of five priority sectors in the government's industrial strategy in recognition of their economic contribution," he said.
"However, the Department for Education has not answered the sector's concerns, by continuing to sideline creative education in favour of academic subjects."
Deborah Annetts, founder and leader of the Bacc for the Future campaign, said the decision was short-sighted and misconceived.
"We would ask Justine Greening to meet with Bacc for the Future representatives as soon as possible so she can understand first-hand the damage this misguided policy is having.
"As the chief inspector of Ofsted, Amanda Spielman said last week, 'All children should study a broad and rich curriculum.'
"We need to create an education which is fit for the 21st Century and fit for our country post-Brexit. This is not the way to do it."
The report - commissioned by the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) - looked into 14 deaths of firefighters in the last 10 years and warned "good practice" had sometimes been ignored.
"Unnecessary deaths happened in avoidable circumstances," it added.
FBU general secretary Matt Wrack called for urgent talks and said the report should "focus minds" on fire safety.
In England, between 1993/94 and 2003/04, there were six deaths of firefighters at fires.
During the next 10 years - between 2004/05 and 2013/14 - 13 firefighters died across the UK along with one fire technician.
The report assessed all the deaths during that time, including fatal fires in Bethnal Green, London, in 2004; at Harrow Court, in Hertfordshire, in 2005; and at Marlie Farm, in East Sussex, in 2006.
The report, carried out by Professor Andrew Watterson of the University of Stirling, said unnecessary risks were sometimes taken to save property.
"Risk assessment and risk management failed in some way and in some form in all the fatalities" he added.
He said "lessons were not learnt that should have been".
Reducing fire budgets and the number of firefighters "could lead to more deaths of both members of the public and firefighters", he added.
The report called for the role of central and senior local government and brigade managers in firefighter fatalities to be addressed.
It also provided a series of recommendations to address firefighter safety and recommended action to improve risk assessment and training.
Mr Wrack called for urgent talks with stakeholders, including the government and local councils.
He said the FBU recognised its members worked in a dangerous environment, but said: "Firefighters should expect to be able to go home to their families after their day's work. They do not go to work to die."
He added: "We assess the risks and take carefully planned action to rescue people, to deal with incidents and to make communities safe.
"Our members have the right to demand the best possible procedures, training, equipment and resources to enable us to do our job safely, effectively and professionally.
"That is not too much to ask."
The Federation of Small Businesses has called for a delay in the start of talks due to the political fallout.
Aston Martin has warned that future investment could be at risk without clear indications for future EU relations.
And other groups have insisted new ministers refocus their positions ahead of the start of official Brexit talks.
Few individual chief executives or companies have commented on the shock election result, with many privately waiting to see how a potential Conservative-DUP coalition is formed.
But the boss of luxury car maker Aston Martin, which has invested heavily in a new plant in Wales, spoke out.
Chief executive Andy Palmer said: "We cannot stress strongly enough the need for rapid and decisive policy direction.
"Clarity over our relationship with Europe must be established quickly together with the wider reassurance to our key trading partners that Britain remains a dynamic and thriving business environment."
Lobbying groups representing small and large organisations across the country were quick to call for a renewed focus and more specifics on Brexit.
Stephen Martin, director general of the Institute of Directors, said: "Businesses have shown in the last year that they are resilient to surprise results, but they have now been thrown into political limbo.
"Now is the time to move on from the rhetoric of the election campaign and focus on preparing for Brexit talks. The issues of access to EU markets and the need for skilled workers are still paramount."
His views were echoed by the FSB, which went further in calling for a delay to negotiations.
FSB national chairman Mike Cherry said: "It is important to go into the Brexit talks from a position of strength, focused on getting the best deal possible for trade and access to workers and skills.
"We call for a delay to the scheduled start of negotiations rather than a rush to begin in 10 days' time.
"The need for a transition period now becomes even stronger, providing the time to get Brexit right."
Terry Scuoler, chief executive of EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, said: "The Brexit negotiating strategy requires a careful rethink.
"Industry should be at the table, alongside whatever administration is formed, to help ensure we have the right negotiating position, which is something that's been sadly lacking until now."
Elsewhere, Carolyn Fairbairn, director general of the CBI, and her counterpart at the British Chambers of Commerce, Adam Marshall, both demanded clear objectives over Brexit.
Ms Fairbairn said: "With only 10 days before Brexit talks begin, the UK needs to be fast out of the blocks.
"Agreeing transition arrangements and guaranteeing EU citizens' rights should be early priorities to get the talks off to a good start and show to the world that trade and people come first."
Mr Marshall added: "No business would walk into a negotiation without clear objectives, an agreed starting position, and a strong negotiating team. It is hard to see how Brexit negotiations could begin without answers on these important questions."
Official Brexit negotiations are due to start on 19 June in Brussels.
Atherton completed a British one-two with Tahnee Seagrave in Leogang, Austria, to pass the record held by France's Anne-Caroline Chausson.
The 28-year-old's winning run goes back to June 2015, starting at Fort William.
"I had a really wild run," said the four-time World Cup champion. "I felt the pressure today, I felt the nerves a bit. I'm pretty relieved."
Atherton has added four wins in the opening four World Cup races this year to six at the end of last season.
She finished 5.3 seconds clear of nearest rival Seagrave, 20, on Sunday for a 30th World Cup career win.
Tamas Priskin forced in a close-range header from a corner 15 minutes from time to edge Hungary in front.
But sub Niall McGinn levelled and Kyle Lafferty claimed the winner in the 88th minute, although the last touch may have been off a defender.
It was their first away win in 18 matches.
Northern Ireland's last victory on the road was a 1-0 win over Slovenia in their opening Euro 2012 qualifier.
Boss Michael O'Neill will be relieved as it appeared an encouraging display in Budapest was to go unrewarded.
Before the match, Northern Ireland probably would have settled for a draw but, having seen Hungary's limitations during the match, O'Neill must have known the chance for victory was there for the taking.
This was the start of O'Neill's second qualifying campaign as NI manager and, having started the first by taking only one from a possible nine, he will be jubilant with this result.
Corry Evans should have given them the lead just before half-time but he skied over after Jamie Ward's effort had been parried by former Liverpool reserve team goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi.
As the second half wore on Hungary, regularly booed by home supporters, came into the game more and they looked set to take the points when former Watford striker Priskin headed home a 74th-minute corner from just a couple of yards out.
It seemed to be the same old story for Northern Ireland but two goals in the last 10 minutes turned the game on its head.
Front man Lafferty was instrumental in the equaliser, coming deep for the ball before charging forward.
He broke into the penalty area and passed across goal for McGinn to tap home unchallenged.
Even better was to come for the 1100 visiting supporters as Lafferty battled with a home defender to bundle in at the back post from McGinn's ball in.
The 88th-minute finish was hardly elegant but for Northern Ireland it could not have been sweeter.

The Staffordshire-based adventure park said Galactica would open in April, following two years of planning.
It is resort's first big new ride since one of its rollercoasters crashed in June, seriously injuring five people.
Visitor numbers have been down since the accident, which Alton Towers blamed on "human error".
It said 190 jobs remained at risk and the park would close on several mid-week "quieter days" this year.
Several virtual-reality recordings simulate rollercoaster rides, but Alton Towers said Galactica would combine the two experiences for the first time.
Over the course of the three-minute ride, the headsets will show passengers a journey across a series of different galaxies, timed to coincide with the ride's twists, turns and falls.
Lying facedown, they will experience a maximum g-force of 3.5gs, which the park says is more than astronauts typically experience during rocket launches.
Gill Riley, the park's marketing director, said it represented a "multi-million pound investment".
"Obviously the safety and welfare of our guests is our number one priority," she added.
"Following the incident last year, we immediately put into effect additional safety protocols on our multi-car rollercoasters, of which this is one.
"In addition, once this ride is installed, as with every other new ride and experience, it will be subject to comprehensive pre-opening assessment [by us] and by an accredited independent inspection body."
Rather than build the ride from scratch, the park has re-engineered an existing rollercoaster the Air, which originally opened in 2002.
It experienced technical problems of its own last July when dozens of passengers were trapped face-down for up to 20 minutes.
Two women had legs amputated after the carriage of the Smiler rollercoaster they were riding in collided with an empty carriage on 2 June.
Fourteen other people on the ride were also injured.
Alton Towers' owner, Merlin Entertainments, later said the accident had been caused by operator error rather than a mechanical fault.
"A ride shutdown message was misunderstood by staff at the ride," it said in November, adding workers had overridden the control system to manually restart Smiler.
Ms Riley said the park had learned from the mistake.
"We have enhanced our training and also included an extra level of authorisation when we have to stop and reset and restart a ride, which involves senior management," she said.
She confirmed that Smiler was still set to reopen in 2016, but was unable to provide a date.
Merlin Entertainments' share price sank by more than 20% following June's accident, but is currently trading at about 4% below its pre-accident level.
"Certainly, the accident at Alton Towers has been difficult for Merlin and been a drag on its performance, which is not surprising," said Keith Bowman, an equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown.
"But other parts of the business - Legoland in particular - have been making progress and generally compensating for this."
The 21-year-old English striker was linked with a number of higher-league clubs after finding the net 18 times in 28 appearances this term.
But it was the Bairns who secured his signature for an undisclosed fee and immediately loaned him back to the Methil club.
With the Fifers sitting two points behind leaders Elgin City having played a game more, the loss of the league's joint top scorer with the Black and Whites' Craig Gunn would have been a significant blow to Gary Naysmith's side.
With a regular goalscorer seemingly making the difference between success and failure in Scotland's fourth tier, fourth-placed Annan Athletic might have pulled a rabbit out of the hat on transfer deadline day with the capture of Lewis Guy after the 30-year-old's release from National League North club Chorley.
Guy, who began his career with Newcastle United, will be remembered for a spell in Scotland's top flight with St Mirren.
Barry Ferguson will be hoping that he has found the solution to fifth-top Clyde's lack of goals - and faltering promotion challenge - in the shape of much-travelled 31-year-old John Gemmell, who arrives from Albion Rovers.

Sevier County Mayor Larry Waters also announced during a Friday news conference that one victim appeared to have suffered a heart attack while fleeing the flames due to smoke inhalation.
"I can't describe to you the feelings we have over this tragedy," the mayor told reporters and politicians who had gathered for the press conference.
Authorities have also increased to 1,000 their estimate of how many structures have been damaged in the region.
Officials say at least 85 people have been treated in hospital, mostly for burns.
Bowing to pressure from home and business owners on Friday, city officials began to allow some people to return to the city.
Gatlinburg City Manager Cindy Cameron Ogle says residents have to pass through checkpoints and show proof of ownership or residency.
She adds that the city has not been deemed safe, as power lines are still down and other dangers still lurk among the rubble.
Family members have also confirmed the death of Alice Hagler, who had been missing from Chalet Village, a neighbourhood of rental cabins.
John Tegler, 71, and Janet Tegler, 70, also died in Chalet Village, a medical examiner told the Tennessean newspaper.
The National Park Service has said the blaze was "human-caused" and probably began in the Great Smoky Mountains, American's most visited national park.
Most of the fires are now extinguished, due to heavy rains, but officials warn that sporadic flames can still be seen, and that the rain does not make up for the drought conditions that plagued the region all summer.
More than 14,000 people were forced to evacuate the resort city of Gatlinburg earlier in the week.
Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, home of country music star Dolly Parton's Dollywood resort, receive about 11 million visitors annually.

The Tay Cities Deal submission document includes more than 50 projects, including a scheme to boost employment through oil and gas decomissioning.
The bid seeks £826m over 10 years from the Scottish and UK governments and their agencies.
The remainder would come from councils, colleges and universities, and the public, private and voluntary sectors.
The Tay Cities Deal submission will be discussed at Angus, Dundee, Fife and Perth and Kinross councils over the coming weeks.
The final document will be submitted to both governments by the end of February.
The leaders of the region's four councils met at the James Hutton Institute in Invergowrie for the submission's formal launch.
An advanced plant growth centre and an international barley hub, both of which would involve "significant input" from the institute, are among the deal projects.
Iain Gaul, leader of Angus Council, said: "The Tay Cities region will be successful for everyone who lives here.
"By working together, public and private sector partners can deliver this ambitious, creative and forward thinking programme."
Dundee City Council leader, Ken Guild, said: "Anchored in new and exciting ways of delivering services, we are going to create a region that is inclusive, innovative, international and connected - creating growth that combines increased prosperity with greater equity, the kind that creates opportunities for all."
David Ross, Fife Council leader, said: "The opportunity to negotiate a tailored deal represents a once in a generation opportunity to deliver on the Tay Cities Regional Economic Strategy and, in turn, to improve economic outcomes for everyone across the whole region."
Ian Miller, Perth and Kinross Council leader, said: "Our submission also has an unprecedented focus on cultural regeneration, supporting Perth's bid to be UK City of Culture 2021 and Dundee's bid for European Capital of Culture 2023."
The Scottish government's economy secretary Keith Brown said: "It's fantastic to see the local authorities working collaboratively to bring together this proposal.
"This partnership approach has been clearly demonstrated through the region's asks and proposed innovative projects.
"We will continue to work closely with the councils to understand and help develop their ambitious proposals."
UK minister for Scotland Andrew Dunlop said: "The UK government is committed to delivering a UK Cities Deal for each of Scotland's seven cities.
"We look forward to working with the Tay Cities partners." | A £1.84bn proposal to create up to 15,000 jobs in Tayside and North East Fife has been announced. | 38,854,081 | 525 | 29 | false |
One woman who wears an elaborate sequin dress taps out a beat on a drinks flask, as a man beside her grooves away to the rhythm in his head.
The other man turns to his companions and beams: "It's carnival time." His words imbued with a heavy Caribbean accent.
The quarter nod in expectant unison. Their is excitement is shared across the capital as the Notting Hill Carnival marks its 50th anniversary.
Anybody who departs Notting Hill Gate station is immediately hit by the distinctive sounds, smells and sights of carnival.
Whistles shriek, horns bellow and in the distance is the rumble of bass lines being emitted by hundreds of speakers.
The crowds pass beneath the empty grand houses of west London, their gates and windows sealed off by wooden boards, many of which have been utilised by graffiti artists - or those just wanting to leave their mark.
Further up the road a painter has set up an easel on the pavement to capture the event on canvas.
One teenager turns to his friends: "Well boys, we've finally made it", he says as they approach the parade route.
Thousands of people line the street waiting for the colours and dancing of the Mas bands.
In the distance a Brazilian drumming group pounds out samba rhythms in perfect unison.
They stop every so often, waving their drums and sticks in the air to the cheers of the crowd.
Raymond and Bee, who are on holiday from Australia, watch the parade as it passes.
Despite having previously lived in London, this is their first time at the carnival. "It's brilliant", they say as they sway with the music.
Another samba band follows, this one a kaleidoscope of sequins and feathers.
Dancers stacked high on decorated floats gyrate and sing as the crowds respond in turn.
A policeman waiting along the route bobs in time to the beat as another is grabbed for a selfie by a group of young girls.
As the day progresses, the streets within the parade route become busier and the smoke from the many roadside barbecues thickens, occasionally engulfing parts of the crowd.
A couple named Anne and JD wait by a wall for their friends to join them.
"I've been coming since I was 11, I used to be on the floats," Anne says.
They are here to celebrate their 30th anniversary: "We first met at the carnival."
Anne says the event has "changed a lot" over the years.
"JD doesn't really like it so much these days but it's been great so far today," she says.
On the streets the blaring rhythms of the sound systems create a sonic crossfire, competing for the attention of those who pass by.

Work to raise Drayton Road, the main road into Muchelney, was due to have been finished at the end of last month.
Bad weather now means it will not be completed until mid February, a Somerset County Council spokesman said.
Last winter large parts of the Levels were deluged with flooding, leaving villagers cut off for two months and a trunk road closed for several weeks.
A 547 yard-stretch (500m) of Drayton Road is being raised by more than 3.9 ft (120 cm) at its lowest point.
A council spokesman said: "We have been saying since the beginning of November that the Muchelney road raising was likely to run into the New Year.
"As things stand, we are hoping to be able to complete the works in February. However, as they have been from the beginning, all scheduled completion times will be subject to factors such as the weather."
Conservative Andrew Boff told the BBC it would not be cost-effective to keep paying for patches to make sure the operating system was secure.
Last year, a Freedom of Information request by the tech site Motherboard found 35,000 Met PCs ran XP.
Mr Boff said this had fallen to 27,000, which remained "worrying".
"I have fond memories of XP, I've only just got rid of it myself a few months ago," said Mr Boff.
Microsoft ceased providing free security and technical support to XP users in April 2014.
Currently, the Met is carrying out a plan to upgrade thousands of its computers to Windows 8.1.
Mr Boff said the force should instead upgrade to the latest Windows operating system, Windows 10.
"I'll be asking a question and, depending on the written reply I get, I'll then be questioning the mayor on whether or not they should start a review," he said.
"We spend an awful lot of money on information technology - we've got to get the best bang for our buck."
The Met Police confirmed that, by the end of September, a further 6,000 desktops will be upgraded to Windows 8.1, reducing the overall number of PCs still running XP to 21,000.
It added that those computers still running the older operating system will be covered by an extended support arrangement with Microsoft until April 2017 - at a cost of £1.65m.
The Met said a large amount of "legacy software" meant that the upgrade plan was not as easy as it might be at many other organisations.
"Further plans are being developed to address the remaining XP desktops," it added, "including reducing the overall number used by the organisation, replacing with laptops, tablets and disposing of equipment that cannot support Windows 8.1 and beyond."
The court said it would not overturn a rejection of clemency for Serge Atlaoui from Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
An execution date has not been set, but officials say it will not take place during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends in mid-July.
Atlaoui was granted a last-minute reprieve in April and left out of a group of foreigners who were executed.
The attorney general has said the appeal against the rejection of his clemency bid was the final legal recourse for Atlaoui. His lawyers have nonetheless vowed to continue to seek legal avenues.
Indonesia's tough stance on drug trafficking has drawn international criticism.
It was always very unlikely that the administrative court would be able to spare Serge Atlaoui from his fate.
Other foreign drug convicts, including the late high-profile Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, had tried challenging the presidential rejection of their clemency, and failed.
The only thing that can keep Atlaoui now from the firing squad is a political decision.
Indonesia's second round of executions this year created a lot of negative publicity internationally. While the government has not shown any signs of relenting in its stance on the death penalty, the urgency in executing drug convicts seems to have quietly slipped away.
Atlaoui, who is a married father-of-four, was arrested by Jakarta police at a house in Banten province dubbed the "ecstasy pills factory" by local media.
A court found him guilty in 2007 of trafficking 551lb (250kg) of hallucinogens and 306lb of methamphetamines.
He was given the reprieve in May because his appeal of the clemency rejection was still outstanding in the courts.
France takes a very strong stance against the death penalty and President Francois Hollande has warned of diplomatic consequences if Atlaoui is executed.
Rebecca Gibney has cerebral palsy and epilepsy and is blind. She lives in the Short Strand area in the east of the city.
Last year Rebecca was given just six months to live but has defied the odds.
Her mum Tracy says Rebecca has been listening to Adele for years will smile and try to sing along.
If anyone turns it off, Rebecca goes into a mood, she said.
Tracy set up a social media campaign to try to get the star to visit.
The singer's manager called her on Tuesday afternoon to say they would be at the house in a hour.
"It's amazing. I'll never forget it. And I do know that when Rebecca passes away she did get her dream come true," Tracy said.
"It's made me feel like I'm the best mummy in the world which I never felt. Adele told me I was the best mummy in the world too."
Adele also invited Tracy and her other daughter to Tuesday's concert as her guests.
At least 250,000 people have filled the streets of the capital San Salvador for the ceremony.
It is the last step before Archbishop Romero is declared a saint.
He was shot dead by a sniper as he celebrated Mass in a hospital chapel on 24 March 1980.
No-one has been prosecuted for the murder.
The beatification ceremony was presided over by Vatican envoy Cardinal Angelo Amato, who made a call for forgiveness.
"His preference for the poor was not ideological, but evangelical. His charity extended to his persecutors," he said.
"Archbishop Romero's spirit remains alive and gives comfort to the marginalised people of the world," added Cardinal Amato.
About 80,000 people died and 12,000 disappeared during the war in the Central American nation.
In a letter to the Archbishop of San Salvador, Luis Escobar Alas, Pope Francis said the beatification of Archbishop Romero created "a favourable moment for true and proper reconciliation.
"In this day of joy for El Salvador and also for other Latin American countries, we thank God for giving the martyr archbishop the ability to see and feel the suffering of his people," said the Pope in his letter.
People started arriving overnight, keen to get a spot to watch what many people think is a long overdue recognition of a regional hero.
The people of El Salvador, carrying banners and chanting songs, were joined by people across the continent and further afield.
His supporters are not just those who lived through the civil war but younger generations too, who have listened to their homilies and say that his message was one of truth-telling and denouncing evil.
Oscar Romero is still a controversial figure in this divided country, though. There are those who feel he was more guerrilla than man of God. But they are not out in the crowds today.
Oscar Romero: Latin America’s martyr and hero
The event began with a procession from the cathedral - where Archbishop Romero's remains lie in a crypt - to Saviour of the World square in the centre of San Salvador, several kilometres away.
Giant TV screens were placed across the capital so that those away from the stage can watch the ceremony.
Archbishop Oscar Romero was not just a churchman. He took a stand during El Salvador's darkest moments, the BBC's Central America reporter Katy Watson says.
When the US-backed Salvadorean army was using death squads and torture to stop leftist revolutionaries from seizing power, he was not afraid to speak out in his weekly sermons, she says.
"The law of God which says thou shalt not kill must come before any human order to kill. It is high time you recovered your conscience," he said in his last homily in 1980, calling on the National Guard and police to stop the violence.
"I implore you, I beg you, I order you in the name of God: Stop the repression."
That was a sermon that cost him his life. A day later, while giving mass, he was hit through the heart by a single bullet.
Several conservative Latin American cardinals in the Vatican had blocked his beatification for years because they were concerned his death was prompted more by his politics than by his preaching.
Pope Benedict XVI finally reversed this in 2012.
Roseanne Rowan Armstrong, 43, told firefighters she was making a wreath when the accident happened at her home in Old Craighall on Sunday.
She later died in hospital.
The fire service said she probably saved her parents' lives by going back into the house twice to rescue both of them from the blaze.
Ms Armstrong, who was a carer to her mother and father, collapsed after getting her father out of the burning house at about 02:00. She was treated at the scene and then taken to the ERI.
Her parents, Bobby, 77, and Margaret Rose, 76, are being treated at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for smoke inhalation.
There were 10 aerosols in her bedroom where she had been making the wreath.
An investigation is being conducted at the ground floor flat in Old Craighall Road.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) spokesman said: "Our thoughts are with her family at this sad time.
"A joint investigation between Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland is taking place to establish the cause of the fire."
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Police in East Lothian are investigating following a house fire in Old Craighall in the early hours of Sunday.
"Three people were injured and taken to hospital for treatment.
"A 43-year-old woman was taken to the St Johns Hospital, Livingston with serious injuries where she sadly died.
"A man aged 77 and a woman aged 76 are being treated for minor injuries at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
"Inquiries are ongoing into the full circumstances."
The homemade device, which was found in the toilets at the Fishergate Shopping Centre in Preston on 17 December, ignited but did not explode.
David Rutherford, 24, of Barry Avenue, Preston appeared at the town's magistrates' court accused of unlawfully making an explosive with intent to endanger life.
He was remanded in custody for 14 days.
Paolo Passerini, defending, told the court he did not object to his client being remanded in custody but told magistrates there were "issues" over the defendant's mental health and his ability to understand proceedings.
No pleas were entered and there was no application for bail.
There will be a further hearing by video link on 8 January before the defendant's next court appearance on 14 January.
Walmart said Sean Clarke's experience would allow him to "reposition the business" in a competitive market.
Sean Clarke started his retail career at Asda in 2001 and has also worked for Walmart in Japan and Canada.
Asda has now reported seven straight quarters of declining sales.
The appointment comes as a surprise after Andy Clarke said last week in an interview that he would be succeeded by Roger Burnley, who is joining Asda from Sainsbury's.
Mr Burnley has been named as Asda's deputy chief executive and chief operating officer.
David Cheesewright, president and chief executive of Walmart International, said Mr Burnley was "a top talent and a future CEO".
Andy Clarke has served as Asda's chief executive for six years in an increasingly tough market.
Last month, the retailer said like-for-like sales in the first quarter of the year fell 5.7% in the face of "fierce competition".
It seems that Andy Clarke is going earlier than he anticipated. Although he moved faster than his main rivals to try to counter the threat of the discounters, Asda has been haemorrhaging sales for the last seven quarters. Mr Clarke promised to narrow the price gap but the discounters are still the cheapest grocers on the high street meanwhile Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons have all upped their game, leaving Asda trailing behind. Sean Clarke is described as a rising star within Walmart, someone who is experienced in dealing with major structural change. Clearly Walmart thinks a fresh pair of eyes is now needed to revive Asda's performance and he's been parachuted in.
Parent company Walmart will hope his successor can grab back some of their market share.
Mr Cheesewright said: "Sean is one of our most experienced global executives, and through his leadership we will build upon the momentum of Project Renewal to reposition Asda in a very competitive market place."
Project Renewal is a programme designed to overhaul Asda's product range, modernise its 95 largest stores and reduce costs.
Asda is attempting to recoup sales by narrowing the price gap with the discounters and widen its price advantage over its three biggest rivals.
All of the four major UK supermarket chains - Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons - have been engaged in a long-running price war as part of an attempt to slow gains in market share by discounters such as Aldi and Lidl.
Last week, online retailer Amazon launched its fresh grocery service in the UK, adding to competition in the sector.
He told an audience of Ryanair cabin crew, suited and booted in their blue and gold uniforms, and the assembled media that the economic debate about whether or not we'd be better or worse off if we left the EU is "over", saying it's time to "stop pretending". More to the point, his rivals on the other side are "conspiracists" who are reaching for more and more crazy theories to try to make their case.
Just in case you hadn't got the point that the Remain campaign is trying to show they have the weight of opinion on their side he brought along his old nemesis Ed Balls, his old lib Dem foe and colleague, Sir Vince Cable, and today, made all the arguments in front of a very shiny new Ryanair jet branded with the 'safer, stronger' slogans of the Remain campaign.
Oh, and for good measure, the Treasury have added some more claims to the fraught debate over statistics that £200bn would be lost from trade by 2030 if we go.
It is absolutely true that the weight of established economic opinion would agree with the chancellor that the UK economy would suffer somewhat, at least in the short term, as the UK tried to make its way outside the EU.
But it is also true that there are economists and businesses, smaller in number but significant nonetheless, who disagree. And indeed, swathes of the Conservative Party dispute it too. For Mr Osborne, Sir Vince Cable and Ed Balls the economic case is crystal clear, but the politics for the Tories is certainly not so straightforward.
Just as the chancellor is trying to claim victory in the economic debate his colleagues on the other side like Boris Johnson are digging in, characterising the debate as nothing less than a struggle between fat cats and the common man.
George Osborne can claim the economic debate is over, but voters will decide who and what they want to hear.
Dozens of demonstrators were arrested, with hundreds vowing to stay put to continue the protest.
Protesters want the Chinese government to scrap rules allowing it to vet Hong Kong's top leader in the 2017 poll.
Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung said the demonstration was "illegal" and elections would go ahead as planned.
China has also condemned the protest, and offered "its strong backing" to the Hong Kong government.
The broader Occupy Central protest movement threw its weight behind the student-led protests on Sunday, bringing forward a mass civil disobedience campaign due to start on Wednesday.
Protesters blocked a busy thoroughfare that runs through the heart of Hong Kong's financial district on Sunday, clashing with police as they tried to join a mass sit-in outside government headquarters.
Police used pepper spray and repeatedly shot tear gas into the air to drive back the protesters from the busy Connaught Road. Protesters used umbrellas and face masks to defend themselves.
As evening fell, the police lobbed tear gas canisters into the crowd, scattering some of the protesters. But many of the demonstrators regrouped and retreated to a nearby park.
According to the AFP news agency, some 3,000 protesters blocked a second major thoroughfare in the Mongkok district of Kowloon late on Sunday.
After clashes with police earlier in the week, pro-democracy protesters appeared to be much better prepared on Sunday.
Many arrived sporting raincoats or wrapped in plastic with swimming goggles over their eyes - items chosen to protest against the sting of tear gas and pepper spray.
Still, there was surprise and chaos when the first round of tear gas was fired in the early evening. Thousands of people ran for cover when the canisters hit the ground, spewing white smoke and a distinctively sharp smell into the air.
I was helped by a middle-aged couple who noticed my growing baby bump and were concerned for my health. They pressed a water-soaked blue handkerchief into my face to reduce the amount of tear gas I would breath in. But they disappeared before I could thank them properly.
The student organisers behind the protest, the Hong Kong Federation of Students, have appealed for students to retreat due to fears that police could use rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.
A co-organiser of Occupy Central, Chan Kin-man, says he supports the students' decision.
Police said they had arrested 78 people on Sunday on charges of "forcible entry into government premises, unlawful assembly, disorderly conduct in public place, assaulting public officers and obstructing police officers in due execution of duties".
It comes after the arrest of more than 70 people in Saturday's protests, including prominent student activist leader Joshua Wong, who has since been released.
Thousands joined a sit-in organised by students outside government headquarters this weekend, bolstering a week-old protest, which began as a strike by students calling for democratic reforms.
Occupy Central had originally planned to paralyse the central business district next Wednesday, but organisers advanced the protest and changed the location in an apparent bid to harness momentum from student protests.
The announcement came early on Sunday, with a statement by the movement saying Mr Leung had "failed to deliver on political reform".
But speaking in his first public statement since the protests began, Mr Leung said that he and his government had "been listening attentively to members of [the] public".
He said that political consultations would continue on the planned changes but warned that "resolute" action would be taken against the "illegal demonstration".
The protesters had also called for further talks but it is not clear how far - if at all - Mr Leung's mention of further consultations will be seen as recognising their demands.
A spokesman for China's Hong Kong and Macau affairs office said that Beijing "firmly opposes all illegal activities that could undermine rule of law and jeopardise 'social tranquillity' and it offers its strong backing" to the Hong Kong government, Xinhua news agency reports.
Unrest began when the Chinese government announced that candidates for the 2017 chief executive election would first have to be approved by a nominating committee.
Activists have argued that this does not amount to true democracy.
Q&A: Hong Kong's democracy controversy
Two-month-old Daisy Mae Burrill died three days after John Burrill fractured his daughter's skull in Fleetwood, Lancashire.
The prosecution said her injuries were consistent with being gripped by the legs and swung against a hard surface.
The 31-year-old had admitted manslaughter at Preston Crown Court but a jury found him guilty of murder.
He had initially told medical staff and police the infant became limp but he could not explain why.
The court heard the child's mother, Ashlee Cox, described her then-partner as "moody" when he got up to feed the baby at their home in Gordon Road on the morning of 11 March.
Burrill told the court the baby had initially gone back to sleep but began to cry again.
He admitted to jurors he lost his temper "quite a lot" and added: "I think the tiredness just took over and I really lost my rag and I threw her down on to the couch."
The baby was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital and later transferred to Manchester Children's Hospital where her life support was switched off on 14 March.
Burrill could not explain the extent of her injuries.
In his closing speech, prosecutor Andrew O'Byrne QC, said the defendant had lied repeatedly to "save his own skin".
"Poor Daisy Mae made the fateful error. The child cried and irritated her father. He lost his temper and he hurt her and he killed her.
"I am sure that he now regrets it, but that is the cold and brutal truth," he added.
Burrill will be sentenced on Wednesday.
The group said it expected earnings this year before interest and tax (EBITA) to be about 20% down on 2015.
It blamed continuing pressures on margins as a result of "expected lower activity" by oil and gas firms.
The Aberdeen-based firm said its profit expectations for the year were "in line with current analyst consensus expectations" of about $377m (£261m).
In a statement, Wood said: "Year to date financial performance, although down on 2015, continues to benefit from the breadth of our offering, our focus on management of utilisation in response to demand, and structural overhead cost savings."
It added: "Our continued focus on reducing costs, improving efficiency and broadening our service offering through organic initiatives and strategic acquisitions, positions us as a strong and balanced business in both the current environment and for when market conditions recover.
"A trading update for the first half of the year will be provided on 30 June 2016."
Wood recently announced a series of major contract wins, including two new contracts in Iraq worth a combined $140m, and a $500m deal to provide services for BP-operated offshore projects in Azerbaijan.
The group operates in more than 50 countries. Its three businesses - Wood Group PSN, Wood Group Kenny and Wood Group Mustang - provide a range of engineering, production support and maintenance management services to the oil and gas and power generation industries.
The organisation hopes the fund will lower the number of arrivals into EU nations.
Under the deal, the EU's executive is contributing €1bn to the fund, while the 28 member states will contribute the rest.
More than a million migrants reached the EU last year by sea, many of them travelling through Turkey.
Turkey is home to nearly three million refugees, most of them fleeing the conflict in neighbouring Syria.
A deal was struck last year between Turkey and the EU, offering Turkey funding and political concessions in return for tightening its borders.
However, financing was only secured on Wednesday after Italy dropped its objections.
Italy had questioned how much of the money should come from EU budgets but the measure has now passed unanimously.
Welcoming the move, European Commission Vice-President Frans Timmermans said: "The money we are putting on the table will directly benefit Syrian refugees in Turkey.
"I also welcome the measures already taken by the Turkish authorities to give Syrian refugees access to the labour market and to reduce the flows."

The man, in his 30s, was checking boat moorings in Mylor Creek, near Falmouth in Cornwall when he got stuck.
Falmouth Coastguard said a mud rescue team with specialist equipment rescued the man.
He was taken to the Royal Cornwall Hospital for treatment.
A coastguard spokesman said a resident who lived nearby called the emergency services at about 15:00 GMT on Saturday.
He warned people to be cautious around tidal waters.
The Missouri woman spoke to the delivery man at the door while her alleged captor, her own husband, was standing behind her with a gun.
She managed to write her plea for help on the mail item and the driver alerted police, according to court documents.
A SWAT team was dispatched and arrested James Tyler Jordan, 33.
The wife told police that shortly before the UPS driver showed up at the property near Robertsville on Tuesday, her husband was holding a gun to her head and had threatened he would kill her then turn the weapon on himself.
Mr Jordan's wife told authorities her husband had forced her to strip and subjected her to sexual assaults while refusing to let her leave the house.
During her ordeal, which began on Monday night, a three-year-old child was locked in a bedroom without food or water for 15 hours, according to court documents.
"He was a huge help," Franklin County Sheriff's Department Sgt TJ Wild told KMOV-TV of the UPS driver.
In a statement, UPS praised its employee for having "followed protocol when he saw a customer in distress".
Mr Jordan is charged with sexual assault, domestic assault, felonious restraint, unlawful use of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.
He is being held on $100,000 (£80,000) bail.
Writing on his blog, Manchester City Council leader Sir Richard Leese said: "We've had at least one example of somebody commuting from London to beg on our streets."
He suggested Mancunians were "a generous lot" and "more than willing to put something into an empty cup".
One homeless charity described the situation as "complicated".
The Labour politician said: "I suspect that most people who give to beggars think the money is going to pay for food and shelter, when the most likely beneficiaries are the nearest off-licence, drug dealer or the mysterious people seen dropping some beggars off in the city centre and then picking them up again later in the day."
He said his council would soon have "real engagement" with "generous Manchester people" about how their generosity can most benefit people in genuine need "largely by supporting those voluntary organisations best placed to work with people on the street, rather than supporting individual drug and alcohol habits."
He acknowledged homelessness was a "serious and growing problem", not only in Manchester, but across the country.
"Lack of affordable housing, welfare cuts and cuts to support services have all fuelled this growth," Sir Richard added.
Referring to the homelessness camp in Manchester city centre, he said: "One thing we do know is that plonking tents in the city centre is not the way of dealing with homelessness, although in reality many of the tent occupiers are not homeless.
"I think we have a number of serial protesters who are quite willing to use some of our most vulnerable citizens for their own political ends, including making it difficult for our street homelessness team to reach out to people who need help."
He said the council had been able to house everyone in the camps who was willing to be housed.
Sir Richard said he was working on proposals "to ensure that as winter comes in, nobody needs to be out on the street."
But a spokesman for Homeless Link, the national membership charity for organisations working directly with people who become homeless in England, said: "The situation is very complicated; just as not all homeless people are sleeping rough, not everyone begging on the streets during the day is homeless.
"Many of those of begging or who are homeless will have complex needs, will be vulnerable and need support from the appropriate agencies."
The organisation campaigns to make services better and for policy changed that will help end homelessness.
Kate McDonald, chief executive of Young People's Support Foundation, a charity that works with young people in Manchester, said there were a lot more people on the street than 18 months ago.
"We have seen a lot of young people living in the camps and quite a lot who have come to join the camps and don't want any help. We have seen a few who already have accommodation," she said.
Liu Xiaobo, a Chinese dissident and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has spent years in prison for calling for political change in his country. For more than half of his marriage to Liu Xia he has been imprisoned, and now he is dying of cancer. The BBC's Celia Hatton looks back at how the couple's love survived.
They fought to be allowed to marry each other. But when the government in Beijing finally backed down, permitting one of its unrelenting critics to marry his love, problems remained.
The camera that was supposed to take the couple's official marriage picture wouldn't work. The photographer was left scratching his head. Chinese marriage certificates aren't valid unless they contain an official portrait snapped at the scene.
So, Liu Xiaobo and and his would-be wife, Liu Xia, improvised. They found single photos of themselves and stuck them side by side. The makeshift photo was stamped and finally, they were married.
That was in 1996.
Getting married was a small victory for the couple. It gave Liu Xia the right to visit her new husband in the grim labour camp in north-eastern China where he had recently been imprisoned. Liu Xia made the 1,600km (1,000 miles) round trip from Beijing every month.
"The train to the concentration camp," she wrote in a poem. "Sobbing pass and running over my body/ Yet I still couldn't hold your hand."
Their wedding banquet was in the labour camp's cafeteria, a scenario that would prove to be symbolic. Throughout their intense romance, the Chinese government was a relentless and interfering third wheel, the uninvited partner providing a constant backdrop to their interactions.
By all accounts, Liu Xiaobo and Liu Xia were inseparable, except when they were forcibly separated.
Liu Xiaobo started as a brilliant writer and a beloved professor who was often invited to speak and study abroad.
In the spring of 1989, he was in New York City when he heard about the pro-democracy protests making their way to Tiananmen Square. He returned home to China at once.
Xiaobo helped spur on the protesters, as their calls for political reform rose to a crescendo, and then helped to negotiate with Chinese soldiers for many of the students to leave without harm.
It is still a state secret how many were killed by government forces in June 1989, but most agree the death toll would have been far higher without Liu Xiaobo.
That made little difference to the government.
Days after the silence fell on Tiananmen, Xiaobo was placed in a secret detention centre. He stayed there for almost twenty months. When he was released, he had lost nearly everything, including his prestigious teaching job and his home.
It was then that Liu Xiaobo connected with the light of his life: an exuberant young poet named Liu Xia.
"I found all the beauty in the world in this one woman," he reportedly told a friend.
Six years younger, she was already recognised as a gifted writer. Her close friend, the writer Liao Yiwu, said that back then, she was always giggling. Xia's high tolerance for alcohol was also legendary; she could drink her friends under the table. Xiaobo adored large meals, but would only drink Coca-Cola.
Liu Xia came from a privileged background, the daughter of a high-ranking banking official. She was expected to become a civil servant too, but had recently given up that stable life in favour of writing.
Against all odds, Xia's parents encouraged her relationship with Xiaobo, despite his political troubles.
In the early days, the couple tried to establish the semblance of a normal life. Xiaobo moved into Xia's apartment, not far from Tiananmen Square, and they made a life together.
Liu Xiaobo was under near-constant surveillance by security agents, who pressured him to stop writing about the need for democracy, to stop criticising China's one-party state.
"You must understand: If the government persecutes someone, the first thing they try to do is disturb their private life" explains the couple's friend, Tienchi Martin-Liao.
"They will separate the couple. If someone is in jail, their family's life ends too."
The couple never seriously considered having a larger family, Tienchi says.
"I asked him once, 'Hey, why don't you have a child with Liu Xia?'" Tienchi continues.
"Xiaobo told me: 'I do not want that child, a son or a daughter, to see their father be taken away by the police'.
"He told me that. That is the reason why the couple never had children."
Tienchi worked as Liu Xiaobo's editor, spending hours on the phone with him. Xia would sometimes bring him soup while he was on the phone, and Tienchi would listen to him happily slurp it down.
Later, when Xiaobo was handed his final prison sentence, the one that would put him behind bars for 11 years, Tienchi switched to speaking with Xia, who often sobbed on the phone.
"Of course she loves him and she is willing to do everything for him," Tienchi explained. "And sometimes she complains. Not really complains but still she says, 'Well, I have never had a peaceful day since I am with you together.'
"Which is true, which is totally true. Which doesn't mean that she wants to leave him or anything like that. She just wants to emphasise how difficult and under what hard conditions their love connection to each other has survived."
Even when Liu Xiaobo was out of prison, the couple was rarely left alone for long.
"Because he has written so many socially critical articles, a lot of underprivileged people would go to his house," Tienchi Liao remembers.
"He doesn't even know them. They just knock at his door and ring the bell at his house and say, 'please help me, some injustice has happened to me'. And mostly, he would help those people."
Liu Xiaobo once recalled that even the pleasures of a birthday party were sometimes impossible.
He once told a Hong Kong newspaper, "at Liu Xia's birthday, her best friend brought two bottles of wine but they were blocked by the police from my home. I ordered a cake and the police also rejected the man who delivered the cake to us. I quarrelled with them and the police said, "it is for your security. Bomb attacks are common these days."
But Xiaobo didn't ever decide to stop his work, even when it interfered with his home life with Xia. And some of that drive he blamed on his concern for her future.
"Liu Xiaobo frankly explained that he wanted to take advantage of the energy that he still has," his biographer and close friend, the writer Yu Jie, wrote.
"So he could save up more money for Liu Xia, just in case one day something happened to him. At least Liu Xia would still be able to live without worrying about food and clothing."
Some intellectuals said he wrote too many articles, and some of them lacked polish.
Everything changed when Liu Xiaobo helped to draft and circulate Charter 08, the document calling for an end to China's one-party rule that would land him in prison.
Xia had always stayed away from Xiaobo's political commentary, but she told the filmmaker Ai Xiaoming that she knew Charter 08 heralded trouble.
"I saw it coming early on," she explained. "'From the time that the first draft of Charter 08 appeared in my home, to when Xiaobo threw himself into revising it, I just knew that something terrible was going to happen."
"Did you read it?" Ai asked her.
"I had no interest in doing so," she answered. "But I knew there'd be big trouble. I tried to tell Xiaobo, but it was no use. I could only do what I'd done in the past - patiently wait for calamity to descend."
Before Charter 08 was officially released, Xiaobo was taken away. At his trial almost a year later, he was found guilty of trying to overthrow the state.
His last public statement, made to the court in 2009, ended with an acknowledgement to his wife.
He said: "Throughout all these years that I have lived without freedom, our love was full of bitterness imposed by outside circumstances, but as I savour its aftertaste, it remains boundless.
"I am serving my sentence in a tangible prison, while you wait in the intangible prison of the heart. Your love is the sunlight that leaps over high walls and penetrates the iron bars of my prison window, stroking every inch of my skin, warming every cell of my body, allowing me to always keep peace, openness, and brightness in my heart, and filling every minute of my time in prison with meaning.
"My love for you, on the other hand, is so full of remorse and regret that it at times makes me stagger under its weight."
It's unclear how much Liu Xiaobo knew about Xia's living conditions after he began his final prison sentence.
Shortly after he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 she was placed under strict house arrest, confined to her small apartment in Beijing.
When speaking with the BBC in 2010, Liu Xia said she couldn't give Xiaobo any detailed information about her house arrest. "We were not allowed to talk about these things. We couldn't talk about these things. Anyhow, I thought he could understand me. I just told him, 'I live a life similar to yours'."
"Originally I thought, when it just happened, that I would just be locked in for about a month or two. Time flies, now I've been locked for two years."
As the years under house arrest dragged on, Xia became clinically depressed.
She had intermittent access to a phone, but could only phone a few close family members. A group of police would take Xia to see Xiaobo on occasions, but those visits were closely watched by the authorities, who would halt conversations if too much was shared.
Liu Xiaobo was finally reunited with his wife only after it was clear that he was dying of liver cancer. After he received medical parole and was transferred to a hospital in northern China, he pushed to leave China for overseas treatment. For Xia's sake, sources told the BBC.
"He worries what will happen when he's gone," one friend explained. "He wants to take her out of China, and her brother too."
Tienchi's voice drops when asked about the future for Liu Xia after her beloved Xiaobo passes away. "We know that she is very ill, physically and psychologically. We are all worried he doesn't have much time to live and we are all worried afterwards what happens to her."
When Xiaobo is gone, Xia will have little left of him. In 2009, she admitted that even Xiaobo's poems and letters to her have all but gone.
"During Xiaobo's re-education through labour for three years from 8 October 1996 to 8 October 1999, I wrote him more than 300 letters and he wrote me 2-3 million words. After our home was raided several times, his writings generally disappeared.
"This is our life."
Danish PM Lars Lokke Rasmussen said plans for a brake on benefit payments were "understandable and acceptable" and he would be as "supportive as possible" to keep the UK in the EU.
Mr Cameron is trying to garner support for an EU-wide deal in two weeks' time.
He insisted any agreement would be "legally binding and irreversible".
However, European Parliament president Martin Schulz has said he could not guarantee MEPs would "adopt" the welfare proposals without amendment and said they would be subject to months of debate, potentially delaying their implementation.
Mr Cameron, who has spent the day in Poland and Denmark, has said he is making progress towards his goal of rewriting the terms of the UK's membership of the EU.
He needs the backing of all 28 EU leaders for his draft renegotiation package and hopes to secure it at a summit on 18 and 19 February, thus paving the way for a UK referendum in June.
Following talks in Copenhagen, Mr Rasmussen said Denmark - a country historically sceptical about the EU and which also retains its own currency - did not object to any of the UK's proposals and did not expect them to be significantly amended in the coming weeks.
He said the EU needed to retain a "strong British voice". "I truly believe that adopting this package will create a better Europe," he said.
On the issue of welfare curbs, which is proving a stick point for a number of other EU members, Mr Rasmussen said individual members should be able to "protect" their national welfare systems from abuse.
"It creates momentum towards the goal of ensuring that the EU does not develop into a social union," he said.
"We need to ensure that EU citizens move across borders to work, not to seek a high level of benefits.
"The package also contains an emergency brake which is specifically designed to handle the particular problems faced by the UK in regard to in-work benefits. That is perfectly understandable and acceptable to us."
Poland and other members of the so-called Visegrad group - the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia - have expressed about the welfare restrictions, warning that it breaks freedom of movement rules and discriminates against their citizens.
Poland could have been a difficult country for David Cameron to win over.
With a million Poles working in the UK the prospect of new welfare curbs on EU workers has been particularly contentious in Warsaw.
Politicians there have consistently warned against any measure that would cause discrimination.
But now, on the table, is a proposal Poland seems set to support.
After meeting David Cameron this morning, the leader of the governing Law and Justice party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said he was "satisfied" with the plans to reduce in-work benefits for four years and stressed the measure wouldn't affect Poles already living in Britain.
Mr Kaczynski is a power-broker in Polish politics and said his country had gained "very much" from the negotiations, including the right of Polish workers in the UK to continue sending child benefit back home, albeit at a reduced rate.
Speaking after a meeting with the Danish prime minister in Copenhagen, a buoyant David Cameron sounded optimistic about sewing up a deal.
After talks with Mr Cameron, Polish PM Beata Szydlo said she backed the UK's plans to boost national sovereignty and raise competitiveness but said the welfare needed to be "ironed out" to ensure Poles in the UK were not disadvantaged.
"There are always topics that need to be ironed out," she told reporters. "Over a million Poles live and work in Britain. Their work is growing Britain's GDP and we want them to enjoy the same kind of opportunities for development as Britons."
Mr Cameron said the talks were "very good" but acknowledged there was "important detail to be filled in".
He stressed he was working towards a "full strategic partnership" between the two countries on a range of issues, including that of security, amid Polish concerns about the growth of Russian influence on its eastern flank and what Nato's response will be.
Countries on the EU's eastern flank are to meet next week before providing a joint response to the reform package, Hungary's foreign minister said.
The draft proposals were published by European Council president Donald Tusk on Tuesday after months of negotiations between UK and EU officials and pave the way for Britain's EU referendum to take place as early as June.
An EU source close to the negotiations told the BBC the proposals had met initial resistance from many countries and Mr Cameron faced two weeks of "difficult" negotiations before the summit in Brussels.

Boro have lost their last two games and are now second in the table below new leaders Hull after Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
"I have to learn, I have to know the mistakes that I have made," Karanka told BBC Tees.
"It is not the players' mistakes because it has been my mistakes."
He continued: "The best thing is that I know the mistakes and fortunately I can fix it."
The Teessiders were on a run of five straight wins before defeats to Bristol City and Forest in the last week, having previously only lost four league games.
"Sometimes we have lost games playing well. But my concern is that we are losing the games and we are not playing well," said Karanka.
"It's the fourth game that we don't play in our way, but the best thing is that we have time to work on the pitch to recover our style."
Former Athletic Bilbao striker Kike Sola is Middlesbrough's only signing of the transfer window so far, but Karanka remains keen to strengthen his squad.
"I needed to do something [against Forest] and I didn't have the right players to make the substitution I would have liked to," he added.
The 17th Century walls, which form a walkway around the city, were scanned to produce detailed images and videos.
Medieval sculptures at White Island on Lower Lough Erne in County Fermanagh and Navan Fort in County Armagh were also recreated as part of the project.
The work has been carried out by the Dublin-based Discovery Programme, which researches Irish archaeology.
Derry's walls were built between 1613 and 1618 by the Honourable Irish Society as defences for settlers from England and Scotland.
They are Northern Ireland's largest state monument and, as the last walled city to be built in Europe, many argue that the Maiden City's barricades are the most complete and spectacular.
The 3D models that have been created will be of use for gaming, TV and films, as well as for providing imaging for exhibitions and websites.
Rob Shaw, a surveyor on the project, said the full 1.5km circuit of the walls was scanned to a precision of 1cm.
And working on the walls was made all the more challenging because, unlike most of the other sites that were recorded, they are based right in the heart of a bustling city.
"We surveyed the walls using a terrestrial laser scanner and carried out the work over three visits, and a total of three solid weeks," he said.
"You do leave yourself a target for curiosity - people wonder what you're doing - and traffic coming through the gates made it difficult, too."
But the work did not finish there.
Typically, one day in the field is followed by three days of modelling using the software that creates the final images.
"There is an engineering purpose for recording the walls, too," Mr Shaw said.
"If the walls were to get damaged in any way - say if a truck hit part of one of the gates - we have a record of the walls for engineers so they can use that as a basis for carrying out repairs.
"Heritage can be very fragile, precious monuments can be very fragile, and that is one of the reasons why we've done this."
The three-year EU co-funded project is documenting UNESCO World Heritage monuments and other monuments of outstanding value.
The monastery at Skellig Michael in County Kerry, the passage tomb at Newgrange in County Meath and the Pulnabrone dolmen in County Clare are among the ancient structures in the Republic of Ireland that have been scanned and recreated using the cutting edge 3D technology.
The models have already been used by teachers in history lessons across Ireland and Mr Shaw says they also offer benefits to the tourism sector.
"Ireland's big tag-line in tourism terms is based on its heritage," he said.
"People come to see the walls and the gates, or any of the other monuments and buildings, on the website, and it could spur them to make a visit."
Mr Shaw said he was now keen for the project to cover more sites in Northern Ireland.
"This has been a pilot programme in its first phase and we'd like to do a lot more.
"We haven't got a definitive list, but we would be interested in going down a thematic route, looking at early Christian carvings or high crosses.
"Many of the places we visited are places you know about as a child, and so to be given a key to them and left there to discover them was a real privilege."
Frederic Frans had announced on Monday that he was leaving and has returned to Belgium to re-sign for Lierse.
The 29-year-old Miller joined Thistle last summer after leaving St Johnstone and made 24 appearances.
Gallacher had only played once, but the 36-year-old was also goalkeeping coach with the Premiership club.
The former Scotland international, who joined Thistle after leaving Ross County in 2013, had fallen to third choice behind Tomas Cerny and Ryan Scully at Firhill.
Wilson, who came through the club's youth ranks, made only 12 appearances last season, but the 21-year-old started in the final two games of the season and has agreed a one-year contract extension.
Nick Clegg will say his party's policy, announced last month, would be a "red line" in post-election negotiations.
The parties are trying to rally support on the final weekend of campaigning.
David Cameron will urge voters to "stop and think" about the "historic choice" facing them on Thursday, while Labour will attempt to put pressure on the other parties over tuition fees.
The two largest parties appear to be neck and neck according to most of the opinion polls carried out for the Sunday newspapers.
This suggests a hung parliament is likely, and the Lib Dems have been setting out their "red lines" - with public sector pay joining education spending, a £12,500 personal allowance, £8bn for the NHS and an emergency "stability budget".
Mr Clegg has already said his opposition to an EU referendum - as proposed by the Conservatives and UKIP - will not be a red line.
He has also said he would talk to the largest party first if there is a hung parliament, and that he would not join a government that relied on support from the SNP or UKIP.
His final policy demand involves public sector pay rising with inflation for two years from 2016, and then by more than inflation once the deficit has been dealt with.
What are the top issues for each political party at the 2015 general election?
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Public sector pay was frozen for the first two years of the coalition government, followed by 1% rises. Schools have been given the power to award top-performing teachers a rise of up to 2%.
The Conservatives plan to continue "restraining" public sector pay, which was increased by up to 1% in March.
Labour's manifesto says any decisions on public sector pay in the next Parliament must "prioritise those on lower incomes", be evidence based and respect pay review body recommendations.
Mr Clegg will say it is time to offer public servants "some light at the end of the tunnel".
He will add: "Liberal Democrats will not enter a coalition with a party not prepared to back pay rises for people working in the public sector.
"They have paid more than their fair share, and now enough is enough."
His party has sought to portray itself as the centre-ground "anchor" of a future coalition.
Mr Clegg also told the Independent on Sunday he would not allow his party to "split" as a result of pressure to go into coalition, saying this would be a "disaster".
Mr Cameron, meanwhile, will urge people not to vote tactically for the Lib Dems or back UKIP if they want him to remain in Downing Street.
He will say a vote for UKIP would let in Labour, which would herald a "sharp turn to the left" and that the Lib Dems would also be willing to side with Ed Miliband's party.
"As you spend time with your family and friends, I'd urge all voters to take a moment and stop and think about the decision they have to make in just four days' time," he will say.
"It's no exaggeration to say Britain will be making an historic choice."
Labour, meanwhile, will claim Conservative plans for spending cuts suggest a rise in tuition fees up to £11,500 a year.
The party said this was based on a £1.5bn cut to the higher education budget by 2018-19.

Wales edged a tense last-16 match at the Parc des Princes in Paris courtesy of Gareth McAuley's own goal.
Coleman's side will face Belgium or Hungary in the last eight.
"These boys, the good thing about them is they have a bit of spirit about them and when they're not playing so well they can hang in," Coleman said.
"We showed a lot of heart, a lot of courage and showed another side to our game.
"We came through it and it is a fantastic achievement - it feels brilliant."
Northern Ireland had frustrated Wales with a resolute defensive display until McAuley's 75th-minute own goal.
And Coleman conceded Michael O'Neill's side, also appearing in their first European Championship finals, were the better team on the day.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Northern Ireland were the underdogs and you wouldn't have thought that looking at the game," Coleman told BBC Sport.
"Northern Ireland are very organised. Michael has got them working very hard for each other and they're dangerous.
"We had to be patient and we hung on in there. The performance does not put a downer on it.
"I would rather be standing here, in the quarter-final, having not played at our best."
Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale, whose cross led to the winning goal, hailed Wales' achievement in reaching the quarter-finals as "incredible".
Wales are playing in a first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup.
"We knew it was going to be an ugly match and no disrespect to Ireland, but they make it difficult to play and we knew that, we knew it from the start," Bale said.
"We knew that up top we were not going to get much service, there is not much space, but we worked hard and did everything we could.
"We knew one goal would likely be enough to win the game and thankfully it came for us.
"You can't ask for any more than this - it is incredible."
Wales ended the contest with skipper Ashley Williams suffering with an apparent arm injury.
Williams already seemed to be moving tentatively before a bruising collision with team-mate Jonny Williams floored and rattled him late on.
Substitute James Collins was ready to enter the game, but Williams insisted he stayed on the field.
"He's a bit tender with his shoulder. The next 24-48 hours will be key," Coleman said.
"It will be crucial whether it's bruising, whether it's impact or - hopefully not - there's damage to any ligaments or a tear in his muscle."
Having apparently recovered from the collision, Williams briefly sat down on the pitch as play continued, leading Coleman to ready a substitute.
"I thought he was struggling because he couldn't move his arm," he said. "I was going to take him off - he said he was OK to continue so, of course, I trust my captain.
"We were right to keep him on. He still made some important interceptions."
Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill felt Wales deliberately made the most of Williams' situation.
"I was disappointed with the time-wasting. The bench told Ashley Williams to sit down," he told BBC Sport.
Trucks and cars began crossing the border into North Korea at exactly 08:00 (23:00 GMT Sunday).
More than 800 South Koreans were due to cross to the jointly-run centre for what is being called a trial restart.
The zone, just inside North Korea, is home to 123 South Korean factories that employ more than 50,000 North Koreans.
It is the last functioning inter-Korean joint project and a key source of revenue for Pyongyang.
By Lucy WilliamsonBBC News, Seoul
The last time trucks queued up at the Kaesong crossing point, five months ago, the border with North Korea remained resolutely closed. This time, shortly after 08:00, the long line of vehicles began moving through, on their way to the newly-reopened industrial complex.
More than 800 South Koreans were due to cross over into Kaesong on Monday, to restart operations at around half the factories there.
The resurrection of the complex is the result of weeks of tough negotiations between the two sides, and those discussions are still not finalised. Among those heading across the border today were a team of negotiators, tasked with hammering out the details for how the complex would look in future.
High on their agenda is the subject of internet and mobile phone access for the site - contentious issues for the North, but key if foreign investors are to be wooed to the complex as a stabilising influence.
After a five-month suspension of the complex, attracting foreign companies has perhaps become a little harder. And even South Korea remains wary, calling Monday's operation a "trial run", not a formal and permanent re-opening of Kaesong.
But Kaesong remains, to many here, the "canary in the mine" of inter-Korean relations, and the agreement to resume operations there paved the way for further signs of a thaw between the two Koreas: the restoration of a military hotline, and a planned reunion of families separated by the Korean War.
Its commercial image may be tarnished, but Kaesong's importance as a political symbol here remains.
But the North withdrew all of its workers in April, as ties between the two Koreas deteriorated in the wake of Pyongyang's 12 February nuclear test.
Reopening the complex has taken months of negotiation.
South Korea's Unification Ministry said a total of 820 managers and workers planned to cross into the complex on Monday, with 400 to stay there overnight.
They will be inspecting production facilities to assess how quickly a full restart can be implemented after five months of inactivity.
The restart is being described as a trial but more than half of the South Korean companies had asked North Korean employees to report for work, the ministry said.
Negotiations on resuming operations at the complex faltered for weeks on South Korea's insistence that safeguards must be in place to prevent any future unilateral shut-down of the site by North Korea.
But the two sides have now set up a joint management committee to run operations at Kaesong, which last week set a restart date for the complex.
The committee has also reached agreement on smoother access to the site for South Koreans by expanding permitted border crossing times and is negotiating about improving communications there.
The Koreas have also agreed to open the site to foreign investors - a move seen as making it harder for North Korea to unilaterally close the complex again.
South Korean firms will be exempt from taxes for the rest of the year, to offset losses incurred while the complex was closed.
But some local businessmen remain worried about the risks of doing business with Pyongyang.
Q&A: Kaesong Industrial Complex
"Honestly, I still feel a bit nervous, because you never know whether the North will change its mind in the future," a textile company manager told the French news agency AFP. "Who knows if a crisis like this won't happen again?" he said.
The shutdown was the first for the Kaesong complex since it was opened more than a decade ago.
It came during a period of very high tension on the Korean peninsula.
The 12 February nuclear test led to expanded UN sanctions which, along with an annual US-South Korean joint military drill, angered Pyongyang.
It threatened attacks on multiple targets in the region, prompting warnings - and displays of high-tech military hardware - from the US.
Tensions have eased somewhat in recent weeks, however.
The two Koreas have also recently agreed to hold the first reunion of families separated by the division of the peninsula after the 1950-53 Korean War later this month. It will be the first such reunion in 10 years.
Suleyman Shah's tomb was relocated in a covert Turkish military operation in February over concerns that Islamic State militants would destroy it.
Syria described the relocation as an act of "flagrant aggression".
Mr Davutoglu's trip is the first such visit by a Turkish political leader to the 13th-Century tomb in Syria.
Shah, who lived from about 1178 to 1236, was grandfather of the founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman I.
The tomb now lies a few hundred metres from the border with Turkey in Aleppo province. It was originally situated much further inside Syria and was designated the one and only Turkish enclave abroad in accordance with a treaty signed in 1921.
One soldier was accidentally killed while the tomb was relocated, the Turkish army said, in an operation involving tanks, drones and reconnaissance planes.
Mr Davutoglu travelled there on Sunday in a convoy of armoured vehicles, protected by helicopters, the Dogan news agency reports.
The prime minister's unannounced visit into Syria is likely to anger the authorities in Damascus.
The government of President Bashar al-Assad said that Turkey had informed its Istanbul consulate about the operation to move the tomb in February but did not wait for Syria's consent, therefore violating the treaty.
Describing the Buk launcher as one of the main scenarios, the team says it can provide witnesses with protection.
All 298 people on the flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur were killed.
A preliminary Dutch report said the plane broke up after being penetrated by "high-velocity objects".
However, the Dutch Safety Board did not specify the involvement of a Russian-made Buk launcher and its final report will not be released until October.
The Ukrainian government and the West have accused the Russian authorities of supplying the separatists with the Buk missile launcher, providing witness statements and photographs.
But the Kremlin has argued that Ukrainian forces were responsible for the Malaysia Airlines crash.
Dutch broadcaster RTL said this month it had new evidence from a metal fragment found at the crash site that the plane was hit by a surface-to-air missile, launched from a Russian-made Buk.
In the video, investigators involved in the criminal investigation show photographs and footage of the launcher being moved around areas of eastern Ukraine held by pro-Russian rebels, before and after the plane was brought down on 17 July, and the following day when the launcher is alleged to have crossed the border into Russia.
Three phone intercepts are also produced, including two that have not been made public until now.
Dutch prosecutors say the appeal for witnesses does not mean that the Buk missile launcher is seen as the definitive scenario, as it is too soon to draw conclusions.
In the first conversation, separatists are heard at 09:08 on 17 July, several hours before the disaster.
A man in Donetsk asks where the Buk should be taken. "It needs to be unloaded somewhere in order to hide it," he is heard saying.
In the second conversation, some five hours after the plane is brought down, a crew member from the Buk has apparently become lost and two separatists are discussing how he can be reunited with his colleagues.
A video is then produced appearing to show the launcher being transported on the back of a Volvo low-loader.
In the final conversation, at around 08:00 on 18 July, a phone intercept suggests the Buk launcher is already over the border in Russia and one of the speakers refers to a "mess" and a "disaster".

The Dundee Rep production was critically acclaimed when it was staged in the city a year ago.
The play was first performed by the 7:84 Theatre company and is an account of Scotland's history from the Highland Clearances to the present day.
Underlying profit before tax rose 6.1% to £661.2m for the year to 28 March, better than analysts' forecasts.
Its food business had an "outstanding year", M&S said, but sales of general merchandise - which includes clothing - were below expectations.
However, sales of womenswear rose in the final quarter.
Chief executive Marc Bolland told the BBC's Today Programme that the improved results came despite the most difficult retail market in 15 years.
He also said that the company was confident in the strength of its clothing range.
"We've never had more design capability," Mr Bolland said.
Profits are up at Marks and Spencer - but at a cost.
Capital expenditure on modernising shops and an online revamp has fallen to £526m for the year compared to £710m last year. But it still totals over £3bn in the last five years.
Compare that to £700m at Next over the same period.
M&S investors will be pleased that gross margins are improving, meaning that M&S is resorting to fewer money-off promotions to drive sales. Dividends are also up.
But there are still major question marks over the vital womenswear department. Yes, the final quarter of the year saw sales up, but online problems over Christmas and the third warmest autumn on record all weighed heavily on sales over the year, which were down.
The chief executive, Marc Bolland, knows that he has to show consistent growth in womenswear before he can pronounce "job done".
Like-for-like sales - which strip out changes in store space - of general merchandise fell 3.1% over the year.
M&S said it had suffered from the mild weather last autumn - the third warmest on record - which had hit sales of knitwear and coats.
However, it said sales had returned to growth in the January-to-March period. It also said profit margins had seen "strong improvement".
Food sales rose 0.6% on a like-for-like basis, and despite intense competition, M&S said it had outperformed the market.
Online sales were down 2% over the year, with M&S being hit by problems at its distribution centre over the key Christmas trading period. However, sales increased in the fourth quarter.
M&S said it was raising its dividend by 5.9% and also announced a £150m share buyback programme.
Analysts broadly welcomed the news.
Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers, said: "The increase in the dividend and the announcement of a share buyback programme are both supportive and indicative of future confidence in prospects, whilst the company also continues to bear down on costs."
Shares in Marks and Spencer were up 2p, or .34%, at 587.50p in afternoon trade.
The suspension comes in a week that two managers of the taxi-ordering app Uber were arrested for "illicit activity".
In June France's interior minister ordered a ban on UberPOP after a day of nationwide protests by taxi drivers.
Bernard Cazeneuve has said Uber's service is '"illegal". It has been banned in France since January.
Uber is unpopular with registered drivers in many cities because they tend to undercut prices, and there have been violent protests.
The firm said on Friday that it was suspending the service as a safety measure.
"We have decided to suspend UberPOP in France from 20.00 [19.00 BST] this Friday evening, primarily to assure the safety of Uber drivers," Thibaud Simphal, head of Uber France, told Le Monde.
Heather Cho, a vice-president of the airline and daughter of its chairman, had demanded the crew member be removed from a flight last Friday for failing to serve the nuts on a plate.
The Incheon-bound flight had to taxi back to the terminal in New York.
The airline has apologised, but said she had had the support of the pilot.
The flight eventually arrived in South Korea 11 minutes behind schedule.
Local media reports said that a junior attendant had offered Ms Cho macadamia nuts in a bag, instead of serving the nuts on a plate.
Ms Cho then questioned the chief flight attendant over in-flight service standards and ordered him off the plane.
The airline told Korea Times that checking quality of service was one of Ms Cho's jobs, as she was responsible for in-flight service for the carrier.
It also said the crew member had replied with "lies and excuses" when challenged over the correct nut-serving procedure.
But transport authorities are investigating whether Ms Cho's actions infringed aviation law.
"Even though she is senior vice-president at the company, she was a passenger at that time, so she had to behave and be treated as a passenger," a South Korea transport ministry official told reporters. | A scheme to prevent a community on the Somerset Levels from being cut off by flooding has been delayed.

The FA announced the proposed reforms after criticism over the way it is run.
They include more women being added to its board and 11 new members joining the FA Council to "better reflect" the diversity of English football.
However, Lord Ouseley, chairman of diversity campaign group Kick It Out, says the changes are "superficial".
A former chairperson of the Commission for Racial Equality and a current Institute of Race Relations council member, Lord Ouseley told BBC Radio 5 live: "It won't add any additional power and involvement in leadership roles for black and minority ethnic people.
"In fact, there's no representation for disabled people, LGBT communities - it's very superficial.
"While it will look good and it is to be welcomed as some change, it won't make any difference about where the power is, where the control is, and quite frankly it's a bit wishy washy."
In December, five former FA bosses asked the government to intervene and change an organisation they described as being held back by "elderly white men".
In February, MPs warned they could legislate to force the FA to reform if they had "no confidence" that the organisation would do so itself.
Sports Minister Tracey Crouch has said the FA could lose £30m-£40m of public funding if it does not modernise.
FA chairman Greg Clarke reiterated that he will quit if the plans for reform do not win government support.
"This is a transformational leap forward and if the government don't accept this, I'm not sure what else we can do," he told BBC Sport on Monday.
"If government don't want to accept it, who am I to argue but, of course, I will resign."
BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway asked Clarke why there were no plans for dedicated black, Asian and minority ethnic background representation on the proposed new 10-member board.
Clarke replied: "What I would like to see is a path to make sure that not only are we gender diverse but ethnically diverse. What I don't want this to be is empty words.
"I want to find a way to achieve it and be accountable. I just need a bit more time to get there.
"It's really important that the FA is representative to society. Throughout the business world, diverse boards make better decisions. I think that's true in football too."
The FA is effectively run by its own parliament, the FA Council, which has 122 members. Just eight are women and only four are from ethnic minorities. More than 90 of the 122 members are aged over 60.
The FA's proposed reforms seek to:
The reforms still have to be approved by the FA Council, which will debate and vote on the recommendations on Monday, 3 April.
If they receive majority approval they will be taken forward to a vote of the shareholders at the FA's annual meeting on 18 May. | Football Association plans to boost the diversity of its leadership are "wishy washy" and "won't make any difference", says a leading equality campaigner. | 39,188,003 | 639 | 37 | false |
Kyle Parish, 19, of Clifton in Nottinghamshire, pleaded guilty to rape at an earlier hearing at Nottingham Crown Court.
The victim's mother said the attack "totally destroyed" her daughter's childhood.
She said: "It totally devastated her. She has real low days and panic attacks."
She added: "She is not the confident child she was before this attack happened.
"She attempted to cut both wrists a few weeks after he was put on bail.
"It has totally destroyed our family life ... the littlest thing will take you back to that day.
"It is just soul destroying thinking how is she going to cope with this. That her first encounter was a violent rape."
The court was told the girl was with a group of friends who were camping out in a field.
When the pair were alone, Parrish, of Horwood Drive, grabbed her against her will, threw her to the ground and raped her.
Judge Stuart Rafferty said: "The devastation is not just for five minutes, five hours or five days - this will last a lifetime.
"He has taken away from her the one thing that matters to us all - that is the right to say 'yes' or 'no'."
Her mother said her daughter has had counselling but the past 18 months have been "a living hell".
Bob Ashford, a former Frome councillor, said a crime he committed as a teenager bars him from standing for the post.
The Labour Party received clarification of the ruling from the Home Office and the Electoral Commission.
Mr Ashford said he was "unhappy" with the circumstances and wanted to apologise to his supporters.
In a statement on his website, Mr Ashford said that in 1966, aged 13, he was convicted of trespassing and being in possession of an offensive weapon.
He was fined £2, 10 shillings for both offences.
The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 disqualifies a person from standing for election for a police and crime commissioner (PCC) if they have at any time been convicted of an offence for which a person could be sent to prison; whether or not they themselves were sent to prison for that offence.
Recalling the details of his offence, Mr Ashford said a group of boys from his school had persuaded him to go out with them and "I felt I had little choice".
He said: "We went to the railway embankment and I felt very uncomfortable about this.
"One of the lads pulled out an air gun and started shooting at cans. I never touched the air gun and felt unable to leave, as I was frightened at what might happen at school.
"A goods train passed and presumably the guard reported our presence to the police who arrived a short time later.
"The lads with the air gun ran away whilst I and two others froze and were arrested."
Mr Ashford said that to the best of his knowledge he was not questioned by police, but was told in court to plead guilty to both offences.
"I have just heard from a CRB check with my local police that no record of my case exists," he said.
But he added: "To sign the declaration, knowing that I had committed an offence, would in itself be a criminal act which of course I am not prepared to countenance."
Mr Ashford said that having worked with young offenders, he believed "that all young people have worth and the ability to reform and lead productive and valuable lives as I have done".
He said: "It is deeply and bitterly ironic that I now find myself in a position where my prospective career and my work to date is to be overshadowed by an event which occurred 46 years ago and a piece of legislation which completely undermines those basic human rights."
He said he had always declared this conviction throughout his career and during the PCC selection process.
Simon Duckworth, chairman of the transitional board of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners, said: "The government's rules on who can stand to be a police and crime commissioner tread a difficult line between ensuring the public can have full confidence in those who will police the police and the need to attract candidates of calibre to these demanding new roles.
"The public may feel that the automatic disqualification of candidates with a juvenile conviction, irrespective of the nature or date of the offence, is flawed; ultimately it prevents the public from making their own judgement about who's best to serve them as a PCC."
PCCs will be elected in 41 areas across England and Wales on 15 November.
Homes were evacuated in Lurgan after officers responded to a call reporting an unexploded device - but, as they searched, a bomb exploded.
Police believe the initial call was designed to lure officers to the area.
Supt David Moore said it "may well have been the case" that the bomb was detonated by people watching from a distance.
He said it would probably have been "much larger" than a pipe bomb and was "obviously designed to take out officers on foot".
"It's more than likely at this stage that this was an anti-personnel device," Supt Moore said.
"It bears all the hallmarks of violent dissident republican terrorists."
He said the area where the device exploded is "frequented by both younger children at play and older children sometimes guilty of creating something of a nuisance".
He said as a result it would be an area often patrolled by the police.
The security alert began following a call to a charity, during which the caller said a device had been fired at a police patrol but had failed to explode.
Officers found a suspicious object and evacuated families from homes in Victoria Street.
However, while police officers were searching the area a second device went off. The explosion happened between 16:00 and 17:00 BST.
Police said on Sunday that the devices they recovered "appeared to have been planted" and they did not believe any device was fired at them.
Police officers were also attacked with petrol bombs and bricks during the security alert.
Northern Ireland Justice Minister David Ford said whoever was behind the attack "had a clear intention to kill police officers".
"They showed absolutely no regard for local residents, who could have been killed or injured," he said.
Upper Bann MLA John O'Dowd, from Sinn Féin, also condemned those responsible, saying they had "brought nothing but disruption to the local community".
"Those behind this alert are not representative of the people of Lurgan and should stop these pointless actions immediately," he added.
As a result of the security alert, the rail line between Lisburn and Portadown was closed.
Families have now returned to their homes in Victoria Street following the alert.
SDLP MLA Dolores Kelly described the attack as "not only an evil attempt to kill the PSNI but a total disregard for the people of Lurgan".
DUP councillor Carla Lockhart said the devices "were designed to murder police officers who were trying to serve their community".
Ulster Unionist councillor Colin McCusker said he felt nothing but "despair" with regard to the incident.
He said a small minority appeared "intent on disrupting the lives of the vast majority of people, not just in Lurgan, but the whole of Northern Ireland".
Police Federation Northern Ireland chairman Mark Lindsay said it was only the professionalism of those responding to the call that had meant tragedy was averted.
"The bravery of these officers can only be contrasted with the cowardice of those plotting such atrocities," he said.
The suspect image, of a man wanted in connection with a robbery, was posted on Kent Police's Facebook page.
But the "extra sideburn" and apparent resemblance to the Stone Age quarry worker attracted howls of derision rather than witness statements.
The force declined to comment on the response.
It issued the image in connection with a robbery of a 75-year-old man in Cliftonville, Margate, on 26 September.
Over one hundred people have shared the image, with dozens adding their thoughts underneath.
Sarah Jane Unsworth described it as "the worst e-fit I've ever seen", while Joe Higson asked: "Did someone at police HQ get carried away with the black pen??"
Robbie Britton said: "By the looks of this you're looking for a guy with a wife called Wilma and a pet dinosaur."
While Jim Pooley warned: "You see the suspect, yabba dabba, don't approach him."
The attack happened at around 10:30 BST in an alleyway between Dalby Square and Athelstan Road, close to a car park.
In its appeal for information, Kent Police said the victim was intially approached by one assailant before two more joined them.
He managed to fight the three offenders off and they ran away, police said.
WaterAid says it "has not received any money" from a dinner the Stoke City striker hosted in Mayfair in May 2015.
The Charity Commission is "deciding if there are regulatory issues to assess".
The new agent of ex-West Brom striker Berahino declined to comment. However, BBC Sport understands the dealings with WaterAid were arranged by the 23-year-old's previous representatives.
"WaterAid was approached by the Saido Berahino Foundation in February 2015 regarding a dinner to raise funds for the foundation," a statement from the charity read.
"The event was not managed or paid for by WaterAid, and attendance was by invitation only.
"It was WaterAid's understanding that we would receive a donation. WaterAid has not, to date, received any money from the Saido Berahino Foundation."
The Saido Berahino Foundation is not itself a registered charity.
Instead it operates in partnership with a charity called the Philanthropy Foundation, which also provides services for Bournemouth striker Benik Afobe and ex-Newcastle forward Lomana LuaLua.
WaterAid said it had not been in touch with Berahino's representatives since March 2016.
At this stage, the Charity Commission is not conducting a formal investigation.
The body, which would tackle the allegations made by WaterAid, said: "We can confirm that the Saido Berahino Foundation is not registered with the Charity Commission.
"We are also aware that the charity WaterAid has confirmed that they have not received any money from the foundation.
"We will now be getting in touch with the foundation to decide whether there are regulatory issues we need to assess."
In December, a Charity Commission investigation into a charity run by ex-Chelsea striker Didier Drogba found "no evidence of fraud or corruption" but said it may have "misled" donors.
Three incidents have happened near to the Hillhead Halls of Residence between September and November.
The man is described as white, aged between 17 and 20, about 5ft 8in tall, with short light brown or blond hair.
He was wearing dark sportswear including a hooded top and jogging bottoms.
Det Con Kirsty Munro said: "I would like to reassure the community that officers are taking these reports very seriously.
"Although none of the females involved were hurt or injured in any way, they were left feeling understandably concerned and uncomfortable.
"Uniformed officers have been giving particular attention to the area and I would urge people using the park to be on their guard."
She added: "These type of incidents are extremely rare in the area - and the city generally - however by no means should that make anyone complacent.
"I would urge anyone who recognises the description of this male or the e-fit image to make contact with the police."
Having lost the first leg 1-0, Stanley levelled the tie through Josh Windass' penalty after Scott Brown was fouled.
Piero Mingoia's screamer then put the hosts ahead, before Adebayo Akinfenwa's header took the game into extra time.
And Taylor slotted in to make it 2-2 on the night and send the Dons through to the final against Plymouth on 30 May.
Taylor's 104th-minute finish came after Jake Reeves had been denied by goalkeeper Ross Etheridge and provided a dramatic conclusion to a topsy-turvy contest, which was even temporarily halted during extra time because of floodlight failure.
It was also cruel on Accrington, who were denied automatic promotion on the final day of the league season on goal difference and looked to be heading to Wembley after Mingoia's superb 30-yard strike put them 2-1 ahead on aggregate.
The Dons, appearing in the Football League play-offs for the first time since the phoenix club's formation in 2002, now also face their first competitive trip to the national stadium since Wimbledon's famous FA Cup win over Liverpool in 1988.
Manager Neal Ardley, who made over 300 appearances for the old Wimbledon FC, will lead them out at Wembley as the ninth-longest serving manager in the top four tiers of English football.
The 43-year-old guided the Dons to six victories from their eight final league fixtures to secure a seventh-placed finish in the table - and they are now just 90 minutes away from reaching the third tier for the first time.

The soldier told the Al-Sweady Public Inquiry he "categorically denied" hitting or physically threatening any of the nine detainees he interrogated.
The inquiry is investigating claims detainees were mistreated and killed at a British base after a battle.
The Ministry of Defence denies the allegations.
The soldier, who can only be identified as M004, told the inquiry that he did use a 1ft-long (30cm) pointed metal tent peg to bang on a table top and would shout and scream at detainees as part of his "tactical questioning" technique in Iraq.
The witness said he did not see this as excessive, although he was now aware from other public inquiries that it was unlikely that using a tent peg in this way would be "viewed as permissible".
The inquiry has heard claims from several Iraqi detainees that M004 had a pistol with him and fired two shots into the ground while they were being questioned in a tent at the British army camp.
There were also allegations by a detainee that the interrogator beat him with a metal pipe.
But M004 said there was "no feasible way" that a shot could be fired in the tent without someone hearing it and it being reported.
It was likely the tent peg was on a table and a detainee could see that, but it was never used to strike a detainee, he said.
He agreed the use of the tent peg fell within the category of a "harsh" approach and he that he was trying to scare the detainees by making a sudden loud noise while the prisoner was blindfolded.
Banging the tent peg on the table behind the prisoner made a "horrendous racket" and would have been heard outside the interrogation tent and probably in the prisoner cell block, he said.
Some of the prisoners had physically jumped when he did it, he said. He agreed that the tent peg could be seen as a weapon.
He was not taught to use the tent peg in this way on a course he attended, M004 said, but he did not see it as outside his remit as a tactical questioner.
But he told counsel for the inquiry: "I believe nowadays that there is very little you could physically do without ending up sat in an inquiry".
The witness told the inquiry that when the Iraqi detainees arrived for questioning he would first walk behind them and blow on the back of their neck - a tactic he had been taught on a course.
Blowing on the detainee's neck allowed the interrogator to get inside the prisoner's personal space so that he could feel the questioner's presence, something which was "remarkably effective" he said.
M004 agreed that there was a pattern in his questioning of walking behind the detainee, blowing on the back of their neck, banging the tent peg down on the table and then screaming and shouting over their left shoulder and into their ear.
He had not been taught to consider that shouting at a man close up or striking a table with a tent peg so as to induce fear was violence.
The witness agreed that anything that fell short of physical contact or violence which made the prisoner feel uncomfortable was acceptable.
M004 said he would never threaten a prisoner with any form of beating or assault, but he might have told a detainee he would never see their family again.
"And they would probably have believed you?"asked counsel. "Yes sir, "said M004.
Set up in 2010, the inquiry is named after one of the Iraqi men, 19-year-old Hamid al-Sweady, who is alleged to have been unlawfully killed while being held after the so-called Battle of Danny Boy.
Lawyers acting for several Iraqi clients claim some were taken alive following the battle and mistreated or unlawfully killed at the nearby Camp Abu Naj (CAN) base.
The inquiry continues.
Manchester United's £59.7m signing of Angel Di Maria was one of six club transfer records broken since the end of last season.
What were the other big deals? With the help of financial analysts Deloitte, BBC Sport takes you through the transfer window in numbers.
Di Maria, 26, cost a British record £59.7m from Real Madrid, while Radamel Falcao, 28, joined in a £6m loan deal from Monaco - with the club having the option to sign him for £43.5m next summer.
Louis van Gaal, named as manager this summer, has rebuilt a squad that finished seventh last season under David Moyes, their first campaign since Alex Ferguson retired as manager.
The Dutchman has already spent more than any English club in a transfer window - Manchester United's previous record outlay had been in the summer of 2007 when they parted with £62m.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Their transfer extravaganza beats that of Manchester City's reported £148m in 2009 and Chelsea's £111m in 2003 - which followed billionaire owner Roman Abramovich's arrival.
Rob Wilson, a football finance expert at Sheffield Hallam University, told BBC Sport: "United don't really want to be out of the Champions League for another year - they can cope with a year out - it's no big deal - but a second or even a third outside of that competition will hit them very hard.
"Their new shirt sponsorship deal is effectively performance-related - obviously attracting players in the future if they remain out of that competition will become more difficult.
"United certainly won't be spending the same amount next year if they don't qualify for the Champions League this season. At a rough estimate, they are losing £80-100m by not being in the Champions League - £40m in prize money, £10m in terms of matchday ticket sales and matchday sponsors, and so on."
The record amount of money spent by the 20 Premier League sides this summer. This comes after the clubs pocketed their first season of vastly increased TV money. Last year was the start of a three-year domestic TV deal with Sky and BT worth £3.018bn, a 70% increase on the old deal.
In fact, the previous record of £630m - set last summer - was broken this year on 14 August - before a ball had been kicked.
Dan Jones, partner at Deloitte's Sport Business Group, believes the 2014 World Cup in Brazil also helped to swell the figures.
He said: "There are a number of factors contributing to this summer's spend, including the showcase for global talent a World Cup provides.
"However, one of the main drivers of Premier League spending continues to be the increased resources clubs now have as a result of improved broadcast deals."
Football agent Rachel Anderson said: "Is the spending reckless? It depends how you look at it. If you compare the spending to normal people in normal life then, yes, it is reckless.
"But if you compare it to blockbuster movies or a singer from a TV reality show who can't sing very well, then it is worth it.
"It is worth it for the entertainment they produce."
Liverpool joined Manchester United in spending more than £100m, thanks in part to their £75m sale of Luis Suarez to Barcelona in the third biggest transfer ever.
Their outlays totalled £117m, with almost £50m going to Southampton for Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Rickie Lambert.
Chelsea did their business early, paying £91.3m in total on deals including Diego Costa and Filipe Luis from Atletico Madrid and Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
Arsenal followed up last year's dramatic £42.4m signing of Mesut Ozil by spending £82m in the window, with two big-name strikers coming in - Barcelona's Alexis Sanchez for £35m and Manchester United's Danny Welbeck for £16m.
Manchester City bought £50m worth of players and Southampton about £58m (although they received £92m for sales). Newcastle and Hull - also the busiest team on deadline day with four signings - spent more than £30m each.
The four Premier League clubs in this season's Champions League had a combined transfer spend of £342m - over 40% of the total Premier League outlay. Add in Manchester United's 18% and that is almost 60% by a quarter of the teams in the English top flight.
Six of the 20 Premier League clubs made their record signings this summer - Manchester United, Everton, Hull, Leicester, West Brom and Crystal Palace.
Dan Jones, partner at Deloitte's Sport Business Group, said: "Last season the average Premier League club received around £25m more in central broadcast distributions than they did in 2012-13, which helped fuel a record transfer window last summer.
"We are again seeing Premier League clubs use these resources to contribute to what is a new record this summer."
Almost two thirds of the money spent by Premier League clubs this season has gone to foreign teams, with £305m staying in England. The figure of 63% is considerably lower than last year, however, when 78% of the total spend went abroad.
Luis Suarez joined Barcelona from Liverpool for £75m, but English teams were busy buying some of the best that Spanish football has to offer.
BBC World Service's Steve Crossman said: "It's the second season in a row that the single most expensive deal in the summer transfer window has seen a player leave the Premier League for La Liga.
"At least it's a two-way street. The top three clubs in Spain all lost a major player to the Premier League over the summer. Angel Di Maria was the most expensive import, with Diego Costa and Alexis Sanchez also arriving.
"And the emphasis on recruitment from abroad is not reserved to the Premier League and La Liga either. Many of the big signings in Italy, France and Germany have not come from their own leagues, with the likes of Ciro Immobile swapping Serie A for the Bundesliga, Alvaro Morata heading to Italy from Spain and Xabi Alonso arriving in Germany from Real Madrid."
The top spending league in Europe outside the Premier League spent just over half the amount of the 20 English sides, with La Liga leading the way for the continent with a total outlay of £425m.
Next was Italy's Serie A with £260m, followed by the German Bundesliga with £250m and France's Ligue 1 - with Paris St-Germain and Monaco cutting back with Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules in mind - spending £100m.
BBC World Service's Steve Crossman said: "The Premier League swept all before it and only Spain could even come close. Both Ligue 1 and Serie A held back this year. In France, PSG and Monaco spent 75% less money than this time last year.

"In La Liga the top three spenders in Spain were ahead of the Premier League's three most adventurous clubs in summer transfer window spending until Falcao's transfer to Manchester United took the Premier League elite back above them.
"The likes of Mario Mandzukic, James Rodriguez and Luis Suarez have all arrived with massive price tags.
"Likewise, in Germany the vast majority of it was forked out by a small number of teams. In this case, two.
"Some £81m of the total bill came from the efforts of Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. Add in the £20m outlay from Hamburg and you've got nearly half of the activity coming from only three of the clubs."
From next season, spending could again rise. A new Champions League television deal comes in worth £897m over three years, worth more than double the current arrangement.
But it is not just the top teams in the Premier League who will have spending power.
Stats published by Sporting Intelligence show that last season's bottom side in the Premier League, Cardiff City, earned £62m in Premier League prize and TV money - more than the previous season's champions Manchester United pocketed.
The top four sides last season all earned between £90m and £100m. There are still two years left of this lucrative deal.
Rob Wilson, football finance expert at Sheffield Hallam University, does not believe spending will continue to increase.
He said: "Over the last three or four years there has been an acceleration in the amount of money spent in each transfer window.
"There is a lot of talk about whether we'll reach £1bn worth of spending in the next one. I think that is probably bit of a stretch, the reason being Uefa's Financial Fair Play and the impact that will undoubtedly have on the top six or eight teams.
"The truth is that if you removed Manchester United's spending then in this transfer window you would be looking at something we'd consider normal - well, normal in the most liberal sense of word because I don't think spending £600m can be considered normal."
The Community union says the fracking industry will need significant volumes of steel, which will help to protect jobs in the sector.
It has signed an agreement with the body that represents the UK onshore oil and gas industry to promote domestic production and protect jobs.
Community, which has around 30,000 members, is one of the few trade unions backing fracking.
The UK's third biggest union, the GMB union, also intends to organise in the sector.
But a number of other main unions, including PCS and UCU, are opposed to the industry on environmental grounds.
"The future development of home-grown oil and gas has the potential to support thousands of jobs through its supply chain, including in the steel industry," says Roy Rickhuss, the general secretary of Community.
The fracking industry will need to drill hundreds, perhaps thousands of wells, to produce significant volumes of gas. That represents a huge opportunity for the struggling steel industry, which will want to supply the steel casings used in oil and gas wells.
Plans for fracking have been approved in two locations in the north of England, potentially creating up to 64,500 jobs, according to a recent industry report.
But while the Community union is affiliated to Labour, its endorsement of fracking is at odds with Labour Party policy.
At the party's conference in September, the shadow energy secretary Barry Gardiner said Labour would ban fracking outright if elected.
The GMB union described the policy as "madness", saying it would leave the UK reliant on "henchman, hangmen and headchoppers" for imported gas.
Cardiff University and its partners got £165,000 via a competition co-sponsored by America's National Football League to develop an anti-concussion material.
Dr Peter Theobald said it could be used in rugby but it may change the game.
World Rugby said it "welcomes any commitment to research and development in the area of player welfare".
"So long as we are upfront about the caveats, certainly potential [to introduce anti-concussion headgear] seems to exist within rugby," said Dr Theobald, a senior lecturer in biomechanical engineering who leads the Cardiff University team.
"However, we need to be aware of the consequence that an introduction of new protective equipment has [had in other sports] - that is that it can change behaviour to reflect this new level or perceived invincibility or certainly increased level of perceived protection.
"Given the increased concussion rate within the sport, however, it would be remiss of us to not consider whether our technology can provide greater player protection."
The university's School of Engineering has been working with its partners to develop an energy-absorbing material known as C3, which was created in collaboration with the University of Cambridge.
It was one of five teams that won initial funding as part of an NFL initiative to tackle concussion in American football. They are waiting to hear if they have won the $500,000 (£400,000) first prize, which also comes with the commercial expertise of the multi-national sponsors.
In 2016, the US supreme court upheld a $1bn (£700m) settlement between the NFL and retired players who had suffered brain damage as a result of concussions.
Rugby has also made moves to reduce the risks, with "reckless" tackles with head contact outlawed in December after earlier alterations to the way concussion is managed.
However, concussion in rugby continues to hit the headlines.
The 2017 Six Nations, which comes to a close this weekend, has seen a series of head injuries and suspected concussions and in January, World Rugby criticised Northampton Saints' treatment of Wales winger George North after he sustained a head injury - the latest in a series of similar blows.
And the Head Injury Assessment (HIA) process in rugby has been strongly criticised and defended, with high-profile figures on either side.
Rugby laws currently allow players to wear only scrumcaps, which protect against cuts and some blood injuries but not concussion.
Wales centre Jonathan Davies has previously said he does not believe headguards would prevent concussion after international referee Nigel Owens argued the option should be explored.
Dr Theobald said: "We need to make sure that we, as academics, contribute ideas in terms of technology but it's down to the higher powers within the sport to appreciate whether this represents a good opportunity or not."
Ex-Ireland full-back Dr Barry O'Driscoll - cousin to the famed Irish centre Brian O'Driscoll - resigned from his medical adviser role at World Rugby in 2012 over the sport's handling of concussion.
He said that, while the researchers might have "something new" which may protect against fractures and abrasions, it was "hard to see" how any headgear could entirely protect against the causes of concussion.
"The reason being that concussion is not caused by the blow to the head at that particular point. It's caused by the deceleration, acceleration and rotation of the brain - the 'sponge in the bucket effect'," he said.
And he agreed that headgear can increase the sense of invulnerability among some players, with previous World Rugby studies having shown this to be the case.
"What they found was that probably headgear gives people a false sense of security and they probably went in that little bit harder because they felt protected," Dr O'Driscoll said.
World Rugby said it annually commissions and funds research projects in line with its "objective of continual evidence-based advances".
A spokesman said headgear in rugby had "never been presented as a means to reduce the risk of concussion, as the evidence does not yet conclusively say that a headgear can achieve that objective, without the use of hard materials".
"We are currently focused on the area of prevention via education and on-field management and the recent law application guideline regarding the tackle was introduced after an unprecedented analysis of 600 head injuries from more than 1,500 elite matches," he added.
The plane crashed in Holme Fen in Cambridgeshire in November 1940, killing Pilot Officer Harold Penketh.
Historic England said involving forces veterans in the dig made it "an exemplar for future such endeavours".
Veteran Gary Phillips, 57, who suffers from PTSD, said it was "like therapy" because he helped a fellow soldier.
A team from Oxford Archaeology East worked with veterans and service personnel to excavate the Spitfire in October, during which some of the pilot's remains were discovered.
Mr Phillips, who is from Liverpool, said: "It's like a fellow soldier and we're going to help him - he served his country and died doing it and I lost friends doing the same."
He served with the King's Regiment during the 1970s and 1980s, including tours of Northern Ireland.
Two years ago he approached the veterans' mental health charity Combat Stress for help with post-traumatic stress disorder, and said "in our day, PTSD wasn't accepted".
The former rifleman was told about Operation Nightingale, which is a military-run Defence Archaeology Group project using archaeology to aid the recovery of service personnel and veterans injured in conflict.
He said: "It's like therapy - sometimes I can't go out of the house and that has lost me jobs, but this is bringing me out of my shell."
Diarmaid Walshe co-founded Nightingale after he identified "a growing need for some form of occupational therapy and recovery" for injured personnel.
The Royal Medical Corps sergeant said: "Military personnel are very good at digging holes, at working in adverse conditions, as part of a team and to tight deadlines.
"Plus the more physical skills are relevant to archaeology too - spotting colour changes in the soil, writing proper reports and observing small details."
Archaeologist Stephen Macaulay said the "specific skills" of the military were "incredibly useful" on the dig.
The senior project manager added: "They saw him as 'one of us' and we had never worked on a dig with that sort of personal connection."
Sgt Walshe said: "We hope that it brings comfort to Pilot Officer Hesketh's family that his death has brought some benefit to another human being."

Petrie Court, on Cromwell Road in Lower Kersal, will be given a £2m refurbishment to create a computer suite, gym and accommodation.
The plan is that it will provide people aged 16 to 25 with a place to live while they work or complete training.
Lee Sugden, chief executive at Salix Homes, said the project is "fantastic news for the young".
He said it would "provide much-needed opportunities for those who desperately want to work and make something with their lives, but are struggling to hold down a job or go to college because of their unsuitable or unstable living arrangements".
Petrie Court previously provided supported accommodation to young homeless people, but closed down in 2014 as part of Salford Council's funding cuts.
The project has received £1m funding from the Homes and Communities Agency, which will be matched by Salix Homes.
It is hoped the facility will be open by summer.
Brett Hart, the airline's general counsel, will take over from Oscar Munoz immediately.
Mr Munoz suffered a heart attack shortly after taking up the role.
The world's second-largest airline is due to report third-quarter results on Thursday, with strong profits expected by analysts.
The chairman, Henry Meyer, said: "Brett has taken on increasing responsibility beyond general counsel over the last few years in the operations and customer-facing areas of the company."
Mr Hart, 46, joined United five years ago from Sara Lee and was previously was a law firm partner and a lawyer for the US Treasury.
The airline did not say how long Mr Munoz would be on medical leave, saying it was "too soon to know the course of treatment and timing of recovery".
The lack of information given about Mr Munoz's condition has attracted criticism.
Vicki Bryan, an analyst for bond research firm Gimme Credit, said that United's statement last week about the chief executive's health was surprisingly sparse and raised more concerns than it answered.
She said that United needed to be more open, "particularly in light of United's substantial management upheaval in recent months".
Mr Munoz took over at United only last month after Jeff Smisek was forced out for allegedly making deals with public officials in New York and New Jersey.
It has been accused of maintaining unprofitable flights that were popular with politicians in return for favourable government subsidies and better airport transit deals.
Mr Munoz had been appointed chief executive in a bid to clean up the company and deal with a litany of staff and customer complaints.
The company had also struggled under Mr Smisek to merge the operations of the former United and Continental airlines after the two airlines merged in 2010.
United Continental shares have fallen 15% this year and closed on Monday at $56.75, valuing the company at just over $21bn (£13.5bn).
About 1,200 German tourists are expected to make their way ashore from the AIDAvita.
Cromarty Firth Port Authority believes it will be a record year for cruise liner business.
Invergordon's projections are based on 91 scheduled calls by cruise liners and more than 142,000 passengers.
It would represent a 45% increase in trade compared to last year.
It is estimated the influx could bring in £14m for the local economy.
Inevitably, many will be disappointed if they do not get the grades they need.
But for some the frustration may be made worse by the way the system for allocating "spare" university places now operates.
Many "clearing" places at Scottish universities are now only available to students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The annual problem is the result of the abolition of tuition fees in Scotland.
Although the number of young Scots starting university is at a near record level, there is a strict cap on the number of Scottish and EU students at each institution. But universities have more flexibility over how many fee-paying students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland to admit.
The "clearing" system allocates places at universities which have not been filled after the exam results are released.
Scottish applicants will be able to search for clearing vacancies on the university admissions service UCAS's website from 18:00 on Monday night and can start making choices from Tuesday morning. UCAS said applicants need to call universities and colleges beforehand to discuss courses that interest them, and to ensure places are available.
Mary Curnock Cook, chief executive of UCAS, said: "If you achieve the results you need for your chosen course, then you'll see your place has been confirmed when you log in. If you haven't been accepted at your firm or insurance choice, then please don't worry as there are a number of options available, including clearing.
"Clearing is open to anyone who is without a place on results day, for whatever reason. Once you identify a course that has places, think about why the course interests you and how your qualifications and experience match up.
"Be as well-informed as possible before you make that call to admissions staff and don't be afraid to ask questions. It's important that you feel happy with where you'll spend the next few years, and it's vital that you feel a real connection with the course content."
But the chances are there will be relatively few clearing vacancies for Scots on the courses which are hardest to get on to.
A Glasgow University spokesperson said: "We will go into clearing for a small number of vacancies in five specialised courses, mainly in our Dumfries Campus, and these positions will primarily be available to Scottish students.
"Until A-Level results are published we will not be in a position to say for sure whether we will go into rUK clearing [clearing for the rest of the UK] but in the event that we do it will be for a small number of places on a limited number of programmes."
Strathclyde University said it did not normally have places available to Scottish and EU undergraduate students through clearing but some places may still be available to students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland and from outside the EU.
Universities say they understand the frustration felt by some students and their families but insist Scottish students are not losing out to those from other parts of the UK.
They insist the comparison of Scottish students with those from other parts of the UK is now rather like comparing apples and pears.
Scottish students do not pay tuition fees. Each university reaches a deal with the Scottish Funding Council on just how many "free" places should be available. The limit is rigid and once it is full, it is full.
These places are primarily for Scots, but because of European law they are also available to students from other EU countries.
Students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland are charged tuition fees of up to £9,000 a year. Universities can decide for themselves just how many they want to take, which allows for more flexibility.
The universities insist they are not simply using these students as "cash cows" and are not admitting students with poorer qualifications than Scots they have turned down.
The Scottish government provides free university places for Scottish residents and EU students from outside the UK - but does not pay for students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland, a spokesperson explained.
"These places are not open to students resident in other parts of the UK or outside the EU. This means student places allocated to Scottish residents can never be taken by students resident in the rest of the UK.
"This year UCAS figures showed a record high in the number of Scottish domiciled students applying to our universities, with a rise of two per cent on last year and a 50 per cent increase in applications from 18 year-olds living in the most deprived areas of Scotland since 2006."
Details of the clearing places available to students from other parts of the UK will be known next week when the A-Level results are announced.
Inevitably, some Scots who did not get the place they wanted will feel frustrated.
But ultimately it is hard to see any way of ending the distinction unless at some point in the future tuition fees are abolished in the rest of the UK or re-introduced in Scotland.
Skills Development Scotland has a free exam results helpline which can offer advice to candidates whose exam results were poorer - or better - than expected.
The helpline will be open from 08:00 until 20:00 on 4 and 5 August, and from 09:00 until 17:00 daily until 12 August. The number to call is 0808 100 8000.
Ofcom is examining the £11.7bn bid for the UK broadcaster.
Dr Wendy Walsh's legal team says the deal would allow Fox to bring a "culture of sexual and racial harassment" to the UK.
The company said it has addressed the allegations and made fundamental changes.
The British media regulator, Ofcom, is examining whether it is in the public interest for the Murdoch-owned company to take full ownership of Sky, of which it already owns 39%.
A previous bid from the Murdochs to buy Sky was blocked after a scandal over phone hacking at Murdoch-owned newspapers.
Amol Rajan: Is Rupert Murdoch worried?
Watch: 'Nothing's happening at Fox News'
The Murdoch-owned firm 21st Century Fox said its management "has taken prompt and decisive action to address reports of sexual harassment and workplace issues at Fox News.
Three of Fox News' most senior male staff have recently left the company following accusations of sexual harassment and mismanagement.
"These actions have led to an overhaul of Fox News Channel's leadership, management and reporting structure, and have driven fundamental changes to the channel's on-air talent and primetime programming line-up."
But Dr Walsh - who was a guest on The O'Reilly Factor - and her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, who represents four women who say they were sexually harassed or discriminated against at 21st Century Fox, argue that Fox should not be allowed to succeed in its bid for Sky.
Ms Bloom said "there is an epidemic of sexual harassment and retaliation" at the firm.
"It's phone hacking part two" she said.
When approached in New York by the BBC, Rupert Murdoch said he was not concerned about events at Fox.
"There's nothing going on at Fox News," he said.
"Fox News is getting record ratings... so I'm not worried at all".
Former Fox news anchor Bill O'Reilly and the network's chief executive Roger Ailes have both left the company, following allegations of sexual and racial harassment, which they deny.
The company's co-president, Bill Shine, has also left. He is not accused of harassment.
Ofcom is examining the proposed takeover of Sky by 21st Century Fox in the light of media plurality and broadcasting standards.
Part of Ofcom's investigation will include whether Sky's potential new owners are "fit and proper".
European competition authorities have already waved the deal through.
Both Sky and Fox are controlled by businessman Rupert Murdoch, who also owns the Times and the Sun newspapers.
The proposals outline adding a third training pitch to the Premier League club's facilities in Kings Park.
Chairman Jeff Mostyn said the club has had to make several changes to comply with Premier League requirements.
However, it has already said it will not expand the capacity of its Goldsands Stadium for the Cherries' first season in the top flight.
As part of the plans, the pavilion will house changing rooms, a players' lounge and treatment rooms.
Proposals also include fencing to provide greater privacy for Eddie Howe's squad during training sessions, the club said.
Mr Mostyn said the club felt the proposals were "sympathetic to local residents and members of the public alike".
"There are several changes the club has had to make to ensure we comply with a number of Premier League requirements, in addition to ensuring the team has a facility worthy of a club that is totally committed to being competitive at the highest level,'' he added.
The exhibition was held held in the Champions Restaurant at Goldsands Stadium from 16:00 to 19:00 BST.
With a capacity of 11,700, Goldsands Stadium will be the smallest in the Premier League.
Vice-President Joe Biden briefed Senate Democrats behind closed doors after Republicans and the White House agreed a plan.
The Senate is expected to vote in the early hours of Tuesday morning, with the House to consider a bill later.
Tuesday is a public holiday in the US, so no immediate effects will be felt.
Analysts say if the effects of the fiscal cliff are allowed to take hold, they could spark a new US recession.
But if a bill passes both the Senate and the House over the new year holiday, the impact is likely to be minimal.
By Mark MardellNorth America editor
The bad news is that America is going to go over the fiscal cliff. The good news is that it probably won't hit the bottom - and no one will feel the impact.
We expect a deal to be done on Monday night and the Senate to vote on it. But the House has already gone home and will not say yea or nay to an agreement. That's why America will go over the cliff, at least technically.
But New Year's Day is a public holiday. Markets are closed around the world. The US government is also shut. Likewise, tax rises won't be felt until people get their January pay cheques.
If it is clear that the politicians are going to do a deal pretty soon, then no one will panic. At the moment, a deal seems to be close enough to touch. If it moves out of reach, then the ground will rush up to meet us soon enough.
After a long day of negotiation on Capitol Hill, signs of a deal emerged hours after the House of Representatives was dismissed for the night.
Earlier, President Barack Obama said a deal to avoid the steep tax rises and spending cuts was "within sight".
Tax cuts passed during the presidency of George W Bush formally expired at midnight (05:00 GMT).
But the proposed eventual deal appeared to extend tax cuts for Americans earning under $400,000 (£246,000) - up from the $250,000 level Democrats had originally sought.
A huge spending cut known as the sequester - that would see $1.2tn cut from the federal budget over 10 years - would be deferred for two months, reports said, allowing Congress and the White House to reopen negotiations on a wider deal.
Earlier, Mr Obama said he would had preferred to resolve the fiscal cliff through a "grand bargain" that dealt with both long-term spending and tax issues.
"But with this Congress, that was obviously a little too much to hope for at this time," he said at the White House.
What if the US goes over the cliff?
Will the fiscal cliff affect you?
Q&A: The US fiscal cliff
Why is it called a 'fiscal cliff'?
Amid some Republican disquiet over the president's barbed remarks, the party's Senate leader Mitch McConnell quickly calmed proceedings in the afternoon.
He backed the president's assessment and said a deal should be done quickly.
"Let's pass the tax relief portion now," said Mr McConnell, who spent Sunday evening and Monday negotiating with Vice-President Joe Biden.
"Let's take what's been agreed to and get moving. We'll continue to work on finding smarter ways to cut spending."
As well as the income tax rates and spending cuts, the deal under discussion includes:
• Tax rates to rise on estate inheritances from 35% to 40% after the first $5m for an individual and $10m for a couple
• Capital gains taxes - affecting certain income from investments - would rise from 15% to 20%, but less than the 39.6% it would rise under after 1 January.
• Unemployment benefits would be extended for year, affecting an estimated two million people
• Extending tax credits that help poorer and middle-class families for five years
Any deal needs to pass the 100-member Senate, which is controlled by Democrats, before heading to the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold the majority.
But no votes have yet been scheduled in either chamber.
Also on Monday, the US Treasury said the federal government had hit its self-imposed borrowing limit, the debt ceiling
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner sent a letter to lawmakers informing them that some pension and health benefits would be suspended in order to free up borrowing authority until the end of February.
Mr Obama had asked for an extension of debt ceiling as part of the fiscal cliff negotiations, and correspondents say the issue is the next hurdle between Congress and the president.
Seren Bernard, 14, was found dead in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, in April 2012.
John Keith Mumberson, her drug worker, told the Milford Haven hearing on Tuesday she appeared to be looking to the future during their last meeting.
But he said she could act impulsively and could be blasé about her own safety.
Mr Mumberson had worked with Seren to address her drug and alcohol use, and would meet her for hourly sessions at her school.
On Monday, the inquest had heard a mental health assessment which highlighted Seren had suicidal thoughts was not shared with her social worker.
But Mr Mumberson told the hearing Seren had never indicated any suicidal feelings to him.
He said Seren's foster parents were providing a "secure and positive" environment and he thought things were improving for the teenager.
"My overriding memory is that she was starting to look forward," he said.
"She was in a safe environment and we could move on from there. That's what I remember of our last meeting."
The inquest continues.
The 20-year-old from Banbridge was victorious in the final sprint to win on 18 points from France's Morgan Kneisky on 14 points.
Downey won silver in the 120-lap event at the European Under-23 Championships earlier this year.
"I really wanted this. I was going so hard. You reap the rewards when you really want something," he said.
He said the move would mean 360,000 firms offering on-the-job training.
The Business Secretary said companies would be offered exemptions from National Insurance and apprenticeship grants as extra incentives.
The other main parties have already made pledges to create more apprenticeships for young people.
Labour says it would guarantee apprenticeships for every school leaver in England who "gets the grades" by 2020, while the Conservatives have promised three million new apprentices under a Tory government.
David Cameron said earlier this month the coalition government had created 2.2 million apprenticeships since 2010.

Mr Cable said: "The world is changing at an accelerated rate and we need to equip our young people with the skills they need for the future, to ensure they can compete in a global marketplace, in ever- changing technologies and the digital economy.
"That is why the Liberal Democrats will double the number of employers providing apprenticeships over the next five years and create more apprenticeship starts per year than Germany.
"To achieve these objectives requires significant investment in skills by both government and the private sector. As we grow our economy, the Liberal Democrats believe we must enhance adult skills training and our further education colleges."
The bank, the US's second largest, said net income of $2.3bn (£1.34bn) was down from $3.4bn (£1.99bn) a year earlier.
Its finances have been hit recently by huge payments to the authorities to fend off accusations of wrong-doing.
In the past year, its earnings per share have fallen from 32 cents (19p) to 19 cents (11p).
In April the bank agreed to pay $9.5bn for misleading US mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac before the financial crisis in 2008.
It then agreed separately to pay $783m (£470m) in fines and refunds, for mis-selling payment and identity theft insurance to nearly three million credit card customers.
The bank's chief financial officer Bruce Thompson acknowledged the rise in litigation costs and praised the bank for doing "a good job managing expenses".
He also said that during the quarter the bank's credit losses remained "near historical lows."
The bank's results come as analysts have noted a split in the US lenders' quarterly results between banks that cater mainly to U.S customers and those with a more prominent global presence.
Domestic-orientated banks have been helped by a pick-up in the U.S economy.

Punchy politics on social media
Early results gave former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a moderate conservative, and Mr Rouhani the most votes for the assembly, which is composed of mostly elder and senior clerics.
This stunning election result will make a difference in Iran's engagement with the wider world.
President Rouhani's hand has been strengthened in parliament to help open his country to greater trade and investment. That will help him, and others in his reformist camp, to deepen the dialogue with the West, which began with negotiations on a landmark nuclear deal.
But much of this opening will continue to be with Europe, rather than the US. Iran's relationship with America is still complex and controversial.
Iran's ambitions in the region are also deeply rooted - it has strategic interests in countries like Syria, Iraq and Lebanon as well as Afghanistan, and a strong sense of its right to remain engaged. These are areas where Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards and its conservative Supreme leader hold sway.
But Iran wants to be regarded as an equal partner, able to sit at the world's top tables to work on common threats like the so-called Islamic State. President Rouhani's team may now feel empowered to engage a bit more, more often.
What is the Assembly of Experts?
The parliamentary result in Tehran is significant because lawmakers from the capital usually determine the political direction of the house, analysts say.
However, reformists look to have done less well in constituencies outside the capital.
Mr Rouhani said on Saturday that the election gave the government more credibility and clout.
"The competition is over. It's time to open a new chapter in Iran's economic development based on domestic abilities and international opportunities," the official Irna news agency quoted him as saying.
"The people showed their power once again and gave more credibility and strength to their elected government."
Voting was extended three times on Friday as crowds reportedly flocked to polling stations. Turnout was more than 60%.
Reformists, who want better relations with the outside world and more freedoms at home, were hoping to gain influence in the conservative-dominated bodies.
But of 12,000 people who registered as candidates, only half were allowed to stand, including just 200 moderates.
This was the first election to be held since last year's deal between Iran and world powers over the country's nuclear programme and the lifting of sanctions.
BBC Persian's Ali Hamedani says the economy was a key issue in the process.
With sanctions lifted and Western investors beginning to return to Iran, there are high hopes for an improvement in daily life, he says.
Reformists and moderates say they are targeting greater foreign investment which, our correspondent says, will create jobs for young people.
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said a "furious" parent had contacted a Tory MSP over the plea.
She said it was evidence that Nicola Sturgeon "can't sort out issues in our local schools".
The first minister said the school wanted to identify "properly-registered" teachers.
The letter sent out to parents read: "Any parents with a maths or related degree who would be interested in supporting pupils, please contact myself or depute head Mrs Hill.
"This is a highly unusual request. However, I am sure you will appreciate, given the current circumstances, we are looking at creative short-term measures."
Days after the request was made, Blairgowrie High School confirmed that maths teachers from other schools in Perth and Kinross would be providing temporary cover and that a new maths teacher would start in August.
In the Holyrood chamber on Thursday, Ms Davidson accused Ms Sturgeon of "putting her job to one side" and "threatening to take Scotland back to another divisive referendum on independence".
Ms Davidson asked: "When the first minister meets parents who are frustrated in the decline in standards in schools, how does she explain to them another referendum will help their child?"
Ms Sturgeon replied that her education secretary John Swinney had said "many times" that there were "challenges right now" with teacher recruitment in different parts of the country in specific subjects.
She said: "That's why we have increased the intake of students to initial teacher training, it's why we have expanded the range of routes into teaching to make the process faster for these individuals.
"The situation at Blairgowrie High School is seeking to identify teachers that are properly registered to come in and teach maths there.
"And of course the law says that teachers have to be properly registered.
"We will continue to address the challenges in our education system."
The pre-match build-up was dominated by Leeds' refusal to allow Sky TV cameras into the ground, but they relented after the threat of a disrepute charge.
Derby took the lead when Jeff Hendrick dribbled through two defenders and finished, before Sol Bamba levelled.
Chris Wood's header put Leeds ahead in the second half but substitute Tom Ince secured a point for the Rams.
Derby are second in the table, a point behind leaders Middlesbrough.
Leeds "reluctantly" allowed Sky to broadcast the match, confirming their decision about four hours before kick-off.
They had initially barred cameras from entering Elland Road, as club owner Massimo Cellino was unhappy at the number of their fixtures moved for live coverage.

The Italian claimed moving games was affecting attendances - this was the Whites' ninth league match to be shown live on television so far this season - but the broadcaster was eventually allowed in.
Hendrick gave Paul Clement's side the perfect start with his silky run and cool finish, but Leeds captain Bamba got the equaliser after Derby keeper Lee Grant spilled a free-kick and then pushed Stuart Dallas' chip into the defender's path.
New Zealand striker Wood nodded home Sam Byram's superb right-wing cross to give Leeds the lead but Ince scored within three minutes of coming on for the visitors.
The winger latched onto Johnny Russell's first time-flick to drill home, before the hosts' keeper Marco Silvestri palmed away Bradley Johnson's header to secure a draw.
Leeds head coach Steve Evans:
"It was always going to be a big ask.
"We felt from a footballing perspective, from a sporting integrity point of view, we felt disadvantaged that a team as good as Derby could have an extra day's recovery.
"When you go in front in the 71st minute, I think that's when you need the oxygen mask in a normal week.
"So when you've played 48 hours before, it makes it a double oxygen mask and that was probably why Derby got a point."
Derby head coach Paul Clement:
"Three changes, I wouldn't say that was particularly significant. But then you have the value of those players to make an impact.
"It's been a busy period, we've played six games and we have another very big game on Saturday at Middlesbrough, so you take those things into consideration.
"We pushed first of all to get back in the game with the equaliser and then we were pushing for all three and the sense from the players is that the game was there for the taking.
"We certainly didn't have things all our own way, but I thought we did enough to get more than just a point."

The 23-year-old has not been seen since a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on 24 September.
Defence Minister Mike Penning said "every available military kit, personnel and surveillance equipment" was on offer to police.
"They have requested it on several occasions," he said.
Mr Mckeague, from Dunfermline in Fife, was last seen walking alone in Bury St Edmunds at about 03:25 BST.
He walked into a dead-end area known as the "horseshoe" and was not seen again.
The mystery of missing Corrie Mckeague
Dan Jarvis, Labour MP for Barnsley Central, raised Mr Mckeague's disappearance during questions in Parliament to the Defence Secretary Michael Fallon and his ministerial team.
Mr Penning replied: "I think the whole house would want to pledge their thoughts with Corrie's family and his love ones and the servicemen alongside him, for the RAF regiment which I had the honour of meeting at RAF Honington just after he went missing."
"We all want him to come home safely. I am sure the MOD will do everything we possibly can."
Mr Mckeague's family have raised £50,000 to pay for an intelligence services company to get involved in the search.
His uncle, Tony Wringe, said McKenzie Intelligence Services had uncovered details which challenged "previously-held assumptions" about his nephew's disappearance.
"We now have new areas where we realise we do or do not know something relevant," he said on Facebook.
The team established the serviceman did meet up with RAF friends in Bury St Edmunds on the night he disappeared and went into bars with them, and went into Flex nightclub with at least one of his friends.
Telephone data has also been found to be "not entirely accurate", Mr Wringe said, and a "collection" plan - gathering further raw information and items of forensic interest - has now been formed.
"This is what I can share, there is more I cannot," he wrote on the Find Corrie Facebook page.
But the report found helmets meeting the newest safety standards would not have saved his life.
Hughes, 25, was stuck by a bouncer during a domestic match at the Sydney Cricket Ground in November 2014.
The review, commissioned by Cricket Australia, also highlights a need for 'concussion substitutes'.
Hughes was struck on the neck and died in hospital two days later.
The governing body of the sport in Australia asked barrister David Curtain to lead the review into the incident.
He recommends that batsmen, wicketkeepers and close fielders in first-class cricket should wear protective helmets that meet stringent British safety standards in matches and in training.
But he said such helmets would not have saved Hughes' life.
"I do not believe the new helmet would have afforded additional protection against the blow given the location of where Phillip was struck, as the protection to the neck, at the rear, is no different," he said.
He also called for more evaluation into the effectiveness of clip-on neck guards in preventing a similar incident.
The review also looked into the medical care given to Hughes before an ambulance arrived some 20 minutes after the incident. It concluded "the attention received by Phillip after being struck had no role whatsoever on his subsequent demise, due to the nature and severity of his injury".
Curtain said it was beyond his remit to call for substitutes to be allowed to bat and bowl when a player has to leave the field due to concussion - under current rules, replacements are not allowed to do this.
But he added it was a "concern" that some players might not want to leave the field and leave their team short and said it was an area for Cricket Australia to explore.
Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said a number of recommendations in the review had already been implemented.
He added the body was already "exploring the possibility of allowing a 'concussion substitute' during domestic matches" and that the International Cricket Council would look at the issue at its next meeting on 31 May.
A coronial inquest in Hughes's death will take place in October.
Hartlepool funeral director Gerald Martin, 66, is accused of sexually abusing five teenage boys over a 20 year period from the 1970s.
Mr Martin, of Valley Close, denies all the charges.
Teesside Crown Court heard the alleged abuse came to light in 2013 when a man told a nurse he had been assaulted.
He had visited the University Hospital of North Tees' accident and emergency department suffering from suicidal thoughts.
Prosecutors said that, after reports of Mr Martin's first appearance at court, four other people came forward to say they had also been abused by him.
Some would give evidence that they had been sexually abused in public toilets, the court was told.
One man told police he was about 12 or 13 years old when, walking home after playing with friends, he stopped at some public toilets.
There he was allegedly grabbed by Mr Martin and dragged into a car, taken to the funeral parlour and sexually assaulted, he said.
Another man said the accused had winked at him at a family funeral, years after he abused him.
Mr Martin was described as being well known in Hartlepool, with a high profile position.
The court heard he had told police he was gay but that his wife did not know.
The trial continues.
Depay, a £25m signing from PSV in 2015, has played just 20 minutes for United in the Premier League this season.
But the 22-year-old came off the bench in Luxembourg to score with a header and free-kick to secure victory.
Arjen Robben had given the Dutch the lead only for Maxime Chanot to level with a penalty before the break.
Joshua Brenet was deemed to have clipped Daniel da Mota, which gave the defender an opportunity to score from the spot, but it was not enough for a Luxembourg side who have now gone nine matches without a win.
The introduction of Depay after the break swung the match in the visitors' favour, moving the Netherlands on to seven points, three behind leaders France, and above third-placed Sweden on goal difference.

The Tibetan spiritual leader, 81, met Naren Chandra Das, 79, as he paid a visit to northeast India.
"Looking at your face, I now realise I must be very old too," he said.
He first met the guard in 1959 after a gruelling two-week trek across the mountains from Lhasa, after a failed Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule.
Disguised as a soldier, the Dalai Lama made his way with a small entourage to the border, having received assurances of Indian help.
Mr Das, a retired member of the Assam Rifles, said: "Guards of the Assam Rifles Platoon No 9 had brought the Dalai Lama from Zuthangbo and handed him over to five of us at Shakti [in Arunachal Pradesh, which borders China and Bhutan].
"We brought him to Lungla from where he was escorted on his onward journey to Tawang by another group of guards," he said.
Troops had not been allowed to talk to the Tibetan spiritual leader. "Our duty was only to guard and escort him during his journey," he said.
The Dalai Lama thanked the former soldier, saying he was "very, very happy" to meet part of the team that escorted him to safety inside India.
After his escape, he stayed briefly at the Tawang monastery, before settling in Dharamsala, in the north of the country, which is now home to the Tibetan government-in-exile.
Later this week he will visit the monastery to deliver teachings.
His visit has angered China, which maintains that Arunachal Pradesh is part of its territory.
Ahead of the visit, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman urged India to "avoid taking any actions that would further complicate the border issue, [and to] not provide a platform for the 14th Dalai clique's separatist activities".
The Dalai Lama, meanwhile, said on Saturday that returning to the northeast of India felt "like a reunion".
"When I revisit the Tawang area, I am reminded of the freedom that I had experienced for the first time [in 1959]. That was the beginning of a new chapter in my life," the Associated Press news agency quoted him as saying.
Sharp took his goal tally to 23 for the season to give United a commanding seven-point advantage over Fleetwood and Scunthorpe.
The defeat for Bolton leaves them in fourth and without an away win since late November.
The home side created more chances in the game and skipper David Wheater was called into action early on when he headed Jake Wright's volley off the line.
Shortly after, though, his defensive partner Mark Beevers let John Fleck's through ball to Sharp go under his foot and the striker slotted past goalkeeper Mark Howard.
Second-half substitute Samir Carruthers combined well down the right-hand side with Kieron Freeman to break into the area, before Beevers brought down Carruthers in the area as he turned inside.
Sharp slotted home the penalty as the Blades earned their first win over the Trotters since 2008.

The BBC's head of football Mark Cole says the "soap opera" surrounding their struggles and the behaviour of manager Jose Mourinho has been tough to resist.
The Blues have made five appearances in the top slot - and have lost them all.
Louis van Gaal's Manchester United have been first just once.
The Dutchman's side have been accused of being boring and they have featured in the sixth slot - which was the last match on two occasions - four times.
Chelsea have lost seven out of 12 in the league this season, with manager Mourinho under constant pressure.
Cole said: "When the champions are losing, it is always a story. Throw in a bit of Jose Mourinho and it means they are quite often in the mix around the top of the running order.
"We also look at the publicity side, in terms of what is going to be on the back pages of the newspapers, because that basically is what people want to see.
"It dominates so many of the back pages and it is something there is real interest in - what is going to happen next in the soap opera that is Jose Mourinho?"
West Ham - whose victories against Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea earned them the prime position on the main Saturday night highlights show on three occasions - are the only other top-flight club who have been shown first more than twice.
Elsewhere, Everton, Stoke, Tottenham and West Brom share being on last the most times.
Each club has closed the show on three occasions, while Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Leicester, Crystal Palace and Sunderland have never been on last.
Of the 12 show-closing games to date, seven have ended goalless with an average of 0.66 goals per game, far short of the 4.33 goals per game averaged in the opening game.
"He has this ability to stand his ground on important issues but still make you feel he's heard and understood your point of view," reflects Ninette Kelley who now heads the New York office of the UN's Refugee Agency, UNHCR.
Other staff are equally complimentary.
"His background - from heading the Socialist International to leading a Nato nation like Portugal - meant he was welcome everywhere including Moscow, Beijing, and Washington," recounts Melissa Fleming, a key adviser on Mr Guterres' transition team, when we meet on the day he is unanimously approved by the UN's General Assembly.
She pays tribute to him on her Facebook page, describing the energy in the hall on that day as "high and hopeful".

Antonio Guterres: I will serve most vulnerable
"We are facing a very difficult moment in our history," Mr Guterres told me just after his thunderous welcome in the General Assembly last week. "It's dangerous for everybody."
And then his plea to the world's powerful players before he takes charge on 1 January: "I call on everyone with influence to put aside their different interests and understand their shared interest is in ending the Syrian conflict and all the conflicts linked to it."
But behind his clarion call, there's an experienced operator who knows the score.
A year ago, I ran into Mr Guterres as he walked alone in the winding corridors of the UN's headquarters after what had been billed as a major meeting to tackle the global refugee crisis.
"How did it go?" I asked.
The expression on the face of the UN's refugees chief said it all.
"There's just talk, no plan," he replied, shaking his head, visibly angry and clearly exhausted.
His is a face the world recognises: For his tough language on refugees and the world's responsibilities; the warm smile of a respected humanitarian actor, the persistence of someone who now calls himself a bridge builder.
Last Thursday, he stood for nearly two hours in the mother of all receiving lines - the UN's 193 countries all wanted their first handshake with the man of the moment.
Ambassadors will soon be calling on him to press long-standing demands for UN reform and accountability in peacekeeping - just two of the issues on Mr Guterres' agenda.
He will need to be a champion of the UN's sustainable development goals, the barometer of progress in improving people's lives - including his own goal to promote opportunities for women and girls.
There are gains to build on too. On Ban Ki-moon's watch, there's been the historic Paris pact on climate change and progress since then.
But if climate change is seen as Mr Ban's signature issue, there's already talk that his successor's defining issue will be trying to end major conflicts of our time.
Mr Guterres speaks of a "surge in diplomacy for peace" and acknowledges that his first and biggest challenge will be Syria.
The agony of Aleppo now symbolises Syria's tragic fate. It also exemplifies the world's failure to stop its shocking spiral into destruction and despair.
"The UN has demonstrated a spectacular inability to protect civilians from attack," regrets Jan Egeland, the head of the Norwegian Refugee Council and a senior UN adviser.
"With his experience, Antonio Guterres can change that," he tells me optimistically. "War crimes must be documented and impunity must end."
But there's scepticism too. "I fear we may have an efficient politician, not a leader," remarks a senior Western official.
"But Kofi Annan became a different man so one must hope," he adds, referring to the former UN secretary general who's still a leading voice on many global issues.
Mr Guterres inherits the world's top diplomatic job at a time when the tools to shape a better world have never been so sharp: an International Criminal Court; a wide array of human rights defenders; unprecedented information flows, including satellite imagery, to document what happens on the ground.
But what many see as possible war crimes in the attacks in east Aleppo, the Syrian government and its Russian and Iranian allies see as an urgent and legitimate assault on groups linked to al-Qaeda and the so-called Islamic State.
America's John Kerry and Russia's Sergei Lavrov have negotiated for months on how to bridge that divide, and still have not succeeded. It is still not clear what bridge Mr Guterres can build.
The UN's frustrated Syria envoys, from Kofi Annan to Lakhdar Brahimi and Staffan de Mistura, have all cited gridlock in the Security Council, the UN's most powerful political body, as a major part of their failure to bring peace.
Only days after a rare show of unity to support Mr Guterres' nomination, the council was again a political battleground with two rival resolutions to end Syria's war.
Russia's Vitaly Churkin called it one of the "strangest spectacles". Britain's ambassador Matthew Rycroft described Moscow's veto, its fifth in as many years, as a "sham".
"If civilian casualties are caused by Russian bombing, we express incredible regret," Ambassador Churkin tells me in an interview in New York.
But he insists questions have to be asked whether hospitals which come under repeated attack are being used for military purposes, and he dismisses calls from Western capitals for war crimes investigations, suggesting they should start by looking into their own.
For years, Mr Guterres' mantra was "there is no humanitarian solution for a political crisis - there must be a political solution".
The new secretary general knows the enormity of his task.
He will start by doing what he has said to be good at: Listening. But he knows his success or failure ultimately rests on the many countries who all tell him he is the right man for this toughest of jobs.
Nigel Graham, 55, of Southbourne, Bournemouth, admitted misuse of a blue badge and fraud by false representation at Southampton Magistrates' Court.
The osteopath was then filmed leaving court to find he had been given a parking ticket from Southampton City Council for parking in a disabled bay.
Graham is to be sentenced on 26 June.
He admitted to magistrates one count of misusing a blue badge and five counts of fraud by false representation.
His solicitor said his client admitted he should not have been using his mother's badge, who died in 2002, but claimed he was carrying disabled people in his car at the time.
Graham was initially caught using the badge in King's Road car park in Southampton in July last year and appealed.
After this it emerged he had been using his mother's and late father-in-law's badges in Bournemouth and Christchurch.
The fraud by false representation charges relate to sending the council incorrect information when claiming he had been using the blue badge legitimately.
It is believed the ticket outside the court was issued because the blue badge Graham was using was not displayed in the right place. It is not known if the badge on display was his dead mother's.

Murray and Peers saved a match point to beat Americans Steve Johnson and Sam Querrey 6-4 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (9-7).
It is the second successive Grand Slam final for Murray and Peers after their run at Wimbledon in July.
They will play French duo Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut, who beat Inglot and Robert Lindstedt 7-5 6-2.
"My nerves are shot but we're so happy to win and get to the final," said Murray.
"We played a very high level match and the other guys were serving really well but we managed to turn it around."
Murray and Peers took the opening set but the Americans, who failed to take any of their first four break points, won the second set 7-2 on a tie-break.
Eighth seeds Murray and Peers moved 5-3 ahead in the deciding set and were serving for the match only to be immediately broken back by the Americans.
The third set went to a tie-break, Murray and Peers saving a match point before advancing into the final.
Earlier on Thursday, Inglot failed to make the final, although it was still his best run at a Grand Slam after two quarter-final defeats in the Australian Open.
Inglot and Sweden's Lindstedt were playing in only their fourth tournament together, having won the US Open warm-up event in New Haven, but could not build on an early break and struggled on serve as Herbert and Mahut took control.
Two breaks of serve gave the French duo the first set in 47 minutes, and they moved 3-1 clear in the second on the way to matching their run to the Australian Open final in January.
"Credit to them, they were just better on the day," Inglot said. "It wasn't my best day, I thought I let us down a bit so I'm a bit disappointed with that."
Parts of the city of Baquba - just 60km (37 miles) from Baghdad - were briefly taken over by the rebels.
Reports say 44 prisoners were killed during fighting at a police station in the city.
The US is deploying up to 275 military personnel to protect staff at its huge embassy in the capital.
The prime minister of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region, Nechirvan Barzani, has told the BBC he believes Iraq may not stay together as Sunni areas feel neglected by the Shia-dominated Iraqi government.
He said it would be very hard for Iraq to return to the situation that existed before the Sunni militants, spearheaded by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), took control of the northern cities of Mosul and Tikrit in a rapid advance last week, and Tal Afar on Monday.
In other developments:
Government sources say Baquba - capital of Diyala province on the northern approaches to Baghdad - saw Sunni rebels take control of several districts on the western outskirts of the city before these were regained by government troops and allied Shia militia.
The 44 prisoners died in an overnight assault by the rebels on a police station in the city, security officials report.
Accounts of who was responsible differ, with Prime Minister Nouri Maliki's security spokesman saying the prisoners were killed by the attacking insurgents, and other officials reporting that they were killed by security forces while attempting to escape.

Many Sunnis, particularly the conservative ones who started turning against al-Qaeda eight years ago, and enabled the US forces to leave Iraq with what seemed at the time to be dignity, are not at all happy that ISIS should control their towns and villages.
But the danger of the present fight-back by Shia volunteers is that they will victimise ordinary Sunnis, and make them feel that ISIS is the only group that can protect them.
In other words, this has the potential to turn into a clear-cut religious war, with the possibility of mass "cleansing" of civilians and brutality on a large scale.
At Tal Afar, a strategic city west of Mosul in the province of Nineveh, there are reports that reinforcements have arrived to boost government forces trying to recapture the town from rebels. The Iraqi air force is said to have been carrying out strikes in the area.
The city of 200,000 people, which has a mixed Sunni and Shia population, lies between Mosul and the Syrian border and was taken just before dawn on Monday.
In Anbar province to the west of Baghdad, Sunni militants shot down a government helicopter near the city of Falluja, and say they destroyed several tanks in fighting there. They also say army forces fled from a military base near Ramadi, the provincial capital.
Qasem Suleimani, the commander of an elite unit of Iran's revolutionary guards, is reported to be in Baghdad, helping military leaders and Shia militias co-ordinate their campaign against the rebels.
In Vienna, US officials held brief discussions about Iraq with their Iranian counterparts at a meeting about Tehran's nuclear programme, but American officials have been quick to dismiss reports of military collaboration with a major foe.
In a letter to Congress, US President Barack Obama said the 275 military personnel being sent to Iraq would protect US citizens and the embassy in Baghdad, and would remain there until the security situation improved.
President Obama has already ruled out sending in ground troops to fight alongside Iraqi government forces, but drone strikes remain a possibility.

Sources in Baquba have told the BBC that people there are frightened and some have started leaving after the Islamist militants took control of several districts.
Baquba is filled with soldiers and a large number of Shia militiamen who are reported to have pushed the gunmen out.
The jihadists from ISIS already control several towns in the area and now are targeting Baquba - the provincial capital and the last city or town before Baghdad, which lies just an hour's drive away along a major highway.
The situation along the frontlines north of the capital had been quite static for several days, but the militants and their allies amongst the Sunni community are on the move again.
The United Nations says that ISIS fighters have carried out hundreds of summary executions since their offensive began last week, and Sunni militants have posted photos online appearing to show fighters massacring captured Iraqi soldiers.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was deeply disturbed by the reports of probable war crimes, "terrorist attacks" and other atrocities.
He told reporters in Geneva there was "a real risk of further sectarian violence on a massive scale in Iraq and beyond its borders", and called on the government of Prime Minister Maliki to take a more inclusive approach.
Iraq 'massacre' photos: What we know
A British Retail Consortium report says rising costs due to the National Living Wage and the new apprenticeship levy could speed up job cuts.
The pair are two of George Osborne's flagship policies announced in last year's Budget.
The study says "economically fragile" parts of the UK will be hit hardest.
The National Living Wage and apprenticeship levy "both have sound intentions but both could fail on implementation", it says.
Sir Charlie Mayfield, chairman of the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and head of the John Lewis Partnership, said that although retailers supported the introduction of higher pay, there would be an effect on employment.
The retail sector employs three million people - a number that could fall by nearly a third in less than a decade.
Sir Charlie said that many shops would also close, as increasing costs and changes in the way millions of consumers shop take hold.
Of the 270,000 shops in the UK today, up to 74,000 could shut, the BRC report claims.
Nearly 30% of those closures could be in Wales and the north of England.
"People are not realising just how significantly the workplace is changing and I think that is dangerous," he said.
"It means that people assume that somehow things are going to carry on as they are, when that's unlikely.
"Some of the places that will be affected will be some of the most economically fragile."
The BRC report says that the effects of the National Living Wage on employment "have been under-estimated".
In April, the National Living Wage will come into force at a rate of £7.20 an hour for the over-25s, replacing the present minimum wage of £6.70 per hour.
George Osborne announced in the post-election Budget last year that it would then increase to £9 an hour by 2020.
The BRC estimates a cost to the industry of up to £3bn per annum.
"With the introduction of the National Living Wage, labour costs are now set to rise," the BRC report says.
Supermarket critics say that the sector has relied for too long on low wages, with the BRC report revealing that the percentage of people on low pay (defined as 1.2 times the minimum wage) in the retail sector has nearly doubled since 1990 to over 60%.
For all employees it has stayed stable at under 20%.
Sir Charlie told the BBC that although the number of jobs would fall dramatically, the jobs that are left would be more productive and pay would be higher.
Services to customers were also likely to improve and prices fall.
"I do very much believe that persistent low pay needs to be tackled, which is why we're talking about 'fewer but better' jobs," he said.
"What the National Living Wage does is that it increases the pace at which wages will rise - and by the way that's not a bad thing, it's in many ways a very good thing - but it will also probably accelerate some of the changes within the workforce and the responses that retailers make in order to mitigate some of the rising cost pressure that they're seeing."
Although not calling for a full review, Sir Charlie said that impact of the National Living Wage on employment would have to be looked at "carefully and objectively to see how things are working out".
The BRC report says retailers are facing a heavy tax burden and that business rates have yet to be reformed.
Sir Charlie said there needed to be a fundamental review of retail taxes.
Stores such as John Lewis pay far higher levels of tax in the UK than companies like Amazon, although Sir Charlie was careful to avoid what his colleague, Andy Street, the chief executive of John Lewis, described as the "Amazon tax problem".
The Treasury played down fears of substantial retail job losses.
"The government is making sure workers in Britain get a pay rise by introducing the National Living Wage from April this year," a spokesman said.
"We are already seeing record employment rates and more people in employment than ever before.
"And taking into account the National Living Wage, the independent Office of Budget Responsibility expects employment to rise by a further 1.1 million by 2020."
The Welshman was praised for the support he gave team leader Froome when he won his second Le Tour in 2015.
Thomas, 29, finished a career-best 15th overall but had been fourth until the 19th stage, where his efforts finally took their toll.
"Last year I was there purely to help Froomey," Thomas told BBC Wales Sport.
"I wasn't thinking about my own GC [general classification position] at all, and whatever needed to be done I would just do it straight away with no question.
"This year I'll certainly be able to think, right I can't do too much too early, I'll need to save it and think of myself as well really.
"Obviously that depends on the guys behind me doing their job too, but me being better at the end will be better for Chris too, so it works all round."
Thomas and fellow Welshman Luke Rowe are part of Team Sky's line-up for Australia's Tour Down Under, which starts on 19 January.
Cardiff-born Thomas says the six-stage race based around Adelaide is a warm-up for bigger ambitions to come in 2016, which will include the Tour de France and the Rio Olympics.
He cut short his 2015 season by a few weeks and had a slightly longer off-season than in previous years following his wedding to long-term girlfriend Sara in October.
"My last race was the Vuelta [Tour of Spain] in mid-September. I certainly had a nice break but I'm really itching and raring to go, get a number back on my jersey and get racing," Thomas added.
"I'm pretty relaxed about it. I haven't got too many expectations at the moment. I've got a big March and April block of racing where I want to go well, and then obviously in July for the Tour.
"Being a bit more relaxed into it as well is nice. I can just really race hard and enjoy it, there's not too much pressure to perform."
The 29-year-old Irishman was the subject of three failed bids from Cardiff City during the January transfer window.
"I was more than happy to sign again and I have appreciated every minute that I have been here," said Hayes, who moved to Pittodrie in 2012.
"I am still enjoying it as well, working under the manager."
Dublin-born Hayes has added 12 months to his previous deal and boss Derek McInnes will hope others follow his lead.
Niall McGinn, Ryan Jack, Ash Taylor, Andy Considine and Peter Pawlett are all due to be out of contract at the end of this season.
"When I signed the last extension, I think it was three years ago, I always said that as long as he [McInnes] was here I would be happy to stay and I think that is the same with a lot of the boys," added Hayes.
The winger spent three seasons at Inverness Caley Thistle before joining the Dons and has scored six goals in this campaign.
The technology allows a convoy of lorries to travel just a few feet from each other, with just the driver at the front in control.
The initiative would cut fuel consumption, backers said.
However, the plan has been criticised by motoring groups which said such a fleet would be "intimidating" to other road users.
The Sunday Times reported that UK ministers had visited Sweden to see the technology in action, and that tests would be carried out next year.
However in a statement, the Department for Transport said: "No decision has been reached on a trial using this new technology.
"However, road safety remains of paramount importance and will not be compromised."
The technology still requires a driver to be in each vehicle in the event of an emergency, but for the most part drivers will be able to relax - the proposal suggested reading a book or having lunch.
The convoy will be controlled by the driver in the front, with each lorry communicating via wi-fi. Infrared cameras and laser sensors are also used to monitor vehicle movements.
Paul Watters, head of road policy for breakdown rescue service the AA, said the idea may concern normal road users.
"For the car user in particular it does pose worries about platooning lorries taking up a lot of space and blocking others out," he told the BBC, but added that perhaps a dedicated lane may solve that issue.
He questioned whether the notion that drivers could take up another activity while in the autonomous convoy was misjudged.
"They're suggesting that an autonomous lorry driver can do other logistics work while they're driving," he said.
"The thought of a lorry driver doing administration is, dare I say it, pie in the sky."
The plans follow the announcement that driverless cars will be tested in the UK next year. The news was met with some trepidation - 65% of people polled by the AA said they would prefer to continue driving as normal rather than allow a computer to take the wheel.
But the organisation noted that younger drivers appeared to be more open to the technology.

Spieth is the second youngest player to reach the landmark at 23 years and six months, a month later than 14-time major winner Tiger Woods.
The two-time major winner carded a two-under-par 70 to finish on 19-under, with American Kelly Kraft in second after he shot 67 in the final round.
World number one Jason Day of Australia shot a 67 to finish fourth on 12-under.
The Masters, the first major of the year, takes place in Augusta from 6-9 April.
Victory in California means Spieth is the only player in PGA Tour history to win by three strokes or more, five times before the age of 24.
The Texan, who had led since the halfway stage, hit two birdies in his bogey-free final round, including one from 30ft on the par three 17th.
He managed to play the final 28 holes of the tournament without a bogey.
"I could afford to make a couple of mistakes today if I needed to but fortunately I didn't and managed to stay ahead," said Spieth, who won his first tournament since the Australian Open last November.
"It was just kind of a dream round when you are leading by a bunch. I finally got one [a birdy] to go in at 17."
"I kept saying, 'I don't like playing boring golf,'" he added. "But that's what was needed today and that's how we closed it out."
American and world number four Dustin Johnson was third on 14-under.
Spain's Jon Rahm, who won his maiden PGA Tour title at the the Farmers Insurance Open in January, was fifth on 12-under.
Luke Donald was the highest placed Briton, tied for 23rd on six-under, with Olympic champion Justin Rose two shots back.
The Bluebirds have been without a manager since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stepped down on Thursday.
Slade, who held talks with Orient owner Francesco Becchetti regarding his own position last week, said he was "proud" to be linked with Cardiff on Saturday.
The 53-year-old has been in charge at Brisbane Road since 2010.
"On Friday morning, we were contacted by a lawyer close to Cardiff City and Russell Slade, who asked us to give the permission for Cardiff to talk to Russell," said a Leyton Orient club statement.
"On Friday evening, Russell asked the club for the authorisation to talk to Cardiff. On Saturday the general manager of Cardiff approached us in order to ask us the permission to talk to Russell.
"In all cases, we denied Cardiff the permission to talk to Russell and did not authorise Russell to talk to Cardiff."
Slade led the O's to third place in League One last season but saw his side beaten on penalties by Rotherham in the play-off final.
The former Yeovil and Brighton manager has since come under pressure from Becchetti following a slow start to the new campaign, with Orient currently 17th in the table.
Cardiff, who drew 2-2 at Derby on Saturday, are 16th in the Championship.
Veteran Cardiff defender Danny Gabbidon and former Bluebirds team-mate Scott Young took charge of the match at the iPro Stadium, with the duo likely to remain in charge for Tuesday's League Cup fixture at Bournemouth.
Steven Greenwell, 42, flew in to Aberdeen Airport on Tuesday but has not made contact with friends or family since.
Mr Greenwell, who is originally from Scotland but now lives in France, is 5ft 8in, of slim build and has short, fair hair.
Police said he was likely to be dressed in walking clothes.
Sgt Garry Garrow said: "I would appeal to anyone with information regarding Steven's whereabouts, or who may have seen Steven recently to please get in touch.
"Although it is believed that Steven is a competent and experienced hillwalker, the lack of contact from him is concerning for his friends and family. I would also ask Steven to contact someone to let them know that he is ok."
Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama and Kevin Chappell all carded opening rounds of 66 at East Lake as McIlroy recovered from three-putting the first.
Johnson will secure the $10m (£7.7m) prize money on offer in the FedEx Cup if he wins in Atlanta, with a top-five finish likely to be enough.
McIlroy must win to have any chance.
Johnson - the US Open winner - birdied three of the first six holes and then the last after a 359-yard drive to move into a three-way tie for the lead.
McIlroy, who needs to win with Johnson finishing tied second or worse, bogeyed the first and then hit sixes at both the seventh and eighth holes during a rollercoaster round.
But seven birdies in total, including four in a row from 12 to 15, put him back into contention.
"It would be OK for the Ryder Cup next week I think, playing like this," McIlroy said on Sky Sports.
"I said to JP [Fitzgerald, his caddie] out there, I am mixing a lot of bad with a lot of good so if I can eradicate the mistakes, seven birdies around this golf course is pretty good and as you can see, once I get a couple of birdies I get some confidence and momentum."
Jordan Spieth, who won the FedEx Cup last year, also hit 68 to tie with McIlroy on two under par.

The think tank uncovered an "inequality of opportunity" for children taking National 4 and 5s, which replaced the old standard grade exams in 2014.
Freedom of information requests found that some pupils were permitted to sit eight exams in S4, while others were limited to five.
The Scottish government said councils made their own decisions.
A spokesman said this ensured that they best met the needs of their pupils.
Reform Scotland said it was "ironic and disappointing" that Curriculum for Excellence reforms, brought in to broaden pupils' education, were in fact narrowing it and placing some young people at a disadvantage.
Keir Bloomer, a member of the Reform Scotland advisory board and chairman of the Commission on School Reform, said: "Our research shows that inequality of opportunity is now built into our examination system, not by the SQA but by decisions made mainly at council level.
"This is an unintended consequence of the way Curriculum for Excellence is being interpreted."
The research found while some local authorities imposed a blanket decision on the maximum number of exams across the council area, others allowed individual schools to decide.
Mr Bloomer, a former director of education at Clackmannanshire Council, said: "Decisions to reduce the number of subjects a student may sit seem to have been based on a crude calculation of the number of hours of study available in S4.
"However, this is effectively saying that nothing studied in earlier years counts towards the knowledge of the subject required for the exams."
He added: "This is not an issue of the preferences or ability of the student. Instead, it is a lottery based on the school a young person attends.
"The result is that a very able student at one school could emerge with fewer qualifications than a similarly-able student at a different school."
Scottish Conservative young people spokeswoman Liz Smith accused the SNP of "turning a blind eye" to inequalities in the exam system.
"It is not just national 4 and 5s that are suffering but highers and advanced highers too," she said.
"This has major implications for college and university entrance and so it is little wonder that so many parents are concerned about what is happening."
Scottish Labour's opportunity spokesman Iain Gray said: "Our exam system is heading for a crisis. Teachers are poised to take strike action over assessments, the SQA has struggled to recruit markers, the appeals system is unfair to state schools, and the evidence of built-in inequality is growing.
"Young people's futures are being compromised while SNP ministers and the first minister herself stick their fingers in their ears and refuse to listen."
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "Individual education authorities and schools make decisions about the curriculum and the number of qualifications pupils can sit to ensure they best meet the needs of their pupils, taking local circumstances into account.
"Curriculum for Excellence as a whole is about providing learners with the range of qualifications and experiences that meet their individual needs and aspirations - it goes much wider than the number of exams that young people study in one particular year."
A spokesman for council body Cosla said: "There is no inequality of opportunity in terms of presentation for these exams and the decisions taken by councils and their schools are rightly and properly based on a range of education-related factors.
"To suggest that councils treat Curriculum for Excellence as a lottery ignores the quality of outcomes already achieved by Scottish pupils, since CfE National 4 and 5 exams were introduced."
The bones, which represent at least five individuals, have been dated to between 11,500 and 14,500 years ago.
But scientists are calling them simply the Red Deer Cave people, after one of the sites where they were unearthed.
The team has told thePLoS One journalthat far more detailed analysis of the fossils is required before they can be ascribed to a new human lineage.
"We're trying to be very careful at this stage about definitely classifying them," said study co-leader Darren Curnoe from the University of New South Wales, Australia.
"One of the reasons for that is that in the science of human evolution or palaeoanthropology, we presently don't have a generally agreed, biological definition for our own species (Homo sapiens), believe it or not. And so this is a highly contentious area," he told BBC News.
Much of the material has been in Chinese collections for some time but has only recently been subjected to intense investigation.
The remains of some of the individuals come from Maludong (or Red Deer Cave), near the city of Mengzi in Yunnan Province. A further skeleton was discovered at Longlin, in neighbouring Guangxi Province.
The skulls and teeth from the two locations are very similar to each other, suggesting they are from the same population.
But their features are quite distinct from what you might call a fully modern human, says the team. Instead, the Red Deer Cave people have a mix of archaic and modern characteristics.
In general, the individuals had rounded brain cases with prominent brow ridges. Their skull bones were quite thick. Their faces were quite short and flat and tucked under the brain, and they had broad noses.
Their jaws jutted forward but they lacked a modern-human-like chin. Computed Tomography (X-ray) scans of their brain cavities indicate they had modern-looking frontal lobes but quite archaic-looking anterior, or parietal, lobes. They also had large molar teeth.
Dr Curnoe and colleagues put forward two possible scenarios in their PLoS One paper for the origin of the Red Deer Cave population.
One posits that they represent a very early migration of a primitive-lookingHomo sapiensthat lived separately from other forms in Asia before dying out.
Another possibility contends that they were indeed a distinctHomospecies that evolved in Asia and lived alongside our own kind until remarkably recently.
A third scenario being suggested by scientists not connected with the research is that the Red Deer Cave people could be hybrids.
"It's possible these were modern humans who inter-mixed or bred with archaic humans that were around at the time," explained Dr Isabelle De Groote, a palaeoanthropologist from London's Natural History Museum.
"The other option is that they evolved these more primitive features independently because of genetic drift or isolation, or in a response to an environmental pressure such as climate."
Dr Curnoe agreed all this was "certainly possible".
Attempts are being made to extract DNA from the remains. This could yield information about interbreeding, just as genetic studies have on the closely related human species - the Neanderthals and an enigmatic group of people from Siberia known as the Denisovans.
Whatever their true place in theHomofamily tree, the Red Deer People are an important find simply because of the dearth of well dated, well described specimens from this part of the world.
And their unearthing all adds to the fascinating and increasingly complex story of human migration and development.
"The Red Deer People were living at what was a really interesting time in China, during what we call the epipalaeolithic or the end of the Stone Age," says Dr Curnoe.
"Not far from Longlin, there are quite well known archaeological sites where some of the very earliest evidence for the epipalaeolithic in East Asia has been found.
"These were occupied by very modern looking people who are already starting to make ceramics - pottery - to store food. And they're already harvesting from the landscape wild rice. There was an economic transition going on from full-blown foraging and gathering towards agriculture."
Quite how the Red Deer People fit into this picture is unclear. The research team is promising to report further investigations into some of the stone tools and cultural artefacts discovered at the dig sites.
The co-leader on the project is Professor Ji Xueping of the Yunnan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology.

Micheál Martin said Irish governments had invested public funds in facilities like Dublin's St Vincent's Hospital and the Mater Hospital for many years.
He said the state was essentially running the hospitals, not the Church.
Mr Martin, who leads the Fianna Fáil party, made his comments to the Irish broadcaster, RTÉ.
"In my view any area in education or health, where fundamentally the state has made a large investment and continued to make the investment for over 30 or 40 years, when that comes to an end, the utilisation of that facility for those purposes, I think those facilities should then revert to the state," he said.
St Vincent's University Hospital was founded by the Religious Sisters of Charity in Dublin city centre in 1834.
In 1970, it transferred to its current site in Elm Park, Dublin 4, just south of the city centre.
The Religious Sisters of Charity remain as shareholders of the hospital, and it is run according to their philosophy of "human dignity, compassion, justice, quality and advocacy".
The Mater Misericordiae University Hospital was opened in 1861 by the Sisters of Mercy.
It still operates from its original site on Eccles Street in the north side of the city and celebrated its 125th anniversary last year.
The Mater is home to the biggest 24-hour emergency department in the Republic of Ireland.
The Fianna Fáil leader made his remarks about ownership of the institutions during an interview about the discovery of human remains at a Catholic-Church run home in Tuam, County Galway.
Last week, a government-appointed inquiry confirmed "significant quantities" of human remains had been found at the site of the former home for unmarried mothers and their children.

In London Marathon week, BBC Sport is launching the #IRunFor campaign for the 2017 summer of athletics.
The event mixes local runners with some of the world's best, all tackling the same course for their own reasons.
It could be to win, for a personal best, for donations or awareness of a cause. The #IRunFor campaign will focus on their stories and reasons they run.
The London Marathon, which will be live on BBC One on Sunday, 23 April, is the first in an action-packed summer of athletics.
The Great Manchester Run, Great North Run, Great Scottish Run and Cardiff Half Marathon are just some of the other mass-participation events that will be covered by the BBC and feature in the #IRunFor campaign.
The campaign will carry on across the World Athletics and Para Athletics Championships and beyond.
As well as hearing from you, the campaign will also ask elite athletes participating in the Manchester City Games, World Para Athletics and World Championships what their motivation is.

The 19-year-old and her family returned to Inverness in 2012 after six years spent in Australia.
"They are very good at communicating, giving direction and mentoring," she told BBC Scotland.
The LTA says support "is always in relation to the player's overall performance level".
Wallace, who has slipped to 784th in the world singles rankings after reaching a career high of 630 in August, says her goal is "to be in the top 300" by the end of 2016.
She thinks Australia "is where the future of my tennis lies," adding: "I've changed for my benefit and for my tennis.
"I was told when I was 70 in the world, at the juniors, that my ranking wasn't good enough. That was a bit of a confidence blow.
"I'm not a changed person or anything. I think a few people have maybe been disappointed."
Her father, family baker Alan, said it was a "big decision" for the family.
"It's been playing on our minds for a while, probably the last couple of years," he said.
"It's disappointing it had to be done, but Isabelle's pretty comfortable with it and she believes now is a chapter in her career that hopefully she'll get help from the Australian governing body and just being part of a more professional set-up is the main thing.
"Over the last few years since we came back from Australia, we've had a look at what Isabelle's been doing and the level of support she's been getting from the LTA and Tennis Scotland.
"I'd rather she was representing Britain and Scotland, but most of her tennis background was in Australia. They've kept in touch with her.
"It just seems to be, when somebody doesn't play too well for two or three months, they're just dropped like a hot potato."
Attempting to progress to the higher levels of the sport takes a lot of investment and Wallace, with wife Diane, spends in excess of £25,000 per year to fund their daughter's development.
Their frustration is less about financial support than assistance in key areas.
"It's more on the mentoring side of it and communication with Isabelle," added Wallace's father. "That just wasn't there anymore. It's just non-existent.
"We do feel let down. We just felt we were on our own doing it. Plotting our flights here and there and what tournaments to go to."
The Wallace family feel their case is not unique and the demands on families and youngsters may be turning people away from the sport.
"I would say this is happening consistently," Alan Wallace added. "I think maybe a lot of people get fed up and drop out the game.
"A lot of people just feel on their own I would imagine.
"Tennis is a really, really tough sport. We're lucky enough to have our business that we can support Isabelle and we'll continue supporting her, but it's very, very hard on families. It's draining.
"You just feel alone. You need a governing body to help you and talk to you and give you the guidance on what you should be doing."
The blueprint included traffic lights at the junction of Pleasance Avenue and New Abbey Road and re-alignment of part of Dalbeattie Road onto Park Road.
Dumfries and Galloway Council officials have been asked to go back over the plans to look at alternative options.
Further consultation will also be carried out with residents in the area over the project.
Abbey councillor Ian Blake said there was one part of the proposals which was clearly the most unpopular.
"The realignment of Dalbeattie Road and Park Road and the traffic congestion on Park Road undoubtedly has been the biggest issue," he said.
"There are certainly some concerns on Pleasance Avenue/New Abbey Road and the introduction of traffic lights where the initial proposal was to look at a roundabout.
"It may not be possible to place a roundabout there but I think they still have to have that option on the table and they really need to examine it and explain why that couldn't take place."
Council leader Ronnie Nicholson, who proposed the re-examination of the traffic management plans, agreed that the road realignment proposal stood out as a major sticking point.
He said there was a need to look again at all the proposals and the thinking behind them.
"We have got plenty of time to go back out, have a look at the plans and rejig them if necessary - and I think it is necessary on a couple of aspects of it," he said.
He said the reason for roundabout plans at the "pinch point" on Pleasance Avenue being replaced by traffic lights needed to be made clearer.
"If there is a reasonable explanation and people are informed about it then they can make their mind up whether that is an appropriate way to go," he added.
Raphael Castillo, 29, from south London, registered a car and phone in the names of fictional drug kingpins Marlo Stanfield and Avon Barksdale.
When police raided his home they discovered a stash of luxury designer goods, including a Rolex worth £7,300.
He pleaded guilty to supplying heroin and crack cocaine and was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court earlier.
He also pleaded guilty to possession of criminal property.
Castillo was sentenced to five years and eight months in prison, and was ordered to pay back £12,775 under the Proceeds of Crime act.
Police estimate Castillo, who was head of a London drugs ring, made £71,000 dealing from properties in Yeovil, Somerset, in 2016.
When officers raided Castillo's home in Vestry Road, Camberwell, in December, they found a Fendi backpack worth £2,500, trainers worth in excess of £1,000 and about £3,000 in cash, in addition to the Rolex.
Avon and Somerset Police said he ran a county lines drugs operation, in which urban dealers sell drugs in smaller locations, and made about £71,430.67 in total.
Det Con Richard Grierson said: "He fancied himself as a gangster figure and registered a vehicle in the name of Marlo Stanfield and a phone in the name of Avon Barksdale, both fictional drug dealers from US TV series The Wire.
"All the dealers working for this county lines operation were from London and have come to Yeovil to deal large quantities of class A drugs from rented properties."
The Wire was a long-running TV crime drama that aired in the US between 2002 and 2008 and saw Avon Barksdale and Marlo Stanfield run a drug dealing network in Baltimore.
Police said Castillo's criminal operations were "well organised" and highly "lucrative", and like the fictional character Avon Barksdale, Castillo too now faces time behind bars.
In 2011, a police officer pepper-sprayed students protesting at UC Davis, California, at close range.
The university later hired consultants to "eradicate references" to the incident in search results.
UC Davis said it wanted the reputation of the university to be "fairly portrayed".
Videos of the incident, which have been viewed millions of times online, show a police officer pepper-spraying students who were peacefully protesting on the university campus.
In a statement issued at the time, university Chancellor Linda Katehi said she was "deeply saddened" by the event and took "full responsibility for the incident" but refused to resign when challenged by the university's academic staff association.
"I do not think that I have violated the policies of the institution," she said.
Documents released after an investigation by local newspaper the Sacramento Bee found that the university hired consultancy Nevins & Associates in 2013 to "eliminate" Google search results.
The consultants identified "online evidence" and "venomous rhetoric about UC Davis" was being shared online.
The campaign was also designed to eliminate negative search results about Ms Katehi.
Documents suggested this could be achieved with a "flood of content with positive sentiment and off-topic subject matter", and proposed hosting content on Google's own services, which would appear higher in the firm's search results.
Speaking to the Sacramento Bee, UC Davis spokeswoman Dana Topousis said: "We have worked to ensure that the reputation of the university, which the chancellor leads, is fairly portrayed."
The consultancy was paid by the university's communications department. Its budget has increased from almost $3m in 2009, to $5.5m in 2015. | Military surveillance equipment has been made available to police searching for missing RAF serviceman Corrie Mckeague.

The council is due to elect its new leader next Thursday.
Jamie Adams, former leader and member of the Independent Plus Political Group (IPPG), has removed his name from the contest.
The IPPG has led the council since 1996 but lost 20 councillors in the local elections earlier this month.
Mr Simpson stepped down from Pembrokeshire's cabinet and left the IPPG in 2014 over disagreements about the way the group was being run by Mr Adams.
He said at the time it was the efforts of Rob Lewis to derail the investigatory committee into former chief executive Bryn Parry Jones which led to his resignation.
Mr Simpson has already won the backing of the Labour, Liberal Democrat and Conservative members in his leadership bid.
More than 50 posts, including specialist teachers, are earmarked to go as part of a strategy to streamline the service and cut costs.

The learning support strategy is to be the focus of a series of family engagement forums.
The first is between 18:00 and 19:30 at Moffat Academy.
Patience, 29, won silver three years ago with Stuart Bithell, and this time teams up with two-time world champion Elliot Willis in the men's 470.
"It's such an exciting phone call to get and it just gets the wee butterflies going," said Patience.
"I'm always proud to don the Team GB shirt and here we go again. Round two, let's fight."
Patience and Willis won the European Championships just six months after getting together, and in January won gold at the ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami.
Patience said: "You dream about a single thing for so many years of your life, certainly all of my adult life in my case, so to get the call saying you're selected for the Olympics is just so good, such an honour.

"I'm just so pleased to be in a team with Elliot and be able to experience his first excitement to it all. He is a very grounded guy and he is very unaffected by the occasion, but let's be honest it's the Olympic Games, and it is going to be a good one.
"I'm so pleased to be in a boat with him, we get on really well. We raced each other hard, to the bone, in our younger years and here we are in the team together.
"Stuart and I had a fantastic experience last time round and I'm sure me and Elliot and I are on the same path to have a fantastic experience to go and race hard. He has got to be one of the most talented and successful sailors that has yet to go to the Olympic Games so I'm so pleased that he has that opportunity."
Asked about how he expects Rio to compare to London, Patience told BBC Scotland: "It'll be a new challenge, totally different.
"We're overseas, it's trickier out there - the culture, the climate - and trying to make somewhere over the other side of the world feel like home."
"I do this sport to win, I don't do it for any other reason.
"I would be lying if I said I wasn't going there next year to try and bring home a gold medal. That is the goal, it's what drives us every day, it's what gets me out of bed in the morning and it's what driven me for all these years."
Giles Scott, Saskia Clark, Hannah Mills, Bryony Shaw, Nick Thompson and Alison Young are the others who were named on Wednesday morning.
Gen Sean Swindell, leader of the unit training Afghan special forces, said that disgruntled Taliban fighters have established a "franchise".
But he added that IS in Afghanistan is not as serious as in Libya or Iraq.
There have been serious clashes between the new group and the Taliban in eastern Afghanistan in recent weeks.
Both sides have ignored appeals for unity and the fighting has spread across several districts in Nangarhar province, not far from the Tora Bora cave complex where former al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden once hid.
Part of the website of the main IS group is now reserved for material about "IS in Khorasan", using an old name for Afghanistan.
A recently posted statement threatens Taliban fighters with death if they do not join IS.
"Why are you fighting with the Islamic State? Do you want to dig your own grave? Do you want to be beheaded, and have your homes destroyed? Do you think you are stronger than those Iraqi militias behind whom the Americans are standing?" it says.
The statement appears to be a rebuff to a direct appeal by the Taliban for unity between the two groups.
In a statement to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Taliban said that there could not be "two flags" in the insurgency in Afghanistan.
It said that it would "result in mujahideen strength being fragmented."
But in contrast, during their offensive in Nangarhar, IS supporters have been seen urging people to kill the leader of the Taliban, Mullah Mohammed Omar.
They argue that there is already one caliph - Baghdadi.
The first signs of "IS in Khorasan" were in Pakistan's frontier region in January.
A number of ex-Taliban fighters, including one Afghan commander, pledged allegiance to the new group.
Now, backing up IS threats, pictures of Taliban fighters being both beheaded and shot have appeared on social media in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The new battles are a complex security challenge for Afghan forces in their first summer of fighting without international combat support on the ground.
Gen Swindell said that Afghan special forces are conducting around 130 raids a week.
Only in a handful was there direct support by international troops. Even then, it was not in a combat role but involved advising in command and control centres.
Gen Swindell said that Farah province in the west is also facing threats from the new movement. They were in a "competition for resources" with the Taliban.
The fighting has led to renewed misery for Afghan civilians caught between the two sides.
Thousands of people have fled their homes to avoid the fighting in Nangarhar.
This year has seen more than 4,200 civilians killed or injured across the country. It look as if it will set a dismal new record of the highest casualties by the end of the year, topping even 2014.
The move to limit Airbnb hosts from renting properties for more than 90 days was announced in December.
London boroughs have warned that short-term lets are pushing up longer term rental prices in the capital.
But nearly a third of all boroughs told the BBC the time limit would not slow the growth of short-term letting.
Airbnb, an accommodation listing website, said the impact of short-term lets and home-sharing websites on rental prices in London was "negligible".
Last year, it commissioned the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) to investigate the impact of short-term lets on London's rental market .
Airbnb said the IPPR report found "entire homes" booked on the site at least once a year made up less than 1% of total private housing stock in London in 2015.
But the study also showed 11% (2,444 properties) of Airbnb's entire home rentals were let for more than six months of the year.
The IPPR found landlords were, in some cases, removing properties from the long-term rental market altogether and offering their properties for rent on a series of short-term lets instead.
In turn, this piled pressure on long-term rental prices due to a lack of available properties, the report said.
It also found some Airbnb hosts may have been offering properties for rent illegally.
Events organiser Daniel Thomas has been looking for an affordable room to rent in the area for over a year.
Mr Thomas, who commutes from Slough to Ladbroke Grove, said: "Lots of young people here are looking for properties for the first time, and they're all just going to tourists, so we have nowhere to live."
The law states owners cannot let property for more than 90 days in a given year on a short-term let.
If an owner wants to let for longer, they must seek planning permission for a "change of use" from their local council.
Seven London boroughs - Camden, Hammersmith, Haringey, Islington, Lewisham, Waltham Forest, Westminster - have now called for tougher legislation to prevent illegal lettings.
A Camden Council spokesman said: "There is a clear justification for doing so given the detrimental impact short-term letting is having on housing availability in London."
Diarmard Ward, executive member for housing at Islington Council said: "Airbnb and other short-term letting sites push up rents and they also reduce the number of homes for people who want to rent long term."
Airbnb's northern Europe boss, James McClure, told BBC London the company was introducing the 90-day limit "to forestall any potential danger down the road".
"That's why we're looking to implement automatic limiting to ensure the law is respected and it's up to councils to decide the best use and mix of properties in their area," he added.
The Department for Communities and Local Government said any landlord breaching the 90-day limit "faces a hefty fine", and added it is up to local councils to enforce the law.
A government spokesman praised Airbnb's policy and encouraged other services to follow suit.
But commercial landlords operating on Airbnb told BBC London the 90-day limit would have no effect.
One, who has three homes listed on the site but did not want to be named, said: "I'll just carry on as before. When the 90 day rule comes up, I'll re-register the homes I have so it looks like they're different homes... a few metres away.
"I know many other landlords planning to do the same thing."
Another, Bulent Boytorun, who rents four homes on Airbnb, said he may move his business to alternative home-sharing platforms.
All 33 of London's boroughs, including the City of London, were asked whether they believed all home-sharing websites should block illegal lets.
Twelve of the 28 the councils that responded to BBC London said they supported it.
But when BBC London asked other competitors in the short-term letting market sites if they enforced the 90-day rule or planned to do so, none said they did.
A spokesperson for TripAdvisorRentals, which lists about 8,000 London properties, said: "To list on our site, homeowners and managers must agree to our terms and conditions, which require a property to be operated in accordance with all local laws and regulations."
A group of armed men in about 30 vehicles drove onto their land in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and began to shoot randomly, they reported.
They said they had to run for their lives and hide in a nearby forest.
Tension has been high since an indigenous leader was killed during a land occupation protest a week ago.
Federal troops have been sent to the area to try to restore order.
Prosecutors have opened an investigation into allegations that local farmers have set up a militia to fight the indigenous groups in Mato Grosso do Sul.
The latest reported incident took place in the municipality of Douradina.
The attack happened on Thursday afternoon but has only now been reported.
"They came in and began to shoot everywhere," said indigenous leader Ezequiel Guyra Kambi'y.
"Our warriors began to pull back, but they kept pushing, driving towards us and shooting. We had to run away and hide in the forest."
The farmers returned in the evening and fired more than 50 shots, he added.
The violence started when about 1,000 Guarani-Kaiowa occupied five ranches on 22 August, taking hostages who were later released.
A week ago, indigenous leader Semiao Vilhalva was killed when farmers tried to retake the ranches.
The tribe says those are their ancestral lands, which had been stolen.
The Brazilian Indigenous Agency (Funai) has already designated the area as an indigenous territory, but farmers got an injunction earlier this year suspending the process.
The state of Mato Grosso do Sul is a major cattle raising and soya producing area and has a long history of clashes between indigenous communities and farmers.
Many Guarani are forced to live in overcrowded reserves or in makeshift camps on the roadside where malnutrition, disease and suicide are high.
The constables, aged 47 and 35, were quizzed over conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office, and conspiracy to steal and supply drugs.
The officers, based at Perry Barr, Birmingham, were arrested in early morning raids.
Five other men and one woman were also arrested in the raids by West Midlands Police's counter corruption unit.
"All are being questioned at police stations across the West Midlands," a force spokesman said.

The other people arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office, conspiracy to steal and to supply drugs were a 42-year-old man and a woman, 36, both from Derby, and a man aged 28 from Alum Rock.
A 42-year-old-man from Washwood Heath, a man aged 27 from Alum Rock and another man, 25, from Aston are being questioned on conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office.
Police Scotland said it was "keeping an open mind" as to whether the gun was linked to the crime groups involved in September's Gilmerton shootings.

He added: "Inquiries are ongoing to identify the owners of the handgun and the gun has examined for any forensic opportunities.
"The owning of illegal firearms will not be tolerated and we will act on every piece of information we receive in order to crack down on this illegal activity."
England vice-captain Heather Knight reflects on the one-day international phase of the multi-format Women's Ashes. The series continues with a one-off Test at Canterbury which begins on Tuesday, 11 August. You can listen to commentary on every ball of the series on the BBC.
It was a massive honour to pick up my 50th cap, made all the more special being in the West Country at a ground where I'd spent hours training as a kid with the Somerset academy.
We love cap presentations as a squad, not only because we massively enjoy each other's success, but also because we use it as a competition to see who can look the most elated or dorky in the background of the shot. I think Nat Sciver and Lydia Greenway have nailed it perfectly in the background of this photo…
There's always a few nerves kicking around at the start of such a massive series, but we started brilliantly with the ball with Anya Shrubsole and Katherine Brunt setting the tone. They've both bowled excellently in all three ODIs and have been unlucky not to get more reward in the wickets column.
Nat and Lydia then combined excellently with the bat to see us over the line, a brilliant start.
The convoy then made its way to Bristol for the next match. Lydia and Laura Marsh and I decided to break away from the convoy system on the morning of the match.
This proved to be an error, with chief navigator Marshy taking us in the completely wrong direction. Luckily we didn't lose too much time!
The Australians came back hard at us in Bristol, as we expected, and made us pay for not taking a few tough chances in the field and not staying in the game long enough with the bat.
Being a cricketer in England, one skill that's non-negotiable in your cricketing armoury is an ability to amuse yourself during a long rain delay. We found this out on a damp squib in Worcester three days later.
It's always tricky when you've got the game in the back of your mind, but it's quite important to be able to relax so you're ready to switch on quickly if the rain subsides. It's fair to say there are a variety of characters in our dressing room and everyone has their own ways of coping with the rain.
Captain Charlotte Edwards can be seen sighing after reaching in her pocket for her phone several times an hour, only to realise it's not actually there because of the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption measures which mean that all phones have to be removed from the dressing room.
Katherine Brunt is usually making a large amount of noise somewhere, whether it is in celebration of a game she's found - such as trying to putt a golf ball into an empty coffee cup - or if she's arguing that she's losing at cards because everyone else is cheating. (Brunty's a terrible loser!).
The Hoof (Anya Shrubsole) will often be frowning at Katherine making so much noise as it distracts her from her Sudoku. I'm usually found filtering between reading the paper, trying and failing to make people laugh, playing cards or doing some running bat repairs.
Despite the weather, it was good to see so many supporters stick around at Worcester and we were grateful to spend a bit of time signing a few autographs and chatting to the crowd.
The support we've had at all three of the grounds has been absolutely amazing, so thanks to everyone who has come along to support us, it really has made a difference.
It's also great to see so many young girls coming along to watch. As a kid I knew very little about women's cricket so to see the next generation being able to access it so easily, thanks to some great coverage we've had, is awesome!
Luckily we had a reserve day at Worcester, but unfortunately we were well below par and Australia outplayed us in all three disciplines. Meg Lanning and Ellyse Perry have really stepped up for them in the ODIs so it's key that we find a way to counter them in the rest of the series.
We were massively disappointed in losing the last two games and it's important that we're honest as a squad with what went wrong, but it's even more important that we move on quickly and come back stronger for the Test.
Sometimes you have bad days in sport, it happens, but it's what you do next that counts and we will be better come 11 August in Canterbury.
But it's not the playlist, its listening figures or social media following that controller Ben Cooper is concerned about - it's where the next generation of presenters is coming from.
"It's everyone's favourite game at Radio 1 to try and second guess me and come up with their fantasy schedule," he laughs as he speaks to the BBC on Wednesday morning.
Cooper is chatting to journalists as he unveils Radio 1 Vintage - a pop-up station which will broadcast old shows from across the decades as part of the station's 50th birthday celebrations in September.
He describes the new venture as a great way of celebrating Radio 1's history - but what about its future?
"I'm not planning any schedule changes at the moment," he says, "but I'm always looking for fresh new talent, for the next set of presenters, but I think it's really weird how it's getting harder.
"It's getting harder because you don't have the likes of MTV presenters like Cat Deeley, Edith Bowman, Trevor Nelson or Zane Lowe.
"You don't have T4 with Vernon Kay and Dermot O'Leary. You don't have CD:UK or Top of the Pops. So it's really hard to find that next group of presenters that are coming up."
With fewer platforms and avenues for presenters to make a name for themselves, where could the next generation of radio presenters come from?
In recent years, Radio 1's line-up has sometimes resembled a Sunday morning TV schedule.
Fearne Cotton, Nick Grimshaw, Jameela Jamil and many more were hired to present on the station after first cutting their teeth on TV.
But Cooper says the issue now with hiring from TV is the fundamental change in the type of personalities which fill our screens.
"With modern youth culture on television, you can't pick someone famous off the TV, because what you've got now is a lot of reality television, and people who are famous for a short burst of time," he explains.
"So it's really hard to find those next stars in the radio industry."
Saying that, Radio 1 has flirted with reality TV stars in the past - like when Kelly Osbourne was hired to present The Surgery.
But she lasted less than 18 months and the station has rarely done it since (although early breakfast host Adele Roberts was once a Big Brother contestant).
When Dan & Phil joined the station in 2012, listeners' reactions ranged from massive excitement to "Sorry, who?"
While the station's older listeners might not have heard of vlogging, hiring YouTubers who have built up their own following online seemed like a logical next step for a station which is constantly chasing a young audience.
The show was popular, but the pair - otherwise known as Dan Howell and Phil Lester - left the station after four years.
Cooper says: "We've looked at YouTubers, people like Dan & Phil, but they get tempted by huge amounts of money and go off on world tours around America and Australia."
We may well see more vloggers hired to present on the station in the future, but it's likely the publicly-funded Radio 1 will struggle to compete with the money that YouTubers can make from lucrative merchandising and endorsement deals.
Twenty years ago, commercial radio was the natural place for BBC bosses to look for new talent, and vice versa.
Scott Mills, Chris Moyles and Tim Westwood were all poached from commercial stations in the 1990s, and similarly, many BBC figures have jumped ship into the world of commercial.
But in recent years, movement has slowed.
Radio 1 has been looking elsewhere for on-air talent, but simulcasting (where the same show is broadcast on multiple regional stations) has meant there are fewer presenting jobs in commercial radio.
However many presenters still swap sides - one of Radio 1's brightest new talents, Clara Amfo, previously presented on Kiss.
So with more and more avenues into radio closing, where exactly is the next generation of radio presenters coming from?
Cooper says the answer lies in student and community radio stations.
"We got Greg James from student radio - he's the sort of poster boy for it. He gets mobbed every time he goes to a conference," Cooper says.
"Student radio and community radio is the one place where you still see people passionate about getting into a room with a microphone and broadcasting to listeners. That's where I look for the next talent."
It's not just the BBC who has been looking at student stations for the next generation of big names.

The Oscar-tipped drama chronicles The Boston Globe's investigation into child abuse in the Catholic Church and features an all-star ensemble cast.
Other nominees included thrillers Bridge of Spies and Sicario, alongside rap biography Straight Outta Compton.
For best adapted screenplay, the writers of space adventure The Martian and female drama Carol earned nods.
The WGA picks five films for its best screenplay award. As expected, it favours heavyweight dramas but the guild also added romantic comedy Trainwreck to its shortlist, alongside Straight Outta Compton.
Written by Amy Schumer, the film features an ensemble cast, including Tilda Swinton and Brie Larson, star of another Oscar-tipped drama, Room.
Written by Josh Singer and Tom McCarthy, Spotlight has already had a strong showing during awards season, including success at the National Society of Film Critics awards, where it won best film of the year.
It also won best film at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association awards last month. It has also been nominated for a Golden Globe for best picture.
Sicario, which stars Emily Blunt and Benicio del Toro, was also on the list of nominees for the best film of 2015 award from the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC).
The movie tells the story of a conscientious FBI agent enlisted by a government task force to foil a brutal Mexican drug cartel.
The film was also among the contenders for this year's Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
Elsewhere, the ASC again tilted in favour of dramas, with Bridge of Spies and Carol also on their best film list, as well as hard-hitting revenge western The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Writers Guild of America will present its awards on 13 February while the American Society of Cinematographers will hand out its honours the next day.
Meanwhile, this Sunday sees the Golden Globe awards take place in LA, followed next week by the nominations for the Oscars on 14 January.
The safe was taken overnight between Thursday and Friday from a portable office building at Lighthouse Leisure in Southerness.
Det Con Grant Drennan said they were carrying out door-to-door inquiries in the area.
He said they wanted to hear from anyone who had seen or heard anything suspicious in the area.
"It appears that those responsible might have taken some time to carry out this crime and we are also keen to hear about any suspicious activities on the days leading up to this theft," he added.
The 44-year-old's Swiss restaurant came top of the French La Liste ranking of the world's 1,000 best eateries.
La Liste expressed its sadness at the death of this "exceptional chef", who ran the Restaurant de l'Hotel de Ville in Crissier, near Lausanne.
Swiss police said the French-born chef appeared to have shot himself.
His death followed the loss last year of both his father and the man he regarded as a second father, chef and mentor Philippe Rochat, who died from a cycling injury in July.
But the BBC's Lucy Williamson in Paris says the apparent suicide has also re-opened a debate about the pressures of cooking at this level, with some blaming the death in 2003 of top chef Bernard Loiseau on his fear of losing a Michelin star.
After his restaurant gained the ultimate accolade in November, Mr Violier told the New York Times that he felt a "heavy responsibility to be named number one".
His death came just hours before the launch of Michelin's French listings, which began with a minute's silence as a mark of respect.
Among those lauded at the event was Christian Le Squer, whose restaurant at Paris hotel the George V gained a star, but the chef said he was in no mood to celebrate.
"The whole gastronomic world is in tears because we lost a great colleague and friend," he said.
Swiss chef Fredy Girardet, who also received three Michelin stars, told the Swiss news source 24 Heures that he was "dumbfounded" by news of Mr Violier's death.
"He was a brilliant man," he said. "Such talent, and an amazing capacity for work. He was so kind, with so many qualities. He gave the impression of being perfect."
Another Swiss chef, Edgard Bovier from the restaurant La Table d'Edgard in Lausanne, described Mr Bovier as the "Federer of cooking".
"He was a star who everyone who ate at his restaurant felt they knew, so approachable and warm was he," Mr Bovier told 24 Heures (in French).
The Michelin Guide said its thoughts were with Mr Violier's family and colleagues.
"Benoit Violier was a brilliant chef, he trained a large number of young chefs and we are thinking of his family, his team and the whole world of gastronomy today, we're all sad, all in mourning," said Michael Ellis, international director at Michelin Guide.
Food writer Andy Hayler told BBC World News that Mr Violier "really was that good".
"The two meals I had there when he was cooking were some of the best I've ever eaten, and I've been to every three-star Michelin restaurant in the world so I have a basis for comparison," he said.
He said Mr Violier served "fantastic, flawless classical cuisine".
Signature dishes at L'Hotel de Ville included French classics such as pigs trotters with black truffle, and sea urchin in champagne sauce.
Having worked at the restaurant since 1996, Mr Violier took it over along with his wife Brigitte in 2012, later obtaining Swiss nationality.
A keen hunter, he was also known for his game cooking and produced a weighty book on game meat last year.
The restaurant's menus ranged from a quick lunch menu at 195 Swiss francs ($191; £134) to a "discovery" set menu priced at 380 Swiss francs.
According to a biography on his website, Mr Violier grew up in a family of seven children in the town of Saintes, in western France.
His passion for gastronomy was inspired by his mother from a young age, while he learned about wine, cognac and hunting from his father.
He moved to Paris in 1991, training with top French chefs including Joel Robuchon and Benoit Guichard.
He said his time there taught him "rigour, discipline and the art of the beautiful gesture".
In an indication of the standards he held himself to, he said: "Nothing is ever definitive, everything must be repeated every day."
Accepting the La Liste award, given by France's foreign ministry as an alternative to the World's 50 Best Restaurants prize, Mr Violier said it was an "exceptional" honour that would "only motivate our team more".
Cassells, 31, is however unlikely to be eligible for Monday's Premier Division game with Cork City at the Brandywell.
Shiels admits he is "down to the bare bones" defensively, with Ryan McBride and Aaron Barry facing potentially lengthy spells on the sidelines.
The Derry boss says McBride may have to be "patched up" for the Cork match.
"None of our centre-backs are available, so I'm down to looking at kids, but it's asking too much of them to throw them into a game of such importance against a team of the quality of Cork," observed Shiels.
Cassells, who has joined the Candystripes until the end of the season, has played for Alicante in the Segunda, the second professional tier of Spanish football.
"I need a player in because of our injury problems in defence and these guys' salary demands are less than half of what I would have to pay an Irish League player.
"The Irish League is too expensive for me to get a quality player. There are about 16 players in the Irish League I would go for and I've been after about four or five but the market is just too high. That is the bottom line.
"Cristian is very athletic, has got an aerial presence, comes and attacks the ball and is technically good.
"He has leadership qualities and he's not a typical Spanish defender, but he's rugged and should fit into our league well.
"I do dossiers on players and find out about their character first, that's one of the most important things. If that comes up trumps I can get them to fit into the dynamics of the team."
Derry lie second in the table, one point ahead of their opponents on Monday night, but Cork have three games in hand because of their European club football commitments.
"The last time we went into a game against Cork it was on the back of a horrendous defeat to Finn Harps and there was doom and gloom around the whole club, which we had to rise above," explained Shiels.
"Both Cork and Dundalk have had blips because of their participation in Europe, while we saw off Harps 5-0, so we don't want to fall into the opposite trap of feeling too good about ourselves," he added.
The 33-year-old, who is second in the ICC Test bowling rankings, pulled up while bowling shortly before lunch.
Steyn will return to South Africa to see a shoulder specialist and it is expected he will have surgery.
South Africa closed day two at the Waca on 104-2 in their second innings, leading by 102.
Proteas team manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee said: "An injury of this nature is rare and will in all likelihood require surgery but that will only be confirmed once we receive an opinion from the specialist."
South Africa say he will bat in their second innings "if absolutely necessary". A decision on whether a replacement will be called up has yet to be made.
Steyn's injury marred what was otherwise a superb day for the tourists, who fought back brilliantly after Australia reached 158-0 in reply to South Africa's first-innings' 242.
Before his injury, Steyn took the first wicket to fall, Australia opener David Warner, who top-scored with 97.
Seamer Vernon Philander took 4-56 and debutant left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj 3-56 as Australia's 10 wickets fell for 86 runs in 35 overs.
Over the weekend, investors flocked to Xiongan in droves, while online it has been the subject of social media buzz.
It all began on Saturday when the Chinese government announced the location of a special economic zone (SEZ) which would effectively serve as an extension of Beijing.
The capital has been grappling with overcrowding, heavy pollution and congestion caused by a booming population, and officials are trying to relocate industries and encourage people to live further afield.
Called Xiongan New Area, the 100 sq km (38.6 sq mile) zone is expected to eventually expand to 2,000 sq km - nearly three times the size of New York - and is a key component of a massive "mega-region" developing around Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.
Chinese media quoted President Xi Jinping as saying Xiongan - home to one of China's biggest wetlands - would be developed to world class standards, with a focus on ecological protection and well-being.
Anticipation about a new possible SEZ - where the local authorities have more freedom to make their own economic rules to appeal to domestic and foreign investors - had been bubbling for months.
So when authorities confirmed its location in Xiongxian and Anxin counties, south of Beijing, investors wasted no time. Hundreds of property punters descended on the area immediately after the announcement.
Locals saw their normally quiet streets flooded with cars bearing Beijing and Tianjin licence plates, while hotels were completely packed out, according to local media.
One local told Beijing News: "Today I've seen a lot of cars from elsewhere.
"I've been hanging out by the roadside just for a short while and so many people have approached me asking where they can buy houses, and how much the houses cost."
Homeowners were overjoyed to find themselves sitting on potential goldmines, with their property value skyrocketing overnight.
Online, jokes were made about how Xiongan men were suddenly the most desirable in the country thanks to their newfound wealth.
One post that went viral on social media showed a man jauntily posing for the camera, purportedly advertising himself as marriage material.
"Xiongan New Area marriage notice: Male, 53 years old... has two acres of land in Xiongxian," the caption read.
Not quite. Alarmed by the rocketing prices, the government moved in on Sunday to burst the nascent property bubble by suspending all new sales in the region.
It also imposed strict regulations on who could develop and sell property in the area, as well as restrictions on residential permit registrations.
But that hardly deterred investors, who simply redirected their attention to areas just outside Xiongan. Home prices in neighbouring counties have now started soaring too, reported the Global Times.
Chinese authorities have struggled to contain the fervour of their vast pool of investors, who traditionally consider property a sure bet and who have fuelled spiralling prices.
Government curbs introduced earlier this year did little to stop property sales by area rising by 25% in January and February, compared to the same period last year.
Xiongan, it seems, is yet another chapter in China's obsession with property.
Jean-Claude Juncker criticised US President Barack Obama's description of Russia as merely "a regional power".
EU-US sanctions were imposed on Russia because of its intervention in Ukraine. Mr Obama had a frosty meeting recently with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Russia must be treated decently," Mr Juncker said in Germany.
"We must make efforts towards a practical relationship with Russia. It is not sexy but that must be the case, we can't go on like this," he said, during a visit to Passau in southern Germany.
Last year the West imposed visa bans and asset freezes on dozens of senior Russian officials.
The sanctions also restricted Russian access to Western bank credits and industrial technology in the defence and energy sectors. In retaliation, Russia banned most imports of Western food and drink.
Passau has become a major transit hub for non-EU migrants seeking a new life in Germany, and Mr Juncker's visit was focused on the EU's efforts to handle the migrant influx.
The civil war in Syria is driving rising numbers of Syrians into Turkey and onwards to Central Europe. Turkey already hosts about two million Syrians in basic refugee camps.
Last week Mr Obama sharply criticised Russia's air strikes in Syria, which began at the end of September.
The US and UK governments are worried that Russia's help for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will keep him in power and weaken the "moderate" Syrian groups fighting to oust him.
Russia insists that its air strikes are mainly targeting the so-called Islamic State (IS), while Western leaders dispute that.
Referring to the current tensions in EU-Russia relations Mr Juncker said "we can't let our relationship with Russia be dictated by Washington".
But he also urged Russia to make a "massive" policy shift. "The way they have acted in Crimea and eastern Ukraine is not acceptable," he said.
The accused in the city of Atlanta face counts of racketeering, making false statements and conspiring to improve test scores to win cash bonuses.
Several of the defendants have already reported to jail in Fulton County.
Former Atlanta School Superintendent Beverly Hall is among those named in the grand jury's indictment.
In 2009, she was named national superintendent of the year by the American Association of School Administrators - the same year much of the alleged cheating is said to have taken place.
According to prosecutors, Ms Hall was given a $78,000 (£51,000) bonus from the public school system.
"The money she received, we are alleging, was ill gotten and it was theft," Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard told reporters on Friday, when the grand jury indictment was made public.
By Tuesday morning's deadline, five educators - not including Ms Hall - had turned themselves in, the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper reported. They were being held on bail bonds of up to $1m.
All those identified by the grand jury must surrender, or face arrest at home or at work.
A 65-count indictment alleges a major conspiracy to cheat, conceal cheating or retaliate against whistleblowers, while inflating student test scores.
The defendants include senior administrators, principals, assistant principals, teachers, testing co-ordinators, a school secretary and a school improvement specialist.
Ron Carlson, professor of law emeritus at the University of Georgia, told the Associated Press news agency: "It's the largest school teaching scandal yet recorded in the country."
Each accused is charged under a Georgia state law modelled on a federal statute enacted to target organised crime.
The Women in IT scorecard looked at gender trends from secondary education through to the work place.
It indicates women account for just 16% of the UK IT workforce.
And the problem starts early - despite consistently out-performing boys in computing A-level results, girls account for just 6.5% of those taking the exam.
The study was compiled by BCS, the chartered institute for IT, and E-skills UK.
Other highlights from the report include:
Gillian Arnold, chairwoman of BCS Women, said: "The continuing decline in women entering the IT profession is a real threat for the UK and an issue that clearly we need to address."
Karen Price, chief executive of E-skills UK, said: "Women have a significant contribution to make to the IT sector, and it is vital for the economy that we ensure they have the opportunity.
"This joint report provides the evidence we need to face the problem head-on, and to develop hard hitting and effective interventions to solve it."
There has been a glut of charities and groups set up to fight gender imbalance, determined to offer good role models to young girls and dispel the myths of an industry run by geeks.
For example, Stemettes is a group of volunteers set up to help combat the lack of girls studying so-called Stem subjects - science, technology, engineering and maths.
The agreement comes after America's biggest bank was fined $185m in September last year for illegally opening about two million accounts.
Chief executive John Stumpf resigned in the wake of a scandal.
Tuesday's settlement has still to be approved by the court.
The class action lawsuit was filed in May 2015 by Shahriar Jabbari and Kaylee Heffelfinger at the district court in Northern District of California.
In a statement, Wells Fargo said the agreement would "consist of all persons who claim that Wells Fargo opened an account in their name without consent, enrolled them in a product or service without consent, or submitted an application for a product or service in their name without consent".
New president and chief executive Tim Sloan said: "This agreement is another step in our journey to make things right with customers and rebuild trust."
"We want to ensure that each customer impacted by our sales practices issue has every opportunity for remediation, and this agreement presents an additional option," he added.
Last September's fine was imposed on Wells Fargo by the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CSFB), following an investigation into the bank's sales practices.
Its investigation found that to meet sales targets bank staff had "illegally" signed up customers for deposit and credit-card accounts that they did not want or did not know they had.
Wells Fargo said it expected this latest settlement to resolve claims in 11 other pending class action lawsuits.
Cleese has recreated the 1975 scene in which a frustrated Fawlty berated his broken down car before giving it a "damn good thrashing" with a branch.
Cleese agreed to rewrite the scene for Specsavers opticians as he thought it would be "genuinely funny".
The ad sees Fawlty lose his patience with a sat-nav and take out his anger on the wrong target - a police car.
"A lot of people have sent me Fawlty Towers scripts, or Basil scripts, and they were always absolutely awful," Cleese said.
"But these people had an idea, and I have to say, I met them and they were all very nice, and within 20 minutes we'd written the script. Because it was kind of obvious. And I looked at that, and I thought, no I think that will work and it's genuinely funny."
The classic sitcom ran for just 12 episodes between 1975 and 1979. Cleese, who wrote the show with his wife and co-star Connie Booth, said they did not make more because they did not want the quality to decline.
The star is no stranger to advertising, having previously lent his name to Sainsbury's, Schweppes and The AA.
Cleese has also spoken about having to pay a large chunk of his wealth to his third wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger after their divorce, even embarking on his Alimony Tour in 2011.

That Pakistan then demolished India by 180 runs to win a global 50-over title for the first time since 1992 - when they defeated England in the World Cup final - is a big upset.
This success reminds me of that Imran Khan side in that, on both occasions, Pakistan gained a lot of late momentum and won a tournament that they looked like going out of.
It just shows what happens when a team gets on a roll.
Pakistan were horrible in losing their first match against India, but a fresh approach saw them improve and steadily gain in confidence.
By the end, they peaked at the right time.
The win in the final was built around the performances of two men - one who already has quite a history in this team and one who has only played four one-day internationals.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Opening batsman Fakhar Zaman, who made his debut in this tournament, has been a revelation and his 114 at The Oval was a wonderful innings.
I believe that an aggressive left-handed opener can be a real asset in one-day cricket, because these guys can find so many different ways to hurt you.
They can hit the ball anywhere from behind point on the off side to deep mid-wicket on the leg.
Think of men like Chris Gayle, Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist. Fakhar is not an imposing character, but he's wiry, he has a fantastic eye and he gives it a real go.
India were not the only team to suffer from his aggression.
England were defending a small total in their semi-final and, once they were hit by Fakhar, the game sprinted away from them. It is his instinct to attack, allowing the others to play around him.
While Fakhar set the tone with the bat, the bowling attack was led by Mohammad Amir.
Media playback is not supported on this device
We are seven years on from the spot-fixing offences committed at Lord's that ultimately cost Amir five years of his career.
This Champions Trophy final almost feels like the completion of his return.
The left-armer took three wickets - three huge wickets. Openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, either side of the massive scalp of Virat Kohli, a ball after having the same man dropped at slip.
Amir was pretty much world class at the age of 18, filled to the brim with potential. Now he is a bowler who will win many, many matches for Pakistan.
Just imagine how good he might be now if he had not been so stupid in 2010. Five years is an awful lot of development to miss.
He perhaps doesn't swing the ball quite as a much as he did when he was a teenager, but he may have sacrificed that in order to add a little pace.
His attitude in this tournament has been excellent, that of a man who has moved on from the problems of his past.
Is it redemption for Amir? I suppose it is. There were people who did not want him back in the game but, now he is back, he will be a high-class performer. Good luck to him.
This is not only a wonderful story for Amir, but for the whole of Pakistan cricket.
Their problems are well-documented, but their list of achievements are worth repeating.
They still cannot play international matches at home because of fears over security and yet, a year on from topping the world Test rankings in this country, here they are winning a global tournament.
As a team, they may not always feel like they receive a great deal of goodwill, yet I firmly believe that we in England have so much affection for them because of the way they play.
They can be magnificent one day and utterly atrocious the next.
Therefore the challenge for coach Mickey Arthur is the same as every man that has gone before him - make Pakistan consistent, because when they play as they have here, they are the best.
As for India, they will feel very similar to how England did after they were beaten in the semi-final - like they have been hit by a battering ram. Two teams that were highly fancied were beaten and ended up with bitter disappointment.
It some ways, that will be the way in which I will remember this tournament, for the surprise results - let us not forget that Bangladesh also made their first major semi-final.
There has been wonderful fielding, batsmen just seem to get better and better and there has been bowling to enjoy - especially when Pakistan get the ball in hand.
At times, this tournament has been difficult, because it has been played against the backdrop of some truly awful events in our country. It is so sad that many matches began with a minute's silence and it has been uncomfortable to be thinking about sport in some terrible times.
However, people can sometimes look to sport for reassurance. Its presence is a sign that everyday life goes on.
Sport can be a huge boost to morale. Maybe that was the case on a sun-kissed Sunday at The Oval.
Swarms of flies have descended on the rubbish at the open tip on Upper Wharf Street, close to Salford University.
The Environment Agency said it had banned new waste being brought there.
Land Restoration Northern Ltd, which runs the site, has until the end of November to meet standards or face prosecution, the agency said. The firm has been unavailable for comment.
Local resident Graham English said he was unable to open his windows at night and had begun a video diary.
He said the flies were keeping him awake.
Tracey Rimmer, from the Environment Agency, said it had taken steps to issue enforcement action against the company.
The agency said it followed "extensive investigations into odour, dust and fly issues in the area around the site".
It has suspended the importation of waste on to the site and asked the company to move older waste.
The Sunderland fan was diagnosed with neuroblastoma - a rare type of cancer - when he was 18 months old.
Bradley went on to be the club's mascot and became "best mates" with his hero, striker Jermain Defoe.
A minute's applause for the youngster took place just before the kick-off in the club's friendly against Bury at Gigg Lane.
Bury's chairman also said all gate receipts from the match will go to Bradley's fundraising campaign.
His death was confirmed on social media by his parents.
The posting read: "My brave boy has went with the angels today.
"He was our little superhero and put the biggest fight up but he was needed else where. There are no words to describe how heart broken we are."
In a statement Sunderland FC extended its "'love and support" to Bradley's family.
It said: "He had a special relationship with Jermain Defoe and their feelings for each other were evident for all to see. Jermain, naturally, is heartbroken."
Bradley underwent treatment and was in remission, but relapsed last year.
Well-wishers raised more than £700,000 in 2016 to pay for him to be given antibody treatment in New York, but medics then found his cancer had grown and his family was informed his illness was terminal.
In December, Bradley's parents Gemma and Carl, from Blackhall Colliery, County Durham, were told he only had "months to live".
Four months later they were told the latest and final round of his treatment had failed.
He underwent "tumour-shrinking treatment" at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary but the cancer continued to spread.
On 24 May, Mrs Lowery said Bradley had left hospital to start palliative care at home, adding more tumours had been found and further radiotherapy was planned.
Then, on 28 June the family wrote on Facebook: "Bradley is deteriorating fast, his temperature is going very high his breathing very fast his oxygen levels low.
"He is sleeping most the time apart from odd times awake. We knew this was coming but we are heartbroken beyond words."
On 1 July, his family posted a picture of Bradley with Defoe who, after signing for Bournemouth, returned to the North East to see him.
On Thursday, Defoe broke down in tears during a press conference for his new club and said the six-year-old would "always be in my heart".
Bradley became known worldwide following an appeal that saw him receive 250,000 Christmas cards from countries as far away as Australia and New Zealand.
In December, he met England manager Gareth Southgate and Match of the Day pundit Gary Lineker at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year event in Birmingham.
Bradley then won the programme's December goal of the month award after he took a penalty ahead of Sunderland's game against Chelsea.
He has also appeared as a mascot for Everton, who pledged £200,000 to his fundraising campaign, and was visited in hospital by a number of Sunderland players.
A dream came true when he appeared as mascot for the England team at Wembley Stadium before a game that saw Defoe score a goal.
He was also given honorary 41st place in the race card for the Grand National at Aintree in April.
On 30 June a charity single, "Smile For Bradley" by LIV'n'G, entered the singles chart at number 28. All proceeds from the song will go to the Bradley Lowery Foundation, which has been set up in his honour.
Bradley was named Child of Courage at the Pride of North East Awards just days before a party was held to celebrate his sixth birthday, which was attended by Defoe and 250 other well-wishers.
Fewer than 100 children in the UK are diagnosed each year with neuroblastoma and most living with the condition are under the age of five.
Source: NHS Choices
Dr Guy Blanchard, chair of Neuroblastoma UK, said: "All in the neuroblastoma community will be saddened to hear the news of Bradley's death.
"His story raised significant awareness of a disease that is responsible for one in six of all children's cancer deaths.
"Through the world-leading research funded by Neuroblastoma UK, into improving both diagnosis and treatment of the disease, we will find a cure."
Five shots were fired at 15:30 (06:30 GMT) on Saturday when the patrol boat crossed the de facto maritime border, Yonhap, South Korea's largest news agency, said.
North Korea disputes the maritime border in the Yellow Sea and has crossed it before.
Pyongyang called the shooting a "serious provocation".
The North's official KCNA news agency said the boat was conducting a "routine" operation.
In February last year South Korea said a patrol boat from the North had violated the line several times.
And ships from the two countries briefly exchanged fire near Yeonpyeong island last October.
The incident comes as the countries hold the second of two reunions for family members separated by the 1950-53 Korean War.
The reunions taking place this week are only the second round in the past five years.
Watson, who climbs to a career-high 38th in the world rankings, is the first British woman since Anne Hobbs in 1985 to win a second tour title.
The 22-year-old from Guernsey did not drop a set throughout the week.
She now heads to the Australian Open, where she will play Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova in round one on Tuesday.
Watson won her first WTA title in Osaka two years ago, before her career was interrupted by illness.
She began last year ranked 119th in the world following a bout of glandular fever but has since recovered and begun working with Argentine coach Diego Veronelli.
Victory in Hobart means Watson moved 11 places up the world rankings.
"Thanks to my coach Diego. It's been great working with you," she said afterwards.
"We work really hard but we also have fun."
Brengle, the world number 84, was a surprise finalist having come through qualifying, but the 24-year-old made the early running in the final.
After a rain-interrupted semi-final there was another early shower on Saturday, and Watson then survived a 14-minute opening service game that included six break points.
The service struggles continued in the wind and Watson twice fell a break behind but was able to hit back immediately each time, levelling at 3-3 after a scrappy 44 minutes.
Watson then made the decisive move as she reeled off three games to take the set, and after a steadier start to the second she went ahead again at 4-3.
There was a hint of nerves when she slipped 15-30 behind while serving for the match, but Watson closed out the win and headed to the stands to hug coach Veronelli.
"When I won Osaka in 2012, it was more of a surprise," said Watson. "But here, I feel like I belong.
"I'm obviously very happy. It was tough conditions again today, very windy, and I knew Madison would be tough - we know each other very well on and off the court, and we practise a lot in Florida.
"It really was my toughest match of the week. I was happy I stayed mentally strong and managed to get ahead and hold my nerve at the end."
Wall Street and bourses across Europe have been recovering some of the ground since the UK voted last week to leave the European Union.
In Japan, the benchmark Nikkei 225 share index finished 1.6% higher at 15,566.83.
Shares in carmaker Toyota rose by more than 2% despite fresh recalls over faulty airbags.
Other markets across Asia also saw gains, despite the continued uncertainty in the wake of the UK's referendum vote.
Investors are hoping that central banks will step in with more stimulus measures should the global economy weaken.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed 1.3% higher at 20,436.12 while the mainland benchmark Shanghai Composite finished up 0.65% at 2,931.59.
In Australia, the ASX/200 index also closed higher, up 0.8% at 5,142.40. Shares in commodity giants Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton were both up by almost 2%.
In South Korea, the Kospi share index finished 1% higher at 1,956.36.
But a year on from that decision, progress opening the armed forces to transgender Americans has stalled amid delays and attacks from congressional Republicans.
On the eve of the deadline for the Pentagon to begin allowing new transgender recruits, on the first of this month, Defence Secretary James Mattis announced a six-month delay so that the services could "evaluate more carefully" the impact of transgender troops on "readiness and lethality".
Some congressional Republicans celebrated the delay and have since called for the policy to be reversed entirely.
Vicky Hartzler, Republican for Missouri, introduced an amendment at the end of June to the National Defense Authorization Act calling for all transgender service members to be honourably discharged and for funds that would have been used for their medical care to be directed to buying new aircraft.
Several of Ms Hartzler's Republican colleagues spoke in support of her amendment, which she withdrew at the end of the debate but has promised to reintroduce in the House if the Pentagon does not act unilaterally to ban transgender troops.
On Friday, she introduced a new amendment which would bar any military funding from being used to provide medical care related to gender transition, other than for mental health treatment. Her Republican colleague Steve King, Congressman for Iowa, tabled a separate amendment which would ban any funding for gender reassignment surgery or for promotion of what he called the "transgender agenda".
The amendments will go before the rules committee on Wednesday.
Previous NDAA bills have faced similar, unsuccessful amendments, but efforts by Ms Hartzler and others to restrict medical care for transgender service members come amid uncertainty over the future of the open-service policy.
Some conservative advocacy groups praised the decision to delay enlistment by six months. The Family Research Council praised the Pentagon for "hitting the brakes" and called the delay "a good first step" in rolling back inclusive service altogether.
The new administration's interpretation of the policy change has had an unexpected effect for cadets. When the change was ushered in under the Obama administration, it was assumed that military academy trainees would be regarded as active-duty service members and permitted to come out.
But two cadets who graduated last month - one from West Point and the other from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs - were barred from taking up commissions alongside their colleagues and told that they could only join the military in a civil capacity.
Riley Dosh trained for four years at West Point, building towards her graduation in May. She came out in December last year, after the policy change. Then just weeks before her graduation ceremony she was told by the Pentagon she would not be allowed to join the army alongside her colleagues, despite having the full support of her command.
"I was completely blindsided by it," she says. "It was devastating that I'd gone through all of this work and all of these trials and I wasn't going to be allowed to commission. My entire life was planned out for five to 10 years, and suddenly I was going to be unemployed in three weeks."
Ms Dosh is now living with her girlfriend in Fort Hood, looking for work, uncertain about her future. She has no healthcare coverage and is not sure whether the six-month delay applies to her. She has begun transitioning, possibly putting her army career further in doubt.
Brad Carson, a former under secretary of defence under President Obama who led the review of transgender military policy, says cadets were supposed to be protected by the policy change. "When you sign up for the military academies you are in the military. You may not have been commissioned but you are in the military," he says.
"The country has invested hundred of thousands of dollars in educating and training these cadets," he adds. "It doesn't make any sense for the nation, for the military, or for those people themselves if they are going to be excluded. It would be a very disappointing result."
One of those waiting is Logan Downs, who first enlisted in 2013 under his birth name, Christine, but was forced to drop out because of a knee injury. After waiting four years, he was planning to visit a recruiting office on July 5th - the first possible day he could re-enlist after the policy change.
"There's nothing I can do now personally apart from keep waiting," he says. "They might say in six months that it's delayed again, or it'll never happen. It's a waiting game."
In the meantime, he's working as an Uber driver in Vancouver, Washington. He says he trusted that the services wanted the delay "for a good reason". "They're trying to figure out lots of tiny little issues," he says. "The ball is rolling so I'm sure it'll happen."
But the delay effectively returns any transgender person wanting to join up to the controversial "don't ask don't tell" policy applied to gay and lesbian service members under the Clinton administration, says Aaron Belkin, director of the Palm Centre, a think-tank which studies the effect of gender and sexuality on the military,
"It forces applicants to lie, and even though there's no ban on being in the military, anyone who now comes out as transgender will be vulnerable to the question - why didn't you tell us at the time of enlistment?", he says. "That will have a chilling effect on the ability of transgender troops to be honest and to get healthcare."
A 2016 study by the independent Rand Corporation estimated that 2,450 of the 1.2 million active-duty service members are transgender.
Critics of inclusive service have focused on the cost of providing medical care, as well as a possible impact on force readiness and lethality. Ms Hartzler told the House Armed Services Committee that surgery for just 30% of transgender service members alone would cost the Pentagon $1.35 billion over the next 10 years - $135m per year.
That figure is many times over the one provided by the Rand Corporation, which estimated that the total cost of transitions, including hormone treatment and surgery, would be somewhere between $2.4 million and $8.4 million annually - a 0.04% to 0.13% increase on the active duty healthcare budget.
Ms Hartzler's office did not respond to a request for comment.
Advocates of inclusive service point to the fact that 18 militaries around the world, including the UK, Canada and Australia, already allow transgender people to enlist and serve openly.
Matt Thorn, executive director of LGBT advocacy group OutServe, says that any further delay in joining that group would be unacceptable.
"We will be watching very very closely what decisions and actions the Pentagon takes over these next six months. We can understand giving them six more months to continue a review, but we are holding them accountable for implementing the policy in January 2018. We won't tolerate an extra delay."
The French club will be playing their first game since the terrorist attacks in their home city of Paris last weekend.
Racing's opener against Glasgow was among sporting postponements.
"What happened in Paris last weekend has touched everybody, really," said Pivac.
"And certainly, personally, having lived in France and got friends over there it was very, very concerning to see that happen.
"We expect the Racing boys to come over and be very motivated and probably be quite an emotional occasion.
"So we'll be talking about that as a group and making sure we prepare well and put on a good display for what will be a big occasion."
Pivac's side earned a losing bonus point away to Northampton at Franklin's Gardens in round one.
Wales front-row pair Samson Lee and Ken Owens will return for Scarlets after being omitted last weekend because of fitness concerns.
Lee, 22, played five times at the World Cup after recovering from a long-term Achilles tendon injury but has made just one regional appearance since.
But Pivac said the tight-head prop and hooker Owens will face Racing.
"Samson has had a good three weeks off... we are happy to involve him this week so it has been a worthwhile exercise," Pivac said.
"As for Ken, he has a foot injury and he hasn't quite been himself since returning from the World Cup.
"We have scanned that so we know what the issue is and as a result he was left out last weekend.
"He is back this week, but he will get another rest in the near future."
The Scarlets will be without loose-head prop Rob Evans, who suffered a head injury at Franklin's Gardens.
Welsh pair Luke Charteris and Mike Phillips are included in Racing's 27-man squad, while Argentina wing Juan Imhoff makes his first appearance of the season for the Parisians following the World Cup.

The 39-year-old 14-time major winner has not swung a golf club since operations in September and October.
Asked about his return, he said: "I've no answer. Neither does my surgeon or physio. There's no timetable.
"There's nothing I can look forward to, nothing I can build towards. Where's the light at the end of the tunnel? I don't know."
Woods had two operations to alleviate pain from a pinched nerve.
Revealing that he has spent most of his time playing video games, the American said he had not done any rehabilitation work on his back and that physical activities were limited.
"I walk and I walk. I'm just walking, and that's it," said Woods, whose last major victory was at the US Open in 2008.
"It's different from the other surgeries I've had in the past. For nerves there are really no timetables."
Woods, who turns 40 on 30 December, missed the cut at three of the four majors this year and played in only 11 events. He remains on 79 PGA Tour victories.
He played only seven tournaments in 2014, having missed three months of the season after surgery on a pinched nerve in his back in March 2014.
"For my 20 years out here I achieved a lot," he said. "I think pretty much everything beyond this will be gravy. If that's all it entails then I've had a pretty good run. But I'm hoping that's not it.
"I'm hoping I can get out here and compete against these guys. I really do miss it."
He has been named as one of United States captain Davis Love III's assistants for the 2016 Ryder Cup, but said he still hopes to make the team.
Woods has played in seven Ryder Cups, the most recent in 2012 under Love's captaincy.
World number three Rory McIlroy gave Woods his support, posting on social media: "Wishing my idol and friend a speedy recovery. Golf without him doesn't bear thinking about. Hope to see you back on the course soon @tigerwoods."
This is the bleakest picture Woods has ever painted of one of his injuries. He just has to wait for it to heal and it's clearly not done that so far.
He's still saying that he wants to be there at the 2016 Ryder Cup as a player, but with no timetable with regard to his rehabilitation you have to wonder when, and if, he'll come back from this.
If I was a betting man, my money would be on him sitting on a buggy and not having his clubs anywhere near Hazeltine, not just on fitness but on form as well. It's going to be an awful long way back if he's going to make any kind of comeback.
David Dearlove, 70, from Great Yarmouth, is charged with murdering toddler Paul Booth, from Haverton Hill, Stockton, in October 1968.
No plea was entered during the short hearing at Teesside Magistrates' Court, but Mr Dearlove's solicitor indicated he would deny the charge.
He was remanded in custody until a crown court hearing on 16 November.
Adam Hodge, defending, said: "I can say that the matters are denied. There will be a trial."
Mr Hodge said an application for bail would be made at a later date.
Mr Dearlove also faces a charge of neglect between January and October 1968.

Patagonia: Earth's Secret Paradise, which was broadcast in September 2015, showed what appeared to be a volcano erupting.
But it emerged later that the clip included footage from a storm surrounding a different volcano eruption in 2011.
The BBC Trust described the sequence as "potentially misleading".
"The Committee bore in mind the very high regard in which output from the BBC's Natural History Unit is held. They considered this was a serious breach of the editorial guidelines for accuracy," a summary of their findings read.
After the BBC Two programme was aired, the show's producer Tuppence Stone said in a blog post that volcanic eruptions could be difficult to capture on film and so "it requires special techniques to reveal and portray their true extraordinary nature".
"The lightning shots were taken by an award-winning Chilean photographer, of a nearby Patagonian volcano, Cordon Caulle four years earlier during its eruption, using long exposure techniques," she wrote.
"The Cordon Caulle volcano eruption was a very similar event to the Calbuco volcano this year."
It was only when the blog was circulated that the executive producer of the programme and the BBC's head of knowledge commissioning became aware that footage used in the programme was comprised of different events.
The Trust noted in its findings that Ms Stone had not undertaken a training course which was compulsory for all staff working in the BBC Natural History Unit.
BBC management have since made a commitment that senior staff working on future projects will have to complete the training before being allowed to join the corporation's production teams.
A second programme, Human Planet: Deserts - Life In The Furnace, which was also produced by Ms Stone, was also examined in the report.
The episode - originally broadcast in 2011 - included the story of how an infant camel had been killed by wolves.
But producers, having been unable to film a wild wolf for the programme, used a semi-domesticated wolf which had been let off a lead just before filming.
Herdsmen were seen apparently firing at it in the footage.
The BBC Trust noted that it was a historic episode of the programme - which had been made and broadcast before more stringent editorial processes had been introduced.
But they agreed that the output breached the editorial guidelines and that, had it been a current production, it would have raised "significant concerns" about accuracy and misleading audiences.

Nine-week-old lamb Bella, which had been adopted by a Nottinghamshire family, is now believed to have been taken along with year-old border collie Blake.
Blake was found a week ago by a farmer not far from his home.
Police said the lamb was only recently reported stolen.
PC Jeanette Straw of Nottinghamshire Police said they were following up a number of leads, but asked anyone with information to contact police.
She said the pets had escaped when a gate at the property was "presumably left open" but were later seen by a witness being put into a car.
Paula Strudley of FindUKDogs, which searches for lost pets, is coordinating a Facebook page set up to find Bella and is convinced is still alive.
"A farmer from Lincolnshire was out with her children to get an ice cream when she saw the dog," she said.
"She found Blake, who was running around loose, and returned him to the family, but there is still no sign of Bella," she said.
"#FindUKdogs have some leads and have shared them with the police - but we are not able to reveal names or addresses as don't want them to hide the lamb."
Bella's owner Natalie Haywood said that the two pets were "the best of friends, she follows him around everywhere".
Farmers in the area are being urged to look for any lambs that do not belong to them and the general public is asked to take a photograph of any lamb they think might be Bella.

Tantum Rosa is an anti-inflammatory medicine manufactured in Poland.
The raids by health officials, thought to be the UK's first for the product, followed police reports of teenagers allegedly high on the drug vandalising a local cemetery.
Southampton Trading Standards said the medicine was safe if used correctly.
But it was not licensed for sale in the UK.
Danio Polish Shop, in St Mary's Road, Southampton, had been found selling Tantum Rosa by the police, Trading Standards and the government's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Other shops visited were told to remove other medical products.
Hampshire Constabulary called the operation "a success".
Southampton resident Ella Porawska, from Poland, said she was "shocked" Tantum Rosa, a soluble powder, was being misused by teenagers.
She said: "I was really surprised that somebody can sell them these products."
Danny Lee-Frost, from the MHRA, said he was "concerned" the medicine was being used as a recreational drug.
He said: "Because it is labelled in Polish, people who get hold of it won't be aware of what the ingredients are if they do attempt to misuse it."
He added: "We'd like to see this product removed from all shelves in the UK and this is the first step in our efforts in doing that."

The Dons shipped three goals in a frantic opening 11 minutes before Jonny Hayes pulled one back.
"But for that 10 minutes, we could have won the game," McInnes said.
"As bizarre as it sounds - you can't give Celtic a three-goal head start and expect to get anything - we had chance after chance, so we actually could have."
Hayes' sumptuous strike came after Dedryck Boyata, Stuart Armstrong and Leigh Griffiths earned the visitors a quick-fire lead.
Aberdeen were also denied a penalty when Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon felled Graeme Shinnie in the away box.
"We should get a penalty - big decision, it needs a big referee to make that decision and we didn't have that tonight," McInnes told BBC Scotland.
"For me, it was a stonewall penalty and we had plenty of the game left to really go and rattle them further."
Aberdeen have now lost all four league encounters with the Scottish Premiership champions this season and were comfortably beaten by Celtic in November's League Cup final.

Wavertree councillor Jake Morrison, who was elected in 2011 at the age of 18, said he will "retire" in May.
The now 22-year-old posted a statement on Facebook but does not give a reason for his decision.
However, he told the BBC he is disillusioned with the culture of politics, both locally and nationally.
Mr Morrison's decision comes a year after he was involved in a row with Labour MP Luciana Berger.
He was suspended by Labour after the Merseyside MP complained about his "complete lack of teamwork".
But he said the well-publicised disagreement was not the reason behind his decision to resign, and also abandon his ambition to become an MP.
"I don't want people to think that I don't like Luciana and that's why I'm not going to do this anymore," he said.
"It's difficult to explain without providing evidence, but I've suffered attacks on my character. Rather than focusing on my work, people have tried to discredit me.
"I've done enough to be confident that I've made a difference. But I don't think that the tactics and dirty games that are going on help anyone."
Mr Morrison added that he was "tired" of sitting in meetings in which councillors seemed preoccupied with "point scoring".
"Local and national politics is consumed with people simply trying to get one over on each other," he said.
They will each be subject to a £1.5m spending limit and other rules in the run up to the vote, the Electoral Commission said.
They were designated as "lead campaigners" following an application process.
Voters in Scotland go to the polls in the referendum on 18 September.
They will be asked the Yes/No question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"
Yes Scotland, the campaign group for independence, and Better Together, which backs the Union, will also have access to specific benefits during the regulated referendum period which runs from 30 May to 18 September.
These include a free delivery of campaign material to voters, referendum broadcasts and the use of public rooms.
Scottish Electoral Commissioner John McCormick, said: "Following careful consideration of their applications, the Electoral Commission has designated Yes Scotland and Better Together as lead campaigners for each side at the Scottish referendum.
"Both campaigners set out clearly how they will ensure their campaigns will reach voters across Scotland and we are grateful for the constructive way that they each engaged with the commission during the designation process."
Anyone intending to spend more than £10,000 during the referendum period is required to register with the Electoral Commission.
The festival website is also advising people to arrive on Thursday or Friday when queues are expected to be shorter.
"As a general rule, we would ask you to only bring as much as you can carry yourself," it said ahead of the festival, where gates open on 21 June.
Car park entertainment and facilities for early arrivals are also shelved.
Normally, the organisers put on entertainment for people who arrive early, from 21:00 BST on Tuesday prior to the festival gates being opened on the Wednesday at 08:00 BST.
Organisers have now warned that those who arrive before the gates open will "be expected to remain in their cars".
The website statement added: "For security reasons, all ticket holders will be subject to extra searches of their vehicles, their bags and their person at this year's Festival.
"This will make entrance slower than in previous years."
Organisers have also asked people to put luggage tags on all their bags, with their names and mobile numbers and to avoid wrapping their belongings in thick plastic wrap as they need to be removed for checks.

Joyce Mitchell, 52, provided inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat with tools that allowed them to break through the wall of their cell to freedom.
Mitchell sobbed in court on Monday, saying she made a "horrible mistake".
Matt and Sweat escaped on 6 June, sparking a huge three-week manhunt across New York and Vermont.
Hundreds of police officers scoured the remote wooded areas near the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York.
"A large portion of the local population were terrorised," Judge Kevin Ryan said on Monday. "Many were forced to flee their homes."
The inmates stayed together for week,s sleeping outside and hiding in vacation homes, but they eventually separated.
Both men had been serving life sentences at the maximum-security prison when they escaped.
Matt, who had escaped from prison before, was convicted of dismembering his former employer while Sweat had been found guilty of killing a sheriff's deputy.
Matt was shot and killed by police officers on 26 June after he was spotted fleeing a cabin near the Canadian border with New York.
Sweat was wounded and captured two days later.
In addition to smuggling blades and other tools, Mitchell had planned to drive the getaway car, but she backed out the day of the escape.
Mitchell had said Matt and Sweat said they would kill her husband, who also worked at the prison, if she did not co-operate. However, the judge said he did not find that "explanation credible".
Prosecutors had alleged that Mitchell helped the pair because she was having a sexual relationship with Matt.
Mitchell was arrested shortly after the escape and aided investigators in the manhunt. She accepted a plea deal with prosecutors rather than face trial.
"If I could take it all back, I would," she told the judge. "I never intended for any of this to happen."
The 150-year-old Grade I listed building is partly sinking, contains asbestos and has outdated cabling.
An Independent Options Appraisal (IOA) report, compiled by industry experts and due on Thursday, will set out scenarios for its refurbishment.
It is expected to include suggestions for Parliament's temporary relocation.
A report in 2012 warned that "major, irreversible damage" may be done to the building unless significant restoration work is carried out.
Another previous report concluded the cost of maintenance is such that if the Palace of Westminster, as the building is also known, was a commercial structure of no historical significance, it would be cost-effective to demolish it and rebuild using modern construction techniques.
Leader of the Commons Chris Grayling said last week the building was "a vital heart to our democracy".
"There are some interesting and difficult challenges ahead, some difficult decisions to take," he told MPs.
"But I would say to the House that instinctively I think it is important that this building remains consistently at the heart of our democracy and that we don't end up being forced to move somewhere else."
According to the BBC's Robin Brant, there have been suggestions that while a full restoration will cost at least £3bn, taxpayers may have to pay double that if MPs decide they want to stay while the work goes on.
One option would be to set up temporarily over the road, by moving to either the Methodist Central Hall or the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre.
Some have suggested MPs could relocate to Birmingham - or hold a touring parliament, our correspondent added.
The majority of the historic building was built in the 1840s and 1850s as a replacement for a previous amalgamation of buildings which burnt down in 1834.
However, the Westminster Hall section of the parliamentary estate was constructed in the 11th Century.
The Commons chamber was destroyed in the blitz in 1941 and after some debate it was decided that it should be rebuilt in exactly the same style after the war.
The entire building is now a World Heritage Site.
A select committee of both the House of Commons and House of Lords is expected to be formed to consider the findings of the IOA and make recommendations to members of both Houses.
The Comres survey for BBC local radio found 64% of the 500 parents questioned said their child did not attend daily acts of collective worship.
But 60% of the 1,743 adults asked said the legislation should not be enforced.
Some schools were opting to teach pupils about community rather than religion, said educationalists.
The Department for Education states that all maintained schools in England must provide a daily act of collective worship which must reflect the traditions of this country, which it says are, in the main, broadly Christian.
Parents have the right to withdraw their child from the daily act of collective worship and sixth-formers can decide for themselves whether or not to attend.
Comres spoke to 1,743 adults during the survey, including 500 parents, and found 60% believe the daily act of collective worship should not be enforced.
The Bishop of Oxford, the Right Reverend John Pritchard, said doing daily worship in schools was an "important statement".
"What we believe as a country is important in the education of our young people, so I think it is an important statement that the country makes to its schools and says will you please do this," he said.
"If schools refuse to do that, or fail to, then I think they need to be encouraged to do it, I wouldn't use the word enforced though at all."
The National Secular Society said group worship amounted to a breach of human rights.
In a statement the group said: "England is the only country in the western world to enforce participation in daily worship in community schools.
"To do so goes beyond the legitimate function of the state and is an abuse of children's human rights, especially those who are old enough to make decisions for themselves."
A spokesman for the Church of England said the law stated schools provide collective worship and the church supported that.
He said: "It provides an important chance for the school to focus on promoting the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of its pupils.
"Collective worship is when pupils of all faiths and none come together to reflect - it should not be confused with corporate worship when everyone is of the same belief."
Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) chief policy advisor Alison Ryan questioned how much schools and parents wanted daily worship.
"People are concerned about inclusivity, how much is it wanted by parents, pupils or even the staff themselves?
"When a law is being flouted on a pretty major scale that is telling you something about its use, about how maybe it should be reformed or changed, so we believe it needs to be looked at."
Martin Cooper, deputy head teacher of Mile Oak School, near Brighton, said fulfilling the government's worship requirement was difficult.
"Having a pressure within an Ofsted expectation to be seen doing the daily act of worship, in the way they want it to be every day is challenging," he said.
"In a school like ours, there isn't a great Christian ethos, so the message has to be a social one really.
"It has to be the message about how they are going to behave."
Elaine Smith, head teacher at St Matthews Church of England Primary school in Blackburn, where 96% of the pupils are Muslims, said talking about faith regularly was beneficial.
She said: "The majority of the pupils are children of faith and talk very openly about religion.
"The staff who are practising Christians or Muslims talk to the children and a bond is formed, which perhaps wouldn't be there if they didn't have the collective worship."
The National Association of Standing Advisory Councils on Religious Education (NASACRE) advises schools on daily collective worship.
Bruce Gill, from the association, said school assemblies did not have to be church-led, but could teach about community and responsibility.
"It's an important role in these times when we are worried about community values and people's sense of community," he said.
"We try to get people to look beyond the materialistic life and material gratification and I think we will regret it greatly if we continue the trend of losing it."
Of 100,000 tickets, 27,746 were sold to residents for 2014's event.
Fiona Twycross, of London Assembly's Labour group, said the situation was "ridiculous" as local taxpayers "foot the bill" for the event.
But City Hall said the figures were "broadly in line" with estimates for previous years.
Mayor Boris Johnson introduced ticketing last year to try and control large crowds.
Tickets sold out in advance and some appeared on resale websites at almost 20 times their value.
Ms Twycross said Mr Johnson's new system meant "thousands of Londoners" had missed out on the "iconic" celebrations.
"What we need for this year is for at least half the tickets to be reserved for Londoners," she added.
A City Hall spokesperson said ticketing was introduced to make sure the event was "sustainable and safe".
They said the numbers at previous events meant many Londoners were "unable to see anything" and that by issuing tickets, the city's residents were "guaranteed a view".
The hosts' five-wicket win in Centurion sets up a decider on Sunday.
Heather Knight top-scored with 61 and captain Charlotte Edwards made 45, but Sarah Taylor was out for a duck in her 100th ODI as England scored 262-9.
In reply, Laura Wolfvaardt (55) and Trisha Chetty (66) put on 113 and Lizelle Lee (69) and Marizanne Kapp (44) 112 as the hosts sealed victory.
England now need to win the final game to emerge with a victory from Mark Robinson's first series as head coach.
Knight and Edwards rebuilt England's innings with a stand of 78 after South Africa took three early wickets, including Taylor for a second-ball duck.
Edwards was dismissed by leg-spinner Sune Luus, who took a tough caught-and-bowled chance.
Knight smashed the first six of the innings after reaching her half-century but was soon out for 61.
England were still struggling to reach a par score but Danielle Wyatt, who hit a six in a 27-ball 40, and Katherine Brunt and Anya Shrubsole added 94 from the last 10 overs.
Star bowler Brunt, who went into the match on 99 ODI wickets, was able to bowl just five overs because of a back spasm and the Proteas took advantage as 16-year-old Wolfvaardt and wicketkeeper Chetty both made half-centuries.
Knight eventually made the breakthrough, having Wolfvaardt caught by substitute fielder Kate Cross, and when Hazell removed Chetty and Mignon du Preez with successive balls England fancied their chances.
But Kapp and Lee tucked into some average bowling in Brunt's absence, and although both fell late on, Dane van Niekerk got the hosts over the line with seven balls to spare.
Ex-England batter Ebony Rainford-Brent on BBC Test Match Special:
"South African cricket is really on the up. They've had success in Twenty20 but to do it in 50-over cricket as well is different. This is a massive result for them because England have the better resources.
"England were outplayed in all facets. South Africa started and finished the game with a bang and looked the better team.
"England couldn't take wickets. They bowled tidily but there was no potency which is a concern for the side.
"They want to impress because they have a new coach but for the bowling to get taken to the cleaners, I think this will really hurt England."
All three matches count towards the ICC Women's Championship which determines qualification for the 2017 World Cup.

Nicholas Churton, 67, was found dead at an address in Crescent Close on Monday.
On Thursday, officers from North Wales Police were given a further 36 hours to question 25-year-old Jordan Davidson in connection with the death.
A post-mortem examination showed Mr Churton died of significant head injuries.
North Wales Police said Mr Churton, former owner of Churtons wine bar in Rossett, lived alone at the property and was a "vulnerable man".
A 27-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, a 19-year-old women and a 51-year-old man arrested on suspicion of robbery and assisting an offender, have been bailed pending further enquiries.
The request was made earlier at the opening of an inquest into the death of Jermaine Baker, 28, who was shot by an officer in Wood Green on 11 December.
The Police Federation has warned Met firearms officers could refuse to carry guns if their colleague is charged.
A coroner at North London Coroner's Court has adjourned the inquest.

The brief hearing was told Mr Baker died at 09:39 GMT on 11 December of a single gunshot wound.
He was shot during a police operation to foil an alleged attempt to spring two convicts from a custody van on its way to Wood Green Crown Court.
The firearms officer involved has not been named publicly but has asked the court to consider holding a second post-mortem examination on Wednesday.
Mr Baker's girlfriend Tia Demetrio and other members of his family were present at the inquest opening and the coroner expressed his "deepest sympathies" to the family, BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw reports.
An investigation into the fatal shooting by the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, is ongoing.
Luke Leahy missed a penalty for Falkirk in the second half, rattling the left post after Lee Miller was up-ended.
It took 115 minutes to provide a breakthrough with a scrambled effort from the outstanding Harkins.
Ayr keeper Greg Fleming then produced a wonderful save to allow the hosts to hang on and avoid a penalty shootout.
Reduced prices tempted just 1,247 souls to Somerset Park, and they witnessed a first half short on thrills.
Scott Shepherd's low shot for Falkirk was straight at keeper Fleming, while United came closest with a fiery effort from Harkins.
It was little better after the break, despite a turn and shot from Allan Forrest which produced a fine save from Falkirk goalkeeper Deniz Dogan Mehmet.
After Leahy's penalty miss, a shootout appeared inevitable before Harkins struck five minutes from the end of extra time.
Villa looked on their way to a comfortable win after Jonathan Kodjia's stunning first-half left-foot curler, his first goal for the club.
But Dean Smith's Bees stayed in the game and had the character to hit back.
From Sullay Kaikai's neat chip to the far post, Villa failed to clear their lines and Egan stole in to equalise.
Having been denied victory on Sunday only by the woodwork and the brilliance of Nottingham Forest keeper Vladimir Stojkovic, Villa appeared eager to make amends.
But it still took a flash of brilliance from new signing Kodjia to get them on their way on 19 minutes.
The striker took a pass from Mile Jedinak down the right, worked his way to the edge of the area and hit a left-foot shot which curled beautifully into the far-left corner.
Josh Clarke then fired over the bar from close range for Brentford in a flurry of chances for the Bees.
But, for all the hard running and tackling in midfield, epitomised by former Shrewsbury Town midfielder Ryan Woods, they lacked a cutting edge.
By contrast, Villa did have chances, as Kodjia got on the end of Jordan Ayew's cross, Ayew shot over with a left-foot curler and Kodjia brought a save out of keeper Daniel Bentley.
But the introduction of Crystal Palace loan man Kaikai brought its rewards for boyhood Villa fan Smith.
Kaikai had already caused concern in the home ranks before he cut back onto his right foot to curl over a cross in the 88th minute, from which Egan managed to force the ball home.
Aston Villa manager Roberto di Matteo told BBC Sport:
"We need to be more clinical in front of goal, we could have scored five on Sunday. But most of all we also need to see games out.
"We allowed them to get too much of the ball in the second half and we got a bit nervous in the last 10 minutes. We just need to win. Win ugly, or attractive. It doesn't matter.
"Jack Grealish could not play as he had a problem with his hamstring, Ross McCormack has knock on his knee and Richie de Laet got a knock clearing the ball at the far post. He is in a lot of pain and we will have to see about him."
Brentford boss Dean Smith told BBC Sport:
"It was the least we deserved. We'd have been very disappointed to go away without getting something.
"I was disappointed with their goal. But I suppose that's what £15m gets you and it was a good finish.
"Everyone knows I was a Villa fan growing up in Great Barr as a boy and to come here as a manager was a great experience but, if we'd lost, it would have meant nothing. My mates who are all Villa fans asked me if I'd celebrate and I think I gave them the answer."

Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, he said to MPs "we have all been guilty" of leading campaigns against them in the past.
But he said the focus should be on "ensuring everyone is connected to the information super highway".
His comments prompted speculation a law change could be in next week's Budget.
The issue was raised by Conservative MP Andrew Murrison, who said the UK's superfast broadband connectivity was "relatively poor" and businesses in rural areas, in particular, were losing out from patchy coverage.
The PM said the number of homes able to access superfast broadband - defined as providing download speeds in excess of 24 Mbps - had doubled since 2010. But he said more needed to be done, suggesting objections to new masts motivated by so-called Nimbyism had to stop.
"I think this is something for members right across the House. Ten years ago we were all rather guilty of leading campaigns against masts and the rest of it," he said.
"Our constituents now want coverage for the internet, they want coverage for mobile phones.
"We need to make sure we change the law in all the ways necessary to make sure... the masts are built, we increase coverage and we ensure everyone is connected to the information superhighway."
The government says it is on track to meet its goals of providing superfast broadband coverage to 90% of the UK by early 2016 and 95% by December 2017 although critics have accused ministers of moving the targets to guarantee compliance.

With England looking for an opener to partner Alastair Cook, Moeen was out for seven and 12 against Pakistan A as the tourists batted through the day in Sharjah regardless of wickets lost.
Alex Hales was out for nine, while Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes both fell for nought as England mustered 198-11.
James Taylor impressed with 61 after initially retiring for 45.
Ian Bell also retired at lunch for 53, with captain Alastair Cook and vice-captain Joe Root not batting after spending time in the middle during the first warm-up.
Pakistan A had posted 192 for the loss of 12 wickets on day one, so while the match is officially classed as a draw, the result was rendered meaningless by an arrangement that saw both sides bat for a day each.
However, meaning can certainly be attached to the failures of Moeen and Hales as England look to install Cook's seventh opening partner since Andrew Strauss retired in 2012.
Moeen, still most likely to open in the first Test in Abu Dhabi starting on Tuesday, followed his 22 in the first warm-up game earlier in the week by edging to second slip, then returning later in the day to be trapped lbw.
Hales, in his first innings of the tour, was unable to capitalise on Moeen's struggle as a flat-footed drive saw him edge to first slip, the first of four wickets for left-arm seamer Mir Hamza.
Taylor, also featuring for the first time on the tour, pressed his claim, but still seems unlikely to displace Bairstow, who made 66 in the opening Tour match, in the middle order.
Wicketkeeper Jos Buttler spent some much-needed time in the middle, albeit in his second innings of the day, with 39, but Stokes has made only six runs across the two warm-up matches.
"Moeen and Hales got off the mark comfortably in the first over, but after that both were unconvincing. Moeen had several wafts outside the off stump and, two balls before he was out, edged through the slips.
"After he was held at second slip off Junaid Khan, all eyes were on Hales, but he edged with a flat-footed drive. Moeen walked off holding his helmet in his hands, while Hales looked in the direction of the press box. Both realised it was an opportunity missed."
"My city has turned to ruins," she says.
Despite being in constant danger, forced out of her home twice by shelling and living without regular supplies of electricity or water, this 22-year-old has refused to give up being a student.
Four years ago, she had just left school and begun at the University of Aleppo when it was hit by rockets, killing dozens of students around her.
"I saw my friends killed and still now I can't forget what happened," Mariam says.
"I saw a lot of students hurt and injured. There was blood, death. Everything was terrible."
There was intense danger at home too.
"I came so near to death many times," Mariam says.
"My family and I rented a house that was only 500m from the front lines, and a lot of rockets fell in my neighbourhood.
"Many of my neighbours were killed, and mortars hit my home twice."
She remembers waking during an attack, unable to see in the dust and darkness and not knowing who was alive or dead.
Mariam talks of life in Aleppo becoming a mix of "horror and danger".
"I was crying so much when I saw my city in front of my eyes, everything destroyed," she says.
But her reaction has been to stubbornly carry on and to use her studies as a way of honouring those who have died.
She became an online student in a warzone, following a degree course run by the US-based University of the People, making a conscious decision to be "optimistic" and to make plans to "rebuild".
But this is far from straightforward, she says over a patchy Skype line.
"The hardest thing about being a student in Aleppo? Actually, it's being alive," Mariam says.
There are still occasional rockets and mortar blasts, despite a ceasefire, but there are also big practical problems that would have put off a less determined student.
"We haven't had electricity for two years," she says.
Instead, people rely on generators that might operate for a few hours at a time.
Mariam goes to a local shop with a small generator, where it can take 12 hours to charge up her mobile phone and an old laptop, and then she ekes out the charge so she can study.
Internet connections are sporadic and weak - and when an exam was approaching, there was an internet blackout.
Worried that she would be failed, Mariam began to make preparations to travel to Damascus to find a way of sitting the exam.
Even by the standards of a civil war, she says, this would have been extremely dangerous, but friends managed to make contact with the university, and she was able to re-arrange the exam.

Heat and light are daily challenges, particularly in winter, with temperatures in Aleppo below freezing this week.
Water is available only every three or four weeks. "When we have water, we store huge amounts," she says, filling every container.
There have been long battles between government and rebel armies in Aleppo, but there are also forces of the so-called Islamic State not far from the city.
Mariam says they tried to cut a road to the city a few days ago - but she says there is also the battle of ideas and the need to protect the right to education.
Their presence makes her even more determined to keep studying.
While the high technology of war has rained down on Syria, this young woman has to study at night by candlelight.
But she doesn't complain. Instead, she talks with understated longing for one single "normal day" as a student.
And what would she do with it?
"I want to do a lot of things in this day," she says.
"I want to go to my university like any normal student. I want to go with my friends. I want to sit with my family."
She pauses. "And I want to see everyone I lost," she says.
But in the face of such awful destruction, why is she worrying about getting a degree?
Mariam says the experience of war has made education seem even more important - something positive that links people to the chance of rebuilding a better life.
"We have this strong motivation to seek it no matter what," she says.
"You can see that in young children going to their schools, even though they can be hit at any time."
"Education was always important in my life.
"It gives me hope that I can have a better future.
"It will help me to rebuild my country and everything that's been destroyed."
Mariam is studying a business degree with the University of the People, based in California, which supports people around the world who otherwise would not have access to university - including 15 students in Aleppo.
The online university, backed by the likes of the Gates Foundation, Hewlett Packard and Google, offers accredited four-year degree courses, taught by volunteer academics and retired university staff.
The university's president, Shai Reshef, says: "We are an alternative for those who have no other alternative."
Mariam sees her studying as a kind of lifeline and source of hope - and she says any other students around the world should appreciate the chances they have.
She can only dream of having a "normal life like them".
"I hope that whoever sees my story will not be discouraged by difficulties they face," she says.
"I believe that after every hardship comes a great rebirth, and in honour of ever friend, neighbour and Syrian who lost his life due to this war, we must stay optimistic."
And if that faith wavers?
"If I feel down, my mother says to me, 'This will pass.'"
Sangeeta Kashyap was recruited as a biology teacher in the central state of Madhya Pradesh in 1990.
School authorities say they do not know when she was last paid a salary, but she is still listed as an employee.
State education officials told the BBC the teacher would be removed from her post. She is thought to have set an Indian record for staff absenteeism.
Ms Kashyap spent her first year teaching in a school in the town of Dewas, after which she took three years of leave.
In 1994, she was transferred to a school in the city of Indore but then applied for maternity leave and has never turned up for work.
Letters sent by the school to her address have remained unanswered, Sushma Vaishya, principal of the Government Ahilya Ashram School in Indore, said.
An education department official said they had written to education authorities in the state capital, Bhopal, to have Ms Kashyap removed from her post.
"I have no idea why nothing was done. We are writing to them again to remove her," Sanjay Goel told BBC Hindi's Shuraih Niyaazi.
The school is allowed to have three biology teachers, but only two are filled - with the third held by the absentee teacher.
Correspondents say absenteeism is a pervasive problem in government-run schools in India.
A World Bank study in 2004 found that 25% of teachers were absent from school, and only about half were present during unannounced visits to government primary schools.
Ms Kashyap's whereabouts remain unknown and she has not commented on the reports about her in the Indian press.
It is also not clear why she did not return to work or if she has been working elsewhere - correspondents say the fact her post remained empty for so long says little for the competence of education officials.
Mullaney scored a 75-ball 111 as Notts chased an English 50-over record target of 371 against Essex to reach Lord's.
"I feel like the two best white-ball teams in the country are in the final," Mullaney told BBC Nottingham Sport.
"It will be a great spectacle. Surrey are a great side."
Mullaney's maiden List A hundred in the thrilling win over Essex at Chelmsford sees Notts return to the home of cricket with the aim of lifting a trophy for the first time since victory in the YB40 final against Glamorgan four year ago.
"We are absolutely buzzing to get to Lord's," Mullaney added. "It's always a special occasion. We tasted victory in 2013 and it's great to be back.
"We have played two great games down at Somerset and at Chelmsford to get there. We will have to be at our best but if we hit our straps and play well then we can win."
Head coach Peter Moores says Mullaney has played such a huge part in the run to the final.
"Steve's Notts through and through and he loves it. He is a fantastic cricketer who bowls bats and fields," Moores said. "He played one of the innings of his life against Essex.
"He has been a stalwart of the season through injury and since he has got back he has played superbly."
"Surrey are a very good side as we saw against Worcester. But if we play like we can we will be tough opposition.
"We have a put a lot of work in over the winter - the coaches, support staff and players.
"We are coming to the business end of the season with trophies up for grabs and it's great to be in the final."
And it was all down to the astonishing incompetence of two hitmen who attacked the wrong victim for just £1,000 each.
Aamir Siddiqi innocently answered his door expecting to see his local imam for a Koran lesson. Instead he was confronted by two balaclava-clad knifemen who pushed their way in and stabbed him to death.
The attackers, Ben Hope and Jason Richards, wielded daggers over their heads and howled as they set upon helpless Aamir.
He was the wrong target in the wrong house.
His sister Miriam has described 11 April, 2010, as "a normal lazy Sunday morning" at the family home in the city's Roath suburb. She and her husband, who had stayed over the previous night, had not long left to pick up a takeaway for Aamir.
The 17-year-old was revising upstairs at home in Ninian Road when the doorbell rang. The bright, ambitious A-level student wanted to become a lawyer and was hoping to read law at Cardiff University after sitting his exams that coming summer.
Aamir was expecting his Koran teacher that afternoon and called to his parents Iqbal and Parveen Ahmad that he would answer the door.
But instead of the imam come to teach religious texts, there stood Richards and Hope, masked and fuelled up on heroin.
They murdered Aamir before he had the chance to say a word.
After realising in those first awful seconds that it was not a joke or an attempted robbery, his parents leapt to his defence.
Mr Ahmad said during Hope and Richards' trial that he used all his strength to try to push one attacker away from Aamir but he was not strong enough. He was slashed twice and left bleeding.
The other attacker chased Aamir into the dining room. Mrs Ahmad jumped onto his back and grabbed his jacket but she was also cut with the knife.
Throughout the attack, the pair were howling and making a "terrifying noise", likened to martial arts practitioners trying to scare an opponent.
As they fled, Mrs Ahmad tried to call 999 but had a problem with the phone. She ran into the street and begged for help from passers-by. They called the emergency services, who arrived and tried to save Aamir's life, but to no avail.
The teenager, loved and cherished by all who knew him, was pronounced dead in hospital shortly after.
No enemies
His family could make no sense of the dreadful events that had shattered their lives within seconds. They had no enemies; Aamir had no enemies. Who would want to kill him?
The awful truth was no-one did. In an act described by the prosecution as one of "staggering incompetence", the killers, hired by a businessman in an act of revenge over a property deal that turned sour, had gone to the wrong house and stabbed the wrong man.
Richards and Hope's intended target lived in nearby Shirley Road, in a similar-looking house just 70 yards (64m) from where Aamir lived with his family.
The hapless pair had been paid just £1,000 each to murder a stranger in cold blood, money which Hope had spent within 24 hours on a laptop and trainers.
The bungled crime robbed a mother, father, three sisters and a community of friends of a young, gifted man who was "kind, humorous, fun-loving and caring".
As Aamir's mother said in the moments after his death: "Nothing is valuable now."
Just across his home, a bench now stands in Roath Park where Aamir spent many happy hours playing football with friends.
There is no hint at the tragedy that struck so suddenly that fated day.
The inscription simply reads: "In the memory of Aamir Siddiqi, June 1992 - April 2010. May God enter you in paradise."
It comes after pictures of the feast, held in the southern province of Guangxi in 2015, resurfaced online in recent days and caused anger.
But Guangxi officials have reportedly denied the allegations.
The pangolin is on China's list of endangered wild animals.
Those caught eating it can be jailed for up to 10 years.
In recent days a post by Weibo user Ah_cal from July 2015 began circulating online.
In the post, which has since been deleted, Ah_cal included several pictures of what appears to be a lavish Chinese banquet and a close-up photo of a pot of cooked meat.
The Weibo user said he was hosted to a meal by officials where "cooked pangolin was served to us to eat".
"It was my first time eating it, the taste was very good, and I have already deeply fallen in love with this taste of wildlife!" he says in the post.
It attracted widespread condemnation online, and Chinese forestry officials have since said they are probing the incident, reported Chinese media.
News outlets have identified the Weibo user as a Hong Kong businessman who visited the city of Nanning in Guangxi as part of a group of entrepreneurs exploring investment opportunities.
The Guangxi Investment Promotion Bureau has since confirmed that it hosted the business delegation in 2015, but denied it held the banquet.
"We have diligently identified the diners in the photographs, and none of them belong to Guangxi Investment Promotion Bureau's leadership or its staff," a spokesman told newspaper Chengdu Shangbao.
A commentary carried by the Chinese Communist Party's official mouthpiece People's Daily raised the possibility that other provincial government departments could have hosted the banquet.
It also lambasted the Guangxi authorities. "The pangolin's scales are so hard, while the response from officials is so weak - with such a clear contrast, it is hard to dispel the doubts that have broken out," it said.
The pangolin is the world's most trafficked mammal - pangolins are believed to make up around 20% of all illegal trade in species.
In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that consuming the roasted scales of the pangolin can help to detoxify one's body and relieve palsy, while the animal's meat is considered a luxurious delicacy.
In September, the animal received extra protections at the Cites meeting where trade in eight species of pangolins was banned.
But while the mill in Shepton Mallet, Somerset faces closure, another cider mill, just 20 miles up the road is busy installing new cider tanks worth more than £3m.
So why is one cider-maker sparkling with success, whilst another is scraping the barrel for survival? Their fortunes reveal not just what's changing in cider, but in tastes and fashions.
The difference is ownership - the first is owned by multinational Dublin-based C&C Group and the second by family firm Thatchers.
Union leaders insist the C&C plant in Shepton Mallet is profitable and criticised the decision to relocate to Ireland. Steve Preddy, from Unite, said the mill made 17m euros (£13m) last year.
He said: "It is quite clear the workers are being sacrificed to generate cash for the company."
Shepton's mill is one of C&C's three plants working, I am told, at just 34% capacity - so like any sensible business, it has shut two.
The survivor just happens to be located in Clonmel, County Tipperary, where C&C was born.
Cider, the firm claims, has got tough. It said in a statement: "The trading environment in the UK and Ireland has been intensely competitive over recent years."
But cider insiders see a deeper story. Alan Stone, who has written several books, runs the cider competitions at the Bath & West Show and is vice-chairman of the Shepton Mallet Chamber of Commerce.
He said: "It is quite clear that C&C ran down the marketing operation behind Blackthorn and Olde English, hoping people would switch to Magners, the firm's Irish brand.
"But in the West Country, people just moved to Thatchers and the new craft ciders instead."
And drive just 20 miles to the small North Somerset village of Sandford and you see what Mr Stone means.
It's called Myrtle Farm - a farmhouse surrounded by orchards. But Martin Thatcher's grandfather would not recognise the enormous steel-framed buildings that house the kegging plant, the dozens of articulated lorries constantly loading in the yard, or the latest addition: shiny new tanks.
Mr Thatcher is the fourth generation in his family to make cider, and he is very proud of his new tanks. Stainless steel, about 50ft (15m) high, each holding 250,000 litres of cider at precise temperatures. There are 18 of them, with space in the new building for another 36. The total investment is over £3.5m.
"We now make as much cider in a day as we did in a year when I first joined the business 25 years ago," Mr Thatcher said.
Last year Thatchers sold over 100 million pints (57 million litres), up 10%. But, he insisted, the process had not fundamentally changed.
"We make cider just the same way as my grandfather did. We use Somerset apples: my favourite is the Somerset Redstreak, which we juice and then ferment. No concentrates, no added sugar, just juice."
Thatchers is very careful with this process. The company have seen what the market likes, and it is a traditional story. Last year the firm planted 50,000 apple trees. It all seems very laudable. But it is also where the money is.
Ten years ago cider began to boom. If you thought cider was a cheap, rustic drink offering lots of alcohol and a bad hangover, you were re-educated by saturation advertising. Orchards, apples, cold golden nectar on hot summer days.
It worked. Sales rose by 24% between 2006 and 2011. But it also changed the market. Today, the supermarkets want more premium, artisan ciders, and only a few mass-produced brands at knock-down prices. Tesco now stocks 60% more varieties than it did in 2001.
Today Somerset has over 60 small cider-makers, producing relatively small quantities of distinctive cider, usually in eye-catching bottles.
Some go back generations, like the Hecks family from Street, who have been at it for 175 years. Others are new arrivals, like Neil Worley who makes cider almost single-handed in half-timbered barns he rents just outside Shepton Mallet.
Mr Worley said: "We're part of a change in how people like their food and drink. Everyone wants to know where stuff comes from, how it's made. I don't really think you can become the size of an enormous cider maker and still make cider the way we make it, it's not physically possible."
However, research is divided, with other studies suggesting copper may actually protect the brain.
The latest study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed high levels of copper left the brain struggling to get rid of a protein thought to cause the dementia.
Copper is a vital part of our diet and necessary for a healthy body.
Tap water coming through copper pipes, red meat and shellfish as well as fruit and vegetables are all sources of dietary copper.
The study on mice, by a team at the University of Rochester in New York, suggested that copper interfered with the brain's shielding - the blood brain barrier.
Mice that were fed more copper in their water had a greater build-up of the metal in the blood vessels in the brain.
The team said this interfered with the way the barrier functioned and made it harder for the brain to get rid of a protein called beta amyloid.
One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the formation of plaques of amyloid in the dying brain.
Lead researcher Dr Rashid Deane said: "It is clear that, over time, copper's cumulative effect is to impair the systems by which amyloid beta is removed from the brain."
He told the BBC that copper also led to more protein being produced: "It's a double whammy of increased production and decreased clearance of amyloid protein.
"Copper is a very essential metal ion and you don't want a deficiency and many nutritious foods also contain copper."
However, he said taking supplements may be "going overboard a bit".
Commenting on the latest findings, Chris Exley, professor of bioinorganic chemistry at Keele University, said there was "no true consensus" on the role of copper in Alzheimer's disease.
His research on human brains reached the opposite conclusion: "In our most recent work we found evidence of lower total brain copper with ageing and Alzheimer's. We also found that lower brain copper correlated with higher deposition of beta amyloid in brain tissue.
"He said at the moment we would expect copper to be protective and beneficial in neurodegeneration, not the instigator, but we don't know.
"The exposure levels used mean that if copper is acting in the way they think it does in this study then it must be doing so in everyone."
Dr Eric Karran, from Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "While the findings present clues to how copper could contribute to features of Alzheimer's in mice, the results will need replicating in further studies. It is too early to know how normal exposure to copper could be influencing the development or progression of Alzheimer's in people. "
Dr Doug Brown, from the Alzheimer's Society, said: "Considering copper is a vital mineral for the body, people should treat these results with caution and not cut it out of their diet. More research is needed to understand the role that copper might play in the brain."
Nicholas Pool admitted 14 charges, including possessing indecent images and attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity.
He was dismissed by Cumbria Police at a misconduct hearing in February after he admitted three other incitement crimes.
Appearing at Carlisle Crown Court, Pool of Newton Rigg, Penrith, was jailed for three-and-a-half years.
Michael Rawlinson, defending, said the married father-of-one was "full of remorse".
However, Deputy Chief Constable Michelle Skeer said Pool had brought "shame" on the police.
The court heard he had attempted to incite a 12-year-old girl to engage in sexual activity during an online chat. However, it was really an undercover police officer.
After he was arrested in December 2016, police found 47 indecent images - some classed as the most serious category A - on his laptop.
The offences occurred when he was off-duty as a PC based in south Cumbria between 2013 and 2016.
Pool must sign the sex offenders register for life and was also made subject to an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.
Deputy Chief Constable Skeer said: "Nicholas Pool has brought shame upon himself and the constabulary.
"This case highlights that predators can be from any walk of life, and that no matter who you are or where you work, we will seek to ensure that they are brought to justice.
"As well as being in possession of some horrific images, he was conversing with young girls in a sexualised manner, demonstrating how important it is for parents to be aware of who their children are speaking to online."
Mr Rawlinson said Pool's wife had filed for divorce and he had not seen his one-year-old child since being in prison.
A Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) panel reduced the ban to four years on Monday.
Following the judgement, the 60-year-old said he would be stepping down.
Platini and former Fifa counterpart Sepp Blatter were last year found guilty of ethics breaches over a 2m Swiss Franc (£1.3m) "disloyal payment".
The pair, who deny wrongdoing, had their original bans reduced from eight to six years by the Fifa appeals committee.
Platini had taken his case to Cas seeking to get the ban overturned, but a three-man panel said it "was not convinced by the legitimacy of the payment".
The two said the payment in 2011 was made for consultancy work Platini had carried out for Blatter between 1998 and 2002, and that they had a "gentleman's agreement" on when the balance was settled.
The matter is also being looked into by Swiss prosecutors.
After Cas returned its judgement, Platini said in a statement: "I am resigning from my duties as Uefa president to pursue my battle in front of the Swiss courts to prove my innocence in this case."
He added that he considered the judgement "a profound injustice".
However, the Cas panel was damning of Platini, saying his "behaviour was not ethical or loyal".
It found his dealings with Blatter had breached the ethics code of world governing body Fifa, and while his six-year ban was "too severe", it decided a four-year punishment should be handed down - the equivalent to a presidential term in office.
It also said an 80,000 Swiss Franc (£57,200) fine should be lowered to 60,000 (£42,900), but stressed: "The Cas panel was of the opinion that a severe sanction could be justified in view of the superior functions carried out by Mr Platini (Fifa vice-president and Uefa president), the absence of any repentance and the impact that this matter has had on Fifa's reputation."
Uefa said it would meet on 18 May "to discuss next steps".
"In the meantime, there will be no Uefa president appointed ad interim," it added.
And a lot of effort is being put into raising that number to 150, with the takeover of two Lanarkshire steel plants by Liberty House.
These aren't just any jobs. Their status is (to make fair use of an over-worked word) iconic.
In the ebbs and flows of job loss and creation, they have long ceased to occupy the commanding heights of the economy. But they are part of the story the people of Lanarkshire and Clydeside tell about themselves.
It is a similar story that the workers of South Wales tell, though the job stakes at Port Talbot are a lot higher. They too have watched their traditional heavy industries decline.
Steel-making has been taken over, with vast over-capacity, by Asian giants with much newer plants and easier, more efficient access to raw materials.
It is surely a sign of the times that Scotland and Wales are in election campaigns where major themes include the transition of the remaining steel capacity from one Indian-owned conglomerate to an Indian-born entrepreneur with residence in Dubai and London, along with the pressure to secure investment funding from Chinese state corporations.
Such foreign investment is, apart from a shift of global power, one of the economic consequences of Britain's chronic trade deficit, for which yet more evidence was published on Friday.
The imbalance in outflowing funds, to buy goods and services, is re-balanced by an inflow of investment, meaning assets being taken over by foreigners.
So how is Liberty House going to make Clydebridge and Dalzell plants work, where the experienced Tata Steel could not?
It mostly comes down to a different business plan. Sanjeev Gupta, as executive chairman of Liberty House, does not need to buy "long product" steel (the variety typically for construction, railways and heavy goods) from Scunthorpe, as Tata has done.
He can go to the international market where steel "slab" is trading very cheaply. China is the country with huge over-capacity in production, dumping it on world markets at less than cost. That drives down the price also of the Russian and Brazilian steel that Liberty House is buying.
(If EU objectors to Chinese steel dumping are successful, of course, it will make imported steel more expensive, and may cause problems for the Liberty House business model.)
Costs need to fall as well. That includes energy, with heavy industrial users being relieved of some green levies, on the grounds that shifting business to Asia, which has cheaper fuel without the green levies, is no way to help the global environment.
Then there are labour costs. The Lanarkshire plants had 270 people before they were mothballed, three months ago. Twenty remain, in a caretaker role.
Only another 130 are likely to be taken on this year. And having been laid off, they will be re-hired on new pay and conditions.
That much seems to be accepted by the unions. What they fear is that Tata and Liberty House will learn this lesson from Lanarkshire and try the same in Port Talbot and the processing plants it supplies.
If Tata lays off its workforce in Wales and England, retaining just enough to keep the blast furnaces hot, then Liberty House can re-hire workers a few weeks down the line on terms it can dictate.
The other approach is being taken in Scunthorpe, where the Tata plant which has supplied Clydebridge and Dalzell with "slab" is being taken over by Greybull Capital.
It plans to retain much of the workforce, but is requiring changes to pay and conditions, on which the unions are currently balloting. Their choice is between new conditions or no job, and the deal could be done as soon as Monday.
An important bit of the Liberty House business plan is securing a customer base. That may play to the new owner's strength, as a trader of steel and other commodities.
But unions are looking to see the detail of the deal - which is still being thrashed out - wanting governments in Edinburgh and Westminster to ensure that public procurement contracts do everything within European law to support UK suppliers.
If they are, the pressure to buy construction steel from Liberty House will be an interesting part of any discussion with future Chinese infrastructure investors.
But we haven't seen the deal yet, because it hasn't been completed. We've had a signing ceremony and a handover, flag-raising ceremony. But this has so far been an agreement to do deal.
And we had one of these already. Tata was going to sell to the US-based Klesch Group, and signed a Memorandum of Understanding. But last year, Klesch pulled out, later claiming that the UK government had not been willing to provide sufficient support.
One element that's not entirely clear about the current deal is why the Scottish government is taking on the plants from Tata and immediately handing them on to Liberty House.
Such "back-to-back" deals are usually done while restructuring a company - the accountant euphemism for shedding a lot of liability in order to become solvent, handing assets to a new owner, with much less debt. We're assured that the taxpayer is not taking on any financial liability in the back-to-back process.
The reason given by the Scottish government is that this reduces the time taken for due diligence, ie checking through the business numbers and legal details. All that extra checking time would have served to reduce risk to buyer and seller.
But by hurrying the process, it increases risk - which makes you wonder whether buyer, seller or intermediary has taken that risk on.
Making this business plan work is a tall order for the Liberty House team now being put together. The 150 job target is "dependent on market conditions". And market conditions have been atrocious.
It is an even bigger ask for a company that does not have much of a track record in manufacturing steel. The Gupta family conglomerate does lots of things. Steel trading has been only one of them, building big turnover, with more modest profit.
Liberty House has not been long in production of steel. And it is growing at a dizzying pace.
With assets coming on the market for pennies (the Lanarkshire plants are understood to be changing hands for one solitary pound), they bought a plant two years ago in Newport, South Wales and several Midlands firms.
Dozens of shell companies have been set up which, as Sanjeev Gupta told Newsnight, would be useful for further acquisitions.
Taking over and turning around Port Talbot would be a big ask of any management team. But doing all these things at one time is a seriously big stretch.
Doing so under political and public scrutiny may not make it much easier. But that, too, seems to be part of the business plan.
Liberty House seems to be adept at exploiting public pressure on Westminster, Holyrood and Cardiff governments to save such industries, and at times when ministers are most vulnerable to voters.
Severe rot has been identified in timbers of the Grade II*-listed Heage Windmill in Derbyshire.
The musician, who played Rifleman Daniel Hagman in drama series Sharpe, lives in Heage and has made a video supporting a fundraising campaign.
About £17,000 of the £100,000 needed has already been raised.
"Heage Windmill may not be a stately home but it is a vital wonder of Derbyshire, the UK and the world," says Tams in the video.
The windmill was first built in 1797 and was restored to working order in 2002.
Since then, it has become a popular tourist attraction.
"It is not an ancient, static relic, a museum piece to look at and admire, but a fully working windmill, still doing what it does best, producing the finest of flour by the power of the wind," said Mr Tams.
No-one would ever think that a few months ago this 18-year-old was arrested wearing a suicide vest, hours before he was to blow himself up at Kohat University in north-west Pakistan.
Gul was at school in Kohat, a city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. During the summer holidays, he would visit his ancestral village in a tribal area near the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
It was in that volatile territory that one of his cousins connected him to the militants and he was recruited for training.
"They [the militants] used to give us lectures [saying that] according to Sharia [Islamic law] it is obligatory to pursue jihad [holy war] against the government now. I lost my mind and started believing them. They lectured me for three months," says Gul Khan.
He tells me his story from a centre established by Pakistan's army in the town of Tank, close to the border with Afghanistan, for the rehabilitation of young men who supported and sympathised with militants.
One of three such units in Pakistan, the centre is protected by tight security. But inside there are classrooms for vocational training, a basketball court, a TV room and a mosque.
Gul Khan underwent militant training with around 12 others at a camp in the Orakzai tribal region. His parents were completely unaware of this radicalisation until his last trip to Kohat.
Then security agencies raided his house and arrested him with a suicide jacket.
"They [the militants] said girls are getting education in the university and that is against the teachings of Islam. If girls study, they will become empowered and destroy our religious centres, so I thought if I blew up the university I would go to Jannah [paradise]."
Suicide bombers have proven to be the deadliest weapon used by the Pakistani Taliban against civilians and the country's security forces. Pakistan has seen about 350 such attacks since 2002.
Along with Gul Khan, there are 31 other young men on the army-run programme. They were recruited in the name of religion - and jihad - from outside schools, mosques and colleges, persuaded by Taliban arguments about US interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq and drone attacks on the borders of their own country.
They were later arrested across different parts of north-west Pakistan.
Mubarak Ali had thrown grenades at a police van. He said he had been recruited by a mysterious man lingering outside his college.
"He had long hair, and he used to play religious songs on his mobile phone loudly. Every day I used to see him at my college gate talking to boys, making friendships with them. I also became his friend.
"Then he started walking with me after my classes. We had long discussions about Islam and the US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. He changed my mind," says Mubarak Ali.
"He knew how to convince others, how to change minds, I started believing him. He used to talk about Jannah, that I would go to Jannah if I did jihad."
In the centre, would-be suicide bombers Mubarak Ali and others are getting psychiatric help. And to counter such radical ideas, the centre also has moderate clerics.
The cleric at the centre has daily sessions with the students, where he explains how suicide and the killing of innocents is strictly forbidden in Islam. He also has one-on-one sessions with the young men.
Gul Khan says: "Now I thank God that I was unable to detonate my jacket. I have been told that suicide is forbidden in Islam."
Military commander Brigadier Warriach, who runs the centre, told me: "Security agencies uncover terror plots on routine basis, and we arrest many people. But not all of them are brought here.
"We judge people, try to analyse their aptitude. Those selected for the programme are the ones who regret and have a desire to reform."
Officials say that during interrogation, it becomes clear that some young men simply fell into the hands of the militants and are willing to change their outlook.
This includes attitudes to women. I asked Gul Khan about his sister. He says that she was educated and even admitted to study at a college. And when I asked him why he was going to kill girls studying at university, he says that he completely lost his mind and he now knows how wrong he was.
Rahimullah was in the first batch to go through the army's centre. He is now running a successful business in Tank.
"I learned stitching at the centre, and then opened a tailoring shop here. Now I have expanded my business. I have hired a helper for the shop and do property business as well. I get pretty good money every month," says Rahimullah.
He is very keen to ensure his children do not get exploited in the way he did.
So far 71 young men in two batches have passed through the centre and been returned to their communities. It is probably too soon to judge whether the initiative has been a success but the army says it keeps an eye on the young men.
They graduate with practical training to help them become electricians, masons and plumbers, along with a tool-kit and some cash.
Gul Khan has ambitions for his new life. "In my native village there are no schools, hospitals or electricity. People have lost their minds, they feel the government had done nothing for them, so they fall prey to militants and their ideas.
"I will try to talk to young men of my village: they should leave the path of violence, and take care of their families and their own lives instead."
Names have been changed to protect the identities of the men attending the programme.
Bivsi Rana, 15, was born in Germany to Nepalese parents. In May she was deported with the rest of her family.
Her classmates protested and lobbied on her behalf against the deportation, drawing hundreds of people to rally under the slogan "Bring Bivsi back".
Officials called it a "unique case" and said Bivsi was "de facto German".
Mayor of Duisburg Sören Link said: "The fact that we have managed to resolve this difficult situation lifts a burden from my shoulders."
Bivsi's parents moved to Germany in 1998, fleeing civil conflict in their native Nepal, but their applications for asylum were denied. Their repeated appeals were rejected. Fearing political repercussions at home Bivsi's father, Mr Rana, initially applied for asylum under a false name and has since called this "the worst mistake" of his life.
But Bivsi herself was born and brought up in Germany.
On the last Monday in May, Bivsi was in class at school in Duisburg, in north west Germany, when she was told she had to pack her things and leave. That same day she and her family were deported to Nepal, a country Bivsi had never visited before.
Class teacher Sascha Thamm told German media afterwards that all the girls in the class cried and Bivsi's best friend broke down to the extent that an emergency doctor had to be called.
Mr Thamm said Bivsi was a kind, engaged student who was good at German and science and helped teach swimming lessons.
Bivsi has been living in Nepal with her family and, according to reports, has been unable to find a new school there due to language issues.
She has now been given a study visa enabling her to return Germany while she finishes her education. Her parents can return with her.
North-Rhine Westphalia state's integration minister Joachim Stamp said: "This is a unique case and generalisations cannot be drawn from it.
"The right of the child stood in the foreground in this decision.
"Bivsi was born in Germany and grew up here - she is de facto a German child."
Bivsi is reported to be "totally happy" with the decision, and her parents are reported to be "overjoyed". | Liverpool's youngest councillor has decided to stand down, blaming "tactics and dirty games" within local politics.

The salad-making trucker had stopped for a "rest break" on the M25 near St Albans on Tuesday morning.
He was seen chopping tomatoes and onions on the outside of his lorry, and was told the hard shoulder was "not the best place to prepare dinner".
The healthy HGV driver was fined by police.

A number of people commented after officers from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire road policing unit wrote about the incident on Twitter.
One said: "Truckers get hungry you know," and a number commented on the driver's healthy meal choice.
"You do have to say he eats healthy," another said.
A road policing officer said: "The driver stopped on hard shoulder for rest break and decided to make his lunch on the diesel tank. [He was] issued with a graduated fine."
The body of Father Gregorio Lopez was discovered near the city of Ciudad Altamirano.
A group of priests later rallied in the city to condemn the murder.
Father Lopez was seized by gunmen from Ciudad Altamirano's seminary, where he taught. The motive for the killing remains unclear.
A friend of the priest told local media that Father Lopez was kidnapped after he accused drug gang Guerreros Unidos of the abduction and alleged murder of 43 students in September.
He is the third priest to be killed this year in Guerrero state, which has been at the centre of drug-related violence in Mexico.
Last month, forensic experts identified the body of a Ugandan Catholic priest among the remains found in a mass grave. Father John Ssenyondo had been missing since being kidnapped in April.
The grave was located by federal police looking for the missing students.
On Friday, demonstrators in several Mexican cities commemorated the disappearance of the students on 26 September - exactly three months ago.
Police in the town of Iguala allegedly detained them following a clash that left six people dead.
Authorities say the police turned the students over to members of a drug gang who killed them and burned their bodies.
So far, the authorities have only identified the remains of one of the students.
Cue klaxons warning of increased currency and market volatility as Britain starts on the four month journey to a referendum on whether to remain in or leave the European Union.
To an extent sterling's weedy day is down to markets "pricing in" the chance of Britain leaving the EU.
In the short term at least, many market participants believe a "Brexit" would lead to a weaker currency as worries about Britain's £229bn annual trade with the EU and the possibility of new trade barriers heave into view.
The credit rating agency, Moody's, has suggested that Britain leaving the EU would be "credit negative", arguing that an exit could affect foreign investment in the UK, nearly half of which comes from the EU.
The polls are close enough to make the possibility of exit very real in the minds of traders who don't want to be left on the wrong side of a currency deal.
So, sell sterling - reducing the value of the currency.
Of course, a weaker currency is not simply "bad news". It can be very good news for exporters.
And many that back Britain leaving the EU say a Brexit would be good for the UK economy as free trade deals with other large world economies would be easier to negotiate.
If there then followed a medium term economic boost, sterling would soon recover its value.
This morning has been the first time the currency markets have been able to react to a weekend full of significant referendum news.
Don't forget, when the markets closed on Friday night, David Cameron had not secured the final referendum deal; no official date had been set for the vote and neither of the Conservative big hitters, Michael Gove and Boris Johnson, had declared for the "leave" campaign.
In the eyes of the markets, each of these events has made the possibility of the UK leaving the EU more real.
And it has certainly focused minds - hence the rapid decline of sterling.
There are other factors at play.
The dollar has had a strong recent run against the euro and the Swiss franc as well as sterling.
That's down to the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates in December and signal that it may do again during 2016.
Confidence in the US economy may not be boundless, but it is stronger than confidence in the eurozone.
At the same time the European Central Bank and the Bank of England have been sending out very doveish messages on interest rate rises.
Which many economists now believe won't happen in the UK until next year, or even 2018.
A low interest rate environment usually leads to weaker currency valuations.
Sterling's weedy day is down to a number of factors.
Yes, the referendum is one of them.
But other global economic issues are also weighing heavily on the value of the UK currency.
The Scot, who collected £200,000 after winning the China Championship last Saturday, earned another £100,000 after his 10-7 victory on Saturday.
Five-time world champion O'Sullivan, 40, had led 5-4 going into the evening session in the best-of-19-frame final.
Higgins, 41, won six of the next eight frames to beat O'Sullivan.
Four-time world champions Higgins momentarily lost concentration during the presentation.
He dropped the trophy on to the table, much to the amusement of the crowd at the Ricoh Arena.
"I can't speak for Ronnie but I was buzzed up coming into play. I just wish my old man was still here to see me take part in these finals," said Higgins, whose father died from cancer in 2011.
"There is no better feeling than doing it in front of a packed audience, playing against somebody as good as Ronnie."
O'Sullivan, who beat Mark Allen 6-2 on Friday to reach the final, said last month he was "not good enough to compete with the best players in the world".
He won his sixth Masters title in January and the Welsh Open in February.
"I need to find some consistency if I am going to win tournaments again," he said.
"Against most players I might have had a chance of winning but against world-class opposition I make too many mistakes."
The £11m bridge links Arena Island to Cattle Market Road and will be a key route to the Bristol Arena.
Bristol Arena, a 12,000-seat venue set to open in 2017, will be built by contractor Populous which was chosen from a shortlist of five.
Communications and broadband cables plus "district heating" piping which provides green energy to businesses will be included beneath the bridge.
Work started on the 63-metre-long (207 ft) bridge in March and it is hoped it will help unlock new investment in the area to create more jobs.
It is open to cars, pedestrians and bikes, with 3.5 metres (11ft) of pedestrian and bike lanes on either side.
The bridge was funded by the Homes and Communities Agency
Since 1971 it has been twinned with Langenau, Germany, and in 1994 paired up with Villenave d'Ornon, in France.
The town council voted to get rid of all "direct responsibility" for the partnerships on Wednesday night handing control to an independent group.
Bridgend town mayor Robert Morgan said the move "reflected local changes".
In a statement issued by the council, Cllr Morgan said there was no reason the links could not continue and it was never the intention to abolish town twinning all together.
Tweeting in his capacity as Bridgend AM ahead of Wednesday's meeting, First Minister Carwyn Jones warned: "Do we want to be known as the town with no friends?".
In recent years, exchange trips have been been run by the Bridgend twinning committee, supported by the town council.
Councillors voted for an amended motion, which means the council will no longer have any direct responsibility for any twinning and friendships arrangements.
This includes Bridgend's friendship with Hechtel-Eksel in Belgium, started in 2014.
All responsibility will be devolved to a new independent twinning group with "immediate effect".
The body will have to compete with other organisations for grants to fund exchanges and civic visits will be considered on merit in the future.
"The passing of this motion does not mean that town-twinning activities in Bridgend will cease," a statement issued by the mayor and deputy mayor says.
"We wish to emphasise that the passing of this motion does not reflect any criticisms of the Charter Mayors, nor the Town-Twinning Committee Members, but reflects local changes.
"Finally, Bridgend town council wishes the town-twinning committee every success and will continue to work with the group to ensure that the relationships fostered with our European partners can go from strength to strength."
Bridgend AM Mr Jones said he was pleased the council would create a new group to take on the twinning and "had not turned their backs on our European friends".
In a letter sent ahead of the meeting, Debra Walsh, subject leader for modern foreign languages at Brynteg School, said exchange trips with Villenave d'Ornon, in south west France had been "invaluable" for pupils and teachers.
But she said without financial and organisational support it would be very difficult to sustain the visits.
"Very many of Bridgend's children would be deprived of a hugely rewarding and memorable experience," she wrote.
Bassem Youssef was questioned on Sunday over allegations that he insulted President Mohamed Morsi and Islam.
Meanwhile, Mr Youssef said that another investigation had been started against him for his most recent show.
Later US Secretary of State John Kerry said there were "real concerns about the direction Egypt is moving in".
But Mr Kerry said he believed there was still "time for the promise" of the 2011 revolution to be met.
His comments come a day after US State Department Victoria Nuland said the case against Mr Youssef, "coupled with recent arrest warrants issued for other political activists, is evidence of a disturbing trend of growing restrictions on the freedom of expression".
The FJP said in statement that Ms Nuland's comments constituted "blatant interference" and meant that the US "welcomes and defends contempt of religion by the media".
While referring to "investigations of excessive antics by so-called satirist Bassem Youssef" the FJP went on to say it "reiterates and reaffirms its deep respect for freedom of opinion".
Speaking after news of the fresh investigation against him, Mr Youssef said on Twitter: "Accusations include spreading rumours and disturbing the 'Peace'."
"It seems they want to drain us physically, emotionally and financially," he added.
Mr Youssef has faced several complaints over his show El Bernameg (The Programme), which satirises many public figures.
In some sketches, he has portrayed Mr Morsi as a pharaoh, calling him "Super Morsi" for holding on to executive and legislative powers.
This sketch, among others, angered one Islamist lawyer, whose formal complaint resulted in the current investigation.
As well as insulting Mr Morsi and Islam, Mr Youssef is also accused of "spreading false news with the aim of disrupting public order".
He was released on bail on Sunday, after questioning by prosecutors, and ordered to pay 15,000 Egyptian pounds ($2,190; £1,440).
At one point during his arrival at the prosecutor's office, Mr Youssef donned an oversized academic hat, mocking one which Mr Morsi wore recently when he received an honorary doctorate in Pakistan.
Mr Youssef is a doctor who shot to fame with his witty lampooning of public figures in amateur videos posted on the internet following the uprising that ended Hosni Mubarak's rule in February 2011.
He became a household name when his satirical show - likened to Jon Stewart's The Daily Show in the US - began to be broadcast once a week on CBC, one of Egypt's independent satellite stations.
Mr Stewart used the most recent edition of the Daily Show to express his support for Mr Youssef.
Egypt's al-Watan newspaper reported on Monday that the state body responsible for awarding broadcasting licenses had threatened CBC with the withdrawal of its licence if it continued to broadcast El-Bernameg.
However, the deputy head of the body Abd al-Moneim al-Alfy told al-Dustur newspaper that the channel had not been threatened with closure but had been warned "that one of the programmes on its screens had violated the terms of its licence".
It is an increase of more than 30% on the same period last year.
The new galleries of design, fashion and science and technology opened on 8 July at the museum on Chambers Street.
The £14.1m redevelopment in the museum's 150th anniversary year is the latest phase in an £80m masterplan to transform the museum.
Gordon Rintoul, director of National Museums Scotland said: "We have had a terrific summer at the National Museum of Scotland, since opening our 10 new galleries.
"They allow visitors to explore our internationally significant collections like never before, and the response to them has been overwhelmingly positive.
"I am delighted that just two months after unveiling the galleries we have welcomed nearly half a million visitors."
Safdar Rahmatabadi was driving in Tehran's Sabalan Square late on Sunday when he was shot once in the head and once in the chest, the state news agency IRNA reported.
A police officer told the agency that the attacker appeared to have been inside Mr Rahmatabadi's vehicle and spoke to him before opening fire.
There was no speculation as to why the deputy minister was targeted.
Police said they had begun an investigation. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
Assassinations of officials are not unheard of in Iran, in particular scientists connected with the country's nuclear programme. In January 2012 a car bomb killed university lecturer Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan, who also worked at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility.
Earlier in November a public prosecutor and his driver were killed in the restive frontier province of Sistan Baluchistan, which borders Afghanistan and Pakistan.
However, Mr Rahmatabadi, whose portfolio also included mining and commerce, was seen as a low-profile official. He served in a similar role under the country's previous President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The shooting comes as Iran, under newly-elected President Hassan Rouhani, engages in talks with six world powers on its nuclear programme. Tehran maintains it is enriching uranium for civilian uses but Western countries have long suspected Iran of a secret nuclear weapons programme.
Peace talks in Geneva have centred on a proposal to freeze the expansion of Iran's nuclear programme in exchange for relief from tough international sanctions.
Irish's relegation from English rugby's top flight for the first time since 1994 was confirmed on Sunday after a 32-25 home defeat by Harlequins.
"We've got to learn from those mistakes," Narraway told BBC Radio Berkshire. "Moving forward, we've got to make sure we eradicate them."
The Exiles will play Championship rugby next season as they bid to bounce back.
Narraway also lamented how a 17th defeat of the season came despite an encouraging performance against Quins.
"We've probably played good enough to win the game," he added. "I don't think anyone can argue with that.
"We were probably the better side at Newcastle and, apart from five minutes, the better side against Quins.
"It's difficult to take. I've never been relegated before in my career.
"I'm fully committed to the club. It's got great staff, great players and great people behind it. We've just let ourselves down at certain moments of this season.
"We'll stick together and hopefully in 12 months' times, we'll be building towards another Premiership season."
"Have you ever sailed before or is this your first time? Make sure you are all clipped in. You'll love it."
This was the advice from an experienced yachtsman who spotted a group of 17-year-olds on a boat at Hamble, near Southampton.
In fact, they were members of what the race organisers say is the only school team to qualify for the Rolex Fastnet race this year - and probably the only crew from a comprehensive school in its 92-year history.
This year, 2,700 sailors are taking part in the race - among them, 12 students from Greig City Academy in Hornsey, north London, a school where almost three-quarters of pupils are eligible for free school meals.
The race is notoriously tough.
The fastest crew round the course - from the Solent round the Fastnet lighthouse off Ireland - reached the finish line in Plymouth early on Tuesday morning, to gain one of the most coveted trophies in ocean racing.
For the Greig City pupils, the aim is just to get round safely.
With the race under way, three teams of four students, each led by a professional skipper and a teacher, are taking it in turns to sail the boat on four-hour watches.
"I am thinking about six days just constantly walking up and down, the same food with no flavouring and seeing the same people for the next six days," says Shabazz Patterson, who turns 17 on Friday
"I am a bit rocky about it to be honest - but I'm also looking forward to it. It's good experience."
Montel Jordan, 17, the main helmsman, says simply finishing will be a major accomplishment.
"I think it will be a big challenge," he says.
"We have never done a race that has such a long duration.
"I think everybody thinks about the downsides if something bad happens on the Fastnet race - but you also think of the good sides of it if you do complete it."
Both have just finished their AS-levels and started sailing four years ago, when geography teacher Jon Holt organised a few weekends on dinghies in Poole harbour.
Shabazz says he went along because it was a chance to miss a few days of regular school work and try something different.
But after just one weekend, the pupils were hooked.
The school began to raise money to cover the cost of the trips and to buy and restore first an old 22ft (6.7m) yacht on eBay, and later Scaramouche, a 45ft former international racing yacht for £17,000.
It was expensive. Scaramouche needed new rigging, ropes and sails, and then there was the cost of safety gear - lifejackets, rafts and waterproofs.
As they were starting their GCSEs, the pupils embarked on a campaign of fund-raising talks to convince charitable trusts, yachting suppliers and City of London companies to donate.
Their enthusiasm was infectious, according to Mr Holt, who is now head of the school's sixth-form.
When they entered their first race, which was against teams of adults, they had little hope.
"We thought, 'We have just got to sail around the course and not embarrass ourselves,'" Mr Holt says.
But they won.
Other races followed and the combination of the powerful old yacht and its enthusiastic novice crew continued to make waves.
They qualified for Fastnet earlier this year but realised they had run so short of money that they would probably be unable to enter.
"Safety is our first priority," says Mr Holt. So, Scaramouche has to be maintained to the highest standards.
The boat bills were eye-watering, but the pupils were determined to carry on.
"We gave so many different talks," says Montel.
"There was a period when we did no sailing but 30 different talks in a month, to different people.
"So, yes, we just tried to get the funding to try and carry on the project as long as possible because we didn't want to quit before we had done all the things we said we were going to do."
City company Pioneer Underwriters, whose bosses are themselves keen sailors, agreed to sponsor Scaramouche, covering the entire operating budget, including transport, food and accommodation.
Mr Holt says that when he organised the first few sailing weekends, as part of an outdoor education project, he never imagined it would lead to Fastnet.
"I didn't think that they would get to a point where they were competing in racing yachts at a national level," he says.
"It's far exceeded my expectations."
He puts their success down to discipline, "partly down to themselves and their families and partly fostered by the school".
"They don't come with a huge amount of prior knowledge, so they do exactly what they are told," he says.
And as sailors who came to the sport relatively late, "they take every single opportunity they can possibly get [and] genuinely want to do this themselves, with no parental push to start them sailing".
Montel says it has been hard to juggle sailing and schoolwork but it has made him more organised, while, in the run up to exams, teachers travelled out to meet the crews on sailing weekends to deliver extra tuition.
He is considering taking a gap year between school and university to qualify as a yacht master, which could help him secure a career as a professional yachtsman.
But first they need to finish the Fastnet race.
"I hope we will be one of the youngest crews ever to finish," says Shabazz.
"And that would just be something that would go down in the history books... that would be something big."
Described by Theresa May as an "essential step" on the way to leaving the EU, it aims to ensure European law will no longer apply in the UK.
Here's how it will work:
As the name suggests, the Great Repeal Bill will repeal the 1972 European Communities Act, which took Britain into the EU and meant that European law took precedence over laws passed in the British parliament. It will also end the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.
All existing EU legislation will be copied across into domestic UK law to ensure a smooth transition on the day after Brexit.
The government says it wants to avoid a "black hole in our statute book" and avoid disruption to businesses and individual citizens as the UK leaves the EU.
The UK Parliament can then "amend, repeal and improve" the laws as necessary.
Ensuring the continuity of EU rules and regulations is also meant to aid trade negotiations with the EU because the UK will already meet all of its product stands.
The Great Repeal Bill is likely to be "one of the largest legislative projects ever undertaken in the UK", a report by the House of Commons library predicts, with "major swathes of the statute book" needing to be examined to see how they will work after Brexit.
This is because working out which bits of UK law came from the EU is not as simple as it may sound.
In fact, it presents a "unique challenge", a House of Lords committee warned recently, because "the body of EU law is found in a number of different places, and in a number of different forms".
Simply transposing all EU law into UK legislation will not be enough, the government's white paper on the bill says.
Swathes of UK law "will no longer work" on exit, for example because they refer to EU institutions.
Not all of this can be done through the Great Repeal Bill, so the government plans to create powers to "correct the statute book where necessary" - without full Parliamentary scrutiny.
This is the one of the most controversial features of the bill (see below).
More complications are presented by the government's negotiations with the EU, which will be taking place while the bill is passing through Parliament.
Those talks could shape what the UK's post-Brexit laws look like - but the Great Repeal Bill will need to be done and dusted by the day the UK leaves.
The government plans to enact its "corrections" to the statute book using what are known as Henry VIII powers, after the Statute of Proclamations 1539 which gave him the power to legislate by proclamation.
Given that this will not involve the usual Parliamentary scrutiny process, opposition parties have protested, with Labour claiming ministers were being handed "sweeping powers" to make hasty, ill thought-out legislation.
Ministers have attempted to reassure critics by saying such measures will be time limited and not be used to make policy changes.
In total, the government estimates that 800 to 1,000 measures called statutory instruments will be required to make sure the bill functions properly.
A lot.
The government's white paper says there is "no single figure" for this, but that there are believed to be 12,000 EU regulations (one type of EU law) in force, while Parliament has passed 7,900 statutory instruments implementing EU legislation and 186 acts which incorporate a degree of EU influence.
The total body of European law, dating back to 1958, is known as the Acquis Communautaire.
It binds all member states and in 2010 was estimated to consist of about 80,000 items, covering everything from workers' rights to environment and trade.
As well as regulations, this includes EU treaties, directions and European Court of Justice rulings.
New EU legislation is being created all the time and will continue to apply in the UK until it leaves.
Different types of EU legislation work in different ways, and will be treated differently by the bill. So regulations, which apply automatically in the UK, will be converted into UK law.
But directives require a new UK to come into force - this legislation will be preserved by the bill.
Reality check: How much UK law comes from the EU?
The bill will be included in the next Queen's Speech (expected in the spring) and will then have to pass through both Houses of Parliament. The plan is for it to be passed ahead of the UK's exit from the EU but to become law only when it actually leaves.
Under the formal timetable for negotiations, the UK is due to leave the EU in March 2019 unless both sides agree to an extension.
The white paper confirmed the government intends to pass a number of other bills over the next two years to prepare for specific aspects of Brexit, including on customs and immigration.
The government also confirmed the UK would be withdrawing from the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights, the EU's human rights agreement, and that it would not be converted into UK law.
The government said the charter was "only one element of the UK's human rights architecture" and it had no plans to pull out of the European Convention on Human Rights, a separate agreement which is not part of the EU.
Ministers have also clarified that once the UK leaves the EU, European Court of Justice judgements will have the same status as UK Supreme Court decisions, which can be overturned by subsequent rulings.
For the record, we also know the Great Repeal Bill won't actually be called the Great Repeal Bill - because the word "great" is not permitted under Parliamentary drafting rules.
UK bills must describe the content of the bill in a straightforwardly factual manner, with no "slogans" permitted, so we we can expect a more technical title.
Until the UK actually leaves, EU law will continue to apply. But after leaving, the Repeal Act (as it will be by then) comes into force.
The government says having the legislation in place will ensure a "calm and orderly exit". Then begins the long-term process of the government, and Parliament, choosing what it wants to do with the laws it has incorporated from the EU.
With so many pieces of legislation to be considered, this could turn out to be a "major drain on resources" and should not "crowd out" other government policies, the Institute for Government think tank has warned.
Some of the EU laws are in areas that are controlled by the devolved administrations - so do they now become part of Westminster law, or will they be added to the statute book in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
It's not entirely clear how this will work, although the government says it will work closely with the devolved administrations.
It also predicts the repeal process will result in a "a significant increase in the decision-making power of each devolved administration", as powers in devolved areas are repatriated from Brussels.
But the bill has been described by the Scottish government as an "executive power grab".
It has warned it could block the legislation if Scotland's interests are not represented in the negotiations, assuming its consent is required before it becomes law.
Unveiling the white paper in Parliament, Mr Davis did not respond directly when asked by the SNP if the devolved administrations would have to give their consent to the bill, although ministers have previously suggested consent would be needed.
The UK government says blocking the bill could have "very significant consequences", leaving "a hole in our law".
Bedfordshire Police Det Con Jamal Hassan, 36, admitted four counts of misconduct in public office.
Hassan, of Corncastle Road, Luton, also pleaded guilty to three charges of making indecent photographs of children and covertly filming up the skirt of a woman in a shop.
He was jailed for six years at Peterborough Crown Court.
Hassan also admitted possessing extreme pornography and perverting the course of justice by trying to hide a storage device from police.
Three of the misconduct in public office charges relate to Hassan filming himself in people's bedrooms - including the child's - with underwear while on duty. The fourth involved him making a covert recording of a child in a police interview room.
In court he admitted making more than 6,000 indecent images of children, 1,552 of which were the most severe category A.
The offences were committed from 2000 up until May this year. Hassan was sacked by Bedfordshire Police earlier this month.
Bedfordshire Assistant Chief Constable Jackie Sebire said his actions "have no place in policing" and those he worked alongside were "completely unaware of the secret life he was leading".
She continued: "We are here to protect vulnerable people from harm and he has let down every single one of his colleagues with his conduct.
"While there is no suggestion Hassan committed any 'contact' offences, we are still investigating his actions over the past decade and would urge anyone who has concerns regarding his conduct to contact us."
Two microlights left the airport, in Eglinton, County Londonderry, at about 11:46 BST on Thursday bound for Scotland. One is now missing.
RNLI crew member Paddy McLaughlin said they are "very concerned" for the two people on board.
"Weather conditions have been calm but [it was] very cold through the night".
He added: "The difficulty we have, because of tides in the area, is that if there are people, wreckage or aircraft the tides will bring them north and south so we have to search a very, very large area."
Ian Guy is involved in the search at the National Maritime Operation Centre.
"We had information from another aircraft that was making the passage with them, so we had a reasonably good picture of where the last contact was. What we don't know is where they went after that," he said.
"The fog, which has hampered, could have been a contributory factor in that."
Fog on Thursday evening eventually hampered the search efforts, at one point the RNLI said visibility was down to about 10 metres.
Five lifeboats were launched from Larne and Red Bay in Northern Ireland and Portpatrick in Scotland.
They were later joined by coastguard helicopters from Prestwick and the Irish coastguard helicopter from Dublin.
Community Rescue Service are also assisting using thermal imaging technology.
Overnight they searched near Ballycastle and along the coastline toward Portballintrae.
"I have to say no stone has been left unturned all night," Mr McLaughlin added.
"There's been many coastguard teams out along the coast here, we've had mountain rescue out, we've had five lifeboats and two rescue helicopters so it's a very large and intensive search."
A spokesperson from City of Derry Airport confirmed that two Microlight aircraft departed at 11:46 BST on route to Scotland.
It is understood that the second plane arrived safely.
The search off the North Channel was suspended due to fog at about 04:00 BST on Friday, after lasting about eight hours.
The UK Coastguard said teams and rescue units had been waiting for "visibility to improve" before the search was resumed.
Ryan Gray of the UK Coastguard said: "UK Coastguard has also issued a Mayday relay broadcast in the area and several merchant shipping vessels have responded and are keeping a lookout for this aircraft.
"We may send further resources as the search widens."
The coastguard said the aircraft was "tracking east towards Castle Kennedy, near Stranraer".
Six coastguard rescue teams and two rescue helicopters were involved in the search.
Police in Northern Ireland and Scotland were also informed.
On the same night that parliament gave its approval RAF Tornados launched their first air strikes on the Omar oil fields.
Newly despatched Typhoon jets joined in the attacks two nights later, followed by a third set of strikes on the same oil fields on 6 December.
And then? It appears hardly anything. There has only been one other British air strike in Syria - an unmanned Reaper drone firing a Hellfire missile at an IS checkpoint near Raqqa on Christmas Day.
Despite the vote, the focus of British military action has continued to be on Iraq. The RAF's much lauded brimstone missile has not yet even been fired over Syria.
The prime minister's claim that the RAF would make a "meaningful difference" there has yet to be borne out.
So far more than 90% of the air strikes inside Syria have been conducted by the US.
It is of course still early days. But given the limited number of UK air strikes it begs the questions: why was the government so keen to expand the air strikes to Syria, and why the agonising over a vote that appears to have changed relatively little?
It is worth recalling that David Cameron argued for Britain to join the Syria air strikes.
He said it was to deny IS, also known as Isil, a safe haven. "It is in Syria, in Raqqa, that Isil has its headquarters, and it is from Raqqa that some of the main threats against this country are planned and orchestrated," he said.
He argued that by authorising British air strikes over Syria, the RAF would be able to take out the "snake's head" - the leadership of IS.
So why hasn't that happened? The first reason is that Syria has not been the military priority.
In Iraq air strikes are making a difference, largely because there is an army to work with on the ground.
The recapture of most of Ramadi has been achieved with the help of the RAF. On 18 December it carried out its most sustained bombing campaign over Ramadi and near Mosul - with 22 air strikes over a 24-hour period.
And there are more reasons as to why Iraq, not Syria, will continue to be the focus of the bombing campaign.
Iraq's prime minister has now said his forces will be turning their attention to Mosul.
Even though the tide appears to be turning in Iraq, the country will still be heavily reliant on Western air power for months, possibly years to come.
The fight against IS in Iraq will be hard. But in Syria it will be even tougher.
There is still no ground force around which the US-led coalition can rally.
Before the parliamentary vote, David Cameron admitted the situation on the ground in Syria was "complex".
But his assertion that there were about 70,000 Syrian opposition fighters, who did not belong to extremists groups, still seems fanciful.
Day-by-day the so-called "moderate rebels" are being targeted by Russian aircraft determined to bolster President Assad's position.
The battle lines in Syria are blurred and constantly shifting. And it is much harder to conduct an air campaign without eyes on the ground.
However, it would be wrong to give the impression that Syria is being completely ignored.
On 19 December the US-led coalition carried out its largest ever pre-planned attack on oil installations near Raqqa, dropping 140 bombs and missiles in a single day (in the coalition daily update this was listed as just one air strike as it involved one target).
The US has also been going after senior figures: 10 so-called "high-value targets" have been killed over the past month alone.
The coalition spokesman, US Colonel Steve Warren, said: "We are striking at the head of this snake, but we haven't severed it yet, and it's still got fangs."
The US has been flying combat missions over Syria for more than a year now.
It has had more than 100 aircraft gathering intelligence and finding targets (it is costing the US $11m - £7.4m - a day to fight this war).
This might, in part, explain why the RAF has carried out relatively few air strikes against the "head of the snake" in Syria. It often requires weeks, even months, of surveillance.
But Britain's very limited involvement in Syria, along with its limited number of aircraft, still raises questions and doubts.
Is the UK really making a "meaningful difference"? Or was the vote on 2 December as much to do with politics as military effect?
Syria has been embroiled in a bloody armed conflict for nearly five years. More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed, and 11 million made homeless.
What started as pro-democracy Arab Spring protests in 2011 spiralled into a civil war between President Bashar al-Assad's government forces and opposition supporters.
In the chaos, jihadist group IS moved in over the border from Iraq and claimed territory. The US, Russia, France and other world powers have entered the fray, adding to an already complex web.
Syria: The story of the conflict
"We're extremely disappointed with today's ruling. If equality law means people can be punished for politely refusing to support other people's causes, then equality law needs to change.
"This ruling undermines democratic freedom. It undermines religious freedom. It undermines free speech."
"I am relieved and grateful to the appeal court judges."
"I'm pleased of the verdict today and the three judges today.
"It clarifies the law and it means that anyone whether you are straight gay or bisexual can walk in to receive a service.
"It once again puts at the centre, the reason why we've got the law is to protect people so that we can all receive the same treatment."
"If law allows prosecution for not supporting a particular political agenda, the law needs to be changed."
"The Christian Institute has provided financial support for the Ashers cases. We must all now donate money for further appeals.
The Ashers case must now be referred to the Supreme Court, and if that fails to the European Court of Human Rights."
"No surprise in the Ashers case: unlawful discrimination."
"This is an assault on freedom of conscience and as such it should worry Christians and non-Christians alike.
"The aggressive 'gay rights' lobby will see this as the green light to demand that everyone not only accepts but celebrates their lifestyle."
"Today's decision from the Court of Appeal is welcome and makes sense. The original decision was the correct one and I'm glad it has been upheld.
"This is the right decision and represents another step forward for equality."
"I hope lessons are learnt following this case.
"Every person should be treated equally regarding provision of goods, facilities and services, irrespective of their background or beliefs. Today's ruling underlines that."
"This verdict is a defeat for freedom of expression. As well as meaning that Ashers can be legally forced to aid the promotion of same-sex marriage, it also implies that gay bakers could be forced by law to decorate cakes with homophobic slogans.
"It seems that businesses cannot now lawfully refuse a customer's request to propagate a message, even if it is a sexist, xenophobic or anti-gay message and even if the business has a conscientious objection to it."
"This is a sad day for the family and for freedom of conscience and religion.
"Ashers have lost the case, but even more importantly we have all lost some our freedom.
"Forcing someone to promote a view that they fundamentally disagree with is the antithesis of a free and fair society."
"Today's judgement will have far reaching implications for all business owners by confirming that they cannot in conscience refuse to be involved in the promotion of particular causes or messages that run contrary to their beliefs - religious or otherwise.
I remain deeply concerned by the apparent limiting of freedom of conscience and free expression, which are hallmarks of any democratic society.
"Out of respect for the dignity and worth of every person, and in the interests of the common good, we want the law to protect everyone from discrimination whilst ensuring that freedom of conscience and expression are properly valued and respected."
'We do not believe that this matter should have been brought to court.
"We believe that Ashers bakery should have accepted the Equality Commission's invitation to engage in mediation, where a remedy could have been found without the expense and division surrounding this court case."
"Ordinary people need to have the judgement on the Ashers case clearly defined and the interpretations made in easy speak for the law abiding citizen.
"Many people will look at this case and don't know what specifically Ashers did wrong.
"The judges must precisely spell out the law in order to stop others unwittingly breaking the law."
The 31-year-old joined the Tigers from Birmingham City in June 2013 and has made 105 appearances for the club in all competitions.
The former Luton, West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa man helped Hull reach the 2014 FA Cup final and scored their second goal in their 3-2 defeat by Arsenal at Wembley.
Steve Bruce's side are currently fourth in the Championship.
The network ran a slate referring to the film's title, during the hour-long slot when it should have aired.
The film, which features an interview with one of the men convicted of the Delhi bus rape, was due to be broadcast by the channel on Sunday night.
But it was outlawed by the Indian authorities on the grounds of "objectionable content".
Explaining its decision not to broadcast an alternative show from 21:00 to 22:00 local time (15:30-16:30 GMT), editorial director Sonia Singh said in a tweet: "We won't shout, but we will be heard."
Other Twitter users praised the decision. One comment read: "Kudos @ndtv for the #IndiasDaughter protest. A surprisingly mature decision in a mediascape that seems to deteriorate by by the day."
Another said: "@ndtv they may not always be right, but this time they are."NDTV
Filmmaker Leslee Udwin, who directed India's Daughter, has rejected claims by the authorities that the documentary contained offensive remarks towards women, and could cause a public outcry.
She also denied allegations that she broke a contract with the prison by airing the interview with rapist, Mukesh Singh.
He is facing the death penalty for his part in the rape and murder of a medical student on a bus in Delhi in 2012, which sparked protests across India.
The BBC's director of television, Danny Cohen defended the corporation's decision to show the film in the UK, despite a request from the Indian government that it shelve the broadcast.
"We do not feel the film as currently edited could ever be construed as derogatory to women or an affront to their dignity," he said.
Ahmad Zeidan, 21, from Reading, said he was tortured into signing a confession in Arabic, a language he does not know, after his arrest last December.
His father has urged the British prime minister to petition for a pardon on a UAE "day of amnesty" on 2 December.
Downing Street has yet to comment.
Zeidan's nine-year sentence was upheld in September, so his family believes the amnesty day for prisoners, held on UAE's national day, is the "last window" for him "to have his life back".
Manal Zeidan's letter to Mr Cameron stated: "My son was beaten, whipped and dragged across the floor when he could no longer stand from the pain.
"He was forcibly stripped naked and threatened with rape; he was threatened with electrocution; he was hooded and taken to solitary where he was then repeatedly beaten again and humiliated for over a week."
The letter added: "I worry constantly for my son as I see his physical and mental health deteriorate. At one point, weeks went by as he coughed up blood."
Zeidan was studying at the Emirates Aviation College in Dubai at the time of his arrest.
He claimed he was in a car with men he did not know well when 0.04g of the drug was found in the glove compartment.
In June, human rights charity Reprieve wrote to Mr Cameron urging him to intervene.
The Foreign Commonwealth Office said: "The welfare of British nationals abroad is an important priority for the FCO.
"We are in contact with Mr Zeidan's lawyer about the mistreatment allegations and will continue to ensure this is raised."

Belgium will win the group if they beat Israel on Tuesday - while Wales will hope to leapfrog them when they host Andorra.
Wales also secured qualification from Group B despite their defeat in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They say the monsoon advancing towards the west of South Asia combined with westerly winds for an unusually long time and with an extraordinary intensity, which resulted in days of torrential rains.
Weather authorities in India and Pakistan have warned there is still a threat that the dangerous combination will cause more devastating floods.
At least 560 people are known to have been killed and thousands are missing in northern India. The death toll is expected to rise further.
The worst-affected areas are in India's Uttarakhand state, where floods have flattened homes and swept away roads and bridges.
More than 40,000 people, many of them Hindu pilgrims, are still stranded in what the government has described as a "national crisis."
"Such interaction (between the two weather systems) does happen at times during this season but the intensity this time and the duration is something we have not seen for quite some time," BP Yadav, director at the Indian Meteorological Department, told the BBC.
The interaction lasted three days he said, the first such event for many years.
In Pakistan, experts said the westerly weather system arrived unexpectedly and had covered almost all of the country.
Qamar Zaman Chaudry, former director general of Pakistan's Meteorological Department, said this was highly unusual at this time of the year - the first occasion in 26 years.
He said May and June normally represented the dry season in Pakistan, with monsoon rains from July to September.
"The westerly weather system should be here only between October and April, but - quite bizarrely - we are seeing it at this time of the year and all over the country: from the Himalayan mountains to the coastal zones."
Mr Chaudry said the cause was unknown, adding: "It is difficult for us to link this single phenomenon to climate change."
But he added: "When we look at the abrupt changes in the climate and weather patterns in our country during the last 10 to 15 years, it becomes easy to link this to the changes taking place around the globe."
Bill Hare, visiting professor at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, agreed that it was an intensive interaction between monsoon and westerly winds that resulted into the torrential rainfall.
"But the question is: is this intensity of interaction and resulting rainfall in any way linked to global warming?
"In this specific event, we simply don't know but what we do know with a high degree of confidence is that these kinds of events, as a general statement, will be occurring more often in the future and will be more damaging as the globe warms.
"I think that's a fairly solid analysis from the physical science community," Prof Hare said.
The Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change, in its fourth assessment report, says that it "is likely that warming associated with increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will cause an increase of Asian summer monsoon precipitation variability".
"Changes in the monsoon mean duration and strength depend on the details of the greenhouse gases emission scenario."
Debates continue on whether global warming has any role on the changing rainfall patterns around the world, but soot and urban smog pollution have also been blamed for disrupting the south Asian monsoon.
A report by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organisation in 2011 said: "They disturb tropical rainfall and regional circulation patterns such as the Asian monsoon, affecting the livelihoods of millions of people.
"They can change wind patterns by affecting the regional temperature contrasts that drive the winds, influencing where rain and snow fall."
Experts, however, say not much is known about why westerly winds reach the South Asian region when they are not supposed to.
"That is still an area which is still pretty unclear scientifically," says Prof Hare.
"But anything that brings a lot of moisture into the region and interacts with the convective energy of the monsoon will probably contribute to more extreme rainfall events." | A lorry driver was spotted preparing his lunch on his vehicle's fuel tank while on the hard shoulder of a motorway.

Opponents claim this right, known as investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), poses a threat to democracy.
But what is ISDS and why does it provoke such controversy?
Investor-state dispute settlements were devised by industrialised nations in the 1960s as a way to protect their companies' overseas investments against threats such as nationalisation by the country they invested in.
Supporters of ISDS say it offers a fair and impartial forum for the settlement of disputes between investors and states and, if appropriate, for deciding the amount of compensation an investor should get.
They claim that ISDS encourages companies to invest in a country they might otherwise shun through fear that, in a dispute with that nation, they would be unable to get a fair hearing in its domestic courts.
For an investment to be covered by ISDS, both the country where it is located and the investor's home nation must have agreed to its use. This is normally done through countries signing investment treaties with ISDS provisions.
There are now about 3,200 investment treaties globally. Most of these empower investors to launch ISDS actions.
So far, approximately 600 actions have been launched - though not all are reported. The number of cases has risen significantly in recent years.
Each case is judged by a panel of three arbitrators, selected by the government and the investor involved in the case from a small pool of specialist lawyers. The tribunals can meet anywhere convenient to the parties, with decisions based on the wording of treaties rather than national laws.
Cases can last for years and are costly. In addition to paying arbitrators' fees, each side has to employ a team of lawyers to argue its case.
Even when governments win, as they have in around 40% of the known cases, they often have to pay their own costs - averaging around $4.5m per case.
When investors win, arbitrators can award damages. There is no appeal against the level of damages, which can amount to hundreds of millions and, in some cases, billions of dollars.
Opponents say it is easier for foreign investors to attack a government's policy using ISDS that it would be through even the most trusted, well-established national court systems.
First, they claim ISDS gives foreign investors an additional way to oppose government policies.
One instance often cited occurred after Australia passed a law in 2011 requiring cigarettes to be sold only in plain packs.
Philip Morris and a group of other tobacco multinationals challenged this legislation in Australia's domestic courts and were roundly defeated. In Australian law, that was the end of the matter. But Philip Morris was able to launch another action - still continuing - under an ISDS treaty.
Opponents also claim that ISDS favours foreign investors over domestic ones.
In Germany, after the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in Japan, the government announced it would phase out nuclear power altogether.
Germany was sued using ISDS by the Swedish state-owned power company Vattenfall for loss of profits from two nuclear power stations that the firm co-owns with the giant German energy company E.ON.
Being Swedish, Vattenfall counts as a foreign investor in Germany and so could use ISDS to claim damages. As a German enterprise, E.ON could not, despite both companies being large European power companies, facing the same potential losses on the same power stations as a result of the same government policy.
E.ON is able to claim damages under property rights set out in the German constitution. But because those property rights are balanced by considerations of the general public good, any compensation from the Constitutional Court is likely to be significantly lower than an ISDS tribunal would award.
Opponents say ISDS can deter governments from enacting policies, to benefit the environment or to improve the health or safety of their populations, for example, for fear that those policies might trigger an ISDS action from a foreign investor.
While wealthier countries can comfortably afford to defend such actions, cost can be a major issue for poorer nations.
For five years El Salvador, one of the poorest countries in Central America, has been fighting an ISDS action launched by a Canadian gold-mining company after the nation declared a moratorium on mining licences. This followed widespread public concern of a potential threat to drinking water quality from mining operations.
The gold-mining company is claiming $250m in damages - representing the profit it says it would have made had it been given a licence to mine.
That $250m would represent almost 5% of El Salvador's total government budget.
The gold-miner's claim may still fail - a decision is expected imminently - but opponents of ISDS argue that the fear of such awards makes many poorer countries hesitate before implementing policies that might benefit their populations.
In the light of such cases, some countries, particularly in Latin America, are now considering terminating their treaties. Others, including South Africa, have already started doing so.
These countries are reassured by Brazil, which - though it has never signed an ISDS treaty - can still point to large inflows of foreign investment.
For decades, while ISDS treaties were being signed, few claims were launched. Academic research suggests that most countries then regarded the treaties as little more than tokens of diplomatic goodwill, safely ignored.
In the late 1990s, lawyers started waking up to the potential of ISDS and began advising investors to launch actions. The number of cases increased sharply.
The current protests have been fuelled by proposals to include ISDS provision in two trade treaties: the TTIP and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
They seem to have done.
In January, the EU Commission revealed that of the 150,000 responses to its public consultation on the proposed EU-US treaty, 97% were against it.
In negotiations with the US over the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, Cecilia Malmstrom, the EU Trade Commissioner, is seeking to limit the scope of the ISDS provisions. She proposed giving governments a "right to regulate" free from ISDS attack, and exempting issues of general public benefit such as health and the environment.
If she succeeds, she says she hopes the new treaty would become a new "gold standard" for ISDS, eventually replacing provisions in the thousands of existing treaties. This network, she says, is "not fit for purpose in the 21st Century".
Some commentators believe the new EU demands could mean negotiations fail and that no new treaty is signed.
Surprisingly, given the claims made by advocates of ISDS, it may not.
Academic researchers report that when they ask investors what matters to them when deciding where to invest, investors typically cite factors such as market access, the availability of raw materials and the quality of a workforce.
For all the present fuss and bother, ISDS appears to be low on their list of requirements.

The Foxes' squad was assembled for £57m, the cheapest of any currently in the top half of the table.
"If you take Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez as individuals, you're looking at £70m there," said agent and sports lawyer David Seligman of Leicester's attacking duo.
"You're looking at a team of upwards of £200m."
Leicester paid £1m for 29-year-old former non-league striker Vardy in 2012, while winger Mahrez, 25, joined for £400,000 in 2014.
Mahrez and Vardy have scored or assisted 48 of Leicester's 64 league goals this season, and have both earned international caps for England and Algeria respectively.
France midfielder N'Golo Kante, 25, was bought from Caen for £5.6m and has also been a key asset for Claudio Ranieri's side this term.
In January, research conducted by the International Centre for Sports Studies valued Vardy and Kante at 25m euros (£19.8m), with Mahrez at 40m euros (£31.7m).
Those figures differ from the values provided by market value analysis website Transfermarkt in the above graphic, although Seligman believes Leicester's star names could command even higher prices.
"If people are paying £50m plus for Raheem Sterling, then Mahrez is worth more than that. He's still got his peak to come," said Seligman.
"Kante signed an initial contract a year ago and hasn't signed another one and only has a year left. His rise has been meteoric.
"They're all going on to be international players and that adds to the price tag. They're better players now and also they're superstars commercially. Their values are going to increase massively."
Vardy signed a new three-year contract with Leicester in February, but has been linked with moves to former champions Manchester United and Chelsea.
"If you've got clubs like Chelsea, United and Arsenal coming in I don't think you can turn them down - even if you wouldn't be playing week in week out," added Seligman.
"But Leicester are champions with billionaire owners. If United can pay someone £200k a week then so can Leicester."
David Birks, 42, hid the drugs beneath a seat in a rented flatbed truck travelling from Belgium to the UK.
The consignment was discovered by National Crime Agency (NCA) officers in 2014 when the vehicle arrived in Dover.
Birks, of Dale Street, Rotherham, was found guilty of importing class A drugs at Canterbury Crown Court.
The court heard Birks had driven out to Belgium on the same day as the rented truck, hidden the drugs and then returned separately.
The driver of the truck, a Lithuanian national, was convicted in December for his involvement but was later given an absolute discharge on mental health grounds, the NCA said.
Nick Tuffs, from the NCA, said: "David Birks played a key role in an attempt to smuggle class A drugs worth almost £2m into the UK.
"There is no doubt that those drugs would have ended up on our streets."
A warrant has been issued for Birks's arrest and Mr Tuffs said the NCA was "determined" to catch him.
But that didn't stop Lewis Hamilton taking pole position for Mercedes.
He finished 0.074 seconds ahead of Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, whilst Nico Rosberg came in third.
It's Hamilton's 40th finish in pole position; he'll be hoping to win again on Sunday.
The 39-year-old started his Irish League career with the Ports in 2001, winning league and cup medals during his time at Shamrock Park.
The attacking full-back then won another championship medal with Glentoran in 2009.
Neill moved from the Oval to Mourneview Park the following year.
Portadown will look to the experienced Neill to bolster their attempt to secure an immediate return to the Irish Premiership.
Niall Currie's side will start next season in the Championship, having finished bottom of the top division in April.
"I think it is fitting that Kyle plays his last season at Portadown - perfect in fact," said Ports boss Currie.
Recently, Portadown signed another former Glenavon player in seasoned midfielder Andy Kilmartin on a two-year contract.
Former Ards, Dundela and Carrick Rangers striker Ben Roy has also signed for Portadown.
Steven Fletcher has been the preferred choice throughout the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, with his three Group D goals coming against Gibraltar.
Fletcher netted for Sunderland on Saturday and Leigh Griffiths, Chris Martin and Jordan Rhodes also scored for their clubs.
"Each of the strikers have different assets," said Strachan.
"But we don't have an all-round guy who has every one of these.
"Then you've got to say, 'what type of game should it be?' That's the kind of game you've got to try and envisage as a coach or coaches and pick the player or players that would suit that game.
"In saying that, we have a decision to make in midfield, where we've got good players."
Scotland can, at best, finish third in Group D and reach the play-offs. Losing to Poland would end their chances of reaching the finals.
If they draw, the Scots must hope Germany beat the Republic of Ireland to keep alive their hopes of a play-off place going into the final qualifier against Gibraltar in Portugal on Sunday. Scotland would also need the Irish to lose to Poland in this scenario.
Victory for Scotland over both Poland and Gibraltar and another defeat for the Poles against the Irish would allow the Scots to claim the play-off place with Martin O'Neill's side progressing automatically to the finals in France.
Strachan believes his side face a Poland team that have made a "terrific" improvement throughout the campaign.
Scotland beat the Poles 1-0 in a friendly in March 2014 and, a year ago, the two sides drew 2-2 in their first Group D encounter.
"They're definitely a better side and we've got better as well," Strachan explained.
"They've got better because they've improved as a group, but they also have some good players back in their side.
"Most of our work has been done on group defending, group attacking and group defending will hopefully nullify anything their top players in areas they want to play in.
"The secret is actually if you keep the ball long enough and you keep the ball longer than them then their chances of scoring a goal are reduced."
Strachan was also asked about media reports suggesting the Poles were expecting rough treatment from their hosts at Hampden.
He said: "All I know is over the tournament, they've had at least 30% more fouls against them than we have, they've had more yellow cards than we have, so that's the reality."
Sharon Smith, 52, repeatedly took a "vulnerable" man to a bank branch to withdraw the cash in an "appalling breach of trust".
Gambling addict Smith no longer works at Rowan House in Saltash, Cornwall.
Smith, of Burraton, was previously found guilty of fraud and sentenced on Friday at Truro Crown Court to two years in jail, suspended for two years.
The court heard that Smith, who had been regarded highly by her employers, had a serious gambling addiction, leading her to devise the plan.
She told her 68-year-old victim the money taken from the bank was to pay for fees for his care.
She was convicted on 17 March of one count of fraud after a trial.
In a victim impact statement, the resident said he was angry at the "betrayal of trust" he had suffered, and his mental and physical health had deteriorated as a result.
Sentencing, Recorder Andrew Maitland said Smith was previously an "unblemished character" and had committed an "appalling breach of trust".
Jason Beal, for the defence, told the court Smith had become a "shell of her former self".
Smith was also ordered to attend a rehabilitation program and undertake 200 hours of community work.
Armed officers were called after reports of a woman being assaulted at a property in Tracey Court, off Hibbert Street, Luton, at about 13:30 GMT.
The 24-year-old man was shot by an officer during the incident.
He was taken to hospital and died at 14:50 GMT. The force has referred the incident to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
A spokeswoman for Bedfordshire Police said the man, who was described as white and British, was initially treated at the scene by officers and paramedics.
His family has been informed.
Chief constable Jon Boutcher said: "First and foremost our thoughts are very much with the family of the man involved in this tragic incident.
"The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been informed, as is standard protocol when someone has died following police contact, and as such it would be inappropriate for us to comment any further at this stage."
The police watchdog confirmed it had sent investigators to the scene and also to the hospital.
In a statement. the IPCC said: "The investigation is in its early stages and no further information is available at this time."

The world number four dropped four shots in five holes in the middle of his second round but carded a level-par 71 to remain on two under par overall.
"That stretch was difficult and I am just glad I got a shot back coming in," said the 27-year-old.
His fellow Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell just made the cut by one.
Phil Mickelson (-10) leads by one from Sweden Henrik Stenson at the halfway stage.
When McDowell finished his round on Friday he was disappointed to have fallen to four over, having been on level par at the turn.
At that stage the cut was projected at two over, but it was later changed and McDowell's rounds of 75 and 71 seemed likely to be just enough.
McIlroy, six shots off the pace after the first round, got birdies on the fourth, sixth and seventh to move to five under par and into a share of fifth place.
The 2014 winner's impressive effort was stalled by missing short putts for par on the ninth and 10th and there were further bogeys on 12 and 12 with a birdie on the 16th restoring him to two under par.
"It was tough out there. I feel I have played two good rounds but I am still eight shots behind," added McIlroy who had the worst of the difficult conditions on the second day at Royal Troon.
"I need a fast start tomorrow, something like 30 on the front nine to get up the leaderboard."

Europe's Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke and two-times Open winner Padraig Harrington safely made the cut, both sitting on one over going into the weekend.
Ireland's Shane Lowry (+7) and Paul Dunne (+13) did not make the cut.

It's thought to have been caused by a build up of cooking fats and oils that people have washed down their sinks.
This video was taken during an attempt to clear the sewer this month and shows a blockage roughly one metre wide.
The company that look after the drains in Wales has started a campaign to get people to think more about what they put down their sinks.
Although a 'fatberg' isn't dangerous for our health, blocked sewers can cause flooding in homes and communities.
It isn't the first time it has happened in the UK - last year a fatberg was discovered in West London.
Christopher and Sharon Bell, from Killingbeck in Leeds, have been described as "hard-working" by neighbours.
The BBC understands the couple had two grown-up children and a third, teenage child.
In a statement, their family said they were "deeply saddened" by the deaths.
There was "very little information surrounding the circumstances of the tragedy", the family said, but they would work with authorities to establish what happened.
"Our thoughts are with all those affected", they added.
Adrian Thompson, of Northern Rail, said Mr Bell worked for the firm at Leeds station.
He was "a much loved and highly valued colleague who will be sadly missed", he said.
Mrs Bell was said to be a health and care worker.
Mark Brady, a neighbour of the couple who had known them for 28 years, said: "It's absolutely devastating, I've watched his kids grow up and his grandkids grow up.
"It's absolutely ridiculous and sad.
"They worked hard saving up to have nice holidays like this."
Norman Jarvis, the couple's next-door neighbour, said the Bells were a hard-working couple who worked unsociable hours
Thirty of the 38 victims of the attack, at a beach resort in Sousse on Friday, are thought to be British.
Tunisian authorities have arrested several people on suspicion of helping gunman Seifeddine Rezgui.
The 23-year-old student, who had links to the Islamic State jihadist group, was shot dead by police after the killings.
Stephen Hearle, 63, attacked his victim - who was then aged between 16 and 19 - in Alvechurch, Worcestershire, in 1987, police said.
He admitted a total of four charges, including rape and indecent assault, when he appeared at Worcester Crown Court.
Hearle, of Hunters Walk in Birmingham, was remanded into custody to await sentencing on 24 November.
Police intervened to calm the incident in Bonifacio, local media reported.
Staff and pupils at French schools are banned from wearing religious symbols - but parents are not.
Tensions between Muslims and other locals have been simmering in southern France, particularly after a jihadist in a lorry murdered 86 people in Nice.
Monday's incident in Bonifacio took place as children returned to school after the summer holiday.
The parents who blocked the women said they were unhappy because their children were reprimanded if staff saw their Christian crosses.
Tensions have been simmering in southern France and Corsica, especially following the jihadist massacre of 86 people by a lorry driver on the seafront at Nice on 14 July.
Up to 30 towns and villages imposed bans on women wearing full-body swimsuits known as "burkinis" but the top French court has since said the action breaches basic freedoms.
Last month two villagers and three men of North African origin were hurt in a brawl on a beach in the Corsican village of Sisco. The local prosecutor said the three North African men, from a nearby town , had wanted the beach for themselves.
The Islamic veil across Europe
Why do some people find the burkini offensive?
France, where the separation of state and religion is enshrined in law, introduced in 2004 a series of bans on overt religious symbols in various public and state-run places.
In May a top EU court adviser said EU employers may be able to ban Muslim staff from wearing headscarves to work as long as it was part of a general prohibition on all religious symbols.
The full-face Islamic veil, or niqab, has been banned in public places in France since 2011.
Vladimir Anikeev's group "Shaltai Boltai" (Humpty Dumpty) was notorious for hacks including the Twitter account of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
He was tried amid tight secrecy and convicted of unauthorised access to computer information.
Anikeev argued he was defending freedom of information and the internet.
A former journalist, he denied that Humpty Dumpty was political or had links to the FSB security service. Two other men have also been accused in the case, Alexander Filinov and Konstantin Teplyakov.
Among the Kremlin figures he was accused of targeting were presidential aide Andrei Belousov, the prime minister's press secretary Natalya Timakova and state TV presenter Dmitry Kiselyov, who also heads the Sputnik news agency.
Anikeev's defence said it would not contest the sentence but would make a plea for early release, news agency Ria Novosti reported. He has already spent several months in custody.
Earlier this year, the BBC interviewed another member of the Humpty Dumpty group, Alexander Glazastikov, in Estonia.
Initially the group was "a politically-oriented project in opposition to the Kremlin" that targeted domestic corruption, he said.
Then he claimed that last year Anikeev had been approached by a senior member of the FSB. An FSB official was among those arrested earlier this year.
Skills Development Scotland, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, ScotlandIS and Education Scotland are backing the £250,000 fund called Digital Xtra.
Among the aims of the scheme is to support extracurricular computing clubs for youngsters aged 16 and under.
A panel will evaluate submissions for funding.
Representatives from technology businesses, Scottish government and education will be on the panel.
Steuart and Tom Walton and their firm RZC Investments will now own a controlling stake in the business.
Founder and chief executive Simon Mottram, who has only ever held a minority stake, said the deal marked "an exciting day" for the company.
Current shareholders, including Mr Mottram and private equity firm Active Investors, will retain smaller stakes.
How Rapha pedalled its way to success
Mr Mottram said the investment would enable Rapha to accelerate its global expansion plans.
"It heralds the start of the next stage of our journey and is testament to the growth and potential that people see in Rapha and in cycling," he added.
Rival firms, including Aston Martin shareholder Investindustrial, were reported to have been interested in Rapha, which was valued at a reported £200m.
Founded in London in 2004, selling directly to consumers via its website and from a handful of shops, Rapha is today one of the biggest names in cycling clothing.
The firm is popular among serious amateur cyclists, and previously supplied the kit to Team Sky, the leading British professional cycling team that includes Chris Froome, the four-times winner of Tour de France.
Rapha saw its revenues grow by 30% in the year to January to £63m.
Despite the firm's current success, Mr Mottram faced difficulties when he was first trying to secure funding to start the business back in 2001.
Mr Mottram told the BBC he was seen as a risky investment at the time because it was a number of years before the current boom in the popularity of cycling began.
"No bank would touch me," he said.
"Who was really interested in cycling back in 2001 and 2002? It was just something us weirdos did."
Mr Mottram, who had previously worked in brand development, was finally able to secure the funding from six wealthy private investors and "a long trail of friends and family".
The overall investment deal meant that from day one he only had a minority stake in the business.
The company tweeted on Thursday: "Forecast: Winter weather ahead! @DisneyAnimation developing #Frozen2."
It was accompanied by a picture of sisters Elsa and Anna, with Sven the reindeer and Kristoff.
Disney also confirmed that the directors of the first film, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, are returning.
Jennifer Lee tweeted: "At last, I can say - FROZEN 2!!!! I'm beyond excited to create alongside my Frozen family!"
There's no news on a release date yet.
Those of you who can't wait for the sequel can see a seven-minute follow-up film called Frozen Fever in cinemas later this month.
It's being shown at screenings of new Disney film Cinderella.
Frozen was released at the end of 2013 and went on to become the highest-grossing animation of all time, and the fifth biggest film overall.
So far it's raked in $1.274 billion (£857 million) worldwide.
The movie won two Oscars in 2014 - best animated feature and best original song for Let It Go.

The boy, who is in his mid-teens, approached the girl on a cycle path in South Queensferry at about 14:00 on Friday.
The girl immediately went home and told her parents what had happened.
Officers said it was a "deeply concerning incident" that had caused great distress to the girl.
The teenager left on foot shortly after the incident, which took place behind the South Queensferry Bowling Club.
He walked east in the direction of Newhalls Road and may have been seen by several drivers in the area.
Police described him as white, about 5ft 4ins, of a medium build with brown hair brushed forward. He was wearing a royal blue round neck t-shirt, navy jeans and was possibly carrying an old black and blue rucksack.
Det Insp Julie Marshall said: "This is a deeply concerning incident that has caused a great deal of distress to the young victim as well as her family.
"She has shown tremendous courage and has been able to supply us with a very strong description of the suspect and I urge anyone who has relevant information to contact police immediately."
She added: "Our inquiries are ongoing but I can reassure the public that we will use all resources at our disposal to trace this individual as quickly as possible."
The procession of decorated cabs ferried groups of children with special needs and illnesses for a day.
The children were taken to Yellowcraig beach in East Lothian.
The tradition, which dates back to 1965, sees prizes awarded for fancy dress and unsuspecting passers-by soaked by water pistols.
The BBC comedy last aired on Christmas Day in 1978.
The sketch reunites Crawford, 74, with on-screen wife Betty (Michele Dotrice), and features an appearance from Olympic cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins, leading to one of Frank's typical disasters.
"I am thrilled and delighted to have been asked to bring Frank back," he said.
Dotrice said it would be an "absolute joy to be reunited again with Frank" and that it was fitting "for it is such a wonderful cause".
Sir Bradley added: "I am a huge fan of Michael so it's an absolute honour to be asked to be involved alongside such an icon of British television... and all for a great cause."
When the show wrapped in 1978, Crawford went on to star in the original production of The Phantom of the Opera and other successful Andrew Lloyd Webber productions such as The Wizard Of Oz.
Sport Relief Night airs on BBC One on 18 March from 19:00 GMT.
Sales were down by 15% at General Motors, 10% at Fiat Chrysler and 7.5% at Ford compared with July 2016.
After several years of record growth, July looks set to become the fifth month in a row to see a fall in overall US car sales.
The fall comes amid weak in consumer income and spending growth in the US.
Consumer spending edged up by just 0.1% from May to June, while income growth was basically flat, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported on Tuesday.
Mustafa Mohatarem, chief economist at General Motors, said he expected sales to improve in the coming months although they were unlikely to match last year's record.
"Key US economic fundamentals remain supportive of strong vehicle sales," he said in a statement.
"Under the current economic conditions, we anticipate the second half of 2017 will be much stronger than the first half."
Why are US car sales falling?
2016: The year the car industry's revolution moved into top gear
US car manufacturers have been deliberately scaling back sales to rental car companies, because they often bring them little in the way of profits.
It is that strategy that drove some of the steepest sales declines last month.
But the retail sector has also softened, despite strong demand for SUVs.
Overall US vehicle sales at four big firms - Ford, General Motors, Fiat Chrysler and Toyota - have fallen by between about 3% and 7% so far this year.
Ford expects retail sales across the industry to fall by about 6% for the year as a whole.
Ford vice president Mark LaNeve said he thought the figures were skewed by strong incentives some firms offered to families, which boosted sales last year.
"I don't think it's as bad as it looks," he told analysts and reporters on Tuesday.
Shares in US car companies fell after the latest figures were released.
General Motors closed 3.39% lower, while Ford finished down by 2.41%.
Toyota, which is listed on the stock exchange in Tokyo, saw its shares rise after its sales report showed it was one of the few companies to buck the trend last month.
The company sold 222,057 vehicles in July in the US, up 3.6% compared with the same time last year. The firm's US sales are down 2.5% for the year so far.
The vote - starting on 5 November - has been expected since the union's leaders agreed to a ballot last month.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and the BMA leadership have since met in an attempt to resolve the dispute.
But it now appears more than 50,000 medics will get the chance to vote over whether they want to take action.
The last time doctors went on strike was over a pension dispute in 2012.
The current row is over a new contract, due to be introduced in August 2016.
What is the junior doctors row about?

Trouble at hospital mill?
Critics have argued the deal could mean 15% pay cuts for doctors, with "normal hours" re-classed as being from 07:00 to 22:00 from Monday to Saturday.
It means extra payments for unsociable working will only be given outside of these times, rather than for work outside the current arrangements of 07:00 to 19:00 Monday to Friday.
The government has described the current contracts as "outdated" and "unfair", pointing out they were introduced in the 1990s.
Ministers drew up plans to change the contract in 2012 but talks broke down last year.
The government has indicated it will impose the new contract in England next year.
Scotland and Wales have said they do not want to introduce the changes, while Northern Ireland has yet to make a decision.
BMA junior doctors leader, Dr Johann Malawana, said the decision to ballot members had not been "taken lightly".
"The government's refusal to work with us through genuine negotiations and their threat to impose new contracts that we believe are unsafe for patients and unfair for doctors, leaves us with few options," he said.
The landslide hit early on Sunday at a site in Fujian province's Taining county, where a hydropower project was being built, Xinhua news agency said.
The landslide is believed to have been triggered by heavy rain.
China's president and prime minister both called for an all-out effort to save the missing men.
Officials said on Sunday evening that more than 600 rescuers were at the scene, using sniffer dogs, specialist equipment and heavy excavator vehicles.
Thirteen injured people are in hospital in a stable condition, Xinhua reported.
The agency said rainfall in the Taining region had been 35% higher than average this year. In the 24 hours before the landslide, 215.7mm of rain fell in the area around the construction site.
A leaked report also alleges Mahboob Hussain tipped off his son about the upcoming sale of a Sandwell Council property
Author James Goudie QC suggested Labour's Mr Hussain committed six council code of conduct breaches.
Mr Hussain, now suspended by Labour, has previously denied any wrongdoing.
He said he could not comment now as the contents of the report were "confidential".
Former economy chief councillor Ian Jones and Mr Hussain stood down from the ruling cabinet after investigations began, but both had their suspensions from the Labour party lifted before elections on 5 May.
Mr Hussain has been suspended afresh, the party confirmed.
The authority commissioned law firm Gowling WLG to investigate alleged irregularities in the sale of the authority's former properties from 2011-2013.
Publication of this report has been delayed after legal action by "one of the parties named", the council said, but documents leaked to the BBC shed light on its findings.
On the parking tickets, Mr Hussain gave evidence denying he sought favourable treatment.
Mr Goudie QC found Mr Hussain requested "in effect" for parking tickets for his wife and an unnamed son to be cancelled.
He said the wife's penalty was cancelled, while his son's was reduced.
This was among three occasions Mr Hussain allegedly broke the Member Code for councillors to help his family, according to the QC.
Gowling WLG investigated alleged irregularities in the sale of the authority's former properties from 2011-2013, including three old public toilet blocks and a former coroner's office in Smethwick.
A parallel police investigation ended in March with no further action.
Mr Goudie said publication of the Gowling report was "strongly in the public interest".
The QC suggested Mr Hussain's breaches of the Member Code included:
Mr Hussain gave evidence he did not know who was buying the toilet blocks because the purchase was through a company name, not the name of his friend.
He said he had not been consulted and had not been aware of the price.
Mr Jones gave evidence saying he did not know the relationship between Mr Hussain and the toilet blocks' buyer. The QC said this meant there was no misconduct issue by Mr Jones.
Mr Jones also said he could not comment now because the report was confidential. He has previously dubbed the investigations a "witch-hunt" and disputed the truth of the allegations.
Mr Hafeez, who was arrested last year, provided no evidence to the council's solicitors despite requests, the QC wrote. He has not yet responded to further questions from the BBC.
Police told him in November 2015 he would face no action.
He said in November his arrest "did not relate to the sale or purchase of any former Sandwell Council properties" and he was "considering taking legal action against a number of individuals and organisations".
Caoimhin McSherry, 22, from Belfast, was also disqualified from driving for five years.
He earlier pleaded guilty to causing serious injury to Malcolm Robinson by driving dangerously last September.
Sentence had been deferred at Edinburgh Sheriff Court until Thursday.
McSherry had also admitted failing to stop after the accident on 27 September failing to report the accident, and, having 29 microgrammes of alcohol in his breath when the limit is 22.
Fiscal Depute Rosanna Chapman told Sheriff Norman McFadyen that McSherry had been working in Edinburgh since July 2015 along with two colleagues.
They were staying in the Travelodge at the airport, socialised with each other at the weekends and planned to watch the Ireland v Scotland rugby international after work.
The men finished work at 14:00 and went to a pub in Victoria Street.
"They consumed a number of pints of beer," said the fiscal.
She added that the men had discussed buying some food and getting a taxi back to the hotel, but McSherry said he would drive them home.
Ms Chapman said: "His colleagues told him that was not a good idea as he had been drinking."
As the men were walking towards Waverley Bridge, the fiscal said McSherry refused to get a taxi and told the others he would drive them to the hotel.
"The others decided it was best to go with the accused," she added.
At about 21:50, Mr Robinson, who had been in the Grassmarket also watching the rugby match, was making his way over a pedestrian crossing.
McSherry was approaching in his car and, said the fiscal, one of his colleagues told him to "watch out".
"The accused attempted to apply the brakes, but struck Mr Robinson on the right hand side of his body causing him to go up on the bonnet of the car and hit the right-hand side of the windscreen which cracked," said Ms Chapman.
She continued: "Mr Robinson fell off the bonnet onto the ground and was lying unconscious.
"The accused accelerated his car and drove over Mr Robinson. A number of people saw him just driving over the man and dialled 999 for the police and ambulance."
Ms Chapman said Mr Robinson was placed on life-support and suffered a collapsed lung, damage to his liver and abdomen, damage to his right shoulder, hip and fractured ribs and spent six weeks in hospital.
He still had restricted movement in his shoulder and the psychological impact of the accident had led to insomnia and anxiety. He was still receiving physiotherapy.
Defence solicitor Ewan Roy told Sheriff McFadyen that his client's actions had been "deplorable" and he would have to live with the shame of the incident.
Sentencing McSherry, Sheriff McFadyen described the events as "a shocking sequence of drink-driving".
Clever clogs Lloyds, that most politically astute of banks, has responded by announcing that if you want to borrow more than £500,000, you will only get the loan if its value is no greater than four times the income of your household.
"Wah?" you may say, if you are of a certain age. "When I was a lad, you were lucky to get a loan of three times income."
Which only goes to show that some pretty racy mortgages are being written by banks and building societies in the London and south east.
Perhaps the most amazing thing said by Lloyds yesterday is that this new constraint would have an impact on 8% of its London home loans business (and see my piece on last night's News at Ten for more on all of this).
Bloomin' 'eck.
So to repeat what I said yesterday, it would be a bit odd if the Bank of England's new Financial Policy Committee did nought next month to take some of the heat out of the residential property market.
Anyway, this is a long pre-amble to a tangential point, which is that not all Mark Carney's colleagues at the Bank regard the bubblelicious housing market as the most worrying possible sinkhole on our journey to the sunny uplands of renewed prosperity.
Which may surprise you a bit. But they take the view that after years of stagnation, property prices were bound to get a bit racy, once we all got a sniff of economic recovery. But that the Bank has important new tools to insulate banks and the wider economy from extreme housing-related shocks.
Hmmm. We'll see. The Financial Policy Committee's new tools are untested. Gawd knows whether they'll be used in a timely and appropriate way, or whether they'll have adverse unexpected consequences.
But I suppose the bigger point is that British homes aren't the only asset currently looking a bit toppy, in the jargon.
I am prohibited from recounting the contents of private conversations with Bank brains on all this. But I can give you this resonant quote from Charlie Bean, the retiring deputy governor of the Bank of England, who last night gave a valedictory speech at the London School of Economics.
This is what Mr Bean said: "Implied volatilities in many financial markets have been at historically low levels for some time. Together with low safe interest rates in the advance economies, that has underpinned a renewed search for yield and encouraged carry trades [where investors borrow cheaply to invest in assets offering a nominally higher return, but where that return is not necessarily higher when underlying risk is taken into account].
"Taken in isolation, this is eerily reminiscent of what happened in the run-up to the crisis".
Or to put it another way, those controlling the world's great pools of money believe the world is a much safer place than it really is, and are taking foolhardy risks with their investments.
In fact, the Bank's internal analysis shows that investors are behaving more irrationally and exuberantly even than perhaps implied by Mr Bean - the volatility of a raft of the world's most liquid and important assets, from shares, to currencies to government bonds, is lower even than at the peak of the boom before the devastating crash of 2007-8.
So as and when any of the following possible accidents materialise - exacerbation of turmoil in Ukraine, a hard financial landing in China, cack-handed end of the era of free money in the developed economies, inter alia - "we may yet encounter a few potholes".
Or so Mr Bean puts it, perhaps euphemistically.
One of the great possible sources of future instability is the great overhang of government and official debt acquired by the central banks of the big rich economies through the money-creation exercise known as quantitative easing.
Mr Bean signals that the Bank of England will not wish merely to sit on the £375bn of gilts or UK government bonds it has bought, and see that debt mountain gradually shrink as the Treasury repays on the assorted due dates.
If the Bank were to do that, the unwinding of quantitative easing, the withdrawal of the new cash from the economy, would take around 50 years - which would be too long, he seems to think.
So at some point, he says, the Bank of England will start to flog some of this stuff back to investors.
When?
Well it ain't going to be very soon. Because there is a risk that investors and the market would react quite adversely - pushing down the price of debt, and increasing implied interest rates pretty sharply.
There could, therefore, be an over-reaction, in which the price of money would rise sharply, to the detriment of the wider economy.
Which is why Mr Bean says the Bank cannot start to sell its gilts till the official interest rate has been raised to a high enough level, such that the Bank could make an emergency cut in it, as a form of evasive action.
But in spelling that out, Mr Bean has telegraphed to hedge funds and other investors the rules of a potentially lucrative game - the losers of which could be all of us. In that the rational thing for any investor to do would be to dump gilts in size as the Bank's policy rate was raised, to pre-empt and perhaps even deter possible gilt sales by the Bank (such that the investors could buy the gilts back at a depressed price, in the expectation of a bounce).
Lucky Mr Bean is, of course, exiting the crucible of all this potential future mayhem before we find out whether the Bank of England will show wisdom and sensitivity in disposing of the debt and withdrawing £375bn of cash from the economy, or will emulate his famously accident-prone namesake.

After winning gold in the 200m sprint, Usain ran over to thank the audience for their support.
However, a Chinese camerman riding a segway, lost control and crashed into Bolt knocking them both over.
Luckily they weren't hurt and Bolt sprang back up again.
Usain said he doesn't think the fall will impact his next race in the men's 4x100m relay on Saturday.
Kevin de Bruyne was the first to miss in the opening period, seeing the Dutch goalkeeper push his effort away, and Sergio Aguero saw the same outcome in the second half.
Despite dominating possession, City went behind as Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring with a cool finish.
Nolito headed in for the hosts from David Silva's inch-perfect cross, but De Bruyne had a drive brilliantly saved by Stekelenburg, as City failed to find the winner.
Following their perfect start to the season when they won their opening six games, City have stumbled in their past two with defeat at Tottenham and this draw against Everton.
Boss Pep Guardiola stood scratching his head on the touchline in the second half, during a game in which his side had 19 shots and 72% possession but only found the net once.
Leroy Sane was given his first Premier League start for City and the German international showed his promise with an impressive performance, while Raheem Sterling also threatened with his pace.
But it was the host's philosophy of trying to work the ball into the net which let them down, finding a resolute Everton defence that sat deep to snuff out wave after wave of opposition attack.
Having somehow fallen behind, City did manage to grab an equaliser through substitute Nolito's header from close range.
Ronald Koeman's side could have broken into the top-four with victory, and took the lead against the run of play through Lukaku, who ran clear from the halfway line and slid home the opener.
Team-mate Ashley Williams showed his steeliness at the back by making 13 clearances - more than any other player on the pitch.
But defensive partner Phil Jagielka had a shocker, conceding both penalties after tripping Silva by sticking his leg out and a hack on Aguero inside the area.
Everton had goalkeeper Stekelenburg to thank for keeping out two spot-kicks, as well as further excellent stops from Aguero - who started on the bench - and De Bruyne.
The Belgian, in his attempts to get City on the front foot, lost possession 32 times in the match.
Centre-back John Stones made 77 league appearances for Everton before joining City in the summer for a huge £47.5m.
Although he is now learning to bring the ball forward at the right time and clearing it to safety when required, there is still work to do on the Englishman's game.
For Everton's goal, he found himself beyond the halfway line, failing to win the ball as Bolasie intelligently nipped in front to nick the ball.
It left City with a gaping hole in defence, and Lukaku against Gael Clichy was no contest as the Belgian shrugged past the Frenchman to score.
Former England defender Martin Keown on BBC Radio 5 live:
"It was a good, honest performance from Everton and they deserve this point today. For all Manchester City's dominance you have to praise what has been a gallant performance by Everton.
"You look at the two managers and Ronald Koeman will be happier than Pep Guardiola. City dominate and play football of the highest quality but just missed that little bit in the final third today."
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "We did absolutely everything. Everton created just one chance which was a goal. I'm a little bit sad and disappointed for the players. But it's a big compliment to Everton and Ronald Koeman so I say to them 'well done'."
Everton manager Ronald Koeman: "I am satisfied with a point because not many teams leave this stadium with a point. You need to be a little bit lucky and a goalkeeper to have the match of his life, and you need a work-rate from your team. A big compliment to the team because we fight."

Robin Barton was prevented from selling Art Buff after a charity obtained a High Court injunction following its removal in 2014.
The tenant of the building, Dreamland Leisure Limited, was told it did not have rights over the painting.
Mr Barton said he only later discovered a freeholder owned the building.
Art Buff, which depicts a woman staring at an empty plinth, appeared on a wall in Folkestone in September 2014.
Mr Barton said he had been under the impression the mural was owned by Dreamland Leisure Limited which is linked to Dreamland park owners, the Godden family.
He admitted he should have checked who owned the painting.
"It was only months later it was discovered there was a 'larger freeholder'," he said.
"I work on handshakes only, so it was a mistake on my part," Mr Barton told BBC South East Inside Out programme.
Art Buff appeared in the heart of Folkestone's Creative Quarter during the 2014 Folkestone Triennial and was removed before the end of the art festival.
In September 2014 Mr Barton sent the painting to Miami to be sold at auction on behalf of the Godden family, expecting it to fetch up to £470,000, but it did not sell.
"They tend to take two or three years to sell," he said.
"With the Art Buff piece itself, it's not a pretty thing so you have to have a back story which is going to make it collectable to someone."
The Creative Foundation, a charity which runs the Folkestone Triennial art event, obtained an injunction in the High Court against Dreamland Leisure Limited and Jeremy and Jordan Godden preventing them from selling or otherwise dealing with it.
It was returned to Folkestone in October but has not gone back on public display.
BBC Inside Out South East is on BBC One in the South East region on Monday 25 January at 19:30 BST, nationwide on the BBC iPlayer for 28 days thereafter.
The deal to bring the 24-year-old to Teesside exceeds the £12.7m paid to Dutch side Heerenveen for Brazil striker Afonso Alves in January 2008.
Forest said the fee agreed met a buyout clause in Assombalonga's contract.
Assombalonga overcame a career-threatening knee injury to score 14 goals in 33 games for Forest last term.
"I can't wait to get started and train with the boys," he told Boro's club website. "There's a good feeling around the place. From the minute I walked in it felt right."
Assombalonga, who had signed a new five-year deal at the City Ground in September 2016, also broke Forest's record fee when he joined from Peterborough in August 2014 for around £5.5m.
He caught the attention of Forest with 33 goals in 58 games in his one season at London Road after prolific spells at Braintree and Southend United.
Boro have already added Denmark forward Martin Braithwaite from Toulouse, Norwich midfielder Jonny Howson and Derby defender Cyrus Christie to their senior squad on permanent deals this summer, as well as signing defender Connor Roberts on loan from Swansea.

When you think where Bangladesh were after lunch - 171-1 - to be bowled out for 220 is a real transformation.
I thought Bangladesh, who were just 23 runs short of their victory target in Chittagong, having never beaten England before, played it very well to start with.
From that Chittagong Test they realised England are vulnerable in these conditions and they thought they'd go out and chase them.
They played very aggressively, trying to set up a game to bowl England out twice.
Tamim played brilliantly for his 104 and had great support from Mominul Haque, who made 66 in that second-wicket partnership of 170.
It was the introduction of Ben Stokes that changed the game and he's a real talisman for England now.
He's feared by the opposition, deeply respected and he has earned it.
Man of the match in the first Test, he bowled brilliantly again, with 2-13 from 11 overs.
He switched ends to bowl from the far end and got his line right, he reverse swung the ball both ways, not much - just enough - and had them guessing.
Stokes just didn't give them anything and with the Bangladesh batsmen trying to be positive against Moeen at the other end, they got out and the spinner picked up 5-57.
You do bowl as a pair and those two teamed up brilliantly.
The worry for England is how they are going to rest Stokes, who contributes so much with bat, ball and in the field.
They rested Stuart Broad here ahead of the five-match series in India starting next month, but how are they going to give Stokes a break?
They are going to have to try. Yet how do you leave a player like Ben Stokes out of your team - you just can't do it.
You certainly wouldn't want to play him just as a batsman, so he's not going to have a break all winter I wouldn't think. He's going to be worn out by the end of the India Test series in mid-December.
It's possible they will rest him for the three one-day matches and Twenty20 internationals that start on 15 January but for now it's Tests all the way and England face a really hard tour of India, where they simply can't leave him out.
Stokes thrives on a heavy workload in any case. All-rounders are generally like that, they relish being in the game.
Stokes gave England real control again with the ball from the one end and Moeen tightened up as well, improved his confidence and got into the wickets.
The three spinners were all a bit disappointing to start with, Tamim was positive against them and they didn't bowl very well.
They were picked off and easily milked for runs.
Left-arm spinner Zafar Ansari looked a bit nervous, which is perfectly understandable on Test debut, and Adil Rashid bowled a couple of nice googlies to the left-handers but overall they weren't creating any pressure.
They didn't bowl a maiden between them until about the 20th over they bowled as a unit, and that's an indication of the lack of control they had.
That still remains an issue but Moeen bowls good balls and gets people out.
It will continue to be a case of trying to get some consistency out of him and build pressure with maidens, but he is still England's number one spinner.
England lost early wickets again and the top order is struggling.
When you are batting and the ball is spinning you need a fair amount of luck to survive and, at the moment, England don't seem to have a lot of that, but then Bangladesh didn't either.
All it does is put into context how brilliantly Tamim played for his third hundred against England. We were very lucky to watch it.
Jonathan Agnew was speaking to BBC Sport's Jamie Lillywhite
Maddi Runkles, 18, who attends a small private Christian school in Maryland, has been told she is not welcome at the event, on 2 June, because she must be "accountable for her immorality".
Instead, her parents have decided to organise a special party for their daughter the following day.
The decision by the board of governors of the Heritage Academy, in Hagerstown, has drawn criticism on social media from those who say the school is showing no Christian compassion to the teenager.
"Heritage Academy has opportunity to demonstrate love & grace of Jesus. Instead choosing judgement & shame," tweeted @WineyKnitter.
Dawn McQueen-Shaw also reprimanded the school board for not allowing Ms Runkles to "walk", take part in the graduation ceremony, writing; "My Jesus would not prevent Maddi Runkles from walking, He would've walked with her! Unlike the board full of hypocrisy."
And "proud Christian" Ta Mika wrote: "The Bible says all fall short of god's glory. What happened to truth and grace?"
Ms Runkles, who had been president of the student council, is among the highest academic achievers in her year.
The teenager told CBS she had briefly considered having an abortion but "did the right thing" in deciding to keep her baby, a boy.
Various people lobbied on behalf of Ms Runkles, including her father, who eventually resigned as president of the school board over the matter.
'She was immoral'
Scott Runkles had still been on the board when his daughter was suspended for two days but stepped aside from being directly involved in the decision about her attendance at the graduation ceremony.
Mr Runkles, a bank vice-president, told the New York Times: "Typically, when somebody breaks a rule, you punish them at the time they break the rule.
"That way, the punishment is behind them, and they're moving forward with a clean slate.
"With Maddi, her punishment was set four months out.
"It's ruined her senior year."
Pupils at the school are expected to agree to a code of conduct that includes that "no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of the marriage commitment between a man and a woman".
Ms Runkles also had support from anti-abortion organisations, including Students for Life.

In a statement, the school's head teacher, David R Hobbs, wrote: "Let me clarify some facts.
"Maddi is being disciplined, not because she's pregnant, but because she was immoral... her immorality is the original choice she made that began this situation."
Mr Hobbs denied he and the board were "harsh, cruel, hard-hearted men", adding that on the night of the graduation ceremony, he wanted "God to be glorified in a dignified manner".
Mr Runkles told the New York Times his family had arranged their own graduation party for his daughter on 3 June.
Ms Runkles says she will bring up her son, who is due in September, with the support of her parents.
She has refused to name the father but has said he does not attend Heritage Academy.

Seven of the group's albums entered this week's Billboard 200 chart, with their debut 1986 record Licence to Ill the highest entry at number 18.
The trio's albums collectively sold 55,000 copies in the two days after Yauch's death, compared to 4,000 the previous week.
The rapper, better known as his alias MCA, died on 4 May of cancer aged 47.
The other albums to return to the chart included compilation Solid Gold Hits at 51, Paul's Boutique at 56 and Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 at 107.
The band's fourth album, 1994's Ill Communication also came in at 109, with Check Your Head at 124 and The Sounds of Science at 141.
In terms of digital downloads, the group also sold 151,000 tracks - up from 14,000 the week before.
The most popular track was Brass Monkey from Licensed to Ill with 15,000 downloads.
Online music streaming site Spotify also said it saw a 17-fold increase in people listening to Beastie Boys songs after Yauch's death.
Figures only account for the first two days after the rapper's death as Nielsen SoundScan - the company which tracks US music sales - collects weekly data until Sunday.
Sales for the group's music is expected to be higher next week.
Joseph Pearce, 45, from Clogharevan Park in Bessbrook, County Armagh was refused bail.
He is charged with two counts of collecting information likely to be of use to terrorists.
Mr Pearce was allegedly referred to by a co-accused as providing a "world of information" on potential targets.
He was one of a number of men arrested after a house at Ardcarn Park was raided on 10 November after being bugged by MI5 for three months.
Seven other men have already been charged with a range of terrorist offences based on this evidence.
The court was told that at the meetings, weapons and procuring explosives, fund-raising, making and transporting a bomb and potential police and prison officer targets, were also discussed.
According to the prosecution Mr Pearce attended just one of the bugged meetings, held in October.
The court heard that before he arrived, co-accused Patrick Joseph Blair was recorded phoning and asking him to join the group.
Mr Blair, 59 of Villas Park, Dundalk, was remanded last month charged with directing terrorism and membership of a proscribed organisation.
Prosecution counsel said Mr Blair could be heard telling others in the house that Pearce was a "world of information".
It was claimed that he said: "He (Mr Pearce) must've given us about four different cops, five cops, the governor, that Brit."
Mr Blair allegedly went on to claim that he was able to provide details of a specific police officer that enabled reconnaissance to be carried out.
Less than 20 minutes later Mr Pearce arrived at the house and imparted a range of information during ongoing talks, according to the prosecution.
Mr Justice Treacy was told the group discussed a pet shop in Belfast frequented by loyalist paramilitaries.
Mr Pearce then allegedly described the location of a businessman's home he had visited, the ease with which entry could be gained, the occupant's obvious wealth and vulnerability to coercion and robbery.
"He also tells how he was recently passing the college near Jordanstown, saw numerous British soldiers in uniform standing outside and described how they would be 'such a handy touch'," the prosecution lawyer said.
During the conversation it was claimed that he also named a man who recently joined the Army, giving details on where he lives.
Loyalists suspected of laundering drug money were also referred to, the court heard.
On being prompted, Mr Pearce allegedly then named a prison officer and described in detail his routine and leisure habits.
"He goes on to outline the address of a home of a relative who the prison officer often visits and how he goes rambling with his children from the address," the prosecutor said.
Opposing bail, she argued that even if he is not accused of taking part in terrorist activities, he has supplied information to facilitate others.
The court heard police plan to speak with two of the individuals named in the conversations within the next few days.
Defence lawyers contended, however, that Mr Pearce is accused of playing a lesser role than the others charged.
His barrister also claimed some of the allegations against his client were based on potentially exaggerated hearsay evidence from Mr Blair.
But refusing bail, Mr Justice Treacy pointed out that Mr Pearce is alleged to have been "an enthusiastic provider of information".
He added: "It goes without saying in the context of this case, and the ongoing terrorist campaign being conducted by dissident organisations, that these are very serious charges." | The value of Leicester City's squad could "triple or quadruple" after their Premier League title win.

The armed drone was flying near to a de-confliction zone in the country's south-east, close to the Jordanian and Iraqi borders.
A US military spokesman said this was the first time that pro-Syrian government units had attacked US-led coalition forces.
No members of the coalition forces are reported to have been hurt.
The incident happened near the al-Tanf border crossing, between Syria and Iraq, which has become a new flashpoint in the conflict.
US Col Ryan Dillon said that even if the drone had only been firing a warning shot, "it was something that showed a hostile intent, a hostile action and posed a threat to our forces because this drone had munitions that were still on it".
It is not clear exactly which of the armed elements fighting for the Syrian government was operating the drone, BBC Arab affairs analyst Sebastian Usher says.
But it is another escalation in a region that's increasingly become a new flashpoint, potentially pushing the US into direct confrontation with pro-Assad forces, our correspondent adds.

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".
The 12 teams will be able to spend £1.9m next year, £2m in 2019 and then £2.1m in 2020.
There has also been an agreement reached that clubs can have two marquee players - up from one - with exemptions for new or returning players as well as some under the age of 21.
The Rugby Football League board will vote on the proposals on Thursday.
"The clubs asked the Rugby Football League to put forward a set of proposals that would help them retain and attract the best players to the competition," said Super League executive director Roger Draper.
"We believe that when you consider all of them together, these changes could make a significant difference to helping clubs attract and retain the best talent in this league and that is something we all are determined to do."
It is below the Australian National Rugby League cap of £4.25m for 2017, while, in rugby union, the English Premiership cap is £7m.
Marquee players
New and returning players
Wigan Warriors owner Ian Lenagan: "We need the best players playing in our competition and when all of the proposals that were voted through are looked at together, the decisions that were made will provide Super League clubs the opportunity to do that."
Warrington Wolves owner Simon Moran: "If you want the competition to flourish going forward, it is very important that the best talent is kept in our league.
"I thought it was very important that the salary cap did go up and the opportunity is now there with two marquee players available to clubs to bring and retain some of the best talent in the world."
Salford Red Devils owner Marwan Koukash: "I think the decisions that were made are good for the sport and good for the competition and I am delighted with this outcome.
"We need to provide fans with the best entertainment and talent on the field and the decisions give us the opportunity to do that."
About 230,000 households switched away from SSE in the three months to the end of June.
The supplier raised its dual-fuel prices by 6.9% on 28 April.
Separately, Scottish Power said it had lost 100,000 customers in the first six months of 2017. It raised dual-fuel prices by 7.8% in March.
SSE's figures show an acceleration of customers leaving - after losing 210,000 in the whole of the previous year. It blamed a "highly competitive market".
But Scottish Power, which saw customer numbers drop from 5.4 million in the first half of 2016 to 5.3 million in 2017, said its numbers were stable.
"We have still retained more of our customers over the last five years than any other large supplier," said Keith Anderson, Scottish Power's chief corporate officer.
The figures continue the trend that has seen households leaving the big six suppliers, and moving to smaller companies.
Five of the big six have announced price rises this year - with the exception of British Gas, which promised to freeze prices until August.
The biggest price increase was Npower's. It announced a dual fuel rise of 9.8% in March, leading to calls from the regulator for it to justify such increases.
At a rally supporting Hillary Clinton, Mr Obama also urged senior Republicans to formally withdraw their endorsement of Mr Trump as presidential candidate.
Many top Republicans have distanced themselves from Mr Trump over a video in which he boasts of groping women.
Mr Trump accused them of disloyalty.
He was particularly scathing about House Speaker Paul Ryan whom he described as a "weak and ineffective" leader.
Addressing a campaign rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Tuesday evening, Mr Obama referred to Mr Trump's crude remarks about women, saying: "Now you find a situation in which the guy says stuff that nobody would find tolerable if they were applying for a job at 7-Eleven."
He said: "You don't have to be a husband or a father to say that's not right. You just have to be a decent human being."
Mr Obama questioned how senior Republican politicians could still want Mr Trump to be president.
"The fact is that now you've got people saying: 'We strongly disagree, we really disapprove... but we're still endorsing him.' They still think he should be president, that doesn't make sense to me," he told the crowd.
Mr Obama was interrupted several times by anti-Clinton campaigners but seemed unfazed, saying: "This is democracy at work. This is great."
The hecklers were escorted from the venue by security officials.
Thousands waited for more than six hours to hear Barack Obama speak in what could very well be his last visit to the battleground state as president.
The sun was out, and so were the hecklers.
The first two interrupted the president early in his address. Mr Obama, seemingly unfazed by it all, waited for the crowd to finish their booing before telling the hecklers with a wry grin to "get their own rally".
It wasn't long before Mr Obama was interrupted again. This time, the heckler was further back in the crowd. The man walked straight past us as he left, wearing a T-shirt declaring "Hillary for prison 2016".
In the third and final interruption, a man entered the cordoned-off area, screamed something at the president and tore a Clinton-Kaine campaign sign in two.
The man was escorted away and President Obama carried on smoothly, handling it all with good humour. The Greensboro crowd seemed to appreciate the laugh, in a campaign that's turned decidedly nasty.
In another development, Hillary Clinton's Campaign Chairman John Podesta has said that Russia was behind an apparent hacking of his emails and may have been colluding with the Trump campaign.
He said on Tuesday that the FBI was investigating the hacking of the emails that were published by WikiLeaks.
The 2005 video released on Friday revealed Mr Trump describing how he had sought to have sex with a married woman and making other sexually aggressive comments about women.
Nearly half of the 331 incumbent Republican senators, House members and governors have condemned the lewd remarks and about 10% have called for Mr Trump to drop out of the race, according to Reuters news agency.
On Monday, Mr Ryan said he would not defend Mr Trump over the remarks.
He told fellow House Republicans he would instead focus on congressional elections to ensure Republicans could maintain legislative control.
Mr Trump fired back in a string of tweets, saying the "shackles" had been removed, allowing him to "fight for America the way I want to". He said he neither wanted nor needed Mr Ryan's support.

Mr Trump said "disloyal" Republicans "come at you from all sides. They don't know how to win - I will teach them!"
He attacked Senator John McCain, who has denounced Mr Trump's conduct and faces a close re-election battle in Arizona, as "foul-mouthed".
Despite a widening divide within the Republican Party, some members insist they are sticking by Mr Trump.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said he was "really disturbed" by Mr Trump's comments about women but still planned to support him, saying the election was "about bigger issues than that".
Texas Senator and former rival Ted Cruz also said he would still cast his ballot for Mr Trump, telling a Texas TV station that Mrs Clinton was an "absolute disaster".
Mr Trump delivered a gaffe while addressing supporters in Florida on Tuesday, telling them to go out and vote on the wrong date.
ABC News footage showed him saying: "Go and register. Make sure you get out and vote, November 28." The election is on 8 November.
A recent PRRI/Atlantic poll suggested Mrs Clinton holds a 49-38 lead over her opponent.

Drogba is the Ivory Coast's all-time top scorer, with 65 goals in 105 international appearances.
Montreal president Joey Saputo said the signing made it "one of the biggest days in club history".
He added: "It's an honour to welcome Didier Drogba to the Impact.
"From the first conversation I had with him, I felt that he really wanted to play in Montreal.
"His arrival will be beneficial in every aspect."
Drogba will be a designated player at the Canadian side, which means his wages will not be restricted by the MLS salary cap.
Impact, MLS members since 2012, finished bottom of the table last season.
Drogba follows former Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard in moving to the North American league, with the 37-year-old having joined New York City.

That's going by his first formal interview on Monday night, a decade after becoming the latest member of the India's fabled Nehru-Gandhi dynasty to enter politics.
What the leader of India's ruling Congress party appeared not to be sure of was how he - and his party - should deal with leaders touched by the taint of corruption or even those who were allegedly involved in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots that happened under the watch of his father, then-Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
"All said and done, that was brave of Rahul Gandhi," tweeted journalist Tunku Varadarajan about the 80-minute interview on the Times Now channel. "How many Indian PM candidates have offered themselves up for prime time interview?" (Mr Gandhi will lead the party's campaign in the forthcoming general elections.)
Mr Gandhi even chose India's most aggressive prime-time anchor Arnab Goswami to grill him.
Having said that, the media-shy leader's first proper interview on TV turned out to be a mixed performance.
Mr Gandhi was composed and reasonably articulate - if slightly pedantic - while setting out his vision for much-needed reforms in his party and for India's development.
He was less than impressive when questioned about why his party had failed to crack down on corruption.
He avoided direct comments on his arch rival, Narendra Modi, the prime ministerial candidate of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, and the leader of the new anti-corruption party, Arvind Kejriwal, whose Aam Aadmi Party made a spectacular debut in the polls in Delhi and now rules the capital with the minority support of Mr Gandhi's party.
There were also what many say were tired platitudes which couldn't have won Mr Gandhi new admirers. Some examples: "Innocent people dying is a horrible thing"; "Anybody who is corrupt should be punished"; and "women are the backbone of this country". He occasionally lapsed into rhetoric and regurgitated lines.
Mr Gandhi's agenda for development is unexceptionable.
He used the words "empower" and "empowerment" interchangeably 22 times. He mentioned the word "system" - the existing one, which is broken, and the need to change it - 70 times.
He mentioned women - and their key role - 17 times. Many found it a bit odd that he spoke about himself in the third person seven times.
Mr Gandhi laid the blame on the obvious devil - the system - for all India's ills.
He quite rightly said the system had to change in order to remould India's politics, which shuts out outsiders.
But then he also said he had seen his family members, people he loved, "destroyed by the system". It was not immediately clear how the tragic killings of his grandmother Indira Gandhi and his father Rajiv Gandhi could be attributed to the system.
He said the 2002 Gujarat riots also happened because of the system, "because people don't have a voice in the system". Again, it was not clear how.
Mr Gandhi also surprised many by curiously painting himself as a rebel of sorts.
He said he was being attacked by his opponents because he was "doing things dangerous to the system". He said he was not "superficial and thinking deeply and long term".
Observers say that Mr Kejriwal had already taken pole position as the rebel of Indian politics with his unpredictable and unconventional politics and Mr Gandhi may have arrived late to the show.
Some analysts say Mr Gandhi also betrayed his inexperience in politics.
He accused Mr Modi's government of not doing enough to stop the Gujarat riots in 2002, but floundered when asked to back that up with evidence, even forgetting that a minister in Mr Modi's cabinet had been sent to prison for her involvement.
When asked about Congress's prospects in the election, he declared confidently that his party would win - despite opinion polls pointing to a heavy defeat - and then declared he was a "serious politician" who was not interested in power for power's sake.
So has Rahul Gandhi now truly come of age?
The former editor of Outlook magazine, Vinod Mehta, said Mr Gandhi emerged as a "sincere, candid and passionate person, seriously interested in changing India" in the interview.
But, Mr Mehta said, he had "no answers to specific charges of corruption". Mr Gandhi, he said, was "half a leader".
Other analysts like Siddharth Varadarajan said though Mr Gandhi did a decent job of sketching out a future vision for his party, he did badly when it came to "defending the indefensible" - corruption and the alleged role of party leaders in the 1984 riots.
"When things got hairy," says Mr Varadarajan, "he spoke about [the] system and empowerment."
In the end, analysts say, Mr Gandhi proved - once again - that though his heart is in the right place, he remains a prisoner of his dynastic party's legacy.
So will Monday night's "landmark" interview energise his party workers and excite the voters? We will only know in a few months time when Indians cast their ballots in the world's biggest election.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of birds are killed on the bases, mostly sold for food in what has become a multi-million pound black-market trade.
The crime team is being increased from a squad of six to 11.
Conservationists welcomed the move but point out that they must patrol a base that sprawls over 100 square miles.
They warn the problem is getting "worse and worse".
It's before dawn on Cape Pyla, not far from the party resort of Ayia Napa. A British police unit is scouting for signs of illegal bird poaching.
This is part of "Operation Freedom," a fresh effort by the Sovereign Base Areas (SBA) authorities here to stop the trapping and killing of songbirds on British territory.
Despite the expansion in personnel, the area they must cover is massive - a key resting place for millions of migratory birds crossing the Mediterranean.
The three-car convoy suddenly stops when one of the officers hears the sound of a bird - a blackcap.
But these birds don't sing at night. A short distance from the road the officers find what they expect to find: an MP3 player powered by a car battery, with a speaker balanced in the branches.
This fake birdsong signals to other birds that it is safe to rest here: it lures them into the bushes.
This means that the poachers are operating nearby. The police unit will not be welcome. Sergeant Andy Adamou warns: "I've had officers assaulted, shotguns pointed at us, vehicles rammed."
As dawn breaks all of a sudden the convoy picks up speed. It is during this brief period of first light that the poachers put up "mist" nets. They then throw stones at the roosting birds to get them to fly into the trap.
Sgt Adamou points through the open window: "Can you see it? The pole?"
Just visible above the acacia bushes is the top of the mist net. The officers jump from the vehicles.
Just a few metres from the track, they find almost 70 birds struggling in the fine mesh. There is no sign of the poachers although there is an MP3 player nearby.
It is silent, having done its job of luring birds to these bushes. The team works to free them, gently untangling and cutting the fibres from around their throats, wings and legs.
Officer Andreas Eleftheriou has a trembling songbird cupped in his hands. "It's like seeing a person in captivity," he said. The bird is in captivity too. He lifts his hands and opens them and the bird flutters up in to the sky.
"Back in the nature where it belongs," Mr Eleftheriou commented.
Sgt Adamou is using scissors to carefully cut netting away from around the belly of a blackcap. "It's an experience, when you hold one of these birds, you can literally feel the heartbeat in your hand."
A net can hold 400 birds - and this is just one site. Every night during the spring and autumn seasons, well over a hundred traps are set all over the territory.
Officer Eleftheriou says he finds it difficult to deal with the extent of the poaching. "I cannot be in a million places at once. You are in one place you know in one place else still some place else and you can't do anything about it," he said.
Each autumn, hundreds of millions of songbirds fly south from Britain and Europe to winter in Africa. They concentrate along "migration highways" - but around the Mediterranean, an estimated 25 million are killed by hunters.
Nearly half of the migratory bird species from Europe, Africa and the Middle East are thought to stop to rest on Cape Pyla.
The most recent figures from the conservation group BirdLife Cyprus estimate that almost 900,000 were killed on this British land over the course of one year.
Most of the birds are eaten. The local dish "ambelopoulia" is a delicacy. The songbirds are pickled or roasted or fried and eaten illegally in secret.
The Cypriot owner of an olive grove in the British base area near Ayios Nikolaos tells us that the meal is "delicious". He says that people eat it in private in their homes rather than in restaurants.
"Now it's difficult to find so it makes it better when you get it!"
He added: "When people who are against it try it, then they change their minds."
A meal of twelve birds can cost up to £60. A poacher can demand £1 a bird: it is a lucrative tax-free income.
If caught, a first-time trapper could be imprisoned for up to three years, or fined up to 17,000 euros. In reality, the average fine is 400 euros and only a handful of people have gone to prison.
James Guy is Divisional Commander of the SBA Police. He said: "The greatest challenges are cultural and political, because for some section of society here it's an accepted practice.
"The argument is that this goes back to their roots when a few birds were taken for the family table - when people were poor and when it was used to subsidise families in a purely eating sense. Now it has become commercial, there's no doubt about it."
It is a multi-million pound black-market trade and investigating it can be risky.
When three anti-poaching activists from the Committee Against Bird Slaughter (CABS) approach the house of a known poacher, there are two men on the front porch and one of them yells and expletive at them and tells them: "I'm going to go and get my shotgun. Right now!"
Even as he continues to shout, the plucky group continues and ensure that the area is free from traps before leaving.
This is the second year running that Andrew Rose has come from England to volunteer. When undertaking surveillance operations at night furious trappers regularly chase after him through the undergrowth.
One of his colleagues was beaten with an iron bar. He says his time in the army infantry was "perfect training".
He has a lot of respect for the police officers patrolling out on the ground but says: "I don't think that they are resourced properly. We talk about trapping, but it's organised crime. It's a dangerous job they do and I don't think they get the support they deserve."
BirdLife Cyprus welcomes the beefing up of the police patrol teams. Clairie Papazoglou is Chief Executive of the organisation that has been monitoring illegal trapping for 14 years.
She said that support for tackling the poachers was now finally coming from the "highest level." She says: "We've seen that the bases want to make a difference and want to make this stop. They have been putting a lot of effort in."
But she points to evidence showing that the problem is getting worse and worse. "Having more people on the ground is an important element," she says, "but it's not enough. If you just take a mist net away then they probably have ten at home."
There are no fences ringing the territory and farmers cultivate some of the land so it can be difficult to spot where the trappers harvest the birds.
Ms Papazoglou says removing the bushes that the poachers use to hide their mist nets is the best way forward. Acacia is an invasive species that spreads like a weed.
It is the right height and density to make an inviting roosting spot. Getting rid of the bushes would make it very difficult to set effective traps.
Divisional Commander James Guy says that they are trying. He estimates that they have spent half a million euros in removing 50 acres of the 200 that exist.
However, they have been hampered by local protests. In July, contractors arrived to remove some of the acacia and they found the road blocked by several excavators and around eighty 4x4s. Some two hundred locals and six MPs successfully disrupted the operation - so far the SBA authorities haven't tried again.
Andrea Rutigliano, from CABS, says: "We were always disappointed by the performance of the SBA authorities and by the lack of political will. Basically we've seen an attitude of tolerance and them trying to turn their eyes away from the problem."
Plans for Westbridge Park, in Stone, include a six-lane swimming pool and play area.
The proposals, which would still require planning permission, also feature a new sports hall and artificial football pitch at nearby Alleyne's Academy.
It is expected to be partly funded through a new M&S food store.
Stafford Borough Council said the store would also require planning permission, but it had been earmarked on land already developed within the park.
Council Leader Mike Heenan said: "These plans deliver the best leisure facilities for Stone whilst retaining valuable green space on Westbridge Park."
Previous proposals for the site, which included a larger supermarket in 2012, were met with strong opposition, including a 1,200-name petition.
Local councillor Jill Hood, part of the Keep Westbridge Park Green campaign, said the group was "over the moon" that the town would keep its park.
While he has compiled his best season to date, culminating in this week being crowned Race to Dubai winner for the second time in three years, he has been battling the stress of court proceedings against his former management company.
After the failure of a recent mediation process, the legal case with the Dublin-based Horizon Sports Management agency is scheduled to go to court in February next year.
McIlroy pulled out of two recent events in China to concentrate on preparing for the legal proceedings.
But he has spent the last 10 days in Dubai to ready himself for the season-ending World Tour Championship, an event he won two years ago to clinch the money list title.
This time he has wrapped up the Race crown ahead of schedule while the Horizon case has been bubbling under the surface. He claimed the Open and US PGA titles as well as the WGC Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone in August.
McIlroy's other victory, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, came in the immediate aftermath of his May split from fiancee Caroline Wozniacki.
This was the first win that showed his ability to put aside off-course troubles and it kick-started his stellar summer.
"I've been able to put a few things out of my mind this year and just focus on golf. It's really been the first year I've been able to do it," McIlroy told BBC Sport. "I guess getting used to it has been a big part of being able to do it.
"It's nice to get back to the golf tournaments and golf courses and to solely think about that. And just get back to an environment that I'm 100% comfortable in.
"It's almost like a holiday coming back to playing tournaments."
McIlroy admits that the time in lawyers' offices can take a toll. "It is stressful in some ways, it takes up quite a lot of time," he said.
"I think anyone who has been in this position will tell you it's not the nicest thing to go through."
He is confident the case will not derail his bid to complete a career grand slam at the Masters next April.
"It'll be over in a few months and I'll have a clear mind and a clear head going to Augusta which is the important thing," he said.
"As long as everyone appreciates that and knows that then everything will be OK."
The world number one confirmed that the case will not affect his playing schedule next year. "We've done it in a way which has been nice in that it won't impact on any tournaments that I have planned to play next year," McIlroy explained
"All the tournaments that I usually play at the start of the year, I'm going to play again.
"It might take out a couple of weeks where I would normally practise but I'm not missing any tournaments which is important to me."
Aside from contesting the court case, which centres around his terms when he was a Horizon client, McIlroy is making the most of his growing influence on the game.
His charitable foundation will be backing next year's Irish Open at Royal County Down. The event is already reaping rewards from the relationship as McIlroy has persuaded American star Rickie Fowler to join the field.
And the involvement of leading players in backing and promoting tournaments is a trend that is gathering momentum.

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

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

Rebecca Downie, Claudia Fragapane, Ruby Harrold, Hannah Whelan and Kelly Simm held off Australia to win, with Wales putting in a superb display for bronze.
Earlier, Louis Smith, Sam Oldham, Kristian Thomas, Max Whitlock and Nile Wilson won the men's title.

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

Rooney, 31, announced last week that he is staying at Old Trafford, after being heavily linked with a move to China.
The England captain has also been linked with a return to former club Everton, but Mourinho said talk of such a move "makes no sense".
Striker Ibrahimovic's one-season deal includes an option for a second year.
The Swede, 35, has scored 26 goals in 38 appearances for United since joining on a free transfer from Paris St-Germain in July.
He scored twice in Sunday's 3-2 EFL Cup final victory over Southampton.
After the final, Ibrahimovic said he will "see what happens" about extending his contract.
Mourinho said: "I see him staying. The next transfer window will bring us to a different level because I will bring in a few players. Zlatan will be fundamental. I think he will stay."
On Rooney, he added: "What I have is a very strong message, 'I don't go anywhere. I want to fight with this team and help until the end of season'. 100% he will be with us for the rest of season.
"Next season, 100% I would like him to be with us, but always the player is very important."
United, who are sixth in the Premier League, host Bournemouth on Saturday (12:30 GMT).
Mourinho also backed Luke Shaw to make himself indispensable as United's left-back.
Shaw, 21, has not played since the 4-0 FA Cup win over Wigan at the end of January, but Mourinho hinted the England international would start against Bournemouth.
"In practical terms we have lots of left-backs," he said.
"It doesn't look like it, but the reality is that Daley Blind, Shaw, Marcos Rojo, Matteo Darmian are all playing left-back and can play there. They are different players.
"I think the one that should be in the couple of years the best of all - because potentially he should have all the conditions to be the best of all - is Luke Shaw.
"By age, by physicality, by intensity, aggressive going forward, he should be the best. But to be the best you need to work hard. It's what he's trying to do."
BBC Sport's Simon Stone
Mourinho took the initiative at today's news conference. Sensing what was going to be asked as he sat down in front of the media, he said: "Rooney and Shaw."
He then proceeded to talk for four minutes and 20 seconds about club captain Rooney, and out-of-favour left-back Shaw, who are both in United's squad to face Bournemouth on Saturday.
Mourinho said Shaw, who last played against Wigan in the FA Cup in January, has been "working hard" on his fitness.
On Rooney, Mourinho said the fact he was ready to come on at Wembley when Ibrahimovic scored his winner was proof the United captain remains a valued member of his squad.
The Portuguese said Rooney would "100%" be at United for the rest of the season, which is fairly obvious now the Chinese transfer window has closed.
However, after comments from Everton this week suggesting the England forward's former club may offer him a summer return to Goodison Park, Mourinho said he wants the 31-year-old to stay, adding it could not be guaranteed because he will not keep unhappy players.
The International Development Committee says evidence is "overwhelming" the Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels has violated humanitarian law.
The committee called for the UK to support an international inquiry into the alleged abuses.
The government said it has a "rigorous" arms export control system.
In a letter to International Development Secretary Justine Greening, the committee said the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia had risen "significantly" during the conflict.
It said close to £3bn worth of export licences for arms had been granted in the last six months.
They include £1bn worth of licences for bombs, rockets and missiles issued in the three months to the end of September last year compared to £9m of licences awarded over the same period the previous year.
"We are shocked that the UK government can continue to claim that there have been no breaches of humanitarian law by the coalition and not only continue sales of arms to Saudi Arabia but significantly increase them since the start of the coalition intervention into Yemen," said the cross-party committee.
"We are convinced that there is more than a clear risk that weapons sold to Saudi Arabia might be used in the commission of serious violations of international humanitarian law.
"The evidence that we have heard is overwhelming that the Saudi-led coalition has committed violations of international law, using equipment supplied by the UK."
The committee's intervention comes after a leaked UN report found the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iranian-backed Houthis had targeted civilians in air strikes in a "widespread and systematic" way.
The UN panel said civilians were also being deliberately starved as a war tactic and called for an inquiry into human rights abuses.
The war in Yemen escalated in March, when a coalition led by Saudi Arabia entered the conflict on the side of the internationally recognised government to try to oust Houthi rebels from the capital Sanaa and other areas. All sides have been accused of targeting civilians.
The UK supports the coalition and, along with the US and other countries, has been supplying some of the weapons and jets used in the bombing campaign.
But attacks directed against civilians or civilian targets constitute violations of international humanitarian law.
The government claims it has one of the most "transparent arms export control systems in the world" with each licence application assessed on a "case-by-case" basis.
It regularly stresses to the Saudis and the Houthis the need to comply with humanitarian law, according to a spokesman.
International Development Minister Desmond Swayne stopped short of backing an inquiry, telling the Commons: "We've supported the UN Human Rights Council resolution, which requires the government of Yemen to investigate with the support of the UN."
He added that only a peace process to restore the Yemeni government "will end the suffering" in the region.
Saudi Arabia is Britain's biggest market for defence exports, worth $1.7bn (£1.1bn) last year, according to IHS's Global Defence Trade Report. | Peru's outgoing president, Ollanta Humala, has ruled out a pardon for jailed ex-leader Alberto Fujimori.

The Lithuanian schoolgirl was left bruised in the brawl in Central Park in Peterborough on Friday evening.
The Peterborough Telegraph reported her mother put the film on her own Facebook page in a bid to find out who was responsible. It has been viewed more than 680,000 times.
Police said the fight was reported to them and they were investigating.
The attack victim told the BBC the group wanted to fight her because they thought she was "being cheeky" to some of them at school.

She was set upon by a "group of about 20 or 25 girls" when she went to the park.
She said: "They said, 'We didn't come here for no reason, we came to fight'."
"I was scared... but I think I'm getting better," she added.
The video of the brawl showed a girl being pushed to the ground and repeatedly kicked.
It was sent to her mother, Ilona Iloniuk, who posted it on social media.
The post said: "Today my daughter in Central Park got beaten up by a lot of girls. Maybe somebody knows who they are?
"I think that parents should look after their kids - she was only one and they were 20 on her."

The latest 48-hour walkout by the RMT union finishes at midnight.
Southern condemned the latest stoppage as "spiteful and vindictive", but RMT general secretary Mick Cash said it put "profits before public safety".
The union is planning further action over the coming weeks, with strikes also set for the run-up to Christmas and over the new year.
Southern Rail strikes: Eight things you wanted to know
The current strike coincides with the Lewes Bonfire Night celebrations with no trains stopping in the town or at neighbouring stations.
Tens of thousands of people attend the event, many of whom travel by train.
A spokesman for Southern said industrial action over the introduction of driver-only operated (DOO) trains was "pointless".
He said the majority of conductors had signed up to the new on-board role, and the strikes were "purely about the RMT hanging on to outdated working practices and union power".
The RMT has insisted union support is still "absolutely rock solid".
Mr Cash said: "Passengers know that Southern rail under GTR (Govia Thameslink Railway) is an unmitigated disaster that puts profits before public safety. That is the issue at the core of this dispute.
"The solution to this dispute can be achieved easily through a cast-iron guarantee of a second, safety-critical member of staff on all current services with a guard."
They signal that there are still buyers who think they can get more value than existing owners out of these maturing assets, and still have enough left over to pay for decommissioning.
That releases capital for the existing owner to invest upstream.
Following its Gulf of Mexico explosion and spill, BP hastened the pace of its shift from refining and mid-stream operations such as pipelines operations - leading to the £200m deal struck between BP and Ineos.
The oil major wants to deploy its capital resources where it thinks it can get most return by specialising in what it does best - big scale, technically-demanding new fields, such as those west of Shetland.
Ineos thinks it can extract more economic value out of older assets being put on the market by the majors.
Given a finite and long-term, declining amount of demand, that either means cutting costs or boosting prices. The possibility of the latter is already concerning Unite the Union, which was humiliated when it tried to confront Ineos chairman Jim Ratcliffe in a 2013 strike.
The threat of higher prices will be watched closely by the Oil and Gas Authority, the new regulator. It has been given a specific remit to ensure that competitive pressures between offshore operators are suppressed in favour of "maximising economic recovery" of reserves.
Ineos bought Grangemouth refinery and petro-chemical plant, and invested a lot in new facilities to import ethane from the USA for processing at the Forth Valley site.
It recently bought gas fields in the southern North Sea, and now it sees the potential for synergy in operating the Forties pipeline and its main customer at its destination.
It is also particularly assertive in making the case for allowing fracking of shale rock in Britain. It is pushing hard to get the Scottish government to end its moratorium and allow "unconventional gas" developments.
The company has shown it is ready to act ruthlessly to get its way. It wanted to cut its workforce costs by taking on Unite the union. It picked its moment, and in 2013, it succeeded - generously aided by union ineptitude.
It would have let the petro-chemical plant become a collateral victim in that battle, whatever the wider economic implications. And having made the threat of permanent closure, it used leverage to extract financial backing from government for its "survival plan".
The refinery, petro-chemical plant and pipeline network are vital assets for the Scottish and British economies.
Unite has questioned whether there is a case for public ownership of such strategic assets, with a reminder that BP was half owned by the government when it was entrusted with the Forties field and its pipeline development. It wants an inquiry into the way the deal was done.
Challenging big corporations in the oil and gas sector is not easy for governments.
So it's little surprise that the Scottish government has been particularly cautious in its response to the Forties Pipeline deal, waiting to hear if Ineos's objectives fit with government and regulatory ones.
The bodies of four men were found near the town of Thandwe. Earlier a 94-year-old woman was confirmed killed.
Reports say terrified Muslims are hiding in fear of their lives. The renewed violence comes as President Thein Sein visits Rakhine.
Tensions between Buddhists and Muslims have risen in recent years in Burma, which is also known as Myanmar.
Violence which broke out in Rakhine in June 2012 left nearly 200 people dead and thousands displaced.
The unrest has since spread to other parts of the country.
The latest clashes appear to have started on Saturday after a Buddhist taxi driver near Thandwe complained he had been verbally abused by a Muslim.
This triggered attacks on property, and then physical assaults. Dozens of homes have been burned down. Witnesses said police did little to control the violence.
The 94-year-old woman was stabbed to death in Thapyuchai, about 20km (12 miles) north of Thandwe, police confirmed on Wednesday.
More than 700 Buddhist rioters, some armed with swords, attacked the village, setting buildings alight, the Associated Press reported. Families fled for their lives.
"Many of them, including women and children, are still hiding, and they are cornered and unable to come out," Muslim resident Myo Min told the news agency.
"They need food and water, and Muslim elders are discussing with authorities to evacuate them or send food."
AFP news agency reported that four Buddhists were injured in riots in a nearby village, while a fifth was missing. AP's report say two Buddhists are unaccounted for.
Thein Sein, who is making his first visit to Rakhine since last year's violence, arrived in Thandwe on Burma's coast on Wednesday. He is due to meet religious leaders from both communities.
What sparked the violence in June 2012?
The rape and murder of a young Buddhist woman in Rakhine in May, which set off a chain of deadly religious clashes.
Why was a state of emergency declared?
It allows the introduction of martial law, which means the military can take over administrative control of the region.
Who are the Rohingyas?
The United Nations describes them as a persecuted religious and linguistic minority from western Burma. The Burmese government, on the other hand, says they are relatively recent migrants from the Indian sub-continent. Neighbouring Bangladesh already hosts several hundred thousand refugees from Burma and says it cannot take any more.
Q&A: Rakhine unrest
Burma profile
He is credited with overseeing major reforms which have opened up Burma since the military handed power to a nominally civilian government two years ago.
But critics say the government has not done enough to stop the communal violence, which has seen hundreds of thousands of minority Muslims flee their homes.
"The president is the most responsible person in the country. Up until now, when Muslim people have been killed, their property destroyed, he's been silent," one man in Thandwe told AP.
Muslim and Buddhist communities remain largely segregated in the wake of last year's violence in Rakhine, with many Rohingya Muslims living in tents or temporary camps.
Rohingyas, whom the United Nations describes as a persecuted religious and linguistic minority from western Burma, are not recognised as Burmese citizens.
Those who were killed in Tuesday's violence are ethnic Kaman Muslims, who are an officially recognised minority.
The Welsh Government has launched a campaign warning of action to come against drivers who break the limits.
But its Traffic Wales arm said it had never intended to use the system to prosecute drivers during an "initial scoping period".
It said the fixed cameras on the route were used to monitor traffic flow.
The system, which aims to keep traffic moving between junctions 24 at the Coldra and 28 at Tredegar Park, was introduced in 2011.
It is made up of electronic signs which display speed limits, together with traditional road signs indicating that enforcement cameras are in place.
A spokeswoman for Traffic Wales, which is part of Welsh Government, said: "The variable speed limits currently in place along this stretch of the M4 are not optional and are legally binding, just like imposed speed limits on any other stretch of road in Wales."
She said: "To date, the aim of the fixed speed cameras along this stretch has been to monitor traffic flows so we could gain a better understanding of traffic movements along this busy stretch of M4 and establish how many motorists were adhering to the then newly-introduced variable speed limits.
"It was never our intention to use these cameras to prosecute drivers during this initial scoping period - simply to gain a better understanding of how effective the Variable Speed Limits were at improving safety and traffic flows before and after installation."
Chris Hume, manager of the GoSafe police and council speed camera enforcement partnership, confirmed there had been no prosecutions since the system was set up.
"Up until this point there has been no police action for motorists exceeding the speed limit," he said of the camera system on the stretch of M4 concerned.
On Monday, Economy and Infrastructure Secretary Ken Skates announced that speeding motorists would face enforcement action.
"Since its launch, the scheme has helped to improve traffic flow and reduce the number of collisions along this stretch, with the majority of drivers adhering to the limits in place," he said.
"However, a minority of drivers continue to flout the displayed limits and act as if the restrictions do not apply to them.
"It is these motorists we are primarily targeting with this awareness campaign and subsequent enforcement action."
Initially, there will be a grace period for drivers who exceed the limit, amid publicity for the number of speeding motorists identified on that stretch of motorway.
Then, during the second phase of the clampdown, motorists will receive a Notice of Intended Prosecution.
Mr Hume said the move would help to reduce casualties and save lives.
"Managing the speed of traffic through this busy section of the M4 motorway is vital," he said.
Commuters were confronted with departure times for the Hogwarts Express, the fictional train from the children's book series, Harry Potter.
However, no ordinary mortal could get on board the magical mystery ride at Heuston station.
It was a private service, chartered by students from Dublin's Trinity College.
About 870 students, many dressed as witches, wizards and other characters from the best-selling novels, boarded the sold-out service.
Most had no idea about their final destination.
The event was organised by social and drama clubs within the college, Trinity Ents and Players, in conjunction with Irish Rail (Iarnród Éireann).
The Hogwarts Express passengers were told only that the trains would transport them "to a secret location for a night of fun and dancing".
"House points will be awarded for exceptional behaviour, costumes as well as spell and potion making," the organisers said.
Irish Rail's corporate communications manager, Barry Kenny, said it was the third time his company had teamed up with Trinity students for specially themed journeys and each had been very successful.
"We were happy to help them create a little bit of Hogwarts at Heuston," Mr Kenny told BBC News NI.
He added that the event brought a "great atmosphere" to the station, and even commuters who were not involved in the mystery train rides got a "buzz" out of watching all that was going on.
One commuter, who works for a bank in Dublin city centre, was making her usual way home through the station when she spotted the unusual signs.
She tweeted a photo of the departures board, saying: "My Irish Rail train home is leaving between two #Hogwarts expresses. Hope I don't get hit by some random spell."
She later told the BBC that she realised what was happening when she saw lots of young people in "high spirits" dressed as Potter characters.
"It sounded fun, I hope they enjoyed themselves," she said.
But not everyone got the references.
One Trinity drama student tweeted: "There are so many confused commuters in Heuston station right now."
Harry Potter famously had to wait at Platform 9¾ for the train that took him to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.
Despite a cardboard sign, Trinity students would not have been surprised to find out that no such platform really exists at Heuston.
However, in a confusing co-incidence, the station's real Platform 9 is missing altogether.
Mr Kenny explained that Heuston's permanent platforms are numbered 1 to 8, but several years ago the station's bosses created another temporary platform while a major upgrade was taking place.
This temporary arrangement allowed trains to be diverted away from the works and meant Irish Rail did not have to cancel services.
However, because the extra platform was quite some distance from the others, it was called Platform 10, in order to distinguish its position from the rest.
So there was no real secret platform for the Potter fans, but what about their secret destination?
The two express trains took the students for a bewitching night in Limerick city, with the last return train arriving back in Heuston at 05:00 local time on Thursday.
Irish Rail said despite the late hour, the Hogwarts pupils were well behaved and there were no detentions.
"I'm sure some of them continued the party, while others had a sleep," Mr Kenny said.
The actor and model Gal Gadot, who will star in the upcoming Wonder Woman movie, was photographed at the set earlier.

The on-loan Crystal Palace striker - who spent the first half of the season on loan at Oldham - headed home from close range midway through the second half to lift Shrewsbury out of the relegation zone.
Shrewsbury made much of the early running, with Joe Riley volleying Gary Deegan's corner over the bar and Alex Rodman also trying his luck with an effort for the hosts which was too high.
Shrewsbury thought they had made the breakthrough after 31 minutes when Ladapo turned in a cross from the right from Shaun Whalley, but the home side's joy was cut short when the effort was eventually disallowed by referee Mark Haywood.
Deegan's 25-yard drive was then held by visiting keeper Connor Ripley before Whalley drilled a shot from the edge of the penalty area narrowly over.
Oldham found first-half chances in short supply, although Ryan Flynn did see an early run end with an effort which was blocked.
The Latics had a fine chance just past the hour but Billy McKay hooked narrowly wide from close range from Aaron Amadi-Holloway's knockdown.
Shrewsbury grabbed the winner in the 68th minute when Ladapo looped in a header from close range after impressive defender Aristote Nsiala headed on a Riley corner.

Laugher, 21, was dubbed a possible Olympic champion after winning the overall 3m springboard World Series crown in 2015.
However, he has struggled this campaign following a foot injury he sustained during training in January.
"The Europeans is a massive competition for us," Laugher told BBC Sport.
"At the Olympics there's always so much pressure and with all of the crowd in London we'll effectively be replicating that, which is great experience."
Laugher is part of a 14-strong British diving team for the Europeans, which run from 9-15 May and also features Olympic bronze medallist Tom Daley.
The host venue - London Aquatics Centre - holds mixed memories for Laugher.
At London 2012 the diver failed to progress from the 3m individual preliminary round following a horror dive, but he and synchronised partner Chris Mears claimed an impressive World Series silver at the venue 12 months ago.
"It's a brilliant pool and to come second last year was amazing given Chris suffered a slipped disc the week before," said Laugher.
The diver now has his own injury problems, having lost a significant amount of skin from the top of his right foot after scraping it on a board just days before the National Cup in January.
"I'm in a bit of a weird place because my off-season was completely ruined by the injury," he said.
"I've been battling against all the odds and it's been difficult, but that's not to say it won't all come together for the Olympics, so I'm still feeling very confident."
While many eyes will be on the exciting new men's 10m synchronised pairing of Daley and Dan Goodfellow, the women's line-up of Tonia Couch and 16-year-old Lois Toulson also offers genuine medal potential.
After an uneasy start together at the National Cup in January, London Olympic pair Couch and Sarah Barrow were restored as a duo and went on to secure a 10m synchro Olympic berth at the Rio test event in February.
Toulson and Couch have since been restored as GB's preferred pair and they have gone on to claim three medals in four World Series events.
"We struggled at the beginning as Tonia's based down in Plymouth and I'm in Leeds, but she's been great travelling so often," said Toulson, who will sit her first GCSE exams just days after the Europeans.
"School have been really supportive and I'll be studying during the Europeans, but I'm going there hoping to win a medal and I don't think a gold would be out of reach if we dive well."
The first week of the European Aquatics Championships also features synchronised swimming.
Britain will be represented in the duet events by London Olympians Olivia Federici and Katie Clark, who are part of a 12-strong British team that will compete in seven of the nine disciplines.
Wiltshire Police said the assault happened at 04:00 BST on Saturday in the car park on Bath Road in the town.
Two men, aged 20 and 19, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. The younger man was also held on suspicion of affray.
Police said they have no information about the victim's age or where he is from. He is being treated in hospital.
Det Con Justine Parsons, from Melksham CID, said: "There were a lot of people around at the time of this assault, and I would appeal for anyone who witnessed the incident, or the events leading up to it, to come forward and speak to us."
Russian aircraft carried out 40 missions over the city in the past 24 hours, the defence ministry said.
A monitoring group said the fighting was the most intense seen so far in the Syrian army's campaign to recapture the city from so-called Islamic State (IS).
IS seized the Unesco World Heritage site and adjoining modern town in May.
It destroyed archaeological sites, drawing global outrage.
Two 2,000-year-old temples, an arch and funerary towers were left in ruins.
In a statement, Russia's defence ministry said the strikes hit 158 IS targets killing more than 100 militants.
Images released by the Syrian military showed tanks and helicopters firing at positions in Palmyra. The date of the footage could not be independently verified.
Pictures also showed repeated explosions and smoke rising from many buildings.
IS warned residents to leave the city earlier this week as the conflict intensified, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The monitoring group said government forces had taken three neighbourhoods that are part of the modern town, AP news agency reported.
Syrian state media said earlier the army had taken full control of the al-Amiriya district on Palmyra's northern edge.
On Friday, Syria's official Sana news agency reported that troops, backed by Russian air strikes, had taken a reconstructed 13th Century castle perched on a hill to the west of the Roman-era ruins.
The castle, known as Qalaat Shirkuh or Qalaat Ibn Maan, sits on a 150m-high (500ft) hilltop overlooking the ruins and is of strategic importance, pro-government media reported.
Palmyra: Blowing ruins to rubble
Why IS destroys ancient sites
Government forces briefly entered the town on Thursday but were pushed back.
The prospect of its liberation has been welcomed by Unesco, the UN's cultural agency, which has described the destruction of Palmyra as a war crime.
The jihadist group, which has also demolished several pre-Islamic sites in neighbouring Iraq, believes that such structures are idolatrous.
But the head of Syria's antiquities authority Mamoun Abdelkarim promised to repair as much of the damage as possible as a "message against terrorism".
In addition to its ruins, Palmyra is situated in a strategically important area on the road between the capital, Damascus, and the contested eastern city of Deir al-Zour.
Recapturing Palmyra would be a significant victory for the government and Russia, which withdrew most of its forces earlier this month after a six-month air campaign against opponents of President Bashar al-Assad.
Russia's intervention is widely seen as having turned the tide of the five-year civil war in Mr Assad's favour.

The incident happened on the B4314 Princess Gate, Narberth, at about 20:15 GMT on Thursday.
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the women were not trapped but have been taken to hospital. The extent of their injuries is unknown.
The car was winched out from underneath the tree, the fire service added.
High winds caused disruption on several roads across Wales on Thursday evening.
The A485 was partially closed by a fallen tree at Llanilar in Ceredigion, as was the A470 in Brecon.
Trees also came down on the A4075 at Yerbeston in Pembrokeshire and the A5104 at Penyffordd in Flintshire.
The A55 Britannia Bridge across the Menai Straits was closed to high-sided vehicles.
Jonathan Magee, 29, was killed when he walked in front of a train at Knockmore Bridge near Lisburn on Saturday, 29 January 2011.
Jonathan's sister, Julie Magee, said her brother and her family had been let down.
Police "apologised unreservedly" to the family for "failings" in the case.
As a result of the Police Ombudsman's investigation, two inspectors, three sergeants and three constables were disciplined.
Mr Magee had a history of mental illness and, in the week prior to his death, police had searched for him after his family had said they were concerned for his safety.
On the morning before his death, Mr Magee's sister phoned the police to say she was concerned for his safety as he was missing, suffered from depression and had tablets in his possession.
The report detailed a series of missed opportunities and miscommunication between officers in the week prior to and up to his death.
Police Ombudsman Dr Michael Maguire said the police response to Mr Magee's disappearance was inadequate and the police response had largely ignored the procedures in place for such issues.
"Although they were told Jonathan was at 'high risk and suicidal,' it took police almost seven hours to formally make this assessment themselves and then having done so, they largely ignored it," Dr Maguire said.
"Minimal inquiries were conducted into Jonathan's whereabouts in the last few hours of his life. A number of opportunities to find him and return him to the hospital were missed."
Dr Maguire also criticised the length of time it took the police to make the assessment that he was high risk as an unacceptable, significant failure.
Jonathan's sister, Julie Magee, said the police "didn't do their jobs".
"They had opportunities to go and get him and they didn't do it," she said.
"They even made a phone call to him and it devastates me because they were the last ones that got to speak to him - I never got that opportunity."
Responding to the report, PSNI Supt Mark McEwan said: "On behalf of the Police Service of Northern Ireland I apologise unreservedly to the family of Jonathan Magee for the police failings in this case and how it was investigated.
"This report is significant and challenging for the PSNI and one which we take very seriously.
"In order to reassure the public I want to make it clear that we have already implemented a number of the recommendations made by the ombudsman."
The schoolgirl disappeared after a night out in the Republic of Ireland in 1994 and her body has never been found.
Convicted child killer Robert Howard, who died in prison last year, was the main suspect in her disappearance.
Attempts are to be made to resolve disclosure issues about documents held by the police.
Earlier, lawyers for the Arkinson family asked if there was an "institutional incapability" within the police service (PSNI) to find documents.
A barrister representing the PSNI described the criticism as "tiresome".
The coroner told the court that in anything of this age, nature and complexity there would always be matters which arise which caused pause for thought.
"Thats where we are....it is with a fair wind we will reconvene on the 18th April", he said.
Northampton Borough Council sold the Sekhemka statue to an overseas buyer.

The current owner's identity and location have not been released.
The council said the temporary bar had "no impact" on the sale of the statue, which had been in its possession since 1880 and was put to auction in July to fund an extension of the town's museum and art gallery.
A spokeswoman said it was up to the "current owner, Arts Council England and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to resolve".
Protesters gathered outside Christie's before the sale, the council has since been banned from the Museums Association and has had a Heritage Lottery Fund bid rejected as a consequence.
Mr Vaizey decided to bar the export following a recommendation by the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest (RCEWA), which is administered by Arts Council England.
The RCEWA said the statue was of "outstanding aesthetic importance" and was significant in the study of "the development of private statuary and funerary religion in Egypt and the history of human self-representation".
A decision on the export licence application has been deferred until 29 July.
Arts Council England said there was a chance the statue could be sold to a buyer within the UK, if "a serious intention to raise funds to purchase the statue is made at the recommended price of £15,732,600 plus VAT".
Egyptian Ambassador Ahsraf Elkholy had condemned the sale as an "an abuse to the Egyptian archaeology and the cultural property".
He said the statue of Sekhemka, who was a royal chief, judge and administrator, should have been handed back to Egypt if the council no longer wanted it.
Its owners, Merlin Entertainments, said visitor numbers had picked up over summer, but that overall numbers "still remain some way below the 2014 level".
On Tuesday, the company was fined £5m for the incident, for which it has apologised.
Sixteen people were injured in the June 2015 crash, including two teenage girls who needed leg amputations.
"We have learned every lesson from what happened last year and made a number of technical and procedural improvements to make sure that an accident like this cannot happen again," the company said its trading statement.
Overall, Merlin Entertainments saw growth in revenue of 10.6% in the year so far.
"Trading across the existing estate has been mixed," said Nick Varney, chief executive of Merlin Entertainments.
"Our Resort Theme Parks Operating Group is now showing year-on-year revenue growth, reflecting the ongoing recovery in trading at Alton Towers."
However, he added that its Midways Attractions group, which includes its Madame Tussauds and Sea Life chains, continued to see challenges, with London in particular suppressing overall trade.
"Many of our city centre attractions have experienced volatile trading patterns as a result of wider security concerns that have affected both domestic and international visitation," Mr Varney said.
"This continues to have a significant impact on Midway London, the largest Division within the Operating Group, where visitor volumes have also yet to see any material benefit of sterling weakening to current levels."
Meanwhile in China, Madame Tussauds in Shanghai is having a "challenging" time since Disney opened its resort there.
Shares in Merlin Entertainments finished nearly 6% lower on London's FTSE 100.
The price paid has not been disclosed, but the airport's value has been put at about £2bn.
City Airport, which is near Canary Wharf in London's Docklands, is popular with bankers and City professionals because of its proximity and its small size.
Last year, a record 4.3 million passengers used the airport.
The deal involves Alberta Investment Management Corporation, and investment funds the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Wren House, part of the Kuwait Investment Authority.
They already own a string of airports, including Belfast International Airport, Birmingham Airport, Bristol Airport, Brussels Airport and Copenhagen Airport.
They described London City as "a highly attractive infrastructure investment in the UK".
"The airport represents a unique opportunity to invest in an integral part of the London airport system and offers a service proposition based around location, convenience, speed and customer service".
It promised to increase the number of routes flown from the airport and said it would have a "positive economic impact for all of London and the local community, in particular".
London City was last bought in 2006 by Global Infrastructure Partners, when it carried two million passengers a year.
Mr Trump promised to ensure that local communities were consulted before refugees settled.
Around 50,000 Somalis are in Minnesota.
The mayor of Minneapolis, Betsy Hodges reacted on Facebook, saying Somali immigrants made her city, in Minnesota state, a "better, stronger place".
She is from the Democratic Party, while Mr Trump is a Republican.
Mr Trump cited a recent knife attack by a Somali immigrant who stabbed 10 people at a Minnesota shopping centre before being shot dead by a police officer.
He said at the rally on Sunday that Minnesota had seen "problems with faulty refugee vetting, with large numbers of Somali refugees coming into your state without your knowledge, without your support or approval".
Mr Trump vowed to stop admitting immigrants from "terror-prone regions'" until new, more intense vetting mechanisms were put into place.
Minnesota has the nation's largest Somali community - about 50,000 according to the US census.
The Somali community in Minnesota has been a target for terrorism recruiters.
Next week nine ethnic Somalis from Minnesota will be sentenced on terror charges for plotting to join the Islamic State group.
More than 20 young men have left the state in recent years to join the Somali Islamist militant group al-Shabab, which controls many rural areas in the south of the country.
About a dozen others have left in recent years to join militants in Syria.
Keep Abergavenny Livestock Market (Kalm) wanted to keep the 150-year-old market near the centre of town.
But a High Court judge rejected claims Monmouthshire council acted unlawfully.
The council will open a new market near Raglan and has already agreed to sell the old site with planning permission for a supermarket and library.
A judicial review heard Kalm had many complaints about Monmouthshire council's decision to grant planning permission in June last year to Optimisation Developments Ltd.
The market is on a 1.9-hectare site and has the Abergavenny Conservation Area on three sides.
Kalm arguments included the claims that demolition would seriously affect the local economy and threaten to contaminate the River Usk.
But all complaints were rejected by Mrs Justice Nicola Davies, who said the council had take all conservation, environmental and socio-economic issues properly into account when reaching its decision.
"It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that this challenge is in reality an attack upon the planning merits of the decision of the council in granting planning permission... misplaced forensic criticism has been levelled at decisions made when no issue was taken at the time objections were made," she said.
Concluding that there were no grounds for planning consent to be challenged, she added: "No evidence has been adduced to identify any real risk to the River Usk as a result of the proposed remedial measures."
The livestock market dates from the early 1860s.
The court heard the council has committed itself to maintaining a livestock market within the county boundaries for at least 50 years.
Monmouthshire council deputy leader Bob Greenland said most people accepted that market had "grown to such an extent that it cannot be contained on the restricted town site".
He said: "Selling the site to Morrisons gives local people the chance to shop here rather than travel miles to other centres.
"It also helps the council defend against the threat of a superstore on the outskirts of the town and the proceeds from the sale will pay for the new market as well as give a much-needed boost to our plans to rebuild our secondary schools.
"This scheme also brings with it in excess of 200 jobs for local people which are much needed."
Facebook users who click on a gif of a cute kid are taken to a website which states: "If you've got time to watch a goat gif you've got 2 minutes to register to vote."
A clock counts down the remaining time left to vote, while goats frolic in the background.
At the time of writing, the goat gif had been shared more than 40,000 times on social media.
Ben Silvertown, one of the gifgoat.party creators, explained how the idea originated: "For many young people, Facebook is a place for friends, fun posts and informal content. For that reason, political posts never gain much traction.
"People love gifs, tricking their friends and posting for a good cause, so we thought that gifgoat.party would be the perfect vehicle to remind people to register."
And is it working? Mr Silverton thinks so.
"It's appeared on over 2.5 million people's newsfeeds and has driven over nine thousand people to the Gov.uk website to register," he said. "We've had some great reactions."
Including these.
And why goats? "What's cute, funny and rhymes with votes?"
Voters in the UK have until 23:59 BST on Tuesday June 7 to register to vote in the referendum.

The military chanteuse entertained workers on Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratlys in the South China Sea.
It is the first stop in a tour of the disputed territory, where China has been reclaiming land and building military facilities on reefs.
Photos of the performance reveal multi-story buildings and a large warship.
Several Asian countries, including Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam, also claim sovereignty over the reefs and islands of the Spratlys.
China has been building artificial islands there, saying the structures are for civilian purposes, but neighbouring countries are concerned at their possible military use.
Q&A: South China Sea dispute
The performance by Song and a 50-strong troupe of navy entertainers included magic tricks and songs such as "Ode to the South Sea Defenders".
It took place in front of the People's Liberation Army's second biggest ship, using a large naval dock.
The BBC's Stephen McDonell says photos from the performance, which was first revealed on Tuesday by state media, show the extent of the infrastructure being built on Fiery Cross.
Images published by the South China Morning Post show large crowds of military personnel enjoying the show on Saturday against a backdrop of the new facilities.
China turned the reef into an artificial island through a massive dredging operation, and constructed buildings and an air strip.
Rival countries have wrangled over territory in the South China Sea for centuries, but tension has steadily increased in recent years.
Coran Bogue, 23, from Newport, was involved in the incident on the A4810 Llanwern link road near Magor Brewery at about 05:50 BST.
He died at the scene after the crash between a Vauxhall Corsa and a lorry.
Specialist officers are supporting his family and police issued an appeal for information.
Both men, aged 26, were found in separate places in the east of the city after an incident in the Seacroft area, on Tuesday.
The pair had been in a car at Kingsdale Court, off Boggart Hill Drive.
One was found with pellet injuries to his head at The Rein in Seacroft while the second flagged police down on Harehills Lane with hand injuries.
Det Ch Insp Steve Thomas said: "This appears to have been a targeted attack but clearly any incident where people are injured as a result of a firearm being discharged is a cause for concern.
"I would urgently like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or who has any information that could assist the investigation.
"I believe there will be people in the local community with an awareness of what has been behind this incident but I appreciate they may be reluctant to come forward given the circumstances."

United, seventh in the table, go to Anfield three points behind Liverpool.
Scholes says there is still "confusion" over Mourinho's best side, whereas Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has "stamped his way of playing football" on his team.
"If you were betting, you would be betting on Liverpool," he said.

Former Chelsea manager Mourinho replaced Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford in the summer and made four major signings.
Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly was brought in for about £30m, Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic arrived on a free transfer, Armenia midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan came in for an undisclosed fee and France midfielder Paul Pogba was re-signed for a world record £89m.
In United's seven Premier League games so far, 15 outfield players have started - and Scholes believes this has led to mixed results, including two defeats and a draw.
In contrast, Mourinho used 21 outfield players in the whole of his 2004-05 and 2005-06 title-winning campaigns with Chelsea. In 2014-15, when he won the league with the Blues for a third time, the figure was 19.
"He was not ruthless enough in the off-season," said Scholes, who made 718 appearances for United after making his debut in 1994.
"There is so much confusion about who should play.
"What I saw of Mourinho at Chelsea, he had 13 or 14 players who played every week. He never rested players even in the League Cup or whatever competition he was in.
"With United it is still a settling-in period - it is going to take a bit of time for them to knit together and see what they are about.
"Is there an identity to the team yet? I don't think there is."

Klopp has been in charge of Liverpool since October 2015, when he succeeded Brendan Rodgers.
Fourth in the table, they are on a run of five straight wins in all competitions and have scored 18 goals in seven Premier League games this season, including victories at Arsenal and Chelsea.
With Liverpool's high-pressing style, Scholes, who won 11 league titles with United, can see a pattern emerging he says is absent from his former club.
"You can see Jurgen Klopp has stamped his way of playing football on the team," said the 41-year-old.
"There is a definite way about them. You know how they are going to play: they are going to be quick; they are going to try to take the ball off you and try to score goals by flooding the box.
"I was worried about them defensively, but they have already played some of the big teams and they are a real threat.
"The form they are in, they look as good as any team in the league."
The impossible job? Probably. Use our shortlist and pick who you think would make the greatest combined post-war Liverpool-Manchester United XI.
The airport is putting its planning to the test with a simulated explosion at its fuel farm.
During the scenario being tested later, a helicopter will also be reported missing.
Chief executive Gordon Dewar said the airport is committed to the highest possible safety standards.
The live exercise, he added, is an opportunity to learn.
Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust will be run by two specially appointed administrators to "safeguard the future of health services" currently provided.
Dr Hugo Mascie-Taylor and Alan Bloom of Ernst and Young will take over the running of the trust on Tuesday.
It will become the first foundation trust to go into administration.
A report for Monitor, written by a panel including Dr Mascie-Taylor in February, said services at the trust were "unsustainable".
It recommended the closure of its maternity unit, intensive care unit and accident and emergency department.
It said services could instead be provided at neighbouring trusts including the University Hospital of North Staffordshire, the Royal Wolverhampton or Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust.
Monitor said the administrators were appointed after it was concluded the trust, which also runs Cannock Chase hospital, was "neither clinically nor financially sustainable in its current form".
The trust "was likely to become unable to pay its debts", it said.
Last year, the trust reported a drop in annual income of about £4m and received a £20m bailout from the government.
Monitor said the administrators would have 145 days to work with commissioners and other local healthcare organisations to produce a plan for patients that was "sustainable in the long term".
The plan would be subject to a public consultation, it said.
By Adam BrimelowHealth Correspondent, BBC News
Monitor says the decision to put Mid Staffs into special administration had nothing to do with the recent public inquiry - which highlighted appalling neglect, abuse and incompetence in the four years up to 2009.
But although standards of care have improved, the trust remains clinically and financially unsustainable.
It is now on a fast track to reorganisation, with a strong likelihood that some services will be relocated to bigger hospitals in Stoke-on-Trent, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
Monitor insists they will remain accessible within "reasonable journey times", and local people will be consulted.
Despite Stafford Hospital's notoriety, it commands deep loyalty among many in the town, and for them, the fight starts now.
David Bennett, from Monitor, said the current management at the trust would report to the administrators but patients would not see changes to services over the next 145 days.
He said: "It is important that people in Mid Staffordshire know that they can still access services as usual at Stafford and Cannock hospitals while the Trust Special Administration process is on-going."
"We have taken this decision to make sure that patients in the Mid Staffordshire area have the services they need in the future."
Administrator Hugo Mascie-Taylor said recommendations to downgrade some services were not "set in stone" and would be looked at again.
He said: "We will derive a lot of information from the report but we arrive here starting again, looking at the whole health economy, looking at what other hospitals could do, maybe what other services like community trusts could do.
"It's about taking all that into account and asking what could we do in Stafford and Cannock that's safe and sustainable."
The Support Stafford campaign group said it would be holding a march in the town centre on Saturday against the current proposals.
Cheryl Porter from the group said: "We haven't been listened to yet, and these plans are unacceptable.
"I do hope that the administrators listen to what the people need for safety reasons because to take all our acute services away is leaving us very vulnerable in a very dangerous position."
She said more than 15,000 people had signed a petition against the proposals.
The Conservative MP for Stafford, Jeremy Lefroy said he hoped the administrators would "put patients first".
He said: "There is a vital need to retain acute services in Stafford and Cannock because the capacity elsewhere is simply not there.
"They also need to consider the huge disadvantage to local people who would have to travel much longer distances for their treatment but also for hospital visitors who would have to do the same."
The trust's chief executive, Lyn Hill-Tout, said: "We would like to reassure local people and GPs that we are continuing to provide all our usual services at both hospitals and patients should turn up as usual for any appointments they have."
"We would like to thank our local community for their continued support, which means a great deal to staff."
The Mid Staffordshire trust was at the centre of a three-year public inquiry into "appalling standards" of care at Stafford Hospital, following concerns over high death rates.
The concluding Francis Report, published in February, highlighted the "unnecessary suffering of hundreds of people" between 2005 and 2009.
Paul Cain killed 44-year-old Cy Cooper in July after a row over relatives and living arrangements.
He then set Mr Cooper's Sheffield home alight but told police he had tried to save him to explain away forensic evidence found on his clothing.
Cain, of no fixed address, was sentenced to a minimum of 21 years.
Sheffield Crown Court heard he kicked, punched and stamped Mr Cooper to death at his home in Bluebell Close, Wincobank, in the early hours of 29 July.
A post mortem examination revealed Mr Cooper suffered more than 80 injuries.
Det Ch Insp Dave Stopford said: "Mr Cooper was a kind-hearted man who was well liked and respectable.
"He died because of the injuries inflicted by Cain, who then believed he could outwit the authorities and get away with murder."
Mr Cooper's sister said her brother "will always be missed".
But not, it seems, those living in the village of Lavertezzo, Switzerland.
Residents here are thoroughly fed up with a recent influx of tourists, who they accuse of turning their idyllic valley into "an open air toilet".
This latest stream of tourists were all apparently inspired by a minute-long video, which has been watched 2.6m times so far, dubbing the area "the Maldives of Milan".
In it, filmmaker Marco Capedri and his friends frolic in the crystal clear waters of the Verzasca river, in the shadow of an imposing double-arched stone bridge.
"A magnificent canyon crossed with emerald waters - one hour from Milan and 45 minutes from Varese," Mr Capredi's post proclaimed.
With that, Lavertezzo's residents - who are no strangers to tourists - found themselves overwhelmed by Italians crossing the border in search of a taste of paradise.
"I thought the valley had exploded," one resident told Ticino News [in Italian].
Another accused the tourists, who came from all over, of turning the valley into "an outdoor toilet" and "running semi-naked down the street". The reporter, meanwhile, noted the "socks, cigarettes and cans" left behind by the day-trippers.
The town's mayor, Roberto Bacciarini, was more circumspect in his response.
Speaking to Italian newspaper Repubblica [in Italian], he admitted the video had done "a good job" in attracting people to the area, but added: "[Mr Capredi] would do us a favour if he asked his compatriots to park their cars in an orderly manner, and respect the rules of the place."
The MUD opposition coalition won a majority of the seats.
But it will now face a long catalogue of economic problems.
Not only has Venezuela been hit hard by the continuing low price of oil, its main export, it also has the continent's highest inflation rate and is suffering from chronic shortages of some basic goods.
President Nicolas Maduro blames the poor state of the economy on an "economic war" waged against his government by the opposition, a foreign axis of shadowy players based in Miami, Madrid and Bogota, and private firms intent on toppling his administration.
The opposition meanwhile say the economy has been run into the ground by government mismanagement and the administration's imposition of price and currency controls.
Daniel Gallas looks at five key issues troubling the economy.
Venezuela's economy is closely linked to the price of oil - which accounts for more than 90% of the country's export revenues.
As prices tumbled in the past months - from $115 (£69) a barrel in June 2014 to below $50 last month - the country's GDP took a nosedive.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that the economy will contract 10% this year and a further 6% in 2016.
President Maduro has been pressing the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) - of which Venezuela is a member - to decrease production and push barrel prices up to at least $88.
However, most Opec countries are interested in maintaining prices relatively low, so as to disincentive shale-gas projects.
Caracas is bracing itself for oil prices to stay low.
Last week, the National Assembly approved the 2016 budget which predicts a price of $40 per barrel next year.
For the past two years, going to supermarkets in Venezuela has been a time-consuming affair.
A study by polling firm Datanalisis suggests that Venezuelans spend on average five hours per week buying groceries and visit up to four different stores to find products.
Outside each major store, there are long queues and it takes hours for customers to get inside.
Chronic shortages of a number of products mean many have to go home empty-handed.
The hardest items to get hold of are the 42 staples the prices of which the government controls. Among them are milk, rice, coffee, sugar, corn flour and cooking oil.
Moreover, the Venezuelan Pharmaceutical Federation estimates that there is a shortage of 70% of medication in most pharmacies across the country.
Food companies complain that with regulated prices, some items are just not profitable to produce.
The government accuses producers of deliberately stockpiling products in order to drive prices up.
Venezuelan-based broadcaster Telesur recently alleged that the shortages were a "concerted effort by the opposition to create psychological distress in the country ahead of elections".
With shortages and queues, prices for essential goods are skyrocketing in the black market, driving up the cost of living.
The IMF predicts annual inflation of 159% in Venezuela this year - the highest in any country in the world. In 2016 it could be upwards of 200%, according to the Fund.
Venezuela has not released any official inflation data this year, but President Maduro recently stated that figure for 2015 was likely to be 85%.
The government tries to tackle rising inflation with price controls; recently it fixed the price for a carton of 30 eggs at 420 bolivares.
But not all sellers stick to the fixed prices. Consumers reported paying almost three times as much on the black market, according to Huevo Today (Egg Today), a Twitter account on which Venezuelans share information on the prices of eggs.
Venezuela has three official exchange rates and an illegal black market rate.
The first two are used for importing goods which the government considers essential, such as food, medicine or household items. The third one is for Venezuelans who do not have the authorisation to buy dollars at the preferential rates.
But the black market rate is the one which many Venezuelans use as it is hard to get approval to exchange money at the official rates.
The disparity between the first rate and that of the black market is enormous. One dollar will buy you 6.3 bolivares at the lowest official rate, while on the black market it will fetch a whopping 800 bolivares, according to the widely used website DolarToday.com website.
The government introduced currency controls in 2003 to stem the flow of capital out of the country, but instead they have been a driving factor in pushing up inflation.
Importing goods can be prohibitively expensive and companies are forced to find local alternatives.
For 10 months, fast food chain McDonald's replaced its French fries with yuka fries - made with local cassava - because importing potatoes had become too dear.
French fries only returned to its menu last month when McDonald's finally managed to source potatoes locally.
One of the proudest achievements of Chavismo - as the politics of the late President Hugo Chavez and his successor in office Mr Maduro are known - is its record in reducing poverty and inequality.
Poverty levels were halved between 2003 to 2011 and Venezuela's Gini co-efficient, which measures inequality, improved greatly.
Social programmes sponsored by the government helped boost real income, but many fear that in a recession some of those gains are at risk of being reversed.
A recent study by three Venezuelans universities suggested that poverty had already increased massively. The study suggested 73% of the population now lived in poverty - up from 27% in 2013.
The government dismissed the study, saying that not only had poverty not risen but that extreme poverty had fallen in 2015.
Officials also said that unemployment had fallen to a historic low of 6.7%.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said a 30cm (1ft) tsunami was registered on the southern Nakanoshima island, part of Kagoshima prefecture.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
A tsunami warning issued for Kagoshima and Satsunan islands was later lifted. The quake happened at a depth of about 10km (six miles).
The US Geological Survey said it was some 159km south-west of the town of Makurazaki.
In 2011, a massive earthquake caused a tsunami that left more than 18,000 people dead or missing in north-eastern Japan.
Some 230,000 people have yet to return to their home towns since the disaster.
"Yes, on occasion we have been wrong," the managing director said earlier this month.
Forecasts are just that, after all - forecasts.
But, she continued, when it comes to the possibility of Britain leaving the European Union, "We can't see anything that is positive."
It is a similar story today with the Treasury's "short-term" economic impact report on what government economists believe would be the effect on the economy if voters plumped for Leave on 23 June.
Yes, forecasts can be wrong, but, using well-tested economic models, it is the Treasury's analysis that the downsides far outweigh any benefits.
And, to be accurate, this is actually a "gap analysis", rather than a forecast - that is, it is a judgement on the difference in economic activity between two comparable scenarios (Remain and Leave).
Such gap studies are widely viewed by economists to be at the more robust end of modelling tolerances.
The model used is known as a vector auto-regression, which has been used here to look at the effect of "uncertainty" on issues such as business investment and household borrowing on economic performance.
That is then allied to a "gravity model", which judges the trading relationship between nations and the effect those relationships have on growth.
The more uncertainty there is and the more barriers that are thrown up to free trade, the more negative the impact, the model suggests.
The government believes that the UK would not be able to gain better access to the EU if it were outside the union and more specifically, the single market.
It also says that uncertainty would fundamentally undermine investment.
In that assessment, it finds allies in the IMF, the Bank of England, the London School of Economics and the National Institute of Economic and Social Research.
It should be pointed out that all use similar models, or indeed the same model, to test the figures.
The Leave campaign is quite right to point out that models can be wrong, as they were ahead of the UK's expulsion from the exchange rate mechanism.
Then, the models suggested that growth would collapse, unemployment would rise and inflation would spike.
In the event, the UK economy did suffer a shock, but it wasn't of the calamitous variety.
It was of the "shot in the arm" variety - Britain is a relatively deregulated and open economy - and marked the start of nearly two decades of uninterrupted growth.
Campaigners for Leave believe the same could be true of leaving the EU, which would, according to supportive economists, mean cheaper food and manufactured goods, to give one example.
That's because Britain would be outside what Prof Patrick Minford, of Cardiff University, describes as the "customs union" - the tariffs the EU imposes on goods coming into the single market.
Better free trade agreements could also be signed, Prof Minford believes, with countries which are becoming more and more important for British exports, such as the US and China.
There are many genuine economic disagreements between Remain and Leave, often based on legitimate points of view held by serious economists.
Certainly, the weight of economic opinion as expressed by leading organisations, as I have said before, is in favour of Remain.
And Prof Sir Charles Bean, the former deputy governor of the Bank of England, describes today's Treasury's document as "reasonable".
Sometimes this debate can feel a little like "my plague of frogs is worse than your plague of frogs".
And we could all be forgiven for becoming a little fed up with politicians shouting at each other, particularly when they claim, as the prime minister did today, that "this is what happens" to the economy, without a nod to "coulds" or "maybes".
These are forecasts, not definitive outcomes.
But, political hubris to one side, today's Treasury analysis can be set apart from the "he said, she said" tenor of much of the EU referendum debate.
It is based on a well understood and tested economic model.
It might be wrong, or the outcomes might be substantially different once real events take hold - as is true of all forecasts - but it is very much worth the paper it is written on.
Earlier this month, Findhorn-based conservation charity Trees for Life called on the Scottish government to leave the beavers or relocate them.
But the government said the animals would have to be trapped and removed as they were released illegally.
Public agency SNH has been trying to find out how many beavers there are.
It said a family of animals were thought to be at the river, but individual numbers were still not known.
A spokesman for SNH said that, once trapped, the beavers would be moved but it was not yet known when, or where they would be moved to, or what period of quarantine would be involved for health checks.
Trees for Life has asked that the animals either be allowed to stay where they are, or be relocated to another part of the Highlands, but not kept in captivity.
It believes the family involves a mother and at least two kits.
The charity also said it was thought there had been beavers at the river for at least five years.
Native Scottish beavers were hunted to extinction in the 16th Century.
Steven Partridge, 24, was jailed for eight years for attempted rape and abducting a child in Westcliff-on-Sea near Southend, Essex, in November 2014.
Kent Police said he had been arrested and bailed for a sex assault on a 19-year-old in Folkestone in August 2014.
Southend councillor Martin Terry said he was "outraged" by what had happened.
"If someone's a known offender, that should be notified to the council by the police. My question is, how was he out on bail?" Mr Terry said.
"I've written to the chiefs of Essex and Kent Police and the police and crime commissioners asking for an inquiry into how this came about."
Last week, Partridge, of Southend, was given an extended sentence of six years' imprisonment for the earlier rape, and a three-year concurrent sentence for sexual assault.
He was also given a three-year extension to his three-year licence period, bringing his total sentence to 14 years in prison and six on licence.
The BBC has asked Kent Police to confirm Partridge's bail conditions at the time of his arrest in August 2014.
The communications watchdog Ofcom will take over regulation of the corporation from the BBC Trust next spring.
Fiona Hyslop said the UK government should commit to "adequate funding" of Ofcom, which had a "pivotal" role in ensuring Scotland was treated "fairly".
A UK government spokesman said it was "appropriate" the BBC funded its own regulation.
The Scottish government has said it wants to bring decision-making on Scottish output "closer" to viewers and listeners, which it argued would require closer scrutiny by Ofcom.
Ms Hyslop said: "The decision to appoint Ofcom as the BBC's external, independent regulator means it now has a pivotal role to play in ensuring that the BBC delivers for Scotland and that this nation is treated much more fairly than it has in the past.
"The UK government must commit to adequate funding for Ofcom, but this must not be funded by the licence fee.
"People across Scotland pay their licence fee to allow the BBC to deliver high-quality productions, not the regulation of the BBC. Instead, this funding should be provided by the UK government.
Ms Hyslop said she was committed to helping the corporation "realise its true potential and deliver more for the people of Scotland".
She said she had offered to meet with senior figures from the BBC and Ofcom to continue to "progress the position supported by the Scottish Parliament and the wider sector in Scotland."
A spokesman for the UK department for Culture, Media and Sport said: "The BBC currently funds its regulation by the BBC Trust and has done since its inception.
"As regulation moves to Ofcom, it is appropriate that the BBC continues to fund its regulation."
The Scottish government has also led calls for a more "Scottish-focused" six o'clock news broadcast.
BBC Scotland has produced pilots for a programme, which could eventually replace the Six O'Clock News and Reporting Scotland programmes on BBC1 Scotland.

The No Nato Newport group wants to gather on council-owned land next to Pill Millennium Centre from 27 August.
More than 100 people attended a public meeting on Tuesday to voice objections to the proposed use of the green space.
Newport council said the No Nato group had a right to protest and it was taking steps to mitigate disruption.
The peace camp is expected to run until the weekend after the conference at the Celtic Manor Resort from 3-5 September.
Newport council has agreed to source toilets, water, waste and cleaning supplies, but it is not yet clear who will pay for them.
Residents say they know little about the protesters' plans and are worried their tent pitches will put the field out of action for the rest of the year.
Sally Wallace, who lives near the park, said: "The problem is we are going to have large amounts of people down here - people are not going to be able to use the fields.
"The ground itself isn't really suitable for a large group of campers."
Debra Scarpato said people were also concerned the camp could attract demonstrations from opposition groups, which could lead to trouble.
"There's been so many things going around Pill and feelings are getting high and it might get out of control," she said.
"That's my worry, that people are going to come down here and start problems."
Council representatives have met protesters and residents to discuss what might be provided at the camp, what restrictions will be in place, and what will be expected of those using it.
But a spokeswoman insisted the authority was not giving the group permission to use the fields.
"While we recognise that people have a legitimate right to protest, we understand the concerns of residents about the playing fields which are widely used by the community so the council is working with partner agencies and taking steps to mitigate the potential impact," the spokeswoman said.
"We met with community representatives to discuss the situation but must emphasise it is being created by the protesters, not the council, so it was not a consultation.
"The council has certainly not given a "commitment" to hold a peace camp in Pill."
The public meeting at Pill Millennium Centre to discuss the camp plans heard from Tracey Holyoake, chair of the community centre's trust, who said the original booking to use the site's facilities made no mention of camping in the field.
Ms Holyoake said she would not allow the booking to go ahead.
Meanwhile Gwent Police have said they will be ready to deal with any impromptu protests that take place during the summit but were not expecting any trouble.
It happened just after 14:30 BST at a level crossing near Stretham.
A man, in his 40s, was treated by the East Anglian Air Ambulance and flown to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
The collision involved a Great Northern King's Lynn to London King's Cross train. The 4x4 was hit at the Nairn level crossing, off the A1123.
Read more on this story and others from Cambridgeshire.
British Transport Police said the male driver of the vehicle suffered serious injuries but they were not thought to be life-threatening.
Network Rail said the crossing was typically used by few than 10 vehicles per day and there were "clear instructions" telling people to phone a signaller to ask permission to cross.
Spokesman Ross Easton confirmed the signaller had not received a call prior to the incident and the telephone system had been working.
"Our thoughts are with the driver of the vehicle and his family and we will continue to assist with the ongoing investigation," he added.
About 115 passengers had to be transferred to another train after it was damaged in the crash.
The alloy is the hardest known metallic substance compatible with living tissues, say US physicists.
The material is four times harder than pure titanium and has applications in making longer-lasting medical implants, they say.
Conventional knee and hip implants have to be replaced after about 10 years due to wear and tear.
Details of the new metal - an alloy of gold and titanium - are revealed in the journal, Science Advances.
Prof Emilia Morosan, of Rice University, Houston, said her team had made the discovery while working on unconventional magnets made from titanium and gold.
The new materials needed to be made into powders to check their purity, but beta-Ti3Au, as it is known, was too tough to be ground in a diamond-coated mortar and pestle.
The material "showed the highest hardness of all Ti-Au [titanium-gold] alloys and compounds, but also compared to many other engineering alloys", said Prof Morosan.
She said the hardness of the substance, together with its higher biocompatibility, made it a "next generation compound for substantively extending the lifetime of dental implants and replacement joints".
It may also have applications in the drilling industry, the sporting goods industry and many other potential fields, she added.
The gold-titanium alloy is a cubic compound with a particular arrangement of atoms found when metals are combined at high temperatures.
Titanium is one of the few metals that human bone is able to grow around firmly, allowing it to be used widely in medicine and dentistry.

Marx Melencio was buying fried rice with his wife at a roadside store in Manila when he was shot in the chest and the head in an apparently random attack.
The first bullet hit him 3mm from his heart. The second missed his brain by 2mm but singed his optic nerve, rendering him blind.
Witnesses say the man who fired the gun was under the influence of both alcohol and drugs, but he's never been convicted.
It was 2003 and Marx was 23 years old.
Fast-forward 14 years and Marx now runs a successful IT company. And he's determined to develop guided "vision" for blind people, through the use of artificial intelligence and smart glasses.
Marx has developed an app that voices up the video-recognition data provided by Microsoft.
The Microsoft platform, known as Cognitive Services, recognises what objects appear in a video and translates that information into text.
Marx has developed a computer code that can turn that text into spoken audio.
"We're standing on the shoulders of giants," he says. "They already have the database there. The only thing left to do is process that data into a usable form for blind people. And to automate the system."
Disability Works: Breaking down barriers in business
More Disability stories
The Microsoft software is open to third-party development by members of the public.
Currently, Marx's prototype provides audio descriptions of video captured on a smartphone camera.
He's currently trying to raise money on a crowdfunding website to make the software available in smart glasses.
"We're banking on the support of others in empowering the blind. It's a new technology. It's the type of innovation I'm looking for because I myself am blind," he says.
At the time of his shooting, Marx was the bass player in a heavy metal band that he'd joined at college.
He continued to play with the group even after he lost his sight.
A competition calling for videos of local music acts led to him developing his first piece of computer software.
"First, I searched for video editing software that I could access even though I'm blind. I had a hard time finding one, obviously," he laughs.
Undeterred, Marx customised the screen-reading software he was already using to work with a video editing programme.
He entered the competition, although his band didn't win.
Soon after that, Marx discovered a computer school for blind people operating in Manila.
The school was offering a medical transcription course that taught how to transcribe the audio notes kept by doctors.
Marx didn't have enough money to pay for the course, but he asked the school if he could do something else in exchange.
The school told him they needed a web developer.
"At that time, I didn't know how to make websites but I told them I did. They gave me a week before I started. In that week, I learned how to develop websites and applications," he says.
"I just did some Googling!"
Marx eventually got a job as a content writer for a local technology company, but soon realised he could start a business of his own.
In 2005, he set up Grayscale, a company offering web design, software development and search engine optimisation for overseas companies.
He started with four workers: himself, his wife Cherry, and two friends. Today the company employs 200 people, a fifth of whom have disabilities.
In 2012, Marx decided to expand Grayscale in to the call centre business.
The Philippines is home to more call centres than anywhere else in the world, providing jobs for 1.2 million people.
"I noticed there was a gap in the market for non-English call centre support services," he says, "so we focused on Japanese, German and French."
Marx hired Filipinos who had previously worked as cruise ship performers, entertaining Japanese tourists. They already had the language skills, so Marx trained them in IT support.
"Once their contracts are up they come back here [to the Philippines] and don't have any employment opportunities, so we trained them in tech."
He also set up a call centre in Poland offering IT services for German speakers, and call centres in Bulgaria and Georgia offering IT support in French.
Three years ago, Marx heard that Tesla, the Silicon Valley tech company, was developing self-driving vehicles.
"When I heard about Tesla, I thought, if artificial intelligence can be used to detect certain objects [on the road], then it will be fairly straightforward to convert what it detects into human readable text and for that text to be converted in to spoken audio," he says.
Since then, Marx has been working to realise that aim.
"I want a piece of software that describes things that are happening around me at any moment," he says.
"First, it will bring back the independence that we've been longing for. I would like to travel and walk around. Even here, I would like to walk around the park with my pet dog. I would like to buy things on my own. I would like to go to the ATM [cash machine].
"These are basic things for everyone but we are missing out."
Marx also has plans to develop the app so that it can read text on a page and translate it in to audio.
"If the blind person looks at the page of a book, our software will be able to read it for him," he says.
Marx is hoping to raise $25,000 (£20,000) to continue developing the app, called SmartVision.
"We've made the algorithms and we've tested it and we want to improve it further. And we also want a way for the blind user to help build the database, to be able to privately name the faces of people, even pets or objects.
"That way, when the blind person uses the device, it will speak out the name of the person that he labelled."
Marx hopes a final version of his app, available on Android and Apple operating platforms, will be ready to release to the public later this year.
Broadmeadows Bridge on the A708 will be shut on 30 January until 3 February from 09:00 to 16:00 each day.
Scottish Borders Council said the timing of the closure - for resurfacing work - had been designed to minimise disruption.
The bridge is expected to fully reopen next month after the completion of the £240,000 repair programme.
The structure was damaged by a vehicle in September 2015, leading to temporary lights being used to allow traffic to continue to use it.
SBC's Gordon Edgar said: "This daytime closure of Broadmeadows Bridge for five days is unfortunately unavoidable.
"We realise it will cause some disruption but hope the Yarrow Valley community recognise that efforts have been made to minimise this, and will welcome the bridge being fully reopened in February."
Glyndwr University bought the ground and fans group Wrexham Supporters' Trust took over the club when it got into difficulties in 2011.
The trust board signed a deal to take on the lease after fans gave their backing in a vote in March.
The Racecourse ground has been the club's home for most of its 152 year history.
An open day was held on Monday, when the deal was confirmed.
Club director Spencer Harris said: "It's a tremendous day in the history of Wrexham football club with the fans taking over effective ownership of the Racecourse ground."
He said the stadium has been a loss-making facility over the years so new projects were being launched in a bid to reverse its fortunes - such as using it as a live music venue following the success of Stereophonics' gig in July.
As part of the open day, Wrexham manager Gary Mills and players held a question and answer session at the stadium's Centenary Club.
Barnaby Jack died on Thursday, the city's medical examiner's office told Reuters, but did not give more details.
He had been due to give a presentation into medical device vulnerabilities at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas taking place next week.
He had said one technique could kill a man from 30 feet (nine metres) away.
IOActive, the security firm at which Mr Jack was director of embedded devices, said it was preparing a statement.
In a tweet, the company said: "Lost but never forgotten our beloved pirate, Barnaby Jack has passed."
His sister Amberleigh Jack, who lives in New Zealand, told Reuters news agency he was 35.
Mr Jack became one of the most famous hackers on the planet after a 2010 demonstration in which he hacked a cash machine, making it give out money. The technique was dubbed "Jackpotting".
More recently, he emerged as a leading expert in the weaknesses that could be found in medical technology.
Last year, he told the BBC about how he had discovered flaws in widely-used insulin pumps which allowed him to compromise the devices.
The hack made it possible to control them and administer a fatal level of insulin, Mr Jack said.
"My purpose was not to allow anyone to be harmed by this because it is not easy to reproduce," he told the BBC during an interview in April 2012.
"But hopefully it will promote some change in these companies and get some meaningful security in these devices."
Mr Jack's expertise and vivid demonstrations of his knowledge at events like Black Hat earned him the respect of many security professionals.
Amberleigh Jack thanked those who have been posting messages of sympathy online.
"So humbled by the social media flood of people that loved @barnaby_jack," she tweeted.
"Thank you all so much for your kind words."
Chiyangwa said Caf was reviewing the manner in which the 2019, 2021 and 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments were awarded to West Africa by the previous Caf administration.
Chiyangwa, who is also head of the Cosafa region (Council of Southern African FA's) spoke of his concerns in April and wants the tournaments to be more widespread.
You as Zambia, if you are ready, you may have an opportunity that arises in 2021
"I am the giver and taker of competitions," Phillip Chiyangwa said during a tour of Zambia last week.
As things currently stand, the 2019 edition will be held in Cameroon while Ivory Coast is set to stage the 2021 tournament and Guinea will be hosts in 2023.
That means the west of the continent would have staged Africa's showpiece event for five consecutive tournaments, from 2015 - when Equatorial Guinea stepped in for Morocco - to 2023.
"I am currently reviewing what happened in the past, there may be possibilities in 2021 going forward, but the reason why I want to be ready with my region is to know which country wants what.
"If an opportunity arises there is no need for me to do last minute searches," Chiyangwa said.
"Our review process is that we go to those countries that bid for those competitions."
Chiyangwa said that the change at Caf was driven by a sense of unfairness in the manner tournaments were awarded to hosts under its former president Issa Hayatou.
"Our contestation on Hayatou to continue in office was the unfair awarding of tournaments to one region," he said.
"Other regions were suffering, if you look at the background of the Issa Hayatou fall, it arises out of the fact that most of the competitions were being awarded to West Africa, not North Africa, not even Central Africa and not even Southern Africa," he added.
"So the chance you have - should in our investigations a decision be arrived at to nullify the other competitions - you as Zambia, if you are ready, you may have an opportunity that arises in 2021."

Kate Frame said, however, that more detailed guidance should be issued to officers who use CS spray in hospital environments.
It follows an incident with a 26-year-old man who was violent at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy in October 2014.
The second incident saw CS spray used to subdue a man at a petrol station in Aberdeenshire on 12 November 2014.
As officers in Portsoy tried to arrest the 44-year-old man, who was wanted for outstanding warrants, he got into his vehicle and a struggle resulted in an officer's hand being trapped in the door.
The officer managed to open the door, release his hand and discharge his CS spray at the man.
In her investigation findings, the commissioner concluded the use of CS spray was justified given the danger the officer found himself in, but noted more careful management of the situation "could have alleviated the risk to the officers in attendance".
All incidences where officers of Police Scotland use firearms, including CS spray, must be referred to the police investigations and review commissioner for independent assessment.
In her investigation report published on Monday, Ms Frame recommends Police Scotland provides detailed guidance to officers to clarify its procedure on managing exposure to CS spray in a hospital setting and liaises with health boards across Scotland to ensure a standard approach in dealing with the discharge of CS spray.
It was also recommended that Police Scotland provide detailed guidance on the issue, use and storage of CS spray to officers in the force's Fife Division.
Ms Frame, police investigations and review commissioner, said: "Although the use of CS spray in this situation was appropriate in order to alleviate the risk presented to the public, careful consideration should be given as to how exposure to CS spray is managed when it proves necessary to use it within a hospital environment.
"Police Scotland should take steps to consolidate procedure across the country and work with the NHS to ensure its staff are clear on what actions require to be taken following the discharge of CS spray."
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Police Scotland acknowledges the findings and recommendations of the PIRC report.
"While officers currently receive full training around the appropriate use of CS spray in situations which require it, further learning points will now by identified and shared with officers."
Last year, Ashers Baking Company was found to have discriminated against a customer who placed the order in 2014.
The owners of the Belfast shop are seeking to overturn that judgement.
The McArthur family has said their case has implications for freedom of expression across the UK.
A barrister for the family told Belfast's Court of Appeal on Monday there was no contractual obligation to provide the cake.
"This was not a refusal to sell a cake, it was about the refusal to sell this particular cake," he said.
"They could not, in conscience, provide a product with a message that was inconsistent with their deeply held religious beliefs in circumstances where the evidence was clear that they believed that to do so would be sinful.
"If a heterosexual person had bought the cake, they would have had the same response."
He told the appeal judges the crucial question was why the order was not fulfilled.
"The issue is the extent to which those who hold such religious convictions can be required by the law to act in a manner inconsistent with their convictions," he added.
He said it would be "extremely difficult" for businesses to run bespoke services "if faced with the position that someone could... order something which is clearly objectionable".
LGBT activist Gareth Lee placed the order for the cake featuring the Sesame Street puppets Bert and Ernie and the logo of the QueerSpace campaign group exactly two years ago on Monday.
He paid for the cake in full but was later told the company could not fulfil his order.
He claimed this made him "feel like a lesser person".
The Northern Ireland Equality Commission, which oversees the region's equality laws, brought a case against Ashers on his behalf.
A judge said religious beliefs could not dictate the law and the company agreed to pay damages of £500.
Arriving at the appeal court on Monday, Daniel McArthur, the general manager of Ashers, said he hoped the judges would not require the company to "endorse a view that goes against our conscience".
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where same-sex marriage remains illegal.
"Two years ago today we were asked to help promote a campaign to redefine marriage in Northern Ireland," said Mr McArthur.
"We never imagined that two years later we would find ourselves still living with the consequences of that request.
"This was never just a case about one little bakery in Belfast.
"It's always had implications for freedom of expression throughout the UK."
The hearing is set to take place across four days before Northern Ireland's lord chief justice and two other senior judges.

But the final day of the 2016-17 Premier League season offered up much stranger goings-on on the pitch - involving snorkels, stray birds and debuts for millennials.
Stoke fan Tyrone Sidley, aka @stokemadsidders on Twitter, messaged striker Peter Crouch and offered to wear Speedos for the game at Southampton if, in return, he could have Crouch's match shirt.
The England international bartered with him, and said he had to wear the swimwear - and nothing else - for the trip to the south coast. Team-mate Charlie Adam then chimed in with a suggestion of a snorkel and flippers, too.
Challenge accepted.
Crouch scored the only goal of the match in Stoke's win over Saints and at the final whistle he found Tyrone in the crowd, complete with tiny shorts and snorkel, gave him a big kiss on the head and handed over the match-winning shirt.
Crouch tweeted later on: "Great way to end the season with a win and celebrating with the legend that is @stokemadsidders."
Watford announced earlier this week that Walter Mazzarri would take charge of his final game as manager on Sunday - after only one season at the club.
And he decided to go out with a bang, by naming three goalkeepers in his squad to face Manchester City.
Rene Gilmartin and Costel Pantilimon were named on the bench but neither was called on as first-choice Heurelho Gomes shipped five goals against Pep Guardiola's side.
There were more weird events to come at Vicarage Road.
An unruly bird made its way on to the pitch and interfered with play early in the second half.
Watford's own Dr Doolittle, M'Baye Niang, came to the rescue and picked the little fella up and handed it over to the fourth official so the game could restart.
Some very cynical fans suggested it was the Hornets' best moment of their 5-0 defeat.
You wait four weeks for one Ayew to score and then two pop up in the same minute.
Jordan Ayew turned home an equaliser for Swansea against West Brom in the 72nd minute and seconds later his brother Andre headed West Ham ahead against Burnley.
Spooky.
Jose Mourinho named Manchester United's youngest ever starting XI in the Premier League on Sunday against Crystal Palace - and two of them reached top-flight landmarks.
Josh Harrop, a 21-year-old forward, became the 100th player to score a Premier League goal for the Red Devils. He netted a superb solo effort as his side won 2-0.
Later on, Angel Gomes was brought on as a substitute and the 16-year-old became the the first player born in 2000 to play in the Premier League.
He wasn't even alive when United won their famous Treble. Now we feel old.

Sri Lanka reached 45-0 but then lost all 10 wickets for 75 runs to slip to 120 all out, with Kyle Abbott, Aaron Phangiso and Farhaan Behardien each taking two wickets.
Hashim Amla made an unbeaten 56 in a comfortable chase that an AB de Villiers six completed with 14 deliveries to spare.
Both teams had already been eliminated.
This was a horrible display from Sri Lanka, who arrived as the defending champions but leave having beaten only Afghanistan.
Without injured captain Angelo Mathews, their middle-order fell apart after openers Tillakaratne Dilshan and Dinesh Chandimal raced to 45 in 28 balls.
Left-arm spinner Phangiso was hit for 10 runs from the first two balls he bowled but, later in the same over, bowled both Chandimal and Lahiru Thirimanne in successive deliveries.
As South Africa, in particular the excellent leg-spin of Imran Tahir, took pace off the ball, Sri Lanka perished to poor shots and sloppy running.
South Africa finish third in Group 1, behind West Indies and England, who play India and New Zealand respectively in the semi-finals.
They may feel unfortunate not to be in the last four - their two defeats both came in the last over of the match - but this was the most comfortable of victories.
Amla was never troubled, occasionally taking boundaries behind square on the off side or wristily whipping through the leg, including one six.
He lost Quinton de Kock to a direct hit from Dilshan and Faf du Plessis to an erroneous lbw, the latter allowing De Villiers to arrive and belt the winning runs off a Suranga Lakmal full toss.
South Africa captain Faf du Plessis: "Unfortunately we played our best game tonight when we were already out. We should have won the first game when we scored 230 and not to get over the line against West Indies was disappointing. I've picked up a few grey hairs in this tournament but hopefully I'll still be here in four years' time."
Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal: "You can't say every time you are a rebuilding team. Someone has to put their hand up and perform well. Batting has let us down throughout the tournament. We didn't execute in the middle and that's why we lost."
Pleidleisiodd 38 o ACau o blaid cynlluniau Llywodraeth Prydain, ac 17 yn erbyn.
Yn y Senedd nos Fawrth bu ACau yn trafod Mesur Cymru, sy'n rhoi pwerau ychwanegol i Lywodraeth Cymru dros ynni, trafnidiaeth, dŵr a threfniadau etholiadau i'r Cynulliad, ymysg pethau eraill.
Mae'r mesur yn "amherffaith" ond yn gam arall ar hyd "siwrne ddatganoli", medd y Prif Weinidog Carwyn Jones.
Ond mae nifer o arbenigwyr a gwleidyddion yn poeni fod y newidiadau hefyd yn cyfyngu ar bwerau gweinidogion ym Mae Caerdydd.
Cytunodd Llywodraeth Prydain i beidio â bwrw ymlaen heb bleidlais gadarnhaol yn y Cynulliad.
Penderfynodd y grŵp Llafur gymeradwyo'r mesur, a gyda chefnogaeth y Ceidwadwyr, cafodd y mesur ei phasio.
Cyn y bleidlais, dywedodd Mr Jones: "Beth fydd gennym yw model amherffaith, ond wedi pwyso a mesur, fy nghred i yw taw'r llwybr orau i ddilyn, wrth i bobl Cymru ddelio â chwestiwn Brexit, yw derbyn yr hyn sy'n cael ei gynnig.
"Ry' ni'n ei weld felly fel cam arall ar siwrne datganoli."
Roedd hi'n amwys i beidio cael deddfwriaeth ar wahân i Gymru, meddai Mr Jones, gan awgrymu y gallai bobl gael eu harestio yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol am droseddau oedd ond yn bodoli yn Lloegr.
Ychwanegodd: "Mae'n ddryslyd i'r cyhoedd ac i'r cyfreithwyr."
Mae'r mesur hefyd yn cadarnhau y bydd pwerau i reoli canran o dreth incwm yn cael eu datganoli, a hefyd yn sicrhau fod y Cynulliad yn rhan barhaol o gyfansoddiad Prydain.
Yn gynharach cyhoeddodd Plaid Cymru na fyddai'r blaid yn cefnogi'r mesur yn y Senedd.
Dywedodd arweinydd y blaid Leanne Wood fod y Mesur yn "rhoi ag un llaw, a chymryd ag un arall".
Roedd hi'n gwerthfawrogi cymhelliad ACau oedd o blaid y Mesur, meddai, ond roedd Plaid Cymru am weld "llawer iawn mwy" o bwerau'n cael eu datganoli.
Ychwanegodd bod rhesymau'r blaid am wrthod y cynnig - pryder bod y mesur yn gwanhau'r setliad datganoli - yn hollol wahanol i rai UKIP, sydd hefyd yn gwrthwynebu'r newidiadau.
Ar ran y Ceidwadwyr dywedodd David Melding: "Mae gennym gyfle nawr i symud ymlaen o faterion cyfansoddiadol.
"Dylai'r llywodraeth Lafur yng Nghymru nawr hoelio'u sylw ar wneud y gorau o'u pwerau a chyflawni ar ran cymunedau Cymru - creu swyddi, cynnig gwasanaethau cyhoeddus effeithlon a buddsoddi yn sgiliau ac ysbryd mentrus pobl Cymru."
Dywedodd arweinydd grŵp UKIP, Neil Hamilton, ei fod e'n gefnogol o egwyddorion y mesur.
Ond ychwanegodd fod dileu'r gofyn am refferendwm cyn trosglwyddo pwerau dros dreth incwm - yn unol â'r bwriad gwreiddiol - yn "wallus".
Roedd hi'n "egwyddor bwysig y dylai gwleidyddion gadw at eu gair a chadw eu haddewidion".
Fe fyddai'r mesur yn cyflwyno system o bwerau sydd wedi eu dal yn ôl yn San Steffan, ond mae'r beirniaid yn dweud ei fod yn aneglur ac y gallai arwain at droi'r cloc yn ôl ar elfennau o ddatganoli.
Ymhlith y pwerau newydd yn y mesur mae:
The robot, built by Renishaw in Rhondda Cynon Taff, implanted probes into Denise Casey's brain.
Mrs Casey, of Skewen, Neath Port Talbot, was diagnosed at 31 and has suffered up to six fits a day for the past 20 years.
She said the preliminary success of the operation, previously not possible, "offered hope" to others.
The robotic arm allows surgeons to operate on epilepsy sufferers who were previously untreatable.
It is far more accurate at placing probes into a patient's brain and reduces the operating time significantly.
Mrs Casey has not suffered any fits since her operation in March and said her life had "improved 100%".
Before, she could not go out alone as a seizure would leave her not knowing where she was.
"It's been remarkable, they said it was a robot and you think of something like that in the films. I know it's only been a couple of weeks, but so far it has been wonderful," she said.
The surgeon who operated on Mrs Casey, William Gray, a professor of functional neurosciences at Cardiff University, said the robotic arm had "phenomenal accuracy".
He said the operation would normally take more than four hours, but with the robotic arm it took 55 minutes.
"I think it's a major step forward, this robot puts the instrument in the right place," he added.
Renishaw also makes 3D printed body parts which are used in operations in Welsh hospitals.
Yet when Julian Warowioff explains what the firm he works for does, his eyes start to well with tears.
"It's the idea of doing something for a higher cause. It sounds a little pathetic but for me it has always been my motivation for why I want to be in the business world," he says explaining his emotion.
German start-up Lemonaid Beverages - a soft drinks firm using organic and fair trade ingredients - gives 5p of each bottle purchased to its charity which aims to help disadvantaged communities globally.
Without the big marketing budgets of its multinational rivals, Mr Warowioff, UK managing director at Lemonaid, says the firm is trying to carve out its own niche using word of mouth, and trying to spread the word about the company and its charitable projects by attending music festivals and similar such events to meet potential customers directly.
To do this successfully, he says it relies on its staff, like him, having a genuine passion for the firm's wider social agenda to sell its products.
"[People] always ask is it a very sort of green looking advertisement campaign of a big company, or do you guys really live by the standards that you claim for?" he says.
This kind of authenticity is what larger firms often struggle to convey, both externally to customers and shareholders, but also internally to their own staff.
Leadership expert Steve Tappin believes the financial crisis has created the problem - leading to a "huge" lack of trust in big business.
Since then a seemingly never ending stream of corporate scandals - from the manipulation of global benchmark rate Libor, to foreign exchange rate fixing and Tesco managing to overstate its half-year profit by £250m -have only exacerbated the issue.
As a result rebuilding trust is one of the most critical issues facing chief executives today, according to Mr Tappin.
Campbell Soup chief executive Denise Morrison knows first hand of its importance. The 146-year-old firm famed for its tinned soups, is having to adapt to a new world sceptical of big food makers.
In particular, she says consumers want fresh food and are more interested in the health impact of what they're eating.
Under her watch, the firm has bought healthfood brand Bolthouse Farms - the biggest acquisition in the firm's history - and baby food maker Plum Organic.
The rapid changes in how the firm operates have required her to work hard at rebuilding trust with her staff, and she's found the best way is to be open.
"I want to treat people the way I like to be treated and be very straight with them. We've navigated a lot of change at Campbell's. The best thing for me to be able to do is to discuss that change with people," she says.
Savvy companies are beginning to realise that the current lack of trust creates a competitive gap which they can take advantage of.
Tim Brown, chief executive at global design firm IDEO, has recently helped launch Chinese restaurant chain Hunter Gatherer.
The chain is trying to directly address fears over food safety - an area where China's record has been poor with a series of disasters from melamine in home-produced baby formula to mislabelled meat.
The restaurant chain grows its own food on organic farms and displays daily what percentage of the menu has come from them.
"It's a great eating experience but it's also about trust and transparency," says Mr Brown.
Firms - which get it right - can also create a competitive advantage in securing the best staff, says China Gorman, a HR executive with over 20 years' experience.
"No matter where in the world, no matter what industry, no matter the size of the company - trust is the foundation for creating a great workplace culture," she says.
But she admits it doesn't come easily to many, particularly those more used to a hierarchical structure.
"For some in the baby boomer generation knowledge is power. We operate on a need-to-know basis and I'll tell you what you need to know."
This feature is based on interviews by leadership expert Steve Tappin for the BBC's CEO Guru series, produced by Neil Koenig.
The warning came as a leading UK citizen science programme launched a tree health monitoring project.
Tree officers suggest urban trees, already under stress from city living, are among the most susceptible.
Last year's arrival of ash dieback threatens to change the nation's treescape forever, ecologists say.
"Firstly, it is important to say that is very difficult to prioritise what are the main threats," explained David Slawson, head of plant health public engagement at the Food and Environment Research Agency (Fera).
"But I would always say the main threat is 'unknown'."
Dr Slawson added: "It may sound slightly alarming, but the likes of Phytophthora ramorum was not defined by science when it started causing problems.
How to spot the signs
"It could be an unknown disease that could be the next big thing and that is why putting generic measures in place that aim to protect against everything are so vital."
One of those measures is a formal scientific process called Pest Risk Analysis (PRA), he told BBC News.
"So there is a very well established international procedure on how you do assess the risk of an individual pest," he said.
As well as safeguards put in place by plant scientists within Fera and the Forestry Commission, Dr Slawson explained that the European Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) was continually monitoring the movement of potential threats to Europe's flora.
EPPO also publishes Pest Alerts, which acts as an early warning system and often forms the basis for scientists to exchange data and research at the monthly meeting of the EU Plant Health Standing Committee.
Now, another dimension has been added to the array of monitoring methods - citizen scientists.
Fera is one of the partners in the Open Air Laboratories' (Opal) latest survey, which focuses on tree health.
Opal is was designed to get people outdoors and provide a chance to get involved in scientific research.
Its director, Dr Linda Davies, said: "Tree health is one of the most important surveys Opal has developed so far.
"Whilst learning about local trees and gathering lots of interesting information, local people can also contribute their findings to a national research programme investigating the condition of the nation's trees and the factors affecting them."
Bleak expectations
Scientists are expecting this summer to reveal that ash dieback will have extended it reach across the landscape.
The omens are not promising. This week saw the first confirmation of an outbreak of Chalara fraxinea disease in the wider environment in Wales.
"Once again, it brings into sharp focus the ongoing threat our trees and woods are facing and highlights the need for a stringent plan of action to protect them," said Austin Brady, head of conservation at the Woodland Trust.
"Ash dieback is just one of the many diseases and pests already in the country with many more just across the border in Europe."
Keen for early detection of new cases of ash dieback, the Forestry Commission has posted a video on its website to help people identify infected trees during the spring.
The Commission said the video was designed to help people spot tell-tale signs on ash trees, which are late coming into leaf compared with other species.
"We are particularly interested in suspected cases in counties where it has not been found so far," Dr John Morgan, head of the Commission's Plant Health Service.
He added that August and September were the best months to look for symptoms of dieback because by the autumn infected leaves could be confused with leaves that were naturally changing colour.
Although the temporary ban on ash imports remains in force, the government issued a statutory plant order in January that required people to notify officials if they planned to bringing ash, sweet chestnut and plane trees into England.
How ash dieback could threaten Britain's wildlife
The Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) wants the government to go further and ban imports of the three tree species, all of which have been the victims of potentially devastating infections overseas.
The arrival of ash dieback in the UK was in February 2012 when a consignment from a nursery in the Netherlands was confirmed to be infected with the disease.
The HTA called for ash imports to be banned in 2009 after seeing the impact of the disease in Denmark.
Recently, the HTA said that sweet chestnut tree imports should also be banned as concern grew about the spread of a usually fatal blight (caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica) through much of mainland Europe.
The UK had a close escape in late 2011 when the disease was identified at nine locations but the infected trees were destroyed before the fungus became established in the surrounding environment.
It had previously never been recorded in the UK on the species that the Romans are understood to have originally introduced to Britain.
In late 2011, the HTA also called for the introduction of a ban on plane tree imports.
A fungal disease, known as canker stain of plane trees and found in mainland Europe, has a history of leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.
It was first recorded in the US during the 1930s and, in the space of a few decades, had wiped out most, if not all, London plane trees (Platanus × acerifolia) - a popular street tree - in cities along the east coast, from New York state to Louisiana.
It is believed to have been brought to Europe via crating material, made from infected wood, used by the US military during World War II.
Watching and waiting
French researchers fear the highly infectious disease will wipe out all of the estimated 42,000 plane trees that line the banks of the nation's 240km (150-mile) Canal du Midi - a UN world heritage site - by the middle of the next decade.
Jake Tibbetts, chairman of the London Tree Officers Association, says the arrival of canker stain of plane trees in the UK would be deeply worrying.
He said: "When you talk about the heritage of trees and what we have gained from the planting done by the Victorians, my biggest concern is that as those big, landmark trees had to removed en mass, very quickly, we would suddenly be left with a very different urban landscape - one that would be very problematic to replant.
"When those trees were planted [in Victorian times], the soil was in better condition, pavements were not as impermeable as they are now.
"And there was not the same level of competition above and below ground that those trees now have," he told BBC News.
"London plane trees, a decade ago, were thought to be as tough as old boots, with no real pests or diseases to threaten them.
"They were considered fantastic trees to plant and would grow anywhere; now we are having to question whether London plane trees are suitable trees to plant for the future."
James Carson claimed four goals, with James Kyriakides (2), Owain Dolan-Gray, Rupert Shipperley and Luke Hawker also scoring.
On Sunday, Wales opened their account with a 2-1 win against Czech Republic and next face Russia on Wednesday looking to seal a semi-final spot.
The winners of the event will be promoted to Championship I.
Wales captain Hawker was delighted with the result: "We couldn't be happier, the mood within the camp is really good as you'd expect coming off the back of a 9-0 performance.
"It's something we've been working towards for the last couple of years really... it's great sat here having played two and won two."
The women's team are also in EuroHockey competition and began on Sunday with a 6-1 win over Austria in their B Division tournament in Cardiff.
Speaking at UKIP's Spring conference in Llandudno, he said the 23 June referendum could be "independence day" if the UK voted to leave the union.
He said he doubted official figures "told the truth" about immigration.
Mr Farage also said he was optimistic his party would "make a breakthrough" in June's Welsh assembly elections.
Elections will be held in Scotland, Northern Ireland and London, as well as in Wales, on 5 May and the UKIP leader told the conference he was "pretty optimistic" the party was going to do "very well".
'Real devolution' if UK leaves EU
The UK's EU referendum: All you need to know
EU vote: Where the cabinet and other MPs stand
EU reform deal: What Cameron wanted and what he got
Mr Farage hailed the fact that an in-out referendum was taking place as a victory for his party, and challenged Home Secretary Theresa May to a televised debate on immigration ahead of the vote.
"I do not believe that we are being told the truth about the number of people coming to this country.
"I believe that the true figures actually would shock us," he told the conference.
"Mass migration into Britain on this scale is not good for our country.
"It is not good for our quality of life, it is not good for social cohesion in our society, and our population inexorably headed towards 70m or 75m will not make this a better, richer or happier place to be.
"But as EU members there is nothing we can do about it."
He warned that expansion of EU membership - potentially to Bosnia and Turkey - would add to concerns over immigration, saying: "If we remain members of the EU it is a perfectly reasonable, sane thing to say that our migration crisis will get worse."
And he said remaining inside the union could leave the UK vulnerable to a Paris-style terror attack, or a repeat of the sexual harassment reported in Cologne.
"Surely one of the first duties of the British government should be to do everything within their power to protect our people from the horrors that we saw in Paris and the indignities that we saw in Cologne.
"The best and the safest way for us to attempt to prevent such things is to leave the EU and to take back control of our borders."
It comes as Mr Farage dismissed a warning from G20 ministers about the UK leaving the EU as "no surprise" and "mates helping each other out".
Finance ministers from the world's leading economies had warned of a "shock" to the global economy if the UK votes to leave.
"I'm not surprised that big government gets together to support David Cameron," Mr Farage said.
"This is big banks, big business, big government all scratching each other's backs. I don't think that impresses voters."
Ladybird Books will stop publishing books labelled "for girls" or "for boys".
It follows a campaign to encourage publishers to stop designating books for certain genders.
Ladybird has previously published books such as Ladybird Favourite Fairy Tales for Girls and Ladybird Favourite Stories for Boys.
Famed for its classic Peter and Jane reading scheme, Ladybird said it did not want to be seen "to be limiting children in any way".
In a statement it said it was "committed" to avoiding gendered titles and will be removing such labelling in reprinted copies.
"Out of literally hundreds of titles currently in print, we actually only have six titles with this kind of titling," it said.
It is the seventh publisher to commit to the Let Books Be Books campaign which is urging "boys" and "girls" labels to be removed to enable children to choose freely what kind of story and activity books interest them.
Ladybird, which is part of the Penguin Random House Children's division, said it had been in discussions with the campaigners as part of its decision.
The campaign group, which believes gender titling is "limiting and restrictive", has gained more than 6,500 signatures on a petition to challenge publishers to remove their labelling.
It said titles like "The Beautiful Girls' Book of Colouring" or "Illustrated Classics for Boys" sends the message certain books are off-limits for girls or for boys, and promote limiting gender stereotypes.
"How can a story or a colouring page be only for a girl or only for a boy? A good book should be open to anyone, and children should feel free to choose books that interest them," its petition reads.
Other publishers who have said they will no longer publish books labelled for boys or girls include Usborne, Parragon, Chad Valley and Dorling Kindersley.
Launched in Leicestershire in the 19th Century, Ladybird has published millions of illustrated books in the UK, covering everything from history, science and fairytales to, more recently, e-books and popular brands such as Peppa Pig and Hello Kitty.
The Labour leader called for a dialogue in the country, where more than 120 people have died during months of anti-government protests.
He has been under pressure to condemn President Nicolas Maduro, after voicing support for him in the past.
Mr Maduro has been accused of behaving like the "dictator of an evil regime" by Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
In the latest developments, Mr Maduro said a search was under way in Venezuela for 10 men who escaped with weapons after an attack on a military base.
Mr Corbyn has previously supported the Venezuelan government under both socialist president Hugo Chavez and his successor Mr Maduro.
As a backbencher he attended a 2013 vigil following the death of Mr Chavez, hailing him as an "inspiration to all of us fighting back against austerity and neo-liberal economics in Europe". He also shared a platform with Mr Maduro in 2006.
Speaking in Crawley, West Sussex, where he was attending a meeting of Labour Party members, Mr Corbyn said: "I'm very sad at the lives that have been lost in Venezuela. The people who have died, either those on the streets or security forces that have been attacked by people on the street - all of those lives are terrible for the loss of them.
"There has to be a dialogue and a process that respects the independence of the judiciary and respects the human rights of all."
Asked whether he condemned Mr Maduro's actions, Mr Corbyn said: "What I condemn is the violence that's been done by any side, by all sides, in all this.
"Violence is not going to solve the issue. The issues in Venezuela are partly structural because not enough has been done to diversify the economy away from oil - that has to be a priority for the future."
He added that "effective and serious attempts at reducing poverty in Venezuela" should be recognised.
Speaking on BBC Newsnight, Juan Andrés Mejía, founding member and national director of one of the main Venezuelan opposition parties, Popular Will, said: "What I would say to to Jeremy Corbyn is that he really has to know what's going on in our country to be able to make a statement.
"Violence has not been done by both sides. Violence has been promoted by the government."
Labour MP John Spellar, a member of a new Parliamentary group on Venezuela who has been a critic of Mr Corbyn, said: "We should be clearly on the side of Venezuelan freedom and should be calling for respect for the clear mandate of the freely elected national assembly and the freeing of all political prisoners.
"That should be the position of the Labour Party."
Former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott told the BBC Mr Corbyn did not "run away" from opinions he had previously expressed about Venezuela, adding that it was important to "reassess when there are new circumstances".
Rival parties criticised Mr Corbyn's response to questions about the country.
Conservative MP Henry Smith attacked his "failure to condemn Venezuela's strangulation of democracy and descent into chaotic poverty" while Lib Dem leader Sir Vince Cable added: "The leadership of the Labour Party must make it abundantly clear that they have ended their infatuation with the Venezuelan regime."
Beppe Sannino, Oscar Garcia and Billy McKinlay all had stints in charge this term before the former Chelsea midfielder took charge last week.
"The situation is a little bit strange. But it's not the players' fault," the Serb told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"I am looking at what is in front of us. I expect the team to find stability with me and they are ready to go."
Former Fulham coach and Blackburn midfielder McKinlay had only been in charge for eight days before being replaced by Jokanovic on 7 October.
Sannino had quit the Hornets on 31 August and Garcia stepped down 29 days later for health reasons.
But despite that remarkable turnover, Watford are third in the Championship, level on points with the top two.
"This is part of football. Some guys lose their job and some guys find a job," said 46-year-old Jokanovic, who led Partizan Belgrade to consecutive Serbian doubles in 2008 and 2009.
"I try to understand it and I am trying to look at what is in front of me."
Jokanovic arrives at Vicarage Road with a reputation for playing possession football, but he expects to have to adapt that style for the Championship.
"If somebody thinks I've arrived here to make a small Barcelona, they are wrong," he said ahead of this weekend's trip to face Sheffield Wednesday.
"I am in England. My team and me we are going to compete in the Championship and I respect this competition.
"We are optimists and believe we can have a good season and be in contention. There are many games in front of us."

The All Blacks utility back was involved in the opening try from Louis Ludik before he powered over for a try.
Rob Herring added a third Ulster try and they led 24-0 at the break.
Alex Walker touched down for the Saints and Piutau set up Jacob Stockdale for a try before Northampton tries from Tom Collins and JP Estelles.
Piutau, a rising star of New Zealand rugby, signed for Ulster in April and joined up with the Belfast team this summer.
It was a home debut to remember for the Ulster fans as Piutau caught a cross-field ball and passed to Robert Lyttle, who put in Ludik for the first try.
Piutau showed his strength to barge over for his own try while Herring added the third try from a driving maul.
A blistering run and lay-off from Piutau saw Stockdale complete Ulster's try-scoring.
Academy player Lyttle kicked nine points and he also caught the eye as Ulster completed their pre-season preparations.
Ulster start their Pro12 campaign against the Dragons at Kingspan Stadium next Friday.
Ofsted downgraded Darul Hadis Latifiah in Bethnal Green, saying pupils were not being "prepared for life in modern Britain".
Inspectors found "grimy" facilities and "inappropriate" literature.
The school, for boys aged 11 to 20, said it was "preparing a formal complaint" in response. It said the camera only viewed the "washing area".
Ofsted reported a CCTV camera was found "in the communal area of the toilets" and displayed images in "plain view" of the reception area.
Changing rooms and showers were labelled "grimy and disgusting" after mouse droppings and sharp metal were found on the floor.
During a two-and-a-half day inspection in October a book was found in the school library which "promoted inappropriate views of how girls and women should behave".
School leaders said they were "unaware" of the book's presence, but claimed the book referred to the belief women should "dress modestly".
Ofsted concluded "there are too few opportunities to learn about women in modern society" at the school.
Very few pupils were able to name "the new British prime minister or were aware of the first female presidential candidate in the elections taking place in the United States of America" during the inspection.
Respect for women was taught, but was limited "to the roles of motherhood and families" during Islamic studies, the report added.
Some pupils told the inspector that if they asked questions about sex and relationships they would get a detention.
Inspectors concluded the government's flagship counter-terrorism strategy was not being implemented at the school.
Failing to identify any risks to pupils in line with the government's "Prevent strategy" left pupils "exposed to being drawn into situations which put them at risk of harm", Ofsted concluded.
Badrul Islam, secretary to the school's governing board, said the school did "not accept most of the findings".
"We know our whole mission is to prepare our pupils for life in British society as good British Muslims".
Merthyr Town Football Club hopes work to lay a synthetic pitch can be completed by early into the start of next season once they have signed a new lease at Penydarren Park.
The club says a 25-year deal is being negotiated with Merthyr Tydfil council.
Fans took over when the club, which plays in the English Southern League, went into liquidation three years ago.
Other developments include demolishing the derelict Strikers social club, providing more parking, and extending social and community facilities.
The money comes from the Ffos y Fran Community Fund in an agreement between the borough council and a firm extracting coal from the nearby Ffos y Fran land reclamation scheme.
Merthyr Town chairman Meurig Price said: "We feel that the new 3G pitch is definitely the way forward to ensure stability of the club.
"We will be able to use it much more than a grass pitch.
"This season we had 62 games on the ground and the pitch suffered because we didn't have the money or the equipment to improve the pitch."
The ground is used by the teams for disabled footballers, a football academy, college and veterans' teams as well as women's football.
Football's world ruling body fined all four UK nations for displaying poppies during World Cup qualifiers around Armistice Day.
A board of the Northern Ireland governing body said the punishment was "extremely disappointing".
"The Irish FA had discussions with Fifa to get guidance on what was permitted within the laws of the game," it said.
"Having followed that guidance in the delivery of the acts of remembrance at the match, it is extremely disappointing that the Fifa disciplinary committee came to the conclusions that it did.
"The Irish FA cannot appeal the 15,000 Sfr (£12,000) fine under Fifa regulations, and having discussed the options at the board meeting this evening the association will not pursue any further legal recourse."
But the IFA said it would write to Fifa president Gianni Infantino to "arrange an urgent meeting to seek clarity on this issue".
Portraits are central to what makes photography so compelling, offering us a glimpse of our own past, drawing up long-forgotten moments or a glance at the lives of others.
Whatever the limits of the camera are, for the most part, you can say that a picture shows something that once was.
Mix that with our need to interpret the faces and poses we see in pictures, and good portraits come alive.
That's the magic of photography, whereby a still and silent image can evoke far more than any moving pictures with sound ever will.
A competition that focuses on this is, as the name suggests, the Portrait Salon and on Thursday, 29 November 2012, it is holding simultaneous projections at four venues across the country.
The judges, Karen Newman from Open Eye Gallery, Hat Margolies from Lucid Rep, and photographer Dan Burn-Forti, selected the pictures to be shown from 1,110 entries.
As you would expect, there are some cracking pictures on show.
Portrait Salon was formed last year and describes itself as a form of Salon des Refuses - an exhibition of works rejected from a juried art show - that aims to showcase the best of the rejected images from the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize, which is organised annually by the National Portrait Gallery (NPG).
As the founders of Portrait Salon, Carole Evans and James O Jenkins write in the newspaper-style catalogue that accompanies the show, the idea began as an experiment and was not intended to upset or disrupt the Taylor Wessing, but to allow those whose work did not make the walls of the NPG another outlet.
They write: "We want to give exposure to those great images that for one reason or another don't make the cut but still deserve recognition."
Add to this judge Karen Newman's remarks about the subjective process the act of judging is, and you get a truly delightful mix of pictures on show.
You can see a few of them below and if you'd like to see the projection, details can be found on the Portrait Salon website or follow them on Twitter.
Christine Ourmieres-Widener had previously said she planned to "stop unprofitable flying" to reduce the airline's losses.
This led to concerns that services would be reduced at Cardiff.
But Ms Ourmieres-Widener told BBC Wales they were looking at "new charter opportunities" for the airport.
Flybe's increase in routes played a major part in a 16% rise in passenger numbers last year at Cardiff Airport.
The airline currently operates 18 routes out of the airport, including major hubs like Dublin, Paris and Berlin, which allows passengers to fly on to other locations.
When Ms Ourmieres-Widener took over as chief executive, she said the airline would have to change how it operates in order to reduce losses.
She will unveil a five-year business plan in the summer and said Cardiff Airport would be at the centre of it.
"We are looking at new opportunities with the airport," she said, including "charter opportunities, maybe for next winter or next summer".
She added: "We are always studying new opportunities with the airport and the marketing team is working very well with us."
Cardiff Airport chief executive Debra Barber said it was always a concern when there is a change in a senior team of an airline.
"You do wonder what's going to happen, but I think we've got a really strong partnership with Flybe," she said.
She added Ms Ourmieres-Widener has "some fantastic plans for the airline and is looking at different ways of doing business".
Challenges remain for Flybe though.
Its website and booking system has faced criticism and Ms Ourmieres-Widener accepts it needs to improve. She plans to invest significant sums of money to overhaul what it offers online and through apps.
Flybe's also facing stiff competition from rail companies including from First Great Western, which runs the London to Cardiff service.
Ms Ourmieres-Widener said the performance of flights from Cardiff to London City airport was "fine" but she would like to see more passengers using the service.
The match at the Caledonian Stadium will now be played on Tuesday, 12 April, with a 19:45 BST kick-off.
Up to 12 Hearts players have been suffering from gastroenteritis and an under-20s match was cancelled to provide cover.
Head coach Robbie Neilson was concerned about the bug spreading.
"Players had been away on Scotland Under-21 duty and a couple of the guys from other teams had had it," he told BBC Scotland.
"They came back here, John Souttar had it and it looks like it has spread from there and all five of them that went away last week with the 21s were down with it and a few other guys as well.
"The worry is that it then spreads even further through the club and possibly even up to Inverness with the Inverness players.
"So, the doctor's made the decision we're going to have to close this place down for two days, get it cleared out and hopefully by the time we come back in on Thursday be ready to go.
"If we finally get up there next Tuesday, that'll be the third attempt to get the game played and we're desperate to get it done. It's three journeys, three hotels paid for, three bus journeys paid for so it's been an expensive trip this time."
The Scottish Professional Football League said in a statement Hearts applied for the postponement as the majority of their first-team squad were affected by injuries or illness and they had only one fit goalkeeper over the age of 16.
It added: "The Heart of Midlothian FC doctor has provided written evidence to the SPFL of the injuries and sickness of all those affected and has also advised of the potential for further infection, both of other squad members and of players and staff of Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC.
"In these exceptional circumstances, the SPFL has agreed to the postponement request."
Hearts are scheduled to play Aberdeen at Tyencastle on Friday evening.
"It's important that we get Friday's game done and then try and get the game done next Tuesday because it's an important period for everyone, not just ourselves but the other teams as well trying to get into the top six," added Neilson.
The books will be offered to 11 and 12-year-old sixth grade students to encourage them to read during their summer holiday break.
The donation follows a similar scheme in Chicago, where Patterson gave away more than 28,000 books to students.
The author has sold more than 300 million books worldwide.
Although he is best known for his Alex Cross novels, he has also been highly praised for his young-reader books including Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life, I Funny and Treasure Hunters.
'Summer slide'
"I love New York City, and I'm so delighted to be sharing the gift of books and reading with the city's sixth graders," Patterson said.
"These students have the potential to do great things, and supporting and nurturing that potential is our most important job as parents, and as citizens."
The aim of the donation is to "avoid the summer slide when students lose ground in their learning progress during long breaks from class".
New York Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina added: "We know that in the long-term summer reading is critical in enabling our students to succeed both in and out of the classroom, and this donation will help do just that."
Patterson has been an active campaigner in encouraging children to read.
In 2008 he set up his ReadKiddoRead initiative to help parents, teachers and librarians find the best books for children of all ages.
Last year he also joined Booktrust's Get Dads Reading campaign to encourage more fathers to read to their children. | Plans for an anti-Nato "peace camp" on playing fields in Newport have angered residents who insist they have been given no say on the protest event.

They say that work on the Airbus A320's cockpit voice recorder will begin "within hours".
It paves the way for experts to analyse data that could help explain what caused the crash.
Flight MS804 from Paris to Cairo plunged into the Mediterranean Sea on 19 May, killing all 66 people on board.
In a statement, Egypt's investigation commission said that the flight data recorder had been "successfully repaired... by the French accident investigation agency laboratory".
The voice and flight data recorders, known as black boxes, arrived in Paris from Cairo on Monday so that salt deposits could be removed.
They will be sent back to Cairo so the data can be analysed.
Also on Monday, the Paris prosecutor opened a manslaughter investigation into the crash.
A spokeswoman told the Associated Press that it would begin as an accident inquiry because there was no evidence so far to link it to terrorism.
Investigators appear to think the Airbus A320 was not brought down deliberately.
The flight recorders were recovered from the plane's wreckage, about 290km (180 miles) north of the Egyptian coast and at a depth of about 3,000m (9,800ft).
Automated electronic messages sent by the plane revealed that smoke detectors went off in a toilet and in the avionics area below the cockpit, minutes before the plane's signal was lost.
Radar data shows the plane turned 90 degrees left and then 360 degrees to the right, dropping from 11,300m (37,000ft) to 4,600m (15,000ft) and then 3,000m (9,800ft) before it disappeared.

David Cameron has promised to speed up efforts to get a new deal for the UK ahead of an in/out referendum planned by the end of 2017.
He will shortly set out the UK's wish list in writing after pressure from EU leaders who say he has not been clear about what he wants from them.
Mr Osborne looks set to prepare the ground in a speech in Germany.
Speaking in York, at the launch of a new infrastructure commission, the chancellor said: "We are now starting to negotiate directly with our colleagues in Europe through the European Council, and setting out more detail of what we think is required."
He said he would use a trip to Germany next week to set out more details of the changes the government wants to see in the way the EU operates.

The claim centred on allegations that Purdue Pharma Canada used deceitful marketing practices for the powerful prescription painkiller.
The proposed resolution brings to a close a legal battle launched in 2007.
Purdue says it makes no admissions of liability by resolving the class action.
A spokeswoman for the pharmaceutical company said on Tuesday the complaints "stemmed from marketing activities that allegedly occurred primarily between 1996 and 2001".
The multi-million dollar nationwide settlement includes $2m(US$1.5m/£1.1m) compensation for provincial health authorities. The settlement still needs to receive approval in Canadian courts.
Lawyer Ray Wagner, whose Halifax-based firm partly oversaw the class action, said on Tuesday that if everything proceeds as planned, the settlement should be finalised by mid-2018 or early 2019.
"The litigation has gone on for 10 years," Mr Wagner said.
"In no way is it going to resolve the harm to individuals so horribly affected by (the drug) but it's at least some resolution and, if approved by the court, some comfort."
He said the lawsuit currently has about 2,000 claimants who say they became addicted to OxyContin after being prescribed the narcotic.
They represent "a real spectrum" of people ranging from labourers to business owners, retired police officers, and athletes.
The class action and resolution is being overseen by a consortium of four law firms, including Mr Wagner's, who filed claims against Purdue in various Canadian jurisdictions a decade ago.
Behind the United States, Canada is the second-largest per capita consumer of opioids.
Canada, like the US, is struggling to get a handle on soaring rates of opioid addiction and abuse.
Health Canada says the opioid crisis is driven both by the emergence of fentanyl and other powerful illicit opioids as well as high levels of addiction to legal painkillers.
The federal health agency says the addictions "have been caused, in part, by inappropriate prescribing practices and poor education about the risks associated with opioids".
In 2007, Purdue and three of its top American executives pleaded guilty in Federal Court in Virginia to "misbranding" by falsely claiming OxyContin was less addictive and less subject to abuse than other pain medications,

The Financial Times reported that Ms Staveley's firm, PCP Capital Partners, had taken legal action against the bank in London.
The fundraising at the height of the financial crisis aimed to bolster Barclays' financial health and prevent a UK government bailout.
The bank will contest the action.
"We believe the claim against Barclays is misconceived and without merit and Barclays will be vigorously defending it," it said in a statement.
Ms Staveley told the FT that a claim against Barclays had been filed in the High Court, but declined to comment further on the exact nature of the action.
She is seeking damages of as much as £720m.
PCP Capital Partners invested £3.5bn in Barclays in October 2008 on behalf of Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Barclays also raised £5.3bn from Qatari investors that year.
In September 2013 the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said Barclays had "acted recklessly" and breached some rules over disclosing some aspects of the Qatar deal.
The regulator said it planned to impose a £50m fine on the bank, which has contested the findings.
The FCA accused the bank of agreeing £322m in secret payments to Qatari investors to gain their support for a £5bn fundraising in 2008.
Barclays said the fees were for giving advice.
The Serious Fraud Office is also conducting a criminal investigation into the cash call.
Fire took hold in the Grade II house in Node Court, Codicote, Hertfordshire, the early hours of 12 July 2015.
Police said the blaze, which "ravaged" the roof, had been "the largest of its kind in the UK".
Joshua Bozier, 24, of Dalton Way, Whitwell, admitted arson and was jailed for three years and four months at Cambridge Crown Court.
Bozier had smashed the window of a car parked next to the building and set it alight, Hertfordshire Police said.
More on this and other news from Hertfordshire
It spread to the thatched roof, totally destroying it and causing extensive damage to the building itself.
Investigators described Bozier's actions as "mindless, fruitless and reckless".
The blaze in the building, which housed a number of businesses, was "thought to be one of the most costly arsons the country has known", Det Con David Quinn said.
The extraordinary payment is just the latest twist in a legal case that has led to investigations into allegations of police corruption and a cover-up of key evidence.
Both Scotland Yard and the Crown Prosecution Service deny any wrongdoing.
Former solicitor Bhadresh Gohil was expecting to be released from prison on bail last November, having served half his sentence for fraud and money laundering. Less than a week before the release date, prosecution barrister Sasha Wass QC applied for bail to be revoked.
Mr Gohil's defence team argued in a bail hearing that the prosecution had "manipulated dishonestly and in bad faith" the process by repeatedly telling the court that unconditional bail was unopposed.
At the same hearing, Sasha Wass told the judge that she had made it plain that the Crown "would be seeking to review bail when the halfway point of Mr Gohil's sentence arose".
"The defence were on notice that the question of bail would be revisited," the CPS prosecutor told the court.
The Crown Prosecution Service has now agreed to pay Mr Gohil £20,000 "in full and final settlement" of claims that he was unlawfully detained for 33 days between 20 November and 22 December 2015. Bail was finally granted just before Christmas.
However, the CPS states that it "makes no admission of liability or of any wrongdoing" by its staff or counsel instructed by the service.
A payment of £20,000 in a case where an individual is deprived of his liberty for 33 days as a result of claims of misconduct by the Crown is significantly higher than might be expected for "basic damages".
Mr Gohil was jailed for 10 years in 2010 for helping Nigerian politician James Ibori launder millions in money that had been corruptly obtained.
Ibori was also jailed for 13 years in 2012 having pleaded guilty to laundering millions in the UK through the purchase of property and expensive cars.
While in prison, Mr Gohil anonymously sent documents to the authorities which purported to show police officers investigating James Ibori had accepted bribes from private detectives hired by the man they were pursuing.
Following a £1m investigation by Scotland Yard's Department of Professional Standards, Mr Gohil was accused of forging the documents and subsequently charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Prosecutors alleged that he had faked the documents to try to get his conviction overturned on appeal.
However, the Crown Prosecution Service abandoned a planned trial in January this year amid defence claims that crucial evidence of alleged police corruption had been covered up.
In May this year, the CPS acknowledged that it had intelligence that "supports the assertion" that a Metropolitan Police officer was paid for information.
Det Sgt John McDonald, who had headed the investigation into James Ibori, was then removed from the National Crime Agency's International Corruption Unit, where he had been on secondment.
A review of Det Sgt McDonald's status was initiated and the Metropolitan Police has confirmed that the review has been completed and the officer has now been deployed to an operational post in its specialist crime and operations unit.
Det Sgt McDonald has always denied any wrongdoing.
The National Crime Agency is currently conducting a review into alleged evidence of police corruption, claims that the CPS withheld key evidence from defence lawyers and whether the convictions of James Ibori and others including Bhadresh Gohil are safe.
They are fans of one of Cuba's best-known contemporary writers, Leonardo Padura, and they are at the Havana International Book Fair to get their hands on his latest book.
"This is the only place you can get it," Javier laments, "and just look at the queue!"
One thousand copies sold out in an instant.
Away from the fair, Mr Padura's work is almost impossible to find in Havana's state-run bookstores where most shelves are stacked with thick tomes on socialism, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.
The scarcity of popular writers' work is a common complaint in Cuba which stopped importing books after the revolution and established its own publishing houses.
The goal, accompanied by a literacy campaign, was to make books accessible to all by subsidising production. It also gave total state control over what is printed here.
With Soviet funds, Cuba's presses turned out more than 50 million books a year in the boom times but the demise of the USSR sent production plummeting.
"We'd like to print more literature, but our finances don't permit that," explains Zuleica Romay, president of Cuba's official Book Institute.
She argues the reason there are so many political books on shop shelves is that novels and poetry sell out fastest.
"If you really want people to have access to books, they have to be cheap and of course this limits us producing the quantity we'd like to," Ms Romay adds.
Cuba published some 25 million books last year, though two-thirds of these were text books.
Modern foreign titles are rare as buying rights is expensive.
"At first, Cuba produced the classics in enormous quantities so you could have 100,000 copies of a Balzac novel, say. That created a mass of readers," explains Pedro Juan Gutierrez, an acclaimed novelist.
"But we have known very little contemporary literature since 1960; we're very disconnected. People here are very anxious to get good books."
So the Havana fair always attracts vast crowds. As well as low-priced, Cuban-produced books, printed for the occasion, there are glossy foreign novels and non-fiction too.
One Mexican bookseller is doing a brisk trade with piles of Doris Lessing novels, books on Yoga and even Alan Greenspan's autobiography.
"It's a good opportunity for us to sell titles of a certain age to the Cuban market, where they've not been seen yet," Andres Castillo explains.
A student has managed to find George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four; others stream out into the sunshine clutching children's books and chunky dictionaries.
Some books are still banned, though.
There is no sign at the fair of novels by well-known critics in exile, like Zoe Valdes, and whilst Pedro Juan Gutierrez's scatological expose of the darkest possible side of city life, The Dirty Havana Trilogy, has been published to great praise in 22 languages, Cuban editors will not touch it.
He lost his job as a journalist when the book came out in Spain but, more than a decade on, several of his other novels have been released here.
"I think those making the decisions have slightly more freedom now," Mr Gutierrez suggests.
"We writers have carried on writing what we want, and now they're slowly publishing my titles."
In another sign of what writers hope are changing times, the word on the literary grapevine is that the work of Heberto Padilla is due to be published posthumously, for the first time since he was imprisoned as a counter revolutionary in the 1970s.
The poet's name has long been synonymous with Cuban censorship.
And at the book fair, Leonardo Padura was awarded Cuba's 2012 National Literature Prize despite a body of work which highlights social issues still off-limits to the state-run press.
Mr Padura says there was "a lot of incomprehension" initially, things were "very difficult". But he dates an increasing tolerance back to the economic collapse of the 1990s.
"In the 90s, paper, electricity and ink all disappeared and Cuba stopped publishing books. For writers, that break with state institutions created a space that soon filled with freedom," he explains.
"First, we began writing differently. Then we began finding publishers abroad. It created a different kind of literature, where criticism is part of the writer's vision just like anywhere else in the world."
Eventually, Mr Padura's books were printed here in Cuba, though in limited quantities as his Spanish publisher now holds the rights. But he believes that has helped other local writers to push the boundaries.
"No-one in Cuba has a safety net, there's always an element of risk when you have a critical vision," the author admits.
"But three or four years ago all the talk was about homogeneity and unity. Now, it's that other views should exist. I think that understanding is making a different kind of art possible."
And now, recognised for his life's work at just 58, Leonardo Padura is allowing himself to be optimistic about the future.
"After so many difficult years, when so many things were banned and denied us, people here deserve to live better, to have a bit more freedom," he says.
Water quality warnings have been issued on beaches in the county because of the problems, South West Water said.
It said intense rainfall leads to run-off from fields and towns combining and affect bathing water quality.
Andy Cummins, Surfers Against Sewage (Sas), said the drainage infrastructure needed to be upgraded.
"We need a sewage infrastructure that can cope with the amount of rainfall we get year on year," he said.
For the latest on this story, click here
"Our infrastructure needs to be able to cope with everything we put down the loo."
Sas has previously slammed South West Water's systems after claiming there had been 40 incidents of raw sewage polluting beaches in one weekend last year.
Mr Cummins said many people were not even aware "raw untreated human sewage" was discharged into the sea when the problem arose.
Tourism groups in the area have complained about the sewage, saying it puts people off going into the sea.
Fatos Fida, on holiday from London, said: "I think it is disgusting. As a tourist I had no idea. It puts me off visiting the beach as it isn't hygienic."
A South West Water spokesman said they operate an information system telling people about storm water overflows and the risk of pollution affecting quality.
The firm was the only water and sewerage company of the nine operating mainly in England, to have performed "significantly below target" by the Environment Agency's (EA) 2015 performance assessment.
It had 171 category 1-3 pollution incidents per 10,000 km of sewer, 74 more than the next worst-offending firm, the EA reported.
An Environment Agency spokesman said being rated "poor performance" led to "more visits, scrutiny of incidents we attend and increases the number of audits we carry out".
The woman had been having affairs with both men for more than four years and apparently refused to choose between them.
The agreement sets out a rota for Sylvester Mwendwa and Elijah Kimani to stay in her house and states they will both help raise any children she bears.
Mr Mwendwa told the BBC he loved the woman and said the contract would "set boundaries" and "keep the peace".
Lawyers said the "marriage" would only be recognised if they could prove polyandry - a woman having more than one husband - was part of their custom.
The BBC's David Okwembah in the capital, Nairobi, says polyandry is not practised by any community in Kenya.
People have reacted with shock to the "marriage", arguing that it is not acceptable in terms of their culture, religion or the law, he says.
Defending the "marriage", Mr Mwendwa told the BBC Focus on Africa programme that while he may acting in breach of the law, he had decided to enter into a contract with Mr Kimani to end their rivalry.
"It could have been very dangerous if the other man would have come to her house and caught me... So our agreement is good as it sets boundaries and helps us keep peace."
Community policing officer Adhalah Abdulrahman persuaded the two men to marry the woman after he saw them fighting over her in Mombasa county, the local Daily Nation newspaper reports.
"We have agreed that from today we will not threaten or have jealous feelings because of our wife, who says she's not ready to let go of any of us," the agreement says, Kenya's NTV station reports.
"Each one will respect the day set aside for him. We agree to love each other and live peacefully. No-one has forced us to make this agreement," it adds.
Mr Mwendwa said her parents had given their blessing, while he is planning to pay the bride price.
The woman, a widow with two children, did not want to be named.
Mr Mwendwa told the BBC he did not marry the woman simply to satisfy his sexual desires but because he loved her and, most of all, her children.
"I have never been called a dad and her two children call me daddy," he said.
He said he hoped to have his own children with the woman, but she would have to decide.
"She is like the central referee. She can say whether she wants me or my colleague," he added.
Kenyan family lawyer Judy Thongori told the Daily Nation that the law does not explicitly forbid polyandry.
"The laws we have do not talk about it but for such a union to be recognised in Kenya, it has to be either under the statutory law or as customary marriage. The question we should ask now is whether these people come from communities that have been practising polyandry," she is quoted as saying.
A woman was injured when six cars collided before 09:00 near the road's Munlochy junction, north of Inverness.
Two cars were involved in the second incident near the scene of the first accident. One of the cars caught fire but no-one was hurt.
The accidents shut the southbound carriageway for several hours.
Fire crews from Dingwall, Beauly and Inverness, along with ambulance crews and police, were sent to the scenes of the accidents.
Two women trapped in the wreckage of two cars were freed by firefighters.
A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "Thankfully no-one involved in the incidents was seriously injured."
Earlier, at about 07:20, firefighters from Inverness and Nairn were called to a collision between a car and a van on the A96 at Delnies, near Nairn.
A man was hurt in the crash. The road was closed after the incident, but has now reopened.

The carmakers hope to launch "the world's first affordable, mass-market fuel cell car" by 2017.
A common hydrogen electric fuel system will be created that will be used in different vehicles.
The three companies want to encourage others to push on with developing the necessary refuelling stations.
Fuel cell electric vehicles generate their power from hydrogen and oxygen, and emit only water.
"Working together will significantly help speed this technology to market at a more affordable cost to our customers," said Raj Nair, group vice president of global product development at Ford.
"We will all benefit from this relationship as the resulting solution will be better than any one company working alone."
The statement from Ford, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Daimler stressed the geographic spread of the firms. It also said it hoped their co-operation would help "define global specifications and component standards, an important prerequisite for achieving higher economies of scale".
Dr Anthony Baxendale, manager of Future Transport Technologies & Research at Mira Ltd, a UK firm focusing on creating advanced vehicle and systems technology, said this type of fuel cell had been "bubbling under" for a while.
But the main problem in the past had "been how to get production volumes up in order to get prices down".
"The production cost until now has been prohibitive, so by collaborating and joining forces they will be hoping to accelerate development," he said.
"The technology is there - it has been the costs that have not been viable until now. The time is right too - it plugs into a growing market for electric cars," he added.
The fuel cell development work will use existing facilities, including the site of a joint venture between Daimler and Ford to develop fuel cells in Vancouver, Canada.
Renault-Nissan and Daimler have been forming an increasingly close partnership since 2010. Last year, they announced an engine-sharing agreement.
BMW and Toyota are also working together on electric hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell technology,
"We have won in F1 as a team and as an engine supplier," he said. "There is no reason why we cannot repeat that."
Renault have also confirmed they have dropped Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado from their driver line-up.
Former McLaren driver Kevin Magnussen will partner Jolyon Palmer for 2016, with Esteban Ocon as reserve.
Frenchman Frederic Vasseur will run the team, with experienced engineer Bob Bell as chief technical officer.
The car Renault unveiled has a predominantly black livery with flashes of yellow, which is the company's corporate colour.
But Renault Sport Racing president Jerome Stoll implied the livery could change before the first race of the season in Australia on 20 March and a spokeswoman said the colours seen on Wednesday were temporary and would only be used for testing.
Renault chief executive Carlos Ghosn said: "We are not here [just] to participate, we are here to compete at the highest level and eventually win. It's not going to happen in 2016 - it's going to take more time."
He set a target of podium appearances in the next three years.
Renault must continue to rebuild the Lotus team they took over last year and improve their engine, which has lagged badly behind the Mercedes power-unit since the introduction of turbo hybrid engines in 2014.
The tourists racked up 289-7 in their 50 overs at Malahide with Neil Broom hitting 79 and Ross Taylor adding 52.
A third-wicket stand of 86 between O'Brien (109) and Andrew Balbirnie (36) gave Ireland hope but they collapsed from 212-5 to 238 all out.
New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner (5-50) took five wickets.
Ireland's opener against Banglasdesh on Friday was washed out.
The Black Caps were captained for the first time by Tom Latham, while Central Districts fast bowler Seth Rance and Northern Districts all-rounder Scott Kuggeleijn made their debuts.
Luke Ronchi (37) and Latham (15) put on 53 for the opening partnership and it was a solid platform from which New Zealand capitalised.
Taylor and Worker (50) put on an unbroken 84 before Broom's impressive knock helped to set a target of 290 for the hosts.
Barry McCarthy (2-59) and Tim Murtagh (2-62) were the pick of the Irish bowlers.
O'Brien failed to get the support required to take Ireland close to the target but it was a superb innings, which included nine boundaries and five sixes in 162 balls.
Ireland were 26-2 after debutant Kuggeleijn (3-41) accounted for openers Williams Porterfield (12) and Paul Stirling (14).
Gary Wilson contributed 30 but when Santner had O'Brien stumped by Ronchi, leaving the Irish on 235-8, it signalled the end of the run chase.
"It was a nice nice milestone personally but without the win it's gutting," said wicketkeeper O'Brien.
"We were in a great position in our innings and it was just a just a case a case of moments not going our way.
"I'm delighted to get that performance - it was a long time coming and hopefully I can crack on from here."
It was a game against his home country for Ireland coach John Bracewell, who featured in 41 Tests and 53 one-day internationals for New Zealand before coaching the national side between 2003 and 2008.
The series sees the Irish continuing their countdown towards possibly being handed Test status next month.
The 11 September 2001 attacks killed almost 3,000 people in New York, the Washington DC area and Pennsylvania.
In New York, families of the victims read the names of each person who died at the World Trade Center.
President Barack Obama honoured the dead at a memorial ceremony outside the Pentagon.
"We pray for the memory of all those taken from us... Our hearts still ache for the futures snatched away, the lives that might have been," he said.
The attacks led to a long war in Afghanistan and created an expansion of government surveillance powers that have recently been the subject of intense debate.
A separate memorial service was held outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, honouring the passengers and crew of United Flight 93. They struggled with the hijackers of the plane, preventing it from hitting its intended target, believed to be the White House or the US Capitol building.
All 33 passengers and seven crew members on the flight were killed after the plane crashed into a field about 75 miles (120km) south-east of Pittsburgh.
"No matter how many years pass, this time comes around each year, and it's always the same," Karen Hinson, who lost her brother, Michael Wittenstein, in New York, told the Associated Press news agency. His body was never found.
More than 1,000 people gathered on Wednesday at the National September 11 memorial plaza in New York City to read the names of all those killed in the 2001 and 1993 attacks on the building.
Bagpipes and a youth choir began the proceedings, held around two reflecting pools that stand in the footprint of the destroyed towers.
"To my nephew Michael Joseph Mullin, we miss you and think of you every single day," said one of the 250 people chosen to read names, many of them family members of the victims.
"You're gone but not forgotten," another woman said of her lost cousin.
The reading was paused for several moments of silence, including 8:46 local time (12:46 GMT), when the first plane hit the North Tower; when the second plane hit the South Tower; when each building fell; and when the third and fourth planes hit the Pentagon and the field outside Shanksville.
A number of other cities held memorial services on Wednesday.
Builders are meanwhile putting the finishing touches to the new World Trade Center tower and a museum dedicated to the attacks.
One World Trade Center is now the tallest building in the Western hemisphere, its spire reaching to 1,776ft (541m), a symbolic number alluding to the year of the US Declaration of Independence.
On Tuesday, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for what will be a visitor centre on the site of the Flight 93 national memorial park.
The building, expected to open in late 2015, will be broken in two where the plane flew overhead. Visitors have already left 35,000 tributes at the site.
Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for the 9/11 attacks, in which 19 hijackers also died when they seized control of four planes, crashing three of them into their intended targets.
The batsman and wicketkeeper, 33, has spent 16 years at Durham and will miss his own benefit game in order to finish the season with Gloucestershire.
A finger injury to 24-year-old wicketkeeper Gareth Roderick led the club to pursue Mustard.
Head coach Richard Dawson told the club website: "Phil brings vast experience and match-winning abilities which I'm sure he will show at Gloucestershire."
Mustard has played in all of Durham's major trophy-winning sides and helped Lancashire to promotion while on loan in 2015.
He is also Durham's leading appearance maker in both first-class and T20 cricket.
Gloucestershire hope Mustard will be eligible for their One-Day Cup match against Surrey at the Oval on 27 July.
He would not be eligible if Gloucestershire and Durham were to meet in the knockout stages of either limited-overs competition.
As of Friday, 1,350 EU students had been accepted on to courses across Wales - up 11% on the previous year.
Cardiff and Aberystwyth universities both received a record number of applications from EU students for this term.
This was despite some applications being withdrawn after the referendum.
But Aberystwyth said the number was "measurably fewer" than predicted before the referendum.
A spokeswoman said: "Brexit has undoubtedly been a factor in discouraging conversion, persuading applicants to look further at what options are available in their own countries."
"Undoubtedly, this will have an impact on our finances," she added.
There had been fears the decision to leave the European Union could affect student numbers and finances.
EU students currently pay the same tuition fees as Welsh domiciled students and are entitled to apply for the same grants to cover course fees to study here.
Following the referendum, about 100 EU students withdrew their applications to study at Aberystwyth and 25 from Cardiff.
However, it remains unclear how decisive the referendum outcome was to these figures, given EU students received their exam results at about the same time as the June vote.
According to Ucas data, the number of EU students choosing to study in Wales continues to increase, following the trend seen across the whole of the UK in recent years.
The number of students from EU countries accepted to Welsh universities, not including those from the UK, increased by more than 50% since 2012.
As of 2 September, the number set to attend courses across the UK stood at 29,940 - 1,350 of which are enrolled in Wales.
Cardiff University said Brexit had led to "little impact" so far on its finances, with 2,319 applications made for this term - a 20% increase since 2014/2015.
Universities Wales said the rise in overseas students could be partly down to the student experience in Wales.
Overall student satisfaction hit a record high this year, with 86% of students saying they were happy with their course.
Universities Wales spokeswoman Olivia Jones said: "This commitment to delivering excellent learning and teaching will undoubtedly attract students from across the UK, the EU and beyond."
University of South Wales, Bangor and Glyndwr Universities all said they could not confirm how many EU students would be enrolled on courses when term starts this autumn.
Students are able to apply until 20 September for courses for this academic year, with acceptance numbers changing on a daily basis as clearing continues.
Bangor University said only time would tell if uncertainty surrounding the referendum would have an impact on the behaviour of students and prospective staff.
A spokesman said: "The majority of the recruitment activity for 2016 entry was carried out before the Brexit vote, and we expect the majority of our existing EU students will have completed their degree programmes with us by the time Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is invoked and the subsequent negotiations with other member states is concluded."

But what do they actually do?

Tracking Miss Daisy
Cars and trucks drive themselves, and there's hardly ever an accident. Robots root through the earth for raw materials, and miners are never trapped. Robotic surgeons rarely make errors.
Clothes are always brand new designs that day, and always fit perfectly, because your home fabricator makes them out of recycled clothes from the previous day. There is no laundry.
I can't tell you which of these technologies will start to work in this century for sure, and which will be derailed by glitches, but at least some of these things will come about.
Who will earn wealth? If robotic surgeons get really good, will tomorrow's surgeons be in the same boat as today's musicians?
Will they live gig to gig, with a token few of them winning a YouTube hit or Kickstarter success while most still have to live with their parents?
This question has to be asked. Something seems terribly askew about how technology is benefitting the world lately.
How could it be that since the incredible efficiencies of digital networking have finally reached vast numbers of people that we aren't seeing a broad benefit?
How could it be that so far the network age seems to be a time of endless austerity, jobless recoveries, loss of social mobility, and intense wealth concentration in markets that are anaemic overall?
The medicine of our time is purported to be open information. The medicine comes in many bottles: open software, free online education, European pirate parties, Wikileaks, social media, and endless variations of the above.
The principle of making information free seems, at first glance, to spread the power of information out of elite bubbles to benefit everyone.
Unfortunately, although no one realised it beforehand, the medicine turns out to be poison.
While people are created equal, computers are not.
When people share information freely, those who own the best computers benefit in extreme ways that are denied to everyone else.
Those with the best computers can simply calculate wealth and power away from ordinary people.
It doesn't matter if the best computers run schemes called high frequency trading firms, social media sites, national intelligence agencies, giant online stores, big political campaigns, insurance companies, or search engines.
Leave the semantics aside and they're all remarkably similar.
All the computers that crunch "big data" are physically similar. They are placed in obscure sites and are guarded like oilfields.
The programs that the best computers are running are also similar. First comes the gathering of freely offered information from everyone else in the world.
This might include scanned emails or social media sharing, sightings through cloud-connected cameras, or commercial and medical dossiers; there's no boundary to the snooping.
In order to lure people into asymmetrical information relationships, some treat is often dangled.
The treat might be free internet services or music, or insanely easy-to-get mortgages. The targeted audience eventually pays for these treats through lost opportunities.
Career options will eventually narrow, or credit will become insanely tight.
Ordinary people, or more precisely people with only ordinary computers, are the sole providers of the information that makes the big computers so powerful and valuable.
And ordinary people do get a certain flavour of benefit for providing that value.
They get the benefits of an informal economy usually associated with the developing world, like reputation and access to barter. The formal benefits concentrate around the biggest computers.
More and more ordinary people are thrust into a winner-takes-all economy. Social media sharers can make all the noise they want, but they forfeit the real wealth and clout needed to be politically powerful.
In most cases there was no evil plot. Many of the people who own the top computers are genuinely nice.
I helped create the system, and benefit from it. But nonetheless, it is not sustainable.
The core problem starts with philosophy. The owners of the biggest computers like to think about them as big artificial brains. But actually they are simply repackaging valuable information gathered from everyone else.
This is what "big data" means.
For instance, a big remote Google or Microsoft computer can translate this piece, more or less, from English to another language. But what is really going on is that real translations, made by humans, are gathered in multitudes, and pattern-matched against new texts like this one.
A mash-up of old translations will approximate the new translation that is needed, so long as there are many old translations to serve as sources. Real human translators are being made anonymous, invisible, and insecure.
As long as we keep doing things the way we are, every big computer will hide a crowd of disenfranchised people.
As it happens, the very first conception of digital networked communication foresaw a way out of this trap. I am referring to Ted Nelson's early work, dating back to 1960.
The first idea of networked digital media included a universal micropayment system, so that people would be paid when data they added to a network was used by someone else.
This idea is anathema to the current orthodoxy. If you are bristling, please give what I'm saying a chance.
Just because things have a cost, that does not mean they can't be affordable. To demand that things be free is to embrace an eternal place for poverty. The problem is not cost, but poverty.
Monetising information will bring benefits that far outweigh the inconvenience of having to adjust one's worldview.
Consider the problem of creepiness. Creepiness is when you don't have enough influence on your information life.
Government cameras track you as you walk around town, despite wars having been fought to limit the abilities of governments to do that.
Aside from governments, every other owner of a big computer is doing exactly the same thing. Private cameras track you as often as government ones.
Privacy regulations attempt to keep up, but face dismal odds. Does anyone believe such regulations have a chance?
But what if you were owed money for the use of information that exists because you exist? This is what accountants and lawyers are for.
The government should not be able to spy on you for free any more than the police should get free guns or cars. Budgets create moderation.
If the biggest computers had to pay for information, they wouldn't cease to exist.
Instead big computers would have to earn their way by providing new kinds of value. Spying and manipulating would no longer be business plans, because the raw materials would no longer be free.
In fact, the owners of the biggest computers would do fine in a world of monetised information, because that would be a world with a growing economy.
In a world of free information, the economy will start to shrink as automation rises radically. This is because in an ultra-automated economy, there won't be much to trade other than information.
But this is the most important thing: a monetised information economy will create a strong middle class out of information sharing - and a strong middle class must be able to outspend the elite of an economy for democracy to endure.
While the open information ideal feels empowering, it is actually enriching those with the biggest computers to such an extreme that it is gradually weakening democracy.

The victim was found with stab wounds to the neck and stomach injuries at 17:15 BST on Thursday in Moss Side, Manchester.
He underwent surgery in hospital but died on Saturday, Greater Manchester Police said.
A 17-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of attempted murder has been bailed pending further enquiries.
Police believe the victim was chased near to Greenheys Lane in Moss Side by a group of men.
A short time later, he was hit by a blue Vauxhall Corsa on Moss Lane East, before being stabbed.
The car was later recovered on a small road in Whalley Range, police said.
Det Ch Insp Terry Crompton said an investigation was ongoing and appealed for witnesses to the attack.
Over the course of the campaign the gap between the main two parties narrowed but, with one exception, the final polls all suggested a clearer Conservative lead than the actual outcome.
Having said that, it wasn't an unmitigated disaster. Every poll throughout the campaign put the Conservatives ahead - and that was indeed the result.
The final polls were fairly accurate about the Conservative and Lib Dem shares. It was Labour where they were uniformly wrong. They also overestimated UKIP and the SNP.
Survation were closest to the actual result. Kantar Public's numbers were also reasonably good.
YouGov's final poll, like most of the others, seriously underestimated Labour. Prior to that, they had been suggesting a closer race. They also had a separate seat projection model which had been indicating a hung parliament. That had been met with a lot of scepticism but, with hindsight, was pretty accurate.
In the final weeks of the campaign, the polls were often criticised for being "all over the place". It's true that they were pointing to very different outcomes.
That variation clearly made it difficult to interpret what they were saying. It's surely better, though, that they had different numbers than that they were all wrong in exactly the same way. If you're looking for consistent accuracy then opinion polls are probably not for you.
Pollsters are also sometimes accused of herding - deliberately manipulating their figures so they all say the same thing. That accusation can't be levelled at this election.
In 2015 the polls went wrong because their samples were not representative of the electorate - they contained too many Labour voters. They also failed to estimate the difference in turnout rates between different age groups - they overestimated turnout among young voters.
The pollsters who were furthest from the actual result this time were those, like ICM and ComRes, who had taken the strongest measures to try to rectify the problem from 2015. Survation made no significant changes to their methodology and came out on top.
It looks as though the errors this time were caused, at least in part, by fighting the last war.
We'll never know the exact figures for turnout among young voters - it's a secret ballot remember - but YouGov's post-election estimate puts it at 57% for 18-19 year olds and 59% for 20-24 year olds.
That's lower than for older voters but considerably higher than estimates for young voters in 2015.
We can also see that the places where the number of voters increased the most were generally those with young populations. The assumption made by some pollsters that young turnout would continue to under-perform was probably wrong.
Scotland face Slovakia on Tuesday having slipped up in a 1-1 draw at home to Lithuania in World Cup qualifying.
"He has been rude, he's been cantankerous and I just feel he doesn't want to be there any more and he is showing that in every interview," Sutton said of Strachan on BBC 5 live.
"That's his body language and I think he wants out."
Scotland were booed off at Hampden Park on Saturday and Sutton thinks that Strachan's responses to the media are turning the fans - and players - against him.
"I think his comments in the summer were appalling," said the 43-year-old who earned one cap for England.
"He said that Scotland were a nation of scared footballers and I think of the impact that would have had on the players at that time - they would have been totally disgruntled by that.
"I think he's losing credibility with the fans. I don't agree that a lot of fans are still on his side.
"Gordon Strachan said Scotland don't have big stars like Gareth Bale and then the Scottish fans see Iceland, they see Northern Ireland, they see Wales and their performance and think we want a piece of that."
Sutton also questioned the choice of Fulham's Chris Martin for the lone striker role.
"Here's the biggest problem - that Gordon Strachan the other night played Chris Martin, a centre forward who hasn't scored in 20 club games," he said.
"And you have Steven Fletcher, who has actually started scoring again for Sheffield Wednesday, you have Leigh Griffiths who has scored barrel load of goals and who Gordon, for whatever reason, doesn't rate and nobody in Scotland other than Gordon understands that."
Former Scotland defender Steven Pressley, who scouted Slovakia for Strachan in their game against Slovenia on Saturday, issued a strong defence of the current team boss.
"Do you not think that Gordon analyses the opposition, considers many permutations and comes up for a reason for playing certain players in certain games?" he told BBC Scotland.
"I was not party to the decision ahead of the Lithuania game, but I can understand his reason for playing Martin.
"Lithuania are a team that deny the space to the opposition behind them, meaning that Scotland would be looking to have a link player in the team and that would have been Gordon's reason I imagine."
Pressley, who is confident that Scotland can get a good result in Slovakia, also stressed that changing the manager again is not the answer.
"We have to look at the bigger picture," he said. "When was the last time our under-21s, for example, qualified for a major event? It was something like 25 years ago.
"So the reality is we are not bringing through the players we had before.
"It is like groundhog day. Two or three years down the line, we want another manager. The reality is that that is not the fix.
"There surely comes a point when it runs deeper than just the manager.
"We have to make radical changes to the way our young players are developed and, until we do that, nothing is going to change.
"It is groundhog day. We change the manager and nothing changes."
In a statement issued after a closed-door summit, they promised the free market would play a bigger role.
A new committee will oversee internal security to guard against social unrest, and farmers will be given more property rights over their land.
A BBC correspondent says the leaders will now have to persuade officials below them to implement the reforms.
The so-called Third Plenum talks began in Beijing on Friday, and ended with a brief communique outlining areas that had been agreed on.
The BBC's Celia Hatton in Beijing says the reforms could carry enormous importance - a more complete list of changes to the economy and the social sector is expected to be released in the coming days, or even weeks.
Details of what was agreed are still emerging.
The Communist Party leaders said markets would be allowed to play a leading role. State ownership would remain a pillar of the economy.
"The core issue is to straighten out the relationship between government and the market, allowing the market to play a decisive role in allocating resources and improving the government's role," the statement said, Reuters news agency reports.
Our correspondent says the party is vowing to carry out deep reforms across the economy and the government to reach a "new stage of development".
A lengthy television story heading China's flagship state newscast showed rows of Communist Party officials, including Chairman Xi Jinping, sitting at long tables studying paper documents in front of them.
The report contained a long list of vague party pledges - from a plan to create a modern military to one that encourages foreign investment in China's coastal cities, our correspondent adds. Other changes include promises to institute stronger systems to check corruption.
Ahead of the meeting another area expected to be discussed was China's household registration system.
The meeting was being closely watched after senior Communist Party official Yu Zhengsheng said last month that "unprecedented" economic and social reforms would be discussed at the meeting.
Q&A: China's Third Plenum
Third Plenum: Key issues
Analysts did not expect any political reforms to be on the agenda.
How successful the reforms turn out to be remains to be seen.
It will take time to assess their impact.
And where economic or social reforms are agreed, local officials and groups with vested interests may be reluctant to implement them, correspondents say.
Third Plenums refer to the third time new leaders of China lead a plenary session of the Central Committee. They generally take place a year after new leaders take office, after they have established their power base.
Previous Third Plenums have had a major impact on China's development.
At the Third Plenum in 1978, former leader Deng Xiaoping announced the opening-up of China's economy, spearheading major market-oriented reforms.
In 1993's Third Plenum, former leader Zhu Rongji announced the "socialist market economy" and dismantled a large part of China's state-owned sector.
Security was tight in Beijing for the meeting, with tensions higher than usual in the wake of an incident on 28 October in Tiananmen Square and bomb blasts in the north of the country days after.
Five people were killed in what Chinese officials called a "terrorist attack" incited by extremists from the western region of Xinjiang when a car drove through crowds and burst into flames near an entrance to the Forbidden City.
Less than a week later, a series of small blasts killed at least one person outside a provincial office of the ruling Communist Party in Shanxi province.
The life-sized models of Mary and Joseph in a stable caught fire outside Shirley Warren Action Church.
Firefighters were called at about 20:00 GMT on Saturday after the blaze was spotted from a nearby house.
The Reverend Jenny Elliot said the scene had taken about 70 hours to build and her congregation would be "very disappointed" by its destruction.
But she added that she and another church staff member would stand in as live models for a Christingle service due to be held later.
The Rev Elliott said: "I feel very sad about it, but we are determined that the show still goes on."
She said the scene had been outside the church for about three weeks and it had created "a lot of interest" in the area.
A few days earlier a new sign located outside the church that cost about £100 had also been destroyed, the Rev Elliot said.
She said the fire had caused damage estimated at about £400 and she had reported it to Hampshire Police.
Mr Manziel is accused of hitting and threatening to kill Colleen Crowley during a night out in January.
The former Cleveland Browns quarterback is expected to plead not guilty. If convicted he faces up to a year in jail and a $4,000 (£2,750) fine.
The Browns dropped him from the team after poor play on the field and bad headlines off.
Despite success playing football as a university student, Mr Manziel - nicknamed "Johnny Football" - has struggled with substance abuse and has had a spell in a rehabilitation centre.
An indictment accuses him of striking Ms Crowley and "forcing [her] into a vehicle and against a vehicle dashboard".
She accused her former partner of hitting her so hard she lost her hearing, according to the indictment.
The National Football League (NFL) has toughened its policies on domestic violence after criticism that another player, Ray Rice, received only a two-game ban for assaulting his then-fiance.
The move could complicate any effort by Mr Manziel to return to the game.
The 46-year-old, the first local coach in six years to take charge of the Leone Stars, was unveiled in Freetown on Thursday.
Keister will also continue in his current job as coach of local premier league club FC Johansen, owned by Sierra Leone FA president, Isha Johansen.
His main task is to qualify the Leone Stars for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
Keister has served as Leone Stars assistant coach to three foreign managers - Ghanaian Sellas Tetteh, Swede Lars Olof Matsson and Northern Irishman Johnny Mckinstry.
"Working under three foreign coaches has given me the experience and knowledge to be in this position," Keister told the BBC on Thursday.
"My appointment is a dream come true. We have a massive task to qualify for the Afcon finals."
Johansen congratulated Keister but warned him that the aspirations of seven million Sierra Leoneans lie on his shoulders.
Keister had previously served as head coach of the Leone Stars home based team as well as the Sierra Leone under-17 and under-23 national teams.
The former Leone Stars midfielder was born in Manchester and played for several lower league clubs in England, including Walsall, Chester City, Shrewsbury Town and Stevenage Borough.
He was capped 16 times by Sierra Leone between 1997 and 2003.
The striker became Liverpool's youngest scorer at 17 years and 45 days in their 2-0 win over Leeds United on Tuesday.
Ex-Wales defender Andy Legg says they must cap Woodburn "as soon as possible".
"You've got to jump in there whether you're Chris Coleman or you're Southgate," said Evans.
"You've got to jump on these players when they become available and you think they're going to be good enough.
"So it'll be a little war between the two countries, I think, over this young lad because he is full of talent."
Woodburn's goal helped Liverpool reach the EFL Cup semi-finals on Tuesday.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp hopes to protect the 17-year-old from media hype.
Legg, who played for Cardiff City and Swansea, said Wales fans would "love to see him now get a Welsh shirt on".
Woodburn made his senior debut for the Reds in Saturday's Premier League win over Sunderland.
Three days later, he broke Michael Owen's Liverpool scoring record by 98 days, as the former England striker watched at Anfield.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Woodburn, then 16, scored in an impressive display during a pre-season win over Wigan.
He has played for Wales at under-16, under-17 and under-19 level and although still eligible to play for England, Woodburn has said he wants to "replicate" the feats of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey.
That is a point Legg emphasised, telling BBC Radio Wales: "He could probably see a pathway and is thinking 'hang on a minute, I could be a part of the Aaron Ramseys, the Gareth Bales who came through from years ago'.
"And he could be the next generation as a superstar.
"So he may think that Wales is his best option anyway, and as a youngster he's got to be guided and we just need to get an arm around him and make sure we guide him the right way."
Wales manager Chris Coleman's next chance to cap the Chester-born player is on 24 March, when Wales travel to Dublin to face the Republic of Ireland in a 2018 World Cup qualifier.
England play a friendly against Germany two days earlier.
The cancer hospital in Withington has been rated as "outstanding" by the Care Quality Commission.
It is the largest single-site cancer centre in Europe and treats more than 44,000 patients per year.
Chief executive Roger Spencer paid tribute to the "dedicated, expert staff" and "outstanding research".
The health watchdog commended the "friendly and open culture" and investment in "the latest technology" following its inspection in May.
The Christie NHS Foundation Trust is "helping to shape the future of cancer care", chief inspector of hospitals Professor Sir Mike Richards said.
"Our inspectors were struck by the commitment to excellence that filters through every area of the trust."
The report said the surgical division "demonstrated a robust approach" offering "bespoke" treatments, which "improved survival rates" and "quality of life".
Mr Spencer said he was "delighted and very proud", adding "it is the culture of The Christie to relentlessly pursue innovations".
The Christie is the third specialist hospital trust in the country to receive the CQC's highest rating alongside The Walton Centre in Liverpool and Liverpool's Heart and Chest Hospital.
Recurrent attacks up to 3 November flooded the cable link with data, making net access intermittent.
Researchers said the attacks showed hackers trying different ways to use massive networks of hijacked machines to overwhelm high-value targets.
Experts said Liberia was attacked by the same group that caused web-wide disruption on 21 October.
Those attacks were among the biggest ever seen and made it hard to reach big web firms such as Twitter, Spotify and Reddit.
The attacks were the first to send overwhelming amounts of data from weakly protected devices, such as webcams and digital video recorders, that had been enrolled into what is known as a botnet.
A botnet variant called Mirai was identified by security firms as being the tool used to find and compromise the insecure devices.
The source code for Mirai has been widely shared and many malicious hacker groups have used it to seek out vulnerable devices they can take over and use to mount what are known as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
"There're multiple different botnets, each with a different owner," security researcher Kevin Beaumont told the BBC. "Many are very low-skilled. Some are much better."
'This feels serious' - BBC Africa's Jonathan Paye-Layleh in Liberia
For more than two weeks, my internet has not been working properly. At first I thought it was a problem with my internet provider, which often suffers from slow speeds. But this feels more serious.
Even when you do get online, the connection repeatedly cuts out. I've spent the past week trying to upload some photos and audio to send to London, without success.
A woman who runs a computer club for young people in the capital, Monrovia, tells me that they have been having trouble getting on to Facebook and that their connection has slowed in recent weeks.
The hotel I am staying at in the north-eastern town of Ganta is right next to the network tower of a company that provides my internet service, but the connection is still coming in and out.
The hackers behind the "huge" network that attacked Liberia, dubbed botnet#14, were "much more skilled", Mr Beaumont said.
"The attacks are extremely worrying because they suggest a Mirai operator who has enough capacity to seriously impact systems in a nation state," he wrote in a blogpost.
Network firm Level 3 confirmed to tech news site ZDNet that it had seen attacks on telecoms firms in Liberia making access to the web spotty. Other reports suggested mobile net access was affected too.
The attacks varied in length with some lasting only 30 seconds and the longest being sustained for a few minutes. At times the amount of data being funnelled towards Liberia exceeded 600 gigabits per second.
Net access in Liberia comes via an undersea cable whose capacity is shared with many other nations in West Africa.
"They're trying a number of different techniques for short bursts, against the companies who own the submarine cable to Liberia," said Mr Beaumont, adding that commands to botnet#14 seemed to originate in the Ukraine.
Mr Beaumont said the controllers of botnet#14 were refining their control of the attack system but it was not yet clear who it would be turned against next.
A Twitter account, called #Miraiattacks has been set up by a security company to monitor the many different attack targets hit by Mirai botnets. Earlier targets included computer security firms, schools, food-ordering services and gaming sites.
Jacob Miller claimed a hat-trick, while skipper Danny Kirmond and prop Nick Scruton got two each as Wigan suffered their worst defeat in 11 years.
Wingers Tom Johnstone and Ben Jones-Bishop and full-back Max Jowitt all crossed too as Trinity scored 11 tries.
Scrum-half Liam Finn also grabbed a second-half try to supplement his nine conversions for a 22-point haul.
After a week in which a virus has affected a number of players, second-placed Wigan were also without injured captain Sean O'Loughlin, as well as most of their big hitters.
Michael McIlorum is out for the season with a broken ankle, John Bateman did not make his expected return following concussion, Liam Farrell was suspended, Dom Manfredi and Dom Crosby were also missing and Sam Tomkins is yet to reappear since his winter return from New Zealand.
Wigan handed debuts to Jack Wells and Joe Bretherton and had two other youngsters, Jack Higginson and Nick Gregson, making only their second full Super League appearances, and the inexperience showed.
It was Wigan's heaviest Super League loss since going down 70-0 to Leeds in June 2005, eight days before the club's all-time heaviest defeat, 75-0 to St Helens in the Challenge Cup.
The Wildcats' 11-try romp comfortably surpassed their previous best Super League win over the Warriors, a 40-14 success in April 2006.
After being bottom of the table when Wakefield coach Chris Chester took over last month, their winning run has coincided with the return of skipper Kirmond, who came into his own with two tries in six second-half minutes.
Wakefield were simply irresistible as they showed no mercy to a Wigan side lacking a total of 10 front-line players - and even had two early tries disallowed, for loose forward Michael Sio and Jowitt, who lost the ball over the line in being tackled by Joel Tomkins.
Victory came almost 12 months to the day since they themselves suffered a humiliating defeat, 80-0 at Warrington - and they left the field to a standing ovation from the jubilant Belle Vue faithful.
Wakefield coach Chris Chester:
"I thought it was going to be hell of a lot closer. I know they've been struggling with injuries and they've had a bug go through the camp but I certainly wasn't expecting that scoreline.
"It just shows what a little bit of belief does to a group of players. From 1 to 17, they were outstanding. What pleased me was what they did without the ball.
"We scored some really fancy tries but to keep a Wigan side to zero points takes a special effort. That's probably the best team performance there's been in a long time in Super League.
"What we did was exceptional and I'm proud of everybody involved. They are starting to believe in themselves a bit more. It's been a good few weeks. But we need to make sure we're grounded."
Wigan coach Shaun Wane:
"I'm not stressed one little bit. I know what we have and where we're at. I loved the fact that so many Wigan fans stayed behind to clap the players because I'm sure they know the situation we're in.
"I don't want to take anything away from Wakefield. Let them enjoy their day and, if they want to book their coaches to London, let them book them.

But Michael Fallon said no action would be taken without a Commons vote.
The UK does not need the backing of MPs to launch raids but Mr Fallon has said they will have the final say.
Labour has indicated it would not oppose military action in Syria as it did in 2013.
The party's acting leader Harriet Harman said Islamic State had to be "stopped" and Labour would look "very seriously" at any proposals brought forward by the government.
She said the situation was the different from that in 2013, when Labour voted against air strikes in Syria, because IS was a terrorist organisation, while President Assad was the head of a government, albeit a "terrible regime".
Labour had been concerned about "what would fill the space" if the Syrian president had been toppled, added Ms Harman.
She suggested terrorist attacks, such as Friday's tourist murders in Tunisia, may have been planned by IS in Syria - a point also made by Michael Fallon.
Thirty of the 38 tourists killed on the beach in Sousse on 26 June have been confirmed as British. Student Seifeddine Rezgui, 23, said to have had links to IS, was shot dead by police after carrying out the attack.
Michael Fallon was dipping the government's toe in the Opposition's water.
The defence secretary has long believed it is not logical to limit air strikes to Iraq when the terrorists do not respect, or even recognise, borders.
But he stressed that the government would only widen the RAF's operations to Syria if he could gain "some consensus" in Parliament.
So while any air strikes in Syria would be unlikely to go ahead until a new Labour leader is in place in September, Mr Fallon would be encouraged to hear acting leader Harriet Harman and shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker say they would consider any proposals seriously.
Their support is important, because David Cameron would not risk going down to defeat as he did over the separate issue of air strikes against the Assad regime in 2013.
But there were other signs that a consensus could be difficult to achieve.
Some Conservative backbenchers raised doubts about further military action in the absence of a wider diplomatic strategy. Others had legal concerns.
And former SNP leader Alex Salmond - now the party's international affairs spokesman - denounced previous military interventions in Islamic countries and said he was "sceptical" about any future ones.
Mr Fallon told MPs a "full spectrum response" was needed to deal with IS at its source.
"We will not bring a motion to this house on which there is not some consensus.
"Our position therefore remains that we would return to this house before conducting air strikes in Syria."
BBC political editor Nick Robinson said Mr Fallon's comments were not a call for imminent action, but were "preparing the ground" or "pitch rolling" for a change in approach.
Prime Minister David Cameron later said IS posed "an existential threat" to the West, and its members in Iraq and Syria were plotting "terrible attacks" on British soil.
Downing Street said Mr Cameron believed MPs should be thinking about whether UK forces should be doing more to tackle IS.
But Mr Cameron's official spokeswoman said the issue of further military action needed to be considered "properly and carefully" before any decision was taken to ask MPs to back any specific action.
She said Britain was already flying surveillance and air-to-air re-fuelling operations over Syria.
Mr Cameron was defeated in the Commons in 2013 when Tory rebels joined forces with Labour to oppose air strikes on Syrian government targets designed to deter the use of chemical weapons.
The 2013 vote focused on the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, not IS militants.
Parliament approved UK bombing of militant positions in Iraq last year. However, MPs were not asked at the time to authorise strikes across the border in Syria.
The Iraqi government requested allied military support in its fight against Islamist militants but the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad, whose country is in the throes of a four-year civil war, has not made a similar request.
The SNP's John Nicolson said he would be "very sceptical" about any intervention.
Conservative MP Crispin Blunt, who chairs the Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee, said he would want to know whether any intervention would be a "battle-winning decision".
What was "frustrating" was that the debate around military action in Syria "is not going to make any difference to the outcome", he said, adding that diplomatic activity and getting regional powers together were key to finding a solution.
The bodies of nine more of the British tourists shot dead in the Tunisia beach attack have arrived back in the UK at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
On Wednesday the coffins of relatives Adrian Evans, Charles (known as Patrick) Evans and Joel Richards, as well as Carly Lovett, Stephen Mellor, John Stollery, Denis Thwaites and Elaine Thwaites, were flown from Tunis on an RAF C17 and taken off the plane one by one.
The repatriation of all the bodies is likely to take several days.
Downing Street has ruled out an inquiry into the attack, but said Scotland Yard would assist the Tunisian investigation.
A minute's silence will be observed across the country at noon on Friday in memory of the victims, and matches at Wimbledon will start later so players, spectators and staff can take part.

Police said they were treating the "serious assault" on the 28-year-old as attempted murder.
He was found in Glentyan Drive in the Pollok area following a report to police at about 17:15 on Wednesday.
The man was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where his condition is described as stable but critical.
Officers are carrying out door-to-door inquiries in the area and gathering CCTV footage as part of their investigation.
Det Sgt Dougie Stevenson said: "From the man's injuries, it's clear the man has been seriously assaulted, however at this stage we don't know why the man was targeted.
"We are in the process of piecing together the circumstances of the attack and I am appealing to people living in the area for their assistance. Can you think back to the time of the incident and consider if you saw or heard anything.
"Perhaps, you heard a disturbance, some shouting, anything which seemed a little odd. If you have any information, then please do contact us and pass it on."
On top of that request by one shareholder, another urged Johnston to resign, suggesting he was a barrier to improving the club's position.
The requests were noted but deemed not permissible at the AGM.
Shareholders were told they would have to call an extraordinary general meeting to have them considered.
Kilmarnock lie second bottom of the Scottish Premiership and are favourites to face a play-off to avoid relegation.
They have also announced a £725,000 loss for the financial year to 30 May 2015.
The meeting marked the end of Jim Mann's reign as chairman, the businessman having succeeded Johnston in the role.
Mann, who had previously cited health, travel and business reasons for his decision, had not been expecting his last duty to be presiding over such a hostile affair.
"In some ways, I'm pleased I won't be repeating what was a bumpy AGM in a number of different ways," he told BBC Scotland.
"But there were a number of issues that were raised from the floor that the club's going to have to take away and deal with."
When asked if he expected the disgruntled shareholders to pursue the matter, Mann added: "Who can tell? That's down to someone to raise a grievance and send in a document asking for an EGM to discuss it.
"So I'll leave that to the people who were here and whoever is on the board in the future to deal with."
The meeting, which lasted more than two hours in the Park Hotel, was attended by 500 shareholders.
Manager Lee Clark was well received when he handled a question and answer session about the footballing side of the club.
His message to his audience as he left the meeting early to take charge of training was: "Don't give up - we'll keep fighting!"
However, a presentation of the accounts by the club's new head of finance, Jim Millar, who was not in position during the previous financial year, did not go down well.
That prompted Johnston to step in to try to clarify matters, but that led to shareholders questioning his position at the club.
John Gall, managing director of Brownings Bakery, which is locked in a dispute with the club over the naming rights to "The Killie Pie", also took the opportunity, as an attending shareholder, to lambast Johnston's tenure from the floor of the meeting.
Director Billy Bowie, whose funding has been a major support to the club, said he was not going to ignore the shareholders' concerns.
He was applauded when he confirmed the board will hold a revue and get back to them.
UK holidaymakers in the EU benefit from caps on the cost of making calls, sending texts and downloading data.
However, watchdog Consumer Focus is warning that such limits to not apply to those travelling further afield.
Football fans uploading 10 photos at a game could be charged up to £80.
Using a phone in the UK to connect to the internet usually has no effect on the bill as most home tariffs include unlimited downloads.
But, taking a smartphone, such as an iPhone, on your travels can have expensive consequences.
The watchdog said that the cost of using mobile internet - increasingly popular as people visit social networking sites on smartphones - can be up to £8 for every megabyte downloaded. That is the equivalent of sending one e-mail with a photo attachment.
Charges to make calls ranged from 80p to £1.50 a minute, and texts cost from 25p to 50p, Consumer Focus said.
"England fans need to be on the ball to make sure they do not get caught out by hundreds of pounds of hidden mobile phone costs at the World Cup," said Nick Hutton, of Consumer Focus.
"We want to see mobile phone firms play fair by customers travelling abroad and cut these extremely high fees.
"In the meantime consumers should check their network rates before they fly and look into the add-ons or bundles on offer, which could save them much needed cash."
Holidaymakers travelling in the EU have a maximum tariff of 43 cents (37p) a minute when making a call, 19 cents (16p) a minute when receiving a call, 11 cents (9p) a minute to send a text, and, from July, 50 euros (£42.50) for data roaming - unless an alternative limit is set.
Users receive a warning when they are approaching 80% of their limit, and are cut off once the limit is reached.
Consumer groups want the limits to be extended to the rest of the world.
Matthew Wheeler, of price comparison website Uswitch, said travellers should do their homework before leaving, if they intended to use their mobile. Tips included:
"While some networks are offering special deals, roaming abroad is still far from cheap," he said.
Financial information service Moneyfacts also warned travellers to take care when changing money for a trip.
Exchange rates can be high at airports, as can some services overseas. Commission-free changing can have worse exchange rates.
Credit card providers often charge for the purchases and cash transactions every time a card is used.
The same might be true of debit card usage, and some charge a fee to take money out of a cash machine - unlike in the UK.
"Customers taking out cash need to be aware of minimum charges. If you withdraw lots of small amounts you will be hardest hit, so it may be worth planning a few days ahead for your financial requirements," said Michelle Slade, of Moneyfacts.
Reports described Smita Panvalkar, a homemaker, who lived with her husband, son and brother in the first floor of the building as a "gritty woman who stands between Donald Trump, easily the world's most glamorous real estate developer, and his first project in India".
In 2011, the real estate tycoon had teamed up with a local developer to construct a 65-storey Trump Tower - India's first - containing some 50 ultra-luxury apartments in an upscale neighbourhood.
In a land-starved island city with steeply priced real estate, most new construction is done after tearing down old buildings and compensating and re-housing the original tenants.
The fate of the four-storey Pathare Prabhu Building in which the Panvalkars lived since 1990, turned out to be no different. There were 25 other tenants who lived in poky fixed-rent apartments in the building in the posh south Mumbai neighbourhood of Chowpatty, not far away from one of the city's bustling beaches.
"We lived a simple life. Our life was fairly eventless until 2011," says Prasad Panvalkar. He paid a paltry rent of 185 rupees($2.7; £2.24) a month for his first floor, three-room, 560 sq ft apartment.
Sometime before this, news washed up in the city's real estate circles that Mr Trump was looking to launch a project in India. A well-known local developer, Rohan Lifescapes, swiftly moved in.
"We met him in New York and had four meetings. He showed interest in India and we briefed him on prospects in Mumbai. He even invited us to the shooting of [the reality show] The Apprentice at the Trump Tower," Harresh Mehta, chairman of Rohan Lifescapes, told me.
It didn't take much time for the tycoon and the developer to forge an agreement to build India's first Trump Tower in Mumbai: a gleaming, state-of-the-art 65-storey high-rise with about 50 apartments on a plot of more than 2,000 sq m. The local developer had acquired two neighbouring buildings in adjacent plots - including the one in which Mr Panvalkar lived - for building the tower. Launch prices were set between 40,000 and 50,000 rupees ($600-$750; £488-£610) per sq ft.
"It was a branding agreement. In exchange for royalties, we would use the Trump brand name. He wasn't investing any money. Trump is a famous name, and the branding would have helped in the appreciation of price," said Mr Mehta.
Back in the decaying building, the tenants had been informed in 2004 that the building would be "redeveloped". The majority of tenants had apparently consented to the move.
"But nothing happened until 2010. Then the developers came and informed us to vacate the building so that they could develop it."
Mr Panvalkar told me that his wife took the lead and flatly refused to move out.
"The developers offered compensation money and asked us to leave. Smita told them we won't leave the building unless they gave us an apartment in the new building. Much later we learnt that the building was named after Donald Trump, the famous American tycoon," he said.
The local press quickly found a heroine of resistance. "Woman who won't let Donald Trump Mumbai," headlined Mumbai Mirror. The newspaper described her as the "gritty 54-year-old woman who stands between Donald Trump and his first project in India".
"One lady stands in the way of Trump Tower Mumbai," another headline cheered. Ms Panvalkar is a "tough nut to crack", reported yet another newspaper.
By January 2011, the Panvalkars were the last people living in the decaying building. The 25 other tenants had left. The pipes leaked, and grime and dust covered the stairwells. In May, a small fire, blamed on a short circuit, shut down electricity for 45 days.
There was a time, Mr Panvalkar said, when he felt that they should leave the building. Again, his wife stood in the way and refused to budge.
"We lived and slept in the flat in the sweltering humidity and heat. Smita was overworked, doing the chores," he said.
When darkness fell in their heaving city, she would make food in the candlelight, and the family would sleep early. Ms Panvalkar, who was a diabetic, told a reporter that she was going without her medicines because the refrigerator was not working.
Mr Mehta told me there was "no pressure to evict the Panvalkars". He said the majority of tenants of the building had already moved out. "They [Panvalkars] were difficult tenants, but they could not have stalled the project," he said.
For the next six years, up until this June, the Panvalkars refused to budge, thwarting the demolition of the building. The planned luxury tower, Mr Mehta told me, ran into further problems: approvals were delayed and there were "regulatory issues". The project also ran foul of some existing building laws.
In 2013, Mr Trump moved on. Mr Mehta said they terminated the licensing deal with the tycoon as the project was stalled. "We had lost time and we had an amicable parting."
Mr Trump went ahead and tied up with another leading builder, Lodha Group, to build his branded tower.
Back at the building, life went on for its solitary occupants. Then tragedy struck. Last November, Ms Panvalkar died after suffering from a massive heart attack. "She had suffered from a lot of stress. She had diabetes and high blood pressure," Mr Panvalkar said.
"She was a quiet woman, but very determined. She was a fighter. I miss her a lot."
Smita Panvalkar had also put family before career. A trained textile designer, she had done freelance work at Mumbai's dwindling textile mills. She had taught in a school. After marriage, she had stopped working to bring up a family, and fought fiercely to stay in her home.
Mr Panvalkar said he continued to stay in the building to "honour Smita's commitment". He had filed more than a dozen right to information applications, lived without electricity, resisted three eviction orders from civic authorities, and fought in the courts.
In April last year, the Panvalkar finally moved out after reaching an agreement with Rohan Lifescapes who are now building a 22-storey apartment on the plot, a joint venture with another builder. The developers, he says, have agreed to provide him a 12th storey flat in the building when it's ready.
Finally, Mumbai will also have a 75-storey luxury Trump Tower in the Upper Worli neighbourhood. It will have more than 400 apartments and a private jet facility. Deliveries will begin in 2018. A spokesperson of the group told me that 57% of the apartments, costing between $1.35m and $3.75m (£1.09m and £3.04m) had been already sold in advance.
'Your real estate is unbelievably cheap," Mr Trump famously said, when he finally visited Mumbai, one of the world's most expensive property markets, in 2014. He had also probably never heard of Ms Panvalkar.
A condition for the IMF loan is the completion of a planned debt swap.
The Caribbean nation must get private sector lenders to accept more lenient terms on its existing heavy debt load, equal to 140% of economic output.
The Jamaican government is also implementing spending cuts and labour market reforms as it seeks to deal with a serious economic crisis.
"Over the last three decades, the Jamaican economy has experienced very low economic growth, declining productivity, and reduced international competitiveness," said Jan Kees Martijn, the head of the IMF's mission to Jamaica.
"An important factor behind these problems has been Jamaica's unsustainable debt burden, which has undermined confidence and elevated risks to the economic stability."
The four-year loan still needs to be approved by the IMF's executive board, which is due to review the terms by the end of March.
By then, the government in Kingston will need to have carried out necessary economic and fiscal reforms, and to have won a "high rate of participation of private creditors" in the debt swap.
"If this debt is not reduced, Jamaica faces a dismal future," Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller said on Jamaican TV on Monday night, explaining the need for the swap.
About 55% of government spending goes towards paying the nation's debt, while 25% goes on wages. That leaves just 20% for everything else - including education, security and health.
The swap is likely to result in a significantly lower interest rate being paid by Jamaica to its lenders.
The relatively high current interest rate reflects the low expectations of lenders that the government will ever be able to repay its existing debts in full.
Lenders have already been hit once - it is the second such debt swap by Jamaica in three years.
Mr Poroshenko's warning is widely seen as an indirect reference to Russia.
Ukraine and the West accuse Russia of helping the rebels with weapons and soldiers - a claim denied by Moscow.
Ukraine's military said on Friday that three soldiers had been killed in the past 24 hours despite the truce.
Another seven soldiers were wounded, Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said at a news briefing.
That followed 48 hours during which the Ukrainian military said it had suffered no deaths, boosting hopes that the ceasefire might hold.
Both Ukraine and the rebels say they are now withdrawing their heavy weapons from the front line under the terms of the ceasefire agreed in Minsk, Belarus.
The process is yet to be officially confirmed by international monitors from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
The ceasefire came into effect on 15 February but the rebels seized the key town of Debaltseve just days later.
Fighting began in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions - known as Donbas - in April, a month after Russia annexed the Crimea peninsula.
Almost 5,800 people have died since then, the UN has estimated, while at least 1.25 million have fled their homes since the conflict began.
In other developments on Friday:
Speaking at Ukraine's National Defence University in Kiev on Friday, Mr Poroshenko said: "Even under the most optimistic scenario in Donbas... the military threat from the east would unfortunately remain."
He said this would require Ukraine to constantly strengthen the country's defensive capabilities.
The president also said the rebels were still violating the Minsk agreement, warning that the Ukrainian military was "ready any time" to bring back heavy weapons to the front line if the deal failed.
On Thursday, Ukraine said it began the pullout of 100mm calibre artillery from the front line, after none of its soldiers were killed for two days.
The separatist rebels in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic say they have pulled out hundreds of pieces of artillery and other weapons over the past several days.
Associated Press journalists witnessed rebels moving four Grad rocket launchers back to a location 70km (44 miles) from the front on Friday.
AP reporters also saw Ukrainian troops pulling back 100mm anti-tank guns from the front line near the town of Artemivsk.
The OSCE special monitoring mission has said it has observed movement of trucks and howitzers in several rebel-held areas.
Under terms agreed in Minsk, both Ukraine's government forces and the rebels must pull out their heavy weapons, creating a buffer zone of at least 50km.
The Ukrainian government, Western leaders and Nato say there is clear evidence that Russia is helping the rebels with heavy weapons and soldiers.
Independent experts echo that accusation while Moscow denies it, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are "volunteers".
The CMA is concerned that the games, which it has not named, may encourage children to make in-game purchases.
The topic is high on government agendas after a series of cases where children spent thousands of pounds on online or app-based games.
The European Commission had also asked Apple and Google to address the issue.
Both agreed to strengthen payment authorisation and stop manufacturers describing games as "free" if they contain in-game or in-app purchases.
The CMA's senior director, Nisha Arora, said she wanted the ASA to consider whether the games breached advertising codes.
She said: "75% of 10- to 15-year-olds in the UK play video games every day, so it's clear that they are a significant part of children's lives.
"We have seen some positive changes in business practices since we started looking at this sector.
"However, we are concerned that some games may directly encourage children to buy extra features during the game."
The ASA said it welcomed the referral.
"It's crucial that the ads children see, hear and interact with don't confuse, mislead or directly exhort them to make purchases," Miles Lockwood, ASA director of investigations, said.
The CMA has also published advice for parents about what to look out for when their children are downloading and playing online and app-based games.

The Irish RFU were keen to retain the services of the 49-year-old after back-to-back Six Nations Championship wins.
Ireland would probably have preferred to tie Schmidt into a longer deal, knowing his record with Leinster and Ireland makes him a man in demand.
"I am looking forward to the next two challenging years with the national team," said Schmidt.
"It has been great to be involved in such a player-driven environment, along with such a skilled and positive staff, to support them in their quest to be as competitive as possible."

Schmidt guided Leinster to two Heineken Cup triumphs, two Pro12 titles and a European Challenge Cup success during his three seasons with the province.
After taking over from Declan Kidney in the summer of 2013, he led Ireland to the Six Nations Championship during his first 12 months in charge and his team retained that title in 2015 following a successful autumn campaign which included wins over South Africa and Australia.
Overall, Ireland have won 16 of the 20 Tests they have played under Schmidt.

"Outside of his national team duties, Joe has contributed to the development of indigenous coaches across the provincial and under-age structures, as well as having a positive input into the Ireland Under-20 and women's squads."
In the tweets Mr Musk appealed for "hardcore software engineers" to work on the firm's Autopilot software.
Mr Musk says he will be interviewing candidates personally.
Separately, Tesla announced a recall of all 90,000 Model S cars sold globally after a report of a faulty seatbelt.
Shares in the company fell 2.6% on the Nasdaq index following the announcement.
Successful engineering candidates will report directly to Mr Musk as the project is "super high priority".
Coders need not have prior experience with cars, he tweeted.
The Autopilot software is designed to let the Model S and Model X Tesla cars automatically steer, change lanes, and adjust speed in response to traffic.
"Ramping up the Autopilot software team at Tesla to achieve generalised full autonomy," he said.
Unlike Google, which wants fully-autonomous vehicles, Tesla wants to introduce features which take away the need for drivers to perform certain actions.
The firm's Autopilot software uses a combination of cameras, radar, sensors and mapping data to found out where it is and navigate.
When the car arrives at its destination, it can scan for a space and park itself.
Car makers including BMW and Volvo are also developing autonomous features for their cars.

BBC Wales Sport has learned that Manga has attracted interest from Turkish club Bursaspor.
There is now more optimism at the club that the 28-year-old may choose to remain in the Welsh capital despite being offered a deal on reduced terms.
Manga joined Cardiff from French club L'Orient in September 2014 for a fee of almost £5m.
Though he has had his fitness problems - including a bout of malaria - while at Cardiff, he has been a defensive mainstay.
It had been thought that after being asked to take a pay cut Manga would most likely choose to leave Cardiff.
Indeed Bluebirds' boss, Neil Warnock, admitted recently he already had a replacement lined up for Manga.
But after further talks in the last few days, there is now more optimism he will stay with negotiations set to continue this week.
If Manga remains, he would provide a major boost to manager Neil Warnock as he revamps his Championship squad for next season.
On Friday, Cardiff announced striker Kenneth Zohore had agreed a new deal with the Bluebirds to remain with the club until 2020.
Stalwart midfielder Peter Whittingham is still mulling over his options having also been asked to take a pay cut to stay.
The authority was offering £3m to help local firms struggling with a rise in their payments.
However, it was conditional on the Scottish government committed to spending the same amount.
Mr Mackay said an extra £7.5m had already been committed to companies in the city.
Why are business rates causing concern?
Business rates - what do they pay?
Rateable values are changing for the first time since 2010 after a national revaluation by The Scottish Assessors' Association.
Businesses in the north east have complained that they are being hit particularly hard because the valuations predated the slump in the price of oil which had an impact on the local economy.
Paul Wilson, 38, suffered a severe anaphylactic shock in January 2014 after eating a takeaway from the Indian Garden in Easingwold, North Yorkshire.
Mohammed Zaman, 52, of Aylesham Court, Huntington, denies manslaughter.
The restaurant boss "cut corners at every turn", Teesside Crown Court heard.
When Mr Wilson ordered a takeaway meal from the restaurant, he had made it clear it must be nut-free, the jury heard.
The court was told "no nuts" was written on the order chit and on the lid of the curry he took to his home in Helperby, near Thirsk.
He was found dead later the same evening.
The jury heard Mr Zaman took a "reckless and cavalier attitude to risk" at the restaurants he owned.
Richard Wright QC, prosecuting, told the court Mr Zaman had swapped from using almond powder to the cheaper groundnut powder, containing peanuts, in June 2013.
Despite a warning from his supplier, the prosecutor said, the restaurateur did not warn customers he was using peanut ingredients.
A week before Mr Wilson's death, Mr Wright said, a trading standards officer found evidence of peanuts in another meal which was said to have been peanut-free, and discovered a box labelled blanched ground peanut in the kitchen of Mr Zaman's Jaipur Spice restaurant in Easingwold.
The officer told staff all customers must be informed chefs were using peanuts, the court heard.
"Mohammed Zaman received numerous warnings that he was putting his customers' health, and potentially their lives, at risk," Mr Wright said.
"Tragically for Paul Wilson, Mohammed Zaman took none of those opportunities and ignored all of the warnings he was given."
The prosecution said the restaurateur knew the food he served "posed a serious health risk".
Mr Wright said: "Time and again he ignored the danger and did not protect his customers."
Mr Zaman has also pleaded not guilty to perverting the course of justice by forging a food safety training certificate, an immigration offence relating to the employee who served the contaminated meal, and food safety offences.
The possible grounds for an appeal is understood to be a claim that Carrick Rangers manager Gary Haveron should not have been in his club's dugout for the win over Dungannon Swifts on 23 April.
Haveron was handed a three-match ban but it is claimed one of the games should have included the Swifts match.
There is a suggestion Haveron sat out a game when he wasn't actually banned.
Irish FA rules state that the sanction for a player or manager failing to serve a ban is a minimum £350 fine for the club concerned and the forfeiting of the match on a 3-0 scoreline.
If Carrick's win over Dungannon was overturned, they would drop to the automatic relegation spot while it would leave Warrenpoint Town in the promotion-relegation play-off spot.
The situation is complicated by that fact that the first leg of the promotion-relegation play-off between Ballinamallard United and Institute took place on Friday night with the Fermanagh club earning a 2-1 win over Institute at Drumahoe.
Warrenpoint were left furious by their relegation on the final day of the season after a highly contentious injury-time penalty led to Dungannon snatching a 1-1 draw which meant that the county Down club dropped to bottom spot.
A Warrenpoint victory in that game would maintained their Premiership status.
Carrick, who started the final day bottom of the table, avoided the drop as they scored two late goals to beat Ballinamallard United 2-1.
And almost one in five is from a country in the European Union.
University leaders have been concerned that Brexit will make it harder to recruit and retain staff from the EU and around the world.
There has also been a "significant reduction" in overseas students in the latest migration figures.
Universities have warned that they depend on being able to recruit highly-mobile international staff and students - and these latest figures show the extent to which they could be affected by changes in immigration rules.
The analysis of academic staff shows that 29% are from outside the UK - and in some areas, such as engineering and technology, non-UK academics account for 42% of staff.
In maths, physics and biology, 38% of staff are non-UK, with most of these from EU countries.
When the education select committee took evidence from universities about the likely impact of Brexit, they heard fears that talented and sought-after mathematicians from the EU could move elsewhere.
Prof Catherine Barnard, from the University of Cambridge, told MPs that her own university had seen a 14% drop in applications this year from EU students - and warned of the risk of a perceived "anti-immigrant sentiment".
In the humanities, 35% of academic staff are from overseas, most of them from EU countries, according to the Statistics Agency figures.
There was also evidence of a downturn in overseas students coming to the UK, in figures published by the Office for National Statistics.
There was a fall of 41,000 recorded - with the decline mostly among students from Asia.
China accounts for the biggest number of overseas students coming to the UK - followed by the United States and India.
"There has been a statistically significant decrease in non-EU long-term students immigrating to the UK while a small increase was seen in the number of study visas issued," said Nicola White, head of International Migration Statistics at the ONS.
But there were also questions about how student migration is measured and how students leaving the UK after their studies might be accurately counted.
The ONS is planning to investigate this "significant challenge" and to introduce a new online student survey.
University leaders have campaigned to remove students from net migration targets - and have warned of the financial risks if overseas students are deterred.
Alistair Jarvis, deputy chief executive of Universities UK, said much of the success of UK universities depended on the "ability to attract talented staff from around the world".
"The government must ensure that the UK is welcoming to EU and international staff and that we can continue to access valuable and collaborative European research networks."
Universities Minister Jo Johnson, writing to the higher education funding council, said: "Overseas students and staff, including those from the EU, make a crucial contribution to our universities and we want that to continue."
The MEPs' non-binding vote has already been dismissed as "worthless" by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The MEPs asked the European Commission and 28 national governments to impose a "temporary freeze" on the talks.
EU-Turkish ties have soured after years of stop-start negotiations, which are likely to go on, albeit very slowly.
Turkey's EU accession talks began in 2005, but only one of the 35 policy areas - called "chapters" - has been closed. A country is only ready to join the EU when it has met the criteria in all 35 chapters.
Is it all over for Turkey and the EU?

Turkey country profile
MEPs say Thursday's non-binding resolution aims to send a political message to President Erdogan. But it will fall on deaf ears, the BBC's Mark Lowen reports from Istanbul.
The resolution was passed by an overwhelming majority of MEPs, with 479 votes in favour and 37 against, with 107 abstentions.
After the coup attempt by mutinous Turkish military officers Mr Erdogan accused the EU of siding with "terrorism" rather than supporting his country.
MEPs are concerned about his crackdown on opponents. About 120,000 Turks have been dismissed or suspended from their public sector jobs, 40,000 arrested, scores of journalists rounded up and opposition pro-Kurdish MPs detained.
But Turkey is a key player in Europe's efforts to curb the influx of non-EU migrants and in containing the threat from Islamic State (IS) jihadists.
The EU's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said the vote would not yield positive results and urged engagement with Turkey.
The fear is that an increasingly anti-Western Mr Erdogan could jettison the EU-Turkey deal, struck in March, to stem the migrant flow to Europe.
European leaders are unlikely to adhere to the MEPs' vote, our correspondent says. But, he adds, for now nobody expects that Turkey's decades-long dream of EU accession will become a reality.
The MEPs' resolution said Turkey should remain "anchored" to the EU, and they pledged to review their position once the "disproportionate repressive measures" in Turkey were lifted.
"Turkey is an important partner of the EU," they said. "But in partnerships, the will to co-operate has to be two-sided... Turkey is not showing this political will as the government's actions are further diverting Turkey from its European path."
The 56-year-old was injured at Livingston police office on 8 August.
The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) has been instructed by the Crown Office to look into the circumstances.
It is understood the man was not seriously injured.
A Pirc spokesman said: "The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) has instructed the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner to undertake an investigation in relation to the circumstances surrounding an incident in which a 56-year-old man sustained an injury at Livingston police office on 8 August.
"A report on the commissioner's findings will be submitted to the COPFS in due course."
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We will provide any necessary assistance to the Pirc and await the outcome of their report to COPFS."
Andras Lakatos and Jenone Orgona duped three women into travelling to the UK with the promise of legitimate jobs.
Their identity documents taken and were forced into sex work. One escaped and was offered help by Laszlo Petrovics, who forced her back into prostitution.
They admitted human trafficking and forcing prostitution offences and were jailed at Manchester Crown Court.
The victims, who were aged between 19 and 24, came from poor backgrounds and spoke little or no English, the court heard.
Lakatos and Orgona trafficked the women who were tricked into travelling to the north of England in December 2015.
Two of the women had up to 10 customers every day, while a third was ordered to have sex with men at car washes.
When one of the women managed to escape, she was later offered of a place of safety by Laszlo Petrovics, only to be forced straight back into prostitution.
The women saw none of the money themselves, while Lakatos and Petrovics spent cash on alcohol, gambling and drugs.
Karen Tonge, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said the victims were "degraded and dehumanised" and regularly threatened with violence.
"Lakatos convinced two of the women that he was in a romantic relationship with them in order to manipulate them," she said.
"The impact upon these victims cannot be underestimated. All three have shown immense courage."
Det Con Adam Cronshaw of Greater Manchester Police, said: "These young women were dehumanised by these narcissistic and controlling offenders who were only interested in greed.
"However, now they are behind bars these brave women can enjoy their lives again."
The Department of Health statistics show that 288 people waited more than 12 hours for a bed, compared with 125 in November 2014.
The figures vary widely between hospitals in Northern Ireland.
At the Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) in Belfast, figures improved significantly.
Only three people were recorded as waiting more than 12 hours, compared with 79 the year before.
However, the numbers show that Antrim Area Hospital's waiting times have deteriorated, from 13 last year to 170 in 2015.
At the Ulster Hospital in Belfast, numbers jumped from three in 2014, to 93 last month.
The total number of patients attending hospitals has also increased, rising from 55,000 in November 2014 to 60,000 this year.

The Health and Social Care Board said it was working with the trusts to provide better emergency care services over winter.
The board said it has invested more than £10m pounds to improve patient flow, as well as the development of minor injury streams in all emergency departments in Northern Ireland.
It said that while it was unacceptable that anyone had to wait more than 12 hours, steady progress had been made to reduce waiting times since 2011/12 when over 10,000 people waited more than 12 hours.
The board added that individual trusts, including the Belfast trust, had made improvements to waiting times.
Patients waiting over 12 hours at emergency departments
The man, who was in his 20s, died after the crash on the B9039 at Ardersier at about 08:00.
Another man and a woman were injured in the incident, which involved a Citroen Picasso and a Honda CR-V.
They were taken to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness for treatment. Police Scotland appealed for anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
Clarence House said the move would "only inhibit" the prince's ability to express concerns.
In one letter to the prime minister, the prince said the armed forces were being asked to do a challenging job "without the necessary resources".
Release of the letters follows a decade-long campaign by the Guardian.
The 27 letters to seven government departments on wide-ranging subjects, including the dominance of supermarkets, badger culling and the herbal medicine sector, were written between September 2004 and April 2005.
A government veto on publication was declared unlawful by the Court of Appeal last year - a decision which was upheld by the Supreme Court in March.
In one letter to the prime minister from September 2004, the prince expressed concern that the Army Air Corps' ability to deploy equipment was being "frustrated by the poor performance of the existing Lynx aircraft in high temperatures".
"I fear that this is just one more example of where our Armed Forces are being asked to do an extremely challenging job (particularly in Iraq) without the necessary resources," he wrote.
The then Prime Minister Tony Blair replied a month later saying he found the prince's letter "constructive and thought provoking" and that the limitations of the existing Lynx helicopters were recognised by the Ministry of Defence.
In February 2005, Prince Charles wrote a letter to Mr Blair in which he said the "dominant position" of retailers was the "single biggest issue affecting British farmers and the food chain".
In response, Mr Blair said: "I have on occasion expressed precisely the concern about retailers' 'arm lock' on suppliers that you express so well. I know too that after something of an improvement things have recently got worse.
"As you may be aware (and this was the main reason why I have delayed writing until now) the OFT issued its report on this subject on Tuesday."
BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt
This is the briefest of glimpses of Charles, the lobbying prince.
And lobbying on an eye-watering range of subjects - historic buildings, herbal medicine, the albatross, healthy food and sustainable fishing.
It's a wonder the heir to the throne has time to sleep.
Royal officials insist he has done nothing inappropriate and at no stage, in any of the correspondence, did he stray into party political matters.
These letters have resonance and relevance because of his proximity to the throne.
Charles's challenge is that their content will not generate a unified response to the activities of a prince who'll one day occupy the unifying role of head of state.
His critics will accuse him of secret meddling.
His supporters insist he cares about the issues he raises and he is only doing his duty.
In the same letter, the prince said the rising number of tuberculosis (TB) cases in cattle was a "most pressing and urgent problem", which had been "caused and spread" by badgers.
He wrote: "I do urge you to look again at introducing a proper cull of badgers where it is necessary.
"I, for one, cannot understand how the 'badger lobby' seem to mind not at all about the slaughter of thousands of expensive cattle, and yet object to a managed cull of an over-population of badgers - to me, this is intellectually dishonest."
Prince Charles went on to write that an EU directive banning hundreds of traditional herbal remedies was "using a sledgehammer to crack a nut".
He offered "a more detailed briefing" from his advisers.
In reply, Mr Blair thanked the prince for his "contacts... who have been sensible and constructive".
He said they were "absolutely correct" that implementation plans were "crazy".
In a 2005 letter to Tessa Jowell, then culture secretary, Prince Charles asked for "a bit of imaginative flexibility" on funding rules to help conservation efforts for historic Antarctic huts.
Conservative MP Michael Ellis told the BBC that the prince had the "right to counsel, to advise and to warn" and was "making gentle suggestions".
Colonel Richard Kemp, a former British commander in Afghanistan, said: "It is absolutely right that if he comes across problems and issues that concern him, he should bring them to the attention of the government.
"He put his finger on some grave deficiencies in the armed forces, particularly in Iraq at the time, where helicopters were unreliable and also there were too few helicopters."
Graham Smith, chief executive of anti-monarchy campaign group Republic, said the prince "does meddle".
He said the government had wanted the letters kept secret "so that we can carry on pretending he [the prince] is impartial".
"In fact they [members of the royal family] are busy trying to influence politicians… and that is not acceptable in a democratic society."
Catherine Mayer, who wrote a biography of Prince Charles, said: "There are a few areas where he is grappling directly with policy, which he is not supposed to be doing - most notably around the provision for soldiers in Iraq."
Former Environment Secretary Dame Margaret Beckett said: "I think what is unfortunate is that if he had known his letters were going to be published he might have... couched them in different terms. "
Guardian editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger said: "We fought this case because we believed - and the most senior judges in the country agreed - that the royal family should operate to the same degrees of transparency as anyone else trying to make their influence felt in public life."
Clarence House said the prince was raising issues of public concern, "trying to find practical ways to address the issues".
The prince carries out more than 600 engagements a year, which Clarence House said "gives him a unique perspective".
It added: "Sometimes this leads him to communicate his experience or, indeed, his concerns or suggestions to ministers, from all governments, of whatever party, either in meetings or in writing."
During a visit to a Prince's Trust charitable project in London, the prince was asked by a reporter if he was "worried" about the release of the documents.
"Very predictable," he replied, as his press secretary Kristina Kyriacou pushed away the microphone of Channel 4 News reporter Michael Crick.
Five councils do not have them, but 13 pray before the formal start so it is not classed as an agenda item.
The National Secular Society (NSS) said councils "shouldn't be clubs for Christians" but the Church in Wales said prayer or reflection "could be hugely beneficial".
Campaigners have already called for the practice to be abolished.
Despite this, no council has changed its position in 18 months and none have plans to do so.
Denbighshire is the only council to have a formal prayer at the start of full council meetings; 13 others say them before full council meetings commence, so atheists or those of other faiths do not have to attend.
Vale of Glamorgan re-introduced Christian prayers at the request of new mayor Janice Charles after her predecessor, Stuart Egan, had humanist blessings.
Cardiff said it had "representatives from different faiths" to lead prayers.
Five councils do not have prayers, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire allow the chairman to make the call and Wrexham said it was at the mayor's discretion.
Blaenau Gwent said it was the personal choice of the mayor, but it was "most often the case" a chaplain was appointed to lead prayers before full council meetings.
The Church in Wales said councillors could benefit from prayer or reflection before making "decisions which will affect many people".
A spokeswoman added: "Those of us with a faith may give thanks for the opportunity to make a difference and ask for God's guidance on our decisions. Those without a faith may appreciate a moment of quiet to reflect on the task ahead and remind us of our common purpose."
An act covering England says council meetings "may include time for prayers or other religious observance, or observance connected with a religious or philosophical belief".
There is no equivalent act in Wales and the Welsh Local Government Association said individual councils were not issued guidance on the matter and could use their own discretion.
NSS campaigns director Stephen Evans said scrapping prayers or removing them from meetings "allows councillors and members of staff who do not wish to participate to avoid them without having to excuse themselves".
He added: "Local councils shouldn't be clubs for Christians and unless acts of worship are properly separated from official business, the religious freedom of non-Christians will not be adequately respected."
Grocery prices fell 0.8% in June, extending May's 0.3% fall and marking the deepest deflation in food for over a year, according to the British Retail Consortium-Nielsen Shop Price Index.
Shop prices overall, including non-food items, fell 2% year-on-year, marking the 38th consecutive month of decline.
The BRC said it was an "extraordinary run of deflation".
However, the retail trade body said it eventually expected prices to rise again.
"The time it takes for any price increases to make a reappearance will depend on a combination of factors including the future value of the pound, commodity prices and any eventual impact of the Brexit vote on input costs," said BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson.
The shop price index reflects the period ahead of the referendum vote from 6 to 10 June.
The sharp fall in the pound, which has plunged about 11% against the US dollar since the outcome of the EU referendum vote, has led several analysts to warn that the price of groceries could rise longer term.
Some 40% of food consumed in the UK is imported meaning any long-term shift in exchange rates could lead to higher food costs.
But Ms Dickinson said the continuing fierce competition between retailers meant hiking prices still "may not be viable for some retailers".
The British Retail Consortium-Nielsen Shop Price Index comes a week after research firm Kantar Worldpanel reported like-for-like grocery prices fell 1.4% in the 12 weeks to 19 June compared with a year earlier, marking the 23rd consecutive period in which prices have fallen.
Kantar's head of retail and consumer insight, Fraser McKevitt, said he did not expect the immediate economic uncertainty following the outcome of the EU referendum to cause "a substantial fall in grocery volumes".
"Historically, higher prices have led to consumers looking for less expensive alternatives such as own-label products, seeking out brands on promotion or visiting cheaper retailers," he said.
Falling shop prices reflect weak inflation in the wider UK economy. Annual inflation was 0.3% in May according to the Office for National Statistics, unchanged from April.
Kwame Thomas opened the scoring from close range in the 16th minute after finishing off a neat move between Ryan Haynes, Callum Reilly and Marcus Tudgay.
Russell Slade's men then doubled their lead five minutes later when George Thomas intercepted Andy Rose's shot six yards from goal and slotted past Gillingham goalkeeper Stuart Nelson.
Coventry could have increased their lead further by half-time. Marcus Tudgay heading just wide in the 23rd minute, while George Thomas' 35th-minute shot was blocked by Nelson.
Gillingham pulled a goal back in the 55th minute through captain Max Ehmer, who slotted home at the far post after Coventry had failed to clear a corner.
The Sky Blues then had substitute goalkeeper Reice Charles-Cook to thank for keeping them in front.
Having replaced the injured Lee Burge early in the second half, Charles-Cook made a superb one-handed save from Bradley Dack's 65th-minute header
Both sides had chances to score more, but EFL Trophy finalists Coventry held on to close the gap to nine points from safety, while Gillingham slip to 18th in the table, a point clear of trouble.

Ms Anderson visited the centre and met some of the people who use it, ahead of Red Nose Day on 13 March.
The actress also spoke to the centre's project manager Vicky Jones.
Sheffield-based Iman FM had its licence suspended by Ofcom for playing the lectures by radical American Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.
The regulator said parts of the material was "likely to encourage or incite crime or lead to disorder".
Iman FM told Ofcom it was not aware of Awlaki's background.
More stories from across Yorkshire
In 2011 the United Nations Security Council described Awlaki as a "leader, recruiter and trainer for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula".
His sermons are thought to have inspired terrorist attacks including the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris in 2015 in which 12 people died and the 2009 Fort Hood shootings, in which 13 US soldiers were killed.
Awlaki was killed in a US drone strike in 2011.
Ofcom said information about Awlaki's alleged terrorist links was "freely available".
It launched an investigation of the station after a member of the public complained about the content of the lectures.
The station said it had downloaded and broadcast Awlaki's lectures during Ramadan - 26 May to 24 June - despite not having listened to them in their entirety beforehand.
It said it had listened to 12 hours of the audio, which it "judged to be within the parameters [of the Broadcasting Code]", but only samples of the remainder were checked.
The licensee said it had not listened to all of the lectures because of time constraints, it being a small radio station and the broadcasts happening during Ramadan.
It said that management had not picked up on the issue, not least because of the timing of the broadcasts when managers were "probably catching up on sleep".
The station then broadcast a show on 23 June in which it condemned the lectures and apologised to listeners.
In its ruling Ofcom said it considered the breaches of the Broadcasters Code to be "extremely serious".
It said it planned to revoke Iman FM's licence and had given the station 21 days to respond.
In a statement posted on its Facebook page, Iman FM said: "[It] has temporarily stopped broadcasting, this has resulted due to the regulator suspending its licence for the next 21 days, on the basis that unwittingly some controversial lectures were broadcast."
The deputy chief of Heliopolis police station Lt Col Amr Farouk was given 10 years in March for involuntary manslaughter and extreme negligence.
The other three officers were given one-year suspended sentences.
The detainees were asphyxiated when tear gas was fired into the back of a vehicle taking them to prison.
Security officials initially said the detainees, allegedly Islamist supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, had rioted and captured a guard while en route to Abu Zabal prison on 18 August.
Officers said they were forced to respond by firing tear gas into the vehicle carrying 45 detainees.
Crowd-control experts said at the time that the detainees would have died in agony, gasping for air and incapable of resisting the guards.
On Saturday, the Appeals court ordered the case to be transferred to the general prosecution for further investigation.
The decision "means that the case is back to square one", human rights lawyer Amr Imam told AFP news agency.
The deaths sparked international condemnation, with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon saying he was "deeply disturbed" by the events.
They took place four days after almost 1,000 people were killed when security forces cleared two sit-ins in Cairo by supporters of President Mohammed Morsi, who was ousted by the military in July.
Thousands of Islamists have since been detained, among them Mr Morsi and other senior leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, who are being tried on a variety of charges including inciting murder and conspiring with foreign organisations to spread chaos throughout Egypt.
Lewis, the Paralympic champion in Rio, retained his European PTS2 title in one hour 10 minutes and 56 seconds.
Jones, who will compete at the World Para-athletics Championships in July, won gold in her first major event in the sport, in 1:22:22.
Lauren Steadman, Dave Ellis, Melissa Reid and Cassie Cava also won gold.
Steadman, 24, returned to action for the first time since winning silver at Rio 2016 in the women's PTS5 category to win European gold in 1:13:42.
"I've had seven months off since Rio. It's been a long time off, so it's really good to be back," she said.
Ellis, guided by Carl Shaw in the men's visually impaired class, won with a time of 1:05:19 after a three-year break from the sport.
There were also silver medals for Steve Crowley (men's PTS4) and Fran Brown (PTS2 women) while ParalympicsGB handcyclist Karen Darke and 21-year-old George Peasgood (PTS5) earned bronze.
"I think that's as many titles as we've ever won at a championship," said head coach Jonathon Riall.
"To have really quite a developmental team, still with people who are only two, three years into the sport, some of them a lot younger, is just fantastic."
Full results from the European Para-Triathlon Championships are here.

The £70,000 cost of installing the automatic electronic defibrillator (AED) units is being met by the council, NHS Scotland and partner agency Amey.
Councillor Jim Logue, convener of learning and leisure services, said: "With many of our secondary schools open in the evening and at weekends for community and sports activities, having a readily accessible AED unit nearby could play a crucial role in helping to save lives at these locations."
A 25-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman have been arrested and are expected to appear at Dunfermline Sheriff Court on Monday.
Officers said they were acting on intelligence when they searched the property in the town's Birrell Drive.
They found about 7,000 diazepam tablets, 5kg of herbal cannabis, 3.5kg of diamorphine and 2kg of cocaine.
Supt Ricky Ness said: "Thanks to some excellent work by local officers and specialist resources from across the east, these drugs will no longer be able to make their way onto our streets.
"The success of this recovery would not have been possible without information from the public, which is why it's vital that the community continue to tell us about their concerns or suspicious behaviour in their neighbourhood."
The job has been vacant since Edinburgh MP Ian Murray resigned, calling on Jeremy Corbyn to stand down as leader.
Mr Anderson was also made shadow Northern Ireland Secretary last week.
The north-east of England parliamentarian currently sits on the Scottish Affairs Committee at Westminster.
Mr Anderson said he would seek a meeting with Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale "as soon as possible".
This is not a natural state, of course; there is always a weather system bubbling up somewhere.
But if you have access to a lot of images acquired over the course of several months, it becomes possible to construct a mosaic.
This one was produced from observations made by the EU's new Sentinel-2a satellite, which is now routinely mapping Planet Earth.
It is a powerful capability. Sensitive across 13 spectral bands (colours) and able to see details as small as 10m across - the spacecraft's camera "carpet maps" the land surface beneath it. Every strip is 290km wide.
And if you think about how fast the satellite is moving in orbit - that is a large swathe of real estate to scoop up at once.
It means, for example, that for an elongated country like Norway, it is possible to capture almost its entire territory in just one pass. Some 290,000km2 in just four minutes. Half of Spain can be done in two minutes.
The Sentinel's free and open data is being used for all manner of applications - from urban planning and crop monitoring to climate studies and biodiversity assessments.
Cloud is the enemy, though. Although the Sentinel's colour camera can remove light clouds like cirrus, a thick deck is impenetrable. And for tropical regions, this is a significant issue.
"We have many orbit segments going from Norway down to the Sahara with only marginal clouds. But when it comes to the tropics, such acquisitions get rare," explained Dr Bianca Hoersch, the European Space Agency's (Esa) mission manager on Sentinel-2a.
"For this Africa composite, the Climate Change Initiative team took for the tropical part any useful orbit segment, going down to single cloud-free pixel selection, from any data acquired between August 2015 and April 2016."
The full image contains 32 terabytes of data.
Only the African Great Lakes, including Victoria and Tanganyika, have been left in a cloudy state. That said, there are Sentinel-2 scientists who are just as keen to get clear views of inland and coastal water bodies, to track sediment flows, algal blooms, pollution incidents, and the like.
The interest in the data was evident at last week's Esa Living Planet Symposium. Many of the sessions dedicated to the satellite's work were standing room only.
The spacecraft is not quite working to full capacity. It is still in the ramp-up phase following its launch last June.
It has just gone to mapping every part of the Earth's land surface (cloud or no cloud) at least once every 20 days, and hopes to get that down to every 10 days by the end of the year (Europe and Africa are already mapped at this rate). A new X-band radio ground station is being made available to downlink the additional data volume. Some of it will also be sped to Earth via a laser link.
In a year's time, Sentinel-2a will be joined in orbit by a sister platform, Sentinel-2b. This second platform will permit a re-visit time of just five days - making it much easier to achieve those cloud-free segments.
Looking even further to the future, the EU is determined the imaging capability should be available deep into this century and has asked Esa already to procure an additional pair of satellites, Sentinels 2c and 2d.
"Those two spacecraft will potentially be available to launch in 2020 and 2021," said Sentinel-2 project manager François Spoto.
"The concept is not to have four spacecraft in orbit, but it will create enough spacecraft assets to replenish the constellation if and when required."

Aravindan Balakrishnan, 75, of Enfield, convinced female followers he was "all-powerful and all-seeing", Southwark Crown Court was told.
He denies charges including four counts of rape and seven of indecent assault.
Jurors also heard Mr Balakrishnan's daughter "barely left the house".
She was unaware that one of the cult followers was her mother.
Prosecutor Rosina Cottage QC told the court that, in his youth, Mr Balakrishnan was a charismatic man who brainwashed his followers.
"This case concerns the brutal and calculated manipulation by one man, this defendant, to subjugate women under his control.
"In order to bend them to his will, he used mental and physical dominance and violence, sexual degradation and, in relation to one, his daughter, he controlled every sphere of her life to the extent that she was unable either emotionally or physically to leave his influence until she was 30 years old and was in fact very ill with diabetes."
The court heard that in the 1970s Mr Balakrishnan was at the helm of a communist group known as the Workers Institute, based in Acre Lane in Brixton, south London.
Beguiled by his charisma and radical politics, a number of people became his followers, jurors heard.
But as time went by his political influence "waned" and the group dwindled until just a small number of women were left.
Ms Cottage said: "The atmosphere within the collective was controlled by the defendant and his moods. Each woman lived a life of violence, fear, isolation and confinement."
His daughter was born into the collective in the early 1980s and "had no independent life" at all, the court heard.
She had been unaware that one of Mr Balakrishnan's followers, was her mother.
Only after her death did she learn of their true relationship.
No one outside the sect knew a child was in the house, and he cult followers lived in constant fear that she might be discovered.
Diaries she kept reveal the "unbearable tedium of her life" and brief moments of "joy at the smallest sign of affection", said Ms Cottage.
"She was bullied, beaten and separated from the world.
"She never went to school, she never played with a friend, she never saw a doctor or a dentist.
"Her freedom of movement was restrained to the extent that, even though she could have left physically, the power that the defendant exercised over her meant that she could never leave. She tried once."
In a diary entry written when she was 12, Mr Balakrishnan's daughter wrote: "We are disrespecting AB so much... I must learn to serve him more faithfully in future.
"Of course he is merciful but that is no excuse. He is my lord and master."
In 2013, she called a women's charity she had seen featured in a BBC TV documentary.
The subsequent police investigation led to Mr Balakrishnan's prosecution.
Mr Balakrishnan also denies three counts of actual bodily harm, cruelty to a child under the age of 16 and false imprisonment.

They play a crucial part in the fight against terrorism around the world, their sensitive noses able to sniff out a "nanogramme" of explosives.
But the use of police dogs to crack complex crime is largely due to the "pioneering" work of South Wales Police and their battle to stop Welsh extremists in the late 1960s.
"South Wales Police were the first to train explosive search police dogs in 1969," said Sgt Ian Roderick, who has run the South Wales Police dog training school for 17 years.
"At the time there was a huge issue with Welsh extremism and there were attacks being carried out by the Free Wales Army.
"South Wales Police went to the Met [Police in London] and asked them to train the dogs to search for explosives. They said it couldn't be done - so we did it ourselves."
The results were "astounding" and led the way for the 380 explosive dogs that now work throughout the UK.
It also helped establish the South Wales Police school as one of the most prestigious in the UK, training dogs and officers from countries as far away as the the Middle East, Hong Kong and Bermuda.
It has also trained dogs for all four Welsh police forces, others around the UK, the Army and the Prison Service.
Around Wales there are now over 145 police dogs, who play an important support role for the police forces that will soon be overseen by the new Police and Crime Commissioners.
The Bridgend-based dog school started off as a training ground for four German Shepherd puppies in August 1960 - Bruce, Bess, Cora and Carl - in the then Glamorgan Constabulary.
The first dog-assisted arrest in the force area came a few months later when Carl helped stop three men stealing Christmas trees in Tonyrefail.
Since then the dogs' skills have evolved to meet the demands of modern policing.
Now, along with patrol dogs, which are usually German or Belgian Shepherds, specialist search dogs - typically gun dog breeds - are trained to find substances that humans often cannot.
As well as explosives, South Wales Police have trained dogs to locate illegal drugs, firearms, currency, blood and bodies, passports and mobile phones and SIM cards.
Despite the complicated cases they become involved with, training the dogs is relatively simple, Sgt Roderick said.
"It's all based on positive rewards. We make it fun for them, we make it a game," he said.
"They look for something based on a certain smell and if they find it they get a toy or a reward after it."
He said the training could be adapted to find all manner of substances and that as new drugs and explosives emerge, the dogs can be shown how to find them.
"I still don't think we have exploited or understand more than 5% of what a dog is capable of," he said.
"Some of our dogs are capable of detecting nanogramme of substances. Scientists admit they can't recreate machines that can detect the same amount. It fascinates me even now.
"We train the dogs to meet the needs of society.
"The drug mephedrone - or meow meow as it's known - is a big thing now. It was something that was legal until a short time ago. That's what we're training the dogs to detect now.
"We have always got to react to what's going on out there."
Puppies are usually taken on by the school when they are just a few months old and are helped to adjust to their new working environment, such as being taken to crowded stadiums and airports.
Then, when they are about 18 months old, they are given the training needed to gain their licence.
Sgt Maria Henry, who is in charge of Gwent Police's dog section, said on average their dogs were responsible for detaining over 100 criminals each month, along with recovering thousands of pounds of drugs and stolen property.
"The dogs are invaluable," she said.
"One recent success story was when a dog and its handler responded to a call-out about a stolen vehicle in Newport.
"The dog tracked some boys through fields and brambles and one of them was carrying a holdall with about a quarter of a million pounds worth of cocaine."
Police are not the only fans of their hero dogs.
"Some of the specialist dogs went up to the Olympics," said Sgt Henry.
"The explosives dog was searching the track area one evening after the crowds had gone home and he met Usain Bolt [Olympic 100m and 200m champion].
"Apparently he was fabulous with the dogs as he was missing his own. He asked if he could come and stroke them."
And what of the police handlers who form "extremely close" bonds with their dogs?
"All the dogs live with their handlers and they are very close as they have to trust each other," said Sgt Roderick.
"When the dogs retire, they often continue to live with the handler's family. You get protective of them. They're your partner."
In an email sent to the 3,400 staff at Colchester Hospital, Chief Executive Dr Lucy Moore said the trust faced tough financial challenges.
In January, the hospital was rated "inadequate" by the Care Quality Commission.
Dr Moore said only non-clinical posts were expected to be lost and compulsory redundancies would be minimised.
"There will be a root and branch restructuring of the corporate side of the trust," the email read.
"However, by this time next year, the trust aims to have 240 fewer full-time equivalent posts than we do today.
"The trust cannot rule out compulsory redundancies but if there are any, they will be few in number.
"The majority of the reduction will be achieved by not recruiting to posts that are currently vacant, by restructuring our corporate services and by redeploying staff."
Tracey Lambert, senior regional officer for the eastern branch of Unison, said the job losses were likely to affect patient care.
"The specific details have not been shared with us," she said. "We need to sit down with them and talk about how can offset as many redundancies as possible."
She added the hospital was in a "very difficult position" financially and said the union would work with the trust.
Farid Ikken, 40, was officially charged with the attempted murder of law enforcement officials and association with terrorists.
The journalist was studying in France for a doctorate in communications.
He was described by the Paris prosecutor as a novice jihadist with an atypical profile.
Francois Molins described Mr Ikken as a professionally successful man, an intellectual, who had never given anyone who knew him the slightest sign of radicalisation.
Last Tuesday in front of Notre-Dame cathedral, Mr Ikken attacked a policeman with a hammer while shouting "This is for Syria", and was then shot and wounded.
He was jailed ahead of a hearing. He had previously been receiving hospital treatment under armed guard for a gunshot wound to the leg.
Mr Ikken told investigators he had radicalised himself over a period of 10 months, Mr Molins said.
At his home outside Paris, the prosecutor added, investigators found a laptop computer and four USB keys which contained:
"He had never shown any sign of radicalisation to those close to him, he had never been convicted, he was unknown to the intelligence services and so far, no signs of contact with anyone in Iraq or Syria have been found," Mr Molins said.
"He therefore appears to have the profile of a neophyte that the services fighting terrorism fear as much as hardened cases. It shows the diversity of profiles and that anything is possible."

Alev Scott, a British-Turkish writer, says she heard gunfire in Istanbul's Taksim Square and low-flying jets.
The Foreign Office had "strongly" advised Britons to stay indoors, but recently said the situation "appears to be calming".
ABTA estimates its members have 50,000 people currently on holiday in Turkey.
More than 2.5 million Britons visit Turkey every year.
Ms Scott said: "I was watching things from my terrace, watching the military vehicles on the Bosphorus Bridge and then these sonic booms started.
"It was actually quite scary so I went down into my flat just keeping away from the windows which had all blown open."
British holidaymakers in Marmaris have also described hearing gunfire in the streets and an explosion.
Rhonda Jones, a player for Rangers Ladies football club, posted a video on Twitter of cars and scooters filling the streets in a procession loudly beeping their horns.
She described hearing "gunfire exchanged up and down the street in Marmaris" and "a small explosion".
Mike Baddeley, also on holiday in Marmaris, said he was woken by "a very large explosion, followed by, it seemed like one or two helicopters flying above our heads... with machine gun fire".
Saima Alvi, a teacher from Altrincham, landed at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport in transit to Qatar just after the coup attempt, and found herself stranded with her family, including her disabled daughter.
Speaking from the airport she said: "I was in a small transit lounge with about 150 other people and everyone was crying, upset and scared.
"I found a point which was next to an exit but also wasn't near the windows and I had a plan of action, an evaluation if I had to get out quickly with the children."
Also stranded at Ataturk airport were 41 students and seven members of staff from the Arthur Terry School in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, who were there to get a connecting flight to South Africa.
The school said earlier that the British Consulate and Foreign Office were providing support.
It issued an update on Saturday evening saying the children would fly out to South Africa overnight.
The attempted coup began on Friday evening when tanks took up positions on two bridges over the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul, blocking traffic.
Turkish officials said the attempt to seize control of the country by a faction of the armed forces is now over and 2,839 soldiers, including high-ranking officers, have been arrested.
Turkey's PM Binali Yildirim said 161 citizens had been killed and 1,440 have been wounded in clashes in a night he called a "black stain on Turkish democracy".
A further 104 suspected coup-plotters had also been killed, authorities said.
Burcu Incekara, 37, a shopkeeper on Green Lanes in Haringey, said: "My sons just went to Turkey two days ago - they said they were safe at the moment."
But she said that F-16 planes had flown very near to their house.
"There were bomb, gun attacks from the soldiers to the police - it's not good," she said.
"They were scared, of course, because near where they are there is a place with soldiers and they are scared - everyone is scared."
The Foreign Office's latest advice says: "The situation in Turkey appears to be calming following an attempted coup overnight on 15-16 July.
"The security environment, however, remains potentially volatile.
"Following earlier disruption, flights to and from airports in Turkey are returning to normal, although some disruption remains and you should check with your airline or tour operator before travelling."
ABTA, which represents travel agents and tour operators, said travellers should follow Foreign Office advice, but added that most British travellers will be visiting coastal resorts, which were not significantly affected.
The Association of British Insurers said travellers should be able to transfer travel insurance to a new destination if alternative arrangements are made by those booked to travel to Turkey.
British Airways has cancelled all flights to and from Turkey on Saturday and flight BA675 departing from Istanbul on Sunday.
Thomas Cook says on its website that its flight and holiday programme is operating as normal, but it is offering free amendments and cancellations for all customers due to fly to Turkey on Saturday and Sunday.
British nationals in Turkey can contact the Foreign Office on +44 207 008 0000.
Liberation Group was bought by Caledonia Investments, controlled by the Cayzer family shipping dynasty.

The probe, whose construction has been led from the UK, will test the technology needed to detect the warping of space-time.
LPF left its Airbus factory in Stevenage on Wednesday to catch an Antonov heavy-lift transporter.
The giant plane touched down in South America early on Thursday.
Pathfinder's next journey will be on top of a Vega rocket, which will hurl it 1.5 million km from Earth to begin its experiments.
That is likely to be on 2 December, depending on the flow of other missions going through the Kourou spaceport.
LPF is the first big European Space Agency venture to be primed industrially in Britain since Giotto, the mission that flew past Halley's comet in 1986.
Pathfinder contains just the single instrument, which is designed to measure and maintain a 38cm separation between two small metal blocks.
These "test masses" will be allowed to free-fall inside the spacecraft, and a laser system will then try to track their behaviour, following deviations down to the level of just a few picometres.
A picometre is a fraction of the width of an atom.
To put it another way, the sensitivity being demanded of the instrument is like measuring the distance from London to New York to well less than the width of a human hair.
And while this precision performance is relatively routine in Earth labs, it is very exacting to try to demonstrate it in space.
But if LPF can prove the technology, it will pave the way for an even bigger mission in the 2030s that will aim to study gravitational waves.
These are incredibly subtle ripples in space-time generated by cataclysmic events such as the merger of monster black holes.
Pathfinder has experienced an extremely tough development path.
The original industrial contract was signed with Airbus Defence and Space (under its old name, Astrium) in 2004, with a launch envisaged for 2008.
However, the immense technical challenge has seen its schedule slip by seven years. Indeed, the problems - to do with probe's delicate thrusters and the caging mechanism to hold the metal blocks - very nearly resulted in the mission being cancelled.
But such is the interest in gravitational waves that Esa member states have pushed forward with the project, and have all but approved the follow-on mission even before Pathfinder has formally demonstrated the detection techniques.
What are gravitational waves?

In the Roman Catholic Church, women are still not able to become priests.
In 2015, there are still areas of life in the UK where equality is an ambition rather than a reality.
Women still can't...
Women in the army are currently not allowed to serve in the infantry or armoured corps.
While British women have already served on the front line in places like Afghanistan in support roles, they cannot serve where the primary aim is to "close with and kill the enemy".
The government is thinking about changing this following a report.
The defence minister has ordered an 18-month review of training procedures and the physical demands of fighting to ensure the change can be made without damaging female soldiers' health.
Female cyclists aren't guaranteed a minimum wage and are only allowed to race up to 140km (87 miles) a day on the road, while men are allowed to ride 280km (174 miles).
There has been no Tour de France for women since 2009.
A new event this year was set up this year for women: La Course by Le Tour de France.
However, former Olympic champion Nicole Cooke says it is a "scandal" there is no Tour for women.
In her retirement speech she made her feelings on sexism in cycling clear, saying: "It is somewhat of a handicap trying to demonstrate just how good you are on a bike when you are not allowed to ride."
While both men and women take part in the long distance 10km marathon open water race, only women can take part in the 800m freestyle compared with the men's 1,500m freestyle race.
Additionally men's synchronised swimming is not given a place in the Olympics.
Lacrosse was first played in the UK by women at St Leonards boarding school in St Andrews in 1896.
However, unlike the men's game, no contact was allowed.
This remains unchanged 124 years later.
Some bowling leagues have male-only policies.
Most recently the Shropshire Premier Bowling League hit headlines for its "strict male-only policy".
The president, who is standing down, claimed men were better players than women.
A BBC Sport study in October found that 30% of sports pay men more prize money than women.
Out of 35 sports that pay prize money, 25 pay equally and 10 do not.
Football was one of the sports with the biggest disparities, including the World Cup and the Premier League.
The good news is that the last statistics showed that the average wage gap for women and men in full time work is 9.4%, which is the narrowest gap since the two wages began being compared in 1997.
The bad news is that once part-time work is included, that difference increases to 19.1%, which means that women earn 84p for every pound a man earns.
The top three types of profession where the gender pay gap was highest were so-called 'skilled jobs' which includes electricians, florists and chefs.
Workers who operated machinery came next. The gender pay gap was third highest among managers, senior officials and directors.
Currently 23% of directors on FTSE 100 company boards are women, according to BoardWatch, which tracks the appointments of women directors.
In the top 250 companies, it found only 17.7% have women directors.
The government has a target of 25% female representation on boards of FTSE 100 companies by 2016.
Clare Balding said it would be great if women broadcasters could turn up to work in their pyjamas to prove a point about females being judged on what they look like.
She spoke out about the issue saying: "Women being judged on appearance: it stultifies talent.
"If you did that to men we would be caught up in a maelstrom - hah, a male-strom - of nonsense."
Meanwhile down under, an Australian broadcaster turned up to work in the same suit for a year and nobody noticed.
Karl Stefanovic wore the outfit to make a point about the sexism he said his female colleagues faced.
"But women, they wear the wrong colour and they get pulled up. They say the wrong thing and there's thousands of tweets written about them," he said.
In a 2013, a report showed that 87% of women thought they were judged more on their appearance than their ability.
The report Equality for Girls was based on a survey of more than 1,200 girls and young women aged seven to 21.
Despite there still being some way to go to complete equality, women in the UK are making gains.
As Emma Watson said at the Davos World Economic Forum last week: "It is my belief that there is a greater understanding than ever that women need to be equal participants in our homes, in our societies, in our governments, and in our work places."

Last year the chance of someone born in October becoming an Oxbridge undergraduate was more than 30% higher than for someone born in July.
In seasonal terms, compared to the summer-born applicants, autumn births were 25% more likely to get an Oxbridge place, while for winter and spring births the figures were 17% and 15% more likely respectively.
This is according to data obtained from both universities under freedom of information and analysed by the BBC.
It raises the issue of whether universities should start to consider applicants' dates of birth when deciding who to give places to.
It is a well established fact in educational research that children who are younger in their year group at school tend on average to do significantly worse in terms of educational attainment. Known sometimes as the "birthdate effect" or "relative age effect", this generally diminishes as children get older but does not vanish.
Less research has been done on the implications for later life, but what these Oxbridge admissions statistics now demonstrate is that the impact on life outcomes can persist beyond school.
The birthdate effect is also a recognised phenomenon in sport.
We obtained figures from both universities for the months of birth of undergraduate applicants for places in 2012. This data only refers to applicants resident in the UK, not international students. The statistics for both universities reveal a similar monthly pattern for those accepted.
This fits with the birthdate effect. The vast majority of UK applicants to Oxbridge are from England and Wales, where school year groups are formed on a September-August basis. Thus those who have been older within their year groups are more likely to reach Oxbridge than their younger classmates.
(In Scotland, school year groups are formed on a March-February basis, and in Northern Ireland on a July-June basis. But only about 3 to 4% of UK-domiciled Oxbridge students are from Scotland or Northern Ireland, so the general picture is still valid.)
Of course the number of people actually born in each month also varies, but this does not explain the variation in Oxbridge admissions. For comparison I have included in the table above the numbers of births by month in the UK in 1993/94, which is the year of birth for more than 80% of the students accepted in 2012.
The final column measures the relative impact for Oxbridge entrance of being born in that month compared to August.
This means that on this basis for someone born in September, say, the likelihood of an Oxbridge place in 2012 was 1.12 times (or 12% higher than) for someone born in August.
It takes into account the overall numbers born in that month 18 years previously. This is a simplified and quick analysis, which ignores various details. But none of these factors should alter the broad overall picture of the strong presence of a birthdate effect.
However, in all this it is very important to note that for both universities a similar pattern - weighted towards birthdays earlier in the September-August academic year - applies to all applicants, not just those who were accepted.
This suggests the birthdate effect (like some other inequalities) is already present in influencing which pupils are doing well enough at school to apply to Oxbridge.
In other words, the Oxbridge admissions process is probably reflecting a pre-established pattern of educational disadvantage, not creating it.
Both Oxford and Cambridge routinely issue a broad collection of statistics relating to admissions, such as gender, ethnicity, disability, region and school type of candidates. However neither proactively publishes the data on month of birth, which we therefore obtained through requests under the Freedom of Information Act.
Both universities state they do not take an applicant's month of birth into account in the admissions process. A Cambridge spokesperson said that an analysis of admissions statistics should examine a range of variables over several years. Neither university wanted to issue any further reaction.
The impact of month of birth on a wide range of child and adult outcomes is currently the subject of a major research project conducted by the Institute of Fiscal Studies, which is expected to report in May.
Ellen Greaves, one of the IFS researchers, commented: "The data obtained by the BBC show that universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, may be missing out on some of the brightest students by accepting disproportionate numbers of pupils born earlier in the academic year."
"Although much could and should be done to address these inequalities earlier in the education system, it is in each university's interest to make sure that they consider a pupil's month of birth in their admissions process."
The industry is being targeted in a UK-wide campaign by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) aimed at recouping unpaid tax.
Officials say a big increase in online escort agencies has helped create an industry worth £5bn.
The UK tax authority said many of these businesses were paying the tax they owed but others hid from payments.
The HMRC taskforce will investigate both traders and entertainers, some earning thousands of pounds a day, who do not register for VAT, income tax and PAYE.
"The people being targeted by this taskforce have no intention of playing by the rules, and we won't tolerate this," said Jim Stevenson, head of HMRC taskforces.
"No industry is safe where tax evasion is concerned - we won't stop tracking people down and taking back what they owe."
The campaign follows a case in November in which a 43-year-old woman, who ran an escort agency, was jailed for three years after fraudulently claiming £118,000 in benefits and avoiding paying £230,772 in income tax and national insurance.
Janine Adeleke ran the business from her home in Bexhill-On-Sea, in East Sussex. During her trial at Canterbury Crown Court, the jury heard Adeleke lived in a house with eight bedrooms and sent her five children to private school.
At the trial, HMRC described her lifestyle as "lavish".
HMRC said that more than 140 taskforces have been launched since 2011 - targeting industries ranging from dentists to lawyers - which have collected more than £404m in unpaid tax.
Pond Park Primary School got the call just after 09:00 BST saying a device had been left there.
Police initially asked for the children to be kept in the school while they carried out a search of the grounds.
They then evacuated the school and have begun to search inside the building.
So far nothing has been found.
The 611 children have been moved to the nearby Laurelhill Community College.
And the news from Statoil this week is that there's still the confidence to invest, even with the price of Brent crude being close to half its recent value.
The pessimism has been taken up by Bank of America Merrill Lynch this week, with talk of "devastating consequences" for North Sea investment from oil around $50, and dipping as low as $30.
Citibank this week added to the gloom, with a warning that oil prices could head close to $20.
Its analysts pointed to plentiful supply, as US shale continues in abundance, with Russia and Brazil continuing to try to pump themselves out of their troubles.
The market sentiment was on the side of more positive news, notably a 30% fall since November in the number of active oil fracking rigs in the US.
Assuming that means fracked wells will dry up in a few months, and won't be quickly replaced, that helped push Brent crude above $60 per barrel by week's end - the highest level this year.
With all the volatility, it's understandable that oil companies are holding back on investment decisions.
But one exception is Statoil in Oslo, which committed on Friday to a huge new investment. And when you look at the scale of what's proposed, you can see why they're looking beyond the current headlines to a field that should still be operational after 2050.
This is Johan Sverdrup, named after the first prime minister of Norway, and discovered from wells drilled in 2010 and 2011. It's only 155km west of Stavanger, 200 square kilometres, in 110m of water and 1,900m beneath the seabed.
The field contains somewhere between 1.8 billion and 2.9 billion barrels of oil, or its gas equivalent, of which Statoil with its partners, Lundin, Det Norske and Danish-based Maersk, expect to retrieve 70%.
With production planned from 2019, it should rise from 350,000 barrels per day to a maximum of about 600,000.
Statoil reckons it should require 51,000 person-years of work to get it into production, and 2,700 further person-years to run it.
And the money numbers are astonishing. First phase investment looks like £9bn. Revenues are forecast to come in at £115bn over 50 years. Of that, the Norwegian government is expected to take more than £57bn in tax.
Wood Mackenzie, the Edinburgh-based oil data and analyst consultancy, describes Johan Sverdrup as the "crowning achievement of Statoil's successful rejuvenation of exploration in more mature areas".
Analyst Malcolm Dickson said: "The world class Johan Sverdrup oil field has proven immune to the cuts in capital spending, standing out in a barren year for project sanctions."
So is this a sign that the gloom about the North Sea industry can be put aside - that this is evidence of the second wind blowing up a gale?
Not according to WoodMac. "Johan Sverdrup is unique in the global oil industry," said Dickson. "Oil fields of this size are not found in benign regions in shallow water any more."
So as production from the rest of the North Sea declines, by 2025, it is estimated that this one field will produce quarter of Norway's output, and will represent more than all of the output currently forecast from UK waters.
Not for the first time, Norway is proving to be not only better than Britain at handling the bonanza of North Sea oil, but luckier too.
They beat Premier League champions Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley Stadium.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was the star, scoring the winner with a powerful drive into the top corner with his left foot.
The result gave Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger his first ever victory over Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
Doctor Who boss Russell T Davies will also talk about his reworking of A Midsummer Night's Dream starring Peake.
As well as marking 400 years of Shakespeare, Sir Salman will lead a celebration marking the 400th anniversary of the death of Don Quixote author Miguel de Cervantes.
The festival takes place in Hay-on-Wye in Wales from 26 May to 5 June.
Organisers have commissioned six English language and six Hispanic writers to create stories to celebrate both Shakespeare and Cervantes and to offer new perspectives on them.
Along with Sir Salman, Juan Gabriel Vasquez, Valeria Luiselli and Ben Okri will participate, while Simon Schama, James Shapiro, Germaine Greer and Gillian Clarke are among those discussing the impact of Shakespeare.
There will also be a bicentenary celebration of the birth of Charlotte Bronte, led by Tracy Chevalier, Lionel Shriver, Kirsty Gunn and Joanna Briscoe.
Other writers bringing new works to the festival include Edna O'Brien, Fay Weldon, James Runcie, Joanne Harris, Rose Tremain, Peter Carey, Mark Haddon and Jonathan Coe.
Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh will appear in conversation with 2015 Booker prize winner Marlon James, and The Bone Clocks author David Mitchell will be in conversation with Icelandic poet and novelist Sjon.
As well as Mendes discussing his film-making, screenwriter Andrew Davies will talk about his recent acclaimed adaptation of War and Peace.
Actors Brian Blessed, Michael Palin and Tippi Hedren will also be on hand to discuss their careers.
The comedy section of the festival features the likes of Sarah Millican, Marcus Brigstocke, Dara O Briain and Sara Pascoe, while Suzanne Vega, Billy Bragg, Laura Marling, K T Tunstall, Turin Brakes and Baaba Maal are on the music line-up.
Sean Moynihan was convicted of raping an 18-year-old woman at knifepoint on a cycle path in Johnstone, Renfrewshire, on 2 October 2014.
The 31-year-old carried out the attack after being released from a 2009 jail term for raping a 16-year-old girl.
The lifelong restriction order means he may spend the rest of his life in jail.
Jailing Moynihan for the cycle path rape at the High Court in Glasgow, judge Bill Dunlop QC told him that a risk assessment of the danger he presented to public safety was "most alarming and disturbing".
The judge went on: "You are what you are because you want to be. You can change, but if you do not, you face spending the rest of your days behind bars."
The judge said Moynihan would not automatically be freed after the nine year sentence.
He concluded: "You may well never be released."
The court heard that Moynihan was armed with a "rape kit" - including a knife and condoms - when he targeted the young woman.
The victim was walking on the cycle track and thought Moynihan was stopping for a rest while out jogging.
He disappeared from view before grabbing her from behind, forcing her from the path and raping her at knifepoint.
The victim told the trial: "I was crying as I started taking my clothes off. I was saying: 'why are you doing this?'
"He said: 'Don't ask silly questions or I will stab you.'"
The victim eventually escaped when he allowed her to leave.
Moynihan later told police he had met the woman weeks earlier outside a local supermarket and the sex had been consensual.
He named the teenager and insisted she had casually chatted about her mum's job, an ex-boyfriend and how she got on with her family.
But prosecutors said they believed Moynihan had trawled the victim's Facebook page shortly after the rape for information in a bid to "cover-up" his crime.
After Moynihan was sentenced, Det Ch Insp Fil Capaldi, from Police Scotland's public protection unit, said: "This was a complex and protracted investigation for the team.
"Moynihan's sinister web of lies and deceit were unravelled as he tried in vain to cover up what he had done.
"Any decent person will be rightly horrified at the details of this case and thankfully such crimes are extremely rare. Moynihan's sentence today reflects the gravity of his crime."
Moynihan raped the teenager last year after being released from a 2009 jail term for raping a 16-year-old girl, who thought his car was a taxi.
He drove her to Gleniffer Braes in Paisley before forcing the teenager to have sex.
While awaiting sentence for the latest rape, he slashed serial killer Peter Tobin in prison and was jailed to 32 months.
There is the apprenticeship levy on businesses which will raise £3bn by 2019-20.
Higher stamp duty tax on buy-to-let properties and second homes.
Higher levels of insurance premium tax - which increases costs for anyone with a car or house insurance policy.
Changes to taxes levied on banks which will raise a further £1.7bn.
There is likely to plenty more where that came from in tomorrow's Budget.
I would watch for fuel duty increases matching the rate of inflation (many close to the chancellor doubt he will take the political pain of more rapid increases), further changes to insurance premiums, higher taxes on cigarettes and alcohol (so-called "sin taxes"), the attempted closure of tax avoidance loop holes and higher business taxes.
As one Treasury source pointed out to me, yes, businesses might be irritated by the upward pressure on taxes but frankly "their support hasn't got anywhere much else to go".
The government doesn't imagine a warm embrace for John McDonnell from the UK's titans of industry.
George Osborne, an instinctive tax cutter, imposes tax rises for a reason.
His "big project" for which he wants to be remembered is "balancing the books" by 2020 and even delivering a surplus.
That means the government earning as much as it spends and thereby eliminating the deficit.
So, tomorrow, look for that 2019-20 borrowing figure.
It is the one that matters to the chancellor and the one which he will go through some pain now to achieve.
Whilst gently pointing out that the overall debt burden for the government totals more than £1.5trn - costing the government about £1bn a week in debt interest payments.
At the time of the autumn statement, the Office for Budget Responsibility predicted a government budget surplus by the end of this Parliament of £10bn.
Mr Osborne will do all he can to hit that target.
Even though - in total government expenditure terms - £10bn is little more than a rounding error.
And achieving it has become harder as economic growth has slowed and wage increases have eased.
Both reduce government income. And therefore put an upward pressure on borrowing.
Tomorrow's Budget comes against a backdrop of what Mr Osborne calls the "dangerous cocktail" of economic gloom 2016 has presented us with.
The fall in the stock market largely sparked by fears over global growth could mean a £2 billion reduction in government tax revenues according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
And, lower share prices and volatile markets also make government asset sales far harder.
The government has already delayed the sale of the final tranche of Lloyds Bank it still owns, raising around £2bn.
It has also placed firmly on the back burner plans to offload part of its 73% stake in the Royal Bank of Scotland - which was due to raise another £5bn by next year.
Wage increases 1% lower than forecast (and the Bank of England predicts they will be 0.75% below forecast) means £5bn less in tax revenues by 2020.
So, hitting that surplus figure is getting harder.
And tax rises will have to be higher, and public sector cuts (though delayed until the end of the parliament) deeper, than Mr Osborne thought last year.
To judge whether the Treasury is on track to hit its surplus there is a second figure to focus on tomorrow.
That is the amount of government borrowing undertaken this year.
The Chancellor's target is £73.5bn.
In the more optimistic days of the autumn statement - just four months ago - the government appeared on target.
But the poorer economic news since then has affected tax receipts and put that number under pressure.
By January, the government's borrowing figure had already hit £66.5bn. Yes, down nearly 14% but suggesting a year-end figure closer to £80bn than £70bn.
Can Mr Osborne pull that figure back to target? And what tax rises and public sector cuts - the pain bit - is he willing to endure?
At stake is his economic reputation. And the small matter of the security of Britain's economic future.
Guy Adams' account was blocked after he criticised NBCUniversal's coverage of the Olympic Games and posted the email address of one of its executives.
Mr Adams said NBC had only complained about the message after Twitter alerted the broadcaster to it.
Several users later retweeted the executive's email address in protest.
Mr Adams said Twitter had told him that his account
had been reactivated following
"an update from the complainant retracting their original request".
A blog post by Twitter's lawyer said it was
standard practice to temporarily suspend an account
that had posted private information which could be used "to harass or intimidate".
However, he added that the networks' workers had strayed beyond guidelines saying they should not instigate a complaints procedure themselves.
"We want to apologise for the part of this story that we did mess up," wrote Alex Macgillivray.
"The team working closely with NBC around our Olympics partnership did proactively identify a tweet that was in violation of the Twitter rules and encouraged them to file a support ticket with our trust and safety team to report the violation, as has now been reported publicly."
NBC paid $1.18bn (£752m) for the US broadcast rights to the Olympics.
It later announced it would screen some events with a time delay in order to target a primetime audience.
As a result its broadcast of the opening ceremony was shown on the US's east coast with a three-and-a-half hour delay, and with a gap of up to six-and-a-half hours on the west coast.
The decision has been attacked by some Twitter users who identified their remarks by adding #NBCFail.
NBC formed a partnership with Twitter ahead of the Games to create a page highlighting messages from NBC personalities, athletes and fans during the event.
Its commitment to both live and delayed-news platforms may have worked in its favour, with the former helping build anticipation for the latter.
NBC has said that a record 40.7 million people watched its coverage of the opening ceremony, saying it was "a great early sign that our strategy of driving people to watch NBC in prime-time is working".
He added that Twitter accepted that proactively reporting content "is not acceptable and undermines the trust our users have in us".
Mr Adams - who is based Los Angeles - posted a message last Friday criticising NBC's decision to broadcast the Games' opening ceremony with a time delay.
"The man responsible for NBC pretending the Olympics haven't started yet is Gary Zenkel. Tell him what u think," Mr Adams tweeted, referring to NBC's Olympics president.
He also included Mr Zenkel's business email address in the message.
Mr Adams said when he checked his account on Sunday he had received a message saying it had been suspended.
NBC Sports subsequently released a statement confirming it had called for the action.
"We filed a complaint with Twitter because a user tweeted the personal information of one of our executives," it said.
"According to Twitter, this is a violation of their privacy policy. Twitter alone levies discipline."
Mr Adams then
published an article
saying a Daily Telegraph journalist had forwarded him an email from NBC.
He quoted an NBC spokesman as saying: "Our social media department was actually alerted to it by Twitter and then we filled out the form and submitted it."
Twitter's terms and conditions say posting another person's private and confidential information, including "non-public, personal email addresses" is a violation of its rules.
But Mr Adams said he had done nothing wrong, as the address he had used was a corporate one based on the same system used by NBC's other employees and could easily be worked out by "anyone in possession of 30 seconds of free time and access to Google".
Mr Macgillivray referred to this in his blog saying: "There are many individuals who may use their work email address for a variety of personal reasons... [We do] not have insight into the use of every user's email address, and we need a policy that we can implement across all of our users in every instance."
Before Twitter restored Mr Adams' account many users had come out in his support.
"Scandal that someone should be banned for voicing an opinion,"
tweeted London-based Nicholas Pritchard
.
"I think Twitter's suspension of Guy Adams' account hurts its own brand. A lot,"
posted George Maschke
from the Netherlands.
Among the critics were others involved in the media industry.
"Twitter's suspension of @guyadams jars with company's claim to be the free speech wing of the free speech party,"
wrote the Guardian's special projects editor
Paul Lewis.
"I wouldn't have posted the email address. But Twitter's removing his account was outrageous,"
added Dan Gillmor
, from the Arizona State University's school of journalism.
The fire struck one tower in Ajman emirate, north of Dubai, before spreading to an adjacent block.
Residents were evacuated, but several have reportedly been treated for breathing problems and minor injuries.
On New Year's Eve, a large fire engulfed the luxury 63-storey Address Hotel in central Dubai.
The latest fire began late on Monday in the Ajman One complex, a development of 12 towers with some 3,000 apartments.
Videos posted by Ajman Police on Twitter showed flames engulfing most of one side of the tower, reaching several storeys high.
An earlier video showed a large amount of burning debris falling to the ground.
On Tuesday morning, Ajman civil defence said the fire had been extinguished and that teams were waiting for the building to cool down.
The 2.7bn dirham (£515m; $735m) project had been due to open in 2009, but was completed years later.
In the New Year's Eve hotel blaze, which burned for more than 20 hours, police said 16 people were injured. Planned fireworks at the nearby Burj Khalifa went ahead despite the fire breaking out shortly before.
Police said cladding used on the outside of the building did not meet safety standards.
The blaze was caused by a short circuit in a spotlight, investigators said.
In February 2015, a large fire badly damaged the Torch skyscraper in Dubai, one of the tallest residential towers in the world.
City looked to have secured a draw with 14 minutes left, when Jesus Navas finished a sweeping counter attack following brilliant work by Sergio Aguero.
That equaliser cancelled out Ramiro Funes Mori's opener for Everton on the stroke of half-time.
Argentine Funes Mori pounced after Willy Caballero saved Ross Barkley's shot - although City were nursing an understandable sense of injustice with Lukaku standing in an offside position in front of the keeper.
Everton refused to be sunk by Navas' sucker punch and responded within two minutes, Lukaku heading in his 12th goal in 12 games from Gareth Barry's perfect cross.
Everton had efforts from John Stones and Lukaku rightly ruled out for offside - and it looked like a case of third time lucky for Martinez's team when Funes Mori struck just before half-time.
Caballero did well to block Barkley's shot, even though the giant figure of Lukaku was clearly standing offside, and appeared to be in the City keeper's line of vision.
Lukaku did not touch the ball, and did not appear to make a movement towards it, so the debate centred on whether he was interfering with an opponent by obstructing Caballero's view.
Referee Robert Madley waved away City's protests and Everton grasped at their good fortune - but the visitors had every right to feel they were hard done by.
That was not the only frustration for City manager Manuel Pellegrini, who felt his side had a strong penalty appeal rejected when Navas went down under a Kevin Mirallas challenge.
"Everton's first goal was absolutely offside and it was a clear penalty when Jesus Navas was fouled," Pellegrini said. "I didn't speak to the referee after the game - they were both clear.
"To lose 2-1 is a bad result but it just means we have to win 1-0 at home. I still think we are able to play in the Capital One Cup final."
When the 34-year-old former England midfielder struggled last season, many thought this model professional's distinguished career at the top was coming to a close.
Barry has demonstrated that reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated by having an outstanding campaign this term - and all that experience was on show here.
He was the perfect partner for the abrasive, energetic Mo Besic, the rough diamond whose early tackling and positive approach kept Everton going through a slow start and roused a subdued Goodison Park.
Barry, in turn, showed all his class as he strode through midfield making crucial interceptions, breaking up play and barely wasting a pass.
Barkley had a frustrating evening further forward but once again he never stopped driving at City's defence and epitomised Everton's approach after the early exchanges, even though he promised more than he delivered, with several strikes either wide of the target or saved by Caballero.
While Barry and Besic ran the show around him, City midfielder Yaya Toure looked every day of his 32 years and more besides.
A lumbering figure, he had no impact on the game and his contribution was summed up when an attempted forward run in the first half was halted by the pace and power of Besic, who caught the giant Ivorian to tackle and rob him, leaving him stranded on the ground.
Even as City chased their way back into the game in the second half, Toure was nowhere to be seen. Normally such an influence, he was little more than a passenger.
Toure is still capable of moments of brilliance, as he showed when scoring in Saturday's win at Watford - but are the years finally catching up with the man who has been City's talisman so often?
Both teams are in FA Cup action this weekend, with Everton hosting Dagenham and Redbridge, and Manchester City travelling to Norwich. City and Everton meet again in the Premier League at Etihad Stadium next Wednesday.

Fourth seed Matthew won 3-1 and goes on to face Egyptian sixth seed Karim Abdel Gawad in the last eight.
The 36-year-old from Sheffield dropped the opening game but came through 6-11 11-9 11-7 12-10 in 65 minutes.
Matthew is trying to win his fourth world title after victories in 2010, 2011 and 2013.
"It was windy and there was a little bit of humidity," he said of the open-air tournament.
"But at the World Championships you have to dig those results out and I think I will benefit a lot from this match tonight in terms of getting me back match-fit for the next round."
Top seed Mohamed El Shorbagy beat fellow Egyptian Karim Ali Fathi 3-0 to reach the quarters in Cairo.
More than 350 scientists will attend the four-day British Science Festival at Swansea University from Tuesday.
It features talks and lectures from experts in different fields.
Hilary Lappin-Scott said there was a shortage of core workers in Wales and it was important to bring in more girls and keep women in those careers.
The university is running a session on promoting women in science and how to get girls interested.
Ms Lappin-Scott, who is also a microbiologist, told BBC Radio Wales: "I'm so committed to getting our young girls through the Swansea region and south Wales so that they get a passion for science - that they meet women scientists and engineers just like me and others and realise we're just pretty normal people really, and then we can have a bright future."
"Bringing in more girls and keeping women in stem careers, it'll make such a difference to our Welsh economy."
She added that making the stem subjects science, technology, maths and engineering "cool" was key.
"We do need all to work with our young children and give support to school teachers and parents.
"Maths, science, these are at the base of everything we do in everyday life. [There are] ways that we can make science cool as well, and you come along to the festival and you get that by the bucket load," she told Good Morning Wales.

The events are being held in Cheltenham and Gloucester later to hear people's experiences of care in the last year.
England's chief inspector of hospitals said views expressed would help inspectors decide what to look at.
Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust will be inspected on 10 March and given an overall rating under changes by the Care Quality Commission.
The chief inspector, Prof Sir Mike Richards, announced last year he would lead significantly larger inspection teams than before, headed up by clinical and other experts including trained members of the public.
He said: "The new inspections are designed to provide people with a clear picture of the quality of the services in their local hospital, exposing poor or mediocre care as well as highlighting the many hospitals providing good and excellent care.
"Of course we will be talking to doctors and nurses, hospital managers and patients at the trust. But it is vital that we also hear the views of the people who have received care at the trust, or anyone who wants to share information with us.
"This will help us plan our inspection, and so help us focus on the things that really matter to people who depend on this service."
The inspectors are holding "listening" events for the public to share their experiences at Hotel Mercure Cheltenham Queens at 15:30 and New County Hotel, in Gloucester, at 18:00.
The marketplace, on the Hack Forums website, was notorious for making it easy it launch attacks that knocked servers offline.
The section was "permanently shut down" because several attacks known to be co-ordinated via the forum caused web-wide disruption.
One regular victim of attacks arranged via Hack Forums welcomed the closure.
"Unfortunately once again the few ruin it for the many," wrote Jesse LaBrocca, founder of Hack Forums, in a message explaining why the section was being closed.
"I'm personally disappointed that this is the path I have to take in order to protect the community," he wrote. "I loathe having to censor material that could be beneficial to members."
Mr LaBrocca hinted that the whole site could be shuttered if the web attack section was not closed, adding a reference to "recent events" that had prompted the decision.
The "recent events" are likely to be the attacks of 21 October that briefly took down popular websites such as Reddit, Twitter and Spotify as well as many others.
Analysis revealed that historic amounts of data had been used to cause the disruption.
An attack tool called Mirai is known to have launched the tidal waves of data that made sites hard to reach.
Source code for this tool was shared on Hack Forums shortly before the attacks took place.
Mirai helped malicious hackers launch what are known as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks by hijacking insecure webcams and digital video recorders and using them to send endless data requests to targets.
As well as the big attacks, the Hack Forums marketplace also gave people access to so-called "booter" and "stresser" services.
These low-cost DDoS services were often used by gamers keen to knock rivals offline or to inconvenience people that malicious hackers wanted to harass.

Delyn Labour MP David Hanson told MPs that 13-year-old George Atkinson had died when a pellet hit his head after an airgun went off accidentally.
Mr Hanson said the law should require airguns to be stored in metal gun cabinets, with trigger locks for the weapons further improving safety.
Policing Minister Brandon Lewis said he would consider the suggestions.
The teenager, from Pontblyddyn in Wales, near Mold, was playing with another boy when an air gun accidentally went off.
Mr Hanson said that the pain of that loss remained strong for the family and they wanted further tragedies to be prevented.
He said that in the last 27 years, 17 children had died as a result of airguns.
"Sadly the circumstances of George's death could be repeated today unless further action is taken," Mr Hanson said.
The MP also said that the RSPCA had reported a 49% increase in airgun attacks on animals over two years, and the charity wanted the legal age for unsupervised use of airguns to be raised from 14 to 17.
Mr Hanson said that securely locking away airguns in a metal gun cabinet when not in use, as with other firearms, would be a "small but important change" which would deter young people.
Requiring trigger locks on the weapons would further improve safety, he added.
Responding for the UK Government, Mr Lewis said that public safety was the top of his agenda, but that it was important to strike the right balance.
He said everyone had to take responsibility to ensure that weapons are not handled unsupervised by those under the age of 18.
"What is reasonable can and will vary according to the circumstances," Mr Lewis said.
The minister said the UK government recognised that there were legitimate uses for air weapons, such as shooting sports, but confirmed he would look again at Mr Hanson's ideas.
In Scotland it will be a criminal offence to have an air weapon without a licence or permit from 31 December 2016.
One in seven people will not respond to salmeterol, found in purple or green inhalers, which is given to tens of thousands of children in the UK.
A study of 62 children showed those patients could be identified and given effective treatment.
The results were published in the journal Clinical Science.
Salmeterol, which is found in Seretide and Servent inhalers, is used to relax the airways in the lungs. It is taken by children who cannot control their asthma just with a blue inhaler, which is given to all children when they are diagnosed with asthma.
The reason why some children do not respond to salmeterol is hidden in their genetic code. The drug acts on beta-2 receptors in the airways, however, one in seven people have a genetic mutation resulting in their receptors being a slightly different shape, which the drug struggles to recognise.
DNA taken from a child's spit can be tested to reveal the shape of their beta-2 receptor and whether salmeterol will work.
The study, by the Brighton and Sussex Medical School and the University of Dundee, looked at 62 children with the mutation.
Half were given salmeterol and the other half were given an alternative asthma drug, montelukast.
The researchers said the difference was "pretty striking" as symptoms improved and children had less time off school.
Prof Somnath Mukhopadhyay said: "For almost every clinical outcome we were looking at we found that salmeterol either wasn't working or was working very poorly. Montelukast was very much better.
"We've shown for the first time that personalised medicine can work in the field of childhood asthma."
He said the test, which is not yet available for use in GPs surgeries, would cost about £15 and that it was "unacceptable" to give children drugs which did not work.
Prof Mukhopadhyay added: "It's a common disease affecting a million children in this country, a common medicine is probably not working in a significant proportion of the population.
"I think we need to get some guidance from lead charities and from the Department of Health."
The exact number of children who have the mutation and are taking the drug is unknown, but could be up to 15,000 in the UK.
Personalised medicine is one of the great hopes for the future of healthcare.
Instead of treating all patients with the same disease with the same treatment, doctors would analyse each patient's genetic code to see which treatment would work best.
Genetics has shown that breast cancer is not one disease, but at least 10 - each with a different cause and needing a different treatment.
In the future, it's hoped, doctors will look at the DNA inside a tumour before choosing which treatment to offer.
Herceptin is already used only in patients who will respond to it.
Doctors believe they have now demonstrated the first use of personalised medicine in childhood asthma and it's likely similar tests will be developed for a range of diseases.
Responding to the study, Malayka Rahman from the charity Asthma UK said the results were "really encouraging" but more research was needed before a decision could be made on introducing such a test.
"This exciting area of research has the potential to lead to the tailoring of better treatments for an individual based on their own genetic make-up; ultimately keeping more people out of hospital and preventing unnecessary asthma deaths in the long-term."
The Department of Health welcomed the research and said looking at genes may one day be used to tailor treatments. However, a spokesperson said more work still needed to be done before that stage was reached.
Anna Murphy, consultant pharmacist and Royal Pharmaceutical Society spokesperson, said: "The study itself was designed to prove that a child's genetic make-up can have an impact on the effectiveness of treatment rather than to advise on the specific treatments we use for children with asthma.
"Therefore it would not be responsible to change prescribing practice at this time."
She said parents who were concerned should speak to their pharmacist or doctor.
Prof Stephen Holgate, from the University of Southampton, said the results were "impressive" and were a "wonderful example" of personalised medicine getting closer to the GPs surgeries.
"The gene-based test is not yet available to doctors, but should become so if larger trials are equally positive."
Appledore Shipyard handed over a 50m euros (£41m) ship to the service in April and is currently working on another vessel ordered in 2010.
The yard in north Devon employs more than 300 people.
Babcock, the company which owns the yard, said keeping to budget and time deadlines with previous orders had helped to secure the third contract.
Since 2002, the shipyard has built only parts of vessels, which have been floated away for other yards to complete.
The shipyard was founded in 1855, but went into administration in 2003.
The yard was then bought by engineering contractors Babcock.
Jackie Preuss, 43, penned Simon's Saga - named after her lover Simon Cragg - based on their two-year relationship.
She also bombarded his wife with phone calls and sent scantily-clad pictures of herself in a year-long campaign.
Preuss, of Stourport-on-Severn, admitted harassment and was given 20 weeks' prison, suspended for 18 months.
Prosecutor Angela Halam told Birmingham Magistrates' Court the extracts from the book sent to Debra Michael were "quite graphic".
The court heard Preuss went to the house of Ms Michael and introduced herself as "Simon's girlfriend" and also sent papers to the victim detailing the affair.
Mrs Halam said Preuss posted messages on Facebook asking if Ms Michael noticed lipstick on Mr Cragg's shirt.
In one message to her victim, Preuss wrote: "I think I've left my knickers in the car... would you mind checking?"
Mitigating, Ian Vesey told the court: "All this started because he had an affair with her. It takes two to tango.
"She is an intelligent lady. Sometimes when people are in these situations, it's hard to see the wood for the trees."
The jail term was suspended for 18 months, and Preuss, of Anchor Drive, was ordered to pay costs of £775 and a victim surcharge of £115. A restraining order was also imposed.
Ms Michael said in a victim impact statement: "This entire experience had made me feel victimised.
"I feel I have to bow my head in shame."
The Pentagon said the Syrian planes were leaving as its jets arrived.
People in the north-eastern Syrian city say government warplanes have hit Kurdish districts there for the past two days.
Thousands are reported to have fled their homes.
Hassakeh is mainly under the control of a Kurdish militia, the YPG.
What is left of Syria after five years of war?
Syrian Kurds declare federal system
Syrian government's warplanes bombed Kurdish areas of Hassakeh for the second day running on Friday. On Thursday, the US "scrambled" - quickly launched - fighter jets to defend some special forces soldiers that were in the area, but did not have to engage in combat because the Syrian planes turned and left as they arrived. Much of Hassakeh is controlled a Kurdish militia, the YPG.
Special forces are elite soldiers with specialist skills, who often work undercover. There are 300 US special forces troops in Syria. Most of them were sent there in the past few months. They support local militias, including the YPG, in the fight against so-called Islamic State (IS).
No weapons were fired between the US and Syria, but the incident was enough of a threat against US personnel on the ground for the coalition's military apparatus to swing into action. It is thought to be the first time this has happened.
Pentagon spokesman Capt Jeff Davis said that as far as he was aware, Thursday's mission was the first time that coalition aircraft had been scrambled to respond to an incident involving Syrian government aerial bombardment.
The US had no radio contact with the Syrian planes.
Capt Davis told journalists that the US had warned Syria via its communication channel with Russia that it would defend coalition troops.
He said the strikes "did not directly impact our forces" but they were "close enough that it gives us great pause".
US President Barack Obama has authorised the deployment of special forces troops in Syria to support local militias in the fight against IS, but he has repeatedly ruled out sending ground forces to the conflict.
In a statement on Syrian state TV on Friday evening, the general command of the Syrian army accused Kurdish forces of "attacking state institutions, stealing oil and cotton, obstructing exams, kidnapping unarmed civilians and spreading chaos and instability".
These actions required an appropriate response from the army, the statement said.
A Kurdish journalist who is in Hassakeh, Heybar Othman, told the BBC that it was the first time the Syrian government had used air power against the city.
"Right now in the city you don't have electricity, you don't have bread," he said.
"We don't have [a] specific number of casualties but approximately 12 civilian people [were] killed and more than 33 injured."
The YPG has emerged as a major fighting force in northern Syria in the past two years, becoming a key ally of the US-led coalition against IS.
Kurds made up between 7% and 10% of Syria's population of 24.5 million before the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began five years ago.
Although they were denied basic rights and suffered decades of political suppression by the Arab-led state, most Kurds avoided taking sides when a wave of protests swept the country.
When government forces withdrew from Kurdish areas to concentrate on fighting rebels elsewhere in mid-2012, Kurdish militias led by the YPG swiftly took control. | With elections for Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) taking place on 15 November across Wales and England, we are taking a look at aspects of modern policing - including the role of the "canine cops".

Doris Payne was arrested for allegedly pocketing $690 (£451) earrings from a Saks Fifth Avenue store in the Atlanta suburbs.
Her lawyer is seeking her release because of unspecified health concerns.
Payne, who was profiled in a 2013 documentary, has served multiple prison stints for her crimes.
Officials say she has used at least 22 aliases since she stole her first diamond when she was 23 years old, and probably got away with far more than she was convicted of.
The Jewelers' Security Alliance, an industry trade group, sent bulletins warning stores about her as early as the 1970s.
The group's president John Kennedy said the length of Payne's criminal activity was "extraordinarily rare".
"Usually they either stop because they have enough money and they don't want the risk anymore, or they're dead," he said.
In a 2005 prison interview with the Associated Press, Payne said it was never about the money,
"I've had regrets, and I've had a good time," she said.
Ben Trenchard created the machine to record each note from Peterborough Cathedral's 5,286-pipe organ as part of preparation for its £410,000 re-pitch.
It was recorded overnight to minimise background noise and will provide a complete sound sample for the organ builders doing the re-pitch.
The instrument is slightly sharper than "standard pitch" introduced in 1939.
Once complete, it will able to accompany visiting orchestras and choirs and the cathedral's choristers will be trained at the same pitch as the music they hear elsewhere.
The re-pitch has been years in the planning, but a previous attempt by the team to use people to make the recordings failed.
Mr Trenchard said: "We spent three nights and we got to two or three in the morning and we just decided we had to go to bed.
"It was suggested we could get a robot to do this, so the challenge was made and I came up with this robot design."
Cathedral director Stephen Grahl said each note was sampled three times - a short note, a medium-length note and a longer note.
He said: "The primary purpose of the recording is conservation and an audio sample set of the recordings may be issued at a later date."
But noise pollution did result in some retakes.
"In particular, there was one evening where there was a persistent motorcyclist, who kept riding backwards and forwards in the vicinity of the cathedral, and we had to retake those samples," he said.
The 19th Century organ is being re-pitched by County Durham-based Harrison and Harrison and is due for completion in early 2017.
Harvey Proctor said the claims had "wrecked" his life and called for senior police officers to resign.
He was interviewed under caution as part of Operation Midland, an inquiry into claims powerful men abused children in the 1970s and 1980s.
He called the Metropolitan Police inquiry a "homosexual witch hunt".
"I'm a homosexual. I'm not a murderer or a paedophile," said Mr Proctor.
He held a press conference to address the issue, saying he wanted to end the "drip, drip, drip" of information in the media.
Mr Proctor, Conservative MP for Billericay until 1987, said he met officers from the Metropolitan Police voluntarily on Monday, following a similar interview in June.
The Met said it would not be commenting following Mr Proctor's press conference.
During the conference in central London, Mr Proctor said he believed all the claims against him came from one complainant - protected by legal anonymity and known only as "Nick".
The former MP said:
Mr Proctor added: "I should be arrested, charged and prosecuted for murder and these awful crimes immediately so I can start the process of ridiculing these preposterous allegations in open court - or 'Nick' should be stripped of his anonymity and prosecuted for wasting police time and money, making the most foul of false allegations and seeking to pervert the course of justice."
He also said that "Nick" should be "medically examined to ensure he is of sound mind".
Mr Proctor said police had asked him if he knew his "eight alleged co-conspirators".
He said this alleged "gang" contained people he knew, as well as people he had heard of and people he did not know.
"None of the allegations were alleged to have taken place at my home, and I have not visited the homes of any of the 'gang'," he said.
Mr Proctor said the list of names included those of former Home Secretary Leon Brittan, former chief of the defence staff Lord Bramall and former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath.
He said he and Sir Edward "despised" each other and that he had never been to Sir Edward's home - which he pointed out would have had CCTV and numerous security and household staff.
"It is so far-fetched as to be unbelievable. It is unbelievable because it is not true," he said.
"My situation has transformed from Kafkaesque bewilderment to black farce incredulity."

Pension firm AJ Bell calculated that 54 FTSE 100 companies had paid out £48bn to shareholders a year in the past two years.
That's almost equal to the total £52bn recorded deficit of their combined pension schemes in 2014.
"The plights of BHS and Tata Steel have brought this into focus," said Russ Mould, investment director of AJ Bell.
"There is a huge question for companies to answer around whether they are adequately funding their pension schemes in order to sustain the future pensions of their work force," he said.
Last month, data from the Pensions Regulator showed that, during the past five years, shareholder payouts made by companies with defined-benefit pensions had often greatly exceeded the amount they spent in fixing their deficits.
It told companies that they need to play fair when balancing the need for profitability against protecting their staff's futures.
Andrew Warwick-Thompson, executive director of regulatory policy at the Pensions Regulator, said: "It is important that employers treat their pension scheme fairly and we expect trustees to question employers' dividend policies where debt recovery contributions are constrained."
That theme was echoed by Mr Mould, who said: "Management teams face difficult decisions around how to allocate capital to ensure profitable growth and sustainable shareholder payouts.
"Emerging holes in their pension schemes add another difficult dimension, but it is one that they cannot ignore."
He pointed out that insufficient contributions to a pension fund could leave the company with liabilities that could drag on future performance and ultimately lead to staff receiving lower pensions if the business ran into difficulties and entered administration.
But Tom McPhail, head of retirement policy at Hargreaves Lansdown, warned of the dangers of interfering with dividend distributions.
"With most pension funds investing in major UK companies, there's a risk of actually undermining the assets which make up the pension schemes," he said.
"There needs to be a balance between the needs of shareholders and workers' pension schemes, although the experiences at BHS and Tata Steel have made it clear it's time to re-examine how that balance can best be achieved."
The analysis showed that eight of the 20 FTSE 100 companies with the largest pension deficits paid out more in dividends than their deficit.
According to its 2014 full-year accounts, for instance, Royal Dutch Shell had a deficit in its staff pension scheme of £6,739m. In 2014 it paid out £7,531m to shareholders, while in 2015 the figure climbed to £7,999m.
But a spokesman for Royal Dutch Shell pointed out that its main pension schemes in the UK and the Netherlands were fully funded and that the overall global deficit was relatively small in relation to the company's size.
Other FTSE 100-listed firms that had pension deficits of more than £1bn in 2014, but which paid out a higher amount in dividends, were AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Rio Tinto and National Grid.
Ross Finnie of Food Standards Scotland said the evidence was clear that fortification could help prevent birth defects such as spina bifida.
However, he said that the current industry set-up meant it could only be achieved on a UK-wide basis.
The UK government said it was "carefully considering" the issue.
An estimated 85% of women do not take enough folic acid in their diet.
The NHS currently recommends that women trying to conceive a child should consume 400 micrograms of folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, a day.
The vitamin is already added to some spreads and breakfast cereals, but ministers at Westminster have so far resisted ruling that it should be added to flour.
Referring to the latest advice from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN), Mr Finnie said: "The scientific evidence has shown for some years now that this is an effective way of reducing the liability to neural tube defects.
"Scottish ministers have been in favour of that for many years now and what Food Standards were asked, having previously been asked for scientific advice, what we were asked this time was to see if there were practical ways of implementing the policy in Scotland alone.
"Unfortunately we discovered, and it's nobody's fault, but the way in which the flour and milling industries are structured, they are structured in a way that delivers effective and efficiently, from their point of view, flour across the United Kingdom.
"Trying to separate that out, such that you would have separate plants having fortification of folic acid for delivery just in Scotland, the costs associated with that were disproportionate to the effort that was required."
The Scottish government has previously stated its support for mandatory fortification amid concern about low folate levels in Scotland.
Mr Finnie said there was also broad support for the initiative in Wales and in Northern Ireland.
He said: "Curiously enough, Public Health England actually supports this measure, but there appears to be some political resistance in England against this."
A UK government spokeswoman said: "We recognise the risk of pregnancies and births affected by neural tube defects and are grateful to SACN for their review of the evidence of folic acid.
"Ministers will carefully consider SACN's conclusions and respond in due course."
They say the Lafayette meteorite shows signs of carbonation - where minerals absorb CO2 in a reaction with water.
Mars lost its protective blanket about 4 billion years ago, perhaps because of the loss of its magnetic field, space impacts, or chemical processes.
Carbonation may be the key factor, they write in Nature Communications.
The process occurs naturally on Earth - and has been proposed as a technique for mitigating climate change, by capturing CO2 from the atmosphere.
The 4.5cm Lafayette meteorite was discovered in Indiana, US in 1931, having plummeted to Earth about 3,000 years ago.
It formed in the Red Planet's crust about 1.3 billion years ago, and was ejected from the surface by a massive impact.
A team from the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre (SUERC) performed microscopic analysis on a section of the rock - borrowed from the Natural History Museum in London.
They found that silicate minerals, such as olivine and feldspar, had interacted with CO2-rich liquid water to form siderite crystals.
The team says their discovery suggests liquid water was present on Mars more recently than some had thought.
They also say it represents the first direct evidence for carbonation on the Red Planet - and ties in with the discovery of carbonates by Nasa's Curiosity Mars rover.
"Carbonation could be the main force that turned Mars to stone," said lead author Dr Tim Tomkinson, of SUERC.
"We can't say for certain it's the dominant cause - the loss of Mars' magnetic field may also have led to the stripping of its atmosphere by the solar wind. And CO2 is also frozen in the poles of Mars.
"But carbonates do seem to be very abundant on the Martian surface."
The loss of its carbon dioxide cloak is likely to have caused Mars to cool. So understanding how the CO2 was removed "could provide vital clues to how we can limit the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and so reduce climate change" said Dr Tomkinson.
Mineral carbonation is widespread on Earth. For example, in Oman's Samail mountains, weathering of peridotite rocks has been estimated to bind more than 10,000 tons of CO2 per year.
Speeding up this natural process - by fracking rocks and pumping in purified CO2 - has been proposed as a technique for carbon capture and storage.
"From our analysis of the meteorite, it seems that carbonation occurs in certain orientations - we see amazing saw-tooth edges, all lining up," Dr Tomkinson told BBC News.
"It could be for example that if you wanted to frack rocks and introduce CO2 you should do it from a certain angle."
Dr Caroline Smith, curator of meteorites at the Natural History Museum, said: "These findings show just how valuable meteorites from collections like those we have here really are.
"There is so much important and useful scientific information locked away in these rare rocks.
"Our study shows that as we learn more about our planetary next door neighbour, we are seeing more and more similarities with geological processes on Earth."
Despite extensive and painstaking searches, the bodies have never been found of four out of 16 people listed by the commission set up to locate victims' remains.
Searches have been carried out by the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains, established in 1999 by treaty between the British and Irish governments to obtain information in strictest confidence that may lead to where the bodies are buried.
BBC News NI looks at the stories behind the Disappeared.
The IRA claimed that the 24-year-old from Belfast confessed to being a British provocateur and Military Reaction Force undercover agent in 1978.
Remains confirmed as Disappeared man
Abducted from his home in the Ardoyne area of north Belfast in July 1975, after being accused by the IRA of being an informer. It was claimed he was quartermaster in one of the IRA's three Belfast brigades and that his activities forced the IRA into calling a ceasefire that year.
His body was discovered in a coffin left at Faughart graveyard near Dundalk, County Louth in 1999 after IRA intermediaries passed information to the commission for the location of the victims remains. 'Disappeared' victim identified
Twenty-two when he was abducted with his friend John McClory in 1978, he had first gone missing a few days beforehand, but returned 48 hours later, beaten and distraught. He had allegedly admitted to stealing IRA weapons for use in robberies.
His parents made him give back the money and it seemed the matter had been "resolved", but when he failed to return home from work soon after, his family began to fear the worst. His body was uncovered in a bogside location in County Monaghan in 1999. 'My tears for Brian'

IRA 'was wrong' over bodies issue
The west Belfast man went missing from his home in 1981. The IRA said Mr McIlhone was not suspected of being an informer but was being questioned about stealing weapons - it was claimed he was killed in a struggle with the person who was guarding him.
Remains discovered in the Wicklow mountains in November 2008 were confirmed as his. It followed two previous unsuccessful searches - in 1999 and 2000 - for his remains.
Family of IRA victim 'at peace'
The 57-year-old father-of-five from Crossmaglen in south Armagh, went missing on his way to Mass in 1981. His car was later found near a cinema in Dundalk. The IRA denied any involvement in his disappearance at the time. A team looking for Mr Armstrong found human remains in County Monaghan in July 2010. Two months later, the remains were confirmed as being those of Mr Armstrong.
Widow's relief as remains found
Fresh 'Disappeared' search
Described as a vulnerable person with learning difficulties, he vanished at the age of 21 from his home in west Belfast in 1973. Reports suggest he may have been abducted and murdered by the IRA. His name was added to the list of the Disappeared in 2009 after new information became available.
For four days before he disappeared he lived with an Army unit at their headquarters near his Falls Road home. At the time the Army was accused of using a vulnerable person to gather information on the IRA, but the Army said they wanted him to experience military life.
His remains were found at Waterfoot beach in County Antrim in November 2010. Fresh 'Disappeared' dig announced

The SAS-trained officer was abducted by the IRA in Jonesborough County Armagh, in May 1977. The 29-year-old was abducted when he visited a pub at Dromintee, south Armagh. He had been in the pub singing rebel songs. He was seized during a struggle in the pub's car park and taken across the border to a field at Ravensdale, County Louth, and later shot dead.

The internal structure of Capel Aberfan, built in 1876, was destroyed and four homes were evacuated after the blaze in the early hours of Saturday.
The chapel was used as a temporary mortuary following the Aberfan mining disaster in 1966 and housed a memorial organ.
Daniel Brown, 26, will appear at Merthyr Crown Court on 28 July.
He chose to have the lower part of his right leg amputated and was fitted with an artificial limb.
Ben was born with a condition known as fibular hemimelia - giving him a foot with only three toes and a leg that failed to develop.
It left him struggling to walk and frequently in pain.
Ben was fitted with an artificial leg after his amputation - which he says was fine for walking around school, but which did not match his sporting ambitions.
Frustratingly for a boy already keen on sport in primary school, he could not keep up with his friends.
However, his prosthetist Clare Johnson recommended him to become one of the first children to be fitted with a false leg designed specifically for sport by the NHS - and now his sights are set on competing at a future Paralympics.
Ben, now 13, says: "It has turned out really well. All my PE teachers like it that I've got a prosthetic leg and that I'm still doing sport. They say I have a lot of grit and zest!"
He was fitted with his new blade just before Christmas and switches between that and his other prosthetic leg depending on what he is doing.
"Ben has been empowered by his blade," says Clare. "We hope it will give him a level playing field so he can compete with his peers and participate in more sports with a lighter prosthetic."
Clare adds that although she was able to make an attachment for Ben's disordered right leg as he was growing up, it was not possible to include the sort of components that could give him a spring in his step.
After three weeks practising with the blade, Ben returned to Clare's treatment room at Brighton General Hospital and tried jogging, running and playing indoor tennis.
He has also just taken on his able-bodied cousin in a straight race and won.
"The blade feels good," says Ben. "The spring of it is the bit that makes me go faster."
"I wanted the blade to do more running, so I didn't have to stick with cricket and stuff like that to do with upper body. I wanted to do more things with my lower body, run faster and get a bit more speed in football."
There are about 1,500 children in England who have lost all or part of a limb and 1,100 of them either lack a leg or have one which does not work properly.
It is the first time the NHS has fitted some of them - in Brighton, North Cumbria and Luton - with false legs especially designed for sport.
While Ben has his blade, a child from Cumbria has been given a water limb called a "swim fin" which will make swimming with friends possible.
The £1.5m programme is intended to help what the NHS says will be "several hundred" children each year.
The cost of a blade, together with the follow-up training and assessment, is estimated at around £1,000, but it could be several times that amount in the private sector.
Clare says that by preserving the health of the children who get prostheses, the scheme could actually save money.
She says it also supports the health service's campaign to encourage healthy lifestyles among children.
"I don't like the idea that there are a lot of obese children and couch potatoes. I like to think that I have given (Ben) the blade and that he will show to other children that if he can do it, then everyone can do it. Sport is for everyone, not just a small elite."
Ben's mother Kathleen is proud of her son's determination to play different sports, which have also included touch rugby.
"He's been up against it," she says, "but despite everything he fought back and he's a little fighter to this day. Now he's got the blade, the sky's the limit."
Don't bet against seeing Ben competing for Great Britain in a future Games.
The latest decklift means the remaining gap is about 50m - the equivalent of an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
The next stage of work involves using ballast and adjusting cables to ensure the height is aligned and ready for the final closure of the two sections.
Work on the final stage is set for January with the bridge connecting Edinburgh and Fife due to open in May.
Economy Secretary Keith Brown said: "Connecting all three of the Queensferry Crossing towers, from Fife right over to the south deck fan is another example of the good progress being made on the project.
"Despite the huge size and weight of the units being lifted, lifting them into place is a very precise operation.
"This is truly world class engineering taking place to bridge the Firth of Forth for the third time in consecutive centuries.
"Successfully building the new bridge and the road network requires careful planning and delivery of over 10,000 operations.
"The workforce continue to do an excellent job in often very tough conditions."
Michael Martin, Forth Crossing Bridge Constructors (FCBC) project director, said: "In total, we will have four principal deck closures on the Queensferry Crossing.
"Earlier this year, we closed the gap between the North Tower deck span and the northern approach viaduct.
"Then, in October, we achieved closure between the Centre and South Tower deck spans.
"We have now lifted the Centre Tower/North Tower closure section into place and work is on-going to fix it permanently into position.
"We are continuing to make considerable progress on the project as a whole. In fact, for the first time we can say that the three towers and their decks are now connected directly to Fife.
"The focus now is on achieving the technically challenging final closure between the South Tower and the southern approach viaduct which is planned for early in the new year."
Bordered by Sudan, Ethiopia and Djibouti, it occupies a strategic area in the Horn of Africa but remains one of the most secretive states in the world.
Tensions with Ethiopia remain high across a closed and heavily fortified border. The perceived threat of war is said to have been used by the government to clamp down on society.
Eritrea is a one-party state, and its 1997 constitution - which provided for the existence of multi-party politics - has never been fully implemented. Military conscription is mandatory and indefinite, according to Amnesty International.
Prolonged periods of conflict and severe drought have adversely affected Eritrea's agriculture-based economy and it remains one of the poorest countries in Africa.
In a damning report into human rights abuses, the UN accused the government of crimes against humanity. By UN estimates, hundreds of thousands of Eritreans have fled the country in recent years, making the perilous journey across the Sahara and the Mediterranean to Europe.

President: Isaias Afewerki
President Isaias Afewerki has governed Eritrea since it became an independent country in 1993. His People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDF) is the sole political party.
Presidential elections planned for 1997 never took place and a constitution ratified in the same year has never been implemented.
Mr Isaias has been criticised for failing to introduce democratic reforms.
Born in 1946 in Asmara, Mr Isaias studied engineering at the University of Addis Ababa but left in 1966 to join the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF).
In 1970 he co-founded the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) and in 1987 was elected its secretary-general. When the EPLF defeated Ethiopian forces in 1991, Mr Isaias was appointed head of a provisional government.
Following the 1993 vote on independence, he was elected president of Eritrea and chairman of the National Assembly, giving him control of both executive and legislative branches of government.
Media beyond the state-sanctioned newspapers and TV are non-existent. International journalists are routinely refused access. Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) in its 2015 World Press Freedom Index placed Eritrea last behind North Korea.
Outlets run by Eritreans overseas - mainly in Europe, North America and Australia - provide alternative sources of information but their reach and influence inside Eritrea are limited, not least because of very low levels of internet access.
Some key dates in Eritrea's history:
300-600 - Present-day Eritrea forms part of the kingdom of Aksum.
1889-1941 - Italy colonises Eritrea.
1941-52 - British forces occupy and take over administration of Eritrea.
1952 - UN establishes Eritrea as an autonomous region within Ethiopia.
1961 - Ethiopia annexes Eritrea, triggering a 30-year war.
1991 - Eritrean People's Liberation Front wins war of independence, assisted by Ethiopian rebels who together with their Eritrean allies succeed in toppling Ethiopian President Mengistu Haile Mariam.
1993 - Eritrea votes for independence from Ethiopia in a UN-sponsored referendum and gains international recognition.
1997 - New constitution is drawn up but never implemented.
1998-2000 - Border war with Ethiopia. Tens of thousands are reportedly killed.
2009 - UN imposes sanctions on Eritrea for its alleged support of Islamist insurgents in Somalia.
2015 - UN report accuses the Eritrean government of crimes against humanity.
Every year on the 25 August his mind fills up with vivid memories of a night as a teenager which he was lucky to survive.
And memories return of all the friends he lost in a fateful minute and a half.
As a 16-year-old, he joined the Merchant Navy and found himself a place as a deck cadet aboard the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company's ship, the Pecten.
He was among crew in August 1940 when it was part of an Atlantic convoy bringing precious wartime fuel oil from the Caribbean back to Britain.
But engine problems meant it was straggling behind the other vessels as it got close to the west coast of Scotland and that proved to be a fatal situation.
"We managed to keep up with them right across but we lost a bit of speed when we came into The Minch," said Mr Carruthers.
"We were about two miles behind the convoy - so we were a sitting duck."
It was a shot which the U-boat U-57 would not miss.
"The ship just moved sideways - it was funny, there was very little noise," Mr Carruthers recalled.
"Sitting in the saloon you just felt the whole ship move sideways and she got two torpedoes in her.
"You realised you had been hit but you did not know how badly."
However, everyone on board - including the young man from Dumfries and Galloway - realised they needed to act quickly.
"My action station was the bridge and the other boys all headed for the cabins to get the emergency gear they had stowed," he said.
"They just got trapped because she sank so quickly that the water would have come in on them."
The teenager found his path to the bridge blocked by a "wall of fire", so he tried another route.
"I got to the captain's cabin - his last order to me was to cut away the starboard lifeboat," he remembered.
"I tried to cut away the lifeboat but by this time I was up to my knees in water.
"I realised that she was sinking very quickly and my life jacket had got caught."
Only by freeing himself from the jacket was he able to get off the ship and fight his way to the surface of the water.
"I knew I had a chance of being picked up because there was a rescue ship allocated to the convoy," he said.
"Whether I could last long enough before I got picked up I didn't know.
"I became a very good swimmer that night."
He reckons he had to stay afloat about three hours before he was eventually found, picked up and ultimately landed in Belfast.
Records show that he was one of just eight survivors from a crew of 57.
"She sank so quickly and rolled that it put the fire out - I was lucky," he said.
"If it hadn't put the fire out I would have burned.
"I later learned from other ships that they reckon from start to finish - from the time she got hit to the time she disappeared - was a minute and a half."
Mr Carruthers went back to sea just a few months later and several more times during the war before being medically discharged.
He received the Atlantic Star and the 1939 to 1945 Star for his efforts during the conflict.
And now, aged 91 at his home in Carrutherstown, he still remembers the night he was lucky to live through.
"What saved me was doing my duty," he said.
"If I had tried to save myself or save anything from my cabin I would have been a goner.
"My job was on the bridge and I tried to get there and that is what saved me."
His voice cracks a little with emotion, though, when he remembers his friends who were not so lucky.
"I lost every mate," he said. "And I lost a very good captain."
Concussion focuses on real-life whistle-blower Dr Bennet Omalu (Smith) and his confrontation with the NFL.
Omalu was implicit in diagnosing CTE, a degenerative brain disease arising from repeated head trauma - a condition which the NFL sought to cover up.
But Sony claims "nothing... has been 'softened' to placate anyone".
Earlier this week, the New York Times published a story stating that emails leaked last autumn, during the hack on Sony Pictures, apparently show the film was amended to avoid upsetting the powerful NFL.
"In dozens of studio emails unearthed by hackers, Sony executives; the director, Peter Landesman; and representatives of Mr. Smith discussed how to avoid antagonizing [sic] the N.F.L. by altering the script and marketing the film more as a whistle-blower story, rather than a condemnation of football or the league," wrote Ken Belson, in the New York Times on Tuesday.
'Hard-hitting'
On Thursday, Sony issued a statement calling the Times story "misleading", adding that journalist had not actually seen the film - due out in December.
"As will become immediately clear to anyone actually seeing the movie, nothing with regard to this important story has been 'softened' to placate anyone,'' the statement read.
"We always intended to make an entertaining, hard-hitting film about Dr. Omalu's David-and-Goliath story, which played out like a Hollywood thriller,'' said the film's director, Landesman, in a further statement to the Associated Press.
"Anyone who sees the movie will know that it never once compromises the integrity and the power of the real story."
Leaked emails published during the film's production last year suggest a degree of concern over the NFL's reaction to the film, with an independent consultant hired to deal with the organisation.
In early July 2014, Sony executive Hannah Minghella said, in a leaked email, that "rather than portray the NFL as one corrupt organization, can we identify the individuals within the NFL who were guilty of denying/covering up the truth."
The same month, former Sony Pictures boss, Amy Pascal, cautioned in an email: "We need to know exactly what we can and can't do and if this is a 'true' story or not. I know these can be dicey waters but none more than this one."
Accuracy
Director Landesman has acknowledged that a scene featuring NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was cut from the film.
Another email - from Sony chairman Michael Lynton - highlighted that Sony lawyer Aimee Wolfson "took out most of the bite for legal reasons with the NFL".
An email from Doug Belgrad, president of Sony's motion picture unit, in October last year reiterated the importance of fact-checking: "If we fudge or embellish the NFL's actions on this issue, it could compromise the success of our pic,'' he wrote.
The recently released trailer for Concussion portrays the NFL as a foreboding opponents, telling Omalu - "You're going to war with a corporation that owns a day of the week.''
The NFL which, in recent years, has donated millions of dollars to study the effects of concussion and develop treatment, has not publicly commented on the film's stance, limiting its statement to the health issues raised in the film.
"We are encouraged by the ongoing focus on the critical issue of player health and safety.. we have no higher priority. We all know more about this issue than we did 10 or 20 years ago. As we continue to learn more, we apply those learnings to make our game and players safer."
"My fifth album from now will follow 21. There's nothing I can do about it."
In her forthcoming interview with Graham Norton, to be screened on BBC One this Friday, she admits she nearly gave up music altogether.
"I just got really worried that I was never going to make anything that anyone liked again."
"I started to wonder if 21, being so successful, was enough for everyone," she says. "But I realised it wasn't enough for me. So, sorry, I'm here to make your ears bleed again."
So how does 25 shape up? Well, your ears won't bleed, but your tear ducts are going to get a workout.
It opens with the enormous, bombastic Hello - already a million-seller, but by far the most Adele-by-numbers track on the record.
When We Were Young is the real centrepiece, and a future standard. A soaring anthem about a chance meeting with an ex, it achieves the same intoxicating balance between regret and hope as Someone Like You, without sounding like a facsimile.
"You look like a movie, you sound like a song," she sings to her former flame. "My God, this reminds me of when we were young."
With that lyric, Adele introduces the record's key theme - her uneasy acceptance of adulthood.
"I feel like my life is flashing by - and all I can do is watch and cry," she sings on the mournful guitar ballad Million Years Ago. "I miss when life was a party to be thrown - but that was a million years ago."
Getting older also allows the star to re-examine her past relationships - but the angry, heartbroken woman who wrote 21 is now in a more reflective mood.
On Send My Love (To Your New Lover), she trills: "I'm giving you up. I'm forgiving it all. Send my love to your new lover... Treat her better."
A nimble pop song, produced by Taylor Swift and Britney Spears's hitman Max Martin, its playground chant of a chorus shows a fresh, playful side to the star.
We also get our first glimpse of Adele in seduction mode on I Miss You - a submerged, sparse groove, over which the singer purrs: "Treat me soft but touch me cruel. I want to teach you things you never knew."
Those two tracks, in particular, find the 27-year-old reinvigorated and willing to deviate from formula - and it's no accident they're programmed as the second and third tracks on the record.
Other highlights include the swampy River Lea, produced by Danger Mouse, and the closing track, Sweetest Devotion, in which Adele finally finds an unshakeable love: Her three-year-old son, Angelo ("There is something in your loving that tears down my walls," she sings, adoringly).
Despite emergency surgery in 2012, the star's vocals are undiminished, conveying sorrow, joy, sincerity and warmth, often in the space of a single phrase. And the A-list hitmakers who populate the record wisely build the songs around her presence.
Not every track is perfect - Water Under The Bridge throws half a dozen overlapping hooks at the wall, only to find none of them sticks - but, overall, the record is a worthy successor to 21.
Unlike Michael Jackson, who spent his career chasing the success of Thriller, Adele has avoided the temptation to make a "grand statement" with her follow-up.
Instead, she sounds relaxed, conversational and inspired, on a set of songs that come straight from the heart.
25 is released on Friday, 20 November, on XL Recordings.
Cookstown will have a second chance to go up when they meet UCD in a further play-off to decide the final place in the national league next Sunday.
Fergus Gibson and Craig Getty netted to put Annadale 2-0 up and after Ryan Millar's reply, Oli Brown made it 3-1.
Ireland star Peter Caruth set up two of Annadale's goals in Dublin.
Annadale went ahead in the 31st minute when Gibson converted a rebound after Caruth's initial shot had been saved.
Caruth was again the provider as Craig Getty made it 2-0 on the stroke of half-time.
Ryan Millar pulled one back two minutes after the break but Oli Brown's 48th minute insurance goal clinched Annadale's promotion after they were relegated last season.
In the women's round-robin event, Lurgan finished runners-up and will now face Belfast Harlequins in a further play-off next Sunday to determine which team holds down the last available place in the national league next season.
Lurgan needed a draw between Trinity and Old Alex in the final game to secure an automatic place in the top flight but the students beat their local rivals 2-0 to earn promotion.
Earlier in the day Carly Johnston scored both goals for the Ulster champions in 1-1 draws with UCC and Old Alex.
Jane Haining's jewellery was analysed by expert John Benjamin for a special episode of the programme to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.
Her relatives had believed that the ring originated in Scotland.
However, Mr Benjamin said that on closer examination it carried an Austro-Hungarian stamp and might have been given to her as a gift.
Ms Haining - from Dunscore in Dumfries and Galloway - was arrested by the Nazis while looking after Jewish girls at the Scottish Mission School in Budapest.
She died in Auschwitz in 1944, aged 47.
The ring was shown to Mr Benjamin by her two nieces, Deirdre McDowell and Jane McIvor, from Northern Ireland.
"Someone, probably in gratitude for the extraordinary kindness, gave her the garnet ring," he said.
He described it as "something of a lightning conductor" linking the present day with the "redoubtable woman".
"I am very privileged to see it," he added.
The BBC One programme was filmed at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London.
In a break from tradition, the BBC decided not to put a value on the artefacts that featured on the programme.
The number was lower than expected and is a sharp slowdown from December, when 292,000 jobs were added.
Job losses in transport and education weighed on the numbers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said.
Last week, figures showed that US economic growth slowed to an annual rate 0.7% in the final three months of 2015, from 2% in the previous quarter.
Trading on Wall Street suggests investors are concerned that the slowdown in job creation could be a further sign of a weakening US economy. The main Dow Jones closed down 215 points, or 1.3%, at 16.201.75.
But some analysts focused on the positive - that weaker job numbers meant another rise in interest rates was unlikely for now.
"I'm a little surprised the markets reacted somewhat negatively to it," said Sean Lynch at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute.
"It is actually a pretty good number that should be welcomed by the equity markets, it takes some of the concern the Fed moves too quickly off the table a little bit."
President Obama highlighted the low unemployment rate as he plugged aspects of his spending bill to be proposed next week. He plans to push for greater investment in clean energy, where jobs growth has been strong.
The president acknowledged that there was still anxiety among Americans, but said the US economy was "stronger and more durable" then before the financial crisis.
Retailing saw the highest number of jobs created in January, at 58,000, with healthcare adding 37,000 and manufacturing 29,000.
Some 39,000 jobs were lost in private education services, however, with a further 20,000 lost in transport and warehousing.
The net job creation pushed the unemployment rate below 5% - where it had stood for the previous three months - to its lowest level since early 2008.
The labour participation rate was unchanged, suggesting fewer people are dropping out of the labour market - a key problem during the financial crisis.
The average hourly rate rose by 12 cents, or 0.5%, to $25.39, which Greg Anderson at BMO Capital Markets described as "shockingly good".
The shop on Beach Road in Hemsby erupted into flames on Friday.
The building was completely gutted and other nearby premises were damaged.
Mike Peake, vice chairman of the parish council, said: "It's devastating for all the people here. I think it's an absolute disaster for Hemsby."
He added: "It's a blot on the landscape after the disaster in 2013 when the sea took the chalets all away. What more can happen in Hemsby?
"It'll be weeks before the smoke smell and everything else goes away from here."
At its height 45 firefighters tackled the chip shop blaze after it started in a deep fat fryer.
It was eventually damped down on Friday evening, leaving the shop as just a shell.
Hemsby felt the full brunt of the winter tidal surge two years ago when a number of homes and its lifeboat station were swept into the sea.
Since then the community has been raising funds to improve coastal defences.
Mr Peake said he was pleased holidaymakers were in the village, but did not think there were as many at this time of year as there should be.
Local business owners told the BBC the chip shop and its adjoining restaurant had just undergone an 18-month refurbishment.
Barry Cunniffe, who owns a nearby shop, said: "We're fortunate, we're saved, we'll have damage in the sense of smoke but that's all recoverable. It's a devastating loss to the [chip shop] owner.
"Every trader along here has lost a day's trading and I'm sure it will be affected in the days to come."
His death meant Friday's showing of Mack and Mabel at the Theatre Royal was cancelled.
His agent tweeted: "The talented and much loved actor @GianniniAlex died suddenly of natural causes yesterday."
Actress Anna Marie Cseh said on Twitter it was a "real pleasure and privilege" to work with him.
Giannini, 52, also appeared in Elizabeth: The Golden Age and Miss Monday, and featured in TV shows such as The Bill and Dalziel and Pascoe.
Agents Felix de Wolfe added: "An incredible life force has left the building."
Stephanie Sirr, chief executive of Nottingham Playhouse tweeted: "Shocking, terrible news. A lovely man with incredible zest for life. A great performer."
The performance on Friday evening was cancelled about an hour before the curtain was due to rise.
David Bloom, of the Chichester Festival Theatre production company, said: "There has been a company bereavement and so the performance tonight has had to be cancelled."
All remaining performances would go ahead as scheduled, the theatre said.
The theatre wrote on Facebook: "Thank you to everyone who was affected by last night's cancellation, for your patience and understanding."
Theatregoer Debbie Lumsden said on the same Facebook page: "Very sad news which was handled with great sensitivity by all the staff at the Theatre Royal last night."
Doctors at Glasgow's Beatson cancer centre spoke out in May amid a shake-up in services linked to the opening of the city's new south side hospital.
Their concerns were looked at by Healthcare Improvement Scotland.
It now wants NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to agree a new model of care for critically ill patients.
It also said that the NHS board should work to rebuild trust with senior staff.
More than 50 professors and consultants at the Beatson warned that patients could be put at risk by proposed changes to services.
Doctors claimed the changes would leave inadequate staffing in the event of emergencies.
They wrote to the health secretary in May to say the situation was "desperate" and called for action.
Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) said it established an inquiry team to look at the concerns and held a number of meetings with the health board and key staff.
It has now recommended that:
Robbie Pearson, director of scrutiny and assurance for HIS, said: "The Beatson is a world class centre of excellence for cancer care.
"The redesign of Glasgow's acute services is amongst the most substantial and complex in any hospital service within Europe.
"There is work to be done to make this an even more effective service that provides the best quality of care for patients."
He added: "We are confident that our recommendations will be used by the NHS board to provide guidance and support for those working in the Beatson to help them deliver the necessary improvements."
NHS GGC said it accepted HIS's recommendations and would work with management and staff at the Beatson to make sure they were implemented.
Dr Jennifer Armstrong, medical director at NHS GGC, said: "We welcome the report of the inquiry team and the opportunity this provides for NHS GGC management team and consultants at the Beatson to move forward in a constructive way.
"We are pleased that the inquiry has found that the High Acuity Unit is effective and a positive and welcome development which has improved the treatment of acutely unwell patients and also those whose condition is deteriorating.
"All those involved - our oncology doctors and nurses, our critical care doctors and nurses and the Beatson management team - reported to the inquiry that the unit is working well and providing a high quality of service to patients. Patient feedback has also been very positive."
Dr Armstrong added: "Our monitoring and review of the service has shown that it was safe four months ago when it was introduced and remains safe today.
"We do accept however that, while our arrangements are safe and patient care has not been compromised, we can do more to mitigate any risks of introducing this new way of working.
"We are fully committed to making these improvements in partnership with our clinical colleagues."
It becomes the fourth airline this week to announce the electronics ban has been lifted on US-bound flights.
The US imposed the ban in March on direct flights from eight mainly Muslim countries to address fears that bombs could be concealed in the devices.
Qatar Airways and its Doha hub airport said they had strengthened security.
The airline said that "with immediate effect, all personal electronic devices can be carried on board all departures from Hamad International Airport to destinations in the United States".
It comes after Etihad, Turkish Airlines and Emirates announced that the ban had been lifted on their US flights.
The airlines and their respective hub airports have worked with US authorities to increase their security checks.
Morocco, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are yet to announce the ban has been lifted.
Last week, US Homeland Security announced measures including enhanced screening, more thorough vetting of passengers and the wider use of bomb-sniffer dogs for US-bound flights from 105 countries.
Airlines expressed hopes at the time that the measures would pave the way for the lifting of the electronics ban.
Saudia, the flagship carrier for Saudi Arabia, said this week that passengers would be able to take the electronics on US flights from 19 July.
The elevation of the 43-year-old Indian origin American to CEO of Google is making waves across Indian media and social media outlets, with many seeing his rise as nothing less than a triumph for the country.
Mr Pichai was born and schooled in Chennai (formerly Madras), in south India.
Among the latest to congratulate Mr Pichai was Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who tweeted at him from his personal account.
The tag #Alphabet was one of the top trends in the Indian twittersphere following Google's announcement, but most of the tweets centred around Mr Pichai. Even the usually staid state broadcast channel Doordarshan could barely contain its excitement:
Other media channels followed suit, quickly pushing out profiles and factoids about the new Google CEO for the consumption of an excited public. And India's Twitter has been awash with tweets like these:
There were also these:
According to a profile in Bloomberg magazine, Mr Pichai's upbringing was humble. His family lived in a two room apartment. He didn't have a room - he slept on the living room floor, as did his younger brother.
The family didn't own a television, or a car.
After graduating from IIT Kharagpur, he was offered a scholarship at Stanford, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Mr Pichai's appointment has also reportedly triggered an online Wikipedia war in India, with the battleground being his school.
According to the Indian news website The News Minute, "Soon after his name hit the web as the new CEO, his Wikipedia page was witnessing nothing short of a web-war, with people altering his Wikipedia page to change the name of the school he studied in his hometown in Chennai. The surgery on his page, we believe, was motivated by (presumably) alumni wanting their schools to get the credit for grooming Google's top executive from India."
Wilson, 26, played for Super Rugby side Highlanders earlier in 2016 and will join the Premiership club after Otago's Mitre 10 Cup competition concludes.
Born in New Zealand, he has played international rugby sevens for England and New Zealand, and joined Saracens in December 2012 from Bay of Plenty.
His Otago teammate Paul Grant also signed for Bath on 30 September.
"Jack will be a fantastic addition to the squad. He's very fit from his time with the England Sevens squad," Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder told the club website.
The museum is marking 15 years since its first Bollywood statue was created.
Kaif, the daughter of a British mother and a Kashmiri father, will be at the museum in London on Saturday for the unveiling, Madame Tussauds said.
Kaif made her debut in Bollywood in 2003 with Boom and has become one of the most sought after actresses in India, correspondents say.
For the wax statue, a team of about 20 sculptors and artists worked with the actress over four months - hundreds of measurements were taken and the museum said the statue cost £150,000 ($222,297).
In the wax model, Kaif will be in a dancing pose and dressed in a sequined outfit, BBC Hindi's Vandana, who uses only one name, reports.
Madame Tussauds unveiled its first Bollywood figure of superstar Amitabh Bachchan in 2000 when it asked the public to vote for an Indian actor who deserved a place in the museum.
Voted superstar of the millennium in a BBC Poll in 1999, Bachchan is worshipped by millions of fans in India and abroad.
Former Miss World and now Bollywood screen goddess Aishwarya Rai is often counted among the most beautiful women in the world.
Rai has worked in dozens of hit films and won several awards for her performances. She also starred in English-language films Pride and Prejudice and Pink Panther.
Her sari-clad wax model was unveiled in 2004.
Superstar Shahrukh Khan attended the unveiling of his model in 2007 and posed next to it.
Khan appeared pleased with the likeness and told the BBC: "What I like most are my eyes."
Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan's wax figure was unveiled in 2011 and soon became among the most kissed statues at Madame Tussauds, according to reports.
The star of hit films like Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, Dhoom2, Krrish and Jodha Akbar visited the statue along with his wife and children.
Award-winning actress Madhuri Dixit's likeness was unveiled in 2012.
The museum said they commissioned her statue as they were "constantly inundated with requests" to feature her by her fans around the world.
Palmer, 21, has featured in all four of Burton's matches so far this season and has made a total of 110 appearances for the Championship club.
"He's certainly a big part of our plans," boss Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby.
"He was one of those we thought might actually find it better in the Championship with better players around him and a bit more time on the ball."
Palmer, who made his first-team debut for Burton in 2012, was not a first-team regular last season and spent part of the second half of the campaign on loan at Oldham.
"It's been a big turnaround for him. He's only young as well - he's 21 and there's plenty of time," Clough added.
"He's probably our most comfortable player on the ball. He gets moves started up and can play anywhere in midfield.
"He has to be better on the defensive side, but he did some work in the gym in the summer and we've seen the (physical) difference."
Jesse Richards, originally from Gloucester, died at Cleeve Prior in Evesham, Worcestershire, on 31 July 2009.
Five men were jailed in 2012 over the death of the 40-year-old father-of-three, who lived in Surrey, but his body was never recovered.
West Mercia Police said they believe his remains were taken to Warwickshire.
A £10,000 reward is on offer for anyone with information that leads to the recovery of the body.
Lucy Richards said she hoped someone would come forward and help find her son.
"If they could for one minute put themselves in my place they would know the heartache I am feeling and have felt for the last seven years," she said.
Supt Mark Loader, from West Midlands Police, urged people to "consider the pain" the Richards family endures.
He said: "His killers have been brought to justice for their crimes. However, his family continue to suffer and we want to give them the opportunity to lay Jesse to rest."

The Englishman, 28, won his first major by three shots on five under to become the first British victor in 20 years.
Overnight leader Spieth, 22, led by five shots as he approached the 10th at Augusta, but the American dramatically dropped six shots in three holes.
He ended with a one-over 73, tying for second with England's Lee Westwood.
Westwood's three-under-par 69 gave him his second Masters runners-up finish on two under, with Paul Casey, another Englishman, one shot further back in a tie for fourth.
Spieth will be left ruing a remarkable collapse on the iconic par-three 12th.
He twice found the water in front of the green as he carded a quadruple bogey seven - to follow successive bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes.
That catapulted Sheffield's Willett, who was playing the par-five 15th, into the outright lead - a lead that he would not relinquish after signing for the joint-lowest round of the final day.
Willett is one of the golf's rising stars, having climbed from outside the top 100 to inside the top 10 in less than two years.
But few would have predicted a first major win in only his second appearance on the unforgiving Augusta course, especially because his participation at the Masters had been in doubt, with wife Nicole due to give birth on the final day.

However, the early arrival of baby Zachariah meant Willett, who said he would have stayed at home if his son had not been born, was able to play.
Willett lay three shots adrift of Spieth on level par going into Sunday after opening rounds of 70, 74 and 72.
But he moved to within a stroke with a birdie at the eighth, his eagle putt just coming up short, on his way to a front-nine 34.
Three successive pars from the 10th and birdies on the 13th and 14th saw him move into the lead as Spieth stumbled.
A further birdie on the par-three 16th kept him clear of the field as he completed one of only two bogey-free final rounds.
The world number 12, who rises to ninth after this win, received a standing ovation as he walked towards the 18th green, on the verge of emulating fellow Englishman Nick Faldo, who won his third and final Green Jacket in 1996.
There was still a nervous wait for Willett though with Spieth needing to birdie the last two holes to force a play-off.
However, the Texan bogeyed the par-four 17th after finding a greenside bunker with his approach, allowing Willett to start his celebrations early.
Spieth was given a sympathetic reception as he trudged towards the clubhouse after a par four on the last but it was no consolation for the emotional two-time major winner.
As Masters tradition dictates, the world number two then had to help Willett into the Green Jacket.

"It's been crazy," said Willett. "You can't really describe the emotions and feelings.
"We all try to play good golf and someone has to win. Fortunately today it was my day. It was a very surreal day when you look back at the ebbs and flows."
Spieth was aiming to become only the fourth back-to-back winner at Augusta.
He stood on the 10th tee with a five-shot lead after four straight birdies, only to see that advantage dwindle to one by the time he walked onto the 12th.
Dropped shots at the 10th and 11th, coupled with birdies for Willett just ahead on the 13th and 14th, resulted in a four-shot swing.
Then came Spieth's remarkable meltdown at the 12th.

The world number two planted his tee shot into into Rae's Creek, then clubbed a heavy second attempt into the water, before hitting his fifth shot into the bunker at the back of the green.
He managed to get up and down in two shots from there, but the damage was done.
"It was just a lack of discipline coming off the two bogeys instead of realising I was still leading the Masters by a couple of shots," said Spieth.
"I have no doubt about my ability to close majors, I just think it was a very tough 30 minutes that hopefully I don't experience again."
Willett was not the only Englishman to impress in the final round.
Westwood, who also finished second in 2010, moved into contention with three birdies before the turn.
An chip-in eagle on the par-five 15th put the former world number one, 42, within a shot of Willett, only for a bogey on the next and two final pars to leave him short.
Former Ryder Cup player Paul Casey and young Yorkshireman Matt Fitzpatrick, the only two in the 57-man field to match Willett's final-round 67, finished tied fourth and tied seventh respectively.
Justin Rose, the 2013 US Open champion, finished in a tie for 10th on one over, alongside Northern Ireland's four-time major winner Rory McIlroy and Australia's world number one Jason Day.
McIlroy started the week bidding to become only the sixth man to win all four majors, but his chances of overhauling the rest of the field were slim after a third-round 77 left him five shots adrift of the lead.
The Northern Irishman then bogeyed the first after pushing a nervy opening tee-shot right into the trees.
The world number three, 26, birdied the third to go back level but slipped back again with dropped shots on the next two holes.
He finished with a scrappy round of 71 thanks to seven birdies and six bogeys.

"This is the one that I haven't won and this is the one I want to win more than anything else," said the former Open, US PGA and US Open champion.
"Once I overcome that mental hurdle that I'm struggling with at the minute, then I know how to play this course."
German veteran Bernhard Langer, whose only major wins came at Augusta in 1985 and 1993, began two shots off the lead and dreaming of becoming the oldest major champion by a decade.
But the 58-year-old former world number one made a nightmare start, bogeying the first and dropping two more on the third.
Four more bogeys left him tied 24th.
It was a more memorable day for Ireland's Shane Lowry, US Ryder Cup captain Davis Love and 2010 Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, who all claimed holes-in-one on the par-three 16th.

Jane Hutt told BBC Sunday Politics Wales that a funding deal offered by the coalition does not provide enough certainty for public spending in Wales.
She echoed comments of the first minister who said a promise of fair funding was short on detail.
David Cameron has pledged to protect the Welsh budget which ministers in Cardiff have long been demanding.
But the amount of money on offer will not be known until the next UK government spending review, due after the general election.
Instead of solely relying on an annual grant from the Treasury, the prime minister wants the Welsh government to raise some of its own budget through taxes.
He says the promise of a "funding floor" - designed to stop the Welsh budget being squeezed by the Barnett formula - means there is now no reason to delay a referendum on giving the Welsh government some powers to vary income tax.
But Mrs Hutt said the coalition could have gone further by offering more detail on the terms of the funding floor, "but they didn't. They took us for granted and they can't do that."
She added: "This is not about being told at the last minute 'We'll give you this, you do that'.
"That is not about an agreement. That is not about a respect agenda."
She said that if the Welsh government got "that reassurance, that clarity we can sign up to it, then of course you could consider beginning to make a start in terms of considering tax devolution".
The figures - from the Office for National Statistics - are for the first full month after the Brexit vote.
They show that he average house price across the UK in July rose to £217,000.
The eastern region of England remains the area with the fastest growing prices. The annual rate of inflation there was 13.2% .
Prices in London grew at 12.3%, although they fell in parts of Central London, like Hammersmith and Fulham.
Earlier this month the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) said that the UK housing market had settled down after the Brexit vote.
There was a sharp drop in the number of sales immediately following the referendum result.
Surveyors now expect prices to continue to rise by an average of 3.3% a year for the next five years.
However other economists have predicted a decline of up to 5% in house prices next year.

The company narrowly missed demotion in the last quarterly reshuffles in June and September.
The Bradford-based chain had been in the list for more than 14 years but its share price has tumbled in line with falling sales.
Its share price has fallen around 17% this year.
It currently has a market capitalisation of around £3.51bn.
The final decision on Morrisons demotion was made by the London Stock Exchange by the end of trading on Wednesday based on the previous day's closing price.
The move into the FTSE 250 is likely to trigger share sales by tracker funds which only follow the UK's biggest companies.
Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell wrote: "Morrisons' check-out from the FTSE 100 after fourteen and a half years shows the importance of pricing power.
"German discounters have come in and undercut the established big grocery chains, while the internet and changes in shopping habits have also altered the industry landscape ...More than 14 years is a good stint in the FTSE 100 and it is worth noting that only around 30 of 1984's original constituents are still in the benchmark index, showing just how tough life can be at the top."
Other companies which have fallen out of the FTSE 100 include the security group G4S and the engineering group, Meggitt.
The new intake were also announced and include the payment processor, Worldpay, Provident Financial and Irish Services Company, DCC.
Morrisons' new chief executive, David Potts has been trying to turn the supermarket group's fortunes around in a tough trading environment.
Last month it announced a 2.6% drop in sales for the three months to November, prompting a further fall in its share price.
In March, the company reported a 52% drop in annual profits to £345m, its worst results in eight years.
Morrisons is the fourth-largest supermarket chain, trailing Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda in annual sales.
Its struggles reflect wider problems within the sector, which has seen price wars among the big four supermarket chains following the growth of discount chains such as Aldi and Lidl.
In September, Morrisons announced it was selling 140 loss-making "M" local convenience stores in a £25m deal and closing 11 stores, as it sought to concentrate on larger sites. | An 85-year-old American jewel thief who has been on a stealing spree for more than 60 years has been charged with theft again.

Dougal went missing from his Chelmsford home about ten days ago, prompting Hannah Butcher and Darren Brown to put up posters "absolutely everywhere".

The woman, who had been washing the dishes at the time, was stopped in her tracks when she spotted the "huge cat with leopard-like markings and no tail".
She told the newspaper she wanted to warn other pet owners and parents of small children about the "jungle cat" that had reduced her pet terrier to a "whimpering" wreck.
After the Mirror also picked up the story of Broomfield's "beast", Mr Brown said: "We have been inundated with calls from people who know him, or received our flyer, convinced that our Dougal is the 'Beast of Broomfield'."
However, Miss Butcher was quick to dismiss the wild cat theory.
"How many cats can there be with such distinctive markings and no tail? It's just my domestic Bengal," she said.
"All I want is to have Dougal back home."

News of the move, which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2015, sent eBay's shares 7.5% higher.
It is a reversal of strategy for the company, which has previously resisted pressure to split. However, the boss John Donahoe said the logic for running the companies jointly had changed.
PayPal's revenues are growing at 19% a year, twice as quickly as eBay's.
Its payment system is available in 203 markets worldwide and is expected to process one billion mobile payments this year.
PayPal's annual revenue is $7.2bn (£4.5bn), while eBay's is $9.9bn and is growing at 10% a year.
"A thorough strategic review... shows that keeping eBay and PayPal together beyond 2015 clearly becomes less advantageous to each business strategically and competitively," EBay's chief executive John Donahoe said.
Earlier this year the activist investor Carl Icahn began pressing for eBay to sell PayPal, a plan that was resisted by the eBay board. He stopped pushing after failing to gain enough support.
"We are happy that eBay's board and management have acted responsibly concerning the separation - perhaps a little later than they should have, but earlier than we expected," said Mr Icahn in a statement on Tuesday.
He added the separation will "meaningfully enhance value for all shareholders".
Analysts cheered the move, because it is seen as strengthening PayPal's position as more e-payment systems, such as Apple Pay and Alibaba's Alipay, enter the marketplace.
"Breaking off from eBay will provide PayPal with more autonomy to compete in the payments space, particularly with respect to Apple Pay and other emerging mobile wallet providers," wrote online advertising analytics firm eMarketer in a note.
EMarketer estimates that in the US, mobile payments using smartphones will reach $3.5bn in 2014 and then balloon to $118bn by 2018.
EBay bought PayPal in 2002 for $1.5bn, and the payments company is now eBay's fastest-growing business, with 143 million active users at the end of 2013, up 16% from a year earlier.
PayPal's new president and chief executive will be the current American Express co-executive Dan Schulman.
Meanwhile, Devin Wenig, currently president of eBay Marketplaces, will become the new chief executive of eBay.
The holders were knocked out of the World Cup on Wednesday after chastening defeats by the Netherlands and Chile.
But Jorge Perez, Spain's director of football, told Spanish radio: "If he does resign, we will try to convince him to stay."
Del Bosque said: "If I am a problem for our football, I will go."

He added: "The interests of the national team and the Federation will rank above my own interests when I make my decision.
"But the reality is what it is and, as far as it's up to me, I want to do what is best for the national team.
"If they had told me that we would be in this situation before we arrived [in Brazil], considering how the players were training and how focused they were, I would have thought it was impossible."
Del Bosque, 63, who won the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championship with Spain, admitted after Wednesday's 2-0 defeat by Chile that his job could come under pressure.
However, Perez said that the federation would wait until after Spain's final game against Australia to discuss Del Bosque's future.
"We still haven't spoken with Del Bosque, it's better to put a bit of distance between us and wait and then speak calmly in Madrid," he said.
"His family might convince him to leave, but we aren't going to find anyone better."
Del Bosque was also criticised for selecting Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who made crucial errors in both games as Spain conceded seven goals, while scoring just one.
But Perez's public backing paves the way for Del Bosque to remain as head coach as Spain attempt to win a third successive European Championship title in 2016.

The council's education and children scrutiny committee met on Monday to endorse the closure of Llangennech Infant and Llangennech Junior schools next year.
A new Welsh-medium community primary school would be built in their place.
Carmarthenshire council said the move would ensure "bilingualism is increased" in the area.
Campaigners argue the proposal is taking away parents' choice, as pupils at both schools are currently able to learn in English and Welsh.
A petition to the council said the move would have a "massive impact" on children in the community who seek an English-medium education.
The new Llangennech Community Primary School includes nursery provision and would be built on the existing sites of the current infant and junior schools.
The council's executive will discuss the proposals on 20 June and decide whether to publish a statutory notice.
The Micius satellite beamed messages to two mountain-top receiving stations 645 km (400 miles) and 1,200 km away.
The message was protected by exploiting quantum physics, which says any attempt to eavesdrop on it would make detectable changes.
Using satellites avoids some limitations that ground-based systems introduce into quantum communication.
Complicated optics on the Chinese satellite protect messages with entangled photons - sub-atomic particles of light manipulated so that some of their key properties are dependent on each other.
The curious laws of the quantum realm dictate that any attempt to measure these key properties irrevocably changes them. By encoding a key to encrypt data using entangled photons, it becomes possible to send messages confident that they have reached a recipient free of interference.
Ground-based encryption systems that use entangled photons have been available for years. However, the maximum distance over which messages can be sent securely is about 200km. This is because the fibre-optic cables through which they travel gradually weaken the signals.
Repeater stations can boost distances but that introduces weak points that attackers may target to scoop up messages.
By contrast, laser signals sent through the atmosphere or via satellites in space can travel much further before being weakened.
Data transmission rates possible with satellites are about 20 orders of magnitude more efficient that fibre-optic cables, Jianwei Pan, lead scientist on the Chinese project, told Reuters.
"That, for instance, can meet the demand of making an absolute safe phone call or transmitting a large amount of bank data," he said.
The Micius test was one of several experiments "bringing the concept of a global quantum internet closer to fruition", wrote Robert Bedington, Juan Miguel Arrazola and Alexander Ling in a review article in the journal Nature.
The reviewers said many "challenges" remained to be ironed out before the technology could be widely adopted.
The Micius satellite was launched in August 2015 and the first tests of its laser-based communications system were carried out in June this year.
The satellite is named after the ancient Chinese scientist and philosopher.
China is also working to establish a large ground-based network that also uses quantum communication to protect messages.
The new structure, called Evolution, will be unveiled at the 2016 event in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.
Eisteddfod chief executive Elfed Roberts said it was "time to move on" after 10 years of the pink pavilion.
"The Pink Pavilion was a striking building and gave us a unique promotional opportunity... but it was also very frustrating," he said.
"The structural poles obscured the view from a large number of seats, and external noise was also a problem during competitions.
"The new building is a much sturdier structure and will suit our needs far better."
Meanwhile last year's Eisteddfod in Meifod, Powys, left a surplus of almost £55,000.
Wasps ran in eight tries as they hammered the defending champions 64-23 to move up to fourth in the table.
"When we're playing a team we know will make us pay if we don't get things right, we respond to that," Young said.
"Against teams we probably should beat, we don't have that cutting edge - we have some development to do on that."
The win over Sarries was the latest impressive result for Wasps, who have also beaten Northampton Saints and won their pool to qualify for the quarter-finals of this season's European Champions Cup after victories over Leinster and defending champions Toulon.
But it is their narrow wins against the struggling sides that is keeping Young level-headed.
"We're still fighting for that consistency and killer instinct," he told BBC Coventry and Warwickshire.
"It frustrates you when, against the two bottom teams in the league we've got out of jail - we probably should've lost against Worcester and Newcastle at home."
Despite moving into the play-off places, Young refuses to get carried away with their rise.
"It's the wrong time of year to be in there - if it was the last week of the season, I'd be thrilled," he said.
"The reality is we're halfway through the season and there's a long way to go. The league is ridiculously tight.
"It would be a big mistake to talk about the top four. Come the last few weeks of the season, if you're in the top six then you can think about it.
The first trip took place at the newly-established hub in Largs, just six months after the scheme was announced.
Dame Ellen joined two groups, aged between eight and 24, for the four-day inaugural venture.
During the trip the groups spent three nights sleeping on board the 38ft to 48ft cruising yachts.
The trip involved various stopovers, giving the youngsters the chance to test their new skills and rebuild their confidence.
Dame Ellen, who broke the world record for the fastest solo circumnavigation of the globe in 2005, founded the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust in 2003.
It has received £55,000 in funding from the People's Postcode Lottery, of which £40,000 was used to establish the Largs hub. Previously, young Scots had to travel to the Isle of Wight to take part.
Dame Ellen said the charity's work on the Isle of Wight had made a positive impact on people's lives, and the Largs hub could be "just as life-changing".
She added: "We are really pleased to be working in Scotland. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world to sail and the young people gain so much from the experience.
"The creation of the hub in Scotland is vital to allow the trust to be as accessible as possible.
"The young people who are undergoing treatment, or who are in remission, have already likely travelled some distances to and from hospitals, so to have a hub in Scotland where Scots can now get involved in the trust's work is simply fantastic.
"The sailing trips are about taking the young people away from an environment where cancer, recovery, remission are words being focused on day in, day out, and giving them the opportunity to learn a new skill and meet new people who, without speaking about it, understand exactly how they are feeling.
"The young people are given responsibilities on the sail, allowing them to build on their self-confidence."
Double-Olympic gold medallist Shirley Robertson, who grew up and learned to sail in Scotland, is an ambassador for the charity.
She said: "I have always been a strong advocate of the fact that the sailing trips put on by the trust benefits young people from all over the UK, including over 40 young Scottish people to date.
"A hub in Scotland will ensure that the trust will be increasingly accessible, further allowing even more Scottish young people in recovery from cancer to experience the benefits from the inspirational work that the charity undertakes."
Dame Ellen decided to launch the cancer trust after she spent some time with a similar organisation in France. It now works with every primary treatment centre in the UK.
The 35-year-old and 19-year-old died on Thursday on the farm near Bottesford, north-east Leicestershire.
The Health and Safety Executive said it was believed to involve a delivery of slurry to the site but it is not known "how the men were exposed".
It is being reported by the Leicester Mercury the men were trapped in a tank and the fire service tried to cut them free.

A spokeswoman for Leicestershire Police said: "Officers are carrying out inquiries on behalf of the coroner after two people died at a farm in Normanton Lane, Normanton, near Bottesford.
"Officers were called at 16:30 on Thursday. Post-mortem examinations will be carried out on the two men, aged 35 and 19, to determine the cause of death."
Jac Davies died following the blaze at his family's home in Alltwen, near Pontardawe, on 27 July.
His mother Jennifer Davies, 28, managed to escape with her 11-month-old baby and daughter Kelsey, six, while son Riley, three, was rescued.
An inquest into Jac's death was opened and adjourned earlier this month.
The Care Quality Commission told North Middlesex University Hospital in June to boost its staffing and performance.
Seventeen more senior doctors have since joined and waiting times have been cut by 25%, the hospital said.
The GMC had warned that unless the hospital's recruitment target was met, it would remove 26 junior doctors in training, forcing the unit to shut.
In a statement, the regulator said: "The CQC has been working with the trust to make sure the improvements asked for in the Warning Notice have been met.
"CQC will be inspecting North Middlesex again in the next few weeks and a report will be published in due course."
The hospital was given until Friday to meet the recommendations.
The CQC issued a warning notice on 6 June saying the hospital should "significantly improve" the treatment of patients attending the emergency department.
The GMC and Health Education England also set out a series of requirements the hospital had to meet, failing which postgraduate training would not be allowed to continue.
Dr Turan Huseyin, the new clinical director appointed to bring in the changes, said the hospital now had an in-house matron and a new medical director to lead the 200 staff, in addition to several senior doctors on loan.
He told BBC Radio London: "At the time there were only seven consultants, we now have 15 on the shop floor, there were only seven middle grade and sub-consultant grades, we now have 13 on the shop floor.
"We now have the right number of staff that is making it a lot safer and that is helping with morale."
Junior doctors said they now felt "well supported", he said.
The four-hour waiting time target to be seen at A&E was met 65% of the time by April and went up to 90% in August, which is close to the national target of 95%, the hospital said.
The accident occurred on Wednesday morning while the boat, which had broken down, was being towed by a second Chinese fishing boat.
Five people were rescued but one later died.
The accident happened close to where the Sewol ferry sank in 2014, killing more than 300 people in South Korea's biggest maritime disaster.
Divers believe at least four people are still inside the fishing boat, which did not have approval by South Korean authorities to fish in the area, an official from South Korea's Ministry of Public Safety and Security told AP news agency.
The boat overturned 85km (50 miles) north-west of the island of Gageo.
South Korean maritime police based in the port city of Mokpo later withdrew divers after they failed to locate those thought trapped, AP reported.
It was unclear whether Chinese coastguard officials would continue search and rescue efforts or tow the boat away, a ministry official was quoted as saying.
The highest UK temperature was 33.5C (92F) in Oxfordshire, while it reached 32.4C in Wales and 29C in Scotland.
Heat buckled a rail in North Yorkshire, and speed limits were put in place on some lines due to "high rail temperatures".
In Burton-on-Trent, Staffs, on Monday, a 46-year-old man died after reportedly jumping into a canal to "cool off".
A yellow warning of rain is in place from Tuesday evening onwards covering most of the UK apart from south Wales and southern England. The Met Office has also warned of the risk of flash flooding.
Some rail companies announced train speeds had been reduced, because of fears of hot rails buckling.
Great Western Railway made a series of changes to timetabled services as track temperatures threatened to exceed 50C in parts of London.
The train operator warned many of its services would take 10-15 minutes longer because of the hot conditions.
The high summer temperatures were blamed for delays on First Transpennine Express, Northern and Hull Trains services.
A rail buckled in the heat at Selby, North Yorkshire, and trains were delayed by up to 60 minutes.
The Met Office said at about 16:15 BST that 33.5C had been recorded at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
It became the hottest day of the year so far in the UK at about 11:30 BST, when 30.2C was recorded in London's St James' Park, and 30.1C was recorded at Charlwood in Surrey, Heathrow and Northolt in Greater London.
On Twitter, #hottestdayoftheyear trended throughout the day.
The highest reading recorded in the UK in July was 36.7C (98F) in 2015.
Though many described Tuesday's conditions as a heatwave, the Met Office said it uses the World Meteorological Organization definition - that the daily maximum temperature exceeds the average maximum temperature by 5C for five consecutive days.
However, it declared a level three heatwave alert, meaning there was a 90% probability of heatwave conditions until Thursday morning.
London Ambulance Service said it had received 300 more calls than usual on Tuesday and Public Health England urged people to take care, with advice to drink plenty of water, and wear sunscreen and loose clothing.
St John Ambulance also issued advice, urging people to be aware of headaches, dizziness and cramp, which can be signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
The RSPCA said it had also seen a spike in calls from members of the public concerned about dogs left in hot cars, conservatories, sheds and caravans.
The hottest temperature ever recorded in the UK was 38.5C (101.3F) in Faversham, Kent, in August 2003.
BBC Weather's Carol Kirkwood warned the high temperatures could spark isolated thunderstorms in Northern Ireland on Tuesday evening, which would travel across north and west Wales, northern England and Scotland through the evening and overnight.
"Some of those could be torrential; we'll see a lot of rain in a short amount of time, lots of lightning flashes and big hail and gusty winds. It's going to be a humid night as well," she said.
Meanwhile, in the House of Commons, MPs proposed employers should be legally forced to provide water, breaks or air conditioning to combat "uncomfortably high" temperatures.
There is no law for minimum or maximum working temperatures, but guidance suggests a minimum of 16C (61F), or 13C, if employees are doing physical work.
There is currently no guidance for maximum working temperature, but an early day motion tabled in the House of Commons called for a legal limit of 30C or 27C for those doing strenuous work.
Jordan has said it will take place along a line agreed by both Syrian government forces and rebels.
The ceasefire was announced after the US and Russians leader met in person for the first time.
During their meeting Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin discussed a wide range of topics - including the war in Syria.
Their face to face was held on the sidelines of the G20 summit in the German city of Hamburg.
More than 300,000 people have lost their lives in the Syrian war, which began with anti-government protests in 2011, with another 5.5 million people having left the country and 6.3 million internally displaced, according to UN's refugee agency.
Russia and the US have backed opposing sides, with Moscow supporting the Syrian regime with its armed forces while Washington has called for the removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
This agreement, which Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said would cover the regions of Daraa, Quneitra and Sweida, is reported to be the result of several months of undisclosed meetings between Russia and the US on Syria.
Mr Lavrov said Russia and the USA would coordinate with Jordan to act "as guarantors of the observance of this [ceasefire] by all groups".
Speaking after the meeting in Hamburg, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said: "I think this is our first indication of the US and Russia being able to work together in Syria, and as a result of that we had a very lengthy discussion regarding other areas in Syria that we can continue to work together on to de-escalate the areas."
Mr Tillerson said the meeting also showed the two countries eventual aims for Syria "are exactly the same" - but they differed on how they should be achieved.
But his friend was not mistaken.
The 'clank' was a hole-in-one.
When 59-year-old American amateur golfer Patrick Wills struck his tee shot at the 187-yard par three 14th at Laurel Hill Golf Club in Virginia, USA, he had already had a pretty remarkable day.
The former marine, on his way to a round of 57 that would win him the Summer Solstice tournament, had already had holes-in-one at the par-four seventh and 10th when he hit his five-iron into the green at 14.
"When we got to the green I looked down and I don't even know what I felt - I was dumbfounded," said Wills, from Woodbridge, Virginia, who was playing in a fourball with his sons Charlie, 29, and Christopher 27, and air force major Matthew Ghormley.
"I don't know if I broke out in joy such was the disbelief. It was unreal. I had never experienced anything like that before."
The odds of achieving two holes-in-one in a single round are approximately 67 million to one, and the odds on three are well into the billions.
In fact Wills, who plays off a handicap of plus four and has won the tournament 20 times, statistically had more chance of winning the lottery - 14 million to one - than of achieving this feat.
Here's how the round - which also saw him achieve the feat of shooting a score lower than his age - unfolded.
After carding 68 in his first round, Wills started his second with four birdies and a bogey in his first six holes before he came to the 289-yard par-four seventh...
Wills used a laser to measure the distance to the front of the green, got his three wood out and set himself on the tee.
Speaking to BBC Sport, he said: "I hit the shot, it came off like I thought it should and it rolled, and all of a sudden it disappeared and I couldn't see if it went in the hole or beyond and over the back of the green.
"I went up to the green and my son Charlie walked up to mark his ball and looked in the hole and said 'Dad, there's a ball in the hole,' and it was mine."
He added: "My heart jumped in a little bit of disbelief. We had a few fist pumps but I didn't want to get ahead of myself it was still early in the round."
Wills reached the turn in 29 and the 10th hole was a 334 yard par four...
Wills reached for his driver and instead of laying up, he decided to go for the green.
As the foursome approached the green, Wills could not see his ball so he was headed towards the back when a voice said: "What ball are you playing?"
"I thought you have to be kidding me," he said. "Why are you asking me this? But I said I was playing a Callaway and they said 'Well, there is a Callaway in the hole'.
"I was shocked, numb, in disbelief. I asked if they were goofing around but it was my ball. I was flabbergasted. Up until that point I had never experienced anything like that in my life."
Four holes later Wills lined up at the 187-yard 14th with a five iron...
"I hit the five iron. It felt comfortable and looked like it was tracking to the pin," Wills said.
"[When it went in] the guys were flabbergasted, one was jumping, and I got a bunch of high fives. It is one of those surreal experiences - everything was moving in slow motion and I was trying to take it all in."
It was a special day to say the least. I am unpretentious person and I was overwhelmed by the whole thing and choked up."
Wills finished -14 for the round and carded a 66 in the final round - all three rounds are played on the same day - to win the tournament, with sons Charlie and Christopher in second and third.
Laurel Hill PGA director Gene Orrico, who verified the scorecard, said: "I was shocked. I have been around golf for a long time, read the stories, and to have three in one round is incredible. Patrick has been around a long time, he is an honourable man and well respected."
The odds of a low handicapper achieving a hole-in-one are approximately 5,000-1, but Wills makes something of a habit of it.
Amazingly he has previously scored 22 aces in 47 years of playing. They have all come in tournament play, 18 of them on par threes and four on par fours.
He added: "I know what degree of skill it required, but certainly you have look to the man upstairs as well.
"Now when I hear professional golfers like Jordan Spieth say it hasn't sunk in yet when they win something, I can now understand what they are saying."
Robin Meakings, 59, from Surrey, died while adjusting his walking pole when a "bright white flash and intensely loud, deafening whip crack sound" hit him.
Jeremy Prescott, 51, from Telford, Shropshire, died on another peak.
The Brecon inquest heard nothing could have prevented the 5 July deaths.
Coroner Andrew Barkley said such deaths were "very rare", but two so close were "remarkable".
Their inquests at Aberdare Coroner's Court heard weather conditions that day had started out fine but took a sudden turn for the worse.
Teacher Mr Meakings was also struck by lightning as he prepared to descend the 2,580ft high peak Cribyn.
William Belcher, 46, had been on an adventure holiday with Mr Meakings and friend Nicholas Earl.
Mr Belcher said: "Robin was adjusting his walking poles, which were down by his side - and Nic was helping.
"All of a sudden there was this bright white flash and an intensely loud, deafening whip crack sound and at the same time there was a fizzle.
"At that moment I felt like a huge weight had squashed me and my legs went all wobbly.
"I could then smell something like burnt leather or bacon.
"Nic went flying forwards while Robin was motionless on his back.
"I was panicking, shouting at both of them 'wake up, wake up'.
"The force of the strike had blown his jacket open and there was discolouration of his chest. At that moment I knew he had gone."
In a statement read to the inquest, Mr Earl, who was holding the same pole at the time, described feeling as if his body was "on fire inside and out" as he was thrown into the air.
Moments earlier, Mr Prescott was hit by a bolt while manning a checkpoint on Corn Ddu 1.2 miles (2km) away as part of a Duke of Edinburgh Awards activity.
Eyewitnesses said the force of the strike was such that it threw him into the air and melted his shirt.
Fellow youth worker Gaynor Hogarth was just steps away from her colleague and friend when the lightning hit.
She described it as like someone switching on "a fluorescent tube of light", which she said came without warning.
She attempted CPR but said there was no response.
Coroner Mr Barkley said there was nothing to indicate the walking trips were ill-advised and the deaths were the result of "exceptional weather conditions which could not have been predicted or controlled".
He concluded both men died as a result of being struck by lightning.
A patient and two crew were hurt when the ambulance they were travelling in overturned during a crash with a van on the Coleraine Road, Portrush.
One person had to be cut free from the ambulance after the collision which happened at about 08:50 BST.
No-one was seriously hurt in the other crash involving a car in Whiteabbey.
It happened about 20 minutes earlier on the Shore Road .
The crew was responding to a non-life-threatening emergency call in Carrickfergus at the time and were said to be "shaken" after the collision.
The occupant of the car has been brought to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital for treatment while the ambulance crew were given a period of downtime.
The three people injured in the Portrush crash are in a stable condition at Causeway Hospital in Coleraine, County Londonderry.
Three fire appliances attended the scene.
A spokesman for the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said it was repeating its calls for drivers "to exercise extreme caution on the roads at all times".
Ivan Scott, from Kilmacrennan in County Donegal, beat New Zealander Don King's 2007 record by just one lamb.
The 35-year-old is now the first shearer from the northern hemisphere to set such a world record for lamb shearing.
Mr Scott averaged 96.33 lambs every hour, or one every 37.37 seconds.
The feat has been described as the equivalent of running three marathons back to back.
"I felt great when it was all over but the body was feeling it," Ivan said.
"It's certainly very physically demanding and you have to train for months just to get through the day.
"When the adrenaline kicks in, that's what keeps you going."
The strong wool lambs can be as tough as they sound but have an average wool weight of no less than 1.9 lbs.
The exercise was watched by three referees from the world shearing council.
Ivan said his experience of travelling to every sheep shearing season in New Zealand for the last 14 years stood him in good stead.
"It was very hard work and to train for something like this you have to actually do gym work as well training outside the normal working shearing.
"It's all about getting the right conditions, trying to get a real good mob of sheep, which is really really difficult, especially in the UK.
"There's a lot to it and everything has to come together on the day," Ivan said.
There are a number of different classes of sheep shearing.
Last week, Matt Smith, from New Zealand, broke the record for the number of adult female sheep fleeced.
He sheared 731 ewes in nine hours at a farm in Cornwall to beat the previous record of 721.
Ruins beneath house floors in the northwestern Peru showed evidence of chewed coca and calcium-rich rocks.
Such rocks would have been burned to create lime, chewed with coca to release more of its active chemicals.
Writing in the journal Antiquity, an international team said the discovery pushed back the first known coca use by at least 3,000 years.
Coca leaves contain a range of chemical compounds known as alkaloids. In modern times, the most notable among them is cocaine, extracted and purified by complex chemical means.
But the chewing of coca leaves for medicinal purposes has long been known to be a pastime at least as old as the Inca civilisation.
Other alkaloids within the leaves have mildly stimulating effects, can reduce hunger and aid digestion, and can mitigate the effects of high-altitude, low-oxygen environments.
Evidence of the chewing of the leaves has been found from around 3,000 years ago, but the addition of calcium-rich substances - which draw out far more of the alkaloids - was seen to be a much more recent development.
Now, Tom Dillehay of Vanderbilt University in the US and his colleagues have found evidence both of chewed leaves and calcium-rich rocks that were burned and scraped to supply ash for chewing.
The evidence was found beneath the buried floors of the homes of foraging peoples from northwestern Peru, where the conditions were favourable to preserve what is normally a fleeting, organic remnant of a bygone civilisation.
The samples were dated to about 8,000 years, but Dr Dillehay told BBC News that a further surprise was the distribution of the finds.
"We found it not so much in a household context, as if it was something that was heavily used by a lot of people, but rather... restricted to certain households of individuals and produced in a sort of public context - not individualised," he explained.
"The evidence we have suggests that unlike in Western societies - where if you've got the economic means you can have access to medicinal plants - that seems not to be the case back then."
More than providing an archaeological perspective on the ancient civilisation, however, the find provides evidence that feeds into a current debate.
International moves are being made to curb coca production in the Andes because of its association with cocaine, but Dr Dillehay argues there is far more to the plant.
"Some have argued that (coca chewing) is a fairly recent historical tradition - meaning the last several centuries or a thousand years - but it's a deeply-rooted economic, social and even religious tradition in the Andes."
Peter Houghton of King's College London, editor of the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, told BBC News that the finds were "significant" in terms of pushing the date back for the first known coca chewing - in particular finding both leaves and calcium-bearing rocks in the same place.
That the consumption appears to have been restricted to few would not be surprising, he told BBC News.
"The evidence is that the widespread use amongst the people in that part of Peru and Bolivia is a comparatively recent thing; before then it was restricted to a privileged class."
The plague of 1665-1666 was the last major outbreak of bubonic plague in Britain, killing nearly a quarter of London's population.
It's taken a year to confirm initial findings from a suspected Great Plague burial pit during excavation work on the Crossrail site at Liverpool Street.
About 3,500 burials have been uncovered during excavation of the site.
Testing in Germany confirmed the presence of DNA from the Yersinia pestis bacterium - the agent that causes bubonic plague - rather than another pathogen.
Some authors have previously questioned the identity of microbes behind historical outbreaks attributed to plague.
Daniel Defoe's 18th century account of the catastrophic event in A Journal of the Plague Year described the gruesome fate of Londoners.
"The plague, as I suppose all distempers do, operated in a different manner on differing constitutions; some were immediately overwhelmed with it, and it came to violent fevers, vomitings, insufferable headaches, pains in the back, and so up to ravings and ragings with those pains," Defoe wrote.
"Others with swellings and tumours in the neck or groin, or armpits, which till they could be broke put them into insufferable agonies and torment; while others, as I have observed, were silently infected."
Evidence of the pathogen had eluded archaeologists but seemed tantalisingly close when a suspected mass grave was discovered last year during a Crossrail dig at the Bedlam burial ground, also known as the New Churchyard, in East London.
Alison Telfer from Museum of London Archaeology (Mola) showed me around the area planned for one of the downward escalators going into the future Broadgate ticket hall at Liverpool Street.
"We've found about three-and-a-half thousand burials on this site," she told the BBC's Today programme.
"We've been working here for the last five-and-half-years on and off and we're hoping we'll be able to get positive identification of the plague on a number of the individuals.
"Because of the position of the skeletons, they'd obviously been laid in coffins & put in very respectfully, nobody was thrown in anywhere in presumably what must have been quite a traumatic event."
This revelation is somewhat at odds with Daniel Defoe's version of events: "Tis certain they died by heaps and were buried by heaps; that is to say, without account." Panic and disorder only came towards the end of The Great Plague.
Vanessa Harding, professor of London history at Birkbeck, University of London, describes the experience of Londoners at the time.
"Not many people who actually get it survive but some do. And it seems to be quite easily transferred from person to person even if we're not sure currently about the agency or way in which this actually happens," Prof Harding said.
"But there are also what we might consider public health measures which from their point of view include killing cats and dogs, getting rid of beggars in the streets, trying to cleanse the city in both moral and practical terms. The people who do best are those who get out of London."
The search for the bacteria Yersinia pestis, which causes plague, in a selection of skeletons from the dig continued last year in the osteology department at Mola where all the Liverpool Street finds were stored and examined by Michael Henderson.
"They're carefully boxed, individual elements, legs separately, arms separately, the skulls and the torsos," he explained.
"We excavated in the region of three and a half thousand skeletons, one of the largest archaeologically excavated to this date. A vast data set that can give us really meaningful information."
The bones are laid out in anatomical order. Teeth are removed and sent for ancient DNA analysis at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany. "The best thing to sample for DNA is the teeth; they're like an isolated time capsule," said Mr Henderson.
In Germany, molecular palaeopathologist Kirsten Bos drilled out the tooth pulp to painstakingly search for the 17th century bacteria, finally obtaining positive results from five of the 20 individuals tested from the burial pit.
"We could clearly find preserved DNA signatures in the DNA extract we made from the pulp chamber and from that we were able to determine that Yersinia pestis was circulating in that individual at the time of death," she said.
"We don't know why the Great Plague of London was the last major outbreak of plague in the UK and whether there were genetic differences in the past, those strains that were circulating in Europe to those circulating today; these are all things we're trying to address by assembling more genetic information from ancient organisms."
Bos and her team will now continue to sequence the full DNA genome to better understand the evolution and spread of the disease.
There was nothing to identify those found in the mass grave under the Crossrail development but located a short distance away a headstone was found inscribed with the name Mary Godfree who fell victim to the plague. Her interment is recorded in the burial register of St Giles, Cripplegate, on 2 September 1665.
To reassure anyone worried whether plague bacterium was released from the excavation work or scientific analysis, it doesn't survive in the ground.

The episode featured a pregnant Somali woman who had undergone the procedure as a child, leading her to go through a traumatic delivery.
Viewers called the programme's makers "brave" and praised the show for its "sensitive" portrayal of the subject.
More than 8.5 million tuned in to watch the episode, giving the 1960s-set drama 36% of the audience share.
"Maybe this despicable practice will be confined to history with coverage like this," the author Jan Harvey tweeted. "Well done @BBCOne brave."
Another viewer tweeted: "Seriously impressed with @BBCOne for raising the issue of #FGM."
Anti-FGM campaigner Nimco Ali, who runs the charity Daughters of Eve, was a consultant on the show.
She worked closely with the programme makers and travelled to Somaliland, where the character of Nadifa is from, to meet doctors dealing with FGM.
The programme was followed by tweets from the NHS and the NSPCC offering advice, help and support.
Writer Caitlin Moran called the episode "important TV", while Sarah Doran wrote in the Radio Times: "It's high time naysayers acknowledged #CallTheMidwife is one of UK TV's most powerful dramas."
Earlier this month Charlene James received a Critics' Circle Theatre Award for Cuttin' It, a drama about female genital mutilation that toured the UK last year.

The Paralympics face major budget cuts and, although delayed travel grants will now be paid, 10 countries may struggle to get teams to Brazil.
"The IOC have very full coffers after London 2012," said Sir Hugh Robertson.
"They did much better financially than they would reasonably have expected out of London. They have capacity to help."
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Robertson, a former government minister who had day-to-day responsibility for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in London, added: "The sponsors have the capacity to help.
"The Brazilian government have a moral obligation to do everything possible.
"My guess is that if this goes wrong they will be in breach of the host nation contract so they are morally and legally obliged to do things."
The International Paralympic Committee says Rio's organising committee has not raised enough money to fund the Paralympics.
Brazil's struggling economy and the fact that only 12% of available tickets have so far been sold have been blamed for the shortfall in funding for the Games, which start on 7 September.
Cuts are being made to venues, the workforce and transport, and retired British Paralympian Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, who has won 11 gold medals, believes some wealthy nations can also help out.
"Where we are really lucky in the British team is having the resources and set-up to mitigate much of this," she told 5 live.
"It's desperately disappointing for athletes who potentially can't get there. Maybe some of the better-off countries can step in and do whatever we can."
Organisers were meant to pay travel grants to all 165 participating countries by the end of July. The grants, paid to national Paralympic bodies, cover the travel costs for athletes and officials.
"The support grants should have been paid by the organising committee at the end of July and they have now committed to paying them this week," said IPC media and communications director Craig Spence.
"For 10 countries, those grants may be too late for them to afford their flight tickets - the IPC is working with them this week.
"If needs be, we will purchase their air tickets in advance and then receive the grant money on their behalf, so we are confident we will have everyone there."
The visitors got off to a perfect start, taking the lead inside eight minutes when Reggie Lambe swept Hallam Hope's pull-back into the far corner.
Richie Bennett had already gone close twice for Carlisle, but Cambridge responded well and were level six minutes after the goal through Medy Elito's penalty.
He was fouled by Gary Liddle after Jack Bonham dropped a cross and sent Bonham the wrong way to equalise.
Having withstood extended pressure at the other end, Carlisle were ahead again six minutes before the interval. David Forde produced a fine save to turn Tom Miller's header onto the bar but the ball fell to Tom Parkes to fire home from close range.
Looking to respond in the second half, Cambridge's best chances came when Luke Berry hit a firm effort narrowly over before Jabo Ibehre thumped a header onto the underside of the bar from Leon Davies' cross seven minutes from time.

The ex-UK foreign secretary and former Deputy PM Nick Clegg are among those barred from entering the country.
The EU has imposed sanctions on Russia over the crisis in Ukraine.
"It shows we are making an impact because they wouldn't have reacted unless they felt very sore at what had happened," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Once sanctions were extended, it's had a major impact on the Russian economy."
The EU, which initially imposed the sanctions after Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea region in March 2014 and has subsequently extended them, has called the ban "totally arbitrary and unjustified" and said no explanation had been provided.
A Russian foreign ministry official would not confirm the names of those banned but did say that the ban was result of the European Union's sanctions against the country.
British intelligence and military chiefs, including MI5 director general Andrew Parker, former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers and chief of the defence staff General Sir Nicholas Houghton are reportedly also on the list.
Sir Malcolm said: "This has happened at a time when the oil price has collapsed and therefore a main source of revenue for Mr Putin has disappeared.
"That's pretty important when it comes to his attempts to build up his military might and to force his neighbours to do what they're told.
"I understand that they would like the sanctions removed, I want them removed and want to see good relations with Russia.
"It's very important that Russia, Britain and western Europe as a whole work amicably together but we can't ignore the fact that for the first time since the end of the Second World War, part of the borders of a European territory has been violated by a military attack and that is unacceptable."
Sir Malcolm, who was foreign secretary between 1995 and 1997 when Sir John Major was in Downing Street, added: "If there had to be such a ban I am rather proud to be on it - I'd be rather miffed if I wasn't.
"But I've got no immediate plans to go to Russia and haven't had to change my diary, let's put it that way!"
Members of the public have been warned not to approach Steven McGovern, 18, who fled from G4S staff at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
He was last seen in the Grassmarket area at about 17:00.
He was described as white, about 5ft 7in, with brown hair and was wearing a green hooded Lacoste tracksuit, blue T-shirt and green trainers.
Police said he has links to the Drylaw area of Edinburgh.
Inspector David Hughes added: "We ask anyone who knows where Mr McGovern is or has seen him, not to approach him, but to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 2617 of 10 July." | A chronology of key events:

Sheriff Mark Donaldson said the bus skidded off an overpass and slid down an embankment before hitting the train.
Texas officials said the bus was carrying 12 prisoners and three corrections officers from one prison in Abilene to another in El Paso.
A local hospital said they were treating five patients.
But their conditions were unclear.
A Union Pacific spokesman said there were no injuries on the train, but the railcars have not moved since the crash.
In a statement, the Texas criminal justice department said eight prisoners and two corrections officers were killed.
"It's with a heavy heart that we mourn the loss of those killed and injured this morning in a tragic accident," executive director Brad Livingston said.
"Their loved ones will be in our thoughts and prayers."
Brexit may hold risks for Britain - the economy and the supremacy of London as Europe's financial capital being two of them.
But the rest of the European Union also faces risks.
And, according to the governor, those risks are greater for the continent.
To be clear, Mr Carney was talking about financial stability, not economic growth - although of course the two are closely intertwined.
If financial stability is compromised, or liquidity conditions deteriorate, then economic growth is likely to be adversely affected.
In his evidence to the Treasury Select Committee, Mr Carney made three major points.
First, the UK's financial services sector provides 75% of foreign exchange trading for the EU, 75% of all hedging products (which help businesses insure against risk when making investments or buying products) and supports half of all lending.
As he said in November, the UK is Europe's "investment banker".
A sharp break in that liquidity and capacity support could be detrimental to financial stability in the EU.
Alex Brazier, the executive director for financial stability at the Bank, said that the UK exports £26bn of financial services to the EU, and imports just £3bn.
Which, he said, makes the point.
Second, as far as the UK is concerned, Brexit is no longer the biggest risk to financial stability.
Now, that may be leapt on by the Bank's critics - the governor has changed his tune, it could be said, given that before the referendum Brexit was seen as the biggest risk.
But Mr Carney made it clear - the mitigating actions the Bank has taken since the referendum (a cut in interest rates and more financial support for banks and businesses) have, according to the governor, worked.
Better economic news than many predicted has also maintained confidence - and the governor suggested that the Bank was now looking at upgrading the UK economic forecasts for 2017.
Third, transitional arrangements would be a positive help to smoothing the process of Brexit, avoiding what has been described as a "cliff edge" exit which may occur at the end of the two year Article 50 process.
Many in the City believe that given the complexities of the financial relationships between London and the rest of Europe, two years will simply not be enough time to build new regulatory and financial structures.
A period of "adaption" will be necessary.
Mr Carney's comments are likely to be welcomed in Number 10 and the Treasury.
The government believes that, whatever the present noises about the toughness of the EU position on Brexit flexibility, the role London plays in supporting the rest of the EU economy will be an important part of the negotiations.
Business leaders across the EU will want to maintain full access to UK's deep financial markets and widespread expertise.
And that will help Theresa May's push for the "closest trading relationship" with the EU, even if Britain does leave the single market as it is presently constituted.
Hard headed economics may trump EU politics.
Some believe this a forlorn hope, suggesting that political positions in the EU are hardening, not softening, towards the UK.
But, the more the warnings come from people like Mr Carney that Europe might just need the UK's financial muscle, the stronger Mrs May's negotiating hand will be.
The rearmost portion of the Sir David Attenborough's stern is being moved from its production yard on Tyneside to Birkenhead where the rest of the hull is being built.
"Block 10", as it is known, will travel on a barge pulled by tugs.
The 900-tonne mass of steel will take just under a week to complete the trip around the UK.
It is likely to travel south through the English Channel rather than go "north-about" round Scotland. But the final decision will depend on tides and weather, says Linton Roberts, the managing director of Cammell Laird shipbuilders.
"If they come across the top via Pentland Firth and Cape Wrath and down inside the Western Isles, that's five days. If they go down the North Sea, through the English Channel and around Land's End and back up to us at Birkenhead - it's six-and-a-half days. So, going north-about is more efficient, but it's all down to the weather," he told BBC News.
The 128m-long RRS Sir David Attenborough has been commissioned to replace the UK's existing polar fleet - the RRS James Clark Ross and the RRS Ernest Shackleton.
The new vessel, which is costing £200m, will support British scientists working in the Antarctic and the Arctic.
It will feature a big cargo hold, a helipad, cranes and onboard labs, and have the ability to deploy subs and other ocean survey and sampling gear.
Some of this equipment will go into the sea through an enclosed "moon pool", or "wet porch", inside the vessel.
Cammell Laird won the contract to construct the ship, which has been designed by Rolls-Royce. The schedule is tight and it chose to sub-contract Block 10 to A&P Tyne, which is based at Hebburn on the south bank of the Tyne River.
The pair worked together in similar fashion on the UK's new aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth.
"This is precisely the kind of collaboration that can help rebuild the commercial shipbuilding industry and provide thousands of highly skilled jobs," said John Syvret, who is the CEO of both Cammell Laird and A&P Group, which owns A&P Tyne.
"What we are doing in fact is providing proof of concept, of the strategy outlined in Sir John Parker's National Shipbuilding Strategy report commissioned by UK Government.
"By investing in UK shipyards, and encouraging shipyards to work together, the UK can dramatically ramp up the number of ships it builds, converts and repairs, for the commercial and naval sectors at home and abroad."
Block 10, which is the equivalent weight of 71 London double decker buses and more than 23m long and 24m wide, is loaded on to the barge at Hebburn using self-propelled modular trailers.
The same procedure in reverse is then used get the hull segment on to the slipway at Birkenhead.
The rest of the hull is rapidly nearing completion. The engines that will drive the ship through the water are being installed at the moment. Once this work is done, Block 10 can be added.
"It's tremendously exciting but our reputation is built on delivering everything that people trust us with on time. And we're going to deliver this one on time, too," Mr Roberts told BBC News.

The four-time world champion ran just one lap with the device fitted to his car before abandoning it.
"I got a bit dizzy. The forward vision is not very good. I think it is because of the curvature," Vettel said.
"You get distortion plus a bit of downwash on the back of the helmet on the straights pushing my head forward."
He added: "We had a run planned with it, but I didn't like it so I took it off."
Governing body the FIA has developed the device after the teams said they preferred the idea of a clear screen over the controversial halo device tested last year, which is a wishbone-shape over the cockpit, including a bar in front of the driver's head.
A full first test is scheduled for the Italian Grand Prix in September. The FIA ran the device at Silverstone "in an effort to get initial feedback from drivers at the earliest possible stage of development".
The FIA is committed to introducing additional cockpit head protection in 2018 but so far the only device that has proved to satisfy all the requirements is the halo.
However, there is a reluctance in some quarters to use the halo, largely on aesthetic grounds but also because of concerns it potentially undermines F1's ethos as an open-cockpit formula.
The 24-year-old has impressed during his first season at The Oval, having been signed from Somerset in September last year.
"It's fantastic to secure a deal for the next two seasons and I look forward to what they might bring," he said.
"Everyone at Surrey has made me feel very welcome and made my life very easy indeed. I hope to repay them with some good performances in the future."
Burke is the latest player to commit his future to Surrey, with Jason Roy, Tom Curran, Ben Foakes, Zafar Ansari, Rory Burns and Matthew Dunn having recently signed new deals.
"It's been good to see the progress that James has made this year and we're expecting more good things from him over the coming seasons," said the club's director of cricket Alec Stewart.
In the seven coaches that made up our convoy were a couple of dozen world-class musicians from Russia's Mariinskiy Theatre Orchestra, including Vladimir Putin's close personal friend, the cellist Sergei Roldugin, who was recently implicated in the Panama Papers tax scandal.
There were also about 100 journalists in the convoy, the majority of them Russian but with a number from foreign countries as well - Britain, Canada, the United States and China among them.
This was an exceptionally large and unwieldy party to escort through a country involved in one of the world's nastiest civil wars.
Imagine the reaction if something had happened to us. It would have been a public relations disaster for President Putin and the Kremlin; the perception would have been that Russia had no real grip on Syria.
There was one moment on our way back from Palmyra to the coastal city of Latakia, at night-time, when our military guides warned us that there was shooting on the road ahead. We were ordered to close our curtains and switch off any sources of light. So the security wasn't entirely for show.
Only the strongest motive could have persuaded the Kremlin to take a risk like this.
A PR masterpiece
The concert went off remarkably well, with the orchestra playing (if only for 20 minutes - about the shortest concert the Mariinsky has ever played, I imagine) in the magnificent Roman-era theatre of Palmyra.
Russian television produced some brilliant shots, including one from a camera on a blimp a few hundred feet above the ruins.
On a huge screen on one side of the stage, President Putin appeared live from the Kremlin in Moscow, praising his armed forces for everything they had done in Syria. Mr Putin must have been feeling pretty relieved that nothing had gone wrong.
But whatever was it all about? Why go to so much trouble, and run such risks?
There's a simple answer. This coming Monday is the big Russian celebration of VE Day. It won't be as grand an occasion as last year, the 70th anniversary, but it will still be pretty big. President Putin clearly wants to show that under him the Russian Federation is as successful and strong as the old Soviet Union was under Stalin, back in 1945.
What better way to demonstrate the new world-reach of Russian power than to have Russia's best orchestra playing Prokofiev in the heart of the ancient city which Russian arms had played a major part in liberating from the so-called Islamic State? Brilliant, as long it worked. And it did work, magnificently.
The real hero of Palmyra
Watching from the Kremlin, a tad nervously, I thought - he knocked the microphone awkwardly at one point - Mr Putin had cause to feel pretty pleased with himself. He quite often seems to, at present.
Of course the whole thing was distinctly heavy-handed. That's another key indicator of Russian power at present. A purist would say that a bit of self-effacing modesty would have gone down better with the Syrians, and with the worldwide audience too.
But Mr Putin isn't exactly concentrating on Syrian public opinion at the moment. His big audience is at home in Russia.
The Syrian soldiers I was sitting with at the theatre in Palmyra applauded politely and tried to steer clear of the Russian soldiers, who don't always treat them with maximum care.
But the senior Russian officers at the very topmost tier of the theatre were absolutely delighted, clapping enthusiastically when Mr Putin spoke and grinning at each other. They knew that their boss had scored a public-relations triumph.
Palmyra was until recently a place of horror, where 12-year-old boys were handed guns and made to shoot Syrian army prisoners in the back of the head on the stage of the theatre.
A photograph on stage commemorated Palmyra's chief of antiquities, Khaleel al-Asaad, who helped to get many of Palmyra's finest treasures out of the city as IS closed in, and was beheaded when he refused to give the militants what they wanted. He was the real hero of Palmyra.
Perhaps, then, turning this occasion into a tribute to Vladimir Putin and his forces was a little less than tactful. But there is no doubt about it, in this breathtaking Roman setting the Russians staged a near-Roman triumph. And they made sure the world knew about it.
The SNP leader signed a memorandum of understanding potentially worth £10bn last month.
The Herald newspaper said China Railway Group Limited (CRG) and subsidiaries were named in an Amnesty International report on human rights abuses.
Opposition parties have urged the SNP leader to reconsider the agreement.
In March, Ms Sturgeon signed a "memorandum of understanding" between the Scottish government and SinoFortone and China Railway No 3 Engineering Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRG.
It has previously emerged that CRG has been hit by corruption allegations in its homeland which resulted in Norway's oil fund blacklisting the firm.
On Saturday, the Herald reported claims from a 2013 report by Amnesty International on mining and human rights in the Katanga region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The newspaper said researchers for the charity were told that 300 households were forcibly evicted in 2011 when the Congo International Mining Corporation (CIMCO), a subsidiary of CRG, was given the rights to a site where they had been living since 2007.
The charity said it had received no response from CIMCO in relation to the allegations.
Asked about whether the allegations in Herald's story would impact on the agreement with the Chinese consortium, the SNP leader said: "There is no deal done.
"There is a memorandum of understanding to explore potential options for investment in Scotland.
"If there are any particular and specific deals that come forward then the Scottish Parliament would scrutinise those, the Scottish government would do proper due diligence, and if there were any concerns that said these were deals we should not do then we wouldn't do them.
"With every utterance they make about this, seemingly looking as if they are against exploring investment into Scotland, then I think the opposition parties raise more questions about themselves rather than about the Scottish government."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie called for the agreement to be torn up.
He said: "The SNP have talked tough on tax avoidance and fair employment but they have rejected my calls to end government grants to companies who avoid tax or fail to pay the national living wage.
"Worse, they seem happy to get into bed with companies who have been blacklisted by the Norwegian oil fund and criticised by Amnesty International over their human rights record.
"This is not simply about Nicola Sturgeon's gross error of judgement. This SNP deal is dragging Scotland's reputation through the mud. The first minister must shred this deal."
Speaking on the election campaign trail in Edinburgh, Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said: "There's a complete lack of openness and transparency about this.
"We don't know what this means for Scottish jobs, for Scottish businesses and we don't know the details of some of the dark activities of the companies involved.
"I would urge the Scottish government, as I did before, to show us the detail of this deal."
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said: "The more we find out about the Chinese companies Nicola Sturgeon has been making memorandums of understanding with the more we realise why she wanted to keep it secret before this election campaign.
"It's not good enough. We need all of the questions answered as to why a company like this - that's not just been pulled from the Norwegian oil fund because of allegations of corruption, but has now been blacklisted by Amnesty International - are signing bits of paper in Bute House."
Away from the issue of the Chinese investment agreement, on the final weekend of campaigning ahead of the Holyrood election the party leaders were out and about making a push for votes.
Scottish Labour leader Ms Dugdale launched a new billboard poster in Edinburgh pledging to "stop the cuts". She claimed analysis suggested every Scot could benefit from £600 higher public spending under her party's tax plans.
She said: "The new powers of the Scottish Parliament mean there is a clear choice in this election.
"We can vote to carry on the cuts with the SNP and the Tories or stop the cuts with Scottish Labour."
The Scottish Conservatives said they would be holding a total of 130 street stalls across the country on Saturday.
Speaking to voters at a stall in Edinburgh, leader Ms Davidson said: "The scope of our campaigning events today show the level of our ambition at this election.
"We want to represent all of Scotland and become Scotland's main opposition."
The SNP said it would have 50,000 activists out across Scotland over the weekend and aimed to reach 2.4m households in 48 hours.
Speaking to supporters in Stirling, party leader Ms Sturgeon said: "This week's election is about who becomes first minister, who forms the government of Scotland and who will always stand up for Scotland.
"Voters have the chance, by using both votes for the SNP on Thursday, to elect me as first minister for the first time, and to ensure Scotland continues to move forwards."
Liberal Democrat leader Mr Rennie was in Dundee where he was turning his attention to seats where his party has never won before.
He said: "Voters have less than a week to ensure that the next five years are about schools, health, the environment and civil liberties.
"You only get that with the Liberal Democrats and that is why we will grow at this election."

Around 3.5 million tonnes of cocoa are produced each year to turn into chocolate, but much more will be needed to meet demand in countries like China.
BBC reporter Martin Patience, who works in China, told Newsround: "In Britain people have been eating chocolate for a long time, but here in China buying chocolate is quite new."
He said: "If everyone in China ate a chocolate bar, then sales would be huge. That's because for every one person in Britain, there are 20 Chinese people."
BBC reporter Tamasin Ford works in Ivory Coast, in Africa. She said: "As more people around the world get the taste for chocolate, there are worries counties like Ivory Coast won't be able to produce enough."
She added: "Farmers there are already turning away from cocoa. Low prices and the bad weather are forcing them to grow other crops instead."
Protecting cocoa
A new farming facility in Reading in England has been developed to protect cocoa crops.
Cocoa is grown in protected zones, free from disease, and after two years the cocoa plants are shipped from Reading to different countries around the world.
It's hoped this method of growing cocoa will help produce stronger plants, giving more cocoa for the world's growing numbers of chocolate lovers.
"We are," he said, "the jobs factory of Europe."
More jobs, he went on, had been created in the UK than in all the other 27 EU countries put together.
Then he paused, stared at the speech prompt at the back of the room and declared: "We are living through a jobs miracle."
Politicians claim many things, but the announcing of a miracle is rare.
To underline this success, we were handed briefing notes that stressed that these were not part-time jobs; that the North was growing faster than the South; that the majority of these jobs were going to Brits and not foreign nationals.
So I asked the prime minister whether in the light of all this record-breaking, "does it puzzle you why you are not further ahead in the polls?".
His reply did not address the polls, but amongst senior Tory officials there is a growing sense of exasperation that the voters don't seem to get it, don't seem to recognise their achievements.
There is a fear of the "1945 factor" - where after a hard-earned victory, the voters vote for change.
The Tory team seems equally puzzled that the voters don't "see through" Ed Miliband.
After the launch of Labour's manifesto - with its claims to be the party of fiscal responsibility - Mr Cameron shook his head.
"It's too late, too late," he said.
He believed that for such a narrative to take root it needed years, not weeks. The Tory team was scathing about the manifesto of their main opponents.
"There's not a single new policy," said one senior official, "Niente."
Even so, they had planned a campaign where they would make the character and competence of the Labour leader an election issue.
It reminded me of Nicolas Sarkozy's assessment of Francois Hollande during the election campaign of 2012.
"Hollande is useless," he said.
His supporters called Hollande "Flanby" - a brand of wobbly caramel pudding. But "Monsieur Normal", as the underdog called himself, went on to win.
The Tories insist they have not under-estimated Mr Miliband; they privately concede that the Labour leader has performed well at the debates. He has shed some of his awkwardness.
Mr Cameron will not talk directly about his opponent's campaigning style beyond saying, "look, we're in a tough fight".
Much as the Tories believe that Labour has left it too late to claim the mantle of economic responsibility, so the Conservatives continue to suffer from a narrative laid down by Labour long ago; that they are the party of privilege, of the few.
It is the underlying message behind most of Labour's responses to Tory announcements.
So when the Conservatives unveiled a new policy on inheritance tax, one shadow minister said "at a time when our NHS is in crisis and most working people are paying more under the Tories, it cannot be a priority to spend £1 billion on a policy...." that only applies to 10% of houses.
Nothing angers Mr Cameron more than being accused of being the candidate of the rich, but he has not been able to lay the accusation to rest.
"Labour hurt the low paid," he says with passion. "We created two million more jobs… a job is the best way out of poverty."
So the emphasis at every campaign stop is on "working people". At his manifesto launch he used the phrase 11 times.
He is outwardly confident. He thrives at question and answer sessions he holds in the offices of big companies.
His confidence is built on a simple strategy. The Tories, he says, will take back many seats from the Lib Dems.
Secondly, he believes the UKIP vote is soft and that in the final days of the campaign their support will weaken further.
Thirdly, in his view, Labour will nearly be wiped out in Scotland. If those predictions turn out to be true, then they only have to win 23 marginal seats to form a majority government.
That is the mantra and it is repeated endlessly, even though most analysts believe some kind of coalition is all but inevitable.
But, according to that strategy, they believe they don't have to set the campaign on fire and they don't have to take risks. They stick to their central claim that they have delivered economic recovery and voting Labour puts it all at risk.
Central to this plan is to point up in every speech the dangers of a Labour government propped up by the SNP - a party that wants to break up the UK.
But with two-and-a-half weeks to go to the election, there are some jitters in the party.
They believe the strategy is too defensive. They warn that Labour might build not just a lead but some momentum too.
They are concerned too that the Tory party is weak in the country, with too many members over 75 and therefore less active on the doorsteps.
The jittery want Mr Cameron to take some risks, to barnstorm, to take on his critics, to drive the campaign in the country, to show some passion and energy.
Mr Cameron is not alone in being cautious about the random encounter. Only this week a reporter challenged Mr Miliband over what he called "stage-managed" nature of the campaign.
So far Mr Cameron has only done one walkabout and that was on the manicured streets of Alnwick in Northumberland. (He did visit a Sikh and Christian festival this weekend).
As I have pointed out before, elsewhere in Europe party leaders engage much more freely with the voters and the cameras do not turn towards every heckler.
In the UK the political nervousness of the unscripted moment is partly due to the media.
During the brief walk in Alnwick, a man pulled out a ukulele and sang "go back to Eton", only using more colourful language. One of my television colleagues rather despairingly said that despite its total lack of significance, he had faced repeated demands to include it in his report.
When Mr Cameron stopped at a BBQ and ate a hot dog with a knife and fork there was a lengthy debate among the travelling reporters as to whether this was some kind of gaffe.
The campaign teams know that many of the reporters are on gaffe patrol. Indeed, programmes send out emails specifically looking for unscripted moments.
So, as the critic said, campaigns can appear stage-managed, timid and risk averse.
On the TV news, aside from the studio debates, there is little sense of a national drama unfolding on the streets of our towns and cities. Too often the campaign is reported as if it is an extension of the culture of Westminster.
So Mr Cameron and his team face a dilemma - to continue with a strategy of standing on their economic record, or to break out, to risk the unscripted encounter, to accept that the TV teams are waiting for a stumble and to change the dynamics of the campaign.
The Tories have played some of their major cards - inheritance tax, extending free childcare, no income tax for minimum wage earners, extending right-to-buy - but the polls have hardly shifted.
It is clear many voters do not yet feel the benefit of a recovery and are wary of spending cuts to come.
This week the Tories will unleash Boris Johnson. That should deliver some energy.
Cameron himself seems at ease. He does not betray some of the anxieties of his staff.
Sometimes on flights he puts on his large red headphones and tunes out.
Apparently one of his favourite songs is All These Things That I've Done, by The Killers, which contains the line: "I got soul but I'm not a soldier".
Some Tories are urging him to show soul - and to fight.
People aged 18 to 30 were asked to navigate through a virtual maze to test the function of certain brain cells.
Those with a high genetic risk of Alzheimer's could be identified by their performance, according to German neuroscientists.
The findings could help future research, diagnosis and treatment, they report in the journal Science.
The scientists, led by Lukas Kunz of the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Bonn, say the high risk group navigated the maze differently and had reduced functioning of a type of brain cell involved in spatial navigation.
The findings could give an insight into why people with dementia can find navigating the world around them challenging, they say.
"Our results could provide a new basic framework for preclinical research on Alzheimer's disease and may provide a neurocognitive explanation of spatial disorientation in Alzheimer's disease," they report in Science.
Although genes play a role in dementia, their effects are complex with many unknowns.
Dr Laura Phipps of Alzheimer's Research, said the latest study focused on healthy younger people at higher genetic risk of Alzheimer's, suggesting they may already show alterations in spatial navigation several decades before the disease could start.
She added: "Although we don't know whether the young people in this study will go on to develop Alzheimer's, characterising early brain changes associated with genetic risk factors is important to help researchers better understand why some people may be more susceptible to the disease later in life.
"The risk factors for Alzheimer's are diverse, including age, genetics and lifestyle, and research is vital to allow us to unpick how each of these factors could contribute to a person's risk of the disease."

Hamilton started from pole but made a slow start and was passed on the run to the first corner by Rosberg, who dominated the rest of the race.
"I did everything I was supposed to do but the clutch keeps under-performing," Hamilton said.
He said it was "something we need to work on" after a run of poor starts.
The problem started, Hamilton said, after Mercedes made changes to the cars' clutches ahead of last month's Spanish Grand Prix.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The team changed the clutch springs back to the specification they used in 2014 because they gave more reliably consistent starts than the type used in the first four races of this season.
"Since then I have been having bad starts," Hamilton said. "Nico was having bad starts and then they changed everything and now he is having good starts and I am having bad starts. It's just the way it goes."
He added: "It's disappointing when the car just doesn't get off the line fast enough and there is nothing you can do about it on a track like this where you just can't overtake unless you're much faster."
An F1 car's start system uses two clutches - the driver holds both in, sets the revs to a certain level, and then dumps the first clutch and feeds in the second.
The speed of the start is largely out of the driver's control, but he can influence it if his reaction time is slow.
Hamilton said: "I had a problem with the wait revs. I took my foot off the gas and it was still on - like the throttle was still on - and then I dumped the clutch and just (had) lots and lots of wheelspin."
He said he could do nothing to try to pass Rosberg once the race got under way.
"Nico was quicker today and I need to work on that," Hamilton said.
"Positioning is everything here. If I kept the position I worked hard for yesterday, I would have been able to maintain it, but that was out of my hands at the start so I am going to try to work as hard as I can to rectify it."
Rosberg has now won three of the last four races, but this was the first time he has beaten Hamilton in a straight fight this year.
"I defended well in the first couple of corners against Lewis and then it was great to open up the gap," the German said.
"Last year, the race craft was where Lewis had an edge on me and I had to improve on that and this year it is coming good.
"Especially today it was one of the easier wins, not having pressure from Lewis behind. It was great to see I had the pace advantage over him."
Rosberg's third win of the season moves him to within 10 points of Hamilton in the championship.
"Considering there have been eight races it is not a very big gap," Hamilton said. "I need to pick up the pace in the next race."
Rosberg said: "For sure it is all open. I am pushing and it is a great battle with Lewis all the time and it is going to keep going."

The Rt Rev Libby Lane, 48, preached her first sermon in a service attended by hundreds of people.
She was consecrated as the eighth Bishop of Stockport at York Minster in January.
In November, the Church of England formally adopted legislation to allow the appointment of women bishops after decades of debate.
During the service, she was presented with her pastoral staff and welcomed by the civic and faith communities from across the Diocese of Chester.
The service marked the formal start of her ministry in her diocese.
The Very Rev Prof Gordon McPhate, the Dean of Chester described it as a "new chapter" for the Church of England.
Who is the Church of England's first female bishop?
Property developer Grosvenor has sold part of the site to Queensgate Hotels, which plans to operate the hotel under the Hampton by Hilton banner.
The site has an existing hotel planning consent from Edinburgh City Council. It is due to open in summer 2017.
Grosvenor was recently granted planning consent for up to 400 new homes beside the hotel site in Fountainbridge.
There are 250 homes for sale, affordable homes, serviced apartments, private rented homes and two student residences already at the site.
Robin Blacklock, planning and development director Scotland for Grosvenor Britain and Ireland, said: "This marks another milestone in the transformation of Fountainbridge.
"The hotel will benefit from close proximity to all of the amenities of the central city and will bring further jobs and vibrancy to the area."
The building and its facilities at the Dounreay nuclear power complex cost about £20m to construct.
Each vault will be able to hold the equivalent of between 370 and 450 double decker buses.
The floor of the vault is 36ft (11m) below ground and the construction work involved 260 tonnes of steel.
The Dounreay experimental nuclear power plant was built in the 1950s.
Buildings, from its time when its reactors were operational, are being demolished and the site cleaned up by 2025.
The land where the vaults are located will remain a restricted area for 300 years after that date because of the radioactive material stored inside the facilities.
The row came after Mr Trump was forced to call off a rally in Chicago on Friday after violent clashes.
Mr Sanders called Mr Trump a "pathological liar".
He and his rival Hillary Clinton also accused Mr Trump of encouraging supporters to beat up protesters and then offering to pay their legal costs.
On Tuesday Republicans and Democrats vote in primaries in states including Florida and Ohio.
Republican candidate Marco Rubio, currently in third place, has said a win in his home state Florida is vital to prevent the Republican nomination being "hijacked" by Mr Trump.

In pictures: Chicago rally hit by protests
What Trump says about protesters at his rallies
Why are Americans so angry?
Reacting to Mr Trump's allegations, Mr Sanders also told the billionaire to tell his supporters that violence was not acceptable in the political process.
Meanwhile Mrs Clinton accused the Republican of conducting a cynical campaign of hate and fear.
Hundreds of protesters gathered at the venue at the University of Illinois at Chicago on Friday. Inside the auditorium, fighting broke out between supporters and protesters, who waved flags and chanted.
A statement from Mr Trump's campaign said the candidate decided to postpone the event after meeting with police.
However, a Chicago Police Department spokesman said the force had not recommended that Mr Trump postpone the rally.
Violent clashes continued outside the venue, with helicopter footage showing chaotic scenes as police attempted to control the large crowds.
A day later, on Saturday, a man tried to rush Mr Trump as he spoke on stage in Ohio but was denied by Secret Service agents.
Mr Trump has denied using hate speech or playing any part in fostering division.
But his rivals for the Republican nomination have blamed him for encouraging his supporters to use violence against any dissenters.
Friday's clashes came just a day after a Trump supporter was charged with assault after multiple videos showed him punching a protester at a campaign rally in North Carolina.
The billionaire later said that the supporter's actions were "appropriate".
In another incident, his campaign manager has been accused of assaulting a female journalist, Michelle Fields of Breitbart, but Corey Lewandowski denies the accusation.
Ms Fields and her colleague Ben Shapiro have resigned from the website because they are unhappy with the way Breitbart responded to the allegations.
James Eyre, 41, from Derbyshire, was on the waiting list for more than four years before his operation in October.
Mr Eyre, a dry stone waller, has since returned home from the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle, where he had been for three weeks.
The Cystic Fibrosis Trust said he had been "very lucky" as one in three with the condition die waiting for a donor.
It said the UK had one of the "highest rates of family refusal to organ donation in the Western world" and has urged people to join the donor register to help people like Mr Eyre.
The 41-year-old, who lives in Milltown, near Ashover, said he had always been physically fit, despite his genetic condition, describing his own muscle power as "phenomenal".
However, his lungs were slowly failing and he needed an oxygen tank to breathe when their function fell to a dangerous 30%.
He kept working and pushing himself physically despite concerns over whether he would survive the wait for a transplant.
"The harder you push the better your body is, it stands you in better stead," he said.
After returning home following the transplant, Mr Eyre described his eldest son not being able to keep up with him and another one of his children "squealing with delight" as he ran ahead.
He said: "The little things mean so much to the children, being able to walk with them in a field, I feel like a proper dad again."
Mr Eyre said he would be forever grateful to medical staff and the family of the donor.
He is planning to return to work in March, as well as go mountain biking, following further recovery.

Smith, from Walsall in the West Midlands, started making waves a year ago with a song about police injustice that sampled rapper Dizzee Rascal.
For her next track, the musician borrowed from another English musical icon - 17th Century composer Henry Purcell.
Her beguiling voice takes in Corinne Bailey Rae's wounded soul, Amy Winehouse's quivering, colloquial jazz and ends up at Rihanna's sultry siren - always giving the impression she has more power and range in reserve.
She is now forging her career as an independent artist, filming the video for Where Do I Go? on her own on her aunt's stairs, and sees no reason to sign with a record label any time soon.

Jorja - is that how it's spelt on your birth certificate?
Yeah, my mum likes it that way. It's spelt how you say it. But then when I got into school people used to put "G"s in it. I guess it makes my last name less boring.
Who are your musical heroes and heroines?
Amy Winehouse, Mos Def and Damian Marley. When I used to come to London, I would listen to Back On Both Sides [by Mos Def] here and back from Walsall all the time. And FKA Twigs helped a lot when I moved to London and worked at Starbucks and had to get up at four o'clock to get to work at six.
What is your first memory of music?
I remember I got the Atomic Kitten CD. There's always been music in my house growing up. In the kitchen there's a speaker and we'd always have my mum's iPod in it - she never makes food without listening to music. And I used to watch Top of the Pops with my dad.
Aren't you too young to remember Top of the Pops?
No, I remember seeing Destiny's Child and they were wearing heels but they were trainers. Trainers with heels. And I was like "wow". And my dad used to make me CDs of songs to listen to.
Your dad was in a band, wasn't he?
Yes - 2nd Naicha. Both my parents have been big influences on me wanting to do music. My mum's always been, "Just do it. Just sing."
I did classical singing at school. I did exams in that. I'd sing soprano and we'd sing in German, we'd do Schubert for my pieces, in Latin, French… I really enjoyed that. I kind of miss it. I like putting it in my music. In Imperfect Circle, that whole ending, I love making lots of high noise.
On the first night of your first headline tour you thanked your dad for writing the final line to So Lonely. Does he chip in when you get stuck?
At home I'd come downstairs with an idea and say, "What do you think of this?" He'd be like, "I can't hear the chorus, maybe change that". It was all constructive criticism.
Originally the line was, "So lonely now my friend". My dad was like, "How about you change it to, 'So lonely has become my friend?'". I was like, "Oh that sounds really good." I told him I was going to shout him out at the first show I did.
You put your first song Blue Lights out last January - how did that come about?
I wrote that in year 13, when I was 17. My media A2 coursework was looking at post-colonialism in grime music and I was analysing Dizzee Rascal's music video for Sirens. He's being chased by a load of people on horses in red foxhunting gear, so that was a really good example of it.
My manager had already sent me this guy's beat from Soundcloud and I had Sirens stuck in my head, so I was singing that and it worked to that song. It's funny because I told my A-level media teacher, "I'm going to be a singer." He was like, "No you're not".
Has he heard it now?
Yeah, he messaged me on Facebook. He was like, "This is so great, well done. Media did help you!".
Is the song about anybody in particular?
No. When I'm writing, I like to have a tiny bit of fact and then exaggerate it and turn it into something more people could relate to.
The tiny bit of fact: I used to catch the number four bus and I have two friends, and I based it on them because they are stereotypically what I'm talking about in the song. They were the type of boys who would be like, "Ah, police, the feds are coming". The song is about, why should you be running from something if you haven't done anything wrong?
That was picked up by Drake?
Yeah it got played on [Drake's radio programme] OVO when it first came out. Do you know what's mad? It's the first thing I put out and people were listening to it in America and they can relate to it.
It got played at a Black Lives Matter protest in Birmingham. My friend sent me a video. That was mad. But I was writing it also because of what I was hearing in the media, so it made sense.
What did Dizzee think?
He liked it. He put a video up on Instagram of him in his car, vibing to the song, and then when his bit came on at the end he was smiling. So that's really cool.
Your next song A Prince borrowed from Henry Purcell. Why?
My music teacher played the original song and I really liked it. I just heard it, wrote it down on a piece of paper, went back home, listened to it, looped the intro and pitched it down. So that's another song I was inspired to write through school. School isn't all that bad.
Are there any themes in your lyrics?
I try to write as real as possible, even though I make things up. They're based on a truth that I believe. What I'm trying to give people is honesty. I listened to Amy Winehouse's Frank so much when I was growing up. And you can believe everything she's saying, everything is honest. It's almost like somebody's talking to you. If you listen to a song, you want it to help you with whatever's going on right now in your life.
What do you write about?
A lot of it's about love.
There's a bit of heartbreak.
It's funny because I've never been heartbroken. I've got a boyfriend now but he's my first boyfriend. So I write from little things that have happened and I like getting into people's shoes and getting into a character and making a whole story. And also from talking to people, my friends... Like A Prince - that was from hearing things from my friends about their problems.
Your song Beautiful Little Fools is based on a quote from The Great Gatsby.
Another song that was inspired through school, because I did The Great Gatsby at school.
In that quote, Daisy says she hopes her daughter is a fool because that is "the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool". Did you pick up on that because that's still a common view?
Yes. I'm trying to give a message to people - be real to yourself. The only person you need to please is yourself. From a young age you do stuff… even me at school. I wasn't the best looking girl at school. I always fancied loads of boys and I'd always get rejected and no-one would go out with me and I'd always be trying really hard to make people look at me. But I realised you don't need to do that.
I doubted myself and thought maybe if I look like this… I wanted to be really skinny. I didn't want to have a bum and I didn't want to have big lips. But it doesn't matter what people say. I got over it. Everybody sees beauty really differently so as long as you know in yourself you're beautiful, everything's cool.
You're doing everything very DIY and filmed the Where Did I Go video on your aunt's stairway - how did you do that?
I had the camera on the banister and it was quite good lighting. I haven't got make-up on in that video, just lipstick.
Do you like having control over everything?
I always have input into what I want videos to look like, and artwork. My boyfriend took the picture for the Project 11 artwork in Dubrovnik. We fell out over that - I tried taking a picture of him but I'm not any good. But he took a really good one of me. It's on the bed and the bedsheets are all orange so it looks really cool. And my friend Shannon did the artwork for Blue Lights.
Are you planning to sign with a record label?
No, not yet. I'm happy. I don't know any different and it's going good right now so I'm just going to keep going with what's happening.

The FA announced the proposed reforms after criticism over the way it is run.
They include more women being added to its board and 11 new members joining the FA Council to "better reflect" the diversity of English football.
However, Lord Ouseley, chairman of diversity campaign group Kick It Out, says the changes are "superficial".
A former chairperson of the Commission for Racial Equality and a current Institute of Race Relations council member, Lord Ouseley told BBC Radio 5 live: "It won't add any additional power and involvement in leadership roles for black and minority ethnic people.
"In fact, there's no representation for disabled people, LGBT communities - it's very superficial.
"While it will look good and it is to be welcomed as some change, it won't make any difference about where the power is, where the control is, and quite frankly it's a bit wishy washy."
In December, five former FA bosses asked the government to intervene and change an organisation they described as being held back by "elderly white men".
In February, MPs warned they could legislate to force the FA to reform if they had "no confidence" that the organisation would do so itself.
Sports Minister Tracey Crouch has said the FA could lose £30m-£40m of public funding if it does not modernise.
FA chairman Greg Clarke reiterated that he will quit if the plans for reform do not win government support.
"This is a transformational leap forward and if the government don't accept this, I'm not sure what else we can do," he told BBC Sport on Monday.
"If government don't want to accept it, who am I to argue but, of course, I will resign."
BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway asked Clarke why there were no plans for dedicated black, Asian and minority ethnic background representation on the proposed new 10-member board.
Clarke replied: "What I would like to see is a path to make sure that not only are we gender diverse but ethnically diverse. What I don't want this to be is empty words.
"I want to find a way to achieve it and be accountable. I just need a bit more time to get there.
"It's really important that the FA is representative to society. Throughout the business world, diverse boards make better decisions. I think that's true in football too."
The FA is effectively run by its own parliament, the FA Council, which has 122 members. Just eight are women and only four are from ethnic minorities. More than 90 of the 122 members are aged over 60.
The FA's proposed reforms seek to:
The reforms still have to be approved by the FA Council, which will debate and vote on the recommendations on Monday, 3 April.
If they receive majority approval they will be taken forward to a vote of the shareholders at the FA's annual meeting on 18 May.
David McInnes, 61, whose house on Harburn Lane, West Calder, backs onto the railway line, said he had suffered noise disturbance since August.
He said the works, which are not due to finish until April, shake his house and cause high noise levels at night.
Network Rail said Mr McInnes was the only local resident who had complained.
The bridge replacement is part of ongoing works to electrify the Shotts line between Edinburgh and Glasgow Central.
Mr McInnes, who is a retired IT services manager for Forth Ports, told BBC Scotland that the noise had been getting gradually worse since last summer.
He said: "I thought it was the end of the world on Friday night, the noise and vibrations were so bad. We couldn't get any sleep all night and it carried on all the next day too.
"What good is it to put a note through the door saying there is going to be high levels of noise? Are we to pay for a hotel now until April?
"It is outrageous and I'm very angry about this.
"Surely it would be better to carry out the work during the day and inconvenience rail services than to cause all the locals in the area months and months of sleepless nights?"
Network Rail said it had notified 1,200 properties that they would be affected by the work and Mr McInnes' complaint was the only one it had received.
A spokesman said: "The work we have been carrying out at West Calder is vital to replace a life-expired road bridge over the railway.
"We try to minimise the disruption our works cause to nearby residents, but short-term night-time working is unavoidable when removing a structure such as a bridge over the railway.
"We have been in regular communication with locals residents about this project, including Mr McInnes, to keep them informed about our project and to try to address any concerns they may have.
"We are also required under the terms of our license to run the railway delivery works in a way that minimises disruption to train services. "
Nobody was injured when the windows of a Volkswagen Golf were shot out in the restaurant's car park at St Andrews Quay on 2 January.
Humberside Police said the arrested man had been bailed until April.
A number of other people have been arrested over the past few weeks. Police said inquiries were continuing.
On his semi-official True To You website, the former Smiths frontman claimed he was "fascinated" by the offer.
There is speculation any appearance would engage Morrissey's outspoken views on the livestock industry.
A committed vegetarian, the musician has been known to ban meat products from venues at which he performs.
The BBC declined to comment on any possible Archers appearance.
The corporation said it preferred not to comment on future plots to avoid spoilers for listeners.
Twitter activity
The Archers has boasted a number of surprising cameos in recent years, including the Duchess of Cornwall.
In March this year, cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins made an appearance to coincide with Sport Relief.
The programme, which began in 1950, is the longest-running radio soap opera in the world and "considered to be a British institution", according to Morrissey's fan site.
The singer, who on the same website compared eating meat to paedophilia, recently made his first foray on to Twitter, five years after joining the microblogging site.
In his first tweet on Wednesday, the day after the release of his comeback single World Peace Is None Of Your Business, he wrote: "Hello. Testing, 1, 2, 3. Planet Earth, are you there? One can only hope..."
His second tweet said: "Follow, follow, follow. Twitter is the perfect metaphor for...something. Dunno what."
He acquired 224,000 followers in the first 24 hours.
Morrissey kicked off a US tour last week and was reportedly mobbed on stage by enthusiastic fans. At the weekend he was joined by Sir Tom Jones for a concert at the LA Sports Arena.
Those are the comments of Transport Secretary Chris Grayling, summing up the importance of his announcement that Abellio will continue to run the new Greater Anglia rail franchise.
"This is part of our plan to make an economy that works for everyone by ensuring prosperity is spread throughout the country," said Mr Grayling.
For rail campaigners, led by the East region's MPs, it's a key moment.
For the first time, the East of England's main rail franchise is long enough, at nine years, to encourage serious investment, Abellio says.
It plans to spend £1.4bn on more than a thousand new carriages, free on board wi-fi and station improvements.
For the first time there are tough requirements on the operator to improve punctuality and the general customer experience.
"The Treasury, the Department for Transport and local MPs will be measuring progress every day and every month as will the travelling public," said Ipswich MP Ben Gummer, who helped lead the campaign for improvements to services.
He added: "If Abellio doesn't deliver on the promises its made, the franchise will be stripped from them early."
This franchise is the result of a long and well co-ordinated campaign which saw the plight of the region's rail service and its 97 million commuters regularly raised in parliament and at meetings with ministers.
There was a real feeling the region had been neglected and underfunded for years.
"This is a huge win for passengers and a great boost for our economy," said Chloe Smith, the MP for Norwich North.
"It means thousands of jobs coming to the area because the transport can be so much more reliable."
Our inbox has been full of comments from MPs and business organisations welcoming the news.
All of them say they intend to hold Abellio to its promises, but installing a new franchise holder is only part of the campaign to improve our railways.
The other part involves the government and Network Rail spending millions of pounds on new track and signalling. That has started, but there is still a long way to go.
Work on the Ely junction has been delayed and we still don't know when the new overtaking lines will be laid in Essex.
If Abellio can live up to its promises this will be an important moment for rail passengers in the region, but the government needs to do its bit as well.
Konta, 25, reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January before going on to win her first WTA Tour title at Stanford in June.
Ranked world number 147 in June 2015, Konta climbed to a career-high position of ninth earlier this month and is currently in 10th place.
Germany's Angelique Kerber won the WTA player of the year award.
The world number one won her first Grand Slam at the Australian Open, and went on to pick up a second at the US Open. She also won a silver medal at the Rio Olympics and lost in the Wimbledon final to Serena Williams.
Konta's record of seven victories over a top-10 player this season is the second-most of any other player on tour.
She became the first British woman to reach the top 10 of the world rankings since Jo Durie achieved the feat in 1984.
Konta is currently leading the race for a place a the WTA Finals in Singapore, occupying the final qualification spot, but will be overtaken by Svetlana Kuznetsova if the Russian wins Saturday's Kremlin Cup final against Daria Gavrilova of Australia.
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller:
"At the start of the year, the question was not whether Konta could become a top 10 player, but whether she could consolidate her position in the top 50.
"Reaching the semi-finals of the Australian Open was a fabulous achievement, but it has been her consistency throughout the year - and in many of the big tournaments - which has particularly impressed.
"She is a strong player, but by no means the most powerful: her success has stemmed from doing the basics to an exceptionally high level in highly pressurised situations.
"Her top 10 status is thoroughly deserved."
Player of the year: Angelique Kerber (Ger)
Doubles team of the year: Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic (Fra)
Most improved player of the year: Johanna Konta (GB)
Newcomer of the year: Naomi Osaka (Jpn)
Comeback player of the year: Dominika Cibulkova (Svk)
Collin Lieberg, 34, was spotted by guests and caught on CCTV angling his mobile phone under women's hemlines, the Old Bailey was told.
He blamed his behaviour on a nervous tic which made his arms, legs and sometimes whole body twitch.
He was found guilty of outraging public decency and will be sentenced at a later date.
Judge Christine Henson QC indicated he would receive a community order.
She adjourned sentencing for a report into whether Lieberg would benefit from a sex offenders' rehabilitation programme.
She said: "This is clearly a serious matter. It is a huge violation of privacy of those individuals. A community order is no detraction from the serious matter."
University of Warwick student Lieberg was at a wedding reception at the Oyster Shed pub near London Bridge on 26 July last year.
Describing himself and his wife as "socially awkward", Lieberg, of Hills Lane, Shrewsbury, said he had drunk up to nine glasses of wine during the evening, making him progressively more drunk.
When the best man, Leo Steele, confronted him, Lieberg said he was shocked at the allegation and found him "very confrontational", the court heard.
Mr Steele, a Canterbury Tales theatre producer, previously told the court that when asked directly if he had taken photos up women's skirts, Lieberg, a University of Warwick student, had told him "possibly".
Before handing over his phone for inspection, he had done more than unlock it, Mr Steele had said.
Jurors heard that no pictures from the wedding have been recovered from Lieberg's mobile handset.
The 32-year-old has featured four times for the Sky Blues since joining the League One club in January.
Ramage began his career at Newcastle and has had spells at QPR and Crystal Palace, as well as spending time on loan at Birmingham and Barnsley.
He had a spell in the Indian Super League with Kerala Blasters before his move to the Ricoh Arena.
Ramage, who can play at right-back or centre-back, is eligible to make his debut for the O's against Morecambe on Saturday.

Ben Needham, from Sheffield, vanished when he was 21 months old during a 1991 family holiday on the island of Kos.
Det Insp John Cousins said people had contacted the inquiry team from Greece and "other areas of Europe" following the TV appeal in Greece.
The programme was watched by 60% of the Greek population.
Police appealed for information about Ben's disappearance and also for anyone who thought they could be him to come forward.
A new image of what Ben could look like today, aged 25, has been created.
"We've had a lot of information which is consistent with information we've had before but we've also had a lot of good new information," Det Insp Cousins said.
"I have to follow every line of inquiry and I think this is the best opportunity we've had to find out what happened to Ben."
Over the coming weeks, members of the inquiry team will be travelling to Greece and elsewhere in Europe to speak to those who got in touch.
Some of them believe they might be Ben and police said DNA testing will take place.
Ben's mother Kerry Needham, who travelled to Greece with the inquiry team, said it had been "an emotional" few days.
She said: "I'm feeling positive. I'm optimistic, it was a huge success in Greece.
"It's been an emotional rollercoaster but it's something I've got to do."
In January, the Home Office granted South Yorkshire Police £700,000 of funding to support the Greek authorities in continuing inquiries to find Ben.
Last year, a DNA test on a young man featured in video footage shot in Cyprus proved negative.
The cattle were shot on Tuesday at a farm in Carrickmacross, which is the subject of bankruptcy proceedings.
An official from the Insolvency Service of Ireland confirmed in a statement that the shootings took place.
Sinn Féin TD Martin Kenny has called for an explanation of the role of the defence forces in the shooting of the cattle.
Chris Lehane, from Insolvency Service of Ireland, said they were carried out by trained army personnel in the interests of the animals and public safety.
He added that the aim was to prevent the spread of TB in local livestock following consultations between himself, Department of Agriculture officials, An Garda Síochána (Irish police) and the Irish army.
"In the interests of the cattle, public safety of the local community and to prevent the spread of TB in local livestock, the decision was very reluctantly made by me following consultation with and approval of, the Department of Agricultural Officials and cooperation of An Garda Síochána and the defence forces," he said.
"As official assignee in bankruptcy, I have a duty to recover value from assets of bankruptcy estates and it is clearly not in my interests to kill cattle, nor would I do it, without firstly having exhausted every other possible avenue open to me to resolve the problem."
Mr Kenny, an Irish parliament member' said he had received "many calls from horrified people, some from Monaghan, and others who had seen reports on social media about what happened".
"This is wrong on so many levels that it is hard to know where to start. It is a cruel irony that such an action should occur during Farm Safety Week."
The 39-year-old made 101 in the first frame of his 6-1 quarter-final win against Marco Fu at the Masters.
The win was the defending champion's 43rd at the Masters, breaking another record held by Hendry.
"I was a bit nervous because I knew everyone was thinking about it. It was nice to get it out of the way early," O'Sullivan told BBC Sport.
"There was still a match to play [after breaking the record] so I thought everyone needed to calm down."
'The Rocket' looked on course to extend his centuries record in the second frame, but missed a brown when on 51 and Fu pinched it on the black to level.
Hong Kong's Fu, 37, had a chance in the third but failed to capitalise, as O'Sullivan made 67 and took the fourth frame on the black to lead 3-1 at the interval.
Further breaks of 85 and 66 extended O'Sullivan's advantage to 5-1, before he took the seventh to progress to the semi-final.
"Now I am playing decent, I enjoy it a bit more," he said. "The older I am, it feels like I have only been a professional for four years.
"To have a positive outlook on it, I feel I can can deal with the ups and downs, I love it. I can handle my emotions more."

Traditionally one or two countries have hosted the tournament, which is being held in Poland and Ukraine this summer.
The next competition in 2016 will be hosted by France.
"The Euros in 2020 could be held all over Europe," said Platini. "It could be either one country and 12 stadiums, or one stadium in 12 or 13 cities."
When Uefa president Michel Platini told his audience in Kiev that the possibility of having Euro 2020 in 24 to 32 host cities was a "great idea" it is fair to say not too many instantly shared his enthusiasm.
Platini was speaking at his pre-Euro 2012 final media conference in Kiev and if his hope was to capture attention and create debate then he certainly did.
Euro 2012 has been a success on the pitch but there have been logistical problems for supporters getting around Poland and Ukraine and there have been empty seats at high-profile matches. Spreading the tournament around so thinly around so many venues would hardly help.
Platini also says it would help infrastructure costs and circumnavigate the need to build new stadia or improve airports. Surely the best way to solve this problem is to have the tournament in a single country?
Turkey had been favourite to host the event in 2020, but their bid has hit difficulties due to a desire to host the Olympic Games in Istanbul in the same year.
Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland have also formally declared an interest in hosting Euro 2020.
Platini confirmed a final decision would be taken in January or February next year.
"This matter will be discussed very seriously," he added. "We will have a great debate about 2020 and discuss the pros and cons.
"It's an idea I feel really passionate about, it will be a lot easier from a financial perspective.
"We are not going to wait until we know whether Turkey are going to get the Olympics.
"It creates a problem for us. We do have other candidates. Everyone has the possibility to host it.
"It is easier to go from London to Paris or Berlin than Cardiff to Gdansk. It would be four games per venue. It is a great debate."
Platini added: "We are just thinking about it. I have said 12 or 13 host cities, it could be 24 or 32. In these days of cheap air travel anything is possible.
2012: Poland and Ukraine, 2008: Austria and Switzerland, 2004: Portugal, 2000: Belgium and Netherlands, 1996: England, 1992: Sweden, 1988: West Germany, 1984: France, 1980: Italy, 1976: Yugoslavia, 1972: Belgium, 1968: Italy, 1964: Spain, 1960: France.
"It is the political decision that needs to be made. We wouldn't have to build stadiums or airports. That could be important in an economic crisis."
In January 2011, Platini called for the 2022 World Cup to be played across the whole of the Gulf after Qatar won the right to host the tournament.
Meanwhile, Platini has repeated his opposition to goal-line technology. Platini has previously stated he believes its introduction would lead to "Playstation football".
"I am against technology," he said at Saturday's press conference in Kiev.
"Where do we stop? There was a mistake in the Ukraine-England game.
"But there was an offside before that."
The 69-year-old's car struck a ditch at Castlegal, Cliffoney, in County Sligo at about 15:00 local time on Monday.
His car was the only vehicle involved in the collision.
A post-mortem examination is expected to take place on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old, who reached 27th in the world rankings in July 2013, is fully fit after two injury-plagued seasons but is currently ranked 308th.
Other British players allocated wildcards are Liam Broady, Alex Ward, James Ward, Tara Moore and Katie Swan.
German Dustin Brown, who beat Rafael Nadal last year, is another wild card.
Swan, 17, qualified for the main draw at the Miami Open in March, while Hong Kong-born Moore, 23, reached the quarter-finals of the Nottingham Open at the weekend.
Daniela Hantuchova, the 33-year-old Slovakian who reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals in 2005 but is now ranked 163, is another to receive an invitation to the Championships.
Also invited is 37-year-old Czech Radek Stepanek, a qualifier at the French Open who took Andy Murray to five sets at Roland Garros in the first round.
Six more wild cards will be announced in due course, three each in the men's and ladies' singles.

The force said the allegations are connected to 77 clubs or teams.
The list includes all five London-based teams in the Premier League and three in the Championship.

United Utilities has confirmed customers will be compensated but it has not named a figure.
The firm has been investigating how the microbial parasite, cryptosporidium, was found at a water treatment works near Preston on 6 August.
The company believes it has "identified and isolated" the source.
Samples have improved but "highly specialised testing in some external laboratories" is being carried out.
United Utilities said once it received test results a meeting would take place with Public Health England and the Drinking Water Inspectorate.
A decision would then be made on whether to lift the water alert.
The areas affected include Blackpool, Chorley, Fylde, Preston, South Ribble, Wyre and the Mellor area of Blackburn.
Domestic retail director at United Utilities, Gary Dixon, said: "The traces were small in the beginning and are even smaller now. We are continuing to see the levels of cryptosporidium in the tests reducing day after day.
"We are confident we are going in the right direction and confident we are doing the right things. Tomorrow is a big meeting for us when we get these results back."
He said he hoped to have "more news" for customers by Thursday evening.
The Drinking Water Inspectorate will carry out a formal investigation into how the bug contaminated the water.
Source: United Utilities
Some customers earlier criticised the company for not informing customers quickly enough or communicating well throughout.
About 1,000 members of United Utilities staff have been working in response to the incident.
Jo Harrison, who has been co-ordinating the customer information service, said: "We've been experiencing about two and a half times our normal call volume. On Friday we had about 4,500 calls from customers enquiring about their water supply."
Compensation will be available for both domestic and business customers, Mr Dixon said.
"We will be proactively going out to customers to compensate them. There are real examples where businesses have not been able to operate. We have contacted them.
"We're really, really sorry for the inconvenience this has caused."
Cryptosporidium exists in the environment in a form called an oocyst, which is less than a tenth of the thickness of a human hair.
Infection with the parasite can cause diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.
People with weak immune systems are likely to be more seriously affected. | More than 300,000 households in Lancashire will continue boiling drinking water until Thursday at least when test results are due. | 33,881,017 | 527 | 26 | false |
Ines said she heard shots and then saw a man's body on the ground.
"People were crying and everyone was running around," she told France's BFMTV.
Another witness, Chelloug, told Reuters: "There was a police van and the guy came in an Audi A80, an old grey Audi.
In pictures: Attack on police in Paris
"He parked just behind the van and he got out with a Kalashnikov, and I heard six gunshots. I thought they were firecrackers, because we all looked around the road and there was no-one.
"In fact, he was hidden behind the van and shooting at the police. I think he hit a policeman. As soon as the policeman opened the door of the van, he fell, I think.
"As soon as we saw that, we all ran back inside the Alain Affelou shop. We hid and I went up to the first floor and we saw them (police officers) shoot him (the gunman).
"It was a terrorist. He came out with a Kalashnikov and started shooting, but he could've shot us on the pavement and killed more people with a spray of shots - but he targeted the policemen, and fortunately there were the policemen who killed him."
Meanwhile, French journalist and TV presenter Julien Courbet said he was in a nearby restaurant when the shooting began.
He tweeted (in French) that he "never experienced such a scene of panic", adding that all the tables inside were overturned as customers ran for cover and lights were turned off.
Mr Courbet later confirmed that he had arrived safely home and thanked his followers for their messages of support.
Choukri Chouanine, manager of a restaurant near the site of the shooting, told the AFP news agency that "we had to hid our customers in the basement", saying there was "lots of gunfire".
The Global Times said the Turks gave illegal passports to the Uighurs, who attempted to leave China.
Some of the Uighurs' phones contained "terrorist" material, the paper said, and several confessed they were heading for Syria, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Chinese authorities say they are fighting an Islamist rebellion in Xinjiang, the Uighurs' home region.
More than 200 people died last year in bloody confrontations between Uighurs and Chinese security forces, hundreds of people have been arrested and dozens executed.
Information about incidents in the region is tightly controlled.
Activists say authorities have increasingly repressed the Uighurs, fuelling resentment.
The Turkish embassy in Beijing and the police in Shanghai would not verify the latest story and it was not immediately clear why the information had just emerged.
But the Global Times said the passport-selling scheme had been in progress for months.
Each person paid 60,000 yuan (£6,380; $9,680) for forged and altered passports provided to them by the Turks, who had entered China legally, it said.
One of the Uighurs arrested was a known terror suspect who had "on several occasions in the past broadcast transmissions that fanned ethnic hatred and discrimination in Xinjiang", the paper said.
Dozens of civilians were killed in attacks across China apparently linked to the unrest in Xinjiang. The authorities have blamed Uighur separatists.
News of the arrests comes two days after local media reported that Xinjiang police had shot dead six people who were allegedly trying to detonate a bomb.
Who are the Uighurs?
Officers said they surprised two people attaching a camera to a post in a city street on Wednesday evening.
The two said they were acting on the orders of a criminal gang, which uses the cameras to monitor the movements of the security forces.
Reynosa is racked by violence, with two drug cartels vying for control.
The two suspects took officers to the locations of the other 37 cameras they had already installed.
They had been put up at key street crossings in the city, at shopping centres and in residential areas.
Officials did not say which gang was behind the installation.
It is not the first time police have come across gangs installing surveillance cameras.
On 22 May, a day after President Enrique Pena Nieto visited the city, they removed another 39 such devices.
Reynosa, which is across the border from the Texan city of McAllen, is being fought over by the Zetas and Gulf cartels.
Both gangs have been fighting for control of the region, regarded as a strategic commercial entry point into the US.
Gay rights activist Frank Mugisha said more than 100 LGBTI people tried to participate in the celebrations in Entebbe near Lake Victoria.
But many were escorted by police back to Kampala in minibuses.
The minister for ethics and integrity had threatened to mobilise mobs to attack participants. Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda.
After being blocked from entering the Entebbe resort, several dozen participants moved on to another resort but were kicked out by officers.
This is the second time the LGBTI [lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and/or intersex] community has tried to hold gay pride celebrations in Uganda this year. In August, the authorities broke up a beauty pageant and arrested activists.
The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga reports from Kampala that it is unclear why this event was targeted, as over the past four years celebrations have been held without much notice from the police.
In 2014 a bill to further criminalise homosexuality was overturned in court.
Basildon and Brentwood Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is looking to cut the service as part of plans to tackle a £14m deficit.
Fertility Fairness said: "Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system and as such is worthy of treatment."
John Leslie, of the CCG, said: "We have a legal duty to live within our means."
The CCG, which is holding a series of public meetings to discuss the plans, has proposed:
Sarah Norcross, co-chair of Fertility Fairness, said: "The announcement today is appalling. For people not to realise it is a health need is, I think, insulting to all those facing fertility problems."
Mr Leslie said: "We believe these proposed measures represent a way to help us make important savings while having the lowest possible impact on patient care.
"We do recognise however that some people will be more affected than others and we are keen to listen to the impact these proposals may have before we make any decisions on how to proceed."
Christina Pinchess, 31, and two former colleagues deny child cruelty offences at Bright Sparks nursery in Taibach before it closed.
A work placement student has told Swansea Crown Court she saw a child get "flung" by the wrist by a staff member.
But giving evidence, Ms Pinchess rejected the claims against her.
Asked directly by her defence barrister, Stephen Rees, whether she had ever been cruel to a child, she replied: "No."
She was also asked if she had fed a child in a manner contrary to her training and experience.
"No... never," she responded.
She also denied covering up the mouth of a child who was crying.
When asked whether she had fed a child while his arms were being held by another defendant, Shelbie Forgan, she replied: "No... not at all."
The prosecution say young children were force-fed and restrained as well as picked up by their wrists before being dropped to the floor.
But the jury heard Ms Pinchess told police it was "not in my nature" to hurt children.
Bright Sparks' former owner Katie Davies, 32, is also on trial as is 22-year-old staff member Ms Forgan, both of whom are from Port Talbot.
All three deny causing cruelty to a person under the age of 16.
The trial continues.
The mainly Shia Muslim government is locked in a fight with Islamic State (IS), an extreme Sunni group leading an insurrection in the north.
Late on Friday, reports emerged of IS militants killing at least 80 men and taking women and children captive.
In New York, the UN Security Council has imposed sanctions on IS members.
Six people associated with IS or the Syria-based Nusra Front will now be subject to an international travel ban, asset freeze and arms embargo, while backers of the two groups may also face sanctions.
In Iraq, reports and Kurdish officials said rebels targeted a village called Kocho, 45km (28 miles) south-east of Sinjar, killing men of the Yazidi faith and abducting scores of women and children.
"They arrived in vehicles and they started their killing this afternoon," one Kurdish official Reuters news agency. "We believe it's because of their creed: convert or be killed."
Yazidi and Christian people in northern Iraq have faced persecution by the jihadists, prompting US-led air strikes and aid drops and calls for other Western states to arm opponents of IS.
At an emergency EU meeting in Brussels, the 28 member-states were left to decide individually whether they would arm Iraq's Kurds, the main opponent of IS in the north.
Separately, fighting has flared up in mainly Sunni Anbar province, west of Baghdad, parts of which have been under IS control.
IS-led violence has driven an estimated 1.2 million Iraqis from their homes. Whole communities of Yazidis and Christians have been forced to flee in the north, along with Shia Iraqis, whom IS do not regard as true Muslims.
A group of leaders from restive Sunni provinces issued a joint statement addressed to new Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who took over from Nouri Maliki on Thursday.
They said they could join the new government if the security and civil administrations in their areas were given equal status to that of the central government.
But they demanded that the Iraqi authorities stop the bombardment of Sunni provinces and cities, and said that local people should be allowed to run Sunni provinces.
Calling for a reform of the Iraqi army, they asked for the release of political detainees, an end to executions and the withdrawal of militias from Sunni cities.
In order to drive a wedge between Iraqi nationalist Sunnis and Islamic State, the Iraqi Sunnis must first be won over - not only by giving them seats in government, but by empowering them in their own areas.
Many have said they would then turn on the Islamist radicals and there are signs that it may have started to happen in some areas.
In 2007 the Sunnis drove al-Qaeda out of western Iraq altogether. This will be a much tougher affair.
If it is to stand a chance, the Sunnis will need all the help they can get from Iraqi government troops, Kurdish Peshmerga forces and American airpower. Nor can it really start in earnest until a solid new power-sharing deal is struck in Baghdad.
The removal of Mr Maliki, who was hated by the Sunnis, has provided a chink of hope in Iraq's crisis, BBC World Service Middle East editor Sebastian Usher reports.
There is no doubt that Sunni tribes are essential to any solution, but it will take a great deal to restore any of their trust in central government, he says, noting that other Sunni leaders have already dismissed the political transition as all but meaningless.
Fighting flared up on Friday with IS militants in Anbar.
AFP news agency quoted a Sunni tribal leader, Sheikh Abduljabbar Abu Risha, as saying an "uprising" was under way against IS, while Anbar police chief Maj-Gen Ahmed Saddak said security forces were backing the fight to drive out IS.
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's most influential Shia cleric, threw his weight behind the new Iraqi prime minister on Friday.
In Brussels, EU foreign ministers issued a statement condemning "in the strongest terms the attacks perpetrated by [IS] and other associated armed groups".
The UK said it would "consider favourably" any request to send arms to the Kurds, while the Czech government said it would be in a position to start deliveries of munitions by the end of the month.
Germany is legally prevented from arming countries involved in conflict, but Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said he would go to the limit of "what is legally and politically possible" to help the Kurds and he will travel to Iraq shortly.
The EU ministers agreed to provide a humanitarian air bridge to help those refugees driven from their homes, but there was little detail as to the funding or the timetable, BBC Europe editor Gavin Hewitt reports.
Stephen O'Flynn headed in the opener in the 22nd minute after his initial penalty was saved by Marty Gallagher.
Michael McCrudden equalised from the penalty spot four minutes later.
John Currie's shot was deflected in off Mark Scoltock on 71 to give his side a lead ahead of Tuesday's second leg.
The Mallards ended up in the Premiership play-off position after losing 2-1 to Carrick Rangers on a dramatic final day of the regular season.
Whitey Anderson's side are aiming to ensure that they will play top-flight football for a fifth consecutive campaign, while Institute are hoping to return there after a one-year absence.
Institute took their place in the play-off despite finishing fifth in Championship One because H&W Welders, Armagh City and Knockbreda did not have Premiership licences.
O'Flynn dealt an early blow to his former club when he found the net at the third attempt after Gallagher saved his spot-kick.
McCrudden brought the sides level soon after, but Currie's effort gives his side the advantage going into the return leg at Ferney Park.
Mr Flores, 56 had been in a coma since undergoing emergency surgery.
He had been under house arrest on charges of embezzlement and illegal enrichment. Mr Flores handed himself in to the authorities in September 2014.
He was accused of diverting a large part of a donation of $15m given by Taiwan to help the victims of earthquakes in El Salvador in 2001.
Prosecutors say he misappropriated $5m and transferred it to his private bank account. Another $10m is alleged to have gone into his party's coffers.
Mr Flores, from the conservative Arena party, said that El Salvador enjoyed "a privileged relationship" with Taiwan because it backed the Asian country's request for membership of the United Nations.
Francisco Flores took office in 1999 and was in power until 2004.
Correspondents say many people in El Salvador had been encouraged that their country had begun to effectively fight high-level corruption when they saw attempts to bring Mr Flores to justice.
The case at the tribunal in The Hague was brought by the Philippines, which argues Chinese activity in the region is against international law.
China claims about 90% of the South China Sea, including reefs and islands also claimed by others.
China says it does not recognise the tribunal and has refused to take part.
The case is being decided by an arbitration tribunal under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which both countries have signed.
However, observers say the decision could favour the Philippines - and China risks reputational damage if it does not abide by it.
They also warn there is a risk that China could react aggressively to a ruling against it.
The ruling is binding but the tribunal, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, has no powers of enforcement.
The US has sent an aircraft carrier and fighter jets to the region, prompting an angry editorial in the Global Times, a strongly nationalist state-run newspaper, calling for China to prepare for "military confrontation".
Meanwhile, the Chinese Navy has been carrying out exercises near the disputed Paracel islands.
The tribunal has previously said it is the appropriate body to rule on at least seven of the 15 claims in the Philippines' case and was still considering the other eight.
China has been trying to gather international support. Its diplomats have written a slew of articles setting out their government's position in English-language media around the world.
China says about 60 countries support its stance that the tribunal's ruling should be rejected, but few have declared their support publicly.
What is the case about?
The Philippines brought a case in 2013 to the UNCLOS tribunal, contesting China's claims and activity in the South China Sea, saying that they were contrary to international law. It has accused China of interfering with fishing, dredging sand to build artificial islands, and endangering ships, among other claims.
It also asked the tribunal to reject China's claims to sovereignty over waters within a "nine-dash line", the dotted boundary that claims as much as 90% of the South China Sea, that appears on official Chinese maps.
What is the impact of its ruling?
According to Bill Hayton, author of South China Sea: The struggle for power in Asia, a large part of the case is about asking the court to decide what specific land features in the area are, and therefore how much claim to territory each country has.
Therefore, if the tribunal rules that nothing that China occupies in the Spratly Islands is a proper island, it will be unable to claim land rights of 200 nautical miles.
Although the ruling is binding, the tribunal has no powers of enforcement. However, the ruling could set a precedent for similar cases in future.
Will it make a difference?
China has boycotted the tribunal, saying that the panel has no jurisdiction. It has already said it will not "accept, recognise or execute" the decision.
However, if the ruling favours the Philippines, China could risk reputational damage and be portrayed as a country that ignores international law, perhaps leading to greater tensions between China and the Philippines, or the US, which has sent significant military assets to the area.
The Philippines' new President Rodrigo Duterte has said his country is willing to share natural resources with Beijing in contested areas even if the tribunal rules in its favour.
Mr Duterte has adopted a more conciliatory approach to China than previous president Benigno Aquino, and it remains to be seen how the ruling will affect the two countries' relations.

From the BBC's director general to senior executives from technology companies, from Dara O'Briain to teenage techies, everyone at the unveiling of the Micro Bit seemed convinced that this was an idea whose time had come.
But in the outside world, the reaction to the computing device which will be given away to a million school children in October was a little more mixed. As I live-streamed the event from my mobile phone, some excited messages popped up ,but others had questions and doubts. More arrived on social media, as teachers learned about the Micro Bit.
Why was the BBC funding this expensive project? Why not simply back the existing Raspberry Pi computer? Were teachers going to be helped to get to grips with the challenge of using this device in lessons? And could anybody get hold of one? So I've set about trying to answer at least some of those questions.
The BBC won't give exact figures on the costs - it says they're commercially sensitive - but says the vast majority is being covered by the partners in the project. So, for instance ARM has done much of the work on the design of the device, while it's Microsoft which has developed the software.
The BBC's director general, Lord Hall, said at the launch that this project was rooted in the corporation's mission to educate as well as to entertain. It's seen as being an echo of the very successful BBC Micro which gave many people an introduction to computers in the 1980s, and the hope is that it will inspire the next generation of tech pioneers.
The Raspberry Pi has been an amazing success since it was launched in 2012, with the aim of getting young people coding - though it sometimes seems more popular with nostalgic 40-somethings than with teenagers. But the BBC says the much simpler Micro Bit is aimed at helping younger children to start learning how computers work, and will then be a springboard for more advanced devices like the Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
The founders of the Raspberry Pi project did have ambitions to make it the next BBC Micro - but they are now supportive of the Micro Bit and see opportunities for collaboration.
There is already a quick start guide for teachers, partly written by a brilliant coding teenager Ross Lowe, who I met at the launch. The BBC says it will be working closely with teachers over the summer and the autumn, and the Micro Bit website will go live a few weeks from now with lots of tips and coding projects. There will also be workshops and training events - more on this here.
But it strikes me that getting teachers on board is the key to the success of the whole project. Many are still struggling to get to grips with the arrival of coding in the curriculum - now there is a danger they may see the Micro Bit as a problem rather than a solution.
ScienceScope, one of the companies involved in the development of the device, will be in charge of getting it into schools. The IT-in-education firm already has experience delivering coding kits. Once the Micro Bit is in the hands of a child, however, it is theirs to keep. It will be interesting to see how quickly they are lost or broken, though I suspect in the early days they will be highly prized.
Which brings us to a final question - is this just for kids? At first, yes, the priority will be to put them in the hands of a million Year 7 children. But by the end of 2015 they will go on sale to the general public through a not-for-profit company. Its aim will be to continue to make sure the Micro Bit develops into something which can deliver a lasting educational legacy for the UK.
People in Westport are up in arms over late-night landline calls intended for the UK-based station.
The mix-up is a result of Irish viewers calling the show's premium-rate numbers, which start with 098, without adding the international dialling code.
Regional Development Minister Michael Ring said his constituents were "aggravated and annoyed".
Mr Ring told the Sunday Independent: "They are getting these calls in the middle of night.
"One of those people has an elderly mother and family members all over the world and there could be a call at any time that they would have to take."
He said people in the town should not have to change their phone number because of the blunder.
The Fine Gael politician has referred the matter to a number of authorities, including the police, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) and ComReg, the Republic of Ireland's communications sector regulator.
The minister told the paper the police "did everything they could" but they had limited powers.
BAI chief executive Michael O'Keeffe said it had contacted Babestation on behalf of one complainant and spoken to a representative about the issue.
"It is unfortunate that this issue is still continuing," he added.
"However, the BAI is not in a position to address the problem as it is not within our remit and he was advised at all times we were assisting him as a matter of courtesy."
A spokeswoman for ComReg said it had been in contact with its UK counterpart and it was trying to "identify a solution as soon as possible".
"ComReg advises anyone calling the UK from the Republic of Ireland should always use the prefix 00 44," she said.
Mr Ring has also contacted the Phone-paid Services Authority (PSA), the UK regulator for goods and services charged to a phone bill, such as directory enquiries and votes to TV talent shows.
A PSA spokesman said it was looking into the problem.
Jack Adcock, who had a heart condition, died at Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2011 hours after being admitted with sickness and vomiting.
In November 2015, Hadiza Bawa-Garba was convicted of Jack's manslaughter.
A tribunal has found it in the public interest for her to be suspended immediately from the medical register.
Following the two-day hearing before the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS), in Manchester, she has been suspended for 12 months.
A review hearing will then be held before that period expires.
The tribunal heard evidence from the General Medical Council (GMC) and the doctor's lawyers.
A report from the MPTS following the hearing, said: "Having considered the submissions and in the light of all the circumstances of your case, the seriousness of the tribunal's findings and the fact that you have not practised since November 2015, the tribunal is satisfied that it is necessary to protect patients and members of the public and is otherwise in the public interest for your registration to be suspended immediately."
Jack, of Glen Parva, died from a cardiac arrest caused by sepsis after he was admitted to the Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2011.
Bawa-Garba, was given a two year suspended prison sentence after her conviction.
She appealed against the conviction, but her bid failed in December.
Dr Mackinnon was involved with the organisation and wider peace moment in Scotland for 30 years.
A member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, he co-ordinated protests against the Gulf War, and challenged the American response to 9/11.
The GP had undergone treatment for cancer and had been diagnosed with a terminal illness.
The Scottish CND said Dr McKinnon had "constantly strived" to build opposition to Trident and had made a "detailed case" that more jobs could be sustained in Scotland by diverting money spent on nuclear weapons into other projects.
In a post on the Scottish CND website, a spokesman said: "He showed a determination to make a positive contribution to the world, despite his own health problems. This was shown when, after retiring as a GP and undergoing treatment for cancer, he went to Sierra Leone to work for Medecins San Frontieres.
"In recent months, disabled and confronting a terminal illness, he persisted in helping with Scottish CND street stalls throughout the general election.
"Alan's dedication to peace and nuclear disarmament has been an inspiration to us all and his loss will be greatly missed."
Dr Mackinnon is survived by his wife Karin and his children, Maeve and Ian.
The move is the result of an inquiry into the deaths of two people in a car accident on the M9 in July.
Police Scotland only investigated the crash three days after it was reported to them in a phone call.
A report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland said there were staff shortages and problems with the way emergency calls were handled.
Diverting calls away from regional police call centres to main centres in other parts of the country creates "additional risk", the police watchdog said.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she was deeply sorry for the anguish of the families of those who died in the M9 crash, and said the closure of police control rooms would be put on hold in line with the HMICS recommendation.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson later told the Scottish Parliament that £1.4m of new money would be committed to taking on 70 to 75 new call handlers, and to keeping the Aberdeen and Inverness control rooms open for longer than originally planned.
Those centres were due to close by March 2016, but they will now stay operational for longer for an "extensive handover" when the new main centre opens in Dundee.
Mr Matheson said: "The M9 incident had terrible consequences, and I don't want any families to have to go through that experience again."
A report into stop-and-search practices has also been published.
It comes a week after Sir Stephen House announced he is to stand down early from his post as chief constable of Police Scotland, and two days after Ms Sturgeon announced a national review of the force's governance.
HMICS began its review of all police call handling in Scotland after the death of Lamara Bell, who was discovered critically ill in a crashed car on the M9, next to her dead partner John Yuill.
Sir Stephen admitted that the information received about the crash in the initial call had not been entered into police systems, in a situation Ms Bell's brother Martin described as an "absolute shambles".
The Police Investigations Review Commissioner (Pirc) is investigating the incident itself, while the HMICS review examined the broader issue of call handling.
Derek Penman, HM Inspector of Constabulary in Scotland, said more than 3,800 people were spoken to during the "extensive consultation" on control rooms.
He said: "HMICS recognises the constraints placed upon Police Scotland as a result of staff shortages in Bilston Glen, Inverness, Aberdeen and Dundee, but considers that the practice of diverting overflow calls to the main sites in Govan, Motherwell and Bilston Glen is creating additional risk.
"This will not be resolved until there is a full complement of trained staff supported by effective systems, processes and procedures in the main sites and we strongly believe that, until that is the case, the facilities in Inverness, Aberdeen and Dundee should remain in place."
The full HMICS report on call handling will be published in October.
In the interim, the watchdog has recommended that Police Scotland "consolidate and stabilise" staffing, procedures and processes in its centralised East and West call centres, while accelerating plans for the new North area control room in Dundee.
Martin Bell, brother of Lamara Bell, who died in the crash, said the family felt "let down" by police and the government and that he believes his sister would have lived had the call been responded to on the day of the crash.
He also said he wanted to see the local call centres remain open.
He said: "It's been terrible, it's a disgrace how it's been handled. It's just a nightmare. The system is a mess and it needs to be fixed.
"To be honest I think it needs to go back to a regional service - it's an absolute shambles. There needs to be a full change of Police Scotland.
"Officers need to win back the faith of the public and unless there's change that isn't going to happen."
Mr Matheson also announced the new chairman of the Scottish Police Authority will be Andrew Flanagan.
Mr Flanagan, who takes up the role formerly held by Vic Emery from Monday, is a former chief executive of children's charity NSPCC and of STV Group.
He said: "The Scottish Police Authority has a unique role at the heart of policing and I'm delighted to be taking on such a demanding and exciting role.
"While I recognise the challenges we face, I believe there is much to build on in Scottish policing - not least the excellent work undertaken every day by the thousands of dedicated officers and staff."
Cooper's American Hustle co-star Jennifer Lawrence made headlines this month when she wrote about her anger at getting paid less than her male counterparts.
"Putting a microscope on it and having the impact that it's had is a great thing," Cooper said.
"Obviously transparency is necessary in order to help that equilibrium occur."
The star was speaking to the BBC after the European premiere of his new film Burnt in London's Leicester Square.
Cooper plays a head chef trying to regain his reputation in the capital after a downfall caused by drug addiction.
The film reunites him with his American Sniper co-star Sienna Miller, who plays a talented chef taken on by Cooper's character.
Asked about the pay gap issue, Miller said: "It's a conversation that's happening on a global scale in every industry - and it's time that there is transparency and equality. It's insane that there isn't."
Cooper and Miller were given culinary advice on the film, which was mostly shot in London, from British celebrity chef Marcus Wareing.
Cooper - who worked in kitchens when he was growing up - said that Wareing taught him the importance of "being able to stay steady under pressure".
Miller said: "I can fillet a turbot! The hardest thing was the intensity of the cooking - it's hot and I got burnt."
Burnt, directed by John Wells, opens in the UK on 6 November.
Clocking up 20 hours a week of TV time appears to be detrimental, the US authors from Harvard say in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Yet 15 hours or more of exercise a week boosts semen quality, according to the results in nearly 200 college students.
The researchers said more studies were needed to explore the possible causes.
And some experts say men wanting to conceive need to be selective about the sport they do as some types may harm sperm.
Too much time riding a bike or doing long-distance running in tight clothing may not be good, other studies suggest.
Similarly, wearing tight underwear rather than boxer shorts has been linked with lower sperm levels.
In the latest study, the researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health asked 189 young men who were students at a university in New York to record how many hours they had been spending doing physical activity and watching TV in a typical week.
The volunteers, all aged between 18 and 22, were also asked to provide a sperm sample for lab analysis.
When the researchers compared the survey findings with the sperm test results they found the link between sedentary lifestyle and low sperm count.
Men who were the most physically active, doing 15 hours or more of moderate to vigorous exercise each week by playing football, baseball or basketball for example, had sperm counts which were 73% higher than those who were least physically active.
Those who spent lots of time watching TV or DVDs - at least 20 hours a week - had a sperm count that was 44% lower than men who spent little time in front of the box.
None of the men had sperm counts so low that doctors would classify them as sub-fertile.
Sperm motility (how well it swims) and shape were unaffected.
The researchers say their findings are not conclusive but suggest that men who want to improve their fertility might want to look at increasing the amount of physical exercise they do if they currently do little.
It is not clear why sitting on the sofa watching TV might lower sperm count. It might be down to temperature - sperm prefer cooler conditions and production halts if the scrotum gets too hot.
Obesity may also affect fertility - although most of the men were not overweight.
Dr Audrey Jane Gaskins and colleagues say more studies are needed to confirm and explore the possible causes behind their findings.
Dr Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, said: "It remains to be seen if coaxing a TV-watching couch potato into doing some regular exercise could actually improve his sperm count. Or whether there exists an unknown fundamental difference between men who like exercise and those who do not which might account for the findings.
"This should be a relatively easy study to perform, but before all worried men hunt for their sports bag it's important to note that other research suggests that doing too much exercise can be harmful to sperm production.
"My advice would be everything in moderation - and that includes time in the gym as well as watching TV."
David Evans, 49, from Caldicot, Monmouthshire, was pronounced dead at the scene following the eastbound incident between junctions 24 (Coldra) and 25 (Caerleon) at about 18:00 GMT on Friday.
The motorway was closed until Saturday for investigation work to take place.
Gwent Police has asked witnesses to contact them on 101.
Scotland Women are preparing to play in the Euro 2017 finals in the Netherlands but the players had refused to take part in media or promotional work.
A players' statement issued via PFA Scotland called it a "historic moment" on the way to "achieving equality".
The SFA said the agreement "contains commercial and operational elements".
The players' union statement said it was the first collective agreement between the women's national team and the SFA and was a "major step" towards parity with the men's game.
"As a team, and individuals, we are looking forward to working closely with the SFA to promote and develop women's football in Scotland and ensure we are all moving in the same direction," it said.
"The players fully accept we have a responsibility to perform to our best for our country on the pitch, but also to be the best role models we can off it.
"For many years we have worked hard to do so, especially at grassroots level where we are honoured to be asked to engage with young female players at every age and stage of the footballing pathway.
"We want to create a legacy to hand on to the next generation of female players and ensure there is a full and proper commitment by the governing body to promoting the women's game at grassroots and national level."

Scotland's female players, just like their male counterparts, do not receive a match fee. However, the home-based players receive a bursary to cover loss of earnings when they are preparing for the Euro finals. The players also receive daily allowances while they are with the national team.
The SFA indicated that the "international player agreement" affected the forthcoming Euro 2017 finals and the 2019 World Cup qualifiers.
The SFA statement said: "We are delighted that under head coach Anna Signeul the Scotland Women's National Team (SWNT) have qualified for their first ever major tournament finals.
"Since qualification was achieved, our priority has always been to ensure that the SWNT are fully prepared for next month's Uefa Women's Euro 2017 in the Netherlands. To this end, we have invested significantly into tournament preparation, including overseas trips and training camps.
"We look forward to supporting the SWNT in the Netherlands this summer and to using the team's participation in the Uefa Women's Championships 2017 as a springboard to generating increased interest in girls' and women's football in Scotland from players, coaches, sponsors and, of course, fans."
Shifa Gardi, who worked for Iraqi Kurdish channel Rudaw, was killed by a roadside bomb as she covered the advance of Iraqi forces into western areas held by so-called Islamic State.
Rudaw said that Gardi, 30, had broken the stereotypes of male-dominated journalism.
Iraqi forces continue to face stiff resistance from IS as they advance.
The Iraqi troops entered western districts of Mosul for the first time on Friday as part of an offensive begun in October to drive the jihadists from their main stronghold.
Rudaw said that Gardi's cameraman, Yunis Mustafa, was injured in the explosion.
Gardi had been presenting a daily programme on the Mosul offensive for Rudaw TV and had recently started to cover the war from inside Mosul, the channel said on its website.
After paying tribute to her, Rudaw recalled the recent incident where Gardi had found a wounded rabbit.
"The rabbit is suffering from malnutrition which has caused visible damage to its face. I brought it back with me. We will be treating the rabbit and then give it to an animal protection agency which is willing to look after it," she said.
Iraqi forces continue to face stiff resistance from IS fighters bunkered in western districts.
Special forces Lt Gen Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi told Associated Press his soldiers were "moving very slowly" in the face of attacks with car bombs, snipers and armed drones.
He said the plan was to cut supply lines and link up with eastern districts that Iraqi forces declared "fully liberated" last month.
IS jihadists overran Mosul as they spread across much of northern and western Iraq in 2014.
They lost large areas of territory, in Iraq and Syria, in 2016.

Hughes, 24, has agreed a two-year deal after rejecting an offer from the Welsh side, for whom he played 151 games.
Tafazolli, also 24, was also offered a new contract at his previous club, for whom he appeared 118 times, and signed a three-year deal at League One Posh.
Meanwhile, former Derby coach Lee Glover has been named as Grant McCann's assistant manager.
Ben Mackenzie has been appointed as head of sport science at the ABAX Stadium.
Hughes and Tafazolli are Peterborough's second and third signings under McCann, with the latter joining despite reported interest from Sheffield United.
Tafazolli told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "There was a lot of interest, but coming from a League Two side I knew the most important thing for me this season was to go to a club where the manager wants me, I've got a good chance of playing and the club will be pushing for promotion.
"It ticked all the boxes for me and it was a no-brainer. Someone used the analogy of football being like a game of snakes and ladders. You can get on a big ladder (and go up) and get on a snake and come back down again.
"It's all about stepping stones and I think this is the perfect one for me."

State TV said the dawn strikes had targeted camps, training sites and weapons storage areas. A second wave of strikes was reported hours later.
Libyan officials said Egypt hit targets in the militant-held city of Derna.
The strikes came amid widespread condemnation of the killings. The US and UN described them as "cowardly".
A video emerged on Sunday showing militants forcing a group of men to the ground and decapitating them.
The kidnapped Egyptian workers, all Coptic Christians, were seized in separate incidents in December and January from the coastal town of Sirte in eastern Libya, under the control of Islamist groups.
The video of the beheadings was posted online by Libyan jihadists who pledge loyalty to IS. It was one of the first such videos to come from an IS group outside its core territory in Syria and Iraq.
The video describes the Copts as "crusaders" and refers among other things to two women, wives of Coptic priests, whose alleged conversion to Islam triggered a sectarian dispute in Egypt in 2010.
IS militants claim to have carried out several attacks in Libya, which in effect has rival governments.
Thirteen of the dead men came from the village of Al-Our, in Minya.
Screams of grief come from several houses in the dusty back streets, and groups of black-clad women go from house to house to offer condolences. One woman, wailing in the street, tells us she has lost five relatives.
In the packed courtyard of the church, mourners are gathering for a memorial service.
Local men say they are desperate for work and Libya is their only hope of a job. Many say they still have relatives working there, and that villagers will continue to go there in search of work.

Egypt did not give the locations of the air strikes, but a spokesman for Libya's internationally recognised Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni told the BBC that Egyptian jets had taken part in co-ordinated air strikes on Derna.
"Eight strikes have been conducted so far [in Derna]. The plan is to target all IS locations in the country wherever they are," said Mohamed Azazza.
Libyan air force commander Saqer al-Joroushi said the Egyptian strikes had been co-ordinated with Mr Thinni's government, and that his planes had also carried out strikes.
Between 40 and 50 people had been killed, he added.
Several hours later, the AP news agency quoted unnamed security officials as saying that Egyptian warplanes had again struck Derna.
Egypt declared seven days of national mourning after the release of the video.
In a televised address, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi described IS as "inhuman criminal killers".
"Egypt and the whole world are in a fierce battle with extremist groups carrying extremist ideology and sharing the same goals," he said.
He later visited St Mark's Cathedral in Cairo to offer his condolences to Coptic Pope Tawadros II.
Egypt is already fighting Islamist insurgents based in the Sinai peninsula who have declared their allegiance to Islamic State.
Leading international condemnation, the United States called the killings "despicable" and "cowardly".
Pope Francis expressed his "profound sadness".
In a statement, the UN Security Council "strongly condemned the heinous and cowardly apparent murder" of the Christians.
Libya is home to a large community of both Muslim and Coptic Egyptians, with most working in the construction sector.
In the first kidnapping in Sirte, in late December, a group of Coptic Christians was abducted at a fake checkpoint while trying to leave the city.
Days later, militants raided a residential compound in Sirte and separated Christians from Muslims before handcuffing their captives and taking them away.
The butchering of the Egyptian Copts appears to signal Libya's arrival as yet another platform for the militants of IS, broadening the franchise and the challenge to Western powers and their regional allies.
Conditions seem to be ripe for them to flourish in Libya as they have in Iraq and Syria, filling and expanding niches left by failed and unjust governments, and a chaotic free-for-all of local militias.
Past horrors perpetrated and propagated by IS have apparently served only to attract more extremists to its black flag, creating a sense of dynamic momentum.
By bombing IS in Libya, President Sisi may have fallen into its trap and increased its appeal, given the repression he is meting out to Egyptian Islamists.

Libya has been in chaos since 2011 and the overthrow of its then-leader, Col Muammar Gaddafi.
Since then, numerous militia groups have battled for control.
It has two rival governments, one based in Tripoli and the other in Tobruk.
Meanwhile, the eastern city of Benghazi - where the 2011 revolution began - is largely in the hands of militant fighters, some with links to al-Qaeda.
The head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency warned last month that IS was assembling "a growing international footprint that includes ungoverned and under-governed areas", including Libya.
The 32-year-old is in his testimonial season with the Tigers, but will be in the Pumas side for their final World Cup warm-up match at Welford Road.
"To play Tigers will be weird," Ayerza told BBC Radio Leicester. "I have never been in the away changing room before.
"To bring Argentina to Welford Road is huge. It will be a special day for me."
Ayerza joined Leicester in 2006 and said he never expected to be approaching 10 years with the club.
"I actually thought when I came I would only come for nine months," he said. "I thought I would prepare for the 2007 World Cup and that would be it.
"Saturday will be special for me and the game is a big occasion for the club to receive a full international team preparing for the World Cup."

Amnesty International said Ebtisam al-Saegh was detained on Monday night during a raid on her home by about 25 plain-clothes officers wearing masks.
No warrant was presented, but Ms Saegh was later seen by witnesses at the Issa Town detention centre, the group added.
It expressed deep concern about her wellbeing and called for her release.
There was no immediate confirmation of her arrest by the Bahraini authorities, which have stepped up a crackdown on critics over the past year.
In May, a court ordered the dissolution of the main secular opposition group, and five people were killed as police broke up a sit-in outside the home of the Sunni Muslim-ruled kingdom's most prominent Shia cleric.
Bahrain has been wracked by deadly unrest since security forces crushed pro-democracy protests led by the Shia majority community in 2011.
Ms Saegh said she was summoned by the National Security Agency on 25 May.
She alleged that she was immediately blindfolded on arrival at an NSA building in Muharraq the following afternoon, and that over the next seven hours she was sexually assaulted, beaten all over her body and kicked in the stomach.
She said she was questioned about the raid on the sit-in and activists she knew, and told she would be targeted further if she did not stop all human rights activities.
Amnesty said Ms Saegh was arrested on Monday only hours after she tweeted that she held Bahrain's king responsible for the alleged ill-treatment of women by the NSA.
Amnesty's campaigns director, Samah Hadid, said Ms Saegh's "only crime" was "speaking up against a government committed to crushing all forms of dissent".
"We are deeply concerned about Ebtisam's wellbeing," she added.
"When she was arrested in May 2017, she was beaten and sexually assaulted by members of the Bahraini National Security Agency. Bahraini authorities have failed to investigate those claims and we fear that she is at high risk of torture as long as she remains in custody."
The Bahraini authorities have not commented on Ms Saegh's allegations, but they have denied mistreating detainees and have said that surveillance cameras are installed at interrogation centres for their protection.
The 18-year-old, a Spain Under-17 international, will officially join the Hammers on 1 July but is already training with his future team-mates.
A prolific scorer for Valencia's youth team, Martinez will initially link up with the Hammers' development squad.
"For me, it's a great opportunity to be here and I hope to make the most of being at such a big club," he said.
"I joined West Ham because of the progress that the club is making."
The Hammers are sixth in the Premier League with four matches remaining.
They will move to the Olympic Stadium next season and Martinez added: "The prospect of playing in front of 60,000 people really catches my attention."

Police carried out mounted charges at the protesters, who had gathered outside the consulate as the diplomatic row between the two nations escalated.
The Turkish minister has been sent to Germany, Rotterdam's mayor says.
Protesters were reportedly throwing bottles and mobbing police cars.
Fatma Betul Sayan Kaya, Turkey's minister of family and social policies, had arrived by road on Saturday ahead of a rally planned to help harness the votes of Turks living in the Netherlands.
They will be voting in a referendum next month on whether to expand Mr Erdogan's powers.
But when she arrived, Dutch authorities refused to allow her entry to the consulate, sparking a stream of angry tweets.
Ms Kaya has since left the Netherlands, the mayor of Rotterdam confirmed early on Sunday morning.
A lively start to the Devon derby saw Exeter's Jake Taylor volley an effort just wide from eight yards.
But almost immediately Plymouth playmaker Graham Carey sent a pass through to on-loan Cardiff winger Matty Kennedy, who beat Christy Pym and put Argyle 1-0 up.
Pym could do little to prevent the ball beating him then but he made a fine diving save to palm away Ryan Taylor's goal-bound 21st-minute effort after the tall striker latched on to a loose ball in the City area.
Argyle surged 2-0 up in first-half added time as Kennedy slipped the ball through to Taylor and he curled the ball into the corner and just out of the reach of the diving Pym.
A minute later Troy Brown's header smashed off the crossbar but Argyle went in 2-0 up at half-time.
Brown was denied again at the start of the second half as home keeper Luke McCormick made a brilliant one-handed save to keep out the central defender's strike.
Second-placed Plymouth, though, sealed the win in injury time as substitute Jake Jervis converted a penalty after being fouled by City keeper Pym.

Lucia Perez, 16, was drugged and raped before being killed in the city of Mar del Plata.
Two men who left her at a hospital said she overdosed on drugs. But doctors found evidence she had been subjected to extreme sexual violence.
Activists urged women to wear black and join street marches.
Thousands of protesters marched in Buenos Aires and other Argentine cities on Wednesday afternoon.
"If you touch one of us, we all react," read signs carried by many protesters.
Pouring rain meant nothing for thousands of Argentinians who wanted to have their voices heard on Wednesday. Neither did ferocious wind that seemed to come from every direction.
Wearing all black, many stopped whatever they were doing in a women-only strike.
They revealed tremendous anger for the cultural values that keep macho practices alive here and all over Latin America.
But they also showed an anti-establishment rage - some of them even said they are not expecting any sort of change of attitude from the government, despite President Mauricio Macri's efforts to tackle gender issues.
What they wanted, they said, was a cultural change.
Today's massive demonstration could be a sign that that change is already taking place.
Earlier, women and men across the country left their places of work for an hour.
"In your office, school, hospital, law court, newsroom, shop, factory, or wherever you are working, stop for an hour to demand 'no more machista violence'," the march organisers wrote.
Marches in support took place in Mexico, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
The Argentina Solidarity Campaign also organised a vigil of support outside the Argentine embassy in London.
Machismo is the Spanish word for an exaggerated form of masculinity, which campaigners say engenders attitudes that in their extreme form lead to men killing women.
Tens of thousands of people rallied in the streets in June last year in protest at violence against women, and repeated marches and rallies have taken on the slogan "ni una menos" - Spanish for "not one woman less".
Lucia's 19-year-old brother, Matias, wrote in a Facebook post that taking to the streets and shouting together was the only way to prevent "thousands more Lucias" being killed, and the only way to "close her eyes and see her rest in peace".
On average, one woman is killed in domestic violence cases every 36 hours in the country.
Argentina adopted an anti-femicide law in 2012, with harsher penalties for men who kill women when gender plays a part in the crime.
The new legislation also has tough penalties for domestic violence. Fifteen other countries in Latin America have written such laws, but critics say they are not being effectively implemented.
Earlier this year, Argentina's President Mauricio Macri announced a series of measures to try to tackle violence against women, such as funding electronic tags for violent men, and creating a network of women's refuges. The measures will begin next year.
Three men have been arrested in connection with Lucia's death.
Prosecutors say she was drugged with marijuana and cocaine before the rape.
A foreign object was thrust into her anus and caused pain so severe that she went into cardiac arrest.
Lucia died shortly after she was taken to hospital.
The lead prosecutor, Maria Isabel Sanchez, told the media: "I know it's not very professional to say this, but I am a mother and a woman and I have seen a thousand things in my career, but never anything equal to this litany of abhorrent acts."
Lucia's mother, Marta, said: "We can't understand such barbarity. It's impossible to understand."
"The way they killed her was inhuman," said Lucia's father, Guillermo.
The country's Justice Minister, German Garavano, met Lucia's parents last week and said the government was working to make sure young people "do not end up as the victims of these tragic acts".
But both are well placed to make Rio 2016 through their world rankings.

Analysts blamed a disappointing report on the UK services sector, and ongoing uncertainty about the effects of the UK's vote to leave the European Union.
There was caution on Wall Street as well, where shares closed lower.
In London, shares in property firms and asset managers dropped sharply after insurance giant Aviva become the second firm in two days to suspend trading in a UK property fund following the Brexit vote.
Aviva said the freeze would take place immediately due to "extraordinary market circumstances".
On Monday, Standard Life Investments suspended trading in its UK property fund.
Mark Priest from ETX Capital said: "Investors are getting very nervous now... the last time we saw this kind of action was in the financial crisis.
"Fears about the investment industry are leaching into the forex markets today, with sterling seeing heavy selling again after a few days of relative calm after the Brexit vote collapse."
The FTSE 100 index was lower for most of the morning, but then gained ground after the Bank of England announced new measures to try to support the economy.
The Bank of England has eased special capital requirements for banks, potentially freeing up £150bn for lending.
The FTSE 100 closed 23.11 points, or 0.4%, higher at 6,545.37. The FTSE 250 - which contains more UK-focused companies - was also off its lows for the day, but still closed 382 points or 2.4% lower at 15,734.68.
Among property shares, housebuilder Persimmon fell 7.2% despite it reporting a rise in half-year revenues.
The company said it was "confident" about its prospects, and that it was too early to say how the UK's vote to leave the EU would affect the sector.
But the news from Standard Life Investments, followed by Aviva, cast a shadow across the entire property sector. Shares in Barratt Developments fell 9.8% while Berkeley Group closed 6.4% lower.
Standard Life Investments said the number of investors asking to withdraw their money had increased following the EU referendum vote.
"The suspension was requested to protect the interests of all investors in the fund," it said in a statement.
The £2.9bn fund invests in a mixture of commercial real estate in the UK, including office blocks, shopping centres and warehouses.
Lord Justice Coghlin said continuing delay may diminish public confidence.
He was sitting on an appeal by the department of health,
The appeal, against an order for discovery of documents relevant to a challenge to alleged failure to issue new abortion guidelines, was upheld.
The Court of Appeal ruled that the material should instead be inspected first by the judge who is due to hear the judicial review challenge later this month.
The Family Planning Association (FPA) has issued proceedings against the department over the continued non-publication of guidelines.
The sexual health charity claims there was a legitimate expectation that revised guidance would be completed following earlier court orders.
Under current law, abortion in Northern Ireland is only available in limited circumstances, where the mother's life or mental well-being are considered at risk.
In 2009, the department published a document which, for the first time, provided guidance to health professionals in Northern Ireland on terminating pregnancy.
But later that year the High Court ruled it did not properly cover counselling and conscientious objection issues.
A judge held that the guidelines were misleading and should be withdrawn for reconsideration.
Since then a fresh public consultation process on counselling and conscientious objection was undertaken as part of the redrafting.
Appearing before a three judge Court of Appeal panel on behalf of the department and minister Edwin Poots, Attorney General John Larkin QC contended there was nothing in the documents that assists the FPA's case.
He confirmed, however, that he was happy for the court to study the material, which Mr Poots has been considering, and form its own view.
During the hearing it was noted that departmental guidance has been awaited since a ruling from 2004.
Lord Justice Coghlin, sitting with Lord Chief Justice Morgan and Lord Justice Girvan, said: "There comes a stage in any government activity when delay becomes much more than simply... the government going ahead with its work and it becomes a matter of real concern to the governed.
"In this case it seems to me the danger is in the department taking a view 'no, you can't see these documents' despite the fact it has taken so long to consider what we should do.
"It can be interpreted by the governed not so much as the diligent work of government (but) as a paralysed government that because of its cultural and religious divisions simply cannot bring itself to discharge its duties.
"That's why there is a duty of candour."
Mr Larkin said, however, that Northern Ireland's constitutional arrangements must be acknowledged.
He also pointed out that Mr Poots only became health minister in 2011 and has been working continuously with officials to comply with the requirement to publish guidance.
According to the Attorney General the FPA has been premature in mounting a challenge to emerging public policy.
"We are in a fluid state in terms of the development of government policy," he said.
Lord Justice Coghlin told him: "Nobody is denying for a minute that it's a finely balanced judgment.
"But the longer time goes on the less trust the governed may have in the government."
Tony McGleenan QC, for the FPA, argued that the delay has been "unconscionable".
He claimed there could come a point, not yet reached, when it would amount to an abuse of power.
Following the court's ruling the judge in the judicial review hearing will now decide the merits of the material sought.
Lord Chief Justice Morgan confirmed: "He should inspect the documents with a view to determining whether after such inspection the documents should be provided on the basis of the legal test."
With just over a day to go, 190 backers had pledged $36,000 (£29,000) - much less than the target of $500,000.
The "Project CSX" phone would let users interact with it via voice control and eye-tracking, in which pages are scrolled by eye movement alone.
One analyst said customers may have been sceptical about the features.
In an update to the project page on Kickstarter, ZTE said it had decided to cancel the current fundraising campaign "based on feedback we've received", but was vague on what exact form any new phone might now take.
"However, this doesn't mean the project is over," the firm added.
"We are re-evaluating the device for the winning Project CSX idea - an eye-tracking feature with self adhesive backing - and it will be implemented based on your feedback."
Backers had been able to pledge $199 to receive the phone, had the project been successfully funded, and those who pledged money will now get it back.
This latest smartphone concept was previously unveiled following the submission of ideas by members of the public.
Besides offering hands-free interaction via voice control and eye-tracking, the phone would also have been usable with a special "self-adhesive" case allowing it to be stuck to walls and other vertical surfaces.
ZTE claims "thousands of customers" voted for the phone's features.
However, Jeff Yee, vice president of technology planning and partnerships at the firm, posted a message entitled "We acknowledge our mistake" on ZTE's community forums in January.
"When the eye-tracking, sticky phone went on to win Project CSX, we lost sight of what many of you submitted and voted upon as competing submissions," he wrote.
"We realize that our decision to introduce the CSX hands-free features on a mid-range device may not have met the expectations of those that backed this project."
A poll on what features to change has so far received 181 responses.
"It is extraordinary because to fund the project they only need 2,500 phones sold - that is a rounding error in most phone production," said Ben Wood, an analyst at CCS Insight.
"It shows that something's gone badly wrong with the campaign - it is just not appealing."
Mr Wood suggested that customers may have been sceptical that the eye-tracking features would work as advertised since the concept is so new.
He pointed out, however, that the specifications of the proposed device were promising in their own right.
The proposed design boasts a full HD display, dual lens camera on the rear and eight megapixel camera on the front of the device, three gigabytes of RAM and a dual SIM card slot - one of which can be used for a MicroSD storage card.
"It's a bit of a tragedy - even though it seems to be a failed experiment, ZTE should be applauded for their efforts," said Mr Wood.
The cash was announced in the Commons by Chancellor George Osborne in his Autumn Statement and Spending Review.
The redevelopment will see the building which houses the priceless collection refurbished and extra floor space added to quadruple the number of exhibits.
The Burrell Collection is due to close to the public early next year and reopen when work is complete in 2019.
The collection bears the name of shipping entrepreneur Sir William Burrell, who died in 1958, and left his thousands of paintings, sculptures, tapestries, ceramics and stained glass to Glasgow.
A specially-commissioned building to display a portion of the collection was opened in Pollok Park in 1983.
However, the A-listed structure is now in urgent need of repair and redevelopment plans, costing between £60m and £66m, have been drawn up.
Up to half of this will be met by Glasgow City Council.
The £5m announced by the chancellor adds to the £15m pledged earlier this year by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The remainder will come from a public fundraising campaign.
When complete, the project would open three floors of exhibition space - including the basement which is currently only used by staff.
It would also mean about 90% of the 9,000-piece collection could be put on display - about four times what is currently shown.
While work is being carried out, some of the exhibits will go on loan - against the wishes of Sir William Burrell.
He gifted the collection to Glasgow with a condition they were never loaned, apparently fearing that they may be damaged in transit.
MSPs voted last year to relax that restriction, paving the way for the famous collection to go on tour while redevelopment work is completed.
Loaning out items from the collection will also bring in much-needed revenue. | Terrified eyewitnesses in Paris have recounted scenes of panic as they ran for cover when a gunman opened fire on police officers on the Champs Elysees - one of the city's best-known avenues.

Is it possible to defuse conflict between parents and hospital staff in these highly charged situations?
A project that began at Evelina Children's Hospital, in London, might hold some answers.
It has also been applied in Southampton, where the children's hospital was at the centre of a political and media firestorm three years ago.
Staff received hate mail and abusive phone calls after police were asked to search for a five-year-old boy with a brain tumour, who had been taken out of hospital by his parents.
Ashya King's family had wanted him to have treatment abroad.
This was later paid for by the NHS - and his father has since announced Ashya is free of cancer.
Picking up the pieces from this crisis led to a lot of soul-searching in Southampton.
Dr Peter Wilson, the trust's clinical director of women's and children's services, told me: "We are seeing a rise in these kind of conflicts.
"Ten years ago, they were almost unheard of in paediatrics.
"But most NHS trusts at the moment will be dealing with something like this, as best they can, with the families.
"This isn't an isolated problem in Southampton. It's about how we do better as a healthcare system."
They are still analysing data from the six-month trial - but he thinks staff are now spotting five times more cases where there are early, subtle signs of discord with families.
Other children's hospitals are already hungry to learn from this work, which Southampton hopes to expand in the coming months.
Maureen Wiltshire, who has 30 years' experience of nursing children, shows me a flowchart nurses and other staff use to identify warning signs of conflict.
It has two pages - but the second page of actions to help resolve problems has never been reached, because the first page has worked every time.
Ms Wiltshire said: "It might be a situation where staff would prefer not to look after that child because they feel they're being watched by the parent, or challenged all the time.
"We had a family of a young patient who was being moved to our ward.
"They were against the move, because they'd built up a relationship on the previous ward.
"One of the physios came to us and said the mum was worried her child wouldn't be safe.
"That was a real alarm bell that this was a situation with potential for breakdown.
"In the past, we'd have felt it was enough to get on with showing her that we were caring for her child safely.
"But we actually went in and had an early conversation which cleared up her worries, and stopped the problem getting any bigger."
It sounds obvious, but this vital communication can get lost in an increasingly busy hospital environment.
The approach also includes asking parents whether they agree with notes recording difficult meetings.
The heartbreak in cases such as those of Charlie Gard and Ashya King is obvious - let alone the time and money involved.
Former BBC journalist Sarah Barclay set up a foundation specialising in medical mediation and training.
She has led the work at Evelina and in Southampton - and helps by bringing both sides together with mediation sessions if earlier steps to resolve the situation have failed.
Sarah said: "These situations can feel really tense.
"Parents are living out some of their most painful and difficult moments, in the hospital - a public space.
"So, everyone is under enormous pressure and sometimes it just boils over."
About 1,200 clinical and administrative staff at Evelina have had training as part of the Resolution Project.
Medical director Dr Sara Hanna said: "It might surprise people that children can spend more than a year in hospital continually.
"Once the trust is broken between the family and clinicians, it's almost impossible to get back.
"And then it's very dangerous for the child - because who is keeping their needs central at that point?" | In his final ruling on the distressing and tortuous legal case of baby Charlie Gard, the High Court judge said last month that mediation should be tried in all such cases. | 41,037,181 | 857 | 37 | false |
Darren Baker ran into the Premier Express store in Drayton Road, Norwich, after his wife was threatened by a man wielding an imitation firearm.
Mr Baker overpowered the robber until police arrived: "I looked at him, looked at the gun, and just rushed at him to disarm him," he said.
Stephen Lawrence, 54, was jailed for 11 years for attempted robbery.
Shop manager Mike Sherwood said he had thanked Mr Baker for his actions during December's robbery.
"I've thanked him personally and 'thank-you' is such a small word, but I meant it very sincerely. He is brilliant," he said.
Mr Baker said he had been to court to watch proceedings, and heard the judge "say what a brave man I was". | A man who tackled an armed robber at a shop has been praised by a judge for his brave actions. | 35,612,404 | 183 | 29 | false |
The Right Reverend Michael Perham said "only time will tell" how the episode will affect him in the long term.
He was questioned by police over two allegations of offences dating back 30 years but was cleared by both the Church of England and police.
The Bishop's farewell service took place at Gloucester Cathedral on Saturday evening.
It was due to have taken place in November but was cancelled when the allegations of offences came to light.
The Metropolitan Police and the Church of England carried out separate inquiries and no action was taken.
Bishop Michael said: "It was very difficult because there was a very public series of allegations and an instant withdrawal from a ministry I was fulfilled in and building towards retirement.
"It was, and has continued to be, horrible."
He said he never felt "isolated and abandoned" because of "huge support an encouragement" from friends, family and people in the diocese.
"I'm sure it has [changed me], but I'm not sure how yet. I suspect I have lost confidence in some respects, but only time will tell.
Bishop Michael added that he had also "lost a bit of weight".
The Venerable Rachel Treweek was appointed as the new Bishop of Gloucester in March.

Edward Laing was 19-years-old and from Thurso.
Emergency services were alerted to the accident south of Keiss at 03:15 and the road at the scene was closed for 11 hours to allow for an investigation.
Police Scotland said Mr Laing was the only occupant of the Peugeot 306.
New rules brought in last year require councils to support children who stay on with their foster parents.
Children and Families Minister Edward Timpson said the scheme had already been a "spectacular success".
Council leaders said they were committed to the changes but warned of a funding shortfall.
The government says 2,300 young people between the ages of 18 and 21 now remain with their foster families.
It says this is a big improvement because young people leaving foster homes often miss out on the sort of help parents provide to children aged over 18.
Cllr David Simmonds, deputy chairman of the Local Government Association, said: "We are absolutely committed to ensuring as many of our most vulnerable young people as possible can stay with their foster families if they choose to, but these changes have to be sufficiently resourced."
He added: "Councils remain concerned that the cost to councils of keeping children with foster parents until they are 21 has been significantly underestimated by government."
The rule change, which came into force in March 2014, requires local authorities to provide financial support for every young person wanting to stay with their foster families until their 21st birthday.
The government is providing funding towards the cost of the Staying Put scheme.
Mr Timpson added: "We're already seeing spectacular success and we've made available new money, £44m, to councils over the next three years to try and meet that demand.
"And of course we'll need to keep that under review to make sure that every young person who chooses, because it's their choice, with the support of their foster carer, to remain living with them, gets that opportunity to do so.
"Because we know what a huge difference it can make to their prospects and future life."
Government figures for 2014 showed that 41% of 19-year-olds who left care were not in education, employment or training, compared with 13% of all 19-year-olds.
Heidi, 18, from Stoke, said she would not have known where to start if she had had to set up home on her own.
"I'd be like how do I work the oven, how do I work the cooker?" she said.
"I haven't had to worry that when I turned 18 I would have to find myself a place of my own, or leaving home.
"I've been able to concentrate on college work and not worry about moving out," she added.
Heather Clegg, who has fostered over 50 children, said: "It's very difficult for young people at 18 to move out into the world with everything you have to do to get a flat and find work... the prospect of that succeeding is very low."
According to The Fostering Network charity some 78% of children in care are placed with foster families.
The Fostering Network's chief executive Kevin Williams said the recent legislation was proving extremely effective.
But he called on the government to provide more support, guidance and finances to ensure "even more young people can benefit from this remarkable change in the care system".
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "Remaining in a loving, caring foster home enables them to move into adulthood in a stable way and we believe it will then reduce some of the poorer outcomes for looked-after children - young people who get involved in the criminal justice system, young people who may end up homeless, suffering with mental health issues.
"So, a real improvement in staying with their foster carers helps those young people move into independence at a more natural level, at a more appropriate time in the way that their peers do."
They said talking with so-called listeners in Maghaberry Prison was crucial in tackling serious depression.
One of the men has served six and a half years of a manslaughter sentence after killing a man in a fight.
He does not want to be identified, so we have agreed to call him John.
He began using the service run by the Samaritans shortly after being jailed, and last used it two and a half years ago.
John has a daughter who was born while he was in prison, and said he struggled to cope without his family and was haunted by what he had done.
"I came into jail for killing somebody and I had sort of no hope in here, and I ended up turning to drugs for the first couple of years and then after that my mental health started deteriorating," he said.
"I was really ashamed of what I had done and it took me a few years to deal with it."
John contacted a listener after a prison officer told him the service was available if he was feeling depressed.
At his lowest point he met a listener three times a week for a number of months.
"l felt suicidal a lot at that time. I was feeling really bad, really bad," he explained.
He said the meetings had a huge impact.
"I now see light at the end of the tunnel, I'm making plans for the future. At that time I had no plans, I more or less just had no hope," he said.
"Probably if I hadn't been able to contact the listener service I could have maybe self-harmed and stuff like that, so it made a big difference to my life.
"If you're sitting in your cell in despair and you've nobody to talk to, it's just going to keep going over and over [in your mind]. If you've a listener to talk to it takes you out of that frame of mind."
Michael Irwin also used the listener service after being sentenced to 12 years in prison for drug trafficking in 2007.
He spent the first two years in a jail in England before being transferred back to Magilligan prison near Limavady.
Michael said he struggled during those first two years because he was cut off from his family and friends.
He met a listener every night for a month, and the two men became friends.
"The impact of those meetings was amazing," he said.
"Daily life in prison is hard. People don't really understand, there's so many pressures.
"It doesn't take much, if you've got all this pent up anger and frustration, with lots of doubts bottled up, it doesn't take much to trigger it.
"If you've got a worry, you can just go and talk to one of these guys. Whenever somebody is just sitting there listening, you can just unravel, get all of your worries off your chest, and they aren't judging you or telling you what to do.
"That made a huge difference. Mentally, it helped me clear the air."
Having turned to a listener for help, Michael later volunteered to be one himself after being transferred back to Magilligan.
He said the fact that he had used the service made it easier for him to talk to prisoners seeking help.
"Being in somebody else's shoes or walking the walk, you hear that in prison a lot," he said.
"You know, 'how do you know how I feel if you haven't done it, you know nothing about my life'.
"I was able to say, well I sort of do. I was able to relate a hell of a lot more."
Michael said the work was often difficult because of the nature of the stories he was told, but added that he also gained from the experience.
"It can be deeply hurtful, but it can also be very rewarding whenever somebody comes through it and whenever you meet them a couple of days later or a week later and they're going 'what about you mate, thanks for that the other day', and you see the smile on the face.
"It gives you purpose. And obviously that is very lacking in prison, so you hold on to those things."
That sense of purpose helped motivated Michael to pursue education while behind bars and he completed a degree in criminology while in Magilligan.
Since his release after serving half of his sentence, he has been studying for a masters in criminology and plans to take it a step further and do a PhD.
He also still assists the Samaritans by helping train volunteers who deal with calls from prisoners needing help.
Police said the material was found when they searched the home of Micah Johnson in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite.
Five police officers were killed and seven wounded in a hail of gunfire during a protest against the shooting of black men by police.
Johnson died following a long stand-off with police in central Dallas.
Police confirmed media reports that the 25-year-old army veteran was the person killed when they remotely detonated explosives they sent into his hideaway near the scene of the shooting.
They said he had no criminal history.
Earlier, Police Chief David Brown said the suspect had told a negotiator that he had wanted to kill white people, especially white police officers, because he was angry about the recent shootings of black men by police.
Mr Brown added that the man had said he was not affiliated with any groups and he had acted alone.
US Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson appeared to confirm this in a statement later on Friday.
"At this time there appears to have been one gunman with no known links to or inspiration from any international terrorist organisation," he told a news conference in New York.

David Walliams, Hilary Mantel and Ian Rankin are among those whose books will be donated by publishers and sold by Waterstones for charity.
"Buy a book, help save a life," said Rankin.
"We are doing what we do best: bookselling," said Waterstones' James Daunt. "Every single penny of each book sold will go straight to Oxfam."
The Buy Books for Syria campaign is a joint initiative between authors, publishers and Waterstones.
Collaboration
Authors involved include Neil Gaiman, Ali Smith, Philip Pullman, Marian Keyes and Lee Child.
"The cause is so obviously good that anything we can do is worth doing." said Pullman; Ali Smith added: "I support this initiative with heart, mind and soul."
Best-selling children's writers including Julia Donaldson, Jacqueline Wilson and Michael Morpurgo are also taking part.
"We often speak as an industry about the power of books to change lives, " said Tom Weldon, CEO at Penguin Random House UK.
"Our aim with this campaign is to use the power of books to save lives.
"I'm humbled by the way publishers and authors are collaborating... I hope that together we can make a difference."
With the support of many major UK publishers, including Penguin Random House, Pan McMillan, HarperCollins, Hachette and Faber, Waterstones hopes to raise one million pounds for Oxfam's Syria Crisis Appeal.
The books, donated by publishers, will be stickered with 'Buy Books for Syria' and will go on sale in Waterstones shops from 1 October.
"Jack Reacher says: do your Christmas shopping at the Buy Books For Syria table!" said Jack Reacher's creator and author Lee Child.
"With £1m our programme could deliver clean water to another 150,000 people in Syria, or support to tens of thousands of people in Jordan over the next year," said Mark Goldring of Oxfam.
"This help is urgently needed as the conflict in Syria shows no sign of ending."
Last month, a campaign set up by children's author Patrick Ness to raise funds for Syrian refugees raised more than £150,000 in 24 hours.
Ness offered to match the first £10,000 in donations, an offer that was itself matched by fellow authors John Green, Derek Landy and Jojo Moyes.
In a game with a series of missed penalties, the 21-year-old made the difference at Meggetland.
"It's fantastic," Solomons told BBC Scotland.
"That's the big thing I've said in my vision for this club is becoming a bolder, sustainable club through our young Scottish talent."
He continued: "To see Damien play, and this is the ground he grew up on, to see him score two great tries is fantastic."
Solomons knows the performance was far from perfect, and had Isa Nacewa been more prolific with his penalties, Leinster could have edged it.
He said: "I want to thank all the fans, really, really appreciate it. Their support means a great deal to us and is a big encouragement to the team and there was a nice atmosphere here tonight.
"I think we have got to back this up with another win. Obviously we've got to go to Triviso which is never easy. There are a lot of areas in our game which we need to improve.
"We gave away far too many penalties, I think we had four penalties at the breakdown in the opening 17 minutes. Too many little errors, which denied us territory and possession. So there's a lot to work on, and our feet will certainly be on the ground.
"I'm very, very pleased with the result. Leinster are a good side and I thought they did well tonight. It's important for us to come away with a win, particularly when we play at home so little bit disappointed we didn't make that last conversion to deny them the bonus point but very pleased with a win.
"We've said that this is the year that we've got to evolve our attack and in the friendlies, particularly against Ulster, and again passages tonight especially in that first half were really, really positive so I think we are making progress with that."
The driving wind and rain made conditions difficult for both sides, but Hoyland praised his team-mates for the way they dealt with it.
He said: "We had to change a few things up a bit. It worked to our benefit in the end as we managed to keep the ball in their half. I think we adapted to the weather quite well.
"Leinster are obviously a very high calibre team. Going into this game people expected Edinburgh to be the underdogs but I think we showed people we're going to be strong contenders this season."
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland has placed male bear Arktos in an enclosure next to female Victoria's at its Highland Wildlife Park.
The society said Victoria was showing signs she might be ready to breed, but it would not be until later this month before the pair shared an enclosure.
Polar bear cubs were last born in the UK almost 25 years ago.
Arktos is one of two male bears at the park at Kincraig, near Aviemore.
He was deemed to be more suited genetically than younger male bear Walker for the breeding attempt.
George Francis Kidson was found by police on 5 November, 2015 at his Sowerby home and died four days later.
Ryan Brady Campbell, 30, of Racecourse Mews, Thirsk, was jailed for 11-and-a-half years at Teesside Crown Court.
He had denied murder but was found guilty of manslaughter following a trial.
In a statement, Mr Kidson's family said: "We have prematurely lost a valuable member of our family in desperately distressing circumstances, that must have led to him experiencing considerable pain and fear.
"For these reasons we welcome the verdict and sentencing passed today.
"We would like to pass our thanks to the North Yorkshire Police for their continued support and the manner in which the investigation was conducted."
Det Sup Matt Walker said: "This was a difficult and tragic case for everyone concerned and the sentence given to Campbell reflects the gravity of the offence he committed."
He added: "I hope the sentence gives his family some sense of justice and closure to what has been a very difficult time for them."
The cause of the blaze in the multi-storey Nasim Plastic building is still unclear, but it may have triggered by a faulty gas cylinder or boiler.
The fire was later brought under control. Fire-fighters are now searching through the rubble.
Factory fires are common in Bangladesh, where safety conditions are often poor.
In 2012, 112 workers died in a fire in the factory just outside the capital.
The country suffered an even greater tragedy in 2013 when the Rana Plaza garment factory complex collapsed on the outskirts of Dhaka, killing 1,135 people.
Hoey, 36, was two shots inside the cut mark of level par after his three-under-par round.
The Northern Irishman shares 31st place at the halfway stage although he is 10 behind leader Gregory Bourdy with Peter Lawrie the best Irishman on five under.
Hoey produced four birdies and a single bogey in a steady round at Atzenbrugg.
Galgorm Castle touring professional and five-time European Tour winner Hoey is currently only 122nd in the Race to Dubai standings.
Maybin lost his European Tour card at the end of last season and will almost certainly drop down further in the Race to Dubai from his current 209th spot.
The Ballyclare man has been handed a number of starts on the main tour this season but has struggle to make an impact.
Simon Thornton squeezed into the final two rounds on the cut mark of level after a 74.
After starting at the 10th, the county Down-based player was two under par after 15 holes but a double bogey at the seventh meant that he needed to par the closing two holes to progress to the weekend action.
Kevin Phelan missed the cut after a 75 left him on five over while Damien McGrane exited on 10 over after a second successive 77.
Frenchman Bourdy added a 67 to his his impressive 65 which left him four ahead of Chris Wood and Gary Stal.
Lawrie is sharing eighth place on five under after a 71 on Friday.

The Scottish Conservative leader was invited to take up the post with 32 Signal Regiment for a five-year term.
The reserve regiment commands squadrons based in Edinburgh, East Kilbride, Glasgow, Belfast and Darlington.
The honorary position is normally filled by a retired senior officer or member of the Royal family but can be undertaken by public figures.
Ms Davidson was asked to take on the role due to her work in the Territorial Army before she became an MSP and her backing of reserve forces while in parliament.
She said: "Reservists make up over a quarter of the British Army and the UK's defences rely upon them.
"As well as the specialist skills required for the type of regiment you join, the training you receive as a reservist develops leadership, decision making, teamwork, confidence and moral courage.
"I loved my time in uniform and am so grateful for everything it taught me. I am delighted to have been asked back to my former regiment to act as its honorary Colonel for the next five years."
Saturday marks Armed Forces Day across the UK.
RNLI Redcar volunteers were called out after a fishing boat suffered mechanical failure.
As the lifeboat began towing the disabled craft back to the River Tees, the rescue scene was visited by a small pod of dolphins.
RNLI helmsman Dave Scott said: "They were obviously curious to see what we were up to."
The scene was was captured by the helmet-mounted video camera worn by one of the lifeboat crew.
Mr Scott said: 'It was an absolute privilege to see such a wonderful natural phenomenon.
"It's certainly the first time for many years they've been spotted in this area during a rescue."
The struggling airline said the result was in part due to an A$2.6bn write-down on its international fleet.
Analysts were expecting a net loss of around A$750m.
Qantas said weak domestic demand, poor consumer spending and rising fuel costs also contributed to the huge loss.
It is the worst result in the company's history and compares with a revised after-tax profit of A$2m a year earlier.
One-off costs associated with redundancies contributed to the full-year loss, though, and the firm said its current underlying financial position was strong and improving.
The firm's underlying loss before tax for the year ending in June amounted to A$646m
"There is no doubt today's numbers are confronting," said the carrier's chief executive officer, Alan Joyce, "but they represent the year that is past".
He added that the airline would return to underlying profit in 2015.
Mr Joyce also confirmed the carrier would not sell its popular frequent flyer programme.
"Our cash balance and liquidity position is strong," he said, "and the group's overall financial performance is rapidly improving."
Despite the losses, Qantas's shares ended the day up by nearly 7%.
But Peter Esho, managing partner of wealth management firm 100 Doors, said the firm's report card was "inadequate".
"I don't buy into the underlying numbers," he told the BBC.
"At the end of the day shareholder value is being destroyed and there needs to be accountability at the board and management level."
He said a return to profit assumed too many variables that could be used as excuses for another poor year.
"It's an avoid for me until there is a significant change in the board and management of this business."
The national flag carrier has said for many months that it has been facing tough competition in both international and domestic markets.
It has been engaged in a price war in its domestic market with competing airline Virgin Australia.
The carrier had also argued the Australian government's laws that restricted it from accessing foreign funding had hampered its ability to compete with other airlines.
Lawmakers in Australia recently agreed to relax those laws, which prevented a foreign investor from owning more than 25% of the carrier.
Qantas last year also won approval for a new partnership with the Dubai-based airline Emirates - a move that was seen as key to the firm's attempts to revive around its loss-making international operations.
But in February this year, after reporting a heavy half-year financial loss, Qantas said it would cut 5,000 jobs.
Some 2,500 of those jobs cuts have been completed.
They make up part of the carrier's plans to reduce costs by A$2bn over the next three years.
"After an extremely difficult period, we are focused on building momentum with our turnaround in [the next 12 months]," said Mr Joyce.
The collection includes a Military Cross and an Albert Medal for gallantry.
They were awarded to William Marychurch Morgan from Jeffreyston, near Tenby.
He led a series of night raids across trenches in Arras in France 1916, and also served as a lieutenant colonel in World War Two.
His medals were brought to an antiques valuation event in Tenby last week, and will now go up for sale in March.
He was first awarded the Albert Medal Second Class in May 1916 after flinging himself on an unexploded grenade during a training session.
The citation revealed how the temporary second lieutenant to the 15 Royal Welch Fusiliers had fumbled about in mud to find the grenade thrown by a colleague, before hurling it away from his troops just in time to avoid deaths and serious injuries.
Then in October 1916 on his second stint in the frontline trenches he led raids into enemy territory.
"On seven consecutive nights, he carried out valuable reconnaissance under intense fire. Later, he led a daring raid himself, accounting for one of the enemy. He has previously done fine work," read his citation for the Military Cross.
It saw him promoted to temporary captain.
Medal specialist for the auctioneers Halls said it was a privilege to be selling such an "exceptional" medal group and anticipates keen interest from collectors.
Just 290 Albert Medals were ever awarded during the hundred years when it ranked as the highest recognition for civilian acts of bravery.
The medal collection goes on sale in Shrewsbury in Shropshire on 22-23 March.
Watford and Scotland midfielder Ikechi Anya dropped off shirts, tracksuits and boots at Oxfam in St Albans, where the club has its training ground.
At the time, shop volunteers did not realise who he was but found out after researching his name.
Anya, 27, tweeted about the donation but has not commented further on why he chose the anti-poverty campaign group.
He told staff at the shop he was a footballer and they then worked out who he was.

Ellie Hale, a 24-year-old volunteer, was there when he handed the clothes over on Thursday.
"I'm more of a rugby fan, so I didn't know who he was when he came in yesterday," she said.
"In fact, I didn't even know Watford was a Premier League club, so I just thought he was a guy who played locally.
"I finally found out who he was this morning, so it's all turned into quite a surprise."
Anya's career has also taken in Wycombe Wanderers, Northampton Town and a spell in Spain.
Abigail Owen, store manager, said: "We've no idea how much it could raise, but we've quipped it will help give poverty the boot.
"I didn't get to meet him, but it's fantastic to receive things from a footballer because it really raises the profile of the charity."
The Chequer Street store said it would be provide details about the eBay sale via its Twitter account and expected to open the auction on Wednesday.
A once-a-decade poll of 15,000 Britons found those aged 16-44 were having sex fewer than five times a month.
The figure compared with more than six times a month on the last two occasions when the official National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles was carried out, in 1990-91 and 1999-2001.
The study's authors say modern life may be having an impact on libidos.
Dr Cath Mercer, from University College London, said: "People are worried about their jobs, worried about money. They are not in the mood for sex.
"But we also think modern technologies are behind the trend too. People have tablets and smartphones and they are taking them into the bedroom, using Twitter and Facebook, answering emails."
She also said the survey suggested that couples aged 16 to 44 may be using online porn as a substitute for sex.
Men polled in 2010 to 2012 reported having sex 4.9 times a month and women 4.8. In both previous surveys the averages were more than six for both sexes both times.
The survey carried out by NatCen Social Research and analysed by researchers from University College London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine also asked older people about their sex lives.
It found 42% of women and 60% of men aged 65 to 74 had had sex in the past year.
Nonetheless, they were the age groups having the least sex - 2.3 times a month for men and 1.4 for women.
Among men, the 25-to-34 age group were having the most sex - 5.4 times a month - and for women it was the 16-to-24 age group, 5.8 times.
The latest survey, which is carried out every 10 years, also shows the age at which people start having sex is lower in the younger age groups.
The average age for the under-25s is 16 compared with 19 for men and 18 for women in the 65-to-74 age group.
Among other findings:
Genevieve Edwards, from Marie Stopes International, said: "A key insight from the survey is that people are having sex earlier and having children later, which means that, on average, women in Britain spend about 30 years of their life needing to avert an unplanned pregnancy, yet many are not being informed about or offered the full range of services.
"Long-acting contraceptives, for example, can be extremely effective and convenient but too many are never offered the choice."
But the poll - the full details of which have been reported in the Lancet - also revealed the extent to which people are forced to have sex against their will.
One in 10 women and one in 70 men said they had experienced it.
However, fewer than half had told anyone about it and even fewer (13% of women and 8% of men) had reported the crime to the police.

There are seven bidders for the businesses, involving more than 11,000 jobs and the Port Talbot steel works.
But Community union members, who met in London on Tuesday, said steelworkers were "less certain of their future than ever" as three months had passed since the sale announcement.
Tata UK said the company was committed to an urgent sale process.
A spokesman added: "Negotiations about various aspects of the sales process continue with interested parties."
The union said employees, customers and suppliers deserved to know Tata's intentions.
It said: "Since that first announcement, the trust and good will of Tata's loyal workforce has been pushed to the limit.
"If Tata do indeed intend to retain the business, then they need not only to make this clear to their loyal workforce, but also lay out their long term plan for investment in steelmaking."
It is understood three bidders could be shortlisted: steel and energy firm Liberty; management-led Excalibur; and Yorkshire-based equity and turnaround specialists Endless LLP with the support of American tycoon Wilbur Ross.
Former Det Ch Supt Colin Andrews, 57, is accused of carrying out the rape in a hotel room, in December 2003.
Mr Andrews, who retired earlier this year, was "controlling and bullying", Manchester Crown Court heard.
He denies rape, two counts of common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, stalking, harassment and witness intimidation.
The former murder detective was also described as "manipulative", the jury was told.
On the opening day of what is expected to be a four-week trial, the court heard the attack came months after another incident in which he pushed the woman in the stomach, causing her to fall backwards, hitting her head, and leaving her very scared.
The father of one, from Brough in East Yorkshire, is also accused of pursuing a campaign of stalking and harassment against another woman in the summer of 2013, during which he sent thousands of unwanted text messages and emails, the court heard.
Prosecutor Owen Edwards said Mr Andrews "was good at his job as a police officer and he is described by many as a charming man".
He said: "He is also obsessive, jealous and controlling and sought to dominate the lives of women. He is a control freak who resorted to physical, and at one stage, sexual violence."
While suffering a "significant and sustained mid-life crisis", events were said to have reached a climax in August last year when Mr Andrews was confronted in the street by a stranger while having an argument.
As the concerned passer-by began to phone the police, Mr Andrews hit him in the face and then threatened him, the court heard.
The trial continues.

Danny Ings escaped Ross Barkley to head James Milner's corner past a static Everton keeper Tim Howard, but the game's outstanding performer Romelu Lukaku pounced on Emre Can's poor clearance to level just before half-time.
Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet kept his team in contention, before Ings scored, with two magnificent saves from Steven Naismith and James McCarthy.
Everton looked the stronger and more likely winners as the game progressed, and Rodgers was sacked an hour after full-time.

Rodgers will have known this had the potential to be a defining game in a managerial tenure that was coming under intense examination.
With Jurgen Klopp, Carlo Ancelotti and Frank de Boer heavily linked with Anfield, Rodgers knew defeat in such a high-profile fixture against their neighbours was not an option. It turned out that a draw was not enough.
He may have even hoped for victory when Ings scored, but Everton deserved their point and arguably more besides, led by the rampaging Lukaku.
It was not a result or performance that could clear the clouds hanging over Rodgers.
Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group acted fast and now have the international break to choose their new man.
As Chelsea plunge into crisis and down to 16th place in the Premier League after the loss to Southampton at Stamford Bridge, some of their supporters may just have an envious glance towards the performance of Lukaku.
Chelsea raked in a handsome £28m when they sold Lukaku to Everton in the summer of 2014, but he looked worth every penny once more as he terrorised the Liverpool defence.
Lukaku left defenders Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho living on their nerves as he dominated the aerial and physical challenges, scoring a deserved goal and leading Everton's attack.
The only problem he had was a lack of support in and around when he was winning those headers and some very mixed service - but he looked the real deal.
Lukaku's career has, so far, been something of a tale of unfulfilled promise but at 22 he has all the weapons to develop into a world-class striker. He is now adding goals, with one here on top of his match-winning double at West Brom on Monday.
Rodgers and Everton counterpart Roberto Martinez will both be desolate about the defending that led to both goals.
Ross Barkley lost Ings and Howard was nailed to his line as the former Burnley striker headed in James Miner's corner from five yards while Can's lashed, panicky clearance struck his own team-mate - Skrtel - before bouncing invitingly for Lukaku.
Everton fielded an unfamiliar back four with John Stones and Seamus Coleman out injured and three making their first Merseyside derby starts in Brendan Galloway, Tylas Browning and £9.5m Ramiro Funes Mori.
Galloway continued, as he has done all season, to look a class act in an unfamiliar left-back role, while Funes Mori improved as the game went on alongside the immaculate Phil Jagielka, making a couple of crucial interceptions.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "Phil Jagielka, in my opinion, has been the best centre-half in the Premier League for the last 12 months and his relationship with the young Ramiro Funes Mori was outstanding.
"Tylas Browning and Brendan Galloway and our whole back four were outstanding, martialled by keeper Tim Howard. The senior players led very well."
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers: "Our mentality in the game was outstanding, the draw was the least we deserved.
"I have got the passion, the players have got the passion and it never waned. What is forgotten is we lost four catalysts from team and that is huge. It is a constant rebuilding - this season is about that as well."
Bolton manager Neil Lennon speaking on BBC Radio 5 live: "Liverpool were the better team in the first half. On balance a draw is a fair result.
"Their second-half performance was not great but they defended well and limited Everton to few chances."
Everton host Manchester United in their next game after the international break on Saturday, 17 October, while on the same day Liverpool have a trip to White Hart Lane to face Tottenham.

Tyrone led 0-7 to 0-5 at half-time but pulled away after the break, picking off regular points and scoring two goals through substitute Ronan O'Neill.
The Red Hands' 2-17 to 0-15 success secured a 15th Ulster crown for the county and a sixth Anglo-Celt Cup triumph for their manager Mickey Harte.
Defender Cathal McCarron was sent-off late on for his part in a fracas.
Tyrone's Kieran McGeary was black-carded for pulling down Jerome Johnston in first-half injury-time, with Down's Kevin McKernan perhaps unfortunate to meet a similar fate early in the second half for an off-the-ball challenge on Sean Cavanagh.
Re-live the action from the Clones final as it happened
Down's search for a first Ulster title since 1994 continues, the Mournemen now having appeared in six Ulster finals since then, losing five and drawing one.
Tyrone complete an Ulster Championship double for a fourth time, having most recently achieved the feat in 2009-10.
The seventh Ulster final between the counties and the first since 2003 saw the holders move four points clear at 0-6 to 0-2 but 12-time winners Down battled back to within a single score.
Darragh O'Hanlon fired a right-foot shot wide from close range, a crucial miss in the context of his side's revival at that stage.
After McGeary's enforced departure from the fray, Mattie Donnelly's fisted point put two points between the sides at half-time and Harte's men moved into overdrive on the resumption, registering a further seven unanswered points to lead by nine.
Eamonn Burns' side came into the game more but the final was effectively over as a contest when O'Neill fired a low left-foot shot into the net in the 55th minute.
O'Neill grabbed his second nine minutes later with an exquisite left-foot chip over the head of Down goalkeeper Michael Cunningham.
Mark Poland was forced to come off injured after being accidentally caught by Colm Cavanagh's knee, with McCarron being sent to the sideline for his part in a subsequent melee involving several players from both teams.
The eventual eight-point winning margin provided an accurate representation of Tyrone's second-half dominance and the Ulster champions will now move into the All-Ireland quarter-finals with confidence.
Padraig Hampsey's impressive display was rewarded with the man-of-the-match award, with Tyrone skipper Sean Cavanagh performing well on what will be his final Ulster final appearance given his imminent retirement from inter-county football at the conclusion of the present campaign.
Down will be disappointed not to be more competitive in their first Ulster final appearance since 2012 and will now face Ulster opponents in the form of Armagh or Monaghan in the qualifiers, teams they have already beaten at provincial level this season.

Ireland's Fernandez played the first foul shot of a World Championship qualifier against Gary Wilson in April.
The foul enabled other people to profit by betting on it, a World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association investigation found.
Fernandez, 40, had recently secured a professional tour place for the first time since 2008.
His ban runs until 27 August, 2017.
Fernandez will also pay £2,000 costs to the WPBSA, the sport's governing body, and has agreed to help with the organisation's anti-corruption education work.
WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson said: "Leo Fernandez had just qualified to play on the WSL tour this season as a full professional and by his actions he has thrown away this opportunity.
"This demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that all aspects of matches in World Snooker events are competed in a fair and honest manner."
The proposal followed a consultation which attracted more than 600 responses.
It would also see the introduction of a licensing scheme for the killing of wild salmon caught in rivers.
The moves have been welcomed by the Association of Salmon Fishery Boards.
Scotland's biggest salmon netting company, Usan Salmon, said it was confident it would be allowed to start catching again once accurate salmon stock measurements have been taken.
A Scottish government notice states: "In terms of paragraph 11 of schedule 1 to the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 2003 (the Act) notice is hereby given that the Scottish ministers propose to make conservation regulations under section 38 of the Act to introduce a licensing system for the killing of wild salmon in Scotland and a prohibition on the taking of salmon outwith inland waters."
It said: "The general effect of this proposal will be: (a) to prohibit the taking of Atlantic salmon outwith inland waters. (b) to prohibit the killing of salmon in Scotland without a licence."
Objections to the regulations must be submitted by 19 August.
The Scottish government said no decision had yet been taken but it would consider all the responses.
A spokeswoman said: "Our consultation on wild fisheries reform is ongoing and we are in the process of engaging with stakeholders."
Super-fan Oskar Pycroft, who has cerebral palsy, was handed the award at a star-studded ceremony on Sunday.
Last year, fans of the club and rivals Bristol Rovers helped raise £57,000 to pay for Oskar's surgery.
Oskar, who has never missed a home game, said winning was "just amazing".
In January, Oskar, whose bedroom is adorned with City memorabilia, stepped out in front of the crowd at the Championship side's Ashton Gate ground.
Speaking at the ceremony in Manchester on Sunday, Oskar said it had been "a hard tough time all through my life".
His mother Lizzy Pycroft said her son was "a character" and he had "brought lots of people together - both City and Rovers".
"To me, he's always my little boy but to others he's been an inspiration. I find it really strange because I see the 'day in, day out' but for him to be recognised is awesome."
The number of people out of work fell by 161,000 to 2.16 million, bringing the unemployment rate down to 6.6%.
The number of people in work rose by a record 345,000, to 30.5 million, most of which are in full-time employment.
But the quarterly rate of earnings growth, including bonuses, slowed to 0.7% from 1.9% the previous month.
This was largely due to delayed bonus payments, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. Excluding bonuses, pay rose by 0.9%.
The total number of people out of work is now at its lowest level for more than five years, with youth unemployment, which covers 16-24 year olds, standing at 853,000.
The number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance in May fell by 27,400 to 1.09 million, the ONS said.
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted that the government had reached a "major milestone" in its long term economic plan, with "two million new private sector jobs since 2010".
Labour's shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves told the BBC that the slowing rise in wage increases meant that "even people in work are struggling to make ends meet".
The continuing improvement in the jobs market in the three months to April was due mainly to jobs created in the private sector.
By Robert PestonEconomics editor
The number of jobs lost in the public sector was 103,000, but much of this this was down to the reclassification of employees of Lloyds bank from the public to the private sector. Taking out the Lloyds workers, 11,000 jobs were lost in the public sector.
There were 5.4 million people employed in the public sector and 25.1 million in the private sector, up 447,000 on the previous three-month period.
"The rise in employment this month is concentrated in full-time employees, not self-employment, which in the past has been used to 'talk down' the strength of the rise," said David Tinsley at BNP Paribas.
"Indeed, there was a sharp fall in the proportion of people working part-time who say they are doing so because they can't find a full-time job, which is one of the Bank of England's favourite metrics of disguised slack."
Analysts said the ONS figures sent mixed messages to the Bank of England's interest rate-setting committee.
"Labour market strength is the driving force behind calls for interest rate increases from the Bank of England, sooner rather than later, and today's figures will add fuel to their fire," said Jeremy Cook, chief economist at World First.
"However, wage growth has fallen to 0.7%, versus an expected 1.2%, and this is still a major cause for concern. As a result I am still expecting the Bank to hold policy right through into the second quarter of 2015, mainly courtesy of the lack of real wage increases."
The inflation rate in the UK currently stands at 1.8%, meaning wages are increasing at a slower rate than prices.
"Weak pay growth and the 'cost of living crisis' remains the Achilles heel of the economic recovery," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit.
"But it should not be long until we see earnings growth accelerate as the labour market continues to tighten. Pay growth should pick up in coming months, perhaps significantly."
The figures for unemployment in the three months to April are based on the Labour Force Survey, in which the ONS speaks to 60,000 households once a quarter, making it the country's biggest household survey.
The ONS is 95% confident that the figure of a 161,000 fall in unemployment is correct to plus or minus 85,000 people.
Darren Owen, 51, received seven years and four months after pleading guilty at Cardiff Crown Court to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and dangerous driving including ramming a police car.
Lee Brearley, 35, was given three years and two months after admitting conspiracy to supply class A drugs.
The south Wales pair were arrested in Rhondda Cynon Taff on 6 December 2014.
Police saw packages being exchanged between the pair in a lane between Ynysybwl and Perthcelyn.
Both drove at high speeds to evade capture, damaging police vehicles, injuring officers and causing damage to property nearby.
A kilogram of cocaine with a street value of £375,000 was found in Brearley's car.
After ramming a police vehicle head-on, Owen ran off on foot, with police finding a carrier bag containing £35,500 in cash nearby.
The 34-year-old won 79 caps and was part of manager Michael O'Neill's squad at the Euro 2016 finals in France.
He played his final game for Northern Ireland in their opening game of the tournament, a defeat by Poland in Nice.
"I am not getting any younger and I feel it is the right thing to do at this stage," said Baird.
The versatile County Antrim man made his debut against Italy in 2003 and has played at right-back, centre-back and more recently as a defensive midfielder for his country.
He lined out in nine of the 10 qualification games that took O'Neill's side to Euro 2016.
"It was a tough decision because I have enjoyed every single minute that I have played for Northern Ireland," added the former Southampton, Fulham and West Bromwich Albion player, who also had spells with Reading and Burnley.
"Qualification for Euro 2016 was the icing on the cake for my international career, but I have so many fantastic memories, like the win over England and beating Spain.
"I am fortunate to have lined out with some great players over the past 13 years and I would like to thank the managers, coaches and Irish FA staff that I have worked over that time.
"I would also like to thank the Northern Ireland fans who have been absolutely tremendous. It is true - they are the best supporters in the world."
O'Neill added: "Chris has been an absolute rock for me in the four years that I have been in charge. His defensive qualities, his reading of the game and his experience have been invaluable, especially in our Euro 2016 qualification campaign.
"In addition to his football ability, he is also a fantastic person and we will miss him around the squad.
"Chris has been a tremendous servant to Northern Ireland. I fully respect his decision to retire from international football at this stage and I wish him every success as he continues his highly successful club career."
Players and officials have given mixed reactions to the panel being set up by world football's governing body.
They are accused by the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) of attempting to fix a goalless draw 2010 World Cup qualifier against South Africa in Pretoria.
Eleven officials and four players, who have all denied any wrongdoing. have been suspended since 2014 pending an investigations.
The SLFA president Isha Johansen confirmed the establishment of the Fifa panel on Thursday.
"An international investigative body is being set up which will, together with one appointed person from Sierra Leone look into the match fixing allegations," she said.
However one of the officials being looked into, Rodney Michael the former chairman of Sierra Leone Premier League board, is questioning the legality of the Fifa body.
"I am revered for demanding adherence to the principles of transparency, accountability and constitutionality and thus will only appear before a legitimate body," Michael told BBC Sport.
"Fifa has always maintained internal issues do not fall under their remit.
"Fifa will have to justify the sudden change of policy in setting up their committee rather than use the independent ethics board elected by the SLFA Congress.
"My position is purely on principles and not in fear, as I have adequate evidence to prove my innocence in front of any committee."
Another of those accused, who preferred to remain anonymous, agreed with Michael's interpretation of the SLFA rules but also welcomed the move.
"It's a total contravention of the SLFA constitution. But if that will help speed the process that has stalled for over three years, then let it be," he said.
"Am tired of the time wasted and am pretty sure I will be vindicated because I don't have anything wrongfully to hide or to answer to."
"I hope they will do it fast and clear our names because I'm confident that I'm innocent."
One of the players accused is the former Leone Stars goalkeeper Christian Caulker, who is currently based in USA, is happy with the latest developments.
"We welcome the investigations. This is what we've been calling for," Caulker told BBC Sport.
"We've been suspended for three years now without any investigations and it has seriously affected our careers.
"They should compensate us for tarnishing our reputation and wasting of time if they don't find us guilty. I know I'm innocent.
Johansen's statement came a week before her executive's term of office comes to an end it remains unclear whether she will stand for re-election.
However elections will not be held on or before 3 August after Fifa suspended the SLFA ordinary congress that should have paved way for an elective congress.
When Eliza Small started seriously restricting her eating two years ago, she was referred for specialist help.
Her family had a history of eating disorders. But she was refused specialist outpatient mental health treatment because her body mass index (BMI) was too high.
''It made me feel like I wasn't good enough at my eating disorder," she said.
"It made me feel like I would have to get better at it.''
Which she did. A family member eventually paid for her to have private treatment and she was diagnosed with atypical anorexia - all the symptoms but not the right weight.
But what is the right weight?
Prof Tim Kendall, England's most senior mental health adviser, says weight shouldn't come into it.
''If you leave an eating disorder until it's got to the point where, say with anorexia, they've lost say a third of their body weight, that has a lot of longer-term consequences which make it very difficult to treat, so it's wrong in my view to leave this until it's got very bad.
"To be told you're not thin enough - it's almost an incitement to get worse. It's like someone going to their GP and being told - you drink one bottle of whisky a day right now? Come back when you drink two.''
Prof Kendall believes patient choice is important and community care has a much better chance of success. It should never be withdrawn, he says, and hospital treatment should be enforced only in the most extreme cases.
Guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) state that on its own, BMI is an unreliable measure of an eating disorder.
BBC Breakfast asked all 62 mental health trusts in England and Wales if they used BMI to decide who would qualify for outpatient eating disorder services.
Of the 44 trusts which responded, one-third said they did.
All said they used it along with other indicators - such as the speed of weight loss. Three trusts, however, said it was a primary measure. They were Derbyshire, Coventry and Kent and Medway.
In some areas, patients might be refused access to services if their BMI was over 14. In others, like Kent and Medway, if it was over 17.5.
Some trusts said they had a minimum threshold under which people might be refused outpatient services.
This is what happened to Claire: ''The first thing they did was weigh me and tell me my BMI was too low.
"I would have to go to hospital. I didn't want to, I'd had a bad experience before and I thought I was making good progress as an outpatient. So I was left to my own devices.
"Everyone's eating-disorder experience is completely different, you can't put everybody in the same box - you have to listen to the person, to how they are feeling."
Sarah Hodge, from Kent and Medway Partnership Trust eating disorder service, said they would rather not use it as a measure at all, but the problem was resources.
''You can have much more success when people have a higher BMI, they're much better able to engage with the therapy. But we just don't have the resources.''
The Department of Health says more funding is on the way: "We are investing £150m to develop community services in every area of the country for children and young people." Eating disorder guidelines from NICE are being redrafted. The hope is some of these concerns will be addressed when new guidelines are published later in the year."
Eliza said: ''You wouldn't tell someone with cancer to come back when their condition had deteriorated, why tell someone with an eating disorder?"
725,000
people affected in the UK
11%
of patients are male
49% of those being treated in hospital are under 20
40% of patients have bulimia
10% are anorexic
50% have binge-eating diorders
Research from the eating disorders charity Beat suggests more than 725,000 people in the UK are affected by an eating disorder.
The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence estimates around 11% of those affected by an eating disorder are male.
The Health and Care Information Centre published figures in February 2014 showing an 8% rise in the number of inpatient hospital admissions in the 12 months to October 2013.
It is estimated that around 40% of people with an eating disorder have bulimia, 10% anorexia, and the rest other conditions, such as binge-eating disorder.
Many eating disorders develop during adolescence, but it is not at all unusual for people to develop eating disorders earlier or later in life.

Fit and fat: Is BMI the best way to tell if you're healthy?
Where are you on the global fat scale?
Update 4 August 2016: This story has been amended to remove the Cumbria trust from the list of trusts using BMI as a primary indicator. Although it told the BBC that BMI was a primary indicator, the trust has since stressed that it is one of a number of criteria used after a diagnosis of anorexia.
The scheme is believed to be England's biggest wireless broadband scheme, based on transmitter numbers, 120.
Six councils back wider plans to bring download speeds of 24Mbps to 80Mbps for 95% of Devon and Somerset by 2017.
Planning permission for masts to help carry broadband across moorland, wooded ravines, and farmland is being sought.
Phase one of the Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) scheme began in 2013 and now supplies 220,000 homes and businesses - largely using "fibre to the cabinet" technology - a mixture of fibre optic and copper cables.
But phase two will see radio technology used to deliver wireless broadband with speeds of up to 30Mbps over the "geographically challenging" national parks, which cover an area between them of 1,646 km squared.
Somerset councillor David Hall said: "It's the biggest wireless broadband project in England and it will transform businesses and the lives of thousands of people on the moors."
The aim is to reach 5,800 homes, farms and businesses over an area roughly 1,646 sq/km using radios attached to masts or transmitters. Permission is sought for one 50m tall mast, some 25m tall masts and others averaging 12m tall.
Those behind the scheme say most transmitters will not be attached to masts - but to existing church towers, barns and other buildings or wooden telegraph poles, to limit the "visual impact to the Moors".
Most of the Dartmoor planning applications have now been submitted by CDS while the Exmoor applications have been designed and are due to be submitted shortly.
According to UK telecoms regulator Ofcom, the average UK broadband speed was 22.8Mbps as of November 2014, while rural speeds averaged a third of that.
Mr Santorum launched his campaign on Wednesday at an event in his home state, Pennsylvania.
The former senator won several key races in 2012, emphasising social issues like abortion and gay marriage.
But he may have trouble standing out in the crowded the field of 2016 Republican candidates.
Santorum stuck to his key themes of traditional family structure, increased support for middle-class working families and lower taxes in his speech.
"As middle America is hollowing out, we can't sit idly by," Santorum said. "We don't need another president who is tied to big government or big money. Today is the day we begin to fight back."
He also talked about supporting US war veterans and getting them access to healthcare quicker.
Santorum said if he is elected president, the US "will defeat ISIS".
If history were a good judge, Rick Santorum's 2012 second-place campaign performance should have left him well positioned for a 2016 bid to capture the party's top prize.
Mitt Romney went from runner-up in 2008 to nominee in 2012. John McCain took silver in 2000 and gold in 2008. George HW Bush, Bob Dole, even Ronald Reagan - all turned earlier losing efforts into eventual Republican nominations.
And yet Mr Santorum is already being treated by much of the media as a 2016 also-ran, and he registers toward the bottom of the pack in polls and money raised.
In early appearances he's tried to blend his trademark evangelical conservatism with foreign policy experience gained during his tenure in the Senate and a blue-collar pitch to working Americans. It's a combination that could distinguish him in this crowded field - but he's up against a formidable assortment of well-funded fresh faces and established names this time around.
Mr Santorum will compete against candidates like former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who have all been actively courting Mr Santorum's base of socially conservative and religious voters.
The sheer number of candidates for the White House has created logistical issues for debate moderators.
Fox News, which will host the first Republican debate, has decided to the limit the field to 10, based the candidates' standings in recent national polls.
Mr Santorum, who would just qualify for the debate based on recent polling, took issue with the Fox News decision, calling it arbitrary.
Balfour said its PPP contracts, which include long-term agreements to run projects such as schools and hospitals, were worth far more than the offer.
The company said that the loss of its PPP business would have an impact on its remaining operations.
Balfour shares plunged in September after the firm issued a profit warning.
The offer from the John Laing Infrastructure Fund "falls significantly short" of the value of the PPP portfolio, Balfour said.
"The directors' valuation of the PPP portfolio stood at £1.05bn, as at 28 June 2014," the company said.
"However, the group's targeted approach to selling individual assets as each investment matures, combined with the current and expected future strength of the market, leads the board to conclude that the realisable value of the PPP portfolio continues to be substantially in excess of the current directors' valuation," it added.
The company's shares closed 15.3% lower on the day it issued its profits warning in September, compounding concerns over the UK's biggest construction group.
Balfour Beatty said there would be a further shortfall of £75m this year in its UK construction services division, following two earlier profits warnings this year.
The company appointed accountants KPMG at the end of September to review the contract portfolio. | The former Bishop of Gloucester said he has "lost confidence and weight" after being cleared of alleged sex assaults.

Rachel Bradley's group lost their gear when a canoe capsized in the Candelaria river, in the Yucatan Peninsula.
The group, which included the 31-year-old from Stockton-on-Tees and fellow Briton Mike Burgess, 52, of Plymouth, got lost in a "labyrinth of swamps".
They were forced to stay in a tree for much of the time for safety.
A team of local rescuers eventually found the group, which also included a 42-year-old man from Gibraltar and a 24-year-old man from Mexico.
They lost their clothes, food and communication equipment when one of their two canoes capsized on 17 October.
The were exploring the area for environmental consultancy Ninth Wave Global.
Ms Bradley said the team became lost in a combination of unexpected rapids and a "labyrinth" of swamps and waterfalls created by heavy rainfall.
She said: "The water just kept flowing faster and faster, and by that point we realised it was too late to go back.
"We abandoned our second boat to try and exit the jungle on foot. But it quickly became obvious the safest option was to stop walking and wait for help to arrive.
"Having lost most of our possessions in the river, we had to drink river water and ate raw fish caught in a mosquito net.
"We stayed in this tree and explored a few different exit routes, walking to the other side of the palm field and swimming up and down stream.
"However, the best thing was to stay put. We had a safe place to sleep and a clear area if anything came overhead.
"We had a bag of M&M's which we shared on the first evening and then we rationed a bag of caramelised peanuts I had - five each per sitting.
"By day three, my colleagues had started testing a local fruit they recognised and had caught some small fish using my mosquito net.
"They cut the heads off and swallowed them whole."
After the party failed to return on time, officials at Ninth Wave raised the alarm.
A spokesman for the Hertfordshire-based organisation said: "Rachel and the others were found by a local search team who helped them get out of the jungle to food, clean water and a bed for the night."

World number 13 O'Sullivan begins his quest for a record-breaking seventh Masters crown against China's Liang Wenbo in the first round on Sunday.
But the 41-year-old told BBC Sport: "I want to try to win playing an exciting, aggressive and attacking game.
"It is OK to win, but I want to win with style."
O'Sullivan said he wanted fans to be able to say he doesn't just win, but he "delivers entertainment as well".
"I think I have done that over the over the last five or six years," he added.
"I have put on some magnificent performances - performances I am very proud of.
"Sometimes people say you can't play like that and win. Well, Michael van Gerwen has proved you can, Lionel Messi proves you can, Tiger Woods does, Roger Federer does. I want to try to be one of them."
Victory for O'Sullivan at Alexandra Palace would move the 28-time ranking event winner clear of Stephen Hendry and see him retain the title he won by thrashing Barry Hawkins 10-1 in 2016.
"I still want to win tournaments - but for me it is about people coming to watch, people switching on their televisions wanting to see good entertainment," he said.
"It would be great to get another Masters, not because it's the seventh, but because it's the Masters. I don't think 'I've got to break the record', I just want to win another Masters.
"I want to win another Worlds and another Welsh and China Open. I just want to win more tournaments."
Although he dominated a one-sided final against Hawkins last season, O'Sullivan said a back injury meant he struggled and feared for his career.
"I slipped a disc and I couldn't get in the right position for my shots," he said. "Fortunately I overcame that a couple of weeks after the Masters and it is not a problem now.
"But it was really hard mentally. I was struggling because I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to play properly again because of my back.
"Winning the tournament is the main goal and that was a great box ticked, but my performance wasn't great. I have played a lot better and lost tournaments. I think I got a bit lucky in some ways."
This time around he is far happier with his fitness - and his form - after a difficult start to the season.
"The first two months of the season were difficult because I didn't really practise going into the season," the Essex man said. "I didn't really play for three months.
"I lost matches early on and it wasn't losing the matches that bothered me, it was how I was playing. I was struggling and getting to the last 16 was a good result."
O'Sullivan reached finals at the European Open final in Romania as well as the Champion of Champions event in Coventry, before losing a high-quality UK Championship final to world number one Mark Selby.
"From mid-November to mid-December I had a really good month where I was happy with my form and I was enjoying it," he said.
The invitation tournament is one of snooker's triple crown events and features the world's top 16 players competing for a top prize of £200,000.
"Sometimes it's the easiest one to win because you are playing against the best players," said O'Sullivan.
"You know what they will do and what they will bring to the table; you know their what their best game is like, what their worst game is like and what their middle game is like. You know everything about their games.
"The tougher matches are sometimes guys that you don't know; you don't know their strengths and weaknesses.
"With the Masters you know what you are getting involved in."

The film adaption of Roald Dahl's story The Big Friendly Giant was partly shot on Skye and Orkney.
David Broder said: "Scotland provided The BFG with very dramatic mountain and island locations that became our Giants Land, a place of wonder and awe."
VisitScotland hopes the film will boost tourist visits to Skye and Orkney.
Mr Broder said the Scottish government, along with public bodies and charities, helped the film's production team to shoot scenes on the islands.
He said: "We received great help from Creative Scotland, Scottish ministers, RSPB Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland and the friendly, helpful residents of Skye and the Orkney Islands."
Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland, said cinema played an important part in encouraging tourists to come to Scotland.
He said: "With 40% of visitors to the UK inspired to come here after seeing a location on film or on television, the appearance of Skye and Orkney in Steven Spielberg's latest movie can only be great news, not only for the islands themselves, but for Scottish tourism as a whole."
Tourism Secretary Fiona Hyslop added: "Our island communities serve as a unique backdrop for TV and film productions, with dramatic landscapes and seascapes.
"These movies shine a spotlight on some of Scotland's greatest assets, icons and hidden gems, which helps attract tourists to our island and rural communities."
Tourism body VisitBritain has already promoted The Storr, a geological feature of the landscape in Trotternish, Skye, used for the film, in its campaign called Oh My Giant Britain (OMGB).
The BFG opened in the US on 1 July and in the UK on Friday.
Skye is a favourite with film-makers and provided backdrops for Stardust, which starred Michelle Pfieffer, big budget sci-fi Prometheus, Snow White and the Huntsman, Keanu Reeves' film 47 Ronin and the latest film adaption of Macbeth.
Last month it emerged that the production team behind The BFG were helped by Highland's Council's small tourism and film unit with its inquiries about locations on Skye. | The locations manager for Steven Spielberg's latest movie, The BFG, has said Scotland provided the perfect landscapes for scenes in the film. | 36,834,172 | 491 | 31 | false |
Sofiane Boufal is a doubt after pulling a muscle in training but Uruguayan defender Martin Caceres is fit and could make his debut.
Palace are without Scott Dann, who suffered knee ligament damage during the win at Chelsea.
James Tomkins and Patrick van Aanholt are also out but Loic Remy has returned to training and may feature.
Tony Husband: "A Crystal Palace fan cut my hair last week and when I suggested Sam Allardyce would steer them to safety he warned me to take a look at their daunting fixture list.
"Palace still have to play Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool and both Manchester clubs. So the barber's point, with no disrespect aimed at Southampton, was that three points is a must on the south coast.
"However, that was before the Eagles' stunning win at Chelsea. The low-scoring Saints will want to avoid going the same way as the champions-elect and need a performance in front of their home fans.
"If Palace win, my barber will be singing while he's trimming next time around."

Southampton manager Claude Puel: "It's important to have a good focus and concentration against a strong Palace team.
"It's also important that we score goals from different areas. It is not just the work of the strikers, but the work for all."
Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce: "You'd hope we could target a point, given the form we're in.
"We have to be at 100%. Every player was at their top level on Saturday.
"I told the boys to enjoy the [Chelsea] victory at home. There's no real time to celebrate. There's still a way to go."

Dennis is joining the cast as King Arthur on 3 August, while Davis will make his West End debut when he takes on the role of Patsy on 23 September.
Dennis, who appeared with Davis in the BBC comedy Life's Too Short, said he was "really looking forward to always looking on the bright side of life".
He is scheduled to appear in the musical until 2 November.
"As a kid I was always a massive fan of Monty Python so when Spamalot came to town I thought, 'I'd really love to be in that'," he said
"And now I'm excited that I'm actually not just in it, but playing the lead role."
Davis said he "jumped" at the opportunity to star in the show.
"I've been in hit TV shows and blockbuster Hollywood movies, but you are never really taken seriously as an actor until you've done a play," he said.
Role of God
Spamalot currently stars Bonnie Langford as Lady of the Lake.
The current run will also feature a video recording of different celebrities, including Barbara Windsor, Christopher Biggins and Larry Lamb, playing the role of God for one week.
Spamalot, written by Monty Python star Eric Idle and John Du Prez, and directed by Christopher Luscombe, is showing at the Playhouse Theatre.
Like Monty Python And The Holy Grail, the film upon which it is based, the stage comedy is about a group of medieval knights searching for the mythical Holy Grail but the plot broadens out to spoof Broadway, and various musicals, including those of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The stage show premiered on Broadway in 2005 and went on to win three Tony Awards.
Last month a film producer won a High Court case against the surviving members of Monty Python over royalty rights to Spamalot.
Mark Forstater, who co-produced the 1975 film, claimed he was underpaid royalties since the musical's launch in 2005.
Members of the public came across the man in Millburn Road at about 01:20 on Sunday. He is being treated in the city's Raigmore Hospital.
Police said they have traced a Ford Fiesta which was the subject of an earlier appeal.
They did, however, renew their appeal for anyone who had information about the incident to contact them.
Bindi Lee Porth, 37, was at Cable beach, a popular tourist destination in the Western Australian town of Broome.
Broome is known for a 130-million-year-old set of dinosaur footprints which were found along its coastline.
But fossilised footprints like this were not previously known to exist in the main tourist area of Cable beach.
Ms Porth says she did not believe the prints were real when she first saw them.
"I thought no, they couldn't have been real because there'd be signs or some sort of notification to let people know these prints are here," she told ABC Australia.
Ms Porth had been collecting sea shells and walking around a big pile of rocks when she said she felt an "amazing sense of energy" coming from under her right foot.
"I lifted my foot up and found a bit of an indent in the sand. I got my toes and swished around and it washed away to show a beautiful dinosaur footprint," she told the BBC.
Ms Porth, who has been living in Broome for two years, had previously walked the area more than a hundred times.
She found six prints in total, with the prints believed to come from two different dinosaurs according to palaeontologists, says Ms Porth.
"I've been speaking non-stop to two palaeontologists since I found the prints and they say they're very impressed because they definitely look like dinosaur footprints."
She added that it was an "amazing experience" to stand in the footprint of a creature 130 million years old.
However, the footprints are not a new find and were acknowledged by indigenous Australians centuries earlier, according to palaeontologist Steve Salisbury from the University of Queensland.
"This is not a new discovery, they've just been buried in the sand for about 38 years," he told the BBC.
"The indigenous community knew they were there for thousands of years but it's great Bindi noticed they had re-emerged because we weren't aware they could be seen again. The coast is a very dynamic environment. If you spend any time in that area you will see the beaches change dramatically."
Dr Salisbury will be one of many palaeontologists making their way to Broome over the next few weeks to view the prints first hand.
But until then, Ms Porth is making sure they are well guarded.
"I haven't left the beach practically since I found them," she said. "I feel like they're my babies and I want to protect them."
In the year to March 2016, there were 38 homicide victims in that age group, compared with 56 the previous year.
The details are contained in an Office for National Statistics analysis of violent crime and sexual offences.
Overall, there were 571 homicides, a category that includes manslaughter, murder and infanticide - up 57 on 2015.
The figures show 69% of homicide victims were male, 31% female, with marked increases in male victims aged 25 to 34, and 75 and over.
The ONS said 44% of women were killed by their partner or ex-partner and 35% of male victims died at the hands of a friend or acquaintance. Nineteen per cent of female victims were strangled.
Of the 38 child victims, 22 were killed by a parent or step-parent, and four were known to have been killed by a stranger.
As in previous years, the most common method of killing was by knife or other sharp instrument with 213 victims. The second most common method was kicking or hitting.
Twenty-six people were shot dead.
Similar to previous years, about a half of all homicide cases resulted from a quarrel, a revenge attack or a loss of temper.
By last November, a suspect had been charged in 79% of cases.
The ONS said the incidence rate for homicide remained relatively low, with 9.9 homicides recorded per million of the population during the year ending March 2016.
This is higher than the rate for the last four years but still one of the lowest homicide rates since the late 1970s.
Among under-16s, there had been 44 homicide victims in the year ending March 2014.
Data on homicide victims by age of victim was first published 45 years ago.
During the summer, a High Court judge ruled Mr Hunt acted outside his powers when he decided the emergency and maternity units should be cut back.
The government turned to the Court of Appeal on Monday in an attempt to get the decision overruled.
Mr Hunt had previously claimed the move would improve patient care.
Following the ruling, Mr Hunt said: "I completely understand why the residents of Lewisham did not want any change in their A&E services, but my job as health secretary is to protect patients across south London - and doctors said these proposals would save lives.
"We are now looking at the law to make sure that at a time of great challenge the NHS is able to change and innovate when local doctors believe it is in the interests of patients."
At the High Court in July, Mr Justice Silber said Mr Hunt's decision was unlawful as he lacked power and breached the National Health Services Act 2006.
It was said the cuts would also mean local people having "to travel a long, long way further to get access to vital services".
Under government policy Mr Hunt had appointed a trust special administrator (TSA) to the South London Healthcare Trust, which went into administration after losing more than £1m a week.
To help ease the problem, the TSA recommended cuts at the Hospital.
At the Court of Appeal on Monday Rory Phillips QC, for the Health Secretary and the TSA, argued they had not acted outside their powers.
They challenged Mr Justice Silber's findings that the TSA was not entitled to recommend the changes and that Mr Hunt was not entitled to implement them.
Referring to the 2006 Act, Mr Phillips said its "wording, statutory context and purpose" should have led Mr Justice Silber "to conclude that they were entitled so to act, consistently with Parliament's evident intention".
The challenge against the government was brought by Save Lewisham Hospital and the London Borough of Lewisham.
Rosa Curling, who represented the campaign group, said: "We are absolutely delighted with the Court of Appeal's decision.
"This expensive waste of time for the government should serve as a wake up call that they cannot ride roughshod over the needs of the people.
"The decision to dismiss the appeal also reaffirms the need for judicial review, a legal process by which the unlawful decisions of public bodies, including the government, can be challenged by the public."
Andy Burnham, Labour's shadow health secretary, described the decision as a "humiliation" for Mr Hunt that "raises major questions about his judgment".
He said: "Instead of graciously accepting the first court ruling, he has squandered thousands of [pounds of] taxpayers' money trying to protect his own pride and defend the indefensible.
"Today, the secretary of state must accept this decision, apologise unreservedly to the people of Lewisham and give an unequivocal commitment that their A&E will not now be downgraded."
Mayor of Lewisham Sir Steve Bullock said: "This is a great result. I was confident of our case but I am still very relieved.
"This is another victory for each and every individual who signed a petition, who wrote to the secretary of state and who marched through the streets of Lewisham."
The decision was made by Lord Dyson, Lord Justice Sullivan and Lord Justice Underhill.
There has been an "abrupt rise" in the number of cases in England and Wales as people do not realise the risk, scientists advising the government say.
Sausages should be cooked for 20 minutes to reach 70C internally to kill the virus, they said.
Although serious cases are rare, HEV can cause liver damage or be fatal.
Official government figures show there were 124 confirmed cases of HEV in 2003, which rose to 691 cases in 2013. There were 461 cases in the first six months of this year.
Symptoms include jaundice and sometimes tiredness, fever, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
Most people will get over the virus, although for some, such as those with an immune deficiency disorder, or pregnant women, it can prove fatal.
Prof Richard Tedder, at University College London (UCL), said HEV was "very common" in the UK - not all cases are noticed or recorded.
"This virus is taking off within the pig herds from which this country sources its processed pig meat in sausages and pork pies," he said.
Prof Tedder said sausages needed to be "caramelised" - cooked thoroughly - before eating to make sure they did not pose a health risk.
"It's a question of getting people to change," he said. "Everybody knows you can get salmonella from chicken."
However, he said, the figure of 1 in 10 sausages presenting a potential risk of hepatitis E infection if undercooked should be interpreted with caution.
"This figure was taken from a small survey (63 sausages), and is unlikely to be representative of the UK as a whole.
"Given what is known about the prevalence of high viraemia at the time of slaughter in the UK, a more representative figure would be about 1 in 100, or 1% of sausages, and any risk of infection can be alleviated by ensuring sausages are cooked thoroughly."
He said the virus occurred in the animal and in the blood system and warned it would continue unless there was a "big change" in animal practices, such as introducing different hygiene measures.
Dr Richard Bendall, at the Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust, said HEV was the most common virus passed on through animals in Britain.
He said the virus was found in 10% of sausages and processed pork meat.
This estimate comes from a study that looked at the pork production chain in the UK.
Dr Harry Dalton, also at the Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust, said the virus was not just confined to pigs, people had caught it from strawberries irrigated with infected water.
Shellfish in west Scotland and Tuscany had also infected people, he said.
In Asia and Africa, hepatitis E is more commonly transmitted by contaminated drinking water.
Worcestershire-based fairground operator Henry Danter has been in talks with the owners and the Vale of Glamorgan council this week.
The council said it wanted the site to continue to be used "and enhanced" for leisure purposes.
The fair has been an attraction since 1920 and had 400,000 visitors over a bank holiday at its peak in 1934.
In recent years it found new fame with the TV comedy Gavin and Stacey after featuring in the BBC show, but the attraction has struggled after the nearby Butlins holiday camp closed 18 years ago.
There was an application for restaurants, a cinema, bowling alley and 124 flats on the site two years ago.
But senior councillors have been keen to include a "vibrant fairground".
They have been helping to bring together the owners Hilco and businessman Ian Rogers with an investor.
Councillors last month admitted progress had been "at times frustrating" and "slow" while the site was turning into an eyesore.
Last month, debris was blown from the funfair, temporarily closing surrounding roads.
Officials said it was "puzzling" that the first phase of the most recent plans mostly involved housing.
"We have made it clear to the applicant on several occasions that any redevelopment has to have regard to the future use of the funfair site," said director of development services Rob Thomas.
"To this end, how and when the funfair site is brought forward is of utmost importance, and these are discussions that we continue to progress."
Mr Danter, who runs Treasure Island fairground in Stourport-on-Severn, visited the fair as a child and has 50 years fairground experience.

A study by Plantlife said juniper was in a "critical state" due to the spread of the deadly fungal disease phytophthora austrocedrae.
The report followed a science survey carried out by amateur enthusiasts.
As well as an ingredient for Scottish gin producers, juniper provides food for some wildlife including the juniper shield bug.
The report concludes that the decline of juniper is caused by the failure of juniper bushes - many of which are over a century old - to produce seeds.
Campaigners say juniper is distinctive for its greenish blue needles and the dark purple berries that are used in the production of gin.
The shrub has been living on Scotland's mountains, moors, and woodlands since the last ice age thousands of years ago.
The Plantlife group say phytophthora austrocedrae has only been recorded in Argentina and the UK.
Once infected, a juniper bush turns orange then brown.
The Plantlife survey found that 63% of bushes surveyed in Scotland were found to have brown patches, and 79% of juniper recorded in 2014 was either mature, old or dead.
Deborah Long, head of Plantlife Scotland, said: "Volunteer citizen science surveys are helping us understand what is happening to juniper in Scotland.
"We know juniper populations are struggling, but they now face an additional threat. It is thanks to these citizen scientists who have been helping us monitor the species, that we can start working with land owners to help juniper communities become more resistant to the threats they face, including this new disease.
"We need to ensure juniper has a future."
Murdo Fraser MSP, the Conservative politician representing Mid-Scotland and Fife and a 'species champion' for juniper, added: "Juniper is one of our most iconic species.
"Used not only by birds as cover and food, juniper is a key native plant for human use too. Today though, juniper is in trouble.
"Plantlife's report is a call to action for us all to do what we can for juniper."

RSPCA chief inspector Dermot Murphy says: "Many animals can't sweat through their skin in the same way as humans and only cool down by panting and sweating through glands in their feet."
He advises simple things such as moving animals out of direct sunlight, topping up drinking water and waiting until the cooler part of the day to walk your dog or ride your horse.
The biggest issue is dogs being left in hot cars. Mr Murphy says: "Dogs should never be left alone in a vehicle."
The golden rule for animals, as with humans, is to keep them hydrated with a constant supply of clean drinking water.

David Cameron said the system must be changed because truancy was harmful to children's life chances.
"All the evidence is that if children consistently miss school, they get a worse education, they get worse results and as a result they have less good prospects for the rest of their lives," he told BBC Breakfast.
"So this is about making sure our children get the great future and the great start in life that they need."
At the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, he is expected to say: "There is nothing responsible about allowing your child to go without an education.
"So for parents who let their child play truant and refuse to pay truancy penalties, we will deduct it from their child benefit."
The Press Association says it obtained figures earlier this year which showed 16,430 people in England were prosecuted last year for failing to ensure that a child went to school.
About three-quarters - 12,479 - of these were found guilty, and courts issued 9,214 parents with fines worth an average of £172.
Mr Cameron first spoke of the idea of cutting benefits for parents of regular truants in September 2011.
And a key government adviser on school behaviour called for the same measure in April 2012.
But Chris Keates, general secretary of the teachers union NASUWT, said docking benefits was not the answer.
"For some families all that this will do, of course, is increase the chaos and it will increase the deprivation," he said.
"It won't actually solve the problem and in the middle of all of this is a child who's not getting their entitlement to education..."
Meanwhile, the prime minister will also announce a new right for parents in England to request that schools provide breakfast and after-school clubs or holiday care.
Schools will not be obliged to provide these when asked, but will have to publish reasons why they do not respond to such requests from parents or childcare providers.
This will apply to all state-maintained primary schools, as well as new academies and free schools.
The island side were 10-7 up at half-time thanks to a Jordan Davies try at the Madejski Stadium, after Tom Parton had earlier gone over for the hosts.
Nick Haining powered over to extend the advantage, before Ciaran Hearn's score helped Irish edge ahead.
But Callum Sheedy's penalty and Nick Selway's try sent Jersey through to face Munster A in the final in Ireland.
The semi-final was played just eight days after a Championship meeting between the sides, when in-form Jersey inflicted a first league defeat of the season on their opponents.
Both Sheedy and Theo Brophy Clews missed early long-range penalties before the visitors edged 3-0 ahead.
Midway through the half, though, the Championship leaders caught Jersey off guard for the opening try when England Under-20 international Parton eased in down the left wing after a quickly-taken free kick.
Jersey hit back before the break thanks to the power and agility of former Sale centre Davies, who stretched out for the line after good work from Tongan Kuki Ma'afu.
The Reds started the second half brightly as Australian number number eight Haining sneaked in on the blindside for his try.
Errors started to creep in to Jersey's play as the prize of reaching the final grew nearer. and George Watkins should have gone over for a try but knocked-on, while Sheedy's penalty went dead instead of setting up a attacking line-out.
The Exiles capitalised when Hearn went over by the posts after a series of drives and then Brophy Clews put Irish 17-15 ahead after the Reds strayed offside.
But as the game headed for its climax, Gerard Ellis was sent to the sin-bin for an infringement at a maul and Sheedy bravely took the responsibility to put Jersey back in front.
With a man advantage and time ticking away, replacement hooker Selway burst off the side of a rolling maul for a converted try to seal a 10th consecutive win for his side.
Irish assistant coach Paul Hodgson told BBC Radio Berkshire:
"There's disappointment. We were out to win this semi-final and go on to win the cup.
"For this group of players, it's served a great purpose for us and given game time for those guys who haven't been playing regular Championship rugby.
"I thought the boys showed so much character out there. We wanted to show some physicality and intensity, which we did.
"There were just a few other areas of the game that didn't go our way and we'll have to definitely fix those going forward to the play-offs."
Reds head coach Harvey Biljon told BBC Radio Jersey:
"Who would've thought we could beat London Irish two weeks, back-to-back.
"I think immense credit must go to the players - to back up the physical performances there have been over the past four, five, six weeks is just something else.
"I think today was about, in the second half, rolling up the sleeves and getting on with it, it was just a tough, tough game."

Long-finned pilot whales typically live in large groups in deep waters beyond the edge of the continental shelf in the Atlantic.
But they occasionally come closer to the British Isles for food.
Research charity Sea Watch Foundation said there had been four sightings in a week - "a very unusual occurrence".
Kathy James, sightings officer for Sea Watch Foundation, said: "We'd love people to get out there to look for these enigmatic whales and report any sightings to us."
Dr Peter Evans, director of the research charity, said pilot whales typically live in large groups and feed on oceanic squid or shoaling fish.
"It is likely that an abundance of a particular prey species brought them into Welsh coastal waters on this occasion," he added.
Quigley, 19, had loan spells at Woking and Wrexham last term and has also previously spent time at Torquay.
"I've come here to help the team get into the Championship while scoring as many goals as I can," Quigley told the Gills' website.
"I gained a lot from the physical side of non-league football while on loan at Wrexham and Woking."
Quigley is Gillingham's fourth summer signing this week, following the arrivals of Lee Martin and Scott Wagstaff on two-year deals and defender Deji Oshilaja on loan from Cardiff City.

In a speech in London - billed as his campaign launch - Mr Johnson said he did not believe he could provide the leadership or unity needed.
It comes after Justice Secretary and fellow Brexit campaigner Michael Gove's surprise announcement on Thursday morning that he would run for leader.
Home Secretary Theresa May is among the candidates. Nominations closed at noon.
Also in the running are Energy minister Andrea Leadsom and former Defence Secretary Liam Fox - who campaigned to leave the EU - and Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb, who backed Remain.
The contest was sparked after David Cameron announced he would resign following the EU referendum result, which saw the UK vote by 52% to 48% to leave the EU.
Mr Johnson's unexpected - and dramatic - announcement that he would not stand for Tory leader or prime minister, positions he is long thought to have harboured ambitions for, has dramatically altered the race.
By Ben Wright, BBC political correspondent
"Shakespearian" is the word being mumbled by dazed politicians and pundits at Westminster.
The ambitions, rivalries and duplicitous double-dealing unleashed before the Tory leadership contest even got underway has left onlookers groping for fictional comparisons.
It's Richard III meets Scarface, with a bit of Godfather thrown in.
Remember this: David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and George Osborne grew up together - personally and politically. Their families were close. But the EU referendum ripped through old loyalties.
First Michael Gove backed the Leave campaign, knowing the damage it could do to Cameron and Osborne. The chancellor and Gove kept their friendship intact despite the strain of the campaign.
But it was Boris Johnson's decision to lead the Leave campaign and put his own ambitions to be prime minister ahead of loyalty to David Cameron that severed his relationship with the now departing PM, destroyed by Leave's victory.
Boris Johnson believed the crown would be his and naively believed Michael Gove's promises of support. But now Mr Gove, despite polite protestations he never coveted the top job, has ruthlessly dispatched his friend.
What has been going on behind the scenes? The truth will only emerge in memoirs.
But my sense is Mr Gove and his team of advisers clearly did not believe Boris Johnson had the spine to fully divorce Britain from the EU. Nor did a number of Tory Mps trust Mr Johnson to deliver the promises he was making in terms of personnel and jobs.
When Mr Gove made his move, hardened Brexit believers instantly went with him, sinking Boris Johnson.
The irony of course is that Boris Johnson, who did so much to take Britain out of the EU, has seen his own ambitions crushed in the aftermath.
It could be that the big winner from this vicious Tory drama is the woman in charge of law and order - Theresa May.
Addressing reporters in a new conference just moments before the deadline for nominations passed, Mr Johnson said the next Conservative leader would have to unify his party and ensure that Britain stood tall in the world.
"Having consulted colleagues and in view of the circumstances in Parliament, I have concluded that person cannot be me," he said.
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said it was an "astonishing turn of events".
Home Secretary Theresa May: The 59-year-old is the bookies' favourite to win the contest. She's held the Home Office brief - often something of a poisoned chalice - since 2010, and is a former Tory party chairman. She says she can offer the "strong leadership" and unity the UK needs, and promised a "positive vision" for the country's future. She backed staying in the EU.
Justice Secretary Michael Gove: The 48-year-old former newspaper columnist was a key figure in the party's modernisation that led to its return to power in 2010. He was a reforming, if controversial, education secretary between 2010 and 2014, and now holds the Ministry of Justice brief. He was a leading player in the Brexit campaign - which put a strain on his close friendship with David Cameron. He has pitched himself as the candidate that can provide "unity and change."
Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb: The 43-year-old was promoted to the cabinet in 2014 as Welsh secretary, and boosted his profile earlier this year when he took over as work and pensions secretary. A rising star of the Tory party he has promised to unite the party and country following the referendum result and provide stability. Raised on a council estate by a single mother, he has a back story to which many Tory MPs are attracted. Backed Remain.
Energy minister Andrea Leadsom: The 53-year-old former banker and fund manager was one of the stars of the Leave campaign. A former district councillor, she became MP for South Northamptonshire in 2010 and - after serving as a junior Treasury minister and as a member of the Treasury select committee - she was made a junior minister in the energy and climate change department in May last year.
Former cabinet minister Liam Fox: It's second time around for the 54-year-old ex-defence secretary and GP, who came a close third in the 2005 leadership contest. His cabinet career was cut short in 2011 when he resigned following a lobbying row. A Brexit campaigner, and on the right of the party, he has said whoever becomes PM must accept "the instruction" of the British people and not "try to backslide" over EU membership.
Mr Gove - who has pitched himself as a candidate that can offer "unity and change" and deliver the Brexit result- had been expected to back Mr Johnson for the leadership.
But he said he had concluded that "Boris cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead".
Justice minister and Leave campaigner Dominic Raab, who switched sides from supporting Mr Johnson to Mr Gove, said the former London mayor's "cavalier" attitude had scuppered the plan.
The FBI and justice department face questions over their handling of her use of a private email server.
FBI director James Comey's decision to reopen an investigation 11 days before the election shook up the race.
Mr Trump tweeted that Mrs Clinton was "guilty as hell".
The president-elect continues to fire out tweets on a range of subjects just a week before his inauguration.
In the latest batch his anger over alleged compromising material held on him by Russia shows no sign of abating, again calling it "fake news" and "phony allegations" put together by "my political opponents and a failed spy afraid of being sued".
He then turned to Thursday's announcement that a US government watchdog was to investigate the actions taken by the FBI and the justice department during the election campaign.
After he won the election, Mr Trump had toned down his rhetoric against his opponent, refusing to follow up on his election mantra that she should be "locked up" for criminal behaviour.

On Friday, he tweeted: "What are Hillary Clinton's people complaining about with respect to the FBI. Based on the information they had she should never have been allowed to run - guilty as hell.
"They were VERY nice to her. She lost because she campaigned in the wrong states - no enthusiasm!"
On Thursday, the Department of Justice (DoJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz said he would look into "certain actions" by the FBI and DoJ.
Although Mrs Clinton was cleared of any wrongdoing days before the US voted, her team blamed Mr Comey's announcement as a key factor in her defeat.
Mr Horowitz said his review would look at a news conference in July 2016 when Mr Comey said he would not recommend charges against Mrs Clinton.
A letter to Congress on 28 October, in which Mr Comey said there were more emails to look at, will also be subject to this new inquiry.
The inspector general said his investigation had come in response to "numerous" requests from the public and from members of Congress.
Mrs Clinton said she had set up a home email server for reasons of convenience, but admitted it was a mistake.
In clearing her in July, the FBI said Mrs Clinton and her staff were "extremely careless" in handling classified materials. But there was no evidence of intentional wrongdoing, it said.
Then in October they briefly reopened the investigation after finding new related emails but nothing was found on them and the case was closed for a second time.
In another of his tweets Mr Trump repeated that: "My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days!"

Trump and brands - an uneasy relationship
In his press conference on Wednesday, Mr Trump said he wanted a report into hacking of all types, including defence and industry.
He also admitted for the first time "I think it was Russia" when asked about hacking of the election campaign, but said many others had also hacked the US.
US intelligence agencies this month released an unclassified version of a report alleging that the Russian government had a "clear preference" for Mr Trump to win the US election.
The report says Russian President Vladimir Putin "ordered" a campaign aimed at influencing the outcome.
US intelligence agencies are also weighing claims that Moscow is holding compromising information about Mr Trump.
Unsubstantiated allegations suggest his election team colluded with Russia and that there were salacious videos of his private life, including claims of using prostitutes at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow.
In his series of tweets on Friday, the president-elect called the claims "made-up facts by sleazebag political operatives".
New ECB chief executive Tom Harrison had told BBC Test Match Special in August that they were considering a reduction in the County Championship from the current 16 to 14 matches.
But it has been revealed that there will now be no such reduction for 2016.
The ECB will talk again over the winter to discuss possible changes for 2017.
"There have been a lot of valuable conversations across the game over recent weeks, and the time and feedback have been widely appreciated," said a spokesman.
"We've heard both a desire to look at the long-term interests of the game and an understandable need to have more detail on the impact of any future changes.
"Clearly, more discussion will be helpful for everyone - and these constructive conversations will focus on the long-term strategy as well as the domestic structure, to help us all make the right decisions."
The first county to respond to the ECB statement were Sussex, who say that they "had considered the evolving situation and had recommended that the ECB adopt a cautious approach to changing the current domestic schedule".
Some county members and traditional fans were opposed to any changes that would lead to them watching fewer four-day games.
But domestic players are keen to reduce the amount of cricket they play, according to a recent survey made among 240 members of the Professional Cricketers' Association.
That attitude has been backed by two prominent members of the cricket media, former England coach David Lloyd and ex-England skipper Michael Vaughan.
Former Lancashire and England opening batsman Lloyd told BBC Sport last week that there is too much county cricket.
And BBC Test Match Special summariser Vaughan tweeted his thoughts.
"So the people put in charge to run English Cricket present change and nothing happens!!!?? Ridiculous," said the former Yorkshire and England opener. "What is the point of having a new chairman/CEO and director of English cricket if they can't implement change?"
Vaughan's TMS colleague and former England spinner Graeme Swann also took to social media to comment: "And so the dark ages remain..."
India's food safety regulator says tests have found the instant noodles "unsafe and hazardous" and has accused Nestle of failing to comply with food safety laws.
The company insists that the noodles are safe and is challenging the ban.
Nestle has 80% of India's instant noodles market.
The company said in a statement that the value of withdrawn noodles include stocks taken off the shelves and stocks stored in factories and with distributors.
"There will be additional costs to take into account, for example bringing stock from the market, transporting the stock to the destruction points, destruction cost etc. The final figure will have to be confirmed at a later date," Nestle said.
Earlier this month, Nestle began withdrawing the Maggi brand from stores, after regulators said they found higher-than-allowed levels of lead in some packets.
The company is challenging the ban in the high court in the city of Mumbai and "raised issues of interpretation" of India's food safety laws.
Nestle's global chief executive Paul Bulcke has asked to see the results of the laboratory tests and promised to return Maggi to store shelves soon.
Several states have also been testing the noodles for the chemical monosodium glutamate, widely known as MSG.
The instant noodles arrived in India in 1983 and can be found in corner shops across the country.
Ministers want to bring the offence, which has a maximum sentence of 14 years, in line with manslaughter.
Motorists who cause death by speeding, street racing or while on a mobile phone are among those who could face longer sentences.
Road safety charity Brake welcomed the plans, but is worried the lesser charge of "careless" driving could remain.
Offenders convicted while under the influence of drink or drugs could also be given life sentences.
In 2015, the average custodial sentence for causing death by careless or dangerous driving was just under four years.
Is the law tough enough on killer drivers?
Dawn Brown-Lartey's son, Joseph, was killed instantly when a motorist who was racing crashed into him and split his car in two.
The driver, who had no insurance and only a provisional licence, was sentenced to six years.
"Our life is changed beyond recognition," she told BBC Breakfast.
Claiming he travelled from Leeds to Manchester in 11 minutes, the motorist posted pictures on Snapchat of his speedometer reaching 140mph on a motorway and running a red light at 82mph in a 30mph zone.
"The police were saying that this was the most severe crash that they'd gone to on an urban road and this boy, you know he's a boy, is only going to serve three years in a young offenders [institute]," she added.
Janice Ward's daughter, Rachael, was killed by a driver who was racing while high on drugs. He received a seven-year jail term.
She told BBC Radio 5 live victims' families and friends felt let down by sentences.
"It's just not reflecting the seriousness of the crime. When a car's driven like that it's a lethal weapon and it should be classed the same as using any other lethal weapon. It should mean a life sentence."
Stephen Oldham, a solicitor who specialises in representing motorists accused of offences, said there should be different levels of culpability to fit different types of driving behaviour.
Speaking to Breakfast, he said life sentences were generally reserved for people who have "gone out of their way" to commit these serious offences and have displayed intentional recklessness to kill or to cause serious injury.
"That's often the element that's missing with the driving case," he added.
Justice Minister Sam Gyimah said it was "impossible to compensate for the death of a loved one", but he was determined to make sure the punishment fitted the crime.
"Killer drivers ruin lives. Their actions cause immeasurable pain to families, who must endure tragic, unnecessary losses," he added.
Gary Rae, campaigns director for Brake, hailed the "vindication" of its efforts calling for change, but said the offence of careless driving should also be scrapped.
"Some of the strongest feedback we have received from the families we work with is that there is nothing careless about taking someone else's life," he said.
The charity is also seeking clarification on whether the current automatic 50% discount - which means convicted drivers serve only half their term in jail - would still apply.
Under separate plans announced earlier this year, the Department of Transport is set to double the punishment for using a mobile phone while driving. Fines will rise from £100 to £200 and penalty points will go up from three to six.
Republicans changed the rules in order to allow Mr Trump's picks to go ahead.
The next stage of the confirmation process is a full vote in the Senate.
Mr Trump said he would advise Senate Republicans to "go nuclear" if his Supreme Court pick was blocked.
The phrase is a reference to the so-called nuclear option, a parliamentary procedure which would change the rules and allow the Senate to approve a nomination with a simple majority.
Senate Democrats have implied they will try to filibuster or talk out a vote on Judge Neil Gorsuch, Mr Trump's nominee for the nation's highest court, which would mean the confirmation would require a supermajority of 60.
For cabinet positions, the president's nominees are first grilled by the relevant Senate committee, before passing to the full Senate for confirmation.
The nomination of Jess Sessions as attorney general was approved in a full justice committee vote along party lines on Wednesday.
But after Democrats on the finance committee said on Tuesday that they needed more time and information about Mr Trump's picks for health secretary, Tom Price, and treasury secretary, former banker Steve Mnuchin, Republicans on the finance committee got them through anyway.
The Republicans suspended a rule that requires at least one Democrat to be there for the vote in order that they could go through despite the opposition party's absence.
Finance committee chairman Senator Orrin Hatch was angry at the Democrats' boycott.
"We took some unprecedented actions today due to the unprecedented obstruction on the part of our colleagues," he told reporters.
Senator Sherrod Brown, one of the Democrats on the committee, tweeted his reasons for boycotting the committee hearing:
Republicans hold a 52-48 majority in the full Senate and the membership of Senate committees reflects this ratio.
Meanwhile, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called for Mr Trump's ban on people from seven mainly Muslim countries entering the United States to be lifted "sooner rather than later".
The restrictions, which last for 90 days, were imposed last Friday by Mr Trump in an executive order. He said it was to safeguard the US from terrorism.
But Mr Guterres said the measures were not an effective way of protecting countries from terrorists.
They will face a Bangladesh side whom they have met only once before.
Edwards told the ECB's website: "To get three games against really tough opposition was fantastic, but to get three wins was even more important.
"We've got to play well in every single game if we're going to go further in this competition."
England overcame New Zealand twice and South Africa once in warm-ups, as they prepare for a tournament they won on home soil in 2009 - but subsequently have found themselves outgunned by Australia, who were champions in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
You can watch in-game highlights of England v Bangladesh - and the later men's game between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan - on the BBC Sport website.
While many English seam bowlers traditionally flounder on the subcontinent, in Anya Shrubsole they have the leading wicket-taker across the last two Women's World Twenty20 events - who earned the player of the tournament award in 2014.
The Somerset right-armer has a better bowling average, economy rate and strike rate in both T20s and one-day internationals in Asia than she does at home.
But, speaking before the recent tour of South Africa, Shrubsole told BBC Sport: "I don't think there's any big secret.
"As an inswing bowler, on the subcontinent I'm just trying to bowl more balls that are going to hit the stumps than not.
"If you bowl too short, you're going to get whacked. A good length is normally a good length wherever you're playing."
Australia, who do not begin their title defence until Friday, are in the other group - so cannot meet England until the semi-finals at the earliest.
The Southern Stars beat England in the 2012 and 2014 finals, edged them out at the group stage in 2010 - and are now in possession of the Women's Ashes after winning last summer's multi-format series in England.
"We can't hide from the fact that they've got the better of us in recent ICC tournaments, but we showed in the Twenty20 internationals at the end of the Ashes that we can beat them," Shrubsole added.
"A lack of consistency cost us the Ashes. It's about making sure we perform on the day."

The good Samaritan ensured the match avoided being abandoned after an injury to referee Andy Davies.
Newport used their Twitter account to seek a qualified official after Davies pulled a hamstring.
An appeal was issued over the tannoy at half time and fan Paul Gobbett took over fourth official duties.
The supporter involvement spared the need for any action from Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock, who is a qualified referee and was part of the record low crowd of 368 at Rodney Parade.
"I put out the announcement at half time and a guy came pretty quickly from the Hazell Stand," stadium announcer Tim Thraves told BBC Wales Sport.
"The referee was injured so the fourth official had to step in. The fourth official became the referee and the fan became the fourth official.
"Neil Warnock was there as well, but we didn't need to call him."
This was the second time in just over a year that a fan at a Newport match has gone from the terraces to the touchline.
Portsmouth fan Mike Hurdle took over fourth official duties last year at his team's match against Newport after an injury to referee James Adcock.
The Moskva cruiser's long-range air defence system will provide cover for Russian aircraft, as will the S-400 missiles which arrived on Thursday.
The row over Turkey's downing of a Russian combat jet on Tuesday rages on.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned Russia not to "play with fire" with its operations in Syria.
Russia has suspended its visa-free arrangement with Turkey and is planning to introduce a wide range of economic sanctions. President Vladimir Putin wants an apology from Turkey before he will speak to Mr Erdogan.
Moscow rejected Turkey's assertion that its SU-24 fighter jet had flown into Turkish air space for 17 seconds after ignoring repeated warnings to change course.
A senior Russian commander said the jet had in fact been "ambushed" by two Turkish F-16s patrolling the area for more than an hour beforehand.
He said Russian and Syrian radar data proved that a Turkish jet had fired a missile from 2km (1.2 miles) inside Syria. Turkey did not respond to the allegation.
The long-range S-400 system was delivered to Russia's Hmeimim air base just 50km from the border with Turkey.
Russian aircraft have been using the base to attack opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad since 30 September.
Turkey, which is a member of Nato and of a US-led coalition in the region, insists Mr Assad must step down before any political solution to the Syrian conflict is found.
Both countries say they are trying to rid the region of the so-called Islamic State (IS) group, which claimed the recent attacks on Paris and also on a Russian airliner.
In a televised speech, Mr Erdogan warned Russia it was "playing with fire to attack the Syrian opposition, who have international legitimacy, under the pretext of fighting against Daesh [another name for IS]".
He accused Moscow of seeking to use the downing of the jet as an "excuse to make unacceptable accusations against us", and accused Russians of "mistreating" Turkish citizens who were in the country for a trade fair.
Mr Erdogan said he hoped to meet Mr Putin face to face on the sidelines of the climate summit in Paris next week "to bring the issue to a reasonable point. We are disturbed that the issue has been escalated".
While he has refused to apologise, Mr Erdogan did say on Thursday that had Turkey known the plane was Russian, "maybe we would have warned it differently".
But Mr Putin has firmly rejected any suggestion Turkey did not recognise the plane as Russian. He said it was easily identifiable and its co-ordinates had been passed on to Turkey's ally, the US.
President Putin's foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, said the Kremlin had received Mr Erdogan's request for a meeting but he would not say whether such a meeting was possible.
"We have seen that the Turkish side hasn't been ready to offer an elementary apology over the plane incident," he said.
Announcing the suspension of a visa-free travel regime with Turkey from 1 January, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he believed the Turkish leadership had "crossed the line of what is acceptable".
Russia on Thursday said it was drafting a wide-ranging list of economic sanctions against Turkey that would hit food imports and joint investment projects among other things.
Turkey and Russia have important economic links. Russia is Turkey's second-largest trading partner, while more than three million Russian tourists visited Turkey last year.
Jeff Farrar said he foresees every police vehicle carrying a drone in the years to come and for more computers to do jobs "that do not involve emotion".
Gwent has had £50m of funding cuts and still needs to make £9m of savings. It has also lost 300 officers since 2011.
But Mr Farrar said the force was recruiting again after a jobs freeze.
Last year, 120 police officers were taken on, along with cadets and volunteers. This year, 160 officers will be recruited and the force had been "inundated" with applications, he said.
But, with more money needed to be saved by 2020, Mr Farrar said police needed to work in different ways to ensure they were as efficient and effective as possible.
He said detective work was benefitting from computers. Surveillance work that involves physically following a suspect might take a week - but the same checks can now often be carried out online because people post so much on social media, he said.
"The reality is a lot of the job we do, if it doesn't contain emotion then we can probably do it by way of a computer.
"So a lot of the things that we may be able to do in the future though artificial intelligence might be things that ordinarily would have been done by people."
Mr Farrar pointed out the usefulness of drones in the case of the body of a woman murdered 20 years ago being found at Wentwood Reservoir, near Newport.
"We couldn't have done that by foot and conventional means," said Mr Farrar, speaking as Gwent Police celebrated its 50th anniversary.
"We put a drone up in the air, the drone was right above the scene and I had in my office perfect HD quality pictures of the scene. We could never have done that [without the drone].
"I actually think in years to come, and it's not that far off, we will have one of those drones in the back of every police vehicle so we will be able to deploy those all the time."
Earlier this year, Gwent became the second force in Wales after South Wales Police to gain permission from the Civil Aviation Authority to use the drones - or unmanned aircrafts - to help search for missing people, tackle anti-social behaviour and other operations.
In addition, police officers now have body cams to record incidents and hand-held devices which can quickly carry out checks on vehicles and criminal records.
Back at police headquarters in Cwmbran, Mr Farrar has an app he can use to look at any officer's pocket book in real time if he needs any information.
But, ultimately, he said computers would never fully replace the role of police officers.
"The public still like to see a police officer as it's reassuring."
University College London researchers said more creative ways of reaching them were needed, like using social media instead of sending letters.
Women who miss out tend to be younger from poorer families or non-native English speakers, the research found.
Cervical cancer screening has been falling in the UK since 2011.
The death of reality TV star Jade Goody from cervical cancer in 2009 is widely accepted to have contributed to a rise in women being screened - but this effect no longer appears to be working.
The percentage of eligible women screened has dropped from 75.7% to 72.7% from 2011 to 2016 in the UK.
The UCL survey suggests that many young women don't get round to cervical screening, even when they intend to go.
Some 4% of women surveyed, particularly older ones, had decided not to go for a smear test at all and around 6% of women said they were completely unaware of the test.
Lack of awareness was higher in women from lower income families and ethnic minority groups.
Women are also known to find the test embarrassing and often difficult to organise.
The findings are based on a survey of 3,100 women aged 24 to 64, published in the European Journal of Cancer, in which 800 said they were not up-to-date with cervical screening.
Dr Jo Waller, who led the study at UCL, said it was "worrying that so many women don't know about cervical screening".
In the UK, women aged 24-49 are invited for a smear every three years, while women 50-64 are invited every five years.
Dr Waller said it was time to find better ways of communicating with women about screening.
"The results around lack of awareness suggest that campaigns using TV, radio, social media or face-to-face visits may be better... than relying on letters in the post, which is the current method."
She said extra reminders and specific appointment slots for first time screenings could make a difference and "potentially save lives".
Around 3,200 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year in the UK and 900 women die from it.
Cervical screening is thought to prevent about 2,000 deaths each year.
Sarah Williams, health information manager at Cancer Research UK, said: "We may need to be more creative in our efforts to help specific groups of women, rather than resorting to conventional 'one-size-fits-all' awareness campaigns."
Jo's Trust - a cervical cancer charity - launched #SmearForSmear campaign earlier this year which was shared at least 14,000 times on social media.
At the TUC Congress, delegates backed a statement warning the Prime Minister not to weaken workers rights as part of his renegotiation of the UK's membership of the EU.
The TUC has traditionally been pro-EU.
But it has now reserved its position until there's more clarity on the outcome of the renegotiation.
Most Unions have supported EU membership due to the protections for workers that have flowed from EU legislation.
They also point to foreign investment, based on the UK's access to the European market, that has boosted the economy and created jobs.
But in union circles, views on Europe have shifted in recent years.
Many criticise the role EU institutions have played in the turmoil that has engulfed the Greek economy.
They have also questioned the EU's appetite for international free trade deals like TTIP (the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership), which they fear will help multinational companies but harm jobs and working conditions.
Now trade unions are warning that the government can not rely on their members to support a Yes vote in an EU referendum to stay in the union.
The General Secretary of the GMB Union Paul Kenny warned that he could not recommend a Yes vote if protections were watered down.
"If the Government drive us into a position where we have to say no, that is what we are going to have to do".
Steve Turner, the Assistant General Secretary of the Unite Union, said that the biggest threat to working people wasn't Europe but the politics of the Tory Government.
"We hope that Cameron's efforts to weaken workers' rights will fail" he said, "but if they do not, we are issuing a warning to the Prime Minister - you will lose our members' votes to stay in the EU by worsening workers' rights."
The Government has indicated four areas where it wants changes: sovereignty, fairness, competitiveness and immigration.
But in a letter to the TUC's General Secretary Frances O'Grady, seen by the BBC, the Europe Minister David Lidington, indicated that the government was looking at the Working Time Directive, which caps working hours, and judgements from the European Court of Justice.
"With regard to the working time directive, the government wants to ensure that it promotes long-term, sustainable growth and labour market flexibility," he said.
"Our priorities are to retain the individual's right to opt-out of the 48-hour limit in weekly working time and to address problems caused by European Court Judgments on on-call time, compensatory rest and holiday pay."
The Working Time Directive mandates a maximum working week of 48 hours.
The UK negotiated an opt-out. But that has to be reviewed every four to five years.
Unions believe the government may be seeking to make the opt-out permanent.
It may also want to limit the impact of judgements from the European Court of Justice.
The Temporary Agency Workers Directive may also be in the Government's sights.
It gives agency workers similar rights to other staff after 12 weeks on the job.
But the so-called 'Swedish derogation' allows employment agencies to pay agency workers less than permanent staff doing the same job.
Unions claim employers organisations have lobbied the Government to make the derogation permanent.
Trade unions will be a powerful voice in the referendum campaign as they are directly in touch with more than 6 million workers.
But unions are divided on whether to back a yes vote now, giving the Prime Minister free reign in his negotiations with other EU member states.
For now the TUC is reserving its position on the referendum. It says that it will take stock of its position once the full results of the renegotiation and timetable for the referendum are known.

"As stewards of this important habitat, we have a clear duty to treat its inhabitants with care and encourage other port users to do the same.
"The Dolphin Code will ensure everyone is made aware of best practices and keep the animals safe."
Derek Serpell-Morris, known as DJ Derek, went missing from his home in Bristol last July aged 73.
His remains were discovered in March after a high-profile search, Avon Coroner's Court heard.
Coroner Peter Harrowing recorded a narrative verdict, saying it was impossible to know when or where Mr Serpell-Morris died.
Avon and Somerset Police said it had found no evidence to suggest anyone had harmed Mr Serpell-Morris or that he had intended to take his own life.
His body was identified by DNA and pathologist Dr Russell Delaney was unable to say how he died due to the level of decomposition. He gave the cause of death as "unascertained".
He added that due to his age it was "entirely possible" that Mr Serpell-Morris died from natural causes.
Speaking after the inquest, Mr Serpell-Morris's niece, Jennifer Griffiths, said: "I am sure nothing untoward happened to him. Nobody would hurt him - he was loved by too many people."
Hundreds of people turned out to pay tribute to him at his funeral at Agnes Church in St Pauls, Bristol, in April. | Les Dennis and Star Wars actor Warwick Davis are to star in the hit stage show Spamalot, in London's West End.

Liverpool City Council has approved proposals by developers Place First to demolish and refurbish terraces in the Welsh Streets district.
Its original plans for the area were blocked when then Communities Secretary Eric Pickles overturned his planning inspector's backing for the scheme.
Starr's former home had been threatened but is now among those to be saved.
Some homes will be knocked together - including the house in Madryn Street where the drummer was born - with others to be demolished.
More on this story and others from Merseyside and Cheshire
The streets are known as Welsh Streets as they are named after the Welsh towns of the construction workers who built the terraces in the 19th Century.
Ringo Starr used to live at 9 Madryn Street - which is one of the 200 homes that would be refurbished.
The plan, which was approved by the city cabinet, sees developer Place First get a six-month exclusivity agreement to carry out surveys on the properties.
In December, the city council dropped its legal challenge over the demolition of nearly 300 homes saying it wanted to avoid "protracted" legal action. | Plans to develop the Liverpool street where Beatle Ringo Starr grew up have been approved by the city's cabinet. | 35,505,758 | 241 | 27 | false |
The images in red, yellow, black and white depict humans, animals and insects, as well as skyscapes and abstract scenes.
The paintings were found in 11 different sites - but the walls of one cave were covered with 1,550 scenes.
The area in which they were found was previously thought not to have been inhabited by ancient cultures.
The paintings suggest that at least three groups of hunter-gatherers dwelled in the San Carlos mountain range.
Experts have not yet been able to date the paintings, but hope to chemically analyse their paint to find out their approximate age.
"We have not found any ancient objects linked to the context, and because the paintings are on ravine walls and in the rainy season the sediments are washed away, all we have is gravel," said archaeologist Gustavo Ramirez, from the Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History (Inah).
In one of the caves, the experts found depictions of the atlatl, a pre-Hispanic hunting weapon that had not yet been seen in other paintings in the Tamaulipas state.
The paintings are being considered an important find because they document the presence of pre-Hispanic peoples in a region where "before it was said that nothing was there", Mr Ramirez said.
Another archaeologist involved in the Inah study, Martha Garcia Sanchez, said that very little is known about the cultures who dwelled in Tamaulipas.
"These groups escaped the Spanish rule for 200 years because they fled to the Sierra de San Carlos where they had water, plants and animals to feed themselves," she said.
The findings were presented during the second meeting of Historic Archaeology, in Mexico's National History Museum. | Archaeologists in Mexico have found 4,926 well-preserved cave paintings in the north-eastern region of Burgos. | 22,632,301 | 375 | 33 | false |
The property at Arnol was built in the 1880s on a site that had been occupied by people for more than 2,000 years.
Blackhouses were built in the area by generations of crofting families until 1900. The home that survives today was still inhabited up to 1966.
About every 10 years, the thatch on the blackhouse is completely re-thatched.
Earlier this year, the conservation unit at Historic Environment Scotland worked on a full removal and reinstating of the thatch.
The team, aided by volunteers, used traditional skills and materials, including driftwood from nearby beaches to replace any rotting timbers.
To allow the work to be done in wet weather, a large plastic covering was built over scaffolding to completely cover the blackhouse.

Brusthom Ziamani told a prison officer he had delivered Islamic leaflets with the Woolwich soldier killer Michael Adebolajo, the Old Bailey heard.
The 19-year-old also wanted to "harm" Prime Minister David Cameron if he had the chance, it is alleged.
Mr Ziamani, of Camberwell, London, denies preparing an act of terrorism.
Police arrested Mr Ziamani in east London in August last year. At the time he was carrying a rucksack containing a 12in knife, a hammer and an Islamic flag, the court has heard.
Paul Morris, a prison officer at HMP Wandsworth, told the court that during a "welfare" chat while Mr Ziamani was on remand, the teenager "said he knew Michael Adebolajo".
"He said he loved him and he said he used to hand out leaflets in Greenwich with him as well. He said he had never met [the other Woolwich killer] Michael Adebowale," he told the court.
He added: "What concerned me was that first of all I was not sure if he was making some of it up.
"When he said he didn't know Adebowale I felt he was telling the truth - he was not trying to tell me he knew all these people. So for me I was believing what he was saying."
He said he had spoken one-to-one with Mr Ziamani in his cell, before immediately going to make notes of what was said.
"He said that he had been arrested when he was on his way to an army barracks, he didn't say where.
"He said he was going to behead a British soldier and hold his head up in the air while a friend took a photo of him doing so."
Naeem Mian, defending Mr Ziamani, said there was no dispute that the teenager had said he was on his way to behead a soldier.
But he suggested that it was said to the prison officer just in the context of explaining what the allegations against him were, rather than as a confession.
Mr Morris replied: "That [a confession] is how I perceived it at the time. When I first asked him why he was here he could have said there and then."
The court previously heard that Mr Ziamani idolised Adebolajo, telling an ex-girlfriend that he was a "legend".
Counter-terror police had previously arrested Mr Ziamani in June last year over extremist posts he made online and had questioned him several times, the Old Bailey also heard.
In an exchange from one interview read to the jury, he was asked by officers to confirm what he had said in an earlier interview in which the tape recorder had broken.
"What would you do if you saw David Cameron and had an opportunity?" the officer asked.
"You said you would do him harm if he had no security around?"
Mr Ziamani replied: "Yes."
The interviews also discussed a letter written by Mr Ziamani addressed to his parents in which he talked about being martyred, the court heard.
Mr Ziamani is said to have converted to Islam in early 2014.
The jury heard he put posts on Facebook under the name Mujahid Karim, supporting Sharia law and stating he was "willing to die in the cause of Allah".

In the Daily Telegraph, Ruth Davidson said "we have to ask whether the target continues to be the right one".
"The time for easy slogans is over," she added.
Ms Davidson also called for students to be taken out of net migration figures, in contrast to Theresa May's insistence they should be included.
The government has promised a new set of migration rules after Brexit.
It has also promised to get net migration - the difference between the number of people coming to live in the UK and those leaving - to the tens of thousands.
The target has never come close to being met since it was first proposed in 2010 and the government has not set a date by which it should be achieved.
According to the latest figures, net migration to the UK was estimated to be 248,000 in 2016, a fall of 84,000 from 2015.
In her newspaper article, Ms Davidson said Brexit - which will mean the UK is no longer subject to EU free movement rules - would be a "big reset button" which should make it "much easier" to hit the target.
She added: "But we have to ask whether the target continues to be the right one?"
Citing low unemployment levels, she said "potential for growth is facing ever greater limitations".
Neither her party nor Labour had "sought to have a meaningful and sustained discussion with the public about the merits and drawbacks of immigration", she said.
"Let's treat the British public like the grownups they are and have the mature conversation we need."
As home secretary and now prime minister, Mrs May has consistently resisted calls to exempt international students from immigration numbers.
But Ms Davidson said most Britons did not think international students should be treated as migrants, adding: "So let's start there.
"If people don't think that students should be included in the net migration numbers, let's take them out."
Ms Davidson was boosted by the general election as the Tories won 13 seats in Scotland.
She has previously spoken of the need to welcome migrants and for her party to be "internationalist in outlook".
She was a leading campaigner for a Remain vote in last year's EU referendum.
Labour's shadow Scotland Office minister Paul Sweeney said: "The Tories are in open warfare and these comments from Ruth Davidson show just deep the splits in the party run." | The leader of the Scottish Conservatives has questioned the government's goal of reducing net migration below 100,000. | 40,865,701 | 514 | 24 | false |
The body of 60-year-old Elizabeth Mackay, or Muir, was discovered at a house in the city's Hilton area on Thursday by two of her friends.
Ms Mackay, who was originally from Nairn and had been living in Inverness for eight years, had a number of injuries.
Police said she had been described as "a loner" and a "private person".
Det Ch Insp Keith Hardie, who has arrived in Inverness with a team of detectives from Edinburgh, said murder was a "rare crime" in the Highland capital.
He told BBC Scotland: "It is quite apparent from a number of injuries that this has been a fairly sustained and brutal attack in the safety of her home."
Ms Mackay was last seen on Tuesday afternoon and her body was discovered at about 16:45 on Thursday.
Det Ch Insp Hardie appealed for other sightings of her and also for help from the public in "building a picture" of her life.
He said: "We know she was a bit of a loner, kept herself to herself. As far as we are aware she never had any enemies in the community or elsewhere.
"She has been described by family and friends as a gentle person who wouldn't hurt a fly, making this horrible crime even harder to comprehend."
Police have appealed to the community in Hilton for help with their investigation into her death.
Det Ch Insp Hardie said the local community would have been "shaken" by the murder.
But he added that it was "best placed" to have noticed anything suspicious or out of the ordinary at the time.
The senior detective said: "Neighbours and the wider community of Hilton will be understandably shaken and upset by this tragic event and officers will continue to carry out patrols.
"Local communities are best placed to pick up on things that are out of place or events out of the ordinary, so we would appeal to anyone who heard or saw anything unusual or suspicious, even if its appears insignificant."
The house in Kintail Court is the same terraced bungalow where the body of hairdresser Ilene O'Connor, 39, was found in 2006.
Brian Grant, 50, was jailed in 2007 for beating Ms O'Connor to death and burying her body in the garden.
Researchers at IBM have demonstrated the most advanced integrated circuit made of wafer-scale graphene - often touted as a "wonder material" that could revolutionise electronics.
Graphene circuits could allow mobile devices to transmit data loads in a much speedier manner.
Details have been published in the journal Nature Communications.
Produced for the first time in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester, graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms packed in a honeycomb structure.
The material is the subject of global research efforts aimed at harnessing the extraordinary electrical, optical, mechanical and thermal properties that potentially make it a cheaper and more energy efficient choice than silicon in electronics.
"This is the first time that someone has shown graphene devices and circuits to perform modern wireless communication functions comparable to silicon technology," said Supratik Guha, director of physical sciences at IBM Research.
The growth of big data applications has placed increased importance on the development of improved mobile devices that can transmit and receive increasingly large amounts of information more efficiently. IBM says graphene is particularly suited for wireless communications.
True integrated circuits based on graphene have been difficult to build because the material's nano-scale dimensions have meant that it could be easily damaged during fabrication.
In 2011, IBM built a proof-of-concept - an analogue graphene circuit with a broadband frequency mixer.
But the performance of the graphene transistor was relatively poor owing to a lack of refinement in the manufacturing process. Since then, the researchers have been working to improve the prototypes.
Scientists have now developed a manufacturing method that fully preserves the transistor quality. Using this approach, they were able to demonstrate the most sophisticated graphene-based integrated circuit to date.
To showcase its true functionality, the researchers were able to use it to transmit a text message displaying the letters "I-B-M".
The circuit's performance was 10,000 times better than previously reported efforts for graphene integrated circuits.
The researchers describe it as a step towards true graphene technology.

The Millers' Jon Taylor shot wide from a tight angle before Fletcher's low drive gave the visitors the lead.
Fletcher powerfully headed Jack Hunt's right-wing cross into the top corner to put Wednesday in control at the break.
Richard Wood went close for the hosts, but already-relegated Rotherham have now lost nine games in a row.
Wednesday meanwhile, are back up to sixth after in-form Fulham were beaten at Derby.
It could have been a different story had Rotherham not been so wasteful in front of goal as Wood and Carlton Morris both spurned decent openings in addition to Taylor's early opportunity.
Fletcher, however, was clinical with the Owls' first real sight of goal as he kept his composure to beat Lewis Price after collecting a Ross Wallace pass and score his first in 15 games.
The former Scotland international was equally lethal just before the break, meaning that three of his nine goals this season have come against the Millers.
It might have been a hat-trick for the ex-Sunderland and Burnley man early in the second half, but this time he was denied by Wood's block.
Rotherham interim manager Paul Warne will hope this latest defeat will not affect his chances of getting the job on a permanent basis, with a new full-time boss expected to be confirmed on Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal: "I think last season this is a game we might not have won, but we have learnt.
"We only depend on us. We must win our games. We won today and we are sixth with six games to go. Our fans will be very important.
"It was not fantastic, but two derbies, back-to-back, away from home, and it is four points to us."
Rotherham interim manager Paul Warne: "I have been told there is a board meeting and I am told they are going to come to a conclusion over the direction of the club, and I would presume that will include the manager of the club.
"If the chairman rings me up in the morning and asks me to be manager I will be very proud to do it. I can't promise I will do a good job but I will try.
"In the first half, we were pretty good, we were brighter than them. Their first goal was offside, it is a bit of a game changer."

Stephen Harper said it was unclear which ship had been found, but photo evidence confirmed it was one of them.
Sir John Franklin led the two ships and 129 men in 1845 to chart the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic.
The expedition's disappearance shortly after became one of the great mysteries of the age of Victorian exploration.
The Canadian government began searching for Franklin's ships in 2008 as part of a strategy to assert Canada's sovereignty over the Northwest Passage, which has recently become accessible to shipping because of melting Arctic ice.
Expedition sonar images from the waters of Victoria Strait, just off King William Island, clearly show the wreckage of a ship on the ocean floor.
"I am delighted to announce that this year's Victoria Strait expedition has solved one of Canada's greatest mysteries, with the discovery of one of the two ships belonging to the Franklin Expedition," Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement.
"Finding the first vessel will no doubt provide the momentum - or wind in our sails - necessary to locate its sister ship and find out even more about what happened to the Franklin Expedition's crew."
The find has been described as "the biggest archaeological discovery the world has seen since the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb almost 100 years ago" by a British archaeologist, William Battersby, who has written extensively about the Lincolnshire explorer's expedition.
"From the images it is clear that a huge amount of evidence will be preserved from the expedition, possibly even including the remains of the men and maybe, just possibly, some of their photographs," he said.
The loss of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, which was built in Topsham, Devon, prompted one of largest searches in history, running from 1848 to 1859.
The mystery has gripped people for generations, in part because no one knows for sure exactly what happened to the crew.
Experts believe the ships were lost when they became locked in the ice near King William Island and that the crews abandoned them in a hopeless bid to reach safety.
Reports at the time from local Inuits say the men, desperate for food, resorted to cannibalism before they died.
Sir John Franklin's wife spearheaded an attempt to find him, launching five ships in search of her husband and even leaving cans of food on the ice in the desperate hope he would find them.
In total more than 50 expeditions joined the search.
Three bodies discovered over a century later in the 1980s were found to have a high lead content and to this day, many people believe the 129 crew members were poisoned by leaking lead in their poorly soldered tin cans.
More recent research suggests the canned food supplied to Franklin was not acidic enough for that to happen and the lead was more likely to have come from the internal pipe system on the ships.
The search resulted in the discovery of the Northwest Passage, which runs from the Atlantic to the Pacific through the Arctic archipelago.
The discovery of Franklin's vessels is considered one of the most sought-after prizes in marine archaeology.
A team of Canadian divers and archaeologists has been trying to find the ships since 2008.
A team says they have found a churned up layer of soil at an Alpine pass near the French-Italian border that dates to the time of Hannibal's invasion.
In Archaeometry journal, they say the disturbed sediment was rich in microbes that are common in horse manure.
Hannibal's third century BC campaign is seen as one of the greatest military endeavours in antiquity.
He was commander-in-chief of the Carthaginian army during its second war with Rome (218-201 BC). Carthage was located in present-day Tunisia and was Rome's main military rival at the time.
In an audacious manoeuvre, Hannibal led about 30,000 troops, 15,000 horses and 37 elephants across the Alps to challenge Roman power on home soil.
It was very nearly a masterstroke: in a series of battles, the Carthaginians brought the Roman military to its knees. But Hannibal was ultimately defeated at the battle of Zama in 202 BC.
Historians, statesmen and academics have long argued about the route Hannibal took across the Alps. Firm archaeological evidence has been difficult to find.
But an international team has now argued that the military commander led his troops across the Col de Traversette mountain pass at an altitude of 3,000m.
The results may not yet be a smoking gun, but the researchers are hopeful of finding other evidence from the deposit, such as tapeworm eggs from horses - or even elephants.
They found a churned-up mass of sediment in a 1m-thick mire at Col de Traversette that could be directly dated to the time of the invasion.
Dr Chris Allen, from Queen's University Belfast, said the layer had been produced by "the constant movement of thousands of animals and humans".
"Over 70% of the microbes in horse manure are from a group known as the Clostridia, that are very stable in soil - surviving for thousands of years," he said.
"We found scientifically significant evidence of these same bugs in a genetic microbial signature precisely dating to the time of the Punic invasion."
This crossing point was first proposed over a half century ago by the British biologist Sir Gavin de Beer, but it has not been widely accepted by the academic community.
City's victory took them third in the Premier League with a superior goal difference over their title rivals.
Toure's first professional hat-trick took his season's tally to 20 goals.

"He's a very important player and scoring 20 goals for a midfielder is not easy," said Pellegrini.
"At the beginning of the season, Toure received some criticism for not defending well, but it's easy to tell him to stay back and not give him freedom."
Pellegrini's side moved above Arsenal, who were hammered 6-0 at league leaders Chelsea, with second-placed Liverpool winning 6-3 at Cardiff.
City are six points off the top but have played two games less than Liverpool and Arsenal and three matches fewer than Jose Mourinho's side.
"I don't think it's just between Chelsea and Man City as favourites," added the Chilean.
I'm not happy with our performance after the second goal
"We must continue considering what Liverpool are doing because they are playing well and scoring goals.
"Arsenal had a bad game but are seven points behind Chelsea with one game in hand so the four teams have the same chance to win the title."
City, who have not conceded a league goal in their last four matches, have 10 league games left beginning with the Manchester derby on Tuesday and a trip to the Gunners next Saturday.
"It was a complete performance because we kept a clean sheet again, it's important in the last part of the season," said Pellegrini. "We must be very balanced, not only scoring but not conceding easy goals."
With top goalscorer Sergio Aguero missing, Alvaro Negredo started up front for City in place of the sick Edin Dzeko, although the Bosnian could return for Tuesday's trip to Old Trafford.
Negredo won the first of two City penalties, which Toure converted, after Fernando Amorebieta clipped the City forward.

Fulham boss Felix Magath was unhappy with that decision, but there were no complaints about the second spot-kick as Amorebieta scythed down David Silva to receive a red card.
Toure, 30, grabbed his third with a stunning strike before late goals by Fernandinho and Martin Demichelis sealed the convincing victory.
Magath, whose side remain bottom of the table and are four points from safety with seven games left, said the second penalty after 54 minutes led to his side giving up.
"I'm not happy with our performance after the second goal," said the German coach.
"Sure it was a bad moment for us, but that's no reason to stop playing, we have to play 90 minutes with 10 or 11 players."
A statement issued by the actor vehemently denied newspaper allegations that the couple carried out a pre-birth sex determination test.
Gender tests before birth are illegal in India where baby boys are sometimes preferred over baby girls.
The actor said that the speculation was "grossly insensitive".
AbRam Khan was born several months premature using a surrogate mother.
"Just to put the record straight there was no sex determination for our child," Shah Rukh Khan's statement said.
"The baby was born much before the speculation of 'sex determination' and other 'issues' pertaining to the same were being raised in the media.
"Suffice to say his coming home puts to rest completely false and at times insensitive claims of sex determination and alleged illegalities."
The actor also apologised in the statement to "doctors and hospitals who had to face unwanted scrutiny and questioning by some parties". He also appealed for both mother and child to be granted some privacy.
Last month Maharashtra state health minister Suresh Shetty instructed officials to conduct an inquiry into the pregnancy after an Indian medical association called for an investigation into the sex determination allegations.
Correspondents say that India's ban on sex tests is part of attempts to reduce female foeticide which distorts the country's gender balance because of the general cultural preference for boys.
Shah Rukh Khan, one of Bollywood's best known actors, co-hosted India's film awards on Sunday.
He and his wife Gauri already have two teenaged children, a boy and a girl.
Mr Hunt told the BBC that while he had "had differences" with party leader Jeremy Corbyn in the past "that wasn't the spur" for stepping down.
"The spur was the incredible opportunity of the job," he said.
Labour leader Mr Corbyn said he wished him well and was confident Labour would hold the Stoke-on-Trent Central seat.
Asked if he was secretly pleased that an MP who has been critical of his leadership was going, Mr Corbyn said: "No, I don't want anyone to resign, I don't want to lose MPs but he has taken this position as director of the V&A, good luck to him."
He said he was confident of winning the by-election: "It's been a Labour seat for a long time, we have a strong message to put out .. I'm looking forward to the campaign."
Mr Hunt is the second Labour MP in a matter of weeks to quit Parliament for a job outside politics. Jamie Reed announced last month he was standing down as MP for Copeland to take up a post at the Sellafield nuclear plant.
Mr Hunt's departure sets up another potentially awkward by-election for Mr Corbyn, in a traditionally safe Labour seat where UKIP made a strong showing in the last general election. The seat is set to be abolished under new boundary proposals.
Labour grandee Lord Mandelson said he believed Mr Hunt quit politics because he was "unhappy", like "many other MPs" over Labour's electoral chances.
"The prospects of us winning a national general election will remain distant the longer Jeremy Corbyn and his ramshackle outfit remain in charge of the party's fortunes," he told the BBC's Week in Westminster.
In a letter to local party members explaining his decision, Mr Hunt said: "I am sorry to put you, the party and the people of Stoke-on-Trent, through a by-election. I have no desire to rock the boat now and anyone who interprets my decision to leave in that way is just plain wrong."
The former TV historian was elected to represent Stoke-on-Trent in 2010 and was re-elected in 2015 with a majority of 5,179. UKIP came second.
He refused to serve in the shadow cabinet following Mr Corbyn's leadership victory in September 2015. He also argued that the Labour leader should have done more to persuade its voters to back the Remain campaign during last year's EU referendum.
Analysis
By Ben Wright, BBC political correspondent
Tristram Hunt's resignation follows that of Jamie Reed last month - another Labour MP who had been critical of the party's shift to the left - and it leaves Mr Corbyn facing another difficult by-election that UKIP will be fighting to win.
I don't think Jeremy Corbyn will mind in the slightest that Tristram Hunt has gone. But Mr Corbyn's critics in Parliament face a dilemma: to follow Tristram Hunt out of politics or to stay and fight for a party they believe is in deep trouble.

Labour deputy leader Tom Watson said he was "disappointed to see a talented MP like Tristram step down".
Conservative former chancellor George Osborne commented: "@TristramHuntMP is a brilliant, bold choice by @V_and_A. I suspect it'll be a while before we see another Labour MP called Tristram."
Liberal Democrat president Baroness Brinton said Mr Hunt's resignation was "a sign of how Labour are ripping themselves apart". "What is worrying is when first Jamie Reed and now Tristram Hunt decide they can achieve more positive change outside, rather than inside Parliament," she said.
Stoke-on-Trent Central
Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage tweeted: "Tristram Hunt's resignation from Stoke will be followed by many others. Labour is doomed."
The V&A said Mr Hunt would bring "widespread expertise" to the museum.
Chairman Nicholas Coleridge said: "He has a highly compelling mixture of experience across public life, the arts, history, education and academia, and knows our collections well from his writing and broadcasting. "
"In addition, he is an informed and articulate leader and communicator on numerous facets of culture, both historic and contemporary."
Mr Hunt, whose V&A appointment was signed off by Prime Minister Theresa May and Culture Secretary Karen Bradley, succeeds Martin Roth, who saw attendances triple during his five-year period in charge. One of Mr Hunt's first tasks will be overseeing the development of V&A outposts in places such as Dundee.
Mr Roth earned a salary of £145,000-£150,000 as part of a total package worth £225,000-£230,000 in 2015/16 - well above Mr Hunt's current salary of £74,962 as an MP.
Jan Jedrzejewski, 41, from Newport, died in hospital after being found on Keene Street, Lliswerry, on Thursday.
Richard Wallis, 43, Shaquile Crosdale, 18, Callum Banton, 18, and the youth who cannot be named, all from Newport, appeared at an administrative hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Wednesday.
The defendants have not yet entered a plea and were remanded in custody.
Judge Eleri Rees set a preliminary trial date for 10 July.
He was charged with breaching the FA's football agent rules over the sale of Ross McCormack to Fulham in 2014.
In addition, the club have also been fined £250,000.
Cellino, whose ban will start on 1 February 2017, has already indicated to the FA that he intends to appeal against the ruling.
The FA said in a statement: "Mr Cellino has been suspended for 18 months from being a director or shadow director of Leeds United or any other football club or company whose activities include ownership of a football club.
"By 30 April 2017, he is to attend and complete an FA education programme covering the duties and responsibilities of an owner and director of an English football club."
The Daily Mail reported on Wednesday that Cellino was set to be banned and fined, prompting him to release a statement on the club's website that he was "surprised to hear about the FA's intentions" and that he was only guilty of "protecting Leeds United".
This is the third time the 60-year-old former Cagliari owner has been given a ban by the FA since taking over the Elland Road club in April 2014.
If the decision is upheld, his suspension means he will not be able to return to his position at Leeds until 1 September 2018.
Meanwhile, agent Derek Day has been fined £75,000 for his role in the transfer of McCormack and banned for 18 months.
Day will serve an immediate seven-month ban, with the remaining 11 months suspended for two years.
Jim Robertson, from Glasgow, who lost his wife to sepsis last year, is petitioning the Scottish Parliament to back a national awareness campaign.
Health boards are actively working on reducing sepsis, but some are wary of such an initiative.
One said it could lead to "unnecessary" attendance at GP surgeries.
Sepsis kills about 44,000 people every year in the UK - more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer combined.
It is caused when the body's immune system overreacts to infection.
Mr Robertson's wife Liz died in hospital from sepsis in February last year at the age of 61.
He said: "It still haunts me. In the last week, I would say, of Liz's life she was delirious, she was nauseous, she was constantly vomiting, she didn't know where she lived."
Sepsis is triggered by infections, but is actually a problem with our own immune system going into overdrive.
It starts with an infection that can come from anywhere - even a contaminated cut or insect bite.
Normally, your immune system kicks in to fight the infection and stop it spreading.
But if the infection manages to spread quickly round the body, then the immune system will launch a massive immune response to fight it.
This can also be a problem as the immune response can have catastrophic effects on the body, leading to septic shock, organ failure and even death.
Mr Robertson believes she could still be alive if she had been diagnosed sooner.
He said the first time he heard the word sepsis was after his wife's post mortem.
"I didn't really know anything about it at all, apart from that it was blood poisoning and I discovered there was a very, very low awareness of sepsis and the size of sepsis in Scotland - in fact in the whole of the UK."
Mr Robertson said he was "astonished" at some of the responses from NHS boards to his petition lodged with the Scottish Parliament.
He added: "Some, in fact, have come back with a response that if we make people aware of the early signs of sepsis, then it might cause a greater workload for our GPs, so they are not that keen, which I find very surprising and disappointing."
In its written submission, NHS Dumfries and Galloway said a public campaign specifically about sepsis "may actually cause alarm and increase unnecessary attendance at GP practices or A&E departments".
NHS Forth Valley's submission read: "It is necessary to consider the unintended consequences of inappropriately increasing public awareness."
Other boards including Tayside, Grampian and Greater Glasgow and Clyde all said they would welcome a national public awareness campaign - something experts believe would save lives.
Prof Kevin Rooney, a consultant in intensive care medicine at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, said: "I would definitely support an awareness campaign with the public.
"We have been working with health care professionals to date, but in the end we need you to help us.
"For every hour's delay in antibiotics, your mortality from sepsis increases by almost 8%, so if we can get people in the community to the hospitals quicker, that will surely make a difference."
The Scottish government said it would support any campaign to raise awareness of sepsis.
A spokesman added: "Our Scottish Patient Safety Programme is a unique national programme recognised as setting the benchmark for systemic approaches to health care improvement, including the treatment of sepsis.
"We have a long-standing commitment to raising awareness of sepsis, involving working closely with NHS Scotland and the Fiona Elizabeth Agnew Trust, supporting the Sock it to Sepsis campaign and promoting and participating in World Sepsis Day.
"We recognise that focusing on early identification of sepsis is critical - and treatment within one hour of recognition has led to mortality rates among those identified at this stage falling by 21% since 2012."
Rodney was stuck for about an hour and a half in a field off La Rue du Sud in Jersey.
The 18-year-old was comforted by his owner Loraine Rolland as Jersey Fire and Rescue crews pulled him free from the ditch.
Thomas Rolland said after the event: "Rodney seems to be fine, apart from being a plonker."
A vet from New Era was called to attend to help give advice and deliver any treatment necessary.
Station Commander Marc Le Cornu said: "Rodney seems fine apart from an initially sore leg and the crews and owners were delighted to see him back on his feet in his field.
"These types of rescues are always challenging and really make us think outside the box on how best to achieve a successful rescue."
It is okay to feel this way from time to time, as it is our body's natural response to a situation we are not comfortable with.
However, some people feel it more often than others and it can have a difficult impact on their lives.
Celebrities like Zayn Malik and Selena Gomez have spoken about how they have struggled with anxiety.
At the end of the summer, Selena Gomez announced she would be taking a break from music to deal with problems with anxiety and depression, as they can sometimes come together.
She recently made a speech at the American Music Awards where she said she "had to stop" because of the effect it had on her.
The children's charity Childline said they have noticed an increase in the number of children and young people who they are helping for anxiety, from 8,642 in 2014/15 to 11,706 in 2015/16. This is a 35% increase.
Newsround spoke to an expert on mental health from the charity Mind, Stephen Buckley, to find out more about anxiety, what can cause it and what you can do if you're worried that it's something that's affecting you.
Feeling anxious is a feeling of nervousness, fright or worry.
We all feel like that a bit from time to time and that's completely natural. It's our body's way of preparing us for a situation that we don't really like!
"It's common to feel tense, nervous and perhaps fearful at the thought of a stressful event or decision you're facing," says Stephen.
"For example, starting or moving school, moving home or sitting a test or exam are all things that could make someone worried and stressed."
But if you're finding it difficult to deal with or you're feeling anxious and uncomfortable a lot of the time, that's when it may be a problem.
"If your feelings of anxiety are very strong or last for a long time, it can be overwhelming," Stephen explains.
Feeling anxious can be triggered by many different things.
It depends what sort of things make you feel nervous, uneasy or frightened, as nobody is the same.
Daily events like visiting the dentist or taking a test at school might make you feel a bit anxious or stressed. You might also feel worried about something you've seen in the news.
You may find you get scared of something, like small spaces, which other people are not scared of.
In some cases, it might be difficult to work out why you are feeling anxious because it is not something that's obvious straight away, but you know that you just don't feel completely comfortable.
For example, it could be because of something that happened a long time ago to which you may be having a delayed reaction.
The children's charity Childline says: "We have found that children and young people are being struck down with anxiety with causes ranging from personal and family issues, to concerns about world affairs, such as the EU Referendum, the US Election and troubles in the Middle East."
Feeling a little bit anxious or stressed is completely normal, so long as you feel better soon.
If you find you are remaining nervous, worried or scared for a long time - or very regularly - then it could be an issue.
Anxiety can also be a problem if you find yourself feeling worried or nervous about something that hasn't actually happened yet or which might have finished a while ago.
Sometimes, people can experience anxiety and depression together. Selena Gomez spoke about how these two conditions affected her, which is why she took time away from work to get better.
Stephen explains: "Often feeling anxious about certain situations can lead to you feeling down. Some people blame themselves for their feelings and end up getting quite upset and down, which can lead to depression."
Feeling a bit stressed about something is a normal part of everyday life, but different people are able to cope with different amounts of it.
"When it gets too much and these feelings become unmanageable, it can negatively affect our physical and mental health," says Stephen.
"Stress itself is not a mental health problem, but when it last a long time and you become unable to deal with the feeling, it can lead to mental health problems, like depression or anxiety."
Feeling anxious can affect the way you feel and the way your body behaves, but everyone will react differently.
In terms of affecting your emotions, anxiety can make little things feel like really big problems and stop you feeling like your normal self.
It may stop you from being able to concentrate at school or mean you struggle to get to sleep at night.
If the thing that bothers you doesn't worry other people, it might make you feel a bit isolated, as everyone else seems to be okay.
You may also try to avoid certain situations or people if you're worried about how they might make you feel, which could lead to you cutting yourself off from things that otherwise would make you happy.
Feeling anxious can make the body behave differently too. It can give you butterflies in your stomach, your heart rate might go up or your hands might get clammy. It can cause pain like headaches too.
In cases of more extreme anxiety, the body might react by having what is called a panic attack.
This is a more severe, physical reaction. When someone has a panic attack, their breathing may get quicker or more difficult, and they might start to sweat more or feel dizzy. They might also become shaky.
Many people experience feeling anxious, scared, nervous or stressed from time to time.
But if it's something that is stopping you from living your life happily then the most important thing is that you go to speak to an adult you trust so that they can help you.
If you think that anything described in this guide might be affecting you, follow these tips below.
Many people struggle with anxiety, so it is not something you should beat yourself up about.
If you are worried about feeling anxious fairly regularly or your feelings of anxiety tend to last quite a long time, you should always speak to someone.
They can talk through with you what might be making you feel that way so you can try to work out where the problem might be.
They may take you to speak to a doctor or therapist, whose job it is to help with problems like this.
If you find yourself feeling anxious, breathing exercises may help you to calm down and feel more relaxed. Breathe in deeply for three seconds, and out for three seconds, and repeat this for a few minutes. Counting slowly to 10 might also help.
When you're feeling anxious, it may help to go outside and get some fresh air, go for a walk, watch a film you really like or read a book you enjoy, to help clear your head. Exercise can be really good for this, so go and kick a football about!
Tidying your room might also help things to feel less cluttered and help you to feel more in control.
If you are worried about feeling anxious but you are not sure who to speak to, call Childline on 0800 1111 or visit

Stephen says: "It might seem overwhelming at times but it is really important to tell someone you trust how you are feeling. This could be a parent, friend, teacher or school nurse. There is no right or wrong person to open up to, but it should be someone you feel comfortable talking to."
"If talking to someone you know feels more daunting, then there are phone lines and online forums which can also offer support."
"Remember no matter how small your problems might feel there is someone who cares and will want to help."

Day turned to night in some parts as thunder, lightning flashes and heavy rain struck on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.
There were reports that "gobstopper-sized" hailstones dented cars at Eastriggs, near Annan.
And a church tower in Denny was damaged after it was struck by lightning.
Firefighters were called to Denny Old Parish Church at 09:52 but there was no sign of any fire.
A Church of Scotland spokesman said it did not cause major damage and steeplejacks would carry out temporary repairs.
In the Highlands, swimming pools complex Inverness Leisure and the Highland Folk Museum in Newtownmore were closed as a result of lightning and heavy rain.
Meanwhile in the Borders a lightning strike appears to have knocked out phones in the Eyemouth area.
Police and the fire service were in the Hinkar Way and Haymons Cove area amid concerns that it could have affected the 999 service.
Earlier a yellow warning of heavy rain in Scotland was issued by the Met Office.
Forecasters warned people to be aware of the risk of localised flash flooding.
The Met Office said: "Frequent lightning, large hail and strong winds could be additional hazards.
"All of this could lead to some flooding of homes, businesses and transport networks. Disruption to power is also possible."
Residents in the Scottish Border were warned of possible severe weather until 15:00.
Up to 50mm of rain was expected in the region before the storm moves north east, according to the local authority.
A spokesman for Scottish Borders Council said extremely heavy, isolated downpours of rain were forecast, as well as the potential for hail, significant lightning and strong gusts of wind.
Images from the University of Dundee's satellite receiving station dramatically illustrated the changing nature of the British summer.
One taken at 12:55 on Tuesday shows only a light cloud covering in Scotland, where temperatures soared to 29C.
In a second picture taken almost 24 hours later, much of the country is covered in the thick cloud as it endured thunder, lightning and heavy rain.

While Donald Trump has spoken about building a wall between the US and Mexico to keep immigrants out, it is Americans who may be trying to flee.
During this election's vicious campaign cycle, the idea of Americans heading to Canada became a political statement.
Celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Bryan Cranston, and Lena Dunham have threatened to move north of the border to escape a Trump presidency. When that possibility edged closer to a reality late Tuesday night, the Canadian government's Citizenship and Immigration website crashed due to what officials called "a significant increase in the volume of traffic."
Statistics provided by the government indicated over 200,000 people were trying to access the site at 11 pm when it crashed. American IP addresses accounted for some 50% of the traffic, instead of the usual 9% to 10%.
Still, few of these contemplating fleeing have actually expanded on why they want to come to the country besides the fact Mr Trump will not be head of state and that they see the country as a friendly, progressive refuge.
And if shell-shocked Americans are seeking company to pair with their misery, Canada could be a haven.
Mr Trump's election victory has left many Canadians incredulous.
"He has no political experience, he's a business man, a reality-TV star and you blink and he's the American president?" said a shocked Robert McNair, from Cambridge, Ontario about 150 km (93 miles) from Buffalo, New York.
Paul Deskin, an American tourist from Connecticut, couldn't agree more.
"I just feel like my heart's been ripped out, the country I love votes for someone with no integrity," he said. "I hope I'm wrong, and I will fight to make our country a better country, and I truly hope that Trump finds the right way to lead."
Both men were visiting Niagara Falls, Ontario, a border city and tourist hub that shares both the majestic falls and a border with New York State.
Here, and elsewhere in Canada, these cross-cultural exchanges are nothing rare.
Every day, more than 300,000 people travel across the 8, 891 km (5,525 miles) border, the longest shared border in the world.
Many people have family in both countries and, before the 9/11 terror attacks led to more security measures, Canadians and Americans along the border often crossed it casually with little or no formal ID.
Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati says the community would be happy to welcome fleeing Americans on a more permanent basis.
"We'd roll out the red carpet. But don't believe there's going to be a mass exodus," he said. "The American spirit is strong and those were emotional statements."
The mayor thinks that once everything has settled down in the US, things will not have changed as much as people think they will.
"The way I see it, things are never as bad as they seem and they are never as good as they seem," he said.
Priyanka Varkay, who was visiting from Halifax, Nova Scotia, said an influx of southern neighbours this could be positive for Canada but worries it would strain relations Americans moved in large numbers.
"Trudeau seems to be very diplomatic, he'll find a way around it," she said.
Others are not so sure diplomacy is the best way to deal with Mr Trump.
"If he doesn't follow the rules, we'll have to stand up for ourselves," said Toronto resident Irene Landry.
She has American neighbours who moved during the George W Bush administration. In 2006, immigration from the US reached a 30-year high, according to government statistics.
"They certainly won't go back and live under Donald Trump," she said.
However the African Union force insists it still has control of the town.
The governor of Somalia's Lower Shabelle region Ibrahim Adam told the AFP news agency that al-Shabab secured took the town without fighting.
Earlier reports had said the AU forces had left the town but they tweeted later that they "re-adjust their positions" from time to time.
"Amisom [African Union] forces moved out at midday and the local administration and all other Somali security forces left a few minutes later - and then heavily armed al-Shabab militants entered the town," local resident Ibrahim Mumin told AFP.
"They have been addressing residents at the district headquarters," he added.
Another resident, Mohamed Sabriye, told AP news agency that al-Shabab fighters had hoisted their flag over the city's police station and administrative headquarters.
However, Amisom tweeted that "contrary to propaganda by enemies of Somalia, AMISOM is still in control of Marka".
Amisom later tweeted "Our troops will from time to time re-adjust their positions for tactical purposes to guarantee defeat of terrorists. #Somalia."
It comes three weeks after al-Shabab overran an African Union military base outside the southern Somali town of el-Ade, saying they had killed about 100 Kenyans soldiers.
Kenya has not said how many of its troops died.
Al-Shabab was ousted from the capital, Mogadishu, in August 2011, but still has a presence in large areas of southern Somalia and often stages attacks across the country.
It's clear that the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) is having problems securing the region.
Sources within the mission say this is a tactical move. The problem, however, is that as soon as these troops leave, al-Shabab militants are swiftly replacing them.
It's no doubt a major setback for the regional forces, seeing as they would have to fight their battles afresh to regain these regions.
In January, Kenyan troops withdrew from other parts of southern Somalia after they suffered heavy losses in an an attack on their base in el-Ade.
As al-Shabab fills the void, it will be looking to win the support of the communities - something the regional coalition has failed to do.
And that would be disastrous overall for the regional efforts to bring peace to Somalia. The nations contributing to Amisom are expected to meet in Djibouti later this month to review their campaign.
According to reports, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga has rejected his predecessor Yohei Kono's statement made in 1993, admitting that the Japanese military had coerced women into being sex slaves.
A commentary in the People's Liberation Army Daily observes that this is the first time the Japanese government has openly rejected Mr Kono's admission.
Criticising right-wing forces in Japan, the article says the "denial" and "distortion" of history have strongly damaged the reputation of the country.
Lashing out at Japan, a front-page commentary in the overseas edition of the People's Daily says that "denial of history will never earn respect".
"The administration of PM Shinzo Abe is scheming to escape responsibilities and cover up their wrongdoing, but no matter what means they resort to, they are not able to deceive anyone," writes the paper.
"Japan has said it wants to be a peaceful nation and calls for meetings with the top leaders of neighbouring countries to develop friendly ties, but it keeps denying its sins of militarism, causing its neighbours and the international community to be worried," says the article.
A report in the Guangming Daily accuses Japan of duplicity.
"The Abe regime is trying to be friendly with Beijing, Seoul and Pyongyang and is temporarily hiding its arrogance in order to achieve a diplomatic breakthrough," says the daily, "However, Mr Suga's comments remind us once again that the conservative right-wing forces in Japan have never stopped distorting history by using even more despicable and sinister means."
Meanwhile, papers are stepping up calls for protests in Hong Kong to end, after talks between the authorities and student leaders ended in deadlock.
Describing the protesters as "political fanatics" who insist "on demands that have no legal standing", the China Daily points out that electoral reform "must always be done within the legal framework… in accordance with the Basic Law".
"The delusion of eventually turning the city into an independent political entity… is a road leading to a dead end," the paper argues.
"It is time for student leaders and other organizers of the 'Occupy' campaign to call off their protests and get back on the right track. After all, standing on a treacherous fault line, they stand no chance of achieving what they want," China Daily concludes.
Echoing similar views, an article in the Haiwai Net also urges the protesters "not to miss the opportunity" to end their campaign.
The article points out that the Hong Kong government has made it clear it will "feedback the opinion of the people to Beijing".
"The government's statement has provided student leaders with an opportunity to step down (to prevent embarrassment). What the government really meant is: 'We are unable to accede to your illegal request; we will convey your message and you should disperse,'" explains the article.
It further warns that the authorities have obtained "evidence of the protesters' illegal actions" and that no-one will be able to rescue them "from the grip of the law".
A strongly worded commentary by the Xinhua news agency lambasts some Hong Kong celebrities for supporting the protest.
"Chapman To and the like, stop thinking that you could still eat from us while breaking our pot," exclaims the article.
The agency claims that close to 100,000 netizens in mainland China have called for a boycott on Hong Kong celebrities.
"The netizens' counter-attack on these heartless celebrities upholds justice. It is also a display of patriotism," says Xinhua. The agency criticises Hong Kong celebrities for being "ungrateful", as "the mainland market and fans are the ones who feed them".
And finally, media highlight a discussion about the need to apply the "rule of law" in the armed forces after a powerful military body warned of "ideological struggles" in the army.
On Wednesday, the Central Military Commission published a front-page article in the People's Liberation Army Daily, urging the military to remain loyal to the Communist Party's leadership and strengthen the "rule of law".
The article notes that ideological struggles and differing views within the People's Liberation Army (PLA) are "exceptionally acute and complicated", and that military reform could be hindered by "structural problems".
"There have been some public intellectuals advocating the nationalisation of the army through disaffiliating it from the Party's leadership," PLA Major General Luo Yuan tells English-language daily Global Times.
Talking to the same paper, military expert Xu Guangyu points out that "the army has to address the corruption problem".

Mustakim Jaman, 23, and another brother, Tuhin Shahensha, 27, were arrested in October.
Both deny charges of engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorism.
Mr Jaman told the court they could not put his parents through the agony of losing another son in conflict.
Kingston Crown Court heard that Ifthekar Jaman died in Syria in 2013, shortly after appearing on the BBC's Newsnight programme.
Mustakim Jaman told the jury, who were shown a clip of the programme, that his family was "devastated" by his brother's death.
He said: "To be honest we are quite reserved people and it is one of those things that you want never to happen to your family.
"There's nobody you can talk to about it. You can't try to relate it to other people because this hadn't happened to anyone else in the community at that time."
The two brothers are accused of being part of a group of extremists from Portsmouth who supported using serious violence to create an Islamic state.
But Mr Jaman said neither he nor his brother had planned to travel to the Middle East to join the fighting.
He said Mr Shahensha was seen as a "coward", who was not going to go "because he didn't want our mother and father to lose another son".
"I knew he wasn't going to go; he told me he wasn't going to go.
"We had seen what they went through and we knew we couldn't put them through any more."
Mr Jaman did admit that he lied to police about men he is accused of helping to travel to Syria to fight.
He told officers that he thought the men were going to Turkey on holiday, but said in court he thought they were going to Syria to provide humanitarian relief at a refugee camp.
Asked why he had not told the truth, the defendant said that at the time he believed that anyone travelling to Syria was breaking the law and wanted to protect himself and his brother.
In addition to their brother Ifthekar, the court heard that five of the brothers' friends went to Syria.
Mr Jaman said: "They never discussed going out to Syria to fight. You wouldn't assume that they wanted to go and do that; they were just normal guys.
"They weren't people you would expect to pick up arms."
Mr Jaman was asked by prosecutor Gareth Patterson if he believed in IS's goal of creating a Muslim state.
He replied: "Every Muslim wants to see the creation of [an] Islamic state. That doesn't mean the one IS have created.
"How it's going to come about we don't know but it is something that is just prophesised.
"I believe that if it is prophesised we are meant to believe it."
After being shown another clip from Newsnight, Mr Jaman was questioned over his brother Ifthekar's mention of IS aid work.
Calling the work "good deeds", Mr Jaman said: "Whether it was a battle for hearts and minds or not, they were still doing it, providing for the community."
The prosecutor said: "You knew that Isis [IS] were believed to be one of the most radical groups, accused of brutalities including summary executions."
He replied: "Some of the group did that, not all of them."
Mr Patterson continued: "It was with all that knowledge, that they were part of al-Qaeda, that we must view your conduct in the weeks and months that followed.
"You had watched that broadcast and seen what was being said or suggested about Isis."
Mr Jaman replied: "What was suggested, yes."
The trial continues.
The attack happened while soldiers had gathered to receive their salaries at a barracks in the city of Aden, which is controlled by pro-government forces.
Some estimates put the death toll at 50, with as many as 70 injured.
It is not yet clear who carried out the attack but so-called Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility.
The city has previously been targeted by jihadist groups in the region. In August, a suicide attack claimed by IS killed at least 60 people in the city.
One soldier at the base, Waleed Rashed, told the Associated Press news agency that he had arrived shortly after the attack and had seen private cars take injured people to hospital, before ambulances arrived.
"I could hear the wounded soldiers screaming for help," he said.
Yemen has been in constant conflict since March 2015, as forces allied to the exiled President, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, battle the Houthi rebel movement.
Jihadist groups such as the so-called Islamic State and al-Qaeda have taken advantage of the conflict to carve out areas of control in the south of Yemen.
The scale of the humanitarian crisis is enormous - more than three million people have left their homes, and more than half the country's population does not have a secure source of food.
Pro-government forces, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, took control of Aden in the summer of 2015.
Since then, it has suffered a string of bombings which have killed up to several dozen at once.
The UN estimates that 7,270 people, mostly civilians, have been killed since the conflict began.
The Real Junk Food Project in Armley, Leeds needs more than £100,000 after its premises were put up for sale.
The project has served 3,000 people hot meals in the cafe, and intercepted more than 10,000 kilos of waste since opening in December 2013.
Founder Adam Smith now hopes to buy the cafe building and keep it open.
The cafe takes edible food destined for landfill from supermarkets, restaurants and market stalls across Leeds.
Its success led to similar projects starting up elsewhere in the country.
Speaking 20 years after she was last seen leaving a Bath nightclub, police said the discovery would help the investigation "significantly".
Miss Hall's remains were found at the side of a motorway slip-road in 2009.
Pat Hall said she would like to know "who it was" and why her daughter had been left "in such a ridiculous place".
Miss Hall, 25, who was a clerical worker at the Royal United Hospital in Bath, had been for a night out at Cadillacs nightclub when she was last seen on 9 June 1996.
A black bin liner containing her bones and skull was found by a workman clearing vegetation next to a slip-road at junction 14 of the M5, near Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, on 5 October 2009.
Nine people have been arrested in connection with the case since the investigation began but no-one has been charged.
Det Supt Andy Bevan said: "Through new techniques, we're in the process of developing a DNA profile.
"There's no doubt this brings us an important step closer to finding her killer."
Her mother Pat, from Bradford on Avon, said she would like to know "who it was and why" and why her daughter had been left "in such a ridiculous place, by the side of a motorway".
"It was just the fact that she had been found and left in such a public place with no dignity," Mrs Hall said.
"At least that allowed us to do that very last thing that a lot of us do for our loved ones, to actually be able to say goodbye in a dignified way."
Ms Hall's father Steve said they had realised within days that she was "probably dead or in serious trouble".
"Our lives have been totally altered and they can't be put back together completely," Mr Hall said.
"We're saying once again, someone out there knows something, someone could come forward with information which could solve this crime.
"I believe there are a number of people out there who probably know what happened to Melanie and the people involved and, for whatever reason, they've seen fit not to come forward."
A statement by chairman David Phillips said the two parties are now in the process of completing due diligence.
In 2015, he led a consortium of local businessmen who purchased the National League club from Thea Bristow.
"If and when a deal is completed, this will be wonderful news for TUFC," Phillips said. "There will be significant finance put into the club."
Last summer's takeover led to budget cuts which have coincided with the Gulls struggling near the bottom of the table.
They are currently 22nd, two points from safety, with seven games left to play this season.
Torquay's financial problems have included claims that some players were on contracts worth "less than the minimum wage".
Phillips' statement continued: "It is common knowledge that since the current board of directors saved the club from oblivion last June, we have lacked the finance to move forward.
"Unfortunately this has indirectly reflected in the results on the pitch.
"Among many things proposed by the new investors would be to resurrect the youth academy, which would be fantastic news for the club."
Phillips urged supporters to "remain patient" and not cause any "unrest" as boss Kevin Nicholson and the team try to avoid relegation.
"The next month is a critical period in the club's history. Any distractions, however well-meaning, will have a negative impact," he added.

She was best known for her television roles in the 1960s sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show and the eponymous The Mary Tyler Moore Show in the 1970s.
She was also nominated for a best actress Oscar in 1980 for the film Ordinary People.
Mara Buxbaum said in a statement she died in the company of friends and her husband, Dr S. Robert Levine.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Moore moved to Los Angeles when she was eight years old and started her career in show business as a dancer aged 17.
Her first appearance was in a Hotpoint advert in the 1950s, dressed as an elf.
But her parts grew in size during that decade, before she landed the role of wife Laura Petrie in The Dick Van Dyke Show in 1961.
Later, she starred as TV producer Mary Richards in her self-titled sitcom. Running for seven seasons from 1970 to 1977, it was named by Time Magazine as one of 17 shows that "changed television".
Moore emerged onscreen at a time when women in leading roles were traditional housewife characters.
But with her modern trousers and Jackie Kennedy-style hair, she challenged the stereotype in front of millions of viewers.
Jason and Christy Zielsdorf, who have five children and ran a shop in the small Highlands community of Laggan, are to leave voluntarily on Thursday.
The Home Office said the family's bid to continue living in Scotland failed to meet immigration rules.
The Zielsdorfs have been fighting to stay, saying they have sought to meet all requirements of their visa.
Laggan Stores Coffee Bothy and Wayfarer's Rest, the shop the family ran in Laggan in the Cairngorms, closed on 14 April and has been put up for sale by the family.
Mr Zielsdorf told BBC Radio Scotland that he and his family felt that they had no choice but to leave.
He said: "We can always opt out of our voluntary departure, but it would just be inevitable unless the Home Office does something significantly in our favour."
The Home Office has said Mr Zielsdorf's application for an extension of leave to remain under the Tier 1 Entrepreneur route was refused as it did not meet the immigration rules on several counts.
These included providing evidence of self-employment, evidence of National Insurance contributions and the requirement to employ two people full-time for 12 months.
A Home Office spokesman added that all visa applications were "carefully considered on their individual merits" in line with the UK immigration rules.
The Zielsdorfs' deportation comes about six months after an Australian family that had been facing deportation was granted permission by the Home Office to continue living in the UK.
Gregg and Kathryn Brain and their son Lachlan, who live in Dingwall in the Highlands, had been trying to qualify for a new visa.
The family initially moved to the UK in 2011 on Mrs Brain's student visa.
They had intended to move to a post-study visa but this scheme was withdrawn by the UK government.
However, Mrs Brain managed to secure a job that met visa regulations and the Home Office allowed her to remain in the UK.
Also in the last six months, a mother of two who was at risk of being deported because of an issue with her visa was granted leave to stay in the UK.
Gloria Macleod, who has an Indian passport and is married to a Scot currently working in Dubai, was also living in Dingwall.
The couple's young daughters were attending a local school and the family was planning to set up home in the area.
The Home Office had previously said she that she did not have the correct visa.
"Jazz is very improvisation-based. There are rules, but it is also about making things up as you go along," he says.
"That experimentation is also vital when you are running a company like Hotels.com.
"In our industry you have to keep changing all the time to make money, to stay ahead of your competitors - you feel the pressure of Darwinian selection on you all the time."
The 44-year-old Irishman has been president of Hotels.com - part of US online travel bookings giant Expedia - for 10 years.
Selling rooms in more than 200,000 hotels around the globe, the London-based company takes a commission from each transaction.
When Mr Roche joined the company, it was "a tiny little business run in a kitchen-table fashion".
Under his stewardship - and thanks to the tremendous industry-wide growth in online retail - Hotels.com has seen its turnover increase 50-fold over the past decade to firmly establish itself as a market leader.
It now has 2,500 employees, and offices in more than 40 countries.
But, Mr Roche says, there is no room for complacency.
"Internet businesses are just like all other businesses… except that they operate at light speed. They are the mayflies of the business world, visibly ageing in front of your eyes.
"So internet companies can come into existence, ramp up to a gigantic scale, and then equally come down the other side of that precipitously.
"Remember Netscape, remember Lycos, remember AltaVista? The wreckage of failed internet businesses are all around.
"So you have to keep changing, you have to keep improving what you offer your customers. You have to keep on experimenting."
Mr Roche says his love of experimentation and running businesses was with him from an early age.
At home in Dublin as a child he would develop computer games on his basic Sinclair computer, while at school he would sell things to make money.
"I would say that my first business was selling water pistols at school," he says.
"Those were the days when corporal punishment was sanctioned, and I got biffed quite thoroughly for doing it, because of course the pistols were widely used in the classrooms, and it all got traced back to yours truly."
By the time he went to university at Dublin's Trinity College, playing jazz piano had become his primary way to make money.
"I worked as a musician throughout university, playing restaurants or corporate functions," he says. "And there was a certain amount of hustling with that - you have to go and find the work."
Mr Roche also ran one of the university magazines, where after being told he could pocket any advertising revenues he brought in, he sold space "very enthusiastically".
After graduating with a degree in maths and English, he and a friend opened an event-management business, organising live entertainment for hotels, tour companies and corporate clients.
"After three to four years we had a nice little busy, but I wanted to get out. Like many Irish people, I suddenly found the island to be too small. I wanted to get up and away, so I sold my share of the business and travelled around the world for a while."
After travelling for six months, Mr Roche settled in London and got a job with an advertising company.
"I thought it would be very creative, but my work certainly wasn't. I became very disillusioned with it. Basically I had the wrong idea of how advertising works and I got my comeuppance."
Quitting the advertising industry, Mr Roche's next job was to launch a start-up technology business. It taught him a valuable lesson - how to deal with failure.
The idea was to put TV screens into convenience stores, and play adverts on them.
After piloting the screens in 15 stores, the early 2000s dot-com bubble burst, and confidence in the scheme collapsed, leading to Mr Roche pulling the plug.
He says: "It teaches you personal resilience - sometimes stuff just doesn't work. Even if you put your heart and soul into it.
"You don't need to see that as a referendum on your potential as a human being, you just have to pick yourself up and move along."
Despite travelling all the time for work, David Roche says he still loves to go on holiday with his wife and two children.
His recent holiday destinations have included Venice, Thailand and India.
What he most values in a hotel is having a room that isn't too small, and a decent breakfast.
Move along Mr Roche did, joining Expedia in 2003 to run its Hotels.com subsidiary.
He explains that his method of management is to hire the very best people, set them an objective, "and then keep out of the way".
"This business is so ferociously competitive that I need people who want to make a difference," he says.
"They have to be coming up with new ideas, and it has to be the best idea that wins, even if I don't initially agree with it - I want my staff to be able to say they think I'm wrong."
Mr Roche explains that the changes and experimentation at Hotels.com are all connected to making its website, and the overall customer experience it offers, as easy and enjoyable as possible.
"The amount of information we are able to provide about the hotels will only go up and up. In the future we'll probably be able to be as specific as 'you'll get this room, it will look west, and this is the view'." | A woman found murdered in her home in Inverness had suffered a "sustained and brutal assault", police have said.

Care is preferred to Ben Youngs, while Marler gets in ahead of Mako Vunipola.
Back rower Jack Clifford, prop Paul Hill and centre Ollie Devoto are set to make their international debuts off the bench at Murrayfield.
Lock Courtney Lawes is included among the replacements after passing a fitness test on his hamstring injury.
"There were some tight calls on selection, but we have picked a match-day squad with a blend of experience and youth," said England head coach Eddie Jones, who succeeded Stuart Lancaster.
England: Mike Brown; Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph, Owen Farrell, Jack Nowell; George Ford, Danny Care; Joe Marler, Dylan Hartley (captain), Dan Cole, Joe Launchbury, George Kruis, Chris Robshaw, James Haskell, Billy Vunipola.
Replacements: Jamie George, Mako Vunipola, Paul Hill, Courtney Lawes, Jack Clifford, Ben Youngs, Alex Goode, Ollie Devoto.
Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley skippers an England side attempting to retain the Calcutta Cup, which they have held since 2009.
Owen Farrell, Billy Vunipola and Mike Brown have been appointed vice-captains. The starting XV boasts 512 caps, but no debutants.
Former captain Chris Robshaw is moved across the back row to blind-side flanker, with James Haskell taking over at open-side.
George Ford plays at fly-half with Farrell at inside centre in their second Test start together.
"The boys have worked hard since coming into camp to understand how I want the team to play going forward," added Australian Jones.
"We are confident we can go to Edinburgh and win, but we're in no doubt it will be a huge challenge.
"Playing at Murrayfield in front of a passionate Scottish crowd will be a real test for this team but one I know we can rise to."
BBC Sport's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce:
New head coach Eddie Jones has gone for experience over promise after selecting a battle-hardened England XV to open their Six Nations campaign against Scotland.
It means nine of the men who started England's last match - the meaningless World Cup win over Uruguay - will get the chance to kick-start the new regime.
When Stuart Lancaster's own spell began with the same fixture four years ago, his first XV featured three new caps and only six survivors of a team that had lost to France in the quarter-finals of the preceding World Cup.
Yet Jones has been far more conservative with Scotland chasing a first win over England in eight years.
It is five years now since England last won the Six Nations Championship and 13 since their last Grand Slam, but they have won on their past two visits to Murrayfield, keeping Scotland scoreless two winters ago.
However, with their hosts coming off a more successful World Cup - only a controversial late penalty decision denying them a place in the semi-finals - Saturday afternoon is likely to prove a testing baptism.
Speaking to reporters following Thursday's team announcement, Jones looked to be handling the scrutiny in his stride.
"If Eddie Jones feels under any pressure ahead of his first match in charge of England, he's not showing it so far," said Fordyce.
"He was all relaxation and smiles, combative when pushed on the lack of new faces but clearly excited.
"He admits to nerves but only positive ones: 'I don't sit there biting my nails or scratching my head.'
"With his years of international coaching experience, the former Australia and Japan coach has seen bigger occasions than this - and, in a frenetic Six Nations build-up, his calmness is so far shining through." | England have selected Danny Care at scrum-half and Joe Marler at loose-head prop for Saturday's Six Nations match against Scotland. | 35,490,568 | 831 | 30 | false |
Dagnall, who has now scored three goals in two appearances since returning after a three-match ban, showed his clinical edge in a game of few chances, scoring the opener with a superb header before following that up with a simpler finish six minutes from time.
A third win in four games moves David Artell's side 13 points clear of the League Two relegation zone, while the visitors fell four points adrift seventh-placed Exeter.
After the match had survived two pitch inspections at Gresty Road, the game kicked off 15 minutes late and Crewe started strongest.
Callum Cooke's fierce drive was turned around a post by Sam Walker before Jordan Bowery volleyed over.
Dagnall opened the scoring in the 26th minute as he flung himself to connect with George Cooper's free-kick and headed past Walker.
Colchester went close to levelling when substitute Tarique Fosu volleyed inches past the far post before Crewe goalkeeper Ben Garratt did well to keep out Rekeil Pyke's close-range header with his legs.
And Dagnall made it 2-0 with six minutes left when he turned in Cooke's cut-back pass from the byeline.
Garratt preserved his clean sheet - a third in four games - with two late saves from Brennan Dickenson and substitute Macauley Bonne.

But an ingenious cover makes hardware store drills safe for surgery - at a tiny fraction of the cost of specialist surgical drills.
In poorer countries, surgeons often have to rely on time-consuming manual drills for bone operations.
By making power drills affordable, the sterile cover allows surgeons to operate faster and help more patients.
The drill covers have been developed by a company called Arbutus Medical.

For the first time, England's exams are going to be linked to an international benchmark, with the new grading system for GCSEs being pegged to the Pisa tests run every three years by the OECD.
Not that long ago, few people would even have heard of the Pisa tests, now they're being used as a kind of global educational gold standard.
It's like football clubs wanting to test themselves in the Champions league rather than count their domestic trophies.
And it means that in future, the difficulty of exams taken by England's school pupils will be linked to what's happening in classrooms on the other side of the world.
It's a signal that international comparisons are now an inescapable dimension of measuring school standards.
Just as you wouldn't look at an economy in isolation from other countries, so too it seems increasingly difficult to measure an education system without reference to what is being achieved elsewhere.
Andreas Schleicher, the presiding authority over the Pisa tests, has become a global education guru, delivering his findings to political leaders like Moses coming down from the mountain, with his commandments on an iPad rather than tablets of stone.
The Pisa tests have created a different map of the world.
They show the ambitions of rising economies in Asia and the rather faded glories of the old western powers.
Without such tests, how else would we know that school standards are now higher in Vietnam than in the United States?
Another set of test results this week gave a more optimistic view of England's teenagers.
The OECD's league table of problem solving skills put England into a very respectable 11th place.
This suggested that the school system is producing young people with enough rounded skills to be able to apply their knowledge.
Such wider perspectives would have been impossible if the only yardstick was comparing this year's GCSE results with last year's.
There are critics of such international rankings, who say that it's not meaningful or fair to compare such different countries.
How can you measure an affluent Scandinavian country with a sprawling industrialised superpower or an emerging Asian city state?
It might not be fair, but in a global economy young people from all those places will be competing with each other.
And the outcomes are far from a foregone conclusion. Sweden has tumbled behind countries such as Poland and Estonia.
But what difference does it make?
As Mr Schleicher puts it: "Your education today is your economy tomorrow."
Bale will miss Thursday's clash with Northern Ireland in Cardiff and the trip to the Ukraine on March 28 after consultation with Real Madrid.
But Coleman says the "joint decision," will have no long term consequences.
"If you look at his record he is not a player who misses games unless he has to," said the Wales manager.
Bale, 26, is missing the two friendlies because of fitness concerns.
The Ukraine game is also scheduled the day before Bale's partner Emma Rhys-Jones is due to give birth to their second child.
Wales' last superstar player, Manchester United assistant Ryan Giggs, was criticised for missing friendlies when he was playing for his national team.
And there were worries over Bale's availability when the 54-times capped forward went to Real Madrid.
But Coleman said: '"If you look at his record he is not a player that misses unless he has to. He is not a player that says 'you know what may be I don't need to be there.'
"He knows we need him whenever we can have him and if it's possible for him to be here, he is always here.
"He is not a player that we look at and think 'maybe he will, maybe he won't,' he always does. You know if he is not here it is not possible for him to be here."
Coleman added: "People at the start of the campaign said, they won't get him now because he is in Madrid, that we would not get him as much. But this has been his best form for Wales.
"I never once worried when he went to Madrid. From a personal point of view, I thought it would be better for us.
"I know La Liga, it's a great league, but I have said before, it's a slower tempo than the Premier League. It's less taxing physically so it's better for us he is out there.
"Physically when we get him he's probably better than when he is playing 45 or 55 games for Spurs in the Premier League and cup games. That is way more taxing to play in, than La Liga.
"So, if we're being selfish it is better for us he stays where he is."
The Cumbernauld-based maker of Irn Bru, Tizer and Rubicon posted a 1.1% fall in sales for the 15 weeks to 9 May.
It also came up against tough comparisons from a year earlier, when it sponsored the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
But the business said sales in the wider soft drinks market lifted by 0.7% in the same period.
Barr's sales figures excluded its offloaded Orangina and Findlays water coolers drinks brands, but did include a £3m revenue contribution from its recently acquired Funkin cocktail drinks business.
The firm said it would continue to extend its reach into the south of England by developing its factory in Milton Keynes.
It plans to extend the site's warehousing capacity, and will buy more land next to the plant at a cost of £11m.
In a statement ahead of its annual general meeting, AG Barr said: "Margins continue to hold up well as we drive efficiency improvement across the business.
"We have a strong summer brand programme planned across all of our core brands and expect to see a return to sales growth in the second half of this financial year."
The Care Quality Commission review said emergency care was one of the poorest-performing parts of the system.
It cited safety as a major weakness, with 22 of 184 units rated inadequate and another 95 requiring improvement.
The government said extra money was being put into services to help.
But the CQC questioned whether this was enough.
The regulator said rationing of council care, including access to home help for daily tasks such as washing and dressing and care homes, was pushing more old and frail people into hospital.
CQC chief executive David Behan said the council care system had reached "tipping point" and was in the worst state he could remember during his 38-year career in the system.
In an unprecedented step for the regulator, he called on ministers to pump more money into the council care system.
1.2 million
people with care needs go without help
4 in 10 people in care homes pay for themselves
300,000 fewer people receive council-funded help than four years ago
£100,000 or more spent on care by 1 in 10 people
NHS Wales: £700m 'black hole' fear as pressures rise
He highlighted figures showing the numbers getting care had fallen by a quarter in the past four years, leaving one million older people with care needs getting no help at all.
"That is having an impact on A&E - attendances are rising, emergency admissions are going up and there are delays getting patients out of hospital."
He refused to say how much extra the care system should get. Just under £8bn a year is spent on services - a fall of 9% in the past five years.
The review comes after the BBC revealed on Tuesday that the CQC team that monitors the care market - most care is provided by outside agencies but paid for by councils - was worried about the future of the sector.
It reported growing numbers of care homes were closing and companies handing back contracts to councils.
When the CQC is particularly concerned about safety or the quality of care it can take enforcement action. This includes fines and closing down services.
But it has also been given new powers to prosecute the worst offenders and has had two successful prosecutions to date.
In June, St Anne's Community Services was fined £190,000 following the death of a 62-year-old man who broke his neck in a fall from a shower chair at a nursing home in West Yorkshire in April 2015.
Then in September, Coverage Care Services was fined £50,000 and a former manager fined £685 following the death of a resident at Coton Hill House care home in Shrewsbury in February 2015.
CQC inspectors found the resident had not been given his medication to prevent blood clots for up to 30 days before he died.
But while the CQC expressed concern about the pressures being seen, it also said there were many examples of good care among the 20,000 inspections it had carried out.
Despite the cuts to council care services, the help that was being provided in the home and in care homes was rated as good or outstanding in 72% of cases.
Meanwhile, 87% of GP practices were good and outstanding, as was 42% of hospital care overall. No mental health service was rated as outstanding and just 34% as good.
Not every service has yet been inspected, although the vast majority of hospitals and mental health care facilities have - and over half of GP practices and care services have been.
Katherine Murphy of the Patients Association said the findings were "sobering".
"While there are nuggets of positive examples of trusts successfully swimming against the tide, fundamentally, the tide has turned and the pressures are becoming so great that the health and social care sector is struggling to meet demand whilst delivering excellent quality care."
A year ago, a project - backed by NHS England as part of the vanguard programme - was launched in the London borough of Sutton to get the NHS and the care system to work more closely together.
It has seen GPs employed to carry out regular visits to care homes, with each resident now receiving six-monthly check-ups.
A pharmacist is on hand to visit homes to carry out medicine reviews. And district nurses have been used to train care home staff in dementia, falls and diabetes.
It certainly seems to be working.
Since the project started a year ago, there has been a 10% drop in visits to A&E.
But a Department of Health spokeswoman said the health and care sector was "coping well" given the pressures.
And she said ministers were already providing extra money to the care sector through the Better Care Fund, which is largely funded by the NHS to encourage joint working between councils and the health service.
Local authorities have also been allowed to increase council tax by 2% a year this Parliament to pay for social care - although councils have claimed this is not enough to plug the shortfall in their care budgets because of the wider squeeze on their funding.

The bodies were discovered by a rescue team sent to retrieve the body of a Slovak climber who died on the mountain on Sunday.
All the fatalities have occurred in or near the so-called "death zone", where oxygen levels are extremely low.
Local media reported that the latest deaths were two foreign climbers and two Sherpa guides.
This season has also claimed the lives of an Australian, Francesco Marchetti; an Indian, Ravi Kumar, whose body was found on Monday; and 85-year-old Min Bahadur Sherchan, who died attempting to reclaim his title as the world's oldest person to reach the top.
World-renowned Swiss climber Ueli Steck also died during an acclimatisation climb at the end of April.
Meanwhile, a 29-year-old Spaniard is being hailed as having reached the summit in the fastest-ever time, without rope or extra oxygen.
Kilian Jornet reached the top, from the Tibetan side, in just 26 hours, his team said on Tuesday.
The record cannot be verified until he returns.
An Indian woman, Anshu Jamsenpa, is also believed to have set the new woman's record for the fastest double ascent, having climbed the mountain twice in one week.
She will now have to approach Guinness World Records to register her climbs after they have been certified by Nepal's ministry of tourism.
The Everest main climbing season is a short window of a few weeks, ending in early June with the arrival of the monsoon. Most climbers head up in May, although there is also a shorter opportunity later in the year.
More than 382 climbers have successfully reached the summit from the south side so far this season, with at least 120 doing so from the Tibet side, according to Reuters news agency.
More than 200 people have died on Everest since 1920, with the vast majority of those deaths taking place since 1980.
In fact, to find the last year without any known deaths, you have to go back to 1977. The deadliest season in the mountain's history was 2015 when 24 people died, mostly as a result of avalanches. Last year, five people died on Everest itself.
However, the numbers of people attempting the climb have also skyrocketed since 1990, when the Nepalese government withdrew restrictions on how many teams were allowed on to the mountain - which means the percentage of climbers who die has actually dropped.
Mountaineers on Everest die for a number of reasons - more than 20% are killed by exposure or acute mountain sickness.
But according to statistics given to the BBC by the Himalaya Database in 2015, by far the highest number of people who died did so because of avalanches (29%), with falls being the next largest cause of death (23%).
The problem of what to do with those who lose their lives in remote or difficult locations is one that plagues the mountain.
Bodies which can be retrieved are brought back down the mountain, but others are left on the snowy slopes and crevasses. Some bodies have been known to reappear as glaciers move.
There are a number of notable corpses, including Francys Arsentiev, the woman who became known as "Sleeping Beauty".
She lay where she died, wrapped in her purple jacket next to the main route, from 1998 until 2007, when her body was lowered down the side of the mountain and out of sight.
There is more information about the so-called "graveyard in the clouds" here.
The change will affect anyone receiving a digital terrestrial signal from the main transmitter at Selkirk.
It will not have an impact on satellite television viewers and those on local relay transmitters.
The switch - on 1 March - is the start of a major project being carried out across the UK from now until 2020.
Some Freeview channels are moving to new airwaves to allow for the future development of new mobile broadband services.
Transmitters across the UK are being updated region by region with the Borders site, which is the first to undergo the change.
Changes at the Selkirk transmitter - which serves about 18,000 homes - will take place at the start of next month.
After that, any viewers receiving their TV signal from Selkirk who find they are missing BBC channels should retune to get them back.
High-definition (HD) BBC channels are not affected by the move.
Freeview said it would be running an information campaign to prepare people for the change, including advertising and on-screen messages.
It said retuning should be straightforward and added that some TV equipment would retune automatically.
Some older aerials may need to be replaced to continue receiving the channels.
Anyone who needs advice has been directed to the Freeview website or advice line on 0808 100 0288.
The boy was found with "life-threatening injuries" at a property on Thresher Drive on 25 March and died six days later on Friday, 31 March.
Wiltshire Police said the same man had previously been questioned on suspicion of attempted murder.
A post-mortem examination is set to take place later this week while inquiries continue, police added.
Victory for the Warriors also completed a 2-0 World Club Series win for Super League over Australia's NRL.
Oliver Gildart also crossed as an English club became world champions for the first time since Leeds in 2012.
Wigan's success was aided by a superb defensive effort, with Cronulla's only score coming from Jesse Ramien midway through the second period.
However, the Sharks had two marginal video referee decisions go against them when claiming tries of their own during the first half.
National Rugby League clubs had won all six matches since the inception of the expanded World Club Series in 2015, but Super League champions Wigan followed up Warrington's victory over Brisbane Broncos to secure a first series win for the northern hemisphere's domestic competition.
Wigan won three of the first five World Club Challenge contests but had not been victorious in the annual fixture since 1994.
Burgess, in his first home match since returning to the club following a year playing in Australia, enjoyed the perfect homecoming for the Cherry and Whites.
He is only the second player to score a hat-trick in a World Club Challenge, following Michael Jennings' treble for Sydney Roosters against Wigan in 2014.
England winger Burgess, a scorer for the Warriors in that loss three years earlier, acrobatically touched down for their opening score and he grabbed his second at the end of a thrilling passage of play.
The home side survived two punishing sets of six tackles near their own try line, before going the length of the field to establish a 10-0 lead.
Sharks second-rower Luke Lewis had already seen his effort ruled out for offside and there was more disappointment for the reigning NRL champions as Kurt Capewell was deemed to have scraped the whitewash with the ball as he grounded it in the corner.
Gildart's score, adding to his try in last season's Grand Final victory over Warrington, gave Wigan some valuable breathing space but any hopes of becoming the third World Club Challenge winners to prevent their opponents from scoring were ended when Ramien touched down a grubber kick in the corner.
As well as Wigan's defence performed, Cronulla - who do not begin their league season until the start of March - were guilty of several handling errors and the Warriors were able to see out time with little alarm.
And Burgess was able to produce a dream finale, getting a fingertip onto a low kick in the last minute to complete his hat-trick.
Wigan Warriors head coach Shaun Wane told BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "It's a fantastic feeling and I'm so pleased. The staff work hard but the players do their business out on the park.
"We did too much defending. I'm trying to stay positive and not think about how we played. I'm just glad to get the win.
"One thing we're good at in this country is looking for negatives. Let's be positive. Tony Smith did a great job with Warrington on Saturday and we won fair and square. Let's give Super League a pat on the back."
Cronulla head coach Shane Flanagan: "Wigan played really well and I thought it was a good game of footy. I wasn't happy with the refereeing, but Wigan took their opportunities and good luck to them.
"It's a great experience to come over here and play. The hospitality we've been shown has been fantastic and the game's in good shape when we can get games like this on in a packed stadium.
"We've had a great time. A lot of our players have never been to the UK and they'll be better players for it."
Wigan: Escare; Tierney, Gelling, Gildart, Burgess; Williams, Leuluai; Nuuausala, Powell, Flower, Bateman, Farrell, O'Loughlin.
Replacements: Tomkins, Clubb, Tautai, Sutton.
Cronulla: Beale; Ramien, Bird, Leutele, Capewell; Maloney, Townsend; Fifita, Brailey, Prior, Lewis, Graham, Gallen.
Replacements: Brown, Heighington, Bukuya, Tagataese.

The giant glass jar, placed outside the city's Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art, was smashed and its contents taken.
Designed by artist Caio Locke, it was entitled Endless Carnival and contained two painted merry-go-round horses.
It was one of 50 created to raise funds for Save the Children and Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity.
The Glasgow jar, which was more than 4ft tall (1.28m), has now been removed from the trail.
Personalities from across the globe, including Steven Spielberg, Prof Stephen Hawking, Simon Cowell, the Duchess of Cornwall and BFG actor Mark Rylance, were invited to help design a jar for the fundraising drive. The sculptures were then created by a specialist design company.
Most of the dream jars are displayed in London but Glasgow, Birmingham, Cardiff and Cheshire are also taking part.
Artist Caio Locke said his jar evoked the enduring magic of the fairground carousel: "My dream is a carnival that never ends, with magical horses designed to keep the merry-go-round forever turning."
Natasha Parker from Save the Children said: "We are incredibly disappointed to learn that Ciao Locke's The Endless Carnival Dream Jar which was a beautiful and unique piece of art, has been taken from the city centre and will sadly no longer be a part of The BFG Dream Jar Trail.
"It was set to raise thousands for Save the Children via the live online auction at www.paddle8.com/bfg to help vulnerable children around the world get the chance to make their dreams come true."
A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: "We were approached by the organiser of this project and asked to find a suitable location in the city.
"It's deeply disappointing that an artwork intended to help raise money for vulnerable children has been vandalised.
"If anyone has any information on who is responsible then we urge them to contact the police."
Imports meanwhile fell 12.3% in yuan terms compared to forecasts for a fall of more than 11%.
The numbers mean the country's monthly trade surplus has shrunk to its smallest in 13 months.
China's economy grew by 7.4% in 2014, its weakest for almost 25 years.
Analysts said recent indicators showed further signs the slowdown is continuing.
In US dollar terms, China's exports for the month fell 15%, while imports fell 12.7%.
Currency conversion factors based on US dollar and Chinese yuan movements over the last year mean some official numbers from the mainland are now reported in both currencies.
The official March data leaves the country with a monthly trade surplus of 18.16bn Chinese yuan ($2.92bn; £1.99bn).
In February, China's monthly trade surplus hit a record $60.6bn, as exports grew and imports slid back.
Analysts said the export numbers for March were a surprise.
"We can understand the imports fell because of falling imports of commodities, but exports fell so much, it was very much unexpected," said Shanghai-based analyst Nie Wen from Hwabao Trust.
However, he said one major reason for the falling exports was yuan appreciation.
Tony Nash, head of Delta Economics, said the numbers took in the lunar new year period which was typically a bit volatile.
"We usually average February and March to get a true picture of what's actually happening," he told the BBC.
"If we look at February's 48% rise in exports and March's 15% fall in exports, we get a moving average of 16.7%, which is closer to where we've seen exports over the past two months."
But Mr Nash said his firm was expecting a further slowdown going forward.
"In the second quarter, we'll look for an average of 9.9% year-on-year export growth and 11.7% import growth," he said.
"Trade will fall towards the back half of the year and we will look for average export growth in 2015 at 8.7% year-on-year, and import growth at 10.3% year-on-year.
Broadwater Cemetery has run out of space for new burials and will be closed soon.
Linda Thorne, whose sister is buried there, said she found its current condition "really upsetting and heartbreaking".
Worthing Borough Council said it had been given approval to maintain the cemetery as a "wildlife haven".
Ms Thorne said graves and monuments were being broken up by weeds and trees because the area was not being looked after.
Her wheelchair-bound mother had also been unable to visit her daughter's grave in recent years because of the state of the paths, she said.
Ian Hart, a funeral director, said he thought the state of the graveyard was disrespectful.
Tom Wye, of the Friends of Broadwater Cemetery, said: "Making a cemetery into a nature reserve is not a licence to do nothing."
He said he sympathised with the council as funding had been cut over the last four years but the site still needed to be actively managed.
Worthing Borough Council said the site was now considered a nature reserve because of a lack of space for new graves.
A spokesman insisted the cemetery was still being looked after with the grass being cut four times a year.
However, grass cutting was now "less intensive" with a focus on "meadow management" in places where there is wildflower interest, he said.
Maria Sadaqat's family say she was attacked and set on fire at her home in Murree after turning down a suitor.
Local police arrested four men - but later said the case was a suicide and released the men on bail.
The investigation was "flawed" and the death had been painted "as suicide rather than murder", the mission said.
Ms Sadaqat, 19, suffered severe burns on 29 May, with local media reporting she had sustained 85% burns.
Ms Sadaqat gave statements to the police in hospital, naming several men as her attackers, before she died on 1 June.
Police initially arrested four men, including the owner of a school where Ms Sadaqat taught not far from the capital Islamabad.
Ms Sadaqat's family said the attackers had wanted revenge because she had rejected a marriage proposal from the school owner's son, because he was already married with a child.
However, a police investigation concluded a month later that the victim had taken her own life, leading to the release of the suspects on bail.
On Wednesday, a committee by the Supreme Court Bar Association said Ms Sadaqat could not have committed suicide and that the nature of her burn injuries suggested she had been attacked.
"Neither Maria's hands were burnt nor her feet were burnt," Supreme Court Bar President Ali Zafar told reporters, adding that this matched her statement where she said she had been held to the ground by four men.
The fact finding panel had gathered information from the scene of the attack and interviewed family members, doctors and police.
Its report also suggests that there had been a campaign of "character assassination" against the victim and her family, probably in an effort to silence them.
"The mission strongly feels that flawed investigations encourage crimes against women and this is one of the reasons that honour killings are on the rise," the report said.
Nearly 1,100 women were killed in so-called honour killings in Pakistan last year, the country's independent Human Rights Commission says.
Violence against women is common in Pakistan and is often connected to a perceived slight or loss of honour, as is alleged to have occurred in Maria Sadaqat's case.
Often such violence goes unreported - and most of it takes place within the family.
In many cases - although not in Maria Sadaqat's - relatives hoping to keep the family name out of the news prefer to make out-of-court settlements.
Punjab province, where the attack on her happened, passed a landmark law in February criminalising all forms of violence against women.
However, more than 30 religious groups, including all the mainstream Islamic political parties, threatened to launch protests if the law was not repealed.
The sites closed included those selling authentic-looking certificates using the names of real British universities.
Others were providers offering distance learning courses but were not valid UK degree awarding bodies.
An agency set up to investigate the issue, Higher Education Degree Datacheck (Hedd), said it had reports of more than 90 bogus institutions.
It follows a BBC South East investigation which found fake University of Kent degree certificates on sale online in China for £500.
Jayne Rowley, the higher education services director at Prospects which runs Hedd, said last September was its busiest month so far, with the closure of four bogus university sites and three websites selling fake degree certificates from multiple UK universities.
"One of the institutions we shut down in September was Stafford University. Now, of course there is an entirely genuine Staffordshire University, so they are piggy-backing on a name," she said.
"There are some sites where they've actually taken the name of a real university - Surrey for example.
"There was a bogus provider shut down by us a couple of months ago calling itself Surrey University, and we've had 'Wolverhamton university' without the 'p' in the middle."
Other fake certificates have purported to have come from Salford and Anglia Ruskin universities, while degrees from the University of Manchester were sold on the auction website eBay.
The government announced a crackdown on bogus providers in June 2015, with the aim of prosecuting and taking down fraudulent websites.
Ms Rowley said Hedd had taken action against offenders both in the UK and overseas.
She said: "Under UK law you are not allowed to call yourself a university unless you are entitled to do so and that requires an order from the Secretary of State.
"If you are using the name of a real university that is breaching trademark laws, you are not allowed to trade on somebody's good name."
Hedd has now asked new graduates not to take photographs with their real degree certificates in case they inadvertently aid fraudsters.
A spokesman for the Department for Education said: "Degree fraud cheats both genuine learners and employers so we've taken decisive action to crack down on those seeking to profit from it."
A young mother, dressed in the green of Pakistan, crouched to tend to her baby then jumped up to celebrate as India batsman Shikhar Dhawan was given run out.
In years to come she will be able to tell the child that they were at the cricket match which organisers claim was the most watched the world has ever seen.
The fiercest of rivalries and a lack of opportunities for these countries to compete against each other in sport creates a perfect storm for hype and anticipation.
When the rivalry is between India and Pakistan, a shared border and a shared love of cricket, historical tensions over politics and religion, a meeting on the first weekend of the World Cup was guaranteed to generate fervent excitement.
Tickets were said to be changing hands in the run-up for $750 on the black market.
The match was estimated to have attracted a global TV audience of over one billion. For every one person inside the ground, more than 200,000 were watching around the globe. The local newspaper was fully justified in its Sunday morning front-page headline "The Eyes of the World".
They travelled from all over the planet to be a part of it. Some 7,500 from India alone, but also from the UK, Singapore and even the United States. An estimated 35,000 visitors flocked to Adelaide, a city that only contains 26,000 hotel beds.
Every room within an hour radius was fully booked, the local airport putting up bed-less fans free of charge.
On a stiflingly hot Sunday morning, this part of South Australia was turned blue and green five hours before the first ball was bowled.
A day earlier, the walk to the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the Australia-England game felt more like a music festival than a sporting contest.
This was no different, except with an actual gig taking place, as India fans lined the steps outside the entrance to the Adelaide Oval to dance and sing.
Inside the ground, and from the distance of the press box, the assault on the eyes and ears was built on what we've come to expect at huge sporting occasions, only amplified.
Deafening noise at the toss when the stands were barely a quarter full, huge blocks of colour, roughly 90% blue. More flags than an Olympic opening ceremony, constant music played over the speakers, even during play.
But the delight was in the detail. Before the match, one pundit described it as "World War III". The reality was anything but.
In some sports, rivalry can mean abuse, hatred and even violence. India and Pakistan supporters proved that it need not mean hostility.
Fans mingled together, dancing to the beat of the same drum, exchanging songs and good-natured banter.
It was an occasion for families. Our friend in the pink pram was not the only one too young to realise what was going on. Indeed, the amount of strollers, buggies and pushchairs must have created some sort of record.
Overall, there was a great sense of freedom, an outpouring of joy just to be there, regardless of the action on the pitch, best demonstrated by the fall of the first wicket of the day. When India batsman Rohit Sharma was dismissed, the big screen showed a Pakistan and India fan both cheering together.
And, these guys know how to have a good time. The Barmy Army think they like a song, but they've got nothing on the India fans.
There's no choreography, no co-ordination, just pockets of supporters doing their own thing. You think you're in the best spot, but then see something else that looks more fun, like being at a house party and not knowing which room to stay in.
In his book Fever Pitch, Nick Hornby explains that top football clubs would like to have their stadiums full of corporate boxes, because that would generate more revenue.
However, the reason they don't is because it is the ordinary supporter that creates the spectacle. How dull would a Premier League football match, a Six Nations game, or a Las Vegas fight be if they were played out in front of an empty house?
Not so in Adelaide, where the spectators stole the show.
The match itself struggled to live up to the hype as India beat their bitter rivals by a comprehensive 76 runs.
But the passion, colour, noise, and good nature of the two sets of supporters created one of the great spectacles in sport.
The wandering spider, commonly known as a banana spider, was spotted crawling out of the fruit in Asda's Chesser branch on Tuesday.
A shop worker caught the female arachnid in a plastic jar before calling the Scottish SPCA.
The spider, with a 10cm leg span, was taken to the Edinburgh Butterfly and Insect World where it later died.
Shop worker, Petra Merriman, 45, caught the spider.
She said her male colleagues had been "in panic" after discovering the spider.
She said: "All the boys were running round like headless chickens.
"One of the chaps who was putting a box of bananas in the display took a lid off a box and saw it was curled around a banana.
"We got a phone call in the back office saying come and deal with this spider.
"The guys all said 'I'm not going.' I said I would. I'm not arachnophobic at all."
She added: "I brought a pot with a secure lid down with me, and I just popped it in.
"I didn't have to touch it, I just put the pot underneath it.
"Nothing like this has ever happened here before."
Kevin Thom, of Edinburgh Butterfly and Insect World, said: "It isn't deadly but its venom contains high levels of serotonin.

Thae Yong-ho, deputy envoy in London, and his family are now under the protection of the South.
Without listing his name, the North's Korean Central News Agency said the envoy had been accused of leaking secrets, embezzlement and child rape.
It said the UK had been told in June and had been asked for his return but instead handed him to South Korea.
My friend the North Korean defector
In a commentary, the KCNA said "[the fugitive] should have received legal punishment for the crimes he committed, but he discarded the fatherland that raised him and even his own parents and brothers by fleeing, thinking nothing but just saving himself, showing himself to be human scum who lacks even an elementary level of loyalty and even tiny bits of conscience and morality that are required for human beings".
The KCNA accused the UK of "handing over the fugitives without passports to the South Korean puppets and neglecting its duty to protect diplomats living in its own country".
Britain's Foreign Office has not commented on the affair.
Mr Thae is thought to be the highest-ranking North Korean official ever to defect.
His main mission in London had been to spread positive perceptions of the North Korean leadership.
Seoul announced on Wednesday that Mr Thae had arrived there but refused to give further details about the defection.
In the past, Mr Thae had argued the British were brainwashed by their ruling class into believing "shocking, terrifying" lies about North Korea under its leader Kim Jong-un.
"If the people in this country, or in America, knew that there is a country in the world where there is a free education, free housing, free medical care, then they'd have second thoughts," he had said in one speech.
The BBC's diplomatic correspondent, James Robbins, says it now looks as if Mr Thae's heart may not have been in the task of defending North Korea.
South Korea spokesman Jeong Joon-hee said: "On his reasons for defection, Minister Thae cited disgust with Kim Jong-un's regime, admiration for South Korea's free, democratic system and the future of his family."
The 19-metre (62.3ft) wave happened between Iceland and the United Kingdom, off the Outer Hebrides.
It was created in the aftermath of a very strong cold front with 43.8 knot (50.4mph) winds on 4 February 2013.
The WMO, which released the data, said the previous record was 18.275 metres (59.96ft) in December 2007.
That wave was also in the North Atlantic.
It is not the biggest-ever recorded wave, however. In 2002 a ship spotted a 29-metre (95 ft) North Atlantic wave.
In 2014, the M4 Donegal buoy recorded a 23.4 metre wave, but the WMO said the new record was based on "significant wave height" which required certain measuring methods and observing periods.
The buoy is part of the UK Met Office's network of Marine Automatic Weather Stations. Known as K5, it sits in the North Atlantic off the Western Isles
The buoys complement ship-based measurements and satellite observations, which monitor the oceans and forecast meteorological hazards on the high seas.
Giant waves can be created in the north Atlantic, which stretches from the Grand Banks plateau off the coast of Canada to the area south of Iceland and west of the UK.
In winter, wind circulation and pressure systems cause extratropical storms, sometimes known as bombs, the WMO said.
The height of a wave is measured from the crest of one to the trough of the next.

Ben Saunders, 36, from Plymouth, and former Wasps player Tarka L'Herpiniere, 32, trekked 1,795 miles to complete Captain Scott's ill-fated Antarctic expedition.
The pair endured temperatures of -46C (-51F) on their 105-day journey.
Mr Saunders said it had brought them "close to the brink".
Captain Robert Falcon Scott led the first British team in the Terra Nova Expedition in 1912, but on the return journey their food supplies ran out and they all perished..
Mr Saunders and Mr L'Herpiniere set off from Scott's Terra Nova Hut on 25 October and reached their destination at about 01:15 GMT.

How did Amundsen beat Scott to the pole?
Organisers of the Scott Expedition said it was a the world record for the longest polar journey on foot in history.
Mr Saunders said the achievement was "almost impossible to comprehend".
"Completing Scott's Terra Nova expedition has been a lifelong dream and I'm overcome to be standing here at the finish."
He said the trek - hauling heavy sleds and experiencing temperatures as low as -46C (-51F) - had been a "mammoth undertaking" that had tested the bounds of their bodies and minds.
"At times we found ourselves in dire straits in the intense cold, wind and altitude of the high plateau, weakened by half-rations and closer to the brink of survival than I had ever anticipated," he said.
"Both Tarka and I feel a combination of awe and profound respect for the endurance, tenacity and fortitude of Captain Scott and his team a century ago."
Writing in his blog, Mr Saunders said receiving a message from Prince Harry in January had "made their day".
When Captain Scott, Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers, Lawrence Oates and Edgar Evans reached the pole, they found a Norwegian flag planted by a rival team led by Roald Amundsen.
Mr Saunders is one of only three people in history to have skied solo to the North Pole, becoming the youngest explorer to complete the journey at the age of 26.
The purifier can clean about 800,000 cubic metres of air per hour, tech start-up Envinity Group said.
"A large column of air will pass through the filter and come out clear," Henk Boersen, the group's spokesman said.
The filter had been showcased at an exhibition in Amsterdam.
"It's a large industrial filter about 8m [26ft 2in] long, made of steel... placed basically on top of buildings and it works like a big vacuum cleaner," Mr Boersen explained.
The company said the vacuum cleaner was able to suck in air from a 300m radius and up to 7km (4.3 miles) from above, and filter out 100% of fine particles and 95% of ultra-fine particles.
"Fine particles and ultra-fine particles are known to be extremely harmful to public health," Envinity Group said on its website.
Fine particles are caused by emissions from burning wood and other fuels as well as industrial combustion. Ultra-fine particles are released by emissions from vehicles as well as aeroplanes.
About 90% of EU residents are said to be exposed to high levels of such particles.
Last month, an air-purifying system designed by Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde was installed in Beijing.
Smog Free Tower, which uses patented ozone-free ion technology, can clean up to 30,000 cubic metres of air an hour and collect more than 75% of the harmful particles, according to Studio Roosegaarde.
The man, a 39-year-old imam known as DD, is one of two suspects in the UK who are subject to a TPim - a Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measure.
The order requires the Somalian refugee to wear a monitoring tag, but the High Court ruled it must be removed due to a deterioration in his mental health.
The Home Office said it was "disappointed", but would not appeal.
The court heard that DD, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is suspected of radicalising young people and making a "powerful contribution" to an Islamic terror group's media campaign.
Lawyers for Home Secretary Theresa May told the court there was evidence the man had provided important support for Somali militant group al-Shabaab for many years.
His role included recruiting "young and vulnerable individuals from Europe", they said.
But Mr Justice Collins ruled that requiring the man to continue wearing the ankle tag - slightly larger than a sports watch - now breached his human rights because his mental illness and delusional thoughts had grown worse.
There was medical evidence that DD had psychotic and unusual beliefs that the tag was there to punish him, said the judge.
He believed it contained a camera and a bomb, and that voices and noises were emanating from it, the court heard.
Two doctors had accepted that DD was not exaggerating his symptoms. There was no doubt that the tag might produce a further deterioration and result in serious self-harm, said the judge.
Requiring him to continue wearing the tag was a breach of article three of the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits inhuman and degrading treatment, he said.
"Since the appellant has the delusion that there is a bomb in his tag which will be detonated so that MI5 can kill him if a judge allows his appeal, great care should be taken with the removal of the tag," Mr Justice Collins warned.
"It may be considered sensible not to inform him of my decision that the tag must go until on some pretext the tag has been removed."
But the judge refused to lift the TPim itself, saying the decision to maintain it was not legally flawed.
A Home Office spokesperson said: "We are disappointed with the verdict of the court that certain restrictions to which the individual was subject should be removed.
"But the court found there was sufficient evidence to support the national security case to impose and keep in place a TPim notice and restrictions on this individual's activities to protect the public remain in place."
Greenpeace hailed the decision as a "momentous win" describing the area - known as the Great Australian Bight - as a "pristine marine reserve".
BP was awarded exploration licences in 2011, but has struggled to receive approval from Australian regulators.
The oil company said that, after a review of its oil projects, it had decided the Australian proposal was not as competitive as other opportunities.
"We have looked long and hard at our exploration plans for the Great Australian Bight but, in the current external environment, we will only pursue frontier exploration opportunities if they are competitive and aligned to our strategic goals," said Claire Fitzpatrick, managing director for BP's exploration and production in Australia.
"After extensive and careful consideration, this has proven not to be the case for our project to explore in the Bight."
Greenpeace was among the environmental groups that opposed the plan and pressured Australia's oil industry regulator to reject it.
"This news will be especially welcomed by the local communities near the waters of the Great Australian Bight like the tourism operators, oyster farmers and fishers who rely on it for their livelihoods," said Greenpeace Australia oceans campaigner Nathaniel Pelle.
"Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull should now heed this signal from BP, stop further oil exploration in the Great Australian Bight for good, and protect this unique wilderness while he still can."
To encourage opposition to the project, Greenpeace produced an advert reminding Australians about the explosion of a BP oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.
The advert ran before screenings of a new film based on the disaster.
The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig killed 11 workers and caused an oil spill that became the worst environmental disaster in US history.
In July, BP said the final bill for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill would be $61.6bn (£46.2bn).

The union leader told Politico that a Labour victory on 8 June would be "extraordinary" given the state of the party and criticism of it in the media.
He suggested winning 200 seats - nearly 30 fewer than in 2015 - would be a "successful" result for Mr Corbyn.
It comes as the Tories said there was a £58bn "black hole" in Labour's plans to nationalise two key industries.
Labour's manifesto - published on Tuesday - did not set out how plans to nationalise the national grid and the water industry would be funded.
The Conservatives said bringing them back into public ownership, which would require a future Labour government to compensate existing shareholders, would add £14bn to the national debt in one year alone.
But Labour, which has also pledged to nationalise the railways and Royal Mail, said it could be done at no net expense to the public purse and that consumers would see their bills come down by as much as £220 a year.
In other election developments:
Mr McCluskey's intervention came hours after Mr Corbyn launched his party's manifesto, which the Labour leader described as a "programme of hope" and which included billions for schools and the NHS and an expansion of free childcare.
The leader of the UK's biggest union said he was supportive of the manifesto but was not "optimistic" about Labour's chance on 8 June, given the hostility which he claimed it faced in large sections of the media.
"In terms of the imagery of Jeremy, that's a huge task," Politico quoted him as saying.
"He's got now just under four weeks to try to see if you can break through that image and it's going to be a very, very difficult task...whether that breakthrough can happen, we'll wait and see.
"I'm not optimistic, but we'll wait and see."
He added: "People like me are always optimistic… things can happen. But I don't see Labour winning."
He went on to suggest that if Labour emerged with 200 seats - which would be about 30 fewer than Ed Miliband secured in 2015 - it would represent a "successful campaign" given the circumstances it found itself in. Should than happen, it would be Labour's worst result since 1935.
"I believe that if Labour can hold on to 200 seats or so it will be a successful campaign," he said.
"It will mean that Theresa May will have had an election, will have increased her majority but not dramatically."
Mr Corbyn was quoted as saying earlier in the campaign that he would stay on whatever the result of the election, citing the mandate he has from his leadership victories in 2015 and 2016.
Both Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband resigned after leading Labour to defeats in 2010 and 2015 but, amid speculation that jockeying for position has already begun, there have been suggestions that Mr Corbyn could stay on if he equals the 30.4% vote share that Ed Miliband got in 2015.
Labour is defending its plans to exert state control over key utilities amid uncertainty over what the final price tag will be and how it will be paid for.
It said it would not put an "arbitrary figure" on how much it would cost to nationalise England's nine water companies and the National Grid, saying the compensation due to existing shareholders would depend on a range of factors and would ultimately be decided by Parliament.
But it said it would be achieved by exchanging government bonds for shares in the relevant companies, and since profits currently used to pay dividends would be used instead to pay interest on those bonds, they would be "no net cost" to the exchequer.
The Conservatives criticised "the premise that nationalising the water market and energy grid don't add to borrowing", saying the result would inevitably be higher taxes or rising bills.
"Jeremy Corbyn can't deliver any of this," a Tory spokesman said.
"These are made up numbers, based on a shambolic manifesto with a £58bn black hole at its heart. While his figures are a fantasy, it is ordinary working families who will pay."
Labour, which has said it would return the railways to public ownership as franchises expire, has also made a series of multi billion-pound spending commitments on health, education
It insists they are fully costed and will be fully covered by tax rises, including increasing corporation tax from 19% to 26% and raising the top rate of tax for earnings above £80,000 to 45p and to 50p for income over £123,000.
But the Institute for Fiscal Studies has said it was "genuinely uncertain" whether increases to income tax would raise the £6.4bn Labour has earmarked, adding that they represented a "big increase" for high earners.
Labour has also said it would return the railways to public ownership as franchises expire, or in some cases using franchise reviews or break clauses.
Rail was at the heart of George Osborne's vision of a "northern powerhouse".
The Tory manifesto pledged: "We will electrify the main rail routes, build the Northern Hub, and provide new trains for the North."
Stood before a train in Crewe during the campaign, David Cameron said the government was taking unprecedented action to rebalance the economy like "electrifying the rail lines between the main towns and cities in the north of England".
But months before his manifesto was published, there were public warnings that electrification was in deep trouble.
In November the Office of Rail Regulation said Network Rail had missed 11 of 44 milestones.
It added: "Looking ahead, this has raised serious questions as to how the company will deliver the ambitious programme expected in CP5 (Control Period 5), particularly the electrification projects."
Control Period 5 - in rail jargon - runs from April 2014 to March 2019.
It also said Network Rail had overspent its budget by £40m in the financial year so far and the figure was due to rise to £112m for 2014/15.
That was the first of a series of warnings.
In December the ORR chief executive Richard Price wrote to Network Rail boss Mark Carne to warn that "slippage on critical milestones jeopardises the delivery and timing of important benefits to passengers and freight customers".
The warning was echoed by the chair of the ORR Anna Walker in another letter days later. The correspondence is in the public domain.
Yet another letter from the ORR that month made clear the original timetable for TransPennine electrification would slip.
The letter said: "The original 2018 completion date for electrification works is now unlikely to be deliverable and there are uncertainties around the scope, timing and costs of the project still to be resolved."
Network Rail itself indicated delays in its plans were coming in a document published in March.
A chapter on programmes in the North of England, including electrification plans, noted: "We anticipate a number of revised milestone dates will be confirmed during that process and will be published in the June 2015 update."
The Department for Transport - run then as now by Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin - hadn't failed to notice the problem.
The top civil servant servant there, permanent secretary Philip Rutnam, told a parliamentary committee in January that the challenge to deliver some electrified routes was "very large".
Now the electrification of the Trans-Pennine route from York to Manchester and the Midland main line from York to Sheffield has been put on hold.
The Department insists that the Midland Mainline and TransPennine electrifications have been paused - not scrapped - and the government remains committed to making them happen.
Labour suggest the public have been deceived.
They have asked whether the prime minister and his colleagues waited until after the election to reveal a crisis in rail renewal they knew about well before polling day.
For the politicians this will become a battle not only about competence on the railways, but trust in high office.
John Leathem, 32, was jailed in October for a minimum of 27 years.
He had admitted stabbing the 15-year-old in a "savage and frenzied" attack at his deli in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, on 19 March.
Pamela Munro told BBC Radio Scotland that she wanted to sit in front of Leathem and ask him why he acted in the way he did.
Leathem had claimed he murdered Paige because she threatened to report him for sexual assault after she applied for a job at his deli.
Speaking on the Kaye Adams programme, Ms Munro said she wanted to hear Leathem admit he had made up the story.
Paige's mother said: "I'd like to sit with him in front of me and ask him why.
"And I'd also like to ask him why he's made his excuse or reason as to why he's done it.
"Paige isn't here to clear her name and I know as Paige's mum that she never said that.
"And I know everybody that knows her knows she never said what he's saying."
Mrs Munro added: "I want him to say for the few people that do believe it, I want him to say and clear Paige's name because she can't clear her name herself, so it's my job as her mum to do that."
When asked by the radio presenter if she would be able to cope with sitting in front of Leathem, Mrs Munro added: "For Paige's sake I could do anything.
"If I thought there was a tiny bit of hope that he might say 'I made that up' then I could sit there in front of him."
Mrs Munro said sitting through the trial in close proximity to Leathem was the "worst thing" she had done.
She told the programme: "With him standing there, I was metres from him. He was really, really close beside myself and Andrew. It was worse than even identifying her [Paige].
"It was kind of like 'this is the man that killed my daughter'. I wasn't sure how I'd feel. I thought, am I going to lash out, am I going to do something daft?
"But with my husband by my side and my dad and all our family, it kind of held us together."
Mrs Munro said she tried to catch the eye of Leathem during the court case.
She added: "I tried. We all stared at him but he never made eye contact with us. He just looked to the ground he never looked once."
Following his 27-year minimum sentence for the killing, Leathem lodged an appeal against the length of time he must spend in prison.
Mrs Munro said she was braced for Leathem's appeal. However, she urged him to accept his fate.
She added: "I was ready for it. I think he's got a cheek. He should accept the sentence that's he's been given and just be grateful that it isn't longer. It's a big thing the sentence and I also think that he should be given longer."
The body of James Attfield, 33, was found in Castle Park, Colchester, on 29 March 2014.
More than 100,000 hours of police time and 10 arrests have so far led to no charges, Essex Police said.
Det Ch Supt Steve Worron said it remained a "priority investigation" and re-appealed for information.
Mr Attfield, who had a severe brain injury after being hit by a car in 2010, was found dead in the early hours of Saturday, 29 March, after last being seen at the town's River Lodge pub on the Friday night.
A year on, officers said they were treating the death as murder, but had yet to uncover a motive or find a weapon.
About 140 knives have either been recovered by police or handed in by the public, but all have been eliminated from the investigation.
Police said 850 witnesses had also been spoken to, but they hope more people will talk to officers during a campaign in the town over the weekend.
Mr Worron said he had not identified any mistakes made in the investigation, adding: "It's incredibly unusual for an incident of this type to still be investigated a year later, but that's because we have an absolute determination to do the right thing by James, his family and the wider community."
Appealing for information, Mr Attfield's mother Julie Finch said: "I am very confident that someone will eventually [be brought to justice]. Any secret, it always comes out in the end. Somebody knows something."
The deadline for a £10,000 reward for information securing a successful conviction has been extended for a further three months.
Fifty-year-old Dowson pleaded guilty to three counts of participating in unlawful public processions in 2013.
The offences occurred during protests at the decision to limit the flying of the union flag at Belfast City Hall.
The judge ruled out imposing community service after hearing Dowson is under threat from two different sources.
Prosecutors said anyone involved in the marches in January and February 2013 broke the law because prior notice required under legislation was not given to police and the Parades Commission.
Demonstrators coming in from the east of the city passed sensitive interface locations, with disorder breaking out on some occasions.
Although it was not suggested that Dowson was involved in any trouble, Belfast Magistrates' Court heard he was captured on video taking part in three of the processions.
He was seen walking at the centre of one large crowd, and then at the head of two other marches, it was claimed.
A prosecutor said Dowson, originally from Scotland but with an address in Comber, County Down, had initially denied any wrongdoing.
"He accepted being present but disputed that they constituted a procession," the lawyer told the court.
"He said he was an Orangeman but denied knowing any notification document had to go to the Parades Commission."
A defence lawyer said that Dowson should be given credit for pleading guilty rather than fighting the charges.
The court was told that he had resisted any chance to "bang the drum" by fighting the allegations.
The defence argued that Dowson was not involved in any disorder, instead urging others not to break the law.
During the hearing, the judge questioned Dowson's suitability for community service.
But she rejected that option after hearing how the apparent threats against him could lead to others being put at risk.
Sentencing Dowson to a three-month jail term, suspended for 18-months, the judge said she considered the offences to be "serious".
A list of the top 50 music millionaires in the UK and Ireland puts the singer's £85m fortune in 30th place - an increase of £35m compared to last year.
The only female singer with a bigger fortune on the list - which also covers Ireland - is Irishwoman Enya on £91m.
For the fifth year running Adele is also ranked top of the Young Music Rich List, covering those aged 30 and under.
The 27-year-old's fortune was boosted by the November release of 25 - her first album in four years.
The singer made her debut on the under-30s list in 2011 in ninth place, but by 2012 she had secured the top spot, a position she has held onto ever since.
Adele is now ranked at number 30 in the overall UK and Ireland music millionaires list, above Sir Cliff Richard, Gary Barlow and Kylie Minogue, and up from 43rd place last year.
She's one of just three solo women to make it onto the 2016 list.
Adele: The full story
1. Sir Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell £760m
2. Lord Lloyd-Webber £715m
3. U2 £500m
4. Sir Elton John £280m
5. Sir Mick Jagger £235m
=6. Olivia and Dhani Harrison (wife and son of the late George Harrison) £220m
=6. Keith Richards £220m
8. Ringo Starr £200m
9. Michael Flatley £198m
10. Sting £185m
Earlier this year Adele made history for a solo artist when she picked up four Brit awards, winning best female solo artist, Brits global success award, best single for Hello and British album of the year for 25.
Her album 25 has now sold over 15 million copies.
Adele declined to put the album on music streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music.
Ian Coxon, who has edited the Sunday Times Rich List for two decades, said he expected Adele's fortune to continue to grow.
"Adele is only 27 so I would see her getting in the main list of the richest 1,000 in a couple of years - she is only £15 to £20m away now," he said.
Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney topped the overall Sunday Times Rich List of musicians with an estimated £760m fortune.
Sir Paul is worth £30m more than last year, according to the ranking, boosted by his American heiress wife's £150m stake in her family's US trucking business.
It puts him well ahead of his nearest rival on the list, Andrew Lloyd Webber, who is estimated to be worth £715m.
The Rolling Stones - with combined fortunes of £630m, up £40m on 2015, were ranked the wealthiest band in Britain and Ireland, ahead of U2 with a joint fortune of £500m.

The 27-year-old has played only once since the end of last season, in England's pre-World Cup game against France when he injured his back.
The Northampton loose-head will undergo an operation on Tuesday.
"Six Nations is a very long way off for him, I think his focus is on getting himself fit and back in the Northampton squad," said Saints boss Jim Mallinder.
"We have to keep positive with him, you don't chuck injured lads over the boat, you do whatever you can to get them fit as quickly as possible."
The procedure is not thought to be major, but will keep the British and Irish Lions forward out until well into the New Year.
"It's an operation which is just a bit of a clean out, nothing major, he just has a bit of a niggle," Mallinder added.
"It's not good for him, he is being positive and we are being positive.
